Field Problems. Army and National Guard Family Question and Answer Column. Military Q&A Column.

We will deliver on-site workshops to Army posts and Guard/Reserve units world-wide. Workshops will be geared toward informing families on how to capitalize on the DA and DOD services already provided for them--empowering individuals to make the right choices in their relationship, career, or personal lives and encouraging an outlet for relief and creativity in today’s hectic, over-stressed military lifestyle.

Specifically, you present us with your Field Problem™ and then, we build and execute the Field Exercise™ to combat that problem. Solutions come about as a result of a career’s worth of experience with military moves, deployments, and marriages to the military.

We, Crooks and Henderson, believe that, while the road is tough, it is traversable, and the journey of a military family has inherent value measured in enriched life experiences, pride, and sense of honor. All our military families need are battle buddies willing to mentor and empower them for the duration of their enlistment. We will speak to your FRG, OSC, ESC, or Army community at-large.

FieldExercises™ will always be about getting service members and families together to see the faces of individuals also facing military culture shock and localized challenges and to allow networking for long-lasting, satisfying relationships on their post or in their community.

Pitch us your idea, obtain pricing information, and request availability by contacting us.

Feedback from Field Exercise: Priceless Packages

Thank you for the awesome "field exercise" event. It was much more than I expected and I feel honored to know you. I wish you both the very best!

I attended the "Priceless Packages" workshop held at Fort Stewart on May 15. I cannot thank you enough for pulling that together and sharing it with our community! I appreciate the fabulous goody/gift bags you provided us. I also enjoy the list of resources because I believe that knowledge is power. Your generosity will never be forgotten!

I attended the Priceless Packages event [May 15th], and it was AWESOME! The both of you did a super job in presenting the workshop, and I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to you to express my gratitude. Many thanks!

Congratulations on a wonderfully executed (and well attended) event. You both did a great job and left a very indelible mark on these ladies .... God bless you both for the great work you do for our Heroes @ Home!

Being there as a supporter and a wife of a deployed soldier was great I met a lot of wives like me and I was able to pamper them for an evening because the evening was all about them. We also learned things that are useful and we learned that we are not alone!

The Field Exercise at Ft Bragg on 17 Oct was the best spouse support event we have seen in over 35+ years of active duty/retirement including multiple assignments and locations. The gift packages from USAA and local vendors were superb and the spouses had a great time! Can’t wait for the next one! Thank you Tara and Star!

Dale & Deb, Vendor, Military Avenue

Tara and Star’s passion for helping military spouses is clearly evident by the tangible energy and personality they put into their Field Exercises. It was on display for all to see at Ft Bragg October 17 when they transformed the O’club ballroom into a place of refuge and refreshment for more than 120 deployment-weary military spouses. Once again, they demonstrated that taking care of the little things makes the biggest impact.
