Most deployments are on a yearly schedule. So, if he left in June 2006, he should be returning some time around June 2007. He should have access to email from time to time which depends on his job/schedule. Some folks are lucky enough to get emails and calls fairly often while other soldiers are only able to check email/phone calls once every couple of weeks.
To have not heard from him at all is puzzling!
If you know which unit he belongs to and you live near Fort Lewis, you can call and ask them to put you in contact with their Family Readiness Group (FRG). The FRG usually has monthly meetings and will keep you informed of things occuring within the unit while they are deployed. You'll meet the other family members within your fiance's unit.
Even if you don't live near Fort Lewis, get in touch with the unit's FRG. They may have a monthly newsletter that they can email to you.
Good Luck

If he is in the army a deployment is a year. What kind of job does he have? He is supposed to have 2 Morale calls a week. He should have time to call you.
He will have a 2 week R&R during his deployment. Which means he can come home for 2 weeks. When that happens is up to his unit, try getting intouch with his unit's FRG.

First, I hope your fiance makes it home safe and in one piece. It's kind of hard to say when he'll be home because as you know, in the middle of a conflict like this and with us needing each and every soldier that's already there, he may have been automatically extended. If it's getting close to his EAOS (end of active obligated service) date, he may have been made a stop loss, meaning given the current situation, he was forced to extend.
All I can tell you is, stay positive, write him often (letters from home really boost the spirit--so do care packages & photos) and hope that he gets home soon.
Hang in there. Hopefully all of this will be over soon.

?? properly, I supply you this, you researched your question. So I definately appreciate you for going interior the direction of the worry. and that i checked for accuracy (on a number of it, no longer all) too. good interest!! I also have a pair subject concerns with this nevertheless. a million. you're comparing apples and oranges. each and each conflict is distinctive. Our WWII losses could have doubled if we did no longer drop the bombs. could desire to we evaluate doing that now, as Nixon curiously did in the time of Vietnam? 2. undergo in thoughts "challenge achieved"? replaced into that the top of the conflict? Technically, we are no longer in a conflict stunning now. perhaps consequently the dems are disillusioned. what's the challenge in Iraq? First it replaced into WMD's. Then while that grew to become out to be a bald-confronted lie, we shifted to "isn't it greater advantageous now that Saddam isn't in skill?". After that, it replaced into "we could desire to furnish stability till a central authority is shaped". All that has been performed. So, what's next? what's the challenge? Oh, now we could desire to consistently wait till the Iraqi military is as much as job. BTW, undergo in thoughts how Rumsfield demanded that the Iraq military be disbanded? could it no longer have been greater advantageous to maintain them in provider? 3. have you ever asked the mamma and papa of #2,582 on your stat sheet approximately how they experience? you're lacking the full factor of the talk by skill of specializing in "deaths", and exhibiting us that it is not in all hazard that undesirable. the factor is, we are caught, basically like Vietnam and Korea. while are the troops coming domicile? We nevertheless shop 30,000 plus (i think of, be happy to the appropriate option me if i'm incorrect) in South Korea. yet our troops in Korea are not death. Iraq troops are. And, the democrats ask, WHY? It has no longer something to do with death expenditures, yet why we are over there, what's the challenge?

To not have heard from him yet is very strange. He should come home in about a year...but could stay up to 4 months longer. I would contact the FRG and his family! I will pray for you!

Your congressman doesn't know.
Since you obviously didn't do it before he left, you need to get in touch with his company's FRG and get on their "Chain of Concern". If they do e-mail updates, etc., you'll be included just like the wives are.
To get the FRG leader's phone number, contact your boyfriend's Rear D and tell them what company he's in. They'll put you in touch with the right people.
Why hasn't he called you, though? Not once in nearly a year? Is he still your fiance?

Unless your fiance listed you on his Privacy Act Statement, if you contact the FRG and ask about his status, they're legally not able to tell you anything. They won't be able to send you a newsletter either. They CAN tell you when and where the next FRG meeting is. You would be welcome to attend.
(However, if it were me and I didn't live near Fort Lewis, I would ask them about his status anyway.)
If you contact someone in the FRG but NOT an FRG leader, they can tell you anything they want to. That's not considered FRG communication so it's not subject to military privacy laws. The FRG leaders won't get into trouble either, as they have no control over that.
Some soldiers choose not to communicate with anyone while they're deployed. They'd rather not think about what they're missing while they're on their "vacation from life." (That's the way one soldier described it to me when he returned.)
Have you talked to his family? Has ANYONE heard from him?

the average deployment is 12-18 months long. I find it hard to believe that you haven't even gotten a letter from him at all though?
yes, in many cases, there is no phone or internet access, but not even a postcard?

This is pretty weird. I'm thinking he is done with you. There is a reason he's not calling and it doesn't have to do with the military.
