Very proud dad

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.

Congrats Ghostrider, and I echo the sentiments of posts 2 and 3 as well.

God bless.

Congratulations to you and to him. [Beer]

Congratulations to both of you, and I thank your family and you for protecting our country. [Beer]

Congrats to you both!

Congratulations.

Congrats, to both you and your son. Keep us posted on his progress!

Congrats, may he come home safe from his enlistment a better man for his service. It is a choice many will never know the satisfaction of.

Awesome! Prayers go out for him and the family!
