please be in prayer for him and us as he is away from us and his wife

thanks for the prayers folk,however Bruce has bed put out of the army on an EXISTING TO PRIOR SERVICE discharge

He blew a knee in high school and had to have surgery on it(I never thought they would let him join the army)however with his Dr.reports in hand they let him in,4 weeks in he popped his kneee out of joint twice and was having troubles with the run during the PT test,so he went to medical and they decided to discharge him

again thanks for your prayers and continue to do so as he is now job searching

Oh, I know that feeling. I was so torn when our oldest left that I couldn't even take him to the drop off point. I had to say goodbye from the front door as it felt more like he'd be back in a few hours or something. I'm such a weenie sometimes... DH took him, he said it was hard for him, too.

Send lots of letters and packages. They live for those when trapped in basic.
