That means that I’m a volunteer at Marine Parents.com. My job title is a Moderator. I will be responsible for proof reading the messages that are to be posted in the Recruit Parents discussion groups. I will be helping new recruit family and friends adjust to the roller coaster ride called boot camp in a caring and encouraging way. I am available to answer questions, help with problems, give advice where I can and support when needed or just be here to listen. My door is always open to all so don't be afraid to contact me at any time either on this site or by email.

I wear no uniform; no dress blues, no cammie greens, but I AM in the military among the ranks rarely seen. I have no rank upon my shoulder and salutes I do not give. But the military is the world in which I live; I am the PROUD MOM of a US MARINE!

Hi Darlene,
Do you know if Lima Co will be able to see a Padre's game before graduation? If so, which one?
Thanks,
Rebecca
Darlene do you know if recruits in SD are allowed to write other recruits that are at PI?? My son had a really good friend that is female that left 2 weeks after he did. Wasn't sure what the rules about that are???
Hi Darlene, My son just shipped out 4/9/12, with graduation set for 7/6/12. He is with Mike co PLT 3276. I don't know if I am on the right site for discussions about his group>
Thanks! Sorry about the address thing. Didn't think I put the whole address and didn't know that it was posted just thought it was to you.
Darlene,
Thanks soo much for posting the Family
Day and Graduation Day Info. A great help to alot of people. I was wondering when you said that grad. day was more formal, did you mean NO jeans, or just nice looking jeans, outfit, etc. ???
thank you, darlene
Hello Darlene, I jusr read on one of the discussion boards that for Family day and graduation it is only the immediate family that can attend. Is this correct information? My sons' girlfriend is planning on attending if she can.
Thanks..
Darlene platoon numbers are incorrect for Lima Company can you correct please...they are a 325* series not 324*
