Dan Heaton 127th Wing Public Affairs 4/22/2014 - SELFRIDGE AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Mich. -- One of the two Air Force flight squadrons at Selfridge Air National Guard Base shares a history with a Michigan World War II veteran who has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross after an official military review of his service in that war. Alfred P. Murphy, a veteran of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, was recently presented with the DFC during a ceremony presided over by Col. Philip R. Sheridan, 127th Wing commander at Selfridge. During the war, Murphy was a crewmember on a B-17 Flying Fortress, assigned to the 322nd Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group (H), 8th Air Force. At the same time, the 374th Fighter Squadron, flying P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft, was also assigned to the 8th Air Force, tasked with providing fighter escort to the bomber aircraft of the 8th. The legacy of the 374th lives on today, in one of the Michigan Air National Guard's flying squadrons. While Murphy was flying with the 322nd, the 8th Air Force's bomber and fighter squadrons were operating from air fields in England. The various U.S. and allied squadrons would join up in the air, with the fighters working to protect the bombers from enemy aircraft during missions over the European mainland. The heroic adventures of the 8th Air Force and its Airmen in World War II have been the subject of numerous books, movies and other recollections. Following World War II, the 374th was briefly inactivated. Several months later, the unit was re-activated and re-designated as the 171st Fighter Squadron and assigned to the Michigan Air National Guard. After a number of mission and aircraft assignment changes over the years, the 171st was re-designated as the 171st Air Refueling Squadron in 2008 and assigned KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft. The 171st ARS is now a component of the 127th Wing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Today, in addition to other assignments, the 171st ARS has participated in a series of "rolling mobilizations" in southwest Asia. Since the rolling mobilizations began in 2011, at least one air crew and ground support personnel and one of the unit's aircraft have been almost continuously forward deployed. The squadron has also deployed to Europe and to the Pacific Command several times in recent years.

To be historically accurate, this aircraft started its life as a Marine Corps SNJ-4, BuNo 27842, It’s last assignment was at MCAS Cherry Point NC and in the late 1950s it was sold out of NAS Litchfield Park AZ (where most Navy/Marine Corps where stored at the time) as surplus to a civilian buyer, In 1970 it went to Newark OH, to Niagara Falls NY in 2011, to Broken Arrow OK and Los Angeles CA in 2012, and to the Selfridge Military Air Museum in 2013. The aircraft is being restored as a T-6, Serial #28-227, flown by the 171 FBS. This serial number was involved in an accident near Union City MI on 10 June 1954 with Col Lester A. Erikson (deceased) as its pilot. Museum volunteers anticipate it being displayed in our Air Park in 2014 and hopefully at the 6/7 September 2014 Open House. MANGBANG [Type text] 11 [Type text] JULY 2014 [Type text] Driving in Michigan From Jesse Archibald Just in case your driver's license is coming up for renewal and you need to take the written test. . . . . . . . . . . BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN MICHIGAN 1. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and are apparently not enforceable in the metro Detroit area during rush hour. 2. In Michigan 55 is the speed at which you leave the driveway. 3. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same jerks to squeeze their way in before the orange construction barrels. 4. Turn signals will give away your next move. uses them. A real Michigan driver never 5. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation. 6. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered going with the flow. 7. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork. 8. Michigan is a no-fault insurance state and the other guy doesn't have anything to lose. 9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a Michigan driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot. 10. Learn to swerve abruptly as Michigan is the home of high-speed slalom driving thanks to MDOT, which put potholes in key locations to test driver's reflexes and keep them on their toes. 11. It is traditional in Michigan to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light changes. 12. Seeking eye contact with another driver revokes your right of way. 13. Real Michigan women drivers can put on pantyhose and apply eye makeup at seventy-five miles per hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic. 14. Real Michigan male drivers can shave, drink coffee, read the newspaper, and talk on the cell phone at 80 miles per hour in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic.

Since December, retiree cards issued have an expiration date effective the day before the retiree’s 65th birthday. Although benefits will not automatically expire, some changes will take effect based on Medicare eligibility, Air Force Personnel Center officials said. Retirees and their eligible spouses will still have access to benefits and they'll still be enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System, but the expiration date - which is one day before their 65th birthday - is a reminder to retirees that they must enroll in Medicare Part A and B to retain their TRICARE for Life eligibility," said Ed Yoder, Air Force DEERS project office. Airmen who retired before the December card change took effect do not need to get a new ID card just because of the expiration date change, Yoder said. "If your ID card is worn out, unserviceable or your appearance has changed significantly enough that the picture is no longer a good likeness, you should get your card replaced. But there is no mandate to replace your card with the new expiration date card." Retirees who have the new card showing the expiration date will get a replacement card showing the indefinite status once they turn 65, and spouses' cards will read "indef" once they turn 75, Yoder said. Airmen who need or want to renew their retiree ID card can go to the nearest Real-time Automated Personnel Identification System office (military personnel section), or call their nearest RAPIDS facility for assistance and guidance. To find the nearest ID card issuing facility, visit http://www.dmdc.osd.mil For information the new expiration date retiree card, DEERS eligibility programs and other personnel issues, visit the myPers website at https://mypers.af.mil.

The memorial is a place to honor all members of the military who gave their lives in the line of duty and in the service of this great nation, to recognize all those who have in the past or who are currently serving their country, and to acknowledge the contributions made by families and companies to the preservation of freedom. Pictures of the Memorial Area and the Memorial Wall are above. The centerpiece is an elevated F-86 Sabre aircraft, an aircraft flown, maintained, and supported by three Michigan Air Guard units in the mid-1950s. Flanking the F-86 is the Memorial Wall topped by engraved Memorial Bricks such as those shown below. We invite you to become part of this memorial and to recognize a unit, an individual, or a family by purchasing an engraved b rick that will become a permanent part of the Memorial Wall. Cash donations for the Memorial project are also welcome. All memorial brick purchases and donations for this effort are tax-deductible per Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Engraved memorial bricks cost $100.00 per brick for non-members (cost includes a one-year membership in MAGHA), $75.00 per brick for members, and $50.00 per brick when multiple brick orders are made. For example, a one-brick order from a MAGHA member would cost $75.00, a two-brick order would cost $125.00, and a three-brick order $175.00.
