"My son will be deployed soon and also wants to go active when he gets back. Has sent paper work in before but denied. Best to all of you and your sailors. I am also glad to see some more reserve Moms in here. That's great."

He wants to go to Afgahanistan, I think he is working on it, but doesn't talk with me about it. He has had a tough time finding a full time job since he has been home, and has found his "friends" disappointing, so he is having some trouble adjusting to being back.
