Update January 4: The recruits and one sergeant were sworn in as U.S. Citizens on Thursday, just one day before graduation.
WTOC 11 offers a follow up report and video (see it up top, or over here).
The Island Packet also offers a more news-style report (subscription).
First reporting: Thanks to new expedited naturalization rule, a group of graduating recruits at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island will be sworn in as new U.S. citizens today, January 3, at 10 a.m.
