Military Childrens Perceptions of Parents Frequent Missile Base Deployments

Abstract

Military children at Minot AFB, North Dakota face many challenges other military children are not exposed to due to the unique nuclear mission and location in North Dakota. They have parents that go to a Military Alert Facility (MAF) to maintain Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) for 24 to 96 hours each week. This qualitative study is designed to bring awareness of challenges these children face year round. The study will allow them to describe their experience in their own words to gain an essence of their life as it is lived in their world.
