As a vet (USAF), and as a Dad of two who chose the military (one now a Marine vet, the other a current Navy pilot), I can say that the military (in general) and the USMC specifically, will never,ever let a brother/sister down.

Talking w the first sergeant is a very, very good idea. SIL might get a verbal talking-to (we called it something different), and he might get some extra training (and he might have a need for it, and that's okay) but he should be used to some verbal flak by now.

All the very best to you, your daughter, and your Marine-in-law. (ooo-rah!)

Thanks... He doesn't have a problem with any extra flak. He's a good kid. I'll suggest again for him to speak to his first sergeant
