Feb 26, 2020

This was just brrrrrilliant!

Our annual Polar Bear Run & Plunge was a blast! The event started with a fun 5k and ended with a cold plunge into the Rec Camp lake and s’mores!

It was loads of fun and we want to give a very special thank you to our sponsors, HEB and Park University.

February FSS Spotlight

Feb 26, 2020

The Force Support Squadron’s Newsletter proudly introduces Mr. William Gathecha from the Airman and Family Readiness Center as our first Squadron Highlight!

He is the Wing’s Community Readiness Consultant who works hard teaching best practices to military, permanent party and contractor personnel here at Goodfellow. His work touches every airman on this base.

Mr. Gathecha is vital to not just the Force Support Squadron, but to every squadron as the Safety Program Manager making sure supervisors are up to date on their training and buildings are up to code with the latest policies and trends. He also led the Wing Financial Readiness Program, coordinating briefings and educating more than 560 total force personnel.

If you haven’t registered to vote, you should get over to A&FRC to find out the steps you need to know. It was Mr. Gathecha who ensures that all voters are 100% DoD compliant. He also is an accredited financial counselor, educating staff and encouraged nearly 1,500 service members to pursue financial goals.

We are proud our first FSS Highlight goes to Mr. William Gathecha. He embodies the mission of the FSS to Serve, Support and Sustain our fighting force. He is a dedicated professional who serves selflessly everyday supporting active duty, retirees, permanent party and family members through focused customer Service.

Thanks Mr. Gathecha for all you do for Goodfellow Air Force Base!

Welcome Back Y’all 2020

Jan 31, 2020

What a way to kick off the new year! With all of our students back we wanted to give them a big ‘ol Texas welcome.

We had a mechanical bull, some Texas flavor, and had the Brandon Fulton band play!

It was loads of fun and we want to give a very special thank you to our sponsor, Mitchell Toyota.

David Koch	Montgomery GI Bill election	June 1, 2023	[67]	12:00 AM	[81]	Library	0	Library	The MGIB election window changed effective 5 January 2023. Applicable to officer and enlisted members, the change moved completion of the required MGIB election via DD Form 2366, Montgomery GI Bill Act of 1984 (MGIB) Basic Enrollment, to 90 days following 180 days in service (180-270 days). This additional time allows service members to make an informed decision regarding MGIB election. Elections are no longer authorized during Basic Military and Officer Training (BMT/OTS) and members who do not make an election prior to 270 days in service will remain enrolled. It is imperative service members in extended technical training (greater than 150 days) are informed of their election window and given the opportunity to make an election before the window closes.
