Than the letters started and they made me ill. He was unhappy and thought he made a mistake. well now he is doing better can not beleive he is going to get thru this but knows he will. He said he is sorry for being a lazy kid and if he knew than what he knows now he would have appriciated things that he took for granted. This is hard but as you and your son we will all make it and the young men we get back will be better for it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It's located SE tip od South Carolina its a small town with a large marine preseance near by. Bascially Paris Island is tough as nails its no joke even for people who go physically fit. In my opinion MArine basic is the toughest of all branches [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I THINK SHE MADE A MISTAKE AND THAT SHE WAS HIGH PRESSURED INTO IT. SHE IS SUPPOSED TO GO TO PARIS ISLAND IN AUGUST, AFTER SHE GRADUATES HIGH SCHOOL. I DO NOT THINK SHE WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT; SHE HAS SEVERAL HEALTH PROBLEMS (INCLUDING A BAD KNEE, ASTHMA, AND KIDNEY PROBLEMS - I DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW SHE PASSED THE PHYSICAL) SHE RECENTLY HAD A MISCARRIAGE AND IS NOT IN GOOD PHYSICAL SHAPE AT ALL. HER FIANCE AND I WERE BOTH VERY SURPRISED WHEN SHE MADE THE DECISION AND SIGNED ON ONE DAY AT SCHOOL WITH NO WARNING. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION THEY CAN GIVE ME ABOUT PARIS ISLAND IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: I will be a Paris Island Mom 2 weeks from tomorrow Author: Pamela [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:20:37 09/08/05 Thu Hi my boyfriend is fixing to graduate from basic training and it has been the hardest thing i have ever done in my whole life is to let go of the one man that i truely love but as time goes on you learn that what they are doing is very important to them and it means alot to them when you stand behind them 100% they need you to tell them how proud you are and that you love them and what they do takes guts and pride. I am proud to say that my boyfriend comes home the 23 of august and he just found out about his home catching on fire and he has lost every thing he owns so keep in mind what they do not only makes them strong but makes them take things like mike (my boyfriend) deal with bad situations better so be proud it is not a mistake it is a good thing we need some back bone in our nation pamela [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
