Leaving Wednesday morning for Parris Island SC. My grandson is graduating from Marine Boot Camp Friday morning. This is the grandson that I had the pictures on here with his guts hanging out after he wrecked his motorcycle.
Was real surprised that he passed the physicial with a large scar running completely across his abdomen from side to side. He's tough and the marines is what he wanted, and I'm real proud of him. Based on his letters, He's really ate up with it and gun ho. Qualified as "Expert" on the rifle range shooting 248 out of 250. I hope he never has to use that skill. Anybody on here close to SC? Maybe we could meet and have a couple adult beverages.
Serving the Pocono and Lehigh Valley(Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, Monroe, Pike and Wayne Counties), PA community as well as both Warren and Sussex Counties of New Jersey
Just dropped Blake off at the airport. He has to report to N.C. tomorrow to complete his combat training. 27 days there and then to Georgia for his tank training. After that, who knows??
He sure has progressed into a "Man" in a short period of time. Almost got tired of being called "Sir",. Real proud of him.
Next time you talk with your grandson will you personally thank him for me. Tell him thank you for serving our country and providing the security and freedom for me and my family..
