Thank you for visiting our pages. Click here to add an entry into the Blackstone Valley Young Marines' guestbook.
Since I joined the Young Marines I have had a lot more self-discipline I thank CO Ferris for this, I will also be attending the National Encampment.

How's it going Blackstone Valley? I miss you guys and wish I could still be there for your drills and your unit events, I am currently at the Military Police School in MO. It's not bad but some of the best times I have had been with the Young Marines. Stay motivated and stay on the right course and good things will come to you. It would be nice hearing from you fellow Young Marines again, feel free to write me. Semper Fi

Hi Young Marine's - I really miss you a ton and I want to talk to you real badly. I've only really seen very few of you guys ever since I left i talked to a couple and saw Ferris @ McD'z that's not too much but I think ever since YM's I have changed the way I look at life...if I could do it again I would! Hopefully I'll see you guys when I go into the military and maybe you'll be pushing me around again someday...or vice-versa! I will come visit if the officers let me hopefully!

Hey Young Marines I just wanted to say good luck to all of you. I think about you a lot and I want to tell that you can do anything you put your mind to. Never give up no matter what. If you believe in yourself anything is possible - keep your head up and drive on. Keep up the good work. OHHH-RAHHH - SEMPER FI...carry on...(for you Childers!!!)

PFC Cote      20 November 2004


It has been a privilege to have been your Commander. The progress that each of you have made in this program is reflective of the hard work and dedication that you have learned it takes to be successful.

Bear in mind always, that the important thing is not what happens to you in life…it’s how you handle it - through it all, you will build character.

It will not surprise me when I read and hear about the great things that many of you will accomplish in the years to come. Semper Fi!!!

CO Ryner      1 November 2004

Hello Young Marines - once again you outshined all other units at the Regimental Encampment, way to go it really goes to show what teamwork can do when you all come together and you all kept your bearing as well at the Encampment.

LCPL Perry      18 November 2003


Hey.. I wrote this poem and thought you might want to read it:
Swallow my pride - keep it so no one can see, you keep pushing and pushing me - making me scream!
You're blinding me...You swallowed me whole! Life is bleeding with a broken soul.
I'm the dust in the wind, just blow me away...if you want me, I might say I'll stay!
Capture my heart, and captivate my mind...Kiss me once, and freeze the time!!!
