Transition and reintegration is extremely difficult for military families, because they have to move from town to town or even from country to country, that is why, those families have to overcome difficult situations. Military families are not families in general understanding, because they do not have their house, they are not able to create their own traditions that apply to the traditions of their homeland, they cannot see their relatives, and, what is more important, their feelings have to overcome severe difficulties. People should love each other very much in order to move overseas and adjust to completely new environment.
It is obvious that military families cannot settle in one place, they have to move in case the husband or wife (depending on who is on military service) is ordered to move. They are not able to carry all their goods with them because they do not have their own flat or house (MacDermid & Riggs, 2011). Their children have to suffer a lot, because they move from school to school which has an impact on their education and socialization, they do not have true friends being pupils. If stationed overseas, military families have to accumulate to a new culture which they may not like, however, they have to adjust to new traditions, to new sometimes unknown language, to people of different character. If a woman wants to work, it will be difficult for her to find a good job because she may have problems with language or with nationality, or her diploma may not be recognized in a new country.
