Signed Up
Well then. Seems like it was last year, we had a career day. Lots of companies showed up. So did the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Marines.
I made it a point to visit with most and say howdy. There were two Marine Recruiters at one of the tables. One was in Dress Blues, and the other in Modified Blues that recruiters wear.
I had just talked to them for a bit and was walking away when two girls in my class wandered up. I asked them if they talked to the Marines yet. They said no. I asked them if they were afraid to. They said no.
Presto. They came in for their second year in the class. Both of them (they are twins) had enlisted in the Marine Corps over the summer on the delay entry program. They will ship next June.
These two ladies are unique. They are Polish Americans. Born in Poland complete with a mild accent. They are A students (bug off Jon Carry .. neither had to join … they are honor roll kids). They will make excellent Marines.
I am proud of them both. I made them promise to write and send photos.

Hugs to them both. As a woman I am especially proud of them.

The just moved their ship date up to January. The both will have enough credits to graduate early, and are anxious to go.
I have invited the Marine recruiters out in October, maybe I will have a photo or two to post by then.

Wonderful! Congratulate them for me. And I’m pretty sure we could find them a lovely Polish lady to correspond with…Agnieska!

They are both excellent artists. I have a self portrait of one now and hope to get the portrait of the other sister in a day or so.
When I do I will publish them here.
