Hubby's cool coworker got an invitation from the DOD. To Iraq. |
|
Merry frickin christmas.
He should be out out out untouchable mid-next year. He will probably out on rotation.
The last one of hub's coworkers (okay, employees) to go is back now, & seems well. A secretary's son is back and is not well -- evidently his small group was ambushed, was within inches of certain death, and escaped only to accidentally run down a child (or two?), the memory of which is making him INSANE, and oh, btw, he's been RECALLLED for another rotation...
ps Agent Mike: you may spy on my posts all you freaking want. Be glad I turned down West Point's recruiters (look it up--1977) and leave me alone. Think of the problems if I HAD gone and be glad for small favors. lol

Is he a West Point captain, class of 1998? Specifically, is he an Engineer officer?

2. Running over small children - Memories to last a lifetime. |

3 people from your husband's company. Geeze. I think the latest ones called up will be going to Iran or Syria, though.

3. What a depressing post... |

I can't wait until Iraq is democratic and peaceful with long grassy fields of wild flowers as far as the eye can see and birds chirping and deer frolicking...(sorry, now I have to say these things for fear that I'll get deported).
