Is your borther an "open contract" or does he have a guarantee? Just curious what he will do in the Corps. Several of us here; when he graduates we will welcome him aboard...
BTW, is he going to Boot Camp or Parris Island?

Definatly write him letters everyday....
Good luck to your brother!
Plenty of
when he graduates.
Thank you all for your support and well wishes for him. Just in your responding to my post has shown more love and respect than has been given by my family through this.Is your borther an "open contract" or does he have a guarantee?

I am not sure what "open contract" is, however i do know that he is signed up for 4 years of active duty and then an additional 4 years of reserve. I just did the math on that... I will be 31 and he will just have turned 29 by the time 8 years is over. wow... thats big for me. Oh, and he is going to boot camp down in San Diego. He wants his M.O.S. to be something involving demolitions... lol, that sounds just like him
He talked alot about driving a special vehicle over minefields to detonate them (comforting! lol). Also, he is terrified about "black friday" when he meets his D.I.'s.This month has been really rough on him . Starting 3 weekends ago we lost our Grandpa to cancer. we both got to be pallbearers for his funeral. His girlfriend of 6 months left for college shortly before that and our parents (married 25 years) are in an ever more increasingly difficult divorce. I have been very very happily married for 2.5 years now, so I have my support through this. Paul (my little brother), i hope, will find himself and his needed support and distraction in the Marines. It's something we have both wanted to do since we were very little. Oh no... I just had a thought (I hate when that happens!). Christmas is going to suck! Sigh... oh well. Adapt and overcome.
Thank you again and please keep him in your prayers,
God bless
