No. He’s currently in the USMC Reserve. His plan is to go for the PLC in college, which is a track to a commission in the regular Corps upon graduation. He was told that being in the Reserves was a good punch to have on your ticket to get selected for that.
He should be back stateside (to Camp Pendleton) in a month or so.

Of course, his family and friends are very proud of him. Thanks for asking and be assured I relay the support he and all the troops receive on this board.

Gotcha. I only live a couple miles from MCAS Cherry Point and our town is fairly small—every one knows pretty much every one, at least by sight. :) Just wondering if there was another “thread” to tie us together! LOL

Congrats to your son. I know you’re proud of him!
