Contact information for key programs and services at this installation.
Deployment can be a challenging phase of the military lifecycle, but it’s important to know that you don’t have to go through it alone. The military provides a variety of resources and support programs — ranging from educational briefings to morale calls — for your loved ones, children and service members to ease the stress of deployment. Military members may be assigned to a specific installation but support may come from local communities, Yellow Ribbon events or the installation itself.
Deployment is a fact of life for military members and their families. The Military & Family Readiness Center offers a variety of programs and services to help cope with the challenges and hardships of a deployment. Before each deployment, you will have the opportunity to attend a Pre-Deployment Briefing where you will be given specific information about what to expect, and what programs that are being offered. Once the military member has deployed, the Readiness NCO will keep in contact with you on a monthly basis, and the unit Key Support Liaison will keep in contact with the spouse on a weekly basis via e-mail to inform them of upcoming events around the base and local community. If your spouse has deployed and you have note received communication from the unit KSL, please contact the M&FRC and we will be happy to assist you in making that connection with your unit KSL.
The following programs are available to the families of deployed members.
Deployment Briefings
Military & Family Readiness Center hosts both the Pre-Deployment and Post-Deployment briefings once per week. To register for a pre or post deployment briefing, please call the M&FRC at 907-377-2178.
Give Parents A Break
This program offers a break to families who face the ongoing stress of deployment, family separation, extended TDY, or an emergency situation. Free childcare is provided at the base Child Development Center and School Age Program one day per month. To receive your certificate for free childcare, please call the Military & Family Readiness Center at 907-377-2178.
Free Bowling
Arctic Nite Lanes Bowling Center offers free bowling for families who have a loved one deployed or serving on a remote tour. They offer free games on Wednesdays. The Bowling Center has a list of family members.
