Military families

[CochinBrahmaLover]

Thank you for starting this thread! I've been wanting to start one like it, but didn't know exactly what to say.

I have a cousin in the Marines. He is currently in MOS school in Mississippi. Thankfully, he will never go to Afghanistan because of his MOS, but will probably go to Japan. I am so proud of him! <3

cool, but what is a MOS?

Japan?!

wow, I hope he wont be deployed for fighting, maybe invertory, sounds fun huh?

I've never been in the military, but all four of my brothers, my brother in law, and many family members have been. I am a member of the Patriot Guard, and would like to THANK all who have or are serving, and their families. Your sacrifices keep America free and safe.

Can I join in too, please? I am ex Royal Air Force, as was my late Dad in WW2. His Dad died after being torpedoed (for the 2nd time) during WW1. My career was brought to a very sudden halt, care of a drunken driver in 1976, so I know just how tough it is to get over injuries, no matter how they were caused. I was in Air Traffic Control and my last 18 months were dealing with anything that declared an emergency, civvy or military. My husband has no connection with the Forces, although his Dad did National Service during the 1950's in the British Army.

My Service era saw the Cold War and for we Brits, the delights of the IRA.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those who serve, no matter what nationality, both during their time of Service and when they return to civvy street. May your God Bless and keep you safely, both physically and mentally.

MOS stands for Military Occupational Specialty or something like that. His MOS is Test Maintance and Diagnostics Equipment Tech. specialising in radars. He will find out in two weeks whether he will go to Japan or stay in the States. But he will be in for 5 years, so even though he may not go to Japan now, he may have to go later. He's only 19.

Wow there are so many people here connected to the military. It's always amazing to me how many military families there are over the generations! I hope that I can instill the sense of patriotism I have in my own children so whether or not they decide to join they understand what it means to serve in the military.
