Oh, **Shodan** , that’s excellent. I was reading the first page of this thread, noted the date on those posts, and was a little scared to see what the update might be. I’m so glad it’s good news.

Do you know - is his deployment over, or is there another one in his future? Or like **Elendil’s Heir** said, how long is he home?

Make sure he stays safe, OK?

Thank you to all for the good wishes.

He is scheduled for Afghanistan next year (2011), but nothing is sure with the Army.

That’s not sure either - he is planning a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras with his buddies. :eek:
