Semper Fi to all my fellow Marines on board.
All of my spare time and weekends lately have been 'volunteered' to help out with a local high school MCJROTC unit, drill competitions and support. Granddaughter is on the drill team, and once the Master Sergeant / instructor found out that I was a Marine, I got 'volunteered ', lol. Brings back a lot of memories watching those young folks drill and learn to act as Marines (actually how all people should act) : respectful, courteous towards others, prompt and on time, etc. The Granddaughter has matured immensely since starting the program, and at least half of the seniors in the program are either on delayed enlistment, or on a ROTC scholarship for college. One has an appointment to West Point, two to the Naval Academy. It gives me great hope for the future to see these young men and women, and hope that programs like this are going on all across our country.
I will be attending the Marine Ball at the high school on 10 November as a chaperone (only downside is I have to wear a suit and tie, lol).
Sorry for the SOS thread derail.
Again, SEMPER FI!
