Pullstart 62,789 #1 Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Last night, I found out my 17 year old Brother In Law signed papers last week to become a United States Marine. He is going into his senior year of high school, then off to boot camp immediately following. I’ve known him since he was 4 and he’s been practicing his sniping in the yard since at least then! This week he is taking his physical, then needs to run 3 miles in 28 minutes. He’s currently at 24 minutes and trains daily between football (he’s the starting QB) and the gym. Blaze Adam Sensiba, with a proud year in my eye and a lump in my throat I love you man and am proud of you!

Daddy Don 905 #4 Posted August 11, 2020 I want to say to him he will never regret doing this. I was drafted in 1968 and severed in the Air Force 4 years. One year in Vietnam. He will make so many friends he cannot remember their names so take pictures of them and then wright their names on the back of them. I want to be one of the first to wish him for his service. It will change his whole life from day one. Make the best of it you will never forget all the friends you will make. God bless you and your family. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proud of him and glad to see such a fine young man willing to serve our country. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
