AFNWCA  wins Air Force award
The Air Force Nuclear Weapons and Counterproliferation Agency has been won the Air Force Organizational Excellence Award for its work from Oct. 1, 2003 to Sept. 30, 2005.

Subordinate units assigned directly to parent organizations can share in these awards provided the parent organization identified them as eligible and they contact the parent organization for verification.

Airmen assigned to these units during the specified periods should report to their military personnel flight career enhancement section to have their unit awards updated to their records. 

CAC, ID card wait times increase
Personnel may experience longer waiting times for common access cards and other identification cards for the next few months due to a recent software upgrade.

Defense Manpower Data Center will be providing another upgrade by the fall that should resolve most of the current software problems. In the meantime, waits could average anywhere from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours.

If you require a CAC or other ID card, please be aware that there are normally longer waiting times the first two duty days of the month due to personnel who have been promoted getting new CACs.

For organizations that have 10 or more personnel needing CACs at the same time, it is recommended no more than two people be sent over every half hour to keep the waiting times down for them and for everyone else who comes over for CACs or ID cards.

Please direct any questions about delays to customer service at 853-0698 or 846-5459. 

Legal office closes
The base legal office will be closed March 14-15 for a staff assistance visit.
