Air force wingman day program

The program is a concerted effort by the AFMC to provide its Airmen with the skills and confidence they need to safely intervene when they see fellow Airmen entering into potentially harmful situations, both on and off duty.

So far, more than 30 interventions have been highlighted. If you become aware of situations in which personnel have recognized at-risk behaviors and proactively intervened, please contact your local Community Support Coordinator.

Treating people like kids is a first step toward rules for control, monitoring, surveillance, and punishment. Against this backdrop, consider the content of the following email excerpt, obtained by JQP from active servicemembers who received copies and were duly mortified :. This card shows a series of steps and actions to help Airman intervene when necessary. And the place where it was invented is apparently mislabeled.
