You are fortunate to have the presence of these young men. My wife and I just returned from Beaufort, SC this afternoon and saw a number of new graduate Marines from Parris Island with their families. Does make us proud to see such fine young men (did not see any ladies but know they are there) representing our great nation.

Excellent!
You also have good taste in your gun selections. I just bought another case of surplus Gewehrpatrone 11. Still reasonably priced despite the ammo shortages. (except for the shipping)

There can’t be much of that stuff left. I don’t know how many rifles were imported, maybe the ammo will last for a while. It is superb!

The ladies were there.
My daughter was there 7 years ago (now a Staff Sergeant at Little Creek).
The thing that impressed me the most about her and her friends was their bearing around other people.She graduated at 30 from Parris Island after earning several university degrees, but her “presence” around other people was a far cry from the typical graduation gatherings I had attended.

Your grandson and his friend have my admiration for their accomplishments and my gratitude for their service.
You have my envy for having such a child that raised such a grandson.

One is able to spot the Marines, active or inactive, out of a crowd of service personnel in civilian attire with a very high rate of success.
The first tell here was the grip on the weapon. As in "Go ahead, try to take it away and make my day."

What a coincidence. My son just finished boot camp at MCRD-PI and graduated on Friday, too! Very proud mum.
