I would suggest waiting until he's completed his basic training because anything that you give him now he cannot take with him and if he did it would only be returned home. In basic all you have is what the Corps issues you. He'll still be doing advanced after basic. However after basic you might consider giving him a K-Bar Knife. They're supposed to be issued to all Marines.. I don't know if it's still the case but there always seemed to be a shortage of these and probably still is today. You might also consider this: If you have his measurements, give him his dress-blues. Only the top man in each platoon is issued dress-blues. I hope that your friend makes the coveted spot but if not, he'll surely appreciate having his own set of dress-blues. Even if you don't have his measurements you can still give him is dress-blues by way of a gift check that he can use to get them himself. The cost can be offset by have several other friends chip in.Either way I'm sure he'd a proud Marine made prouder by his friend! Best Wishes to You, your Friend and Future Marine.
