Roger Hedgecock brought this up on Rush's show today. This leg of the organization works in the San Diego area.

This a wonderful idea....is it just locally or across the country?
My husband was just activated and leaves Sat...and every time he has to leave something happens..car, washing machine, etc...I would love to have something like this in case of an emergency.

This good stuff...
Marie, you're a military spouse, right? Do we have anything like this here at Ft. We-Gotchya? I'm sure we could pass it on the announcers at KTAN/K101/KWCD...

I emailed them asking for information about starting one in the St. Louis area, I think it's a wonderful idea!

One thing not on the list which would seem to be needed is child care.
I know a lot of military spouses who are really going to be hurting during deployment because they're in college classes or work nights.
Many times, you just don't know anyone well enough to ask, or you live far away from close friends and family.

There is also a wonderful organization that works in association with the Army and Air National Guard units. It is call Operation Ready Families. They a suppost to have program for every unit. I can't speak for all military groups, but I believe that they are suppose to have a family support group of some kind.
Most ORF(Operation Ready Families)groups have an 800 number to give you current information about their group. They usually have meetings during the drill weekend. If your unit doesn't have one, get involved and start one.
There is also a web site for Marine Mom's that is actually a on line support group for anyone that is affiliated with a Marine.
