Volume XXX Number 4&5 May-June 2016

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Governor Pete Ricketts was our May speaker. He brought

out the largest crowd, over 70 attendees, in recent memory.

After being presented his certificate

designating him as an honorary

chapter member, Governor Ricketts

presented Lt Col Pat Jones, USAF

(Ret), with the certificate

recognizing him as a 5-Star Harris

Communications Award signed by

our new CEO, Lt Gen Dana Adkins.

Governor Ricketts began his presentation by discussing the highlights of his first

16 months in office. This included state-wide property tax reform, creating job

descriptions for members of his administration, and redirecting the Department of

Roads to consider the drivers who use the roads as their “customers” rather than

quality of the highway. The Governor also played a key

role in supporting the new runway for Offutt AFB and

travelled to Washington with two prominent members of

the STRATCOM Consultation Committee to meet with

the Nebraska congressional delegation and key

members of the Department of Defense. He notes that

he continues to have a monthly meeting with the

Nebraska delegation to monitor progress on the runway.

From his days of managing in the private sector,

Governor Ricketts has instilled a “process improvement”

mentality throughout his administration that is resulting in reduced costs. Last

year, State spending had increased by 3.6%; this year the increases are running

about ½ of the previous year. The Governor took several questions including one

on our quest for a tax exemption on military retired pay. A supporter of such an

exemption, he noted that it is very important to have the support of the Revenue

Committee to make this a reality. The Governor also noted it took 33 votes in the

Unicameral to stop a filibuster but only 30 votes to override a governor’s veto.

Asked what was the best part of his job, he replied that talking to

the different groups of 4th

graders who visit the Unicameral.

Governor Ricketts was very impressive as he demonstrated a

thorough knowledge of the issues facing the State and a very

effective speaking style. Many attendees commented to me that

this was a wonderful meeting and we are lucky to have such a

remarkable governor.

Our April speaker was Colonel Mathew Joganich, Commander of

the 55th

Wing Mission Support Group. Col Joganich is a career

civil engineering officer and has had multiple and varied

assignments, including a Pentagon tour, in his 22 years of service. His last

assignment was Air Force Central’s Director of Installations at Al Udeid Air Base,

Qatar. He assumed command of the MSG in July 2014.

After giving his prepared remarks on the missions and

challenges he faces, Col Joganich responded to several

questions. Some concerned the projected runway repair

project. The decision to decide the scope of the project

will determine how long the repairs will take. The

decision to not repair the Capehart pool was a difficult

one but the cost to repair it was prohibitive. Asked about

the future of Building 500 after the new STRATCOM

building is complete, Col Jagonich noted that is some

uncertainty as that facility is some 50 years old and much of the cooling and

electrical systems would need updating. Col Joganich’s pleasant demeanor and

knowledge of Offutt AFB made this an informative and well-received presentation.

I left for Washington and the annual MOAA Storming the Hill on April 10th

. The

highlight of my trip took place on Thursday, August 14th

, with the announcement

that our newsletter was a recipient of the 5-Star Harris Communications Award.

Many of us have long known we have a superior publication because of the

continued excellent work of our newsletter editor, Lt Colonel Patrick L. Jones,

USAF (Ret). Congratulations Pat!

I am happy to announce that Colonel Lou Zuccarello, USAF (Ret) has volunteered

to become our new Membership Chair. I also want to thank Marty Didamo, our

Chapter Secretary, for her wonderful assistance in performing membership

functions.

Legislative Report

(by Col Dan Donovan USAF(Ret), Chapter President)

I participated in National MOAA’s “Storming the Hill” on April 13th

. I flew into

Reagan Airport on the non-stop Southwestern flight Sunday, April 10th

, to spend

time with my daughter Kelly and family who now live in Arlington. On Monday,

Kelly dropped me off at the Alexandria hotel and the welcoming dinner. The next

day, Tuesday, included MOAA Partners’

presentations, including the DoD State Liaison

Office, PenFed, and USAA. After lunch, we were

joined by our storming partners and received

“Storming” preparation briefings. Once again, I

was partnered with Charlene French, MOAA’s

Deputy Director of Finance. The two issues we

were to discuss were the “Widow’s Tax” and the

proposed changes to Tricare. The “Widow’s Tax”

is the VA Dependent Indemnity Compensation

(DIC) which goes to spouses of deceased active

duty members and those who die of service-

connected injuries in retirement and amounts to about $15,000 per year to a

surviving spouse. This amount offsets the Survivors Benefit Plan (SBP),

essentially an insurance, which results in a much smaller monthly payment to a

surviving spouse. The cost of fixing this would be $7 Billion. In 2008, lawmakers

recognized this inequity and authorized a Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance

(SSIA), an additional monthly payment that is currently $275 per month and will

rise to $310 in FY 2017. However, the authority to pay SSIA will expire on

October 1, 2017. Legislation has been introduced to repeal the offset and to at

least continue SSIA. The other issue, Disproportional

TRICARE Fee Hikes, is proposed in the 2017 Defense

Budget. It would significantly change TRICARE as

we know it and include means-tested and increasing

enrollment fees. Additionally, the proposed fees

would increase based on the quickly rising Health

Index (currently 5.2%) annually rather than the much

smaller COLAs. Following this preparation meeting,

members were bussed to the Capitol for the Marix

Awards.

The next morning, Charlene and I took a cab to the Dirksen Senate Building for

the 8:00 am Nebraska Breakfast where the entire delegation would be present.

Cong. Ashford arrived early and introduced me to his Chief of Staff, former State

Senator Jeremy Nordquist. Other Nebraskans there included Lt Gen Kadavy,

Director of the Army National Guard and Father Steve Tomlinson, a former staffer

Lorraine Purdum, Col David Wolfe,

and Suzanne Stevens

Rick Waxman, Jeff Mikesell, Don

Bacon, and Ron Russell having a

good discussion.

in Congress and now a priest and a member of the Nebraska National Guard who

would be the House Chaplain that day.

Following the breakfast, Senator Ben Sasse sat

down with us and we went over our two issues and

the excellent materials that MOAA had provided.

The senator was accompanied by his National

Security Adviser, Klon Kitchen, who remained with

us for an extended discussion. Prior to working for

Senator Sasse, Klon had been an instructor at the

National War College. Charlene and I then

proceeded to Senator Deb Fischer’s office where we met with the Senator and

her Military Legislative Assistant, Peter Schirtzinger. As a member of the Senate

Armed Service Committee, the Senator was interested in our views and in

reviewing the information we left with Peter.

Charlene and I then walked from the Senate side to the House side and the

Longworth Building to see Congressman Jeff Fortenberry. Since the

congressman was not available, we met with his Senior Advisor, Patty Sheetz.

We discussed the issues with her and went over the brochures we had on both

issues. We then proceeded to the Cannon Building and were able to meet

Congressman Brad Ashford, 30 minutes earlier than our scheduled time. A

member of the House Armed Services Committee,

Congressman Ashford seemed very supportive of our two

issues. As we finished discussing the second issue, he

was called to the floor of Congress for a vote. It was

then to the Rayburn Building and Congressman Adrian

Smith. In my previous five “storming’s,” I had met with

one of his staffers. This time, Congressman Smith gave

us 25 minutes of his time. He seemed supportive of both

issues, especially when told there are 363 surviving

spouses in Nebraska who are subject to the Widows’ Tax and that there are

problems with access to medical care for TRICARE beneficiaries in rural areas.

That evening we attended the Council President’s Dinner. The speaker was

Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina who has introduced legislation to

continue SSIA beyond FY 17.Col Dan Donovan --- d.donovan1@cox.net -- 402-339-7888

Funding Your Business (MOAA Spousal News-10 May 2016)

(About the Author - Hannah Becker is an author, entrepreneur, professor, and military spouse. She currently

journey at: http://www.themotivatedmillennial.com/.)

Entrepreneurship is becoming quite the trend in today’s military community. With

the coined term “vetrepreneurs” trending on social media and self-employment

recognized as one of the most viable career options for today’s military spouse,

entrepreneurship is a military-community trend that is here to stay.

Launching a successful business requires a long list of resources — people,

money, time, and education. Good news: members of the military community have

access to a variety of specialized resources for their entrepreneurial enterprise.

If outside funding is necessary to get your entrepreneurial brainchild off the

ground, be sure to check out these military-friendly resources:

Crowdfunding - Crowdfunding platforms can provide an alternative to traditional

commercial financing, as its unique structure circumvents traditional financial

institutions and commercial investors in favor of the entrepreneur’s community.

Instead of requiring an Small Business Administration-consultant endorsed

business plan, successful crowdfunding strategy calls for a compelling three to

five minute pitch video and savvy social media skills to rally support for your

startup. While there are many crowdfunding platforms available, MilitaryStarter is

exclusively available to the military community (veterans and their families).

Peer-to-Peer Lending - Military-community specific peer-to-peer lending platforms

such as Street Shares provide alternative financing opportunities to veteran and

military spouse entrepreneurs. Unique ways of setting interest rates favorable to

start-up cash flow, translating military experience to trust in veteran capabilities,

and entrepreneur individuality that is presented to peer lenders can result in

startup financing options. The approval process for peer-to-peer lending options

is often much less cumbersome than traditional financing routes (Street Shares

touts a 10-minute application process) and often offers unsecured options (e.g.:

risking your family home as collateral is NOT a requirement).

Entrepreneurship Boot Camps - Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and

Military Families offers Entrepreneurship Boot Camp for Veterans’ Families (EBV-

F) at multiple locations across the country. Employing a hybrid structure —

online and on location-based information delivery — EBV-F focuses on providing

9

today’s military community with the resources necessary to turn their business

dream into a successful reality. While EBV-F doesn’t directly provide business

funding to military entrepreneurs, its program assists entrepreneurs with

identifying available financing options and building strong networks. Another

entrepreneur education opportunity worth looking into is Techstars’ Patriot Boot Camp

— a free, three-day seminar available to veterans and spouses.

Startup Competitions - The once novel startup competitions are becoming more

and more the norm in today’s entrepreneurial circles. Colleges and universities,

publically traded companies, and national entrepreneur organizations are

organizing startup competitions featuring entrepreneurs within the military

community. Even ABC’s hit show Shark Tank offers veteran and military-spouse

owned businesses a chance to showcase their entrepreneurial expertise on

military-exclusive episodes. Recent veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs

competing on Shark Tank include: R.Riveter (owner Cameron Cruse was recently

featured in the Never Stop Serving section of Military Officer magazine), Major Mom,

Combat Flip Flops, and BearTek. Pitch competitions like Shark Tank can provide

startups with investor access and brand publicity not available through other

lending and networking opportunities.

Conclusion - Starting your own business can be a daunting endeavor. While many

resources are required to successfully launch a new business, start-up capital

and early stage cash flow often are considered the lifeblood of a young venture.

If entrepreneurship is on your horizon, check out these startup financing

resources available to entrepreneurial members of the military community.

Survivor Benefit Update (MOAA’s LtCol Shane Ostrom, May 2016)

Beneficiary Change Open Season Now Open to change a deceased Former

Spouse SBP beneficiary to a Current Spouse beneficiary.

reason for discontinued former spouse coverage is eligible.

DFAS has identified retirees and notified by mail those they believe meet these

eligibility standards. If you are eligible but did not get a DFAS letter, take action

10

to notify DFAS yourself. Call, write, or fax DFAS to let them know you meet the

coverage option. SBP coverage with the current spouse is effective:

The month after the first-year anniversary of the remarriage if the

remarriage occurred after the former spouse’s death OR

The month after the death of the former spouse if the remarriage was

already past the first-year anniversary at the time of death.

The open season closes 24 November 2016.

Reserved Parking NOW Available !!

(no one thought it would ever happen…). Though many of us need to park closer to the door because

of medical limitations, handicapped parking is very limited at Anthony’s. (and there is no assurance

that those limited number of spaces are really being used by authorized drivers; This editor has

personally twice seen young apparently healthy drivers park in those slots with no handicap display)

BUT, our erstwhile dinner planners have done it!!! WE NOW HAVE TWO SPACES !!!

Read & heed the info below – pj

We have two "reserved parking" signs we'll be using at Anthony's from now on. The reserved parking

spaces are for our mobility- limited members, on a first come, first served basis. Use of these spaces will

be on the honor system to help our members who need to park as close to the entrance as possible due to

medically-related conditions. The MOAA reserved parking space locations will vary from month to

month due to the other events hosted by Anthony's. We will attempt to find spaces as close to the

Anthony's main entrance as possible but members will need to look for our reserved spaces. The signs

are mounted on orange cones and will be placed at the entrance of the parking space. The driver or

passenger must move the sign to the far end to allow the car entry. Please bring the reserved sign in

with you and give to Ron & Sharon. That reduces the risk of thievery and misuse by

“others” . – Three cheers for Ron & Sharon Russell

May They Not Be Forgotten:

I mean the men and women who have answered the call and paid the ultimate price so that we and future generations could have the freedoms so cherished by human beings. We must ever be vigilant and prepared to defend our way of life against those who would deny it. Callous politicians, power hungry egoists, corrupt individuals, adversarial religions, and even our latest self-oriented generations pose grave threat to the preservation of what many take for granted. Every citizen should take a few moments from time to time and reflect on the benefits we have in our country. They should give thanks to those who have served and preserved our way of life.

Hopefully, they will also pledge to do their part to keep it so. – pj ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Wandering Mind of An Old Retired Guy

So…. When is “Old enough to know better” supposed to happen?

I’m not lazy, I just REALLY enjoy doing nothing!

I speak my mind… because it hurts to bite my tongue all the time!

Don’t confuse my personality with my attitude... My personality is who I am…

My attitude depends entirely on how you treat me!

Sometimes I sit quietly and wonder why I’m not in a mental asylum…

Then I took a look around at what is going on today, and realize, Maybe I already Am!

My grandfather gave me good advice on how to handle stress…

Calm Down…. And take a deep breath…. And hold it for 20 minutes!!

It always worked…. Things soon looked better pretty quickly!

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.
