       High school graduation is just around the corner and Thursday night those seniors who joined the marines got a taste of what life will be like in boot camp.  The Marine Corp invited local recruits and their families to a dinner at the Reserve Center, but the night wasn't all about food and fun.  Three drill sergeants were on hand to demonstrate what it will be like to be a marine in training.   Most of the young men and women at the meeting are leaving for boot camp in June and July, just after graduation.
