As most of you know, Mike is on the deployment list. In a nut shell ( if you want to read the whole story go to mike page its called " cats out of the bag" His web address is mjmarugg.blogspot.com ) his boss is trying to keep him here and of course he does not want to go as well. We have been in limbo since Oct? I think it is. It has been "your going, now your not, your going, no your not" and so on and so forth. All the while mike has been working on trying to transfer to a different unit that is not deploying. That got denied. Mike was offered a job this month, a position that would mean he would belong to recruiting as of now he belongs to an infantry unit. Its a position from what I understand is non-deployable. He has to pass a board and a PT test which he has been working hard on. But of course there is a catch... The troops are scheduled to leave on April 6th the board is scheduled for April 9th. Yesterday recruiting higher ups had a meeting with mikes unit higher ups about him not deploying. We were expecting to here word sometime yesterday and of course nothing so far.
I am on edge. I'm uneasy, and extremely nervous. At this point I want to know ether way. The deployment is only a couple of weeks away and I want to know do I continue on as normal? do I prepair myself and my family for mike to be gone? How do I spend these next few weeks? I don't know. This is defiantly a test of faith for me right now. I must say I am really having a hard time with this. I don't show it and I don't want to talk or think about it. God is that only thing that seems to keep me sane right now. I know that he has a plan and whatever that plan is its for his purpose.
I don't know when we will hear the official word. It may be the day before the troops are supposed to leave. In the mean time PLEASE, PLEASE keep up in your prayers.
Thank you all for your love and support. I don't know what I would do or where I would be with out my friends or family.
