Jimh... you watching the documentary on the Paris Island Boot camp on
PBS. It started at 2100 ADT here.

It is not being aired by either PBS channel here.

Thanks for heads up Don. I will keep my eyes open for it with future
broadcasts here.

Our cable military channel has had several shows on the USMC boot camp.
I am also about to read James Woulfe's book "Into the Crusible".

We received another letter from our son today. He remains upbeat and
is looking forward to seeing us on Family Day (11-8) and graduation
(11-9) then chilling at home for atleast 10 days. He volunteered for
recruiting assistance during his leave which will keep him at home
another 2 weeks.

He cannot wait for a perch fry upon his return!

Thanks for keeping my recruit in mind Don!

BTW: My son (19 years old) is actually loving boot camp and has done
well in all PT exercises, including Pugil Sticks. I would bet that he
could knock out a couple of the older confrontational aholes here within
a minute, including some non boaters who hide behind silly handles.
Although it might take a bit longer, I would guess my daughter could do
the same. ;-)

It does sound like you have provided your children with an excellent value
system.



Yes I have. They both know how to take care of themselves and there is
absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You didn't teach that to your kids? Perhaps yours are the ones everyone
picks on and beats up on for their lunch money. Like father, like son. Eh?




So you taught both of your kids to knock out older people?
