MILITARY MISSIONS, INC.

We have a request from American Forces Network (AFN) radio station at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey.  The radio station provides a little taste of stateside entertainment for troops stationed there and for those that are heading to and from deployment stations.  The station takes great pride in providing quality radio entertainment in English, something not typically available in that part of the world.

Part of the commitment to providing quality entertainment with a taste of home includes playing games over the air and giving the listeners the chance to call in and win prizes.  The network is not allowed to purchase prizes to give away, so they have asked Military Missions to donate prizes to give away to our troops stationed at Incirlik Air Base. 

According to SSGT Matthew Lichtenberg, an Air Force radio and television broadcaster at Incirlik Air Base, some things that the troops would enjoy are items such as small portable radios that pick up AM and FM signals.  The American Forces Network can only broadcast over an AM signal so most of our troops can’t pick up a signal in a car or at work.  Those working on the flightline would greatly appreciate a small portable battery-powered radio that they can set up while working on the planes. 

DVD’s and video games are also popular.  There are very few TV channels for our troops to watch.  Most end up watching DVD’s and playing video games in their free time.  CD’s are another popular item, and T-shirts are always fun to give away for prizes too.

Let’s help the American Forces Network make the air base seem more like home for the men and women that are serving over in Turkey.
