Buy your shirts and weighted shoes (Needed to keep your feet on the ground) now and get ready for Graduation.

Be ready, you will not recognize him:usmc:

Now go buy your XL T-Shirts - Or Larger because they might be tight. :scared:
Warning: Chests have been known to swell after “Graduation”

Bring plenty of "Sweat Rags". Marines don't cry or smile for photos.
Exception: Graduation :cry:

And I say this with ALL sincerity, a big reason your son will be a Marine is staring at you in the mirror. He did it but you got him there.

I thank you for raising another “Fine Marine”! :marine:

Friday Grad(4/18) and then a 10 day leave before going to SOI:evilgrin: I still don't understand when he made his travel plans home why he didn't book a return flight to SOI?? No Recruiter asst. I know that for sure:confused:

They ALL get 10 days off after Boot Camp before MCT (Marine Combat Training):evilgrin:

Then MOS School unless 03__ They have a much more intense Compat Training than the POG's (Personnel Other than Grunts) - Support

Be ready, "he's a REAL Man (Marine) now"

Yes He is 03XX unless things have changed. But why didn't he make his return flight I wonder.

No Clue.

But be a good parent and check his orders.

My Marine was off by a day (Late). - You got it - Fecal material hit the cooling device.:scared:

It turned out ok because several others had late flights. - He now arrives a day early.

PI doesn't do the PLT. video's just SD..I think your recruits get a liberty or phone call's instead:cry:
