953 nut 55,247 #8 Posted November 24, 2022 I'm sure you are very proud of your grandson's decision to go into the Marines. Sounds like he is an ambitious young man and I applaud his decision to serve our country. If he applies himself the military offers lots of avenues for advancement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,362 #10 Posted November 24, 2022 As a father of a Navy vet, I say one of the best things he could do for himself. My son said he got meet people from all across the country and see how others think and act, which gave him a broader view of life. He even said it was the best decision he could have made for himself. He was also able to put himself through college. He's turned out to be a good man. So I'm happy for your grandson. Hope he has the same experience with his decision. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
