由洛根提出并由平卡斯、豪斯、克里斯滕森和阿尔德改编的部署情绪周期经常被学者和军事支持机构用来定义、解释和提供关于军人家属在部署阶段的经历和可能的情绪反应的建议。与军队伙伴的访谈表明，时空经验和观点比部署的情感周期所提供的要复杂得多。本文认为，应用限制的概念揭示了其中的一些复杂性，说明了在部署过程中经历的中间时间，否则这些时间是隐藏的。军队伙伴在部署和部署阶段之间穿梭，受到过去和未来部署幽灵的困扰。通过颠覆看似按时间顺序和离散的时空叙事，这些叙事往往框定了对军人家庭和部署的研究，本文展示了军队合作伙伴如何在部署和部署阶段之间穿行，并就过去和未来的部署进行谈判。它展示了他们如何不断适应和发展实践，同时谈判解释的过去和想象的未来，以追求成为“理想”。
The emotional cycle of deployment theorized by Logan and adapted by Pincus, House, Christenson, and Alder is often applied by academics and military support agencies to define, explain, and provide advice on the experiences and possible emotional reactions of military families during phases of deployment. Interviews with army partners showed that spatiotemporal experiences and perspectives are more complex than those afforded by the emotional cycle of deployment. This article argues that applying the concept of liminality uncovers some of this complexity, illuminating the in-between times experienced during deployments that are otherwise hidden. Army partners move through and between deployments and deployment phases haunted by specters of past and future deployments. By disrupting seemingly chronological and discrete spatiotemporal narratives, which often frame research on military families and deployment, this article demonstrates how army partners move through and between deployments and deployment stages negotiating past and future deployments. It shows how they continuously adapt and evolve practices while negotiating interpreted pasts and imagined futures in pursuit of becoming "ideal."
