Culture Training Coming for USFK Dependents
|From the Stars & Stripes:
….. USFK will mandate that incoming family members attend orientation training as they arrive on the peninsula, something other commands have done successfully on a smaller scale at various Pacific bases.Â
(…) The revised policy does two things, said Air Force Col. Mark C. Vlahos, assistant chief of staff, J-1. It directs commanders to create an orientation for family members, and it makes family attendance mandatory.
“That’s a key word right there — mandatory,†Vlahos said. “When we give command sponsorship out to a spouse, they have certain responsibilities.â€
Getting the command sponsored families to attend will be the easy part, getting all the non-command sponsored family members to attend is a whole other matter.Â
I can see it now…"OK, everyone board the tour bus. Non-command sponsored families move to the back of the bus, please."
