He really left!!

[Dale Marshall]

I knew he had enlisted but the day of departure still seemed to sneak up on me.. My son Dale is a member of Cardinal Company and they all reported to Great Lakes on 8/7/08 aroound 2300. We finally got our first letter yesterday and he said bootcamp is kicking his butt. But then again he has only been there a week or so. He never did go out and run like I told him too, he is such a typical teenager(Boy). He found out he had partial color blindness and was disqualified from the Nuke Program. He is going to be a CTI which does not have color perception requirement. His graduation date is 10/3/08, and I hope to hear from anyone going throught the same things.Dale Sr.
