Fifteenth Air Force commander Maj. Gen. Chad Franks & Command Chief Master Sgt. Benjamin Hedden visited @creechafb to meet with the #HunterFamily. Despite only having a day, it was paramount to ensuring the #Hunters meet 15th Air Force expectations another 364 days, and more.

Have a plan this New Year’s Eve! Don’t drink & drive. We want all of our 15th Air Force Warriors to go into 2021 with us. #Goodbye2020
As the @USAirForce begins to administer #COVID19 vaccines, I strongly ask that each of our #Airmen consider receiving it. Your safety and the well-being of our Airmen are paramount.
#GenMilley: “Today I, along with the Vice Chairman and the SEAC, received the #COVID19 vaccine. It’s my distinct honor to represent the Joint Force in this capacity. This vaccine is safe and effective and will protect our force as we work to protect American citizens.”

Are your children eagerly awaiting Santa? Or, secretly are you? We know we are! Don’t forget, they can track Santa’s progress throughout the night here -- noradsanta.org/. #NORADtracksSanta
Whatever you celebrate or don’t, it’s a time to spend together with family & enjoy magic & wonder of season. Happy Holidays!
Many of our #15AF units participate in Air Force tradition of tree lighting ceremony. Do you or your family have any traditions this time of year? Whether tied to a holiday or not, we want to know what they are.
In keeping with sweet treats this month, what is your favorite cupcake flavor? Do you have a particular way you like to eat them? #NationalCupcakeDay
Happy Chanukah to those Airmen who celebrate! Today starts 8-day “festival of lights.”
We inherited heritage of units we gained becoming 15th Air Force … heritage that traces back to WWI & missions in Pacific. Let us take time out of our day to remember those lives lost and changed forever by the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
This time of year is one of joy, magic, family, and celebration. Please don’t ruin it with unsavory comments. Thank you.
What’s your favorite cookie? Each year, cookie drives across 15th Air Force units bring together delicious morsels to provide cheer & sugar to deployed members & Airmen in the dorms. #NationalCookieDay
One of the steps for handwashing is scrubbing hands for 20 seconds while humming tune. We’re wondering … what song do you hum/sing to while washing your hands? #HandwashingAwarenessWeek #COVID19
