I, too, am the proud parent of a Marine.
Plan now to attend his graduation. The transformation from "your kid" to Marine is startling.
There are some great online sources for parents. I'll try to forward some links to you when I get home.
Best of luck to the young man!

My son has a PLC Officer Selection App in hand. He is going to a Military College here in Alabama, and hopefully will get his USMC comission in about 4 years.
You should be proud...you know that...it takes a special kid to serve, and even more special to decide to become a Marine.

Mine graduated from Paris Island two years ago this month. The chubby little 11 year old that started in this hobby transformed. Much of what he learned doing CW helped him get through basic training, especially Bummers and In The Van....they gave him a taste of hardship, and let him know he could endure his training.
Wish your boy luck from us in the hobby. He can make it through, same as thousands before him.
Just remind him after the graduation ceremony that he can take time to taste his food when you go to a restaurant afterwards. It took Nathaniel a moment to realize that. The look on his face was priceless.

Let your boy know how proud you are. Nothing in this world like letters from home showing up to Basic.
Post his address, and I'll send him some thong panties sprayed with perfume and a box of cookies and brownies. That will help him get through it!! LOL!
