As a result of the furlough, the 75th Air Base Wing support services will change. Most of the base will be furloughing their civilians on Fridays during the furlough period, with some exceptions. The accompanying schedules summarize mission support impacts and changes could occur as necessary. See graphic below for more information.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation advised Woods that because of all the tar patches covering the range resembling tar "snakes" that the surface wasn't safe enough to conduct courses there. During hot weather the tar patches shift as they soften in the heat and motorcycles are not as likely to navigate the area safely as the result of traction loss. So until the situation is resolved it cannot be used. Please keep all motorcycles off the range until further notice. Safety and risk management are a high priority for the base. Motor- cycle Safety Foundation training is normally offered several times a month. Now local vendors coordinate the required training to military members, at reduced prices for this time of year, because military personnel are required to take a refresher course every five years in order to ride on or off base. "I would like to reopen our range so we can offer MSF courses to all base riders including civilians, miilitary dependents and every rider with access to the base — and that helps to make our streets safer here at Hill Air Force Base for everybody," said Woods. He encourages everyone who will participate in the ride to keep safety paramount as they ride in a Staggered Twos forma- tion through the local communities. "The purpose is to motivate motorists to take a second look specifically for motorcyclists and to share the road with the smaller traffic including bicyclists and pedestrians," said Woods. In the past the ride has been very popular. Local law enforcement and Utah Highway Patrol will provide escorts to ensure riders do not have to stop for lights. They will close intersections as the ride progresses. All off-base riders who would like to join the campaign ride may stage at the Hill Aerospace Museum and follow the group as it leaves the Roy Gate. Woods suggests they be in place for staging no later than 10:45 a.m. PMV Fatalities I Fatal Rate to Date: 70-Year Avg (ier); - 12) fata.fities / Fatal Rate: Integrity - Service - Excellenee Woods has not lost any personal friends to accidents but he has lost acquaintances. Woods encourages every motorcyclist to ride defensively and to make sure that motorists see them, not taking it for granted that just because they are in motorists' line of sight that they are seen. Also, he encourages any motorcyclist to take refresher courses. According to the State of Utah, older motorcyclists are more often involved in fatal accidents, although it is those aged 20-23 who are most the highest age group involved in any type of accident.Woods said, "We are never too old to be- FURLOUGH DATES HRS DAYS "Mr HOURS OF OPERATION CHANGES CLOSED ON FRIDAYS • West and Southwest Gates (pending Union impact and implementation bargaining) • Civilian pay, non-appropriated funds financial analysis and quality control, civilian in- and out-processing • History Office • Official Mail Center Office • Mail delivery • Legal services, environmental, civil and contract law (military law is open) • Enhanced Use Lease Office • Plans and Programs Office • Information Protection Office (including fingerprinting) • Community Support Coordinator • Public Affairs, to include Graphic Arts and Photography • Wingman Advocate Office, but the hotline is available (801-777-2255) • Protocol Office • Base Housing Office • Crane service (75th Logistics Readiness Squadron Vehicle Operations) • Official Passports • Manpower Office • Education Center, but college offices for Park, Embry-Riddle, and Webster are open • Restaurants (Crosswinds, Runway Ruby's, and those in customer buildings), but the AAFES food court is open • Travel Management Office (TMO) inspections for household goods moves • West Gate - Monday Friday, 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. (pending Union impact and — implementation bargaining) • Southwest Gate Monday - Friday, 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. (pending Union impact and implementation bargaining) • • • • • • • • • *Iv ..: REDUCED/DELAYED SERVICES :_:_: ON FURLOUGHFRIDAYS • Safety Office • 75th Comptroller Squadron's (CPTS) military pay, travel pay and budget • Transformation Office • CPTS Accounting Liaison Office, Defense Travel System support and budget • Equal Opportunity Office • Inspector General Office • Anti-terrorism and Force Protection 8I 3.16 77.5/4 . 39 U.S. Air Force come lifelong learners." His goal is to live long enough to become a very old rider. Woods urges motorists to set aside the electronic devices that so often prove a distraction and that no matter what you are driving or riding that you never drink and drive. Don't drive beyond your ability, he said. Even though your bike can go well over 100 mph, doesn't mean you need to. The Hill program received accolades as the strongest program in the Air Force during the last Consolidated Unit Inspection and Woods encourages everyone to ride safe and always use the Wingman concept.
