Forfeits Marring

In the first game this past Monday the Naval Security Group (NSGP) won their
first game from the bench 6-0. The Headquarters Squadron, Air Forces Iceland (Hed-
ronsec AFI) failed to show.
The Supply Squadron also re-'"
ceived a forfeit from the Head-
quarters Squadron IDF (Hedron-

Scouts Begin
New Program
Keflavik Airport’s Boy Scout
Troop 64 are in the midst of an
accelerated activities program.
Earlier this week they visited five
organizations in a Know-Your-
Neighbor program.
Each scout visited a family liv-
ing on the base. Some attended
retreat formations and others vis-
ited the AFRS radio station and
assisted broadcasters. The Toast-
masters Club gave the scouts a
preview of public speaking.
Other Troop 64 members served
as helpers in the Commissary.
Scout leaders are forming an
honor guard which will participate
in the distinguished visitors wel-
coming ceremonies.
Another item on the Scout
agenda is a swimming class. This
phase is in the planning stages.
Beginning today, camp-outs will
last through Aug. 22. One of the
camp-outs will be with the Ice-
landic Scouts in Thingvellir.

The new procedures, announced'
by TSgt. Marion E. Hicks, NCOIC
of the Special Actions, is expected
here Sept. 1.
Applications in channels now
and those that have been ap-
proved are still valid. Airmen
who have already received word
and given their choice of duty
station need have no fears. The
Air Force will honor the tour
requests.
The announcement from Person-
nel said, “In general, procedures
will require indication of pertin-
ent information on rotational ros-
ters, and eliminate present ap-
plication procedures. USAF will
apply airmen against overseas re-
quirements. Consecutive tours sub-
sequent to March 1961 which have
been approved will remain firm.”
All airmen should refrain from
calling Personnel. Sergeant Hicks
noted that as soon as MATS im-
plementation orders are received
locally, the program will be re-
leased in THE WHITE FALCON
and other base media.

Civilians arriving this week were
Mrs. Elna M. McMullen, on her first
Civil Service assignment, and Miss
Pat Koos, from Rabat, Morocco.
Those of us who brag that we
have descended from a long line
probably should add it is one our
mother fell for.

ficers; service as a cadet or mid-
shipman ; service on certain boats;
double time and certain service as
a nurse, woman medical specialist
or civilian employee of Army Med-
ical Department.
The National Guard service
must be that actually served
during an annually scheduled
field training period. The cadet
and midshipman service credit is
granted to enlisted men only.
Service on boats is credited to
servicemen who served as warrant
officers of the Army Mine Planter
Service on boats in the service of
the Quartermaster Department of
the Quartermaster Corps prior to
July 9, 1918.
Double time is given for service
in China, Cuba, the Philippine
Islands, the Island of Guam, Al-
aska and Panama during enlist-
ments contracted prior to Aug.
24, 1912 and service rendered in
Puerto Rico and the Territory of
Hawaii prior to Apr. 23, 1904.
Few, if any, servicemen of that
era are still in the service.
Nurses and members of the
Woman Medical Specialist Corps
may claim credit for all active
service performed in the Navy
Nurse Corps as it existed at any
time before Apr. 16, 1947—ser-
vice performed in the Army
Nurse Corps as it existed at any
time before Apr. 16, 1947—service
performed under an appointment
under acts of Dec. 22, 1942 and
June 22, 1944; and all active full
time service, except as a student
or apprentice, with the Medical
Department of the Army as a
civilian employee.
This includes service in the di-
etetic or physical therapy cate-
gories, if the service was per-
formed after Apr. 6, 1917, and
before Apr. 1, 1943.
Service in the occupational ther-
apy category, if the service was
performed before appointment in
the Army Nurse Corps or the
Womens’ Medical Specialist Corps
before Jan. 1, 1949 or before ap-
pointment in the Air Force before
Jan. 1, 1949, under Section 8683,
Title 10, U.S. Code.
All active service in the Wom-
en’s Army Auxiliary Corps after
May 13, 1942, and before Sept.
30, 1943, provided the member
performed active service in the
Armed Forces after Sept. 29, 1943.
Air Force members should con-
sider any lost time in computing
their retirement time accrued. An
enlisted member must make up
time for that period he deserted;
was absent from his organization,
station or duty for more than one
day without proper authority;
was confined for more than one
day while awaiting trial and dis-
position of his case, and whose
conviction became final; or was
unable for more than one day, to
perform his duties because of in-
temperate use of drugs or alco-
holic liquor, or because of disease
or injury resulting from his own
misconduct.
Non-creditable service is Nation-
al Guard or Air National Guard
time, other than field training
periods. Service served in the
Guards under “Federal Service”—
periods when entire units or in-
dividuals are called into active
service during emergencies is cred-
itable.
Reserve components service oth-
er than active Federal service is
not creditable.
Airmen personnel and Officer
personnel clerks, in the past year,
have computed an adjusted “active
service” date for all. Those who
can present creditable service evi-
dence other than regular tours of
active duty should submit it for
a readjustment of his retirement.
