Comments on: Army Needs to Reevaluate FRGs http://armywiveslives.com/2006/05/army-needs-to-reevaluate-frgs/ Military Spouse News and Views Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:52:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Chaotic Mom http://armywiveslives.com/2006/05/army-needs-to-reevaluate-frgs/comment-page-1/#comment-268 Chaotic Mom Mon, 21 May 2007 06:28:30 +0000 http://armywiveslives.com/?p=162#comment-268 I agree this is a tough issue. I've been around the military for 16+ years, have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. Many FRGs (used to be FSGs...). I think each one is VERY unique, lead by the military and volunteer leaders. You can have two companies in a BN with very different FRGs, one great and one very pathetic. I don't know if the need for an FRG should be reevaluated as much as the emphasis on the commander to make certain it's meeting the needs of the family members. I'm working my tail off right now to assist the CREATION of FRGs in our newly formed unit. And I'm taking the good experiences I've had, along with the yucky times, to help form our groups with as positive an attitude as possible. And tons of GRATITUDE for the volunteers, too. And I look forward to having a FRSA for support, to help take off the burden of paperwork on my family-stretched time. Hopefully we'll get a good FRSA, fingers crossed...

I would like to see the PD (although it may be a moot point since the titles are slightly different and we've been "told" that the position is disappearing soon) out of curiousity. Does it SPECIFICALLY list what the FRSA can and cannot do? I saw a description when they sent out ads for additional positions, but they were very general. I am DEFINITELY planning to put this as an AFAP issue next year. I was a delegate last year and after seeing what it is all about, that was the first thing I thought of! There needs to be a total Army solution to this over-reliance on volunteers.
