Hey guys,
Crow Waxer posted over at RFC.  I guess he's home on leave.  Sounds like he is one proud marine.  He has every right to be proud, but I'm sure he can't be any more proud of himself than we are of him.

I just read a post from him over on the marlin owners forum that he got back home friday night, and he's proud as the NBC Peacock in full color to be a "Marine".

Actually Dali, I think he's just home from boot camp.  However, I believe he was doing that in The Peoples Republic of California, so maybe you are philosophically correct.

Jim, I did. I posted the "web sight" for him too. He said he would check Graybeard out to see who was here. He probably has a lot going on, I think he's only home for a week or so. I sure hope he comes over here!!!

We'll know about ironglow's grandson as soon as ironglow reads this post. He is "ONE PROUD PAPA" and rightly so.

Ironglow is GLOWING...
   Didn't really want to bore you with proud Gramps spouting off....but remember, you asked for it!..LOL
   My grandson Joshua, graduated fron P.I. (Parris Island) on April 23.
 He had his Dad and mother ( with their present spouses there) as well as myself and Grandma.
   We were there on the 22nd and the 23rd, the 22nd being "family day".
 As I remember from my military experience, platoons have their own personalities.
   Also as I suspected, Josh's platoon was only mediocre at the "spit and polish", but they excelled in the field.
   After completeing training, with a high attrition rate...the company graduated 262 men.
  Of these 262, Josh was one of 12 that qualified "expert" with the M-16....sorry to say, Josh wasn't "top rifle", but he was second place rifle just four points from taking the top spot.
   Now here is where the platoon "personality" comes from...Josh did get special mention for his accuracy at rapid fire at 200 and 500 yards; plus he was top in his weight class with the pugil sticks and excelled at martial arts.
  He had a "head start" with his martial arts though; Gramps drove him 40 miles each way, 2 nights weekly for 2&1/2 years so he could train under the Sensae (teacher) I wanted him to study under.
  He celebrated his 20th birthday during his undergoing "the Crucible"!
  Josh had 10 days leave; we didn't see him alone very much though...a certain pretty little blonde didn't want him out of her sight for very long..LOL
  Josh is now at Camp Geiger (part of Camp Lejeune N.C.) studying advanced infantry and weapons.
  A couple more weeks and he will go to Pensacola to study with Navy Air in his chosen field of "Avionics ordnance".
   Yes; I am sure proud of my grandson...but of course, every family member visiting P.I. each week at graduation has just as much right to be proud.
  We mingled with some of the "new Marines"....what a fine group of young men they are!!!
  Waxer's family should be positively "puffed up"...because he succeeded in his quest....it wasn't easy!
   BTW...Josh admitted that when he emerged from the gas chamber and started waving his arms as they were told to do , he jokingly tried to immitate a soaring eagle....
     DI said, "you don't look like you had enough...go thorough again!"...
  He took it philosophically...LOL

Ironglow, you're a great American (as Sean Hannity would say) and you've helped to make your grandson one too.  Congratulations.

Thanks Guys..
  I do hope that people keep appreciating our military folks..
   When Josh stopped for lunch at a local Burger King, an elderly gentleman would not let him pay for his own meal...the gentleman insisted on buying his meal for him.
   I DO HOPE this treatment of our military lasts...I remember all too well how we were treated during the Viet Nam thing ,when I came home at discharge..
   Unfortunately there are some politicians and their lackey media
  who are right now doing there best to make our troops serving in Iraq look bad.
  Curiously; these politicians are some of the same people that condemned our troops in Viet Nam...

Bravo, to the senior gentleman.  If ever I encounter your grandson in an eating establishment, his money will be no good.

Update on my grandson, Joshua;
  He has finished at Camp Lejeune and since his school at Pensacola is filled, he's going to Aberdeen proving grounds to study small arms ordnance and repair( supposedly at ordnance level). I suppose it is possible that he was given the old bait-and-switch that I saw the Army do in the old days...
  In any case, since that's a 10 week course, he may well see action sooner than expected.
  Keep our military sons and daughters in your prayers, please...
