Commentary by Airman 1st Class Brooke Busby
65th Medical Operations Squadron & 65th Air Base Wing Single and Unaccompanied Member Representative
7/20/2012 - LAJES FIELD, Azores, Portugal -- Resiliency is an important term we use here at Lajes Field and in the Air Force. At the 65th Air Base Wing's quarterly Community Action Information Board meeting, all of our wing leadership come together to discuss what we can do better for our Lajes "A"irmen.
At the June CAIB meeting, one thing wing leadership discussed was how important it is to actually know our people down to the lowest level; not just as Airmen, but as people. This helps us understand that when we have a problem, we don't have to be scared to tell our supervisors or even just the person sitting next to us.
As an airman first class and the wing's Single and Unaccompanied Member representative at the CAIB, I am always asked to bring my opinion to the table about Lajes and what I have been offered here. I think it's great being a single Airman stationed at this base. It seems like every other day, our wing has thought of some new idea to get people involved.
When it comes to resiliency, I feel like Lajes has only the best to offer to help our members bounce back from whatever is going on in their lives. We have so many programs, events and seminars throughout the year, which the Force Support Squadron and others do an amazing job publicizing.
For Airmen at Lajes, there are so many ways to feel like part of the "Lajes Goodness." Take advantage of them.
