I am the proud father of a United States Marine. Some folks said that we should not serve under a certain CINC. I beg to differ.


My Marine's moto run the morning of graduation from recruit training

I agree, Don-o - we'd be abandoning our Beloved Corps to the Leftists and undermining the Nation's security.

My grandson is a US Marine! His specialty is intelligence. The Marine's have him tucked away in several schools most of the time. He's gotten 2 promotions very quickly, so he must be doing something right. Praise God and God bless our brave troops. Semper Fi!

Ben is Reserve. Had one deployment to Iraq. He will commission upon graduation in December, then six months at Quantico, then flight school. That's the plan. Like I said, proud papa.

Michael has gone career.
He's done his time in the hot zones and now has patches and stuff to prove he's a bad-ass while he swaggers around the shop in Colorado.
I can't argue much with that.

Not sure what Ben will do - flight contract is pretty lengthy. He could get twenty years in and just be a bit past 40.

Hell yes. I could point to a thousand worse career choices, tell you what.
