Parenting In Service -
after action

Mon, Nov 11 2:00 P.M. NH World (11.3)  

When service before self is the military mantra, the family's needs often come second to Uncle Sam. As the saying goes, "If the military wanted you to have a family, they would have issued you one." Yet over 40% of service members have children. Host and retired Air Force Staff Sergeant Stacy Pearsall talks with Bill Brokop, Maria "Coco" Gunther and Hannah Merchant, three veterans who faced the challenge of balancing the needs of a nation with the needs of their families.

About After Action:

After Action, hosted by Air Force Veteran Stacy Pearsall, is a series of seven 1-hour episodes that captures the raw experiences of veterans around military training, deployment and, most of all, life after action.

Every episode features an intimate conversation guided by Pearsall with whom each participant identifies and trusts.

This round circle, reality-based approach engages viewers to earn a greater understanding of the issue's members of the military face.

The series also portrays a reality that is perhaps atypical to each generation of service men and women.

The series seeks to demystify the military experience, provide a platform for dialogue among military family members and preserve military stories, many of which have, to date, been untold.

It is our intent to help those who haven't served in the military understand the transformation that happens through serving and the journey service members experience "after action."
