Thanks for the replies. I bought a display case at a craft store meant to display a football helmet. I am adding some caulk to weatherproof it, then will put the cover in it on display at the bench...

My son is in Afghanistan. We continued a tradition that my sister in law started when my nephew was in Iraq. We have a bench outside on the corner of my yard and made something like a shrine to my...

Ok. I get it. Was hoping for something like a day in the life of....

guess I'll have to wait 7-8 months to get the scoop.

My son is an 0340 with the 1-9 and is heading to Camp Dwyer in Afghanstan. Anybody have recent info about what is going on in and around that base? Just trying to get an understanding about what...

My son is in the 1-9 and was literally in the same place doing the same thing only the day before. Although I was 99% sure he had left for Bridgeport on Sunday, I was still worried and profoundly...

I agree. The op's son, like mine was probably still their dependent for more than half of 2012 prior to leaving for boot camp. As such, the parent can still claim the Marine for one last time. In...

Phone calls? 99% of our communication with our son is by text message. They should have also mailed out paper W2's but who knows what address they would have used. My son graduated ITB on Jan 25....

I just got my son's on Friday. We had to go online to mypay. Once we logged in we could click on his W2. He had to give us his logon name and password so we could print it out for the accountant.

My son at first cherished each letter he got. Towards the end, he said if the letter were too long he did not even bother to read them. Based on this, I would suggest not to write a novel each...

Thanks for your suggestions. My son called USAA today and got it taken care of. He was very impressed with how helpful they were in getting his insurance started. He said he is seriously...

Ok thanks. I let him know and he'll call when he gets out of the field.

I need to boot my son off from my car insurance policy because his Jeep will be on base in Camp Lejeune. My policy won't cover it unless it is in NJ or PA. Can anyone recommend a company he should go...

Purely a financial decision. Whichever route results in the lowest taxes paid will be what we do. If I get a bigger benefit by claiming him that's what I'll do. Will help pay for the Glock I bought...

OK, I'll have the accountant figure out which way has the biggest cost benefit.

I looked today at my profile and added a couple of things. I don't understand what more people could possible want to know about me?

I posted the question on this forum because this is a forum...

I am in contact with my accountant on this question. He replied today via email that I can claim him, but he did not go into detail. I expect it may have something to do with the fact that his...

My son left for boot camp on July 15th and graduated in October. Last week he graduated from ITB and became stationed at Camp Lejeune. Anybody know tax implications? My assumption is that I can...

Lesson I learned when my son graduated from Parris Island in October. Show up the day before family day. You will know your son's platoon. They will be practicing for the graduation. Hang out...

Suppose my son will be going to Afghanistan in the fall as a mortarman with a weapons company. He says he probably won't even leave the base. I say he is only telling us that so we won't worry....

My son confirmed that his orders are for 1 - 9. He has heard they will be going to afghanistan around August. Can anyone let me know what to expect. One question I have is do the units simply...

Yes, I really want to find out. Other things are on hold until we figure out where he will be such as what are we doing with his vehicle. From some amount of research I have determined (hopefully...

My son is finishing up training at Camp Geiger for 0341. He just told me his duty station is MCC V19. Can anyone help me try to find out what that actually means? I have no luck searching for this...

OK, thanks for the information. At what point would he be able to complete the Drivers Improvement Course? I'll have to ask about the insurance. My plan is New Jersey Manufacturer's insurance...

My son will be graduating from ITB east on Jan 25th. If he gets stationed at Camp Lejeune, I thought it would be a good idea to bring his Jeep down there. After he graduates and gets settled into...

My son at Geiger for ITB. He is becoming a Mortarman. Due to his schedule, we had the priviledge of him coming home for Thanksgiving. He will also be able to come home for Christmas. The drive...
