Make-A-Wish kid spends day as a Marine standing in line at the armory


TWENTYNINE PALMS, California — When eight year-old Conrad Greeley found out his leukemia was terminal, his family immediately contacted the Make-A-Wish foundation since he always wanted to spend a day living out his childhood dream of joining the Marine Corps.

Luckily, Make-A-Wish came through, and on Tuesday, Conrad met up with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment's Easy Company at 0400 outside the armory. The company was drawing weapons to verify serial numbers for the third time that week.

As per his family’s request, the Marines treated Conrad just like any other Junior Enlisted Warrior, with Cpl. Sean Casey assigned as his team leader for the day. He took the boy under his wing immediately, officials said.

"I tried to teach him how to spin up a CASEVAC 9-line but he couldn't figure it out," Casey said. "At least his hair is in regs.”

At 0630, the armory gates opened and Marines flooded in. As the smallest and newest boot, Conrad dutifully assumed his place at the back of the line. At 1100, just as he was getting close to the window, the armorers cut for chow.

When they came back at 1300, Conrad was informed they couldn’t issue him a rifle because Gunny hadn’t signed his weapons cards. After standing by aimlessly until 1700 for his team leader to tell him what to do, it was time for Conrad to head home.

Conrad walked away from his short time in the Marine Corps with a new perspective on life.

“Today made me feel a lot better. I used to be sad I would never get to grow up and be a Marine. Now I’d rather just die.”

That bunk…is that what they have now? What about open squadbays? Do they still have those? Are there any surviving Quonset huts?

She's sold separately, along with the 2006 Camero.

She's sold separately, along with the 2006 Camero.

When you buy the dependa figurine, she is 115lbs…. Within 3 months, she is 186 and missing a tooth.
The 2006 Camero is a V6, with 4 bald tires, a stain on the seat from where a dip spitter was spilled, and a 24% APR…

Those bunks with open squad bays are still pretty normal for the USMC at training venues. Quonset huts are still around.

Garrison is dorm style living.

Don't know about the other branches.

And works at the strip joint just outside of base. Kind of like my cousin's first wife when he was in the Navy.

Took me a while to realize this was a joke; I call it Oceanside 2000-2004.

True story. I had to spend about four hours explaining why marrying the stripper who bit your ear off for calling her a whore was a bad idea. They got married about three months after he had his ear sewn back on.

Ordered, with instructions given to the company clerk to have it set up on the First Sgt's desk by friday morning in time for him to conduct a field day inspection....

That way me and the boys can do something useful with our time....

I had a GI Joe footlocker from back in the late 60s. The items in that footlocker are vastly different from those in the play set in the OP. Different times and values.

Dependapotamus

That's one hell of a word.

Younger version of a Tricareatops. (Tricare is DoD healthcare)

Any chance of having a couple of GoPro’s inconspicuously set up to catch the reaction? 😄

Remember Hill Street or was that before your time?

I don’t. Only time I really spent in Oceanside was surfing by the marina and eating at either Dennys (between 1-3 am) or Las Colimas (I could stretch a homewrecker burrito to make 3 meals!). The rest of my time was spent in Pacific Beach, La Jolla, the Gaslamp district, or the Olive Garden by UCSD when I was off-base. Seems kinda sad to be able to sum up a couple of years in a couple of sentences 🤣

Anybody get up to Pizza Port in San Clemente?
