It's good to hear the update of his training. I know it's tough on him and as parents it's VERY tough on us as well. I'm sure he's doing fine and beginning to adjust and with each day of training he gets closer to being that Marine !! Stay strong and proud !! He is !!

Tell him thank you for his service, and thank you for supporting him. I know it is hard.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
When I began this thread, I did so incorrectly. You see, before my son went to bootcamp, he had the title of Poole. Once he entered bootcamp, he became a recruit. TODAY, September 10, 2016, he officially receives the title of United States Marine! If I was emotional the day he left, I'm much more now. This morning his platoon completed an event, a rite of passage, called The Crucible.
This morning, around 9:00am, he exited as that Marine. I want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, that replied to this thread. Your words of encouragement and support mean so much to me. And now the journey truly begins, huh?

They enter as recruits > 54 hour event > travel 48 miles > carry 45lbs of gear > cover 36 stations > with 29 problem solving exercises > only 6-8hrs of sleep > only 5 MREs > exit as Marines
