outreachpros Commissary Awareness Month Tammy Moody Office of Communication Commissaries stay busy year-round, but May easily rated as one of the busiest months for commissaries around the world. Military members don game face in Commissary Commando competition During May, DeCA celebrated Commissary Awareness Month with a number of events geared toward introducing as many authorized shoppers as possible to the great savings their commissary offers. Marines at Camp Lejeune, N.C., enjoy the commissary’s tricycle race, one event in the Commissary Commando competition during Commissary Awareness Month. DeCA photo: Danny Fisher Awareness month events included the annual Commissary Commando competition. This contest challenges single service member groups from all branches of the armed forces to compete to see who can introduce the most single troops to their commissary benefit. They do this by engaging them in fun, fact-filled tours and creative competitions like turkey bowling, shopping cart races, eating contests, scavenger hunts and physical fitness challenges. Individual winners of the smaller competitions receive bikes, skateboards, food and other prizes. Single service member groups can then submit their program ideas, along with the number of troops participating in their tours, to DeCA to compete for cash prizes provided by a coalition of food industry partners who are part of the American Logistics Association’s Consumer Awareness Team. Last year, the Single Airman Program at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, won the grand prize, and this year the group hoped to top their record 5,261 participants. Contest results are expected to be announced in September.� 11
