2 Be Prepared Navy Individual Deployment Support Are you a Navy family getting ready to go through a deployment? Feeling overwhelmed with everything to do on your deployment checklist? Not to mention the worries you may be feeling about added responsibilities with your household. One of the best things you can do for yourself and your family is to educate yourself on the many resources available in case of an emergency. When one member of the family is away, the burden of hard situations is often carried on the shoulders of the remaining spouse. If you are prepared for whatever may come your way it will help ease some stress about the what-ifs, and also help the deployed service member relax and focus, knowing the family is equipped with the correct tools-just in case they need to use them. Naval Services Family Line has a booklet called Are You Ready? Guidelines for Navy Family Emergency Preparedness. The 94-page booklet contains valuable information relating to emergency preparedness, from protecting your personal property, care for pets, and document preparation. The guide, available from the Navy Individual Deployment Specialist. is even equipped with emergency contact cards, a Family Emergency Plan template and many resources. For information on Navy family preparedness, or to pick up a copy of the above-mentioned guide, please contact the Navy Individual Deployment Specialist. Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success -Henry Ford Who Will Care For Them if You Can t? LifeSkills Do you have a Family Care Plan in place? If not, then you may be putting your family at risk should you be called away for any reason. This season we are offering two important workshops to get your family prepared for the unexpected. Contact your unit FRO or MCFTB for registration or information. 2

Changing Focus Readiness & Deployment Support For over a decade, deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan have been the overwhelming drive for much of the Marine Corps.

5 Changing Focus Readiness & Deployment Support For over a decade, deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan have been the overwhelming drive for much of the Marine Corps. Just as individual Marines and units are moving their attention to peace time operations, the Readiness and Deployment Support Program (RDSP) must also adjust its focus. For 237 years, the Marine Corps has operated in times of war and peace. The need for each Marine and his or her family to be ready for anything has never wavered. It is easy to associate RDSP with only deployment readiness, but we are here to help all Marines in all units prepare for the challenges of Marine Corps life. Marines often leave home for reasons other than deployment. TAD, exercises, and training are just a few examples of what might take a Marine away from home for over 30 days. Are you prepared for that departure? Is your family? Single and married Marines have a multitude of things to consider before leaving. RDSP is here to make sure you don t forget a thing! (cont. below) Readiness & Deployment Support for Q4: All briefs and workshops available at Unit Level by Request. Individual Augmentee Pre-Deployment Briefs and Return & Reunion Workshops scheduled upon request. Strong Military Couples: November 29 ( ) In the Midst-Spa: December 6 ( ) Shinjichi nu ada nayumi. ~Kindness will never be wasted in any way. -Okinawan Proverb Residing on Okinawa, we have more to consider when assessing our readiness. While in CONUS your spouse might be able to survive 30 to 90 days without a Power of Attorney, here on Okinawa spouses need POAs for nearly everything. In CONUS, you might be able to let your car sit in the barracks parking lot for a month or so without any problems. Here on Okinawa, your car might not start when you get back! These are just a few very simple examples of what Marines on Okinawa need to keep in mind. RDSP can be thought of as having two areas of concentration: Readiness Support and Deployment Support. Just as Marines still work during times of peace, RDSP is still very relevant for all Marines and their families during all phases of Marine Corps activity. The question is, Are you, the Marine, ready to leave tomorrow? For deployment, for training, for family emergencies in the States, for the MEU, for an exercise. The where is not important. If you think the answer might not be yes, talk to your FRO about having a Readiness Workshop at your Unit, or call Marine Corps Family Team Building and talk to a Readiness and Deployment Support Trainer. We re here to ensure you can focus on your mission, whatever that mission may be! Japanese Spouse Orientation Dates for Q4: All trainings are located at Marine Corps Family Team Building on Camp Foster. Call to register.
