Gender Mainstreaming in Trade and Industry: A Reference Manual for Governments and Other Stakeholders Book

Do you know someone serving in the military? Make sure you read this book and buy your friend a copy too! There is so much useful information to help any family dealing with the transitions of military life.

The author shows great ways to help a family who has a member serving somewhere away from home. One example is simply not forgetting to mail them cards or call them. Sometimes you get so busy with your own life you can forget that your friend may still be in need of those encouraging notes, visits and calls. The best advice given is being specific with your offer to help. Instead of just asking if they need anything, ask if the person needs you to come over so they can go get a hair cut or go shopping. Keeping the lines of communication open is the best way to help any family during these lonely times.

The author also explains to unfamiliar people the ins and outs of the military. She lists the many places military families can go for help in all different areas of their lives. It is an extremely helpful book and should be read from cover to cover by anyone close to a military family or anyone about to become a member of one.
