MILITARY NEWS AND NOTES Smart Steps In A Military Move (NAPSI)—According to Department of Defense data, about one in three military personnel moves every year. If you‘re among them this year, heeding 18 hints can help make the move smoother: Ahead Of Time • First, schedule your move by making an appointment with the military base property transportation office. • Inform the base landlord or housing office of your departure and arrival. • Estimate how big a truck you’ll need and reserve it. • Get boxes and supplies for packing. • Pack out-of-season and non-essential items early. • Lighten your load. Donate unwanted items to charity or hold a garage sale. • Consider travel arrangements for any pets. • Make copies of medical records, birth certificates and so on. Store all needed documents in one place. • Change your address with the post office, banks, credit card companies and magazines.
• Call service providers and utilities to schedule turn-on. • Secure moving-day help. • Work with companies that understand each military branch‘s different rules and regulations, especially if you‘re involved in a quick turnaround move made with little notice. Penske Truck Rental, for example, has a specialized toll-free call center at (844) 4TROOPS ((844) 487-6677) to assist active and veteran members of the U.S. military and their families with do-it-yourself moves. All call center associates are either veterans themselves or have a family member who has been or is currently in active or reserve duty. To make your move easier, the company not only provides great trucks at over 2,000 convenient locations, it has a military discount of 10 percent. If you book your rental online, you‘ll save an additional 10 percent automatically. Plus, Penske will match any competitive offer on one-way truck rentals for active military personnel or veterans. What‘s more, it‘s the only national truck rental company with free unlimited miles on one-way rentals anywhere in the United States. • Pick up your rental truck the day before to save time on moving day. Moving Day • Finish packing, taping and labeling boxes. • Prepare major appliances and electronics for the move. • Secure dresser drawers and appliance doors with rope and tape. • Assemble a moving-day kit, including directions, map, GPS, checkbook, credit cards, military and other IDs, eyeglasses, sunglasses, prescription drugs, flashlight, water, snacks, games for kids, and old and new house keys. • Watch your weight. Since a military do-ityourself move requires that you weigh your vehicle before you load it and after, Penske offers a free Certified Public Scale Locator to make finding a scale easier.

Jeb makes it official: ‗I‘m a candidate for president‘ Jeb Bush formally announced his bid for the White House on Monday with a speech that sought to tie Hillary Clinton closely to Barack Obama and his policies. “I‟m a candidate for president of the United States of America,” Bush, 62, said in an address at Miami Dade College. Bush suggested that Clinton would be untested in the Democratic primary, and that if she won her party's nomination she would represent President Obama's third term. “I, for one, am not eager to see what another four years would look like under that kind of leadership," Bush said to roaring applause from a crowd that included his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush. "The presidency should not be passed on from one liberal to the next. "The party now in the White House is planning a no-suspense primary, for a no-change election. To hold onto power. To slog on with the same agenda under another name: That‟s our opponents‟ call to action this time

...and what is in your stars this week? ARIES March 21-April 19 Give yourself a pat on the back, Aries. This week is likely to give birth to some serious insights that you need to run with. With Mercury finally doing what it does best (moving forward, that is), you are about ready to connect the dots and see the whole picture. Don‟t let what you don‟t know distract you from working with the clarity you‟ve garnered. Trust what you‟re able to see, and let the rest develop in it‟s time. It‟s time to grow big, friend. TAURUS April 20-May 20 It‟d be real easy to let all the things that are wrong in the world and in your relationships get you down. There‟s plenty of stuff that sucks, and you have the right to feel bad about it. But here‟s the thing: falling apart or running away won‟t help you, not one bit. You may have to deal with disappointments, but there‟s a bigger picture you shouldn‟t lose sight of. Look for opportunities to spread your wings and be more true to yourself. Be authentically you to make the most of what‟s happening this week. GEMINI May 21-June 21 You can‟t fix everything you‟d prefer to, and you can‟t know what‟s coming next. It‟s a bummer. What you do this week is not as important as your attitude, Twin Star. Understand that your fears and misgivings are reflecting your ego more than they‟re foreshadowing what‟s to come. Resist the urge to be defensive in the face of hardship. Yield to it so that you can understand what you‟re really scared of, and cope with that, pal. CANCER June 22-July 22 If you gather up your willpower and ready yourself for some deep work, you can avoid burning yourself out before you get anywhere, Moonchild. Not all of the work before you will be a hardship, but it won‟t all be adventure either. Do the groundwork necessary to align yourself with your primary motives so that in the face of all the little things you have to deal with, you can stay true to your larger picture. Patience, persistence, and clarity of vision will bring you where you need to go this week. LEO July 23-Aug. 22 Sometimes you don‟t get what you want, even when you super duper deserve it. You have come to the end of a road, Leo, and it‟s time to check in with your instincts to see what you want next. When you look at your goals, do you know what is motivating you to have them? Or do you have healthy and up-to-date reasons for where you‟ve set your sights? Be open to seeing things differently, so you can move through this process with grace. VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Make friends with the present moment, Virgo. Even if the conditions you‟re in suck, there‟s no use in trying to ice out reality or in denying what‟s real. Acceptance is not defeat, it‟s the necessary springboard from which you can make informed choices. Don‟t wait for things to get better before you strike out; push yourself forward to make them better now, dear one! Collaborate with people and participate in the situations you‟re in to advance things to where you want „em to be. LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 The line between being a selfish jerk and treating your self like a priority can be foggy sometimes. When the people around you are used to you putting their needs first, they can get pretty bent out of shape when you don‟t do it. it‟s not that they‟re (necessarily) jerks, it‟s that you have created certain expectations through your long-standing behavior; so when you change, folks may not like it. Oh well. If you are finally taking care of yourself, you‟re bound to ruffle some feathers; but don‟t let it stop you, Libra. SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 It‟s hard to be in a power struggle with someone who won‟t bite. Even if you feel that you‟re fighting for peace, once you engage in b-s, you‟re gonna stink, Scorpio. Maintain your equilibrium as hardheaded Saturn returns to your sign for one more stomp around. Participate in ways that reflect who you are and how you want to be in the world; and let others think, feel, and do as they will. All you‟re responsible for is your own part. SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Stress and anxiety are the worst. They mess up your intuition, incline you to see mountains when you‟re looking at molehills, and make everything feel dire. Strive to develop stronger relationship between self-care and fear, Sag. That‟ll require you to be a better, more caring friend to yourself. I know you have stuff to do and it may feel like you don‟t have enough time to do it, but being a bully to yourself is not a sustainable way to get things done. Align with why before you get to how this week. CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Are you ready to change your attitudes? You can stall all you like, but it‟s not necessary to struggle so much, Cappy. The stress you bring to situations is making what would otherwise be some rough patches into major life travails. Be brave! Show up already having decided to do and be your best. Show up willing, my friend. You know what and how you need to change. Now figure out how to start, and the rest will flow from there. AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 Sometimes it‟s just too much. The world is crazy! There‟s so much to do, and it never all gets done. This week you‟re on call to nurture your soul. Seek ways of supporting yourself while you go through trials, no matter how big or small they are. Look for connections this week that link your heart to your strategies for survival. That may mean that things go slower than you‟d like or that you think you‟re wasting time, but I promise that it‟ll make the journey so much better. PISCES Feb. 19-March 20 Sure, Pisces, you‟ve got to trust in your self, but are you trustworthy? It‟s unrealistic to trust a person when they don‟t consistently have your back; how can you soothe your self if you know, when push comes to shove, you wont stand up for your own needs? Be true to your heart of hearts. Stand up and stand tall, and honor your right to be wherever and whatever you are. Be a good friend to yourself this week.

What is a Cornish game hen?
How old was Henry VIII when he became king? Henry was just shy of 18 years old when he became king, and had been preparing for it from the time of his older brother Arthur's death. At this age, he was not the image that we usually call to mind when we hear the name Henry VIII. He was not the overweight and ill man of his later years. In his youth, he was handsome and athletic. He was tall and had a bright red-gold cap of hair and beard, a far cry from the fat, balding and unhealthy man that is often remembered
Greenhead Training Center Jerry Teachout
Facility Owner and Operator 5491 Highway 77 CHIPLEY FL 32428
A Cornish game hen is really just a young Cornish chicken, usually 5 to 6 weeks of age, that weighs no more than 2 pounds.

Y‘all just be happy, it‘s okay to be broken, because it will always be okay.‖. They can‘t wait to see us all again in Panama City and will probably be back July 11th.
This final band is straight out of Austin, Texas! Insvrgence (Insurgence) is a heavy hardcore group and on their tour from coast to coast! They played very heavily in the Texas area and occasionally made tours to California, even though they were picked up by a label, they still book all their performances themselves. Insvrgence began 2011 with vocalist James Wendt and guitarist Rafe Holmes, the ―road ready crew‖ were all together two and a half years later, which includes Drew Walker on guitar as well, Jacob Mercado plays bass and Dave Applebaum rockin‘ the drums! They currently have out just one album called ―The Tower‖ and you can find them on Itunes and Spotify. When asked what their message would be vocalist James Wendt replied ―We are all about the message, we are trying to lock kids into seeing how our government effects us and not just getting them to vote, but to also really pay attention to what candidates are saying and what they are going once they get into office and thinking about their next vote, instead of giving up. Using our democracy instead of it use us.‖.

Watret, Emrby-Riddle Aeronautical University Interim president, said, ―Governor Scott
brings the needed credibility and energy to drive success for the Florida delegation.

Governor Scott is continuing a long tradition of attendance at the Paris Air Show as well as at the Farnborough Air Show.

It is great for the exhibitors because it shows a commitment to the small businesses that traditionally exhibit with Enterprise Florida.‖ Frank Ruggiero, vice president of sales & marketing for Future Metals LLC, said, ―The Southeastern United States has become a global hot spot for aerospace manufacturing and aircraft maintenance over the past several years.

The Pavilion is not only a chance to connect with new customers, but to solidify our Floridabased relationships and add value as the ‗world‘s leader in aviation and aerospace higher education.‘ The presence and connections created by EFI have been integral to our international relationships.

the aviation sector and to become the #1 State of aerospace job creation.

Williams, president and CEO of The Beacon Council, said, ―Governor Scott is the CEO of our state. Nothing sells Florida better than having our top level executive make the sales pitch to his counterparts in the C Suite. Aviation is one of Florida and Miami Dade‘s most important and growing industries. Governor Scott understands the importance of this industry to our community and is an outstanding advocate for its continued growth. We have collaborated closely with the Enterprise Florida team, who has helped us prepare to take full advantage of this valuable business
generation opportunity.‖ Rick Cunliffe, CEO of Discovery Aviation, Inc. – Melbourne, FL, said, ―The Paris Airshow is the most significant commercial aviation event in the world.
