Yup...
Dad did 4 tours in 'Nam...When I got deployed to DS, I dunno waht I really thought, except that he'd be proud I'd somewhat followed in his steps...

Of course, he still shakes his head wondering where he went wrong raising a "jarheaded Marine"

His DD214 gave me much food for thought, and made me realize, I'd never be able to follow his steps completely...but it never stopped me from trying ;)

lol well I think it's enough to just know the legacy is there. It's impossible to every really live up to or surpass these people. Keeping the service line unbroken is all that matters.

Jarhead :doh:- and not even flying. What were you thinking?!

My daughter followed me...she's a Marine in Iraq...

Dad's stopped shakin' his head at this point...the rivalry is alive and well during holiday dinners :D

hahaha uh oh - He's outnumbered but as you are familiar with our technology you know he's not outgunned.

With my luck my (theoretical) son will want nothing more than to join the marines. As long as he at least roots for AF during the games then I'd be okay with it, now if he didn't cheer for them then - and I'm not kidding - I think I'd kill him.

What does your daughter do in Iraq?

Her MOS is "technically" supply...but with the shortage of WM's in security...she's standin' at the gates inspecting female iraqis...

Basically...right now she's sniper bait...

Ah, that's really difficult. I'm sorry she's bearing the stretch.

Heh.. That was the entirety of my job and still is, sniper bait.. Defend the gate, do convoy duty, patrol the flight line and perimeter. Who says the AF never does anything dangerous? :cool:

Feel free to say it, at this point I'm desensitized to Marine Corps bravado. :thumbsup:
