The 142d Wing April RSD is now a Flex Drill. Based on the COVID-19 situation, most Wing members will not drill. If you have mission essential training, and are required to come to drill, you will be contacted by your supervisor. If you don’t drill, talk to your supervisor about the plan to make up the April drill periods later this fiscal year. Due to the similarities of symptoms with the allergy season, we have adjusted measures upon entry to the 142d Wing. Please expect to be asked the following questions when presenting your ID card to security forces personnel: In the last 14 days: 1. Have you had a fever over 100°? 2. Have you been in close contact with someone who was diagnosed with or suspected to have a COVID-19 infection? 3. Did you travel overseas to China, Europe, Iran or South Korea? If yes to any of the above, please do not come to the base and notify your chain of command immediately.
