Dad's Room
New Dad, Long-time Dad, Uncle, older Brother, or male legal gaurdian of a Marine? Then, this is the place.
From Poolee to Deployment, from BBQ-ing to Sports, this is the place.
I'll get the ball rolling with my introduction. New member, long-time message board user. My son graduated boot a little over a year ago. Currently on his first deployment. And I've been dropping rubber nickles ever since he left.
Glad I found this site. Any topic, any subject, within moderator limits, of course.

Welcome aboard Bill, always nice to have another Dad around. Please know that there are many prayers going up for the 2/7! Been a rough deployment for the guys for sure but they are kickin A$$ and Takin names!

Welcome aboard Dad! Many of our members are with 2/7 and those that volunteered as combat replacements for 2/7. You are among family here.

Thank you for the warm welcome(s). Glad to meet you. I've been looking around, and was really glad to see a parent's forum here. To clarify my handle, I'm a papa of a Marine, not the other way around. I see that Jim and Troutzilla are former Marines, and my hat is off to you in salute. I reckon that DevsDad and ScottsMom are in the same boat I'm in. Although, I did do 13 years in the Air Force, but it is a whole completely different story with a Marine son/daughter.

Welcome Aboard! This year we've had many Moms and Dads of Marines step up. Good to see another!

Thank you, all. Yes, the 2/7th have had a very tough road, in very austere conditions. They, and the 24th MEU & 1/6th, have performed their mission with the upmost professionalism and dedication. This is my son's first trip to 'the party,' but from what I gather, it has been the toughest for the 2/7th in a very long time.
I appreciate your prayers, and will repay in kind.
God Bless The Corps!

I got an e-mail the other day. Son says he wants us to bring him some 'civies.' Says his stuff will be locked up when he gets back. I understand the reason for this, but will he be allowed to go to his barracks room after homecoming? (1st time deployed Dad)

Can't tell you for sure, but our Marines always came back to open rooms. We worked out different systems but the final result was when your Marine is released to you on that blessed day, he will be yours. They should account for the gear, exchange numbers and addresses and assign rooms while en route (trust me-plenty of down time in transit...) Not really sure if that answered your question, sir..

10-4 on Logistics will in Transit. Glad the hear the Corps has a plan, as always. Thank you. We have a Sleepy Tort res for all of us, but was wondering if he might want to 'endulge' with his buddies when he gets back.
