OT 48th Birgade?

Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone on the board has a spouse or family member with the 48th that just left for Kuwait/Iraq? My husband is with them and left last week. I am hoping to meet a friend that is going through or already has had the WLS that has a family member with the 48th. It's really hard not having anyone to talk to thats going through the same as I am. I am hoping to have my surgery by September. Just waiting on my clearance letter from my PCP. Kimberly
