Link to a copy of our RHPBA Newsletter 2018 Fall/Winter Edition. 

My special thanks to Jo Hickman for putting this all together. This edition was a little more "hectic" then most because of Hurricane Michael timing. 

Special thanks also to our very own RHPBA Board Member CMSgt Dave Corbett 823rd RHS for providing us with some great information about the recovery at Tyndall AFB.

A reminder to all about our upcoming Convention next year.  October 8 - 12, 2019.  Silverton Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, NV.  Hope to see you there.  Still working on the program, if you have any suggestion please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

10 months have passed since the last update and the association board of directors have been very busy. First, I want to thank some of the most active board members. Don Bowker Sr. our association Secretary, web master and store keeper/Jim West our association Treasurer/Randy Eckert the past President and 2019 Convention Chairman/Dick Aldinger the newsletter editor and 2019 Convention Publicity Chairman.

With the change of the association name came a lot of other changes in the association.  A new brand and web site have shown a resurgence in our membership.  We have tied both RED HORSE and Prime BEEF into our new brand and introduced some new hat colors. Our new web site is now a total secure website and our web master has brought forward everything from the old site and added to it. Just look at our store.

Our scholarship selection committee has just awarded the 2018 Brigadier General William Meredith Honor Scholarship to two very impressive young people. Because of security concerns we will not make public the names, but both were grandchildren of association members. Each received a $500.00 scholarship to be used as needed. Remember the scholarship program is open to all members families. The package can be found on our web site.

In April we held our spring board meeting in Las Vegas the site of our 2019 convention/reunion. We are in talks with an offsite hotel/casino but have not finalized anything yet. We have sent out a questionnaire to all association members requesting your inputs. At this convention/reunion we will be featuring the three engineering units stationed at Nellis the 99th Civil Engineering Squadron, 820th and 555th RED HORSE Squadrons.

Subject: 2019 Convention/Reunion 8 to 11 October 2019

The board is trying to get a feel on how many members are planning on attending the Convention/Reunion scheduled for 8 to 11 October in Las Vegas NV. At the present time we are in talks with a hotel/casino off strip and have not finalized details at this time. At this convention/reunion we will be featuring the three units based at Nellis AFB the 820^th and 555^th RED HORSE Squadrons and the 99^th Civil Engineering Squadron. For our planning purposes we would like feedback on the following subjects. The more members attending the lower the cost will be per member.

: Are you 75 to 90% positive you will attend?

: What type of alternative events would you like to see scheduled for those who do not want to attend the business meeting or go to the Special Capability Training site at Nellis?

: We would like to have suggestions on spouse’s activities?

: On Friday the 11^th we are planning a golf outing at the Nellis AFB Course.  How many would play?  This is a fund raiser for our association scholarship program. We will also like suggestions for two hours of activities for non-golfers.

: Would like to have members respond back by 15 September 2018. Send email replies to the following email address, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
