Welcome to Mountain Home A L E T T E R F R O M T H E W I N G C O M M A N D E R

Welcome to Gunfighter Country and congratulations on becoming part of a proud heritage.

Mountain Home AFB and the 366th Fighter Wing have a rich history, stretching back more than 70 years to the United States’ entry into World War II. Our “Gunfighter” nickname was earned in 1967, while the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing was stationed at Da Nang Air Base, Vietnam. Pilots were missing opportunities to shoot down enemy MiGs because the missiles were ineffective at short ranges and the F-4C lacked a gun. However, innovative Wing aircrew and maintainers worked together, mounted external 20-millimeter Gatling gun pods on the wings of the F-4Cs and developed new tactics, enabling pilots to score 4 MiG kills within the first month of operation. Soon other units followed suit. The gun pod innovation and the MiG kills that followed earned the Wing a Presidential Unit Citation for shooting down 11 enemy aircraft in a three-month period, and the moniker of “Gunfighters” was born.

Today, we continue the innovation and teamwork demonstrated by our predecessors while flying both the F-15E Strike Eagle and the Republic of Singapore Air Force F-15SG aircraft, preparing to fight our Nations’ wars today and in the future. Whether you are a maintainer, a medic, a pilot or WSO, a logistician or any other integral part of our Air Force, you are joining an incredible team that works tirelessly to protect our country and it’s citizens while maintaining the tradition of excellence the Gunfighters are known for.

While we work hard to defend our Nation, we also enjoy our time off. Idaho is an amazing place in which to live and work. It is a very a diverse state, rich not only in outdoor activities, but also in cultural history. From a quiet fishing hole to a rugged mountain hike, the Mountain Home area provides a vast array of adventurous pastimes and nearby Boise is alive with activity; museums, art galleries, concerts, plays and symphonies are all within an hour drive.

PRIORITY PLACEMENT PROGRAM (PPP)

MILITARY SPOUSE PREFERENCE PROGRAM (PROGRAM “S”)

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed a law granting employment preference to military spouses, the department

opened the Priority Placement Program (PPP) to spouses relocating with their sponsors to new duty stations. By 2008, more than 52,000 spouses had obtained DOD jobs through the Priority Placement Program (PPP), which has clearly become a significant quality of life benefit for military families.

The Department of Defense Military Spouse Preference Program (Program S) - a subprogram of the Priority Placement Program (PPP) - provides statutory employment preference to military spouses. By giving military spouses priority in the employment selection process, Program S works to reduce the impact of frequent relocations on spouse’s careers. The program applies to spouses of active duty military members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including the

U.S. Coast Guard and full-time National Guard who desire priority consideration for competitive service positions. Spouses who meet the eligibility requirements are eligible to participate in the Military Spouse Preference Program. Spouses may register 30 days prior to the Sponsor’s PCS reporting date.

REGISTRATION ASSISTANCELocal Civilian Personnel offices serve as the regis-tration points for Program S. Spouses in the United States may apply for the Military Spouse Preference Program 30 days prior to the Sponsor’s reporting date to the new duty station. However, spouses traveling to overseas areas cannot receive preference until they actually arrive.

Local Area HistoryMountain Home Mountain Home is the largest city and county seat of Elmore County, the population was 14,206 at the 2010 census. Mountain Home was originally a post office at Rattlesnake Station, a stagecoach stop on the Overland Stage Line, about seven miles east of the city, on present-day US-20 towards Fairfield. With the addition of the Oregon Short Line railroad in 1883, the post office was moved downhill and west to the city’s present site. Mountain Home is a vibrant rural community located about 40 miles southeast of Boise. Mountain Home is an excellent place to live and raise a family with a genuine sense of community. Residents benefit from a cost of living roughly fifteen percent less than the national average, quality health facilities including St. Luke’s Elmore, and excellent schools, with several higher learning opportunities close by. The clean air, low crime rate and abundance of recreational opportunities provide a slower small town experience and is only a 45 minute drive to all the cityamenities of the city.

Idaho Idaho’s nickname is the “Gem State”, because nearly every known type of gemstone has been found there. Idaho is sometimes called the “Potato State” owing to its popular and widely distributed crop. Adjacent to Washington and Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho is the 14th largest state. It’s been said if you flatten all the mountains in Idaho, the state would be the size of Texas. Idaho covers two time zones, runs from Canada to Nevada, and encompasses the western side of the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains. Rivers, mountains and farmland dominate the state’s landscape. You can see wide open space for miles and is the 7th least densely populated of the 50 United States. The current population of Idaho has been estimated at 1,634,464 making it the 39th most populous state. To find out more about this diverse and scenic state visit www.visitidaho.org, www.idaho.gov.
