First off Slow, thank your son for us. Our Marines are so awesome, and your family for the sacrifices they've made with a son serving his country. Secondly, I wouldn't be much help because I don't know any of those areas. But, I have little doubt someone on this forum will jump up to help. Good luck! 
He is the first in our family to serve, Did it all on his own. Picked the Marines after doing his own interviews of all the branches. He said and says it's where The real Warriors are. (No disrespect to any of the other branches)
It has been hard on His Mom to say the least. I don't worry about Him much because I feel confident I did a good job molding who He is. Smart, strong, tough, and won't take any *censored*.
No question the proudest moment in My entire life to this point was His graduation day at the Marine Corp training facility. I could not hold back the tears. From a little Jerk of a kid to a respectful man. Unbelievable the change they did on Him. I honestly think every kid of age should have to serve. It is quite an experience.
The Stories He has told me about the marines are truly crazy. If any of You have ever had a glimps behind the curtain You know what I am talking about.
Now We are off to fill that darn Tag. We leave tonight wish us luck!
