The deployment cycle varies from family to family. Some may be preparing for a deployment, RR&R or a reunion. It depends on the unit. Families are strongly encouraged to please follow Military Protocol regarding our Service Members’ requirements throughout the various phases. Your compliance ensures the continued integrity, quality and assurance that carries us. Uniting with your Service Member is an extremely important time. Allowing your loved one the ability to properly process throughout the various phases requires your assistance. Department of Defense (DoD) Yellow Ribbon Program Events Dates are subject to change. Check with any Yellow Ribbon Support Specialists (see page *****).

Join JSS…If you haven’t done so already, you truly should log in to the new Joint Services Support website, a product of the National Guard Bureau. Not only is it important that our State participates as a community, this cutting-edge website will allow us to communicate with you more effectively. We can email you when we need to get important information to you quickly. We can discuss military lifestyle issues online and more. First Steps…As a leader in military family programs, your NCNG Family Programs office (within the next 6-8 weeks) will pre-enroll you on the Joint Services Support website. If that’s okay with you, simply login (after you receive an email) and change your password. If you’re not interested (which we hope you are), simply unsubscribe and you will not receive any additional information on Joint Services Support.
