My son left for Scotland a couple days ago. He was selected to train with the Royal Marines for three weeks. He went with 5 other guys from his squad. He is really looking forward to the opportunity, and particularly because his great grandparents are from there.

Good for him; good luck to him and all his squad mates.

I had a blast over there with the Brits, same thing when they came here. I was over on that exchange program back in 96/97. Did a month over there.

tell your son to watch out if they go out and somebody yells "naked bar".

Those Brits are good people, train right too.

Tell him to have fun, I wish I was him.

The good ole days.....http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9509&d=1213222154

A pic of them after climbing Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Scotland. He's on the lower right, kneeling and wearing the khaki cap holding the flag.
