Parents: Cut weekend is coming up. You can certainly wait to be certain, but it is advisable to go ahead and make Southern California hotel reservations if you think your teen will be selected to go to Devil Pup camp at Camp Pendleton. You can always cancel or change reservations when the results are in. We recommend reservations for Friday July 21 around Oceanside, San Clemente, Carlsbad, etc. More info to come once the Cut Ceremony is complete.
Devil Pups is a non-profit organization designed to help teens 14-17 from all backgrounds gain self-confidence and learn to take responsibility for their actions. People wonder “Why the name Devil Pups?” The term “Devil Dogs” was used by German soldiers to describe Marines fighting in World War I. The Marines who organized this youth citizenship program chose the term “Devil Pups” to describe the quality of teen who can complete this program.
