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

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.

I got this tattoo on 17Mar67 while stationed in San Diego in Schools battalion Ground radio Repair – 2841.

Hello everyone. I am a new Marine mom. My son PFC Gary, just finished his SOI training at Camp Pendleton on 1-5-06. He got his permanent duty station in Hawaii. He is in the 3/3 Lima Co. There is a chance that he may go over to Iraq, it terrifies me, but this is what he wants to do. I will be brave for him. I am extremely proud of him for joining the Marines, which are the toughest branch. I recently got a tattoo while he was home for Christmas, It says MOM mother of a marine. I told him that he will forever be a marine and I will forever be his mom. To all the fellow Marines who are over defending us, please keep your heads down and return safely, and a great big THANK YOU for serving our Country. read more
