My wife just called and told me that our son is going to Kuwait, not Iraq. He will be assigned to his Captain as a personal aide and driver. He will have a rather normal schedule and a will be able to attend college online while he is stationed in Kuwait. I got to talk to him for about 20 minutes before he went back to the hotel. He does not feel overly well and thinks some sleep will help. Here is his schedule:
Leaves Weslaco tomorrow at 3 AM...destination, Fort McCoy, WI. He will spend 4-6 weeks training there, then he gets 5 days off. He hopes to go to WV to visit his grandmother at that time.
He then heads to Kuwait and will be there 6 months before he gets any time off. After his time off he will return to finish his tour in Kuwait.
I am very relieved that he will not be in a combat zone.
Btw, the event was captured on local KRGV-TV in Weslaco. Here is the link.
He is behind the flag...you cannot see his face. Oh well, it is still nice to see the rest of him!
Thank you God!
