Team Edwards honors those who went above, beyond by Jet Fabara 412th TW Public Affairs “No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor is given by what he gave.” — Calvin Coolidge For more than 400 volunteers at Edwards, the Annual Volunteer Recognition Ceremony held April 16 at Club Muroc was just one way to honor those who continuously give of their time. This year’s theme was “We’re Coconuts for our Volunteers” and attendees were treated to a Hawaiian-themed event, which included Edwards AFB’s Asian Pacific Islanders Dance Group.

“Recognition is a big part of the military way of life and with today’s ceremony we wanted to make sure that our volunteers know how much they are appreciated, not only by our office or base leadership, but the entire base,” said Claudia Stover, 412th Force Support Squadron Airman and Family Readiness Center team lead for spouse employment and volunteer resources. “I don’t know how we would function without volunteers. They keep a lot of organizations, agencies and offices running when the chips are down. I think you can’t say ‘thank you’ enough and this was just a small way of doing that.” See VOLUNTEERS, Page 8 Air Force photograph by Jet Fabara

Col. Robert Hoff, 412th Mission Support Group commander, presented gold-level award recipients of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award during the Volunteer Recognition Ceremony April 16 at Club Muroc. The Presidential Volunteer Service Award recognizes United States citizens and lawfully admitted permanent residents of the United States who have achieved the required number of hours of service over a 12-month time period – or cumulative hours over the course of a lifetime.

Edwards Airmen vital to F-22 Raptor’s return by Laura Mowry Staff writer It was a proud moment for the Edwards community when Air Combat Command announced the F-22 Raptor had resumed normal flight operations April 4, particularly for the F-22 Combined Test Force and 412th Aerospace Medicine Squadron, which played vital roles in the jet’s full-force return. In May 2011 Defense Secretary Leon Panetta stood down the fleet for a period of four months. In September of 2011 the F-22 fleet returned to flying operations with a list of restrictions intended to mitigate risks while personnel worked towards identifying root causes and finding solutions to eliminate hypoxia-like symptoms reported by Raptor pilots. “The public, Congress and media were all eager to get answers as soon as possible, but we had to perform root-cause analysis in a methodical way to make sure that no stone was left unturned. We did not want to jump to conclusions prematurely,” said Lt. Col. Daron Drown, F-22 CTF director.

In January 2012 the Secretary of the Air Force directed the creation of the F-22 Life Support System Task Force led by the Air Combat Command director of operations. Along with the F-22 System Program Office, Edwards personnel joined forces with leading experts from the U.S. Navy, Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA, Lockheed Martin and Boeing as part of the Task Force. The Task Force conducted root-cause analysis of the life support system anomaly, ultimately determining that the culprit was restriction to the pilot’s breathing, not insufficient oxygen output from the aircraft or a contamination of the oxygen supply. “All of our jets were used for data collection,” said Drown. “In addition to our aircraft, we instrumented and evaluated an F-22 from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., and another from Joint Base ElmendorfRichardson, Alaska, to check for any contamination. We also used sensors to monitor our pilots. We collected data from about 150 sorties using a variety of sensors, some of

Commentary A chance encounter by Retired Gen. Steve Lorenz U.S. Air Force Academy Endowment President As a leader, you must always be observant of what is going on around you. Literally you need to observe, listen and sense in a 360-degree circle in real time. To truly be effective, you need to have your radar up and running at all times because you never know when you can make a difference. Recently, I was walking to my car after a meeting with the Air Force Academy Director of Athletics and I chanced upon a cadet walking back to the cadet area. She seemed deep in thought and very preoccupied. I turned and asked her how she was doing. I could tell she was thinking, “Who is this stranger and I don’t have time to talk to him.” I persisted and once again asked how she was doing. She said “fine”, but I could tell something was wrong. I introduced myself and reminded her that I had talked about leadership with her cadet class about six months before. She seemed to remember and then finally told me about her recent academic and discipline challenges. I listened carefully, paused and related to her some simi-

I remember all those many years ago when I was restricted to my room studying and serving confinements. I would get depressed and start feeling sorry for myself. To keep my motivation up, I would look at a picture of my class ring and remind myself why I was at the Academy. It helped me on my darkest days.

lar challenges I faced 40 years before when I was cadet. We talked about the struggles of having to study harder to make better grades, and that when you break the rules you must be a leader and accept the consequences of your bad decisions. I asked her what her personal goals were and she said she wanted to graduate from the Academy and be commissioned an officer in the Air Force. I remember all those many years ago when I was restricted to my room studying and serving confinements. I would get depressed and start feeling sorry for myself. To keep my motivation up, I would look at a picture of my class ring and remind myself why I was at the Academy. It helped me on my darkest days. This cadet was still a year away from ordering her ring, so I gave her my tie tack which had the Air Force symbol on it. I told her that she must never give up on her goal and that when she was down in the months to come, she should hold that small Air Force symbol in her hand and let it remind her why she was at the Academy. She took it, said thank you and said she had to get back to class. As she walked away, I realized that I never even got her name. I told my wife about this encounter and put this chance meeting out of my mind. However, much to my surprise, two days later I received an e-mail from the cadet’s father. In part it said: “Hello Mr. Lorenz, I have not had the honor of meeting you, but ... my daughter, though, has had the opportunity. You see, my daughter was the cadet you came across two days ago outside Clune Arena. “Although you may believe it was a chance encounter, she believes it was something quite different. Her exact words to her mother and I was that running into you was “a sign.” “What you told her and said to her had a huge impact on her, one that she will never forget. You helped her to reaffirm her commitment to the Academy and why she went there. After a hard day with some difficult conversations and the normal struggles that most cadets face, she was starting to question whether she belonged at the Academy. “Suddenly, you appeared, and were kind and compassionate enough to realize she was in need of a sympathetic

person who could relate to her. Your conversation impacted her greatly, and she left your encounter more determined and intent on graduating because she received (your message) when she needed it most. “Her mother and I live close to 650 miles away. We couldn’t be there for her at that moment, but we want to thank you for taking the time to stop and help someone in need. Taking time and having the patience to listen, be understanding, sympathetic and impacting a stranger’s life forever. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact we feel strongly about. There was a reason you were there to help her and, for that, we will always be thankful to you. We just wanted you to know the influence you had on our daughter and that you made a difference in her life that day ... Thank you again!” Let me emphasize that this story is not about me. I was just there and asked the cadet how she was doing. It is about observing those around you and making a difference when you least expect it. If you are observant, even chance encounters provide an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. So, the next time you are out among people, even if you are just walking down the street, take the time to notice each one as an individual. You may have the chance to make a huge difference.

News AFNET migration update

Desert Wings

by Keith Whitman 412th Communications Squadron Edwards will soon become the next base to migrate its computer users into a central Air Force Network. Over a six-week period beginning May 28, technicians will begin migrating base workstations, network users and e-mail into the AFNET. The goal of this project is to collapse all individual or stand-alone Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard networks into the AFNET. During the migration, Edwards users should be prepared for occasional service interruptions as migrations progress and expect to restore some features to their desktop environment (e.g., Outlook preferences, SharePoint access, drive mapping) after they’ve migrated. Although software and hardware problems are to be expected, the AFNET migration project represents a major change to how computer networks are managed, and is one of the most complex DOD technology initiatives ever attempted. Until now, Major Commands and various other Air Force organizations have been operating their own independent networks, consequently driving unique and unit specific requirements. Over the years, this “county option” approach led to standardization and security problems,

high operation and maintenance costs, and a lack of enterprise situational awareness. In short, there was no single organization or commander responsible for the network. The AFNET migration project addresses these issues, and places Air Force cyber operations under the operational control of a single commander. This approach will yield a significant improvement in the Air

Force’s ability to fight daily virus activity and malicious intrusion attempts. Additionally, AFNET migration will centralize services like e-mail and data storage, significantly improving network security and standardization. Finally, operational and training costs will be reduced through the elimination of redundant systems and services.

Housing Privatization meeting set for April 24 Housing Privatization meetings will be held April 24 at the Base Theater. There will be two meetings, the first being 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. and the next from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. All Base Housing residents of Edwards are highly encouraged to attend one of the meetings. Base leadership wants all of the Edwards community to be informed about the upcoming privatization. During this meeting, Corvias Military Living representatives will join base leadership in presenting information about housing privatization policies, maintenance services and plans for constructing and renovating homes and community amenities. They will also provide

residents with information about the Resident Occupancy Agreement, the military-friendly lease which must be signed to live in privatized family housing. Some of the housing privatization topics covered will include: • Transition to Privatized Military Housing • Corvias Military Living • Services and Amenities • How Rent is Paid • What is Included in the Rent • Resident Occupancy Agreement and Other Important Documents

April is National Alcohol Awareness/ Child Abuse Awareness Month. The Mental Health Clinic and Family Advocacy Office have several activities scheduled: • Informational Booth at the Exchange – April 24. • April 26, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. – Informational Booth in front of the Shoppette.

them routinely used in hospitals.” Sensors analyzed oxygen concentration, volatile organic compounds, as well as other potential contaminants, providing the test team with real-time data. “We put sensors in the airplane to measure oxygen concentration and look for contaminants. We also put some sensors in the mask to see how much carbon dioxide pilots were breathing off,” said Lt. Col. Kathy Hughes, 412th AMDS commander. “For pilots, there were blood tests, lung function tests, and we checked for toxins. Pulse oximeters were also used to check the oxygen saturation of their blood.” It was a unique challenge for the F-22 CTF to become familiar with medical sensors not typically used during flight test. The pulse oximeter, for example, was originally worn on the pilot’s finger, but consistent interference proved to be problematic. The sensor had to be moved, and it was 1st Lt. Carolyn Price from the 412th AMDS who determined mounting it to the pilot’s earcup would not only provide the F-22 CTF with more accurate data but create less of a hindrance to the pilot. Data gathered during flight and ground test produced interesting results and revealed the root-causes of the hypoxia-like symptoms pilots had been experiencing. The upper pressure garment vests donned by Raptor pilots to protect them in the event of rapid cockpit decompression at high altitudes were inflating prematurely, while deflation was delayed. “You need space for lungs to expand and contract. It’s just as important to get oxygen into your system as it is to expel carbon dioxide. Lungs have to effectively get carbon dioxide out. For pilots wearing the vest, the bottom of their lungs were being squeezed and it is hypothesized that they could not effectively exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen,” said Drown. The upper pressure garment’s valve was therefore rede-

signed and tested by the F-22 CTF before being distributed throughout the fleet. “The new vest valve prevents premature inflation of the vest and allows it to deflate more rapidly,” said Drown. “This gives pilots more room for their lungs to expand following high-G maneuvering. The new valve was fielded January 10, and operational pilots have given it the thumbs up.” In addition to the work done to redesign and test the new valve, Edwards personnel also facilitated other modifications to the F-22s life support system that enhanced the aircraft’s margin of safety. One such improvement was the addition of an Automatic Backup Oxygen System to replace use of the F-22’s original Emergency Oxygen System in the event of interruption to the breathing air supply. Earlier this year, the F-22 CTF began installing the ABOS, a process that will continue through 2014 across the entire fleet. Pilots equipped with ABOS no longer have to activate their emergency oxygen supply. In the event of aircraft malfunctions that interrupt the pilot’s primary supply of breathing air, the new ABOS system automatically turns on, reducing the complexity of dealing with the failure. “It’s been a challenge, but the Raptor is finally back flying where it is most effective. I’m very proud of the team, as lessons we learned from this will not only benefit the F-22 and keep our pilots safe, but other aircraft programs will benefit as well,” said Drown. For Hughes, work completed by the F-22 Life Support System Task Force emphasizes the need for continual research in aerospace physiology. “What happened with the F-22 reinvigorated the Air Force and Department of Defense’s need for continual research in aerospace physiology, particularly concerning flight crew equipment,” she said. “Aircrew safety is a top priority; it’s important that we continue our research.”

CCAF graduation This year’s Community College of the Air Force graduation and Higher Degree Recognition Ceremony at Edwards is 2:30-4:30 p.m., May 9 at Club Muroc. The event will honor the October 2012 and April 2013 classes and will additionally recognize enlisted airmen who have completed their higher level degree from a civilian college. One of the major goals of the Air Force is to assist Airmen in their professional and personal development. The prime vehicle for achieving this goal is education. CCAF is the largest community college in the world, exclusively for Air Force enlisted members. It was activated in 1972 in order to gain academic recognition for the technical training conducted by Air Force schools. CCAF holds Regional Accreditation through the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and grants the Associate of Applied Science degree. Since 1977, more than 2.7 million Airmen have had the opportunity to receive a CCAF degree. In 2012, CCAF awarded a total of 20,148 degrees to 18,949 students. Edwards members earned 130 CCAF degrees this year. This represents 6.7 percent of the Edwards enlisted population, slightly better than the Air Force average. Our enlisted members also earned 29 bachelor degrees or higher from civilian colleges, an all-time high for Edwards and more than double last year’s total. Dress for the CCAF Graduation Ceremony will be service dress for graduates and participants in the ceremony. For guests, dress is the duty uniform of the day for military and business casual for civilians.

Celebrate Earth Day April 22: Tips on conservation Tips for Work

Water conservation is something few people think about at work. Since we don’t get the water bill for the office, we’re not aware of the cost and quantity of our consumption. Our offices consume huge quantities of water, so saving on the job should be everyone’s business. When you have ice left in your cup from a restaurant, don’t throw it in the trash. Pour it on a plant. Report leaks or water waste to facility managers or maintenance personnel. Listen for dripping faucets and running toilets. Fixing a leak can save 300 gallons a month or more. When you are washing your hands, don’t let the water run while you lather. When TDY staying in a hotel or even at home, consider reusing your towels. Turn off the water while you shave and save up to 300 gallons a month. When running a bath, plug the tub before turning the water on, then adjust the temperature as the tub fills up. Make suggestions to your employer about ways to save water and money at work. Create a suggestion and incentives system at your organization to recognize water-saving ideas. Invite your water utility conservation staff to your organization for

Earth Day and other environmental events to help promote water savings. Share water saving tips in newsletters and posters. Write feature articles on your employee website that highlight water-saving ideas and successes.

Tips for Home

When washing dishes by hand, don’t let the water run while rinsing. Fill the sink basin or a large container and rinse when all of the dishes have been soaped and scrubbed. Use the garbage disposal sparingly; compost vegetable food waste instead and save gallons every time. If your dishwasher is new, cut back on rinsing dishes. Newer models clean more thoroughly than older ones. Still using an older model dishwasher? Soak pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape them clean. Appliances: Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for significant water savings. When buying new appliances, consider those that offer cycle and load size adjustments; they’re more water and energy efficient. Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons

a month. Washing dark clothes in cold water saves both on water and energy while it helps your clothes to keep their colors. Leaks: Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks. We’re more likely to notice leaks indoors, but don’t forget to check outdoor faucets, sprinklers and hoses for leaks. If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace the showerhead with a water-efficient model, and you can save up to 750 gallons a

month. Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you’ll save up to 150 gallons per month. Turn off the water while you wash your hair to save up to 150 gallons a month. Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it can save up to 1,000 gallons a month. Upgrade older toilets with water efficient models. Wash your car on the lawn, and you’ll water your lawn at the same time. Also use a hose nozzle or turn off the water while you wash your car; it will save you up to 100 gal-

lons every time. An alternate idea is to use a commercial car wash that recycles water. Lawn care: Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation. If water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering time into shorter periods to allow for better absorption. Don’t water your lawn on windy days when most of the water blows away or evaporates. Make sure your lawn sprinkler heads aren’twatering sidewalks, driveways or other hardscapes. Not only will you be wasting water, you would be washing pollutants into storm water drains. Spreading a layer of organic mulch around plants retains moisture and saves water, time and money. Use drip irrigation for shrubs and trees to apply water di- rectly to the roots where it’s needed. For the kids: Teach your children to turn off faucets tightly after each use. When the kids want to cool off, use the sprinkler in an area where your lawn needs it the most. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth and save 25 gallons a month. Wash your pets outdoors in an area of your lawn that needs water. When you give your pet fresh water, don’t throw the old water.

Spring season equals Spring Clean-Up at Edwards by Meg Larsen and Robert Baldwin 412th Civil Engineering Division Winter is finally over and spring has arrived officially as of March 20. Not unlike the same things we do at home every year such as clearing the winter weather debris blown into our yards; removing dead plants and weeds; here at Edwards we have an official event known as the annual Spring Clean-Up Week. Brig. Gen. Michael Brewer, 412th Test Wing commander, has announced that April 22 through 29 is Edwards AFB Spring CleanUp Week. “As with every Spring Clean-Up, we rely on the support of all base personnel. The accumulation of trash is not only an eye sore but it is also hazardous to our health, and increases the potential of a fire hazard,” said Brewer. “Our strong Antelope Valley winds create a large accumulation of trash, brush and other debris, so it is important that each of us takes the time to do our part in cleaning up the areas where we live and work. This ensures Edwards AFB not only looks great, but stays that way.” To ensure everyone is in compliance with base standards, Facility Managers are encouraged to use this week for general interior and exterior housekeeping and to perform improvement projects, such as self-help painting or landscaping. Facility managers should contact the 412th Test Wing Civil Engineer Division Logistics Section, located in Building 3500, at (661) 277-2938 in order to make arrangements to obtain self-help materials. The Self-Help Center hours of operation are

Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. If facility managers require bulk waste collection for large item disposals, they should contact the 412th Test Wing Civil Engineer Division Customer Service Unit at (661) 277-3330 to schedule collection. Housing occupants are encouraged to utilize the U-Fix-It Store at (661) 258-4461. Household hazardous materials can be dropped off for reuse and residents can obtain supplies and equipment to assist in home and gardening projects. Housing occupants are also reminded

that recyclable items and green waste must be placed in the appropriate containers. If housing occupants place trash or garbage in plastic bags or boxes, please remember the 50-pound weight limit. Along with their regular scheduled bulk pick up, an extra bulk pick up will be provided to all housing residents. Metal items can be taken to the recycling center at the Base Landfill, located at Building 7990. Anti-freeze can be turned in at the Auto Hobby Shop at Building 2440. Motor oil can be turned in at the Army and Air Force Exchange

Service Gas Station, located at Building 2110. Tires can be turned in at either the Auto Hobby Shop or AAFES Gas Station for a minimal disposal fee. Paint, household chemicals, gas cans with gas and all household batteries can be turned in at the U-Fix-It Store, Wednesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Team Edwards members can turn in usable items for reuse to Airman’s Attic, Thrift Store, Base Supply and the Recycling Center. Let’s do our part to continue making Edwards AFB a great place to live and work.

Sexual assault prevention, response training by Kimberly Shirley Sexual Assualt Prevention and Response Manager During the Sundance Film festival in Utah, February 2012, a documentary was shown that dealt with military victims of sexual assault and was released to the public later in June 2012. The Academy Award nominated film “The Invisible War” got the attention of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Mark Welch III who in-turn showed it to all Wing Commanders last November. Senior leaders at Edwards were given an opportunity to view “The Invisible War” during lunch at Club Muroc at the request of Brig. Gen Brewer, 412th Test Wing commander. There was much discussion afterwards and all in attendance agreed this is a serious problem that should be eradicated from our ranks. Even though the statistical data in the presentation were a bit skewed, the most important message of this film is one sexual assault or rape is too many. The overwhelming discussion point from the group was how do we get our Airmen to know how to recognize inappropriate behavior in the workplace and in their personal lives? What should they do? Who can they tell or talk to if they are junior to the perpetrator of this inappropriate behavior?

Over the past two-and-half years the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office presented Bystander Intervention. In that training, tools were given on how to recognize an unprofessional inappropriate situation and how to step in and intervene. As we roll out 2013 Sexual Assault Prevention Training, we will build on from bystanders intervening to busting out of some stereotypes and myths of what a perpetrator and victim look like, who they are and how they operate. We should never let our guard down as the numbers of rapes being committed by strangers has decreased over time. Many rapes committed today are what we now call non-stranger rapes and sexual assaults. Rapes and sexual assaults committed by a friend, acquaintance, co-worker, lover, significant other or family member, have been in the news almost regularly. The recent scandals involving religious leaders, retired college coaches, enlisted non-commissioned officers, officers and high school sports team members, have all been reported in the news over just the last year. The SAPR training is an annual requirement for all active duty personnel and civilians that supervise active duty. All others are welcome to attend with supervisor’s See TRAINING, Page 7

Free Self Defense classes offered next month Sexual assault is a major issue not just outside the gates of a military installation but on installations as well. Second Lt. Michael Vetri, newly assigned to the 412th Communication Squadron, is trained in Israeli Krav Maga and will be volunteering his time along with members of the 412th Security Forces Squadron to instruct men and women to help prevent them from becoming another sexual assault statistic. In the Self Defense Class, participants will be taught several techniques to repel any physical attack, to include choking repulsion, grab defenses, pressure points and wristlocks just to name a few. Classes will be held at the gym in the grassy area near the turnabout, where shade is provided. The classes will be held every Wednes-

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response is committed and dedicated to educating our Edwards community personnel that sexual assaults and rapes are a crime and can’t be tolerated in our Air Force.

day in May from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the exception being the final Wednesday May 29 being moved to the following Friday, May 31. Please dress in appropriate workout type clothing and bring plenty of water to keep hydrated. The self-defense class will be based on the martial art the Israeli Special Defense Forces combat style of Krav Maga. This particular combat system is defensive in nature, designed to use techniques which in turn, conserves energy. The actual combat style of Krav Maga is dirty; there is nothing flashy about 80 percent of the moves. However, the reason for this stems back to the fact that Krav Maga moves are instinctual in nature. This system is meant for the victim to quickly and efficiently disable the assailant and return fire without delay. The instinctual and “energy-efficient” styles of the moves are contrary to several other martial arts.

Most importantly, the mentality of Krav Maga, which in turn will be the mentality of the self-defense class, is to give the student a sense of confidence in any situation. These classes are open to all active duty personnel, family members over the age of 18 years and DOD civilian employees. You must

VOLUNTEERS, from 1

Of those in attendance, Brig. Gen. Michael Brewer, 412th Test Wing commander, commenced the ceremony by expressing his and the entire base’s appreciation for the selfless service these volunteers provide. Following Brewer’s comments, guest speaker Jeff Baumgartner, executive director for the American Red Cross-Antelope Valley Chapter, gave insight into the importance and value of just one volunteer in a community. “The American Red Cross is a volunteer organization that relies profoundly on more than half a million volunteers who really are the heartbeat, muscle and the central nervous system of our organization. To be able to come out and thank the volunteers of Edwards AFB is an honor,” said Baumgartner. “It just takes one individual to make a decision to volunteer and the power of one individual, as I’ve seen it with my own eyes, to affect change and progress is just amazing. I’ve seen so many passionate volunteers and it feeds off onto other people, so I would certainly encourage somebody who’s thinking about it to step up to the plate and give it a try because it could really make a difference.” After Baumgartner’s speech, volunteers in attendance, who met the criteria, were individually presented with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. The award recognizes United States citizens and lawfully admitted permanent residents of the United States who have achieved the required number of hours of service over a 12-month time period - or cumulative hours over the course of a lifetime. The Presidential Volunteer Service Award is further divided into four categories to recognize the amount of time each volunteer gives: Bronze Level Kids: 50 to 74 hours Young Adults: 100 to 174 hours Adults: 100 to 249 hours Family & Groups: 200 to 499 hours Silver Level Kids: 75 to 99 hours Young Adults: 175 to 249 hours Adults: 250 to 499 hours Family & Groups: 500 to 999 hours Gold Level Kids: 100 hours or more Young Adults: 250 hours or more Adults: 500 hours or more Family & Groups: 1,000 hours or more President’s Call to Service Award All Ages: 4,000 hours or more of volunteer service (over a lifetime) “There are folks at Edwards who volunteer in all capacities over the years, not only for the base but for communities where they live in and around them, which promotes

April 19, 2013 goodwill between the base and our surrounding communities,” Stover said. “Even though they’re not a designated base representative, people know you work there and that says a lot about the base.” To crown the event, Brewer presented the Air Force Volunteer Excellence Award to Richard Buckreis, 412th Test Wing Public Affairs chief of Graphics, for his service as a volunteer and administration lieutenant with the Kern County Sheriff’s Desert Search and Rescue Unit and other volunteer efforts on Edwards and in the surrounding communities for a collective span of 30-plus years. This award was established to recognize federal civilians, family members, military retirees and federal retirees who perform outstanding volunteer community service of a sustained, direct and consequential nature and can only be presented once in a volunteer’s lifetime. “I really didn’t expect this. This is an award you hear about and I’ve only known about one person who’s received this in my lifetime. When you volunteer your time, it’s not about what you get, it’s about what you’re giving, so to be recognized like this was an honor,” said Buckreis. “At the end of the day though, this is not what I do it for, someone saying ‘thank you’ means a lot more than anything else and I just hope the time I spend volunteering encourages the younger generation and others to want to carry on that same path.” The following individuals were presented with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award: Bronze-Level Medal Jayme Acree, 412th Test Wing Chapel Staff Sgt.

No room for kaboom by Bob Landolt 412th Civil Engineering Division Recently, hazardous and explosive materials were found at the Base Recycling Center. Our alert base refuse collection and recycling contractor employees averted a potential disaster when they discovered an unopened 16-ounce can of explosive black powder that made its way to the sorting floor of the recycling center. They immediately notified Force Protection and Fire Protection personnel who secured the container and transported it to the 412th Civil Engineering Division’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal facility. We are extremely fortunate the container did not explode while being compacted in the packer truck as the vehicle traveled throughout the base to complete its recycling dumpster route. Facility managers and Military Family Housing residents need to ensure hazardous or universal waste items are not placed in base refuse and recycling dumpsters, nor should these items be taken to the base landfill. California regulates and enforces universal waste, recycling and disposal, and prohibits placing hazardous materials in the trash. Hazardous electronic hardware, hazardous liquids and solids, hazardous pressurized containers and many other flammable and

ies, cathode ray tube devices, electronic devices, fluorescent lamps and mercury containing devices (e.g., thermostats and thermometers). Excess government computers, monitors and other electronic waste will be turned in through the 412th Test Wing Communications Squadron remedy ticket process on the Air Force Portal. Nonworking electronics and all other universal waste will be accepted by Environmental Management at the Consolidated Recycling and Universal Waste facility that can be reached at (661) 277-3681. Military Family Housing residents are encouraged to use the U-Fix-It Store at (661) 258-4461. Household hazardous materials can be dropped off for reuse. Paint, household chemicals, gas cans with gas and all household batteries can be turned in at the U-Fix-It Store, Wednesday through Sunday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Metal items can be taken to the recycling center at the Base Landfill (Bldg. 7990). Anti-freeze can be turned into the Auto Hobby Shop (Bldg. 2440). Used motor oil and tires can be turned in at the AAFES Gas Station (Bldg. 2110). Tires can also be turned in at the Auto Hobby Shop.

Sports Edwards competes in Inaugural Nellis Cup

by Maj. Oscar Corredor 412th Medical Group Varsity soccer teams from various Air Force bases converged at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., for the “Inaugural Nellis Cup” April 13 to 14. Edwards AFB was represented by the Edwards Football Club team coached by Maj. Oscar Corredor, 412th Medical Group, and assistant coaches Tech. Sgt. Omar Duarte, 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron, and Steve Lowe, 412th Force Support Squadron sports director. Edwards F.C. played five games in its battle for the Cup and played superior during the tournament, dominating play and creating multiple opportunities to score during each of its games, but as with many sports, it is not always the best team that wins but the team that scores more goals. Edwards F.C. captured 3rd Place Sunday afternoon after a heated clash against DavisMonthan AFB, Ariz., with a 3-1 win. Ultimately, the host Nellis F.C. Thunderbirds, led by coach Maj. Peter Gbelia, won the Inaugural Nellis Cup on a decisive 3-0 win over Luke AFB’s team. The team wants to express its gratitude to the Edwards Officers’ Spouses’ Club for donating the team’s tournament’s entry fee, and to our host Nellis AFB and tournament organizer Gbelia for an outstanding job in orchestrating what will surely become the Air Force’s premier Futbo tournament on the West Coast! Corredor notes the team is currently competing in the Antelope Futbol League which plays games every Saturday at the Lancaster National Soccer Complex in Lancaster, Calif., and is looking forward to competing in late August at the Defender’s Cup in San
