- [Narrator] From Soldiers'
radio and television,

00:08.030 --> 00:10.110
this is The Army Now.

00:10.110 --> 00:11.770
- [Jason Jones] The 106th Finance Company

00:11.770 --> 00:14.160
Charlie Detachment, is
deploying to Afghanistan.

00:14.160 --> 00:16.340
And their families are
saying their last goodbyes.

00:16.340 --> 00:17.570
For one of the soldiers,

00:17.570 --> 00:20.440
having a family member come to
take care of her two children

00:20.440 --> 00:22.840
while she's deploy is an invaluable asset

00:22.840 --> 00:24.250
to be grateful for.

00:24.250 --> 00:26.810
- I know that if my mom wasn't here,

00:26.810 --> 00:29.020
it would've been a challenge for me.

00:29.020 --> 00:30.256
Because then now, I've think about

00:30.256 --> 00:32.430
where I'm gonna send the kids.

00:32.430 --> 00:35.370
That way I don't have
to have all the stress

00:35.370 --> 00:37.040
and all the pressure,

00:37.040 --> 00:39.090
I don't have to take them out of school.

00:39.090 --> 00:41.800
They get to still be with their friends,

00:41.800 --> 00:44.140
it would've been so much for them

00:44.140 --> 00:48.630
transitioning from here to somewhere else.

00:48.630 --> 00:49.680
- [Jason Jones] After their goodbyes,

00:49.680 --> 00:51.700
the soldiers did their
final out-processing

00:51.700 --> 00:53.350
and begin to rely on each other

00:53.350 --> 00:55.910
to help them prepare
for their journey ahead.

00:55.910 --> 00:59.210
