My Son called home today from Afghanistan. Everything I was planning to talk about was forgotten the second I heard his voice, but we still managed to fill every moment. I have always been a worrywart, even when He went away on school trips, so this time that He is over there is especially nerve wracking. All during his call I heard a confidence and sense of duty that surprised Me slightly. He has thouroughly enjoyed his career choice from the first day at St.Jean til now, but I would have expected this to be a rough time for Him as well. However, He tells Me that when they go out it feels "exactly" like the exercises in Texas and Wainright, so its nothing unusual to be nervous about. Obviously it won't always be a walk in the park, but its good to know that the CF prepares these young soldiers accurately and effectively. Maybe, We as parents can worry a little less now.
