Overview

When the word deployment isn't just an abstract term, heard on the evening news... Throughout the ages the members of the military have been quietly supported not only by communities, friends and family members but by their significant others, spouses and life partners and often this support has gone unnoticed. Seldom are the difficulties that the military lifestyle brings candidly discussed before anyone joins its ranks. This book openly tells the moving story of an Air Force pilot and his family and their day-to- day lives before, during and after his 7-month long deployment. It recounts the tests, trials and heartbreaks they faced during this time, when the word deployment isn't just some abstract term heard on the evening news. It is the harsh reality of military life and it turns your world upside down. All this and more set against the backdrop of rugged Alaska and the unrelenting heat of Afghanistan. This heartstring-pulling wartime memoir is an asset to any person who desires to better understand the military lifestyle and a must-have for all military spouses. Don't miss this powerful story about sacrifice, commitment and family!
