FYSA, 412th Test Wing is launching a "Pump the Breaks" speed campaign. That means, if you are 1 mile over the posted speed limit, you are wrong! Additionally, if you receive two tickets, your driving privileges "will" be suspended per Brig Gen Higer. You will see increased presence from our Defenders across the installation. Should you receive a speeding/traffic citation (Military), you are required to notify myself or MSgt Samantha Dickerson (Interim Shirt).
Happy to take any questions you may have.
Very Respectfully,
