Glad to hear that you make it back. As a Master Sergeant you must be close to or beyond retirement eligible (20 years).
I just learned this week that my number two son will be going on active duty with his reserve unit in November. They'll be training for three months at Camp Lejune and other nice places the Marines frequent, and then off to some exotic local for seven months. He got lost on the way to college, but I think he has a new appreciation for higher education. Need to figure out how to get him an additional eight months of active duty so he'll qualify for eighty percent of the new GI bill.
He's a third generation Marine, but the first to graduate from boot camp!
Cheers,
Gus
