Thanks to each and every one of you for your interesting comments and kind words on my posts. I read and ponder each one, even if I don’t have the time to respond to all of them.
School of Infantry Graduation was an unremarkable ceremony. It lasted fifteen minutes and within one minute after graduation the Marines were taken by bus and picked up by the fleet at Camp Lejeune. I have many comments on things I have learned recently, but all in good time.
Here is a picture of my son Daniel immediately after graduation. After thirteen weeks of Boot Camp at Parris Island, and two months of SOI at Camp Gieger, he is glad to lose the status “student,” go to Camp Lejeune and join the fleet. It has been a hard five months.
