  • Combat Excellence-Always on Mission 2 Combat Excellence from the WING COMMANDER
    Special Edition June 2016 Combat Excellence-Always on Mission 2 Combat Excellence From The WING COMMANDER COL. TIM DONNELLAN Warriors of the 124th Fighter Wing - I hope this publication finds our deployed members settling into their new schedules, and our next round of RCP deployers finalizing their preparation for departure. This is another special edition of the Beacon, but unlike our last one that focused solely on deployment preparation, this one will discuss sustainment for those who are already in place. I hope you will find the articles and announcements in here useful and insightful, as we all learn to adjust to this “new normal”. The city of Boise and the Treasure Valley as a whole have been absolutely phenomenal in their level of support, and we’re just getting started! Our family support staff has been receiving offers weekly and is creating a calendar of events. These events and programs, some of which are for deployed member’s families and some of which are for all military, including special offers and programs. They are not for the intent of giving a financial benefit, but for the purpose of truly wanting to make life easier during the deployment. The city of Boise has rolled out their “Our Troops, Our Families” program which is gaining momentum. If you are the spouse of an airman, whether deployed or not, you should have been contacted already by someone in your organization. This person will be providing you with information on various programs, Yellow Ribbon, and special events. If you have not been contacted, please get in touch with either your first sergeant or commander and let them know you haven’t heard from anyone.
