My son is in Iraq his 3 tour and is due home in 23days 13hrs and 53 mins. or there about, he been over there for 1yr.

We are not told much about where he is or the exact time he will be back in the states, we hear from him when ever he can. we do have a number we can call in an emergency, we do email him and send stuff over there, but other then that we are pretty much left in the dark. when he does return to the states or other air base he is debrief for several days and then is allow to return back to his base and then he comes home. I am told he will be back in the states for 6mos and them fly back out.

It's hard and when we do get to talk to him we always keep it upbeat regardless of what going on here my feelings on this there nothing he can do here why worry him when theres nothing he can do, don't get me wrong if it was ilfe and death we would tell him.

when I think I have the whole thing under controll then something happens like with ella owner and I realize how real it really is. I put my faith in god and prayers and wait.
