Thrown back: Reintegration experiences of National Guard/Reserve mothers of young children

Few studies have examined the experiences and perceptions of servicewoman mothers and their children, even as an increasing number of them have experienced deployment and combat exposure. The present paper describes a qualitative study that explored National Guard/Reserve (NG/R) mothers' experiences with mothering and co‐parenting during reintegration and their perceived priorities, supports, challenges and needs. Interpretive phenomenological analysis of seven in‐depth qualitative interviews produced themes including reunion and loneliness, the importance of time, help seeking and gendered experiences. Notably, all participants transitioned immediately back into primary caregiver roles upon homecoming, and several described how difficult it was to readjust while privately dealing with unmet mental health needs. Findings underscore the importance of a flexible suite of service options that meet key needs, most importantly, child care, social–emotional support for children and peer‐based parenting support specific to servicewoman mothers. For NG/R mothers, who may live far from base, community‐based services are essential, but as participants described, civilian social workers and other professionals must develop specialized knowledge, skills and experience to provide appropriate support.

《梦溪笔谈》“殿门天武官”考析

沈括《梦溪笔谈》"车驾行幸"条中,有关文字校正为"殿门天武官"相对较妥。殿门天武官的职责和身份特征与北宋宽衣天武禁军基本一致,应是宽衣天武禁军之俗称。宽衣天武是北宋皇宫宿卫禁军之一,平时主要承担把守殿门的任务,出行时则作为仪仗队伍的前导,其军士具有年纪偏大、选拔时重视身材外表、军服宽大等特点。
