Deployment Guide for Parents

Vicki Cody, wife of GEN Richard Cody, Vice Chief of Staff, U.S. Army, has written a guide called Your Soldier, Your Army: A Parents’ Guide.

Vicki is also the mother of two Apache helicopter pilots with the 101st Airborne Division. Mrs. Cody turns her own 30-year experience as the wife and mother of Soldiers into advice and consolation for other parents with deploying children. The book’s tone is warm and confidential with an honest mix of pride and tribulation, a tone that appeals to concerned parents. Mrs. Cody covers the whole gamut of deployments, from the preparation through the endurance to the homecoming, and includes a personal view into Army life and an explanation of Army terminology. Supplemental articles also feature tips and facts about the Army.

While this guide is designed for Army parents, it has a lot of useful guidance that applies to all services.
