Julie's boyfriend Ed is like a brother from another mother to me. Everything I like, he likes. And that includes history and music. He even was a deejay for a long time, just as I was. He also goes big-time heavy into collecting stuff. His downfall revolves around model trains and weapons.
We spent a lot of time together over these next few days. And, today was definitely one of those.
First, we drove to Parris Island, the home of a USMC training base that I have often heard of, but never seen. Ed used to go there often to deejay events. So, he knew his way around. Parris Island is located a short distance from where Julie lives, just over the Georgia-South Carolina border by Hilton Head and Beaufort, S.C..
Parris Island is a lot bigger that I thought it was. We had to have the vehicle checked before entering the base which was very crowded with families of recruits who had just finished training. They were having graduation tomorrow.
To say there were a lot of proud parents and family members there would be an understatement.
