TOP STORY > >LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE CAMPAIGN PLANS

Wednesday’s Wingman Day has been set aside for leadership and Airmen to stand down from the Team Little Rock’s mission to discuss important issues, give constructive feedback to leadership, develop the Wingman mentality and make Team Little Rock a great place to work. The theme for Wingman Day is “small course corrections make a big difference.” Our goal is to engage each Airman in an operational experience emphasizing responsible choices, team building and stress management to revitalize our culture of Airmen taking care of Airmen.

The feedback from previous Wingman days has shown where people are feeling stress and ideas for how to battle the signs of stress. Based on feedback like this, these campaign plans have been developed to address the problems our Airmen and families are facing due to being an Air Force at war.

The goal of the Building and Supporting Healthy Families campaign plan is to increase Air Force personnel awareness of the indicators and dynamics of family maltreatment including the emotional and financial costs resulting from family maltreatment and the negative impact family maltreatment has on the overall strategic mission of the Air Force. For more information, contact the Family Advocacy Officer at 987-7377.

The goal of the Education campaign plan is to build a partnership with parents, school administrators, private organizations and base leadership to champion world-class facilities, a safe learning environment and quality school performance for our dependent children. Through partnership, ensure public schools in our surrounding communities with Little Rock AFB dependent children enrolled rank in the top 25% of schools in the State of Arkansas as measured by standardized test scores.

As an end state, parents assigned to Little Rock AFB should be excited to live here due to the exceptional Central Arkansas public school opportunities available for their children. For more information, contact the Little Rock AFB School Liaison Officer at 987-6938.

The goal of the Fitness, Sports and Wellness campaign plan is to achieve 100 percent unit involvement in the Fitness, Sports and Wellness Advisory Council. Achieve and maintain 95 percent fitness assessment currency with increases in overall fitness levels. Maintain or exceed AFSVA 5-Star and Golden Eagle Standards for fitness and sports. Incorporate fitness, sports and wellness initiatives that involve Airmen and their families. For more information, contact the Fitness Center Director at 987-7716.

The goal of the Key Spouse campaign plan is to increase personal preparation for military members and their families before deployments, offer support to families during deployments, and assist in the identification of post-deployment stressors and provide avenues of release. Provide support to families of non-deployed members and serve as a valuable communication medium between squadron and wing leadership and family members on Quality of Life issues. For more information, contact the Airman and Family Readiness Flight chief at 987-6801.

The goal of the Personal Financial Management campaign plan is to increase Financial Readiness of Air Force members, Reservists, Guard, DoD civilians, and family members by providing personal financial management skills, on and off base resources, and alternatives to acquiring quick-fix high-interest loans to resolve money problems. For more information, contact the Airman and Family Readiness Flight chief at 987-6801.

The goal of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response campaign plan is to ensure that all victims of sexual assault receive the care and support they require and to use education and intervention as primary means of achieving an environment free of sexual assault. For more information, contact the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator at 987-2697.

The goal of the Deployment Preparation, Support and Return campaign plan is to increase personal preparation for military members and their families before deployments, offer support to families during deployments, and assist in the identification of post-deployment stress.
