I don't know what to say except is think postive. Don't and I mean DON'T let any negative thoughts, feelings or anything get into your head. My husband deals with calls from the troops over seas calling home here in Tennessee. The email system does go down, and it becomes really difficult to get through. There could be one day of good communications then maybe 5 minutes later everything can go down. You need to call his family just to see if they heard anything. Call his job, see if they have any numbers that you can contact him through. You can also find out the wives, or girlfriends of the guys he went with, to see if they heard from there men. My prayers are that you will hear from your boyfriend. My prayers to keep him and everyone around him safe til they arrive back here in the states.

It is very difficult for soldiers to communicate with their loved ones, especially when they are in Iraq. They are on guard all the time for attacks on them as well as being prepared to attack the terrorists or doing other things out there. Communication is very limited out there for safety reasons. My neighbor's husband was out there and they were not able to communicate all the time either, though they did not go that long without communicating. I hope that he is okay and that you will hear from him soon.

dont worry he will get in touch with you as soon as he can. he might not have access to email, phone etc at the moment. he will be thinking about you every day and will be missing you as partners do. dont forget your phone could ring anytime and he will probably be the one ringing you to let you know he is fine. hope you speak to him soon. take care

I would pray and wait. You can also sometimes try finding the number for the local company in Iraq. Or maybe, you can also try contacting his company in the US and let them know that you have a boyfriend in Iraq that you have not hear from and are worried. I think most companies would tell you about the state of their branches in other countries where the environment is unstable. Good luck.
