Lucci said this occasion offers employers context, which encourages them to hire and retain reservists who may occasionally be required to step away from their nine-to-fives for military service. The 920th Rescue Wing at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, hosted 60 community leaders for the advent of rides in its Air Force combat-search-and-rescue aircraft during a special day recognizing civilian employers of Reserve Citizen Airmen and five community leaders who were inducted as honorary commanders. Both occasions were combined during the December unit training assembly to bolster relations between community leaders, civilian employers and service members.
