Luckily we parents survived those years, barely. And so did he. Albeit 3 less beloved skateboards, 2 Play Stations, one less Metallica CD ...Hell, he got to keep his teeth didn't he !?
Now that time has come, not only does the Marine Corp take mouthy, smart ass teenagers who sneak out and give their friends bouts of diarrhea, those Marine Corp Drill Sergeants take that same kid and turn him into the man his parents could only pray he'd become. And the best part they redefine ADD, Ass whoop-ins Delivered Daily, ODD, Optional Double Dose of ADD and my favorite WTHWYTDD DD now stands for Devil Dog.
Our family needs help funding the trip to San Diego to show support of our son. Like many others our families have endured lost jobs, relocating, unforeseen repairs and costs that no one could be prepared for . Our goal is to raise $1,500 for travel expense. Every dollar counts and no amount that you can give will go unappreciated. It is extremely humbling to have to ask our friends for help, it feels so much better to give, plan B is an option, but it includes me and a stripper pole, and I assure you the money thrown at me will be from those having to endure the sight. They will be screaming at me to put my clothes back on. And its not below me to offer Jack up to the highest bidder...
Time is of the essence because the cost of air fare goes up daily the closer we get. We have looked into every possible transportation method and it comes down to the length of time we can afford to be away from our jobs.
Our families thank you for loving us and our son enough to help us with this trip. It is one of the most important events and the longest awaited event of our lives. We couldn't be more proud of him than we are today, we can't imagine him standing alone during this time.
