Jarhead Tattoos

Figured i would finally get around to sending in my tats now that i got a good camera. The chest tat is my favorite and deffinately has to be a one of a kind. was going to get the out line of P.I. but then thought when I think of the phrase “there’s no place like home” I think of the red shoes in the wizard of oz and thus the Yellow Footprints came to mind. My friends do not understand the footprints at all. On the barbwire one I have my platoon number from P.I. “1111” and the Marine b-day but hacd to add “Tun Tavern” above it as again with people they asked is that your b-day, and I tell them in a way yes it is. The other one has “Semper Fi” below it with “84” and above it had “Jarhead” put on (my NH license plate says Jarhead too). SEMPER FI, Bill J. read more

Girlfriend of a Marine

Hey Sgt! I’ve been receiving your letters since my boyfriend got out of basic training. We’ve been dating for a little over two years now and he’s the love of my life! His brother and a very close friend of his are both in the army (you should hear the arguements!) His brother is possibly working on a second tour in iraq, and his friend is due back from there in September. Adam would like to serve for us over there as well… He’s been in the brotherhood since August of last year. He actually left the same week as his 20th Birthday. While in Basic I sent him photos to keep him updated, a birthday card (which I think he got in trouble for!), and I had 2 Veterans from the Marines talking me through his training and telling me their own stories. When he came home from MCT his sister and him got tattoos. Ironically enough, Saddam Hussane was hung that night! Anyways this past Monday, after coming home from Twentynine Palms, Ca, he flew to Okinawa where he’ll be stationed for two years. Both our families and I support him very much. After he’s out of the service and I’m done with schooling we plan to get married. Wish us luck! By the way, I love your store and I’ll probably still be buying from you guys long after he gets out. A very Proud Girl, Chelsea P.S. How about that Tattoo? read more
