\u201cThe mobile barbers highlight the Exchange\u2019s legacy of providing mission-essential services to Warfighters, especially in a time of need,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange\u2019s senior enlisted advisor. \u201cCommand at both installations asked us if we could provide a way for the Soldiers to get military haircuts. Our teams leaned forward to ensure that we met their needs and provided the services.\u201d<\/p>\n

Managers worked with the Exchange\u2019s Waco Distribution Center in Texas to get the mobile barbershops delivered to Fort Lee and Fort Leonard Wood.<\/p>\n

Since the shops open last weekend, about 200 Soldiers at each installation received haircuts.<\/p>\n
