July 30, 2001: "Deployment
survivor tells other families how to cope" by Karen
Jowers
"Here's a book with a different
perspective: a guide through the maze of military deployment,
written by someone who has been through it herself."
"Whether you're married,
single, or a single parent, active duty, Reserve or
Guard, if you pay attention to these chacklists in preparing
for deployment, you'll be in good shape."
". . . a valuable nuts-and-bolts
resource for all military families. It's one to read
and keep. Don't put it on the shelf before you've gotten
your own affairs in order. And refer to it often - before,
during and after those increasingly frequent deployments."

"Grand Rapids native's book helps families prepare for
life of separation" by Ann Byle
'When Duty Calls' is part
handbook, part checklist and part advice column. It
provides military families with lists of things they
need to prepare for, and it offers advice on explaining
to children why their mom or dad is going away."
"It also serves as a handbook
for civilian families whose parent travels extensively
for business or who must live apart from the family.
And it's appropriate for missionary families."

February 2002: "Mobilizations
Made Simpler" by Captain Eric Shuler
"My wife and I have tried
to plan for the possibility of a mobilization, but we
focused on the material and not on the emotional impact.
This book brings to light some of the everyday things
we take for granted. "
"I have two small children
. . . What do you tell your children? . . . This book
gives a wealth of good advice and resources to help
you answer that question."
"When Duty Calls
should be essential in your deployment kit. Whether
you are deployed for homeland security or shipped overseas,
you and your spouse will have a handy guide to help
you through a difficult time." |
