well my oldest boy got the call last night to leave early for the MARINES. was not suppost to leave until after mothers day.momma isnt to happy right now, but i told her he was old enough to make his own choice.its all he has ever wanted for the last 2 yrs,but had to get through high school first. i told her we had to keep our heads held high and all our thoughts good.we know he is just starting but he is still in the same boat .:sad2:
All the best to him. Hopefully, he'll get a chance to eat in the new dining hall, I'm helping to build at Camp Lejuene.
Jason is a good kid Mike, he'll be fine. I proud of him for wanting to serve. World needs more like him.:wink: When is he pullin out?
Sounds like a fine young man. If he's been thinking about the military instead of partying he'll do good.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with him as he goes through boot camp and then off to wherever they end up sending him. Tell him thanks for his service to this country.
thanks all for all the prays and warm wishs. your right john he is a good kid and hopefully he will become a fine young man in the next few yrs.
Welcome aboard, Thank You for choosing to protect and defend the country and constitution. Keep ur head on straight and focus on the goals, Boot camp is only temporary, the real challenge is later on. Best and worst people ya ever met, frustrating and rewarding. Thank You for your patriotism. Please pass this on. Semper Fi
I admire your son`s courage and patriotism, thank him and don`t worry he`ll be fine. GOD loves America`s armed forces!!!
hope everything works out. i go to MEPS for the navy at 1 am today. they say i wont go to boot camp till july, but we'll see about that.
Good luck to him and your family I will keep you in my prayers, and pray that he stays safe and angels always watch over him
Remember your 100% healthy, nothing is wrong with you right...I had to tell them I had never even been to a hospital before haha, good luck, God bless.
Good luck to your son. write him a few letters now an then. every devil pup i ever knew got by on 3 things during boot camp. chow to chow- sunday to sunday- and mail call. is he going to P.I. or san diego. (all real marines go to P.I.-not like the hollywood crowd). one more thing, let him know the fastest way outa there is to graduate. its a pain in the... everything, but as he will soon find out, pain is weakness leaving the body.
What you got against the Hollywood crowd? Wish him luck and I'll be thinking about him. S**t going to hit the fan when he gets on them yellow foot prints. LOL Semper-fi
dont worry about it, boot camp is only the beginning. it might seem like its forever, but he will be back on boot leave in 3 months. then its off to the fleet and then the fun really begins. he will be ok. if i can make it, then anyone can. make sure you are supportive though. it will be a culture shock for him and he is going to be seriously nervous, but it will all be ok. there are good people there and they will make sure he is taken care of.
