The nine month enlistment is up and I can’t wait to go and see my loved ones. My mother is getting older. I am ready to leave and get my chance to be home and take care of her. It’s hard to stay in the army knowing my mother could die very soon. The lack of support that is shown is one of the reasons I am leaving, the conditions, and the Chance of sickness or death.

Military professionals consider it a great honor to be able to defend their country. However, being away from one's family can be incredibly difficult. Many military people end up missing important dates in their loved one's life, such as family vacations, graduations and wedding days.

Soldiers and families are sad for their friends that died but always remembered. Arlo r. Mathison s. Sgt was in WW2. he was on the USS Leopoldville when a torpedo hit it. He died on Dec.

Once the separation has occurred, the next stage is the deployment stage. When a military member deploys, they can be away from their family

Another battle I have faced is my brother being in the Navy. He has been enlisted for almost three years. I always say I don’t miss him, but in fact I do miss him. This week we had to say goodbye to him because he had to leave for his deployment. I look

My experience with military based relocation has been very minimal. My family moved from Cherry Point down to Beaufort, SC and after three years we moved back to Cherry Point. While living in South Carolina I made lots of new friends, but I did miss many of my old friends. At first, it was uncomfortable to talk with new people, but something that was definitely helpful was that there were kids who have gone through the same experiences like me. Once I found people who have gone through what I was feeling- the initial shyness, the awkward first weeks, and the desire to gain a sense of normal again- it made the initial weeks much easier to deal with. By joining this group I was able to get through the initial weeks and was able to gain a

One day I was running home. I took three corners to get there. But then there was a strange guy in a mask in front of the home. I was scared that he would take me out. So I ran and ran until I figured out how to get there. Then it came to me. I would run back the three corners and slide under the guy so I would get home. Then he stood there like he was seriously going to get me out. Then a random guy threw a baseball at me and I slide under the guy with the mask and I got home. Then I was safe. I finally won and then those guys couldn’t take other people out when the run home. They got to home

Embrace the camaraderie you had when you were in, find other veterans like you, and help each other out!

Military Families face a number of challenges before, during, and after deployment. The issues start when service member bring the news of a possible deployment to the spouse and the rest of the family. It starts with emotions, such as fear because of the possibility of the service member no coming back and anger for the reason that the spouse will have to stay at home dealing with everything alone. As the day of the deployment gets closer, the service member start a period of detachment and pulling out. This can happen to prepare the spouse and realize that the service member will be physically

The day my brother joined the army was extremely exciting, until several months later, when he left for his basic training. Cameron packed his bags and walked out the back door on a Tuesday, headed for his new home, a base in Oklahoma. I bit back tears as we dropped him off with the other fresh recruits being shuttled to Fort Sill the following morning. He was completely oblivious of the changes about to take place in both of our lives. His would be more physical, and mine, more emotional. Not only was I losing my older brother, but I was also bereft of my ride to school, my link to amazing music, and one of my primary confidants. It would take me an extensive amount of time to learn how to function without the only constant male figure in

So you want to go to my house? Let me tell you how to get there. The first step to getting home is to turn north straight out of the high school. Next, you drive along this curve till you get to the first right turn onto the 280th road. You stay on this highway till you get to the decrepit house with the large lawn, stick pile out front, and the fencing company sign. The green Brantford Covenant Church sign should help you also. Keep going east on 7th Road past the collapsed barn that is as old as the dirt it’s foundation is planted in. Go until you get to Bismark Road. Then turn north. Make sure you slow down because of all the deer. Drive until the two mailboxes and the Garst sign. Turn west, then go to the dumpster. Keep driving

On December 21 at 2:30 in the morning a group of friends and I decided to get something to eat. Every decision we make in life has a consequence, but it's how we act in those moments that shape the type of people we become.If we chose to lie we will become a liar. If we chose to be honest, accept the consequences and learn from our mistakes there is a good chance we will never make the same mistake again. That is why I believe honesty is the best policy.

My child isn’t listening and keeps running away. I just don’t understand why they aren’t paying attention like the others.

Then, you remember the reason you came here and try to be patient. You work hard to get your confidence and encouragement back. While terrorist attacks are taking place in various countries and killing many innocent people, you may find that one friend who comes from that particular country where these attacks are taking place. Your responsibility is to be with that friend and bring him comfort and your support as he would be thinking that he could have done something if he was not so far from his country. Therefore, as military kids, we all find the need to support each other, accept new challenges and
