I am pretty certain the Marines will provide a weapon or two. My nephew had his knives confiscated by the army when he showed up for basic. That was 4 years ago, he's never seen them since.

I wish your son safe travels while he is in the Marines.

No, he cannot bring any weapons with him, no souvenirs, no gifts from Dad,,,,

If he is found with a knife on him, as he enters the Depot, there will be a problem & highly unlikely they will return the knife.

He just brings his shirt, pants, underwear, shoes & identification,,, all which will be taken from him, bagged & returned when he leaves the Depot.
