For some Marines, mail call was a moment of disparity. I’m an ex Marine (Paris Island). While in boot camp, I got to see first hand at some of the reactions of my buddies as many of them lost there love ones. Mind you, this was only in boot camp. Then you had those that were sent overseas. Many of them had to wait at least six months or more before they were able to get back home and see there love ones. After a week or two, they would leave again. This sort of reminds me of one of those long distance relationships. Some last and others don’t. A Serviceman or not, it’s very difficult to remain in love with someone that is not there on a regular basis. Hey lonely Marine, Semper Fidelis and let no one, absolutely no one tread on you.
