Airmen in Afghanistan are standing “yankee, go home” on its head by distributing clothes, school supplies, and toys under an adopt-a-village program orchestrated by the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing, Bagram AB, Afghanistan. A recent haul netted some 1,200 pounds of donations, most of which come from donors in America. “Hopefully programs like this can continue so more Afghan children will get to see the kindness in the hearts of the American people,” said SSgt. Matt Greene, deployed from Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.
Air Force Basic Military Training leaders say changes implemented as part of BMT 2.0 are generating positive results so far—especially when it comes to creating “airminded” new Airmen.
