Wait, tonight’s SIGMO meal didn’t make itself?? ;) Thanks to 1st Lt. Brent Eberle and all of the eight ballers from the 8th FTS who fed our base this evening. The potato salad was 100.

SIGMOs are monthly meals sponsored by the chaplain and prepared by a squadron to serve single Airmen, families of deployed Airmen and the greater Vance community.
