What would you have done?
Just want to share an experience my son and I had while at the mall on 12/27/11 while he was home on leave. We were walking around the mall, and we saw someone walking around in his cammies, we both assumed he was Army, as they do that...when I got closer, I noticed his name tape said US Marines...I nudged my son for him to look.....I have never seen him so mad...He went up to him and baiscally handed him his a$$ and asked what the He** he was doing wearing these around the mall? I couldnt hear everything, but he baically scared this guy to death. Evidently he is not a Marine, but leaving for Boot in a few months, and wanted to take his senior pic in US Marine Cammies. My son told him to get out of the mall while wearing this, take the da** sunglasses off ( he was wearing them backwards) and get a haircut. My son was not wearing anything Marine related, but the guy called him "Sir" at least three times. I don't think this guy ever expected to run into an actaul Marine while at the mall. It took him forever to calm down after this. he said he "obviously has no idea what it means to wear the uniform".

your right, he had absolutely no tolerence....he almost followed him out to make sure he left.. My son left for boot right after graduation, and he didn't want a graduation photo..He said the only graduation picture he wants is the one of him graduating from the Marines....

Your son is destined to be a leader. All I can say to the Marines who will be in his squad is..."stand by"!
I would shake your son's hand if I could and would appreciate you telling him that.

I would have done the same thing, if not worse. Good for your son. That is one reason why we are different, because we correct our own and/or expose posers who claim to be. Most service-members from other branches won't go out of their way to make a correction on the spot like that. Marines do.

I totally agree, that is defnitely what sets the Marines apart. When I picked him up at the airport, we saw so many army guys wearing their cammies, and sunglasses, talking on a cell while walking, chewing gum, drinking while walking...he said it made him sick to his stomach. I knew he did the right thing!
