Tips for Military Families On Transition and How To Help Your Children Reconnect
As service members head home after deployment, they must learn how to transition from deployment to life back home. Just as service members must adapt, families of service members also go through a transition.
There is a natural adjustment period for all military members and families after deployments. You should expect this adjustment period during which family members may have feelings of excitement, nervousness, anxiety and concern.
RealWarriors.net has a great post titled "Transitioning Through a Reunion" To view the complete post click on the image below.

Are You Being Overcharged On Your Mortgage Loan?
The Servicemember's Civil Relief Act (SCRA) expanded and improved the former Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act (SSCRA). The SCRA provides a wide range of protections for individuals entering, called to active duty in the military, or deployed servicemembers. It is intended to postpone or suspend certain civil obligations to enable service members to devote full attention to duty and relieve stress on the family members of those deployed servicemembers. A few examples of such obligations you may be protected against are:
* Outstanding credit card debt
* Mortgage payments
* Pending trials
* Taxes
* Terminations of lease.
An article on USA Today says JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is issuing checks totaling $2 million to 4,000 service members after discovering overcharges and errors in their mortgages.
"We made mistakes, we deeply regret them and are working to fix it in the hopes that this does not happen again," JPMorgan Chase spokeswoman Kristin Lemkau said.
If you need assistance understanding the terms of your mortgage visit your local Housing Services Office or visit MilitaryOneSource.com for assistance, or call them at 800-342-9647.
