How much will he be able to communicate to home or will he? Should we try to go to that graduation or is it no big deal? I haven't seen much about it.

Inquiring minds want to know. :)

A BIG CONGRATUALTIONS TO YOU!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

What does POA mean?

I want to add my thanks. Until now, I have posted a number of times in Poolee Hall and participated in Chat. The Marines have been very helpful to me and supportive. They also put up with all of...

He added some more pictures yesterday. I hope you all enjoy!

Accord, we received the DVD yesterday and although it is very nice for an overview, it doesn't quite fill the bill for personal memories. The DVD only showed one very short glimpse of my son. The...

He uses a Canon Digital Rebel DLSR. He used 2 different lenses.

My hubby is not a professional. He is a serious amateur!:D

Feel free to browse his other galleries, if you'd like. Thanks for the compliment.

Sorry, if this bores you, but I just had to share these with everyone. It may give the poolees a little idea of what is to come!

We had a wonderful 2...

I didn't think a Marine could be a stranger to a "Marine Mom". I'm not much of a cook, but my hubby could sure fill you up with good New Orleans Cuisine.

We'd love to meet any of our new Marine...

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS !

Marine Mom {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

This is one proud Mom! My son was meritoriously promoted to PFC!

Quillhill,

The picture in my profile shows Marc just one week before he left for Parris Island. The picture is actually of our whole family.

I will look for a better picture of Marc to post...

I will be bringing home my new Marine from Boot Camp at P.I. :)

I don't know if this is the correct forum to put this in, but I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all of you for being here for me....

I don't know about the same DIs, but my son has a month off because the MCT school is not starting during the holidays. You normally get 10 days leave after Boot Camp unless you get assigned as...

I'm sorry. I visit the Chat room here and the Marines are just wonderful there with wives and moms. They have stopped my whining many a night and reminded me that my son will soon be a part of an...

Best wishes on your training. Stay focused and try to stay motivated. If you PM me, I'll send you some moto mail.

My son graduates from PI on 12/8 and I can hardly wait. He went through the...

Thanks for the link Jim!

:( In a letter I received from my son yesterday, he told us he currently has cellulitis of his face from a sand flea bite on his lip. He is still on full duty, but he is on medication. I pray that...

:cry: I can totally relate to your parents right now. When my son told me he had enlisted, I totally lost it! "ANYTHING BUT THE MARINES"!!!! I had only month to get used to the idea after he told us...

As a Mom I know exactly how your mom feels. You need to point her here. There are Marines and other moms that look out for us too and encourage us while our recruits are in boot. There are also...

I hope I am in the right place. My son will be picked up tomorrow by his recruiter and leaves for Parris Island on 9/11. I am a nervous wreck and I can't stop crying! I've been lurking here this...
