Depending on what time zone he is in, it might have taken a bit of time for him to get the message. Also, through his command/ship, getting him out of the area and towards you could take time too because of security reasons. Did you contact the American Red Cross? That might be a good call to make-they may be trying to process him to get him home. Also you may want to contact his command through the contact numbers that he should have left for you. Be patient-unfortunately, these things can take time.
Good luck with everything

no, its takes a while to get back especially when they are having to get him on a flight, my bf was comming home from deployment and it took 4 extra day until he actually got back tot he base, if you want to call the red cross they may be able to track him down and see what his status is

I know I would be worried. Call the Red Cross – they may be able to help you. Good luck!!!

Since he was coming home on an emergency leave… it may have been such short notice that his flights and transfers were not organized correctly. Military motto is “Hurry up to wait.” If you call the Redcross they will be able to help you. He probably doesnt have access to a phone either. Hang in there.

He’s probably just stuck in a holding pattern in kuwait or something–that’s the military. Ever heard the term “hurry up and wait”?

No hun, dont be worried just yet. When my husband came home it took him about 3 days (maybe longer) JUST to get to Baltimore… that wasnt home either. They get stuck in different countries for a while on lay overs… and with it being emergency leave he is probably flying stand by or something so he may or may not be able to get on a flight. If it was non-stop like when he went over, it would only take about 16 hrs if even that for him to be home, but coming home is a total different story… I am sure he is just fine, he will be home soon. Godspeed!

No.
He has to go someplace to catch the plane. He will get a priority seat, it may be day between flights. Who knows how many transfers he has. If its mostly military flights, he may not have access to phones on the flight lines.
Also, military planes usually make a lot of stops on the way, unless it is a chartered flight.

Does he not have a mobile phone? Sounds dodgy to me …….. I think if he does come home safely, he has some explaining to do …….
