99th LRS Fuels Management Flight is best in Air Force By Airman 1st class Joshua Kleinholz 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — The 99th Logistics Readiness Squadron Fuels Management Flight is set to be presented the American Petroleum Institute Award during a ceremony here May 21 recognizing them as the best fuels management team in the Air Force. The award, given annually to recognize organizations for the effective, efficient and safe utilization of petroleum fuels, further validates the 99th LRS as the Air Force’s premier logistics team. “We’re the best,” said Staff Sgt. Shane Irey, fuels distribution supervisor. “We have awesome management here, we have a very diverse mission and we just take a lot of pride in what we do and it definitely showed.” Considerations for the honor came down to three Air Force bases including Barksdale AFB, La.; McGuire AFB, N.J.; and Nellis AFB. Squadrons competing for recognition were compared based on factors such as efficiency, workload, safety records and notable past achievements. “We just won hands down. We showed that we are the best because of the pride we put in our work, and together we form a great unit,” Irey said. Being selected for the award was no small feat for the Nellis team when considering the logistics

BULLSEYE

Getting back to basics; Following standards on base By Master Sgt. christy Anderson 53rd Test and Evaluation Group

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — I was in the office and a staff sergeant I work with noticed someone walking across a parking lot to the f light kitchen with no hat and no blouse on. I was shocked at what I saw. So much so, I left the office and went into the f light kitchen to let this person know that he must wear his hat and blouse. There is an authorized no-hat area between Bldg. 285 and the flight kitchen’s eastern entrance. This no-hat area is restricted to walking from Bldg. 285’s north side doors of the flightline-specific gate entryway. I couldn’t find anything that says you can have your blouse off. It’s been amazing to me how some people don’t follow the most basic of

standards, and we need to get back to the basics. Being in the military and abiding by the rules isn’t difficult. Most of us had rules growing up, and knowing what the rules and regulations are will save you from the embarrassment of my next story. I occasionally go with Airmen that are taking their fitness assessment. One morning I went with a chief master sergeant and couldn’t believe how many people did not know what to do when reveille sounded. I stood in a sea of Airmen at attention as soon as the music began to play. When reveille sounds you should be at parade rest. After reveille has played, on the first note of the national anthem or “To the Colors,” you snap to attention and salute. Hold your salute until the

last note of the music is played. This is in the Professional Development Guide, and it’s very easy to find. If you don’t have a PDG, get with your first sergeant and get one. It is an easy reference for some very simple rules and guidelines. Another issue that has been repeatedly noticed by our leadership on base is not saluting staff cars. Make sure you are always aware when you’re walking around base. We have staff cars and need to salute them when we see them. Putting your head down while walking is not an excuse not to render the proper courtesy to the USAF Warfare Center commander and his vice commander, wing commanders and their vice commanders and group commanders driving their staff cars. I would much rather be the person that looks sharp saluting the staff car than the one

the person driving the staff car stops to remind of what they are supposed to do. Believe me, the driver will stop the car, and I’m sure it won’t be pleasant. We represent something bigger and have a responsibility to adhere by our Air Force Instructions which are all easily found online. I put in some crazy stuff in search engines and get answers or at least a direction to go. So remember to wear your uniform correctly and wear it proudly. Follow customs and courtesies as they are what define us. We are dif ferent, not ever yone wears this uniform and it makes us stand out. Always be aware of your surroundings, every good warrior knows what’s going on around them and you never know when someone is watching. I’m proud to be a member of this Air Force, and you should be too!

Counting down days: Three steps to prepare for deployment at home By Staff Sgt. Michael charles 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — The 30 minute drive to the airport seemed quicker than usual. My wife, who stared at me as I drove down the highway, slowly leaned her head on my shoulder as if to reassure me that everything would be alright. “It’s only six months,” she said softly. “I know that everything will be OK.” I nodded; acknowledging what she said, but in reality my mind was racing with questions that fueled my nervousness. You would think I would be mentally prepared, since less than a year ago I was in the same position for my deployment to Southwest Asia. However, for some reason this one seemed different. When we arrived at the airport, I immediately hopped out of the vehicle and began unloading all the duff le bags out of the car, lining them up on the sidewalk leading to the ticketing counter. Afterward, I slowly walked over to my wife and did one of the hardest things I had ever done during our more than two years of marriage — I said my goodbyes. She picked up the duff le bags and walked into the airport accompanied by her unit deployment manager. My wife had just started her journey to accomplish her tour in Afghanistan. As a military member it’s hard to imagine being on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to deployments. Not knowing what to expect, a change of routine or not laying the groundwork for an effec-

tive support system can all lead to undue stress for the deploying service member as well as the spouse. On the way home, the initial shock of not being able to see my loved one for six months wore off. Sure I was sad, but I also knew that my wife and I had adequately prepared for this moment. In anticipation of her deployment, we decided months ahead of time to accomplish three goals to better prepare. The first of these goals was to educate ourselves on what she can expect upon arriving at her deployed location. This includes the living conditions, access to telecommunications and services provided. This information could be vital in defining our family roles and responsibilities while she was deployed. A lack of access to internet could hinder a deploying service member’s ability to carry out the same responsibilities or tasks they would if they were still home. These tasks could include continuing education through college courses or professional military education correspondence. This knowledge can help provide insight to the spouse for planning purposes. Upon researching, we found that most of this information was readily available through the various U.S. Air Forces Central websites provided by the local public affairs units in the area of responsibility. In most instances, welcome packets or newcomer’s guides explaining in detail what each service member can expect and an overview of the mission was provided. These guides provided insight to the quality of life in the deployed location, which afforded us the opportunity to make sure she was prepared. Another goal was to identify the services provided

to assist deployed families. While she may have received briefings about certain support services available to us during her out-processing, it meant nothing if I didn’t know what they were or how to use them. Each installation Airman and Family Readiness Center has a list of services available to deployed spouses. Whether it be the child development center’s “Give Parents a Break Day,” a once a month service providing free child care to deployed member families or the dining facility’s deployed spouses dinner, activities are offered to support family members during this separation period. By working together to gain education about what to expect and identifying services offered to family members we were able to move on to our last goal -developing a plan. Developing a plan together can be the determining factor of a successful deployment. By using the knowledge gained through the first two goals of this process, my wife and I were able to adequately prepare for any issues that may arise during the deployment. These unforeseen variables included the need for us to establish an affective family care plan. Family care plans were one of the most important parts to ensuring my family’s readiness. It established who would take care of my daughter, should something happen to me while my wife is deployed. Although I was sad to see my wife leave on a deployment, I know that because of the due diligence and preparations we made together prior to this deployment, she will be able to accomplish her mission knowing that everything will be alright at home. Now the only thing left to do is count down the days. One day down, 189 to go.

BULLSEYE DeFenDers, from page 1 tegrated defense f light sergeant. “We give them the foundation needed to be able to operate in theater. We then test them by running them through a series of scenarios here in a controlled and safe environment where we can guide and critique them, and the only consequences are a little sweat instead of lives.” The training consists of 23 core tasks that are mandated by Headquarters Air Force Security Forces Command with guidance from U.S. Central Command. The basic foundation for the course is mounted operations, dismounted operations and base security, which consists of entry-control point operations, urban operations, and static defense. Many people tend to overlook some of their training when they first come here because they think they have done it before, Alvarado said. “The most important aspect of this job is making sure that the lowest ranking Airman receives all the knowledge that we are giving them,” Turknett said. “Most of the NCOs and senior NCOs have already deployed one or two times, so they have a good knowledge base of what they need to know in order to get the job done.” Through the use of simulated munitions, which fire paint cartridges instead of bullets, and realistic settings, the instructors strive to provide Airmen with the most realistic experience possible. “Once they go through the realism of something like simulated munitions, they realize that a lot can go wrong when something is actually getting fired at [them],” Alvarado said. “They are able to take [that] back and talk about the situations, and perform to a better level.” Shooting at the trainees with simulated munitions makes them more cautious than firing a blank, where they are not getting hit by anything, “I notice the students’ tactics are a bit tighter because they care about not getting hit by something rather than just shooting a blank off,” Alvarado said. The course is open for attendance to all major commands and is primarily used to train security forces Airmen. Between 2,500 and 3,000 Airmen receive the training per year. “It is extremely rewarding knowing that we have a direct impact on providing deployed commanders with well-trained troops that are able to accomplish the mission and return home safely,” Turknett said.

Staff Sgt. Yvonne Burnett and Officer Bobby Ward, 99th Security Forces Squadron patrolmen, stop traffic May 8 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Nellis AFB will be conducting a base-wide exercise May 16 beginning at 4 p.m. during which individuals remaining on base should expect significant traffic delays and ID checks as a result of a heightened security posture and the possible implementation of a barrier plan.

Kevin Limani, fuels management f light commander. Airman 1st Class Devin Cunningham, fuels distribution operator, is just one of many Airmen on the team making countless trips to the flightline ensuring aircrews have the fuel they need to keep aircraft in the sky. “We have a lot pride in our career field knowing that what we do makes a difference,” Cunningham said. “Sometimes we spend all day out on the flightline; but it’s worth it.” Moving forward, the fuels management flight will strive to raise the bar even higher. “Any recognition of the work we do here is definitely a positive,” Irey said. “Anybody looking at LRS will see all the hard work we put into it.” This latest honor comes just weeks after the 99th LRS was chosen for the 2012 Daedalian Major General Warren R.

A quick and effective response has the potential to save lives.” Not to be confused with members of the combat search and rescue teams who enter combat situations rescuing ser vice members from behind enemy lines, Airmen from the casualty search and recovery team are tasked with recovering human remains and identifying wreckage from crash sites to help with mishap investigations. During this exercise, simulated body parts were scattered and buried throughout the desert to give a real life feel to a worst case scenario. Members were asked to assemble at the wreckage point and conduct a thorough search of the area to identify and label any debris that would help investigation teams and body parts that would help mortuary affairs identify casualties from the simulated crash. “This was the most realistic exercise we have done in a search and recover perspective,” said Staff Sgt. David Reckling,” 99th FSS services specialist and SAR team member. “The fake body parts and small wreckage helps give the team some experience searching for items that don’t immediately pop out at you.” Organizer’s decision to use the desert instead of the usual f lightline setting gives the exercise a new element of realism according to Jones. “The Nevada Test and Training Range is an exceptional spot for this exercise because of its similarities in landscape to Afghanistan,” Jones said.

“It helps our teams build a better situational awareness to what they should be looking for in terms of terrain and attention to detail.” “Normally we conduct exercises such as this one on the f lightline, wh ich g ives ou r tea ms a n ea sier training experience due to the easily contrasting and distinguishable items laying on the f lat surface,” Reckling said. “This time is unique because it forces the teams to actually get down and search for the items. That way they are better prepared if something happens, and we have to do this same mission in Afghanistan.” The exercise also gave new SAR team members an opportunity to train on proper procedures and execution of their new responsibilities. “Most of our team is new,” Reckling said. “This training at the very least gets them integrated into their new job responsibilities and partners them with experienced casualty search and recovery team members if they have questions.” According to Jones, this exercise will not be the last. He hopes that more SAR exercises will be held in the future to ensure each team member stays current in their training. “We want our members properly trained to provide the best recovery they can,” Jones said. “If you practice and scrimmage in the most realistic way possible, then should a mishap actually happen, we will be prepared for it. That is the goal.”

USAFWC senior leaders discuss financial resilience By Staff Sgt. Michael charles 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Financial resilience is something that cannot be understated, especially in the harsh economic times facing the men and women serving in the U.S. military. Service members are asked to plan for a future that can constantly change with the climate of the economy. The problem is, many Airmen are not adequately educated in ways to properly plan for their financial future. The U.S. Air Force Warfare Center’s leadership is attempting to correct this by holding a Financial Resilience Education Day May 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the South Point Hotel and Casino. Air Force senior leaders have instructed installation commanders to provide seminars, activities and education events to all Airmen and Department of Defense civilian contractors in order to emphasize the importance of financial resilience. Below is an interview with Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Lofgren, U.S. Air Force Warfare Center commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Robert Ellis, USAFWC command chief, to discuss the importance of having financial resilience and the events that are going to be offered to Airmen of Nellis AFB, Creech AFB and the Nevada Test and Training Range. NELLIS PA: What concerns you the most about how the economic times are affecting our Airmen? LOFGREN: I think the big thing for our Airmen

of themselves and their family. There will always be things that happen to affect your mental well-being and one of those things is your pocketbook. ELLIS: As senior leaders, our focus is always on posturing our Airmen for success. You can’t do this without preparing for what the future holds. Unfortunately, none of us has a crystal ball that predicts what will happen in the future. However, what we do know is that preparing for the future financially will help you to be prepared for unforeseen events while keeping you less stressed and able to continue to accomplish the Air Force mission. LOFGREN: One thing is historically predictable. It is that circumstances will eventually come up that affect your finances. That being said, it is important to have a well-balanced and thought out plan so that when you decide to get out of the military or circumstances dictate having to spend money you weren’t accounting for; you are prepared. NELLIS PA: Why do you think Airmen find themselves in difficult situations financially? LOFGREN: Largely, we are not doing enough as a whole to prepare our [children] to handle their finances responsibly. We don’t teach finances in our schools, and it’s not a required class for most degrees in college. For the most part, it is left up to the individual to learn proper financial management skills on his or her own. The complexity of our economy makes it even harder to do that. The majority of our Airmen are 18 year olds, straight

BULLSEYE FinAnCe, from page 6 out of high school. This is the first time they have received a sizable check in most cases. Without the mentoring or financial classes, these Airmen are asked to make decisions that will affect them immensely later down the road. We, as an Air Force, need to help our Airmen to understand their options and guide them to make informed decisions that help them achieve that financial stability not just now but also in the future. That is what this Financial Resilience Day is all about. ELLIS: Look at the amount of the financial responsibility education you received throughout your life and even into your Air Force career. We do a decent job at instilling the basics in financial responsibility at basic training and technical training but currently there is no follow through with mentorship or advanced education on financial responsibility once you are sent to your first duty station. We need to do a better job of instilling the importance of managing finances into our younger Airmen so they are prepared. Recently, I attended a Nellis First Term Airmen Center class and a young Airman approached me to tell me about his experience purchasing his

recently acquired car. He went on to tell me that he was a little disappointed because he purchased the car before his finance briefing at FTAC. Had he waited until after the briefing, he would not have. After talking with the Airman a little further, I learned he purchased a 10-year-old car at 25 percent interest. We cannot wait to get that information into Airmen’s hands because it may be too late. NELLIS PA: What type of training are we offering to the Airmen of Nellis, Creech and the NTTR on Financial Resilience Day to get this information to them? LOFGREN: On this training day, Nellis is teaming with civilian financial counselors from USAA to hold a seminar at South Point Casino to educate our Airmen on proper finances. We are trying to educate whoever is interested, when it comes to purchasing a home, investing, savings and much more. We are attempting to give the Airmen [here] the tools to successfully plan for their financial future. ELLIS: Due to size limits, only 750 Airmen will be given the opportunity to come downtown and receive information from finance specialists on anything they want to know about. The day does not end with just those members though. The general has designated the

May 10, 2013

entire day a focus day for all military members on Nellis so that they can attend other classes that will be offered by the Airman and Family Readiness Center on base and unit representatives. Either way our goal is to provide financial education to all the service members on base. NELLIS PA: Do you hope to provide more opportunities for financial education in the future? LOFGREN: The Financial Resilience Day and the seminar are just phase one of our plans for the Airmen at Nellis, Creech and the NTTR. During this phase we want to engage our Airmen, inform them and get them questioning if they have the information needed to develop a well-balanced plan for their future finances. Phase two involves follow through. During this phase we hope to provide continued education opportunities so that the information isn’t lost. We want to show Airmen we are serious about preparing them for the future. NELLIS PA: Is there anything you would like to add? ELLIS: More than 85 percent of the people who walk into the Nellis Airman and Family Readiness Center have finance related issues. That is double the average for the rest of the

Air Force. We have invested this day to help our Airmen break the trend. We are hoping to expand upon this education with the financial seminar and provide a roadmap to get our Airmen out of debt and back on track for financial wellness. LOFGREN: While attending a breakfast with Airmen at the Crosswinds Dining Facility, I asked all of the 20 Airmen who had invested in the Thrift Savings Plan to raise their hand. Only four Airmen did so. Perplexed, I asked every Airman who knew what the TSP was and what it entailed, to put their hand up next. The same four individuals put their hands up. We as an Air Force have to do a better job of educating our Airmen when it comes to their financial options. I hope that this seminar and the classes we will provide our Airman at Nellis, Creech and the NTTR begin this education process. For more information on the financial seminar, call Tech. Sgt.

N EL L IS A I R FORCE BASE , Nev. — Because of Nellis AFB’s unique mission within Air Combat Command, there are times when it feels as though there are more fighter jets streaking across the blue skies than there are birds. As the home of prestigious air combat establishments like the U.S. Air Force Weapons School and Red Flag and Green Flag exercises, Nellis’ two runways are considered to be some the Air Force’s most active. No small undertaking for the team of air traffic controllers tasked with ensuring the expeditious f low of traffic; all with the safety of air crews and pilots as the top priority. As a 57th Operations Support Squadron air traffic control watch supervisor, Tech Sgt. Michelle Hughes oversees a team of controllers as they work together to organize the arrival and departure of

a wide variety of aircraft with equally diverse missions. Another important aspect of her job however, is training the Air Force’s newest ATC apprentices in an environment that can be overwhelming. “I like to say that we don’t really teach people air traffic control; we mold them into controllers,” said Hughes, who admits that Nellis can be a difficult first assignment for an Airman fresh out of technical training. “There’s some kind of natural talent that you have to have in order to do this job well.” Even after completing the rigorous four-month air traffic control apprentice course at Keesler AFB, Miss., there’s no guarantee of success on the job. In fact, new controllers coming here can expect another year of grueling on-the-job training to get qualified to move aircraft, U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Joshua Kleinholz Hughes said. “Overall we have about an Airman 1st Class Brandon White, 57th Operations Support Squadron air traffic control 80 percent wash-out rate.” Hughes explains that the reasons apprentice, practices communicating with virtual aircraft on a simulator April 25. White is one of many new controllers undergoing training at Nellis and utilizing a simulator to hone skills required to control aircraft effectively.

BULLSEYE COMMAnDer, from page 8 behind the high wash-out rates stem from the high-stress nature of the job. An Airman who acquires and retains knowledge from tech school may still have difficulty applying and executing that knowledge in a real-world scenario. “We’re still not able to really hone in on who fits the bill for this job and who doesn’t,” Hughes said. For Nellis’ newest controllers, the odds placed against them are a huge motivational factor, helpful when expected to make quick decisions based on the airframe, weather conditions and mission objectives all under pressure. “I’m almost through,” said Airman 1st Class Markanthony Diaz, 57th OSS air traffic control apprentice. In his final phase of training, Diaz is looking forward to taking his place among Nellis’ operational controllers. “It feels like a real accomplishment when you know you’ve done something not everybody else can do.” Upon arrival at the tower, new apprentices begin “front load” training where they combine basic knowledge

acquired in tech school with the unique challenges and procedures of their respective base, Hughes said. Following front load training, apprentices progress through phases to gain knowledge in various ATC positions such as f light data, ground control and local control. The end result is a new controller confident enough to advise pilots and ground crews through each phase of a f light. Diaz’s fellow ATC apprentice Staff Sgt. Tavon Brown brings his own unique perspective into the ATC training atmosphere. As an F-22 Raptor crew chief here at Nellis, Brown witnessed how hectic the flightline can be on the ground-level. “I wanted to try something different and see what I could do to expand my career in the Air Force,” Brown said. He later visited the tower and met with the people who had been calling all the shots. “Coming to Nellis [as an air traffic controller] was motivating because if I can say I worked Red Flag two or three times, I can pretty much work anywhere

in the world,” Brown said. “It really opens up a lot of doors for you.” As a resu lt of recent budget constraints and the cancellation of the upcoming Red Flag exercise, air traffic at Nellis has decreased exponentially posing new challenges for supervisors responsible for training up new Airmen. “Right now we’re only getting enough traffic for two local trainees and the rest of us are just waiting,” Diaz said. The controllers are currently preparing for yet another reduction of f light hours coming June 1, which is expected to increase the length of apprentice upgrade training from the current 12 months to 18 months, Hughes said. Despite the coming challenges, Nellis’ newest shot-callers remain determined to succeed. “You have to have a lot of drive; I’m going to make it here,” said Diaz, who’s nearing the conclusion of training and will soon officially join the team in the tower. “This is my goal and I will achieve it.”

Hagel initiatives take aim against sexual assault By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is vowing to change the culture that allows sexual assault to be a serious problem for the Defense Department. In a memo released May 7, Hagel announced a number of initiatives to eradicate sexual assault. “While the department is putting in place important new programs to combat this crime, it is clear that we must do much more to eliminate this threat to the safety and welfare of our men and women in uniform, and the health, reputation, and trust of this institution,” he wrote. Army Maj. Gen. Gary S. Patton, the director of the Pentagon’s sexual assault prevention and response office, discussed the secretary’s initiatives in an interview

ahead of the memo’s release. Patton said the secretary’s initiatives will work to change the culture in the armed forces. The first initiatives deal with the command climate and enhancing commander accountability, requiring that the results of command climate surveys will be provided to the next higher echelon of command. “Second, the service chiefs have been directed to develop methods to assess the performance of military commanders in incorporating sexual assault prevention and victim care principles into their commands,” Patton said. “We’ve asked the service chiefs to look at methods to incorporate this into annual assessments — what would be appropriate ways to tie sexual assault prevention and response accomplishments into an evaluation or assessment system?” he added. “It’s an open-ended task.” The chiefs have to report back to Hagel

with their conclusions Nov. 1. Hagel directed the services and defense agencies to conduct a comprehensive visual inspection of department work places, including the service academies, by July 1. This is similar to an inspection the Air Force conducted late last year to ensure workforces do not display “degrading, offensive materials.” Another Hagel initiative looks at preventing sexual assault in the recruiting and early training process, Patton said. “This includes DOD-wide recruiting organizations, the military entrance processing centers [and] ROTC to assess them on their sexual assault prevention programs,” he said. This follows recent assessments conducted by the services of their military academies and initial entry training programs. Another initiative looks to improve overall victim care and trust in the chain

of command, to increase reporting of the crime, and “to reduce the feelings victims have of being ostracized,” Patton said. On the military justice side, Hagel asked for the acting DOD general counsel to incorporate the rights afforded to victims through the Crime Victims’ Rights Act into military justice practice. He also wants to evaluate the Air Force Special Victims Counsel pilot program “to ensure victims of sexual assault are provided the advice and counsel they need to understand their rights and to feel confident,” Patton said. Finally, the defense secretary is asking a congressionally mandated panel to speed up its work on an independent review of the systems used to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate sexual assault crimes. The legislation gives the panel 18 months to finish its review. Hagel is asking them to finish in a year.

Automated system reduces ID card waiting time By terri Moon cronk American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — When Fort Carson, Colo., reduced its identification card waiting time from 45 minutes to five minutes, it was a mile marker in the Defense Department’s goal to cut the waiting process, a DOD official said. Carson won a DOD award for its numerous successes in the ID card program, known as RAPIDS, short for Realtime Automated Personnel Identification System, said Mary Dixon, director of the Defense Manpower Data Center. The center is making the process easier for service members, veterans, families, civilians and contractors to get their identification cards through RAPIDS, which is a self-service portal on milConnect. RAPIDS enables users with a DOD

common access card, or CAC, to apply for ID cards or update dependents’ statuses online, she said. The RAPIDS portal also explains the paperwork that’s needed to obtain a card. Once the information is in the system, the ID cards are available for pickup from a RAPIDS site, which are DOD-wide. A RAPIDS site locator is on milConnect. ”The whole idea of self-service is good for people who are deployed [and their] family members are back at home,” Dixon said. In addition to the self-service portal that speeds up the ID card process, other initiatives are in the works, Dixon said. Civilians and military members can go to RAPIDS to view their records, and military families’ information. If anything is incorrect, such as an address, Dixon said, employees should first notify their personnel office of the error.

Personnel offices forward the changed information to the center to correct it. An appointment system will help move the process along, Dixon said. Fort Carson’s significant waiting period reduction was partly due to people making appointments, she added. “We all should learn from that,” Dixon said. “Setting an appointment saves time for you and the personnel doing the processing.” She noted that about 300 sites process cards by appointments. And, CAC holders will find that RAPIDS “prepopulates” their information onto a form, eliminating the need for employees to fill them out. The CAC also can be used for digital signatures. Dixon said she also expects RAPIDS to create a process that saves money as well as time, but figures are not yet available. Future plans will extend the system

to new military recruits, she said, in what will be a candidate database. As part of their initial processing, recruits’ documentation can be scanned into the RAPIDS system so a spouse can access the portal once their military sponsor’s active duty begins. Dixon said the expedited ID card process is coming together in bits and pieces, but she hopes that some day, a kiosk will handle the entire process. “But that’s a while away,” she noted. Dixon said R APIDS is expected to ser ve about 3.7 million ser vice members, 750,000 DOD civilians and 500,000 contractors. She added that the total number of service members includes the active-duty military service branches, reserves, the Coast Guard, and employees of the Public Health Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

DARPA seeks bold, imaginative, innovative officers By Debbie Gildea Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-R ANDOLPH, Texas — The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency needs eight motivated officers for the fiscal 2013 Service Chiefs’ Fellows Program, Air Force Personnel Center officials announced. Application packages for the three-month program, which begins in September, are due to the AFPC officer developmental education branch by May 31, said Master Sgt. Teresa Dixon, the branch’s superintendent. “This program is for highly motivated, activeduty officers who have demonstrated outstanding

leadership abilities in operational positions and who have clear potential to move into senior operational leadership positions,” she said. According to Dixon, the program exposes rising military officers to a unique organization with the mission of rapidly developing imaginative, innovative, and often high-risk research ideas. “The significant technological impact these officers will have goes well beyond the normal evolutionary approach,” she said. DARPA Service Chiefs’ Fellow Program members provide valuable input into technology development efforts during the program, and continue to serve as liaisons between DARPA and the services after completion, Dixon said. DARPA funds

all temporary duty travel, lodging, and per diem during the program. Applicants must be active-duty Air Force officers who are major-selects, majors, lieutenant colonel-selects or lieutenant colonels. In addition they must be considered highly competitive for promotion to the next grade and have a secret-level security clearance. Although participants do not incur an additional active-duty service commitment, volunteers should be willing to continue their active-duty career for at least three years after program completion.

SecAF approves captain’s board cancellation By capt. candice Ismirle Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON, D.C. — First lieutenants will no longer meet a promotion central selection board to make captain, Air Force officials announced May 7. Effective immediately, the Secretary of the Air Force approved the elimination of the Captain’s Central Selection Board. The Air Force is returning to the same promotion process that was in effect prior to July 2011. First lieutenants will now be informed by their chain of command if they are recommended for promotion to captain. The Air Force is returning to a 100 percent promotion opportunity, allowing commanders to determine if an officer should be promoted. “Senior raters will now provide a recommendation to promote or not to promote officers. All

officers will get promoted unless their senior rater makes a recommendation of “do not promote,” said Lt. Col. Colin Huckins, Promotions, Evaluations, and Fitness Policy Branch chief. According to senior officials, the boards are being eliminated due to the significant amount of time and financial investment for a very small quality cut, which affected few officers due to high promotion rates. The Captain’s Central Selection Board rate was 95 percent. With limited time in service, most first lieutenants have thin records and little operational experience, making it difficult to fully evaluate performance and future potential. There will be 3,056 first lieutenants in the promotion zone and 213 above the promotion zone this year.

DOD counters Internet posts on religion issue By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Internet posts making the rounds claiming that the Defense Department will court-martial service members who espouse Christianity are not true, a Pentagon spokesman said today. “The Department of Defense places a high value on the rights of members of the military services to observe the tenets of their respective religions and respects, [and supports by its policy] the rights of others to their own religious beliefs, including the right to hold no beliefs,” Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen said in a written statement on the issue. “The department does not endorse any one religion or religious organization, and provides free access of religion for all members of the military services,” he added. Internet posts are attributing a statement that superior officers who try to convert those under their command should face court-martial to Mikey Weinstein, president of the Albuquerque, N.M.based Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and are identifying him as a Pentagon advisor, Christensen noted. “Mr. Weinstein is not part of any DOD advisory group or committee, nor is he a consultant to the Defense Department regarding religious matters,”

Christensen said. “Mr. Weinstein requested, and was granted, a meeting at the Pentagon April 23, with the Air Force judge advocate general and others, to include the deputy chief of chaplains, to express his concerns of religious issues in the military.” Some bloggers have taken sections of Air Force Instruction 1-1 “Air Force Standards” - specifically, the section titled “Government Neutrality Regarding Religion” - out of context in supporting their take, Christensen said. “Leaders at all levels must balance constitutional protections for an individual’s free exercise of religion or other personal beliefs and the constitutional prohibition against governmental establishment of religion,” the instruction states. Air Force leaders at all levels “must avoid the actual or apparent use of their position to promote their personal religious beliefs to their subordinates or to extend preferential treatment for any religion. Commanders or supervisors who engage in such behavior may cause members to doubt their impartiality and objectivity. The potential result is a degradation of the unit’s morale, good order, and discipline,” the instruction goes on to say. The instruction further says all Airmen “are able to choose to practice their particular religion, or subscribe to no religious belief at all.” It tells Airmen to practice their own beliefs while respecting differing viewpoints.

The right to practice religious beliefs does not excuse Airmen from complying with directives, instructions and lawful orders, the instruction says. It adds that Airmen “must ensure that in exercising their right of religious free expression, they do not degrade morale, good order, and discipline in the Air Force or degrade the trust and confidence that the public has in the United States Air Force.”

Every Dollar Counts campaign launched Air Force News Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Airmen can submit their cost-reducing ideas via the Airmen Powered by Innovation websites while at home, the office or on their smartphones. With budgets shrinking, Air Force leaders are calling on Airmen to share their best money-saving ideas through the “Every Dollar Counts” campaign. In the wake of sequestration, the initiative marks a cultural shift that empowers Airmen to find and recommend areas for savings that may be used to support readiness needs, said Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Larry Spencer. Both uniformed and civilian Air Force members can participate in the month-long open call for ideas and share their creative and efficient ways to save money and time. “When things get tough, Airmen figure out a way to get it done,” Spencer said. “We have some of the most innovative folks in the world, so I know there are ideas about how we can do things better.” Because of Spencer’s resource management and budget-related background he understands the urgency to mine those ideas. “We stopped flying one-third of Air Force activeduty, combat-coded fighter squadrons in April, and we’re projected to slow down or stop the flow of aircraft and engines in the depots,” Spencer said. Furthermore, he said, the Air Force must trim about $11 billion in the last half of fiscal 2013. Additionally, our

overseas contingency operations funding is almost $2 billion short, so we have to make up that difference as well. And the challenge is compounded by the sequester timeline, which officially began March 1. “We have to squeeze a year’s worth of cuts into about six months,” Spencer said of the Air Force budget. “So there’s a lot of money to be taken out of our budget in a short period of time ... I’ve never seen anything quite like it.” Airmen at every level should feel less encumbered by perhaps dated or unnecessary Air Force instructions or guidelines when brainstorming cost-cutting measures, the general said. “Airmen Powered by Innovation means go into

that file of good ideas that were maybe ‘too hard to do,’ pull them out and submit them,” Spencer declared. “If it’s a good idea and requires an Air Force Instruction change, then we’ll see if we can do that.” Spencer wants Airmen to submit their ideas regardless of the idea’s potential savings. “Whether it’s $500, $1 million or $30 million, we want to hear it because those dollars add up,” he said. “We’re taking every angle we can to manage our money and ‘buy’ as much mission as we can. In that sense, every Airman, whether they’re at a wing or headquarters can help.” Spencer said the Every Dollar Counts campaign does not just focus on our wings but includes those large, centrally managed accounts as well. “The Centralized Asset Management Office at Wright Patterson (Air Force Base, Ohio,) manages the money we spend on f lying hours, sustaining space operations and depot operations — over $16 billion — so we’re taking a close review of that account to determine how we can stretch those dollars. “This is an opportunity to not only look at homegrown ideas, but broader ideas that affect the larger Air Force as well.” The general expressed optimism in quickly finding solutions through ideas. “Innovation is what we’re all about,” Spencer said. “This is our family and we’re going to get through this because we’ve got great Airmen to help see us through this.”

Airmen volunteer at Special Olympics By Airman 1st class christopher tam 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Airmen from here, Creech AFB and their families volunteered at the 11th annual Special Olympics May 2 at Cheyenne High School in North Las Vegas. More than 80 Airmen from various units supported approximately 1,900 athletes by organizing competitions, recording results and providing cheer support. The purpose of the Special Olympics, according to the www.specialolympics. org mission statement, is to “provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing

opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.” Volunteers for this event weren’t hard to find because it involved children in the local community. “Anytime you have an event like this, the Special Olympics or anything that has to do with children, it is never a problem getting volunteers,” said Senior Master Sgt. Brian LeClair, 99th Surgical Operations Squadron superintendent. “I sent one last email on Sunday asking for 25 [volunteers], and by the morning, I had [more than] 100 emails in our organizational inbox, Airmen just wanting to come out and help.” LeClair went on to explain it’s more than U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Christopher Tam

the volunteering aspect of it all because people get an unforgettable experience. “If you volunteer for the Special Olympics, you’re going to get more than what you put into it,” he said. “It’s that feeling they get inside, when helping someone out, cheering them on and helping them do their best. That is what the Special Olympics are all about.” The Special Olympics wasn’t just a volunteer experience to LeClair. His experience as an uncle to two autistic nephews made this personal. “For me it’s awesome. I have two nephews that are autistic, I know what it

takes to raise those [children], support them, and the encouragement they need, so being out here with these athletes is something special,” LeClair said, with tears in his eyes. Airmen who had the opportunity to volunteer for the cause felt like they were doing more than simply putting in time. According to LeClair, what set this volunteer opportunity apart from others is the fact Airmen participated because they felt like being involved and making a difference. “It’s not about the bullet, it’s about the feeling you get,” he said

Spouse Club donates wheelchairs to hospital By caitlin Kenney 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

N EL LIS A IR FORCE BASE , Nev. — The military is well known for coming together to help those in need and the Nellis community is no exception. The Nellis Area Spouses Club recently came to the aid of the Mike O’Callaghan Federal Medical Center by donating needed medical equipment. Starting in February, the club contacted the hospital with an offer to donate equipment or any other necessary items that the hospital was unable to afford with its tightened budget. “There was a need for wheelchairs at the hospital,” said Megan Markling, Nellis Area Spouse Club charitable request chair and thrift shop manager, who directed donation efforts to the hospital. “We can definitely use them,” said Colonel Adam Bearden, 99th Medical Group deputy commander. Many patients receiving medical treatment require wheelchairs afterward, Bearden added. The club voted in February on the needed funds, ordered them in March and was able to officially donate 30 wheelchairs at the cost

of almost $5,000 to the hospital May 1. “This is fantastic,” said Bearden. “It’s wonderful to be able to have an organization like the [NASC] donate to the medical group. [The patients are] a diverse group of folks that we can assist because of what they’ve done.” Maj. Scott Farmer, 99th Medical Group medical logistics f light commander, is happy to see organizations like the NASC reach out to those in need. “It’s military helping military and the veterans. It’s always great when we can help each other out,” Farmer said. “You just don’t expect donations necessarily, especially when they are donating something we can really utilize.” According to Bearden, about 325,000 people are eligible to use the facilities at the hospital and the wheelchairs have the potential to directly impact those patients’ care. “We just don’t have the abundance of money we used to have,” Bearden said. “Years ago we could just purchase things fairly easily. Now it’s very challenging to get things that you know you need.” With the purchase of these wheelchairs, the hospital will be able to purge some of their older and broken wheel-

chairs and distribute the newer wheelchairs to different areas of the hospital after required safety checks. Bearden and the medical group are looking forward to working with the NASC in the future. “We’d love to continue the partnership with the spouses

club,” he said. “And we look forward to any additional assistance they can provide us.” The Nellis Area Spouses Club was created in January after the officer and enlisted spouse clubs combined to make an all-ranks club for spouses of active duty and retired service members. Their charitable donations come directly from the funds generated by the Nellis Area Spouses Thrift Shop on base, which is operated by NASC with the help of volunteers. “We’ve given over $20,000 to the Nellis and local communities this [fiscal] year alone,” Markling said. This includes donations to the American Fund, Horses for Heroes, local Boy and Girl Scout troops and schools. “And we still have quite a bit to give away to the community,” she added. Markling said that without the volunteers at the thrift shop, these charitable contributions would not be possible. They are always looking for people to help out, even if just for an hour. For more information about the Nellis Area Spouses Club, visit their website at www.nellisasc.com or stop by their thrift shop next to the commissary.

Driving Safety Tips 1. Don’t talk on a cell phone while driving. Phones detract from your ability to concentrate on the road and increase your chance of a collision by nearly 400%. If you must use the phone, pull over to a safe, well-lit parking lot and place your call there. After completing your call you may continue on your way. 2. Do not drive through standing water on roads or in parking lots. The average automobile can be swept off the road in 12 inches of moving water, and roads covered by water are prone to collapse. Attempting to drive through water also may stall your engine, with the potential to cause irreparable damage if you try to restart the engine. If you come upon a flooded street, take an alternate route. 3. Be cautious at intersections,a danger zone. Intersections can be risky because there are a lot of distractions: turning cars, pedestrians and red-light runners. 4. Don’t drive sleep-deprived. Sleep is not a matter of will power, but a biological need. If you become drowsy, pull off the road and get some rest. 5. Know your brakes. Most cars have antilock brakes, which require a driver to apply a firm and continuous pressure on the pedal. 6. Don’t forget the basics: Buckle your seat belt, limit loose objects in your car and lock your doors.
