Public Affairs<br />
It’s not a routine business. One day you may host reporters visiting your base. The next day you may conduct a meeting between<br />
base officials and local business and civic leaders. The following day you could review the base newspaper before it is published.<br />
It’s a diversified career area in which you’ll use all your public relations and communications skills.<br />
