This looked like a good place to put this. Congrats to the son. He graduated Marine Corp boot camp this morning at Parris Island. Thought I'd share the news.

Congratulations. I hope he get s assigned to a duty station safer than Iraq or Afghanistan.
I know that you are very excited and proud of your son. Congrats on a great achievement. As a parent you don't ever stop worrying. Rest assured that he got some great training and will get a lot more before he gets a deployment overseas.
I was a Hollywood Marine, San Diego, and 1975 seems like a long time ago. My son just turned 26 this past weekend.
Thank you son for serving his country.

Congrats!
My son started about 1 1/2 years ago, he's over playing in the sandbox at the moment.

Congrats to your son and a sincere thank you to him for his service to our country. My Dad did his boot camp at Parris Island in 1951.
Congratulations to your Marine. Thank him for his service for us. My son is in the Army Airborne Infantry and has already served one tour in Iraq. The Marines do it right...seven months in and then get out. The Army is a minimum of 12 months to 15 months.
We appreciate what he is sacrificing for our country but he will learn that it is for the guys next to him that he is really fighting for.
As a parent that just went through the war by staying home let me offer you our ears to listen, shoulder to cry on and rest assured that our prayers daily are for everyone of our kids. I fly over in that part of the world and as I fly within 30 miles of Iraq all through Saudia Arabia, over Jordan and Syria, I always have a fix in our computer for Baghdad and pray all the way around the country for our kids.
Let us know if you need anything.
