Who has family serving overseas? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I never run into anyone who has family serving overseas. I was a military brat, and almost every man in my family has served. I currently have family over there in the 82nd Airborne.

Let me know if you have someone over there.

My nephew (Army helicopter pilot) is on his way to Iraq. I think his brother just came back.

I work for the National Guard full time and I have 5 co-workers over their right now and another 5 heading over there in Feb. Some of them are closer than family.

My cousin was in Kuwait for like 8 months, but this was before the actual fighting started against Iraq. He's in the Army National Guard as a Medic.

Yeah, my Brother-in-law (sisters husband). He's been bassed in Germany for a couple years. He's in intelegence and specializes in arabic languages. Somehow he has dodged Iraq allthouyg he has been seent over to Kuwait (sp) a couple times. My sister lives on base and not enlisted.

He was supose to be getting done with his tour in April and oming home. Just before Thanksgiving they told him tough chit your going to Iraq in Feb and you will be there a year. So we are worried about it.

With his Language background he figures they will have him up front and proably at a place like the one that was bombed over the weekend doing interveiwing and interogation.

I'm a little worried about his safety. I'm hoping he doesn't end up on the streets doing patrol and is kept back in a little more controled enviorment.

no family, but 1/3 of my unit is over there and there is a good chance i will be as well.

Grim Reaper,

They won't use him for patrol. He is too valuable with his language capabilities.

If that is the nature of his work, I wouldn't share it with everyone.

Thanks for the replies. I hope everyone stays safe over there.

My broter-in-law is over there as well. It will be a year next month. God willing, he will be back at the end of next month after his year is up.
