I'm already home : keeping your family close when you're on TDY

Life takes us away from each other from time to time; that's just the way it is. Military families are especially vulnerable to separations. Now there's an easy-to-follow, practical guide to fun and inexpensive ways for keeping service men and women connected to their families while they're away. I'm Already Home is an essential tool for military personnel preparing for active duty training. It also contains connection strategies tailored to the unique demands of the military family before, during, and after deployment. This valuable guide will help lessen the impact of being apart from those we love.
