Hi Don, I know what you are going through. I was blessed with two wonderful sons. I lost my oldest (he was 20) in a car wreck and now my youngest (21) is stationed in Kuwait. It make me sick to my stomach and worries me so much knowing he is stationed there but I do get to talk to him so that helps. When your son gets to contact you see if he has a computer if so you both need to sign up for Skype. It is a wonderful website and you can also do video chats if your computers have cameras on them. It has helped me by being able to see my sons face to know he is ok. God Bless you and your family. Charlotte

Our son was in Afghanistan for 16 months. Once he got there (L-O-N-G travel time - - like days and days) and once he was settled in and could wait the long time to use the phone he was able to phone.

He was never allowed to give his actual location in the country but at lease we knew he was safe.

He came back to the US after the 16 month stint and spent 1 year here. In August he left for 12 months in Cuba - GTMO.

God bless, this is a tough time for all. I feel you pain.

From and Army Mom,

Take heart he will talk with you as soon as he can. My youngest is there as well, been there for the pass 3 months. It will drive you crazy trying to figure out what is going on so you must focus on the good things. It's not always easy to do but you must do that for yourself as well as the family. Kids sense when you are worried and that will make them act differently as well. Keep your faith high and you love strong!

Hoping all will turn out fine for you all. Here is a tip you might pass to his wife, when my husband was in a hazardous zone they usually get hazardous pay so the check will be up a bit, also they get to call or now a days they have e-mail when they are back in a safe zone you will hear from them/ Just don't expect to be told where they are cause they are not suppose to say. If she needs anything go to the chaplain on base he has the resourses to know what and where everything is to help. His unit should also have a wife's group that usually updates on what they can when they can.at least some did. Ravonda
