Graduate, I agree. My father is a retired Marine, my brother is a Vet. I love and respect the Marines, but this is just nitpicking. For the majority of my life, people have pronounced my name differently than my parents. My Father is southern and my mother is a Pacific Islander. They do not even pronounce my name the same. Does this mean that everyone who pronounces it differently has been disrepecting me? I need to hold a class! lol The base needs to spend that training on something else.
Matter of dialect and pronunciation.
