HelpUsCommunicateOurMessageThe chapter is on the lookout for more individuals to work with on the communica ons side of things.

Here is what we are looking for:

Newsle er ‐ Looking for anyone willing to work on ar cles and provide content for all chapter/division/

interna onal ac vi es. Newsle er will be produced on a monthly basis.

Twi er ‐ Have a smart phone and want to get involved? We need a couple people to work the twi er

page and tweet up to date legisla on, chapter events, etc.

YouTube ‐ Be able to work with our video development team to come out with any training aids,

briefings, and events that go on with the chapter.

Website ‐ We have a couple of individuals already on the web design team but always looking for more to

work with it. Content updaters are extremely important and too much of a task for one or two to handle.

Pinterest ‐ Would like to discuss the possibility of using this for the chapter.

Marke ng ‐ Create flyers, brochures, PowerPoints, and general paraphernalia associated to recrui ng,

reten ons, and ge ng the word out.

SharePoint ‐ ensuring that the SharePoint page is up to date and current with all files and documents

while providing a good base for project management.

If you’re interested in joining AFSA to help any of these projects, send an email to Alexander Rosales.

COLABillActionbySenate

The Senate Armed Services Commi ee (SASC) will soon mark up legisla on to end reduc ons in cost‐of‐

living (COLA) allowances for working age military re rees. Some reports say it could happen as early as

February 6, while others point to early next week. We suspect it will be the la er. More than a dozen

bills pending in the House and Senate seek to reverse the unpopular COLA cuts and there are an equal

number of proposals on how best to pay for the change. Most lawmakers agree that the COLA reduc‐

ons were a bad idea but the s cking point has been how any correc ve legisla on would be fund‐

ed. We understand the bill up for considera on in the SASC does not include an offset for the $6 billion

fix, which makes us wonder about its long term viability. At a minimum, considera on of any bill is a

posi ve step forward and likely to spur a lot discussion on the ma er

broke into working groups to explore the different

love dialects within each love language. All in all, the
