"RCE" wrote in message ... "JimH" ask wrote in message ... August 13, 2007. One day before our 25th Wedding Anniversary our son leaves for Paris Island. He is slotted for Military Police training after completing basic training and *earning* his right to officially call himself a Marine. He originally planned delayed entry in mid September but the MP opportunity came up if he went in earlier. Even before his decision to join the Marines he has been concentrating on his physical condition, recently completing a community event 5 mile race and finishing in 2nd place. He will continue with the physical preparation but will now start to mentally focus on the fact that he will be leaving for Paris Island in 6 weeks. We are very proud of him and his decision to join the Marine Corps. Make that Parris Island. Sorry to disrespect the name. Best wishes for your son. Although tough, the physical aspect of basic training is not the big challenge. The challenge is mental. Make sure he is prepared for it. Eisboch Thanks! Based on weekly meetings with his recruiter, family meetings with the local US Marine Corp. recruit families and Staff Sergeants, reading a training guide for Marine boot camp and watching numerous videos offered to him by his recruiter and friends of ours (who's sons successfully went through boot camp) he will be ready. He has given a lot of thought into this and started the mental process even before he officially signed the papers. |
