Sweet!

Thanks for sharing!

Army? In San Diego? How did you let that happen?... everybody around here is Navy, Marines, and a few black sheep Coast Guard, but they mostly stick to themselves.

That's great! God bless your son and your family. It's a brave thing to enlist in the military, especially like you said with alot of unrest in the world....I know he will make his family and his country proud!

for me! And by the way,

for raising him to be such a selfless, upstanding, proud American!!!

some recent events would have some say otherwise...

make sure you take his bootcamp, or basic training whatever they call it now, pic and embarrass him by making a huge sign and hang it on a lamp post on a main street like my family did.

so now when i go home myself and everyone else sees this...

Thank you for your service! Its all in good spirits

....Participated and trained with USMC 2nd ANGLICO in the 80's....some of the best warriors, ever! SF & Recon get all the glory, but ANGLICO were some of the best trained Marines. Sure glad they were reactivated!

Had to laugh at the lamp post reference. My son said if I sent his picture to the city to hang on a light post he would never forgive me.

I couldn't join the USMC out of high school due to medical reasons. A couple years ago I talked to a recruiter about it again and they wouldn't accept me because of age even though I was 2 years under the recruit cap. I guess they vary criteria based on recruit statistics or something. Now I'm overage.
