Taking it to our Airman through Fellowship • In 2006 along with the Chapel we started an Airman’s Center called, “Crossroads Café” which now falls under the Wing IDS/CoRC plan by providing an area focused on our target Airmen E-5 and below a place to: • Relax • Socialize • Play games • Use computers • Watch Movies All in a non-alcohol environment dedicated to a “Work Smart, Play Smart” attitude.
Taking it to the Airman through Services • Services Squadron (SVS) enacted: • More Non-alcohol trips • Outings • Concerts • In order to promote a responsible lifestyle that won’t empty your pocket book.
Health and Wellness Center (HAWC) • Brief every squadron annually at Commander’s Calls regarding Tobacco Cessation. • Medical Group providers will refer 100% of tobacco users to the HAWC for education. • Create pamphlets for off base providers to use when referring beneficiaries.
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) • Increase presence at Commander’s Calls. • Increase presence at base wide meetings/events. • Shirt’s meetings • Air Force Sergeants Association • Crossroads Café • Health fairs • Etc… • Augment information presented with educational materials about drinking responsibly, use of illegal substances, and consequences of violating this policy.
Integrated Delivery System (IDS) • The IDS is: • Advocating for a 314 AW Commander’s Policy Letter • Specifying policies limiting tobacco use for military and civilian personnel • Establishing Non-smoking as the norm. • Having all IDS agencies refer individuals to helping services.
Airman and Family Readiness Flight (A&FRF) • A&FRF will: • Continue to offer financial counseling but will add focus more on the financial impact of tobacco and alcohol use. • Show members and their dependents how this money can be used more productively.
The way of Little Rock AFB BG Self and Senior Leadership have embraced and are promoting the CoRC as the way we’re going to work and play at “The Rock.” Now let’s challenge each other to go Air Force wide.
