...The Effects of Military Service on Children and Families Abstract When a service member is deployed or sent on a tour, this has a drastic change in the life of the service member’s family especially the children. Being the family of a military service member is already a difficult and complex lifestyle; deployments don’t make it any easier. Military deployment is a unique experience affecting both service members who make sacrifices for our country, and the loved ones who await their return. The potential for deployment is a constant reality. Today’s military deployments may occur in rapid succession and be extended. Therefore, military personnel and their families must always be deployment-ready. Deployments are not easy and can create significant stress for U.S. military men and women and their families. In many cases deployments cans create problems in families. It can contribute to marital problems, family dysfunction, and emotional or behavioral disturbance in spouses and children. The primary purpose of this research paper is to describe the effects of military deployments on a families and children. This paper will discuss the effects and they type of effects the military families and children are faced with. “Deployments in the United States have increased greatly in the past 10 years.

...Effects of Deployment on Military Families: A Literature Review Rhonda Steffek Columbia College of Missouri Abstract This review examines the many issues and effects that military deployments have on families. The continuation of Middle Eastern conflicts require a constant flow of military operations in this region. Deployments cause military service members, which can also be spouses and parents, to leave their homes. This is usually for extended periods of time in support of combat operations away from their loved ones. Researchers report findings that show associations between deployments and increased alcohol and drug use, relationship and communication problems, and developmental delays in children. Deployments create strong emotional stressors, greatly impacting these military families. Military families may need to seek additional help from social workers to address the negative effects that deployments tend to create. A recommendation for future studies into the positive effects of deployments is also discussed as this can be useful for social workers to develop service plans. Keywords: literature review, military family, deployment Effects of Deployment on Military Families: A Literature Review Military families are exposed to a myriad of challenges that many civilian families never have to face. One of the greatest challenges is deployment. A deployment requires a service member to be separated from their family for extended periods of time...

...Analysis of CK and the K Family Jane Doe Introduction Family nursing is a fairly new concept relative to the history of nursing practice. With any type of nursing process, assessment is the first (and ongoing) part of the process, followed by care planning and intervention. In delivering comprehensive care, the nurse must incorporate assessment of the family unit, or lack there-of, associated with the identified patient. Many family assessment tools have been devised to assist the nurse in gathering accurate data while opening up lines of communication and reflection for all members involved in the process. Selection of the appropriate tool for the identified family is crucial. Effective tools must be easy to administer in a fairly short amount of time and the data collected needs to be immediately available and useable. Family members need to see the relevance of the information gathered, and how it assists in improvement of their care- ideally soon after discussion, either by the nurse or a clinician. An initial interview and follow up discussion with the K family was completed over the course of 3 sessions. The first encounter involved only the identified patient (IP). The second was the remainder of the family, and a third was with CK’s perceived family. After an initial assessment and evaluation of the K family a suggested direction of care emerged, but was re-evaluated after the second interview. This development was then paired with...

...Critique- SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs (PlayStation 2) SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs is a third person shooter videogame for PlayStation 2. It is the third game in the franchise and was released on October 11, 2005. Since I enjoyed the first two SOCOM games so much, I also decided to try SOCOM 3. It ended up being one of my favorite games on PlayStation 2 for multiple reasons. Both the single and multiplayer modes were upgraded and besides the lackluster graphics, the gameplay was solid for its generation. SOCOM 3 also made me a fan of military shooter games and the first person shooters today. Apparently, many other people felt the same way due to the fact that Sony named it one of its “Greatest Hits” by 2006 (Colayco, 2005). Sony Computer Entertainment and Zipper Interactive are the two primary companies responsible for the production of SOCOM 3. The game was developed by Zipper Interactive and produced by Sony Computer Entertainment, who is the parent company of Zipper. Both companies also consulted with the Naval Special Warfare Command, showing the realness of the game’s overall design (Colayco, 2005). Each company had numerous production teams, including an executive production team, art teams, design teams, and software teams. After the campaign is completed, the credits on the screen roll about three and a half minutes. The job titles that were listed included senior producers, associate producers, software engineers, and multiple art designers. By the end of the credits...

...Affects of Multiple Deployments on Military Service Members and Families during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF): Time Period 2001-2012 Gina Pagano-Briglin, MSW University of the Incarnate Word 3 December 2012 I. Introduction Since September 11, 2001, there have been significant changes in the security measures of air travel, financial security, but one of the most significant changes is that of military operations. The United States began combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks officially referred to as Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Since October 2001, about 1.9 million service members have been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq (Asbury & Martin, 2011). OEF/OIF has many unique features with regard to the military forces being sent to fight oversees. The all-volunteer military has experienced multiple deployments to the combat areas, with an increased use of the National Guard and Reserve Components, higher numbers of deployed women and parents of young children, and increases in the number of service members surviving severe injuries and other side effects from combat (Shaw & Hector, 2010). Service members may be subjected to more than one deployment. Studies show that overall about 40% of current military service members have been deployed more than once, with over one quarter serving...

Final thoughts and conclusion In retrospect the journey that my life has taken from childhood to the present, has been a whirlwind of ever-changing dreams and desires. I’ve gained an appreciation of who I am today, the factors that have motivated me to continue, and a deeper understanding of the path I would like to follow as I pursue future goals. In my development I believe the foundational building blocks of who I am can be traced to the nurturing that I received from multiple parental sources within my environment. I was born a black child and raised initially within a dysfunctional poor family environment. The very nature of my parent’s genetic make-up with alcohol issues, abusive tendencies and intellectual differences. Leads me to believe my life should have turned out much differently if genetic nature was more at play in my development. There for I think that for the moment I feel that nature along with the nurturing environment shaped who I am today. I feel my life is a text book argument for nature vs. nurture. My life’s journey from birth...

However, despite the almost unanimous agreement on the importance of leadership for the success of private sector organizations...

...true to say that, if a decision on a competent matter is so unreasonable that no reasonable authority could ever have come to it, then the courts can interfere. That, I think, is quite right; but to prove a case of that kind would require something overwhelming … It is not what the court considers unreasonable, a different thing altogether. If it is what the court considers unreasonable, the court may very well have different views to that of a local authority on matters of high public policy of this kind. Some courts might think that no children ought to be admitted on Sundays at all, some courts might think the reverse, and all over the country I have no doubt on a thing of that sort honest and sincere people hold different views. The effect of the legislation is not to set up the court as an arbiter of the correctness of one view over another. It is the local authority that are set in that position and, provided they act, as they have acted, within the four corners of their jurisdiction, this court, in my opinion, cannot interfere. Put like this, unreasonableness as a ground of review is a straightforward concept, based on sound constitutional principles and a useful longstop to deal with a residual category of patently bad decisions. It makes abundantly clear that the courts are to make a secondary decision, with the primary decision about the merits of the matter being left to public authorities. The problem is that in the ensuing years we have heaped too much onto the...
