Airmen, Sailors team up for joint honor guard
By Maj. 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

to the other five members as well
as carry the American flag. 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.

Veteran’s Day remembrance
By Col. 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.
We also need to remember the
families and loved ones who stand
by our veterans and support them
as they defend our country. Whether
attending a parade, a memorial
service or observing the day in the
comfort of your own home, please
take a moment and reflect upon the
sacrifices our veterans and their
families have made.
My family and I would like to
thank you for your service and for
your contributions in preserving
our freedoms and the American
way of life. We are extremely proud
of all and are continuously amazed
by your hard work, dedication and
professionalism.
Happy Veteran’s Day

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

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.

Dancers take the stage at Intertribal Powwow
By LAUREN SAGE REINLIE
NICEVILLE — Dancers wearing clothes
lined with feathers, beads and tassels
stamped moccasin-clad feet around a grassy
circle Saturday.
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.

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. Anyone can donate
to it.

Friday, November 11, 2011 | THE EGLIN DISPATCH | Page Residents do push ups for Wounded Warrior Project
By ANGEL McCURDY
SHALIMAR — Drop and
give me pennies.
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.

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.”

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

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

brought it to the attention of the
guild.
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

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.

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

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.

Unless at least seven of
12 super committee members agree on a $1.5 billion,
10-year package to attack
the national debt, the
Budget Control Act signed
in August will require automatic federal program
cuts of $1.2 trillion, with
roughly $450 billion from
defense programs.
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.
The group has several activities planned for November.
Nov. 12: 8 a.m. a nine mile hike across the Nokuse section
starting at Hwy 81. Details: 850-862-1903 or 302-528-8284.

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.

jomian, said his recent
visit was an eye-opener.
“This is such an outstanding and heartwarming ser vice being
provided,” he said. “It only
takes one visit to this place
to see the good being done
here.”
Pet Welfare recently
launched a redesigned
website aimed at making
navigation easier for those
wanting to adopt animals,
volunteer or donate to the
non-profit agency.
“Many people call or
come to the shelter asking
if this is the base veterinarian’s office, or if this is
where they report animal
cruelty,” Beebe said. “The
website clearly outlines
who we are and what we
do.”
The site will continuously be updated with
the latest adoptable animal photos, shelter needs
and fundraising event
information.
“When people learn
more about what we do,
through our new website, I
hope their hearts will open
to the possibility of donating, volunteering, or hopefully adopting,” Beebe said.
“Never underestimate the
power of emotion.”

Welfare, pick up a volunteer application or make
