We are hoping that she won't go back. She did a one year tour in Iraq, getting home last September. He unit may deploy again next year. However a few weeks ago, during drill, she injured her knee. She's had a MRI done and it's a torn meniscus and maybe a torn ACL. She's waiting for the Army's response and then will need to schedule surgery(they will do this in 2 surgery's) . She will be off her feet for over 3 months and Dr says that it will be a year before she will be "fit" again. I'm bummed that she tore up her knee but it may just keep her from deploying again, which would be wonderful.
