Fear of Second Extension

    With everything that has been going on, with all the bad news in the news and the ever increasing number of US deaths, and the talks on revising the plan of action over in Iraq, is there a possiblilty of Our guys getting extended again? for another 4 months or more? I talked to my husband recently ( who is over in baghdad with the 1-17) and he said that he hasn't heard anything and they haven't been told anything about it at all not even a mention, but that doesn't mean that it won't happen. Maybe its just me, though I'm sure its not, but what if they do get extended again?

    If they are extended again, we will do what we always do. Be supportive and loving. None of us have the choice of when they come home. It's in God's hands now. They will be home when they are home. I ask you to be careful of what you post on here, because rumors do start and spread like wildfire. STOP WATCHING THE NEWS, the information you get on there is highly skewed and you shouldn't trust what you hear. I just wait for my soldier to give me my weekly update when he calls. They know what is truly going on. For now think POSITIVE, look at some pictures of your soldier, write him a letter and remember the good times.

    My husband SPC Richard Shipley is also over there with the 2-1 and I understand the fear of a 2nd extention but i really think that everyone is jumping to conclusions about the rumors. The guys have been given Approved leave dates and are about to pack up and come home so i dont think a 2nd extention for our guys will happen but as with this last extention that wasnt planned and handed down at the last minute, we got to be prepared for anything and everything. We are Army Wives, we are the strong woman in the world and the ones who learn to adjust to any situation at the drop of a dime. think possotive and hold your head up, no matter what happens, these guys need us to be strong.
