HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. --  The Air Force's Wingman Stand Down 2010 was in May, but that doesn't mean Airmen's focus should shift away from safety and well-being.

"As the Air Force enters into this year's 101 Critical Days of Summer, I would like to reinforce the importance of the Wingman concept," said Gen. Donald Hoffman, Air Force Materiel Command commander, in a June 9 memo to headquarters staff and AFMC center and installation commanders. "Part of being good Wingmen is to know what resources are available in our Wingman 'toolbox.'"

That toolbox is larger than many might think.

"I know that many of you are aware of immediate personal survival resources such as your local chaplain services or health and wellness centers," General Hoffman said. "However, there are many other agencies and services available to you."

General Hoffman directed that each AFMC installation make readily available a list of those agencies and services, ranging from health and wellness, to finances, to family relationships. The list for Hanscom Air Force Base is provided with this article.

"Personal survival is not just important during the 101 Critical Days of Summer; it is critical every day. We cannot afford to lose a single Airman in the world's greatest Air Force," General Hoffman said. "Stay safe, and be vigilant!"
