[Mountain Sound Off Posts] Army Spouse Sound-Off: By shortening the overall length of the deployments and/or increasing the length of time spent stateside, you allow more time to recover from the previous tour, which in turn eases the stress and strain on the soldiers and the families: More holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events can be spent together, more time is available to work through family crises, and, additionally, could allow for more time for training, etc., but wouldn't have to occur so often or close together. To put it simply: 12 months is just not enough time home when you subtract the time spent in training, in schools, in the field, etc, and then ask for seemingly back-to-back deployments of 12 months with only two weeks of R&R leave to come home to see family.

It didn't *feel* sufficient to justify its top slot.
