More than 150 service members attended the Junior Enlisted Appreciation Picnic at the Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, Beach House. The Patrick AFB Top III and Military Affairs Committee hosted the event which was open to all military services E-6 and below.

During the JEAP, both joint-service enlisted personnel, were honored, thanked and recognized for their individual contributions. Many leaders from the 45th Space Wing and mission partners worked the grill and serving lines to thank them in person for what they 'bring to the fight.'

The enlisted personnel played games, won prizes and were cooked a picnic-style meal. Additionally, some junior enlisted leadership drenched senior leadership with water as part of a tradition after opening remarks.
