ARE WE THERE—PREPARED
AND READY with the PIECES OF
OUR PROGRAM WHEN members and families need it?
|
|
|
|
(National Guard Bureau
promotes and encourages) 6 essentials for every viable unit program.
|
|
We’ve touched on some of
pieces as we’ve reviewed the key missions of the program.
|
|
We mentioned connection–
when a member joins the unit both the member and the family now have a
connection to the military that they didn’t have before. They are introduced to a new way of
life. Remember that in-processing provides the opportunity for
1st impression of the FP
|
|
The Welcome or invitation
is part of the sponsorship & support offered -- the opportunity
for that 1st impression of the unit—invite them to be
informed and involved.
|
|
Are we in place only
for deployments, in war time?
|
|
We must be ready any time
for info, and always for separation for training,
schooling, TDYs whether short-term or lengthy.
|
|
Our main purpose is readiness--to
assist and help both members & families prepare for
deployment.
|
|
Are we included in mobilization
briefings? Are we involved in the processing
lines?
|
|
Are families ready for the long
term if the member is extended or delayed in returning?
|
|
What resources do we have to offer in
support and services?
|
|
Are they informed and
prepared for the return and homecoming challenges at being reunited?
