A letter from the founder:
Dear Parents of Recruits,
We are all on these boards talking about our adult sons and daughters in their adult job. It's a great Place to Connect & Share™. But remember please, that these are public message boards. Some of the issues that are brought here by parents or family members for discussion are for the recruit to take up with his/her DI or SDI, not for his/her parents to post on a public message board for discussion with the general public.
This is your son or daughter's job. It is very uncommon in an adult world to have your mom and dad following behind you in your job. But we offer this space to connect with others that feel the unique emotions tied to having a son or daughter in the Marine Corps—to get support and to offer support to others. This message board is NOT to discuss job performance or expectations.
As volunteers and moderators we must respect and protect the privacy of recruits and their drill instructors. We ask that you respect and protect your recruit's privacy and the privacy of the drill instructors as well.
God Bless and Semper Fi,
Tracy Della Vecchia
Founder and Executive Director
