Good News For Me!

[Dudewado]

My son just got home from Iraq, with nary a scratch.

His 5 year enlistment was 6 months from complete when they sent him over for a year, extending him for an extra 6 months.

I didn't realize how worried I was until I felt a huge weight lift as he landed in Savannah.

He has re-enlisted for 3 more years. The good news is, he will be stationed at Ft. Meade in Maryland and will not be deployed again.

He is trained as a Persian Farsi language specialist, and will be in the same building as his wife, who is a civilian now, and works for an "agency that shall not be named."

They gave him $17,000 tax free, and will let him attend school during his 3 years. Amazing how they grow up!
