[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 701552, member: 19951"] My middle son joined the Marines a few years out of high school. He researched it and found that many CEO's were Marines. He could have gone to college, been an engineer, high IQ, etc. But he wanted to do this-I made him read all the fine print before he signed and told him, make sure he understood what he was committing to- I said I don't want to hear that you didn't understand. I went with him talked to recruiter, he asked lot of questions, etc. He was in Iraqi Freedom. He told me it was the best thing he ever did. He got to see the world, went to many places, formed lasting bonds, built character, discipline, integrity and saw the world through different eyes. It made him appreciate how fortunate he was to live in USA and the struggles that other people from other countries go through daily. It got him a really good job after his honorable discharge. He has no regrets. Good luck to your son, Sempi FI from one Marine Mom to another. Here is a website that is incredible for support with other Marine parents. Husband and I met many people from here from son's unit after boot camp. [URL]http://moms-of-marines-support.com/Site-Map.html[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
