High school seniors across South Florida are ready to graduate and move on to the next step in their lives.
And for many, that means joining the military.
About a hundred of those new grads who are about to serve in the Armed Forces gathered Saturday at Jungle Island for a special ceremony honoring them and their decision to enlist.
They took an oath of enlistment with U.S. Navy Vice-Admiral Joseph Kernan leading the way.
Each student also received a certificate as guest speakers reminded them what a bold and honorable decision they have made and that they are among an elite one-percent of high school students who choose to enlist in the Army, Navy, Airforce or Marines immediately after high school.
