Things You Need to Know About Home Coming

Deployment seems really hard to handle at first but with time you learn to adjust with it because things start getting better as you get busy with the mission and the sense of patriotism and love for your nation takes over everything else. You breathe, eat and live patriotism to prove your entire life is dedicated to the service of your nation.

However, there is a lighter side to it as well, among the hustle and bustle of life on the battlefield you get to think about as well. Coming Home seems like a breeze of fresh air to your war-weary auditory nerves. You want to dance your heart out because you can look forward to meeting your family and friends again. Here are few things you definitely need to know about homecoming:

1. You never have a fixed date for homecoming.

We know how it feels to be the battleground for months without even basic facilities of life at times. Staying out of bed for more than 20 hours a day sounds more than a punishment but it all seems justified to a veteran. You miss your family badly and then suddenly you get good news that you will be able to see them soon. This news sounds really good to you and you can’t help making preparations for your departure but hold on you need to keep in your mind that the date they gave you is not a fixed one and they can always make you stop for few extra days and you can’t complain.

2. Your first night home might not turn out as you planned

You plan a really great night out with friends or your spouse when you are on your way back. You believe your friends might be all at your house waiting for you and then you can have a great night or if you are in a relationship you might think it would be amazing to come home and relive those romantic moments you missed so badly. However, things don’t usually turn out as you planned. Your friends and family as so busy making preparations for your return that they actually get tired and can’t entertain you the way you expected. Thus, you need to learn to put up a smile to make them feel better.

3. Homecoming is not easy

It might sound unreasonable to many of you but you won’t believe it until you live it. Homecoming isn’t always easy. You have been away for quite a long time and you have gotten used to the distance so you don’t like being in many celebrations or hustle and bustle all the time. You came home from an environment of violence so your mind is numb and it becomes difficult to stop thinking about such things and adjust easily.

4. It is a great opportunity to fall in love all over again.

Homecoming is not as hard as all the points above illustrate there is a positive side to it as well. It is a great chance to let you and your spouse fall in love all over again. The physical distance has also allowed emotional distance to creep into your relationship but homecoming is the best time to fix it.

Deployments are single or repeated events that put an increasing amount pressure and stress on family structure and cohesion.
