Oh honey I do feel for you! when my son went "to the desert", no one could tell me anything. I didn't even know where he was. not until he got back. only then could he tell me where he had been. He had gotten out of the airforce and was putting time in as a reserve. they called him up and off he went. Ending his tour just in time to be qualified for another call if they want to do it all again.
there is nothing we can do but keep in touch with them. they can send emails now , which is a big improvment over past wars. just don't expect too many words on the emails because you have to remember they are sharing computers with a lot of other soldiers who are in line to use it as soon as you are off.
I have found one thing helpful... keep all your letters upbeat. if not it will bring him down. only makes things worse for him.
I've got you and your brother in my prayers. Let him know how proud you are of him.
