DH told me something disturbing today... - He may have to go to Iraq or Afganistan.


MomToJade&Jordan wrote: This is not good. He told me that his name is being thrown around again as a possible person to go out there. If he goes it would actually be either Iraq or Afganistan. I'm scared here guys. This isn't a sure thing and he is like one of 5 on the list, but this is not what I wanted to hear. If he goes I don't even know how long he will be gone. I will be upset, but there really isn't anything I can do about it. I knew what I was getting into when I married someone in the military. I could use some good vibes here or anything else you can think of. I am going to be a wreck until I know for sure. I will keep everyone posted.

Littlejojames replied: Oh god bet your so worried.

People always say things like i knew what i was getting into but it does not stop you worrying, you wouldnt love him if you didnt.

I'm sure that everything will be fine and remember that were here to listen anytime you want to talk.

MomToMany replied: I'm so sorry Carrie-Ann. I hope he doesn't go, for everyone's sake. It must have been real hard for him to tell you that.

grouphug: grouphug.gif grouphug.gif Here's some hugs and positive thoughts that he doesn't go. grouphug.gif grouphug.gif grouphug.gif

Boys r us replied: (((HUGS))) Whether you knew what you were getting into or not..it doesn't make it any easier!!!!! I'm so sorry!! Please let us know!!!

coasterqueen replied: Oh sweetie....if I was there I'd give you a zillion ((HUGS)). Please know that we are here for you and am praying that he does not have to go. grouphug.gif grouphug.gif

kit_kats_mom replied: Oh honey...I'm sorry. I can not imagine the worry. I can tell by the time of your post that you probably didn't get much sleep. I'd be the exact same way. What a horrible thing to have to even think about.

Do they know when a final decision will be made? I always do better if I am not left hanging KWIM?

I'll be sending "no deployment" vibes to you guys. You need your hunny there with you...he's already been gone too much. bawling.gif

kimberley replied: oh no! that is scary. p&pt coming your way. i really hope he doesn't have to go. keep us posted. grouphug.gif

jcc64 replied: I cannot begin to imagine how you must be feeling. I really hope it works out the way you want it to. Either way, we're here for you!

favre4fan replied: I can completely relate to what you are going through. I was an airforce brat and we lived in Germany and I met my ex husband over there. Well we got married and he got deployed to saudi during desert storm for 6 months needless to say this was after I found out I was pregnant. So not only was I 18 pregnant and alone but my family had already moved back to states. He came back in time for the birth and then got deployed for another 6 months. It was rough and I know how it feels to be on this roller coaster of not knowing. It is a hard thing to be a military wife or family. Its like you know it going into that kind of life but then you don't ever think something like this could have to happen. well I will keep my fingers crossed that he does not have to go. Please let us know when u find out. grouphug.gif

DansMom replied: I hope he doesn't have to go. I'm definitely sending vibes your way. grouphug.gif grouphug.gif

MommyToAshley replied: grouphug.gif What a scarey thought, I hope he doesn't have to go. grouphug.gif Keep us posted, and I am sending P&PT's your way.

I hope all of our soldiers will be able to come home soon.

Kaitlin'smom replied: oh what a horrible thoguth, I hope he is not chosen to go. keep us up dated, until then I will sent positive thoughts your way.

3xsthefun replied: Oh, no I'm sorry. I really hope that he won't have to go. You will be in my thoughts. grouphug.gif

chloe&tysmommy replied: Oh No! ohmy.gif That is horrible news...I really hope he doesn't have to go...sending P&PT your way Carrie-Ann grouphug.gif

ediep replied: oh How scary! I sure hope he doesn't have to go!! ((HUGS))

amynicole21 replied: Oh no! I am keeping my fingers crossed that he is not chosen. Hang in there sweetie!! grouphug.gif

A&A'smommy replied: (((BIG HUGS)))) I hope he doesn't have to go! There is a girl that is a little older than I am her baby is about 3 months old I think and her husband (that she married like a month ago) is going to Iraq for like 40 weeks or something. I hope for your sake and for Jade that he doesn't have to go! I'm keeping him in my prayers!!!

Lollie replied: Im so sorry to hear that...I hope that he doesnt have to go...I can only imagine what you must be going through and how afraid you must be.

Pls let us know what happens....

~HUGS~

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I love you guys. Thank you so much I'm over here in tears. You guys are the greatest. No sleep wasn't very easy for me last night. At this moment we have no idea when he would have to go if he is chosen. he doesn't even know when the decision will be made. He got back from his last little thing about 6 months ago. That was only a class for his job. This will be so much worse. Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts. I will keep all of you posted about this. I am hoping that he will know more by tonight.

Jamison'smama replied: Just read this and am so sorry. You are in my thoughts!!

3_call_me_mama replied: I hope he doesn't get picked! I'll be thinking of you guys!! A very good friend of mine got news last week that her husband is getting sent to Afghanistan on the 18th of november for what they said will be 18 months! She is a WRECK, they just got married on sept 11 and had very little idea that he would even be considered to go cause he's in guards. I pray for all of you with family in the military.

jdkjd replied: Ugh! I can't even imagine how worried you are.

Sending NO Overseas Vibes~~~~~~~~~~~~
