Yeah, friends and Family,” that’s how my fellow AW2 Soldier Family Management Specialists (SFMS) think of all of you, “friends and Family.” This is Larry Rivera, AW2’s SFMS in New York City, and I have the privilege of serving you and your Family alongside some of the most distinguished and accomplished Soldier/Family advocates in the world. I bet you just asked yourself, “Who are these folks?” and “Where did they come from?”
Well, I’m proud to tell you that my fellow SFMS team members were all selected from among the very best of Soldiers, veterans and government contractors. On our SFMS team we have Soldiers of various ranks from the active, reserve and National Guard components. We have educators, licensed practitioners, administrators and business managers too. We’re also fortunate to have on the team AW2 Family members who walk in your shoes every day, and teach the rest of us what it takes to be as courageous as you are. And behind each SFMS is a dynamic headquarters team reflective of all our military services, civilian trades and predisposed to engage problems and reinforce solutions.
We ask for our Soldiers to be as bold in their recovery as they were in service to our country and for you to take comfort in knowing that wherever an AW2 Soldier or Family is, an SFMS with all kinds of resources is there too. With deliberate intent SFMS team members have been embedded in critical over-watch locations and facilities across the nation.
A message to our Soldiers: We want you to rest in confidence knowing that your AW2 team is at the vanguard of your recovery, in service to you, your Family and your buddies. Hooah!
