When your cousin is a Marine...

...it is only natural that you might enjoy playing "Marines" from time to time.  I mean, what could be better than setting up a command post and securing the area.

Of course, it doesn't help if your Mom makes any sort of "awwww" comment - remarking on how cute it is that you are using your old space tent as your big, tough Marine base.

Jackson at the command post.

There they go... off to patrol the perimeter.

 I feel safer already!
