First Steps

     Fleet and Family Support 

             CNIC is short for Commander Navy Installations Command. The FFSP supports family through programs and resources that help the families adapt to the new military life. The program offers personal education, deployment support, financial counseling, and so much more. This successful program has over 81 sites worldwide. Some of the links that the website provides is background history and what their main purpose is to the fellow working individuals.
             One of the many great programs they have is the Navy Housing Program. Their first concern is to help house people in their local community where they are stationed. They make sure their customer receives an affordable, comfortable, and safe environment of a home. This program allows for the active duty person and their family to rest easy because they already have a lot of other things to worry about when moving.

Exploring the Ways

         The military, a strong force, a safety net, and the backbone of our nation. Now their children; young, trying to understand, and missing their parents. Every young child that has parents that are deployed are finding ways to cope. To explore the way children deal with deployed parents can lead into a gateway of possibilities. Enlisting in the military comes with a lot of struggles and unsure paths that many don't know how to tackle on alone. No one truly knows how a family member really feels about the situation until you actually experience it yourself. This issue is worth exploring so people on the outside of the military can get a better understanding on what it is like for these strong families.The development of a child and the family is as important as breathing. What are some possible resources that are being provided to help make life easier for active members and their families everywhere? Can these vital resources really help?
