Hill AFB boasts a top finan- cial management counselor, according to SMSgt. Jim Litalien, deputy director of the Family Support Center. Trent Searle, employed at Hill for nearly a year, usually counsels those in need of budget planning assitance. However, Sergeant Litalien said his experience is much broader than that. change items. Still, with the change, Hill will not be immediately affected. "Col. Lloyd H. McCoin (commander, 2849th Air Base Group) knows of the change, but has decided not to act on it for now," said Captain Irmatinger. "He doesn't want additional people moving about the exchange area where the mall work is going on." The captain emphasized the potential hazard of having too many people walking near a construction area. "But I think the commander has it in mind to relax that policy and adopt some of the new changes once the mall is complete," the captain said. Nevertheless, the changes will still require visitors to have clearance before entering the base exchange, much as it is now, according to the captain. SMSgt. Jim Litalien Family Support Center "Anyone needing help with their taxes can come to Trent and he can work you through the most complicated financial portfolio," the sergeant said. "He's worked with everyone from airmen to colonels on base." The counseling is free and if Mr. Searle cannot answer the question, he finds someone who can, Sergeant Litalien said. And that's not all. The center also carries all federal forms needed for tax preparation as well as most state forms from around the country, the sergeant said. In addition to tax consulting, Mr. Searle is prepared to help families work through difficult budget problems. According to the sergeant, the Brigham Young University graduate has worked with more than a thousand Hill employees in the last year. Assistance helps service fake care of own One of the most popular fund-raisin- g campaigns started yesterday morning at a kickoff breakfast in the NCO Club and is the means by which the Air Force takes care of its own. The 1988 Air Force Assistance Fund campaign to aid needy Air Force personnel through various means, such as education, financial assistance and retirement homes, will run from now through April 1, with an Air Force goal of raising $4.5 million. Capt. Gary E. Wolfe, a member of the Directorate of Contracting and Manufacturing, is this year's project officer at Hill AFB. During the next few weeks, Captain Wolfe and his committee will be contacting every military member on Hill AFB to solicit donations. Even though the civilian population will not benefit from proceeds of the campaign, they will be welcome to participate in all activities and contribute to the coffers. Donations may be made to the Air Force Aid Society, the official Air Force charity, that provides financial assistance to all military members and dependents in time of need, Air Force Village for retired officers and their dependents in San Antonio, Texas, and the Air Force Enlisted Home in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. Perhaps the most popular recipient of funds during the campaign is the Air Force Aid Society. The society can loans, grants or provide interest-fre- e a combination of both for such things as basic maintenance, emergency leave, TDY travel expenses, funerals, moving expenses, essential transportation, fire or other disasters and medical and dental expenses not covered by CHAMPUS. Each of the retirement homes provides services and community living conditions to retired officers and enlisted members and their dependents after their active duty years have ended. More information will be provided on each of the beneficiaries in future issues of the Hilltop Times during the campaign. However, if more information is required now, call Captain Wolfe, Ext. 76002.
