Financial Planning is an important part of our military life. There are many times when we may be separated as a couple because of deployments, trainings, exercises and schools. For these reasons, we should always be at a state of financial preparedness.

This workshop is designed to go over some financial areas that we need to take into consideration especially during a time of deployment.
