My son just reported to MCRD SD. I am so proud. He is the 3rd generation in our family after my father and me. Hope all the IT he received as a boy will help him.:evilgrin: Cool thing is there is only 17 years between us going to boot camp. So I know alot of what he is going through. There was 30 years between my father and me so things were alot different.
Can't wait to see him graduate. OOORRAAHHH! Both my dad and I are going, and my lowly Air Force sister(She just happens to have TAD orders to Anahiem that week.)

I didn't get the initial phone call on the night he arrived. I sat at work all night waiting to put him on speaker phone so all my lazy co-workers could hear the chaos. I did get a collect call the next day but it wasn't the scripted babble. He actually got to tell me unit info. Anyone else not get a phone call?

Tharx...

Boy are you in for a ride. I relived it all with my son. It was more intense
that the first deployment that came a few months later.
He will do you more proud than you will ever believe.
Think you were proud on the Parade Deck?
Wait till he is on the parade deck and you are in the stands!
