Pro’s Corner
Want to lower your score? Of course everyone wants to play better and lower their handicap. One of the fastest ways to lower your score is to practice your short game. Putting, chipping and pitching account for 60–70% of your score. It makes sense to work on the area that makes up the largest percentage of your round. As a huge bonus, the practice putting green and practice chipping and pitching areas are FREE to use. No excuses, get out there and practice. With just a bit of practice you will see your scores go down and your enjoyment level go up. Robert E. Jacobus Gosser Golf Course Manager

Online Learning Prep (DLRSA) Get Ready for Online Learning
In today's world, we do everything on the computer, so going to college in the comfort of your own space sounds great, right? But are you ready for online classes? Classroom-based and online learning are extremely different. Both have pros and cons and understanding your level of readiness for each type of learning will help you to ensure successful course completion. The Distance Learning Readiness Self-Assessment (DLRSA) helps prospective military students decide if they're ready for online learning. The short assessment will help you gain insight to prepare for a positive distance learning experience. The DLRSA was developed to help you recognize your skills, spot possible weaknesses and prepare for the challenges of online education.
Student Benefits: the DLRSA helps you: » » » »
Assess your distance learning issues and goals Predict pitfalls before they happen Spot weaknesses that may affect course completion Make smart decisions to ensure education success
Characteristics for a successful online education experience
• Adequate computer skills and access to computers and internet • Good study habits • Prior educational experiences • Goal setting • Compatible life circumstances • Self-motivation • Good organization skills
26 | June 2020

What is Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) Employment?
NAF employment is considered federal employment. It is different from federal civil service employment because the funding used to pay the salaries of NAF employees comes from a different source. Civil service positions are paid for by money appropriated by Congress. NAF funding is self-generated by Air Force clubs, bowling centers, golf courses and other activities that use NAF employees. We have two types of NAF positions, flexible and regular. Flexible employees have work schedules that depend on the needs of the activity. These employees may work a minimum of zero hours to a maximum of 40 hours per week and do not receive benefits. Regular employees work between 20–40 hours a week depending on position requirements and may be entitled to receive benefits.
Benefits
Employees with regular category positions are eligible for the following benefits: • Health and Life Insurance • Awards • Retirement & 401K Plan • Leave (i.e., annual, sick and military leave) • Overtime, Holiday Pay & Sunday Premium Pay • Shift Differential • Workers' & Unemployment Compensation

Manca Pavlu
My hobbies include spray painting, reading and drinking coffee. My hometown is Jesenice, Slovenia. My favorite part about working in NAF Human Resources is sending out the tentative job offers. I love making an applicant's day by letting them know they are being offered the position they applied for. My favorite part about living in Misawa, Japan is the Japanese culture and definitely curry.

FSSSpotlight What is your favorite part about working in fitness?
What do you wish the Misawa community knew about your programs? I wish the Misawa community knew how valuable they are to our mission's success.
My favorite part about working in fitness is being able to see the finished product of an event and its success after all the hard work I have put in behind the scenes.
What is your best fitness center memory? My best fitness center memory was the Air Force versus Navy basketball game. It was so exciting to watch the battle of the branches.
