Team Eglin Public Affairs
Volunteers from Eglin’s Troop
Care Drive Committee and military family members worked together to pack 60 boxes to send
to deployed service members as
part of the association’s biannual
drive Jun. 5 at Eglin Elementary
School.
“The [committee] started as
a means of giving back to those
giving so much for us,” said 1st
Lt. Victoria Carrillo, committee
chairperson. “We recognize the
importance of what they are doing
and want to make sure they know
they are remembered by us here
at home.”
The committee, part of Eglin’s
Company Grade Officers Association, is made up of five CGOs with
varying experiences with care
packages, with some having received them while on their own
deployments, and others who have
sent them for their loved ones.
“My dad deployed a lot, and my
mom would send care packages
with anything he needed, to include our letters,” said Carrillo.
“He always said that’s what kept
him going while he away. I joined
the committee, because I believed
in the mission.”
The committee’s mission is to
keep up the morale of deployed
members through care packages
containing everything from nonperishable food, reading material,
playing cards, and hand-made
greeting cards - all donated from
local schools.
According to Carrillo, committee members coordinated with
Okaloosa County schools to collect
donated items throughout the year.
As the drive is hosted semiannually, once in the spring and once
in the fall, participating schools
were split into supporting one or
the other.
“It’s a constant process for us to
coordinate with schools for drives,”
said Carrillo. “As soon as one shipment is done, we hit the road running to prep for the next one six
months later.”
In addition to the school support,

Grade Officer Council’s troop care drive at the Eglin Elementary School cafeteria June 5.
Center invites spouses of deployed
members to provide addresses or
join the effort to personally pack
boxes for their loved ones.
“It’s a fun activity to involve
the children,” said Michele Ebert,
whose husband is deployed. “It’s
good for them to be able to see the
package go from here and see pictures of [their father] open it overseas and know they were able to
give him something from home.”
For Heather McLain, the drive
made sending care packages that
much easier for her.
“It’s amazing just how many
supplies were gathered,” said
McLain, whose spouse is also deployed. “It makes it easy, and the
kids were very excited to come
over and build a box for daddy.”
The drive mostly supports deployed Eglin Airmen. Over the past
two years, the committee has packaged and sent nearly 500 boxes and
the feedback Carrillo receives directly from the troops is more than
worth the effort.
“There’s nothing quite like getting a random care package,” said
a deployed Airman. “It reminds me
there are people out there praying and thinking about us. It is
much appreciated and a welcome
surprise.”
Another writes, “Thank you so
much for your generous gifts and
encouragement. We are so proud
to serve you and our country.”
When I was told in January 2012 I would have the
privilege to serve as the
first Air Force Test Center

33 FW CC wins Florida AFA award
33rd Fighter Wing
Public Affairs
Col. Todd D. Canterbury,
33rd Fighter Wing commander, was presented
the Florida Air Force Association Jerry Waterman
Award by the Eglin Chapter
president here, June 10.
Established in 1967, the
Jerry Waterman Award is
presented to an active duty
Air Force member who has
made the most significant
contribution to the Air
Force for the past year.
“Standing up a fifthgeneration aircraft, the
training for both U.S. and
international students and
performing developmental
and operational tests that
are expanding the envelope while still flying the
F-35A Lightning II is incredible,” said Eddie McAllister, AFA Eglin Chapter
365 president. “Without a
doubt, Col. Canterbury has
earned this prestigious
award through dedicated
service to our nation, our
Air Force mission and the
Eglin community.”

USAF’s F-35 closer to its
initial operational capability,” said McAllister. “In
doing so, he has equipped
today’s combat forces and
paved the way for the next
50 years of future Air Force
success.”
Upon receiving the
award, Col. Canterbury
stated that the award just
proves that if you surround
yourself with great people,
amazing things happen.
“I am honored to accept this award on behalf
of all the men and women
of the 33rd Fighter Wing
– they were the ones that
earned this award,” said
Col. Canterbury. “It was
their consistent hard work,
innovation and determination that has enabled us to
accomplish our mission of
training world class F-35 pilots, maintainers, air battle
managers and intelligence
personnel.”

Fighter Wing commander, with the Jerry Waterman
Award on Eglin Air Force Base, June 10.
This also wasn’t the first

was presented the award
for similar accomplishments while stationed at
MacDill Air Force Base,
Florida, after introducing
the newest single engine
fighter jet of its time, the
F-16 Fighting Falcon.
“I had no idea my father
had won this award,” said
Col. Canterbury. “That was
PROGRAMS IN HIGH-DEMAND FIELDS
an unbelievable surprise.”
Both father and son
have held the honor of introducing the nation’s newest single engine fighter jet
to a Florida base for the Air
Force.
“For me, the Air Force
IS the family business,”
said Col. Canterbury. “Every day I put on this uniform, I do so with pride
knowing I have the opportunity to serve this nation
as well as represent all
of those heroes that have
served before us, including

DoD: Reshape ‘blended retirement’ to better protect AVF
Military leaders and
Department of Defense pay
experts have presented to
Congress a reshaped version of that new “blended
retirement” system for future service members, saying this one “best enables
us to maintain the readiness of the All-Volunteer
Force.”
Their hope is that
Congress will accept the
fresh changes quickly and
integrate them into the
“momentous” retirement
reform package being
shepherded toward enactment this year.
The Pentagon plan embraces most key features of
retirement reform unveiled
in late January by the
Military Compensation and
Retirement Reform Commission and included by the
armed services and appro-
priations
committees
in their fiscal 2016 defense bills.
Those key
features
include:
—A
401(k)-like
Thrift Savings Plan
(TSP) with government
matching of member contributions up to 5 percent of
basic pay;
— An immediate annuity after 20 or more years of
service but reduced by 20
percent compared to current benefits;
— A Continuation Pay
offer at mid-career to entice high-quality service
members to stay longer,
perhaps until the pull of
an immediate annuity at
Tom
Philpott
20 years is near enough it
can’t be ignored.
— Grandfathering of all
current members under
the existing High-3 retirement plan but also allow
them to opt into the new
system if attracted by TSP
with government matching,
full vesting after two years
and account balances that
can be carried into civilian
careers.
The new plan would
take effect Jan. 1, 2018,
time enough to educate
the force including career
counselors and develop
financial training programs
and tools, such as retirement calculators that can
compare plans and total
lifetime benefits under
various assumptions and
circumstances.
The “DoD Blended
Retirement System Pro-
posal” as briefed to military
associations and congressional staffs and described
in a five-page point paper
is touted as being more
carefully considered and
better designed to meet
future recruiting and retention challenges than other
variations.
For example, government matching of TSP
contributions wouldn’t
begin until after four years’
service versus two under
current House and Senate
plans. It seems the services
fear a drop in retention
rates after initial service
obligations are completed
if TSP nest eggs are made
too robust through earlier
matching of contributions.
DoD also rejects saddling future force working-age retirees with
cost-of-living adjustments
set a percentage point below inflation. COLAs need
to match inflation. Two
years ago, during debt-reduction talks, House and
Senate negotiators first
adopted a COLA-minusone formula for military retirees including the current
force. It was signed into law
before a tsunami of protest
hit lawmakers and they realized what they had done.
Congress quickly repealed COLA-minus-one
for the current force let
it apply to future new
entrants. It twice moved
the effective date of that
change so it still has not
strung anyone now serving.
DoD officials now urge
reconsideration and full
COLAs.
They also seek greater
flexibility regarding Continuation Pay. House and
Senate plans adopt the
commission idea of giving a lump sum of cash
to members at 12 years if
they agree to serve four
more. Payments would at
least equal two and a half
months’ basic pay but could
be far greater based on job
specialty, service needs or
other factors.
Even that is too rigid,
DoD says. To ensure that
TSP nest eggs don’t cripple
career force retention, the
services want to be able to
offer that lump sum of cash
anytime from eight to 16
years of service. They also
seek greater flexibility on
size of payments and length
of service obligations required, with the minimum
as low as one year. The
services want lump sum

New commander happy to be back
By COL.
CHRISTOPHER AZZANO
96th Test Wing commander
I wanted to officially say
“hello” and tell you what
a privilege it is to return
here and serve with the
commentary
96th Test Wing. My wife
and I look forward to
meeting you and learning
more about your support
for Team Eglin, the test
enterprise, and the warf-
ighter. The legacy of the
96th TW is well known
throughout the Air Force
and we are honored to be
a part of that history.
My transition schedule is front-loaded with
mission briefs across the
groups and wing staff
agencies, and I will focus
on getting out and meeting as many of you as
I can over the next few
weeks. I will host a commander’s call in the near
future to address my expectations and goals.
In the meantime, keep
doing what you’re doing. Your hard work and
professional approach
to test and installation
support will enable us to
lead AFMC in every measure of excellence. With
today’s fiscal challenges
and a growing array of
threats, our nation’s wellbeing is directly linked
to your success. Please
never forget that.
Thanks for your service, and for making
Eglin AFB a great place
to live and work. We’re
thrilled to be back!

enticements as high as 22
months’ basic pay for active duty members and 11
months’ active duty pay
for reserve component
members.
DoD also rejects the
commission’s idea, popular
in the Senate for the savings it ensures, of allowing
members at retirement to
choose a lump sum of cash
rather draw full annuities
during second careers.
DoD says that’s only a
“smart” choice in “very
limited circumstances” and
the interaction with survivor benefits and disability
retired pay is complex too
complex.
To underscore how important it is that Congress
accepts these changes,
DoD notes that it was first
looked seriously at adopting a blended retirement
plan in 2011 and shared
that idea with commissioners as they began their
work. DoD seeks now to
revise the commission’s
plan after considering
retirement “holistically in
the context of the larger
recruiting, retaining and
retirement continuum” and
also weighing the “need to
retain talent in an increasingly competitive labor
market.”
DoD notes the Joint
Chiefs have been involved
in analyzing details of
retirement systems and
making recommendations
to the defense secretary. So
their views are reflected in
the DoD plan.
Lt. Cmdr. Nate Chris-
tensen, DoD spokesman on
personnel and readiness
issues, said the proposal
would give the department
“the flexibility it needs to
manage our force into the
future while helping ensure
that 85 percent of service
members will start longterm retirement savings.”
If this plan were enacted, the only members
who would leave service
without some portable retirement savings would be
the 15 percent who typically
attrite short of two years.
Meanwhile, the DoD plan
would preserve “a nearly
equivalent or better retirement benefit” for those who
serve 20 or more years.
DoD still would realize “real tangible savings” of $8.1
billion over the first decade
after it takes effect.
DoD would set up a
TSP account for every new
entrant and contribute
an amount equal to one
percent of basic pay. New
entrants automatically
would begin to make TSP
contributions of 3 percent
basic pay. They could not
opt out until completing
financial literacy training at
their first permanent duty
station.
Automatic enrollment
would be into a Roth TSP
rather than a traditional
tax-deferred account. Roth
is viewed as more beneficial to young savers who
pay only modest income
taxes as TSP grows, and
withdrawals from Roth accounts after age 59-and-ahalf are then tax-free.
