Dear, Field Problems:
Why aren’t there any real resources for military parents? There is an assumption that we don’t want to know information or that we don’t care. We are not sure which. Do you know of any resources to help us out?

Dear, Field Problems:
I’ve seen quite a few conversations about Space A military travel on your website, but I’m still very confused. Where do I start? Is there anything that is a “must know?” Any advice you can provide would be very helpful. I’m completely overwhelmed.

Dear, Field Problems:
I am a veteran, a spouse of an active duty soldier, and a mom of two children. I also work as a Soldier and Family Readiness Group Advisor at Fort Bragg. One of our “field problems” is how to revive our SFRG so that family members can get the support they need. We surveyed family members and found people really want the social aspect, not the learning aspect, which is surprising to me. How do we achieve both?

Dear, Field Problems:
I’m in a little bit of a different situation recently. I am the proud father of a new baby boy. His mother and I are not together. This is my first, and I’ve never had to address the meshing of my military career with family matters. What can you tell me that may stop my feeling that I’m going to compound my mistakes?

Dear, Field Problems:
I’ve heard that the month of April is when the military honors military children. Are there any special things going on at installations? Where can I find out more about resources for my children?

Dear, Field Problems:
I have a toddler boy; he is 2 years old and is having a hard time adjusting to Daddy not being home. The problem we are having is I am not sure how to get him to understand (he is acting out) and what I can read to him that will help him understand. You recently came up with a list of books for a 5-year-old, but I wasn’t sure if they were age appropriate with a language that my son will understand.
Any chance you can suggest books that are easily understood by toddlers and can help them deal with deployments? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
