He's a Navy Seabee on deployment in Afghanistan. He's only on week two of a year-long deployment. His girlfriend broke up with him yesterday. He's heartbroken and far from home, in a very rudimentary camp - sleeping in tents and without running water. I can see his depression on his Facebook posts, and I am very worried about his well being. Please pray he stays safe and his spirits lift. I miss my little bro and wish I could be with him in this tough time!

Poor guy. Praying for lifted spirits.
13 years later...finally healed. Definitely survived and thrived and you can, too.

Hugs for you too...

I was thinking what Kajem said. Is there a way some of us could write to him? Is there a pen pal program for these incredible men.

Sending lots of prayers his way.
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Thanks for your prayers and offers to write to him. He wrote back to me on Facebook last night (about his only means of communication right now, as his gmail address does not seem to be working) and said he expects to be moved to a new camp in the next month and will have a mailing address then. My kids have written or drawn pictures for him every day, and right now I have resorted to scanning them and sending them as a picture through Facebook.
He's been deployed before, but never to a challenging location like this. I'm just so worried about him, especially because his mood is so low.
Thanks for all the prayers, and if I get more info about how to write to him, I will let you all know!

Sending prayers. Such a horrible thing to happen, especially to a member who is deployed.

Holding good thoughts for him (and his brothers & sisters in arms). Such a shitty thing to do to someone - breaking up with them while they are a world away and in harm's way.
