Windbreaker wives to
by Marty Gaines
Handmade gifts, Christmas decorations
for the tree and home, stocking stuf-
fers and handmade toys in abundance
will be sold at the annual NATO base
Wives' Clubs Christmas Bazaar. The
event, now in its second decade, will
be held Nov. 19 from noon to 4 p.m. at
the A.T. Mahan High School multi-purpose
room.
Participating clubs will include
the Ladies' Auxiliary Fleet Reserve
Association, Non-Commissioned Offi-
cers' Wives Club, Windbreaker Wives
Club and the Officers' Wives Club.
Each year the responsibility for
hosting the affair falls to a differ-
For frosty food,
friendly fellowship
For a place to relax, revitalize and
renew one's life, "The Well" is open to
all personnel, especially single and
accompanied servicemembers.
Located at the first floor lounge
at Bks. 747, "The Well" operates from
7:30 to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday;
Saturday and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.
A special "Ice Cream Night" is held
every Tuesday, beginning at 8 p.m. until
it runs out. On Tuesday evenings one
may enjoy homemade ice cream in addition
to Christian fellowship and devotions at
the coffee house.
"The Well," a Chapel-sponsored acti-
vity, is operated and maintained by
volunteers who aid in staffing the
coffee house.
...move (continued from paqe 1)
through the dispatcher at 2287. Like-
wise, both military taxi service and
wrecker service is available by
calling 2287.
Ens Sefton, who entered the Civil
Engineering Corps through the Limited
Duty Officer Program, states that about
550 vehicles are operated and maintained
by transportation. Together with the
dispatch, upkeep and repair of these
vehicles, transportation also directs
the operations branch.
This branch includes the base dump
service and trash collection and the pav-
ing of roads and parking lots. In addi-
tion, snow and ice removal is a major
function of the operations branch in
winter.
A prime concern of transportation is
military vehicle abuse, according to Ens
Sefton. Those drivers who check out
vehicles or drive assigned vehicles
should take special caution when
driving in winter, the ensign empha-
sized.
In fiscal year 1977, 385,951 gallons
of fuel were consumed by transportation
vehicles and equipment. Also, in this
time frame, 1,657,972 miles were
traveled by transportation vehicles.
Additionally, 27,622 hours were included
in construction equipment operations.
Lastly, transportation operates five
school buses together with the base bus
which is used daily.
Drivers should take extra care when
approaching school buses during winter
driving conditions, the transportation
officer states.

New regulation on standards published
A new publication will be distributed
this month which will help Air Force
personnel better understand Air Force
standards and the reasons for them.
The publication is Air Force Regular

E-7 Advancement cycle changes;
No more E-7/8/9 alternates
Alternate selectees no longer will be
designated for paygrades E-7/8/9. In a
related change, the E-7 advancement
cycle will now run from September -
August. The changes become effective
with the January E-7 exam, and the March
E-8/9 selection boards.
Identification of alternate selectees
is no longer necessary due tc> improved
techniques by which vacancies to pay-
grade are projected. In addition, the
action also eliminates the demotivating
experience of being advanced during
the cycle.

"This regulation describes our
standards, our environment and our re-
sponsibilities as members of the United
States Air Force," Air Force Chief of
Staff General David C. Jones said.
"These standards apply to all Air

day code of personal and professional
conduct," the general stated.
