Want to have a better way of knowing what’s going on around base than having a bunch of individual emails filling up your inbox?

The 14th Flying Training Wing is set to unveil a new information sharing tool, the BLAZE Bulletin.

The BLAZE Bulletin is a tool Team BLAZE will use to disseminate relevant information with wing-level impact to all base personnel. It will include the week’s pertinent happenings in one location, including the 14th Force Support Squadron events and lunch specials. A link to the week’s 14th FSS information is located in the bottom left corner.

Other examples of what will be on the BLAZE Bulletin include, but are not limited to, closures, volunteer events, graduation announcements, construction and more, which will be in line with the 14th FTW communications policy. Each bullet, along with the event title, will include location, date and time, and may also include additional information through a link to a flyer with more details.

The BLAZE Bulletin will appear every time someone logs into their computer and will be gone after they exit out of it. Users are asked to please close out of, instead of minimize, the BLAZE Bulletin after reading it. To read the message again, wing members can log off and back on or click the button found on the top right of the base’s official website, columbus.af.mil.

The background color of the week’s BLAZE Bulletin will vary if a change has been made. The first BLAZE Bulletin of the week will be blue, and if any changes are made the slide will become brown, green, orange or yellow, respectively.

To add information to the BLAZE Bulletin, email 14ftw.pa@us.af.mil. All information is required to be edited by the 14th FTW Public Affairs office, which may include changes to style, content and brevity.
