Redeployment resources: A Soldier and Family Guide to Redeploying

by

As this is my first experience with deployment — and therefore my first experience with redeployment — I’ve been searching the internet for resources that have some tips on how to make the transition back home go smoothly for all involved.

I’ve been looking for months, and I cannot tell you how many times I have come across this brochure. In plain black-and-white or four-color, updated for a specific unit or a general document, the same bullet points every time.

There is some valuable information in this document. The section on expectations is very useful when I start to get caught up in making plans; if you read my last post, you know I am all about appropriate expectations.

At the same time, there’s a little voice in the back of my mind whispering, “How can they distill everything down to a two-page leaflet?”

Oh, and regarding the recipe from yesterday?

I actually sat down and had a full slice of pie, and realized that the gelatin and tequila had settled to the bottom. So I truly have in my refrigerator a tequila meringue pie.

It’s not so tasty as first sampled. Clearly, I need to find another recipe.
