The Petty Family | The Homefront

Learn about dual military families in this clip from The Homefront. Air Force Technical Sergeant Sherrika Petty, and her husband, Staff Sergeant Renner Petty based at Joint Base Charleston face a unique set of challenges as a dual-military family. Together they work to balance their military responsibilities and parenting responsibilities for their six-year-old daughter Kylie. As a dual military couple, the possibility of deployments is always looming and they discuss the plans necessary to ensure Kylie is cared for. Both Renner and Sherrika talk about their appreciation for the benefits offered by the military—in particular, the heath care, which helps to pay for the extremely expensive medication Sherrika takes for a medical condition.
