US Space Force launches into year two; focuses on integration, partnerships

by Jennifer Green-Lanchoney 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs U.S. Space Force Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, Chief of Space Operations, met with Guardians and NATO members during a visit to Europe this week and emphasized the central role the nation’s newest service plays in global operations.

The visit underlines Raymond’s commitment to establishing deep, enduring relationships with international partners and allies.

“I am proud of how much we have elevated the partnerships in our first year as an independent service,” said Raymond. “These partnerships help us deter conflict and develop capabilities that are interoperable.”

In late 2019, U.S. Space Force was born and NATO declared space an operational domain. This renewed focus on space complements the already robust set of alliances and partnerships the United States shares with nations around the world.

“In my last visit to Europe I briefed the NATO military committee about space,” said Raymond.

“Since then, they’ve named space an operational domain and created the NATO Space Centre, which I am excited to visit today.”

The Space Centre at NATO’s Allied Air Command headquarters, located at Ramstein, will support NATO operations, missions and

activities in order to increase NATO Space Domain Awareness through the coordination of data, products and services with allies.

“The focus of my visit to the centre is to ensure that we’ve got the right connections so we can share data back and forth and integrate our operations more seam-

lessly,” said Raymond. “It is a critical part of this integration theme to make sure we are integrated with our NATO partners.”

The evolution of operating in the space domain with allied and partner nations includes operating, training, exercising, wargaming, and developing capabilities togeth-

“Our focus for year two is all about integrating the force,” said Raymond. “Integrating across the department, with our joint warfighters, and with the intelligence community, our

allies and commercial industry.”

With that in mind, Raymond visited the Distributed Common Ground System at Ramstein, which highlighted Guardians working alongside their U.S. Air Force and allied partner counterparts See SPACE FORCE, Page 3

COMMENTARY: Flip the script

by Lt. Col. Kenneth Herringdine 700th Contracting Squadron commander When the clock tolled midnight and the calendar flipped to a new year last month, I know I was not alone in my eagerness to say, “Good riddance!” to 2020 — a most challenging and dismal year in many ways. We are all too familiar with the litany of hurdles and life changes COVID-19 brought to bear: everchanging safety measures, second careers as parent-teachers, job insecurity, constant maskwearing, an ever-climbing number of lives taken by the virus, limited-to-no travel, restricted social contact, and the resulting feelings of isolation and loneliness. Our lives and the world in which we live have drastically changed.

Even as COVID-19 was gnawing away at the normalcy of all of our lives, a spotlight was shown on a persistent and unfortunate “normal” aspect of life for many Americans — the systemic racism and social injustices that people of color face each day. For many white Americans, the killing of George Floyd by several police officers is what opened their eyes.

However, Black Americans and other minorities have always been aware. They have lived and experienced injustices their entire lives, and know there are two Americas. They know what Amanda Gorman, our National Youth Poet Laureate, knows, that “what just is / isn’t always justice.”

The United States held a historic (and divisive) presidential election this year. Then, on Jan. 6, in protest of the election results, citizens of our nation mounted a deadly assault on our Capitol building. The past 365 days have been unprecedented and difficult for all; they are days that ushered me down a road of self-doubt, and left my mind smattered with uncertainty

and listen deeply. What are your Airmen trying to tell you?

“The way we frame our thoughts dictates how we live, how we treat others, how we see the world, act and react.”

-Lt. Col. Kenneth Herringdine, 700th CONS/CC

and questions. I asked myself: Am I a good husband? Am I a good sibling? Am I good at my job? Am I racist?

Then, I questioned the state of our Airmen. They all have struggles that are exacerbated by the fact they are away from home with few opportunities to return, new to the Air Force with a weak sense of belonging, or due to the color of their skin, their gender, or sexual orientation, may feel excluded.

Our Airmen have a lot on their plates, their minds, and weighing on their hearts. What am I doing to support our Airmen?

What are we, as an organization doing to support them?

With the hopefulness that comes with the blank slate of a new year, I attempted to reframe my doubts and concerns, and turn them into guideposts on a road to positive change. One of my favorite fitness instructors, Robin

Arzon, has a catchphrase that comes to mind: Flip the script.

What may appear to some as merely semantics, the way we frame our thoughts dictates how we live, how we treat others, how we see the world, act and react.

I examined the phrasing of my questions and altered them: “Am I a good husband?” became “How can I be a better husband?” “Am I racist” is now “How can I increase my awareness of how I view race, privilege, discrimination, etc.?” and, “How can I put my increased awareness to work to become a catalyst for change?”

In regard to our Airmen, I reformulated “What am I doing to support our Airmen?” to “How can I better serve and support our Airmen?” That led to, “How can I encourage Airmen to communicate more openly with me and how can I better listen?”

Here are some ideas to start your reframing.

How can I better communicate with my leaders? / How can I better listen to my Airmen?

Whether they are designated by position or not, we are surrounded by leaders. Leaders span the ranks and every grade.

Talk to them. Share your ideas; let them know your frustrations.

Propose a course of action so we can accelerate change.

Whether the issue is isolated to your work center, spans the base, or the Air Force, we know that change, however uncomfortable, is necessary.

Leaders, we must listen and act. I know I have not listened consistently nor thoroughly enough. We must open our ears, identify our biases (white males fill roughly 70% of the 86th Airlift Wing’s leadership positions), take off our blinders,

What can I bring to the team?

The collective strength of our teams will get us through these tough times and eventually bring us back together. Bring your energy, willingness to be a good follower, and an open mind.

Lean on your team and garner strength from them. As mutual trust develops, you will likely find a greater sense of purpose.

You may not always realize it, but you are a valuable member of your team.

Leaders and team members, recognize that our wingmen could be struggling, and their teams play a larger role in their lives than usual. Give them the teams they deserve. Encourage your wingmen, teach them, mentor them, and empower them.

Remember, “The strength of the team is each individual member.

The strength of each member is the team.” (Phil Jackson) How can I accelerate change?

In my experience, the Air Force is better than many organizations when it comes to inclusion, but I am a white male (spoiler alert) and collectively we are the problem. As there are two Americas, there are two Air Forces. Everyone has to be part of the solution, but our leaders, especially the ones with white skin, have to step up. We must be deliberate in breaking down the barriers for Airmen of all backgrounds. Look for those who do not look like you and get to know them, learn from them, and mentor them. We all need friends, teammates and mentors in our corner. If we are going to improve, we must own our unconscious biases and deliberately take actions to make changes.

In 2021, I am striving to listen more, grow, learn to be a catalyst for change, and hopefully become a better human and leader.

“I am very impressed with how Guardians are integrated into the organization, synchronizing the space domain from an intelligence perspective,” said Raymond. “This visit has been so valuable to see how we can fully integrate into theatre operations around the world and how we are building on those partnerships.”

Raymond is also focusing the service’s efforts to improve command and control infrastructure and how the service integrates across multiple domains.

“The key to our success moving forward is the ability to integrate and link sensors and shooters across multiple domains,” said Raymond. “Our big piece of Joint All-Domain Command and Control is that we provided the

data infrastructure underpinning the Advanced Battle Management System, which is so important to our ability to compete, deter and win going forward in the future.”

To elevate space to a level equal to its importance to our national security, the United States formed U.S. Space Command, a combatant command, and U.S. Space Force, a service, within months of each other in 2019. This move has created great strides in the space domain, and both provide different functions for the Department of Defense.

“Like all services, the U.S. Space Force’s function is to organize, train and equip,” said Raymond.

“As a combatant command, U.S. Space Command’s function is to conduct operations with those forces in the space domain.”

During his visit to Europe,

SOCIAL MEDIA from Page 1 and civilian employees was recently changed and consolidated into Air Force Instruction 35-101, paragraph 1.15.2.

Below are some of the new changes and additional best practices.

• •

CAN: • Make it clear you are speaking for yourself and not on behalf of the Air Force • Avoid offensive/inappropriate behavior that could bring discredit upon the Air Force or you as a member of the Air Force, or that would otherwise be harmful to good order and discipline, respect for authority, unit cohesion, morale, mission accomplishment, etc.

• Repost publicly released information from official sources • Friend, follow and like a political candidate. Identify a political affiliation on a personal social media profile

•

•

• CAN’T: • Post any defamatory, libelous, vulgar, obscene, abusive, profane, threatening, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise offensive or illegal information or material that violates the Uniformed Code of Military Justice or Service Regulation (examples include contempt for public officials) • Post any information or other material protected by copyright without the permission of the copyright owner • Post any non-public

•

By upholding the social media standards we can ensure the integrity of the Air Force and ourselves.

Raymond also met with Gen. Tod D. Wolters, U.S. European Command and NATO’s Supreme Allied Command Europe commander, and Gen. Jeffrey L. Harrigian, U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa commander, to discuss how space can be globally integrated.

According to Raymond, these capabilities and partnerships are important because space today is no longer a peaceful domain.

He said the threat in space began in 2007 when China shot down one of their own satellites creating more than 3,000 pieces of debris endangering global satellite capability.

“There’s a full spectrum of threats that we are concerned about, and it is clear that space has become a warfighting domain,” said Raymond.

“Everything from reversible jamming of satellites to directed energy threats — lasers if you will — that can blind or damage satellites.”

There are satellites on orbit that are very concerning, said Raymond.

“For example, we know that Russia launched a satellite and put it in very close proximity to one of our satellites,” said Raymond.

“That satellite that they launched — I describe it as a Russian nesting doll — it opens up and sends out another satellite that has the capability to send out a projectile.

We know that it is a weapons system designed to kinetically kill U.S. satellites in low-earth orbit.”

“China has a satellite on orbit

Page 3 today that has a robotic arm, and that capability could be used in the future to grapple a satellite, so we are concerned about that,” said Raymond. “That’s why the establishment of the U.S. Space Force is so important, so that we can stay ahead of that threat, and that is exactly what we are doing.”

Threats in space impact more than the military; they can impact the entire world through disruption of GPS satellites, which would impact goods and services that rely on GPS capabilities such as banking, ATMs and cell phones.

“Space fuels our American way of life,” Raymond said. “There is nothing we do that isn’t enabled by space capabilities. The last couple days have highlighted just how integrated space is to everything that we do as a joint force, as well.”

Raymond’s visit to Ramstein also included time to meet newly transitioned members, complete with a new rank. As of Feb. 1, junior enlisted personnel who transition to or join the U.S. Space Force are now known as specialists.

“I had the great opportunity to meet my first-ever specialist, Spc4 Dylan Pittman, who transferred into the Space Force Monday,” said Raymond. “I was also able to meet with Spc4 Michael Gordiano, who also transferred Monday. Our Guardians are doing really important work here.”

In addition, this trip here

provided him an opportunity to speak to U.S. Space Force Guardians at a scheduled allcall.

“I’m really looking forward to being able give them an update on where we are with the Space Force and get their inputs,” said Raymond.

“One of the great things about building a new service is that we have an opportunity to build it fresh.”

According to Raymond, U.S. Space Force will increase in number dramatically by summer as we continue to transition Guardians into the service.

“We’ve selected about 6,400 Airmen who will transition over to be Guardians in the Space Force,” said Raymond. “Today we have approximately 2,400 Guardians, and over the course of the next few months we’ll continue to transfer the remaining Airmen. We have about 10,000 civilians assigned to Space Force, as well. By summer, Space Force will be at about 16,000 of both active duty and civilian personnel.”

A plus in numbers that Raymond says is welcomed.

“I think if you go talk to any Guardian around the globe, they just want to provide value and contribute to protecting and defending our nation and protecting and defending our allied partners around the globe,” said Raymond. “When you need space, which is all the time, it is always there — and that’s our job.”

For love of money: Staying financially fit in 2021 Story and graphic by Airman 1st Class Taylor Slater 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Looking to start off 2021 on the right foot?

Whether it’s making a budget, taking financial classes or finding the right credit card, these are all great ways to start off the new year.

An excellent approach to being financially savvy is to watch spending and make a budget. Tools needed for this project could be as simple as a pen and paper to start writing down monthly expenses and spending goals. Many phone apps also specialize in tracking spending.

The beginning is the most important step, but going cold turkey with budget plans could also be a recipe for giving up too early, according to Angie Fields, Airman and Family Readiness Center readiness consultant.

“You need to remember a spending plan is flexible and you need to be flexible,” Fields said.

“You can’t be so rigid in what you’re doing that you’re not willing to make changes.”

Be prepared for a budget to be malleable and change every month, Fields said. Starting with small goals, such as spending a little less on entertainment each month, is a great way to go forward.

“Pick and choose what you want to have fun with,” Fields said.

“I love going to coffee shops. I go every day, but I also say, ‘Okay, if I want to pay $4.50 for this cup of coffee twice a week, then I know there’s something else that I cannot do.”

Another way to start practicing good financial habits is to take one of several financial classes available at the A&FRC. As an instructor at the A&FRC, Fields offers many different classes, from “Developing a Spending Plan” to “Credit Reports” to “Raising Financially Fit Children.”

Classes are currently conducted through web conference calls due to COVID-19.

Missing something in your life?

Spending habits can boil down to personality, which is why Fields gives her students activities to find what kind of spender they are and develop good spending plans from there.

“Everybody has a (different) attitude about money and how they spend it,” Fields said. “When you’re doing a budget, you have to address whatever their attitude is. ‘Are you a carefree person with your money?’ ‘Are you that person who likes to plan?’ ‘Do you like to help everybody else?’ This is a big part of what we do.”

Fields has been teaching these courses for 15 years. Her expertise also comes from her own personal experience with financial difficulties. “(With) my first credit card, I bought a set of luggage that was not any more than $300,” Fields recalls. “It took me close to four years to pay that luggage off because I was a college student and I was only paying the minimum payments every month.

It took me four years to pay it off because the interest rate was 10% or 12%, which was big for 1987.

Everybody’s got to learn.”

With her cautionary tale in mind, Fields also advises consumers to be wary of credit cards from certain retailers.

“They’ll say, ‘Oh if you get a credit card with us, we’ll take 10% off!’” Fields said. “If whatever you bought from that store was $100 they took $10 off. If you don’t pay that $90 back next month, they’re going to hit you with an interest rate that’s going to be about 15% to 20%. The savings you had when you got that $10, you have now given back because you didn’t pay it off at the end of the month.”

Other advice Fields can share for military families with civilian spouses is to prepare for permanent change of station moves by treating one spouse’s income as a bonus to the others’ income.

“That way you’re not trying to live on (past) income while your spouse is trying to find a job,” Fields said. “You’ve already

planned ahead because you know how to live on one income.”

Finally, with tax season ahead, Fields advises everyone to check their income tax and make sure they’re claiming their dependents.

The Centers for Disease Control now requires all air passengers age two and up to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within three days of their flight.

What happens if I test positive on the rapid test?

Anyone who tests positive, must then take a molecular (PCR) COVID-19 test.

will have to call the clinic's COVID/Sick hotline to schedule an appointment to receive a PCR test. Contact information is on our COVID-19 webpage.

How long will it take for me to get results?

Rapid testing results are delivered before you leave the waiting area. You may have to wait up to 30 minutes for your results.

What about those who are traveling via the AMC rotator?

Currently those flying via the AMC rotator do not have to have a negative COVID-19 test to travel.

I’ve recovered from COVID19 recently so an Antigen test could give me a positive result even though I’m not contagious. What do I do?

According to the CDC, you will need a doctor’s note confirming that you have recovered. Please contact your primary care physician if this applies to you. It is also a good idea to check with your specific airline to verify what information they require and in what format they will accept it.

Is it only for those traveling to the States? What about those going to other overseas bases?

Rapid testing is for official travel to any international area that accepts antigen testing. If the destination country requires a molecular (PCR) test, such as Italy, Korea, and Turkey, the travelers

Does this count for civilians who are PCS-ing back to the states?

Yes, testing is available for all U.S. civilians and dependents who are traveling for official duty such as PCS-ing back to the States.

Is there an option to do a cheek swab test? We PCS in March and I would rather my 2- and 4-year-old not have the nasal swab.

Unfortunately, the rapid antigen tests are nasal, but it is anterior instead of posterior, which may be a little easier on children.

Does this apply to Landstuhl Regional Medical Clinic, or just 86th clinic here at Ramstein?

This is intended for Air Force personnel assigned to Air Force installations in the Kaiserslautern Military Community.

Jacob Schuhardt, 86th Airlift Wing safety superintendent, left, at the Enlisted Club on Ramstein Air Base, Jan. 28. The rapid antigen tests use anterior, as opposed to posterior, nasal swabbing.

Update on medical mask policy, support from volunteers

by Col. (Dr.) Ryan Mihata 86th Medical Group Commander This week the installation implemented the host nation’s medical mask policy. Now certain establishments both in the local community as well as on base require a higherlevel mask than just the fabric face covering.

Examples on base include the KMCC, Commissaries, Shoppette, Post Office, places of worship, and the Ramstein Law Center.

Surgical masks or higher level such as KN95 or FFP2 masks are needed when using these customer service establishments.

These requirements were put in place to decrease risk in public areas where maintaining physical distance is difficult. While case counts in the community and on base are lower than the height of this wave, they remain higher than the 50 cases per 100,000 people mark. You can keep up with the most recent info by visiting https://www.ramstein. af.mil/COVID-19/.

Monday also marked the start of COVID “shot #2” for those first responders and frontline personnel on Ramstein who received the first dose in January.

Check out Ramstein’s official Facebook page to view short videos of my personal experience with the second dose.

Mild side effects like arm pain, headaches and fatigue are all very normal and represent the immune system’s effectiveness when exposed to this second vaccine. Data published in December in the New England Journal of Medicine on the Moderna vaccine is pretty

striking: 94-95% effective in preventing symptomatic and severe COVID-19, and 100% effective in preventing death (no one in the study period died from COVID-19). I highly encourage everyone to get the vaccine, once it is available to your phase. You can see where Ramstein is in the phased distribution by visiting https:// www.ramstein.af.mil/COVID-19Vaccine-Information/.

Another new requirement that I mentioned last week is the testing requirement for travel back to the United States. Based on direction from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, commercial airlines are requiring a negative COVID-19 test prior to allowing you to board a flight back to the United States.

The 86th Medical Group is providing this testing for official travel only, from 7:30-10 a.m. at the Ramstein Enlisted Club.

Since we are still in the midst of a pandemic, non-official travel is highly discouraged. If

you need a test for non-official travel, there are a few locations in the local community that will perform this for a fee.

We are all in this together.

I want to specifically thank the Airman and Family Readiness Center and the Key Spouses for starting a volunteer sign up to support health care efforts. We recognize that lots of folks want to join the fight against COVID19. We started using volunteers for manpower and administrative tasks at the COVID shot line and will slowly expand from there to use volunteers across the 86th Medical Group. We initially started with only the next three weeks, as capacity is limited by the days we are running the line.

Stay tuned for more opportunities. We recognize the value of your time, and greatly appreciate the volunteers’ willingness to join us in the fight. Anyone (not just spouses) can volunteer; however, some situations will require specific training in advance. Currently,

USAFE-AFAFRICA preps for 7th annual Innovation Madness competition

February 5, 2021

‘Tis the season’ — tax season!

Courtesy of the Ramstein Legal Office

by Capt. Kaila Bryant USAFE-AFAFRICA Public Affairs The seventh annual Innovation Madness competition will begin this March at U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa. This event highlights and encourages operational innovations that used the Continuous Process Improvement across the command.

Participating USAFE-AFAFRICA wings compete against each other for the opportunity to win a portion of the allotted $250,000 based on cumulative scores from the three rounds.

“We are excited to announce the kick-off for the seventh annual USAFE-AFAFRICA Innovation Madness competition,” said USAFE-AFAFRICA commander, Gen. Jeff Harrigian. “Last year, our Airmen's creative spirit spurred 242 innovations across the command, totaling $14.1 million in monetary savings and 1.8 million in annual labor-hours. Our team has a history of taking innovations

that positively impact our mission readiness all the way to the Air Force level for implementation, and I’m looking forward to seeing that same creativity in 2021.”

The first round of judging focuses on mission improvement initiatives from submitted award packages, with the winner announced on March 18.

The second round will grade 59-second videos highlighting the wing’s innovative culture with time and cost savings. The videos will be available on both the wing’s and USAFE’s Facebook pages, with the winner announced March 25.

The third round will judge the wing’s CPI program using the total number of CPI events, total validated money and time savings and other CPI program criteria provided by Wing Process Managers throughout the year. The winner will be announced April 1.

A champion will be announced April 7 and be recognized with the Lieutenant General William H. Tunner Innovation Madness award.

“Innovation Madness gives the USAFE-AFAFRICA commander the opportunity to celebrate the tremendous work the wings have done over the past year and it gives wing commanders the opportunity to highlight the innovative culture at their wing,” explained Daniel Kjolhede, Innovation Madness 2021 project officer. “Every year, Innovation Madness shows how creative and ingenious our Airmen are at solving problems and finding better ways to do their job.”

USAFE-AFAFRICA’s Innovation and Transformation Office and the Office of Financial Management and Comptroller started this competition in 2015. The ultimate goal is to improve operational processes, maximize mission capabilities, and reduce costs while ensuring our force is always one step ahead of our adversaries.

Airlifter of the Week: Streamline for success

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Sheng Morris, 86th Force Support Squadron Airman Leadership School instructor, poses for a photo at Kapaun Air Station, Jan. 21. Morris has continually improved ALS class functions despite adjustments required for virtual instruction.

Story and photos by Airman 1st Class Andrew Alvarado 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs An Airman from the 86th Force Support Squadron was selected as Airlifter of the Week for outstanding performance above and beyond her duties, which includes her position as an instructor at the Airman Leadership School on Kapaun Air Station.

Tech. Sgt. Sheng Morris, 86th FSS ALS instructor, helped create a speed-mentoring event where she was able to connect nine senior leaders with 22 Airmen across three wings.

“She’s an extremely humble

individual,” said Master Sgt. Kendrick Burton, 86th FSS ALS commandant. “She works hard.

She dives deep into everything she does with vigor and tenacity.”

ALS instructors facilitate the growth and transition for Airmen to become supervisors in a formal training environment.

Morris also supported youth in the Kaiserslautern Military Community and beyond by leading nine evaluators for military marching drills from Junior ROTC attachments around the world.

The cadets were only allowed to record their marching drill in one take, which added to the spirit of the competition. Next, they submitted

their videos to judges for review.

Morris explained it was a close competition in which dedication to practice and discipline were evident for participants eager to compete.

“It’s definitely breathtaking in the sense that I was super impressed with how well they executed their movements,” Morris said.

Measures taken to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 called for an adjustment across the KMC. Morris was instrumental when the base went to HPCON Charlie by shifting Ramstein ALS classes from an inperson to a virtual experience.

“I think there is still a lack of connectedness when you’re virtual, but trying to simulate that in the virtual environment can be tough,” Morris said. “Some of the advice I received from another facilitator is ‘Just be who you are.’ I try to be as positive as possible and let my personality shine through in the classroom.”

When she isn’t diligently improving the virtual ALS experience, Morris enjoys hiking, fixing cars and spending time with her husband, Alex, who continuously supports her in her career decisions.

“He definitely asks me questions that make me think for myself. And that’s kind of what I value the most,” Morris said.

Morris’ leadership describes her as someone who genuinely wants to help people without looking for recognition or accolades.

Her dedication to the task at hand is a testament to her ability to innovate and lead.

“She brings all that she is — her whole person, to the job,” Burton said. “She doesn’t compromise her integrity. She doesn’t compromise who she is, but she’s serious about her craft.”

‘Continuity,’ ‘maintaining momentum’ define John Roth’s goals as acting Air Force secretary

Graphic by U.S. Air Force

by Charles Pope Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs After decades of distinguished service, including at the highest levels of the Air Force’s leadership, John P. Roth decided recently it was time to retire.

As a non-partisan civil servant for most of his career, Roth, 68, figured the new administration’s arrival Jan. 20 would be the proper time to step aside after 47 years in federal service.

It would be the perfect moment for a clean, natural break.

Then, reality arrived.

The transition team for Presidentelect Joe Biden asked Roth to step in as acting secretary of the Air Force.

Roth accepted even though the job as acting secretary is one of the more difficult — and underappreciated — in all of government. It is a position that, by definition, is both temporary yet open-ended. It requires strong leadership but also restraint.

Even so, Roth didn’t hesitate.

“If I can help, I’m happy to serve,” Roth said during a Jan. 26 interview when asked how he responded to the Biden team’s overture. “That’s what I’ve done for 40 plus years; so a matter of perhaps a few more months, I’m all in.”

No one knows how long Roth will be serving as acting secretary. The Biden Administration must find and vet a nominee to put forward as the next secretary of the Air Force and then the Senate must consider and approve that person.

Regardless of how long it takes, Roth is clear-eyed about his approach to the job and his priorities.

When asked for his mandate in the job, the words “continuity” and “maintaining momentum” pepper Roth’s description. His job, he says, is to keep the Total Force prepared and ready and to make sure the elements that have defined the Department’s

success remain in place.

“We as an enterprise need to continue our momentum,” Roth said.

“I think we have a terrific leadership team, both military and civilian.

When the Chief (Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr.) talks about accelerating change or losing, I think that’s an important concept.

And obviously we are little beyond the Space Force’s one year anniversary; we need to keep the momentum (Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. Raymond) has established to build the Space Force moving forward, as well,” he said.

“It should be transparent to Airmen and Guardians, and with any kind of luck, transparent to the nation, that we continue to do our mission,” Roth said. “We’re here to defend the country. We’re here to represent U.S. interests. We’re locked and loaded, and ready to go. Part of my job is to ensure that kind of stability and continuity.”

Roth is perhaps the ideal candidate for the job.

As assistant secretary of the Air Force for financial management prior to being selected acting secretary, Roth managed the Department’s sprawling budget and complex fiscal matters. That job gave him an intimate view into almost every segment of the Department’s operations.

Moreover, during his long tenure he served temporarily twice as undersecretary of the Air Force, which carried an even broader portfolio.

“A lot of the things that go to the secretary run past the under’s inbox,” he said. “I’m a trained budgeteer, and that’s my sweet spot, but I did get involved in manpower issues and things like promotion boards, Department-wide studies, and disciplinary matters. All of that, which I personally found fascinating, exposed me to other issues across the Department.”

There’s one other trait as well that Roth carries to the role. In a city where many are constantly reaching for the next, permanent post, he has a different perspective.

“I’m not auditioning for any job; I’m not looking for any other particular thing,” he said. “I’m here to serve Airmen and Guardians. We are a mission-oriented enterprise. We owe it to the American people to be ready to go and support American interests.”

Roth uses a sport analogy borrowed from another acting official, Deputy Secretary of Defense David L. Norquist, who served briefly as defense secretary until Lloyd Austin was confirmed and installed. Norquist told Roth the job is like running a relay race and requires the ability to “hand off the baton” cleanly to whoever comes next.

“My plan, in whatever time period required, is to hand the baton off to somebody else,” Roth said. “My goal is to ensure that the enterprise is able to continue to operate in its normal, outstanding fashion and that I support the Airmen and the Guardians in terms of getting them what they need to do their jobs.”

Asked for more specifics, Roth said, “Telling the Department of the Air Force’s story and representing Air and Space Force interests as we launch into completing the (fiscal year) 2022 budget.

“My point is, the machinery needs to keep moving. We can’t afford to sit idle. We need to keep the momentum on both the air side and the space side, and make sure we continue to focus ourselves on achieving the things the National Defense Strategy requires us to do,” he said.

Serving as an acting secretary is a capstone in a career that has deep and multi-layered connections to the military for his entire life. Roth was a self-described “Army brat” who was

born at what was previously known as Walter Reed Army Medical Center. His father had a long career in the Army and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

But his military roots are even more diverse. After earning his degree at the University of Virginia, Roth went to work for the Navy as a financial manager. He then moved to the

Department of Defense and, finally to the Air Force. His brother, meanwhile, served in the Marine Corps.

“In the course of all this I punched a ticket in learning about all of the services. Maybe if I’d stuck around long enough, I would have been able to join the Space Force,” he joked. “I have about as joint a perspective on the enterprise as you can get.”

Air Force announces Airmen leadership qualities

Airmen leadership qualities Executing the Mission Leading people

Managing Resources Improving the Unit Graphic by U.S. Air Force

by Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs The Air Force announced 10 Airman leadership qualities which are now being integrated into a new feedback tool, for officers in the grades of O-1 through O-6 and senior noncommissioned officers in the grades of E-7 through E-9, to facilitate discussion between rater and ratee.

The qualities, found in the Airman Comprehensive Assessment Addendum - AF Form 724-A, focus on character and competence and are categorized under four major performance areas which coincide with both the major graded areas of the Air Force Unit Effectiveness Inspection program and the language used to describe expected performance factors provided to promotion boards: executing the mission, leading people, managing resources and improving the unit.

“The adjustments toward these new leadership qualities are imperative to shift the way we measure, incentivize, and reward the Airmen we need for the future,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr,. “We must have evaluation systems that provide constructive feedback, evaluate against qualities we value, and highlight future potential.”

The Airman leadership qualities are expected to form the basis for the future officer and enlisted performance reporting systems.

The alignment between evaluating units and evaluating Airmen is intended to further emphasize and accelerate an understanding and adoption of the associated leadership qualities.

“The major performance areas and Airman leadership qualities were developed over the last two years by looking at industry and sister service best-practices, academic literature, and most impor-

tantly the attributes we know will be required of our Airmen. They were refined over a series of Total Force focus groups to develop and validate the qualities we value in our leaders,” said Col. Laura King, Air Force Talent Management Innovation Cell director. “We designed the addendum to be used in conjunction with the primary Airman Comprehensive Assessment form to serve as a guide for raters to help facilitate actionable discussions during feedback that incorporate the Airman leadership qualities.”

Each Airman leadership quality is assessed on a five-point scale of proficiency levels: does not meet expectations, developing, proficient, highly proficient and outstanding. They are currently grade independent, understanding raters will account for the relative expectation based on rank and Air Force specialty code.

Over the past two years, the Department of the Air Force has made several large-scale modifications to its talent management system. This initiative is part of a larger reform and the next step in the implementation of a more comprehensive evaluation system.

“To improve how we make talent management decisions, we must measure what we value.

These Airman leadership qualities make clear what we value in officer and enlisted performance.

Our Airmen must understand what they are being ‘graded’ against to provide them with a clear understanding of expectations and aid them in their future development,” said Lt. Gen. Brian Kelly, deputy chief of staff for manpower, per-

sonnel and services. “The objective is for raters to begin discussing and assessing ratees against the Airman leadership qualities to provide us feedback as they introduce the new measures they will see in future evaluation systems.”

Over the coming months, feedback will be gathered from major commands throughout the Air Force. The data collected will be used to refine the Airman leadership qualities and the addendum before the new evaluation systems are finalized. While initial use of the form will be optional, leaders are encouraged to use it to the maximum extent practical.

“We are working to build a system that defines the qualities we value and need in our Airmen,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass. “I’m very excited that we are doing that in synergy with our officer corps, it shows that we value Airman leadership qualities across the ranks, from E-1 to O-10.”

The major performance areas and Airman leadership qualities are: Executing the Mission • Job Proficiency: Demonstrates knowledge and professional skill in assigned duties, achieving positive results and impact in support of the mission.

• Initiative: Assesses and takes independent or directed action to complete a task or mission that influences the mission or organization.

• Adaptability: Adjusts to changing conditions, to include plans, information, processes, requirements and obstacles in accomplishing the mission.

Leading People • Inclusion and Teamwork: Collaborates effectively with others to achieve an inclusive climate in pursuit of a common goal or to complete a task or mission.

• Emotional Intelligence: Exercises self-awareness, manages their own emotions effectively; demonstrates an understanding of others’ emotions, and appropriately manages relationships.

• Communication: Articulates information in a clear and timely manner, both verbally and non-verbally, through active listening and messaging tailored to the appropriate audience.

Managing Resources • Stewardship: Demonstrates responsible management of assigned resources, which may include time, equipment, people, funds and/or facilities.

• Accountability: Takes responsibility for the actions and behaviors of self and/or team; demonstrates reliability and transparency.

Improving the Unit • Decision Making: Makes wellinformed, effective and timely decisions under one’s control that weigh constraints, risks, and benefits.

• Innovation: Thinks creatively about different ways to solve problems, implements improvements and demonstrates calculated risk-taking.

Army announces new grooming, appearance standards

by Devon Suits Army News Service New changes to grooming and appearance standards are slated to take effect next month, as part of the Army’s commitment to improve the well-being of all Soldiers.

Army senior leaders approved several upcoming grooming and appearance modifications, said Sgt. Maj. Brian Sanders, senior enlisted leader of Army G-1’s uniform policy branch.

The announcement will be followed by an all-Army activities message that will take effect late February and will supersede the standards outlined in the grooming and appearance chapter of Army Regulation 670-1 until the next scheduled revision.

“This is one of the many facets of putting our people first and recognizing who they are as human beings,” he said. “Their identity and diverse backgrounds are what makes the Army an ultimate fighting force.”

The changes originated from a panel of 17 Soldiers — 15 women and two men — who assessed a list of proposed grooming and appearance modifications connected to the professional appearance, health and wellness, diversity, and inclusion of Soldiers.

The panel included Soldiers from all components, representing a cross-section of ranks, units, ages, cultural backgrounds, career fields and races. The process also included two Army dermatologists, an Army psychologist, and an Army equal opportunity advisor as subject-matter experts, who provided medical or EO knowledge to back the panel's findings.

The push to change the Army's grooming standards proves that the force is evolving and making a concerted effort to make everyone feel included, said Master Sgt. Quintana Mitchell, the uniform policy NCO for G-1.

“I use the analogy, 'If you look good, you feel good — and if you feel good, you perform [well],” Sanders said. “If I am in the Army long enough, it would be nice to see how these changes have improved productivity ... and make Soldiers perform better.”

Minimum hair length One of the updates will authorize no minimum hair length for all personnel, to include making it an optional style for female Soldiers. Under the current policy, a Soldier's hair length can be no shorter than 1/4 inch from the scalp unless otherwise exempt due

to a medical condition or injury.

Panel findings determined that females attending Ranger, Special Forces, or Sapper training were often encouraged to cut their hair to abide by health and hygiene recommendations while training in an austere environment, Sanders said.

If the Soldier were to wash out or graduate from training, their hair was often below the 1/4 inch minimum length requirement and outside Army regulations.

Multiple hairstyles Soldiers will also be authorized to wear multiple hairstyles as long as it maintains a neat and professional appearance, and if the hairstyle doesn't impede the use of headgear or other equipment, Sanders said.

Under the current standard, Soldiers are allowed to braid, twist, lock, or cornrow their hair if they are uniform and no greater than 1/2 inch in width. Individuals must also have appropriate size and spacing between each braid, cornrow, twist, or lock, and are authorized one distinct type of hairstyle at one time. The updated standard removes the constraints of dimension requirements.

By eliminating some of the restrictions, Soldiers will now have more flexibility, all while keeping it within the confines of professionalism, Mitchell said. Further, having a choice to wear multiple hairstyles will allow female Soldiers more ways to secure their hair so that it can fit appropriately under their headgear.

Ponytails Female Soldiers with mediumlength hair will have the option to wear a ponytail if the individual's hair length or texture prevents them from securing it into a tight bun, Sanders said. A mediumlength hairstyle must extend more than 1 inch from the scalp and cannot exceed the lower edge of the collar in all uniforms.

Under the new policy, mediumlength ponytails are only authorized for wear on the back of the scalp and cannot exceed the head's width or interfere with the proper wear of a Soldier's headgear.

The updated standard will also allow females with long hair the option to wear a ponytail while wearing an Army Combat Uniform during physical training, or while wearing tactical headgear during tactical training or combat operations. The Army defines long hair as a length that extends beyond the collar. Army standards require this hairstyle to be neatly

and inconspicuously fastened above the collar's lower edge.

“We can't tell a Soldier to cut their hair so their helmet can fit,” Sanders said. “We can still allow a female Soldier with longer hair to put into a long ponytail and tuck it in their ACU top so they can still conduct their mission.”

Dermatologists involved in the review process provided critical input tied to the updated ponytail policy, Sanders said. The authorized wear of a medium-length ponytail could lower an individual’s risk of hair loss, reduce scarring, or decrease the likelihood of migraine headaches caused by repeatedly pulling hair into a tight bun.

The lack of hairstyle options as a result of a Soldier’s hair length or texture can often stress an individual as they try various techniques and devices to secure their hair to maintain a neat appearance, Mitchell said.

Hair highlights, root growth The Army plans to authorize the wear of highlights if it presents a natural appearance and is not a prohibited color, Sanders said.

Further, if a Soldier decides to color or highlight their hair, root growth of a different color should not exceed 1.5 inches of the original color.

“Some Soldiers develop natural highlights,” Sanders said. “We cannot assume that a Soldier's hair should be a specific color” based on their complexion.

Under the current regulation, Soldiers are only authorized to dye, tint, or bleach their hair. The color of their hair must also be uniform and not detract from their professional appearance. Unauthorized pigments include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright red, and fluorescent or neon colors.

“The emphasis is on natural hair colors,” Mitchell said. “It doesn't necessarily have to be a color that is typically seen on a certain ethnic group. It just has to be a natural hair color that presents a neat and professional image.”

Optional wear of earrings with ACU Female Soldiers will soon be authorized to wear earrings with their ACU. Earrings can either be screw-on, clip-on, or post-type earrings in gold, silver, or diamond and must be unadorned and spherical without exceeding 6 mm or 1/4 inch in diameter.

Pearl earrings are not authorized with the ACU, Sanders said.

Females are currently authorized

A female Soldier poses for an example photo with natural-colored highlights and wearing stud earrings in her Army Combat Uniform to illustrate an upcoming change to Army grooming and appearance standards. Female Soldiers will soon be authorized to wear earrings in their ACU if it meets the current size and dimensions standards. Individuals will not be allowed to wear earrings in a field environment or during a combat-related deployment, or in locations where access to regular hygiene is limited.

Individuals will not be allowed to wear earrings in a field environment or during a combat-related deployment, or in locations where access to regular hygiene is limited.

“Our identity is important,” Sanders said. “If we care about people first and the Soldier as a whole, we have to care about the many aspects to who they are as well. This is a small, but significant change that positively impacts a considerable size of our force.”

Additional colors of lipstick, nail polish Along with supporting a Soldier's identity, the Army approved the use of additional colors of lipstick and nail polish, including the wear of clear nail polish by male Soldiers. Females also have the option to wear an American manicure, a two-tone nail style that maintains a natural appearance.

“Some male Soldiers in certain occupation specialties rely on their hands, which are under constant bombardment while working with tools or harsh chemicals,” Sanders said. “A male Soldier would take this opportunity to keep their nails protected.”

According to the updated policy, extreme colors and nail shapes, such as a coffin, ballerina, and stiletto nails, are prohibited while in uniform or on duty in civilian clothes. Unauthorized pigments include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright red, and fluorescent or neon colors.

Offensive wording change, updated imagery Another update will remove and replace potentially offensive and weaponized words and phrases, such as “Mohawk, Fu Manchu, dreadlock, eccentric, and faddish,” Sanders said.

Army officials are currently replacing phrases of concern with alternative verbiage to provide increased clarity and guidance about a Soldier's professional appearance based on safety, good order, and military bearing — instead of relying on the phrase at the discretion of the commander.

“This is how we shift the culture and embrace forward thinking,” Sanders added. “It is time to dig deeper and use our lexicon and vocabulary to describe what is authorized and what does not conform to a professional military appearance, good order and discipline.”

The updated standard will also include a link to imagery and videos to provide Soldiers with specific examples of proper grooming and appearance standards, Sanders said. Current images are too vague, outdated, and leave too much room for interpretation without adequate guidance.

“Pictures speak 1,000 words,” he said. “We won't be able to capture every grooming and appearance standard, but we will be able to categorize them to equip Soldiers at all levels with the information needed to ensure regulatory standards are being realized in a fair and inclusive way that is easily understood across the force.”

by Russell Toof Regional Health Command Europe The U.S. Army Nurse Corps anniversary on Feb. 2 celebrates Army nurses who have served honorably in a variety of situations, from war to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, as well as in times of peace.

The nurse corps was formally recognized on Feb. 2, 1901.

For Capt. Ashley JeffersonWatts, a clinical nurse and officer in charge of the primary care clinic at U.S. Army Health Clinic Grafenwoehr, being a nurse is something she has wanted to do since she was in seventh grade.

“I wanted to be an Army nurse specifically, to help and heal our

warfighters and their families,” said Jefferson-Watts. “To know that you can make a difference in your comrades and their family’s lives brings me a sense of peace and happiness. People may not always remember what you said, but they definitely remember how you made them feel.”

She is approaching 10 years of service in the Army, having commissioned in as a second lieutenant in May 2011. Her first duty station was Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu.

“I was nervous to one, move so far away from family, but two, it was my first time working as a nurse,” said Jefferson-Watts.

“I would say that even though I

was nervous, the more experienced nurses took me under their wing, and prepared and guided me to become the nurse that I am today.”

Over time, the Army’s mission has grown broader, including more joint health care delivery systems, and yet there has been one constant — the devotion of Army nurses to providing excellent nursing care.

“I remember I had a patient that was in the hospital for a while,” said Jefferson-Watts. “She had no family and was alone. I would check on her every day and just sit, laugh, and talk with her despite why she was there.

Fast-forward some time. I was

stationed in the 44th Medical Brigade at Fort Bragg and I ran across a Soldier in uniform and she looked so familiar. I stopped to have a conversation with her to try and figure out where I knew her from. Well, she was actually the patient that I had spent so much time with. What she remembered is how I made her feel.”

Jefferson-Watts added that her experience as an Army Nurse has been versatile and afforded her the opportunity for professional and personal growth.

Camp Simba enriches education for Kenyan students

The structure for the Magogoni Village primary school awaits further funding in order to be completed by volunteers from Camp Simba Charity and military members from Camp Simba Manda Bay in Lamu, Kenya, Dec 1, 2020. Due to an increase in the number of people in the village, Camp Simba Charity decided to embark on the second project to expand the school and complete a much needed improved and permanent structure consisting of four additional classrooms.

by Master Sgt. Marie Brown 435th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Members of Camp Simba Manda Bay have put Mead’s words into practice and changed the lives of about 120 students in the village of Magogoni in Lamu, Kenya.

After visiting the village in 2017, members of CSMB noticed that the community did not have a school.

Young children were being taught on a rented space constructed from mud, and older children had to walk three miles, one way, to get to a government provided school.

“The route was dangerous,” said Paul Kinyanjui, Camp Simba Charity coordinator and volunteer.

“There were wild animals and terror gangs.”

After a call to action, service members and contractors at CSMB chipped in and completed the construction of the first four classrooms

in September 2018. Then, due to an increase in the number of people in the village and the success of the first project, Camp Simba Charity decided to embark on a second project consisting of a much needed improved and permanent structure and four more classrooms.

Due to insufficient funds, the development was stopped. In October 2020, however, a group of over 15 U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command personnel and 35 Kenyan volunteers started working to fund and restart the local school expansion for the village of Magogoni.

“COVID-19 strangled and limited our relationship and regular contact with the community,” said Capt.

Francisco Gonzalez-Vargas, 475th Expeditionary Air Base Squadron installation chaplain. “It wasn’t until the end of October 2020 that we reestablished our laces with the community and the mayor.”

The group of volunteers began to spread the call for help. With the use of secured media and the military community, they were able to get around $3K in donations.

A U.S. service member and Kenyan volunteer carry supplies to the site of the primary school in Magogoni Village, Lamu, Kenya, Dec. 10, 2020. After three years, two separate deployment rotations and donations from over 30 individuals, class is now back in session for students from the villages of Magogoni, Kauthara, Bora Imani and Sina Mbio.

“These donations helped us hire labor and procure construction material to finish up the elementary school,” Gonzalez-Vargas said.

“With the four additional classrooms, the school will have a capacity to accommodate approximately 120 students up to eighth grade,” Kinyanjui said. “The previous existing classrooms held approximately 35 students.”

After three years, two separate deployment rotations and donations from over 30 individuals, class is now back in session for students from Magogoni, Kauthara, Bora Imani and Sina Mbio villages.

“In December 2020 we finally received the certificate of registration from the Kenya Department of Education for the now official Magogoni Primary School,” Gonzalez-Vargas said. “As of Monday, Jan. 11, 2021, Magogoni has a fully operational primary school.”

Projects like this don’t come with any monetary value for the volunteers who work on them; they come with a much bigger reward.

“It is life changing being a part of, and seeing firsthand, the impact and happiness small gestures and charity can produce into the world,” Gonzalez-Vargas said.

Kenyan volunteers work to expand the primary school in Magogoni Village, Lamu, Kenya, Dec. 23, 2020. The project, which began in 2017 with four classrooms, took over three years to complete.

“Being able to make an impact in the community, interacting with the locals, putting a smile on the children’s faces, and giving marginalized communities a fighting chance in life through improved educational standards is the best reward I could have hoped for,” Kinjanjui said.

With the school 90% finished, there are other upcoming projects planned to make the school and the community better.

“We are planning several other projects including fencing the school compound,” Kinyanjui said.

“Future projects also include drilling a borehole, donating solar kits and installing a health center.”

“We are in the process of delivering solar powered charging and lighting stations to around 40 households,” Gonzalez-Vargas said.

“This will allow the kids to study

at night and families to stay connected.”

Strengthening and leveraging partnerships is key for Airmen of the 435th Air Expeditionary Wing.

Members of CSMB not only built a school for the local community but also built a lasting relationship while deterring potential adversaries.

“These projects not only help the local community, they also boost a positive image towards the U.S. military and U.S. overall,” Kinyanjui said.

Camp Simba Charity and all volunteers who support these projects have one request: help is needed and appreciated.

“Just a call to action for wellwishers to continue donating for the cause,” Kinyanjui said. “We have a lot more that we can do, but we cannot do it without help.”

The newly completed primary school in Magogoni Village awaits the welcome of more than 120 students through the doors in Lamu, Kenya, Jan. 9. With the primary school 90% finished, there are already other upcoming improvement projects planned for the school and the community.

Garrison youth programs driving away with thousands in grant money Story and photo by Keith Pannell USAG Rheinland-Pfalz Public Affairs Teens enrolled in the Child and Youth Services program in Baumholder and Landstuhl are getting a head start on learning to drive responsibly thanks to grant money given to both programs.

The latest grant of $5,000 from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America bought equipment for the BGCA United Parcel Service Road Code Program. The Landstuhl program was also awarded the same grant.

“Getting a driver’s license in Germany is pretty difficult for a teen, so SKIES offers driver’s education,” said Clorissa Rickman, Landstuhl CYS youth program director. “As an extension to that program, the UPS Road Code grant allows us to get some driving equipment and start testing knowledge of our teen students.”

MWR’s School of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration and Skills, or SKIES, is a program that offers a variety of youth education programs, including at Baumholder and Landstuhl, driver’s education.

The new equipment for the programs includes a virtual-reality equipment package that comes

“The equipment we have right now is made for a Playstation 4 and you just plug in the steering wheel and pedals with a big-screen television,” Flynn said. “The vir-

tual interaction will be a big difference.”

The UPS Road Code program “focuses on different safety principles, from basic instruction to the consequences of risky behaviors such as talking on cell phones, texting or

drinking while driving. The program's driving simulators test teens' safe driving knowledge using a computer screen featuring interactive animation, a steering wheel, and life-like gas and brake pedals,” according to the BGCA website.

Rickman said the Road Code program can aid students who have a U.S. learner’s permit but still do not meet the host nation requirement of 250 hours of driver’s education.

“Many of our teens go back to the States just to get a permit or a driver’s license and that can be an expensive trip,” Rickman said. “Many times they don’t have hours required for the road test in Germany, so using the Road Code program can help prepare them for taking that road test.”

In Baumholder, CYS Youth Program Director Ryan Flynn said his team is expecting grant money from several benefactors.

“We constantly write grants, and we get a lot of support from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, 4-H, Installation Management Command and others,” Flynn said.

“I’ve had a $10,000 grant through IMCOM and $10,500 through BGCA this year.”

For more information on the CYS program in Kaiserslautern (Landstuhl), call 06371-865412 (DSN 486-5412) and in Baumholder, call 0611-143-5413440 (DSN 541-3440).

Raider III Mission saved by local family

The Brenner family performed a High Altitude Balloon launch on Jan. 10 atop the hills of Winnweiler, Germany. Despite freezing temperatures, limited on-site support, and one very complicated configuration, this local family of four successfully launched three pods into near space.

While COVID-19 social distancing rules threatened the launch date, Kaiserslautern High School’s National Technical Honor Society determined a way to adapt their plan by recruiting a single household launch crew. Michael Brenner, a junior at Kaiserslautern High School and NTHS president, together with brother Charles Brenner (KHS freshman), performed the majority of the launch. Their crew, Navy Captain David Brenner and retired Navy Commander Josie Brenner, assisted their sons for this very challenging launch, which required all family hands on deck to ensure its success.

The Raider III mission is part of KHS’ National Technical Honor Society after-school program. This third mission was the most comprehensive to date. Six complex science experiments were placed amongst the three pods. The majority of these experiments were designed to support the students’ Junior Science and Humanities

Symposium research. The launch plan, payload, and experiments were the culmination of hours of research and planning by the entire NTHS team.

For the crew of NTHS, this was the first mission to include live specimens. The team placed a cuvette of live algae within a colorimeter to assess the effects of radiation in near space. Additionally, a celery stalk partially submerged in food color dye was photographed throughout the flight to determine its capillary effect in microgravity. Other science experiments of interest included gravity’s effects on sound, light and weight.

Raider III offered plenty of additional capabilities due to the newly incorporated triple-pod configuration. The team used this extra space to include a total of eight cameras, six Raspberry Pi computers, and four tracking systems (APRS, Spot Trace, GPS, Beacon).

Attached outside of the camera pod were organizational emblems of the team’s sponsors (AFA Chapter 507 and AFCEA Chapter 158), plus Raider III partners Kaiserslautern Elementary School. It was through KES that many of the experiment ideas originated.

The Project Horizon crew, consisting of NTHS members, remotely monitored the entire flight and were able to support the ground crew as they tracked the vessel 130 kilometers from the launch site. Although the virtual Command

and Control Center had close coordinates on the payload, it was an anonymous call from a local resident who provided final GPS coordinates as they had spotted the parachute and pods quickly descending into the nearby forest area.

World’s Best Beer?

The Secret of Westvleteren

Photo by andrebanyai, TheCreativeBrigade, CVancoillie/Shutterstock.com

by MilitaryinGermany.com Looking to score some of the “best beer in the world?”

Brewed by Belgian Trappist monks at the Abbey of Saint Sixtus, the Westvleteren Brewery is known around the globe for their Westvleteren 12, which is consistently classified as perhaps the best beer in the world.

Why is it rated so highly? Many factors are at work, especially the monks’ esteemed reputation

as brewers, which leads to the unmatchable taste and quality of their beer.

According to Ratebeer and Beeradvocate, the Trappist Westvleteren 12 has complex dark flavors of caramel malt, figs and dark fruit — all of which contribute to making it one of the best beers on the planet. If you listen to the more fervent voices, they have some of the best beer in the universe!

But perhaps the main reason Westvleteren is so famous is because their beer is scarce. Really

www.frank-flechtwaren.com

scarce. This beer is not sold in stores and is only sold in small quantities (60,000 cases per year) every week right at the gate of the monastery. It comes from their hands to your trunk!

Buying Westvleteren: a quick how-to guide 1. Ordering Prior to 2019, the abbey was famous for its “beer phone,” in which visitors had to call during a certain window of time in order to reach an order-taking monk.

The beer phone was legendary for the hundreds of busy signals that would-be buyers faced before they ever got through to place an order. For a full and entertaining account of what that was like, listen to the Westvleteren episode of “Belgian Beer Quest,” a podcast about Belgian beer.

Nowadays, beer buyers must register with the Westvleteren website and hope to make it through a “virtual waiting room” to buy online. It doesn’t have quite the same allure as the old calling system, but it does make life easier on the monks.

2. The Pick-Up If you are lucky enough to place an order online, you will receive two cases of the highly coveted beer. No changes are available, and you must sign up for a designated pick-up time. Don’t be late for your order and do not show up with a car that has a different license plate than the one that is tied to your online account, or you will not receive your beer.

You will be asked to pay with your credit card and your receipt will say that you are not allowed

to resell your beer (Niet verder verkopen). Also you are not allowed to order beer with that license plate and phone number for the next 60 days. So you better make it last until then!

If all this fails, however, and you find yourself in Belgium one weekend (under ordinary, non-COVID, travel conditions, of course), you can still try the Westvleteren liquid gold. You can order a glass across the street from the brewery at a beautiful café called In de Vrede.

If you are lucky, at times you can purchase a 6-pack (per person) from the small gift shop.

To make a really beautiful day in the Belgian countryside when you pick up your beer, you can also take a historic walk in a gorgeous area.

How to Get There Trappist Westvleteren address is: Donkerstraat 13, 8640 Westvleteren, Belgium Email address: bierverkoop@ sintsixtus.be The drive to Westvleteren is approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes west of Wiesbaden, 5 hours and 20 minutes northwest of Kaiserslautern and just over 7 hours northwest of Stuttgart.

Additional Resources Be sure to listen to Belgian Beer Quest, which covers Belgian beer and has two engaging podcasts about Westvleteren.

Check out The Independent’s article “Monks who make world’s best beer pray for quiet life” to find out how the monks “Make the beer to live but do not live for the beer.”

Can’t-miss German day trips A-Z: Your Hometown

Photo by lunamarina/Shutterstock.com

by MilitaryinGermany.com If you talk to those who have traveled the world and checked off bucket list items like champions, you’ll often hear a common theme: they’ve never explored the places they live. Their hometowns – whether in Germany, the U.S. or elsewhere – were often just places to hang hats until the next great adventure called.

And then COVID came along.

Which makes the perfect exploration destination…your hometown?

Yes! Even if travel were not severely restricted, exploring your hometown (or city, or village, or

hamlet) is a brilliant idea. You’ll be amazed how much history, culture and adventure your little corner of the world might contain.

7 tips for making your hometown the perfect day trip (or day trips) 1. Do your research. Germany has been continuously inhabited for more than two millennia. The net effect: pretty much every village, town and city has a surprisingly rich history. You can find Roman ruins, centuries-old churches, and incredible stories. So do a bit of homework. Start with the internet. Email tourist informa-

tion offices. Act like the place you live is your dream destination. You’ll be surprised what effort and a positive attitude will turn up.

2. Make your list of must-sees.

Reality check: the world only has a limited supply of leaning towers, pyramids, Brandenburg gates, and mountain peaks.

But the sublime, absurd, sacred, and jaw-dropping can be found everywhere. Make a list of must-see destinations in your town. These can be anything: churches, trails, florists, streams, forests, museums, soccer fields, vineyards, ruins, pedestrian zones and gardens.

Remember: the goal is to see your hometown in a whole new light.

3. Develop “theme” days. The truth is, we may not be going anywhere distant for a while.

And you’re not restricted by hotels, road conditions or restaurant reservations with your hometown. So plan multiple day trips, each with its own theme. You could have a nature day. You could have a “see how many cool trees and flowers we can spot in our neighbors’ yards” day. For those who live in larger cities, you could create walking routes that take you from park to park. Be creative.

If you have children, this is a good time to involve them in the brainstorming process.

They often see the world way differently than grown-ups do.

4. Build photo albums. Photos are an excellent way to document your experiences as a hometown explorer. So snap photos as you “travel.” Look for the best angles, and the best ways to see your hometown in a positive light. Post them to your social accounts if you want.

Or create real or virtual photo albums. These mementos will become powerfully meaningful as time moves on – and especially after you leave Germany.

It’s often the little things that you miss the most, like walks in your neighborhood, the comfort of seeing your house as you come home, or the way the light looked in your hometown.

Here’s your chance to ensure you never forget.

5. Eat like a local. This may not be the best time to take a foodie tour of every restaurant in your village, but you can sure learn to buy and cook like a local. Go to the butcher’s shop and the bakery. Buy something German and unknown from your town’s grocery store. Find German recipes and prepare them. Learn what it means to eat like your neighbors: you’ll be surprised how much your taste buds and stomach can teach you about where you live.

6. Find the hidden gems. One of the best parts about being

a local is knowing where all the great stuff is in your hometown. So go find those things.

Discover the beautiful forest trails, or the cute little neighborhoods no one knows about.

Discover what specialties lurk in local shops. Delight in those things. More importantly, delight in the fact that you discovered them so near to where you live.

7. Explore other people’s hometowns. Now that you have a process for finding adventure in the unlikeliest of places, you can repeat it. Try the next village over. Or the local city. You don’t have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to be an explorer. You can do it on foot, today. The mysteries are out there, just waiting for you. Go unravel them!

Exploring your hometown The best part? Even the most stringent travel restrictions usually allow you to leave your front door for a local walkabout. That said, make sure you adhere to all measures related to movement and hygiene as you explore your hometown.

For U.S. government employees, including service members, remember to always follow command regulations, which may be different than host nation policies when it comes to travel.
