First of all, make sure you have all your important papers
(orders, medical records, SITES, etc.) with you - not packed with your household
goods. Telephone numbers for your Commander, Orderly Room, & your
sponsor can be invaluable in case of emergency while in transit. Look for the
nearest installation while on route to Malmstrom for help and emergency relief
procedures for financial aid (all branches of the service financial aid areas
work together). The American Red Cross is always available for
emergency assistance anywhere you may be. Contact the nearest chapter
or call toll free to 1-877-272-7337.
The Air Force Aid Society on base will
help with emergency services for all military members. The member
needs to speak with their 1st Sgt or Commander first and then make an
appointment with the proper staff member at the Airman and Family Readiness
Flight. Be sure to bring a copy of your latest, end of the month LES
and any documentation you might have to justify your financial need. The
American Red Cross will help with notification in emergency situations or with
civilian needs. Military members needing emergency leave must contact their 1st
Sgt or Supervisor.
