now for something that i have been holding off on talking about on here. i wanted to wait to see if it was going to go through...
this wednesday (july 6th) adam is leaving for blount island in florida. he is going for training and then on sunday (july 10th) he will drive to camp lejeune in jacksonville, nc and he'll be there all week. and then on saturday (july 16th) he will fly out to dubai and spend the night there and then he'll head to afghanistan. he is going over there to be a civilian contractor and he'll be doing the exact same job he did in the marine corps (diesel mechanic) working for the marine corps as a civilian.
he will be overseas for about 6 months at a time and then he will come home for a couple weeks and we are looking at him doing 2 years over there... it'll be 2 years for the rest of our lives.
please keep him in your thoughts and prayers - and i will keep you all updated as well.

wow. what a big step! But I know you'll be able to do it! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers! Will you have Skype available? My friend's husband did something similar over there for just short of 2 years & he's now home. If you want me to introduce you to her, she's on facebook & I'm sure she'd love to talk with you too. :o) *hugs*
ReplyDeleteDo you mean after this two years, he'll be home for good, or do you mean he'll do this every two years? Keep us posted on how things are going for him and you. I have a friend from high school who just left for Iraq as a contractor. He'll be there for a year. Prayers for all of you!
ReplyDeleteluci - he'll do 2 years and then be home (although he does get to come home every 6 months for about 2 weeks)
