DFAS Scam: A current scam first reported by Fort Carson where soldiers are asked to pay $350 for a service that does not exist. As you can see
from the attachment we have a scam going on trying to get money from our service members. We already have some members that have paid
the money. I need everyone's help in getting the word out as soon as possible. As you can see from the attachment they have copied the DFAS
logo as well as the Department of Defense logo on the paper so it makes it appear it's coming from DFAS. Please see attachment and message
below.

475 News Media Top Sheet: Some dates have past but 11-14th still active events- See flyer!
Want to help out and Volunteer? There are several elder adults in JC in need of help cutting back shrubs, grass, tree limbs from off the house
etc. Some need painting, minor repair interior and exterior and one lady recently wheelchair confined needs a ramp built so she can get out of
her house. Some of the projects will require experts such as the ramp - one would have to know how to construct this safely and at the correct
angles. Other projects simply need volunteers willing to give up a few hours to do minor things. The conditions are that the person or family
must supply all of the needed supplies i.e. paint, brushes, lumber, nails, etc. Some may not have the needed equipment - saws, hedge trimmers
etc. so we will have to scrounge that kind of stuff up. These projects could be a squad/Plt challenge or if Soldiers need community service due to
DUI or other actions, they could help with one of the projects. I currently have four requests that need prompt attention if anyone is available.
Please ask them to call me and I will put them in touch with the tenant or give them the address. Vicky Bobbit from JC SRS I.C.A.R.E. Program is

Tutor.com – Eligibility: As you know, we are in the midst of budget cuts. Although Tutor.com for U.S. Military Families will continue to serve
eligible users worldwide 24/7, the Department of Defense has issued funding modifications that will change eligibility for some adult users.
These modifications were implemented to make more tutoring sessions available to dependent children in grades 1-12. Previously, the MWR
Library program funded access to the Tutor.com Adult Education Center, College Center and Career Center for adult Active Duty U.S. military
service members, their spouses and their adult dependent children. As of April 2, 2012, the Tutor.com Adult Education Center, College Center
and Career Center will no longer be available to Active Duty Army, Air Force, USMC and deployed National Guard and Reserves adult service
members, their spouses and their adult dependent children. Note: the Navy General Library program has separately funded Tutor.com usage for
Navy adult service members, their spouses and their adult dependent children, so these centers will remain in place for the Navy program and
its personnel. To ensure that the Tutor.com for Military Families program does not exceed available funding, we are monitoring usage by Active
Duty Army, Navy, Air Force, USMC, National Guard and Reserves dependent children in grades 1-12. During high-demand times, these students
may see a message that no tutors are available. Students are encouraged to connect again at a later time or use the resources in the SkillsCenter
resource library, which are available 24/7 and when a connection to a live tutor is not available. On April 2, 2012, revised program eligibility
information will be available at www.tutor.com/military/eligibility.

celebrating military children for their heroism, character, courage, sacrifices and resilience. Read our article about the Month of the Military
Child to learn more about this observance and the importance of family resilience and readiness.
The Real Warriors Campaign website offers great resources for military families. Visit the Families section at http://www.realwarriors.net/family
for articles on helping children cope with deployments and reunions and adjusting to changes throughout the deployment cycle. Families can
share tips and advice on the family message board at

teenager or tween (http://www.realwarriors.net/ecard/family).
Throughout the Month of the Military Child, new articles and podcasts for military children will be posted on the Real Warriors Campaign
website, so like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/realwarriors) or follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/realwarriors) to stay up

Sew Much Comfort provides FREE adaptive (velcro closures) clothing to support the unique needs of our wounded service members from all
branches of the military and National Guard. These injuries require large fixator, prosthetics and casts that are too bulky to fit under ordinary
clothing. Without adaptive clothing, wounded service members are limited to wearing hospital gowns. We designed the clothing to appear as
normal civilian clothing. Sew Much Comfort is the only organization providing FREE adaptive clothing to wounded service members. Since our
founding in November 2004, we have distributed more than 115,000 pieces of adaptive clothing. I would be happy to talk with you on the
phone or feel free to email your questions if that is easier. Thank you, Michele Let us never forget all that has been done for each of us as we
walk in freedom. Michele Cuppy President/CFO & Co-Founder mmc.cuppy@comcast.net 952-431-6233 www.sewmuchcomfort.org.

DFAS Scam: A current scam first reported by Fort Carson where soldiers are asked to pay $350 for a service that does not exist. As you can see from the attachment we have a scam going on trying to get money from our service members. We already have some members that have paid the money. I need everyone's help in getting the word out as soon as possible. As you can see from the attachment they have copied the DFAS logo as well as the Department of Defense logo on the paper so it makes it appear it's coming from DFAS. Please see attachment and message below.

  • 4. Want to help out and Volunteer? There are several elder adults in JC in need of help cutting back shrubs, grass, tree limbs from off the house etc. Some need painting, minor repair interior and exterior and one lady recently wheelchair confined needs a ramp built so she can get out of her house. Some of the projects will require experts such as the ramp - one would have to know how to construct this safely and at the correct angles. Other projects simply need volunteers willing to give up a few hours to do minor things. The conditions are that the person or family must supply all of the needed supplies i.e. paint, brushes, lumber, nails, etc. Some may not have the needed equipment - saws, hedge trimmers etc. so we will have to scrounge that kind of stuff up. These projects could be a squad/Plt challenge or if Soldiers need community service due to DUI or other actions, they could help with one of the projects. I currently have four requests that need prompt attention if anyone is available. Please ask them to call me and I will put them in touch with the tenant or give them the address.

  • 13. The Flint Hills Discovery Center, in Manhattan, is officially reserving April 14 as its opening day! They can't wait to have you come visit- bring the whole family and immerse yourself in everything the Flint Hills has to offer. http://flinthillsdiscovery.org/ Enlisted Spouse Club (ESC) - This month’s event should be a lot of fun. We will be enjoying a night at the Gun Range! Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, April 18th from 6-8pm. We will be meeting at Godfrey's Indoor Shooting Range in Junction City. They will be waiving the lane rentals, so you will only need to pay for you gun rentals and ammo. Of course if you already have your own gun you can bring that as well. I would also check with your spouse to see if you can bring their eye or ear protection with you. They will have an instructor there for us for all of you first timers. They also have a nice lounge/meeting room and kitchen for us to use so please make sure you bring your favorite appetizer to share with the group. Below are the rental prices: Gun Rental - $10 an hour, Ammo - Ranges from $8.99 - 15.99 a box, Eye Protection - $2, and Ear Protection - $3. If you need childcare, please email me the names and ages of your children by Thursday April 12th. Your child must be registered with the Junction City ASYMCA. For more information contact Katie Wisdom, ESC President at escpresident@hotmail.com or visit their website at http://fortrileyesc.web.officelive.com Tutor.com – Eligibility: As you know, we are in the midst of budget cuts. Although Tutor.com for U.S. Military Families will continue to serve eligible users worldwide 24/7, the Department of Defense has issued funding modifications that will change eligibility for some adult users. These modifications were implemented to make more tutoring sessions available to dependent children in grades 1-12. Previously, the MWR Library program funded access to the Tutor.com Adult Education Center, College Center and Career Center for adult Active Duty U.S. military service members, their spouses and their adult dependent children. As of April 2, 2012, the Tutor.com Adult Education Center, College Center and Career Center will no longer be available to Active Duty Army, Air Force, USMC and deployed National Guard and Reserves adult service members, their spouses and their adult dependent children. Note: the Navy General Library program has separately funded Tutor.com usage for Navy adult service members, their spouses and their adult dependent children, so these centers will remain in place for the Navy program and its personnel. To ensure that the Tutor.com for Military Families program does not exceed available funding, we are monitoring usage by Active Duty Army, Navy, Air Force, USMC, National Guard and Reserves dependent children in grades 1-12. During high-demand times, these students may see a message that no tutors are available. Students are encouraged to connect again at a later time or use the resources in the SkillsCenter resource library, which are available 24/7 and when a connection to a live tutor is not available. On April 2, 2012, revised program eligibility information will be available at www.tutor.com/military/eligibility. Tuesday, April 17th, has been set by the IRS as the deadline to file your 2011 income tax return. This gives seven days - including one week- end - to complete your tax return or file for an extension. If you have yet to file, this is a great time to take advantage of MOS Tax Filing Services and tax consultants.

Military Community and Family Policy Office of the Secretary of Defense Providing policy, tools, and resources to further enhance the quality of life of service members and their families. Sew Much Comfort provides FREE adaptive (velcro closures) clothing to support the unique needs of our wounded service members from all branches of the military and National Guard. These injuries require large fixator, prosthetics and casts that are too bulky to fit under ordinary clothing. Without adaptive clothing, wounded service members are limited to wearing hospital gowns. We designed the clothing to appear as normal civilian clothing. Sew Much Comfort is the only organization providing FREE adaptive clothing to wounded service members. Since our founding in November 2004, we have distributed more than 115,000 pieces of adaptive clothing. I would be happy to talk with you on the phone or feel free to email your questions if that is easier. Thank you, Michele Let us never forget all that has been done for each of us as we walk in freedom. Michele Cuppy President/CFO & Co-Founder mmc.cuppy@comcast.net 952-431-6233 www.sewmuchcomfort.org.
