How to carry your gear.

In this video you will see how Justin has to carry his gear.

USMC Graduates

A few more minutes and they have graduated.

Coming home for 10 days!!!! YEAH

USMC Graduation Day - marching

They all looked the same to me.

USMC Graduation Day

This is graduation day - nearly 600 recruits are filing onto the parade deck. We did not have the best seat and we froze. The recruits could have used a jacket also.

USMC ring

Justin shows us his USMC ring. Unfortunately, it is three sizes too small. This will be taken care of while he is at training in NC.

Justin shows us his quarters.

The recruits must remain on base while on liberty. The recruits first take family and friends to their quarters to show us thier home away from home. In this video, Justin is showing us his uniforms and his shooting badge.

Liberty

Everyone is eagerly awaiting for 10 a.m. when liberty begins.

USMC Family Day - getting closer to seeing Justin.

Family and friends have to watch a video, then the side doors open and the recruits start marching in. Everyone is eagerly awaiting 10 a.m. for liberty to begin.

Southern Traffic

This is what you call a traffic stop down south.

You have to wait forever for the train to go by.
