Eagle, Globe, and Anchor Tattoo – FINALLY

My name is Thomas Carter And I was stationed at MCSFCO Naples form 1995-1998. While over seas I couldn't find a good artist to do an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. Well, Here it is 7 years later and I finally got it. I have other Marine Corps tats, but this is the one that I always wanted. I had it done by Eric at full color coverage in Annapolis, MD. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Sgt. Grit! Semper Fi. read more

Coming Home Present

I am a marine wife. In May of 2004 I found out that I was pregnant with my son. A few days after that my husband(Cpl. Greer, Joseph USMC) was activated for deployment. He was deployed 2 1/2 months later. He was on the phone talking to me while I was in labor. That was an interesting conversation to say the least. I had planed to get a tattoo for my 20th birthday, but I was pregnant at the time. So one week before Joseph came home I got my tattoo. He was a little shocked that I did it. Alex was five weeks old when they finally met. To show my love and support for my husband, I had it written permanently on my back. Anyway here is a picture of my tattoo. read more

Fire and EGA, and Once A Marine Tattoo

Dear Sgt. Grit,

In February you posted a letter my daughter had written for your newsletter. I was quite surprised to read it as I didn't know she had submitted one to you. She talked about how she was leaving for PI in a few weeks and how "freakin motivated" she was. I just wanted to let you know and those who replied to her letter and encouraged her that she is now a Marine. She graduated from PI on 5/6/05. The EGA ceremony was inspirational and emotional for the new Marines (many of whom were crying, men and women) as was most of the audience. read more
