Exactly! I am a mom of a new Marine. He just got out of boot camp. Tuesday, he reports to his recruiter’s for 21 days of Recruiter’s Assistance Duty. Then to Pendleton for School of Infantry. After that, more school for amphibious assault. I know that my son is a man. But if I were there, I feel sorry for any insurgent that crossed his path, or any other one of our “boys.” I don’t think that their Mama’s taught them manners. Maybe American Mamas need to do so. LOL
My girlfriend’s son was a Marine...now in the Army. He was in Iraq in May 2003...he made it back home the following Christmas in one piece, but a lot of his friends didn’t. Some nightmares for a while....the whole 9 yards. Hopefully things over there will settle down quickly as W’s plan for that part of the WOT is working.
You are on a winning track with that son of yours!
Most companies love to hire Marines after thier EAOS!
They make outstanding leaders!
I’m glad to see your pride showing, you’ve earned it!
