Sad Day

My Brother-in-law (Dax) is off today for his 6 weeks of training before being deployed to Iraq. It was a rough weekend for our family, especially my sister. He will be back for a few days in early September before heading over to Iraq for 12 months. We expect him back in the States sometime in October 2007.

Good news is that his job is to monitor activity. So he basically sits in front of a computer all day. So he won't actually be doing any fighting. So, chances are good that he will stay safe, but it is war and he will be in a pretty unstable area, so you never know. Therefore, if anyone has any extra prayers they can send out to keep him safe, they will be greatly accepted.
