Operation Kudos
The Robins Airman and Family Readiness Center conducted the Kids Understanding Deployment Operations, or KUDOS, event for Team Robins Saturday. The event was held to help educate children in a fun way about deployments, give parents and children talking points to later discuss and alleviate the children’s stress and curiosity about a parent’s deployment. Forty-one children and 27 adults convened at the A&FRC for in-processing; children were issued access badges, orders and gear. They were then bused to Bldg. 127 where Col. Lynn Marshall, 78th Mission Support Group commander, welcomed the children and officially got the event started. The children received briefings, scanned bags, weighed in, were provided an "Airmen" lunch, and walked through the deployment line. They were then taken by bus to Gator Air Base for face painting, night-vision goggles, MRE taste test, obstacle course, K-9 demo and a ride on a military vehicle. (AF Courtesy photo)
