Fleet and Family Service Center offers programs and services to
heighten the awareness of service members and their families to the roller
coaster of emotions. Deployment readiness is a priority for commands,
service members and their families. Major changes in one's life, such
as deployment, can cause an individual to feel that events are out of his/her
control. The more information one has and the more planning that is
done before deployment occurs, the more in control one is likely to
feel.
Return and Reunion:
All deployable commands may
request a Return and Reunion Program training. The purpose of R&R training
is to help service members returning from deployment garner the skills necessary
to ease their "returning home adjustment" after extended absences from family
and friends.
Pre Deployment Briefs:
All deployable commands may
request a Pre Deployment brief to familiarize personnel with the unique
stressors associated with prolonged absence. The "Cycle of
Deployment", financial concerns, children's issues, and deployment check-lists
are discussed.
