Book excerpt: ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS INTO THE SECRET LIVES OF MILITARY FAMILIES! ... A PERFECT GIFT OF POETRY FOR MILITARY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND VETERANS!In her electric second collection, Lisa Stice (author of the previously published "Uniform," Aldrich Press, 2016) lovingly interrogates and illuminates life in a military family.Together with her toddler daughter and little dog Seamus, she explores the in-betweens of separation and connection, and the quest for finding one's place in the world.With humor and grace, Stice's signature style frequently involves the borrowing of words from texts she finds readily at hand, including quotations from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," and Dr. Seuss's "The Sneetches."In her new poems, the family¿s beloved Norwich Terrier also often appears as sentry, companion, and guide."Her close observations of childhood magic and household routines, quietly set against ever-present question-marks of war and displacement, are essential and timely insights into the modern military family experience," says the publisher."If you¿ve ever been a military kid, parent, or spouse¿regardless of age or era¿you¿ll find a welcome home in her words."

Book Synopsis Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
Book Synopsis Enhancing Family Stability During a Permanent Change of Station by : Patricia K. Tong
Download or read book Enhancing Family Stability During a Permanent Change of Station written by Patricia K. Tong and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One key aspect of military life is frequent relocation, also known as permanent change of station (PCS) moves. According to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), approximately one-third of military service members experience a PCS move every year. This report was created to assist DoD with preparing a congressionally mandated report on actions taken to enhance the stability of military families going through a PCS move and to provide a broader analysis of the relationship between PCS moves and family stability. The authors used a mixed-methods approach to compile a list of PCS-related family disruptions, to conduct a deeper dive into select disruptions identified by the sponsor, and to understand what programs exist to address these disruptions. This analysis demonstrates that moves are a stressor for military families and are associated with a broad set of disruptions to family stability. The authors found that there are a multitude of existing programs, policies, and services provided by DoD that address the many disruptions generated by PCS moves. While this research did not find evidence of a need for new programs, the results imply that there is room to improve the PCS move process to further alleviate family disruptions, particularly by increasing the lead time before a move is scheduled so that service members and their families have more time to plan their relocation. Methodologically rigorous evaluation of existing programs and services is also needed. Finally, the authors offer recommendations for areas where future work could help determine ways that existing programs could be further improved to better serve military families.

Book Synopsis South Pole Station by : Ashley Shelby

Book excerpt: Winner of the Lascaux Prize in Fiction A warmhearted comedy of errors set in the world’s harshest place, Ashley Shelby's South Pole Station is a wry and witty debut novel about the courage it takes to band together when everything around you falls apart. Do you have digestion problems due to stress? Do you have problems with authority? How many alcoholic drinks to you consume a week? Would you rather be a florist or a truck driver? These are some of the questions that determine if you have what it takes to survive at South Pole Station, a place with an average temperature of -54°F and no sunlight for six months a year. Cooper Gosling has just answered five hundred of them. Her results indicate she is abnormal enough for Polar life. Cooper’s not sure if this is an achievement, but she knows she has nothing to lose. Unmoored by a recent family tragedy, she’s adrift at thirty and—despite her early promise as a painter—on the verge of sinking her career. So she accepts her place in the National Science Foundation’s Artists & Writers Program and flees to Antarctica, where she encounters a group of misfits motivated by desires as ambiguous as her own. The only thing the Polies have in common is the conviction that they don’t belong anywhere else. Then a fringe scientist arrives, claiming climate change is a hoax. His presence will rattle this already-imbalanced community, bringing Cooper and the Polies to the center of a global controversy and threatening the ancient ice chip they call home.

Book Synopsis Military Personnel: Longer Time Between Moves Related to Higher Satisfaction and Retention by :
Download or read book Military Personnel: Longer Time Between Moves Related to Higher Satisfaction and Retention written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Periodic relocations are a basic fact of military life. The Department of Defense (DOD) reports that every year, about one-third of all military members make permanent change of station (PCS) moves. In addition, such moves may involve the members' dependents and household goods. PCS moves also involve considerable cost to both the government and individual service members. DOD's fiscal year 2001 appropriation for PCS travel expenses was more than $2.8 billion. But, since PCS cost reimbursement is based on what property a member was authorized to move and weight allowances that vary by grade and dependents, not all relocation and moving costs incurred by military personnel and their families are necessarily covered by the government. According to DOD, mid-grade and senior noncommissioned officers (enlisted personnel in grades E-5 to E-9) average more than $1,000 in nonreimbursable expenses each time they move. Among officers, members' out-of-pocket costs are even greater. Your Subcommittee asked us to provide information related to the experience of military personnel regarding permanent change of station moves. We briefed your staff on our findings on May 20, 2001.

Book Synopsis Leaving the Atocha Station by : Ben Lerner
Download or read book Leaving the Atocha Station written by Ben Lerner and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American poet on a prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self and his relationship to art. What is actual when our experiences are mediated by language, technology, medication, and the arts? Is poetry an essential art form, or merely a screen for the reader's projections? Instead of following the dictates of his fellowship, Adam's "research" becomes a meditation on the possibility of the genuine in the arts and beyond: are his relationships with the people he meets in Spain as fraudulent as he fears his poems are? A witness to the 2004 Madrid train bombings and their aftermath, does he participate in historic events or merely watch them pass him by? In prose that veers between the comic and tragic, the self-contemptuous and the inspired, Leaving the Atocha Station is a portrait of the artist as a young man in an age of Google searches, pharmaceuticals, and spectacle. Born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1979, Ben Lerner is the author of three books of poetry The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw, and Mean Free Path. He has been a finalist for the National Book Award and the Northern California Book Award, a Fulbright Scholar in Spain, and the recipient of a 2010-2011 Howard Foundation Fellowship. In 2011 he became the first American to win the Preis der Stadt Münster für Internationale Poesie. Leaving the Atocha Station is his first novel.
