My son wants to be a Marine

[Mom Linda]

I am new to this forum. My son is 21 and recently told me of his plans to become a Marine. He had shoulder surgery 2 yrs ago and everything is ok but he is waiting to find out if he is eligible to begin this process and take his ASVAB. I was nervous when he first told, but as a mom I want to embrace his dream.

Welcome Linda this is a good place to start. You will find answers to most of your questions here. And if no one here has an answer they can steer you in the right direction. You should also check the Marine Family Network site; http://marinefamilynetwork.com/. There is a lot you can learn by just navigating around. I wish you and your son the best.

He might not be able to with his surgery but we wait and see what the DRs At MEPS say. He doesn't have any other medical problems does he. GOOD LUCK TO HIM
