Sailors' Personal Data Found on Website
For the second time in recent weeks, personal information on Navy personnel has been found on a public website. Personal information on more than 100,000 Navy and Marine Corps aviators and aircrew was discovered and removed recently from the Naval Safety Center publicly available website at http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/. The personal information was also inadvertently included on 1,083 disks that the Navy mailed to Navy and Marine Corps commands. The Navy is working quickly to notify affected individuals by letter. The Navy Personnel Command (NPC) call center in Millington, Tenn. has set up a call center at 1-866-827-5672 to be manned 24 hours a day to assist affected personnel.
Center for Women Veterans
The mission of the Center for Women Veterans is to ensure that women veterans have access to VA benefits and services on par with male veterans and that VA programs are responsive to gender-specific needs of women veterans. The Center regularly monitor changes VA-wide and assess the impact these changes may have on the delivery of services to homeless women with children, rural and elderly women veterans, and minority women veterans. For more information on the Center, and to download the free pocket guide "Women Veterans - 25 Frequently Asked Questions," visit the Center for Women Veterans website.
Museum Displays Air Force Heritage
The Laughlin Heritage Foundation Museum in Del Rio, Texas is run by a small group of dedicated people -- many with extensive ties to the Air Force through past military and civil service. The museum does not have any aircraft yet, but displays include an engine from a U-2, a seal from Laughlin's old flight control tower and small-scale models of past aircraft. Newspaper clippings and maps adorn the walls throughout the two-room area. Items in the museum cover many different eras of Air Force history. Since opening six months ago, the space is filling up quickly. The lack of paid employees limits the museum's operating hours to three hours on Saturdays.
