This One’s For My Mom

There’s no great rhyme or reason for this post. This one’s for my mom, a former officer in the United States Marine Corps from a time when being a female Marine, much less an officer, was a rarity of note.

Though Many Are Born, Few Are Made

As you either knew before or know now, I come by my love of country and my function as a defender of it naturally. It comes from having a mother who was not only pretty hardcore but was also Hard Corps. 😆

    God bless our Women Marines..but never,never call them BAMS. I made that mistake in the Quarters K slop chute across from Henderson Hall and wound up on the deck listening to a lecture on why WM should not be called BAMS. Thats a lecture I took seriously.

    And one you earned. 😉

    I found it uniquely Marine that there is no nomenclature for female Marines, unlike women in the other services. A Marine is a Marine irrespective of their plumbing.
