331 RCS focuses on the family

In the spirit of “Year of the Recruiting Family,” several spouses from the 331st Recruiting Squadron, and their families, recently attended a brunch at the squadron’s annual training conference in Destin, Fla. The event addressed a wide range of concerns from educational opportunities for spouses to Tricare health benefits. It also gave spouses the opportunity to learn about one of the Air Force’s newest programs, the Military Spouse Career Advancement Account, or MyCAA, which provides a number of services for spouses of active-duty Airmen. Lt. Col. Mike Brantley, 331 RCS commander said “The Air Force has long been recognized for exceptional commitment to families and recruiting duty is arguably one of the most challenging jobs in the Air Force on families. We want to ensure our Airmen and their families know and take advantage of the multitude of programs and services available to improve their quality of life.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Michele Brantley)
