U.S. Air Force members talk about the traditions they have during the holidays and what they will miss the most being away from home.

No matter how busy we are, we must show up when our Airmen need us the most. #TitanStrong

U.S. Air Force Airmen participate in a discussion session with Chief Master Sgt. Justin Papalia, 39th Communications Squadron superintendent, after watching the Chief Master Sgt. Richard L. Etchberger episode from the Netflix Medal of Honor series at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, Dec. 17, 2018.

As a way to aid in the safety and readiness of Airmen across the installation, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Gary Bass, 39th Security Forces Squadron police services NCO in charge, developed the Midnight Titans as a way to provide community assistance to Airmen after hours. The program reinforces the Wingman concept by providing transportation to member's homes as well as walking with them when they need it, whether it is because they are making the right decision to prevent a DUI or just want someone to talk to along the way.
