Basic Training |
Hello everyone
My name is Michael Davis. I worked in support of the military and Intel community for 38 years and retired two years ago and started writing fiction. I would appreciate some help on terminology I'm using in my fourth novel. My wife and I worked on a military base many years ago and I remember a facility available to the military families were they could go work on hobbies or crafts. I like to be accurate in my stories, but I forgot the name they used to refer to the on base facility. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, don't worry. All my novels are pro military.

The ones I have used have been called Arts & Crafts or Galleries, they were usually run through Community Services, who also did Bowling, CDC, etc... If you want a link to one, send me a message and I can give you the one I have.

Navywifeinparadise, what does MWR stand for?
The hobby/A&C center used to have a name other than "The A&C" center. Its possible my era is too long ago. I stayed on Navy and Army bases back in the late 70s/early 80s. Its possible names have changed. Nothing stays the same in life. Guess I'm showing my age. Thanks. Michael Davis Davisstories Tainted Hero (07), Forgotten Children (08) |

MWR - Morale, Welfare and Recreation
I'm pretty sure we call them Skills Development Centers in the AF now. I guess what era your book is set in will determine the name you need to use. |

I'd rather be knitting. |
There's only woodworking at the MWR in my area- but I've thought about starting a yarn crafting circle in my compound- I'm in mil housing at the moment.
