My husband is now officially a corpral in the United States Marine Corps!!!!! He was pinned this morning! And I got to pin him!!!! It was great!!!! But my brother in law left the camera in the truck so we didn't get any pictures, but that's ok. I was sooo nervous though, my entire body was shaking!! Come on . . .I was up there with his 1st Lt & Master Guns!!! But, they were really nice and told me exactly what to do:) Then I FINALLY got to meet Ssgt Nunez!!! Nice guy . . . wow . . .it's been an awesome morning. Now I'm just waiting on Ben to get home!!!

congratulation to him, i used to be corporal in canadian infantry but i've promoted officer cadet 6 month ago. But i think corporal is the best rank in an army because you have responsability but not too much.

CONGRATS. My best friend is a Sergeant in The US Marine Corp. Semper Fidelis. My friend is stationed at Camp LeJune...where are you guys stationed. I bet it is an awesome feeling for both you and him. Tell him that though I am not a marine I know second hand that he is doing our country a great service just being a marine...OOOOORAH!!!
