Both gaining and losing insurance carriers estimate they could process 700,000 or more changes. Because of the large number of changes and the processing time required to put them into the computer, many claims will be rejected. You were given a copy of your Health Benefits Registration Form (Standard Form 2809) when you enrolled in a new plan or changed your old plan. It is suggested that you submit a copy of this form along with every claim you make until you receive your identification card from your insurance company.

The majority of Air Force members wear fatigues, flight suits or medic whites and do so with pride. No one portrays the Air Force more to the civilian community than an Air Force pilot in a flight suit. It's about time we showed an equal amount of respect for the person who wears the uniform proudly, regardless of its color or purpose. -- leave records count? Air Force policy on wearing of fatigues and Q The question I have is, is your leave record taken into consideration for your eligibility for an award? A The Performance Awards Program is estab-lisheto recognize and award civilian employees distinctive uniforms off base is that members not wear them if they intend to do extended shopping, dining, socializing or take part in any entertainment.

LEO MARQUE7 Major General, USAF call- - Commander, OgdenALC these uniforms do not present the image our policy makers want presented to the public. Didn't get weather message Q My suggestion concerns the wind storm we recently experienced. Since many people came to work even though the base was closed, I think the commander should have a system to notify the radio stations so the work force will know that they don't have to come to work. A Our Public Affairs Office notified all radio and TV stations plus the Associated Press and United Press International branch office that the base was going to be closed because of the storm. They were all notified by 6 a.m. on the day in question. This is our standard practice. So in the future, when we have severe weather or hazardous conditions and you wonder if you should come to work, I suggest you listen to the radio or watch TV for an announcement. If you're still in doubt, call your immediate supervisor, the command post, base operations or the security police. 0, Questions uniform regulation 7k00 uiiuiiuimvr.
