We got a call this morning, and my brother-in-law who was in Iraq passed away this morning leaving a wife and two young kids behind. This was not combat related, instead he went to the doctor Monday saying he was feeling really bad and they told him to wait until Friday and come back in for blood tests if he still felt bad and put him on quarters. He couldn't even leave the room due to him being sick and he contacted the family yesterday stating that he couldn't get anyone to bring him food and felt too disoriented to leave. He didn't make it until Friday for the blood tests. I'm not sure what the family will do in his absence. I really wish someone would have paid more attention to him.

Thats terrible news and very sorry to hear that. To think no one was willing to look in on him and the hospital turned him away angers me to hear that. Isn't that what they preach in Basic looking after your brothers?
 
Yeah, there's a battle buddy system. When you are sick, they usually isolate you and see if you get better. Maybe he didn't speak to the right people, but it's crazy to think that he was sick enough to go in three days and they didn't do more for him.

Not trying to make fun of the pictures but I really don't understand why people post pics of the passenger seat and not the driver seat. Is it not obvious of the difference? .............looks like a nice truck...........none the less.

:frown:

so sorry to hear this
 
Iskandariya is where he was stationed. I'm hearing a more complete story now. Apparently he was with the commander when he died, not in his room. He was trying to get some help and passed out. The tried getting him to the hospital and didn't make it.
