Error in KC Convention Registration Form in American Submariner ================================================================= Submitted by: Nolan Beatty, Convention Coordinator ================================================================= Due to an unfortunate "snafu", the latest issue of American Submariner magazine contains an outdated and incorrect version of the convention registration form instead of the form I provided to Mr. Terrel for publication. Please do NOT use the form that was mistakenly published in the latest issue of American Submariner (which you just received). INSTEAD, use the form posted on the convention website: http://www.tjcsubbase.org/convention/registration_form1.pdf Note: that's an underscore (_) in between the word "registration" and "form". The Convention website will ALWAYS have the latest forms and other information about the convention: http://www.tjcsubbase.org/convention/ Kindest regards, Nolan Beatty Convention Coordinator Kansas City - 2005 ================================================================= Item 02 ....

VA News - New VA Benefits Handbook Available / Tricare Updates ================================================================= Submitted by: John Dudas, Veterans Affairs Committee Chair ================================================================= NEW VA BENEFITS HANDBOOK AVAILABLE A new edition of the popular handbook "Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents" by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) updates the rates for certain federal payments and outlines a variety of programs and benefits for American veterans. Most of the nation's 25 million veterans qualify for some VA benefits, which range from health care to burial in a national cemetery. In addition to describing benefits provided by VA, the 2005 edition of the 120-page booklet provides an overview of programs and services for veterans provided by other federal agencies. Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents includes resources to help veterans access their benefits, with a listing of toll-free phone numbers, Internet addresses and a directory of VA facilities throughout the country. The handbook can be downloaded free from the VA's Website at: http://www1.va.gov/opa/feature/ http://www.ussvi.org/veterans/vet-2005/050424a.htm TRICARE UPDATES TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who live within a 40-mile radius of a military medical treatment facility (MTF) will no longer be required to obtain a non-availability statement or pre-authorization from an MTF before receiving inpatient care (other than mental health services) or maternity care from a civilian provider http://www.ussvi.org/veterans/vet-2005/050424b.htm USSVI Web Pages Updated: http://www.ussvi.org/veterans/top.htm ================================================================= Item 04 ....
