My son heads out next month for training then off to IA duty in Afghanistan in July. Not sure what to expect so any advice you all have, please share.

Welcome to our new IA moms!  My son is headed back to the stan, but this time not as an IA.  Ugh.

Hi everyone, I haven't posted here in a long while. My daughter has been GSA to Djibouti in the Horn of Africa since last May. She was only supposed to be there for 6 months, but extended for an additional 6 months so she'll be stateside in a couple more months and then reports to a ship in San Diego and deploys again for 7 months. Hope everyone's sailors are safe:-)

But who in the Army?  They were National Guard out of NY.  We tried finding someone there to sign off and couldn't find anyone.  The Navy will not push it through without certain signatures.  It's been three years now.

Ruth it was the same here every IA and GSA is under the Army command and the Navy can push them through, So maybe work with the Army and see

I have to add that the Navy can't do anything about it because he was with the Army command when he hit the IED.

Lauren, the Army is the reason my son doesn't have his.  They "lost" all the paperwork.  Recently a Navy doctor did some checking and found out that one month of my son's medical records don't exist--the month that he was injured.  The Army didn't file anything.  Fortunately, we have copies so more hassle, but eventually we'll get them into his records so maybe he'll be awarded.

Lauren, I'm so glad he's back and safe!  Did you know about the purple heart?  We've never talked about it that I remember.  We're still trying to get our son's for him.  So where does he head now?
