Applicants can ask questions about becoming an FCC provider as well as what to expect. It is highly recommended to bring your spouse along so they can be part of the process and ask questions. The goal is to start the FCC training week a few weeks after the FCC Informational briefing.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING AT THE MARKETING & PUBLICITY OFFICE?

My favorite part about working at the Marketing office is definitely creativity. Our office is the most fun and creative office on base. I'm thankful and very excited that I have a design job everyday.

WHAT DO YOU WISH THE MISAWA COMMUNITY KNEW ABOUT YOUR PROGRAMS?

I wish the Misawa Community knew that we handle all the marketing for the entire 35th Force Support Squadron (FSS). We support our nearly 40 FSS Facilities by promoting their programs on AFN Radio, social media, video, digital signage, print materials such as flyers, posters, banners and our monthly publication, Leisure Times. We also offer services for non-FSS customers as well. Scan this QR code for more details.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST MEMORY AT THE MARKETING & PUBLICITY OFFICE?

Things were slowed down and it was difficult to bring these musical acts into Japan. Thankfully, things seem to be shifting back into a more normal situation.
