update deers to maintain coverage
Keeping all of your
family’s information up-
to-date in the Defense
Enrollment Eligibility
Reporting System (DEERS)
is essential for maintaining
your TRICARE benefit
coverage. Updating your
information is simple,
and in this blog you’ll
find the necessary
resources to help you
avoid the unnecessary
headache of losing your
TRICARE coverage. The
last thing I want is for
you to experience a lapse
in coverage because
your information in
DEERS was not updated.
Remember, while keeping
DEERS current is simple,
it is ultimately your
responsibility, so please
take a look at the following
information.
What is DEERS?
DEERS is a worldwide,
computerized database
of uniformed services
members (sponsors),
their family members and
others who are eligible for
As we start off June, I
am happy to announce
that the indoor pool
has now reopened just
in time for summer
and that the extensive
repairs that it has
undergone over the
last five months should
insure that we will be
able to enjoy it for years
to come. In addition, we
are currently working
on a small project to
improve the ventilation
at the pool so that we
will not have the issues
with humidity that have
required us to close the
military benefits. TRICARE
uses the information in
DEERS to verify TRICARE
eligibility. For an overview
on DEERS, visit TRICARE’s
eligibility Web page.
When do I update DEERS?
Any time you or your
family experiences a life-
changing event, remember
to update DEERS. Keeping
your information updated
will prevent you from
losing your health care
eligibility. Examples
include:
• Retiring or separating
from active duty
• Activating or
deactivating from
National Guard or
Reserve
• Changing your service
status (enlisting to
officer, changing branch,
etc.)
• Getting married or
divorced
• Having a baby or
adopting a child
• Moving
• Becoming eligible for
pool at times in the past.
June should also see
the initial work begin
on our new turf football
field as well. This has
been a project that the
base has been pushing
for a number of years
and we are extremely
happy to see that it
is finally coming to
fruition. The plan as it
now stands calls for the
field to be complete in
September in time for
the flag football season.
As with all construction
projects, weather can
have an impact on the

if i had to do it all over again
“If I had to do all over again, I . . .” How many times
have we heard someone said that? How often have
we said it ourselves? If we had to do all over again,
we never would have let the girl go, would never have
married the bum, would have grabbed the bull by the
horns, or maybe would have looked before we leaped.
Even though we are very satisfied with who we are, what
we have become, and what we do, every now and then
we’re tempted to take a look back on our lives, at those
critical junction points and wish we had done something
differently.
Part of this stems from our secret wish that we want
to be somebody, that we want to make that dynamic
impact on our world. But our world tells us that we only
have one chance, and we better not miss it. Oh sure, we
receive the occasional pat on the back and “attaboy” but
we can relate to the wistful Marlon Brando in Requiem
for a Fighter, “I could have been a contender!” If only I
could do it all over again.

embarrassed of. I suspect that we’re all like that. But I
don’t want to change my past.
Someone once said that life is ten percent of what
happens to you and ninety percent how you react to it.
Our greatest growth times and learning experiences
often come from those time when we’ve done some
dumb mistake, when we flat out did something we
should not have, or when we survived some awful
experience. What we take, how we react, what we learn
from those incidents becomes the forging ground of our
character and makes us into stronger and better people.

chance to see what life would’ve been if he hadn’t been

whine or dine…
The Maine Street Café has long been one of my
favorite lunch haunts in Fallon, but only recently has it
opened for dinner on weekends. I was a little hesitant
to sit down to a nice dinner at one of my favorite lunch
places, knowing that the menu and ambiance would
be different, for fear that it would not live up to my
expectations. I’m so happy to say that my fears were
unfounded. It was extraordinary! Not only was the
food delectable, well presented and plentiful, but it
was affordable, as well. The dinner menu is fairly
limited, but my family found plenty of variety for all
tastes and everyone left satisfied. I ordered the rib-
eye steak, which as wonderful as it was, found itself
overshadowed by an appetizer salad that was to die
for (imagine a fresh salad with caramelized onions
and homemade vinaigrette on top – heaven!) The
rib-eye is my favorite cut of meat, and as such, I’ve
ordered a rib-eye at every steak house I’ve ever been
to. Unfortunately, I like my meat well-done, which all
too often means that chefs burn my meal. Not at the
Maine Street Cafe. Not only was my steak perfectly
seasoned but it was delivered to me well-done, juicy
and tender. My husband ordered a chicken dish
with garlic mashed potatoes, and raved about how
wonderful his meal was. Everything my family tried,
they loved. The Maine Street Café doesn’t offer a kids
menu for lunch or dinner, however I’ve never known
them not to prepare something for my son when I’ve
asked. The linen table clothes and candle-lit tables
added an extra ambiance to an already cheerful café
that will be perfect for your next night out. Dinner
at the Maine Street Café was a wonderful treat for
my family and I know it will be for yours. I’m looking
forward to some warmer weather so that I can try their
outdoor patio seating, and go enjoy another wonderful
meal.
Maine Street Café is open for dinner Friday and
Saturday evenings from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. They, of
course, continue to be open Monday-Saturday 7:00 am
to 2:30 pm for lunch.

a guide to family travel — fun in folsom
I’ll be honest. When I first
saw Folsom, California on a
map, I didn’t think much of
it. As far as I knew, Folsom
was a prison, right? My
mind immediately conjured
up images of Johnny Cash
singing “I walk the line”. I
was traveling home from
Sacramento one day and
thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun
to drive through Folsom and
take a picture on front of the
prison for my scrapbook?”
Wasn’t I in for a surprise?
There is a famous prison in
Folsom and Johnny Cash
did perform there in 1968,
but little did I know I was
about to be introduced to
one of my favorite cities in
California.
Folsom, California
has boomed in recent
years to become one of
the top shopping, dining
and outdoor adventure
destinations in Northern
California, offering
something for everyone in
your family. For the outdoor
adventurer in your family,
Folsom offers great water
sports and hiking. Between
Folsom Lake, Lake Natoma
and the American River,
anyone who enjoys being on
the water will be able to find
their pleasure. Whether
you like waterskiing,
wakeboarding, swimming
or just hiking along the
waterfront, Folsom is a
sportsman’s paradise.
For the shopper in
your family, Folsom is
also home to the Folsom
Premium Outlets which is
a bargain shopper’s oasis.
With nearly 100 designer
clothing outlet stores, it is
the perfect place to spend
a lazy afternoon walking
through the outdoor mall in
the comfortable California
sunshine.
Best of all, Folsom is
the perfect destination for
families. I recently took my
two year old to Disneyland
and he didn’t enjoy it half as
much as he loved Folsom.
Sometimes the major
tourist destinations can be
overwhelming and tiring for
little ones, but Folsom is
full of outdoor adventure,
parks and attractions
perfect for little children.
As for accommodations, we
stayed at the Residence Inn
by Marriott which offers a
military discount and rooms
perfect for families with one
or two bedrooms. Centrally
located and offering a full
breakfast buffet for free
every morning, it’s the
perfect place to stay with
the kids.
Despite the small
size, the Folsom Zoo &

children, it’s something that
can’t be missed, and at a

zoo and $2 per person for a
train ride, it won’t break the
bank.
Folsom is also home
to a vast variety of
restaurants that cover

fighting
Cast: Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard, Zulay Henao, Michael Rivera, Flaco Navaja (II)
Rated: PG-13 for intense fight sequences, some sexuality and brief strong language
Genre: Crime/Gangster and Sports
Runtime: 105 min
Synopsis: Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling
counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden sees that he has
a natural talent for streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form
an uneasy partnership. As Shawn’s manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit,
where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down
professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense
bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he’s found himself, he must now face
the toughest fight of his life.

17 again
Cast: Zac Efron, Leslie Mann, Matthew Perry, Michelle Trachtenberg, Melora Hardin
Rated: PG-13 for language, some sexual material and teen partying

Runtime: 102 min
Synopsis: What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Class of 1989, Mike O’Donnell is a star on his high school basket-
ball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all
away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlett and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later,
Mike’s glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlett has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a
promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school
nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned. But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously trans-
formed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool
in the class of 2009. And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened to
him.

x-men origins: wolverine

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Live Schreiber, Danny Huston, Taylor Kitsch, Will.i.am

legends of the X-Men universe.

encouraged to apply. These positions guarantee you a salary that when combined with retirement pay will equal your
active-duty pay and allowances.
