    I believe that R & R is imperative in helping maintain the mental health or our enlisted. We can either use preventative measures or deal with more serious issues upon their return. Not to mention the effect on children's bonding with their parents.

    I am surprised that R&R was taken away. It's just common sense, not to mention compassion, to let our troops have a break, see their families, and gain some sense of normalcy!

    I think it is sad that this was even taken away from our service members. It's hard enough to deploy, taking away the R&R that they earned and hurting their moral is not right.

    I think that it should be 30 Days. Most office workers get 30 days paid vacation and still complain that they should have more because their job is so stressful. Our soldiers getting less is unacceptable.
