John (John A. Diolosa) from Bethpage, NY
Marine
and
John serves as a MP volunteer to provide
encouragement, support, and information to families
and friends of their poolies as they head off to
Parris Island to become recruits, and to begin
training in their quest to become United States
Marines.
John served in the United States Marine Corps from
1980-1986, and also served in the National Guard and
US Army IRR from 1989-1996. John and his wife Nancy
have been married since November 1983, and they have
2 sons. Anthony, who is 10 years older, serves in
Law Enforcement in New York State, and his younger
brother Jamie, who is 10 years younger, is their
Marine. Jamie graduated boot camp at Parris Island
on 8/3/18 as a
Private First Class.
In addition, John's wife Nancy is the primary
caretaker of John's developmentally
challenged younger brother Jamie M. Diolosa.
John believes that his prior Military Service, along
with seeing his youngest son enlist in the Marine
Corps, has given him a unique perspective from both
sides. He knows what it takes to become a Marine
from first hand experience, as well as the concerns
and fears of families and friends who send their
loved ones off to Boot Camp. It is his hope that he
can provide compassion and guidance to these
families and friends, while helping them to become
familiar with the Military aspect of the journey
that their loved ones have chosen to take.
