Let me ping for you. I've done it on another thread today for FreedomsWorthIt. Some may have already seen the thread because of your link at the Canteen.

I've had this happen to me several times...Mom's worried because her son's far away and hasn't written or called...it's an easy fix...I just tell his NCO that the Marine will write his momma every week, or the Marine and his NCO will be digging machinegun pits and burning sh!%%ers till I get tired...

What a great chuckle!!! I can assure you this was one "mission" that the Commander and First Sargeant enjoyed doing!!!

I'm sure this soldier will NEVER forget his Momma that way again!!! (he deserved the embarrassment!!) Good grief.. your away during a war and don't write MOM!!! He was probably enjoying his RR,.. but ya have to let Mom know your ok. Its inhumane to do otherwise. Poor Mom!!! She must have been worried sick.

I'm still laughing that she " 'spammed' the whole Marine Corps headquarters by accident with the query about her son John Leger's wellbeing."

ROFL!!! Thats one young man who won't EVER forget his Mom again!!
