SEE A PHOTO GALLERY ON PAGE 7 Pulse on force management SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS W ASHINGTON — Beginning April 3, regular force management updates will be published at www.af.mil , including program updates, reports on voluntary program applications received at AFPC and changes to program eligibility. Also, in response to Airmen's feedback to the secretary of the Air Force, chief of staff and chief master sergeant of the Air Force, Airmen can now access the latest program details, such as the eligibility matrices, through a force management hot button on the Air Force Portal. "From initial notification and implementation, we've discussed the dynamic nature and fast pace of our force management programs," said Lt. Gen. Sam Cox, the Air Force deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services. "With volumes of available information, necessary real-time adjustments and national-level budget uncertainties all colliding, it is understandable that we have sincere angst in our force. While the heightened concern is natural and reasonably expected, we want to help mitigate it with a consistent effort of communicating to our Airmen." Updated eligibility matrices Updates to the enlisted and officer ill Air Force Base officials got a sneak peek of a new bus service that they hope will forever change the way employees on base get to and from work. Recently, Col. Kathryn Kolbe, 75th Air Base Wing commander, along with some other base and Utah Transit Authority personnel, rode the FrontRunner commuter train from Farmington to Clearfield, then boarded a bus that took them directly to the base. On Monday, April 14, base employees will be able to do the same thing. UTA begins a new bus service to the base that will operate Monday through Friday with two buses that originate from the Clearfield FrontRunner Station, 1250 S. State St. One bus will enter the south gate on State Route 193 and service the east side of the base, while the other will enter the west gate at 650 North and service the west side of the base. The service will operate at peak service times, from about 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and will make 20 different stops on base. Kolbe said Hill employees will benefit by having a cheap, effective and stress free way to get to work and back home.
