Just thought i would update... I received a letter today dated Sept.02... The letter was very upbeat and stating he was officially a Phase 2 Recruit now... That he was a brown belt in martial arts and had passed his swim Qual. He was asking for news articles about the Syria situation... His MOS is Infantry... Im planning on sending him the articles I find... I would think the DI's are "pumping" the recruits up about this situation... Maybe he wants the articles to see what was actually happening vs what he is hearing... Should I send the articles or not? Any help would be much appreciated...

IMHO, I would not send the articles. If the Drill Instructors wanted the recruits to know something they would tell them.
Keep the letters upbeat.
Brown belt ?
Thank you for the update.

Did not have MCMAP (martial arts) when we went to bootcamp but thought they started out with a tan belt? Don't know for sure however.
If he has the time to read newspaper articles more power to him.

Good Morning Marines... Just thought I would update you all on my Recruit... I have not received a letter in about 4 weeks but his girlfriend receives a letter every week from him... At least his priorities are in order...
Anyway he just finished team week and is well on his way to being one of THE BEST... He said they are coming together now, That he missed expert on the rifle range by 3 points... I can't wait for October 24th Family day !!! Words can not express how PROUD I am of him.. I have not missed a day writing him... This website and ALL of you MARINES have made this journey much more bearable... I know my Recruit has many more obstacles ahead to earning the right to be called a MARINE... I have all the faith in the world that he will SUCCEED... THANK YOU !!!
