Karen Roganov Team Eglin Public Affairs “Colors, ready, cut,” echoed in the 77,000 square foot expanse housing the F-35 Lightning II, followed by a “forward harch.” The calls and marching came from Airmen and Sailors executing their first official ceremony as a color guard. After a month of training twice a week, the joint group performed the flag presentation at a 33rd Fighter Wing change of command ceremony, Nov 2. “I’m proud of them,” said their trainer, Air Force Master Sgt. Troy Kiick, of the 33rd Maintenance Squadron, who just completed a three-year tour as the Eglin Honor Guard Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge. “I wouldn’t let them do it if they didn’t do it well.” With the all-Air Force squadron now being transformed to include a Navy commander and a few incoming Marines, there was a need to have an honor guard reflect the squadron’s new joint composition. Kiick saw the need and offered his services. He asked for volunteers in the maintenance units and received just the right amount of responses. None had prior experience, yet they stepped up from day one, he said. According to Kiick, a key to their preparation was their ability to retain instruction and take corrective criticism, which usually coincides with a volunteer spirit. For one Airman, this was a dream fulfilled. “I always wanted to be in the honor guard,” said Airman 1st Class Justin Glover, with the 33rd Maintenance Squadron. He said the training and ceremony gave him a taste for it and he’s eager to perform again. For Petty Officer 2nd Class, James Peters, an aviation ordnanceman, the most challenging thing for him to learn was foot placement. “We’re taught in boot camp to stand at a forty-five degree angle,” he said. Instead, the tight formation of an honor guard required keeping the toes together. He overcame those obstacles quickly, because Peters was chosen to lead and belt out commands Samuel King Jr. | USAF A chief master sergeant salutes as the newly-formed joint color guard team of 33rd Fighter Wing members presents the colors for the first time during a recent change of command ceremony at Eglin Air Force Base, Nov. 2.

He used techniques gained in his prior work environment to carry out his new mission. Peters said he learned his com- mand voice while directing people and aircraft amidst earsplitting flight line operations and the teamwork finesse from the silent hand signals and other choreography necessary on an even noisier aircraft carrier. To execute the precision facing, flag and rifle movements, Peters said he drives the calls off the others by watching when the timing is best to give a command. This, along with remembering Kiick’s skill-honing expressions made for lock-step movements. “One-two-three-four,” Kiick enunciated loud and slow trying to reduce the excited pace of the members during pre-ceremony practice. “Get your knees up, that will help you.” With the pressure of a first performance and a crowd of co-workers, commanders and community leaders, the team’s concentration remained un-jarred as they bowed flags, squared up rifles and pivoted their boots in precision. After the ceremony, the incoming 33rd Maintenance Squadron Commander, Cmdr. Joel Tessier, praised the team’s performance stating they did very well and expressed what they meant to him. “They represent the joint integration of the entire 33rd Fighter Wing.” Friday, November 11, 2011 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Page Eglin will eliminate 351 positions while Hurlburt will target 100 By MONA MOORE Florida Freedom Newspapers More details on Eglin’s job cuts emerged during a press conference Thursday Nov. 3 with Maj. Gen. Kenneth Merchant, commander of the Air Armament Center and Air Force Program Executive Officer for Weapons, Air Force Materiel Command. The AFMC eliminated 351 civilian positions at Eglin. The changes will take effect Oct. 1, 2012. By cutting jobs with average salaries of $100,000 each, the Air Force expects to save more than $35 million a year. The Department of Defense cuts avoided moving installations like previous Base Realignments and Closures. Officials focused on supervisory positions, a strategy that “takes the tail away and leaves the tooth,” Merchant said. “We want to make sure that we do the right things strategically so that we keep our workforce strong,” he said. Because the base has been on a hiring freeze, many of the positions were already vacant. Exactly how many of them, no one could say. DEVON RAVINE | Daily News Maj. Gen. Kenneth Merchant, commander of Eglin’s Air Armament Center, talks to reporters during a press conference Nov. 3 about some of the job cuts that will result from an Air Force plan to consolidate command of the AAC to Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. What is clear is that Merchant and base officials are working to reassign those affected into positions not slated for elimination. Thirty-eight people took advantage of the early retirement program and the voluntary separation incentives when given the option last May. Merchant said they will be approved and completed by the end of the year. A second round of applications will be accepted in January. Because of previously vacant positions, attrition and the voluntary programs, Merchant said all but 43 people had been placed. “Our goal is to cover as many people as we can,” Merchant said. He stressed that 43 was a “soft number” he hopes to drive down to “0” as he and officials continue to seek open vacant positions and evaluate whether any of the eliminated positions might be deemed indispensible and given a last-minute reprieve. Because of the continued efforts, the 43 employees will be not be notified of their job’s demise for at least two weeks. Workers were briefed Thursday. Merchant spent the morning in meetings to discuss the overall changes with all of his personnel. The job cuts were the result of two Department of Defense initiatives: the AFMC restructuring from 12 to five centers and the DOD’s Global Base Support initiatives that will consolidate support functions. The GBS cutbacks also reached Hurlburt Field. In a press release issued Thursday, Hurlburt Field officials announced 100 civilian positions would be cut in order to reduce civilian manpower to fiscal year 2010 levels. More than half of those were already empty. The majority of Hurlburt’s positions were from the force support and civil engineering career fields. All affected employees will be notified by their commanders by Nov. 4. “Currently, 21 Hurlburt Field employees could potentially face a RIF action,” the release said. A RIF, or reduction-in-force, is a government layoff. “We recognize the tremendous value of our civilian workforce to Team Hurlburt and to the Air Force, and we clearly understand the stress and anxiety these and future reductions cause within our work force,” said Col. Jim Slife, 1st Special Operations Wing commander. “That’s why we’re making every effort to use voluntary means to achieve the reductions and will share information with our civilian workforce as soon as it becomes available.” Merchant said previous cutbacks had started with RIFs and left the civilian community alone. “In this case, we’ve got a target we’ve got to hit,” he said. Merchant said additional cuts may be in Eglin’s future, but he is not aware of any specific plans. “I have no other plans to take positions at Eglin at this point,” he said.

Sal Nodjomian 96th Air Base Wing commander Veterans Day honors the duty, sacrifice and service of America’s nearly 25 million veterans of all wars. On this Veterans Day, let us remember and honor those who have served and those who remain in service to our nation... they are the commentary true heroes.

Beal Pkwy. Friday, November 11, 2011 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Page Change is coming to Eglin By Maj. Gen. Kenneth Merchant Air Armament Center commander I want to thank you for coming out to the commander’s calls to hear the updates on two important initiatives impacting Eglin. As we all know, the current U.S. fiscal environment requires the Department of Defense and the Air Force to find more efficient and effective ways of doing business. Earlier this year, the Secretary of Defense challenged the services to meet critical requirements: 1) use a more strategic approach to meet those fiscal challenges; 2) preserve our maximum capabilities, and 3) find strategic solutions aimed at reducing management, staff and support areas while preserving “tooth” —or our core capabilities. As a result of these challenges, the Air Force has announced several initiatives—two of which have a large impact on the Air Force Materiel Command and Eglin workforce: the AFMC 5-Center Restructure and the Air Force’s Global Base Support initiatives. Let me give you some insight into what the 5-Center Restructure specifically means for Eglin. Currently, there are 12 centers performing four assigned missions within AFMC. Those missions will be consolidated under five centers by October 1, 2012. The Air Armament Center mission headquartered at Eglin will be integrated into two of the five new centers based on core mission area. First, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, located at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, will be responsible for ensuring adequate resources are available to support weapon systems. Our current acquisition organization — Armament Dimaj. gen. rectorate kenneth — will now merchant align within AFLCMC for resources and policy. Program execution responsibility will remain unchanged with program authority flowing from Program Executive Officer at Eglin to the Service Acquisition Executive at Headquarters Air Force. Second, the Air Force Test Center will be located at Edwards AFB, Calif., and will be responsible for all developmental, test and evaluation mission efforts. The 46th Test Wing will re- port to that organization. The 96th Air Base Wing functions will be integrated into the expanded 46th Test Wing. When this is accomplished, the 46th TW commander will serve as the installation commander. The implementation date for this restructure is by Oct. 1 2012. This overall reorganization will realize significant savings in costs and manpower. The Global Base Support initiative represents a shift in our mind set of traditional base-level support for our Airmen. Airmen today receive support in different ways than their predecessors did. Today, not every base requires every support function that was previously available to our members. We will explore more ways to utilize local commentary communities, standardize services and consolidate or regionalize like functions where possible. What does this mean for our personnel? We can’t be successful without our talented and experienced civilian workforce. However, to gain efficiencies some reductions are necessary. We are making difficult choices about how to deliberately restructure and posture the workforce and will continue to look for better ways of accomplishing the mission. We will first use all voluntary personnel management options available to limit impacts on civilian employees, to include attrition, early retirement and incentive opportunities where 9$',6$%,/,7<&/$,0'(1,('" *HWWLQJWKHUXQDURXQG"&RQIXVHGE\WKH9$FODLPVSURFHVV" 'RQ·WNQRZZKDWWRGRQH[W"/HWXVKDQGOH\RXU9$ GLVDELOLW\FODLPDQGGHDOZLWKWKH9$VR\RXGRQ·WKDYHWR and when possible. We have already begun that approach by offering VERA/VSIP to civilians in May 2011. The first round of 38 will be approved and completed by Dec. 31. There will be a second round of VERA/VSIP applications in January 2012 to continue to help us meet our directed end strength. The Eglin civilian numbers involved in this restructuring are: 351 total authorizations eliminated (includes test and evaluation funded reductions of 50) 38 are approved for VSIP 88 percent of the impacted personnel have been matched to vacancies We’re working 43 placement actions to complete 351 reductions Together we are shaping the Air Force today to ensure its strength tomorrow. In the future, the Air Force will be leaner, while remaining effective. This means the workforce and installations will look and operate differently in certain respects. We fully support these efforts and are committed to doing everything possible to make every defense dollar count and directly support the warfighter.

They were gathered for the 24th annual Thunderbird Intertribal Powwow that the Eglin and Hurlburt Native American Month committees and the Thunderbird Intertribal Council sponsored. The event kicked off Native American Month activities for the bases and local communities The dancers moved to the sound of vocal chants, which start quietly and crescendo, over throbbing drumbeats. “It’s one steady beat you move your feet to,” said Kirby Locklear, a vice chairman for the powwow. “And a heartbeat — loud-soft, loud-soft.” Each dancer’s motions and clothing represented a different tribe or region, Locklear explained as the dancers moved around the circle. The grass dancer wore long yellow and orange ribbons on his sleeves and pant legs. Traditionally, grass dancers were the ones who came onto the plain first and stamped down the grass so it would be prepared for the other dancers. A young girl wore a more modern “fancy shawl,” made of sparkly gold material emblazoned with a red, white and blue butterfly. A boy wore a maroon turban on his head, which honors the Cherokee. One young woman wore the outfit for a healing dance called the jingle. Attached to the outside of her clothing were 365 small metal cones, representing the days of the year. Traditionally, Locklear said, the cones were made from snuff can lids rolled into a bell shape. A man dressed in the style of the Plains Indians wore a headdress called a porcupine roach, made of porcupine guard and deer hair, and a feather bustle on his back.

Friday, November 11, 2011 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Page Friends in sickness and in health Teachers to visit co-worker whose husband lost both legs in Afghanistan By KATIE TAMMEN Florida Freedom Newspapters MARY ESTHER — A group of local teachers will be celebrating this Veterans Day in a very special way with a very special couple. Four teachers from Mary Esther Elementary School are heading up to Bethesda, Md., to spend the holiday with their coworker Lisa Deslauriers and her husband, Tech. Sgt. Joe Deslauriers. Joe, an EOD technician at Hurlburt Field, has been recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center since the end of September after he lost both legs above the knee and part of his left arm in Afghanistan. His recovery is going well, and he has begun both occupational and physical therapy, said Mindy McFarland, who is close friends with the couple. Doctors have said he will likely be able to return home to Florida in six months to a year, she said. In the meantime, Lisa, who is eight months pregnant with their first child, has left her friends and her job as a Project Child teacher for students in kindergarten through second grade to be by her husband’s side as he recovers. Since she lef t, her friends and co-workers have done what they can for her. They’ve sent letters, emails, gift cards and even made a video of Lisa’s students for her, but it never seemed like enough. “We’re down here and we can’t really do anything and it’s so frustrating,” said McFarland, who is Lisa’s best friend and a kindergarten teacher at the school. As Joe continued to improve and Lisa’s due date drew nearer, her friends realized a trip to visit the couple was just what the doctor ordered. So, after a little discussion, they decided to catch a late flight Nov. 10 after classes end because they have the next day off for the national holiday. They plan to spend the weekend doting on Lisa. “If it was one of us, she would do the same thing for us in a heartbeat, without thinking,” said Michelle Harris, who teaches third grade. In addition to Harris and McFarland, second- grade teacher Malaina Johnson and Victoria Diamond, who is taking over for Lisa while she’s gone, are making the weekend trip. Exact plans weren’t clear, but the group will likely head out for sushi, as is their tradition here, and, of course, go see Joe. They had planned on throwing Lisa a surprise baby shower but changed that plan after a group of military wives held one for her last weekend. McFarland flew up for that one and said both Lisa and Joe are doing well. Lisa has moved into an apartment near the hospital, and most of Joe’s major surgeries should be behind him. They’ve even been able to speak with nurses in the maternity ward about the Dec. 6 birth of their son, Cameron Joseph. Doctors have said Joe will be able to be there for the birth, which has been his goal all along. “They are doing good and they are very happy,” McFarland said. “His main focus is to recover and be able to help Lisa however he can.” In addition to their visit, the school is also holding a remote baby shower for Lisa via Skype and an account has been set up for the couple at Wells Fargo banks.

Residents throughout Shalimar and Fort Walton Beach gathered at the Fairfield Inn Nov. 7 to do pushups for a cause. For each push up, participants donated one penny and each sponsor donated a penny to the Wounded Warrior Project. “The military is woven into the fabric of this community,” said Shannon Scott, sales director with the hotel. “We’re going to do everything we can to help out.” Each hour Scott, his staff and community participants dropped to their knees and counted aloud as they raised funds through their physical fitness. Scott planned out his push-up area based on ground level to help keep his momentum going. “I want a place where I’m going downhill,” he said laughing with his co-workers. “I’m not quite sure how many I’ll be able to do so I need the right set up.” Joseph Grimes, who recently retired from the Army, wore a whistle around his neck to help “motivate” participants. “One, two, three, keep it up,” Grimes said as the push ups began. “After surviving five tours and seeing the men and women wounded over there it makes me want to come here and help out,” Grimes said. “I want to make sure that no matter what if those soldiers get wounded they are taken care of. This is my way of doing that.” Scott said he read about a similar story happening overseas and was inspired to raise funds locally. Pennies for Push-ups will be happening until the end of the year. No monetary goal has been set, but Scott said several local businesses have already participated and others have pledged to bring in their pennies. “We thought we’d kick off charity season today and make it last,” Scott said. “We’re focusing now on challenging participants to do 11 push ups with 11 sponsors on Nov. 11, Veterans Day. “We’re thrilled with the participation we’ve had for such a worthy cause,” he said. “We challenge everyone to come out and give us some push ups.” Joseph Grimes cheers on everyone around him to do more Push-ups for Pennies. All profits raised by the staff at Fairfield Inn in Shalimar go to the Wounded Warrior Project. ANGEL McCURDY | Daily News dancers From page 6 Nearby, Chief Papa (Gilles) Martin, of the Cherokee Indians in Georgia, was cooking fry bread, an American Indian staple made of flour and water deep-fried in peanut oil. Martin said he learned the recipe (which he “ain’t sharing”) from his wife’s mother, who learned it from her own mother. “It’s been going for years and years,” he said. Originally, the bread was cooked over hot rocks, he said. Then, American Indians learned to use a buffalo bladder to heat oil to cook the bread in, he said. Martin was raised in Canada in the Mohawk tribe but later joined the Cherokee after marrying. While American Indian men hunted and fished for food, women were charged with running the tribe and taking care of the village, he said. Because of that dynamic, Indian men join their wife’s tribe at marriage. Locklear’s heritage is of the Lumbee Indians from southeastern North Carolina, but he grew up in Baltimore, Md. “I knew I was American Indian, but I didn’t know anything about my culture and I was living in this city,” he said. His family decided to establish an American Indian center in Baltimore, which is where he and many other children in the area learned traditional dances and beadwork. He said he hopes the powwow will similarly kindle American Indian traditions and keep them alive through generations. “You can’t write down how to Indian dance,” he said. “You’ve got to show it and you’ve got to do it.” 2037579 Page 10 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Friday, November 11, 2011 Flying Needles group creates Quilts of Valor By SHARON DOOLEY Contributing Writer A quilt can’t be made unless a whole piece of fabric has been cut up, rearranged and sewn into something that can provide warmth, even security for the person wrapped inside. Sometimes wars do that — take people who are whole, cut them up, and rearrange them into something new after providing security for loved ones at home. Last month, Niceville’s Flying Needles Quilt Guild held its workshop for Quilts of Valor, a national organization that distributes the blankets to those who have been touched by war. “I’m a member of the Flying Needles, and this is what I’ve taken on as my contri- bution to the guild,” said Ginger Maddox, who holds her doctor of education and serves as an instructor at Northwest Florida State College. Maddox is also retired from the U.S. Navy. “The national Quilts of Valor Foundation gets (quilts) to the people who need them,” Maddox also said. Maddox organized and supervised the workshop, with Flying Needles guild members providing their skills to construct the quilts that will be the organization’s contribution. This local quilt guild became involved with Quilts of Valor three years ago when a member SHARON DOOLEY | Contributing photographer Virginia Flournoy (from left) and Billie Maddox cut squares that will become part of a See quilts page 11 Quilt of Valor.

When that member could no longer continue the work for Quilts of Valor, Maddox stepped forward. The workshop, one of three held within a year, resembled a cottage industry production line. About 20 members took on one or more of the jobs, which include measuring and cutting fabric, organizing pieces, sewing and ironing. The tops of the quilts are prepared by the guild members, while the actual quilting process will be completed on a time-saving machine by a quilting company. Some members also work on quilts at home, with a new guild member, Sandy Schlechter, saying that “you can only make so many quilts for yourself.” Another new member, Marisol Kingsbury, chose the Oct. 27 Quilts of Valor workshop to be her first day to participate in the guild. “This is the best way to get involved with the ladies who do so much,” Kingsbury said, but then she turned toward her sewing SHARON DOOLEY | Contributing photographer Marisol Kingsbury (from left) and Gina White iron seems after the fabric pieces have been sewn. machine and began piecing the blocks for a quilt top. Guild members would stop to speak for only a few moments, but they’d all quickly return to their tasks, with Maddox walking among tables to answer questions or explain the color combinations. Quilts of Valor allows some latitude on the quilt designs, but all must feature red, white or blue fabrics. The fabrics themselves must be top-quality, new 100-percent cotton. The ideal quilt size is 54 by 64 inches. “A lot of this is donated fabric,” Maddox said. “We take what we’re given and try to make the best out of it. We want it to be the best we can.” The guild sends some of its completed quilts to the national Quilts of Valor, but it has also donated quilts locally. Often the quilt goes to a military veteran, but sometimes it could go to a family member or to civilians who work directly with the military. “There’s wounded, and then there’s wounded,” Maddox said. “We also have individuals who don’t have visible wounds,” she continued. “We have World War II veterans who may or may not have been wounded but need it now. “We also can give (quilts) locally, and we can determine that,” Maddox said. One of the more touching moments for a few guild members was when they were able to attend a Returning Warrior Workshop hosted by the Navy and Marine Corps held this year in Pensacola. The dinner honored the returning personnel, but none knew that they’d be receiving the quilts. After the presentation, recipients and their families commented that they would make the quilts cherished family heirlooms. The Flying Needles Quilting Guild, which has been active in Niceville since 1989, held this workshop at the Church of Christ in Niceville. In addition to its Quilts of Valor work, the guild makes Christmas stockings for needy children, and charity quilts. The Flying Needles Quilt Guild is a 503 c (3) organization, and it relies on fabric and monetary donations. To make a donation, mail checks to Flying Needles Quilt Guild, P.O. Box 1652, Niceville, Fla., 32588. Write in the memo section of the check if the donation is for Quilts of Valor or for children’s charities.

Page 14 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Friday, November 11, 2011 Debt panel likes ‘chain’ COLA; ‘TRICARE prime’ cut offered A congressional “super committee” tasked to slow the nation’s rising debt appears to have reached consensus on dampening future cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for federal entitlement programs, including military retirement, through use of a “chainweighted” Consumer Price Index. If that CPI were already in use, military retirees, disabled veterans and Social Security recipients would be getting a 3.4 percent COLA in January rather than the planned 3.6 percent hike, government price data show. Democrats and Republicans on the powerful 12-member Joint Select Committee on Debt Reduction offered separate partisan packages last week toward trimming at least $1.2 trillion off projected budget deficits over the next decade. Republican members predictably stuck to their pledge not to accept new Tom Philpott tax hikes, which Democrats demanded for “balance” of sacrifice. A feature said to be in both packages is adoption of the chain-weighted or “chain” CPI for adjusting federal entitlements, a move estimated to save $200 billion over 10 years. Many economists say the chain CPI is a more accurate index of inflation because it addresses “substitution bias” found in traditional consumer price indices run by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many entitlements now are adjusted based on the CPI for Urban Wage Earn- ers and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W. It tracks prices for a market basket of goods and services, which are weighted based on spending patterns of mostly blue-collar workers. Every two years, BLS conducts a new survey to readjust how goods and services are weighted in the basket. What CPI-W doesn’t do is change the mix of goods and services surveyed to reflect changes in spending behavior. For example, as the price of beef rises, consumers buy less beef and more chicken. Because CPI-W doesn’t take account of that, critics contend, it Tree Service • Landscaping Grounds Care • Irrigation Lot Clearing • Bobcat Service Hauling Sod • Firewood & Much More! Randy R. Hinkler Landscaping Contractor & Tree Surgeon, Inc. Free Estimates • Military Discounts Licensed & Insured 259-2677 2042525 Magnolia Grill SDVOSB exaggerates inflation. The chain CPI reflects not only changes in prices but in spending behavior, from more expensive items to less expensive substitutes. But critics of this index argue it ignores the fact that consumers might prefer beef to chicken, so that over time the chain CPI will leave consumers feeling worse off. Recent debt-reduction reports, including the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform last December, have recommended adopting the chain CPI for Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). Since 2002, when BLS first established this index, it has measured inflation rising at a slower pace, almost three-tenths of a percentage point a year lower than the CPI-W. Testifying Tuesday (Nov. 1) before the super committee, the co-chairs of the fiscal reform commission again endorsed shifting to the chain CPI. “If we could do it government wide it would save billions,” said Alan Simpson, a Republican and former senator from Wyoming. No criticism was offered. Erskine Bowles, Simpson’s partner on the commission, included the chain CPI feature in a $3.9 billion possible debt reduction deal he outlined for super committee members, contending most elements were agreed to previously by Democrats and Republicans. Bowles indicated the chain CPI was a feature he knows both sides of the super committee support. TARGETING ‘PRIME’ RETIREES — Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has advised the super committee to consider ending access to TRICARE Prime, the military’s popular managed care option, for workingage retirees and their families, to avoid spending cuts that would directly impact readiness.

The cuts would be in addition to nearly $500 billion in defense spending curbs over 10 years already ordered by President Obama as part of an earlier deficitreduction agreement. Uniformed leaders of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps testified Tuesday to the devastating impact these automatic cuts, called sequestration, would have on force levels and weapons modernization programs if the super committee can’t reach a deal by its Nov. 23 deadline. Pulling the TRICARE Prime idea from a recent Congressional Budget Office report, McCain said forcing retirees under 65 to use TRICARE Standard, the fee-for-service option, or health insurance from civilian employers, or space-available care at base clinics or hospitals, could save DoD medical accounts up to $111 billion over the next decade. McCain, ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, was once a champion for expanded TRICARE benefits to retirees. He was not available for an interview. But a staff member explained the senator feels eliminating retiree TRICARE Prime is more acceptable than alternatives to cut equipment, training or key weapon programs needed by the current force. “Faced with the pos- sibility of sequester and its potential for an enormously harmful impact on national security,” he said, McCain wants the super committee to consider carefully options “that would not impose drastic negative impacts on the Defense Department, or the currently serving force and their families, while sustaining the TRICARE benefit.” As reported here two weeks ago, McCain also has embraced President Obama’s proposal to set a $200 a year enrollment fee for TRICARE for Life, the prized supplement to Medicare for military beneficiaries age 65 and older. Retirees under 65 are another 40 percent of the TRICARE-eligible population. TRICARE Standard users face higher out-ofpockets costs, with annual deductibles and cost-shar- sports Briefs ing requirements, but they can choose their own care providers. Beneficiary costs can’t exceed an annual catastrophic cap. But CBO suggests raising that cap of $3,000 a year per family to $7,500. CBO said 71 percent of working-age military retirees currently use some form of TRICARE. That number would fall to 35 percent if access to Prime were denied. Most of these beneficiaries would elect to use civilian employer health insurance, thus reversing a trend over the last few decades of military retirees leaving employer insurance plans to use TRICARE.

With that in mind, I take it to heart when a fellow Airman does not desire to pursue formal education when tuition assistance is available. Now, there are exceptions and valid reasons when someone may not be able to pursue formal education.

The no-kill shelter, located on Eglin Air Force Base, operates only on volunteer efforts and donations. Photo by Christina Beebe By Ashley M. WrighT Pet Welfare publicity coordinator Finding new homes for the pets service members leave behind due to deployment or permanent change of station is the primary mission of Pet Welfare, a no-kill, all-volunteer animal shelter, located here. Pet Welfare accepts cats and dogs from civilians or shelters that practice euthanasia, if room is available. However, this has not stopped some individuals from abandoning their pets on the shelter’s doorstep, without identification or explanation of any health issues. “Sometimes it feels like a losing battle,” said Jennifer Chapman, Pet Welfare board chairman. “Then, you look into that dog’s eyes or hear an abandoned cat purr, and you know you have to find a way to make it work.” Christina Beebe, a Pet Welfare volunteer, described how Bumblebean, a neglected, mistreated cat, soon thrived at Pet Welfare with a little time and attention. “He would lash out at all the cats,” Beebe said. “He was really territorial, since he was used to fending for himself. I think being in the shelter has been the best thing for him. If he had gone to a ‘kill’ shelter, there is a good chance he would not have had the time to settle in and make friends.” A common misconception about Pet Welfare is the shelter receives government funding. “We operate 100 percent on donations, from individuals, through the Combined Federal Campaign and through grants,” Chapman said. “Our doors remain open because of awareness and this is done through our volunteers. Without them spreading the word, our bills would go unpaid and our doors would close.” Pet Welfare operates with no paid positions. Twice a day, 365 days a year, volunteers arrive to feed and walk dogs; change water bowls; clean litter boxes and give medications. They also write grants, plan events and help with fundraisers.
