Year No. 5 Edition No. 14
Eglin doctor named physician of the year
By Kevin Gaddie
Team Eglin Public Affairs
Just minutes before convening a weekly
faculty meeting at Eglin’s hospital in late February, Lt. Col. Patricia Goodemote got a phone
call she couldn’t put off.
“The residency administrator came in and
said ‘I have a call for you,’” she recalled, asking her to take a message. “She said ‘no, you
have to take this one.’ ”
It was from the military chapter of the
Uniformed Services Academy of Family Physicians, telling Colonel Goodemote, the hospital’s assistant program director of family
medicine residency, she had been named 2011
Physician of the Year.
While she was on the phone, the administrator informed everyone at the meeting of
the good news.
“I wasn’t going to say anything,” said Colonel Goodemote, “but when I came back in the
room, everyone was clapping and congratulating me. I was very surprised and flattered.”
Colonel Goodemote, one of more than 2,300
military family physicians within DoD, has
been in her current job for the last four and
a half years. She works with a staff of 30
first-year residents (doctors who practice
medicine under the supervision of fully licensed physicians), 12 faculty members and
a behavioralist.
The Dell Rapids, S. D. native decided to
join the Air Force after a trip to East Berlin as
a ninth grader.
“I saw how much freedom the East Berliners lacked at the time, and really appreciated
the freedoms we have in America,” Colonel
Goodemote said. “I knew this was in part due
to the military, so I decided to join the Air
Force ROTC once I started college.”
Her calm voice, pleasant personality and
well-articulated medical knowledge combine
for a bedside manner suited to putting patients and co-workers alike immediately at
ease around her.
“I train physicians to become family medicine physicians,” Colonel Goodemote said.
“They’re already doctors when they graduate
from medical school, but to be a family medicine physician they need another three years
of training. My main day-to-day job entails
preparing the residents so they will actually
see patients in the clinic.”
Areas the residents are trained in include:
outpatient medicine - caring for patients with
diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive
heart failure, allergies, ear infections, pregnancy and well child care.
They also learn casting of fractures, vasectomies, exercise stress tests (to evaluate

Physicians.
for heart disease); and inpatient medicine
- delivering babies, pneumonia, chest pain and
kidney infections.
Colonel Goodemote and her staff guide the
residents through their patients’ problems
and concerns until they become proficient
enough to make proper diagnoses and correct
decisions on their own.
“The residents work incredibly hard and
do a lot of self-teaching,” she said. “However,
the faculty does a great job at helping the residents to identify their blind spots.”
Those areas are gaps in their knowledge
base, communication skills to improve patient
relations, and insight into a broader perspective of how a patient’s disease is affecting that
particular patient because of their social support system, according to the doctor.
Faculty assistance in overcoming recurring
issues includes discussions with the residents
on the best approach to a problem; videotap-
ing of patient session, with consent; and additional training, Colonel Goodemote said.
Colonel Goodemote knew Col. James
Haynes, the program director, put her in for
the award, but she didn’t think she had a
chance.
“I know there are a lot of family medicine
doctors who work very hard and are good at
what they do,” the 18-year veteran said humbly. “I know some of the people who’ve won
the award previously, and I don’t feel I’m in
that class.”
She credited her staff for her receipt of the
award, and described them as ‘stellar.’
“I was the acting program director for the
last six months while Colonel Haynes was deployed and I think the only way I was able to
do that job is the other faculty members I work
with are always looking to help in any way they
can,” she said. “They’re constantly watching
out for me and watching each other’s backs.”

Since 2005, the Jack Daniel Distillery has been collecting personal messages

team in unloading and setting up the contents for the
volunteers.
Almost 150 volunteers will
be on hand to stuff packages.
Another 50 will set up and
tear down the venue. Master
Sgt. Mary Davis, head of the
Hearts Apart program at the
Airman and Family Readiness Center, said the first 50
volunteers are spouses from
the program. The rest of the
volunteers were recruited
through the First Sergeants
and Chiefs Councils.
“We got a really good response when we asked for
volunteers” Sergeant Davis
said. “The spouses want to
help out and give back. I sent
out an e-mail to the spouses
in the Hearts Apart program
and we got 50 volunteers.
The spouses feel so much is
done for them, they want to
do something for someone
else,” she said.
After all the packages
are stuffed, volunteers will
be treated to a “thank you”
barbeque sponsored by Jack
Daniel’s and catered by the
Eglin Club. At 7 p.m., a basewide concert will kick off in

Deployed military personnel from all services
will be the latest recipients
of USO care packages assembled at a “stuffing party”
April 15 in Hangar 102.
The base was selected
as the site of the next Jack
Daniel’s/USO “Toast to the
Troops” event as military
spouses, USO volunteers
and others will assemble
thousands of Operation USO
Care Packages for troops
serving overseas.
“This is going to be a fun
event,” said Col. Marc Piccolo, 96th Mission Support
Group commander. “Most
of the volunteers stuffing
packages have loved ones
deployed or who have recently returned from a deployment, which makes it
that much more meaningful for them. We’re grateful
to have this opportunity to
remember our deployed
and recognize the contributions of the spouses that
keep things going back at
home. I’m looking forward
to a night of great family
entertainment.”
Eglin currently has more
than 500 personnel supporting operations around the
world.
Inserts for the care packages include items requested
by service members, such as
prepaid international calling
cards, toiletries, sunscreen,
playing cards, disposable
cameras and snacks. The
packages are being assembled for troops deploying to
Afghanistan, Iraq and other
overseas locations, as well as
troops arriving and departing on rest and recuperation
(R&R) flights.
Supplies will arrive with
the Operation USO care
package team. Master Sgt.
Thomas Thielman, 96th Logistics Readiness Squadron,
said the squadron is providing 30 wooden skids, two
pallet jacks, a forklift and
forklift operator to assist the
for Jack Daniel’s. “We also
recognize and sincerely appreciate the sacrifices made
by the spouses and families
of our military heroes. The
Toast program is just one
way for us to show our love
and support to those who
truly deserve it.”
“We thank Jack Daniel’s
for their continued support,”
said Elaine Rogers, president and CEO of the USO
of Metropolitan Washington, which administers the
Operation USO Care Package program. “Since 2005,
these events have been an
excellent opportunity for local communities to demonstrate their support for our

Craig Morgan will headline a free concert here
on April 15 in support of

The concert is part of
the Jack Daniel’s/USO
“Toast to the Troops”
event. Since 2005, the Jack
Daniel Distillery has been
collecting personal messages of support in the
form of “toasts” to include

has hosted 13 other “stuffing parties” at military
installations across the
country. More than 150,000
care packages have been
sent to our troops through
the “Toast to the Troops”
program.
Mr. Morgan, a ten-year
Army veteran, has been
a part of all 13 previous
events dating back to
2005. He is a recipient of
the USO Merit Award and
has made nine overseas
trips to entertain our U.S.
troops.
“I’ve been honored to
be part of the Toast to the
Troops program since it
began six years ago and
it’s always inspiring for me
to perform for our troops
and their families,” said
Morgan. “Having been
there, I know how much
it means to receive a care
package out in the field
and to know that you are
supported. Our troops,
their spouses and families
sacrifice so much, and I’m
glad to get the chance to
let them know how much
we value their efforts.”
One of country music’s
best-loved artists, Morgan
has made a name for himself with massive radio airplay of his signature hits:
“Bonfire,” “Almost Home,”
“Redneck Yacht Club,”
“That’s What I Love About
Sunday” (Billboard’s mostplayed country songs of the
year in 2005) and “International Harvester.” Craig
received one of country
music’s highest honors
when was inducted as a
member of the Grand Ole

star, Craig Morgan spent
more than 10 years of active duty in the Army and
additional years in the

of “Craig Morgan: All Access Outdoors,” the Outdoor Channel’s #1 rated
Saturday morning hunting
show.

Friday, April 8, 2011 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Page Toth takes command
of 33rd Fighter Wing
Col. David A. Hlatky has
been relieved of command of
the 33rd Fighter Wing.
Maj. Gen. Mark Solo,
commander of the 19th Air
Force, relieved Hlatky of his
duties Thursday March 31,
according to a news release
from Randolph Air Force
Base, Texas.
“Major General Solo lost
confidence in Colonel Hlatky’s ability to command as
a result of a command-directed investigation following allegations of personal
misconduct,” the news release said.
Because of the administrative nature of a commanddirected investigation, the
Air Force is prohibited from
releasing more details.
David Smith, chief of public affairs at the Air Education and Training Command
at Randolph, said he did not
know why Solo lost faith in
Hlatky.
“I don’t have much that I
can say because it’s an ad-
ministrative action. I can tell
you that it is not at all related
to the F-35 program,” Smith
said.
Hlatky was the first commander of the 33rd as it transitioned to the home of the
F-35 training school. He took
command during the same
ceremony that changed the
former operational F-15 Air
Combat Command unit to
a training unit under the
Air Education and Training
Command’s 19th Air Force.
Col. Andrew J. Toth took
over command of 33rd on
Thursday. He previously
served as the executive officer to the commander of Air
Combat Command at Langley Air Force Base, Va.
“He is an F-15 pilot and
an Air Force Academy graduate,” Smith said.
Marine Col. Arthur Tomassetti, vice commander
of the joint training school
at Eglin, could not assume
command because the position must be filled by an Air
Force officer.
Hlatky will remain at Eglin for the time being pending reassignment.

Commissioners OK funding
for veterans court coordinator
By Kari C. Barlow
CRESTVIEW —Okaloosa
County commissioners on
Tuesday approved a parttime position for a coordinator of a proposed veterans
court.
County Commissioners voted unanimously to
fund the 20-hour a week job,
which will pay a part-time
salary of $17,992.
The veterans court, proposed by Okaloosa County
Judge T. Patterson Maney,
is a hybrid drug and mental health court designed to
serve veterans struggling
with addictions, mental illness and various disorders.
“We are very excited
that Judge Maney has taken on this,” Robin Wright,
trial court administrator for
the First Judicial Circuit,
told the board.
The position is funded
from the county’s court innovation trust fund.
“We’re thinking it’s going
to be a short-term position,
anywhere from 18 months to
two years,” Wright said.
The veterans court will
be modeled after the state’s
drug courts and will be located at the courthouse annex in Shalimar.
A coordinator is needed
to get the court up and running. Eventually, the position
will be dissolved and those
duties will be transferred to
the county’s current drug
court manager.
Wright said she would
like to see the veterans court
begin hearing cases before
the end of the year.
Commissioners balked at
Wright’s request for an addi-
tional $2,500 to $5,000 to buy
office equipment and other
supplies for the position.
She told the board the
money would be used to
purchase a new computer,
fax machine and various
office supplies for the new
coordinator.
Commissioner Don
Amunds questioned the necessity of the expense.
“There’s nothing wrong
with using a used computer,”
he said. “We do it all the time
at the county. … I just think
we’re going down a bad road
here.”
Amunds said the board
needs to be “good stewards”
of the court innovation fund.
Commissioners asked
Wright to present them
with a list of specific equipment and costs at their April
19 meeting in Fort Walton
Beach.

VA Center to open in Shalimar
By MONA MOORE
SHALIMAR — Combat
veterans soon will have
daily access to counseling
services when Okaloosa
County’s first-ever Veterans Affairs Center opens.
The center will be at 6
11th Avenue behind Burger King in Shalimar. It is
expected to open in a few
months.
In the meantime, Clifford Harris, team leader
at the VA Vet Center, and
counselors from the center
are mobile. They work out
of a Veteran Affairs bus at
their future home or at local events.
The team also borrows
space from JobsPlus. They
spend Wednesdays at the
JobsPlus Crestview location and Thursdays at the
Fort Walton Beach branch.
Hours of operation are
from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
“We want to try to
get into the community

and make our presence
known,” Harris said. “We
welcome walk-ins. That’s
where a lot of our business
comes from.”
Harris’ team consists of
two counselors, one family therapist and an office
manager.
Veterans centers provide different ser vices
than local VA clinics. The
centers specialize in counseling and treatments of
mental illnesses like posttraumatic stress disorder
and drug abuse to veterans
who have been in combat.
The center also provides bereavement counseling and sexual trauma
counseling, Harris said.

after they returned home.
“We provide readjustment counseling to veterans who have been in a war
zone, doesn’t matter which
war zone they participated
in,” Harris said.
The services also are
available to combat veterans’ families.
All services are free.
There is no co-pay and no
income-based criteria to
meet.
“A veteran can come in
and we can see him every
day of the week and he or
she will never receive a
bill,” Harris said.
The clinic is another
door for veterans to find
help in any area. Counselors answer questions and
refer veterans to other
resources.
Harris’ biggest goal is
to let veterans know the
services are finally available in Okaloosa County.
Before the Shalimar location, veterans had to travel
to Pensacola or neighboring counties in Alabama
for counseling.
As the demand for services increases, the hours
will expand.
“We’re still trying to develop a caseload and certainly we don’t see enough
(veterans) yet. We’ve been
handicapped by the building issue,” Harris said.
“We’re just anxious to …
get it open.”
Friday, April 8, 2011 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Page Freedom Classic honors ‘fighting men and women’
By TRACY CONNER
Contributing Writer
DESTIN – It was just
after lunch, a breeze was
blowing and the sun was
shining, and Harris Carr
was getting ready to tee
off.
He’s a gunnery sergeant who is helping his
fellow Marines stand up
the F-35 program at Eglin
Air Force Base, and this
outing – 18 holes of golf
on a weekday afternoon
– was a thank you for his
service.
“You’ve got airmen out
here, you’ve got soldiers,
you’ve got sailors, you’ve
got Marines,” Col. Sal
Nodjomian said of the
players taking part in the
Freedom Classic Golf
Tournament held April 4
at the Indian Bayou Golf
Course.
“To buy an entire golf
course for a day and invite
160-plus military men
and women to play and to
buy them lunch too, we
just cannot express our
gratitude enough,” said
Nodjomian, commander
of Eglin’s 96th Air Base
Wing.
Most of the golfers
were from the enlisted
ranks, some were playing
for the first time and all
of them were “enjoying
the camaraderie and the
chance to mingle with
some of our community
leaders,” the colonel said,
adding that he himself
was not getting out on the
greens that day.
“We wanted to let some
of the more junior airmen
get out here and experience something special,”
Nodjomian explained.
The Freedom Classic
is an annual event
that’s been held for five
years running to honor
America’s “fighting
men and women,” said
the organizer, Buddy
Runnels.
“We just thought that
in some small way that
we needed to honor what
they do to defend our constitution, our freedom, our
democracy and our way of
life,” Runnels said. “What
we try to do is get the enlisted men and women out
here for a day of golf and
fun. The military brass
and the officers often get
to play golf, but the enlisted folks don’t.”

and then climbed into golf

“This is awesome.
I’ve never been a part of
something like this,” said
Justin Fahn of the Army’s

moved to the Emerald
Coast in August. “I think
it’s great that someone

Month of the Military Child
symposium set for April 28
By TRACY CONNER
Contributing Writer
Activities at Eglin Air
Force Base on April 28 will
celebrate the Month of the
Military Child, now in its 25th
year.
“A recent conversation
with the Eglin Library staff
about a possible story hour
for families quickly turned
into a bigger venture,” says
Maryann Makekau, one of
the organizers of the daylong
event, which includes “a symposium for the heart, mind
and soul of deployment.”
The symposium will run
from 8 to 11 a.m. at the 9th
Special Operations Squadron Auditorium and feature
speeches, panel discussions,
refreshments and door
prizes.
The three keynote speakers are Makekau, who lives
in Fort Walton Beach and is
the author of the children’s
books “When Your Dad Goes
to War” and “When Your
Mom Goes to War;” Wendy
Hoffman, national president of Blue Star Mothers of
America Inc.; and Deborah
L. Kern, a licensed clinical
social worker and Air Force
wife whose father was a
Marine.
Makekau, who has a degree in psychology, uses a
“whimsical approach with
insightful tools to help bring
families closer in challenging times,” the promotional

919th Special Operations Wing
Public Affairs
DUKE FIELD — A 919th
Special Operations Wing Airman was recently chosen to
play on the Air Force men’s
beach volleyball team.
Tech. Sgt. David Dean,
919th Maintenance Squadron, was selected for the
second year in a row and is
looking to capitalize on his
strong second place performance at last year’s Armed
Forces Tournament.
The 33-year-old began
playing beach volleyball as a
high school freshman at age
15. A friend encouraged him
to try out for the team, but
he was cut.
“That gave me a lot of
motivation to make it the
following year and I’ve been
playing ever since,” said the
Keller, Texas native.
Since that fateful day,
he’s gone on to play in more
than 40 semi-professional
tournaments and even one
pro tournament. He played
well in many local and regional challenges, but said
he doesn’t plan on quitting
his day job any time soon
based on the tough competition at the pro level.
To prepare for the Air
Force selection, the 13-year
veteran said he tried to play
as much as possible. He
trained and played pick-up
games at the Boardwalk in
Fort Walton Beach.
The Duke Field reservist
said he sees a connection
between volleyball and life

He and his partner, Capt.
Joseph Gross, Air Force

two teams at the upcoming
Armed Forces Beach Volleyball Champion, April 12-15.
From there, they could represent the U.S. at the 5th Annual World Military Games
in Brazil in July.
He’ll take the lessons
learned from last year’s
tournament to help him advance this year.
“Never underestimate
how far playing with a lot of
heart can take you,” he said.
“The best thing about volleyball is competition, and it
doesn’t hurt that you’re out

either.”
ALPARAISO — One morning
in the fall of 1942, 20-year-old
Lester Rowley dressed for target practice.
He had just joined the Army Air
Corps and was training in Apalachicola
as a turret gunner. Soon he would be
shipped overseas to fly combat missions
in World War II.
He could not have known then what
an eventful flight he was about to take.
Rowley, now 89 and living in Valparaiso, said that in all his years and all
the people he has met, no one has had
the same experience he had in the air
that day.
Later that morning, Rowley hopped
in the back of the cockpit of an AT6
Texan. The plane was normally used to
tow banners used as targets, but for that
flight Rowley and the pilot would use the
plane to practice shooting.
Rowley was standing in the back of
the cockpit with his head in the open air.
He was wearing his helmet, which at
the time was only of a brown cloth cap
that wrapped down around his ears and
latched under his chin.
After he finished, Rowley remembered the pilot glancing back to see if he
was done. Then the pilot quickly flipped
the plane upside down into a wingover, a
common maneuver.
Rowley didn’t have a seat belt. He
tried to hold on, gripping and curling his
toes for as long as he could.
“I had no belt or nothing to hold me
in,” he said. “So out I went.”
Launched into the air headfirst,
Rowley said he didn’t have much time to
think.
He pulled the ripcord. The parachute
shot open, jerked his body from his free
fall and then dropped him unscathed into
the Gulf of Mexico 2,500 feet below. He
said air rescue crews plucked him from
the water just minutes later.
“I think I’m about the only one in the
Air Force that got dumped out of an airplane,” Rowley said. “It’s kind of a silly
thing to have happened.”
However, the near disaster didn’t give
him any second thoughts about a mili-

tary career.
“I never thought anything about it,”
he said. “It was our job.”
Rowley, who grew up in Lansing,
Mich., served 36 years in the military. He
fought in three wars and worked his way
up to technical sergeant.
Rowley and his wife Patricia, who
passed away 12 years ago, had five children. Four of them live in the area and
the fifth is in Slidell, La.
These days Rowley spends much of
his time at a work table where he and
his wife used to sit, he said. The table is
piled high with papers and small projects
— he enjoys tinkering with wood. He
and his son Bruce own Rowley’s Router
Works in Fort Walton Beach.
Rowley flew 61 combat missions during World War II as a turret gunner with
the 57th Bomb Wing. He and his crew
flew B25G airplanes out of North Africa,
Corsica and Italy.
During the war, Rowley said the
plane was your life. There were no tents,
so he and fellow airmen slept in the
plane or under it.
He shot down five enemy planes. His
planes were shot at, too.
A .50-caliber bullet and pieces of flak
metal from when his plane was hit are
nestled in among his rock collections at
his home.
In Corsica, his plane had to make a
crash landing.
“It was either jump out or ride in with
no landing gear,” he said.
His crew chose to ride it out.
“When the plane came down, we all
went popping out in different directions,
running like mad” because they feared it
would catch fire, he said.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
He wasn’t so lucky in Vietnam. He
earned a Purple Heart when he survived
a car-bomb attack on his living quarters.
The thing about the Purple Heart,
Rowley said, is that it’s the medal nobody wants to get.
“You have to be in the right place at
the wrong time or the wrong place at the
right time,” he said.
The place was his bunk in the back of
a Navy hospital in Saigon on the morning of Dec. 4, 1965.
Rowley was sound asleep. Suddenly,
the wall behind his bed was all around
him and the window had crashed over
his head.
Someone had driven a car into the
front entrance of the hospital and set off
a bomb.
“It’s not a good way to get woken up
on a Sunday,” he joked.
Rowley didn’t know it at the time, but
he had pieces of glass embedded in his
back.
He pulled himself from the rubble,
got dressed, grabbed his camera and

went out to see what was happening.
Businesses around the hospital were
damaged from the blast. Rowley said he
helped people out of the buildings and
made sure everyone was safe. It wasn’t
until that afternoon that he realized he
had been injured.
“That’s just what Americans would
do,” he said. “Jump in and help other
people.”
Rowley is the last of the World War II
veterans in his local chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, he said.
His chapter president has arranged a
reunion for him at the group’s meeting
at Bass Pro Shops in Destin. Rowley will
meet the pilot who dumped him from the
AT6 Texan plane nearly 69 years ago.
“I’ll probably ask him ‘Where have
you been? What have you done?’ ” he
said. “It’s good to get together with fellows that have been through the same
stuff that I have.”
Youth served: Teen takes
leadership to new heights
By Adam Duckworth
919th Special Operations Wing Public Affairs
DUKE FIELD — Alix Bikker is only 14 years old, but the
Niceville High School freshman is quickly becoming a
positive influence in the military community. When she’s
not busy playing the French horn in symphonic band or
participating in varsity track, she takes part in the Air
Force Reserve Teen Leadership Council.
According to its
mission statement,
the AFR Teen Leadership Council is a
nationwide group
of AFR dependant
teens that provide a
youth perspective in
the planning, implementation and evaluation of AFR youth
programs.
Alix is no stranger
to the life of a military dependant. Her
father, Lt. Col. David

like to move around
and have my father
deployed,” she said. “I want to help other teens in the
same situation.”
Alix became involved with the AFR Teen Leadership Council in the summer of 2010 when her mother
informed her about the Teen Leadership Summit where
she learned leadership principles and assisted veterans.
There, she along with 300 youth was invited to apply for
membership in the council. From the hundreds invited,
Alix was one of 16 actually accepted.
Alix does not take her role in the council passively.
Since last summer, she has attended several Yellow Ribbon Events - a pre and post-deployment information
seminar for Airmen and their families. She also maintains
a web site for the council (afrtlc.tripod.com) while making preparations to teach 300 people about first aid on
the battlefield over the summer. In the meantime, she is
developing a proposal for free child care to Air Force Reserve spouses who are attending college.
For someone who isn’t even old enough to receive a
driver’s license, one may wonder where she gets her
inspiration.
The answer to that question is simple enough.
“My father. He’s my role model.”
Disability evaluation reforms seen falling short
After a three-year effort
by the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs
to improve the process, ill
and injured military members still endure a long,
complex and often contentious evaluation system
when seeking disability
ratings and compensation
for service-related health
conditions.
The process has been
made more convenient and
even shortened by an average six to eight months under a pilot program jointly
run by the two departments
and which continues to be
expanded to more military
bases.
Yet the Defense Depart-
ment’s personnel chief and
the Army’s surgeon general
both have concluded that
the “integrated” disability
evaluation system, or IDES,
remains a disappointment.
More dramatic changes,
they suggest, have to occur
or else wounded warriors
and other disabled service members still will be
saddled with a process not
befitting their sacrifices to
serve the country.
Clifford L. Stanley, undersecretary of defense for
personnel and readiness,
first revealed the depth of
his concern to the annual
Military Health System conference in January. Stanley
said he had been “raising
Cain” over
the time
that injured
and ill
members
still spend

awaiting
medical appointments
and medical review
board decisions.
Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker, the Army’s top
medical officer, told the
House military personnel
subcommittee in March
that the pilot run by the
two departments since late
2007 “remains complex and
adversarial.”
Soldiers, he said, “still
undergo dual adjudication
where the military rates
only unfitting conditions
and the VA rates all service-connected conditions.”
That produces separate
ratings “confusing to
soldiers and leaves a serious misperception about
Army’s appreciation of
wounded and injured soldiers (and their) medical
Tom
Philpott
and emotional situation.”
During an interview in
his Pentagon office recently, Stanley said he agrees
with criticism of IDES,
although the pilot continues
to be improved as it replaces, base by base, the far
more flawed legacy DES.
The legacy system, still
used for 40 percent of members seeking disability ratings, requires each service
to conduct its own medical
evaluation to identify only
“unfitting” conditions and
award them a rating. If
the rating is 30 percent or
higher, the member is retired and draws a lifetime
annuity and other retiree
benefits, including access
to military medical care.
If the rating is below
30 percent, the member is
separated, usually with a
lump sum severance payment. Veterans then go to
VA where a new evaluation
process begins, this time
of every service-related
condition found. VA ratings

are higher than the service
allowed.
Back in 2007, it took
an average of 540 days to
clear both DES processes.
The pilot program to integrate them uses one set
of medical examinations
done by VA doctors to VA
standards. It has honed the
total process time down to
an average of just over 300
days. Members leave service with both their military
and VA ratings set and with
their compensation, usually
based on the VA, starting
immediately.
Stanley and Schoomaker
agree that IDES, where
it operates, has been an
improvement. Yet both
leaders say it doesn’t go
far enough to simplify and
accelerate the process for
the 26,000 members moving through it at any given
time. Stanley has had a
working group studying its
weaknesses. Recommendations to improve it will be
presented to Defense Secretary Robert Gates and VA
Secretary Eric Shinseki at
the end of April.
The ideal system, Stanley said, would produce “a
single evaluation based
upon one medical record,”
and over which Defense
and VA officials “have
joined hands and made
a decision: ‘Here’s the
disability rating. Period.’
That’s what we’re looking
for … That’s nirvana.”
But such a change, presuming the one and only
rating was set by VA, would
make many more military
members eligible to be
disabled “retirees,” thus
driving up DOD retirement
and medical costs. Neither
Stanley nor Schoomaker
have addressed, at least
publicly, the possible cost
consequences of their
vision.
What both appear to
be embracing is a key recommendation of the 2007
Dole-Shalala Commission,
which Congress and the
Department of Defense
choose to ignore because
of the costs involved. DoleShalala, formerly called the
President’s Commission on
Care for America’s Returning Wounded Warriors, was
formed after the scandal involving neglected wounded
warriors at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center.
It recommended getting “DOD completely out
of the disability business”
by giving VA sole responsibility for setting disability ratings and awarding
compensation. It urged
replacing “confusing parallel systems” of DOD and VA
ratings with a single simple
and more generous system.
Congress instead passed
more modest reforms to
integrate the two processes
partially. In the pilot, DOD
and VA use the same set of
exams. Both ratings occur
while members remain on
active duty. But IDES still
allows the military to rate
only “unfitting conditions”
for determining retirement
eligibility and the VA to rate
all conditions.
During the interview,
Stanley said this dual adjudication process keeps the
system too long and complex, and shakes the bond of
trust members should have
with their service branch as
they leave for civilian life.
Stanley isn’t persuaded,
as some IDES experts are,
that the law would have
to be changed to allow the
services to use more than
just “unfitting conditions”
to set disability ratings for
determining retirement
eligibility.
While that debate continues internally, Stanley is
pressing IDES officials to
take more steps to cut down
wait times for members,
and at the same time ensure that their rights to due
process are protected.
“At no time in this process are we talking about
going faster than they want
to go,” Stanley said. “We’re
not trying to rush people
out. We’re talking about
respecting them (and) giving them an opportunity to
go through a process that is
not dehumanizing.”
