Kuwait is good. My son was deployed with the WI ARNG to Camp Arifjan, and the SPOD. He complained it was boring. I said boring is good. He ate and lifted weights and came home in fantastic shape. Best wishes for your son.

That's what my son did, he's gotten a little fatter since he came back.

One son in Ukraine 1SG, One son in Afghanistan 1SG. Not the first time for either by a long shot. Currently doing my part as with FRG trying to keep families informed of those serving with the one Afghanistan . Just finished sending out 250 emails. It is not what they wanted to hear but they got all that we have for now. The US is not the only place the virus showed up.

Tough with no movement order in place. Many people can’t PCS, redeploy, etc.

It’s especially hard for the spouses holding down the fort with homeschooling and the virus going around (grocery shopping, no play dates). Can’t even have their extended family over from other states to help out in fear of getting them sick.

Fight thru!

Just finished sending out notices to 150 families their soldiers are back on US soil . They will be spending about 20 days total before release as of now subject to change.

The Army through One source and other agency's have that covered pretty good. They put a lot of resource on the table to help with that . Also professionals to help deal with being cooped up with the kids 24/7. In the last month referred a few that need help.
If you know of any Solder on title 10 orders that has family in need someone is not doing their job. Have them start here and also reach out to the chain of command there is plenty of help. This is not 30 years ago.
