    Hi Mom - Good to Go!

    I received a phone call from each of my sons (at MCRD SD) a couple of days ago. They reported that they're both good to go for the Crucible next week...

    In one week, I'll really be a Marine Mom!

    C.

    Thank you all for your generosity. My sons begin their Crucible at oh-dark-hundred tomorrow...

    I don't need to set an alarm or require a DI to rouse me at that hour. I've been up at three am most mornings since they first stepped on the yellow footprints.

    I'm looking forward to sleeping in after graduation the way my sons are looking forward to pizza and cheeseburgers.

    Further up, Steve and Chris -- I am so proud that you have chosen a path that few dare to venture. While I cannot follow you, I am always with you.

    Honor. Courage. Commitment.

    Semper,

    Mom

    Congrats on your boys - and welcome to the Marine Mom family - just be prepared for the homecoming - and large lumps in the bed for the first days. Be prepared for the response "Yes, ma'am" at all times.

    Not to forget that they will have the neatest rooms and clothes now - you gotta love the transformation!

    How Wonderful!!!!
    I remember when my Mom and Dad came to my Graduation. I don't know who was more proud but my Mom cried the whole ride home from Parris Island to Rhode Island 18 hours. I asked my Dad about it and he said she was crying because now I was going to rearange the whole house and square it away for the next ten days I was home and she would have to start all over again when I left for Pensacola. ( He was kidding of course ).

    Congrats Mom!!!
    Semper Fi,

    Rocky
