I believe that reminding our subordinates about NOK administration, wills and basic estate planning is very important.  I've known too many ostensibly healthy people to suddenly die young and on one occasion, the member left behind a non-working wife and three small children with only minimal...

A bit off topic but...  As of two years ago, the RCAF Mess in Ottawa was holding an annual Air Force Mess Dinner.  The mess heavily subsidized it ($25/person) and a very diverse cross-section of the NCR's air community showed up.  I attended about 3-4 years ago and it was a very nice affair with...
