Beth’s husband is retired military, so receiving the Military Relocation Professional designation among civilians made her realize how much information is unknown by the public, and that many aren’t aware of how many sacrifi ces our military members and their families make. With the heart of a teacher ( her previous career was as a math teacher) and her many real estate credentials, Beth serves ALL price ranges with enthusiasm and looks forward to hearing from you. Her per-sonal service, dedication, integrity and attention to detail have made her a recognized leader in the industry. Check out Beth’s reviews on Zillow or visit www.HomesAroundOmaha.com

UNO

PROUDLY SERVING THE MILITARY FOR OVER 60 YEARSWhat is the Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) Degree?

The BGS Degree, offered through the Division of Continuing Studies (DCS) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), is a flexible, individualized bachelor’s degree program designed especially for the adult learner. It is available online, on-campus, or through a combination of online and on-campus classes.

The BGS Degree is part of UNO’s longstanding, rich tradition of supporting military and veteran students. The degree program was created through the U.S. Government’s “Operation Bootstrap Program,” initiated in the late 1940s to provide commissioned officers with opportunities to “lift themselves by their bootstraps” to complete their degrees for professional advancement and preparation for post-military life.

Today, over sixty years later, military and veteran students and their families still choose UNO’s BGS Degree because of its quality, flexibility, more than 50 areas of study, opportunities for applied academic credit from military education and experience, CLEP and DSST examinations, and prior college or university coursework.

BGS Degree Highlights

• A quality degree for professional success• Designed especially for non-traditional students • Military/veteran-friendly• Competitively priced• Online, on-campus, and off-campus course offerings

(including Offutt Air Force Base)• Personalized academic advising• Liberal acceptance of transfer credit• Flexible, individualized programs of study

VA LENDING EXPERTISE


GETTING STARTED

Offutt Air Force Base has many ways to keep you informed of what is happening in and around the commu-nity. The base has a website located at www.offutt.af.mil where you can read stories on what is happening within Team Offutt. In addition, anyone in your family can find information if assistance is ever needed on the website’s Comprehensive Airman Fitness page.

The base also has a very active social media program with a Facebook page, Twitter page, FLICKr page, YouTube channel and even an Offutt Weather Twitter page that can send you a text when the base is closed or there is delayed reporting because of inclement weather.

For those of you with a smart phone, we have teamed up with other bases to provide an App. Simply look for MyMC2 or My Military Communities. Once you have it, choose Offutt and you will have what is happening on base in the palm of your hand.

There is also an electronic base newsletter. The Air Pulse is distributed to base personnel every Wednesday. It is also available to others by request. Simply e-mail [email protected] and ask to be added to the distribution list.

Last but not least, is the base newspaper, which is called “The Base: 68113.” This commercial paper is distributed by Suburban Newspapers using content mainly from the Offutt website.

Bellevue, Neb., just six miles south of Interstate 80 at the Intersection of Capehart Road and U.S. Highway 75.

The base operator’s phone number is (402) 294-1110, or DSN 271-1110.

AirportsThere’s one major airport in the metro Omaha area.

Eppley Airfield is four miles northeast of downtown Omaha at 4501 Abbott Drive, off Highway 480 North and Sorenson Expressway. There are also two small noncommercial airports in the Omaha area. North Omaha Airport is located on North 72nd Street in Omaha and Millard Airport is located at 12916 Millard Airport Plaza in West Omaha.

Weather OverviewOmaha area weather varies significantly throughout

the year. Summers are very warm—and at times rather humid— with high temperatures ranging between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Summertime thunderstorms are observed (on average) nine times per month—June through September. These storms usually occur in the late evening and overnight hours and account for nearly half of the region’s annual rainfall.

On the other hand, winter weather is rather dry and cold. Typical daytime high temperatures range between 30 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit from December through March. Nevertheless, below zero temperatures are possible during colder spells and strong winds can create wind chill factors of 20 to 40 degrees below zero. Annual snowfall for eastern Nebraska averages between 25 and 30 inches. Spring and fall — the transition seasons — are mild, with high temperatures reaching 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Occasionally this transition time produces severe weather — isolated severe thunderstorms with hail (and even the possibility of tornadoes) — as warm and cold air masses clash in the Central Plains States.

Chapel ServicesOffutt AFB offers religious programs in two non-

denominational chapels. The SAC Memorial Chapel is located next to the parade grounds in the Fort Crook Historical District, and the Capehart Chapel is across the street from Ehrling Bergquist Clinic, on 25th Street and Capehart Road. Both chapels offer a myriad of faith-group activities designed by chaplains and congregations to meet people’s spiritual and personal needs. Regarding daily unit care, the chapel operates an Airmen’s Ministry Center, known as “The Connection” within the Tuskegee dormitory (3rd floor) with focused ‘Comprehensive Airmen Fitness’ ministry programs and events designed for Offutt’s junior enlisted. Additionally,

the chapel operates a Marriage & Family Ministry Center within building #53 (in close proximity to the SAC Chapel) with a full spectrum of educational and restorative programs and services focused on marriage and family needs. Special schedules are announced in the Offutt Air Pulse and chapel parish bulletins. Information is also available by calling (402) 294-6244.

On-base government transportationOffutt’s shuttle bus stops at various base locations

Monday–Friday, 6 a.m.–5:30 p.m. The shuttle bus doesn’t run on weekends or holidays. For more information or a copy of the shuttle schedule, call transportation dispatch at (402) 294-4375.

Getting onto baseOffutt has three gates for daily use. The Kenney

“Flag” Gate and the USSTRATCOM Gate are open 24 hours. The Bellevue Gate is open Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. including ACC Family Days. The Bellevue Gate is closed weekends and federal Holidays. Visitor passes are granted through the Pass and Registration Center located adjacent to the USSTRATCOM Gate.

Vehicle registrationThe Air Force no longer requires military, family

members and Department of Defense employees to register vehicles on base. However, all drivers must have a valid Department of Defense identification card, valid driver’s license, current registration and proof of insurance. International driver’s licenses are valid up to 30 days upon arrival to Offutt, after which only valid state licenses are permitted. For more information, contact the Pass and Registration office at (402) 294-8979.

GETTING STARTED

Weapon registrationAll personnel residing in dormitories, bachelor living

quarters, temporary living facilities, government housing (to include privatized housing) or billeting/lodging facilities must register any firearms they possess. The registration focal point for personnel assigned to the 55th Wing will be the individual’s Group Commanders Support Staff or unit orderly room. For all other organizations, the unit orderly room is the focal point for registration.

Emergency phone numbersThe 911 emergency system is used on Offutt and in

the local communities for fire, rescue and police services. Dialing 911 from an on-base phone, including most phones in Rising View housing, will connect you to base emergency services, the 55th Security Forces Squadron, base fire department and Ehrling Bergquist clinic. Dialing 911 from an off-base residence will connect you with Sarpy County 911 emergency services.

Insuring your personal vehicleAll automobiles must have insurance, and proof of

this must be provided to obtain state registration. For more information regarding Nebraska insurance laws, call the Sarpy County Motor Vehicle Department at (402) 593-2148 located at 84th St. and Hwy 370.

Driving on baseGeneral

Operators and passengers of all vehicles operated on Air Force installations must wear seatbelts. Children newborn through six years of age will be seated and restrained in a Department of Transportation-approved child restraint seat.

The speed limit on Offutt is 25 miles per hour unless otherwise posted. The speed limit in base-housing areas varies from 15 mph to 25 mph (as posted).

Speeding in base housingSpeeding 10 to 15 mph over the base housing posted

speed limit will result in a seven-day driving suspension and the driver’s base traffic history being assessed points. Any second speeding offense in base housing within 12 months will result in a 30-day suspension and points assessed. Any third speeding offense in base housing within 12 months will result in a six-month suspension and points assessed. Citations issued to people for exceeding the base housing posted speed limit by 16 mph or more will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Cell phone useOnly hands-free cell phone use is authorized by the

Department of Defense on installations while operating a vehicle.

Caution, pleaseCongestion and curbside parking in the housing areas

make it very difficult to see children playing and walking through the area. Please drive with extreme care.

Alcohol The legal drinking age in Nebraska is 21.Purchase or possession of an alcoholic beverage by

someone underage is a misdemeanor. Nebraska law and Offutt AFB regulations prohibits having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle, even if the vehicle is parked. All persons driving on Nebraska roads are deemed to have given consent to a chemical test to determine the level of drugs or alcohol in their blood, breath or urine. Refusal of a breath test is a misdemeanor. Refusal may also result in revocation of driving privileges for up to 15 years, depending on the offender’s prior record. For more information on any legal issues, call the base legal office at (402) 294-3732 or (402) 294-3733.

HOUSING

Privatized Housing InformationAt Offutt AFB, military family housing is privatized.

America First Communities (AFC) owns the family housing and is responsible for maintaining, repairing, constructing and managing the community. In addition to your option to purchase and rent housing in the local community, you now may choose to live in privatized housing by signing a tenant lease agreement with AFC.

For comprehensive information about the privatized housing community at Offutt AFB, visit the Rising View website. The website provides information you need to know about the homes and amenities available in the privatized housing community.

Applying for Privatized Housing Contact the HMO as soon as you know you are

moving to Offutt AFB. The government housing team will provide you the latest information about privatized housing and details about the application process. The HMO will also update you on any base specific policies regarding residing in privatized housing.

Community AmenitiesPrivatized housing is comparable to housing in

the local community and provides a wide variety of amenities and support services.

Community features such as 61 tot lots and playgrounds, a dog walking park, soccer field, sand volleyball courts and approximately 15,000 linear feet of walking trails, full and half court basketball courts, picnic pavilions, and a community gathering center “The Pointe at Rising View” (5600 gross square feet facility and 150 max person capacity) are just some of the amenities you will find at Rising View Communities.

As a resident of privatized housing, contact the Property Management Office to obtain more specific information on the services available at your location.

Paying Rent for Privatized HousingSimilar to living in the local community, you will

sign a tenant lease agreement, typically for a one-year term. Your lease includes a military clause and a lease termination clause. You pay your monthly rent by authorizing an allotment of your BAH that is paid directly to the Property Manager. If your move occurs prior to the allotment start date, then you will need to pay the pro-rated rent directly to the Property Manager. The Tenant Lease Agreement spells out all relevant rent payment terms and conditions.

Gas and Electric Utilities At this location, residents will not start paying

utilities until 2018. For more information about your utilities, please contact the Property Management Office.

Personal Property Insurance Rising View offers (at no expense to the resident) a

$20,000 personal property ($250.00 deductible) renter’s insurance policy. Additional renter’s insurance is highly recommended based on your personal needs.

Before purchasing your insurance, please consult the Property Management Office for more information about coverage.

School Information See Referral and Relocation Assistance for

information about schools in the local area.

YOUR TRICARE

Your TRICARE coverage is completely portable — meaning it moves with you. You’re covered worldwide — both in transit and once you arrive at your new location — but depending on where you go you may use a different TRICARE health plan option. Additionally, you may have different steps depending on which health plan option you are using now. For more information, visit http://www.tricare.mil.

Key things to remember when you move:• Do not disenroll from any plan before you move

so you are covered while traveling to your new location

• Update your new address and phone number in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) when you get to your new location

• If you are enrolled in TRICARE Prime and move within the same TRICARE region: change your primary care manager

• Move to another TRICARE region: transfer enrollment to your new region

• Active duty service members must enroll in a TRICARE Prime option

When Using TRICARE Standard and Extra

TRICARE Standard and Extra are available to family members only and enrollment is not required. Any active duty family member who is registered in DEERS may use these programs by seeing any network or non-network providers that are authorized by

TRICARE. If you’re already using TRICARE Standard and Extra, moving is easy. Once you arrive at your new location, update your personal information in DEERS immediately. Then, find TRICARE-authorized providers in your new area by visiting your new regional contractor’s website for a list of providers. Remember, if you see network providers, you’ll be using the Extra option and pay lower cost shares.

Getting Care along the WayIf you are in need of Emergency Care in the United States

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. TRICARE defines emergency care as medical services provided for a sudden or unexpected medical or psychiatric condition, or the sudden worsening of a chronic (ongoing) condition that is threatening to life, limb or sight and needs immediate medical treatment, or which has painful symptoms that need immediate relief to stop suffering.

If you are hospitalized in a civilian facility for more than 24 hours, contact your regional contractor. Urgent care in the United States - Coordinate with your PCM and/or regional contractor. TRICARE defines urgent care as medical care for a condition that will not result in disability or death if not treated immediately but should be treated within 24 hours to avoid further complications.

If you are in a Prime program, you must coordinate urgent care with your primary care manager and/or regional contractor before receiving care.

If you are in TRICARE Standard and Extra, or TRICARE For Life, you can receive care as you normally would. You should, however, contact your contractor as soon as possible to coordinate any prior authorizations that are needed.

Emergency or Urgent care OverseasContact closest TRICARE Area Office or TRICARE

Global Remote Call Center. You don’t need prior authorization for emergency or urgent care but the TRICARE Area Office or TRICARE Global Remote Call Center will help you find the best care available in the overseas area in which you are traveling.

YOUR TRICARE

Filling Prescriptions on the Road:You should have all your prescriptions filled before

you leave, but if you need a prescription filled while you’re traveling in the United States, you have several options:

• If near an MTF, fill the prescription at the MTF pharmacy.

• Find the closest TRICARE network pharmacy.• If a network pharmacy is not available, you can

visit a non-network pharmacy. In this case, you may have to pay up front for your medications and file a claim with Express Scripts, Inc., for reimbursement. For more details, visit http://www.tricare.mil/.

Your pharmacy coverage is limited overseas:TRICARE network pharmacies are only located in

the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You can have prescriptions filled at host-nation pharmacies, if necessary. Host-nation pharmacies are treated the same as non-network pharmacies. If you

have prescriptions filled at a host-nation pharmacy, you should expect to pay for the total amount up front and file a claim with Wisconsin Physicians Service for partial reimbursement.

To learn more about pharmacy claims, visit the TRICARE website at http://www.tricareonline.com.

CLUBS & ASSOCIATIONS

Air Force Sergeants’ AssociationThe Air Force Sergeants’ Association is a professional

organization representing active duty, retiree, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve enlisted members. Its primary purpose is to provide a voice to government leaders in an effort to improve the quality of life, on and off duty, for enlisted people. The chapter provides opportunities for members to become involved in the on- and off-base communities. Key events include the annual POW/MIA Recognition Day Luncheon and the Thanksgiving Food Basket Program.

Air Force AssociationThe Ak-Sar-Ben Chapter of the Air Force Association

has approximately 1,700 members. The chapter supports the goals of the national organization and is active in the Omaha, Offutt and Bellevue communities. Major proj-ects include annual recognition programs like the Storz’ Awards, recognizing the achievements of an outstanding Offutt junior officer, mid-tier enlisted member, junior-tier enlisted member and civilian employee, and scholarship

programs for qualified Air Force Junior and Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets. AFA events include an annual Air Force birthday ball, a charity golf tournament and monthly visits to the local veteran’s hospital. People interested in joining the AFA should contact a unit spon-sor, first sergeant or the command chief master sergeant.

Airmen Against Drunk DrivingThis program is run by Airmen for Airmen. Volunteer

drivers provide free rides to Airmen who may have consumed too much alcohol on Fridays, Saturdays, holidays and down days from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.; and Sundays through Thursdays from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. It is intended to be a back-up plan when your primary plan fails. Drivers take Airmen from any establishment to their home. To arrange a ride, call (402) 659-2233.

Base Advisory CouncilComprised of unit advisory council representatives

at the organization and squadron levels, the advisory council addresses the concerns of all military members, regardless of rank. The group helps commanders work issues that affect their people; modifies programs, policies, and directives; and explores potential improvements to duty areas, living quarters, services and recreational facilities. The advisory council system is not a substitute for the chain of command, nor is it a way to solve individual gripes.

Company Grade Officers’ CouncilThe Company Grade Officers’ Council provides a

forum for company grade officers to get involved in base and community activities, meet other officers and share ideas. The council sponsors the annual Stars and Bars Dining Out, Santa’s in Blue, Adopt-a-Highway and other community programs, professional development seminars and various social events.

Elite-Four Airmen’s CouncilThe Airmen’s Advisory Council provides a platform

for airmen basic through senior airmen to express their concerns to senior leadership and to become actively involved within their communities on and off base. The council is chaired by the 55th Wing command chief master sergeant, who provides command-level information on topics of interest to the enlisted community. To get involved in this program, contact your first sergeant.

CLUBS & ASSOCIATIONS

“5/6” NetworkThe purpose of the “5/6” Network is to enhance and

maintain the camaraderie, esprit de corps and prestige of the junior non-commissioned officer, while promoting a spirit of unity and honor among all enlisted members, regardless of unit of assignment or branch of service. They are collectively and individually role models for the development and mentorship of enlisted personnel and an interim level of service, professionalism and development toward the senior NCO tier.

Offutt Enlisted Spouses ClubThe Offutt Enlisted Spouses Club is dedicated

to making living at Offutt and the surrounding communities the best it can be. The club supports local communities by sponsoring and awarding annual college scholarships to local military affiliated high school students, hosting an annual Children’s Winter Wonderland Holiday Breakfast and participating in numerous charitable activities. The club is open to all enlisted spouses, active duty and retired.

Officers’ Spouses ClubThe Officers’ Spouses Club organizes and sponsors

educational, charitable, cultural and social activities for its members, as well as providing a venue for people to meet one another. Membership in the club is voluntary and includes active, associate, social and honorary members.

Top ThreeThe Offutt Top 3 Association promotes active com-

munication, professionalism, responsibility, prestige, camaraderie, and esprit de corps among the senior enlisted corps. We actively support the entire Offutt population through professional development, information flow, com-munity service and morale building activities. We work as a group to ensure senior leadership is aware of the enlisted force’s feelings and concerns, and strive to positively influ-ence personnel-related policy decisions. Here is a list of activities we are involved in: ALS Classroom Sponsorship, Enlisted Dining Out, SNCO Induction Ceremony, Master Sgt. Promotion Party, NCO Professional Enhancement Seminar, Top 3 Scholarship, Anti-DUI activities, Right Start Information Fair and a Highway Clean-up.

FIGHTIN’ 55TH UNITS

The 55th Wing is the largest wing in Air Combat Command. Operating on four continents, the wing supports seven diverse flying missions. The Fightin’ Fifty-Fifth provides global reconnaissance, real-time intelligence gathering, command and control, information warfare, electronic attack, treaty verification and combat support to national leadership and war fighting commanders.

55th Communications Group The 55th Communications Group

provides superior C4ISR and national-level nuclear command and control

capability to the 55th Wing, USSTRATCOM, tenant organizations, and the Department of Defense, globally. The group is comprised of more than 450 military, DoD civilian and contractor personnel. These professionals operate and maintain the Air Force’s most diverse array of cyber systems to include military satellite communications platforms, secure and non-secure voice, data and radio frequency networks, hundreds of miles of fiber optic and copper cabling, as well as providing base-wide client systems, information assurance and knowledge operations services. In addition to nuclear command and control, the communications group also provides unprecedented alternate missile warning capability 24/7 for the Secretary of Defense and the President of the United States.

The 55th Communications Group traces its history back to 1946, with the creation of the Strategic Air Command at Andrews AFB, Maryland. Originally assigned as the 30th Communications Squadron, the unit moved with the Strategic Air Command to Offutt AFB in 1948 and became the 1st Aerospace Communications Wing. The wing was later designated a group and, following Air Force reorganization in 1993, the unit joined the 55th Wing as the 55th Communications Group. The group currently consists of two squadrons: the 55th Communications Squadron and the 55th Strategic Communications Squadron. Since its inception as the 30th Communications Squadron, the organization has been awarded 13 Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards and one Meritorious Unit Award.

55th Maintenance GroupThe 55th Maintenance Group’s

1,100 personnel are proud to be combat enablers, maintaining 29 combat ready

C-135s and four E-4B aircraft. The group executes an annual budget of $20 million and a 20,000-hour flying program to respond to Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed taskings, providing critical reconnaissance worldwide; develop maintenance plans to support Airborne Command Post and National Airborne Operations Center missions; and support five geographically separated units.

55th Maintenance Operations SquadronThe 55th Maintenance Operations Squadron

maintains combat readiness on 33 low-supply, high-demand aircraft, consisting of four E-4Bs and 29 C-135 derivative aircraft, by directing maintenance scheduling and analysis programs.

The unit manages all base mission capable assets while maintaining the Maintenance Operations Center. Unit members manage deployment readiness and maintenance training, including formal, ancillary and on-the-job training for the maintenance group’s 1,100 airmen. The unit also provides manpower, engine and facilities management, as well as computer network systems support.

55th Aircraft Maintenance SquadronThe 55th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron is the only

U.S. Air Force squadron maintaining 33 RC-135S/U/V/W Rivet Joint/Cobra Ball/Combat Sent, OC-135B Open Skies, WC-135W Constant Phoenix and E-4B National Airborne Operations Center aircraft, valued at more than $11.6 billion.

The unit manages an annual budget of $11.6 million and generates 4,500 sorties a year, providing the world’s premier intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and command and control capabilities. It includes 652 military and 109 contract maintainers in 19 Air Force Specialty Codes.

55th Maintenance SquadronThe 55th Maintenance Squadron ensures combat-

ready reconnaissance and command and control aircraft for Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed taskings. Unit members accomplish periodic inspection/repair for structural, pneudraulic, electro-environmental, fuels and avionic systems. They also maintain aerospace ground equipment and munitions, and support transient aircraft. The unit’s 309 military and civilian members manage an annual budget of $8.2 million.

55th Medical Group The 55th Medical Group operates the

Ehrling Bergquist Clinic, located near the Capehart military family housing area

on 25th Street and Capehart Road. The clinic provides complete medical services for eligible beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Prime. All other categories of beneficiaries may be seen on a space-available basis.

55th Mission Support GroupThe mission of the 55th Mission

Support Group is to provide vital support for Offutt AFB through engineering,

security, mission support, services, supply, transportation, contracting and deployment readiness programs to more than 57,000 active duty, dependent and retiree personnel and to more than 50 associated units, including U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force Weather Agency, the National Airborne Operations Center and presidential-tasked global reconnaissance missions.

55th Operations Group With more than 3,000 Airmen, 12

squadrons and one detachment, the 55th Operations Group is the largest and most diverse operations group in

the Air Force, flying all variants of the RC-135, OC-135, WC-135 and E-4B aircraft. The group operates these aircraft around the clock in every geographic command in support of the 55th’s global reconnaissance, contingency operations, treaty verification, National Command Authority support and command and control responsibilities. The group also supports the Federal Emergency Management Agency during times of natural disaster. Permanent overseas operating locations include RAF Mildenhall, England; Naval Support Activity Souda Bay, Crete and Kadena AB, Japan. The 55 OG also operates regularly from five temporary locations.

1st Airborne Command Control Squadron In conjunction with U.S. Strategic

Command’s National Airborne Operations Center, the 1st Airborne Command

Control Squadron provides the National Command Authority with a survivable command center from which they may make accurate decisions and transmit timely directions to U.S. military forces during all conditions of peace and war. The 1st ACCS traces its roots to the U.S. Army’s Company A, 2nd Balloon Squadron, established in 1917 at Fort Omaha, Neb., later to be consolidated with the Air Corps’ 1st Ferrying Squadron. The squadron at that time performed observation duties over Southern California and France in World War I. During World War II, the 1st Ferrying Squadron flew aircraft from the factory to units overseas until it was inactivated in 1944. The 1st ACCS reactivated in 1969, and flew specially modified EC-135 aircraft in support of the National Emergency Airborne Command Post, supporting the president of the United States. In 1973, the 1st ACCS converted to modified Boeing 747s, called E-4As, and in 1984 the unit completed the switch to the E-4B aircraft - currently in use today. On July 29, 1994, the National Emergency Airborne Command Post changed its name to the National Airborne Operations Center. Today, the 1st ACCS continues to proudly support the president and the National Military Command System.

38th Reconnaissance SquadronThe 38th represents electronic combat

at its finest; providing 170 combat-ready aircrew and support personnel for seven

RC-135W/V RIVET JOINT aircraft, the Air Force’s premier platform for providing real-time electronic intelligence to support the on-scene battlefield commanders. The 38th formed in 1941 at Arlington, Ore., where training began prior to duty with the 55th Operations Group for missions over Europe during World War II. The 38th flew the P-38 Lightning and the P-51 Mustang. On March 4, 1944, they earned the nickname of the “Berlin Buzz Boys” for being the first American unit to fly over and strafe Berlin. Later the unit became better known as the “Hellcats” for their enormous success in inflicting damage to German rail and air facilities, not to mention numerous dogfight victories. Today, the RIVET JOINT deploys worldwide, conducting contingency operations and reconnaissance missions in the face of potential hostilities. The unique intelligence collected by the RIVET JOINT is vital to our national policy makers throughout the full spectrum of conflict.



343rd Reconnaissance SquadronThe 343rd Reconnaissance Squadron

represents electronic combat at its finest. It provides flight crews composed of pilots,

navigators, electronic warfare officers, and airborne systems engineers for the RC-135W/V RIVET JOINT aircraft. The RJ is the Air Force’s premier platform providing real-time electronic intelligence to support on scene battlefield commanders. The RIVET JOINT deploys worldwide, conducting contingency operations and reconnaissance missions in the face of potential hostilities. The unique intelligence collected by the RIVET JOINT is vital to our national policy makers throughout the full spectrum of conflict. From its beginnings on Feb. 1, 1943, the 343rd has served at the front edge of worldwide events. Originally a fighter squadron, the members of the 343rd flew escort and strafing missions in P-51 Mustangs and P-38 Lightning fighters, providing escort for the bombers of the 8th Air Force over Germany and other European nations during World War II. In 1947, the 343rd turned in their guns for receivers, becoming a Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron, and assuming electronic warfare as their future mission. As part of Strategic Air Command, the 343rd flew the RB-29, RB-50, RB-47 and RC-135 to probe Soviet air defenses. The 343rd has also been involved in the liberation of Grenada and Panama, the 1986 Libyan raids, the Persian Gulf War, Operations Northern and Southern Watch, the Bosnia conflict, Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Dawn, Operation Unified Protector and the on-going Global War on Terrorism. For almost 60 years, its vital missions have relied heavily on well-trained people who continue the tradition of excellence that has become the hallmark of the 343rd Reconnaissance Squadron.

45th Reconnaissance Squadron

Throughout its history, the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron has been one of the most colorful units in the Air Force, with a battle record composed of the great campaigns of three wars, and a peacetime record of vital contributions to world-wide reconnaissance, treaty monitoring and pilot proficiency training. Organized on Aug. 17, 1943, at Orlando Air Base, Fla., as the 423rd Night Fighter Squadron, the 423rd was redesignated the 155th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron on June 22, 1944, and on Dec. 3, 1945, the 155th was redesignated the 45th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, Night Photographic. On July 1, 1994, the squadron was activated at Offutt as the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron, providing data for the National Command Authority, theater commanders and international treaty members. It is the most mission-diverse squadron in Air Combat Command. Squadron personnel fly world-wide reconnaissance and treaty missions on demand, often on extremely short notice.

338th Combat Training SquadronThe 338th Combat Training

Squadron prepares crew members for 10 other squadrons to execute worldwide

reconnaissance, treaty verification and command and control missions directed by the President, Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, theater commanders and national intelligence agencies. The 338th CTS dates back to the 338th Fighter Squadron of the 55th Fighter Group in World War II. From bases in England, the 338th Fighter Squadron flew P-38s and P-51s over Europe, escorting bombers as well as bombing and strafing enemy airfields, railroads and military installations. The 338th Fighter Squadron became the 338th Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron after World War II, providing electronic and photographic intelligence to the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing during the Cold War era. Projects included aerial surveillance of the Atlantic Ocean during the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The 338th was inactivated on Christmas day 1967 when Offutt accepted the RC-135 aircraft. In September 1999, the 338th Combat Training Squadron was activated and charged with performing the initial, difference, requalification and upgrade training for the largest and most diverse operations group in the Air Force.

55th Operations Support SquadronFormed on Sept. 1, 1991, the 55th

Operations Support Squadron consists of more than 200 people providing

a wide spectrum of support to the 55th Operations Group commander and 14 flying squadrons, including two Nebraska Air National Guard squadrons and one detachment, spanning the Pacific, European, Asian and continental United States theaters of operation. The squadron provides training and preparations support to deploy aircraft, aircrews and staff to direct actions for safe and effective nationally-tasked peacetime, contingency and combat flight operations worldwide. The squadron has one of the most diverse missions on base, serving as the focal point for consolidation of all aspects of RC-135 and E-4 operations and staff functions within the 55th Operations Group. These functions include: scheduling and documentation of all ground and flight training, pre-deployment training, current and forecast weather information to home station and deploying aircraft missions, airfield management, air traffic control and tower operations, combat crew communications

support, aircrew flight equipment training and support, water and field survival, aircraft and aircrew combat tactics development, nuclear operations training and certification and foreign language learning.

97th Intelligence SquadronThe 97th Intelligence Squadron is

the largest flying squadron in ACC and provides communications command and

control, and communications countermeasures support to the U.S. and allied forces. The unit conducts defensive studies of U.S. communications while developing and applying techniques and materials designed to ensure communications are secure and protected from hostile countermeasures. In addition to their worldwide duties, personnel from the 97th Intelligence Squadron have maintained a permanent deployed presence in Southwest Asia for the past two decades.

The 97th advises commanders concerning procedures and techniques that could be used to counter enemy command and control communications, and performs direction finding and range estimations in

support of search and rescue operations. The 97th began on Aug. 20, 1917 at Kelly Field in San Antonio, Texas as the 97th Aero Squadron. In October 1917 the unit earned the nickname the “Fightin’ 97th” from their first sergeant after a near street brawl with the 99th Aero Squadron. Soon after this incident the unit departed for France to participate in operations in WWI. Following the war, the squadron was demobilized on Feb. 3, 1919. On March 1, 1935, the squadron was reborn as the 97th Observation Squadron. Initially flying photographic missions documenting the eastern coastline, the unit soon found themselves flying anti-submarine patrols after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. In late 1942, the unit adopted the newer P-40 aircraft, and were renamed a Fighter Reconnaissance unit, focusing on support to ground forces. Later on Aug. 11, 1943 the unit was transitioned to the 97th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron and continued training units for overseas service until being disbanded on April 15, 1944. On July 1, 1963, the modern unit began as Detachment 1, 6940th Security Wing with a purpose to support the new worldwide RC-135 mission. In 1965, the unit was upgraded to a squadron and renamed the 6949th Security Squadron. On Oct. 1, 1993, the two sources of unit lineage were finally rejoined. The 97th Observation Squadron and the 6949th Electronic Security Squadron were consolidated into the 97th Intelligence Squadron. As part of the Air Force Intelligence Agency, the 97th continued to provide support to the RC-135 RIVET JOINT, RC-135U COMBAT SENT and RC-135S COBRA BALL. In the 2000’s the 97th Intelligence Squadron became a formal part of the 55th Wing, falling under the 55th Operations Group.

55th Intelligence Support SquadronThe 55th Intelligence Support Squadron

was activated on July 22, 2010 and was constructed from existing billets from

the 55th Operations Support Squadron and the 97th Intelligence Squadron. The squadron currently consists of over 230 Airmen across 30 AFSCs, government civilians and contractors from seven different companies, making it one of the Air Force’s most diverse units. The 55th ISS is the 55th Operations Group’s focal point for four distinct functions including: cryptologic management and oversight, intelligence support, worldwide mission equipment maintenance for RC-135 variant aircraft and Sensitive Compartmentalized Information security functions. As the 55th OG’s cryptologic voice, the 55th ISS advises 55th Wing and 55th OG leadership on

intelligence issues based on collaborative coordination with external agencies including Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency, National Security Agency and Air Combat Command. The intelligence support functions include operational intelligence support to wing staff and operational squadrons, the internal/external management of distributed Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination and Electronic Intelligence support teams to COMBAT SENT operations. One unique aspect of the 55th ISS is the aircraft mission equipment maintenance function that ensures the RC-135 fleet continues to prosecute its global ISR mission. The Flight Line Maintenance Technicians at the 55th ISS conduct all initial, difference and requalification training for current and future baseline aircraft systems. Finally, the security support function manages access, sustainment and requirements for the wing’s secure facilities and provides limited support to tenant units including STRATCOM. As the 55th WG’s global ISR mission continues to change and evolve, the 55th ISS will be there to provide the necessary support required to optimize our operations.

82nd Reconnaissance Squadron (Kadena AB, Japan)

The 82nd Reconnaissance Squadron flies RC-135 and WC-135 operational

reconnaissance missions throughout the Pacific theater. They provide combat ready staff and maintenance personnel to support multinational reconnaissance and contingency operations in the face of political instability and potential terrorist threats. The 82nd RS provides direct threat warning to combatant commanders and collects, analyzes and reports intelligence vital to national foreign policy decision makers.

as the 82nd Observation Squadron on June 1, 1937, the squadron flew fighters, photographic and armed reconnaissance missions in the A-20, B-25, P-39 and P-40. Active throughout the Pacific theater, the unit saw action in New Guinea, the New Britain Islands and the Shouten island group. Re-equipped with the P-51 Mustang, the 82nd continued to support landing operations in Borneo and the Philippines. In August 1945, pilots from the 82nd flew pre- and post-strike reconnaissance missions over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. After a brief period of inactivation, the 82nd Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron reactivated in 1954 and flew the RF-61 and RF-84. The unit entered the Cold War in 1967 at Yokota Air Base, Japan and transitioned permanently in January 1968 to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa. From the latter part of 1967, reconnaissance sorties were flown by RC-135s in support of the Vietnam conflict. The 82nd routinely flew other Strategic Air Command reconnaissance missions as well, performing peripheral reconnaissance missions over the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and Gulf of Tonkin. During the 1980s, Kadena became a forward operating base for RC-135

operations with the 376th Strategic Wing managing the operations, intelligence and maintenance functions. RC-135 aircraft and crews were deployed to Kadena from the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing at Offutt. The 82nd Reconnaissance Squadron reactivated on Oct. 2, 1991 as a stand-alone unit at Kadena, operating first under the Strategic Air Command and now currently under Air Combat Command.

War I, the unit served briefly at Kelly Field, Texas, before moving to France where it flew a combination of Nieuport 28 and Spad XIII biplanes and earned honors as the first squadron to fly combat missions. It was during this period that the 95th adopted the emblem of the kicking mule on a blue surround to mark their aircraft. The blue represented the unit’s arena of operations, while the kicking mule symbolized the unit’s striking power, “swift and accurate.” During the inter-war period, the 95th was moved, re-designated, and inactivated several times before becoming the 95th Bombardment Squadron in 1939. Flying B-18 Bolos and B-23 Dragons, the unit again led the charge when on the eve of WWII they were credited with sinking the first Japanese submarine off the coast of Oregon. The 95th made great contributions in North Africa and throughout the European Theater after the start of WWII flying the B-26 Marauder in bombing missions against the Germans. The squadron’s greatest WWII legacy however, came from the Pacific Theater where the 95th BS made up six of 16 crews in the Doolittle Raid. During the Korean War, the 95th flew combat from bases in Korea and Japan and was equipped with B-26 Invaders. The unit flew night intruder missions against communist troops throughout the war and transitioned to B-66s before inactivating in 1958. Reactivated in 1982 as the 95th Reconnaissance Squadron at RAF Alconbury, England, the unit flew the U-2 on politically sensitive missions throughout the years. The 95th flew combat operations in Iraq in 1991 before being inactivated in 1993. This squadron reactivated once again in 1994, replacing the existing 922nd Reconnaissance Squadron, and was assigned to the 55th Wing to operate the RC-135 aircraft throughout Europe. The men and women of the 95th RS are poised to respond to missions worldwide and the squadron remains one of the Air Force’s oldest and most decorated squadrons still in existence.

Detachment 1, 95th Reconnaissance Squadron (Souda Bay, Greece)

Detachment 1, 95th Reconnaissance Squadron, conducts reconnaissance and

air refueling operations throughout the Mediterranean, Middle East and African theaters in one of the most strategically critical missions flown today. The squadron ensures that sensitive missions are completed within the treaty limits imposed between the United States and Hellenic governments. As such, Det. 1 is the focal point for flight operations in the Southern European Command

region. As part of the 95th Reconnaissance Squadron at RAF Mildenhall, England, Det. 1 is organized under a “deployed concept” operation. An expeditionary squadron is stood up when 95th staff, maintenance and logistics support personnel flow in to augment the cadre of permanent party personnel actually stationed at Souda Bay, Greece. Recently, Det. 1 supported the initial flow and force bed down for over 735 U.S. Air Force personnel and 14 electronic combat and combat support aircraft tasked with conducting combat operations supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. Det. 1, 95th Reconnaissance Squadron has distinguished itself as the point of the spear for the 55th Wing’s Mediterranean commitments.

390th Intelligence Squadron (Kadena AB, Japan)

The 6990th Security Squadron was activated at Kadena AB, Japan, on July

15, 1967, by Maj. Gen. (then Lt. Col.) Doyle E. Larson. At that time, it was part of the 6992nd Security Wing based at Clark AB, Republic of the Philippines, with operational control vested in the Pacific Security Region, which eventually became the Pacific Electronic Security Division. The unit’s first mission was to provide RC-135 direct support to COMBAT APPLE operations in Southeast Asia. In September 1971, the unit was redesignated the 6990th Security Group to cope with its expanding cryptologic role in the Vietnam War. In July 1975, with the combat support missions ending and its responsibilities significantly reduced, the unit was again designated a squadron. When the U.S. Air Force Security Service became the Electronic Security Command in August 1979, the 6990th was renamed the 6990th Electronic Security Squadron. The reorganization expanded the command’s and unit’s operational mission to include the use of electronic warfare capabilities for both offensive and defensive combat operations in support of Air Force command, control and countermeasures. During this period, the unit became the workhorse for the command’s airborne operations. This increased responsibility once again elevated the unit to group status on May 1, 1980. On April 1, 1990, after restructuring the unit’s taskings, the 6990th was again designated a squadron. On Oct. 1, 1993, the 6990th Electronic Security Squadron was redesignated the 390th Intelligence Squadron. Almost a year later, the squadron was assigned the additional mission of providing direct support operations to Air Force Special Operations Command aircrews assigned



to the 353rd Special Operations Group. In February 2001, the Air Intelligence Agency and its subordinate units were realigned under 8th Air Force and Air Combat Command. On Oct. 1, 2002, the unit was realigned under the 55th Wing. Currently the unit has 138 personnel assigned and is tasked to support the U.S. Pacific Command and the U.S. Central Command.

488th Intelligence Squadron (RAF Mildenhall, England)

The 488th Intelligence Squadron operates the RC-135 RIVET JOINT and

is responsible for a variety of missions supporting tactical forces, regional commanders and national priorities around the globe. The “Bats” of the 488th IS trace their airborne reconnaissance lineage back more than 50 years to two security squadron detachments - one in Japan and the other in the United Kingdom. The Japan-based unit was formed in 1955 and activated as Detachment 1, 6924th Radio Squadron (Mobile), at Yokota AB. The unit conducted reconnaissance missions against

the former Soviet Union and North Korea in modified bomber aircraft known as RB-50s. This is also when the unit’s bat symbol originated, a term used by front-enders of the RB-50 to describe the dark, cave-like existence of the airmen in the back of the aircraft. The seven rays of sun on the unit’s patch represent the seven Bats who died in a crash during the unit’s first RB-50 mission from Japan. The unit was re-designated Operating Location 1, 6988th Security Flight in 1958; it subsequently became the 6988th Radio Squadron (Mobile), and was deactivated in 1972. The United Kingdom heritage of the 488th began with the 6954th Security Squadron, originally designated Detachment 1, 6985 SS at RAF Upper Heyford in 1967. The unit moved to RAF Mildenhall, United Kingdom, in 1970, where it resides today. In 1980, the unit was redesignated as the 6988th Electronic Security Squadron to honor the historic, Japan-based reconnaissance unit. In 1993, the squadron was redesignated the 488th IS. In 2002, the 488th was realigned to the 67th Information Operations Wing under the 55th Wing at Offutt AFB.

U.S. Strategic Command, one of nine unified combatant commands of the Department of Defense, is responsible for detecting, deterring and preventing strategic attacks against the U.S. and our allies. USSTRATCOM responds to today’s complex, dynamic and uncertain global security environment thanks to an integrated organization executing a diverse set of global responsibilities that directly contribute to national security.

Including components, the command employs more than 4,100 people, representing all four military services, Department of Defense civilians and contractors, who oversee the command’s global operations – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A functional combatant command with trans-regional areas of responsibility, USSTRATCOM has evolved from a narrow focus on nuclear war-planning to an integrated portfolio of dynamic strategic capabilities to successfully redefine global deterrence and confront

the full range of national security challenges with timely, effective and precision effects.

USSTRATCOM carries responsibility for nine mission areas as assigned by the Unified Command Plan: strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; integrated missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; global strike; analysis and targeting; and combating weapons of mass destruction. These mission areas are critical to deterring strategic attack; to providing the nation with a safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent force; to building enduring relationships with partner organizations to confront the broad range of global challenges; to addressing challenges in space; to building cyberspace capability and capacity; and to anticipating change and confronting uncertainty with agility and innovation.

OFFUTT HISTORY

The Fort Crook Era For more than a century, Offutt AFB has played a key

role in American military history. From its beginnings as Fort Crook in the late 1800s, Offutt has adapted to the defense needs of the United States. The historical significance of Offutt is a source of pride for military and community members alike.

Offutt’s great heritage began with the construction of Fort Crook between 1894 and 1896, some 10 miles south of Omaha and two miles west of the Missouri River. The fort’s namesake was Maj. Gen. George Crook, a renowned Indian fighter and Civil War hero. Many of the original buildings constructed on the post before 1900, including the confinement facility and various enlisted and officers quarters, are still in use today.

The 61st Balloon Company became the first air unit to command the post on Sept. 10, 1918. In the spring

of 1921, the plowing, leveling and seeding of 260 acres of land at Fort Crook created an airfield suitable for frequent takeoffs and landings, and a refueling point for military and air mail aircraft on cross-country flights.

The airfield portion of Fort Crook was designated Offutt Field on May 10, 1924, in honor of 1st Lt. Jarvis J. Offutt. Killed while flying with the Royal Air Force in France, Lt. Offutt was Omaha’s first World War I air casualty.

World War II and the Martin Bomber Plant

In 1940, as American involvement in World War II loomed, the Army Air Corps chose Fort Crook as the site for a new bomber plant. The plant’s construction included two mile-long concrete runways, six large hangars and a huge 1.7-million sq. ft. aircraft-assembly building.

The Glenn L. Martin Company began producing bombers here in January 1942, with the plant reaching full-scale production June 8, 1942. A total of 531 B-29 Superfortresses and 1,585 B-26 Marauders were built at

the Martin-Nebraska bomber plant before the end of World War II. These aircraft included the Enola Gay and Bock’s Car, the two B-29s that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Production ended on Sept. 18, 1945, when the last B-29 rolled out of the assembly building.

In June 1946, the Army Air Force re-designated Fort Crook and the Martin-Nebraska facilities as Offutt Field. Just 18 months later, on Jan. 13, 1948, Offutt Field transferred to the new Department of the Air Force and became Offutt Air Force Base. Later that same year, on Sept. 26, the 3902nd Air Base Wing became the host unit at Offutt.

OFFUTT HISTORY

Strategic Air CommandAt one minute past midnight, Nov. 9, 1948, Offutt

gained international prominence when it became the host base for Headquarters Strategic Air Command. Air Force Secretary Stuart Symington chose to locate the headquarters for the Air Force’s crucial long-range atomic strike force at Offutt primarily because the base was centrally located on the North American continent, placing it well beyond the existing range of potentially hostile bombers or missiles.

The old frontier fort underwent startling changes in the Cold War years that followed. Operations at Offutt included the basing of alert air refueling tankers in the late 1950s and 1960s and support for intercontinental ballistic missile sites in Nebraska and Iowa in the 1960s.

Further enhancing Offutt’s role as a center of military importance, were establishment of the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff here in 1960, posting the Looking Glass airborne command post here in 1961, activation of Air Force Global Weather Central in 1969, and arrival of the National Emergency Airborne Command Post mission in 1977.

Offutt’s population and facilities grew dramatically to keep pace with increased operational demands. Several new dormitories and more than 2,000 family housing units — built in the late 1950s and 1960s quickly replaced the old quarters of Fort Crook.

Headquarters SAC moved from the Martin-Nebraska complex to Building 500 in 1957, and new base facilities in the 1960s and 1970s included a hospital, main exchange, commissary and library.

Increased defense spending in the 1980s brought additional operational improvements, including the wing’s special operations building, the Bennie L. Davis Aircraft Maintenance Complex, and a new underground command center for SAC.

USSTRATCOM and the 55th WingOn Sept. 1, 1991, the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance

Wing became the 55th Wing to better reflect its diverse mission. Shortly thereafter Offutt again faced monumental changes in 1992 when the easing of world tensions allowed the United States to reorganize its Air Force. The Strategic Air Command was disestablished June 1, 1992, and a new, unified command called U.S. Strategic Command was established.

With this historic change, the operational control of Offutt became the responsibility of Air Combat Command, another of the Air Force’s new commands. In 2002, the Department of Defense announced the merger of U.S. Strategic Command with U.S. Space Command. The new U.S. Strategic Command is a global integrator charged with the missions of space operations; information operations; integrated missile defense; global command and control; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; global strike; and strategic deterrence.

The 55th Wing continues to lead the fight by providing dominant Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; electronic attack; command and control; and precision awareness to national leadership and warfighters across the spectrum of conflict – any time, any place. It is the largest wing in ACC and has been continuously deployed to the Middle East for more than 22 years going back to the onset of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

The 55th Wing commemorated a combat airpower milestone in January 2007. It reached 6,000 continuous days of deployed service in the Southwest Asia area of responsibility. Deployed since the onset of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the men and women of the 55th Wing are continuing that service on a daily basis in the Global War on Terror.

This former Army outpost, once hard pressed to support a few hundred soldiers, is in its second century of service, its resources and facilities accommodating a combined military and civilian work force of more than 10,000 and supporting nearly 30,000 family members and retirees.

AREA SCHOOLS

Papillion-La Vista Public Schools The Papillion-La Vista School District’s mission is “to

prepare all students to be productive responsible citizens in a changing society through superior educational programs in a safe and supportive environment.”

The school district recognizes the needs of its children, whether by giving a child with extraordinary gifts and talents opportunities through the High Ability Learning program, helping students with disabilities or who require assistance going from the school to work worlds a chance to succeed through the Special Education and Young Adult Transition programs, or helping pre-school age children with developmental delays get on the right track through Early Childhood Services.

PLSD, serving the communities of Papillion and La Vista, has three high schools – Papillion-La Vista, Papillion- La Vista South and the Alternative High School program (IDEAL). Two junior high schools – Papillion and La Vista – prepare students for high school. Fourteen elementary schools are the beginning of the children’s learning.

Students at all of the schools undergo more rigorous testing than the state’s standard. PLSD writes its own assessments, which are more than multiple-choice tests. Students must perform skills, such as reading or completing a math problem, under the district’s assessments. Staff members at PLSD believe the high standard of testing improves student learning, according to the district’s Web site.

Students in all age ranges are immersed in the community through the School Business Partnership, Cooperation BEST program. According to the Web site, “Cooperation BEST businesses and organizations are paired with schools or

educational programs to assist in preparing our students for tomorrow. Partnerships are on going, dynamic relationships that must be mutually beneficial for the school and the business.”

PLSD also participates in the TeamMates program, which encourages students to further their education after high school. Youth meet with a volunteer adult mentor one hour a week. Through staff and community members, students at PLSD are given a chance to succeed.

“I know the foundation for a great school district comes from a team approach where the staff, students, parents and community are equally focused on what is best for each child. If you see me out and about, introduce yourself and share your thoughts and ideas about the Papillion-La Vista School District. Together, we will ensure the current and continued success of our District.” – Superintendent Andy Rikli, Ed.D.

Bellevue Public Schools Bellevue Public Schools takes great pride in educating the

children in the Bellevue/Offutt community. At BPS, students find teachers who, like them, grew up in

a military family. From a young age, the students can relate to their teachers, who likely moved several times and attending different schools.

Bellevue teachers welcome linguists from Offutt who can work with the students to provide them an opportunity for enrichment many districts don’t have.

BPS offers more than 100 basic courses of study as well as advanced placement and high ability learner programs. Its special education program is also exemplary.

There are 20 schools in the district, including a new elementary school in its inaugural year – Bellevue Elementary School in the Lakewood Villages subdivision.

In the classroom, BPS is sure to keep up with the latest technology. Last year, the three middle schools all used new devices called “clickers” to increase student achievement. They give teachers immediate feedback about what the students need work on, the clickers can cut down on the amount of work teachers are taking home with them, since the system collects the answers and grades them.

The district purchased almost 1,500 of the clickers two summers ago for $98,750.

For now, smaller elementary schools like Bertha Barber and Central get 25 clickers, bigger ones have 50, the largest elementary schools like Fairview have 75, middle schools each have 120 and the high schools have 150.

GETTING STARTEDAREA SCHOOLS

Outside of the classroom, BPS offers a wide variety of extracurricular programs for students, such as DECA, theater, National Honor Society and athletics.

The Junior ROTC groups at both Bellevue East and West often earn top awards at regional and national competitions. They also initiate leadership activities in school and community service.

During the last school year, the Bellevue West girls’ basketball team won the Class A state championship. The West boys’ basketball team made it to the state tournament for the sixth year in a row, and Thunderbirds football team made it to the playoffs for the sixth straight year.

Students who choose to cheer on their athletes and peers in other programs, such as theater, they can do so free of charge. BPS is the only district in the area that does not charge student fees.

Instead of chairs and desks, the outdoor classroom features logs and tree stumps. It also has a sandpit, a porch from which to play music, a butterfly exploration section and a picnic area for snacks and lunch.

Gretna Public Schools School District No. 37 was created as a small district

to save the village of Gretna in 1888. The first school to serve Gretna children was located across the road from the LaBorde Cemetery outside Gretna. A two-story brick schoolhouse was constructed in 1889 south of Angus Street across from St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Its size was doubled in 1908, and a gymnasium was added in 1936.

As the village grew, so did the school district. Through minor consolidation over the years and a major consolidation in 1958, the district has grown to its present size of 70-square miles.

Located just 10 miles from the city limits of Omaha and within 20 minutes driving time of the major shopping areas of Omaha, the district has become the home of numerous commuters. The community uniquely weaves its large city ties with a rural character as agriculture remains the primary industry of the area.

In December 1994, a bond was passed to allow construction of a middle school designed with the flexibility

to be converted to a high school. The school building opened in 1997.

In November 2002, Gretna voters approved a $21.1 million bond to help pay for construction of additional classroom space, a theater and competition gymnasium at the school that would become the high school in time for the 2005-06 school year.

On Nov. 15, 2005, voters of the district passed a bond issue of $20.9 million to build a third elementary school. This money would also be used for renovation and additions to the Gretna Middle School, Gretna Elementary School, transportation buildings, technology updates and the purchase of land for future building sites.

The third elementary school – Palisades Elementary – is located northwest of 168th Street and Cornhusker Road for the 2007-08 school year. That year was the first time elementary students attended an elementary school in the respective area near their home. Previous to that, all kindergarten, first- and second-grade students attended Gretna Elementary while all third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students went to Squire John Thomas Elementary.

South Sarpy District 46 South Sarpy District 46 is the district serving Springfield

and the surrounding rural areas. The district includes Platteview High School, Platteview

Central Junior High, Springfield Elementary located in Springfield and Westmont Elementary located in the subdivision of Westmont.

In 1958, residents living in 13 rural Class 1 school districts in Sarpy County voted affirmatively to merge into a single Class III school district. In 1959, the patrons of the new school district then passed a $890,000 bond issue with 85 percent support to buy land and build a new junior/senior high school.

The Platteview Trojans are well known throughout the region as strong contenders in all academic and athletic contests. The teams are backed by strong parent and booster groups in addition to community members who deeply care about their alma mater.

A full and well-researched curriculum awaits each student in South Sarpy schools and is taught in classrooms where the teacher student ratio really is something to brag about. The ratio at the elementary and secondary levels is 1 teacher to every 11 students.
