    Question for all you Marines....

    My nephew just graduated from OCS and is getting ready to enter his last year of college. I want to get him something for a graduation gift and I want it to be something nice.

    This is what I was thinking, having his college logo on the one side and USMC logo on the other side.

    USMC Bulldog Desk Nameplate - Master Plaques

    However I'm up for any other suggestions. What's the best gift you've had?

    How much money are you wanting to spend? That'd be the big deciding factor right there. Plenty of items at Once a Marine Always a Marine - Welcome to Sgt Grit Marine Corps Specialties and Welcome to The Marine Shop! although that plaque is pretty effing sweet! :D
    Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

    Let no man's ghost say my training failed him.

    I wanted to keep it around $100 as we may get him some other stuff.

    I still can't believe he's old enough to graduate from college. I've known the kid since he was in elementary school and now he's a Marine. I feel old.

    Cincy, that's a hell of an idea. I may just do that for the entertainment value alone.

    Seriously...many congratulations to your nephew. Being a United States Marine Corps Officer is a great accomplishment. What warfare designation/specialty is he interested in?

    I fly with quite a few former Marines here at Delta Air Lines...many of whom graduated from OCS. I'll inquire regarding a gift idea for your nephew.

    Last I heard he said recon or infantry. It's my wife's nephew so I hear more about him through my wife talking to her sister.

    Sounds good.

    Also, regarding the gift for your wife's nephew...just about every former USMC Aviator that I have flown with at Delta Air Lines wears a USMC Eagle, Globe & Anchor tie clasp with the Delta pilot uniform/tie. I saw the same thing with the Cincinnati Police...just about every USMC Veteran wore the same USMC Eagle, Globe & Anchor tie clasp with the CPD unifrom/tie. It may be a USMC issued device...I don't know. Even if it is issued, a nice gold filled version of it might be nice...solid gold if you're feeling generous. Just a thought. The tie clasp I'm referencing has a plain gold cross bar with an oval USMC Eagle, Globe & Anchor device attached to it. I googled the tie clasp device but couldn't find any good pictures of it.

    That tie clasp is a required uniform item.

    Check this out...a USMC bowling ball...

    Viz-A-Ball Marines Bowling Balls $79.99 FREE SHIPPING Product ID: 3905 at bowlingball.com

    That would be a pretty cool gift...if the nephew is a bowler...and if he's not, he needs to start bowling...PRONTO.

    Good catch!

    I did not notice the CH-53E Super Stallion on the back.

    That USMC bowling ball ROCKS!

    The Marine Officer's Guide written by Kenneth W. Estes makes for an excellent gift and resource for a newly commissioned Marine Officer...and the Navy coffee mug.
    "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" -- Ronald Reagan
