Retiree Activities Office

Hill Air Force Base’s Retiree Activities Program is an official Air Force program, which provides retirees from the four branches of the DOD Military, US Coast Guard, Public Health Services, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), from our local four state region, information pertinent to their retirement.  The HAFB’s Retirees Activities Office is in Building 430, Room 134, which is just to the right of the main entrance to Bldg. 430, where you come to get you ID cards and to do DEERS updates.  Under the guidance of the 75th Air Base Wing commander, the RAO is run by volunteers to provide a conduit through which members of the aforementioned local retirees can be kept informed on the status of changes to their benefits, maintain contact with other retirees, and provide suggestions for improvements to the same.
