Sadly, I am with you on not wanting the phone to ring, I have a son Christopher who is in the SBCT. Like you I am extremely proud of him and scared. I feel bad because even if my phone does not ring, 3 phones will. Freedom is not cheap when you have to lose a love one. Pray for all our soldiers and don't forget people like Mile Gilbert See#47 who risk their life to inform all of us at home.

Those families will NOT receive a phone call. They will be personally visited by an Army Chaplain and some other same-branch (Army OR Navy in my wife's case) people that are equipped to assist them in dealing with the loss.
They don't do "the telegram", "the phone call" or even now, "the email". There will be a face-to-face notification. As it should be.
May God bless and comfort those affected.

To you both, welcome to FR. We'll all hang in there together. Prayers for cousin (Pokey) and son (sbct)!
We ask the Lord's blessings on ALL our youngsters serving tonight.
