As a military service member, you're looking forward to life after
deployment and being back home among family and friends. But
adjusting to ""normal"" life again can bring its own challenges.
You're not the same person you were when you left on deployment.
This book, written by military psychologists Moore and Kennedy, is
a down-to-earth guide that's full of practical advice. The authors
talk straight about both the joys and challenges of returning home,
advising that one size does NOT fit all when it comes to making the
transition. They share thoughtful, constructive tips for dealing
with unwanted surprises like relationship break-ups, financial
problems, and kids who are suddenly strangers. Experiences shared
by many returning service members, like sleep disturbances, anger
management, and learning to live with ""hyperstartle,"" are also
discussed. For those whose transition has been more difficult,
chapters on identifying the signs of PTSD, living with disturbing
memories, and seeking relief from suicidal thoughts are
particularly valuable. A final appendix is the definitive guide to
support services for military members, with resources on everything
from kid's books to financial management websites.|As a military
