Hello, and thank you so much for this website. It has given me much needed comfort. My brother started at Parris Island three weeks ago on Monday. My family...
Gina, He is stressed, probably more than he has ever been in his life, and he is looking for some way to lash out. That's you! That's your job right now, to...
Gina,  First, welcome to the group! Your brother has, more than likely, gotten all those letters between the time he mailed his letter and you received...

I'm so very thankful for this group. My son left a week ago today, so next week I would probably be posting the same message about mail. Now I won't have to....
How long does it take the recruits to receive our letters? ... sending mail to their recruits, this file has been set to be delivered twice monthly. ... to...
Hi there,  My best guess would be anywhere from probably 4-6 days. I know it always took 4 days to get from Parris Island to Maine but always a day or two...

Hello, Trying to answer a question for a friend. After my son graduated in Augut of '07, the Marine Corps starting issueing Dress Blues as part of the uniform...
Janet There was a recent period after the new Commandant was installed and after he visited PI. He was reported to have asked why all Marines aren't issued ...
Glenn, so what you are saying is that it was only a brief time that the Dress Blues were issued at boot? Now, they are no longer issued unless the Marine...
Hi Janet, When my son was still in boot (graduated April) he told me he had to purchase his dress uniform (Deltas, I believe). I don't know at what point...
This always gets complicated and at some point someone gets mad at me because they think I am saying their Marine lied to them. That is not the case. The...
Hi - My son graduated Parris Island on Friday Nov 7th and all the graduating Marines were issued Dress Blues. Not sure how long it will continue, or when it...
My son graduated Feb 2008 at PI. He received his Dress Blues while in boot and he said he had to pay for them. He never said anything about getting an...
Glenn, What you said makes perfect sense. My son probably wasn't required to purchase them. As far as I know, he has only worn them for his pictures which...

Happy Thanksgiving My hope for all of you is that you will have a wonderfully blessed holiday with family and friends surrounding you. If you will have your...
Janet,  I couldn't have said it better! I am also thankful for my son's choice...and a bit jealous! He is having the experience of a life time as all our...
