📰 News we're reading

• Dive into readiness at Eielson AFB (af.mil) — Eielson AFB residents now have dedicated lap swim hours at the Baker Field House pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5–7 a.m. and 5–7 p.m., for ages 18 and up. Two new lifeguards are on duty, and Outdoor Recreation is exploring more pool times and hiring additional lifeguards, giving Airmen and families another low-impact way to stay mission-ready and fit.
