If you child is interested in playing school athletic programs they will also needs a Sports physical exams, in fact it is required for high school sports competition on our base.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management officials announced the results of the interagency forensics investigation on July 9, 2015, into a recent cyber incident involving federal background investigation data and the steps it is taking to protect those affected. In late May, as a result of ongoing efforts to secure its systems, OPM discovered an incident affecting background investigation records of current, former and prospective federal employees and contractors, officials said. The forensics investigation determined that the types of information in these records include identification details such as Social Security numbers; residency and educational history; employment history; information about immediate family and other personal and business acquaintances; health, criminal and financial history; and other details. Some records also include findings from interviews conducted by background investigators and fingerprints. Usernames and passwords that background investigation applicants used to fill out their background investigation forms also were stolen.
