ACC stand down looms over Nellis By Airman 1st class Joshua Kleinholz 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — The skies over Nellis will grow significantly quieter come June 1, when the Air Combat Command stand down resulting from multiple budget shortfalls will finally take effect on f light training operations. The impending cuts to hit Nellis come as part of an ACC mandate to cut 45,000 flight hours by Oct. 1 after major reductions were made to the command’s operations and maintenance account, ACC stated in an April press release. Under the stand down, all air combat units not involved in operational testing or not directly preparing to deploy in support of major combat operations like Afghanistan will stand down on a rotating basis. For the 57th Wing, which manages all f lying operations here and provides world class weapons and tactics employment to some of the Air Force’s most lethal pilots through the United States Air Force Weapons School, the newest budget reductions will have dramatic and immediate effects. “We provide the advanced, realistic and relevant combat training to the rest of our combat force,” said Brig. Gen. Charles Moore, 57th Wing commander. “[Under these cuts] that advanced training is not going to exist.” In the past, the USAFWS has produced approximately 80 graduates every six months out of two classes per fiscal year. Upon completion of the course, officers are, according to the USAFWS fact

BULLSEYE
Combating stress By Lt. col. Paul tombarge 21st Operations Group commander
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Stress. The Oxford dictionary defines stress as “a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.” We’ve all experienced it; some more than others. With the continuing budget shortfalls, uncertainty of sequestration furloughs, a pending compliance inspection and the upcoming summer move cycle, many of us are feeling much more stress than usual. The key is how we deal with that stress. Bev Klug, director of MindfulnessBased Programs at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, notes that there are two distinct types of stress — chronic and acute. Acute stress is temporary and can often be motivating, such as nearing a deadline. Chronic stress continues to build
and can lead to long-term problems. We all have different thresholds for stress, but there are a few tools we can all use to help prevent chronic stress from taking effect. First, realize that whatever you might be going through is probably temporary and you are probably not the only one experiencing it. Although it may not seem like it at the time, whatever challenge you are facing will eventually pass and if you share what you’re going through with a friend or co-worker, you’ll likely find you’re not alone. Second, strive to have a positive attitude. Don’t dwell on a problem or event that happened in the past. Instead, try to learn from the event and move on in a positive direction. The Air Force’s Comprehensive Airmen Fitness program identifies “The 5 Cs of positive behavior” — care, commit, connect, communicate and celebrate. The 5 Cs essentially take the idea of a positive
attitude and apply it to our daily lives. Care for our wingmen by showing respect and support, commit to excellence in all we do, connect with others, communicate in a positive way, and celebrate positive results and accomplishments. A good attitude really is contagious. Third, if your objective seems out of reach, set smaller, more attainable, interim goals that will lead you to that overall objective. Doing so will make the path less overwhelming and help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Several years ago, I completed an Ironman distance triathlon: a 2.4 mile open water swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run. A 140.6 mile physical challenge can seem overwhelming to anyone, but if you focus on one challenge at a time and strive to reach the next checkpoint along the way, the path seems more achievable and you will eventually reach the finish line, as did I.
How do we balance it all? By col. James Hodges 6th Mission Support Group commander
M ACDILL A IR FORCE BASE , Fla. — I was speaking to a group of company grade officers recently and one of them asked, “How do you balance it all?” He knew that I had a very busy job with a lot of demands on my time. He also knew that I had a family and, quite possibly, some personal interests as well. How do I balance it all? The answer is that I have to be deliberate to make sure I fit it all in. The best way of framing how to be deliberate, balance the demands of life and have fun while in the Air Force is the concept of Comprehensive Airman Fitness. Comprehensive Airman Fitness encompasses all aspects of life and is described by its four pillars: mental, physical, social and spiritual. Ensuring I take care of the various aspects of life helps me keep it all in balance. I am a civil engineer, so construction and architecture appeal to me. I like the imagery of a classic and beautiful Greek architectural structure being supported by four pillars. The pillars supporting the structure must be strong and balanced.

If one pillar is not balanced or not strong enough, then the structure suffers. The other pillars have to carry the extra load. However, the ingenuity of having multiple pillars is that they spread the load of the building across the columns and, when they are used together, are much stronger as a whole than they are individually. Another engineering benef it of having multiple pillars is that if one is weakened, the others can help carry the extra load until the weak pillar can be repaired and re-strengthened. The four pillars of one’s own Comprehensive Airman Fitness are analogous to the Greek structure, in that when strong and in balance they can carry incredible loads. Even when some areas are suffering, the others can help carry the burden until the weak areas are strengthened. When explaining to the company grade officers how I apply this in my life, I used my typical weekly life rhythm to illustrate. Sundays are critical for my life balance and serve as my best example of integrating all the pillars of Comprehensive Airman Fitness. I typically start my week on Sunday with a restful sleep-in to refresh my physical

Those activities help take some stress off of my mental pillar. I also take a walk with my wife and dog along the bay to invigorate each of the pillars. I attend church with my family and see friends there to strengthen my spiritual and social pillars. I usually work out or do physical activities with my kids, and that address all of the pillars as well. You can see that Sundays are critical for me and in my typical life rhythm they ensure I keep all of my life’s pillars strong so that I can withstand whatever challenges the events of the coming week throw at me. When sprinting through the workweek, I also strive to stay in balance. I make time for fitness to start off my day before work, at least three times a week. Whether I run along Bayshore Boulevard, workout in my home gym or PT with hundreds of my favorite 6th Maintenance Group Airmen, starting my day with a fitness activity strengthens my physical
Fourth, focus on maintaining balance across your pillars of resiliency. The Air Force’s CAF philosophy identifies these as physical, social, mental and spiritual but I prefer to think of them as work, family, mind, body and spirit. Being mentally and physically fit will help you combat stress. Just as importantly, you need to balance work and family. However you define your individual pillars of resiliency, if they fall out of balance, stress will build up over time. Unless you refocus your priorities, the building will collapse. Periods of mental or emotional strain are inevitable. Use the tools at your disposal to prevent chronic stress. Prepare yourself by being mentally and physically fit, maintain a positive attitude, realize the current situation is only temporary, and focus on achievable goals. If you do, you will reach the finish line and be stronger for doing so.
pillar as well as relieving stress to invigorate my mental pillar. When I PT with my 6th MSG Airmen, it also strengthens my social pillar and lifts my spirits. I work hard during the day and try to make each minute count. My work always stimulates my intellect and, like working out, makes me more fit. A good day full of challenges strengthens my mental pillar. I gain a lot of strength for my social pillar by working to accomplish our missions alongside our great Airmen, civilian and contractor teammates. However, when I get home, I’m tired. Spending some time with my family, helping with homework, taking the dog for a walk along the bay and making sure I get a good night of sleep all recharge me across the board. Finally, Saturday is a welcome day to end the week to rest, recuperate, spend time with friends and family, enjoy personal interests and serve the community in other ways. At the end of this typical week, I find I’ve addressed all aspects of Comprehensive Airman Fitness, taken care of myself and my family and reinvigorated my “house” by making sure all the pillars are balanced and strong.

True resilience: How a Korean orphan became an American Airman By tech. sgt. Jake Richmond U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Public Affairs
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Someone once told Tech. Sgt. Holly Mays that people either completely forget or vividly remember their most traumatic experiences. That’s the only way she can explain her fragmented recollections of the day she became an orphan, at less than two years old. It was roughly 37 years ago when two women brought her to a street corner in South Korea and set her down on the sidewalk. As they turned to walk away, they told her to just stay there and wait. So, she stayed. She cried for a long time. “It got dark. It was cold. I remember my diaper was soaking wet,” she says. Sometime after sundown, two male figures picked her up and brought her to a building full of uniformed people. It should have marked the end of the worst day of anyone’s life. For her, it was only the beginning of a long childhood of torment. Life, for an orphan, isn’t supposed to be easy. She was brought to a large Christian orphanage. Like many orphanages, affection was as scarce as the resources. They named her Kim In Sook, gave her unmemorable food, and assigned her a specific space on the cold, hard floor for sleeping. Mays says the faith teaching is the only positive memory she has from her five-plus years at the orphanage. “I didn’t know why I was on Earth,” she says. “It gave me something to believe.” Beliefs were better than nothing. But the important thing was to stay “focused on surviving,” which amounted to a constant effort to follow the strict rules of the institution. She often failed. She says she struggled with discipline many times, and it culminated with her sleep habits. Almost every night, she unconsciously urinated all over her floor space and was repeatedly found sleeping outside her designated rectangle. Morning after morning, she woke up to angry nuns berating her. Life, for an orphan, isn’t supposed to be calm. Eventually, the orphanage staff rounded up several of their biggest troublemakers, including six-year-old Kim In Sook, and decided to find somewhere else for them to live. A small group of adults from a nearby all-girls orphanage came and led the delinquent group on a long walk to their new home. It was better there. The adults were kinder, there were fewer girls sharing space, and they even went to a local grade school. But the education experience wasn’t exactly typical. “Picture a girl at public school with

raggedy clothes, who smelled and had no money.” They couldn’t pay for lunch at school, and there was never enough food at the orphanage. She and the other girls were always hungry. “Hungry and thirsty,” she says pointedly. Life, for an orphan, isn’t supposed to be fulfilling. And her bed, again, was a plot of hard floor. There was no heat in her building. The below-freezing winter temperatures made their sleeping quarters nearly unbearable for months at a time. Every day, they warmed enormous charcoal bricks in a huge furnace, and then someone placed the bricks in special slots under the floors. One brick per room. The youngest girls slept closest to the warm center. As an eight-year-old, Kim In Sook was relegated to the frigid space along the walls. About two years later, she met an American Soldier and his wife. They were stationed in Korea, and they began regularly volunteering at the orphanage. They immediately took a special interest in Kim In Sook, seeking her out every time they came. She tried to hold her excitement at bay, always aware that nothing truly good had ever happened to her. “By age 8, I’d never been shown love,” Mays says. “Nobody gave me hugs or kisses or pats on the back. But from being at school and hearing stories, I knew about moms and dads. I knew there was such a thing as love, and I wanted it.” The couple kept visiting. They kept talking to her, and they kept making her
smile. She found herself crying when they left, believing every visit was their last. The orphanage staff frequently reminded her that no one would ever adopt a girl her age, so she was shocked when the military couple wanted to “try her out” for a weekend at home. She resolved to stay on her best behavior, and she did. The two-day visit led to another, and another, until she found herself staying for a week at a time. Her dangerous hopes were realized less than a year after meeting the military couple. Unable to have kids of their own, they decided to adopt her. They renamed her Holly, and she was happy. Life, for an orphan, isn’t supposed to be happy. The lonely, disconnected existence of public care facilities was a thing of the past. In its place was a new world of verbal, emotional, physical and even sexual abuse. Her parents then adopted another Korean child, this one a baby, and Holly immediately felt forgotten by her mother. Resentment flourished and flowed in all its dysfunctional directions. “I still feel bad,” Mays says. “I was such a mean big sister.” The family moved to Maryland, but nothing got better. The abuse, in all its forms, continued. She remembers her father retired there, when Holly was about 12. Roughly two years later, they moved again, this time to Florida. That’s where her adoptive parents finally separated and later divorced. She was free from her father’s abuse, but left alone with a mother who doted on the younger daughter and treated Holly with vicious disdain.
At school, she didn’t fit in. Some kids outright bullied her. Many others were just content to remind her, every day, how different she looked, how different she talked. “I felt I had no one ... no friends, no family. I didn’t see any future. I didn’t see how it could get any better. Or worse.” Three years went by, in a “living hell.” She wanted to commit suicide and considered it several times. For a long time, the only thing that stopped her was her belief - instilled at the Christian orphanage - that it was an unforgivable sin. She was simply too scared to kill herself. But that fear, too, would be replaced by another, more imminent one: teen pregnancy. That was Holly’s reality, a few months after meeting her first boyfriend. When she imagined her mother’s reaction, there was no coping. She was terrified, and she lost the last sliver of hope she had. Finally, she had a problem she just couldn’t handle. The next morning, after years of imagining it, she made the real decision to take her own life. She would do it that night, after school. She gave all her valuables to her sister, “just like our suicide awareness training tells us,” and told her she loved her. Then, she went to her mom’s medicine cabinet and secured a bottle of sleeping pills. Life, for an orphan, isn’t supposed to be worth living. She went to school and spent her first couple of classes serenely enjoying the thought of being done with life. “That day, I was at peace,” Mays recalls. Suddenly, she felt the urge to go the restroom. She went. A few minutes later, to her immense surprise, she realized she wasn’t pregnant after all. She was never pregnant - just late. A wave of intense emotion cascaded over her. “I sat there in the stall and cried,” Mays says. “It was a huge turning point for me. I actually felt happy that I didn’t have to kill myself, and I thanked God for a second chance. “I went home and hugged my sister and tried to start living a positive life.” She got a job at a local grocery store, where met a 22-year-old Army Soldier. She tried not to fall for him, but she did. He asked her to marry him. First, she said no. Then she thought about life away from her mother, and she said yes. She was only 17. After she graduated, they moved to Fort Campbell, Ky. At first, it was good. She thought she had finally found love and security. It wasn’t long before she was introduced to the angry version of her

orPhAN, from page 5 husband. Soon, he was beating her with the same intensity and regularity as her mother had. But she knew life could be worse, and she desperately wanted to be done with her tragic past. She knew she could endure it, so she did. One day, less than a year later, her husband announced he didn’t love her anymore. He wanted a divorce. Part of her couldn’t believe it was happening. The other part of her - the narrator of her hardened memories - wasn’t surprised. She had no reason to believe she was lovable. Depression and loneliness, her most reliable companions, returned to her. For several months, she was just “existing.” She had no idea what to do with herself. Life, for an orphan, isn’t supposed to be purposeful. Holly Mays will never forget the day she saw the Air Force commercial on TV. For the first time in days, she found herself abruptly, thoughtfully attentive. She knew about the military from her father and, later, her husband. She realized the Air Force might be able to give her a good, stable life. At that point, it was all she wanted. She called the local recruiting office a few minutes after the commercial ended. “I just wanted to find a place where I belonged.”

Tech. Sgt. Holly Mays holds her childhood passport, the earliest identification document she has in her possession. It was issued in 1974, not long after she was abandoned on the streets of South Korea at the age of 1.
As it turned out, she belonged right away, and she hasn’t stopped belonging for 17-plus years. “I feel the Air Force gave me a second chance at life,” she says. “I’m healthy, I’m happy, and I’m loved by so many people. People actually describe me as a positive person.”
One reason for that is her current job, which gives her plenty of opportunities to show her smile. As a member of the Thunderbirds, the Air Force’s official jet demonstration team, Mays gets to travel around the country and talk to thousands of young kids at air shows. She knows some of them are going through
difficult childhoods like hers, so she tries to share her hard-won optimism. According to Air Force Instruction 1-1, “Air Force Culture,” paragraph 1.5, Airmen “must strive to be resilient: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually prepared to meet the challenges inherent to being a member of a fighting force.” Challenges, of course, are relative. Resilience is transcendent. “It’s easy to spend your time sulking in your misery, but I want them to know that every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around,” she says. “You don’t have to live the life that’s laid out for you.” Holly Mays stopped living her old life the day she decided to join the Air Force. She doesn’t know the name her real parents gave her, but she’s got five stripes on her sleeve and an impressive duty title. She barely passed elementary school, but she’ll soon have her master’s degree. She doesn’t know when she was born, but she knows she’s two-point-five years away from a comfortable retirement. She doesn’t claim to have any unique toughness or wisdom derived from her years of struggle, but she understands how resilience can pay off. Life, for an orphan, isn’t supposed to be good. But for one orphan who became an Airman, it finally is.

ACC, from page 1 exercises have also been cancelled, Moore said. “The rest of [the scheduled Green Flag exercises] are being dealt with on a case-by-case basis because of their direct impact on training service members before they head downrange,” he added. Without enough flight hours to go around, Nellis pilots and instructors will utilize down time to “thoroughly update, re-evaluate and improve core [USAFWS] academics taught on the ground,” Moore said. Squadron and group commanders throughout the 57th Wing have all devised ways to optimize time no longer spent actively f lying, he added. In addition to increased academic training and ground exercises, Moore expects pilots will also see a significant increase in the use of f light simulators to maintain basic skills. While pilots and instructors will be among those most directly affected by the stand down, crew chiefs, maintainers, fuels operators and many other aviation-oriented career fields will see drastic changes as well. “From a maintenance perspective, we plan to use [the stand down] as an opportunity to catch up on all maintenance activities we possibly can,” Moore said.
He also added that the stand down doesn’t mean an end to aircraft maintenance in the 57th Wing. The wing is also responsible for aircraft f lown by the 53rd Test and Evaluation Group, that , as of now, will be continuing normal f light operations in efforts to further test America’s latest air combat technology. “Our maintenance group is not shutting down like a lot of people think,” Moore said. “If we have test f light activities going on, we’re also responsible for that.” For the 53rd TEG, which is tasked with executing operational test and evaluation and tactics development projects assigned by ACC, the stand down will pose different challenges. “Our f lying hours have been protected to some extent,” said Col. Robert Novotny, 53rd TEG commander, “Flying hours for our fifth generation fighters [F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II] have been totally protected throughout the entire year.” The challenges lie within the logistics of testing such a diverse range of new technologies at locations all around the country. The 53rd TEG is responsible for the overall execution of the 53rd Wing’s f lying activities at Barksdale AFB, La.; Beale AFB, Calif.; Creech AFB, Nev.; Davis-

He also added that while f light hours for operational testing have not been cut, new technologies awaiting testing are being prioritized with many projects getting sidelined until more funding is available. Novotny stressed the importance of the continued testing of new technologies in the post-sequestration Air Force citing up-and-coming weapon systems being developed by possible adversaries. “The pace of the advancements in technology has rapidly increased,” Novotny said. “The reason we need to keep testing is because these [possible adversaries] never stopped.” Despite the significant effects set to hit his command in the near future, Moore says the 57th Wing is ready to meet the challenge with optimism. “This is just another challenge,” the general said. “We need to focus on the things we can control and not worry about the things we can’t; we have to look at this as an opportunity and not just a limitation.”

372 TRS F-16 avionics MTT goes to South Korea By Dan Hawkins 82nd Training Wing Public Affairs
SHEPPAR D AIR FORCE BASE, Texas — A three-person mobile training team from the 372nd Training Squadron returned stateside May 11 after a deployment to South Korea providing F-16 Falcon avionics systems training to the Republic of Korea Air Force. The training, which began April 26 at Joongwon Air Base in ChungJu, focused on the differences between the old and new F-16 avionics hardware and software. “This was an opportunity for us to teach them about some of the avionics systems upgrades they needed to know about,” said Master Sgt. Marco D. Wilson from the 372 TRS Detachment 202 at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. “Although we had a language barrier, you could tell that the art of maintenance is universal.” Also on the trip were Tech. Sgt. Jaamal MeNefee, 372nd TRS Detachment 213 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.; and Tech. Sgt. Jason Perrin, 372nd TRS Detachment 212 at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. A total of 22 ROKAF students were trained by the team during the course, which mainly focused on the Common Configuration Implementation Program, an upgrade in hardware and software for several key F-16 avionics systems. “Not only did we work with the ROKAF with the Common Configuration Implementation Program, we also had some opportunities to demonstrate good maintenance practices on other systems not related to the course,” Wilson said. Although all of the team members had previously served in South Korea, getting the chance to see how the ROKAF works up close and personal was eye-opening.

The three Airmen were part of a 372nd TRS mobile training team teaching F-16 avionics systems upgrades to the ROKAF.
“We do have differences in maintenance practices and it was interesting to see the way that they organized and conducted maintenance,” Wilson said. “But for the most part, it was expressed to us that the ROKAF mimics the USAF in many ways and it was apparent.” The exchange between the U.S. and ROKAF maintainers wasn’t all about work. “They invited us out to eat with them and we had a great time,” Wilson said. “It was very interesting for all of us in-
structors (all 6 feet and above in height) to try and sit cross-legged on the floor to eat. The ROKAF guys laughed at us for being so tall, but were happy that we tried our best.” Being committed to the defense of one’s country is also universal. “The conversation between us all was very interesting and we related to each
other as only military brothers in arms could,” Wilson said. “We go through a lot of the same things being in the military. Especially when it comes to family, but we love our countries and are devoted to our service.” The 372nd Training Squadron is part of the 982nd Training Group based at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas.

N EL L IS A I R FORCE BA SE , Nev. — The Warrior Fitness Center hosted its annual community health fair May 17 featuring 22 organizations from on and off base to promote comprehensive Airman fitness. The health fair was comprised of three events, including the safety 5 kilometer run, the health and fitness fair and a United Blood Services blood drive. The purpose of the fair, which was held on the WFC basketball courts, was to “support Comprehensive Airman Fitness day, and to showcase to the base community what we offer,” said Tech Sgt. Noe Andrade, event organizer. The day kicked off with the 5K Run for Safety, which included approximately 400 Airmen, veterans and family members, who pledged to make fitness and safety a lifestyle. Following the run, the doors were opened to the annual health fair where more than 20 organizations and businesses were ready to offer counsel and advice on a wide range of health-

related and fitness topics. Interactive booths covered cholesterol, blood pressure, foot care, eye care, diet plans and a plethora of other health care concerns. Outdoor recreation also set up a booth to showcase various equipment available to rent including mountain bikes, canoes and camping equipment.
Donors “gave the gift of life” by stopping in at the United Blood Services blood drive. Going into the event, organizers expected only 15 blood donation appointments, Andrade said. By the end of the day however, phlebotomists accepted 31 successful donations; far exceeding expectations.

AFRC helps Airmen with financial responsibilities By Airman 1st class timothy Young 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Every Airman has financial responsibilities. There are people on Nellis who are filled with knowledge and information that can help Airmen to improve their understanding of finances and develop an effective budget. The Airman and Family Readiness Center is one of the most valuable tools to get this knowledge to Airmen and their families. The AFRC conducts a large variety of financial classes monthly including basic budgeting, credit, debt management and purchasing a car. Some people feel that by taking a financial class it shows that they cannot handle their own financial responsibilities, but it is better to take control of your finances early than to end up in financial trouble later according to the AFRC. “Some people are embarrassed. They feel like because they attend a class there’s a financial issue,” said Quan Franklin, AFRC community readiness specialist. “That is not always the case; we try to encourage people to come in before there is an issue.” “We see a lot of people come through without a solid budget. They just don’t keep track of their spending,” she said. “So I think budgeting is a really big problem here.” “The main goal is to reach our Airmen at a young age,” said Chief Master Sgt. Wesley Mathias, 57th Wing command chief. “Everyone has financial is-
sues at some point or stage in their life.” “We can teach how to make better financial decisions or equip [Airmen] with the resources to help save. Will it make them a millionaire? Maybe not, but it can lead [to] becoming a little bit more financially stable,” he said. “When I bought my first car as an Airman I wish I had some financial savvy,” he said. “[If] I had some of this type of training I probably would have made a better decision.” “It’s not just the younger Airmen,” Franklin said. “We see some sergeants [and higher] as well.” The AFRC has a lot to offer, including one-on-one and family consultations, Franklin said. “We encourage spouses to come as well,” she added. The biggest problem the AFRC encounters with its financial classes is filling them with people. “We have a lot of classes to offer in order to better prepare Airmen,” said Franklin. “[Airmen] just have to take that step to come in.” Attending the classes at the AFRC can provide you with the resources you need to make informed choices. “If you use those resources and make better decisions, you can take care of your family, pay your bills and get out of debt. In other words, making yourself more financially resilient,” Mathias said. “If two Airmen make better decisions, then we’ve won.” Don’t miss out on the knowledge; take advantage of the free classes at the AFRC. For more information about financial education classes call the AFRC at (702) 652-3327.

First of its kind: Weapons school mission planning course graduates first enlisted Airmen By staff sgt. Gregory Brook 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — The first-ever course taught at the U.S. Air Force Weapons School for enlisted intelligence professionals, the Advanced Enlisted Mission Planning Course, graduated six enlisted students for class 13-1 here May 17. When these Airmen return to their home units, they will work closely with their intelligence weapons officers and chiefs of training to help their units not only retain readiness, but work to improve standing training programs as well. “They all worked extremely hard,” said Capt. James Blick, 19th Weapons Squadron Mission Planning Course flight commander, and AEMPC chief. “They were thrown into an incredibly challenging situation. Even when they were sitting there tired and groggy, they were thinking about going back home and teaching others and making them better.” AEMPC is a five-week class that teaches advanced mission planning concepts for supporting major combat operations. The course consists of more than 120 hours of academic instruction taught by multiple Weapons School officer and NCO instructors and numerous practical exercises. The AEMPC culminates with students
participating in two weeks of Weapons School Integration Phase missions. The course is designed for 5-level and 7-level NCOs who are expected to work with their intelligence weapons officer to lead intelligence Airmen both at home and in combat. “When the Air Force goes to war, we don’t go to war as an F-16 Fighting Falcon unit or as an F-22 Raptor unit we bring our full force to bear,” Blick said. We bring Raptors, bombers, non-kinetic effects, space, cyber, all that into one mission planning cell to accomplish our missions.” The Mission Integration Phase of Weapons School is one of the capstone phases for the school, Blick said. It is a 5 1/2 month course, and the fifth month is mission integration. The weapons students have had four months of preparation. The enlisted students have had three weeks. They get three weeks of academics and it is a very intense academic schedule. Then they are thrown into the fray. It is pretty incredible that they can swim in the deep end when they are thrown in. “Mission integration is where we plan missions to solve a tactical problem,” said Staff Sgt. Stephen Brown, intelligence analyst at the 547th Intelligence Squadron. “We have to go strike these simulated targets up on the range, all the while navigating through a missile defense system that’s up there and fighting against
the 64th Aggressors. You get A-10 [Thunderbolt IIs], F-15 [Eagles], F-16s, and B-1B [Lancers], all these guys coming together and we have to strike this target and we have to get through and jump [these hurdles] to get there. That’s what integration is.” “One of the big advantages our weapons officer students have over the enlisted guys is more time and they get much more intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance academics,” Blick said. “We’ve gotten feedback from the other squadrons and it has been positive. It’s not a bunch of officers and an enlisted guy, it is a team and it’s a team of different skill sets. That skill set so far has been on par with what the weapons school needs for its standards to do that training.” “We get the best of the best teaching us academics,” Brown said. “It is a lot of information and a very short amount of time to absorb it all. From day one we had academics from seven to five and then they came in at the end of the day and [said] ‘alright we need you to give a thirty minute briefing tomorrow morning first thing on this platform now.’ So I get the remainder of the night to put together this thirty minute briefing on something I’m not that familiar with.” “In the end you take a lot away from it, it’s worth it,” Brown said. “You are not going to get this knowledge anywhere else.”

N ELLIS A IR FORCE BASE , Nev. — Summer is fast approaching, and with it many opportunities for Nellis Air Force Base service members to enjoy the sunshine. Some Airmen are keenly aware of how hot it gets here at Nellis working outside every day, some are not. Being stationed here in Las Vegas presents service members with many opportunities to take advantage of the weather and the local attractions that are built around days of endless sunshine. However, it also presents an entirely different set of dangers to their health and safety. There are many ways to fall victim to the desert climate. Service members often work outside on the f lightline in 110 degree temperatures. There are exercises that take place in the desert where there is no air conditioning or a ready supply of water. There are the

physical fitness assessments service members run on a track outside. Offduty, there are hikes to take, rocks to climb, sports to play outside and pools on the strip among many other outdoor activities. Though it isn’t quite summer yet, the days of triple-digit temperatures are here and the increased risk of heat injuries along with them. “There is an increased risk here because of the dry heat,” said Dale Williams, a civilian paramedic working for the 99th Medical Group emergency room. There are several different types of heat related injuries. Dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, sunburns and surfaces that are heated by the sun during the day all pose a significant threat. Dehydration is one of the more common injuries, Wi l lia ms sa id. In the heat, it happens when people don’t drink enough f luids to replenish what their bodies lose in the form of sweat trying to keep cool. Some of its symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness and fainting.

BULLSEYE SummEr, from page 18 “When someone starts getting dehydrated take them out of the sun and get them plenty of water,” Williams said. Dehydration can also lead to more serious heat related injuries. Heat exhaustion is cause by activity in a hot environment, which can lead to the body being unable to cool itself effectively; its symptoms include weakness, nausea, cramps, and profuse sweating. Heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke, which can be fatal if not treated, said Lt. Col. (Dr.) Stephen M. Galvin 99th Medical Operations Squadron emergency services medical director. Heat stroke occurs when the body’s temperature regulation system fails. A person suffering from heat stroke will have an elevated body temperature, often reaching 105-106 F, and will STOP sweating. They may have confusion, disorientation, and seizures which can progress to the loss of consciousness or coma and death. Heat stress’ affects include decreased cognitive function, decreased productivity, and decreased strength and can even cause impairment similar to drinking alcohol. “One way to recognize it, you start to sweat really badly and then you get red, that’s heat exhaustion,” Williams said.
h 11t l ua n An
“It will very quickly go to heat stroke. Once your body quits sweating you are in heat stroke. If its 110 [degrees] and you are not sweating you need to go to the emergency room.” “We had a pilot come in,” Williams said. “They were doing an exercise where they dropped him in the desert and he had to walk around for an hour and then hold up and wait for them to come and find him. It was a simulated exercise but he ended up getting heat stroke. When they dropped him off he really started complaining of abdominal pain and he quit sweating and he came to us with a core temp of just under 105 degrees. It took us four days with him in the intensive care unit to get him back to normal. He was out there for an hour in the sun and it was 108 degrees that day.” Sunburns are another common injury in Las Vegas. Sunburn is a first degree burn, Williams said. It’s very painful and there isn’t much you can do about it. “If you get bad enough sunburn it can make you very weak and fatigued and physically sick,” said Capt. Lydia Nefedov, a registered nurse at the 99th Medical Group Mike O’Callaghan Federal Hospital emergency room . The use of sun blocking agents will not prevent a person from suffering
heat exhaustion or heat stroke, but will prevent sunburns. High potency sun blocking agents should be applied throughout the day to reduce the risk of sunburn, Galvin said. Wear loose light clothing which covers the exposed skin, sunglasses and a broad brimmed hat. It is also important to remember that sunscreens are broken down by heat, so leaving them in a vehicle can reduce their effect. Another concern is how hot the surfaces outside can become. “We have had children come in with second degree burns on the bottoms of their feet because they walked outside on the pavement in the middle of the day,” Nefedov said. “That’s a serious injury and requires being transported to a different hospital and being admitted for several weeks.” It is terribly hot on the tarmac, Williams said. There have been many injuries where people have fallen on the asphalt and it is 130 or 140 degrees and they get immediate second or third degree burns. It is something you have to be very aware of. “One time we had an [older] lady who fell and broke her hip in a parking lot and she laid there for an hour before anyone noticed,” Nefedov said. “She had second and third degree burns on one side of her

body. She was also dehydrated from lying out in the sun for an hour.” “I actually got second degree burns from touching my car,” said Maj. (Dr.) Kristin Silvia, f light commander and associate program director for the emergency medicine residency program at the Mike O’Callaghan federal hospital. “I rolled down the window and touched the side of my car and got second degree burns from it.” The best defense against the possibility of heat related injury is to stay hydrated and to be aware. “Always plan ahead if you plan on drinking [alcohol], which a lot of people do in[Las] Vegas and a lot of young people do, especially make sure you incorporate some f luids that are non-caffeinated, Nefedov said. “If you’re out all day not drinking, keeping yourself hydrated is the best combat for the summer heat. If you are at the pool go into the pool. Make sure you wear shoes on the hot pavement.” This summer, stay safe on and off-duty by taking a few very simple precautions. The most important thing to do is to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

Beneficiaries must sign up for TRICARE automatic payment by May 31 WASHINGTON, D.C. (AFNS) — Beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Reserve Select or TRICARE Retired Reserve who pay monthly premiums by check must switch to an electronic form of payment by May 31 to avoid losing coverage. TRICARE will only accept monthly premium payments using recurring automatic payments by credit or debit card, or by recurring electronic funds transfer from a linked bank account. To avoid confusion, beneficiaries should verify that their bank sends EFT payments electronically. The Defense Manpower Data Center notified current TRR and TRS beneficiaries directly by email, and new beneficiaries were informed in their welcome package information when enrolling. Electronic payments streamline account management and ensure continuous coverage for beneficiaries. Failure to pay premiums by the due date results in termination of coverage. Beneficiaries can contact their regional contractor to set up automatic payments and get more information. “There are still a considerable number of Air Force reservists in the west region who have yet to establish their automated payment option with TRICARE for their monthly TRS/TRR premiums,” said James F. Walsh, the Air Force Reserve chief of Benefits and Entitlements Policy. “Those members who do not have this requirement established by the deadline will have their coverage suspended and possibly terminated for 12 months come June 1.” Contact information for each region is available online at www.TRICARE. mil/contacts.

‘Critical Days of Summer’ dangerous time for children 99th Air Base Wing Safety Office
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Spring is here and before we know it children will be out of school, and we’ll start another Critical Days of Summer in Las Vegas. With the arrival of summer and the last day of school for most students in Clark County being June 5, there are recreational activities to be enjoyed with friends and family in an area that offers countless opportunities to have fun and unwind. If the proper precautions are not taken, however, these new activities bring with them a new list of safety threats that can end the fun quickly. The national “Safe Kids Campaign” states every year one of four children ages 14 and younger will sustain an injury that requires medical attention. It is also estimated that 40 percent of all injury-related emergency room visits and 42 percent of all injury-related deaths happen between May and August due to children having less supervision, more free time and being more involved in outdoor activities. Safe Kids USA estimates that across the nation, this summer alone, nearly 3 million emergency room visits will be for children
14 and younger due to serious injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes, drowning’s, bike crashes, pedestrian incidents, falls and other preventable mishaps. For most families, summer is the time to unwind, enjoy outside activities and plan vacations. However, medical professionals across the country refer to this time of year as the “trauma season.” While we encourage you to relax and enjoy Las Vegas’ long summer days, it’s important to keep safety in mind. Trauma is preventable. Keeping your children out of the emergency room takes thought, preparation and close supervision. Proper protective gear and other simple preventative steps could help keep your child safe this summer. Safe Kids USA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following steps to reduce accidental injury and death to children during the summer months: · Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, even with the windows slightly open. If you see an unattended child in a car, call 911 immediately. If located on base let the 911 operator know what military installation you’re on. · Stay hydrated. Offer children a drink

of water six to eight times a day. Even if they aren’t thirsty, offering a drink can aid in keeping them healthy and hydrated. During outdoor play time offer children a drink every 15 to 20 minutes. · Protect children from the sun; use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun’s rays are strongest. · Actively supervise your child when engaging in summertime activities such as swimming and playing on playgrounds. · Install four-sided fencing, at least four feet high, around home pools or spas to prevent children from accessing them unsupervised. · Use the appropriate safety gear for your child’s activities — a properly fitting helmet for wheeled sports and a car seat or booster seat for children younger than six and/or less than 60 pounds. A U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket is recommended for any water sports. · Walk all the way around a parked vehicle to check for children before entering a car and starting the motor. · Keep chairs, cribs and other furniture away from windows and install window fall prevention devices, such as

window guards, on each window above the first floor to reduce the risk of falls. · Teach children proper pedestrian behaviors, such as crossing the street at a corner and using traffic signals or crosswalks whenever possible. Taking a few simple safety precautions can save you and your children a trip to your local emergency room this summer. For more information and additional tips on keeping your children safe this summer, call the safety office at (702) 652-7602, or visit www.usa.safekids.org or www.cdc.gov.
