The Heart Link Program is an orientation offered on a quarterly basis to acquaint new Air Force Spouses with the Air Force way of life. This program strengthens military families and enhances mission readiness. Appreciating that spouses play an important role in re-enlistment decisions, therefore impacting retention, a major program goal is to help spouses, especially those with the Air Force five years or less, acclimate to the Air Force/military environment.  All spouses--  new to the Air Force family or new to Davis-Monthan-- are welcome to attend.

The M&FRC offers monthly events for spouses and families of deployed Airman. All spouses/family members of active duty Air Force personnel deployed or TDY for longer than 30 days or on a remote tour assignment are invited to join the Military & Family Readiness Center for a night of fun for all ages.
