Todays Military ATC - Marines

Most of us either have friends or family fighting for our country. We are all very proud of the families who give everything to help and support those fighting. It's not easy to fight for this country and those we love, nor is it easy to be the one left behind to take care of everything.

I've got many good friends in the military and I miss them every day they are gone. I've been watching Army Wives and got to thinking, I would just love to make an ATC series to honor ALL of out military heroes.

For this swap, it will be part of a series. I will have all the branches. Yes, some are very alike, but still. The branches will be: Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard. I may also add in the end for Fire Fighters and Police as well, but for now it's just the military.

Requirements are simple: 1. Must be on standard 2.5x3.5 sizes, cardstock holds very well. 2. Can be made of any material. 3. You can paint, draw, digital, etc. Unlike some, I DO consider digital art as art. 4. Please include the branch on the front of the ATC so we know clearly which one as some are pretty much the same.

On the back be sure to include your name/swap bot username, date and swap name. If you have a title, you can include that as well.

For this swap it is only for MARINES. I will host one for each branch and every couple I will host make ups in case you missed one. 1 partner, 1 ATC.

This is my first ATC series I've hosted. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome.I will try hosting one a week, though will give plenty of time to finish.

As an extra, if you do the branch you have a loved one in, you're welcome to add a short letter about your heroic soldier!

If you're new to ATCs, you are still welcome. No recent/unexplained 1s or 3s please. 4.9 rating or higher. If you have had recent troubles (As I did, we all go through those hard times) just message me and let me know what's going on. It's hard times, and I understand. But if you do NOT message me about it, you will be banned.

I have this as International since our soldiers are indeed stationed around the world! If someone from another country is interested, you're welcome to join, just please know what you are to be making! These branches are based off of USA Soldiers. If you want to include one for your own military group you are welcome to as an extra.

Also, if you are interested in other military based swaps, please look at my new group. It's still new, but once people start joining we will also have group swaps. http://www.swap-bot.com/group/58fe29ee4745a09640a2de0eda2afdf9/about
