481-RIDE

Left to right: Tech. Sgt Jason Soule, 97th Training Squadron, Chief Master Sgt. Philip Topper, 97th Air Mobility Wing command chief, Senior Master Sgt. Chris Hargis, 97th TRS first sergeant and Staff Sgt. Jon Jackson, Airmen Against Drunk Driving Program Director, display pre-paid “Dial-A-Ride” cards. The cards were purchased for junior enlisted personnel stationed at Altus with proceeds from the 97th Operations Group’s first ever fundraising event in support of “Wingman Day ’06.” Sixty-three volunteers from the 97th OG, led by Sergeant Soule, raised more than $1,000 washing windows and manning the gas pumps at the AAFES Gas Station on base. The cards provide 24-hour, seven-days-a-week AADD service to all active duty, Reserve, Guard, civilian and family members within the city of Altus. The cards will be distributed by first sergeants to personnel within their units prior to the Christmas holiday. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Joshua DeMotts)
