Every quarter, the 31st Maintenance Group hosts a Load Crew Competition to test Airmen's skills and knowledge of their craft. Check out a few pics from the 2nd quarter competition! 🛠 #wyvernnation #loadcrewcomp

What does it take to be a volunteer? A little bit of time, and a lot of heart ❤️

It's back to school for the kids, but these parents aren't taking any breaks!

August 26 - September 2, Wyvern Weekender | The new school year is here! What's going on in your community? #wyvernnation #WyvernWeekender

This week's Roll Up Your Sleeves takes us to the 31st Maintenance Squadron's Fuels Shop, where they'll be taking apart an F-16 Fighting Falcon wing! Tune in on Friday for the video showing you just how it's done...

The new school year is almost here, Wyverns! On that note, please keep some things in mind: -Be aware of and prepared for traffic congestion at Area 1 beginning Monday. -Be aware of children crossing streets and school bus stops. -ALWAYS listen to and follow the directions of our Defenders! They are there for YOU!! #wyvernnation #backtoschool

The Combat Ammunition Production Exercise, or CAPEX, is usually held by a base that falls under the Pacific Air Forces major command. For the past two years, however, CAPEX has been hosted by USAFE. Check out this story for a look at what's involved in this exercise:

Enjoy your well-earned time off this Family Day, Wyverns - And don't forget to thank those Defenders, first responders, and other Airmen who are still hard at work today! #wyvernnation #USAFEFamilyDay #MissionAirmenFamily

Earlier this month, the 31st Medical Group held In-Place Patient Decontamination Training, which helps to ensure the team is prepared and knowledgeable on the setup and use of the decontamination equipment. Check out a short video on the process here! #wyvernnation #IPPD #31MDG

You might have noticed the 31st Medical Group's varied hours at the beginning of the month due to their participation in Ready EAGLE. Check out this story to see what that means:

Survival. Evasion. Resistance. Escape. Long ago, these four concepts were only known separately. Then, everything changed when they came together to create a program we know as SERE. Only the SERE instructors, masters of all four concepts, could train our Airmen to survive under any conditions.

This week we highlight the SERE team from the 31st Operations Squadron. This team is responsible for keeping our Airmen ready in the event that they end up in a sticky situation. Whether they are teaching land navigation, water survival or a combative class, SERE is an Airman’s best friend in the worst of times. The team consists of Tech. Sgt. Mike Rutland and Staff Sgt. Dylan Sedillo who have both arrived at Aviano in the last two years. Rutland, originally from North Augusta in South Carolina, says he is inspired by his wife and kids and that his grandmother is his hero. Sedillo, a San Antonio native, is also inspired by his family but his hero, Chris Sharma, is a professional rock climber. A lesser known team yet extremely important, the SERE team is doing outstanding! Keep up the great work and continue ensuring our Airmen are prepared

For the 31st Communications Squadron cable and antenna systems flight, AKA the Cable Dawgs, routine climbing training is required so they can set up cables and antenna systems, keeping communication on base free flowing and uninterrupted. Would you make this climb?? 😵

August 19 - 25, Wyvern Weekender | Last chance for some Summer fun before school kicks off! What're your plans? #wyvernnation #WyvernWeekender

“It’s just a place to come and relax and get away from your troubles. It’s where you can just talk and be human,” said Staff Sgt. Matthew Ritchie, 31st Fighter Wing chaplain assistant. You don't have to go far to find a place to belong - The Refuge is here in Area F!

Check this out! Maintainers from the 31st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, 56th Helicopter Maintenance Unit, recently conducted a 600 hour phase inspection on their HH-60 Pave Hawks, a seven-step process that takes about 45 days to complete.

Stop by the Aviano Base Library to check out their new 31st Fighter Wing Reading List Collection!
