My husband was in the Navy for 9 years. His homecoming was often delayed a day or two for who knows what reason! Sometimes they were delayed by several days because some big wig wanted a ride on a submarine!

Having your 1 year deployment in a war zone extended by 25 percent just might be a little different than a ship tying up in its home port a day or so late.

Can you point me to the place in the contract where deployments are limited to one year?

I'll be honest. I was real pissed to find out hubby was late coming home because of some self important blowhard congressman!

But late because we're at war and he's needed? That's the kind of thing WE signed up for.
