Welcome home Racer and family, including your son, a United States Marine!We just got home with our shiny new Marine! An awesome experience. But 3 long days around Parris Island... holy moly! We did it all!
We got to meet his drill instructors at a special dinner. That was very cool. And after the graduation, I followed my son around on his "goodbye tour" with his mates... It was very heartening to see the genuine respect and admiration they had for our son.
I suspect Racer may not want to post a picture of his USMC son and future Intelligence MOS Marine at that on social media. If it were my family member, I wouldn't either.Intelligence MIGHT be safer... That just means, if he is sent downrange, he will be one of the guys, the government downplays as a training accident, if they even claim him at all if he falls behind lines.
Congrats though...... Enough talk... Post up a pic of the new Marine!
We've done it on another forum I moderate/admin for with not a lot of response.My previous post, and Michelle agreeing made me think and realize.... I wonder how a pic thread would go over on here... Not necessarily me, but it does make it even easier/more comfortable talking to someone when you can put a face to name. Even if it is social media..
That was an indirect/side view that didn't show his face clearly and I agree with you about not showing my current likeness anywhere (e.g., I didn't participate in that thread on the forum I moderate/admin for either).He already post a photo of the young man on here signing up. Not a big deal IMO.
As to posting a photo of myself…. That’d be me at around 6 yrs old. Not showing my current face anywhere. I keep a low profile on line. Google may have 1 or 2 files but they are not easy to locate unless someone knows specifics about me.
Believe me... I understand. I served in a support role, not a "combat" role... yet I was on a combat ship. If a missile hit the ship, it would not distinguish between combat roles vs support roles. I was IN theater. Therefore at risk.Intelligence MIGHT be safer... That just means, if he is sent downrange, he will be one of the guys, the government downplays as a training accident, if they even claim him at all if he falls behind lines.
Congrats though...... Enough talk... Post up a pic of the new Marine!
True dat!As for a photo... as much as I would LOVE to do that - I'm quite proud and really would... probably not a good idea.
You'll just have to trust me on this... He could be a model for a USMC recruiting poster! He makes that uniform look good!
