Sounds to me like both mom & dad are soldiers, and both got tagged for OUS duty at the same time which is not an unusual situation with today's reduced numbers of active duty personnel. I'd say that they are fortunate to have grandparents that are willing and able to step up and take the responsibility of being stand-in parents for the kiddos. Kudos to the parents for their service, and big time kudos to the grandparents too.
