Observing it from the perspective of a parent who did his best to raise the sons right before they hit USMC boot camp, I have to say I am amazed at what they do there. Seems to me that they kept the best their mom and I had done, but then added on a whole new magnitude of it all.

I have one Marine son and I couldn't agree with you more. My son started off an execptional person and the Marines only reinforced the fine qualities he already possessed and gave him a few more.
