Surprise phone calls from my Mighty Marine....

Your rational mind would tell you "he's going overseas with a bunch of well armed, well trained Marines, working for a group that knows far better than us civilians what possible dangers lurk overseas and will do their best to keep him out of harms way."

He is among other Marines and we watch each others backs . He will be fine , Semper Fi , Gunny

My Marine called last night, it was certainly good to hear his voice. In the background I could hear the voices of all of his other squad mates calling family as well, it felt kind of reassuring to me. Reassuring in the fact that my boy wasn't going through this all alone, their voices were proof that they are all part of this process and every one of them were going through the same things as he. Their parents? Going through the same emotional roller coaster as me. He will be off to his occupational schooling in three days, infantry is now under his belt, but he also told me he will be going overseas once his occupational schooling is done. My heart sank.... "No" "Yes Ma" "No, I don't want you overseas" "I'm going overseas Ma" He doesn't know just where yet, he just knows he's going. My irrational mind is screaming at me, how can I protect him when he's an ocean away?? My rational mind is completely silent. I hate it when my rational mind doesn't speak up. My irrational thoughts have a way of consuming me.
