tell him to be himself, if he really wants it and explains what it means to him and why he joined, they will be able to tell whether or not he wants it. pretty much he has to show how much he wants it. tell him to keep his military bearing, be profe…

I have heard from several people that it is very small and very low key. Not worth traveling any distance for....but that's a matter of your own personal preference I guess! Nothing like PIR though!

Hey Lynn. Are you sure he didn't say "some crazy lady" ? LOL.

It makes two of us who have been away from N4M's for a while. I work at a school and this time of year is actually as hectic as the first week the teachers are back.

The file is just under a Mb so it may be blocked by AOL as being too big. If so, let me know, and I will upload it to box.net and send you a link to it.

How is he doing? My son is hoping to enroll in an EMT course at the local tech school this summer so he can find a better job while he goes to college. He had his first drill weekend and came back sooo pumped and looking so good. He is very happy with his choice to join.

Hi Lynn! I got to talk very briefly to your son at the Corpsman Graduation ceremony. What a nice young man! Anyway, I tried to send you a message with a friend request so I could arrange to send you the picture/video I have of him. Let me know where to send it.

My son hasn't been posted yet, but I can tell you Newport, RI is a gorgeous place. Take any opportunity to visit. I'd put it up there with San Diego and Sausalito as far as cool factor. FYI- Providence airport, TFGreen is way easier than Logan, and rental cars are cheaper. May, June, July and September are fabulous. Best wishes!

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for the info on how to obtain a DVD for Shannon's PIR/Graduation from Boot Camp since she did not get one for us :-(
However, like an idiot, I did not remember the money order requirement and got my check back! So I went to my bank and sent another request for the DVD with this money order. Hopefully, I will get a DVD but once again, thank you for the information and I do apologize for the delay with telling you this.
