Yesterday, Airman _finally_ left for the Middle East. 'Bout time, too, considering how long he’s been waiting to go. He’d been told that he needed to report at 7:30 a.m. Then, at about 3:00 a.m., he got a call that said no, the flight was postponed 'til Thursday. Since we had one foot out the door when we checked voice mail, Airman was not happy. At lunch, I checked my e-mail. The news was, well, acceptable. Airman was to report at 8:30 at night, which he did. We were allowed to stay until he had to report for some briefing. Neither of us wanted to say goodbye, but this is not forever. At any rate, we don’t know how long he’s going to be deployed. With any luck, it’ll be short and he’ll be home soon. That’s what we’re both hoping for, anyway. Robin ---

Is he going to be actually in the planes while they are dropping bombs or on the ground as part of support? As a side note what can we do (other than pay taxes) to support our boys in the field. Do they need GPS units like in Desert Storm?What can we do to support them in the field? ---
