Reveille, retreat discontinued until spring Published Sept. 24, 2008 EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- To help prevent accidents due to trying to stop vehicles on icy roads and to help avoid personnel standing at attention during extreme cold temperatures there will be no reveille and retreat until springtime. However, in order to comply with testing standards, Taps will continue to be played at 10 p.m. each weekday (excluding down days and holidays) from three locations; the corner of Cargain and Loop Access roads, the Air Traffic Control Tower and the 354th Communications Squadron. Due to system specifications, all tests will stop when the temperature falls below -30F.
