please read

i am in calif at camp pennalton and i just said buy to my 18 year old son,he has just left to iraq,i thought i would take it good .but i dont know how to explain the feeling to see your boy go off to WAR.i dont feel to good i kinda feel like my chest hurts,and now i have to make the drive back to austin,so if i cant make it to heatwave please understand,i wish no one would flame me for this post.im sorry for posting to you guys but i feel i need to.

Take it easy and try and think of the best. I know it is hard, but I am sure he will return safely. Don't worry to much on heatwave as this point, take the time you need. Not something you need to worry yourself over more.

Take care of yourself my thoughts and wishes are for him on a safe trip there and home.

i understand how you feel my dad was over there the whole time i was in highschool all 4 years.....finished out his service for the military there and retired when he came back....sucks just take it easy

Hey man my sister was just over there she said it was boring as hell, but she came back in one piece. Just make sure you send him lots of reading material and pictures. Do you know how long he is supposed to be in the desert???

well i got a phone call last night from american red cross and they told me my son got grazed but he is ok and he called last night also he is staying to finish his tour there so i wont see him for 6 to 7 months if the dont get there deployment to stay longer,

so i am gonna be on here alot to keep my mine of some thing.

tell him to hook up with jeff over there he can keep an eye on him till jeff comes home, but im sure noone would dare flame you for this keep your head up and think positive man and stay strong

i think jess is army.my boy is marine.the capt told me in calif before deployment that there unit has only 1 mission and when that is done they might come home.

LOL @ Jess

I'm also in the army and probly next in line to go over also and the national guard unit from here just left the other day to go to training... what is his job in the marines??

lance corp saw gunner

awsome... i got stuck as a motor vehicle operator... they wouldn't pass my security clearance cause of my driving record so they wouldn't let me become an MP... so they let me drive for them.... awsome military intelligence

same thing they wouldnt give my son special security clearance because of my record.thats realy messed up why punish him for my record

Ouch... like they say though... like father like son

or is it the other way around

its rough over here for sure but not all the time just in sperts i dont kick in doors or anything but rather run the entrance to the place we are at and we do get hit now and then like i said its a game of chance.

I do see alot of people coming in needing attention or worse, and the vehicles you cant even emagine how they get, but they do protect

thanks for the upper... beings i would be the one driving the vehicle... i have no doubt that the vehicles protect... ive driving one of the new 915's with the electronic push button trans with all the armor on it.... the doors are like 4 in thick solid somthing... i want to say steel but the glass on those are some thick stuff to... mmmmmm... maybe there is a way to get ahold of one of those... doubt you will get any flex out of them no matter what you put in it
