Should you be selected to deploy while stationed at Whiteman you
can be assured that you will be properly informed of all military and personal
obligations you may have. The Family Support Center conducts a weekly
pre-deployment briefing, every Wednesday at 1:00 PM. If you are in a
mobility slot or if you are deploying, it is mandatory that you attend at least
yearly. We highly recommend that if you are put into a position to
deploy that you attend as soon as you are notified. There are
squadron support groups for spouses as well as a support group called "Hearts
Apart" conducted by the Family Support Center. We are also fortunate
to have an active "Key Spouse" program in each of the
squadrons. Should you have questions please contact the Readiness NCO
at the Family Support Center. The Air Force Aid Society provides
numerous programs dedicated to the families remaining behind. Also
special emphasis is placed on "Single Airmen" deploying to help them ensure that
all their needs are taken care of.
