U.S. Marines and residents of Okinawa receive a lesson on traditional Japanese "nihonshu" and participate in a tuna cutting ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, March 11, 2023. The sake pairing class was taught by Col. Jason Berg, Assistant Chief of Staff, Marine Corps Installations Pacific, to teach Americans and Okinawans the history, science and production of traditional sake. The tuna cutting is a traditional ceremony that was hosted in order to continue improving the Japanese-American partnership and friendship. Berg is a native of Virginia, and Col. Henry Dolberry Jr., the commanding officer of MCAS Futenma, is a native of Pennsylvania. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Zachary Sarvey)

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
