Congrats. Not to diminish your boy’s accomplishments, but He isn’t a Marine until his Drill Instructor puts that Marine Corps emblem in his hand at the end of Recruit Training. On that day he will have earned the title Marine. On that day myself and my fellow Marines will welcome him into the brotherhood.
Yeah, he told me that. But you don’t know him. He sets his mind on a goal and it’s as good as done. He would have to get mangled in a car wreck in the near future to mess it up.
