Air Force officials launch new community Web site

  • Published
Beginning Oct. 1, Air Force officials here will introduce a new Web site for Airmen and their families that provides a 24/7 resource for information on topics like relocation, military child education and finances.

The new site phases out the "AF Crossroads" Web site while assuring most of the same services are still available to all users.

Programs such as "Plan My Move," spouse employment job sites and scholarship information can be found there, as well as new features like videos and podcasts of Air Force news and events from around the world.

"The Web site was created with our Airmen and families in mind," said Maj. Karen Terry from the Pentagon Airman and Family Services Division. "We wanted to be able to offer them helpful information on topics that affect their daily lives, and give them the ability to access it whenever and wherever they wanted. This site allows us to do that."

The site's appearance is streamlined to make it easier for users to find what they are looking for within a few clicks of the mouse. Although the Web site is now a "dot mil" site in order to comply with security requirements, it will still be accessible by all Airmen and their families from any computer.

Visitors interested in joining chat rooms and discussion boards to communicate with other Air Force family members can do so at www.militaryonesource.com or www.militaryhomefront.com. Also beginning Sept. 30, GI Mail will no longer be available.

The new Air Force Community Web site will be located at www.afcommunity.af.mil. For more information, contact the McGuire Airman and Family Readiness Center at (609) 754-3154 or visit the new site.
