For staters, not going would be the safest option.\n\nNext to that, probably keeping a low profile and downplaying the fact that your Americans (assuming you are).\nStay with your group, dont wander off, dont do anything to offend them.

Check with the state Department of Transportation.  Also, check your local phone directory for names of concrete companies.  Have your husband either call or visit them and explain his situation and see if they will give him names of some of their larger clients.  That would be a good place to start.

Anything that he cannot obtain while he is there and things that he may run out of.  My son is in the Middle East too and I am sending him snacks and sugarless gum, a Scrabble Game (the one that is in a small travel case,) for when he gets bored, eye drops, dvd's and cd's for his lap top computer, magazines that I think he will enjoy reading, and Smart Wool socks because he especially likes those because they can keep your feet warm or cool depending upon the weather and are well-cushioned.  I am also going to get him a harmonica even though doesn't know how to play it because he couldn't take his viola with him.  Depending upon where your boyfriend is stationed in Iraq, and what his job is, it may be best to send small items that are easily carried in a knapsack or in pockets as some of these guys are on the move a lot.  When choosing gifts, just keep in mind that he is in a Muslim country so you have to be careful that things that you send are not an insult to that religion; you definately don't want to send any snacks that contain pork or that even say, "bacon flavored." (these were the instructions I was given.)\n     Whatever gift you send to him will be greatly appreciated, but regular letters from you expressing your love and telling of news from home will mean the very most\nto him.  Of course a picture is a good idea but I am not sure I'd send a nude one unless you don't mind other guys seeing it because if your boyfriend somehow lost it, others might see it.

I would say that if your daughter and her husband have an account with USAA then they will help your daughter to get a vehicle in his and her name with out him being here. My husband as well is in Iraq and I ended up getting a new car and I used USAA and they helped me thorough everything. That's the only place that I can think of that really works with the military. I think Wells Fargo is really good at helping with problems like that all so. I hope this help and I hope your son in law returns safe from Iraq.

I have a cousin whose husband was in Iraq when she gave birth to their son. I don't think he was there for the delivery, but did come home for a couple of weeks. He then went back. So in a way, I guess to some extent, yes.

Hi. My husband was in the marine corp. and now he is in the army. You can call or email the USO  or the post office and ask them if they still do care packages for troops. You can go to school/church/or around your community and collect snacks, toiletries, international calling cards, big quantity of items can be sold in Sam's club. for women and men to Iraq. Thank you for thinking of our soldiers and troops. God bless you!

Sorry.  There's nothing you can do...just remember that your husband has made a commitment to his country.  Remember that what he's doing, he's doing for the good of you, your unborn child, and the entire nation.  \n\nHe chose to serve his country - be proud that he has the courage to do so, and pray for his safety.  \n\nThat's all you CAN do.

My daughter e-mailed me everynight and sent me letters and there was the occasional phone call.I have been to Iraq and Afghanistan within a 4 year period so she's use to it.She knows it's my job and wars happen.(She's eleven) and that I love my job. She knows I'll be leaving for my 3rd tour and we are spending a lot of time together. Instead of being negative, cherish every moment with him and help him out. He'll appreciate that and not have to worry about you guys back home but staying focused on his mission so he can come back home to you guys/.

when my uncle was over there up until 3 months ago, i use to send him all kinds of goodies. chocolate, peanuts, jerky, just about anything that doesn't go bad. i'd also send him hygiene stuff, soap, lotion, anti-bacterial stuff, also i know it sounds weird, but lots of q-tips. they use it not only for their ears, but cleaning their weapons. but most of all, letters from home and plenty of pics, and it wouldn't hurt to send disposable cameras either. once you gather everything, go to your local post-office, and let them know you are mailing it to a loved one in iraq, and they will supply a reasonable size box and help you ship it off. make sure his addy is written correctly. it took my uncle about 7 days to get his. good luck, and God Bless our Troops.....

Are they retired? If so, call up a travel agency and see what kind of overnights trips that they have by motorcoach bus where you live.  Any couple would LOVE an overnight getaway!  You could split the cost with siblings and their spouses to save money.  My husband and I do this every year for his parents and they LOVE it.

My brother is midway through his 3rd tour right now. I'm liberal, he's...well... he's "property of the Marines" for the next 7 months, but hopefully he'll snap out of it when he's out of harm's way.  Best wishes to you and your brother.

Not up on Navy tours, but you need to ask if accompanied is possible at that base. If it is, they could tack 1 extra year onto his tour once he marries. Its best for him to speak to someone like his supervisor and find out the correct people to ask.\nI know with Air Force, if I wanted to accompany my husband and it was allowed, they'd just tack an extra year onto his orders and it wouldn't be a big deal. But it all depends on if they are letting family go with him.
