HEART LINK SPOUSE ORIENTATION at the Hangar Center

Heart Link is designed for newly married spouses and/or Dyess AFB newcomer spouses. Information is given about the local Abilene area, Dyess AFB resources, Tricare, deployments, and more. This program is offered quarterly.

JUMP START at the Hangar Center

This newcomer’s orientation is to welcome you & your family to Dyess AFB by introducing you to many of the resources that can be found here on base. We strongly encourage dependents of military members to come! This is held every first Wednesday of the month at the Hangar Center from 8 am-1 pm. It also includes a tour of downtown Abilene.

NEED A JOB?

The Airman & Family Readiness Center offers classes to help build a resume, navigate USA Jobs, and provides welcome classes in collaboration with the West Texas Workforce Solutions so that you have all the information you need to look for employment or volunteer opportunities in Abilene. We also host job fairs, which take place in the Community Center. For more employment information, select from the “Jobs” menu.
