Knottie Vibes needed!!
So, long story short.....
Josh's BFF, Jay, enlisted in the army (with 1 semester left of college...) and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan for 4 years. He finished about a year and a half ago from the army.
Last week, he got a call saying he's being redeployed. EVEN THOUGH he finished his 4 years, they're calling him back. He's supposed to leave January 17th - meaning he's going to miss our wedding (and be gone for up to a year...).
Josh is devastated. We all are.. we thought his time away was over.
SO, Jay is appealing - he's actually going through a divorce right now (very sad...) and needs to attend some court meetings for it, etc. We're hoping the appeal goes through and he doesn't have to go - we love him for serving our country and doing amazing things, but we want him to stay with us in the states. He's a groomsmen and we're not going to replace him - we decided if he does, we'll still include him on everything (the program, etc) and we'll make a donation to a veteran's hospital or something.
Sorry so long - knottie vibes he gets to see us get married, thanks girls!
Re: Knottie Vibes needed!!
I have a very dear friend of mine in the army, and she's been called twice for deployment, but at the last min. they don't send her. So hopefully, worse case scenerio something like this happens. I've also heard that if he shows up on base when he's scheduled to, he can plead his case and they can let him stay, reschedule his deployment, etc.
I really hope everything works out.
Hope everything works out for you and him!
HUGS!
I hope his appeal works and he gets to stay home with you guys.
Knottie Vibes!
I really hope the appeal turns out in his favor and I hope they end up cancelling the need for him.
Do you know why they would call him back even though he served his term? I don't get that. I would think he wouldn't legally *have* to go
Thanks for the support ladies!!
I guess apparently for 3 years after you are done, you're consider on reserve..
Obama wants to end the war so he is sending 30,000 additional troops which means they are calling up people that were finished.
knottie vibes!!
