As a parent, having their only child going to Afghanistan is very difficult.

One day at a time.

Best of luck to you both. It must be hard to have your only child in that position, I can only imagine....

Six year Vet here.
I joined in 2002 at the kickoff of the war, I remember the look on my mothers face before I hopped on that plane.
I can only imagine a precious daughter whom you raised.

God Bless you and your family!

Certainly do appreciate the well wishes and thoughts. SVTP has always been a class place.

Mother and I couldn't be more proud of what she has accomplished. It only seems like yesterday I was watching her swearing in.

Couldn't have joined a better service. (well maybe) :beer: Will keep her, your wife and you in our thoughts and prayers. Thank her for her service and thank you for you and your wife's support. It means a lot.

Just noticed the irony of my post count for this particular post... 911:-D

it's natural for a parent to be worried...but you can take some comfort knowing she'll probably never set foot off the FOB. do you know what her MOS is?

I know it's very hard, Rick, watching her leave. But your pride in her service to her country coupled with her desire to do this, should make it a tad easier. I will be praying for her. I know she'll be fine. And just imagine the emotional high when she returns. She's doing her country and her parents proud!
