Canuck223 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 My brother-in-law should be making his way home from Bagram Air Base as I type. This is the end of Jim's second combat deployment. He was kicking in doors in Bagdad in the initial invasion as a Lt. On this tour, he was a chairborne ranger in Afghanistan, riding herd at Bagram Air Base as a Captain. Our sister kept his deployment orders secret from all but her father until after thier daughter was born. She is ex-military, turning in her Captains uniform for a wedding dress. Jim was able to get permission to deploy late with his men to be with Charlotte for the birth of thier first child. The were able to move up the christening from the standard 6 months to 3 so he could be there. Being a base rat, he's had internet access, so he's been able to read to his daughter via a webcam. We're hoping his return trip is smooth, and that he get's along well with his new " Base Commander". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
