Family Emergencies And Contacts

Before departure, provide your family with the government cell phone number for your flight chief (TSgt Wells) and keep it with the securely stored copy of your orders. Your flight chief can help the family understand whom to call, but a genuine emergency requiring official notification should still be processed through the Red Cross.

General rule: The most recent BMT information email, orders, amended orders, and instructions provided during out-processing or training control what applies. This FAQ explains the local process in more detail but does not replace newer written guidance.
