My neice's husband was to ship out to Guam last Friday, but now it's been postposed to Tuesday maybe. I think they are waiting to see which way the wind, i.e. BS, blows. A lot of military folks are on hold, including several national guard or reservist units which have been in Denver since November, from all over the country when they were first called up.
