My son is back in the US!

Scott came home from Afghanistan yesterday. Of course, he called when I was in class, but I had talked to him Monday (when he called at 4:30 AM to wish me a belated Mother's Day
).
This was his 5th deployment, 3d to the middle east, in 7 years. He is now transferring to Special Forces, although he will still be an intelligence specialist. With one year left in his enlistment, I have doubts that he will choose to leave at this point. Hopefully, DIL will convince him that being separated for 7 months at a time isn't the recipe for happiness and that it's time to move on and go back to school.2015 Trek Silque SSL

I'm so glad he's home, Crankin. What a relief that must be. Let's hope he stays stateside for a while now.

You must be very happy to have him home. I can't imagine having my son in that same situation.
