Gillien (Jill McCarl) from Chariton, IA
Marine
and
Gillien (Jill) is a retired police officer with two kids. She spent 30 years helping people
through various stages of life and is now able to relax and focus on her kids. Her daughter
recently made her a grandma, and her son is a new Marine, waiting for his SOI Class to
begin.
Jill learned about MarineParents.com when her son joined the Marine Corps, and his
recruiter gave her the training schedule for his boot camp, which had the link to
MarineParents.com. She joined her son's Battalion Group and was given all the information
she could possibly need to follow her son's journey to becoming a Marine. She found the
volunteers helpful, courteous, and always willing to answer any questions. She felt called to
become a volunteer so she could pay it forward to future families going through the same
process. This allows her to continue following her calling to help people, but this time, it will
be in all the stages of having a family member in the Marine Corps.
