My brother just got home from afghanistan
My brother got on a standby seat on some kind of jumper late Mon night and then took a bus back to base in N.C. he got there at 2 a.m. Tues and immediately drove all the way down here (Tampa). He got here at around 4:00 pm yesterday and he hung out with me at work until I got all my paperwork done at around 8pm. We then headed to my mom's house, I told her my fiance and I needed to speak to her about some stuff. It was awesome. She pretty much cried all night. He's a strong kid. He spent the last 8-9 months in Afghanistan seeing alot of action while his new wife spent everything he had, pawned all of his possessions, and left with another guy. They had been married for 6 weeks before his deployment. Im just overwhelmed that he is home. Im taking him today to buy him some new clothes and stuff and we are going out tommorrow night.
My training partner is a top national heavyweight competitor that had a 10 page spread in musclemag. When my borther's buddies saw it they didnt believe that my brother actually knew him. So my buddy stopped by last night and took 10-15 pics with my brother and is coming with us to the gym to today so he can take more pics with my bro so he has a bunch to take back to his friends. It was an awesome day
We also went for a ride in my truck. He hasnt ridden in it since it was pretty much stock. Not much scares him now though.

Congrats to you and your family. I'm sure you guys were worried about him. Tell him thanks for protecting us.

that's funny becaue the exact same thing happened to one of my best friends from high school. him and his wife were married a month he left for afgan. she started sleeping with another guy, spent all of his money on buying the other guy a truck, motorcycle etc. he came back got a divorce and went on his way. the horrible part is the next time he came back he ended getting married to her again. I told him he was a ******* idiot but what can you do. glad to hear your brothers back, buy him a beer for me and tell him thanks.

My son was in Iraq and was in a bad explosion a year ago
last may. I know the feeling of seeing a family after being
in a war. As far as your brothers wife, I would have to make
an adjustment to her personality. ( Have you ever seen the
movie REVENGE with Kevin Costner and Anthony Quin?)

A big thank you to greentahoes brother ,onyx,and any other servicemen.
Your brother doesn't realize it yet, and might not for a while,but he's lucky she hooked-it now and not later when he had more invested in her. Love and money.
Thanks again.
