Good job!
Thanks Colonel. And special thanks to you Clint. Be safe.
That's almost us exactly. He makes it sound like not a big deal, pretty cushy job but I emphasized to him that there really is no cushy job when your issued a rifle and a pistol. Even like embassy duty etc, usually the people hate us and everything we represent so he can't let his guard down.
His mom is relieved he's getting the Marine Security job maybe. She wasn't so relieved when I told her he's going to the same places, wearing more formal uniform, probably in lesser numbers. He gets hazard pay full time, adds time to his enlistment, the list goes on and on.
He'll be fine, I know he will but we're still probably more skeered than he is.
Hopefully he'll get embassy duty in a nice local. Not sure if he has to "work his way up" to get some sand between his toes in a nice location.
Darn if you didn't go and raise a man Bawanna...well done to you both and thanks for the update.
Semepr Fi,
Greg
A chip off the old block. If he's half as good as his "Old Man" he'll do just fine. Old Muggsy is pullin' for him.
Colonel, you must be one proud Papa. Congratulations on raising such a fine son. May God watch over him and protect him while he is in Iraq, and any other dangerous places he may travel too.
Congratulations to you all... parents and son. You've raised a fine young man and the Marines will certainly add to that as well. I hope he has a long(if he chooses!) and successful career and makes all of you even prouder! Semper Fi!
