Hey Devil Dogs! I would like for you to add this tattoo to your Scuttlebutt pages of USMC tattoos! My husband, Sergeant Tim Capehart, and I got married on May 19, 2007, and he got activated on June 1, 2007. He will be leaving for Iraq at the end of September, 2007, and I am heartbroken, but proud. I love my husband with all of my heart, and althought I will miss him more than words can express, I am so proud of him. He is fulfilling a commitment to the country that he loves, something that so few are willing to do. He is a Combat Engineer with Alpha Company, 4th CEB out of Cross Lanes, WV and will be deploying with 3/23 out of New Orelans. This is my husband’s secound tour of duty with his Corps, and I have been here holding down the homefront while he is gone. I got this tattoo in support of him. I want the whole world to know just how proud of my husband I am. I showed it to a friend of ours who is a Gunny, and he teared up and told me that he wished everyone knew just how important the wives, girlfriends, etc are to the men that are overseas. He told me that we are the backbone of the deployed Marines. I completely agree. A lot of people focus on the guys, and rightly so, but they often overlook the wives that are left behind…it’s hard for us too! I pray every day for my husband, along with every other Marine that is serving to protect my freedom. To all Marines past, present and future, thank you for your service. I owe you all a debt that I could never repay. Semper Fi! Stephanie Capehart read more

I’m a former Scout/Sniper from STA 1/8 and STA 2/8. Got this tat on my back recently.

Sgt. Grit. I came upon your site and thought I’d share my tattoo so that it can be added to your collection. Although I didn’t get it until I was out for a few years, I’m glad I waited to be sure it was something I’d be proud of. Cpl. Barron Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion USMC read more

Sgt Grit: My name’s Sgt Rodriguez from Headquarters Battalion Marine Corps Base Hawaii as the S-3 Training NCO. I wanted a moto tat but I didn’t want the traditional USMC or SEMPER FI(DELIS) so I had a buddy of mine draw up a variation of the tattoo I have now. The original he came up with didn’t have equal ink on both sides so I had the artist from 808 Tattoo tweak it and this is the masterpiece that developed. If I do pick up rank if I re-enlist, I left room for promotion under. Semper Fi, Sgt Rodriguez read more
