PLAYpass program arrives at Kirtland AFB Published June 3, 2011 By Laticia Little 377th Force Support Squadron marketing director Kirtland Air Force Base -- The new PLAYpass program card will be available at the Airmen and Family Readiness Center starting today, June 3. The program will provide deployment-affected single Airmen and Air Force families respite from the challenges of deployment. In continuing efforts to build a resilient force, single Airmen returning from deployment and families of deployed members can receive special discounts and rewards to help make their deployment easier. The new PLAYpass card replaces the DePLAYment program offered during the Year of the Air Force Family and has been expanded to provide deployment respite support for not only deployment-affected families but also support for returning single Airmen. PLAYpass offers discount cards that provide members and their eligible family members the opportunity to participate in Air Force Force Support Squadron programs for free or at a reduced cost. The program will kick off June 1 and run through December 2011. Kirtland will distribute PLAYpass cards pre-printed with specific dollar value coupon blocks that can be applied to the specified programs offered at each participating location. Each card is valued in excess of $500. For more information or to pick up your PLAYpass, call the A&RFC at 846-0741 or visit www.kirtlandforcesupport.com.
