Well my older son is in premob training for his next deployment. After 17 years we were all hoping he might get through the last 3 of his contract without another. However he is the ncoic of his aviation unit and a flight medic so we all knew it was a possibility. It's kind of funny for me looking at him as "the boss" but from what I hear he takes really good care of his soldiers/medics.
Not sure if they'll do some kind of virtual departure ceremony or what. He thought perhaps the helos would do a fly-by for the families though he'd love to see his soldiers get a little more family time than doing the virtual thing. To be determined. He has a new commanding officer and is getting along so far. They recently had a good sit down according to him so fingers crossed it stays that way.
The hard part will be on his wife who will be at home with a 1,3 and 7 yr old. Since I'm still working I can only help on weekends. Her mother is rather elderly and really can't help much.
As an aside he did score expert with the new Sig M17. He really likes it though like his old man he'll always be a 1911 guy at heart LOL.
As always please keep our service members in your thoughts, thanks.
