MY NEW MARINE
PVT. Erica on family day 8/6/09Yep she did it! Yes that last post was by miss PVT Erica!
I am so proud of my new United States MARINE! We are home now safe with the flight from you know where is was the worst ever, I almost thought we were not going to make it with lightening strikes and all! But finally got home LATE last night with my new Marine, she has changed a LOT!
More attitude but I say well I guess now she has earned the right for some attitude.
Only 10 days she gets even with travel time so really only a week at home then it back to North Carolina, For her MCT (military combat training) for 22 to 28 days, read conflicting reports ..lol
Then off to her MOS training which is not defiantly know until MCT. We do not know yet if there any days off between her MCT and MOS schooling
She has told me many stories and I will have to divvy them out with so much info, just wanted to give you a quick post so you know we are home safe. OOH RAH! and SEMPER FI!

Lady Leatherneck - Graduation 08-07-09
Posted By: Erica R.
Once my platoon became Marines, we rated to sing the Lady Leatherneck song, which ALL women marines have sung... and our platoon as well as our sister platoon 4022 added words to it. So we came together as a series and sung it on the way to our graduation.
1 - Here come's 4th battlion
2 - Papa Company
3 - 4023
4 - And we're finally free
1 - It's
2 - About to
3 - Go
4 - Down
1 2 3 4... United States Marine Corps... Ooh Rah! Devil Dog... Aaaaaattaccckkk!
We are women Marines, and we march with pride.
We march shoulder to shoulder and side by side.
On our left, our left... Hall-ee... Hall-oo...
On your left, your right, your left, your right... you better know.
It's your left ladies, your left foot strikes the deck.
It's your left foot ladies, your left, your right, your left.
We march to the Chow Hall, we march everywhere.
We march shoulder to shoulder to show that we care.
On our left, our left... Hall-ee... Hall-oo...
On your left, your right, your left, your right... you better know.
It's your left ladies, your left foot strikes the deck.
It's your left foot ladies, your left, your right, your left.
We came here as babies, and now we're lean and mean.
And we are leaving this Island as Women Marines.
On our left, our left... Hall-ee... Hall-oo...
On your left, your right, your left, your right... you better know.
It's your left ladies, your left foot strikes the deck.
It's your left foot ladies, your left, your right, your left.
Stop look and Listen, we are the lady leathernecks.
Mighty, mighty leathernecks.
1...

Stop look and Listen, we are the lady leathernecks.
Mighty, mighty leathernecks."

I'm Off
Darlene
Erica's next step
to MCT (Military Combat Training)
at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina for 21 days.
http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil/soi/mct2/index.shtml
From here on out all her training will include the Men
only separate barracks.
Just a little information.
I will update you about graduation soon.
Cant wait to see her,
every mom I talked to their daughter's were either shy
or all business.
I found out the pot luck is for the girls to
exchange information
before they go their separate
ways home then to training,
they will all go to MCT but
not necessarily in the same platoons there.
I will keep you posted....
