Today’s front page WSJ article: War Veterans Try Yoga, Hiking, Horseback Riding to Treat PTSD…Pressure Builds on Department of Veterans Affairs to Expand Range of Treatments Beyond Drugs and Talk Therapy is a timely reminder to carefully read, Wheels Down Adjusting to Life After Deployment.
There several reasons to read and apply the advice in this brief tome: First if you are a vet and work with vets unlike much of the “spa therapy” being offered to servicemen and women with post traumatic stress, the language used in this book is clear and straightforward; Secondly the authors of Wheels Down are both former active duty officers that used their Ph.D. education in the real world of combat and dealing directly with veterans Thirdly the advice offered by the authors is both refreshingly positive and very practical.
Whether returning servicemen and women have Post Traumatic Stress or not, they all face numerous practical issues in their post deployment. While these issues may range from family to financial, the authors direct the reader in a wise manner and offer tips for further support.

Wheels Down Adjusting to Life After Deployment   [WHEELS DOWN] [Paperback] Books Reviews

I just finished "Wheels Down" and wish that I would have read the book sooner. I have been in the military for six years and have been over seas three times now, all I have experienced on my return is "back in the saddle" training. Each time I have come back from deployment everyone spends a day or two receiving classes about how to be good/safe person and we are sent back out into the world. This method doesn't work for everyone and it shows. In my experience, the window I have seen the most Marine's fail in relationships, alcohol related incidents, and financial issues is right after deployment.
"Wheels Down", is well written, direct, and doesn't sugar coat the personal problems that service members face when they return from a deployment. I could tell that the authors of the book were able to tap a resource of personal experience to put these words down on paper, that means a lot. When I get the feeling that an author is blowing smoke, especially when it comes to knowing what it is like to be deployed, the person losses credibility with me. I have already recommended this book to a couple Marines that I work with because they are going through some tough relationship issues. That is another good thing about this book...it is just as useful for someone that has never deployed because there is guidance for everyday problems, as well as deployment specific problems.

Quick summary Great book, easy to read, very helpful, and is a book worth keeping around as a reference after you are done reading it.
Read it!!!!!
As good as any of the many books of its type now on the market. Easier to read than most, and has good practical advice.
Parts of Wheels Down Adjusting to Life After Deployment are very helpful. Parts are too simple. And there are whole sections that I would have liked to see that were almost not there at all. Adjusting to life after deployment means that all of a sudden everything you know about how the world works for the past year is suddenly turned upside down, and one day you are deployed, and a day or two latter you are surrounded by civilians who expect you to behave as if you never were in a war zone.

Much better than nothing, but not as good as I hoped.
Good information!!
Bret Moore and Carrie Kennedy did a great job of helping the returning troops from the two ongoing wars. It is a MUST for them and their families.
Gambling addiction is also one of the numerous and real problems troops and veterans have to cope with and nobody has ever writen about that addiction in the military as far as my knowledge. It is not the only topic that is treated in this exhaustive book.
