MARINE CORPS RECRUIT DEPOT PARRIS ISLAND, S.C.— The Ehret family has a new service member in their legacy. Pvt. Jacob Ehret with Echo Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, graduated from boot camp July 31, 2026.

Pvt. Ehret comes from a strong military background. His father, Jason Ehret, is a retired Marine Corps major, and his mother, Carmen Ehret, is a retired Navy Captain, with his grandparents also serving in the military.

Carmen Ehret commissioned in the Navy after attending college and spent her first five years as a Surface Warfare Officer. After having twins, one of whom was Jacob Ehret, she left the Navy for nearly two years. Eventually, she returned to the Navy as a reservist until her children entered kindergarten. She signed a package to return to active duty, where she became a Human Resources Officer, and completed her service at 23 years.

Mrs. Ehret has since been diagnosed with cancer, making Pvt. Jacob Ehret's graduation even more meaningful. Despite her battle with cancer, the disease couldn’t stop her from seeing her son graduate in person.

“It’s overwhelming,” said Mrs. Ehret about being there in person. “Just the amount of pride, and I guess the relief too. I mean I can’t think of anything better”

His father also made it to the graduation ceremony.

Jason Ehret enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1990 at 18 years old and was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin, California, as a CH-53 Avionics Technician, later becoming an Aerial Observer.

Later in his career, he applied to the Broadened Opportunity for Officer Selection and Training (BOOST) program. The defunct program positioned him to become an officer through Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. He eventually became a CH-53 pilot and returned to his previous unit at MCAS Tustin.

“I went back to the same squadron I was in when I was a lance corporal,” said Mr. Ehret, “So now my roommates that were all lance corporals with me are now all staff sergeants and gunnery serge
