The men and women who volunteer to protect our country put their lives at risk every day—even during peacetime and near to home.
In an ideal world, your final wishes would remain just that: final. But in reality, dissatisfied heirs might look for any opportunity to grab what they feel they deserve.
Now more than ever, it’s essential to make a will that’s as bulletproof as possible.
“People are living longer, and their lives are getting messier,” says Stephen Hartnett, associate director of education for the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys. There’s more time for a second marriage, more time for valuables to pile up, more time for the family tree to sprout some unfamiliar branches — all of which can cloud who gets what after you’re gone.

Retirement might be the end of the line, but it doesn’t have to be the end of financial security or life satisfaction. Timing is often a primary concern with retirement, as it generally coincides with the age at which we become eligible to draw Social Security or pension benefits. Hopefully the choice will be ours and not dictated by our circumstances — the unfortunate case for nearly a third of nonretirees who haven’t put away a single penny for retirement, though not necessarily through any fault of their own.
Retiree News is sad to report that Sam Kekuna passed away on Saturday afternoon. Sam served in the 154th Maintenance Squadron from many years. We will post information about services when available.

Good Afternoon Major Hickman –
My pal Shane Seggar was nice enough to forward your contact information us here in the casting office. We are currently prepping to start filming two projects on Oahu (I’m a local Location Casting Director – Jurassic World, Godzilla, Battleship, etc) and, in addition to the Principal Casting, we will be looking for many different types to work as paid Extras. Both films have story lines that will require us to find active duty military and veterans. We always prefer to hire the “real deal!”
For your consideration, we are attaching our Open Casting Call flyer. We are hoping for a large turn out and would be very grateful for any assistance you can provide in getting the word out.
