That is why I was so hard on him in the politics area, getting him ready for basic.................j/k.  Sounds like a good kid and I wish him and your family all the best   .

Always wonderful to see a Dad's pride, and the fine young adults we have entering our military.   Attending his graduation will be a moment you will cherish.  Good Luck to Him, and Thank You for sharing your pride!

I exchanged a few emails with him recently about the Corps and I was very impressed with his maturity.  I spent 27 years in the Corps and retired in 97.  I hope he got the MOS he wanted and I also hope he pursues becoming an officer.  Best wishes to you and your family, you have raised a true patriot and hero.  His graduation from basic training will be a very memorable occassion.
