Sgt. Maj. James K. Poterfield, sergeant major of Recruit Training Regiment, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., stands with his newly graduated Marine son Pfc. Calvin A. Albright, Platoon 3201, Company I, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, on the parade deck Sept. 14 aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. Albright, 21, enlisted in the Marine Corps to follow in his father's footsteps and to provide for his family. He had always looked up to his father's accomplishments and viewed him as his greatest influences and role model. Porterfield was given the opportunity to be the Parade Reviewing Officer of his son's graduation. "I'm speechless," explained Porterfield, 41. "The pride of being a father and a Marine and being able to share that with my son is a privillage." Poterfield graduated from MCRD San Diego 23 years ago and walked across the same parade deck. "I felt proud to have my father there watching us as the parade reviewing officer," said Albright. "I really appreciate him and I know I have big shoes to fill."
