Military Personnel Section:
Tips from Customer Support
Beginning in January at the
Eglin Library!
At Eglin's MPS, we need your help! Recent trends have indicated that
current SGLI beneficiary information is inconsistent with vRED distribution
desires on the part of the deceased member. Part of the reason stems
from a disconnect between vRED and SGLI which require separate
actions by the member. This issue needs to be fixed by each member to
ensure their benefits may be distributed in the desired manner.
Movie Night for
Dorm Residents:
1st Tuesday of the Month
Afternoon
Family Films:
A member's vRED allows them to designate distribution of unpaid pay and
allowances and the death gratuity. SGLI distribution is a separate action
under the auspices of the Department of Veterans Affairs. As such, all
SGLI actions require paper products and are currently handled through
the MPF Customer Service Unit.
All members who have updated their vRED need to double check their
SGLI to ensure it is updated as well. Again, members are confusing these
transactions as one. If anyone needs to update their SGLI, please stop
by the MPS at Bldg 210, Rm 157 for update as soon as possible.

Berlin to the Gulf of Mexico:
POW 5518 Remembers by James Crook
December 7 • 11 a.m. • Eglin Base Library
The Eglin Base Library will kick off its new monthly book club on Pearl Harbor
Remembrance Day, Dec. 7. The book selection is “Berlin to the Gulf of Mexico” by local
area World War II veteran, James Crooke. The memoir by this Army Air Forces aviator
chronicles his trials of being shot down over wartime Germany and his time spent
as a prisoner of war. Interspersed between the chapters of these hardships are Mr.
Crooke’s easier reminisces of growing up in the small town charm of Pensacola and the
American South in the 1930’s. This is a must-read for all local history and WWII buffs. In
honor of Mr. Crooke and the day of remembrance, the Library will display a selection of
current materials that were purchased and part of the Library collection at that time.
Hamlet's BlackBerry by William Powers
January 19 & 26 • 11:30 a.m. • Eglin Base Library
There have been many positive aspects to our technological advances over
the past 10-15 years. The ability to communicate across the world makes it
feel as if you are communicating with them in the next room. Along with the
excitement that these breakthroughs bring, there can also be some downsides.
The downsides often include interpersonal relationships and time with family.
The book, "Hamlet’s BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life
in the Digital Age", takes a look at how we can strike a balance between being
connected to the world and then choosing times to unplug, and being very
deliberate about the interruptions we allow. Please join us in discussing these
topics and bring your ideas of how to negotiate this complex issue. Feel free to
bring your lunch. To register or find out more about the book discussions, call
the Airman & Family Readiness Center at 850-882-9060. To reserve a book,
visit the Eglin Base Library.
