My sincere thanks to your nephew for his service. And my compliments to your kin for raising such a fine boy.

Perhaps you can help shed some light on this discussion? I know damn good and well that Marines aren't dumb. Why is their education level lower than other services?

In a small way, I certainly share your pride in your nephew, and wish him the best.

I also have a nephew (bright also) who tells me he is enlisting the Marine Corps the first day he is eligible. His father is an Annapolis grad and former Marine officer. Now between you and me, what point has been made.....?
