I always had a box of toys for folks that brought their kids in with them, and I made sure there was something my daughter would like to play with in there just in case. Unfortunately, since I am an Intelligence Officer, I can't bring her to work unless it's for a promotion or something like that. She would be bored out of her mind if she did come to work anyways... and she would lose her image of me being like James Bond... 'cause that's what we do in MI :DResponse by CW2 Jonathan Kantor made Sep 4 at 2014 5:45 AM2014-09-04T05:45:54-04:002014-09-04T05:45:54-04:00MAJ Private RallyPoint Member227304<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My 17 yr old son did an internship at USACEHR this last summer via SEAP. Did a summer at WRAIR before that in the GEMS program. If you all don't know about the options for your kids, PM me and I'll bring you up to speed. We as military have benefits that can really help our kids.Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 4 at 2014 6:29 AM2014-09-04T06:29:18-04:002014-09-04T06:29:18-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member227561<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-8348"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

My situation was a little unique or maybe the unit personnel were I don't know. I traveled from 8+ hours away to my unit and most times I took my son because I had no where to leave him. At first I used the family assistance program at a nearby post because they had a babysitting network. When members of the unit found out, they offered to have my son stay with them and on a few occasions I took him to the unit with me. He had a great experience there sometimes the armorer or motorpool SGTs would take him and show him their areas, later they taught different things regarding their areas. Once when I was in meetings the S3 Maj carried him around telling everyone he belonged to him. One day when my day began at 4 am with meetings (it was family day at the unit also) I took him in and at the end of the day, when we were leaving he got in the back seat and laid down, then he sat up and said, "Thank you Mom". I said, "For what?". He said, "For taking me to work with you." It had been an exhausting day for him and I was surprised to hear him say this. My son is a teen now and has many of these soldiers as Facebook friends. He refers to them as "Our Army Family".Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made May 12 at 2015 10:28 AM2015-05-12T10:28:37-04:002015-05-12T10:28:37-04:00PO3 Erica Mackey661932<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>my daughter loves to go to work with her daddy and "see the guys".

There was a group of civ kids(not dependents that were asking to be adopted for a day so they could be part of career day on base, I had to check the protocol and I did that.. I had 7th grade young man who had interest in joining the AF.. His mom came with him and she was entertained out in the dining area by a staff clerk while her son worked with me getting an entree and support item prepped.. which I believed was a sauce .. I guided him through proper knife skills and making the sauce using a flour n buttter roux and some drippings and beef base to enhance the flavor .. He did a good job .. too bad he was too young to join then.Response by SSgt Boyd Herrst made May 13 at 2019 2:38 PM2019-05-13T14:38:11-04:002019-05-13T14:38:11-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member4632927<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Makes me feel good too when my daughter comes over to my work, then having lunch with her.
