Alex is a very special young man. He joined the Marines straight out of high school, he actually left just 2 weeks after graduation. So as all the other graduates were off partying and having a good time before leaving for college, Alex was at boot camp at Parris Island, Sc. He just recently graduated boot camp on Sept. 4, 2009. He is now on his way to school of infantry.
