INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey -- The Army and Air Force Hometown News Service Holiday Greetings team is scheduled to visit Incirlik Oct. 22-24 to film holiday messages from base members to their hometown TV and radio stations.

Three Joint Hometown News Service team members will set up shop in front of the Base Exchange Thursday, Oct. 22 and Friday, Oct. 23 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then Saturday, Oct. 24 at the 728th Air Mobility Passenger terminal also from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Holiday Greetings program gives families back in the states a chance to see their loved ones stationed overseas.

Once produced, HN sends each 15- to 20- second greeting to nearly every commercial TV and radio station within the broadcasting area of the person's chosen location; however, a separate greeting must be made for each location.

The program is open to military member, Department of Defense civilians and their families, pets included. Military members must wear the uniform of the day.

People who will PCS or be on leave in the United States during the holiday season are not eligible to participate.

Be prepared to fill out the HN form to bring along and shorten your wait.
