The Security Office is tasked with issuing access/proximity badges to everyone entering buildings 1230A and 1230B. Base personnel attending classes or needing access to these buildings will be required to report to building 1231 to be issued a badge.

The badge is to be displayed from the bottom of the name patch on the flight suit or bottom of the pocket flap on BDUs. Personnel found without an access/proximity badge will be sent to the Security Office in building 1231.
Motorcycle safety mandatory

In accordance with AFI 91-207 dated 22 May 2007, the following list of PPE (personal protective equipment) is mandatory for all personnel operating or riding as a passenger on any motorcycle, moped or motor scooter on Little Rock AFB.

1. DOT Approved helmet properly fastened under the chin.

2. Long sleeves/long pants.

3. Over the ankle, sturdy footwear.

4. Full fingered gloves.

5. Impact resistant face-shield, goggles, or wrap around glasses meeting Z87.1 ANSI standard (a windshield is NOT proper eye protection. Standard eyeglasses do not meet this standard).

6. Outer upper garment must be brightly colored during the day, reflective at night and not covered. A reflective belt worn diagonally across the torso still meets this requirement, (a back pack is authorized if it has brightly colored/reflective properties).

These standards also apply to all Air force personnel off base/off duty.
