In the past, this reporter has been accosted by several people around the squadron, who wanted to know the honest truth about this "under 25 years of age insurance" rumor. So...I did the only logical thing; called Tom Ardies, the Governor's Press Secretary. Tom checked into this and gave the following information.

The original rumor was that no one under 25 years of age could insure a car over 4 years old. It just ain't that way. The fact is, about three months ago, the Guam Insurance Commissioner gave permission to all the island insurance agents to raise the price of insurance premiums approximately 15%. Now that's not for everbody, mind you, but just us poor immature souls who happen to be under 25.

Friends, this affects a lot of people, especially the military, but I suppose that's why it was done. After all would you enact a money-making idea if it didn't include a lot of ripe victims? However, don't feel too bad fellas... my insurance expires in August, and I'll be down there paying through my nose with the rest of you.

How'dja like to be a flight engineer? You'll enjoy all the additional prestiege and responsibility of being one of the most important crew members. Plus you'll be filled with satisfaction of playing and intergral part in VW-1.

The squadron needs good, qualified men to apply for Flight Engineer's School. Requirements are: (1) You must be 2nd class, however, a few select 3rd classes who are up for 2nd will be considered: (2) GCT/ARI combination of at least 100. (3) Be in the ADR, AMH, AMS, or AE rating. To apply, submit a special request chit through you division officer. The school is 13 weeks long and covers math, physics, and C-121 systems. Upon completion of the school, you enter the OFT phase, lasting about 3 to 4 weeks. Then it's off to flight training.

Sound like a good job? It is. For more information contact Chief Robinson, Chief Perry, or Chief Raleigh at Maintenance Training School at 445151. This is an excellent opportunity to better yourself and at the same time earn lots of extra pay, such as flight pay, combat pay, etc. And to make this opportunity even more enticing, the squadron is currently trying to arrange for all flight engineers to receive Pro Pay.
