Not yet. I hope to be able to get in touch with him tomorrow some time. SO, I have no idea how he is handling it - but he entered the army knowing there was a war going on in Iraq. He can't be surprised.
My brother is worried, but he's a military guy, so. . .
Do you think it would be wrong of me to remind him that he doesn't have to go if doesn't want to? I mean, the consequences would be rough, but he could just not do it. . .
What are his options, legally? Can he still back out? I don't think it's wrong of you to remind him, as long as you do it with full respect for his final choice. Young people tend to take poorly to even the hint of someone older telling them what choice to make.
Does he know what his MO is yet? Not that one is safer than the other these days...but if he's part of the marching band at least you'd worry less. That's if you're worrying at all?
