It was a pretty intense weekend as we had to wait to get word from the baby brother as to if he was okay, in light of the weekend crash of a US Army CH-47 Chinook, the same aircraft Nick pilot.
Hours later we heard his voice over a very poor telephone connection, much to our relief.
His mother won’t be happy until he gets back for his two week leave back here in the states mid-month.
Great to hear that Nick will be back later this month!
My brother inlaw wont be returning till May.
While February marks the one year mark for Nick, I’m not sure when he’ll be back permanently.
I’ve already heard about talk at the higher command levels that there’s no real return orders until at least 2005.
