God bless the USMC!

My B.I.L. just received orders. Report to Quantico for OCS on 01OCT09. It's been an "interesting" past seven months with him living in our barn, trying to find his way, wondering if he would get back in the Corps. Sometimes being in limbo is the worst thing.

My old buddy "Cowboy" has been a great friend through all this.

I'm glad he's getting things together, but I'm also glad to get Garage Ma'Hal back in service.

Thanks for listening.

That's great. Just what the Corps needs....another officer.

You know what I always loved about brand new Officers?

Nothing.

Congrats to him.

Thanks Mac,

It's put a lot of stress on me and DW. She won't say, but she's relieved also.

Pass on my congrats too, along with a hearty Semper Fi.

See there, you did a good thing helping your BIL and now everything worked out fine. You got some good karma coming Jerry!

Glad to hear it, Jerry. Hope it works out extremely well for your BIL.

(And glad you got the "Garage Ma'Hal" back, too.

Congratulate the young man and give him a Semper Fi for me.
