The Military Father: A Hands-on Guide for Deployed Dads (New Father Series)

This book is fantastic. I read it first but am planning to give it to my significant other who is a soldier when I’m done. This is an absolute must read if you or your SO is in the military and has kids or are planning to have kids.

I've deployed for pregnancy, young baby, and young toddler stages so far and the information in this book has been helpful for me and my family each step of the way. It has a lot of information for each age group for children from the unborn to older teenagers. I will be keeping this book to reference on future deployments when the children are older and in different stages. Great reference!

Enjoyed reading this book leading up to deployment. Lots of useful tips and ideas to stay connected with loved ones while gone!

I first purchased this book to use as a basis for my work with children of military parents.The book's content was insightful, well organized and thorough. I felt the book was so helpful,I purchased several copies and sent them to my son, who is a military officer to present to his men.Both the parent being deployed and the one maintaining the family unit on the homefront would benefitfrom reading this book and utilizing its suggestions.

It doesn't matter who you are: the person deploying; significant support people such as: spouse (or SO), their parents, in laws — anyone associated with a deployment needs this book. It's so valuable that I'd like to see it remarketed under and additional title. Truthfully, I'd love for this book to be handed out free by the DoD to every deploying Service member. (Review by Executive Director of American Initiatives for Military Support (AIMS) and significant support person for two deployments.) If I had this book before either of these deployments, the experiences would have been MUCH better. Thank you, Armin for an incredible resource.

I got this for my husband as a predeployment gift bc i knew he was going to have a hard time leaving his daughter behind and dealing with me being pregnant alone. This this the only book I could find for a military serving dad. I've read tons of spouse books and I have to say this one was better then the spouse books! Recommend to any dad that serves!

I bought this with the entent of understanding my role in the family after a deployment. The tips and experiences shared in this book have helped me continue to be a part of my family even while being have way around the world and on different schedules due to the time zone difference. I definately recomment this book to soon to be deployed and even currently deployed servicememebers. It works!

Love it
