I call him my pet Marine. He lets me bust his chops and does not put a dent in my head. He is only a couple years older than my boy and they pal around too.

their is nothing better than when you are deployed to get a care package. i used to feel so bad for the guys that didnt get mail or never got any mail while we were deployed and yes their was a lot of those guys. i always shared my stuff with those guys. people dont understand the pick me up it gives when you get something from state side

We sent him a pack before he came home with danner socks, E.L. Fudge cookies, and toiletries. When he got back he gave us both big hugs. The smile on his face is worth it, plus like I said he might as well be family.
