My son is in Boot Camp - Joined the Marines - finally got a pic of him - bless his heart for joining his Brothers & Sisters in Military - God Bless them all who served and serving

I wish him the best of luck. You must be proud. Thats a great shot of him on the tower. thanks for the post.

 

[GraceInHim]

Thank you so much and God Bless You

He is graduating 12/2 - he said he loves it - I am so proud no matter what he does in life - he could of went to college - but chose the Marine Corps - sometimes I cry when I remember what he said - "Mom I want to help out those guys at war, why should I not, Dad did.." it is hard to let him decide - but those words will always stay close to me - no matter what - every son and Daughter who join to defend us here - I will ever be greatful for thier sacrifices and to all those who gave it to me before - seems we forget and take things as they come - God Bless them all before -present and after

I am so glad he is doing well. Tell him we said welcome to the USMC

Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the Corps. I can point you to some great family resources. God Bless him and thank him for us for his choices.

he at Parris Island, SC - loving it - thank God I prayed so many times to keep him strong - watched on TV on it - seemed hard - but he loves it and wants to serve our Country rather then college.

My brother is heading to bootcamp tomorrow. I'm scared for him but I pray every night for his safety. Please pray for his safety and that his Christian walk grows stronger. That he overcomes all of the temptations that will be thrown at him. He's 19 years old.

He will be fine - he will love it - I will pray for him and ask God to keep him strong through it - there will be times of struggle - but he will prevail - God bless him for joining his brothers in arm and he will have so many new friends and they will be just like brothers to him - semper fi

When I re-enlisted, the Army sent me there in Dec 1983 for MOS school - 62E - heavy junk operator. we called it the same - Fort Lost in the Woods, Misery (Missouri). How did you like running the "RollerCoaster" over by the ranges? thats what we called that section of road during the PT runs.

It was wonderful considering it barely got above zero degrees the majority of time I was there, so on PT runs our sweat and snot would freeze If you've never experienced that feeling, it's something else. I mean, I'm from SoCal so that was CRAZY for me! "RollerCoaster" is a very fitting name for it, though! We used to do Indian Relays up those hills...fun
