Q. The commissaries at JBSA-Randolph and JBSA-Fort Sam Houston need more electric wheelchairs. Most are in need of repair.
Often when I go to shop, the only available electric wheelchairs always need charging. For the last few months, I have had nothing but problems finding a chair that is charged.
I am a retired U.S. Air Force veteran and I have a hard time walking. They need more wheelchairs and to keep them charged.
A. Thank you so much for your service. Sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulty with electrical wheelchairs.
Both stores will be in contact with the Defense Commissary Agency's equipment branch to seek assistance in obtaining new carts.
JBSA-Randolph and JBSA-Fort Sam Houston currently have six to eight handicap carts operational; however, due to usage throughout the day, some of them may not be allowed enough time in between usage to regain a full charge.
Both stores do have at least two that are not operational and have a work order on them for repair. Aretha Queen is the store director at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston and can be reached at Aretha.queen@deca.mil.
Q. Can you watch the Air Force basic military training from afar in a field or from a hotel window? Thank you.
A. Unfortunately, due to the location of BMT graduations, you are unable to view them in person.
Please tune in to watch your loved one graduate online at https://www.facebook.com/USAFBMT.
