Thanks again for all of your comments. We went to Camp Lejeune for his return. It was great to see him again. It did take him several days to get use to driving again....we did have several...

Many thanks to all of you. Still waiting for the exact date but we are now only days away.

In several weeks my son is set to return from his first deployment to Iraq. We plan to be at Camp Lejeune for his return. For those that have been there before for such an event, what are they like?...

Melody: Indeed, the tranformation from recruit (boy) to man (Marine) is remarkable. On Family Day/Graduation Day the difference in your son will take your breath away. It is a shame that more...

Thank you for your response. He does plan to take the course. Per his Sgt's advise, he is selling the bike. Lesson learned.

If this is not an appropriate question, I apologize in advance. I was looking for some input on NJP. My son graduated from PI in May of this year. Subsequently he obtained his MOS (Motor T/LVS). ...
