My SSgt son graduated his 6th class from MCRD Parris Island today.
He has one more cycle and he will be finished with his three year Drill Instructor duty.
He is the Senior Drill Instructor this next cycle as well. Semper Fi son!
Congratulations!
Good for him! I can still to this day hear my Senior Drill Instructor’s voice and see his face in my mind some 32 years later. As a matter of fact, this past Monday was the day that I arrived at Benning…
That’s great! Heartwarming to hear a couple of good son stories tonight.
Thanks guys.
In May he returns to CA at Camp Pendleton.
I can finally see my grandkids more than once a year.
Congratulations!
Pendleton is about an hour south of me. If you’re in the neighborhood, let me know and we can meet for lunch and a beer.
Awesome, and thank your son for his service.

Great news Mike-glad that he and the family will be closer-makes life a lot more enjoyable. And thank him for his service.
Big salute and Semper Fi to your son, Mike. America remains safe and secure with men and women in service, always on watch, forever loyal.

Congratulations to your son and a brother Marine. My son SSgt with EOD is 1 month away from coming home from deployment. Semper Fi to him and Ooohrahhh!
Hey Stik, you Army guys don’t have Drill Instructors, you have Drill Sergeants. DI’s are in the Marine Corps. Like the ones I had in Parris Island. Ooohrahhh!
At ease leg… I fairly well recall the Senior Drill for my Company at Benning calling himself and and being referred to by the others as the Senior DI… Mind you it’s been over 30 years now and I hit my head pretty good upon landing and on other service mishaps but…
She is doing good my friend, thanks for asking.
Glad your son is coming home soon . Thank him for me. Semper Fi!
No small thing Mike. Being proud of your children.
Means a lot, we’ve got an “only” too and she’s a team player with us.
