Video Messaging Available at Neighborhood Centers

Do you have a loved one deployed? Are you communicating via written email? If so, Picerne Military Housing offers a special way for you to contact your loved one.

In 2004, Picerne installed two Communication Kiosks in the Ardennes and Nijmegen Neighborhood Centers for on-post residents.

The kiosks aim to build family cohesiveness by providing an alternate source of communication during a time of deployment.

They can send text emails, photos taken at the kiosk and streaming video lasting up to one minute. They are specially designed for Picerne and are very easy to use. Residents may use the machines as frequently as they like, but there is a 10-minute limit per session in order to allow others to use the machine. Children under the age of 18 must be supervised while using the kiosk.

The Nijmegen Neighborhood Office which features a Communication Kiosk and computer lab is located at 2 Douve Place. Its phone number is (910) 436-4743.

The Ardennes/Bataan/Bastogne Gables Neighborhood Center which features a Communication Kiosk and computer lab is located at 101 Varsity Drive. Its phone number is (910) 436-6054.

CYS membership is not required.

TELEPHONE EMERGENCY AND 911

Many Fort Bragg residents have recently experienced problems when calling 911 from internet, cable or cellular phones. You may need to register your home’s local address with your phone provider to prevent your 911 calls from being misrouted to an emergency call center far away from Fort Bragg . Registering your address will ensure your calls are made to a local call center and will decrease the response time for ambulance and police services.

DONATE TO THE AIRBORNE ATTIC

Fort Bragg ’s ACS Airborne Attic is looking for your household items that you no longer want. Items must be in good usable condition. Large items can be picked up on the first Thursday of the month. Call 907-2842 for more details.

The Airborne Attic is open for E-4’s and below to include their immediate family members only. These items are free of charge and do not need to be returned. E-5 and above will be allowed to use the Attic on an emergency basis only with approval from the Relocation Assistance Manager. Donations of clean, good condition household items, such as, clothing; baby and children’s items; and usable furniture, appliances and electronics are needed on an ongoing basis.

Saving Soldiers One Drop At A Time……DONATE BLOOD

Each and every month Fort Bragg requires 667 potential donors to meet the blood needs of the soldiers and their families as well as retirees and other authorized recipients. Fort Bragg is the supplier of it’s own blood supply, but with the numerous reasons for deferrals and current operational commitments, that blood supply is shrinking while requirements are increasing. The Blood Donor Center is located in building, 8-2809, Scott Street , call us at 396-9925.

H.E.A.L.T.H. is an interactive web site designed to meet the specific needs of Soldiers. It features personalized fitness and meal plans and tips to help you achieve a healthy lifestyle. It is free to all Fort Bragg Soldiers and their families.
