Welcome to our Spring Edition of Family Times:
Here we are in spring time with the First Annual Army
and Air Military and Family Appreciation Day this Saturday
at McEntire Joint National Guard Base. This will be a
spectacular event for the entire family. There will be concerts
by Coastal Breeze, Bodega Roja and more. There will also be
plenty of activities for kids. The Department of Natural
Resources is bringing their Outdoor Heritage Mobile
Education Trailer which is a hunting and fishing simulator.
This will be the largest Family Day the South Carolina
National Guard has ever produced and the weather is
supposed to be great. You will see an advertisement later in
this issue for more information.
Registration is now open for our Annual Youth Camp. This is a great opportunity for your kids
from ages 10 to 17. We are going to Camp Bob Cooper again this year on beautiful Lake Marion. It runs
from July 24th - 30th. It’s only $150 for the whole week with many activities including parasailing. It’s a
great time for our kids to interact with each other and share the experiences of being in the National
Guard Family. Applications are available on our web page at www.scguard.army.mil . Then go to
Resources/Family Programs/Youth Camp.
All of you wonderful Family Readiness Group volunteers out there are the backbone of Family
Programs and we want to tell your stories. If you are having any fund raisers or any other events you
would like for us to publicize, please contact Specialist Bonita Patrick at 803-806-4400.
If anyone out there has any old or broken cell phones, please get them to any Family Programs
staff. We can turn them in for calling cards that we can send to deployed Soldiers and Airmen. It does not
matter what kind of shape the phones are in.
It saddens me to tell you that we have lost three members of our Family Programs Team. Mike
Bower, our Senior Family Readiness Support Assistant has moved to another career opportunity. Jason
Marsh, a member of our Yellow Ribbon Team, has also moved, starting his own business. And last, but
certainly not least, Tina Brown, one of our great Military and Family Life Consultants, has accepted a
position with the Veterans Administration in Richmond, VA to be closer to her family. We wish all of
them nothing but the best of luck for the future and they will be missed terribly.
Please let us know what is going on in your unit, your family and your community. We are all in
this together and together we are stronger. May God bless all of you.

4. News From Above
As a Chaplain Candidate, it is sometimes overwhelming just to hear all of the challenges our Soldiers are
facing. Our Soldiers are all individuals who have recognized the necessity of putting on the uniform, training,
preparing, maintaining readiness, and spending long periods of time away from home in the name of our Nation’s
security and liberty. Our Soldiers act with urgency and an awareness of the duty they have—and they volunteer all
the more to serve for the good of the Unit, the State, and the Nation. However, this service frequently takes its toll on
the personal lives of our Soldiers and their Families.
―Resiliency‖ in our Soldiers’ spiritual and mental life is the goal; but what does that look like? Take two
hypothetical Soldiers. Say, for example, both are in the same unit, both are on the same patrol in Afghanistan, and
both are involved in the same roadside blast. One Soldier returns home and seeks to process what he has been
through. He monitors his thoughts, behaviors, and physical responses. He is patient. It’s not always easy, but over
time, he comes through a more well-balanced individual than before the deployment. He even comes to see the trials
and valleys he has gone through as a blessing in disguise. As the old hymn says:
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
The other Soldier is not so patient. He returns home and withdraws from any help available. He wants the
stress he feels to be gone. He becomes frustrated, and that leads to all kinds of other personal challenges—which
only compound the problem.
This is nothing more than an overly-simplified analogy. Nevertheless, your Chaplains are working before,
during, and after deployments to give that second Soldier the resources and tools he needs to be more like that first
Soldier. Your Chaplains are working before, during, and after deployments with Families to foster understanding
and equip people to be able to work through these challenges. The Guard is a Family. We want to bear one another’s
burdens, and we rush to one another’s aid. Your Chaplains are privileged to serve such extraordinary Soldiers and
Families, and we are continually seeking how to best provide Comprehensive Soldier Care.

7. Family to Family
Deployment is no easy task to endure when it comes to leaving behind loved ones. We as
Soldiers sacrifice missing birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and even the births of our own
children, just to name a few, to serve our country. In this section we honor the words of Soldiers
that experience deployment and the affect it had on their family, but still find encouraging words to
say to other South Carolina National Guardsmen and service members and the work we do under the
umbrella of Family programs in relation to Readiness, Resiliency, and Reintegration. We hope that
you find you are not alone in whatever situation you endure but know that there is help and we, the
South Carolina National Guard Family Programs Family, are here to faithfully serve those Families
that have pledged to make the ultimate sacrifice. Soldiers. Veterans. Families
In this edition we honor: The Sims Family
The biggest thing that I went through while on this deployment was the pregnancy of my
third and final son!!! My third son, whose name is Brennan, is here because of the generous
donation of Lowes Home Improvement. If you can recall, Lowes donated $25,000 to get us
home for Christmas. While home for Christmas my wife and I took full advantage of the time
we had together. We (1222 Eng Co) left on the 1st of January 2010 to head back to Ft. McCoy
to finish the remaining training we had left. The 21st of January was a big day for me. Not only
did I find out that we would depart that afternoon for Afghanistan, but I also found out my wife
was pregnant. After finding this out, I couldn't help but to sit back and laugh at the Lowes Home
Improvement slogan, "Let's build something together". Therefore, I tell everybody that my wife
and I take that saying to heart.
After finding out that she was pregnant, me being gone was a big concern for me. My
wife attended a FRG meeting, and it was then I knew that everything was going to be okay. It
helped me realize, as far as the support, I did not have to worry. The support and peace of mind
was overwhelming and the gratitude we feel, I cannot even begin to put it in words. There was a
lot of support from different organizations as well. The main thing that I can tell somebody that
is getting ready to deploy is to stay focused on the mission at hand and tell their significant other
to go to the FRG meetings, take full advantage of the services that are available through Family
Programs and Yellow Ribbon and get involved as much as possible. This will make the time fly
by for both parties.
Yours in Service,
The Sims Family

10. OMG!...OMK!
OMK : Family Resiliency Retreats
OMK Since 2008 SC Operation Military Kids has supported seven
Family Resiliency Retreats, These retreats are designed specifically for
military families that have or have had a family member deployed . Family
Retreats have hosted grandparents raising grandchildren while their single parent
son or daughter is deployed., OIF and OEF military members and their families
Operation: and Wounded Warriors and their families.. Retreats are typically held in a tranquil
Military Kids mountain or refreshing beach setting. Though some resiliency skills trainings are
held, families are given plenty of opportunity to participate in ―family‖ activities
Family Resiliency of their choosing…. like making Ice cream sundaes.
Retreats
Ingredients of Resiliency: 7 Crucial Cs
Competence—Ability to know how to effectively handle situations
Confidence—Solid beliefs In one’s abilities
Connection— Close times to family, friends, school, work, and community that
produce strong values and prevent self destructive behavior
Character— Fundamental sense of right and wrong to ensure youth/(everyone) is
prepared to make wise choices, contribute to the world, and function as stable
adults.
Contribution—When youth (anyone) realizes the world is a better place because
they are in it and because of their contribution to it.
Coping—A wide repertoire of positive, adaptive coping strategies
Control— When youth (a person) realize they can control the outcomes of their
decisions and actions. (From: Dr. Ken Ginsburg in RSG! OMK Training and Resource Manual, 8th Edition)
Resiliency: The capacity to rise above adversity and
to forge lasting strengths in the struggle. It is the
means by which children and adults can rebound
from hardship and emerge as strong, healthy
individuals, able to lead gratifying lives, albeit with
some scars to show for their experiences.

11. Yellow Ribbon Team -Army
Soldiers returning from combat face unique challenges when they return home and
try to reintegrate into society. Things for them can never be the same, and much of what
they’ve seen will stay with them forever. Families, and especially children, are also affected
by the return of the Soldier. While it is wonderful to have our Soldiers home, learning how
we can help make their adjustment easier is important. On Thursday February 22, 2011 at
the Rock Hill Hall Chambers, a Soldier Reintegration Forum was sponsored by the City of
Rock Hill. It was an opportunity for people to learn how to help our Soldiers feel like they
are really home. The forum will also be rebroadcast on City of Rock Hill channel 19 and
CN2 TV. You can visit www.rockhillontv.com to view the current program schedule.
While using a slide presentation, the panel’s focus emphasized personal
experiences and affects on children and Soldiers in the workforce. While all service
members face challenges, the National Guard and Reserves face additional challenges
because generally they do not live near military facilities or have community supports in
place. There are approximately 800 military children in the Rock Hill area. Deployment
affects even the very young children. In addition to concern for their absent loved one, Terry O’Connor
children must cope with the stress that the remaining parent will naturally experience. Yellow Ribbon Coordinator
Part of the discussion centered on employers as well. Going to work as a civilian 803-667-2075
can be challenging after a tour of duty in a combat zone. Returning Veterans may rely on
battle field skills that do not necessarily fit with the civilian way of doing business. In the
end, although there may be difficulties – they can be overcome and it is plain to see that the
City of Rock Hill is setting up that type of environment. Please remember these Service
members are the best trained in the world and their skill level in management, leadership,
problem solving and resolution are immeasurable. When an employer looks at the Veteran,
he can appreciate a person whose values are honesty, integrity, loyalty, duty, respect,
personal courage and selfless service.
This was the second event of this type by City of Rock Hill. This is probably the
most far reaching and innovative approach to reaching Soldiers and families in South
Carolina. Hats off to the City of Rock Hill. Many thanks to Max Watson and Lynn Garris,
City of Rock Hill Public Affairs, for their tremendous help. We were very appreciative that

12. Survivor Outreach Services
S
IF YOU NEED HELP…
urvivor Outreach Services (SOS) has been in
effect for the SCARNG since 3 Aug 2009.
Survivor Outreach Services is designed to keep
our Survivors connected to the Army Family for as long
as they desire. We do this by holding support groups,
grief workshops, and annual Christmas events for our
Survivors. We also assist Survivors with applying for
benefits through the VA such as; grants, head stones,
educational benefits and other services. Survivor
Outreach Services utilizes other programs within Family
Programs to make our events successful, such as the
Military Family Life Consultants. These licensed
professionals help facilitate our trainings and offer
counseling support as needed. SOS has accomplished a
very time consuming task since January 2011. We have
identified the number of survivors in each county to
better assess the needs of our Survivors statewide. After
collecting this data, we have developed a plan to conduct
grief workshops in 4 other key areas around the state:
Spartanburg, Myrtle Beach, Florence, and Charleston.
This minimizes travel for our Survivors to Columbia in
order to get to these support groups.
Working together-
Attending the Family Programs semi-annual
briefing allowed us to network with unfamiliar
organization to better improve SOS by getting the word
out on our services. Survivor Outreach Service
Coordinators will begin to attend the FRG leader
trainings and Retiree Briefings to explain the services
that SOS offers. We are excited about the plans we have
put in place to better services the Survivors in the State of
South Carolina. The National Guard SOS Coordinators
have established a great network with our SOS
counterparts serving the Active and Reserve component
Survivors. We host our events as a team to better service
all survivors in each of the Army components. With that
said, SOS is growing and the feedback from our
Survivors are being heard. We strive to make
this program as beneficial as possible for the Survivors
we serve and we will continue to keep our Families
connected to the Army Family for as long as they desire.
