    For your peace of mind... there is no fighting in Kuwait. Kuwait is not a war zone. The biggest threat he faces in Kuwait is a training accident or workplace carelessness.

    The worst thing about this is that he will be away from his family for a year. He will be in no more danger in Kuwait than he would be in Mexico.
    He had to travel to other *theaters*, but overall yes, what you wrote is right.

    My bro-in-law is in Chad at the moment on a peace-keeping mission. He's getting on fine and while he hates it, my sister is getting on worse as she is left at home with three kids. The middle child is 2 1/2 and is waking in the middle of the night asking for his Daddy, every time the phone rings he runs for it thinking it could be his Dad, same if the door opens. He misses him a lot. :cry:
    It has probably been the worst year of this family's life. Within their house there is unconditional love just climbing up the walls, they just all mean the world to each other; mommy, daddy, and two daughters. Everyone is a trooper, and yet. . . the day he comes back will be the best day of the year. Thank goodness for Skype. I'm a big Skype fan now.

    Even though I'm a sister-in-law, and not immediate family, I'll be right up there with the families in this video:

    My twin and her daughters should be seeing her husband/their daddy face-to-face in less than a week, and he should be on this side of the pond.

    Yippee! PSYCH! YAY YAY YAY! :)

    Earlier this week, my twin, and their daughters were able to drive to Norfolk to see him. As of last night he's in their own home. This phase of life is done!

    It's a good feeling. I hope the readjustments go well. :)
