Off to see a Fresh Boot

Greetings, A dear friend of mine is graduating this late december from MCRD and has asked me to attend his graduation. I currently do not hold a job while I'm attending college and struggle to pay back a loan at the moment so I'm not in the position to travel.

Being able to communicate directly after 3 long months. (no electronics allowed,Can only communicate through letters) would mean the whole world to me. I know that after the following 10 days, I won't see him again for months since it'll be my turn to ship out for bootcamp. He originally wanted to travel to the Philippines with me following his graduation but, I who is financially unstable won't be taking that trip. The very least I can do is attend his graduation. The money funded will be used to purchase flight tickets and nights spent at a motel. Thank you for your time
