Free mental health assessment
Military Pathways is offering a free, anonymous, mental health self-assessment online for veterans, active duty and retired service personnel and their families at www.steptohealing.org. Check on symptoms of depression, post traumatic stress disorder or alcohol abuse. Although the screening cannot provide a diagnosis, it can help determine the need to see a health professional and provides resources on where to get help.

Testing has returned

Airmen are once again able to take the American College Testing and Scholastic Aptitude Test, the College Level Examination Program tests or the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support Subject Standardized Test.

Motorcycle recall
Due to safety precautions, Suzuki Motor of America, Inc., is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and model year 2005-2013 GSX-R1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake, resulting in the potential of increased crashes. Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin Nov. 4. Suzuki's campaign numbers for this recall are: 2A (31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36). For more information, visit http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects.
