helo pilot cfi	i sympathize with you, having been there myself (critically wounded) i understand the uncertainties that got thru your mind, the near thought alone is unimaginable unless been there he will be fine and always trust in God to deliver him to you with a sound body and mind as he left,understand that no matter how careful one is its a war zone just trust in god and his fellow soldiers, nothing you can do will alleviate your pain and worries but a simple walk alone in the park will help specially knowing God is there to listen and look into your heart Semper FI Was this answer helpful to you?

proud mom of 2 girls	It is natural to feel shaken and worried. Don't be overbearing with it, he doesn't need anymore distractions than he already has. He is fortunate that it hit his kevlar, but even more fortunate that he has a woman waiting in the rear for his safe return. Reassure him that you miss him and love him and are waiting for him to come home. Your support and love is the best medicine for him now. Thank you for being so supportive of him, and thank him for being a brave man. In the meantime, spend some time with your family and friends to make the time pass by until he comes home. Have yourself a good cry, it never hurt anyone. I will pray for his safe return. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tpurtygrl	Ahh sweetie don't worry he will be home soon. I'm glad he is doing ok. Just try to think of the positive and stay focused on his homecoming. If can go out and do things to keep your mind off of it. I made my fiance a scrapbook to help keep my mind off of things and stay positive. I wish you the best. (((hugs))) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ASoldiersWife	Keep in mind the strenght that he counts on from you and use that. My husband is in Iraq he was able to come home for 10 days that's when we were married it hasn't even been a month. And everyday I worry. All i pray for is a normal life with the man I fell in love with. But those are the risk when you fall in love with a soldier. Just continue to have faith. Pray about it and know in your heart he's going to come home safely and he will.. Good luck to you and thanks for reminding me to Love my Military husband just that much more cause it's really serious over there. And please be glad he was able to call you and tell you about it.. And you get to keep looking forward for that phone call that it seems like took him forever since the last time you talked... Support our Troops............. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

firefighter bound	Hey it is ok that you are worried. I have been to Iraq. The best way to calm yourself down is one not to watch the news, they pretty much only cover the bad things. Two try and go out and have some fun the more that you are at home the more you think about what could happen. But you have to look at it by what religion you are that if it was his time then he would have been taken. But someone was looking out for him. I wish you the best of luck and he will be ok. They have alot of protective gear for them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Roadkill	I've got a brother and a nephew over there right now. I try to keep in mind there's a better chance of getting killed in a car wreck over here. I'd also think he dodged his bullet. Glad to hear he was OK. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brand X	I don't know what the odds are of his getting wounded/killed are but when you express your concern/worry for him, don't lay it on so much that he might compromise his behavior. He's on a mission and needs to be able to carry it out. Good luck to him. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dan Beckmann	Ah yes... War is a cruel thing. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's there with some of the best friends he'll ever make. I remember when my buddy was shipped out last January, I was kind of worried. But he writes and he's fine and having a blast. Says he hasn't seen a death since he got there. And he's coming home in October. Try not to worry, it's not quite as bad out there as one would picture it. :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fin	Stop worrying! When my husband was gone and getting shot at and I was at home being pregnant I went through the same thing. Every time the doorbell rang I started to cry. There is nothing you can do. Just keep telling yourself he is going to be home in ___days, he knows his job, and he loves me. Try it go ahead..He is going to be home in __days, he knows his job and he loves me. It always made me feel better. Do you know any of his friends he is deployed with? You can also try Rob (that's his friends name) has his back...that one made me feel better to. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

onewikkedwoman	Call up a friend or even better, call a military spouse to talk with. I am a military wife and my husband has been deployed to Iraq 2 times, getting ready to return for his 3rd tour. I can relate to your fears. The good news is He CALLED!! In injury situations, it is great news that the soldier calls and not someone else. Your boyfriend is ok honey! He will be home in 8 weeks!! (It is always easier for me to think in terms of weeks...it just sounds sooner than months) Please Email me if you would like to talk. Hang in there, THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

I_love_my_soldier	My huband was also in Iraq for a year and I worried about him and prayed and prayed all the time, my husband always insisted he was fine and not to worry and he came home ok. A little messed up mentally, but who would expect him not to be.... Just throw your self into a project. Thats what got me through the year. I got a full time job, started taking classes, bought a new puppy, and saved all the money I could. I was so busy I barely noticed days flying by. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mr.Been there	Don't spend so much time checking the clock. Tomorrow will come no matter what you do. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Reba K	The military has banned soldiers from buying "dragon skin" which is better armor. It's made from a strong metal and moves like fish scales. The gear covers major arteries in the head, shoulders and groin areas. It also covers the rib area under the arms and is very lightweight. The military allows the soldiers to buy many things but won't let them buy this for some odd reason. Some soldiers are gerry rigging pieces of approved gear to what they are already wearing so that it covers more of their body. Maybe he could do that? Also, getting involved with groups who can write letters to the military about this will make you feel more empowered. Best of luck!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Leogirl0804	Stay busy. We are so fortunate or unfortunate now days with technology. I guess it's how you look at it. In the old days you waited weeks for a letter. Now you know what happened yesterday without the cost of even a stamp. If he says he's fine, believe him. He's the professional. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

scarlettt_ohara	Try to get a friend or relative to go on a long walk in a park with you. While you out walking tell them how you feel. When you get home try to watch a real good movie or read a good book that grabs your attention and keeps your mind of it. Drink some warm milk with honey before going to bed. Take some deep breaths all along. You got real scared and that is traumatic. It can induce anxiety. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lotus Phoenix	Count yourself lucky. A lot of lovers and spouses have buried their loves. It will take time to calm down. You should be upset, someone you loved was shot, in another country, in a war zone, in a place where at least 40 people die everyday. Stay with friends and family until you feel alright - could be next week sometime before you're really calm. Good luck and many blessings to you both. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lea	I am sure you are shaken.... I guess just look at it like this.. Thousands of people are dying everyday in a car wreck and he is still alive and well.. He is heavily armed and I am sure with 2 months left he is on guard. I will pray that he is fine and well protected in Iraq. Lets pray that angels surround him in Jesus name.

Scott K	It's okay to be worried, because he is in a war zone, but additional worrying won't help you, and it won't help him. If you have a good relationship with your boyfriend, then you have to trust him when he says that he is okay. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
