Federally insured by NCUA. 1GO REWARDS credit cards earn 3 points for every $1 of net purchases made at restaurants, 2 points for every $1 of net purchases made for gas, and 1 point for every $1 of other net purchases. A GO REWARDS restaurant or gas purchase may only earn 1 point per dollar spent, depending on the merchant code used to process the transaction. Restaurants located within another establishment (e.g., hotel, casino, commissary, grocery store, event venue) may be ineligible, in which case you will receive 1 point per dollar spent at these locations. In addition, superstores, supermarkets and warehouse clubs that sell gasoline are not considered gas stations, so you will earn 1 point per dollar spent at these locations. Rewards only earned on eligible net purchases. “Net purchases” means the sum of your eligible purchase transactions minus returns and refunds. Eligible purchase transactions do not include, and rewards are not earned for, the following transactions: cash advances, convenience checks, balance transfers, or fees of any kind, including fi nance charges, late fees, returned check fees, and ATM transaction fees. In addition, Navy Federal cash equivalent transactions, such as the purchase, loading or re-loading of Navy Federal gift and prepaid cards (e.g., Navy Federal gift cards, Visa® Buxx Cards, GO Prepaid Cards), are also not eligible purchase transactions and do not earn rewards. For more information, view the GO REWARDS Program Description Guide. 2Currently, rates range from 9.74% APR to 18% APR, are based on creditworthiness, and will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. ATM cash advance fees: None if performed at a Navy Federal branch or ATM. Otherwise, $0.50 per domestic transaction or $1.00 per overseas transaction. © 2016 Navy Federal NFCU 13542 (5-16)

Fort Knox, home of Cadet Command and where “Strength Starts Here,” is the largest single source of new officers for the Army, commissioning the majority of the Army's new officers through the senior Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program.

Over the course of the summer, 11,000 Cadets will transition through Fort Knox between June and mid-August. The last regiment is scheduledto graduate on August 16th, 2016. Cadets will be divided into 17 regiments, and will navigate either a four-week Cadet Initial Entry Training (CIET)or Cadet Leader Course (CLC) during that time. CIET is a 30 day, outcome driven event to teach basic Military skills – Individual through squadlevel. Cadets will focus on Warrior Ethos, Army Values and Junior Leader tasks. CLC is a 31-day, outcome driven, complex problem solving event– Platoon through company level, Cadets in CLC will focus on scenario situations, CTC like and replicating OE.

A small portion of Cadets will take part in Cultural Understanding & Language Proficiency Training (CULP). CULP is intended to improve culturalawareness through complete immersion into another culture. Cadets will transition through Fort Knox before being deployed to other countriessuch as Bulgaria, Honduras or Thailand. This complex cultural experience is intended to support leadership growth in complex environments, expose the Cadet to cultural situations that may affect future Military operations and teach strategic relationships through security cooperation.

Beginning June 29th each regiment will have a Family Day. Cadet’s Family will be invited to spend the day prior to graduation here at Fort Knox, visiting their son or daughter. During Cadet training weeks and Family Day, there will be surges of visitors coming through our gates. We must remain vigil in reinforcing safety and respect during this significant increase of vehicles and pedestrians. We ask that you pay close attention to marked routes and the design and location of facilities. For example, clear signposts and simple directional signs will be posted across the installation and barriers will be used to control traffic and crowd flow, which are intended to help spread visitors more evenly.

The United States Army Chaplain Corps celebrates its241st Anniversary on July 29, 2016. Chaplains haveserved alongside Soldiers during the first battles ofthe American Revolution and throughout the history of our great republic. The Army, from itsbeginning, has turned to chaplains in order toNurture the Living, Care for the Woundedand Honor the Fallen.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits enactment of any law“respecting an establishment of religion” or“prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Congress recognizes the necessity of the Chaplain Corps in striking a balance between theEstablishment and Free Exercise Clauses.

The Chaplain Corps itself is a product of the nation’s commitment to religious freedom and its recognition that religion plays an integral role in the lives of many of its Soldiers. Chaplains have contributed to Soldiers’ religiousfreedom, moral development, and spiritual well-beingthroughout the history of the Army.

The history of the Army Chaplain Corps is the basis ofa “sacred trust” established with Soldiers and their Family Members that contemporary Ministry Teamswork to preserve. Chaplains provide confidentialpastoral/spiritual counseling as well as personaland/or professional guidance/assistance to any

Soldier or Family Member in need. The Chaplain Corps also performs or providesreligious support for all Soldiers, FamilyMembers and authorized Department ofDefense (DOD) Civilians from all religious traditions. Chaplains cooperate with eachother, without compromising their religious tradition or ecclesiastical endorsement requirements, to ensure the

most comprehensive religious support opportunities possible within the unique

Military environment.

On 28 December 1909, the War Department, Washington,DC, issued General Order No. 253, establishing the positionof an enlisted Soldier for the purpose of assisting the chaplain in the performance of their official duties. Historically, Chaplain Assistants have distinguished themselves in their professional and unrelenting dedication in performing the religious support mission.

The Fort Knox Ministry Team will celebrate the 241st Chaplain Corps Anniversary with a potluck meal andFamily activities. The motto of theChaplain Corps is Pro Deo Et Patriawhich means For God and Country.

We are proud to serve the FortKnox Community and it isour hope to “bring God to

Soldiers, and Soldiersto God.

Banks, credit card companies, and other businesses use credit scores to estimate howlikely you are to pay back money you borrow. A credit scoring system awards points for eachfactor that helps predict who is most likely torepay a debt. The total number of points is

what’s known as a credit score. It helps predicthow creditworthy you are, or how likely it is thatyou will repay a loan and make timely payments.A higher score makes it easier to qualify for a

loan and lower interest rates. Most scores rangefrom 300 to 850.

Understand Your Credit Score

Submitted by: ACS Financial ReadinessSource: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

(consumerfinance.gov)

Your Credit report matters as much as your score

Mistakes in your credit reports could hurt your creditscore, so check them regularly. You can obtain a freecredit report from each of the three major credit reporting companies every 12 months through

www.annualcreditreport.com. Army Community Service(ACS) Financial Readiness can provide a free credit reportreview, and has the ability to obtain a free MyFico creditreport. Financial counselors are available to assist youwith your goal to improve your credit score, review yourcredit report, provide guidance on inaccuracies, andmake a financial plan to repay debts. For an individual

appointment, please call (502) 624-5989.

Your credit score is generally based on informationin your credit reports. This information is reported byyour creditors to credit reporting companies. The threebiggest are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Severalvariables affect your credit score: amounts owed, lengthof credit history, taking on more credit, types of creditused, payment history and amounts owed, that you

will repay a loan and make timely payments. A higher score makes it easier to qualify for a loan and lower interest rates. Most scores

range from 300 to 850.

How is a credit score figured?

Pay your bills on time, every time. How you have managed your bills in the past is the best indicator of how you will pay them in the future. Set up automaticpayments or electronic reminders to get into a pattern.

Don’t get too close to the credit limit. A large amount ofyour score reflects the amount you owe in proportion toyour credit line, or how close you are to being “maxedout”. Experts advise keeping your use of credit at no

more than 30% of your total credit line.

A long credit history will help your score. Refrain fromclosing accounts that are paid off; it does more harm toyour credit than good. Your score will improve the longer

you have credit, open different types of credit (car loan, mortgage, credit card, etc.), and pay back what you owe on time.

Only apply for credit you need. Credit score companieslook at your recent credit activity as an indicator of yourneed for credit. If you apply for a lot of credit over a short

period of time, it may appear that your economic circumstances are changing for the worse.

“Stripes”...35 Years Later35 years ago over a 42 day period, Fort Knox was

one of the primary locations for the filming of the movie “Stripes”.

The film starred Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy and Warren Oates. Many of the extras in the movie were

Soldiers from Fort Knox.

Filming began in Kentucky in November 1980, then moved to California in December.

Principal photography ended on Stage 20 at Burbank Studios on January 29, 1981.

The production was allowed to shoot the Army base scenes at Fort Knox, the city scenes in Louisville, and the

Czechoslovakia scenes at the closed Chapeze Distillery (owned by Jim Beam) in Clermont, KY, with a budget of $9-10 million and a 42-day shooting schedule.
