Unit deployment manager now special duty position
This post was originally published by Joint Base Langley-Eustis - News
May 24, 2013 in Langley Air Force Base, Virginia by clevine
Unit deployment manager is now a two-year-controlled special duty assignment (identifier 8U000); a change Air Force officials say will help professionalize the position and improve deployment program continuity.
In past the UDM retained his or her Air Force specialty code, and even though UDMs were working outside of their specialty, the position counted against the number of people a unit could have in that rank and career field.
"The result was a frequently unstable situation," said Chief Master Sgt. Michael Holmquist, the Air Force UDM and Logistics Plans career field manager. "UDMs could be -- and often were -- tasked for deployment themselves, which left the unit without a UDM. Commanders had to start the selection and training process again from scratch."

A Day to Remember Heroes
This post was originally published by Vandenberg Air Force Base - Vandenberg's Top News Stories
May 23, 2013 in California, Vandenberg Air Force Base by clevine
The meaning of Memorial Day has changed for me throughout the years and I ask that you take a few minutes this weekend to think about what it means to you. When I was a kid it meant a long weekend, placing flowers and flags at the cemetery, and watching John Wayne movies with my grandpa. After I joined the Air Force, it meant sharing the bond of service with those men and women who sacrificed and came before me. Then in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 200, the meaning of Memorial Day became a lot more personal.
