 If you are a young military family, buy this book. April 6, 2008
I am very grateful to Mrs. Pavlicin for assembling this excellent collection of to-do's, heads-up's, and reassurances. It's a little too late for my family, but for today's military couple I know of no better resource to prepare for the unexpectedly difficult rigors of deployment.
My wife had to learn 95% of this the old fashioned (and painful) way before my recent retirement. We would have loved to have even half the tips twenty years ago. This is an invaluable guidebook for those couples who still have military travel ahead of them, and if I were a unit commander I would personally ensure that each of my families received this book.
Do yourself a favor, read and heed these words of wisdom.

Quite frankly, this is a good resource for a military family who is not on a base or post, such as a National Guard or Reservist family. However, for one with ties to a military community, the same information is easily accessible by talking with friends and neighbors and listening and being willing to learn from them.

This book is excellent to read before getting into the military life. If gives great advice and examples on what goes on in this crazy lifestyle.

A Must Have for Military Spouses February 15, 2008

My husband recently deployed to Saudi Arabia and this is his first official deployment. We have been away previously due to training exercises, but nothing can prepare for a deployment, except for this book. It is a must have for spouses of deploying military personnel. This book talks about the different stages and phases that go along with deployment, it let me know that what I was feeling is normal and also gave some great tips for making the transaction smoother and easier for everyone in the family.
