CTM? When my son graduates he then reports to 29 Palms. I will be driving him and one of his buddies from Camp P as they have to report on that Sunday. Any time spent with him is precious. I grew up in Santa Monica so I am going to take a wrap. Trying to think of what to wear. LOL!!

ddsweety .... I think it is a great picture. I was just wondering if they could have cameras while they were out there, for some reason I didn't think they could. It is awesome that he has pics/memories from all of this!! Thanks for sharing ;))))

That picture did turn out rather odd putting it on here... My husband took my camera to their first field days. He took tons of pictures. He didn't send them to me. I have the camera card and all the pictures are on my computer.

Kathy...I am beginning to get excited since in a month I will be going to graduation!! Guessing it will be warm. Since they are not in dress uniforms, I won't be getting quite as dressed up as I did for his other graduations...

Hi Everyone!! I am new to this group and have a few questions. My son is currently stationed in Guam but will be leaving there in the end of March. He has to report for duty no later than April 27th for FMTB training @ Camp Pendleton. Is there a graduation ceremony like there was for Basic? Do family members attend? I wasn't able to attend his A-School graduation, so I would like to go to thisone if possible. Any information on FMTB would be appreciated. Thanks:)

TexasMom...When I read it on Thursday I was heartbroken. I haven't spoken with my son about this yet. Sending lots of prayers for his family.

PO3 Clayton Beauchamp is the younger brother of another corpsman, Chris, who was in Afghanistan with him. Chris is good friends with my son who is currently at Camp Pendleton in training and my son's heart is broken as he has spent time with the Beauchamp family and had met Clayton. Chris has escorted Clayton back home. There aren't funeral arrangements yet but when they're arranged, I will post.
Lots of prayers are needed for the family.

There are a couple of options on base. Two Inns and there are even cottages near the beach. I stayed in the Mesa Inn. Your son will have to sponsor you with his ID. Even though I have mine, they kept asking for him. I believe innsofthecorp.com is the website. There are also hotels in Oceanside near I-5 and the base that might be good. FMTB training is right there when you enter.

Hi All...I am looking into hotels for the graduation on 28 Sept. I thought there was something on the base. I have to arrive on the 26th because the 27th is a Jewish holiday and I don't want to travel on that day. Also, I am staying through the 1st. Any ideas?
