Year of the Air Force Family.

>>> Deployed Team Beale Family Members! <<<
Take advantage of free or discounted services with the DePLAYment Tag Pass. As part of the Year of the Air Force Family initiative the DePLAYment Tag Pass program provides relief and support to the families of deployed servicemen.
Here’s How It Works
Eligible* members can pick up their DePLAYment Tag Pass Packs at Beale’s Airman & Family Readiness Center. These tag-pass packs contain numbered “dog tags” that can be removed and placed on a key ring; much like the ones used at stores to indicate a frequent shopper. The tag-pass serves as unique identifier for each family and each family member. You simply pick up your DePLAYment Tag Pass Pack, then log on to www.myairforcelife.com to register. Once registered, you may use your tag-pass for discounts or FREE programs at participating 9th Force Support facilities.
Look for the DePLAYment “dog tags” throughout the Beale Stratosphere for more details on these DePLAYment events!
*Air Force active duty members with qualified family members, Deployed Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve (AFR) personnel with qualified family members, Air Force Wounded Warrior (AFW2) members with or without qualified family members, DoD ID card family members of Fallen Warriors, and Army/Navy/Marines Active Duty members ONLY when officially assigned (home station) to an active Air Force Base with qualified family members.
