New Marine recruit

[Tripper]

Well, my son joined a bit back as DEP/POOLEE, slotted to go in October, he offered to be on standby
Well he did IST at recruiters over the weekend, the recruiter said this Monday is s high chance he will leave, if so expect a call Sunday night or early Monday morning... Sooo early morning went by, so didn't think nothing of it, then the recruiter calls, says "is he ready???"
Anyway, he went to MEPS and will fly to San Diego in the morning to catch up with those that shipped yesterday
Apparently Lima Company

Let the fun begin, some of the best and worst times of my life. Semper Fi

Congratulations too your son for enlisting!

[Sir Toast]

Outstanding! Best time of my life was Marine Basic Training. Toughest time as well. Semper Fi.

You should get him a graduation present, like a nice watch, new tablet, etc. Maybe something you can have engraved? Ring?

[Tripper]

Thank you all
They get offers to order the grad stuff themselves, I'd guess he will grab his own ring, but if he doesn't I can between basic and MCT

Active duty guys don't really wear moto stuff, I say get him a gun. Or maybe a K Bar.

I was going to suggest a 1911

I think I have a sig 220 with his name on it

Be careful with changing dates for boot camp they can and most likely will change his mos without him knowing it

He will be returned to you a better man in just a few short weeks. Beats the heck out of a semester or two at UC Berzerkely as far as reality/common sense being instilled into a student goes. Congrats, and am glad he made the grade.
