RED HORSE airborne prepares, executes JFEX By Airman 1st class Jason couillard 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

N ELLIS A IR FORCE BASE , Nev. — One by one, Airmen assigned to the 820th RED HORSE Airborne Flight lined up to board a C-130 Hercules on the flightline here May 31. For the past week their sole focus had been preparing for this moment. Their countless hours training and preparing the cargo pallets with Soldiers, assigned to the 647th Quartermaster Company at Fort Bragg, N.C., would now be put to use. Each Airman and Soldier’s participation would be vital for the success of the upcoming U.S. Air Force Weapons School bi-annual Joint Forcible Entry exercise. “We’re in a difficult time, and during difficult times, we have to come together to take full advantage of the available learning capabilities.” said Maj. Luis Gonzalez, 82nd Airborne Division operations officer. For the Airmen and Soldiers, who will be parachuting out of cargo planes to a specified area on the Nevada Test and Training Range, the time spent preparing is of utmost importance to the accomplishment of the exercise objectives.

An Innovator’s DnA: col. John Boyd By col. Houston cantwell 732nd Operations Group

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Surprisingly, few Airmen have heard of Col. John Boyd, with far fewer aware of his innovative contributions to the advancement of modern-day air power. As the month of May closes and the Air Staff feverishly reviews the thousands of innovative ideas submitted by young Airmen, I thought it appropriate to recognize an Airman who committed his entire career to innovation. Though Boyd retired nearly 30 years ago, modern Airmen can learn from his success — we can identify the skills that fueled his creativity, develop them within ourselves, and spur our own innovation. Boyd is most recognized for the development of his OODA loop — the observe, orient, decide, and act decision-making process taught throughout professional military education. But, arguably his most important contribution to the advance of air power was his 1970’s EnergyManeuverability theor y, which revolutionized the study of fighter-jet dogfighting. His in-depth mathematical study of fighter aviation permitted, for the first time, an objective measure of an aircraft’s maneuverability based on science — a tool used almost daily at the USAF Weapons School. The theory identified which Soviet-built MiGs had a dogfighting advantage over our jets and vice-versa. Given the context of the Cold War and the disappointing air-to-air performance in Vietnam, this was groundbreaking and important information. But, what character traits enabled Boyd’s success? Borrowing from a recent book titled, “Innovator’s DNA,” I’ll identify the five traits of successful innovators and then determine how Boyd exemplified these traits. Why do some people seem to, as Apple Computer’s founder Steve Jobs puts it, “think different?” Why are some people more successful innovators than others? Authors Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen and Clayton Christensen have developed an interesting hypothesis. They believe five traits fuel innovation — the abilities to observe, associate, experiment, question and network. Most importantly, if their theory is correct, then any advance at developing these qualities should increase our own abilities to innovate. Not surprisingly, Boyd demonstrated these characteristics in spades. Boyd demonstrated keen observation skills. He

studied history and, following the Vietnam War, was all too aware of the slipping kill ratios of American fighter pilots. Also, as a highly-respected Fighter Weapons School instructor pilot at Nellis Air Force Base, he had spent countless hours maneuvering his F-100 jet in relation to numerous other fighter aircraft. He observed skilled pilots aggressively maneuvering their machines against one another — simulated missiles and cannon-fire streaking across the sky — and downing the adversary. But, other than pilot skill, no other attribute contributed to the explanation of why one aircraft out-maneuvered another. Boyd would not be able to explain his observations until he hung up his g-suit and grabbed a scientific calculator. While attending engineering courses under an Air Force Institute of Technology scholarship, Boyd would make a ground-breaking association between science and f lying jets. While studying basic thermodynamic principles, he derived a mathematical equation to determine a jet’s level of maneuverability based on basic information like thrust rating, aerodynamic drag, lift coefficients and aircraft weight. His E-M theory codified what no scientist had ever done before, certainly not a ‘knuckle-dragging fighter pilot.’ Boyd committed himself to extensive experimentation to prove his new E-M theory. Verification of this complex theory would require hundreds of hours of calculations by the most advanced computers available. But, back in the 1960s prior to the advent of the personal computer, access was very limited. Determined to prove his new theory, Boyd used his resourcefulness to gain much-needed computer access. In fact, he was nearly court-martialed for what many characterized as “unauthorized” computer access while stationed at Eglin AFB, Fla. No one ever said the path to innovation was an easy one! Boyd was not afraid to question everyone and everything around him. His E-M theory armed him to question things few field grade officers would dare. As the Air Force wrestled with determining the future capabilities of its future fighter aircraft, his theory gained credibility. Boyd could prove the inferior performance of advanced jets like the F-111 and F-14 compared to their Soviet counterparts. He used E-M to fight for the development of advanced fighters like the F-15 and F-16. Some even credited him as the father of the F-16. Throughout Boyd’s career he demonstrated expert networking skills.

He loved to think out loud, often on the telephone to one of six trusted confidants during the wee hours of the morning. Over the years he gained an affinity for calling his ‘acolytes’ to get their perspective on his latest breakthrough. These men shared Boyd’s passion for the truth and for doing what was right. Over time they began to share his goals and ideals. Through this trusted communication Boyd refined his thoughts and prepared himself for the onslaught of disdain for his radical ideas outside his small circle of friends. John Boyd was far from the ideal officer. He exhibited faults, some more exaggerated than most. But, his strength was his ability to innovate. He demonstrated five traits linked to innovation — the abilities to observe, associate, experiment, question and network. At the beginning of May, the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff challenged us to focus our efforts and innovate. As we leave this month of innovation and chart a course forward, I hope we can all learn from Boyd, celebrate his innovation, and further develop the innovator within each and every one of us.

JFEX through a new Airman’s eyes By Airman 1st class Joshua Kleinholz 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — “The drop is in 12 minutes!” shouted a crew member, struggling to be heard over the roar of the mighty C-17 Globemaster III’s four engines, each putting out approximately 40,000 pounds of thrust. Quickly I made my way down the ladder from the flight deck and started the perilous walk towards my seat at the very end of the C-17’s massive fuselage, all the while grabbing anything possible to avoid being thrown to the ground during the pilot’s aggressive banking with thousands of dollars of Air Force camera equipment on my back. Mercifully, I made it to my seat, flipped it down and strapped in. In 12 minutes, like clockwork, the fuselage was flooded with sunlight as the ramp lowered and the first of many parachutes attached to a formidable piece of Air Force construction equipment was thrown out the back into the blue sky beyond. In all the commotion, I had just enough time to get my camera into position and snap off those last few shots as the massive piece of steel was ripped out of the back of the aircraft into the desert valley below. I was left in awe watching it glide down through the clouds of flare smoke to the intended drop zone wondering; “How did I get here?” Just nine months ago, I was a brandnew high school graduate working at a Sonic Drive-In in Gilbert, Ariz. Ask anyone who knew me, and they’d tell you I was always good in school, in fact, I graduated with a 3.75 GPA at one of the highest-rated schools in Arizona. But I already knew that college wasn’t for me; the military was all I really wanted. I was off to basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, Sept. 25, 2012, where I was “introduced” to my new life; starting from the bottom to learn the ins and outs of military life. Both of my instructors were staff sergeants, so it’s funny for me looking back to a time when a person with four stripes was intimidating beyond approach, any officer was even scarier and a general was a myth. I was assigned a 3N0X5A Air Force Specialty Code, and suddenly I was an Air Force photojournalist expected to show the faces and tell the story of the Air Force; a formidable task for a fresh high school graduate who’s been a part of it for less than six months and remains admittedly unaware of most of its workings. Fast forward just six months, and I’m packing my camera bag full of water and beef jerky in preparation for what’s sure to be the high point of my career thus far; a day onboard a C-17 flying through a simulated combat environment. Upon arrival at my assigned aircraft,

tal, but pilots need to be trusted to make experienced and educated decisions if things go wrong. “What if somebody’s a few minutes late? What if we miss the drop zone? What if we lose an aircraft?,” Serfass listed just a few aspects of the plan that could easily go awry. “The air war has started,” said Maj. Nate Hagerman, aircraft commander, grinning in his seat behind the co-pilot. “Friendly” fighters had crossed into the Nevada Test and Training Range and were engaging with “enemy” aggressor aircraft and simulated surface-to-air missile sites in order to lighten the resistance for the cargo aircraft transporting equipment and paratroopers. Pilots from the 64th and 65th Aggressor Squadrons, flying F-15C Eagles and F-16 Fighting Falcons bearing aggressive foreign paint schemes, are experts in adversary tactics and certainly wouldn’t make it easy. Eventually, the formation of 13 C-17s was cleared to converge on the drop zone; it was time.

Day on the Job: EOD techs By senior Airman Benjamin stratton 379th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

SOUTHWEST ASIA — Explosive ordnance disposal technicians deployed to Afghanistan perform counterimprovised explosive device operations in harsh conditions daily. Equipment and supplies are an essential element to this mission and without the modular supply depot here at the 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron’s EOD flight, safe, secure and reliable operations would suffer. “The big difference between here and stateside is that we do a lot of logistics moving supplies and equipment in and out of theater,” said Senior Master Sgt. Loren Green, the 379th ECES EOD flight superintendent. “Units in Afghanistan will coordinate what they need with U.S. Air Forces Central Command and if we have what they’re requesting, we’ll get it to them as soon as possible.” Green said if they can’t support it, the request is forwarded to other AFCENT wings and eventually stateside. Instead of the traditional combat role they fulfill in Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Joel Calahan, a 379th ECES EOD craftsman, added they’re also an essential element in the force protection mission here. “It never gets old,” said Calahan. “We volunteered for this job - you can’t be assigned to EOD, not to mention the technical school is very hard and has a high dropout rate, so you really have to be committed.” But after completing the 162 days of technical training, Green and Calahan said they get to play with a lot of the best equipment in the Air Force. “We definitely have some of the coolest toys,” Green said.

“That’s why I got into it in the first place.” Joining the Air Force in 1996, fresh out of high school, Green, deployed here from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, said he couldn’t see himself doing anything else. “When I first came in, we didn’t do nearly as much,” Green said. “Back then, we were pretty much an insurance policy and we all felt very under-utilized.” Much has changed in the last 17 years, including the expeditionary nature of the U.S. military following the start of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. “Now we’re an essential part of the mission,” he said. “Especially in the deployed environment.” As an EOD technician, Green and fellow technicians handle live explosives daily. Their job is to detect, identify, render safe, recover and dispose of unsafe explosives and ordnance, including conventional military ordnance; criminal and terrorist homemade items; and chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. “I love blowing stuff up,” said Green, the Tampa Bay, Fla., native. “They pay me extra money to do it, too. You can’t beat that anywhere.” EOD techs also have opportunities to work on the flightline during aircraft emergencies, on bombing ranges during range clearances, in munitions storage areas, in accident areas and in any other area or climate where an explosive hazard exists. They also analyze unknown munitions and explosives for exploitation and use by the intelligence agencies, and, in some cases, may provide protection to the president, vice president and other dignitaries in support of the United States Secret Service. “We’re all confident in our job and love what we do,” said Calahan. “I can’t see doing anything else in the Air Force.”

red horse, from page 1 _______ “In today’s joint environment, it’s extremely important for Airmen and Soldiers to be able to work side by side without sacrificing a skill set. Meshing together and learning from each other’s varying experience levels will only enhance one’s ability to be prepared to accomplish the mission at a moment’s notice,” said Senior Master Sgt. Stephen Burroughs, 820th RED HORSE Airborne Flight superintendent. According to an Air Force fact sheet, the Joint Forcible Entry exercise demonstrates the Air Force’s ability to tactically deliver and recover combat forces via air drops and combat landings in a contested environment. During the exercise, RED HORSE was responsible for rapidly assessing and repairing the runways. The only thing that separates the airborne flight from the rest of RED HORSE is they parachute onto the airfield below along with the cargo needed to make the repairs. Conducting a mission with such importance is not something that can be done in a few hours. There are prior coordination efforts that take place to ensure the Airmen participating can execute their mission effortlessly and without any problems.

News “Rigging the cargo and getting it onto an aircraft can take up to a week. The exercise itself can take up to six months due to preparation and coordination that has to take place.” said Tech Sgt. Phillip McAlpin, 820th RED HORSE Airborne Flight pavements and equipment operator. Although it may take some time to prepare for such an exercise, Airmen are still ready to go on a moment’s notice. Once up in the air, the realization of jumping out of a C-130 comes into focus. “You’re so focused on t he mission and exiting the aircraft properly; once you get on the ground, you get to work.” McAlpin said. “The mission on the ground is to get the airfield repaired as safely and quickly as possible.” The 82nd Airborne Division’s 3rd Bridgade Combat Team tested the capabilities of the Joint Fixed Installation Satellite Antenna to provide real-time communications, information exchange and battle space situation awareness back to Fort Bragg, N.C. It’s not every day Airmen and Soldier’s have the opportunity to parachute out of a C-130 Hercules, but for the 820th RED HORSE Airborne Flight and 3rd Brigade Combat Team that opportunity becomes a reality quite often. These Airmen and Soldiers go into work knowing what they have to do to accomplish the mission.

BULLSEYE travel, from page 1 __________ Before being issued a GTCC, every member who is a part of the program must sign a statement of understanding and complete a computer-based training course to learn about its proper use. “The problem with the CBT is sometimes people just click through and don’t get the information that they need,” said Airman 1st Class Hoang Vuong, 99th Comptroller Squadron base agency program coordinator and lead defense travel administrator. “Most of the misuse we see is accidental, the majority of the time it is first-term Airmen who have never had a GTCC before and don’t know how to use it,” said Senior Airman Kayla Ciriello, 99th Comptroller Squadron special actions section customer service technician. Sometimes people are unclear on the specific process pertaining to paying the debt on their GTCC, Vuong said. A lot of people don’t realize if they charge food on their GTCC, it will not get paid off directly. Meals are charged as per-diem and when the travel voucher is paid off the split disbursement for meals goes into their personal account. The amount they charged for meals on their GTCC will stay on their GTCC until they physically pay it from their own account using the money from the split disbursement. Another common issue is the length of time it takes to file a voucher. “When there is an issue with a member’s voucher, we won’t accept it and we will kick it back to them,” Ciriello said. “Sometimes the members are not checking their emails or not staying on top of their vouchers and they go overdue after 75 days of receiving their bill.”

“The individual member is ultimately responsible for the payment for their GTCC no matter what,” Vuong said. Willful misuse of the GTCC may constitute a crime punishable under federal or state law. “We had an Airman that tried to claim a $15,000 TDY,” said Staff Sgt. Ariel Hunsuckle, 99th Comptroller Squadron special actions NCO in charge and deputy disbursing officer. “He wasn’t on any special assignment; just a routine TDY and he claimed $8,000 worth of gas.” The GTCC program allows members to charge lodging, meals and travel related expenses, but there are auditors reviewing travel vouchers to make sure those claims make sense. “He was only going from Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, to Keesler Air Force Base, Miss.,” Hunsuckle

said. “I looked up his bills and saw that he was using his GTCC at places like Best Buy and buying major appliances.” Just because a member makes a claim does not mean it will be automatically reimbursed. “I computed his charges and came up with about $1,500,” Hunsuckle said. “It was definitely willful misuse. It was absolutely wrong to try and pay his card off with government money hoping no one would notice.” When there is evidence of willful misuse of a GTCC, an investigation will be launched and the member may be charged with Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for failure to obey a lawful order, as well as any other applicable articles based on the nature of the misconduct involved. “The first sergeant for his squadron emailed our division chief because this member was claiming that his card was not paid in full,” Hunsuckle said. “The division chief came to me and asked what was happening and it launched a huge investigation. The member was separated from the Air Force for willful misuse of the GTCC. At its most basic [element] it demonstrates a complete lack of integrity and there are many UCMJ articles that can be used against someone for it.” One important thing to remember about the GTCC is that it is a credit card and it will negatively impact a holder’s credit score if it is abused or not paid off on time. Most of the misuse is accidental, Vuong said. There is no actual list of everything that can be charged and everything that can’t. The card should only be used for travel when a member is on orders but if anyone has questions on using their GTCC they should email 99thcpts.gtc@nellis.af.mil.

‘Hunter’ pushes limits for self, others By tech. sgt. s.E 432nd Wing/432nd Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — As you open the door to enter, you hear someone barking orders with an edge that says, ‘make it happen now.’ Once your eyes adjust from the sun, you see fellow Airmen moving with purpose and intensity to get their tasks done. The scene is a clear demonstration of the 432nd Wing’s visions of tactical perfection, but these ‘Hunters’ are actually targeting their fitness at the base fitness center. How did these Airmen find a fitness routine from the almost infinite number of programs, books, gyms and ‘ancient secrets’ that promise results? Several Airmen in the 432nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron found the best fitness guru was within their own unit. “I try to help out people whenever I can,” said Tech. Sgt. Scott, who has helped 10 fellow Airmen raise their test results from low, or even failing, to passing scores, some above 90. The section shift supervisor is known across his squadron for helping people get results. His success

with helping others may be because he struggled, too. “I was fat,” Scott said when he first began his new routine. “I realized that if I wanted maximum points, I could lower my body mass index to 25 [percent] or less. It was only 19 pounds.” His initial approach was aggressive and he admits most fitness professionals would not recommend it. However, during one month of extreme calorie counting and “really hitting the working out hard,” he said he lost four inches off his waist. His scores jumped from barely passing to consistently hitting above 90. Scott does not make his fellow Hunters strictly follow his method.

Obama: Nation pours resources into mental health care for vets By cheryl Pellerin American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Veterans Affairs Department is improving access for veterans to mental health services, President Barack Obama said June 4 in remarks that opened the National Conference on Mental Health. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are hosting the conference at the White House as part of the administration’s effort to increase understanding of and awareness about mental health and reduce the associated stigma. Obama delivered opening remarks, and Biden will deliver closing remarks at the conference later today. “We’re ... doing more to support our troops and our veterans who are suffering from things like traumatic brain injury or PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder,” the president told the audience. “Today, we lose 22 veterans a day to suicide -- 22. We’ve got to do a better job ... of preventing these all-toooften silent tragedies. That’s why we’ve poured an enormous amount of resources into high-quality care and better treatment for our troops.” In response to a presidential executive order, VA has hired 1,600 mental health providers and more than 300 peer-to-peer veteran specialists, according to a White House statement. The department also has enhanced the capacity of its crisis line by 50 percent and established 24 pilot projects

in nine states where VA is partnering with community mental-health providers to help veterans more quickly access mental health services, the statement said. Joining the president on stage at the conference were Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, among others. The president said VA is directing 151 of its health care centers nationwide to conduct mental health summits with community partners, which include local government officials, community-based organizations and veteran service organizations. The summits will be held from July 1 through Sept. 15 and will identify and link community-based resources to support the mental health needs of veterans and their families and increase awareness of VA programs and services, he explained. “They’re going to hold more than 150 summits like this one in communities all across the country so that every one of our service members and veterans understand (that) just like you take care of yourselves and each other on the battlefield, you’ve got to do the same off the battlefield,” Obama said. “That’s part of being strong.” Conference attendees are people from across the country -- mental health advocates, educators, veterans, health care providers, faith leaders, members of Congress, representatives from local governments and individuals who have struggled with mental health problems. Today, they are discussing how they can work together to reduce stigma and help millions of Americans

struggling with mental health problems recognize the importance of reaching out for assistance. Obama said there should be no shame in discussing or seeking help for treatable illnesses that affect too many people. “We see it in veterans who come home from the battlefield with the invisible wounds of war, but who feel somehow that seeking treatment is a sign of weakness when, in fact, it’s a sign of strength,” he added. As part of the effort, the administration today launched http://mentalhealth.gov, a consumer-friendly website with tools that help users with the basics of mental health and the signs of mental illness, and show them how to talk about mental health and how to get help. The website includes a series of videos featuring celebrities and other Americans whose lives have been touched by mental illness. In November 2011, VA launched an award-winning, national public awareness campaign called “Make the Connection,” which is aimed at reducing the stigma associated with seeking mental health care and telling veterans, their families, friends and members of their communities about VA resources. “We wanted to bring together folks who’ve suffered from mental illness and families who supported them,” the president said at today’s conference. “We wanted to bring together advocates and educators, faith leaders, veterans, local officials — all of you have shown an extraordinary commitment to what is a critical goal, and that is to make sure that people aren’t suffering in silence.”

tips on financing college education By Amaani Lyle American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Defense Department officials encourage parents and students to consider various strategies for financing college education, the director of the Pentagon’s office of family policy and children and youth said. In a recent interview with American Forces Press Service and the Pentagon Channel, Barbara Thompson addressed solutions to some of the obstacles military children might face when trying to pursue a college education. Thompson recommended researching scholarship and student aid opportunities early on, including use of the provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill that allows service members to transfer their benefit to family members. Resources such as the Military OneSource website and personal financial managers on installations, she added, offer information ideas on other resources, such as a tax-deferred savings account for higher learning colleges and vocational schools. Military OneSource also features

scholarship information links and listings, including law and policy updates that pertain to military members and their families, such as expanded in-state tuition availability. Service members on active duty for more than 30 days are eligible to receive in-state tuition for their dependent children at public colleges and universities in the state where they reside or are permanently stationed, she noted. Once enrolled and paying in-state tuition, Thompson said, dependent children continue to pay the in-state tuition rate as long as they remain continuously enrolled at the institution, even if the service member is reassigned outside the state. “That has been a very positive move across the federal government that all states have to offer in-state tuition for military children and spouses,” she said. But no matter where the prospective student lives, Thompson explained, it’s important for parents to work with school guidance counselors to nurture their future college student’s interests and aspirations — and ultimately to choose the right educational path. “You don’t want to go to a school

and find out later on they don’t offer the degree you’re interested in,” Thompson said. “You have to do your research.” The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website offers a “Know Before You Owe” page to help untangle student loan procedures, regulations and facts to keep borrowers informed and arm

them with information prior to making life-altering decisions, Thompson said. “We want the best future for our children,” she added. “We recognize they’ve sacrificed a great deal over the lifespan of their parents serving the military, ... and we want to make sure they’re ready for the world when they become an adult.”

Families to join Airmen in Southwest Asia By capt. Angela Webb 379th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

SOUTHWEST ASIA — Fifteen Airmen assigned to U.S. Air Forces Central Command, the Combined Air and Space Operations Center, and the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing are taking advantage of a two-year accompanied tour opportunity — and numbers continue to grow. In the next few years a total of 60 families will be in Southwest Asia. The Command Sponsorship Program is an accompanied-tour initiative started in 2011 to increase mission effectiveness through extended permanent party presence, greater mission continuity and fewer burdens on families. Permanent party tours are considered “accompanied” only when the overseas installation commander or designated representative approves an individual’s request for their family to reside with them at a particular location. Families serving an AFCENT-accompanied tour reside off base in the local community, attend local schools and obtain most goods and services from the local economy, enjoying an

opportunity to experience what the dynamic Middle Eastern society has to offer. Families shop at local “souqs” or markets, where they can barter for silks, carpets, spices, antiques and gold. They can also shop at one of the many malls for access to items that would be normally found throughout the United States. Some malls even offer indoor ice skating or amusement park rides. The presence of both permanent party and rotational members at this location make for a very unique experience. While there are various museums, theaters and nearby beaches that provide unique cultural experiences, the main aspect of CSP is keeping families together. “One of the traditional advantages to serving a command sponsored tour is the ability to keep dependents united with their military sponsors,” said Lt. Col. David Stanfield, previous 379th Air Expeditionary Wing CSP manager. “Our program represents a rare opportunity for Air Force dependents to live in a part of the world normally only experienced by Air Force members on a deployment.”

BULLSEYE families, from page 18 _________________ Captain Jill Heliker, Theater Engineering branch chief, agreed. She and her husband, Jon, were one of the first four Air Force families to be command sponsored in Southwest Asia, and are considered program pioneers. “When the opportunity was presented for a one-year unaccompanied tour or a two-year accompanied tour, the decision was easy for us,” she said. “We knew there would be hurdles being one of the first families to arrive, but it would be a unique experience that traditional deployers do not get to share with their families. The culture is something you can’t articulate over Skype; you have to experience it and living on the local economy has given us memories and stories we’ll never forget.” The wing made several changes to the program since its launch in 2011 to improve the level of support offered to families. For example, this location is home to the only Airman and Family Readiness Center in the AFCENT area of responsibility. “Our Airman and Family Readiness Center provides exceptional resources to assist families from the moment they are assigned to the installation, throughout their tour and when they begin to prepare for a move to their next assignment,” said Lt. Col. Eries Mentzer, 379th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron commander. “The center offers relocation assistance, loan locker items to sustain families while household good are shipping, a Key Spouse Program, employment assistance, volunteer opportunities and school liaison services for military children.” As more families arrive, there is one goal they all

News have in common — building a strong partnership with the host nation, and ensuring regional security and stability now and in the future. “Leslie and I didn’t hesitate at the possibility of applying for an accompanied tour here,” said Brig. Gen. Roger H. Watkins, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing commander. “We feel privileged and honored to be here together as we prepare the base to move from an expeditionary to an enduring mission.” His wife agreed that being together and strengthening relationships are the most important aspects of this program. “Being separated from my husband and seeing other families separated from their loved ones due to deployments have been the norm, so I jumped at the chance when Roger asked if I would be willing to join him,” said Leslie Watkins. “I believe in this program because it is all about building bridges and relationships both internal and external.

BULLSEYE

June 7, 2013

By 99th Medical Group

Q. I am a military retiree who recently started a new job. My new employer offers a comprehensive employer sponsored health care plan. As a military retiree, they are familiar with TRICARE, and have offered me an additional $3000 per year to opt out of their plan and use my TRICARE benefit, as well as pay for a TRICARE supplement to cover me and my family’s cost share. This benefit is only offered to TRICARE eligible. Is this a lawful incentive? A. No. Section 1097c of Title 10, USC , section 707 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act, 2007, prohibits employers from offering TRICARE eligible employees, as defined in 10 U.S.C Section 1086, financial or other incentives to use TRICARE over a company’s Group Health Plan. This legislation applies to any employer, including states and local governments, with 20 or more employees and mirrors the same prohibition that currently applies to Medicare. This does not affect your eligibility for TRICARE, it only prohibits your employer from offering you an incentive to take TRICARE over the group health plan.
