When a marine graduates from boot camp who makes their travel arrangements to come home for their 10 day leave? The family or that marine themselves?...
Hello and Welcome, First...ALWAYS capitalize the word Marine, ok? It's something that all Marines have earned and definitely deserve and something we abide...
I'm a pragmatic old fart and I consider gift-giving to be much over-rated. What your new Marine wants is your respect and appreciation for what he or she has...
Glenn, My son graduated almost 2 years ago, and your suggestions and comments kept me so well informed during the weeks of boot camp. So I have to agree...

"I love the Corps for those intangible possessions that cannot be issued; pride, honor, integrity, and being able to carry on the traditions for generations of...
We gave our son a Marine bible, a standard bible with the Marine Corps insignia on the cover and a special prayer and devotional section for Marine Corps...
Thanks Glenn, I has already decided to do just as you suggest because I would like him to pick something that has meaning to him. Only a little over 2...
It was a great suggestion, Glenn, and thanks! Kathi, you've got to be sooooo excited. I'm on the other end, enjoying the last week before Colin takes off...
Hello Group, It's been a while since I have posted anything I usually just read the messages. Well my son already a PFC, is currently stationed in Okinawa, ...
While we all have empathy for your situation you have to understand that the majority of our members are still working very hard to get through boot camp....
I had a very wonderful surprise yesterday! I found a site that has photos if PI posted by folks that have attended various Graduation dates. I was browsing...
Kathi, I am on that group. I also always scanned the photos to see if I could find Justin but never did. I am so happy that you saw Chris!! Next week is...
Glenn, Thank you for responding to my situation, although I must say you really should find an appropriate name for the group besides "myMarine" like perhaps...
Very good point. Quite honestly I wasn't thinking about all of that when I started the group. Does anyone else have an opinion on this? Should we expand to...
Glenn, MyMarine was my lifeline to sanity during my son's boot camp experience. I appreciated all your advice and straightforwardness. I didn't want to leave...
I'm a newbie who's son is going to SD on the 14th so I've only spent about 2 months reading here. Personally, I've found many other groups that offer...
I have been watching this sight the entire time my son has been a Marine, he will get our on Feb 23. Absolutely any one that wants to stay in and make...
Glenn, Well, I for one, would like to see it stay the the way it is. We could expand from time to time for those who are still here and that we've come to...
Glenn, I thought you said a recruit was really a Marine from the moment he swore in, but he wasn't given the Title until he completed Boot Camp (not a quote...
Glenn, I didn't mean to say anything to start a controversy amongst the group. I respect everyone here. I am just a loyal person and thought perhaps the group...
Glenn, You have established a wonderful group here. Don't change the name or the purpose. My Marine was in boot camp 2 years ago. I still enjoy reading the...
The description for the group does say it is for the parents of Recruits. I am flexible no matter what way the forum goes though. I know this place was really...
I feel for this parent and their Marine who is now out of boot and on his way to fulfill his career choice. Maybe the best solution for your site is to provide...
Hi everyone! It seems I read that I would receive a graduation packet around week 9? My son graduates 2 weeks from today and I haven't received anything yet....
Kathi, You'll receive it very soon. I don't recall exactly, but I know it wasn't week 9! If my memory serves me correctly, for my son, it was just inside 2...
Thanks Brenda, I will be patient and wait. I think I also was told before that there really isn't anything I really need because I can get a pass at the...
Kathy et al, We already have suggested follow on sites in the "Links" from the group's home page. We also now have two links listed in the email that is sent...
