WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE, Mass. -- --  The 439th Airlift Wing Public Affairs office will host the annual Employer Day Oct. 4 with events scheduled at the Westover Club, a "Dogpatch deployment" and a C-5 orientation flight.
The goals of Employer Day are to provide employers of reservists the opportunity to learn about the 439th Airlift Wing's mission and to garner their support as employers of Air Force reservists.
During past Employer Days, employers have been treated to mock mobility line processing, MOPP gear training and orientation as well as briefings from various offices on base.
This year, the PA staff plans to take the concept a step further with a mock deployment to the Dogpatch training area of the base where employers will eat MRE lunches, and perform various Airman's Manual-inspired exercises. As in years past, a C-5 flight is also scheduled for the employers and their reservists.
Reservists who would like to participate in Employer Day should contact PA with names, social security numbers and contact information of the attending employers.
