    Just a couple quick things for you. You'll be going to Recruit Training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. The Recruit Depot adjoins the San Diego Airport, so it's basically downtown San Diego, although you'll never see it except from afar.

    Camp Pendleton is a little over an hour drive north from where you'll be in Recruit Training. However, you will bus up to Pendleton for the rifle range and other field training.

    Sounds like a great family you have there, you should be proud of all of them. Just remember one thing, your Dad is a former Marine. There are very few "ex" Marines, one of which is Lee Harvey Oswald.
    Yea you are right I will go to MCRD for most of boot. MCT will be at Pendleton.

    Trust an old Army guy to screw up technomological details! He will be an "Air battle Manager" in a "JSTARS". I am really puffed up now, as he was awarded a sabre today as top graduate - he heads for the FLA panhandle for training come July.

    JSTARS are crazy planes too. They're a Boeing 707 airframe like the KC-135. I've worked on them a little when I was in Qatar in 2005, which is where he'll be going as well. If I'm not mistaken, the JSTARS are stationed at Robins AFB, GA and Hanscom AFB, MASS.

    That's all I know pretty much. I wasn't allowed inside the plane. All the work I did on them was on the outside. I know that they still have the old engines, not the once that the RC-135 and KC-135R have. They do electronic warfare type stuff. But I don't know any specifics on them. They're a "secret squirrel" plane.
