  • Our first time seeing our new Marine on this wonderful and exciting Family Day event (which is always on Thurs, the day before the graduation ceremony).
    We got up about 5am, arrived by 6:30 for the check point, and then just in time for the 7am Moto Run. Then some well-deserved time with James, from about 11am to 2pm or so.
    It was a fantastic time - and a new experience for us (except for my Marine uncle and aunt, who were all experienced in this area).

    I was there when they first arrived in January, I was india and I watched them in the chow hall get absolutely blasted by DIs as we just recently became marines, it was funny and I'm more than positive he saw the same thing when he got past the crucible and laughed as we did, good to have him around

    I was wondering from your son’s first day how long did it take to receive a letter from him? I want to thank y’all for yr service.
    I have two sons that just entered Boot Camp.

    • @BobMazzo
      @BobMazzo  2 роки тому +2

      God bless you, and God bless your sons. We used Sandboxx online for our first letter, and it only took a couple days if you send on a weekday. Snail mail could easily take a week or more. I mean, some people on the fb groups complained that it would take weeks for their letter to arrive to P. Island. So sandboxx is the best bet for quick messages. And they also provide a RETURN envelope for your recruit (you might pay a little extra for that if I remember). Good luck - and Semper Fi !

    Your uncle at his age would have never trained at that third battalion barracks because the 3rd battalion barracks was just rebuilt a few years back so he would have probably trained in the old third battalion barracks if he was in a 3rd battalion platoon. They completely tore down old 3 a good while back

    • @BobMazzo
      @BobMazzo  Рік тому +1

      yeah, not sure where exactly but he was at P.I. Maybe he wasn't thinking at the moment when I had asked him that question. There was so much excitement. LOL

      @@BobMazzo
      3rd battalion was the first barracks to be made of brick, 1960, marking the end of it's continuous deactivation and reactivation in the changing wars. In 2011, they relocated to the modern one, but the original 3rd BTL Barracks was similar in design, except the DI hut was parallel to the racks instead of perpendicular.
      Me, in 2022, with the internet at my disposal, and having only been there two years ago still forgets details. I'm sure your father was referring more to the general barracks layout, which hasn't changed much since the late 60's.
