like was stated previously..it depends on many factors.  Current average boots on ground is 12 months, although that doesn't necessarily mean they will be 'home' after that.  there will be a standdown period that may or may not be at their home  base.

depends.  If stationed somewhere like Korea. you have DEROS (date of estimated return from overseas). then PCS ( permenant change of station). If you were "deployed" to say Iraq or Afghanistan for a mission, when its time to come home. there are several terms that can be used. recalled, withdrawn, redeployed, return to base, going home, back to the real world, charlie mike(completed the mission), I cant recall the official opposite of "deployed", cause we never used it.

I'm in Iraq right now. Me being on here should give you an idea of what I'M doing...nothing. What's it like? HOT! Alot of people do have it pretty rough over here though, but I wouldn't say the majority have it all that bad. It just sucks being away from home for so long. I don't think it's really getting better. They're gonna fight us as long as we're here.

that is hoping for to much, my man is deploying in march, and 3 other neighbors in may 2007 all in different units. this wont happen until a vote is cast on a specific date etc... however how about pray for the safety of our troops more? that is always appreciated, even by the people who dont believe in God. (sorry)

Friday, before i asked my Master Sgt. for orders to deploy to Iraq for 8 months.  Or Monday, when i watched video of a funeral from Iraq.  Or Monday afternoon when saw a Marine with a cast on from Iraq.  \n\nProbably not enough.

It really is amazing how many people you find in the Army that are willing to go out of their way for you, I guess that is why `they joined up. It is one of the biggest things I miss about being in. And rizzo822002, thank you and keep your head down.

I was married for a year when my husband was deployed to Iraq for a year.  I know alot of women go home to stay with family but I stayed at our duty station.  My advice would be get involved with alot of activities (FRG, spouses clubs,volunteer for daycare programs, etc), work alot and find a few close friends.  My husband came  home for two weeks RnR after 6 months of deployment. The time went by alot faster than I thought it would.  Good luck to you.

21-24. Most of them are fresh out of college, and there is generally an automatic time in service promotion at 18 months active army and 24 months reserve/NG to 1LT. I'm a 2LT in the Army and I'm considered kind of old at 24.

As a soldier, I am getting sick of not seeing my spouse. We have been seperated for 14 months. We both serve - him in Afghanistan and myself to Iraq. That being said, being in Iraq and seeing it first hand, I know that we cannot pull troops out of Iraq until stability is reached and the Iraqi government can sustain themselves. Unfortunately this will take years.

The few Iraqi people that i have meet. \nHave been ordinary people who just want their country to have peace. \nthey want the chance to rebuild their country, to live in freedom and security, \nSome thing which they have not had the chance to do since Saddam. \nThe few i have meet told me they don't mind the western soldiers being there, until the time is right for the Iraqi people to take over. \nif the insurgence will leave them to get on with it.

I joined the Army in 1991, and served for 4 years. My brother is in Iraq right now. What have you ever done for this country?

Being in the Army, I found that home is where your heart is. We get deployed for a year or more and get sent to foreign countries and you learn to make the best of where your at. You are forced to meet new people and to make friends, but when it comes down to it, after all we go through together we start to become family in a sense. So no matter where I go I always have family which to me means home is where your heart is. If that makes any sense....

My husband is currently in Iraq on his 2nd tour..He calls when he can I understand he's busy over there..you just have to have faith and be positive..I find myself angry at him when he says he'll call but then does'nt I tell myself "when he calls again he's gonna get it" LOL but when he finally does I'm just so thankful he called and is ok therefor i totally forget about him not calling and I'm not upset with him anymore.Your cousins are fine,I'll be praying for them and for their safe return as I do for all of the service members deployed across the globe especially the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan.Try to stay busy being around family members help...and try not to be glued to the news stations as I find myself doing more then I should...lol..the motto is "No news is good news"\n                                     101st Airborne Division\n                                        Fort Campbell,KY\n                                           "RAKKASANS"
