Having a son in transit is almost as bad as having a son in Iraq.
The last message I got from my son the soldier was on April 22nd. He said the Army was "80% sure" he would be flying out of Iraq on May 2nd for his mid-tour leave. If not then, it would be the next day.
So here I am, never far from a telephone, waiting for a call from my world traveler.

It would be worrisome. Hope he can call soon!
It must be really stressful; hope you find out soon. x
Go to the Department of Defense and demand that he be fitted with a collar housing a GPS tracking device.
I hope you hear from him soon.
Kate and Miss M, thanks.
Simon - silly. I'm sure the government has already implanted something under his skin. But only THEY have access to the information.
they're not real considerate of parents in these situations are they?...I guess it's all for a good reason.....I hope
I hope that the resolution of this as speedy as his flight home
yacky, the only time I've found the Army to be considerate was when my father passed away. And even then, the Red Cross was involved. So maybe they were shamed into it.
Lerm, actually, I hope he has a long layover in Germany...long enough to enjoy a few beers, at least.
Can you make a friend who can gie you some better intel?
We can keep fairly good track if we keep our mouths shut.

Bobby, and those of you who might be wondering - he arrived safely yesterday morning about 11:30. It's good to have him home.
Ah. How dreadful. {SHEESH}.
Hopefully by the time you're reading this you've received news.
I hope you have found your lad by now!! Please tell us what's going on.
Ok scratch that, I just read your comment below. :D
