The Defense Finance and Accounting Service says it is closely monitoring contingency procedures implemented by banks and credit unions to ensure that electronic deposits for military and defense civilians in the Hurricane Katrina impact areas get their money.

DFAS says USPS should be announcing central pickup points.
The Air Force’s senior enlisted leader told lawmakers that the service is working on 17 new on-base child care facilities to reduce a space shortfall and clear a backlog of Airmen’s children waiting for slots.
