NJP — also referred to as an Article 15, in reference to the Uniform Code of Military Justice which authorizes the action — is a tool that provides commanders with an essential and swift means of maintaining good order and discipline. A member must accept NJP as a forum for allegations of misconduct or demand trial by court-martial once NJP is offered by a commander. NJP is designed to promote behavioral changes in service members without the stigma that comes with a criminal conviction at trial. NJP lies between a Letter of Reprimand and a court-martial on the spectrum of the continuum of discipline, whose ultimate goal is to promote rehabilitation in service members to encourage them to adhere to standards.

The following NJPs were effectuated at Edwards AFB during the fourth quarter of 2024:

A Staff Sgt. (E-5) assigned to 163 CES attempted to climb a barrier, after consuming alcoholic beverages, causing them to fall and hit their head, while deployed, in violation of Article 92 (Failure to obey). The member was punished with a reduction to the grade of Senior Airman (E-4), forfeiture of $1,598.00 per month for two months (suspended), and a reprimand.

A Senior Airman (E-4) assigned to 412 AMXS made repeated statements and jokes using indecent language which caused a hostile working environment in a violation of Article 134 for (Indecent language). The member was punished with a reduction to the grade of Airman First Class (E-3), forfeiture of $1,340.00, and a reprimand.

A Staff Sgt. (E-5) assigned to 412 HCOS used THC-8 in violation of Article 92 (Failure to obey). The member was punished with a reduction to the grade of Senior Airman (E-4), forfeiture of $1,598.00 per month for two months (suspended), and a reprimand.

A Senior Airman (E-4) assigned to 412 OSS failed to perform a proper inspection and signed an official record indicating that the inspection was performed properly in violation of Article 92 (Dereliction of duty) and Article 107 (Sign false official document). The member was punished with a reduction to the grade of Airman First Class (E-3) and a reprimand. 

An Airman First Class (E-3) assigned to 412 SFS was not present at their duty location and left a loaded firearm unsecured in a gun rack in violation of Article 86 (Failure to go to place of duty) and Article 92 (Dereliction of duty). The member was punished with a reduction to the grade of Airman (E-2, suspended), 30 days restriction to base (suspended), 15 days extra duty, and a reprimand.

Involuntarily discharging a service member from the United States Air Force may be an appropriate action for a commander or civilian director to take when a member has demonstrated an inability to meet Air Force standards. Common bases for discharges include, but are not limited to: drug abuse, sexual assault, a civilian court conviction, or a series of minor misconduct. Discharges can result in one of three service characterizations: honorable, under honorable conditions (general), and under other than honorable conditions.

The following discharge action was completed during the fourth quarter of 2024:

An Airman First Class (E-3) assigned to 412 SFS was discharged for drug abuse. The member received a general service characterization. 

The federal magistrate court program is run in conjunction with the United States Attorney’s Office. Edwards Security Forces personnel are empowered to issue citations for traffic violations and criminal activities that occur on a federal reservation. Those actions are then prosecuted in Federal Magistrate Court by judge advocates with the 412 Test Wing Office of the Staff Judge Advocate appointed as Special Assistant United States Attorneys. This tool is primarily useful to ensure enforcement of standards for civilians, including military dependents, DoD employees, contractor employees, and any other civilian present on Edwards AFB or United States Air Force Industrial Plant 42 who commits traffic violations or misdemeanor crimes on our federal reservations. By contrast, violations of traffic laws and the criminal code by service members are
addressed under the UCMJ.

Driving on and Department of Defense installation, including Edwards AFB and Plant 42, is a privilege. The expectation is that everyone will strictly adhere to the traffic laws on the installation. The Defense Department standard for miles allowed over posted speed limits on military installations is zero! In 2023, 412 SFS personnel issued over 1,300 traffic citations. Approximately 1,100 of those citations were issued to base affiliated civilians resulting in the imposition of nearly $60,000 in fines. For the safety and security of everyone who lives and works on our installation, please follow the posted speed limit signs, make a full stop at stop signs, and don’t drink and drive!

The following magistrate court citations were closed out during the fourth quarter of 2024:

56 civilians were cited for speeding.
They received an average fine of $250.00.

9 civilians were cited for failing to stop at stop signs.
They received an average fine of $264.00.

6 civilians were cited for not having their drivers’ licenses in possession.
They received an average fine of $253.00.

2 civilians were cited for expired registration.
They received an average fine of $115.00.

A civilian was cited for following too close.
They were fined $160.00.

A civilian was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol.
They were fined $3,055.00.

The repaving project will transition to lane restriping during daylight hours prior to 3:30 daily beginning approximately April 29. This will also result in moving lane closures that may cause temporary traffic stoppage.

Drivers should anticipate significant traffic delays on Rosamond Blvd. throughout the length of the repaving project, which Kern County officials expect to last through the end of May or early June.

Look to The Tower for updates on future phases of the road project.

For more information, please contact the Public Affairs Office at 661-277-3510.

Beginning on Monday, April 7, and continuing through Aug. 20, a road repair project for South Lancaster Blvd. (between Rosamond Blvd. and Jones Road) will occur. The project includes crack sealing and repairs, slurry seal operations and striping operations.  The roadway will remain open during the work and will occur during non-peak traffic times; however, there will be lane closures during the duration of the project.  A traffic control plan will be in place with cones, reduced speed and construction flagmen, so please use caution when driving through this area.

The Desert Tortoise is one of the many animals found on Edwards AFB.  Listed as threatened under the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, Desert Tortoises are protected from unwarranted harassment or injury.  The 412th Civil Engineer Group’s Environmental Management Division wants to remind base residents to be on the lookout for Desert Tortoises, especially near or crossing roadways.

Desert Tortoises are the most active between March and May and again between September and October, but can emerge any time throughout the year, especially during and after rainfall.  Tortoise signs have been placed in various locations throughout the installation over the years due to reoccurring Desert Tortoise sightings along roads, near buildings, and under parked cars where Desert Tortoises seek shelter from the elements.  People working or living on Edwards AFB are encouraged to check under and around vehicles prior to moving their vehicles, especially if parked near open desert.

If a Desert Tortoise is seen and not in immediate danger, people are advised not to touch the animal and monitor the animal until it reaches safety.  The Environmental Management Division should be contacted immediately if a tortoise is seen, whether in danger or not.  Only authorized and trained people are allowed to touch a Desert Tortoise in non-emergency situations.  Unauthorized handling could result in a $50,000 fine and jail time.

If a motorist encounters a Desert Tortoise in immediate danger on or near the road, they can pick up the Desert Tortoise and move it off the road, according to the Environmental Management Division.  Slowly approach the Desert Tortoise from its front, pick it up by its sides, keep it level, and place the tortoise pointed in the same direction it was heading at least 100 feet off the road in a shady place.  After moving a Desert Tortoise, call the Environmental Management Division so a trained biologist can make sure the animal is okay.

Anyone who encounters a Desert Tortoise in distress should call the Environmental Management Division at 661-277-1401.

MESSAGE 
We want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your continued support of the Airman’s Attic. It's a pleasure to serve our community, and we are proud to provide this valuable resource for everyone. However, we must also address an important issue that has arisen over the past few weeks. Our Airman’s Attic is run entirely by dedicated volunteers who generously give their time and effort to keep this space open and welcoming for all. Unfortunately, we have noticed an increase in the amount of time our volunteers have had to spend cleaning up after visits—often extending their time by four hours or more due to items being left out of place and general disarray. We kindly ask for your cooperation in making sure that you put items back where you found them and clean up after yourselves. Maintaining a tidy environment is essential not only for the enjoyment of the patrons, but for the safety of everyone visiting and working at the Airman’s Attic. A respectful space allows us to continue serving everyone effectively. Thank you for your understanding and support. We truly appreciate your efforts in helping us keep the Airman’s Attic a place for all.

While there are no specific or credible threats, we must remain situationally aware and vigilant to deter and detect potential threats should they emerge. For example, per nationwide sources, other law enforcement, government reporting and open-source information, Tesla owners have received threats that if they don't sell their cars, they'll be vandalized. Furthermore, on March 29, protesters worldwide are preparing for their largest demonstration yet. There are 500 coordinated “actions” at Tesla showrooms and encouragement to extend protests to charging stations. Personnel in public areas could become collateral damage during a vandalizing or some other event. 
We want base personnel to take the following actions:
► Be aware of your immediate surroundings and remain alert on base (includes in and around work centers) and off base (especially in the presence of Tesla branded items).
► Report any suspicious activity to Security Forces (661) 277-3340 on base or to local law enforcement off base.
► Remain situationally aware of any demonstrations in your immediate area.
► Watch local news and check online news alerts.
► Avoid any potential protest sites.
► Do not engage with protestors or make any public statements while in uniform.
► Phrase “See Something, Say Something” is a reminder that all DOD members and their families must recognize for its significance and value to thwarting potential threats.
► Refer to Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Pocket Card 5260 for additional Antiterrorism Individual Protective Measures.  This can be obtained from each unit’s respective antiterrorism representative.
Questions can be directed to the Installation Antiterrorism Office at 661-277-4009 or 4004.

Our adversaries will attempt to take advantage of our services members, DoD/DAF Civilians and DoD/DAF contractors due to recent US government actions. Due to the recent government agency shutdowns, layoffs, resignations, and terminations it would be highly likely for members to receive solicitations, job offers and requests through social media, email and other electronic means. OSI Detachment 111 is not attempting to impede your progression into other employment, if you so chose, however the companies who may solicit may be operating under nefarious purposes. If you feel you may be solicited, members are encouraged to not reply or delete these messages and report them immediately to OSI Detachment 111 at john.grabowicz@us.af.mil or 277-1138

HFKC relies on the generous support and assistance of our Guardians who help to ensure that every veteran has a safe and memorable experience in Washington DC and after the flight. 

Guardians duties include, but are not limited to physically assisting the veterans while walking or pushing transport chairs, throughout the airports and airplane flights, as well as at the hotel and memorials. Each Guardian pays their own fee of $1,200 (subject to change) which includes all travel expenses of airfare, hotel, meals, tour buses & tips, admission fees, as well as three RED HFKC shirts, overnight & snack bags. Souvenir purchases are not included. Guardian fee payment is due 14 days prior to flight or at Meet & Greet, whichever occurs earliest. Each applicant may be subject to an interview, as well as a Live Scan review. Participating as a Guardian is physically strenuous as there is much walking (up to 7 miles per day), carrying the Veteran bags, pushing a veteran in the transport chair up mild inclines, and loading bags and chairs in buses. Please be aware of the physical demands BEFORE submitting your application.

Go to: www.honorflightkerncounty.org to complete and submit your application.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d), mandates that Federal agencies ensure their information and communication technology (ICT) is accessible to employees with disabilities. This means that when developing, procuring, maintaining, or using ICT, Federal employees with disabilities must have access to and use of information and data comparable to that of their non-disabled counterparts, unless doing so would impose an undue burden on the agency.

For any Section 508 matters, please contact your Base Section 508 Coordinators, Elissya Searcy and Erika Lybbert. They serve as technical advisors, offering guidance on Section 508 requirements, ensuring you get the assistance you need to comply with these essential accessibility standards.
