That about covers it. There are advantages to the new unit and as long as he stays home, I'll be fine with it.

Hey, Bel
There are a couple of ways to look at change. I'm like you in the sense that I find that change can often be a pain in the A. You've got a groove going and then it shakes up. On the other hand, change can be exciting and bring new things. Since this particular change in your life seems to be irreversible, I would go for option 2. I get what you're thinking, though. Option 2 is okay as long as it doesn't involve Iraq again...

Bel,
Having been away from my husband for several months now, I can say I share your misery with it. Keep us posted!

bel,
haven't been around much, and have commented less, since things are a bit awkward at the moment, but I thought I'd wish you the best of luck, and especially with your writing endeavors, as per your Aug 23 post! Excellent idea, you write very well, and I'm sure you'll make a positive contribution and a real difference!

Bel, I'm sorry that you future is so "up in the air". You probably will make it fine as you seem to be such a strong woman, but it is too bad that you have to deal with it. Good luck.

In the end what it boils down to is that he doesn't trust the other unit with his life. If they go back into combat as much as I would hate the mission of this unit, I trust their ability.

I keep looking for the silver lining in all of this. I am sure there is one someplace!

Bel, that's a lot to deal with, moving on top of Carl's re-assignment
I can't imagine what you must be feeling about his enlisting and having a higher risk of going back again. I'm not sure I understand Carl's reasons. Moving is hard enough. I'm not looking forward to that, but adding the worries over Carl's re-assignment, that's a load. I guess all you can do is take it one day at a time. Deal with what you can first.

Bel, Change can be a good thing...try to embrace it.
Of course there are good poiints and bad ones. But focus on the good and you'll be fine. So will Carl.
