Just down the street from the 932nd Airlift Wing is the golf course. Discounts are offered at certain times, for instance $8 Green Fees are every Monday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the month of February as patrons can enjoy playing golf on the Cardinal Creek Golf Course by paying only $8 green fees.

Maj. Chris Higgins, 12th Operational Weather Flight, talks with 932nd Safety Officer Maj. Greg Newelland and Safety NCOIC, Master Sgt. Michael Burgess, during a summer training event with the Madison County Community Emergency Response Team or CERT.

Maj. Chris Higgins, 12th Operational Weather Flight, 932nd Airlift Wing, looks at information from the Storm Prediction Center with his main focus being convective activity and severe thunderstorms. The Air Force has always been the backup agency for the Storm Prediction Center (SPC). It was on May 1, 2009 that the mission came to the 15th Operational Weather Squadron. The SPC handed off support to Airmen like Maj. Higgins on 26 March and even though SPC has a lot of other weather speciality products they produce, the ones that 12 OWF are in charge of are the convective outlooks days and weather watches. SPC is located in Norman, Oklahoma, so if they ever have to shelter for a tornado the Storm Prediction Center backup team is called in to take over. Maj. Higgins spent time on the phones with weather managers in various states during the event. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Stan Paregien)

A subtle bit of humor can be found on a cold winter morning in Illinois. There is no smoking at the 932nd Medical Group building and who would want to stand outside in sub-freezing temperatures? The 932nd Airlift Wing experienced the coldest temperatures of the new year so far with overnights far below 0 degrees and close to 14 inches of snow around the local area. Reservists are reminded to check the roads before traveling and remember safety first. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Stan Paregien)

Old man winter strikes again at the base. It's hard to believe but snowy days are still around at the beginning of Spring for the 932nd Airlift Wing.

Building managers at the unit got out and about to clear walkways with civil engineering assistance. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Stan Paregien)
