I found a video of my son's platoon. The still pic is what I took off of my computer.

I didn't know he had an adam's apple        He did lose 25lbs.


Yep, Born again hard...Semper Fi  (Always Faithful)...The US Marine Motto !!!

Very good.
Nice to see he has a War Face.

Any spare Marpat?

Mark

That is definately a look of " I WILL kick your ass"

Look's to me like he's part of the green maschine, don't you just love the way that those instructor's can take just about anyone from any walk of life and mold them into one.

BTW. I really like that Marpat woodland camo!

Semper Fi Marine Dad!  You must be proud!

My 14 yr old son desperately wants to go to West Point or Annapolis.  I told him about the need for good grades and athleticism; so far so good.  If he doesn't make it, he plans on enlisting when he's 18.  The weight loss thing - I went from 190 to 150 over 6 weeks, then in the next four years added muscle to the tune of 220 lb.  Alas, being an old fart now, I still weigh 220 but it ain't muscle!    I'm guessing weight loss is pretty normal.

Wally

He'll keep you proud ..No Doubt!
Thank him from me for his service.

Taffy

Thanks for the replys and interest gents.

Yes, I am indeed a very proud Marine dad!!!

I will say this, the lassies at work want to see him after he graduates...it must be the uniform

He'll graduate Jan. 20th. My wife got his call last night ( I was still at work ) and she told me that he stated that they get an additional 7 days leave on top of the normal 10 days...Hell yes!!!...more time to go shooting with him

Btw: Taffy, have you received my package yet???

Wally

See your email Wally....

Many many thanks

Taffy

Quoted: See your email Wally.... Many many thanks Taffy

I just now did so. I should have checked that first. Thats why I came back here to delete the "BTW"

I'm going to respond to your e-mail...I best not say too much here or I'll have Mark chimeing in about some sort of lurid relationship we have going on...I don't want to hear about how this reminds him of an episode of the "Walton's"

Another Jarhead.



Tell your brat son good luck and to remember: When it comes to pain, it is better to give than to receive.

Does that include fractures to the arms, legs, and vertebrae of Enemy Soldiers?

Email, what email ??? Is there some kind of International, back slapping Gheyness thing going on here????
Or is it some kind of self appreciating society?

Or is it that because Jason, No:1 son is now a Jarhead, you have a spare room and are offering it to Taffy so he can move in and be the son you never had and smother him with lots and lots and lots of love and affection?.......................In a fatherly son,sort of way

Anyhow, where's your f**king avatar, huh?

Mark

What's up Mark?

You all outta Love?

We love you too


Taffy

Well Mark, You did not disappoint me. It was Homo-Fantastic

Now, as to the avatar thing. I have twice paid for a membership via pay-pal. I've even IM'ed Goatboy but to no avail. If Andy has some pull that would be great.

I just may sign up with a new moniker then try to get a membership again.

Quoted: Now, as to the avatar thing. I have twice paid for a membership via pay-pal.

Well then you should have two avatars

Hi Wally,
Congratulations to Wally Jnr , born-again Hard.

Good luck with the new avatar, just be careful if you go with the pink ribbon thing that's so popular at the moment and stay on this side of the pond, it's being used as a symbol of gay pride here, now that homosexuals can get married (or "civil partnership" as it's being called).

Quoted: Very good. Nice to see he has a War Face. Any spare Marpat? Mark

Mark

Thank you...After 10 weeks he should have a "War Face"

P.S. It's still 3 hours away from 2006...

Quoted: That is definately a look of " I WILL kick your ass"

I'm sure he'll take that as a complement...

Still 3 hours until 2006

Wally

Ok...This is my final post....and its still 2005 in merry olde America


Night all !!!

Wally,
I wanted to see if I could get a better pic of Junior. Here's what I came up with. I'm so very proud of him! Here's my friend Junior the Marine!

"original image"


"Antique"


"Sepia"


Oh before anyone says anything the "Pink ribbons" in my avatar represent my support for "Pattymcn" and every other woman out their dealing with breast Cancer. I have 3 members of my family dealing with different forms of cancer right now and have lost at least 3 others in the past 6 years.

Happy New Year to all of you! Here's to hoping we all have best coming year!

-John
