23 Military Structure SERVICE ARMY AIR FORCE NAVY MARINE CORPS COAST GUARD ACTIVE DUTY 539, , , ,021 39,006 NATIONAL GUARD 360, ,488 N/A N/A N/A RESERVE 197,024 75,322 82,558 39,644 8,500 TOTALS 1,097, , , ,665 47,506 23
24 5 Important Questions To Ask When First Getting To Know The Veteran Client 1. Did you serve in the military? 2. What branch did you serve in? 3. What did you do in the military (MOS)? 4. What was your best day? 5. What was your worst day? These questions allow for the development of credibility, which can only be gained from a person who knows which questions to ask. 24
25 15 THINGS VETERANS WANT YOU TO KNOW 25
26 15 Things Veterans Want You To 1. We are not all soldiers. Know It is important to know that each branch of the armed forces members are titled with different names. For example, Navy sailors, Marine Corps marines, Air Force airmen, Army soldiers. 26
27 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 2. The reserves are part of the military. There are two different ways to serve the country in uniform active duty or reserve duty All branches of the military have their own reserves. Could be called to active duty anytime. When not in uniform they are regular civilians and members of the community. 27
28 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 3. Not everyone in the military is infantry. Infantry is military specialty. There are hundreds of military operational specialties (e.g., administration, medical) who come together to carry out military missions. Military members train for months and years to perform specialty jobs. 28
29 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 4. Leaders are at every level in the chain of command. All of the different titles mean different things depending on which branch of service but the most important thing for nonmilitary people to understand is that officers and enlisted members of the military are different. Officers generally enter the military after completing a college degree whereas enlisted members enter before (or in part) college. Important to understand that leadership, no matter your title, is taught and expected at every level. 29
30 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 5. We are always on duty. Veterans really want other nonmilitary people to understand this. Members of the armed forces undergo intense training and are always in the state of readiness. Military people and their families live and breather their work at all times. They have to always have a sense of readiness to drop everything to serve the country at any time. Including deployment. 30
31 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 6. We take pride in our appearance and conduct. Physical appearance is important to all service members. Men wear military haircut, clean shaven while the women wear short haircuts or pulled up and only stud earrings are allowed. Being in constant physical shape is imperative to accomplish assigned missions. Service members must act with dignity and can be charged for conduct 31 unbecoming.
32 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 7. We did not all kill someone - those who have, don t want to talk about it. PLEASE, DO NOT ASK US THAT QUESTION, EVER! 32
33 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 8. We do not all have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). A majority of people who live through trauma do not experience PTSD. It can be cause by combat, sexual assault, childhood abuse, natural disaster. The risk of PTSD is increase with multiple deployments. It is important to note that most service members return from combat without PTSD. 33
34 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 9. Those of us who do have an invisible wound are not dangerous are not violent. Invisible wounds includes: brain injury, depression, substance abuse disorder. Bear in mind that these are injuries of war and should be treated as real injuries although cannot be seen. Our service men and women should be treated with the same respect as those who have physical injuries. 34
35 15 Things Veterans Want You To 10. It is really hard for us to ask for help. Know The military has a culture for intolerance of anything other than physical and emotional perfection. Therefore, it is difficult for veterans to ask for help as they view themselves as the ones being of help. 35
36 15 Things Veterans Want You To 11. Our military service changes us. Know The military changes veterans and we must validate it. Often times the change is permanent, but can lead to great growth. 36
37 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 12. We differ in how much we identify with the military after we leave active duty. Understand that leaving active duty is a big transition. It differs for everyone. Some people become defined by their military culture and others who considerate it part of their past but completely separate themselves from the life and lifestyle. Key point ASK how the person defines him/herself. 37
38 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 13. Our families serve with us. Military families are a part of the sacrifice. Constantly dealing with changes such as frequent moves, separation from spouses, and changes in schools for the children. Families often take on the responsibilities of the deployed family member. 38
39 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 14. We would die for each other, and for our country. Veterans exhibit a willingness to die for their country and for their fellow service members. It is more than a job, it is a lifestyle. 39
40 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know 15. We all make this great sacrifice for one important reason. Veterans believe in honor, commitment and duty. They believe in serving something greater than themselves and understand that the sacrifice made was worth it. 40
41 MODERN MILITARY FAMILIES 41
42 Military Family 58% of military service members have family responsibilities 40% have 2 children By age 5-40% of kids affected by deployment 30-50% relocate to hometowns to seek support from extended family Those with school age kids tend to stay put 42
43 Military Family 95,000 Dual military families 74,000 single parents 102,000 families with CSHCN (child with special health care needs) Guard/Reserve not usually co-located with a base 43
44 The Military Family Frequent Moves Negative Disruption of family, social network Students change schools TDY, PCS or deployment Positive Broader perspective toward people and cultures Child can recreate him/herself More moves resulted in higher participation in social activities 44
45 The Military Family Frequent Moves Repeat combat deployments Media Coverage of wartime events challenging Resilience of the military child and family More frequent relocation experience equals better child adjustment 45
46 IMPACT OF DEPLOYMENTS 46
47 Military Terminology Deployment Three phases of deployment 1.Pre-deployment Preparing to go (may take 3-6 months) Training, preparation of the individual and the unit, packing, etc 2. Deployment (1 to 15 months) Actual movement to the duty location 3. Post-deployment Coming back from deployment Reintegrating with family and unit, resting, recuperating, 47
48 Military Terminology Deployment The short-term assignment of a military member to a combat or noncombat zone 1 to 15 months Can be routine, planned, or unexpected Deployment cycle Recurrent deployment and redeployment* pattern that occurs over the career of a military service member *redeployment-return from deployment 48
49 Military Terminology Deployment Also the name given to the movement of an individual or military unit Either within the United States or to an overseas location to accomplish a task or mission. May be routine (providing additional training) May be dangerous (such as going to war) 49
50 Deployment Effects Research also shows the negative impacts that deployment and trauma-related stress can have on military families, particularly wives and children 50
51 Deployment Effects Cumulative lengths of deployments are associated with more emotional difficulties among military children and more mental health diagnoses among U.S. Army wives. 51
52 Deployment Effects Children of deployed military personnel have more school-, family-, and peer-related emotional difficulties, compared with national samples. 52
