Have fun! Its always been better going back there as a Marine than a boot in training! I asked for the Island as my duty station of choice for my first re-enlistment in 2001. Was there till June 2004. Was the best 3 years I spent in the Corps!

My name is James and while i have never been privileged enough to earn the title, Marine, I have an undying respect an admiration for Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. That is how my father affectionately refers to his branch of service. I went a different route because of my age at the time of enlistment. I am getting ready to leave Uncle Sam's Confused Group after 6 years of active duty service. This however is not about me. My father is the man i most admire and i know a large part of the reason why and what he attributes his success and mentality to, is the Corps. I am simply trying to find out where i can get his service information without him knwoing so that i can present him with a shadow box. He never recieved one and knowing how he feels about the Marines, i can't let that stand. He means more to me than i can possibly express. If there is any information or direction anyone can provide so that i can give this Marine the honor he deserves, i would be most appreciative. That said, Thank you all for serving and God Bless
