AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (KOAA) — The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) says they will be pausing their Gate Support Program starting Thursday until further notice.
The academy says this is due to the government shutdown, and the Gate Support Program will resume once it reopens.
USAFA says employees and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead. They also say to allow extra time to get on base, especially during peak hours at the North and South gates and for football games and reunions.
According to USAFA, Security Forces personnel are working to maintain the safety and security of the academy while manning these constraints.
