Proud Poppa Alert, Part II

Some of you may remember my Proud Poppa Alert last week about my son. Well, The military made him re-take the ASVAB to verify that he didn't cheat on the one he took last week. He scored higher this time. He scored 147/150 on the GT and 149/150 on the mathematics.

He became a US Marine 2 hours ago.

Good luck to this determined you man.

My old high school girlfriends’ marine son was chosen to represent The Corp in certain billboard adverts. She went up into the clouds and may never come down. Gotta admit I was about as impressed as I’ve ever been.

I remember all of the 'Hollywood' Marines that I served with whining about Mount
Muthah...IDK, I think I would have traded that one march for being in a southern swamp for
3 months served up as bug food 24/7...lol. Seriously, though USMC boot camp is brutal no
matter which MCRD you go through...I view it as one of my life's greatest accomplishments.
If you can survive that, you can survive anything.

By the way, here is where you go to get Marine stuff. I bought the PFC challenge coin with my son’s name and the date he graduated boot camp engraved on the back. Since then, I’ve bought the Lance Corporal and Corporal coins. He has lots of other coins, too, and his dad bought a coin cabinet.
