This is two great kids I'm very proud of.. My little girl and her boy friend.. They are in ROTC together.. He wants to go in the marines.. And she wants to go with stay with him.. I am very proud of them both, And love them very much..

Joe started out in ROTC and believe or not his ROTC Captain told him he wouldn't make a good military person. I've told Joe he needs to show up at school in his Dress Blues just to say hello to him, just to let that asshole see what a good MARINE he has became.

Tell your daughter & boy friend if they decide to go into the Marines be prepared for the hardest thing they have ever done in their lives & good luck to both of them for stepping up to do something that takes BIGG BALLS to do along w/a lot of guts...joe

Outstanding, Joe. That brings back fond memories of my time on the "Rock" although no "Blues". Your son is a fine example of what a squared away Marine sergeant should look like.

I agree totally on the "squared away" part. I was there also about 1960.
You should be proud.

I went over that with both of them.. They are gone for sure.. It's the same with them in ROTC with their Captain.. My little girl is a very strong will person.. She wants to try anything that someone say's she can't do.. I think she would out last me in the marines.. She is very tuff.. And as far as her boy friend.. He's one he** of a man already for being able to put up with her.. My hat's off to him.. And I think he would be a he** of a marine.. He already has the heart of a marine..
