Chinadoll, I'm in shock and I don't know what to say except I'm sorry you have to go through this. My partner is in the Navy and while his risk of being called up is low, it's a niggling fear in the back of my mind. I am really feeling for you right now.

I hope Joey has access to communication and can e-mail and talk to you as often as possible to help you both through this. I know everyone says it's part of a soldier's duty blah blah blah, but it doesn't make it any easier when the call comes through to be posted to a possible war zone. We are thinking of you both and wishing for a speedy end to any conflict so Joey and all the other troops return safely {{{hugs}}}
