Grace ---
Ditto to Bob’s advice and counsel – it’s perfect.
I’ve not met your son, but, I met his parents, and, really don’t need to know more – I’ve no doubt, while this will challenge him, he will do well. I'll also keep Isaac in my good thoughts as well.
On the light-side, I can share too - with regard to Bob’s tips on getting even, that I can almost speak from experience regarding the perfumed mail. When I was at MCRD SD, my cousin – who was married to a Marine, dumped what must have been an entire bottle of cologne on a letter she sent me. As Bob alluded, life was about to get very interesting for me to receive that letter – but, I was fortunate, my cousin used so much cologne – the smell actually permeated the entire mailbag of letters for our platoon, and, luckily, no way of telling which letter was the culprit. (Knew it was mine when I opened the letter and it was still damp.) Whew ‘dat!
FYI too --- as a Marine’s family, you'd want to know that, in two-days – on November 10th, is the Marine Corps’ Birthday, which is particularly celebrated worlwide every year. On November 10, 1775, at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, PA – the “Continental Marines” – later the U.S. Marine Corps, was formed by committee of the Continental Congress. This Thursday we’ll be a sprite 241 years-old.
