This time he's a gunner on one of those Hum-ves (sp?). O.K., that makes sense...let's put a guy who is 6' 7" on TOP of a tank so he can shoot people. Can you say moving target? At least he was in a safer vehicle last time. They put him in this position because he is an "expert marksman". Whoopie.

 Already been praying for him dear. Sorry you have to make that trip by

last time he shipped out.

I just found out that Neal leaves for Iraq on the 10th and Robert cannot
go. He HAS to be at a convention in Dallas (new client he is in charge
of). So I'll be flying out there solo. Bummer. Fighting the fear and
depression today....from now on I cannot watch the news. It just gives me
panic attacks when they talk about an Oklahoma soldier dying over there, or 
more bombs killing people. Ughhhh.

Perfectly normal and understandable. And hello, how many people have
spoiled llamas, racoons and etc.? That's just you and critters. Sounds
like you have another Cool Chicken. Awesome.
