mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted March 23, 2014 One of my grandsons came by this afternoon on his way to the Marines induction center and will leave tomorrow to start his basic training. It is a really proud grandpaw that is writing this but a little worried also with the state of the world right now anyhow this is one of those bittersweet moments that brings a smile to your face while a tear runs down your cheek. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joker 618 Posted March 23, 2014 Wish him all the best in the Marines. If remember correctly you said he was going to Camp Lejuene, NC. That is where i grew up and my father retired from there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
