Just got home from the meps station down town from watching my son enlist in the Marine delayed enlistment program. He will pick his job tomorrow and ships out the 2nd of Feb. I was Air Force and his sister was Army. So the military is no stranger to us. He came and talked to me about it a few months ago and has had to jump a lot of hoops for the Marines. But he got it done. As a dad I couldn't be more proud of him than I am right now. I wish him a safe journey on this new road he is taking. I love you son
Congratulations. I wish your son the best of luck in his new career and life. May he stay safe and protect this country and what it stands for.
Congratulations! His life is definitely going to change. Please thank him for taking on the responsibility for voluntarily serving his country.
I pray for peace to you and safety for your family.

it really hits home when you're there for their graduation from boot. For us it was our daughter graduation ceremony in the same building i had 26 years before.
Awesome! Prayers go out for him and the family!

Nice! Congrats!
Congratulations. That fact he had to jump a few hoops to make this happen must make it that much more rewarding for him. Thank him & may he be safe.
