...85 yr old? grandmother is not well and I am scared she may die while he is away.Will they let him come home for a grandmother's funeral if she were to die before his tour is over.Praying she won't Thanks in advance to all of you
I'm sorry, but no. The only way they will allow him to come home is if his grandmother raised him, and they would have required paperwork on that before he left.
My husband is preparing for deployment, and that is what we were told. The only family emergencies would be the death of a parent, parent-in-law, or child. Now, you can contact the Red Cross, and they will get the message to your soldier in the event of her passing. But it is very, very unlikely they will let him go home.
God speed your soldier, and best wishes for his grandmother.
