Most guys on a deployment don't get to come home (if at all) until after the birth. See, the Army doesn't want you to come back for two weeks and wait for a birth only to have it not happen and then miss it. (It makes sense... not great, but it's not bad for Army thinking.)
Anyway, not only did the CO let me stay back and be there for the birth, but after everything went south, they let me stay some more to help the family through...
So, I get a picture of me holding my son. :) Thank you, Army... for a rare show of true compassion. Thank you.
