I was confused at the beginning of this thread too but now I understand and this is really good news all the way around. Bri is going to school and getting a good education and since basic is being put off so long she won't be deployable in this sticky Iraq situation. That was my big fear when you posted about her joining the national guard. Whew! I never realized I'd worry about other DIS'ers kids when I first started posting on the CB but that's exactly what has happened.
