Vets will get my humor, my boys were approached by marine recruiter career day [View all]

My boys told me the marine recruiter stopped them and said hello can I talk to you guys. My boys said we’re only in tenth grade he said that’s ok we can talk.
My one son said our dad said we’re not allowed to talk to you, he asked why. And my one son said dad was airborne infantry in the army and he said only recruiter were allowed to talk with is the Air Force. They told me the fine marine laughed told them have a great day.
