Boot camp

[Tuckerjr]

Just got a call from my son Cody at Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island, he has made it through the crucible and is now a Marine. I am sooooo proud of him.

He's had a rough go of it, developed a stress fracture with about 4 weeks to go and was put in a medical platoon. But he's hung in there, healed up, finished his training, and passed/survived the crucible. And I get to see him on Thursday.

It's been a good day....

Awesome! I went to san diego but due to a hip condition they said i had i didnt get to go up to the crucible. I was in a seperation platoon similar to the med hold platoon. Its a good/bad place to be. You get to heal up but at the same time all your new friends are graduating without you. Semper fi!

I'm a former Marine, and I can tell you that your son is now a member of the Elite Warriors. You should be proud of him, and yourself. You must have raised him right. Semper Fi!
