All military families need extra care particularly during separation periods. 

Whether the family is headed by a single parent, grand parents, step-parent, or functions as a traditional nuclear family; support systems help ensure mission readiness. 

Even the young Airman going off to Basic Military Training after high school graduation has an anxious family concerned about their well being waiting at home. 

The Airmen & Family Readiness Program is central to strong families by providing programs and resources that encourage positive experiences in challenging times.
