Jennifer (Jennifer Crosson) from Xenia, Ohio
Marine
and
Jennifer lives in Ohio with her husband Jim. Both she and her husband are retired
Air Force.
Her only son joined the Marine Corps in January 2022. She will never forget the day
her son
said he was enlisting in the Marine Corps. He had some issues with asthma so he
was shut
down by many recruiters. The Marine Corps was willing to listen and forward his
information
to MEPs. Their willingness to fight for him made her realize it was the right service
for him.
Now that Jennifer is an empty nester, she tries to stay busy and enjoy her hobbies.
She
loves to backpack, camp, hike, kayak, scrapbook, and cook.
Jennifer decided to volunteer for Marine Parents because of the support she
received from
the first day she met her son’s recruiter. He told her about Marine Parents and she
joined
the first group because she wanted to learn about the Marine Corps and understand
what
her son was getting ready to do. Although her son was only a Poolee for 3 weeks,
the
support in that group was very helpful and put her at ease. She has been grateful to
the
volunteers and other families during each transition to the next group. Now that her
Marine
is finally at his permanent duty station, she wants to help other families have the
same
experience she did and hopefully make their journey a little easier.
