1st SOLRS claims Fuel NCO of the Year 

By Staff Sgt. . 

William Banton 



A 1st Special Operations 

Logistics Readiness 

Squadron fuels craftsman 

received an Air Force level 

award during a ceremony 

at the LRS Fuels Management 

office June 22. 

Tech. Sgt. James Albanesi, 

1st SOLRS Forward 

Aerial Refueling Point program 

manager, received 

the Air Force Fuels NCO of 

the Year award for 2010. 

“For the first time in 

my life, I’m speechless,” 

Albanesi said at the award 

presentation. “I appreciate 

everybody’s help down 

range and the people back 

home making the team and 

family feel well.” 

According to the awards 

package, Sergeant Albanesi 

deployed with the 

U.S. Army as a logistic 

advisor and planned and 

executed 116 joint Iraqi 

Army missions covering 

more than 1,400 miles in 

support of U.S. Forces-Iraq 

operations. 

He led the largest FARP 

team in the Air Force comprised 

of two combat teams 

capable of rapidly refueling 

and rearming aircraft. 

He also supported five 

flying squadrons by training 

23 Airmen on FARP 

operations. 

Last year, he managed 

the Air Force’s only FARP 

training school, teaching 

12 classes and helping 

the combat posture of five 

MAJCOMs. 

“I applaud the hard 

work, dedication, and perseverance 

that has elevated 

you to this prestigious 

level,” wrote Lt. Gen. Loren 

Reno, Logistics, Installations 

and Missions Support 

deputy chief of staff, in a 

congratulatory letter. 

Lt. Col. Steven Gibson, 

1st SOLRS commander, 

elaborated on the general’s 

sentiment. 

“Sergeant Albanesi is a 

rock star,” Colonel Gibson 

said. “He’s that aggressive 

guy that gets it done every 

time. We’re extremely fortunate 

to have him here in 

the Air Force Special Operations 

Command.” 

Albanesi’s leadership 

also commented on the 

importance of FARP operators 

in special operations 

and his place in that 

tradition. 

“The FARP capability 

was born out of a disastrous 

mission in the 

desert, but that’s typical 

of how AFSOC forces operate, 

out of apparent defeat 

we snatch victory and 

say ‘how can we do this 

better?’ ” Col. Curt Van 

De Walle, 1st Special Operations 

Mission Support 

Group commander said. 

“Sergeant Albanesi is a 

testament to this ingenuity; 

he does a phenomenal 

job and is truly the best of 

the best.” 

USAF 

Tech. Sgt. James Albanesi, 1st Special Operations Logistics 

Readiness Squadron, Forward Aerial Refueling Point 

program manager, received the Air Force Fuels NCO of 

the Year award for 2010 from Col. Curt Van De Walle, 1st 

Special Operations Mission Support Group commander, 

at Hurlburt Field, June 22.

Michael Phelps Foundation im Program expands to Hurlburt 

By Michael Phelps . 

Foundation 

Portland, ME – The 

Michael Phelps Foundation 

announced the expansion 

of its signature im program 

through Boys & Girls Clubs 

of America, making it available 

to 16 Clubs across 14 

states this summer. The im 

program was developed 

in partnership with KidsHealth.org 

and the Michael 

Phelps Swim School and 

offers water safety lessons, 

recreational aquatic activities, 

and health, wellness 

and goal-setting instruction. 

The program is based on 

the same basic techniques 

and principles that Michael 

Phelps has implemented 

throughout his swimming 

career. 

The Michael Phelps 

Foundation developed the 

program to promote the 

sport of swimming and encourage 

a healthy, active 

lifestyle, especially among 

children. Designed in 2009 

and launched as a national 

pilot program in 2010, the im 

program – named in recognition 

of Phelps’ signature 

event, the Individual Medley, 

and as an abbreviation to the 

self-affirming “I am” – consists 

of five separate areas of 

focus, or im “bubbles”: imafe, 

water safety instruction; 

imfun, recreational aquatic 

activities; imfast, structured 

& organized swimming; imhealthy, 

health and wellness; 

and imsuccessful, goal-setting 

education. Participants 

earn medals as they advance 

through the curriculum with 

the opportunity to earn eight 

medals upon completion of 

the entire program. 

“I was first introduced 

to the sport of swimming 

through water safety,” said 

Phelps, a 16-time Olympic 

medalist and Founder of the 

Michael Phelps Foundation. 

“I hated to get my face wet 

so I began to learn how to 

swim on my back, but with 

proper instruction, I learned 

to be comfortable and confidant 

in the water and my 

passion for swimming grew 

with each visit to the pool. 

N ow, with the support of 

the Boys & Girls Clubs and 

KidsHealth.org, we are able 

to offer children a program 

that will help them become 

water safe, teach them to set 

and achieve goals, and live 

healthier, active lifestyles.” 

According to the Centers 

for Disease Control and 

Courtesy photo 

Angie Newmoyer (left) and Kathy Moore are pictured 

with Michael Phelps during program training in Baltimore. 

Prevention, drowning is the 

second leading cause of accidental 

death for children 

under the age of 15 and is the 

leading cause of accidental 

death for children ages 1 to 

4. A study released earlier 

last week by Pediatrics, the 

official Journal of the American 

Academy of Pediatrics, 

revealed that one child dies 

every five days from portable 

pool submersions during 

warm weather months. 

The im pilot program, 

has proven to be an effective 

initiative to teach children 

how to swim and educate 

them on living an active and 

healthy lifestyle. 

Following the success of 

the national pilot program, 

the Michael Phelps Foundation, 

in cooperation with 

the Boys & Girls Clubs of 

America, has expanded the 

im program offering to an 

additional 10 Boys & Girls 

Clubs, bringing the program 

to a total of 16 Clubs across 14 

states. The new Clubs, who 

will launch the program this 

summer at no cost to members, 

were selected following 

anational grant application 

process that considered 

overall interest and need for 

the program in their respective 

communities. Hurlburt 

Field made the cut to host 

the program. 

In addition to developing 

the im program, the Michael 

Phelps Foundation provides 

each Club with financial 

support to assist with overall 

program costs including 

staffing, training, supplies 

and equipment, pool access 

and maintenance, and administrative 

expenses as 

well as official posters, medals, 

member handbook and 

assorted prizes.

Everything you’ve always wanted to know about hurricanes but were afraid to ask: 

By Tech. Sgt. . 

Kristina Newton 



A hurricane is 48 hours 

from making landfall and it’s 

projected to bring winds in 

excess of 115 mph. This is 

now a category three hurricane. 

You are given the 

order to evacuate but what 

does that mean? 

Many will wonder how far 

they can travel and in what 

direction? And how are they 

supposed to pay for what 

may turn out to be a twoweek, 

unplanned vacation? 

It turns out the base has that 

all covered. 

When a hurricane reaches 

a certain strength, the installation 

commander makes 

a decision on whether or not 

people should evacuate; this 

decision will be released in 

the form of an evacuation 

order. 

“Basically, the evacuation 

order instructs all base personnel 

as to when they are 

authorized to evacuate,” said 

Capt. Christopher Dykstra, 


Judge Advocate chief of general 

law. “In addition, it gives 

as much information as possible 

to when the hurricane 

will make landfall, gives instructions 

for where personnel 

can evacuate and lastly, 

how they will be compensated 

for the evacuation.” 

The evacuation order will 

be distributed through the 

Unit Control Centers and 

posted on the official Hurlburt 

Field website. 

Dykstra also points 

out that entitlements will 

not start until the evacuation 

order is given and 

implemented. 

“So for example, if your 

family wanted to evacuate 

before the implementation 

of the order, they would not 

receive per diem until the 

Evacuation 

effective date listed on the 

order,” he said. 

The system for acquiring 

that money is also fairly 

simple. 

“Personnel who have 

been issued the new controlled 

spend account card 

will receive an automatic 

load onto their cards, the 

amount of which will be 

published in the evacuation 

order,” said Senior Airman 

Joseph Forcucci, 1st Special 

Operations Comptroller 

Squadron financial management 

flight. “All others are 

authorized to use their government 

travel cards.” 

Forcucci explained that 

active-duty personnel and 

their dependents that don’t 

have access to a CSA or GTC 

can apply for a cash advance 

through their commander or 

first sergeant. He also cautioned 

that expenses over 

the allowed per diem rate 

will not be reimbursed. 

“If the entitlement is 

$75 per day and you choose 

to stay in a $120 hotel, that 

extra $45 is coming out of 

your pocket,” Forcucci said. 

“Although, if you have two 

covered people, for example 

the member and their 

spouse, they could spend up 

to $150.” 

Remember, not all evacuations 

are the same. Here is 

a small breakdown of what 

the evacuation status means 

for service members and 

their dependents. 

Voluntary Evacuation 

• Non-mission essential 

personnel will be released 

from duty 

• Civilians may take liberal 

leave 

• Will not receive any 

reimbursement 

Recommended Evacuation

personnel will remain 

on duty at the evacuation 

location 

• Civilians will be placed 

on administrative leave 

(non-chargeable) 

• Mileage, lodging and 

meals will be reimbursed. 

The active-duty member 

and all dependents 12 years 

of age or older will receive 

the full per diem rate, to 

include lodging and meals, 

while children under 12 will 

receive half of that. Members 

are encouraged to keep 

all receipts to ensure they 

are reimbursed for covered 

costs. 

When the crisis has 

passed, the installation commander 

will terminate the 

evacuation, and all members 

will be notified by their units

By Senior Airman . 

Joe McFadden 



You’re diligently working 

at your shop, doing all that 

you can to help the Air Force 

mission. Yet as you’re trying 

to concentrate on an important 

assignment, you’re 

constantly distracted by the 

obnoxious guitar-shredding 

tunes coming from a nearby 

radio. 

You politely ask the owner 

to turn it down, but instead 

he cranks the volume up. You 

wonder about telling your 

supervisor, but the person 

in question not only happens 

to outrank you, he is your 

supervisor. So what do you 

do? Go to your commander 

or first sergeant? Seek legal 

action? Or just deal with it? 

Fortunately, there’s another 

method available for 

you and other Airmen in 

your situation who may have 

initial reservations about 

doing so. The 1st Special 

Operations Wing Equal Opportunity 

office uses the Alternative 

Dispute Resolution 

program as another means 

of resolving disputes without 

resorting to a lengthy and 

often expensive, formal complaint 

process. 

“Many people go through 

conflict at work and don’t 

know how to address it,” 

said Master Sgt. Christopher 

Moore, 1st Special 

Operations Wing Equal Opportunity 

Director and ADR 

program manager. “It doesn’t 

make for a good working environment. 

ADR is an option 

people have to help address 

it and find a solution.” 

ADR is a confidential, 

voluntary process where a 

person with a complaint can 

seek facilitative mediation. 

ADR: It’s a Win-Win 

Airman 1st Class Hayden K. Hyatt | USAF 

Airman 1st Class Leon Charles, 1st Special Operations Force 

Support Squadron Installation Personnel Readiness journeyman, 

right, makes a point to Noel Corkern, 1st SOFSS civilian 

personnel, left, and Nancy Adams, Hurlburt Field Child Development 

Center director, center, during a simulated Alternative 

Dispute Resolution meeting at Hurlburt Field, June 21. 

During the ADR process, 

a trained neutral mediator 

engages the involved parties 

in an open and candid 

discussion designed to highlight 

common interests and 

reach solutions. They may 

withdraw their grievance at 

any time and/or file an EO 

compliant. 

Moore emphasized that 

proper communication and 

professionalism could help 

mitigate problems before being 

taken to a higher link in 

the chain of command. But 

he also advised that cases 

involving sexual harassment 

and racial discrimination 

may be better suited 

through EO’s formal complaint 

process. 

“Zero-tolerance means 

just that,” he said. “One incident 

won’t be tolerated. 

But if it’s about conflicting 

personalities, that’s a perfect 

case for ADR. We’ll then sit 

that person down along with 

the other person involved 

and ask them how they can 

resolve those differences.” 

A brochure about ADR 

states that there are many 

key advantages to using the 

program as opposed to using 

a formal complaint process. 

The benefits include giving 

the parties more control in 

creating a mutual satisfactory 

outcome and providing 

flexibility for them to speak 

to “non-legal” issues like 

personality conflicts and 

communication problems. 

“A lot of concerns can 

be resolved or at least addressed 

if you have good 

communication,” Moore 

said. “And as long as you’re 

professional with your statements 

and exhibiting the Air 

Force core values, how could 

you get in trouble?” 

Since its implementation, 

ADR has helped save the Air 

ONLINE

NOW AVAILABLE 

Force paperwork, money and 

manpower spent in resolving 

formal complaints. Whereas 

a formal EO complaint takes 

an average of 405 days to 

process from start to finish, 

informal complaints through 

ADR average 42 days. 

ADR not only improves 

on time and costs but the 

attitudes of the people who 

use them. According to a 

2009 customer satisfaction 

survey, more than 91 percent 

of parties involved had a satisfied 

or very satisfied view 

of the process. In fact, the 

1st SOW/EO’s ADR booklet 

advertises the program as a 

“win/win” solution for everyone 

involved. 

With results like this and 

the opportunity to find a successful 

resolution, Moore 

said he hopes more people 

will utilize the program to 

make their surroundings a 

more productive and enjoyable 

place to work. 

“If you’re having a dispute 

with a neighbor or coworker 

for whatever reason 

and don’t feel comfortable 

using your unit to resolve 

this, we’re here for you,” 

Moore said. “If you don’t 

want to seek it, that’s fine. 

But we’re always going to 

offer it to you.”

As always, some key 

things to remember about 

this hurricane season are 

to have a plan, have a kit 

and continue to monitor 

the weather so there are no

the single-day or weekly 

limits. Nine percent of 

adults are at highest-risk 

because they drink more 

than both the single-day 

and weekly limits. 

A “standard” drink contains 

about 0.6 fluid ounces 

or 14 grams of "pure" alcohol; 

i.e. 12 oz of regular 

beer; 8 oz of malt liquor; 5 

oz of table wine; 1.5 oz shot 

of 80-proof spirits. 

Small changes can 

make a significant difference 

in reducing your 

chances of experiencing 

alcohol-related problems. 

The following are some 

cutting-down strategies 

which are recommended 

by NIH. 

• Keep track of how 

much you drink. Making 

note of each drink before 

you consume it may 

help you slow down when 

needed. 

• Set goals. Decide 

how many days a week 

you want to drink and how 

many drinks you’ll have 

on those days. It’s a good 

idea to have some days 

when you don’t drink. 

• Pace and space. When 

you do drink, pace yourself. 

Sip slowly. Have no 

more than one standard 

drink per hour. Make every 

other drink a non-alcoholic 

one. 

• Include food. Don’t 

drink on an empty stomach. 

Have some food so 

the alcohol will be absorbed 

into your system 

more slowly. 

• Find alternatives. If 

drinking has occupied a 

lot of your time, then fill 

free time by developing 

new, healthy activities, 

hobbies and relationships 

or renewing ones you’ve 

missed. 

• Avoid “triggers.” 

What triggers your urge 

to drink? If certain people 

or places make you drink 

even when you don’t want 

to, try to avoid them. If 

certain activities, times of 

day, or feelings trigger the 

urge, plan something else 

to do instead of drinking. 

If drinking at home is a 

problem, keep little or no 

alcohol there. 

• Plan to handle urges. 

When you cannot avoid a 

trigger and an urge hits, 

consider these options: 

Remind yourself of your 

reasons for changing. 

Talk things through with 

someone you trust. Get 

involved with a healthy, 

distracting activity, such 

as physical exercise or a 

hobby that doesn’t involve 

drinking. 

• Know your “no.” 

You’re likely to be offered 

a drink at times when 

you don’t want one. Have 

a polite, convincing “no 

thanks” ready. The faster 

you can say no to these offers, 

the less likely you are 

to give in. If you hesitate, 

it allows you time to think 

of excuses to go along. 

If you don’t make progress 

after two to three 

months, consider quitting 

drinking, seeking professional 

assistance, or 

both. 

If you think you may be 

dependent on alcohol and 

you want to completely 

stop drinking, don’t go at it 

alone. Sudden withdrawal 

from heavy drinking can 

be life threatening. Seek 

medical help to plan a safe 

evaluation, treatment and 

recovery.

Fiel assumes command of AFSOC 

He takes over for retiring Lt. Gen. Donald Wurster 

By ANGEL McCURDY 

Florida Freedom Newspapers 

Lt. Gen. Eric Fiel took over 

leadership of the Air Force Special 

Operations Command on 

Friday with the passing of the 

guidon. 

Squadrons, family members 

and other military personnel 

stood clapping in the Freedom 

Hangar as Lt. Gen. Donald 

Wurster retired as commander 

and handed the reins to Fiel. 

“Lt. Gen. Wurster has been a 

brilliant and strong leader,” said 

Adm. Eric Olson, commander 

of the U.S. Special Operations 

Command. “He led by always 

putting people first in the air and 

on the ground. Today is more 

than a transfer of authority. We 

say goodbye to a great leader 

and friend. 

“Gen. Fiel will now bring 

his own vision,” Olson added. 

“There will be challenges, but 

I’ve seen him face challenges 

before and overcome many obstacles. 

In the transition from

one commander to another, I 

know (AFSOC) will continue to 

excel.” 

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. 

Norton Schwartz presided over 

the ceremony. As he stood at 

the podium, he looked down at 

lines of squadrons standing at 

attention. 

“This is a great time to be 

amongst the Special Operations 

Squadron,” Schwartz said. “Gen. 

Wurster will now get to enjoy 

fishing, hunting and life after 

command service. This is a new 

and tremendous chapter for you. 

“Gen. Fiel, this is a very 

significant moment in every 

respect,” Schwartz told the new 

commander. “You have big shoes 

to fill … I look forward to working 

with you and improving each 

of the command stations.” 

Wurster relinquished his duties 

to a standing ovation. He 

took command of AFSOC in November 

2007. He began his Air 

Force career in 1973. 

“We joined to support the 

mission,” Wurster said. “The 

mission comes first. The mission 

is the only reason we exist. 

“Continue to protect and sustain 

this country and the mission 

will be our beacon,” he said as 

he finished his speech. 

Fiel comes to Hurlburt after 

serving as vice commander 

at the U.S. Special Operations 

Command in Washington, D.C. 

He began his career in 1981 and 

has commanded a variety of staff 

positions at major command, 

unified command, Air Staff and 

Secretary of the Air Force levels. 

“AFSOC is changing and it 

will continue to change,” Fiel 

said. “With the challenges our 

nation is facing we will continue 

to focus on who we are and what 

it means to be Special Forces. 

“We will continue to strengthen 

the bond of who we are and 

who we support,” he said in 

closing. “We will continue to uphold 

high standards. Whatever 

challenges we are faced with we 

will address them and we will 

continue to remember our duty 

is the mission.”


Summer Safety in the Sunshine State: 

Beat the heat with proper hydration 

By Senior Airman . 

Joe McFadden 



June 21 officially marked the 

first day of summer, but many Air 

Commandos and their families 

have already been marking the 

season with frequent visits to the 

beach, celebratory back-porch 

barbecues and outdoor sports 

under the sun. 

But along with an increase 

of activity outside, the temperatures 

in Florida over the last few 

months have also been climbing. 

And an unfortunate factor that 

accompanies the mercury rising 

is the number of reported dehydration 

cases. 

In fact, the Centers for Disease 

Control reported that more 

than 300 Americans die each 

year from heat-related illnesses. 

Sadly, most of these deaths could 

have been prevented with an 

extra emphasis on adequate 

hydration. 

“The average temperatures 

in this part of Florida from April 

to September ranged between 

70 and 90 degrees,” said Staff 

Sgt. Michael Price, 1st Special 

Operations Aerospace Medicine 

Squadron NCO in charge of medical 

standards. “In this constant 

heat, you can become dehydrated 

by just sitting around.” 

Warning signs of dehydration 

may include fatigue, nausea, 

muscle cramps, headaches and 

dizziness. The person’s skin may 

turn a pale color, or they may 

even faint. Even worse, dehydration 

may lead to a heat stroke, 

a severe condition marked by 

extreme body temperature, high 

pulse, disorientation, seizures 

and unconsciousness. 

Price said there are key 

warning signs you can follow to 

know when your body is becoming 

dehydrated. 

“Sweating is your body’s 

means of cooling itself down and 

Staff Sgt. Julianne M. Showalter | USAF 

Members of the 823rd RED HORSE Squadron run during physical training, Hurlburt Field, June 13. The 

823rd RHS set up a water station at the end of the running course to encourage proper hydration and reduce 

the likelihood of heat-related injuries. 

the first sign that people need to 

start hydrating more,” he said. 

“And if you’re thirsty, that’s also 

another key that you’re becoming 

dehydrated.” 

Price said that drinking plenty 

of water throughout the day is 

the best way to ensure your body 

is getting adequate hydration. 

He also said that as big as Hurlburt 

Field is on physical training, 

Air Commandos need to focus 

on hydration before, during and 

after their workout. 

“Drink about 15 to 20 fluid 

ounces before your workout 

and eight to 10 fluid ounces 

during your workout,” he said. 

“This also includes outdoor activities, 

not just PT, like working 

outside.” 

The color of your urine can 

also serve as a determinant of 

your hydration level. A very light 

shade of yellow is normal, but 

a darker shade or even brown 

hue can indicate you need water 

soon. 

Another factor that can help 

determine guidelines for hydration 

is the current flag conditions 

administered by the base command 

post and pop-ups on base 

computers. 

White flag 

78 to 81.9 degrees 

Easy work: No work-and-rest 

limits; water intake should be

Moderate work: No work-andrest

While you may be able to 

detect warning signs of potential 

dehydration in your body, 

Sergeant Price said it’s important 

to look after your wingmen 

especially when working outside 

together. 

“You should always use the 

buddy system and make sure 

people drink plenty of water prior 

to an activity,” he said. “If they 

show signs of heat exhaustion, 

stop your workout and, if you’re 

outside, get them out of the sunlight. 

Give them a sports drink 

and replenish them with water.” 

Price said once the victim is 

out of the sunlight, you should 

lay them on their back with their 

legs raised. If you suspect a heat 

stroke, don’t waste time, immediately 

call for medical help.

hydration safety or useful tips,

and Wellness Center at 884-4292.

New TRICARE fees, end to combat pay ‘windfall’ voted 

Tom 

Philpott 

The Senate Armed 

Services Committee has 

agreed with House colleagues 

to approve a small 

increase in TRICARE 

Prime enrollment fees 

for working-age retirees, 

and to allow those fees to 

be raised annually by the 

cost-of-living adjustment 

(COLA) applied to military 

retired pay. 

The vote ensures that 

TRICARE Prime enrollment 

fees for individual 

retirees under age 65 will 

be raised in the new fiscal 

year by $30 to $260 and 

that retiree family coverage 

will climb by $60 to 

$520 annually. These will 

be the first fee increases 

since TRICARE rates 

were set in 1995. 

The Senate panel also 

joined with the House 

to endorse an Obama 

administration plan to restructure 

TRICARE 

pharmacy 

co-payments 

to 

encourage 

use of 

mail order 

for refills 

instead 

of having 

local drugstores, 

at far greater cost 

to the government, refill 

prescriptions for chronic 

conditions. 

Through TRICARE 

“home delivery,” patients 

get a 90-day supply of 

pills versus a 30-day supply 

from retail outlets. 

Defense officials intend 

to make mail order more 

attractive by ending a $3 

charge for generic drugs 

and raising the co-pay for 

generic medicines at retail 

outlets to $5, up from $3. 

Co-pays for brand 

name drugs on the military 

formulary would stay 

at $9 by mail but climb to 

$12 at retail pharmacies. 

For non-formulary brand 

drugs, the $22 co-pay 

would climb to $25 for mail 

order and retail. The new 

co-pays are projected to 

save $2.6 billion over five 

years, or five times the 

savings projected from 

higher TRICARE Prime 

fees on working age 

retirees. 

The Senate committee 

also voted with the House 

to support a 1.6 percent 

military pay increase next 

January, enough to ensure 

that pay keeps pace 

with private sector wage 

growth. 

But the Senate committee 

parted ways with the 

House version of the fiscal 

2012 defense authorization 

bill on a number of other 

personnel issues. Here’s 

a rundown of some key 

differences that will have 

to be reconciled before 

Congress can pass a final 

defense authorization bill 

later this year: 

Combat Pay Windfall 

— Only the Senate bill 

would require the services 

to begin to prorate monthly 

imminent danger pay 

and hostile fire pay of $225 

a month based on number 

of days in designated danger 

areas. Under current 

law, spending only part 

of a day in a war zone or 

imminent danger area 

makes a member eligible 

for the full $225 payment. 

Amid the looming debt 

crisis, and congressional 

leaders searching for ways 

to lower federal spending, 

senators decided to address 

perceived combat 

pay windfalls to save $30 

million a year. The main 

targets are persons on 

temporary assignments. 

Flight crews, for example, 

can spend only hours in 

Afghanistan and get a full 

month of danger pay. 

The committee also received 

reports of military 

personnel attending firstof-the-month 

change of 

command ceremonies in 

war zones and, by arriving 

a day early and departing 

immediately after the ceremony, 

qualifying for two 

months of danger pay. 

Members on full deployments 

also would be 

affected by the change. 

Currently, if a member 

on a yearlong, wartime 

deployment arrives midmonth 

and, a year later, 

departs mid-month, he or 

she qualifies for a total of 

13 months of danger pay. 

If the prorated formula becomes 

law, total payments 

would reflect the actual 

length of deployment, ending 

the extra month of 

danger pay so many members 

now receive. 

Special Survivor 

Indemnity Allowance — 

The Senate bill is silent on 

a House-passed provision 

that would ease further a 

reduction in Survivor Benefit 

Plan payments felt by 

57,000 surviving military 

spouses. 

Spouses of those survivors 

either have died on 

active duty or, in retirement 

from a service-connected 

injury or ailment. 

As a result, they qualify 

for tax-free Dependency 

and Indemnity Compensation 

(DIC) from VA. But 

to accept DIC they must 

See tricare page 11

tricare From page 10 

forfeit an equal amount of 

taxable SBP. 

To ease this so-called 

“widow’s tax,” Congress 

four years ago authorized 

a Special Survivor Indemnity 

Allowance (SSIA) 

valued now at $70 a month 

and rising by $10 a year 

until it hits $100 by 2014. 

The House version of this 

year’s defense bill would 

raise SSIA higher and 

extend its life so that by 

fiscal 2017 payments would 

reach $314 a month. 

The House was able to 

pay for this $150 million 

SSIA initiative in part by 

accepting the administration’s 

plan to curb costs 

linked to the Uniformed 

Services Family Health 

Plan, a managed care plan 

for military beneficiaries 

living in six areas of the 

U.S. near former Public 

Health Service hospitals. 

The Senate bill also 

would curb costs under 

USFHP, as we describe 

below. But rather than 

use the dollars saved to 

expand SSIA, senators 

choose to beef up incentives 

available to downsize 

the force. 

Force Shaping Tools 

— The Senate bill would 

give the services three 

new or extended authorities 

to downsize forces. 

One new tool would be 

a “voluntary retirement 

payment” which could be 

offered to certain officers 

with between 20 and 29 

years of service if they 

agree to retire. The payment 

could equal up to 12 

times an officer’s monthly 

basic pay. This could be 

used as an alternative to 

an early retirement board. 

The Senate bill also 

would extend the Voluntary 

Separation Incentive 

(VSI) authority that was 

set to expire. VIS is an 

annuity used extensively 

during the Post-Cold War 

drawdown to entice members 

to leave service. 

A third initiative would 

expand from three months 

to a full year the period of 

service prior to expiration 

of an enlistment contract 

that a member could be 

discharged without a loss 

of benefits such as the GI 

Bill. The change would 

apply only to benefits, not 

pay or allowances. 

USFHP and Medicare 

— Both the Senate and 

House would require individuals 

newly enrolled in 

the Uniformed Services 

Family Health Plan to 

transition to TRICARE for 

Life as they become Medicare 

eligible due to age. 

But only the Senate bill 

praises the USFHP model 

and directs Defense officials 

to work with USFHP 

and Medicare to develop 

and evaluate health plan 

alternatives for TRICARE 

for Life beneficiaries so 

they can get integrated 

health care management 

like that being delivered to 

elderly through USFHP.
