AF announces changes to Courses 14 and 15

By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs WASHINGTON (AFNS)

Effective immediately, Air Force officials have removed the requirement to complete Courses 14 and 15 for all Airmen serving in the active component.

Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Airmen will have the option to complete their enlisted professional military education through distance learning or in-residence attendance.

Airmen will no longer be required to complete distance learning prior to in-residence attendance at the noncommissioned officer and senior NCO academy. Active component Airmen will complete EPME in-residence, while Guard and Reserve Airmen can complete through DL or in-residence.

“Ultimately, Airmen are always encouraged to focus on their own self-improvement and life-long learning,” said Lt. Gen. Gina Grosso, deputy chief of staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services. “However, because our enlisted

members have a 100 percent opportunity to attend in-residence NCO and SNCOA, this change provides Airmen greater flexibility and reduces redundancy in professional military education.”

All active component Airmen currently enrolled in Courses 14 or 15 may continue the course or disenroll. Guard and Reserve Airmen currently enrolled are encouraged to complete the course unless they are currently scheduled to attend in-residence.

“We want to ensure each level of EPME is meaningful to our Airmen and works to further develop them as professionals, warfighters and leaders,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright. “As we work to evolve our EPME, we have to remain flexible, ensuring we have content and delivery models that work for everyone.”

The decision was based on feedback from the 2017 Enlisted Professional Military Education Triennial Review Committee, EPME working groups, and EPME students and instructors.

The 2018 National Defense Strategy calls on all services to evolve their PME, emphasizing intellectual leadership and military professionalism in the art and science of warfighting, deepening our knowledge of history while embracing new technology and techniques to counter competitors.

“We are working with our teammates at Air Education and Training Command and Air University to enhance our EPME and ensure it meets the intent of our most senior leaders,” Wright said. “We need to ensure that our EPME can evolve over time as technology changes, so to that end we’re working to ensure our content and delivery evolves, too.”

If Airmen choose to remain enrolled and complete the course, completion will be reflected in their personnel records along with the appropriate Community College of the Air Force credits awarded.

Additionally, the enlisted promotion policy remains the same and is not affected by this revision.

Annual Green Dot Training for Joint Base Langley-Eustis kicked off at various locations across base this past March.

Green Dot is a bystander intervention program, which aims at doing small things to eventually change culture and reduce the numbers of self-directed violence and interpersonal violence, such as sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking.

“Every person matters and every person counts, not just the people in the agencies doing intervention and prevention work,” said Pamela Adams, 633rd Air Base Wing violence prevention integrator. “One thing that I really like about the Green Dot program is that it gives people options because not everyone is assertive enough to be direct and approach someone and say ‘hey that’s not appropriate, cut that out, what are you doing?’”

This year’s training will run until December, and is open to all active duty U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and Reserve Airmen, as well as government and non-appropriated funds employees.

Training is not required for contractors, unless it is written in their statement of work.

During the course of the training period, both initial and refresher classes are being offered. Refresher classes, which are one hour long, are for anyone who has had Green Dot training in 2016 or 2017. For people who have never had training, the hour and a half long initial classes are available.

Adams advises members to get their annual training sooner than later and take advantage of available seats as extra classes will not be offered to supplement

procrastinators.

“Violence prevention is a readiness issue—many do not view it as such, but incidents of interpersonal violence and suicide are the things that worry leadership, consume time and energy, and impact many aspects of victims’ and offenders’ lives, and those connected to them,” said Adams. “It can also potentially affect the unit in terms of morale, cohesion, and trust in relationships with fellow co-workers and leadership. When we focus on proactive prevention, we don’t have to always be in react-respond mode, scrambling to help with each incident. We want to prevent these incidents from happening in the first place, so that we can all keep our focus on the mission at hand.”

Adams also encourages members to actively utilize their training to assist those who may be experiencing interpersonal and self-directed violence.

“I want people to know that you are the one person that could make a difference. You may not feel like you’re in a situation or in a place where you’re like ‘I’m going to stop this sexual assault; I’m going to stop this domestic incident from happening,’ but with every small gesture...those are the things that make a difference,” said Adams. “What I don’t want is this to be a one and done—I’ve done my annual training for the year and I never have to think about Green Dot again because someone else at any point is depending on what you learned in class. It could be any of us at any time, so that’s the legacy that I want to leave for all of us on this base as we go about our everyday lives.”

Blurred Vision: A Soldier’s lonely battle with cancer

By Airman 1st Class Monica Roybal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

In the midst of dealing with the daily stress of Fort Lee’s Advanced Individual Training program, Wilmarys Roman Rivera was ushered off for a medical consultation after noticing a lump in her breast.

Alone in Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Virginia, Roman Rivera sat in a doctor’s ofďŹ ce wrangling thoughts of fear and skepticism; this happens to other people, not her.

The words uttered from her doctor, “I’m sorry, but you have breast cancer,â€? yanked Roman Rivera from reality, plunging her into a numbing haze of disbelief. “After I heard those words all sounds were suddenly mufed and all colors became desaturated,â€? Roman Rivera said. “The air was sucked out of me so abruptly that I couldn’t fully comprehend what I was hearing.â€?

Your Local

The 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) tactical power generation specialist, knew she needed a way to express what she could not say aloud. In doing so, she discovered photography could help her display the inner turmoil she suffered throughout her battle with breast cancer.

Despite taking a hit with the devastating diagnosis one month before AIT graduation, Roman Rivera said she was determined to complete the program. “I had to overcome many obstacles before I was ďŹ nally accepted into the Army and I didn’t want to just walk away after all my hard work,â€? said Roman Rivera. “I think getting diagnosed during basic training and AIT actually helped me because I was so busy and distracted that I didn’t have time to really think about having breast cancer.â€?

Roman Rivera’s hard work paid off, and she completed the program. But, instead of attending her AIT graduation ceremony with her fellow Soldiers, she

underwent a double mastectomy surgery with her parents and her best friend, who ew from Puerto Rico, by her side. “I was ďŹ ghting more for my family than for me,â€? said Roman Rivera, “My parents would ask me how I felt and my answer was always, ‘good’ because I couldn’t handle hearing the sadness in my mom’s voice.â€?

After recovering from surgery, Roman Rivera began bi-weekly chemotherapy sessions that continued for more than two months. Since she was alone and away from home, her parents ew in from Puerto Rico for every session to care for and support their daughter. “I started to become frustrated with not knowing how to talk about the pain I was dealing with and being so dependent on my parents for every little thing,â€? said Roman Rivera. “I needed to ďŹ nd a way to express my feelings because I wasn’t in any support group, but I needed to ďŹ nd a way to let it all go.â€?

Having already established a career teaching university-level photography classes in Puerto Rico, Roman Rivera turned to what she knew best and picked up her camera. Yet, new unforeseen obstacles came her way while taking photos this time. “I remember crying as I was taking photos,� said Roman Rivera. “I was so angry that the chemotherapy blurred my vision so much that I couldn’t tell if my photos were in focus, but then I realized that’s showing what I’m actually seeing. That’s telling my story.�

Roman Rivera continued to document her story with blurred vision for more than three months and remained dedicated to her newfound project. “Constantly thinking about what I wanted to create and what feeling I wanted to express kept me busy,� said Roman Rivera. “Taking multiple photos and ed-

iting was distracting me from what was happening to me at the time.�

Concentrating on how to tell her story shifted her focus from surgery, recovery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, which Roman Rivera described as the worst pain she has ever experienced. “The pain I felt while recovering from the double mastectomy surgery kind of prepared me for the chemo and radiation,� said Roman Rivera. “I knew if I could handle that recovery pain then I could get through the rest.�

Although her parents were there every two weeks to take care of her, Roman Rivera said she hid her true struggle from her parents, especially when her mother began to question God and her personal religious beliefs. It was an emotionally lonely ďŹ ght for Roman Rivera. “Even though I was lying to my parents, I felt like it was the right thing to do,â€? said Roman Rivera. “I think it was also right for my art. Keeping it all inside forced me to dig deeper into my feelings.

Roman Rivera said she openly shares her story and her photos to convey the reality of battling cancer and hopes to encourage women to regularly perform selfexaminations.

In April 2018, Roman Rivera celebrates three years of being cancer-free. She said she can now look at the photos with a sense of happiness and accomplishment. “I was surprised at how the photos changed my perspective of myself,� said Roman Rivera. “My art let me, let it all go.

I didn’t want to talk to anyone, but I still wanted to show everyone.�

In his demonstrations, U.S. Air Force Maj. Paul “Loco” Lopez, F-22 Raptor Demo Team commander and pilot, shows spectators the fth-generation multirole ghter’s thrust vectoring, supercruise, stealth, maneuverability and weapons load features through precision aerial maneuvers.

“Aside from showcasing the fth-generation aircraft, we are also here to show the Chilean Air Force that we

Yamil Reyes Sanchez, F-22 Ra Raptor Demo Team chief. “Having the ability to speak Spa Spanish gave me the chance to truly interact with Chilean civilians and military alike, and they were all very welcoming and friendly.”

Accompanying the demo team was a multitude of U.S. aircraft, as well as the U.S. Air Force Academy Wings of Blue parachute team. Airmen assigned to each aircraft helped to educate the Chilean people of the importance of each aircraft’s mission capabilities and day-to-day operations.

“It just goes to show how well Airmen work as a team, regardless what base or part of the country we come from,” said Sanchez. “No matter where we are, we dis-

TRADOC celebrates the Army Reserve’s 110th birthday

By Michael Vernon Voss

U.S. ARMY TRAINING AND DOCTRINE COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS FORT EUSTIS, VA.

The men and women of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command celebrated the Army Reserve’s 110th birthday with a ceremony at Fort Eustis, April 20.

The small ceremony, officiated by Sgt. Maj. Nagee Lunde, TRADOC U.S. Army Reserve sergeant major, paid honor to the Army Reserve, which as an Army component and forceproviding command, accounts for 20 percent of the U.S. Army’s organized units.

Created by Congress in 1908 as the Medical Reserve Corps, the 160 doctors and nurses who comprised what became the Army Reserve provided a peacetime pool of trained Reserve of-

ficers and enlisted men for use by the active force as needed. By World War I, more than 160,000 Reserve Soldiers mobilized to help the U.S. defeat Germany and the central powers.

“Today, we honor the legacy and service of our Army Reserve,” said Maj. Gen. Paul Benenati, guest speaker for the ceremony and TRADOC deputy chief of staff. “Since World War I, the Army Reserve has participated in every major conflict where our Army has been involved. The Soldiers of the Army Reserve continue to play a major role in the success of the active force.”

In the current force, the Army Reserve comprises nearly 20 percent of the Army’s organized units, almost half of its total maneuver support and a quarter of its mobilization base expansion

U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul M. Benenati, Training and Doctrine Command deputy chief of staff, and U.S. Army Private Jason Delgado, Delta Company, 222nd Aviation Regiment, 1st Aviation Battalion, 128th Aviation Brigade, prepare to cut a cake at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, April 20, 2018. In keeping with Army tradition, the youngest enlisted member at the celebration helped Benenati cut the cake.

capacity.

“The Army Reserve support the U.S. military dominance across every spectrum,” Benenati said. “The full-and parttime reservists who make up the Army Reserve work together throughout the year with their active-duty counterparts; they train on the same equipment and systems as the active force.”

From humble beginnings

more than 100 years ago, the Army Reserve today has an authorized end-strength of 199,000 Soldiers — more than 11,000 civilians, and 2,075 units operating in every state, five U.S. territories and 30 countries. Army Reserve Soldiers maintain their level of Mission Essential Task List proficiency, conduct collective training readiness drills and exercises, receive college tuition

benefits and retirement, and participate in the TRICARE system.

“Having served in the Army Reserve, I can tell you our nation could not go to war and succeed without the critical capabilities resident in the Army Reserve,” Benenati said. “The Joint Force requires the total integration and support of the warrior citizens in the Army Reserve. Happy birthday!”
