Posted by Seansmom03 He was never deployed (much to his chagrin, and probably, at least in part, the reason he's not staying in), so he doesn't have any of the mental/physical/emotional problems so many others have had to deal with. But, is there anything, as parents, my husband and I should know as he leaves the everyday life of an Active Duty Marine? We understand he's not the young 17 yr old, just-out-of-high-school kid we sent off to boot. Common sense goes a long way, of course, but we do want to assist in making the transition back to civilian life as smooth as possible for him (and for us!) - at least as much as we should be permitted to do. Any advice would be greatly welcomed. Thank you. My husband and I belong to a support group for Parents and Families of Marines. I'll make a more concerted effort to pass along this site's address so some of our new recruits' parents can check it out. Maybe it can become as busy and infomative as it was when I first thirsted for information. What I liked about this site were the Marines who came on and gave their thoughts and ideas. I'll do my best to help out. Again, thanks for any advice. ~Cpl Sean's Mom

I first found this site when my son was in DEP. that was over 4 years ago. I'm very sorry to see it so inactive. There was quite a bit of help waiting for me here back then. My son has been stationed at Camp Pendleton since he finished his MOS school (also in CA), nearly 3.5 yrs ago. He has made the decision to leave the Corps and not reenlist.
