So proud

That's great!! The accomplishments the 2 of you have received are awesome. From one service member to another please tell him I said congrats. I am in the Army but the Marines will be the same way. You get out of it what you put into it. If he hates it time will drag on, if he loves and embrasses the life it will be a long and fulfilling carreer. And I too an curious as to what occupation he has chosen? Ask him if he has thought about EOD. As a parent I know you don't want him to do anything that puts him into extra danger but it is a very fulfilling job.
