No I am not in the sandbox yet, suppose to in Dec., but I have been as you can tell by my avatar. I will let you guys know when I deploy.
Also there are no ex-marines, Once a Marine, Always a Marine. And I appreciate you and your brother paving the way for myself and all the current Marines.
No I was trained where it counts (not knocking San Diego) Parris Island and I am stationed 10 miles from it again (first from 03-05, and now I got here on Oct. 1st).
