“(I’m praying for some good news. I ship off to Marine Boot Camp in Feb.”

We are ALL praying for good news! Are you going to Pendleton? My son graduated this past January from Camp Pendleton. He drives/maintains amphibious assault vehicles. When they were filming Transformers 2 recently, they did a segment where they went to the Marine Base and filmed amphibious assault vehicles being driven. If they don’t cut that section out, that will be my Marine driving it!

My other son is graduating from Ft Leonard Wood (Army)the beginning of December. His MOS is Combat Engineer. He gets to blow up things. One boy drives over things and the other one blows things up. LOL!

Anyway, know that we FReepers will be praying for you and yours. We also pray for our troops on a continuous basis. Know that we respect your decision and are proud of you.

Respectfully,
Renée

Thanks you for your kind words. Yes, it will be Pendleton. The MOS I chose is Security Forces. I have been considering the Reserves so I can to College(which would mean ship out date gets set back to the summer) Been running into so much resistance from the family. Not a single member of my family has served in the Military(except my grandfathers in WW2, for GREECE!) They have the view of “sure, lets have a military as long as we have nothing to do with it.” Your sons are lucky to have such support from their family :)
