How to go about getting home because of a Family Care Plan issue?

Question

I am a member of the National Guard. I am currently serving in Iraq for the second time. My mother is my primary care giver to my daughter on my Family Care Plan. She is having a tough time due to some medical issues and really needs me home to take care of my daughter. I need to know the process of getting back home where I am needed.

Answer 1

If your mother is currently unable to properly care for your daughter she needs to contact the local chapter of the American Red Cross. They will evaluate the situation and send a message to your command with their recommendations. This process is really very quick and normally takes a few days or less.

Answer 2

You need to talk to your chain of command if your family care plan isn't working.
If not your mother may need to call the red cross to get you home on an emergency basis...they might give you time to straighten out your family care plan if not they will most likely start a chapter. Good luck

FCP isn't for daycare purposes!!! why unit CO's attempt to tug this ****!!! The FCP is for DEPLOYMENT purposes purely!!! She desires to locate a Nanny, or a daycare provider it quite is an in-abode or she desires to pass to IG so she would be in a position to be placed on a shift which will enable her to get daycare it quite is between the hours of 6AM- 6PM, Commanders could attain that till there's a 24 hour daycare ON post, some unmarried mum and dad won't be in a position to be compelled to do this till the youngster is of age tobe a latchkey youngster!!! pass to JAG!!!! ex-unmarried discern mom/SOLDIER
