Most of the services mentioned in the above narrative are available at the M&FRC. However, we do not have a Car Care Center on base, so we do not provide the Air Force Aid Society program Car Care Because We Care. Also, we do not have a Loan Closet, but there is an Airman's Attic at Fort MacArthur.

We hold Transition Assistance Program workshops once a month, and we conduct pre-separation counseling every first and third Monday of the month.

The Discovery Center features six computers with internet capability. These are not connected to the local area network, so while you can access your personal email here you can't access your base account. The computers are mostly used for job searches, resume building, apartment searches and test taking for on-base positions.
