Yesterday

Or evening walks with your fiancee.

Your a Marine, if you can get through boot camp you can do it. I have faith in you.

Just in case get those dress blues altered.
My favorite pics of my son are from when he was in the corps.

Thanks for chatting with me. It broke up my evening caring for my son.

Du has the best people. Wishing you and your lovely lady many years of joy and happiness.
