A buddy that graduated from High School with me just, yesterday I believe, graduated from Recrute Training in California.

I wrote Daryl about the week they start in on the rifle range week 8 I think, I said in my letter make me proud and shoot an Expert. I got a letter back and that said it looked like he was on the top in his platoon on the rifle range.

I am going to give him a call this week to see how it went for him, he is home for 10 days then back for the Combat Training.

I dont remember what his MOS is it was Security Force then he switched to a Reservist ($10,000 bonus for it) so his MOS probably changed.

I have to admit I am jealous.

Plenty of opportunities to shoot and play with things that go bang... and your uncle is paying for all the ammo! :)

SEMPER FI!!!
10 years on active duty here and I don't regret one bit of it.
I enlisted 2 days after I turned 18 and got out 2 weeks short of my 28th birthday.
If I had it to do over again I'd do it in a second!
