My Grandson just Graduated from Parris Island, NC Marine Recruit Training on January 5, 2007. I (and my family) are so proud of him my eyes tear up at the thoughts of seeing him the first time in his uniform.
What we saw was 500 slim clean-cut young men -fine looking Marines. What a fantastic job the DI's did in just 3 months. I wish I could thank each one of those DI's personally.
I would like to post his picture in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial at Parris Island but I'm not sure how to do it.
Thanks for listening, Proud Grandpa and Proud Family!
Congratulations!
Of you can use photobucket.com to host the photo and post it from there.
Let me know how i can help.
Again, congratulations!
I love fine looking Marines......they do my heart good. Congrats on raising an American that knows the price of freedom for our great nation.
Ping to StarCMC, in case TNoldman would like to add his son to our military prayer list.
THAT IS JUST GREAT!
Congratulations and God bless your grandson.
You just brought tears to my eyes.

Congratulations to you and your Marine!
My oldest leaves June 26 for recruit training...maybe your grandson can pass along some advice for a nervous new recruit?
Congratulations on your new Marine!
Many of them will be headed to MCB Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar and other climes and places in the Corps, not just to JVille, New River or the Pit.
