[Recon Dad]

Marines, Force Recon, Sergeant. Iraq wasn't bad enough he's trying to escape Cancun as I type.

He was supposed to go to Quantico in January of 2002 after he graduated from Miami University in Ohio. They delayed his going until October. He wouldn't wait and enlisted. Now you couldn't get him there for love nor money. He likes the action.

There are a lot of folks on FReepers in the same place as you and I are in. I found one great guy who retired 3 times from the Marines and they just tried to get him back for the 4th time. Master Gunnery Sergeant who has two son's in the Corps, a Lt Col and the other a Harrier Squadron leader.

Those who serve are such amazing people. My son is 22 and he has number of friends that have been in Iraq. His best friend is Air Force and is wanting to go back. His other friend that just turned 22 was a marine sniper in Iraq. There are a lot of stories like this.....God Bless them
