Airmen at Andersen AFB, Guam, held a special memorial last week to honor A1C Portica Beckton, who died on Sept. 9 while deployed to Kosovo when the vehicle in which she was riding rolled over. Beckton was a client support administrator with the 36th Contracting Squadron at Andersen who had deployed to Kosovo on an air and space expeditionary rotation. The other three service members in the vehicle survived with minor injuries.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
