My son's best friend is leaving for Iraq this Tuesday for about a year. He joined the Marines and just got through with basic training and is home this weekend to visit with his family. He told me he has been classified as a gunner. We hope to see him before he leaves. Nothing else to say. :(

1. Wow...I don't even know what to say, greguganus.
I'll keep your son's best friend in my thoughts and prayers.

:hug: for your son and a :hug: for you, too.

2. That classification is for...
Machine gunners. I suggest you read a book named "Gunners Up!" to see what the job was like in The Nam.
