The more than 2,800 Soldiers of the 50th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) are proudly wearing a new patch that was affixed to their Army Combat Uniform (ACU) during a ceremony on Wednesday at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa. The sound of Velcro releasing the Rainbow patch of the 42nd Infantry Division filled the air near the barracks where the Soldiers have been sleeping since March 28.

The new design incorporates the history of the “Jersey Blues” highlighting the Infantry, Armor and Field Artillery history of the unit and features three stars to show New Jersey was the third state to ratify the Constitution.

Today and tomorrow the Soldiers will be returning to their respective armories completing three weeks annual training, part of the pre-mobilization requirement for their scheduled deployment starting in mid-June.

Thursday, April 24 is the day everyone will see lots of new faces around the buildings of DMAVA.  Of course the faces will belong to the sons and daughters of the men and women who work here everyday since it is “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.”  The theme for the 2008 event is “Making Choices for a Better World.”

This annual event began more than 15 years ago as “Take Our Daughters to Work” and has changed into daughters and sons to better serve our children.

This year DMAVA’s children will take a guided tour of the Battleship New Jersey Museum site, which will include lunch, 4D flight simulator ride and a scavenger hunt.  There are costs associated with the tour and parents/guardians are required to incur all costs associated with the trip.

To obtain a release form, confirmation slip and other information about the event, contact Dorinda Sapp, Affirmative Action Officer, 609-530-6828.  Confirmation and fees must be into the office no later than Friday, April 18.

The Trenton Thunder baseball team and its community partner, the Trenton Vet Center, have collaborated to sponsor reduced ticket prices for veterans and their families during the 2008 Trenton Thunder baseball season.

A regular $10 ticket has been reduced to $7 for veterans and their family members.

• &  Military I.D. card.

WASHINGTON - Some members of the National Guard and the Reserves who serve on active duty will see a significant increase in their educational benefits, thanks to improvements announced today by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

"Reservists and National Guardsmen who serve multiple tours on active duty may get an increase in their educational benefits, in keeping with the value of their service to our nation," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake.

Under new provisions, members who accumulate three years on active duty, regardless of breaks in service, may be eligible for the maximum payment under the Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP).  Previously, reservists and guardsmen had to serve two continuous years on active duty to receive the highest payment.

The new eligibility rules are retroactive to October, 1, 2007.  The top payment under REAP is currently $880.80 per month. 

The new law, part of the National Defense Authorization Act, also expands the period of eligibility for certain Guard and Reserve members who complete their service obligation before separation from the selected reserve.

Members meeting these criteria may be eligible to use REAP benefits for a period of ten years following discharge.  Benefits typically end upon separation for members who do not complete their full, obligated service.

Additionally, some REAP-eligible National Guard and Reserve members may now make an extra contribution to the Department of Defense to increase their monthly benefit rates.

Service members receive an additional $5 per month for each $20 contributed. With the maximum $600 contribution, this option can add up to $5,400 to a member's total 36-month education benefit package.

Beginning on October 1, 2008, participants in REAP and the Montgomery GI Bill program for the Selected Reserve who pursue non-degree programs lasting less than two years may also be eligible to receive accelerated payments.

During FY 2007, more than 60,000 National Guardsmen and reservists were paid under REAP, more than 41,000 were paid under the Montgomery GI Bill program for the Selected Reserves, and approximately 344,000 participants were paid under the Montgomery GI Bill for active-duty members.

For more information on changes to VA's GI Bill benefits, go to www.GIBILL.va.gov or contact VA directly at 1-888-GIBILL1 (or 1-888-442-4551).

The Blue Star Flag first appeared in 1917, when Capt. Robert L. Queissner, who had two sons serving on the front line, designed it as a tribute to their dedication and service.  He proudly displayed this flag in the front window of his home and the flag quickly became the unofficial symbol of a child in the service.  Also known as a Service Flag, the blue star stands for hope and pride.  Order a complimentary Blue Star Flag to honor your loved ones in the service by visiting: www.grantham.edu/promo/freebluestar.php.

Soldiers or Airmen (Army and Air Guard) and their significant others are encouraged to attend one of the upcoming Strong Bonds.  Soldiers will attend in a paid SUTA status and all expenses are paid.  These seminars have been extremely successful and are designed to strengthen relationships. The cost of the hotel and meals and literature are paid for by NGB.

The seminars are not therapy sessions or encounter groups nor are they for sharing your personal concerns. The seminars are conducted by the state chaplains' office and begin with teaching effective communication skills, address problem resolution strategies that work and teach how to discover the hidden issues in every relationship.  The program then moves into friendship, forgiveness, fun and sensuality. 

If you are interested in attending or need additional information, please call Marie Durling at 609-562-0739 or e-mail marie.durling@nj.ngb.army.mil.

These seminars usually fill up fast, so if interested, please call as soon as possible. The next seminar will be May 2-4 at the Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, N.J. (This weekend is currently full.) I am also planning another Strong Bonds weekend May 30-June 1. This is for Soldiers and Airmen who have not attended a Marriage Enrichment Seminar in the past.
