Brighid has an interview as part of her application with for a US Naval ROTC Scholarship - USMC Option. And part of the email was what to wear. Now she is trying to decide between a suit with pants and a suit with a skirt. I listened to her and her mom ramble for a few minutes.

And right in front of me at the Deptford Mall walks 2 Marines in uniform.

Jim “Excuse me, do you work at the Haddonfield office?”

Marine: “I work at the Woodbury office, but I have worked at the Haddonfield office. How can I help you?”

Jim “Our daughter has a question. Do you mind?”

Marine “Of course not” and turns to Brighid, although he was looking and talking at both of us. I walked away

How much more convenient can you get then to have a question and want an opinion and up walks a USMC recruiter.

Brighid did not get his card, but the office is located at 9 S Broad St Woodbury, NJ 08096 and the phone number for USMC Recruting is
(856) 845-1240. I know the office very well. It is right there in the middle of downtown, across from the courthouse and next to all of the crossroads and bustops.
