Ris, are you sure that this doesn't count as a deployment for him? The same way going to Korea kind of does (they still get tax free pay, etc)? As for what to say, well . . I'm not sure. I too think that this is really something that should be discussed via the phone but everyone seems to be agreement that he won't call . . so I'm just not sure.
