Stop in for a cup of coffee
No idea how she did it with the kids. I was deplayed 7 years total. Mant things missed. Once it was so long I came back and the "reception" my daughter ran up to a fellow member and started crying I AM SO GLAD YOUR HOME DADDY! That one hurt.
And they really dont get any credit or real support. I liked the rescue unit in NY (106th). They had volunteers cutting the lawns, oil changes free at the motor pool, Etc. The family support group was outstanding. The rest of them egh.
