[size 2] Those long tour of duties are killer on families[unsure] Unfortunatley sometimes people cannot handle being away from each other and slip up. I am glad not to hear that happening alot.[/size]
[size 2] My tour was very short and I was unmarried and no kids at time. My friend in the Navy just got back from over there after 2 years on and off a ship.[/size]
[size 2] Just when he was close enough to see the California coast they were told they had to anchor out because of the fires.[/size]
[size 2] He said several sailors were ready to jump ship and swim in! Thankfully the Navy had small transports to take them in[cool][/size]
[size 2] But he missed the birth of his first child which killed him and her first 2 birthdays. He is still have trouble dealing with that[unsure][/size]
[size 2] I pray every night for the safe and speedy return of our troops from over there and pray for stregneth and understanding for those families who loved ones are overseas.[/size]
