If selected, an HCC should be included in unit functions as much as possible, providing a hands-on experience in the program. They should be invited to be a part of their assigned unit and attend not only business functions such as unit ceremonies and meetings, but family functions as well, i.e., Christmas parties, unit picnics, and other such unit events. The HCC will be invited (by the Public Affairs Office) to base-wide events such as awards ceremonies and changes of command. Which events the HCC attends is optional. HCCs should make every effort to be involved and attend at least one event per quarter but are encouraged to attend as many events as possible to gain knowledge and build a strong partnership with their military commander, unit personnel and Team Luke.
Lack of commitment undermines the program’s intent and HCCs should drop from the program if they are unable to actively engage with their commander. We understand mission comes first, so dropping from the program does not create a poor reflection of you or your business. All questions, concerns or issues about the overall program should be directed to the 301st Fighter Wing Public Affairs Office. Commitment and feedback is essential to the success of this program.
