Aviation Spouse Day is open to ALL spouses of ALL ranks of Soldiers on orders to
Fort Rucker. Spouses will “live a day in the life” of a Soldier completing 4 events:
Helicopter Overwater Survival Training (HOST), Team building at the Leader’s
Reaction Course (LRC), shooting at the EST2000 virtual range, and finally flying in
the Simulators at Warrior Hall. The whole day is wrapped up with a
Graduation/Pinning ceremony at the Fort Rucker Aviation Museum.
*Note: Childcare is not available for this event, participants will be responsible for making these
arrangements if necessary.
Fort Rucker is asking you to SLOW DOWN and
observe the speed limits on post. Violators will be
ticketed, multiple offenders could lose their post
