TODAY/THIS WEEKEEND
FORT STEWART AND HUNTER TRAFFIC ALERT, Friday, Monday:
Expect traffic delays at installation access points due
to the holiday weekend at both installations.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND SAFETY MESSAGE:
Labor Day safety is the most important and most
overlooked part of any end of summer bash. While no one Labor Day activity is
particularly unsafe, the combination of crowds, alcohol, increased travel and
being around water can add an element of danger to your holiday plans. By
thinking about safety and taking the necessary precautions, your Labor Day can
be as safe as it is fun. The Safety Flyer can be found at
