During coverage of catastrophic Hurricane Dorian, there was a lot of chatter about “Hurricane Hunters”. Just who are the Hurricane Hunters and what role do they play in hurricane management?
According to the Air Force website, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron is a component of the 403rd Wing located at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The Hurricane Hunters “provide surveillance of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the central Pacific Ocean for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. The unit also flies winter storm missions off both coasts of the United States.”
Located in south-eastern providence of Limburg, Netherlands next to Belgium and Luxemburg, lies USAG Benelux-Schinnen, Netherlands.

Stars and Stripes recently shared information regarding a new program from the Pentagon called Military Spouse Transition Program, or MySTeP. The program will be rolled out this month and will offer short videos to help military spouses through all stages of their service member’s military career.
MySTeP focuses on all stages of military life and divides spouses into categories: New spouses, mid-career spouses, and those preparing to transition. These three categories are labeled as, “Stepping In,” “Stepping Through,” and “Stepping Beyond.”
The new program aims to empower spouses from the first day they step into military life until the day their spouse transitions or separates. The MySTeP program focuses on a wide variety of topics to help spouses get their bearings and navigate military life.
