EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – In the back corner of your 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) compound exists a little-known resource and Carla Tyson, Community Readiness Specialist and Certified Financial Counselor can tell you how to tap in.
As a financial counselor, Tyson’s goal is to bring Army Emergency Relief, which encompasses all financial assisting services, to the Soldiers at 7th.
As a Gold Star spouse having been married to one of Group’s very own Green Berets, Tyson describes what she has as “firsthand experience with much to share.”
Now working as a Department of Defense civilian, Tyson provides guidance to service members and their families.
Tyson’s advice, “Build healthy habits in all aspects of life, including emotional, occupational and financial.”
“I aim to provide tools and resources for the entire family,” said Tyson. “Finances and career are my strong suits. I want to fight the lack knowledge with an increased awareness as to what we provide.”
She suggests visiting the Soldier Readiness Center on your post. Their mission is to help service members, families of service members and DoD civilians enhance their readiness and quality of life through financial programs, employment programs, relocation services, resume services and transition assistance programs.
“We want to help you to be ready when life happens, in any aspect,” said Tyson. “If I cannot help you, I can lead you to someone who can.”
As long as you have access to base, you have access to their services. You don’t have to have a need. Maybe someone you know needs what the SRC can provide.
Carla Tyson is located on Camp “Bull” Simons in the Soldier Support Center, Bldg. 4385, Room 110, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Wednesdays only. Every other day, visit her on Eglin Air Force Base, in Bldg. 205, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday thru Friday. For more information, call (850) 885-1234 or (850) 882-9060.
“When you’re ready, come to see us!”
