PFC Fannin

My son participates in the Young Marines. Earlier this year he went through a week of Boot Camp and came out as a Private. Yesterday he did his first test and passed with flying colors. He was promoted to PFC(Private First Class) and got his first chevron. He was bouncing off the wall when I went to pick him up at Camp Mabry at the end of the day. He wore his cover with its chevron for the rest of the night so that everyone could see. It’s interesting that now there are recruits 4, 5, and even 6 years older than him and he is their superior.

i am also in the young marines. im in the cincinnati unit. i have been in the young marines for 1 yr now. that is amazing how that pfc did it. i made sgt about 2 or 3 months ago. i served the time i had to as each rank. im only 12yrs old and one of the only females. the average age in my unit is about 15 or 16. we only have 4 sgt., 3 ssgt., and 1 gysgt. but soon we are going to loose that gunny. i would like for your son to to serve each rank for 3 or 4 months and soon we would be a sgt.
