Readiness<br />
Mandatory pre-deployment briefings are offered every<br />
Wednesday for any active-duty member who will be<br />
deployed or TDY 30 days or longer. Attendance is<br />
mandatory for active-duty service members. Spouses and<br />
family members are welcome to attend.<br />

Air Force members must maintain a continuous state<br />
of readiness. Being prepared to carry out the mission is<br />
everyone’s responsibility. It takes time and great effort to<br />
ensure that an Airman is prepared to carry out his or her<br />
military commitment and family obligations as well. At the<br />
A&FRC, we try to offset some of the stressors that may<br />
occur during separation due to a deployment or remote<br />
assignment. Regardless of a member’s status, the<br />
information and programs offered through our services<br />
can better prepare you for those situations.<br />
Support Services<br />
Deployment/remote assignments can be especially<br />
difficult for family members left behind. The A&FRC offers<br />
a variety of support programs and resources to help<br />
offset some of the stressors that families may encounter<br />
during separation. Morale calls, free oil change and child<br />
care vouchers, video phone links, emergency relief<br />
assistance and a resource room are just a few of the<br />
services available. Contact A&FRC for details.<br />
Post Deployment Support<br />
Although separation is often stressful and emotionally<br />
challenging, reintegration and reunion can be just<br />
as challenging. The A&FRC offers information and<br />
referral services to aid members and their families<br />
deal with the strains and stresses of reintegration and<br />
reunion … transitioning back to as joyful and stress-free<br />
lifestyle as possible.<br />
Personal Financial Readiness<br />
The Personal Financial Readiness consultant affords<br />
Air Force family members the opportunity to take<br />
advantage of financial management consultation if the<br />
need arises. The consultant also offers a variety of<br />
workshops that enhance the member’s knowledge of<br />
budgeting, investments and other programs to build<br />
toward a strong financial foundation.<br />
