Vets to Shop Online Exchange?

Defense officials are weighing a proposal from the director of the Army and Air Force Exchange
Service (AAFES) to allow the nation's 22 million honorably discharged veterans, and perhaps an
equal number of their family members, to shop online for military exchange products and discounts.
According to Thomas C. Shull, chief executive officer of AAFES, providing online discounts to
millions of deserving veterans and families would cause exchange profits to soar while protecting
the benefit in tough budget times. Read the Military Update to get the full story.<p></p>

Sgt. Bergdahl Could be Due Back Pay

<p>Service members designated by the Defense Department as "captive, missing or missing in action"
are entitled to receive back pay and allowances, officials said. Any additional pay and allowances
earned such as promotions or special entitlements are not issued until they are officially
recovered or classified as deceased. This means that recently freed Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl could be
entitled to between $150,000 and $300,000 in back pay and special compensation following his
release as a Taliban prisoner. Read the full article on Military.com.</p>

Tips for TRICARE Overseas

<p>Since walk-in customer service at TRICARE Service Centers (TSCs) ended April 1, beneficiaries
moving stateside should become familiar with TRICARE's self-service options. Active duty
servicemembers and family members moving from overseas to the U.S. will transfer to TRICARE Prime
or TRICARE Prime Remote. You can transfer via telephone by using "Moving Made Easy." Just call
your current (losing) contractor and give them information about your upcoming move. Also,
beneficiaries can manage their health care benefits 24/7 online via the links found in the "I want
to" section on the TRICARE website at www.tricare.mil. To learn more about "Moving Made Easy,"

Monster Worldwide Conducts Study

<p>Monster Worldwide, Inc. has released the sixth edition of the Veterans Talent Index (VTI),
providing insight into what veterans look for from employers, what types of retention programs are
being used, and what concerns employers have when hiring veterans. Many surveyed employers (69%,
the highest response rate in three years) say their company has a stated commitment to hiring
veterans. More than half of the employers surveyed do not have major concerns when hiring
veterans. Of those who do, their foremost concerns are veteran employees fitting into corporate
culture (28%) and transferring military skills to corporate job skills (27%). Nearly all (99%) of
the surveyed employers agree -- veterans perform as well or better than their civilian coworkers.
For more information, read the complete report from Monster's comprehensive May 2014 Veterans
Talent Index, and to learn more about hiring veterans, visit Military.com's Veterans Employment
Center.</p>

active duty, both in the Military Treatment Facilities and in purchased care. In June, the Air
Force Medical Operations Agency (AFMOA) will begin to roll out the first-ever Air Force Mental
Health Help Seeking Campaign, which actively encourages people who are struggling to seek help

Overseas Moving Tips

<p>People moving to the States this summer should start preparing now by finding new homes for the
things that are banned from import. It is also a good idea to apply early for import permits on
restricted items. Here are several tips: (1) prohibited items include meat and meat products as
well as plants and destructive devices; (2) owners of vehicles less than 25 years old and not made
to U.S. Standards have to ship them through commercial importers registered with the Department of
Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency; (3) most mopeds and motorcycles must also meet
U.S. Safety and pollution standards; (4) wine collections can only be shipped with advance
approval from the transportation office; and (5) state attorneys general must approve imports of
gambling devices. Need more details? Get many informative pamphlets from a military customs
office, or visit the military customs website at

Navy Testing Diarrhea Vaccine

<p>Researchers at the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC) have begun an FDA-approved phase 1
clinical trial for a vaccine for Campylobacter Jejuni, which causes Traveler's Diarrhea. C. Jejuni
is a global health problem and is a leading cause of diarrhea in deployed military personnel and
international travelers. This phase 1 study will enroll up to 48 healthy volunteers to determine
safety and dosing levels. It is hoped that at the end of the study, the results will allow the
research team to take the vaccine into a phase 2 study where volunteers will be vaccinated to see
if it protects against Campylobacter in a human challenge study. The NMRC Enteric Diseases
Department's research program is centered on the development of effective countermeasures to
prevent or abate bacterial diarrhea, with most efforts aimed at vaccine research and development.

New Soldier For Life Website

<p>The Army Soldier for Life program recently launched a new website that will improve Solider,
veteran and family access to employment, education and health care. Until now, retirees used Army
Knowledge Online (AKO) as their primary web tool to receive and manage Army-related information.
The Soldier for Life website will replace AKO as the primary communication tool between the Army
and retirees. With the help of the program, Soldiers are able to find an established network
connecting them with employment, education and health care and successfully reintegrate into
civilian life. For more information, contact Master Sgt. Bryon Mulligan with the Office of the
Chief of Staff, Army Soldier for Life program at 703-545-2648 or visit the Soldier for Life

Saving the Bladensburg Peace Cross

<p>More than 120 citizens, including a strong showing by American Legion Riders, staged a May 31
rally to save the Peace Cross monument in Bladensburg, Md., from being taken away. In February, a
humanist group filed a lawsuit to remove the cross from its location on public land, claiming it
violates the constitutional separation of church and state. The 40-foot-high Peace Cross, which
includes an American Legion emblem at its crux, is located at the intersection of Maryland Route
450 and U.S. Route 1. It was authorized through the Commissioners of Bladensburg to serve as a
memorial for residents of Prince George's County who died while serving in the armed forces during
World War I. For more information, read the American Legion press release and Shaun Rieley's
recent article in the National Review Online and view the petition at the Change.org
website.</p>

Keep Pets, Family Safe This Summer

<p>With the temperatures rising, both in the ocean and on land, water and sun safety must be a
number-one priority. Children should never be left unattended near any body of water. Swimmers
should attempt to swim at beaches with lifeguards nearby. Sunscreen with at least 30 SPF should be
put on 20 minutes before leaving home. Check on the elderly during warm days to make sure they are
receiving enough liquids and staying hydrated. Pets are just as susceptible to heat stroke as
humans -- always have cool water available and shade when outside. Never leave children or pets in
a parked car. For more hot weather safety tips, visit the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
website at www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/extremeheat/heattips.asp, the National Weather Service website

Post-Retirement Weight Gain?

<p>Approximately half of the Army retirees whose height and weight were measured at medical appointments in military treatment facilities last year had a body mass index that classified them as obese. A Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 is classified as obese and can lead to serious weight-related health problems. Also, a high waist circumference (greater than 40 inches for males and greater than 35 inches for females) is one of five medical conditions that comprise "metabolic syndrome." You can prevent unwanted weight gain by using the U.S. Army's Performance Triad, which focuses on three components of health: sleep, activity and nutrition. For more information, visit the U.S. Army's Performance Triad webpage and calculate your BMI at www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm.</p><p>For more fitness tips and workout programs, visit the Military.com Fitness Center.</p>
