[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 145809, member: 1991"] Fingers crossed for you, Janet. Here's hoping that they either change their minds, or post him somewhere near enough so he can go home at nights. My father served in WWII, he was an older man with children (not that old at the time!) and because he was a family man, he was not right out the front, he was involved with training and supply. He did serve in New Guinea for a time (when it was really dangerous) but he was safe, he was rear echelon. In contrast, my uncle (who was not 20 years old) served in the most dangerous and challenging places. And survived, despite many attempts by (mostly Japanese, some German) to take him out. I think he thrived on the danger - he was too young to really have fear replace adventure. It was later on that he realised how lucky he'd been. Jamie has a family now. Plus he's already served. I'm hoping they will take that into account. Marg [/QUOTE]
