[slowpoke]

Just seen on the America News,The Skillman family is being deplode over seas.That's Mom,Dad and Son.All at the same time.In my mind,it's just wrong.Send one at a time,and leave two at home.I thought it was against military policy to do this.There in my prayers.

Wow!! Never heard of that. Is that normal policy?

The story I read on it and watched the video attached to it, said that there is no set policy against it.  That being said, a few years ago, when I went to play in a dart tournament, the convention center that the tournament was held in was dedicated to 5 brothers who were killed in the same battle, and that some steps had been taken to not have family serve together, such as in the same unit...don't recall if it said anything about being deployed as separate units to the same area though.

If interested, do a search for "5 Sullivan Brothers", and I believe they were from the Waterloo Iowa area.
