ALC on Feelingare picked aircraft mechanics QWhy has identified specific yiA The Air Force of positions whose members will categories be subject to drug testing according to the Air Force Civilian Drug Testing Plan. These positions have duties and responsibilities which are consistent with the guidelines established by executive order. Positions include law enforcement, national security, the protection of life and property, and public health or safety. Headquarters U.S. Air Force directed that the aircraft general mechanic fall under the criteria of national security and protection of life and property. No other series working on the aircraft production line was included. The numbers involved in this program fluctuate as do manpower requirements. Recommendations have been made to HQ USAF that additional series be included as Testing Designated Positions; however, at this time those series have not been approved. If the sheet metal mechanic and aircraft electrician positions are included as TDPs. those employees will then be subject to random testing.

I know they set up a new system for receiving numbers that are used most often, but I don't think they address everything.

Restaurant slipping is going on with the base QWhat At one time, the base restaurant in Bldg. 507 was a good place to get some breakfast or lunch, but not anymore. First of all, the base restaurants have started purchasing supplies from one central distributor, not from smaller, local vendors. Isn't this against federal rules regarding purchasing from small businesses? Secondly, we've been told there will no longer be daily specials available in Bldg. 507. How come? On top of everything else, one morning the cashiers were not given any money to make change with. How can they expect to have any sales with no change? personnel has affected switchboard Jryi manning and voice messaging was a way to solve some of the downsizing problems.
