Tax laws
benefit
troops,
families
By Elaine Wilson
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON - Service
members and their families have
a few tax advantages at their dis-
posal, as well as a few extra days
in which to complete their taxes
this year, a Defense Department
tax expert said.
Due to Emancipation Day,
a holiday recognized by the
District of Columbia, govern-
ment officials have pushed the
nation’s tax filing deadline from
April 15 to April 18, Army Lt.
Col. Evan Stone, director of the
Armed Forces Tax Council, told
American Forces Press Service.
Along with the filing exten-
sion, Stone pointed out several
new and existing tax laws mili-
tary members and their spouses
should keep in mind as the dead-
line draws near.
To start, people may have
noticed an increase in their take-
home pay, Stone said. The gov-
ernment, he explained, reduced
the Social Security tax from 6.2
percent of wages to 4.2 percent
solely for the 2011 tax year.
“For example, a specialist
with over two years of service
would probably see about a $40
increase per month in his pay,”
Stone said. But while take-home
pay is on the rise, tax brackets
won’t change. Congress extend-
ed the 2010 tax brackets through
2011 and 2012, he said.
Other tax laws are specific
to military members and their
spouses, Stone said, citing the
Combat Zone Tax Exclusion as
an example. Under this exclu-
sion, for any day a member
spends in a combat zone, that
entire month’s worth of base pay
is excluded from gross income
for income tax purposes, he
explained.
There’s no limit to this exclu-
sion for enlisted members and
warrant officers, he noted;
however, officers are limited to
$7,714.80. “Anything above that
would be included in the mem-
ber’s gross income,” he said.
Deployed service members
and their spouses also have at
least a 180-day extension to file
or pay taxes from the date they
leave the combat zone, Stone
said. To invoke this extension,
people should write “combat

and creating a savings of about
$2,000 to $7,000, depending on

“This can be significant, with
tens of thousands of dollars that

Turning to state income taxes,
Stone noted they can be compli-

Adverse health effects
• According to the DEA,
increased use of synthetic

Adverse health effects associat-

The government amended
this same law in 2009 through
the Military Spouses Residency
Relief Act. In the past, a military
spouse who moved to a new state
and established a new residence
there typically would claim that
state as the state of domicile and
pay state income taxes there,
Stone explained. Now, spouses
who move to a new state, reside

vice member and are there pur-

Some states, he added, also may
require the spouse to have the
same domicile as the service
member to be eligible.
However, the law is compli-
cated, Stone said, and each state
may apply different guidance on
the application of the relief act.
He suggested spouses discuss
their situation with a tax advisor
to avoid being double taxed.
To help with this tax law
and others, service members and
their spouses have a host of free,
expert tax-preparation services at
their disposal, Stone said, from
on-base centers to online soft-
ware.
People can visit most any
installation around the world for
free, in-person tax-preparation
assistance through the Volunteer

Stone said. The Armed Forces
Tax Council oversees this pro-
gram, which is managed locally
by installation legal assistance

respective service, he added.

If every answer was a “yes,” your

Finally, make it a point to

Women in the Navy, milestones in history
By SN Michael Henderson
GROTON, Conn. – From
Women serving as contract
nurses during the battle of
1812, to women serving on
board submarines in the pres-
ent, women have played a sig-
nificant role in the history of
“The World’s Finest Navy”.
Celebrating Women’s History
in the month this March, here
are some milestones from more
than two centuries of wom-
en’s struggle for equality in the
United States Navy.
1812
First record of women at sea
-- War of 1812, U.S. ships logs
show women serving as con-
tract nurses for War of 1812.
1858
First armed ship named for a
woman to serve with US Navy.
Harriet Lane (Revenue Cutter)
named for niece of President
James Buchanan, who served as
Buchanan’s White House host-
ess. The ship was transferred
to Navy 1858, later returned
to Revenue Cutter Service.
Transferred to Navy when Civil
War began, 1861; captured
by Confederates at Galveston
Jan 1863. Not returned to
Government service after end
of war.
1908
U.S. Navy Nurse Corps is
established on May 13. The
first 20 nurses (in reality, the
first women in the Navy) report
to Washington, D.C., that
October. By the end of World
War I, numbers had escalated
to 1,386. Women worked trans-
port duty overseas (England,
Ireland, Scotland).
1916
The Naval Reserve Act of
1916 allowed for enlistment of
qualified “persons” for service.
‘On an Oil Recovery Barge’
Christine Cancelli
Oil on canvas, 1974
Secretary of the Navy, Josephus
Daniels (his assistant was
Franklin D. Roosevelt) asked,
“Is there any law that says a
Yeoman must be a man?”
On March, 19, 1917, the
Navy authorized the enlist-
ment of women. Designated
as “Yeoman” they unofficially
became known as “yeoma-
nettes.” On the first day of
draft registration, female “sea-
soned veterans” of two months
were processing paperwork
of the male draftees. All the
women were assigned to an
old tug, USS Triton, and had
(F) added to their name. There
was no boot camp. In addition
to Yeomanettes, they were also
referred to as Yeoman (F), lady
sailors, and Yeowomen.
When the armistice was
signed on November 11, 1918,
there were 11,275 yeomanettes
in the Naval service, with some
300 “Marinettes” in the Marine
Corps. During this time, assign-
ments included recruiting, bond
duties, general clerical work,
production in ammunition fac-
tories, designing camouflage,
drafting, translation, and radio
operation. While most were
stationed in Washington D.C.,
some were stationed in France,
Guam, and Hawaii. Men and
women at that time earned
$28.75 per month, the begin-
ning of equal pay.
1942
Public Law 689 (Naval
Reserve Act of 1938) amended
July 30, signed by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt to include
the Women’s Auxiliary Reserve,
later known as the “WAVES,”
for Women Accepted for
Volunteer Emergency Service.
More than 27,000 women were
on active duty in the Navy
at this time. Wellesley College

Beginning in the 1980s, female helicopter pilots got the opportunity to land
on aircraft carriers, one of the most challenging maneuvers that a pilot could
ever tackle. This MH-53 can operate from carriers and other warships. During
Operation Iraqi Freedom, the MH-53 was used primarily for Airborne Mine
Countermeasures (AMCM), with a secondary mission of shipboard delivery.
Mine hunting and mine clearing operations were very successful during OIF.

year, authorization was passed
for women to hold the rank of
Captain, and McAfee was pro-
moted to that rank.
WWII training in conducted
at Smith College for officers
and Hunter College for enlisted.
More than 86,000 women were
on duty on V-J Day.
Day-to-day operation of Navy

filled traditional roles, such as
in administrative and medical
ratings, and non-traditional
roles such as rigging para-
chutes, instructing men in free
and fixed gunnery, instructing
pilots in celestial instrument
navigation, aviation instrument
repair (so new they had to con-
struct their own instruments),
air traffic control, aircraft

aircraft.

es accomplishments - keeps
women on active duty
During WWII, 81 nurses,
including Navy nurses, were
taken prisoner by the Japanese
on Guam and in the Republic of
the Philippines.
1947
The Army-Navy Nurses Act
(Public Law 36-80C) establishes
the Nurse Corps as a permanent
Staff Corps of the Navy and
the Army. It also authorizes
permanent commissioned rank
for nurses.
1948
On June 12, President Harry
Truman signed Public Law 625,
the Women’s Armed Services
Integration Act, abolishing the
Women’s Auxiliary Reserve
and making it possible for
women to enter the U.S. Navy
in active or reserve status.
Although women were achiev-
ing great success, it was not
without restrictions. Women
could constitute no more than
two percent of the total force.
Officer numbers were limited to
ten percent of that two percent.
Promotions above O-3 were
capped. The URL Director of
the WAVES served as an O-6,
but that was only as long as she
filled that billet. No flag rank;
10 USC 6015; Women could
serve as General Unrestricted

5,700 women served as Navy
officers (8% of the Navy’s officer

enlisted women comprise 8% of
the Navy’s enlisted ranks. Due
to their combat relationship,
only two officer communities,
Submarine and Special Warfare,
and 13 of 100 enlisted ratings
remain closed to women.
1988

in 1992. This is only the first
time since World War II and
the second time in the Navy’s
history that a warship has been

GROTON, Conn. – As Sailors across Naval
Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) pre-
pare for the Spring 2011 Physical Readiness
Test (PRT) many are looking to improve their
times on the cardio portion of the test. The
Morton Hall gymnasium staff offer a six-week
class that is designed to help Sailors do just
that.
The running program is designed to improve
Sailors run times through a variety of train-
ing methods, from standard running and run,
sprint, jog drills to treadmill training and work-
outs on the gyms elliptical machines.
“My hope is that everyone enrolled in the
program not only passes the run portion of
their PRT,” said program coordinator Claire
Jeffcoat, “but also that they improves on those
times.”
As the weather continues to warm up at
SUBASE, Jeffcoat hopes to get the Sailors out-
doors and utilize different training methods.
The unique setting of SUBASE’s upper base
offers a variety of hills for runners to increase
their endurance and stamina.
GROTON, Conn. – Sailors from Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE) run a mock Physical Readiness Test (PRT)
