The Air Force has established a new Web site for its retiree community: http://www.retirees.af.mil/. The public Web site, announced April 7, is designed to offer retirees and their families in-depth information on the Survivor Benefit Plan, plus a list of Air Force Retiree Activities Offices worldwide and additional resources. The home page also features the latest Air Force headline news and video clips. Visitors can also subscribe to the electronic version of the Afterburner retiree newsletter and Air Force Retiree News Service. There is also a special icon link for quick access to the Combat-Related Special Compensation information page.
The 55th Wing officially retired the EC-130H Compass Call aircraft in a ceremony Sept. 18 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., while the 355th Wing there retired its final A-10 Warthog, another major transition for the base.
