My son just finished The Basic School at Quantico. He ships out tomorrow to Okinawa.

Neither OCS nor The Basic School are for the feint of heart.

You go in as a boy, and you come out as a Marine Corps Officer.

Good job, Dad, for letting him decide the way he should go. What he learned in Quantico will support him the rest of his life.

Salute!
