Ready to ship out...
Young family members offered glimpse of how parents get ready to deploy It’s tough for our children to grasp what deployment is about other than the fact that it means the parent is leaving for sometimes an undetermined period.

A specific location will be announced later, which will determined by the number of participants. Priority will be given to the families with a member currently deployed or about to be deployed. Sign-up deadline is Oct. 19 at the Airman and Family Readiness Center. Call the center at (843) 963-4406 to register or for more details.
