The U.S. Postal Service isworking to establish a new con-tract for operation of its satelliteoffice in Bldg. 910.

The office closed Dec. 31following unexpected termina-tion of the current contract, but itwill not impact official maildelivery on base to offices orpersonal mail delivery to resi-dences.

The postal service contractprovides personal mail services,including outgoing mail collec-tion and post office boxes.

Temporary service is expect-ed to resume Monday, accord-ing to Sandra Bussey, PostalService retail specialist. A postalclerk will provide servicesMonday through Friday from 10a.m. until 2 p.m.

Services will include stamp

sales, package mailing, anddelivery for base post office-boxmail.

All official government mailis still processed through the78th Air Base WingCommunications Directorateofficial mail center, also locatedin Bldg. 910.

A sign posted at the basepost office lists other PostalService locations where person-al mail services are available inthe local area.

The Postal Service is seekinga new service provider. Thenew contractor should be inplace within 90 days, but couldtake longer, Bussey said.

If $3 a gallon gas prices aren’t incentiveenough to park your vehicle, base officialshave introduced a few more incentives tohelp convince you to let others do the driv-ing.

The Round Robins Express, or baseshuttle service, now has additional stopson its routes to entice employees to jumpon board. A number of the new pick up anddrop off points are adjacent to the flight-line, which provide maintenance riders

easier access to their work areas. The RRE travels two routes. The Red

Line supports high occupancy administra-tive buildings such as Bldgs. 300 and 301,while the Blue Line is tailored to flightlineworkers. Both lines run weekdays from5:15 to 9 a.m. and 2 to 5:30 p.m.

According to John Pugh, 78th MissionSupport Group deputy director , the pro-gram is evolving to better serve its cus-tomers.

“We listen very carefully to feedbackwe receive from riders and potential rid-ers,” Pugh said. “We want to make the pro-

gram the best it can be to encourage peo-ple to give up their keys.”

Since their launch in late November,base officials have also made positivechanges to the base’s other mass transitoptions.

Gate 12, at the North Davis Driveextension, is open to vehicles with two ormore occupants. It was initially open tovehicles with three or more occupants.

Meanwhile, the schedules of the BiRD,or Buses into Robins Daily, have beenmodified. BiRD also has four pick-uplocations between the Macon Centreplex

and the base: Cherry Street at MartinLuther King Blvd. (in downtown Macon),Broadway at Highway 247, the TIMCOsite at 247 (near the Macon airport), andElberta Road at 247.

The drop-off points are the same fromRobins to Macon, with the exception ofthe TIMCO stop. Northbound BiRD busesinstead stop at the Kohl’s DistributionCenter.

A C-17 Globemaster IIIfrom the Air Force Reserve's315th Airlift Wing,Charleston, S.C., landed atRobins Dec. 30 to loadhumanitarian aid headed forNicaragua.

Nicaragua’s capital.The equipment was trans-

ported as part of the DentonProgram, which permits theDepartment of Defense totransport, on a space-avail-able basis, privately-donatedhumanitarian goods to for-eign countries at no cost tothe donating agencies ororganizations.

“The opportunity to bringhumanitarian aid which pro-vides direct assistance tocountries in need is one ofthe better missions we do,”said Lt. Col. Jess Smith,mission commander. “Theentire crew is proud to be apart of these important mis-sions.”

According to an ERSLArelease, the organizationbegan soliciting equipment

for the shipment in 2009 byvisiting fire departments andnetworking online. Donatedequipment from around thecountry was then consolidat-ed in a staging location inWarner Robins.

On the heels of this deliv-ery, a second C-17 crew fromthe 315th was scheduled todeliver nearly $67,000 inmedical and school suppliesto Haiti, as well as another$25,000 in clothing, food,medical and school suppliesto Grenada.

In total, the Air ForceReserve was scheduled toairlift four tons of humanitar-ian aid, school supplies, andfirst-responder equipment toCentral America and theCaribbean during the holidayweekend.

Center continueswork with OSHA

The Warner Robins AirLogistics Center is continuing towork with the OccupationalSafety and Health Administra-tion on the Center’s plan to cor-rect 13 citations the Centerreceived in May.

In early December, the Centerasked for additional time becauseof the magnitude and complexityof the abatement plan for Bldgs.169 and 670 to complete remedi-al actions OSHA requires.

However, the Center receivednotification this week that OSHArequested additional informationabout the Center’s plan and couldnot approve the request for thefull amount of time the Centerrequested. However, OSHA didagree to re-evaluate the Center’srequest.

“The health and welfare ofour workforce is vitally impor-tant,” said Maj. Gen. Robert H.McMahon, Center commander.“Therefore, we are working with

OSHA to ensure its concerns areaddressed.”

“We have made some signifi-cant strides in our efforts to cor-rect the issues, but we still haveadditional work to do,”McMahon continued.

The Center will addressOSHA’s latest concerns in corre-spondence early next week.

In the meantime, the Centerwill continue on its path toimprovement.

“It is paramount we provideour employees the safest workenvironment possible,” saidMcMahon.

The Russians recentlyvisited Robins, sort of.

In late December, thebase played host to anexercise for the OpenSkies Treaty. To promotetrust, the treaty allowssignatory nations to, uponrequest, fly over and pho-tograph each other’s mili-tary installations.

The exercise involvedU.S. military members –including Navy, Armyand Air Force personnel –from the Defense ThreatReduction Agency. Theunit works to counter thethreat of weapons of massdestruction around theworld, and escorts OpensSkies visitors to U.S.installations. Also partici-pating were aircraft main-tainers from Offutt Air

Force Base, Neb.Some members of the

team played the role ofRussians on an OpenSkies visit. It allowedthose who escort delega-tions to test their knowl-edge of the protocol andnegotiations involved,said Maj. Keith Oki,deputy mission com-mander.

The group of about 32- including the maintain-

ers, escorts and the“Russians” - arrived atRobins one day and trav-elled the next to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,Ohio.

Robin serves as a refu-eling point for Open Skiesvisits. While stopovershere are less frequenttoday, at one time Robinshosted as many as two orthree Russian visits ayear.

Management PartnershipAgreement.

The document is thesame as it has been underprevious commanders, butis traditionally signed byeach new commander as arenewal of the commit-ments outlined in theagreement.

“You and I will agree toagree and we will agree todisagree, but we will workthrough the issues,”McMahon told Scott fol-lowing the signing. “It’sthis partnership that willmake us successful.”

The agreement does notsupersede the MasterLabor Agreement, whichextends across Air ForceMateriel Command, butinstead expresses a localcommitment by both sidesto follow the MLA andwork together on issues.

The partnership agree-ment also spells out the for-

mation of the PartnershipCouncil, which is made upof labor and managementleaders and meets regularlyto explore ways to improverelations.

Scott said the agreementis significant because itestablishes open communi-

cation between the twosides.

“We communicate withone another to resolveissues and make leadershipaware of things going on inthe workforce for the bet-terment of the mission,”Scott said.

BY CAPT. SHERWIN IGNACIORobins Legal Office

When purchasing a vehicle, agood deal may not always be agood deal. Make sure you readthe fine print. You may not begetting what you bargained for.

If you purchase a vehicle inthe state of Georgia, and the

amount of your purchase ismore than $5,000, there is nolimit to the maximum interestrate.

According to Georgia law,the maximum interest rate forany purchase of $5,000 or moremay be negotiated between thebuyer and seller. So, theoretical-ly, a buyer can agree to an inter-

est rate which far exceeds whatis actually being charged at mar-ket. And, because of possiblevariation from lender to lender,it is important buyers “shoparound” and check the variousrates charged by banks, creditunions, finance companies, andother lenders in order to negoti-ate the best rate for the type of

loan desired.It is important when you are

in the final stages of purchasinga vehicle and about to sign thecontract, you make sure youread the fine print. Make sureyou know what the interest rateof your purchase is because youmay be agreeing to a rate morethan you bargained for.

Buyer beware: Remember to read the fine print

On Jan. 1, AFMC began our“Year of the Community Collegeof the Air Force” campaign. JohnBuchan, a 20th century writer andpolitician, once said, “The task ofleadership is not to put greatnessinto people, but to elicit it, for thegreatness is there already.” Therefore,I challenge each of you to reap thebenefits of formal education dur-ing the New Year.

AFMC’s YoCCAF will empha-size the need for enlisted Airmen toearn college degrees, specifically aCCAF degree. Currently, 24 per-cent of AFMC's enlisted Airmenhave earned degrees throughCCAF, and our goal is to increase

this by 10 percent in 2011.With 67 degrees in fivegeneral areas, CCAF pro-vides career-specific edu-cation for enhanced per-formance as techniciansand noncommissionedofficers.

YoCCAF will employa direct approach -- indi-vidual bases will desig-nate mentors to contactAirmen face-to-face toshare the importance ofeducation in their ownlives and the benefits to the entireAir Force. Although YoCCAF willtarget E-4 to E-7, I encourage all

Airmen to seek addition-al education regardless ofrank. Formal educationafter high school is a pathto promotion and person-al development for enlist-ed Airmen, and a com-modity highly valued inall Air Force members.

Even the wisest mind hassomething more to learn.

Chief Master Sgt. of theAir Force James A. Roysaid, “Airmen are to betrained, educated, and have

the experience (depth) to carry outthe mission.” Our Air Force is con-fronted with great challenges and

considerable fiscal constraints, butthe solutions are right here. Theyare in the new recruits, in theAirmen we supervise, and insideeach one of us. Through continu-ing education we can unlock ideasto create efficiencies, conservevaluable resources, and inspireinnovation.

Whether for promotion, qualifi-cation for a special duty, or person-al improvement, I encourage allAFMC Airmen to make time foreducation. Add educational goalsto your list of New Year resolu-tions for 2011 and keep learning --the future of the Air Force dependson it!

SPEEDERS IN TURNER PARKI am sending this e-mail because I am con-

cerned about the children in our neighborhood(Turner Park). I moved on base 1 1/2 yearsago, and since moving here I have witnessedseveral speeders in my neighborhood. I havespoken with, Hunt, wing safety, and securityforces and the speeders still persist. These arenot the “bad day” or “emergency” speeders;these are habitual every day speeders.

I was standing in my front yard sayinggoodbye to a friend with her 3 year old, 18month old, my daughter (11) and my husbandwhen yet another speeder went by my house.I moved closer to the road in an attempt toslow down the driver, but the driver sped by asif he was on a road with no limits. I did call inthis driver and gave the license, make andmodel of the offending vehicle.

I have requested extra patrols around 6:20a.m. because the high school and middleschool bus riders have to cross a very busystreet, in the dark, to get to our bus stop at themail boxes. I have also requested extra patrols

around 4 p.m. for afternoon elementary busriders return. I have not seen the requestedpatrol.

A common answer to why it is difficult tocorrect this speeding issue is the lack of speedlimit signs. From my understanding, the AFIhas a regulation stating base housing speedwith and without children. I would think thatalone is enough notice of appropriate speedwithin a neighborhood.

I understand security forces is entrustedwith a great deal of responsibility in order toensure mission success, but I am very con-cerned a child will get hit by a speeder and Iwould never be able to forgive myself if I did-n't speak up.

COL. BUHLER RESPONDS:Thank you for bringing your concern to

my attention. I have contacted Lt. Col.Thomas Morea, 78th Security ForcesSquadron commander, about this situation.

Our defenders in security forces are active-ly enforcing the laws on Robins, to include

law enforcement patrols in the three housingareas.

Additionally, security forces are randomlyconducting speed enforcement to protect the27,000-plus personnel who enter the installa-tion during the work week. To assist in reduc-ing speeds, a speed cart has been placed with-in the Turner Park housing area.

Additionally, security forces will increasethe number of patrols in the housing areas dur-ing the times you provided.

The Robins Air Force Base Supplementfor Motor Vehicle Traffic Supervision statesthe speed limit in all military housing areas is15 mph and 10 mph when children are pres-ent. Signs posting these speed limits are locat-ed conspicuously to alert drivers of the speedlimit. However, we ask all drivers to remainalert and cognizant of the posted speed.

Last, if a suspected speeder or a motorvehicle infraction occurs, please contact theBase Defense Operations Center at 468-2187and, if possible, provide the license plate num-ber, color, make, and model of the vehicle.
