Sgt Grit-

I just got a moto tat this past week and I thought I would share it with everyone. I haven't seen too many female marines so here is mine. I graduated from boot camp 2 September 2005 and I am currently at NAS Pensacola.

Sgt Grit,

I served in the Marines from 1952 to 1960. Korean duty from '53-'55…over 16 months. Never got a tattoo … always wanted one…R&R in Japan and many liberties , and still no tattoos. My youngest daughter,Taylor, asked why not? My answer was "waiting for a special occasion" After a week at Parris Island with the Marine Corps League in May of 2005, and an article in your newsletter …TATTOOS Volume II…EGA Tattoo – FINALLY…Thomas Carter,the time had come. read more

I just got dropped from the comfort of boot camp into the craziness of the fleet Marine Corps. My drill instructors always told us if you are going to do something, do big, So I took the advice and did it big. I love this design (its yours). It’s the first of a couple of motto tats read more
