Ah, well, then we do have something special in common, don't we? My story, in short form, is that when my son-in-law got his deployment orders, my daughter, who has a degree in criminal science, decided with her husband's encouragement to enlist and go to OCS as a means of jump-starting her career. (This definitely isn't our father's Army, huh?) It was also intended to keep her busy and her mind off worrying about her husband while deployed, though it hasn't worked out that way. Evenso, she has done extremely well, all things considered, and bless his heart, Drew is very proud of his wife, even if she does outrank him. Besides, he's no fool. As I'm sure you know, the benes are signficantly better when one of them is a commissioned officer.
Despite the fact that it has been a tough year, Drew now has a redeployment date that will have him back in Hawaii by year's end, after which both have orders for nondeployable jobs at Ft. Benning. She spoke to him today, and he says they are busier than ever over there. No wonder considering that a lot of the snakes hiding out in Fallujah have moved to other cities. He is an infantry squad leader with the 25th Infantry Division (light) attached to the 1st ID in the Sunni triangle, SW of Kirkuk.
So are your two still in?
