I think Big Al was pointing out to the lad that a Commander had just given him some good advice and he ignored it.
Personnally I think if someone goes and gets a MC tatoo and doesn't have some sort of qualifier included then they are a poser. It would be no different if they wore dress blues in public.

Well, ya got me there. I asked my Dad about the Marine Corps (he was a driver in Korea). He advised me to go Air Force. He was looking after my safety like a good father. One of the few times I ever saw him cry was when I loudly insisted that I was a-gonna do it anyway. I sure miss that guy. /hijack

Hello,
I am not a Marine, but I have a son that is a RCT and will be graduating in September. When my RCT graduates I would like to get a tattoo with the EGA to honor him. I know this can be a sensitive subject and I absolutely do not want to insult anyone. The design I was going with is the EGA (done properly) with a lily off to each side with proud mom. I do not like to put names with tattoo's. Would this be acceptable? If not, any and all constructive criticism is welcome because I want to do this right for my son and for all the other Marines.

You haven't earned it, I would say no, but in all reality how can we stop it, Semper Fidelis.

Thank you for your honest answer. This is exactly why I posted here. I do not want to disrespect anyone. Any suggestions on how I can honor my son without disrespecting what all Marines work so hard to earn?

How about a plate on your vehicle that says something like "A Proud Mother of a U. S. Marine!

Thank you for your comment. I intend to do just that. I have figured out a design that will honor my son and will not be disrespectful. The American flag, the type of cross that my son and I both like with dog tags hanging from it. This is an empty nest coping mechanism for me. When my oldest left the nest I had a piece done for him as well. My oldest is not military affiliated. I went with a design that meant something important to honor him.
