Million dollar question

"If I had the choice, I would invest in an indoor pool," said Senior Airman Cory Sandoval, 26th Operational Weather Squadron. "An indoor pool would give Airmen another alternative when it comes to working out. The pool could also be used for water aerobics and physical therapy, helping Airmen who are injured or on waivers stay in shape." (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Micaiah Anthony)(RELEASED)

Million dollar question

"Our Airmen need alternatives when it comes to extracurricular activities," said Staff Sgt. Randy Reynolds, 2nd Munitions Squadron. "With the money from the competition, I would upgrade the movie theater with a new projection system, a better screen and comfortable seats. This would encourage Airmen to use the facility and give them another positive alternative when relaxing off-duty." (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Micaiah Anthony)(RELEASED)

Million dollar question

"Barksdale's library is wonderful," said Betty Duvall. "There are several programs and tools people can use here. I feel that the funds from the competition should go toward bringing in more books and computers for people to use. More room wouldn't hurt either. You can never have too many books."

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."

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."
