Pre-Deployment Briefing

Life in the military is about being ready for deployment. You may be duty-ready, but don’t overlook preparations on the home front. Briefing covers topics and steps to be taken for an effective successful deployment for singles and families. Families are encouraged to attend.

Reintegration Briefing

Coming home after a deployment is an exciting time for everyone. It’s been a long time coming and you deserve to celebrate. But it’s important to know what other adjustments you might face post-deployment. Families are encouraged to attend.
