Summary
Deployments have a great impact on military families; however, little is known about how military-affiliated children experience family life during a deployment. This study interviewed 33 children of Service members about their experiences during deployment. Results revealed that children experienced changes and challenges due to deployment, but they also reported positive opportunities of deployment and showed resilience.
