Need Support - Anyone have Military in the family?
I am having a horrible day today. I have been crying all morning. My (baby, well 22 yr. old) brother is a Marine. He had gotten his orders to go to Japan for 2 years, he is an Electrician. He has been there for 1 month and now we just found out from him that in November he is going to Afghanistan, for a "non job related tour and he's going to be a machine gunner"
I am just devastated (to say the least). It is very hard to get in touch with him and that's literally all we know so far. We are waiting to get more details, although, what more could I possible hear, to me that quote says it all.
I don't know how to really feel or how to really think. I hate that my mind races to the 'bad' - but I can't see how it possibly can't, with everything happening over there in the 'war zone'.
I guess I am hoping there are some of you out there that are in the same situation as my family and I hope you can shed some light and insight onto our "new,
news"???
Thanks...
