The following is a transcript of a chat room conversation between several Marine mothers as our sons and daughters came in from their Crucible and were pinned United States Marines. One mother (nics mom) was on the phone with a friend of hers who was on the Marine Base at Parris Island, SC when the ceremony took place. Most of us had not slept much the past two nights knowing our kids were on their Crucible. We had many conversations in the wee hours of the night together, holding each other up, praying for one another. But this morning we had the priviledge of being as close as we could to our kids as they became United States Marines, thanks to cell phones and good friends willing to relay all the happenings as they took place! Enjoy, and remember we hadn't had much sleep!
