The Regan's aren't having a typical honeymoon; instead they are saying good-bye just one day after getting married.
"We just tied the knot, it was time," John Regan said. "She was the one I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, and you know we only have a short period of time before I've got to go to Iraq."
Regan has not just one reason, but two reasons to make it back safely.
"I've got a little bundle of joy on the way, so it helps with that too. So I don't want my son to be without a father you know," Regan said.
Specialist Regan is one of many soldiers saying their farewells to family.
"Being away from home during hunting season, but I'm going to miss my wife the most." Regan said.
"Friends and family, thank God for that," his wife, Hollie Regan, added. "Lots of emails, we have Skype ready to go."
The soldiers headed off to Camp Shelby this afternoon. After a few days they'll be headed to Kuwait for training and than onto Iraq.
