Possible 12 month deployment?

Question

My husband left in june for a 15 month deployment... is there a chance that it could get cut to 12 months because starting tomorrow the tours to iraq are 12 months instead of the 15 month?

Answer 1

It looks like it. President Bush just announced 31 Jul 09 for troop withdrawel from Iraq. YEAH!!!!

Answer 2

There is always a chance that it could...anything is possible. But I would not count on it. The return to 12 month deployments, as of right now, only affects units deploying on or after Aug 1 2008.  

Answer 3

things change in the military all the time--so yes it's possible BUT don't expect it...that way if it does end up happening it will be a nice surprise :)  Make sure you are in a Wives support group on base--hang in there & Good luck!

Answer 4

EXTREMELY slim.   the change is for upcoming deployments, not current ones.  

Answer 5

Depends on when you runit implements this.
