V" Education Services employees are willing to work with students in obtaining tuition assistance and are available during all duty hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The process for filling out the forms, reviewing eligibility and explaining student responsibility or obligation takes about 10 minutes.

CHARLES McCAUSLAND Commander, Ogden ALC be appropriate to remove them at the time of construction because they were stressed due to old age as well as riddled with disease problems and insect damage. Trees in this condition can be an extreme safety hazard during high wind and heavy snow due to the increased likelihood of dead and diseased branches falling to the ground. It was determined that the construction of the parking lot and sidewalk would cut away most of the trees' viable feeder roots, leading to the eventual death of the trees. It was, therefore, prudent for the Air Force to remove old decaying trees at the time of construction and replace them" with younger, more desirable trees, rather than waiting for the trees to die after construction and removing them with possible damage to the new parking lot and sidewalk. The new replacement trees will add considerably to the aesthetic qualities of the base for an extended period of time.
