United Gives Break to Pet Owners On PCS
Moves
United Airlines is making an exception for military families who ship their
pets on that airline when making permanent change-of-station (PCS)
moves and developed a special process for military families.
Under this new policy, military travelers on PCS orders will be able to ship
their pets under United’s “PetSafe” program without having to pay an addi-
tional fee to a third-party freight forwarder which typically could add an esti-
mated $1,500 to $4,000 per pet to a traveler’s costs.
Military families should contact a United PetSafe desk for details on the
special process. To read further about this new pet program, please see:

OPERATION AT EASE
Operation At Ease (OAE) is a resort situated two hours east of Fort Bragg at Saint
James Plantation, NC. Volunteers at the coastal community have created a resort
specifically for Soldiers and their families to take it easy, enjoy some peace, and
generally feel at ease beside the Atlantic Ocean. OAE operates on an eight-month
schedule, hosting Families between the months of March and October, with few
exceptions on the second and fourth weekends of the month. To sign up for a
weekend with Operation At Ease, apply through the Operation At Ease website at
www.oaeamerica.org.

Between multiple deployments, relocations and time spent apart, Military Families must
learn to make every second together count. While Soldiers are protecting our country,
their Families are doing their part on the homefront to keep the tight-knit community
from unraveling.
To honor their sacrifices and to celebrate April as Month of the Military Child, The
Mountaineer staff is looking for four Fort Drum youths who show exceptional character
at home, in school and in the community. Submissions will be accepted through March 9
and should be limited to 200 words.
Children will be selected based on the following criteria:
* Scholastic activities and involvement
* Family contribution (helping out at home, chores, etc.)
* Community activities and involvement
* Leadership skills
* Volunteer service
* Academic standing / achievement
* Other activities, such as clubs, internships and summer work
Include any awards and honors the child has achieved.
A nominee must be a student within grades 7-12 and reside with a military service mem-
ber assigned at Fort Drum.
Selections will be made before April 1. The Mountaineer will highlight each child with a
feature article and photos on the "Mountaineer People" page (B3). Families with more
than one child may submit one entry per child or a combined entry.
To submit a child for consideration, email the essay in a Word document to
drum.pao@conus.army.mil with the words ―Military Child Nominee‖ in the subject line.
Include the child‘s name and age, and the military parent‘s name, unit and telephone
number.
If a child is selected to be featured, The Mountaineer staff reserves the right to reprint
any part of the essay in the article.
Submissions received after the deadline will not be considered.
