| Blogger's son is off to USMC boot camp |
| 2004-07-25 |
The Rev. Donald Sensing is taking the weekend off because he's taking his son Stephen to Nashville to begin his career as a United States Marine:After a once-over-lightly physical exam and a urinalysis, his grandfather, Col. (ret.) George D. Stephens, USA, will administer him the enlistment oath. After lunch, Stephen will depart for boot camp at Parris Island, SC... Semper Fi, Donald. Semper Fi, Stephen. Here's hoping the Army of Steve® can make room for a(nother) Jarhead! |

| #9 There aren't enough words to say how much we appreciate what your/our fine sons and daughters are doing by serving their country in the military! (And the sacrifice their parents, spouses and children make to do without them at home.) May God bless them and bring them home soon safe, sound and victorious. |

| #7 (Sigh) As the oldest son of parents who BOTH served in WWII, married to someone whose father spent 30 years in the Air Force, and after spending 26 years myself, I end up with three kids that are "physically unacceptable for military service (4-F)". My best friend just sent HIS oldest off to Lackland the first of this month... Glad there are folks out there that can take up the slack! Good luck and Godspeed to all new recruits, even though "You'll be sorry!!!!" |

| #5 Congrats Mike! As an Ex-Zoomie I can tell you that they only take the smartest and best looking recruits. I got in under some equal rights program for dumb/ugly people. |

| #2 Semper Fidelis indeed. When we ask "where do we get such men", look no further. I'll be going thorugh this myself soon - my kid, who doesn't seem like he is 18, is set to become Airman First Class Michael J. Kozlowski II, USAF/SCANG, 169 FW (The Swamp Foxes). The USAF has survived Cold War, Hot War, and helped to defeat a dozen dicators in its day. I hope they're ready for my kid... The above is just kidding - I am intensely proud of my son in ways I can never put into words. Mike |
