‘Hackin’ the Mish' at CAFB

COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. - Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB) will be hosting "Fight’s On: Airmen Hackin’ the Mish" professional development day for personnel and civilians of the 14th Flying Training Wing on Dec. 7. The event is designed to connect personnel with one another by learning about fellow airmen’s combat missions and experiences in today’s AF, and to help understand how CAFB contributes to those missions. Various career field representatives, including tactical air control, security forces, combat weather, pilots and explosive ordnance disposal, will be speaking. “We selected battlefield airmen … because they are enlisted, non-flyers who have been in combat and can connect with our airmen through their experiences,” said Maj. Thomas Hyde, 14th Flying Training Wing’s Commander’s Action Group chief. Pilots were selected because they can connect to CAFB student-pilots through their flying experiences. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Columbus Club and is open to all 14th FTW officers, enlisted and civilians. Questions about the event, please contact the Commander’s Action Group at (662) 434-1410. (Source: 14th Flying Training Wing 11/30/18)
