LOL. My son was there earlier this year, now based out on the West Coast.
Have you joined the Marine family support pages on facebook?
As for jokes , then trust me, he is in third phase now, and he is looking forward to graduating, and doing that Crucible.
If there are any questions, then please ask me, as we were up there this year for graduation, and where to stay for graduation, when he goes to Camp Geiger for combat training.
I hope Freepers have an inaugural ball in Washington DC that he and I can attend. Trump's inauguration is right in the middle of his leave.
