They really can't have anything until they get to A school. We gave our son a NEX gift card.

My family and I are going to watch our son graduate from boot camp on the 19th. Does anyone have any Idea's of a graduation gift that we can get for him.
He turns 19 3 days before he graduates!

Yes, FMTB is correct...In addition to being a Navy Parent, and then employed with the AF is sometimes a challenge (I have many acronyms listed in my vocabulary/computer). I suspect I will hear the same once Jim is finished. Thanks for your insight..

I'm thinking you might have meant FMTB (Feild Medical Training Battalion) , instead of FMF (Fleet Marine Force) . My son, also James went through FMTB at CP. He said it initial started out restrictive like BC but got better after about 2 to 3 weeks in. He said the PT was at a much higher level then BC. He said he lost 15 #'s during the 8 weeks. But he said the training was great. He liked it much more then the HM training at GL.

Thank you to you and your family for your service to our country.

BTW: Mid 40's, rain and the snow is going quickly.

Well spring is here. Checked out the weather at CL and they are enjoying spring weather (66 degrees and we are 18 and covered in a spr snow storm). Jim and a number of his cohorts drove X base and began thier class at FMF yesterday. Yes, they will be busy for the text 8 weeks. Received a text and was informed he had started and informed me it is only a little better than Boot Camp. LOL Yes, they will miss that freedom they have been enjoying since their arrival to CL these last few weeks. However, on a postive note, at the end of their training they will have saved some $ and will be able to say they are well trained professionals..

Thoughts and prayers for them all. Class down in CL begins on Monday so they are all scattering and trying to get their life in order. Had to send a number of texts as a reminder to make sure my son submits his taxes before Monday arrives. Since we all know they they will not have any time to address their personal agendas/business, once class begins. Guess they they will all eventually learn time management. During this exercise, Jim has quickly learned coordinating 8K miles from home takes patience and time delays. Too, since he just found a set of wheels and having to pay taxes, he is learning the cost of being an adult. Now he knows how it feels when I speak of budgeting and life is challenging; ie " Wow" The light bulb came on!

Found this on N4MS while catching up the news from the Coprs Mom/Dad's group: Sending packages to your sons and daughter while they are overseas.

Call 1-800-610-8734 opt 1, then opt 1 again. Tell them you want the military package. They will send you 6 priority pack N ship boxes of various sizes. Along with packing supplies and tape.

You can also print your postage online and save up to 40%. Just DO NOT tape over the bar code.

www.usps.com and click on Qucik N Ship. You can even schedule a pick up. You can also reorder as well from the sight. Nice to have on hand. It takes about 7 to 10 days to receive.
