How both exciting and fearful you must be. My grandson just finished 6 years (reservist) in the Marines, did 1 tour of duty in Iraq. He was also offered the officer training at Cherry Point, NC but after basic at Parris Island and combat training at Camp Lejeune, he spent 3 days at CP and said no thanks. He said it was like Parris Island all over again and he had had enough of that for a while. If your grandson can take the pressure, then it would be to his advantage to go to Officer training. Unlike basic, they have the right to back out if they want to. I'm so proud of all our Military. God bless them and where would we be without them?
