You should be so proud! I love the photo of my husband when he grad Parris Island in 1974. In every photo I see of the grads over the years, they have the same expression; like, ok, it's time to kick some butt! God bless your son, and America! :patriot:

Thanks all! I'm obviously pretty damn proud to have raised a son with such drive. Guess we must have done something right.

congrats, going aviation or ground pounder?

He's headed to Camp Geiger in January for Marine Combat Training and then to Ft. Sill, OK for Field Artillery School. Not sure what subspecialty yet.
