Today, we’re having Guy Talk, with Mr. Chris Hartley, who is an Army Veteran, and Mr. Emmett Prescott, Jr. an Active-Duty Army Soldier, Mr. Eddie Patterson, Jr. an Army Veteran, and Mr. Emmett Prescott, Sr. an Army Veteran. According to Military Dot Com, even when we are not at war, military families often deal with stresses such as frequent moves or the absence of a parent. Deployment to war creates additional issues for a family to handle.

Families face several challenges before, during, and after deployment. This emotional cycle of deployment begins when news of deployment is released to the family. It starts with a short period of strong emotions, such as fear and anger. As departure grows closer, a period of detachment and withdrawal may occur. This can happen to prepare for the person being physically gone. Today we’re going to have a conversation with some men that have deployed from home. We will hear their thoughts and feelings about deployment before and after returning home.

Most of the time when a spouse deploys the spouse that remains at home may worry or panic. They may also face Loneliness and Sadness. And on top of all of that, they will have added family duties and responsibilities and learn new skills. We want you to know that you are not alone.
