bladders at an area known as
ramp storage. When given the
word, troops at Bertha turn on
one pump that transfers fuel
to the flight line ramp storage
{more bladders). When an
aircraft needs fuel, as they do
several times a day, controllers
get the call from the mainte-
nance operations center and
trucks are dispatched. The
drivers climb into the cabs ol
their trucks, un-affectionately
dubbed "hot boxes" because of
their lack of air conditioning,
and get on their way. The
daytime temperatures average
around 120 degrees, but reach
150 degrees on the flight line
where they spend most of their
time sweating and drinking
plenty of water. In conclusion,
every POL troop from the first
rotation to the departure of the
second crew who worked in
wind blown sand, miserable
hot temperatures, slept in
tents, and drank gallons of
bottled water, can hold their
heads up high, and be proud
of the fact that they are the
success of operations in Af-
ghanistan. Sixty plus person-
nel can honestly say that
"without Fuel Pilots are Pe-
destrians', our unofficial slo-
gan that is not exactly politi-
cally correct, but it does speak
volumes about the attitude
and pride of PaL from a new
troop to a seasoned veteran.

Web site was enhanced to make it
more attractive and fun for kids
(ages 4 and up) to learn about
fresh fruits and vegetables. There,
kids can:
• Take an interactive adven-
ture on a make-believe farm.
• Paint coloring book pages
online.
• Discover different ways to
use produce items in crafts.
Children can find easy recipes
that contain their favorite fruits
and vegetables, plus get answers to
produce questions.

Seniors Hold Key To
Lower Drug Prices
(NAPS)--Seniors hold a key to
making drugs more affordable this
year--their vote. As drug costs rise
and drug benefits are cut, pressure
is reaching critical mass for adding
Medicare drug coverage.
According to recent government
data, spending on prescription
drugs doubled in five years. "Any
seniors will tell you their cost-of-
living adjustment doesn't come
close to covering these increases,"
says George A. Smith, Chairman
of TREA Senior Citizens League
(TSCL).
Proposals in Congress would
add a voluntary prescription drug
benefit to Medicare, but Congress
is divided on how to fund the
expensive benefit.
"Seniors who can't afford their
prescription drugs should contact
their Members of Congress and ask
for help now," added Smith. "Then
they should be sure they are regis-
tered to vote."
For more information on this
issue, contact TREA Senior Citizens
League, Department N20201, 909

Alexandria, VA 22314 or, visit
