Before Deployment
There’s a lot to do before you depart, and keeping track of everything can be challenging. Adequate preparation is key to minimizing the problems that will inevitably arise during a duty separation. Having the knowledge, coping skills, social support and some control over future events will significantly influence your ability and attitude to handle all the uncertainties of deployment and better prepare you for the coming separation.
