The McGhee Tyson Airman & Family Readiness Program is an officially sanctioned volunteer organization of the Tennessee National Guard that strives to provide information and education to families as well as a support network, especially during periods of separation. We depend on volunteers to make our program work. Traditionally, our support came from spouses of the guard member. However, children of families that volunteer together better understand why their mom or dad is gone and what their parents do while volunteering. Program involvement by the whole family, to include parents, is encouraged!
