Data Courtesy of Air Force Personnel Center current as of Nov. 22 Column 1 - The remaining FSB eligibles. This is the number of people today that would meet the board if no one else separated or cross flowed between now and the board date. As people separate, this number will go down. So, for 2003 Airfield Ops, there are currently 31 officers that are eligible for this board (this number takes out officers with over 15 years, patients, prisoners, etc) Column 2 - These are the target numbers from the original charts that went out. These numbers are for information only because the new targets are represented in column 4. Column 3 - This is the number of officers we have lost from the career field to date whether due to separations, re-coring officers in training, etc. This number will go up as officers separate or get approved for crossflow. For 2003 Airfield Ops, we have a loss of 17 for various reasons. Column 4 - This is the actual target to date. This is the number officers should watch because this will tell them how many officers still need to separate. This number will go down as people volunteer to separate or get picked up for crossflow. For 2003 Airfield Ops, we have 14 out of 31 eligible left to separate. Column 5 - This is the officer’s remaining vulnerability. The way to get this number is by dividing column 4 by column 1. This number will also change as the two columns go down when people separate or crossflow. For 2003 Airfield Ops, 14/31 = 45percent vulnerability. Military Special at Rick’s Nursery...

Now accepting applications for Winter 2006. Academy Spirit December 2, 2005 7 Revamped portal better information gateway

By Senior Airman J.G. Buzanowski Air Force Print News

WASHINGTON — Users who sign on to the Air Force Portal will find an improved system that not only looks better, but is more user-friendly and effective. The redesign is the first in two years. The portal is meant to be the one place Airmen go to accomplish anything they do online. That is whether it’s part of their job, like ordering replacement parts, or form processing, like when they go on leave. “We want the Air Force Portal to be the first stop for doing work on the Internet in the Air Force. And we also want it to be easy to use,” said Maj. David Gindhart, one of the program overseers. The major said, “We gathered a lot of feedback and did some user testing. As a result, we made the Air Force Portal better, allowing people to find more of what they need faster.” In addition, the portal got a new color scheme and the upgraded search engine is more effective. The goal was to make the portal similar to commercial Internet search sites, but still maintain the Air Force feel, Major Gindhart said. “Some things that were redundant or confusing were streamlined, like separate tabs for ‘My Base’and ‘My Courtesy graphic The Air Force Portal is a one stop shop for applications like myPay, IT E-Learning, Fitness Management, Organization,’” the major said. “Now when people OLVIMS, SMART and Virtual Military Personnel Flight.

Winter driving tips

All drivers must follow a comprehensive safety plan. With this plan you can be prepared for the worst. ❏ Keep at least a half tank of gas. Not only does it give a margin of error if stuck and have to keep the engine running periodically, but it also gives better traction ❏ If stuck in a serious storm, do not leave the car. Wait for help! ❏ Carry blankets, water, a flashlight, a shovel, some nutrition bars or even candy bars for sustenance. Winterize the car’s safety kit. ❏ Remember four-wheel drive may give better traction, but does not help stop the vehicle. ❏ Don’t go exploring in the back-country without some local knowledge of the area, especially during a storm. The weather can change quickly in the Rocky Mountains. ❏ It is recommended tires have at least 1/8 of an inch of tread depth. All season radials on a front-wheel-drive vehi- cles are adequate for most situations. ❏ Don’t drive too fast, especially in poor visibility or even whiteout conditions. In addition to these winter driving tips, refer to Colorado Department of Transportation for winter weather conditions and requirements. Graphic by Staff Sgt.
