Snip, snip, went all my hair.

Marines, Poolees, and Future Marines,

I'd like to, and proudly so, inform the people of Leatherneck that I have returned from Parris Island with the Title. For those veteran members of the community, you will remember me. I can remember joining these forums as a young boy still just in the Young Marines program, so eager to enlist. Years flew by, and through that time, this forum has played a major role in influencing my knowledge and sense of espirit de corps even before the true professionals and tribulations that lie ahead of a new recruit on Parris Island and San Diego instill.

Graduated PFC on 20100903 at 1000. Needless to say, I ensured myself and my parents were the first to fly out of that Island via car, going anywhere but there. Far, far away. :marine:


Going to take some more time to unwind and get everything ready for MCT before I sit down and enjoy the boot leave. Hopefully get RA so I can have some extra time to settle in and enjoy giving back to the RSS that allowed me to stand here today.


Thank you, Leatherneck, for providing such a great source knowledge. This place is truly a great gift to all of the Marine Corps; whether you be a Marine, a wannabe Marine or friends and family. One Mind. One Corps.


P.S: Proud to have been a 3rd Battalion thumper, Mike Co. Ooh-rah! :evilgrin::beer:

It certainly is an honor to be able to participate as a Marine among this great community, which is such a wonderful network of Band of Brothers. Marines from all walks of life, times, stories, etc. A great source of history, knowledge, and camaraderie here.

To who asked and for general info, my MOS is 1371 Combat Engineer. But, as we all know, it's needs of the Corps first. But that is what my contract is gearing towards at this time. Thanks again to all, it's a great feeling right now, and a pleasure and honor to share it with you all here.
