From Ike,
Not sure what everyone has for info but wanted to post a summary about Lee and his entry into the United States Marine Corps.
Lee left Bangor on Sunday June 22 for his journey to Parris Island and Boot Camp in the US Marines.
As usual the first few weeks are pretty much void of communication while they go about their business.
Today I received my first letter from Lee (good ol' fashion written 3 pages on good ol' fashion stationary..remember those days?) and it sounds like he is settling in and adjusting to the grind that the first few weeks at Boot camp brings. Tough adjustment but tough kid, that Lee.
Anyway, he would love lots of letters from folks and he promises to try to respond as much as possible although the training has a lock on much of his time.
Lee's date of graduation is set for September 19 but as with everything military, that can change.
Here is address.
Rct. Morgan, Lee 2423
Plt 1069 Alpha Co.
1st RTBN Box 11069
Parris Island, South Carolina 29905-1069
Thanks for keeping us updated Ike. Best of luck to Lee but seeing as he looked like a Chuck Norris protege in his last pictures perhaps we should be wishing the other guys some luck!
