“Tip of the Spear” is a 

monthly spotlight designed to 

recognize outstanding Airmen 

for the work they do every day at 

Hurlburt Field. Airman 1st Class 

Ashley Taylor, 1st Special Operations 

Component Maintenance 

Squadron mission systems journeyman, 

was selected for this 

month’s spotlight. 

Name: Airman 1st Class Ashley 

Taylor 

Unit: 1st Special Operations 

Component Maintenance 

Squadron 

Duty Title: Mission systems 

journeyman 

Hometown: Oak Lawn, Ill. 

Date Entered the Air Force: 

Nov. 17, 2009 

Hobbies: Bass guitar and 

roller derby 

Why did you join the Air Force? 

College wasn’t a good fit, and 

I wanted a job I could be proud 

of. 

How does your Air Force . 

specialty contribute to the 

mission? 

We repair radar systems so 

pilots are able to do their job. 

If you were Chief Master . 

Sgt. of the Air Force for one day, 

how would you change the Air 

Force? 

Try to better prepare Airmen-in-Training 

for when they 

become operational. 

What’s your favorite thing 

about Hurlburt Field? 

The people here are great, 

and, coming from the North, it’s 

nice to have warm weather all 

the time. 

What do you like most about 

being an Airman? 

I like knowing that I’m responsible 

for all my actions and 

all the work that I do. If you 

skate by doing the bare minimum, 

people notice. If you work 

hard and do the right thing, that 

will get noticed, too. 

What’s one thing you wish you 

were told before joining the Air 

Force? 

Basic Military Training isn’t 

hard, but trying to work well 

with so many girls will frustrate 

you to no end. 

What motivates you at work? 

Our shop has good leaders, 

and people have good attitudes. 

I want them to feel that I’m reliable 

and a hard worker. 

Who are your heroes/role 

models? 

My older brother is a U.S. 

tip of the spear 

Airman 1st Class Ashley Taylor 

Marine, and he inspires me to 

work to the best of my ability 

every day and make the right 

decisions in my life. 

Advice to others? 

Have a good attitude when 

you walk in to work. No one likes 

someone who’s in a lousy mood 

all the time. 

Why was she selected? 

“Airman Taylor is an outstanding 

part of the 1st SOCMS 

team and mission. She excels 

at everything she does and was 

recently selected as our squadron’s 

Airman of the Quarter. 

Prior to her arrival at Hurlburt 

Field, she served as an element 

leader in BMT overseeing 49 

recruits in her flight. She currently 

manages the electrostatic 

discharge program in the Avionics 

Flight ensuring the proper 

handling of vital electronics. 

During our recent Logistics 

Compliance Assessment Program 

inspection, her areas were 

rated “Outstanding.” Outside of 

her Air Force duties, she helped 

raise $1,400 for breast cancer 

awareness and volunteers at 

the local Boys and Girls Club 

remodeling their facilities. 

Whether it’s repairing a milliondollar 

antenna or raising money 

for charity, Airman Taylor is 

truly a phenomenal Airman and 

is perfectly suited to be spotlighted 

as Hurlburt Field’s Tip of 

the Spear.”

Editor’s note: This is 

part five in a five-part series on 

hurricane preparedness. 

After the storm has 

passed and the all-clear 

has been given, the 

Emergency Family Assistance 

Control Center 

will be there to ease your 

transition. 

The EFACC is used 

as a staging area for the 

Hurlburt community 

when a natural disaster 

or man-made incident occurs. 

When an EFACC is 

activated, service members 

and their dependents 

can obtain disaster 

relief, contingency information 

and services all in 

one place. 

“An EFACC brings 

different family services 

together so people aren’t 

running around the base 

trying to get help from 

different agencies,” said 

Kelly Childs, Airman & 

Family Readiness Center 

community readiness 

specialist. “This way everything 

is all together.” 

The A&FRC acts as 

the primary source of information, 

referral advice 

and crisis assistance, 

which is similar to what 

they do on a day-to-day 

basis. They are responsible 

for setting up the 

EFACC when the installation 

commander calls 

for it and maintaining it 

once it’s established. 

Some of the different 

agencies Hurlburt members 

can expect to see at 

the EFACC are Legal, Finance, 

military and civilian 

personnel office, the 

Red Cross, Public Affairs, 

the Chapel and Mental 

Health. 

Childs says other 

agencies like the housing 

and lodging offices can be 

there but it depends on 

the situation and people’s 

needs. 

The expected location 

of the EFACC will be at 

the A&FRC. However, if 

another location is determined 

due to base conditions, 

personnel and their 

families will be directed 

to the new location by all 

media outlets available. 

Not all hurricane 

situations will call for an 

EFACC to be stood-up, 

it will only happen when 

the base completely 

evacuates. 

In situations where 

the base has an emergency 

but does not evacuate, 

the A&FRC has some tips 

Hurlburt members can 

follow to help themselves 

through. 

• Develop a family plan 

- know where you and 

your family are going to 

head when the evacuation 

order is given. 

• Create a disaster 

supply kit - know what 

supplies you need and 

make a kit before it’s too 

late. 

• Secure your home 

- put your valuables high 

off the ground, think 

about getting home or 

renter’s insurance and 

take pictures of your 

belongings before you 

evacuate the area. 

• Have a pet plan 

- think about what hotels 

are pet-friendly 

along your route to your 

safe haven and plan 

accordingly. 

No matter what the 

emergency, the staff at 

the A&FRC would like 

the Hurlburt community 

to know that there will be 

help. 

“We’re always going 

to be here to provide 

Hurlburt Airmen and

their families the support 

they need, whether 

the EFACC is stood up or 

not,” said Childs. “So, if 

someone has a problem 

at any time, they can 

come to us, and if we’re 

not the right agency, then 

we will connect them to 

the right one.”

Hurlburt Field’s electricity 

is precious; helping conserve 

it can guarantee these 

luxuries stay in place. 

“Energy conservation 

is a vital element of our national 

strategy to reduce dependence 

on non-renewable 

energy sources,” expressed 

Col. Michael Plehn, former 


commander, in the new Facility 

Energy Management 

Policy. “Individually we each 

can do things to save a small 

amount of energy, which collectively 

will add up to a large 

improvement.” 

The policy contains new 

implementation actions 

that will take effect near 

the end of July. The mandatory 

actions will help ensure 

Hurlburt Field’s population 

conserves energy and aids 

the wing in meeting its legislated 

energy intensity reduction 

goals. 

7861326 

A certain amount of electricity 

is allotted for Hurlburt 

Field’s daily activities, and 

according to recent numbers, 

Hurlburt is coming 

close to exceeding the maximum 

amount. 

In addition to the energy 

intensity goals, Hurlburt has 

an aging electrical infrastructure. 

A new substation is one 

of the projects designed to 

modernize this infrastructure. 

The existing substation 

is nearing capacity. 

“Hurlburt Field is operating 

at a critical threshold for 

the one operational substation 

that we have on base,” 

said Marc Barrett, 1st Special 

Operations Civil Engineer 

Squadron Resource 

Efficiency Manager. “Significant 

infrastructure growth 

on base combined with the 

high temperatures anticipated 

through the summer will 

drive [the heating ventilation 

and air conditioning] system 

energy demands that could 

bring our base substation to 

a point of failure. Everyone 

should avoid unnecessary 

energy demands placed on 

the power grid to minimize 

the potential for a power 

failure.” 

Fortunately, there are actions 

Hurlburt Airmen can 

take now to help reduce the 

amount of energy they use 

and keep the base from complete 

grid failure. 

There are several ways 

a unit or individual can save 

energy either at work or at 

home. 

• Set your thermostat 

at 76 degrees Fahrenheit or 

higher. 

• Keep windows and 

doors shut. 

• Close blinds to reflect 

solar heat. 

• Turn off lights and unplug 

equipment when not in 

use. 

• Unplug coffee pots and 

chilled water coolers after 11 

a.m. each day. 

•Consolidate refrigerators 

and turn in empty units. 

• Unplug TVs that don’t 

directly support an ongoing 

operation. 

• Turn off computers and 

peripherals at unoccupied 

work stations. 

“Remember, even a little 

bit goes a long way,” said 

Christopher Hood, Hurlburt 

Field energy manager. 

“Leaving just a bathroom 

light on by mistake all night 

hurts the base, which can 

and will affect the entire 

community if not stopped.” 

For a copy of the Facility 

Energy Management Policy 

Letter, or more information 

on ways your unit can save 

energy, contact your unit 

facility manager or the 1st 

SOCES at 850-884-6683.


Information, Tickets and Travel! Oh my! 

By Nechel Newton 



With the summer season 

in full swing and your 

dream vacation lurking in 

every corner, the Hurlburt 

Field Information, Tickets 

and Travel is here to make 

your wish upon a star come 

true. 

The ITT office’s purpose 

is to bring Airmen and their 

families fun and entertainment 

through locally-sponsored 

events and discounted 

vacation packages. 

The ITT office, staffed 

with full-time travel agents 

and online services, offers 

discounted packages for college 

and professional sports, 

cruises, airline tickets, vacation 

packages, bus tours and 

hotel accommodations. 

“We greet everyone 

who comes in, and because 

they’re military and busy, we 

get them in and out as fast 

as possible,” said Brenda 

Lopez, ITT travel agent. “We 

are timely and diligent.” 

The benefit of business 

done in-person at the office 

is the opportunity to receive 

a money back guarantee 

for travel mishaps and 

inconveniences. 

The ITT office is also 

heavily involved with the 

base community. Last year, 

they hosted a “Harry Potter 

day,” in celebration of the 

opening of the Harry Potter 

theme park at Universal 

Studios in Orlando. 

They recently held 

a “Splash in the Summer” 

which had donated 

boat rides, inflated slides 

and free giveaways from local 

vendors. 

The ITT office also hosts 

a yearly travel show with 

60 to 100 vendors and more 

than 600 military personnel 

from Northwest Florida in 

attendance. These shows 

are usually hosted within the 

first week of March and are 

used to inform people of vacation 

deals, ticket discounts 

and attraction benefits. 

Summer is ITT’s most 

popular season with kids out 

of school and attractions at 

locations like Disney World 

and Universal Studios. However, 

fall can be just as popular 

with the frenzy of football 

game tours in play, such as 

trips to see the Atlanta Falcons, 

New Orleans Saints, 

Florida State Seminoles and 

more.

LACKLAND AIR FORCE 

BASE, Texas (AFNS) — 

Members of the Joint Base 

San Antonio security forces 

community began the kickoff 

leg of a 2,181-mile ruck 

march here July 12. 

Participants from installations 

across the nation will 

continue the daily “Ruck 

March to Remember,” 

which is scheduled to end 

Sept. 11 at Ground Zero in 

New York, on the 10th anniversary 

of the 9/11 terrorist 

attacks. 

“The march honors security 

forces and service 

members who have fallen 

supporting operations in 

Iraq and Afghanistan,” said 

Tech. Sgt. Mark Latimer, 

the JB San Antonio team organizer 

from the Air Force 

Security Forces Center. 

About 20 members from 

JB San Antonio units originally 

agreed to participate

in the march. 

But the word spread 

quickly, Latimer said, and 

“more Airmen have joined 

the walk.” 

Each JB San Antonio 

team member has volunteered 

off-duty time to participate, 

and any expenses 

have been paid for by the 

Airmen, he said. 

The JB San Antonio portion 

of the journey culminates 

July 16 in La Grange, 

Texas, about 148 miles from 

here. Airmen from Barksdale 

Air Force Base, La., are 

scheduled to take possession 

of the guidon from the 

JB San Antonio contingent 

on that day. 

With Airmen carrying 50- 

lb. ruck sacks, and marching 

in temperatures near 100 

degrees with high humidity, 

organizers took precautions 

by calling for rotating shifts 

and a 15-minute mile pace.

“The marchers will be 

well hydrated,” said Latimer, 

“plus we have escort and 

trail vehicles for safety and 

emergencies.” 

The “Ruck March to Remember” 

originated in late 

2010. 

Maj. Jim Alves, the 4th 

SFS commander at Seymour 

Johnson AFB, N.C., 

suggested the march after 

reading about how combat 

controllers and pararescuemen 

walked 800-plus 

miles from Lackland AFB 

to Hurlburt Field, Fla., in 

honor of fallen special-tactics 

Airmen. 

“I thought if we applied 

the same concept on a 

march from San Antonio to 

Ground Zero, it would not 

only be possible, but it would 

be an outstanding way of remembering 

those who have 

given their lives on, and 

since, 9/11,” Alves said. 

Tech. Sgt. Kenneth 

Broughman, the overall 

march coordinator from 

the 4th SFS, said the 

march is a time for reflection 

on how Sept. 11 

changed their career field, 

their lives and a nation. 

“We’re doing it to reflect 

on ... the time we’ve been 

away from our loved ones 

due to deployments, the 

effects those deployments 

have had on each person, 

and ultimately to remember 

the defenders who lost their 

lives by enemy hands since 

the start of Operation Enduring 

Freedom,” Broughman 

said. 

Since 9/11, ten security 

forces Airmen have been 

killed and more than 100 

have been wounded in Iraq 

and Afghanistan combat 

operations. 

In addition to JB San Antonio 

and Barksdale AFB, 

other participating bases 

in the 148-mile legs include 

Keesler AFB, Miss.; Columbus 

AFB, Miss.; Tyndall 

AFB, Fla.; Moody AFB, Ga.;

98 and the beach crowds lies a blueberry 

picker’s paradise down a dirt road with the 

silence broken only by the voice of “U-pickers” 

like Yonok Olson of Crestview. 

“Oh look at the size of this one,” Olson said as she 

popped a berry into her mouth and a handful into her 

bucket. 

Shockley Springs Farm in Baker is one of a few U- 

pick farms in north Okaloosa County. It has been growing 

blueberries since 1979. 

“Okaloosa County has quite a heritage of blueberries,” 

said Mark Davis, the farm’s owner. 

“I like this because it’s a healthy thing for people. 

It’s not like I’m selling them alcohol,” he added. 

Dave Olson of Crestview, who said he drinks blueberries 

in a smoothie every morning with his wife, prefers 

picking them over going to the grocery store. 

“It’s your own quality control,” he said. “You taste 

the berry. If you don’t like it, you move to the next 

bush. You know what you’ve got. It’s always a fresh 

product.” 

Many of the pickers at Shockley Springs Farm arrive 

early to avoid the summer heat, but some people 

such as Tom Burke of Niceville think it’s worth the 

sweat. 

“They’re a dollar a pound here and they run about 

seven dollars a pound at the grocery store,” Burke 

said. 

Whether they pick their own berries for the health 

benefit or to save some money, Davis has noticed that 

people like to know the source of their food. 

“A lot of people bring their children to show them 

where food comes from,” he said. “It’s not just in a grocery 

store. I think it’s a generational experience that 

people want to hand down from parent to child. It’s 

kind of a wild experience to some degree, but at the 

same time that is the product of no pesticides and no 

herbicides.” 

Pickers may also have luck finding good berries 

from nearby Triple J Farm in Baker. 

Triple J owner Rodney Bolton said he will allow customers 

to pick as long as he has berries on the bush. 

“I’ll leave it open to U-pickers until they are gone,” 

he said. 

People also may get lucky finding blueberry patches 

on Eglin Air Force Base property. Most of the berries 

are left over from old homesteads and grow wild, 

according to Nancy Reece at Jackson Guard. 

Pickers looking for blueberries on the reservation 

need a $12 permit from Jackson Guard. 

Above, Yonok Olson of Crestview picks 

blueberries Saturday July 9, with her family 

at Shockley Springs Farm in Baker. Farm 

owner Mark Davis said there are plenty of 

blueberries left to pick through the end of 

July.

basket at Shockley Springs Farm in Baker.

GI Bill pay delay threat from new reform bill eases 

As Congress moves 

closer to protecting veterans 

at private colleges in 

seven states from a sharp 

drop in Post-9/11 GI Bill 

benefits, the Department 

of Veterans Affairs has 

softened its warning that 

the relief move will cause 

significant payment delays 

for many thousands of GI 

Bill users this fall. 

VA officials still see payment 

challenges ahead if 

the Restoring GI Bill Fairness 

Act becomes law this 

year. The House approved 

its version of the bill, HR 

1383, in May. The Senate 

Veterans Affairs Committee 

endorsed a companion 

bill, S 277, on June 29. A full 

Senate vote is expected 

next. 

A few months back, 

VA officials had opposed 

the bill. Keith M. Wilson, 

director of the VA’s education 

service, testified that 

providing relief from a new 

Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits’ 

cap to 30,000 students already 

enrolled in private 

colleges would require 

that the VA process those 

payments manually rather 

than through a redesigned 

computer software 

program. 

The administrative 

burden of doing this 

would “lead to a significant 

increase in the 

average processing time 

for all claims during the 

critical fall enrollment period,” 

Wilson told a House 

subcommittee. 

But VA officials now 

estimate that fewer than 

6,000 of the 30,000 students 

attending private colleges 

in Arizona, Michigan, New 

Hampshire, New York, 

Pennsylvania, South Carolina 

and Texas will need 

relief from the benefit cap 

to avoid a sharp drop in GI 

Bill payments. This 80 percent 

drop in the estimated 

number of student vets who 

would benefit from the relief 

bill, and therefore would 

need to have their GI Bill 

payments manually processed, 

lessens the threat 

of widespread delays this 

fall, agreed Joshua P. Taylor, 

the VA’s press secretary. 

But passage of the 

relief bill still will pose 

challenges. 

“VA has been working 

with the House and Senate 

for some time to solve issues 

created for this group 

of students at higher-tuition 

schools in certain states,” 

Taylor said. “It is important 

that we make sure any 

change in law that would 

provide (cap) relief doesn’t 

have the effect of disrupting 

administration of the program 

for the larger group 

of GI Bill beneficiaries.” 

VA officials know what’s 

in the legislation, Taylor 

added. But “we cannot 

Debbie Harrell 

implement changes in the 

system based on potential 

changes in the law. At this 

point, the processing of fall 

enrollments has already 

begun, which complicates 

the situation. We would 

have to process all those 

claims manually now and 

until the (relief) legislation 

expires.” 

Wilson first spoke of 

30,000 students potentially 

impacted because he 

lacked cost data to make a 

more accurate call, Taylor 

said. The 30,000 is total 

number of Post-9/11 GI Bill 

“trainees” who attended 

private colleges in the 

seven states from August 

2009 to July 2010.

Tom 

Philpott 

address 

a problem 

created 

by the 

Post-9/11 

Veterans 

Educational 

Assistance 

Improvements 

Act 

enacted 

last January. 

That bill improved the 

new GI Bill in several ways, 

all to take effect in fall of 

2011. This includes allowing 

benefits to be used for 

non-degree education and 

vocational training, and 

simplifying a complex payment-setting 

scheme. 

The Post-9/11 GI Bill 

will continue to cover full 

tuition and fees at any 

public college or university. 

But the wide variance in 

entitlement for students 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

attending private colleges 

will end. Benefit ceilings 

set in every state, based on 

tuition and fees at the most 

expensive state college or 

university, will be replaced 

by a single $17,500 annual 

cap. Starting next year, that 

cap will be adjusted annually 

by the percentage rise in 

education costs nationwide. 

But the new cap left 

private college students in 

seven states facing hefty 

unplanned out-of-pocket 

costs. Individual schools 

can address this by participating 

more deeply in the 

Post-9/11 GI Bill’s Yellow 

Ribbon feature. That feature 

requires VA to match 

in higher payments any 

portion of uncovered tuition 

that a private college or 

university agrees to waive. 

At schools not planning 

to strengthen Yellow 

Ribbon participation, the 

Restoring GI Bill Fairness 

Act would prevent GI Bill 

payments from falling for 

veterans already enrolled 

until they get their degree 

or exhaust their benefit. 

HEALTH COSTS TAR- 

GETED — A new report 

from the Congressional 

Budget Office brightens 

the bull’s eye on military 

personnel accounts for 

trimming future defense 

spending, and it takes special 

note of rising health 

costs linked to military 

retirees. 

TRICARE, the military’s 

triple health care 

option, is becoming more 

attractive to beneficiaries 

every year because of “low 

out-of-pocket expenses” 

and the rising cost of health 

See gi bill page 12

insurance alternatives for 

working age retirees and 

their dependents, CBO explains 

in the report “Long- 

Term Implications of the 

2012 Future Years Defense 

Program.” 

At least in part because 

of low fees, military beneficiaries 

use inpatient and 

outpatient health services 

far more often than do civilian 

counterparts. 

Department of Defense 

data cited by CBO shows 

enrollees in TRICARE 

Prime, the managed care 

option, use inpatient services 

at a rate 84 percent 

higher than civilians in 

comparable HMOs or 

health maintenance organizations. 

The Prime 

usage rate for outpatient 

services was 51 percent 

higher and for prescription 

drug services 27 percent 

higher. 

CBO said the data comparisons 

were adjusted for 

age and gender. There is 

no mention of any attempt 

to adjust usage rates to account 

for hardships of service 

life, including frequent 

wartime deployments. 

The report explains in 

a footnote that the proportion 

of military retirees and 

their dependents who use 

employer-provided health 

insurance alternatives to 

TRICARE hit 27 percent 

last year, down from 49

Before wars in Afghanistan 

and Iraq, the 

biggest cost driver for the 

defense budgets usually 

was weapon modernization, 

says CBO. But the

increases” now expected 

in costs for military and 

civilian compensation, military 

health care and operation 

and maintenance
