Million dollar question

"We could use a dedicated pad for motorcycle training," said Staff Sgt. Robert Viall, Green Knights Chapter 75 safety director. "Currently the lot we use is full throughout the week, making it impossible for riders to use the course. The pad could also be used for other morale boosting events like garage sales, family movie nights, stunt shows, motorcycle gatherings and craft fairs for the arts and crafts center. This way we will be getting more bang for our buck." (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Micaiah Anthony)(RELEASED)

Million dollar question

"I would like the funds from the Commander in Chief Installation Excellence competition to go toward a rifle and handgun shooting range on-base," said Senior Airman Steven Ainsworth, 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron. "With ranges capable of supporting weapon platforms other than shotguns, Airmen will be able to increase their proficiency and hone their skills."

Million dollar question

"The Wood Craft Center is in need of a larger workspace, new equipment, more storage and better ventilation," said Airman 1st Class Dominique Atkins, 2nd Logistics Readiness Squadron. "Barksdale produces several award winners, so the center generally produces most of the plaques and shadow boxes, and even the flag boxes given to retirees. Many may not actually go to the Wood Craft Shop and enjoy the ability to create and design things out of wood, but several military, retiree and dependant members at some point in time will need the staff of the Wood Craft Center to create a last minute project. The amount of work that comes through the wood center is a great work load for the three members but with better spacing, storage, and equipment we can continue to make fine works of art that we can all enjoy."

Million dollar question

"The gym is in need of more space for equipment and possibly a wider indoor track. I feel the money from the competition would really help solve this issue," said Senior Airman Renata Bolden, 2nd Force Support Squadron. "With a larger facility we will be able to support more Airmen at one time and keep them fit to fight." (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Micaiah Anthony)(RELEASED)

Million dollar question

"Installing lights on the golf club's driving range and putting green would be a nice addition," said Nathanial Waters, 2nd Force Support Squadron Compass Contract Group site manager. "It would be nice to be able to use the range later in the evening during the summer months. The funds could also allow active-duty Airmen and NCOs to play intramural golf for free like the other intramural sports. The golf cart and green fees add up really quick."

Million Dollar Question

"We need a new location for the Health and Wellness Center," said Patty McGruder, health promotion educator. "Our facilities are too small. We need a kitchen, a classroom or a room large enough to conduct standard operating activities and a room for our Bod-Pod. The Bod-Pod is in a storage closet making it very inconvenient for our patrons to change their clothing. It would really help if we could use the funds to make space at the fitness center for us."
