You Sir have done way more than many other Americans can ever dream about doing for this Country. You have raised a fine young man with lots of balls to join the Armed Forces and before you know it, you will be one of the few father's of a U.S MARINE. I salute you Sir on a job well done.

Your son will never regret this decision. For an awesome experience, attend his boot camp graduation. There's a lot of family support here: http://www.grunt.com/
Tell your son thank you for his service and best wishes to you and your family.

I know exactly how you feel. My son's birthday is tomorrow, and he's spending it in Iraq. It's very strange. He's been gone almost a year, and only has 12 days to go...
Anyway, my thoughts and prayers will be with your son and your family. Pride and nervousness can coexist. Remember to tell him you love him every chance you get. |

Write him every day! And DEMAND that his friends do the same!
The worst part of boot camp for me was mail call - watching my DI's hand out 3 or 4 letters to individual recruits each day always made a knot bulge in my throat when I'd get nothing -- never thought to tell my parents or friends that they should do it. It'll be the high point of his day, no matter what you say in the letter. That's the most you can do for him, and while it may seem negligible, it is the only think he wants each day. Give him a big hug and a hearty pat on the back from me - 77 days goes by real quick and nothing will make him more proud than earning that exceptional honor of wearing an EGA. It is for life, and it is something no one can ever take from him. |
