I need pics of when I was in boot camp during Dec 25th 2005. I was in MRP (Medical Rehabilitation Platoon) on Parris Island. "Mothers of America" came in and took pictures during Christmas and posted them on the net. I just want to know the site where they were posted.

My boyfriend, Derek, shipped out for MCRD San Diego on August 14th. I am so proud of him and cannot begin to express how happy I am for him. I cannot wait until he comes home! He is going to be One Fine Marine.... OORAH!

Guest		19-Aug-2006 22:11
A very good friend of mine, Joshua Dalton, has just graduated in Parris Island. I can't begin to express how proud I am of him for all that he accomplished while he was there. Thank you Josh (and all the other men/women of service) for making the choice to protect us. I love you!

Tony Byers		15-Aug-2006 17:40
I went through during the summer of 1990 (plt. 1064, oorah!). It's hard to believe it has been so long. I keep telling my wife that we need to head out there from Michigan to visit! Thanks for putting the pictures up, it reminds me of how proud graduation day made me feel.

Kelly		14-Aug-2006 23:27
My boyfriend is graduating from boot camp on August 25 at Parris Island. He first went to college for a short while and decided it wasn't for him, which is when he decided to join the marines. I am so proud of him, and all the other marines. I love you hunny!!

Guest		14-Aug-2006 08:41

My boyfriend also left for basic training and is graduating on August 18 at Parris Island. His decision was spur of the moment but he has always thought about it. I miss him so much. I am so proud of him for doing what he is doing so he can make a good living and support a great family! I love him and can't wait for him to come home! Semper Fi!

Haley Morgan		18-Jul-2006 00:45
My boyfriend left for the marines 2 days after he graduated high school, i've gotten several letters from him and I miss him very much! I can't wait to see him, he graduates on August 18 from "Mike" Company. I'm very proud of him, this is something he has wanted to do since 6th grade and most of all for his uncle that passed away a while back. He wanted this so bad and this week is the week of The Crucible, words can't even say how happy I am that he is persuing his dream. Whatever the future holds for us, I know that I will always cherish the moments we spend together! Semper Fi! Best wishes for all those that are serving over seas and for those that will be in the future. May God bless you and my prayers are with you each and every day!

My grandson has wanted to be a Marine since he was 3yrs old and he left for MCRD San Diego 7/11/2006 following in the footsteps of his grandfather and quite a few Uncles and Cousins. My brother who spent 21 yrs as a Marine went in on 7/11/1969. We are one very Proud Marine Family.

I Just had a brother graduate from BOOTCAMP and returned home to see me, his little sister, married. He was home for recruiting duty and recruited his brother-in-law. So, now I have a husband in his 9th week of BOOTCAMP. The pride I have is unbelieveable...I'm surrounded by the Few, the Proud, the Marines....Siemper Fi!

I was a recipient of the American Spirit Honor Medal upon graduating from boot camp on April 29, 1970. My MedaL was stolen in the UK many years later. I would like to find a web site that addresses information about the Medal. Can anyone help?

Twenty Eight years after being at MCRD San Diego I relived the memories after visiting this sight.........The lessons I learned from the great D.I.'s I had back then (of course i didnt think that at that time) still guide my life today! Simper Fi

My son leaves for MCRD San Diego tomorrow, so it was fitting that I came across this gallery. I must commend the photographer for telling the story of USMC boot camp through the eyes of the DIs. Fabulous work!
