Reserve military members and families require family support; however, support needs may increase in war. Stress may stem from entering active duty or change in family situations. This ethnographic study illuminates patterns of activation through deactivation of reserve military members, their families, family support personnel, and commanders during the Persian Gulf War. The sample included 59 individuals. Five themes were uncovered: (1) staying connected, (2) living with war, (3) fluctuating emotions, (4) refocus your sense of life, and (5) challenges of living the day-to-day. This study contributes to understanding family support experience from activation through deactivation. Recommendations are offered.
