Team,
We are transitioning to ROADCON Red due to very slippery roads. Max speed limit is 15 mph if you must travel due to work or for necessities. While travel is not prohibited, for your own safety and others, please only travel if necessary.
Team,
ROADCON for the installation is now YELLOW.
Current Wx Forecast: Saturday: 4-6 inches of snow with visibility dropping to 1/2 mile, Sunday: 1-2 additional inches of snow ending late afternoon or evening. Temps: Low of 7, High of 25.
This week we welcomed the 8th Air Force command team. They toured several base facilities, to include the medical group, RAPCON, security forces, and ALS, and were able to speak with the many men and women who make our mission possible.
The Air Force will host a series of virtual public hearings in October to allow members of the public to learn about the B-21 “Raider” project and provide comments.
