Good to be home! And hunting on Marine Corps bases?

[ChristopherO]

My son just got sent back from the Big Hunt at Marjah.  Seems a MATV and large IED's don't play well together.  When the vehicle landed back down from a 15' jump in the air his face fought the MK19, and well, his face lost.  His nose will look a bit differnt, now.
We hope to see him in the next couple of days when he gets released from the Naval hospital in Maryland.  
His regular "camp" is LeJeune.  I will ask him if he wants a bow to go hunting with when he is back there.
Take care and shoot straight.

Semper Fi, Devildog!  DO NOT bring any weapons when you report in!  You are going to SOI and the living conditions are going to be very basic.  Wait until you report to your first command.  Then find out what your command's policy on personal weapons is.  You will not be allowed to keep a bow and arrows in your wall locker, it will have to be stored somewhere, your unit armory may not have space, so you will have to make arrangements before you get your bow.  There is great hunting on Lejeune and Quantico.  On Lejeune, you will have to pass a proficency test.  Any questions feel free to PM me.  Bill

It's an "Open Book" Test (at Lejeune) and 90% Safety and common sense. The test/authorities is/are more interested in making sure you read/know the safety rules and regs that apply, and freshening them in everyone's mind. Also it's good for three years now (used to be annual).
