RAF Mildenhall has embraced this mission by creating a Gaming Room in the Bob Hope Community Center

Airmen. It is believed that this league will promote resiliency, retention, teamwork, and mental well-being for all service members involved. One Capt. Oliver Parsons is credited with creating Air Force Gaming, the concept was then popularized by a group of Airmen at the Dyess Air Force Base in Texas and has now made it all the way to our base in Mildenhall.

RAF Mildenhall has embraced this mission by creating a Gaming Room in the Bob Hope Community Center. The room has been custom-made for console gaming and decorated by our own Team Mildenhall members. It is home to a hand-drawn mural that includes some favorite gaming characters, this is a must-see stop on our base.

AIRMAN SPOTLIGHT

Wilber, Wilbreezy to some, gave us a piece of advice for his younger Airman self, and other young Airmen. “Be Yourself”. Concise and to the point. Not unlike Wilbreezy himself. When asked what one super power he would choose, Wilber decided on time travel. He explained that time travel would provide the opportunity to slow time down so that he could accomplish more in a day.

Speaking of Wilber’s accomplishments, this year he assisted in drawing a mural for the Gaming Room in Bob Hope Community Center. This is a focal point in RAF Mildenhall’s involvement in the new Air Force Gaming League. As well as an excellent opportunity to see how the passions of our Airmen can be integrated into bettering our lives in the Air Force Community. Stop by BHCC to enjoy some of Wilber’s art.
