he is currently in Kuwait (I think) and might be going to Baghdad (Iraq) sometime this week. He just called me on Sunduay to let me know he is leaving to Iraq.

what unit is he with angel? I know that is a new Army unit coming to Baghdad. In fact, alot of them are already here. Maybe I will see him or even work with him. We work side by side with the Army at one of the check points on BIAP better known as Baghdad International Airport. Hope he is doing well. Also, I will be returning here, it is only a vacation in April, I have til October until I get to come home for good. :( But at least I get to come home and see my beautiful wife for 2 weeks. :love:

I am not sure what unit he is in. He is not in the Army, he is in the Marines. He was very brief in the information that he gave me last week. Well at least you will be back for two weeks and then for good in October. I think my boyfriend should be coming back in Aug. or Sept. :) Sorry could not be more specific I will be sure to ask him next time he calls.

I am so glad to see that you guys could keep in touch so well over the internet! When my husband was deployed overseas it was so lonely. . . however the 15 minutes watching the plane taxi in and waiting for him to finally get off was the longest and slowest of all the time! Happy all has gone well for you two and wish you the happiest of reunions!!!!! :love:

Thanks Kyrah, the internet has been a life saver. Letters take a long time and phone calls are few and far between. Whoever invented instant messaging gets a big KISS from me.

He is fine, thank you for asking, and thinking of him. I wasnt sure whether or not to keep reading past the headlines when I saw that news. My stomach was in knots. I was pretty sure that he wouldnt have been in that area, but you never know. It wasnt his company, but they all know each other. He said everyone was pretty upset and of course now the talk is retaliation. He leaves Baghdad tomorrow with an overnight in Amman then will be on his way home. Now if we can just enjoy the next 2 weeks without thinking about him going back.....

Well, everyone keep those prayers going!!!
Maybe something will happen to change the situation there while he is home on leave and he won't have to go back?

I'm so glad that your husband is okay. When I read the news, you were the first person I thought of. I will send up prayers for you all for his continued safety and the joyful homecoming.

Taking a minute to say hello to all. We have been on the go since I picked him up at the airport, which is a whole other story in itself. These 2 weeks hav gone by way too fast. Not looking forward to saying goodbye again. Looks like I will have a lot of reading to catch up on here at FT. See ya soon.

Sorry I'm late, but hope you two are having fun. My father and my Detachments on warning to be shipped out. I've still got to go through BCT, but if my platoon is still over there when I get out I'll be shipped with them. My prayers are with everyone over there and I'll place a special one there for your hubby azred. I know I'll be worried about my dad but he has experience and will manage to keep himself and his platoon safe. Drive on Brad drive on, it'll be over soon and then you won't have to worry anymore, my prayers are with you, Godspeed and keep your head low. HOOAH.:cool::dumbbell:

OMG Charlie I feel like I've been to a dress rehearsal for our cruise in Dec :laugh: We may not have rested quite as much as we wanted to, but we definitely didn't forget to eat. We had so much fun. It was like being on a vacation, but we got to sleep in our own bed at the end of each day. We went up to Sedona for a couple days and would you believe we ran into a guy that works with hubby at Baghdad Intl Airport who was also home on vacation. Small world. Unfortunately it had to come to an end. I saw him off again just a few hours ago for round 2. This time he gets to take vacation after just 3 months....woohoo! I miss you already hubby :love:
