Interstate compacts ease school transitions
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal last month signed into law the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, known in the military community as "the compact." The compact is designed to help ease the transition of military children as they move between school systems across the country. Because of the mobile lifestyle of military Families, military children will attend, on average, six to nine different school systems before they graduate high school.

Hotline: Walker Gate changes made to avert accidents
On April 18, 2012 Fort Belvoir (Directorate of Emergency Services) changed the traffic pattern at Walker Gate. It restricted out-going traffic from making a left turn between the hours of 5 and 9 a.m. This was done to ‘allegedly’ improve the traffic flow into Fort Belvoir and along the Mount Vernon Parkway during those peak commuting hours.

Popular event affected by unfortunate circumstances
The Fort Belvoir Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation kicked off its much anticipated the 2012 Trout Fest event on Saturday. Early during the event, staff observed that the trout were not active and it was determined, after investigation and to our dismay, that the fish were no longer viable. The DFMWR staff immediately halted the event and began issuing refunds at the Fort Belvoir Community Center to our customers.

Drinking and driving: It's not a new problem
Drunken driving actually began before the invention of cars. As soon as a person climbed onto the back of another animal, there must have been drunken horse, camel and elephant riders. Drinking played a large role in going to sea also.

Hang up and drive
I remember a time without cell phones, when you had to stretch the cord to its maximum limit to have a private conversation … most likely away from your parents. Now you can just pull the phone out of your pocket and close the door.
