► 2026 State Primary Elections
To register and request an absentee ballot use FVAP’s easy online assistant at www.fvap.gov/FPCA to walk you through state-specific form completion. Once you complete the FPCA, print, sign, and send it to your election office. Most states accept the FPCA by email or fax while some require it by mail. Check your state-specific guidelines at FVAP.gov. Once you receive your requested absentee ballot, vote and return it as soon as you get it. Remember to carefully follow the instructions, especially using a “security envelope” if required, and sign the package as indicated when returning it. To save time, send voted ballots electronically if allowed by state law. Voters can check if their state accepts completed absentee ballots by email, fax, or via an online portal at FVAP.gov/guide. If a requested ballot has not arrived, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) immediately at www.fvap.gov/FWAB. It works like a backup ballot. If your official absentee ballot arrives after sending in the FWAB, complete and send in the official ballot, too. Only one will be counted. To make sure the voted ballot is received by your state. Go to FVAP.gov, click on your state and then the "check the status of your voted ballot" button. To find your state's election website for specific information on candidates, elections, contact information, and links to your local election offices, visit FVAP.gov and select your state from the dropdown menu. You can also reach out directly to your election office for status updates on your registration and absentee ballot. For additional information on the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), or need help with the absentee voting process, please go to FVAP.gov, call 703-588-1584 (Toll free 1-800-438-VOTE or DSN 425-1584), or email (vote@fvap.gov). You may also contact your Unit Voting Assistance Officer (UVAO) or the Installation Voting Assistance Officer (IVAO) located at the Military & Family Readiness Center (M&FRC) via the following link: https://www.fvap.gov/info/contact and click on United States Air Force 

The Edwards AFB Veterinary Treatment Facility is gradually reopening services to privately owned animals of active-duty service members and retirees. Personnel must present military identification prior to each appointment.
📅 Service Details and Scheduling Priorities
Initial availability will be limited to a few days per month. Clinic staff prioritize scheduling for inbounding service members on permanent change of station orders. As personnel levels increase, the clinic plans to offer wellness exams, preventive care and vaccinations, medications, health certificates for travel. The clinic currently operates without an assigned technician, which severely limits overall appointment availability.
📋 Mandatory Registration and Contact Information
All privately owned animals residing on base must be registered with the Veterinary Treatment Facility. Please contact us by calling 661-275-2177 or sending an email to edwardsafbvtf@gmail.com. 
🧳 Pet Travel Resources
Service members relocating with pets should review destination-specific requirements and coordinate appointments with their veterinarian. The U.S. Department of Agriculture provides comprehensive travel guidelines on the USDA APHIS Pet Travel website. Please contact the clinic directly to begin your registration or to inquire about upcoming appointment blocks.

The office of Special Investigations, Detachment 111, is working vigilantly to identify, neutralize and exploit foreign intelligence entities. 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 other government actions, it would be highly likely for members to receive solicitations, job offers, information requests through social media, email and other electronic means. Some of these attempts can be done through email phishing attempts as well. If you feel you may be solicited or have received suspicious messages, members are encouraged to not reply or delete these messages and report immediately to the OSI Det. 111 at john.grabowicz@us.af.mil or 661-277-5106.

The Education and Training Center is excited to introduce a new support brief to walk enlisted members through how to use AF COOL funding for industry-recognized certifications, covering eligibility requirements, timelines, and common pitfalls.

It's never too early to prepare for retirement! Retirement planning is not a one-time event, but a career-long strategy of financial literacy and mindfulness. It is recommended you begin planning at least five years before your projected retirement date.  

The myFSS Civilian Benefits and Retirement homepage offers several knowledge articles to assist you with planning and applying for retirement. The articles explain your benefits, requirements to continue benefits into retirement, retirement eligibility and much more. The homepage is located at: https://myfss.us.af.mil/USAFCommunity/s/knowledge-detail?pid=kA0t0000000wkzfCAA.  

In addition to the myFSS knowledge articles, the Government Retirement Benefits (GRB) Platform offers a ‘Resource Library’ of videos and information regarding retirement and benefits. Additionally, employees who have “pure” service may obtain an annuity estimate using the ‘Retirement Calculator’. “Pure service” is service fully creditable for retirement purposes, i.e., no breaks in service and all service is covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). The GRB Platform is located at: https://grbplatform.us.af.mil.  

The Benefits & Entitlements Service Team (BEST) also offers regularly scheduled Benefits 101 and FERS Retirement briefings to provide additional information and answer general questions for participants.  

If you are retiring within the next 6 months, and have not already done so, we recommend you review the “Applying for Civilian Retirement” knowledge article in myFSS. Reviewing this article will assist you with ensuring you are completing all appropriate steps prior to submitting your retirement application.  

BEST utilizes myFSS for all communication. As such, we recommend you update your myFSS profile to include your personal email address and review your email, including junk/spam, for any benefits or retirement related correspondence.

Edwards AFB Visitor Control Center would like to remind all personnel the changes in Installation Access requirements. The safety and security of the base remains our top priority and adherence to these requirements listed below ensures safe and efficient access to Edwards AFB. Military personnel, civilian employees, contractor’s dependents, and base residents are not impacted by this change. These groups may continue to use their Common Access Card or Uniformed Services identification Card for base access. 

Starting May 7, members without a Common Access Card or Uniform Services Identification Card need a Real ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card to gain base access. Real ID-compliant licenses and identification cards are easily recognizable by a star in the upper corner of the card.

The Real ID Act was passed by congress in 2005 to enhance national security. The goal was to make it difficult to produce counterfeit IDs and it creates a verification standard across all states.  

IDs that contain the markings: “Not Valid for Federal Purposes,” “Not for Use as Federal Identification,” “Federal Limits May Apply,” or any other similar phrase are no longer an acceptable credential and must be utilized in conjunction with a federally accepted credential.

Retired Civilians who do not possess a real ID can bring a copy of their SF50 along with their nonfederal issued ID, original birth certificate with raised seal and social security card.  They will be issued a DBIDs card for a period of 1 year (365 days).

Visitors who do not possess a driver’s license or identification card compliant with the REAL ID Act need to present two valid forms of identification to gain access to base. Accepted forms are listed below:

• United States Passport or United States Passport Card.
• US Birth Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship (Form-550).
• Enhanced driver’s license issued by a State, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia.
• Any other U.S. Federal, State, territory, possession, or District of Columbia Government-issued credential bearing a photograph, including credentials from other paragraphs in this section that are deemed acceptable by the DoD Component head and consistent with applicable laws. (ex. Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST, TWIC, Tribal Card, VHIC, PIVs).
• Identification Card Issued by Federal, State, or Local Government Agencies Provided It Contains a Photograph and Biographic Information such as Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Height, Eye Color, And Address.
• Any other government-issued credential bearing a photograph and deemed acceptable by the DoD Component.
• Non-CAC LRC issued by the local installation or region.
• Permanent Resident Card/Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551).
• Foreign passport with a temporary (I-551) stamp or temporary (I-551) printed notation on a machine-readable immigrant visa.
• Foreign passport bearing an unexpired immigrant or non-immigrant visa or entry stamp.
• Foreign Government Issued Passport with Current Arrival-Departure Records (INS Form 94) Bearing Names as the same name as the passport and containing an endorsement of an Alien’s nonimmigrant status, it that Status authorizes the Alien to work for the employer.

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

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.
