As someone who lived at Parris Island perhaps I can help.
The weather in July is totally, absolutely, unbearable. Hot, and humid. Similar to TN but more humid due to being on a swampy island on the coast.
Yes Sir, having been there a couple of times in the past I would agree wholeheartedly
In years long past now, parents would dress up for graduation. Jackets and ties for men was normal.
Today the mode of dress is far less formal. You will see everything from jacket and tie down to shorts and t-shirts.
Thank you. I should be gtg with a Polo if I can get the warden to approve.
Perhaps one or two will recognize the Leatherneck Tartan but don't expect it to be too well known. The USMC does not have kilts as part of the uniform and no adopted or official Tartan.
Roger that, I'm going to let him decide which tartan to use and go with that.
Every Marine remembers his graduation day. Parents are there to honor their Marines so do him proud and dress as would be appropriate for a church social.
Avoid overdressing as the focus should be on him and the graduation ceremony and not "The guy in the kilt".
I wasn't planning on wearing a kilt until he mentioned it, but it's at his bequest so anything he wants at this point I'll try to do it 
And please pass on a "Semper Fi" from me.
