And if you like team sports and competition, you'll be interested in some of the many intramural and varsity sports programs on base- like football, basketball, softball, bowling, and other sports. Many bases have golf courses, tennis courts, athletic fields, riding clubs, and shooting ranges. Besides a dining room, which usually serves at least lunch and dinner daily, the club carries out a continuing program of parties, dinners, and other entertainment. Many have swimming pools and tennis courts. In the base chapel, chaplains of different faiths conduct services and ceremonies according to their faith or denomination.
Worship is an important part of life on the base.
Air Force members are free to attend, or not attend, religious services of their choice, either on base or off. Most air bases provide chapel services for people of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths. Air Force fire fighters and disaster preparedness teams provide quick reaction protection of our base resources as well as providing preventative education for all of the base populace. Primary Versus Auxiliary Installations - Air Force installations have different names and designations, and are classified as either primary or auxiliary installations. A primary installation is one, which is self-supporting and has facilities for administrative and operational activities to carry out a specific mission.
