Each chapter will give you new insight into the Marine Boot Camp process from a loved one's point of view. Become an expert support person to your loved one as you follow the Adapt and Overcome Action Steps in each chapter. When a loved one joins the Marine Corps, you have many questions swimming in your head and a lot of different emotions. Not knowing what to expect, you may turn to the internet but then feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and your lack of understanding. This information, which may or may not be correct, coupled with mystifying terms like Close Order Drill and MCMAP, may leave you with even more questions. If you can relate, and your loved one is going to Boot Camp on Parris Island or has already begun the journey, then this planner is for you. Author Vera Basilone writes about the process of Marine Corps Recruit Training and answers all of the questions people have asked her over the years on her website ParrisIsland.com. Rather than focus on the recruit, as much of the information found online and in books does, this planner focuses on the loved ones, (moms, dads, boyfriends, girlfriends, grandparents), who wait for their recruits to complete training. It also provides specific activities in the form of Adapt and Overcome Action Steps throughout each chapter designed to prepare you for life with a loved one in the Marine Corps. In this book you will learn: How to prepare for your new role as a support person for your recruit. All the facts and answers to your questions about Marine Corps boot camp and the process of making Marines. How to prepare for graduation day and how to make the most of your trip to Parris Island.
