Sir, I must compliment your son. I am quite certain that he has MANY good qualities but the one that impresses me most here is his sense of TIMING! Going through Paris Island is TOUGH but going through PI in the summer is MISERABLE & TOUGH! The fall is probably the best ‘season’ even though he may have had to do cleanup after H.Matthew.
My son just finished boot camp in the summer and it is brutal with the humidity, and the sandflies.
Trace Adkins sings a song about marines at Parris Island,and while the west coast does boot camp at Pendleton, Parris Island will always hold special for most marines and he country due to history and tradition.
