� Family Morale, Welfare, and Recreation<br />

(FMWR)—offers many activities monthly for<br />

Soldiers, Families, and the community. Serves<br />

the needs, interests, and responsibilities of<br />

each individual including those in IET with<br />

support and leisure services designed to enhance the quality<br />

of their lives for as long as they are associated with the <strong>Army</strong>,<br />

no matter where they are. FMWR pledges to meet the needs<br />

of Families in IET -- active, Reserve, and Guard Soldiers,<br />

civilian employees, retirees, all respective Family members,<br />

and other eligible participants.<br />

www.myarmyonesource.com serves as the website of choice<br />

for <strong>Army</strong> Families. It is sponsored by the Family and Morale,<br />

Welfare and Recreation Command (FMWRC) Family<br />

Programs Directorate whose mission is to maintain the<br />

readiness of individuals, Families and communities including<br />

those in IET by developing, coordinating, and delivering<br />

services which promote resiliency and stability during their<br />

tour.<br />

� Debt Management— Some IET cadre find themselves in<br />

financial hardship. Some come out of theater or from overseas<br />

with various incentive pays and must adjust to CONUS / IET<br />

living. Classes are offered through the Financial Readiness<br />

Program under ACS as well as AER loans. Some things to keep<br />

in mind about finances: watch spending, make a budget, take<br />

advantage of counseling programs, and try saving special duty<br />

pay.<br />

� Medical / Dental— Healthcare facilities are structured to<br />

support IET Soldiers on the large IET posts who require care.<br />

Expect IET Soldiers to be prioritized when visiting these<br />

facilities.<br />
