Deployment Readiness

This is gonna be a long post. But I wanted to share the pictures. Last month, we had an FRG (family readiness group) activity for the kids. They wanted the kids to be aware of the steps their soldier has to go through to prepare for deployment. So first, they got ID cards. Then they went to the uniform area where they were able to color...

assemble...
and try on uniforms.

The kids said the IBA is really heavy.

Laycee's favorite activity was to put on the rank and badges over and over.

She stayed here a long time.

Then the kids had a PT test. Jumping jacks instead of run.

Sit ups

Push ups

They also went to "immunizations" and got shots for the area they were deploying too.

Laycee skipped the shots and went back to the velco man.

She encouraged Logan to play too.

Haylee visited immunizations next.

Lastly, they all went to legal to work out their POAs and Wills.

It was a really great idea and the kids had so much fun!
