Well my future son in law made it to the states. They sure don't get in a hurry bring our boys home. Usually about 2 weeks to get home. Brought him into the states in New Jersey Dumped him there and said in about 9 days well get you home. My daughter said BULL! She's dropping our grand child off and driving down to get him. Nice way to treat a top grade marine sniper who's been shot 3 time and almost blew up once. He got a broken shoulder ,arm and busted up real well when the truck he was riding shot gun on blew a bomb up and truck went into the air. Soon as he could he was back in the fighting. He spent months behind the lines with nothing but a rifle and a spotter. Said he always feels safer there. In camp you can always get shot by people suppose to be on your side. Or some new officer who starts sending guys out for who knows what. When he hasn't even got to learn the area. Hope fully he don't sign up for more deployments and stays in the states.
so true w/ new officers. some boot ensigns will always try and cause trouble. we threw one of them over the side one time. he transfered after that. they never came back to the fantail again.
Welcome home. And tell him Thanks for serving us all.
Did he go to FT DIX.
Viper tell your son-in-law that a 74yr old combat vet said thank you for his service...
Thanks for all the kind words and i'll pass them on soon I hope.
Give him a big hug for us viper!!!
Pat and Ann
Viper, make sure he knows how proud we all are of him and thank him for his service.
Viper, it sounds like they forgot to teach those boys how to duck. LOL just kidding. Glad to hear he is states side.

Yes just found out hes at Fort Dix. Guys with rides can leave but guys with out got to catch hops. He has been bumped several times all ready so my daughter said shes going. LOL Wedding in June so that will probably slow down. LOL
My sons unit lost a hero today and a few wounded.
This is going to major suck for a few months.
My condolences to your sons unit and the family's. That real hurts the heart.
Sorry to hear that Rick, kinda at a loss for words right now, but Prayers will be sent!!!
So Sorry to hear that. I'll be praying the rest get back fine. Its hard I know we went through it while Steve was there. they had a few too and then seemed like he was always getting it. Tough to set and not hear any thing. Praying for your family! And the rest.
God Bless Our Troops and those coalition fighters from countries who are helping us...they are real heros...we take what we have for granted...I am sitting here with my dogs and hubby watching tv and very comfotable because our military is the blanket I will sleep safely under tonight.
God Bless America
Nepas,
I am glad that your family is OK but grieve for the Heroes. It gets close to home and I know what that is like. My prayers are with you , your family and the troops.
