added benefits
By Jamie L. Lockwood
III Corps Public A ffairs
The open season for the Sur-
vivor Benefit Plan began April
1 for the next year. The open
season provides retirees an op-
portunity to enroll for the first
time or to increase the base
amount of coverage.
THE FORT Hood Retire-
ment Services Officer Roy L.
Bratton and his assistant Spc.
Pisa Lewis will assist retirees
in making elections they need
during the open enrollment pe-
riod. The office is open 7:30
11:30 a.m. and 12:30 4 p.m.
Monday Friday in building
121 room 2.
The RSO will assist retirees
in completing the DD Form
2618 and furnishing instruc-
tions or answering questions
according to Bratton.
The SBP gives retirees a
way to insure the continuation
of a portion of retired pay to
survivors. The plan was never.
intended to be a total plan but
rather one to build upon. It
provides a benefit when Social
Security is not payable or a
supplement to it when it is
payable.

Reception.

tions: the 89th Military Police Brigade family
support group the community life program
the Boy Scouts Meadows Elementary School
the Officers’ Wives Club the Combined Law
Enforcement Officers’ Wives Club and the
Chaplains’ program.
Trueting is exceptional in that she volun-
teered in the most many organizations but it
was common for these volunteers to activly

Fort Hood commander astounded the guest
