Vigil graduates from boot camp

SANDIEGO – USMC Private Alex Vigil graduated from an intense 13-week boot camp at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in San Diego on Jan. 15.

Vigil is a 2015 Fallbrook High School graduate who played three years of varsity lacrosse and decided to sit out his senior year to remain healthy for the rigors of Marine Corps boot camp.

It has been Vigil's life-long ambition to serve his country as a United States Marine and now that dream has come true.

He is currently attending Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) school at School of Infantry (SOI), Camp Pendleton. Vigil is the son of active duty Marine MGySgt T.J. Vigil and Mary Vigil of Fallbrook.
