OPERATION F.I.T.
Families in Touch

Operation F.I.T. (Families in Touch) is a service unique to the Florida Air National Guard (FANG). Since Guard families are so widely disbursed across the state, Operation F.I.T. represents a virtual community that brings people together despite their separation. Operation F.I.T. collects contact information for FANG families who choose to participate, and prints the information on an activation roster with the names of other families affected by the same deployment. Participating families receive the roster when their Guard member deploys. This roster provides them with contact information for others who are experiencing the same thing. Families use the roster to check in with each other, to share information, and/or to organize get-togethers in their loved-ones’ absence.

Operation F.I.T. also provides email updates to those who include their email address on the information form. Further, it provides a means for Family Readiness representatives and volunteers to check with families during deployments to see how things are going, and to offer assistance when needed. Finally, it is an opportunity for FANG families to let us know how we can better serve their needs. Participation in Operation F.I.T. is voluntary.

Most Guard members enroll their families in Operation F.I.T. during their yearly training. If you would like to make sure that you are a part of this important virtual community – or would like more information about it – simply call us at 904-741-7027 or 904-741-7212, or email us at: family.readiness@fljack.ang.af.mil.
