Frequent deployments are a way of life in the
military. Many of the family issues that need to be resolved during a
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) apply to deployments and frequent separations.
Be proactive and visit your Family Readiness office in the Fleet and Family
Support Center for valuable information on programs that can benefit you and
your family, before, during and after a family separation. DoD and the Services
have created several new web sites found in the Quick Links, which address
deployment issues for all family members.
Although Naval Air Station,
Fallon is not a deploying station, deployment issues still affect the military
community stationed here. The Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) offers
ongoing education and counseling services to the military member and their
families. Information and assistance in financial issues, emotional
stability, employment options, transitioning concerns and family life are just a
few of the services. Navy One Source is an excellent 24-hour resource for
information and assistance. Check the Quick Links for that and other
contacts.
