00:00.270 --> 00:01.200
- Hey there everyone.

00:01.200 --> 00:03.430
I'm Airman First Class Angelo Rosario

00:03.430 --> 00:06.560
with your look around the Air Force.

00:06.560 --> 00:09.460
Following Hurricane Michael,
several important missions

00:09.460 --> 00:11.165
will resume at Tyndall Air Force Base

00:11.165 --> 00:14.660
in the next few months, and
others will temporarily shift

00:14.660 --> 00:16.010
to other locations.

00:16.010 --> 00:18.380
As the base begins it's long-term recovery

00:18.380 --> 00:21.640
all but 500 airmen will return
to the Florida panhandle.

00:21.640 --> 00:23.370
In the meantime, airmen can monitor

00:23.370 --> 00:24.730
the Tyndall Facebook page

00:24.730 --> 00:26.940
and the Air Force personnel center website

00:26.940 --> 00:29.490
for additional details
as they become available.

00:29.490 --> 00:32.440
The Air Force also announced
the temporary relocation

00:32.440 --> 00:34.671
of F-22s from Tyndall.

00:34.671 --> 00:37.970
The aircraft will be moving
from the 95th Fighter Squadron

00:37.970 --> 00:40.510
to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii

00:40.510 --> 00:43.780
and Joint Base
Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.

00:43.780 --> 00:45.640
Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force,

00:45.640 --> 00:48.677
Kaleth Wright recently
posted on his Facebook page

00:48.677 --> 00:50.150
that it's now open season

00:50.150 --> 00:53.210
for the Blended Retirement System, or BRS.

00:53.210 --> 00:55.980
The BRS is intended to benefit some airmen

00:55.980 --> 00:58.830
who might not have a 20
plus year career in mind.

00:58.830 --> 01:01.550
Service members who joined after 2006,

01:01.550 --> 01:05.080
but before January 1,
2018, have the choice

01:05.080 --> 01:07.350
to stay with the existing retirement plan

01:07.350 --> 01:09.280
or opt-in to BRS.

01:09.280 --> 01:12.240
Airmen have less than 60 days
to decide whether they want

01:12.240 --> 01:14.600
to opt-in to the Blended
Retirement System.

01:14.600 --> 01:17.200
The opt-in window ends December 31st.

01:17.200 --> 01:18.450
If you're still undecided,

01:18.450 --> 01:20.070
and need a little more information,

01:20.070 --> 01:22.740
check out the BRS episode of FYI

01:22.740 --> 01:24.150
where we cover the active duty

01:24.150 --> 01:25.970
and reserve Blended Retirement System.

01:25.970 --> 01:29.050
Just go to YouTube and search AFTV Radio.

01:29.050 --> 01:31.600
The Air Force is starting
to use solar energy more

01:31.600 --> 01:35.210
to modernize bases and
rely less on fossil fuels.

01:35.210 --> 01:37.430
Check out our latest
episode of Tech Report

01:37.430 --> 01:39.110
to learn more about solar power.

01:39.110 --> 01:42.300

page and search AFTV Radio.

01:42.300 --> 01:45.226
And that's your look around the Air Force.
