Welcome to the Leatherneck family. You will need to continue to guide and direct him through his poolee time. He will need that structure and support throughout his time as a poolee and as a Marine. And he will need to be told to Man Up at times when he gets back from an event a bit beat up, worn out, and ready to toss the whole idea.

Again, welcome and congratulations.

Welcome to the finest fighting force in the world, Semper Fidelis.

Congrats to your son, from another Marine dad. I'm certain you have always been proud of him, but that is about increase ten fold! Best wishes to him and your family!

Congrats sir. My son has been a poolie for a bit now, and leaves next week for Boot. He has been working his tail off and is excited to go. I wish you and your son all the very best.

Want to have some fun? Give it few months for your son to get into the poolie-thing. Then if he doesn't ask, tell him to invite the poolies over for pasta meal, or some video games, etc. You'll be amazed at how many yesirs, yesma'ams, nosirs and noma'ms you and your family will hear. I think the transition to Marine occurs the instant they raise that right hand - and it is pleasure to behold.

WelcomNCdad and I extend congrats to your son. He just took another step closer to one of the greatest honors in this country in my opinion, Becoming a United States Marine. Congrats again to you and your son and Semper Fidelis.
