All of Team Eglin will be "pitching in" and picking up around their office and workplaces beginning in 2011. The base custodial contract has been reduced so now employees are required to empty their personal trash, as well as periodic vacuuming services and other general maintenance around the offices.

Energy Savers

Col. Sal Nodjomian, 96th Air Base Wing commander presents Capt. Adam Guziewicz, Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal commander, and Mineman First Class Troy Reed, with the Quarterly Energy Contest Award. The EOD School posted record savings over the quarter with 37 percent energy savings, primarily by turning off computers when not in use. Other competitors were the 9th Special Operations Squadron and 46th Test Wing Base Operations. The total combined reduction for all three buildings averaged more than13 percent, saving more than $2,000 during a 30-day period. Energy awareness and cultural change are the keys to Team Eglin's success. This year, 13 buildings have participated in four energy contests and have saved more than $16,000.

Turtle's dozen

A 96th Civil Engineer Squadron biologist carefully places another sea turtle egg in a cooler at one of Eglin Air Force Base’s beaches Aug. 2. The eggs will be transported to the east coast so the turtles can be released without the threat of encountering oil from the spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The group of biologists removed 117 eggs from the nest on this day and more than 300 eggs have been moved so far. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
