My son will also be going back in March, he was suppose to go to Japan for 3 mos, but his orders were change in Dec. he will be flying out in March for 6mos.
I kept hoping they would change his orders again but talk to him on Firday and they are already for having brifings so right now it's a 100% go.
My son is a Marine pilot, last time he was gone for 6mos, we heard from him twice, this time I was told he would not be in contact for the 6mos, we are given a emergency number to the Marines base if we need to contact him.
It's a scarey things we have to go through when our family memebers are in the miltary, but Trey (my son) believes in what he is doing and really believes that we are helping, so with that I support him 100% and do whatever I can on the home front.
I am right there with you with all the worrying and crying and I know the worst for me is the not knowing, the lost in voice contact, so I think about when they will be back home and the 2mos leave he will have when he returns.
If I can help you in any way please let me know. we are in this together all of us miltary familes, we have a special bond thats links us all . |
