Being in the military community, you quickly discover how quick the military is to say something and not follow through. However, sometimes missions follow suit without a hitch and don't ever look back! Sadly enough, we are stuck in the middle of the battle between mission and man.
Yesterday morning, Nathan was informed of a possible det. (detachment) to Haiti. There is a tropical storm moving friskily through the Caribbean as I type this, and what the effects on the countries surrounding the storm will be, is still undetermined. If the storm chooses the Haiti path, Nathan will be on a flight there by Sunday. If the damage isn't too severe, he will then return home just in time for Thanksgiving and he will have enough time to spare some attic climbing to help me with the Christmas decorations! lol But as for now, the storm is set for Haiti, and the damage is determined to be detrimental. If they send him out to the Caribbean, and the mission lasts for longer than a week or two, they will be keeping him there until the next mission comes around. What does that mean for us civilian folk? Deployment goes from 8 to 10 months, and he ends up leaving now instead of the first week of December. Hmmm...
As of right now, the tears are flowing and the kids are rising from sleep. Ill be leaving you all with the hope of a prayer and the understanding that times are hard. Please keep in mind all of the soldiers that fight for your right for me to give you this information! Enjoy your families today and be greatful for the fact that they are there and kickin! Happy Wednesday everyone!!
