Selain terpaksa meninggalkan anak isteri serta ibu bapa selama mungkin seminggu dua ataupun berminggu-minggu mengikut tugasan. Mereka juga risaukan tentang kita, kita juga risaukan mereka sepeninggalan kita bertugas di luar negara. Kawan-kawan mungkin nampak hebat, kita terbang sana terbang sini, tetapi bagaimana pula perasaan ahli keluarga terutama anak-anak kita yang masih kecil, baru seminggu dua pulang dari tugasan luar  liputan banjir dalam Malaysia, hendak terbang pula ke luar…
