Retiree Appreciation Days (RADs) are designed with you in mind. They're a great source of the latest information forretirees and Family members in your area.

RADs vary from installation to installation, but, in general, they providean opportunity to renew acquaintances, listen to guest speakers, renew ID Cards, get medical checkups, and variousother services.

Some RADs include special events such as dinners or golf tournaments. Due to budget constraints,some RADs may be cancelled or rescheduled. Also, scheduled appearances of DFAS representatives may not bepossible. If you plan to travel long distances to attend a RAD, before traveling, you should call the sponsoring RSOto ensure the RAD will held as scheduled and, if applicable, whether or not DFAS reps will be available. Note that this schedule has been expanded to include dates for retiree\veterans related events such astown hall meetings, resource fairs, stand downs, etc.
