My husband is currently enlisted in the Army Reserves and has served in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I'm not sure if it's standard operating procedure or just a precautionary measure put in place by his command battalion, but I routinely get calls from a military victim's assistance center. They question his behaviors at home pertaining to both abuse and just plain odd behavior. They've also given me many different phone numbers to contact in case of emergency. We've never had a problem, but it's comforting to me to know that there is someone out there I could talk to if ever we did. If this isn't a standard practice throughout our military, it certainly should be. As we've witnessed, many of these women need someone who will be "on their side".
