The Front Range Airmen Against Drunk Driving has saved nearly 100 lives so far this year. A2D2 can be reached at 552-AADD(2233). Don’t take the risk of drinking and
driving.

“You can’t replace lives,” said Staff Sgt.
Jefrey Davis.
According to Mothers Against Drunk
Driving, a person is injured in a drunk driving crash every two minutes. And the rate
of drunk driving is highest among 21 to 25
year olds.
Davis, 4th Space Operations Squadron and
Front Range Airmen Against Drunk Driving
president, wants to combat this statistic with
education and reminding members of the
resources available through A2D2.
“We provide a safe ride home for any
military member, retiree, Guard, Reserve or
military contractor for Schriever and Peterson
Air Force Bases and Cheyenne Mountain Air
Force Station,” said Davis. “But we also want
to be the last resort.”
He said it’s frustrating to hear about any
driving under the influence cases occurring,
but especially with Airmen.
“I always think to myself we had x amount
of volunteers that night,” Davis said.

History office highlights AFSCN history
By Randy Saunders
50th Space Wing historian
Last fall, the Air Force Satellite Control Network underwent a change
that hadn’t occurred in nearly 18 years — the decommissioning and
removal of a remote tracking station. The Colorado Tracking Station,
call sign PIKE, began its history in the 1980s. Located on Schriever
Air Force Base, Colorado, PIKE sat on a semi-arid mountain plateau
at an altitude of more than 6,100 feet. Until the construction of PIKE,
all remote tracking stations were near coastlines or on islands, making
them vulnerable to jamming. PIKE was also unique in that its communication systems were hard-wired into the control node at Schriever
AFB, providing additional security.
PIKE was built by Ford Aerospace and was the first tracking station
built as an automated remote tracking station. Supporting both polar
and equatorial orbiting satellites, the Colorado Tracking Station played
an important role in AFSCN operations and until 1996, when its operating hours were reduced, was among the busiest sites in the network.
During the next several months, the 50th Space Wing History office
will publish a series of articles to highlight the history of the AFSCN.

WASHINGTON
CSMNG — Often called one of
the “invisible wounds of war,” traumatic
brain injury is the result of a blow or jolt to
the head that disrupts the normal function
of the brain. Anyone can suffer a TBI, it can
CSMNG
happen on the sports field, in your home,
or on the job.
During March, the Military Health System
is focusing its talent and efforts on the issue
of TBI. We will provide tools and resources
to educate service members, their families,
retirees and Defense Department civilians
about the prevention and treatment of TBI,
while highlighting ongoing MHS research
and breakthroughs.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, each year 1.7 million people are diagnosed with a brain injury.
The most common form of TBI, even for the
military, is mild TBI (also referred to as a
concussion) and the vast majority occur at
home. The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury
Center reported that from 2000 to 2014 more
than 313,000 service members were diagnosed with TBI, and most of these were mild.
MHS research has produced several breakthroughs that improve the lives of our patients, beneficiaries, and all Americans who
sustain TBIs. Our work is even taking us
back to college to examine the impact of
TBIs on athletes. The NCAA and the DOD
are currently sponsoring the “Mind Matters
Challenge,” a landmark initiative to enhance
COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

the safety of student-athletes and service
members. The partnership is the most comprehensive study of concussion and head
impact exposure ever conducted.
For TBI patients, TRICARE covers rehabilitative services provided by physicians,
psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists. The DOD offers a variety of products such as clinical recommendations, tool
kits and mobile applications to assist health
care providers in the diagnosis, evaluation
and treatment of patients with mild TBI.
One of the most important steps in TBI
treatment is rest, which allows the brain to
physically and mentally recover, and removes
the risk of suffering another concussion
while the brain is healing. Early diagnosis
of TBI, as well as evaluation and treatment,
can shorten return-to-duty time and lead to
the best possible outcome for those entrusted
to our care.
Along with our partnerships and cuttingedge research, MHS is making great progress
in improving and prolonging the quality of
life for those living with TBI.

ISR nearly sweeps 14 AF awards
By Brian Hagberg
50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Schriever Air Force Base Airmen recently earned three
more awards to add to the installation’s already impressive
total for 2014.
This time, it was members of the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance teams who earned recognition
at 14th Air Force level.
First Lt. Elyse Crimm, 1st Space Operations Squadron,
earned the Major General John S. Patton Outstanding Active
Duty ISR Company Grade Officer of the Year; Master Sgt.
Teri Freeman, 50th Operations Support Squadron, earned
Outstanding Active Duty ISR Senior NCO of the Year; and
Tech. Sgt. Russel Justice, 50 OSS, earned Outstanding Active
Duty ISR NCO of the Year. Freeman also won at the Air
Force Space Command level.
“I think it’s incredible that in the four categories we’re
eligible for, the 50th Space Wing won three awards,” Crimm
said.
Freeman said the near sweep of awards speaks to the
50 SW taking the lead among space wings in integrating
intelligence with operations.
“The first thing I said after learning of the awards was, ‘Man,
we cleaned house,’ which is honestly what we did,” Freeman
said. “I think it just goes to show that we’re leaning forward
when it comes to intel and our position in a space wing.”
Justice found out about his award in a rather unique way.
He was one of the Airmen featured during last month’s
State of the Base address. While wrapping up his profile
of Justice, Col. Bill Liquori, 50 SW commander, made the
announcement.
“Sergeant Justice competed as an ISR Professional of the
Year and was the non-commissioned officer of the year
for the ISR community of the 14th Air Force, and he just
found out right now,” Liquori said to a round of applause.
Justice said the announcement came as a total surprise.
“I had no idea that was going to happen,” Justice said. “It
was already great to be recognized as one of the individuals they brought in to State of the Base, but then on top of
that to find out I had won the award, it was just amazing.”
All three winners agreed that integrating intelligence
analysts into the SOPS, ahead of schedule, played a big part
in earning their respective awards.
“Being one of the two primary leads in that integration effort was a huge contributing factor (in earning the
award),” Justice said. “Schriever is definitely ahead of the
power curve when it comes to space operating in a contested, degraded and operationally limited environment,
and how they’re integrating intel into the space operations
squadron environments.”
Crimm, and her flight of four other analysts, were a part
of the 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron until April
History Quiz
Week of March 19, 2015
Last week’s answer: On March 2, 1973, this NASA space probe carried a gold plaque describing
what we look like, where we are, and the date its mission began designed to signal peace to any
extraterrestrials who might intercept it. That probe was NASA’s Pioneer 10.
This week’s question: On March 8, 1991, the Air Force conducted the first launch of this booster
from the West Coast at Vandenberg Air Force Base’s Space Launch Complex 4E.

2014 when they were merged with 1 SOPS. The merger gave
1 SOPS something it didn’t have previously, intelligence
analysts dedicated to the 1 SOPS mission.
“I think the merger is great and I know my commander
really likes having the analysts,” Crimm said. “We can
provide a lot better support to our operators in there.”
Freeman said she hopes space operators will gain a better understanding of potential adversary threats to space
operations by having intelligence analysts embedded in
the squadrons.
Crimm, Freeman and Justice all said they would not have
been able to earn their respective award without the help
and support of the members of their teams.
“My team is awesome and I have some of the best intel
people I have ever worked with in my 19 years in the Air
Force,” Freeman said. “They amaze me every day.”
Justice said the integration was a total team effort and
he couldn’t have done any of it without the support of both
his team and leadership.
Crimm said the hard work of her flight is what allowed
her to earn her award.
“My flight works very hard to make sure our operators are
aware of threats to their satellites and are constantly trying
to improve the relationship between space operators and
intel,” Crimm said. “It is their hard work and innovation
that allowed me to be recognized for this award.”

SAPR training gets new look for 2015
By Brian Hagberg
50th Space Wing Public Affairs
The term “annual training” won’t necessarily apply to Sexual Assault Prevention and
Response training for 2015. The traditional
once per year training session has been replaced with a system that calls for periodic
training throughout the year.
“SAPR every day is what the Air Force
wants,” said Paula Krause, Schriever sexual
assault response coordinator. “They’re hoping it will keep everybody a little more focused [on prevention].”
The 2015 SAPR training schedule will
include one 90-minute large group session,
and three small group sessions to be done
once per quarter. This quarterly training
requirement will help keep SAPR fresh in
people’s minds.
“I want to give a big ‘A’ to the Air Force
for the training change,” said Cecilia Smith,
sexual assault victim advocate. “They don’t
want it to be just once a year focus on SAPR.
They want a discussion every day so if people
hear about SAPR more, they’ll be more willing to discuss it.”
Krause said SAPR training has evolved
since the first SAPR down day in June 2012.
“They started three years ago with the SAPR
down day, which was the first time they had
done one of those and was driven by some of
the things going on in the Air Force (at that
time),” Krause said. “After that large group
training, they decided they needed to do some
small group training as well.”
The current 90-minute large group sessions, titled “Respect the Red Line,” are
held in the auditorium on the first and third
Tuesday of each month at 2 p.m. and the
second and fourth Thursday of each month at
9 a.m. and are led by either Krause or Smith.
These sessions are scheduled to be available
until the end of September.
“The Air Force felt having the 90-minute
SAPR-led training would have the subject
matter experts giving everybody a solid 90
minutes on the topic,” Krause said. “The purpose (of multiple sessions) was to have the subject matter experts address it first, and then
have the smaller groups address it as well.”
The small group sessions will be facilitated by a member of each individual group,
squadron or unit and can be held at any time.
Only one small group session may be held
per quarter to meet the training requirement.
Any member may be a facilitator for the
small group sessions, though their squadron
commander gives final approval for who may
be a facilitator. The small groups should be
between 10 and 15 people and larger squadrons may have more than one small group
facilitator if necessary.
“The concept is everybody learns in different ways,” Krause said. “They get the overall
picture with the large group, and then within
the small focus groups they can nail down
what they think they need to do within the
unit.”
There are a number of topics available for
squadrons to choose from for the small group
sessions, however, there are two mandatory
training topics, “Male Victimology” and
“How to Talk to a Survivor.” Some of the
optional topic offerings include, “Primary
Prevention,” “Drinking and Consent,”
“Successful Convictions” and “Sustaining
a Culture of Respect.”
Members can decline to attend the SAPR
training if they are uncomfortable with the
topic. Individuals will need to check in with
the SAPR office to be excused. Individuals
do not need to make a report to be excused
from the training. The SAPR office will work
with unit training managers to ensure the
individual is recorded as completing the
training requirement.
For more information, contact the SAPR
office at 567-7634.
Chief’s Corner
Interdependence
By Chief Master Sgt. Joseph Stratil
4th Space Operations Squadron
When I think of teamwork as a military member,
one term stands out to me — interdependence. A
common definition we used for the term interdependence in professional military education is “purposeful reliance” on another entity to accomplish
a mission. It is a key part of teamwork — any team
truly relies on one another to accomplish a mission.
Interdependence has many manifestations at each
level, in a joint setting, as military service and right
here on our base. On Schriever, interdependence
starts at the front gate.
We all rely on our defenders to do their jobs each
and every day. The fact is, they provide a safe and
secure area for us to conduct operations 24/7, no
matter the weather that allows us to do our job
effectively. Think of a day without the protection
our defenders provide, would it be the same? Our
defenders do their jobs so well they provide us something truly valuable — the ability to truly focus
on our part of the mission, free of worry. We are
purposely reliant on our security forces to provide
our security, safety, peace of mind and access to
our work areas. All of these things are critical to
doing our jobs. Another part of our team we can’t
do without are our civil engineer personnel.
Our CE unit provides many services for us, but
one thing especially that we all use — power. Despite
the talent of our Airmen, we cannot do our mission
without the power provided by CE. Think about
it, what happens when you lose power at home —
not much of anything, right? We are dependent
on our CE personnel, not just for power, but also
things like plowing our roads in bad weather and
the constant upgrade of our facilities. Many of the
things CE provides are often take for granted, until
they are gone. The truth is we rely on these services
to be there every day, 24/7 and our CE folks do an
amazing job of making that a reality. The nature
of our military also relies on communication and
timing, which is just one area our operations group
comes into play.
The operations group mission extends far beyond
just flying satellites. Our satellites provide more than
we realize as an average citizen. Anyone who does
electronic banking, relies on secure communication,
or likes to use their GPS to find directions are just a
couple areas where we are reliant on what our ops
group does in our daily lives. We are reliant on the
communication and also navigation and timing that
our ops group provides. Our air operations centers
also rely on effects our satellites provide — and this
capability clearly gives us an advantage in warfare.
Speaking of advantages, think of a day without our
computers or networks….
Our network operations group is another great
example of interdependence. Our space communications squadron gives us computer and network
access, and they do it with tremendous skill to keep
hackers and bad actors at bay. Our satellite operators
rely on the Air Force Satellite Control Network to
command satellites around the world, making them
indispensable. Think about the amount of tasks
you do on your computer each day that require the
network. This doesn’t happen without our folks in
SCHRIEVER AFB
STOP
CRIME
NOW
the network ops group. Although seemingly behind the scenes, we all know what happens when
we don’t have computers or good communication
— not much.
Finally, when I think of interdependence I think
of our services, personnel and finance professionals
in the mission support group and wing staff. We
rely on them for some of our most important career
events and everyday life in general. Our services
team performs an outstanding job taking care of
our families and providing us with critical services.
Our personnel folks ensure we get people arriving
or departing Schriever on assignments to name just
one thing. Without our finance folks, we don’t get
paid — and let’s face it, everybody wants to get paid.
We also don’t get our operating budget without the
budget folks who work long and hard to ensure we
have the funds to continue to operate. If that isn’t
a source we all rely upon, I don’t know what is.
So thanks to our defenders for providing us safety,
peace of mind and access to our areas. I thank CE
for the power needed to operate nearly everything
we use, and the computer access the network operations group gave me to type this article. I thank the
operations group for the timing they provide so that
I can use my ATM card to withdraw money on the
way home that was provided by our finance folks.
And I thank our mission support group services
and personnel folks for the great assignment to this
base and the many services we and our families
enjoy. I am thankful for interdependence — the
purposeful reliance on my teammates right here
at Schriever Air Force Base.

SSMEE visits HULA
50th Space Wing Public Affairs
The 21st Space Operations Squadron Detachment 3,
HULA, hosted Space Subject Matter Expert Exchange participants as part of an event Feb. 15-21 at Waianae, Hawaii.
The SSMEE objective is tied to U.S. Southern Command
Theater Campaign Plan intermediate military objectives
and Air Forces Southern Country Engagement Plan objectives of assuring access to space as a global common,
and the U.S. being the preferred partner in capacity
development.
“U.S. Southern Command sponsored subject matter expert exchange between Colombian air force space experts
and Air Forces Southern, Air Force Space Command, Pacific
Fleet, University of Hawaii and RocketDyne experts regarding small and nano satellite development and launch,” said.
Lt. Col. Trae York, 12th Air Force director of space forces.
The objective of the event was to expose the Colombian
air force space officers to small satellite development and
launch processes, from concept, acquisition, program management, satellite design, to safety checks for the satellite
and rocket, to safe launch, and all of the inherent capacity and processes required to develop and launch a small
satellite, York said.
“The exposure will help the Colombian air force to understand the full scope of the effort required in order to meet
their stated space goals of having the capacity to develop
and launch small satellites,” he said.
The Chief of Staff of the Colombian air force hand selected two capitanes from his staff, Capt. Fabio Sandoval, a
program management expert, and Capt. Andrea Correchea,
a radar expert. Both are saddled with assisting the space
staff in developing a concept to meet the strategic goals of
developing and launching a small satellite by 2020.
This subject matter expert exchange enabled them to get
an understanding of the capabilities and capacity required
to meet these goals. The experts they met with hailed
from the University of Hawaii’s Space Flight Laboratory,
RocketDyne, Operationally Responsive Space Office, 21

SOPS Det 3 and the Pacific Missile Range Facility.
The reason Colombia desires small satellite launch capability and capacity is because space enabled capabilities can
be integrated into civil and military planning and operations
to better enable those operations, York said. This is across
multiple disciplines including humanitarian disaster and
disaster relief, counter-narcotics, Earth monitoring for deforestation or illegal mining, tele-medicine, tele-education
and others. Prestige and economic benefits for Colombia
are factors as well.

History
From page 2
gunpowder rockets were an important element of their
military arsenal. According to legend, a minor Chinese
official named Wan Hu even attempted, sometime during
the 16th century, to launch himself to the moon using 47
rockets strapped to his chair. Centuries passed before humans developed the technologies to take the first real steps
toward reaching space. By the early 20th century, pioneers
such as Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Hermann Oberth, Wernher
von Braun and Robert Goddard had advanced the science
of rocketry to new summits. Von Braun’s rocketry work
led to development of the German V 2 rocket, considered
the foundation for today’s modern rockets. World War II
brought not only rockets, but jet engines, radar and many
other technological advances to the world. Tying those
developing technologies together to foster exploration and
exploitation of space would become the life’s work of many
more scientists and engineers. Following World War II, the
United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a “space
race” to develop rockets capable of carrying artificial satellites into Earth orbit. The development of those rockets
was also essential to the on-going work in both nations to
develop missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons at
intercontinental ranges.
In the mid-1950s, the U.S. Air Force activated the Western
Development Division. President Dwight Eisenhower announced the first U.S. scientific satellite program and WDD
secretly initiated Weapons System 117L, the first Air Force
satellite program. In 1956, the U.S. government awarded
Lockheed Missiles and Space Company a contract for development of the country’s first reconnaissance satellite,
which eventually carried the top secret name “Corona.”
On Oct. 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, the
world’s first artificial satellite. The Soviets followed one
month later with the launch of Sputnik II, which carried a
dog named Laika (Barker), the first living creature placed
into Earth orbit. The United States launched its first satellite, Explorer 1, in February 1958, followed by Vanguard
1 on March 1, 1958.
Corona, which first operated under the “Discoverer”
scientific cover, originally was planned for launch from
Cape Canaveral, Florida, and would be supported by
satellite tracking facilities around the world. Some
of those stations were already in place on Pacific islands to support missile tests. By 1958, the Air Force
Ballistic Missile Division (renamed from the Western
Development Division) determined that additional tracking stations were required and added Vandenberg Air
Force Base and Point Mugu, California; Ka’ena Point,
Hawaii; and Kodiak, Alaska, to the network. The launch
site for Discoverer/Corona was also changed from Cape
Canaveral to Vandenberg AFB. Discoverer I launched
Feb. 28, 1959, and served as a test platform for guidance
and booster systems. It transmitted telemetry intermittently until it de-orbited March 17, 1959.
The Air Force quickly realized it needed an organization dedicated to on-orbit commanding and controlling
of satellites. On April 6, 1959, the 6594th Test Wing activated at Lockheed’s facility in Palo Alto, California, and
the Air Force Satellite Control Network was born. At its
activation, the 6594th included three operating locations
— Edwards Air Force Base, California; Chiniak, Alaska;
and Annette Island, Alaska. Later in the year, stations at
Vandenberg AFB, California; Ka’ena Point, Hawaii; and
New Boston, New Hampshire, joined the wing. In March
1960, the wing moved to Sunnyvale, California, and in June
of that year, the installation, designated Air Force Satellite
Control Center, opened. Later, the installation would be
redesignated Onizuka Air Force Station. The wing was
redesignated 6594th Aerospace Test Wing in 1961 and
reassigned to the newly created Space Systems Division.
While the United States advanced its development of
intercontinental ballistic missiles, it also continued work
on its satellite programs, especially the Corona reconnaissance satellite. On Aug. 19, 1960, a specially equipped C-119
aircraft and its crew conducted the first aerial recovery of a
film canister ejected from a Corona satellite — Discoverer
XIV. That satellite had acquired 3,000 feet of imagery covering more than 1.65 million square miles of Soviet territory.
While the Discoverer program ended in 1962 after 38 satellite launches, the Corona program continued operations
in secrecy for another 10 years.
Meanwhile, expansion and modernization of the satellite tracking stations continued as the United States. began
developing communications and weather satellite systems.
By the end of 1961, the network consisted of the main node
at Sunnyvale and tracking stations at Vandenberg, Kodiak
Island, Ka’ena Point, New Boston, Thule, Annette Island,
Fort Greely, and by 1962, on the Seychelles island of Mahe
in the Indian Ocean. By June 1962, the network was able
to support multiple satellite operations. Network operators
supported as many as 10 programs, including their primary
mission, Corona.
The AFSCN gained responsibility for all ICBM and space
tracking activities in 1963, and its organization and operations continued to expand. Recognizing the need for a new
organizational construct to meet the growing requirements
of the network, the Air Force established the Air Force
Satellite Control Facility as an organization in June 1965
and named Col. Walter H. Hedrick Jr. as its commander.
The AFSCF operated remote tracking stations around the
world and conducted satellite telemetry, tracking, and commanding tasks now performed by the 50th Space Wing’s
space operations squadrons.
The Guam Tracking Station opened in September 1965
as the first mobile facility, though permanent structures
were soon constructed. The Los Angeles-based AFSCF
was comprised of a support squadron and detachment at
Sunnyvale, the tracking stations, and the 6594th Recovery
Control Group, which was charged with the primary task of
recovering Corona satellite payloads. The group also conducted rescue missions in the Pacific and supported NASA’s
Apollo space launches. The 6594th Recovery Control Group
inactivated in 1986 after recovering tens of thousands of
film canisters ejected from once-classified satellites, such
as Corona, Hexagon and Gambit.
The next article will cover expansion of the network and
technological advances in 1970s and 1980s.

driving while impaired or under the influence.
“It’s a free ride home, no questions asked, versus
upwards of approximately $15,000 in legal fees, not to
mention the career implications and risk of loss of life,”
French said.
She said Airmen have friends, supervisors, first sergeants and commanders immediately available to assist
getting their personnel home safe.
“I hope the people who do use A2D2 encourage others
to use them as well,” she added. “It’s just not worth the
consequences to drink and drive.”
A2D2 is available anytime from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.
Fridays and Saturdays. During holiday weekends, their
hours are extended.
“We want people to know we’re here,” he said. “We’re
here if you need a ride or if you would like to volunteer
your time and effort to make a difference.”
Davis, who has been the president since last December,
said he enjoys being able to help others through the
program.
“So far this year, we estimated nearly 100 lives saved,”
said Davis.
The volunteer program averages four calls every weekend but on some weekends, they get at most 15 calls.
“As a supervisor, I tell my Airmen to call me anytime
they need a ride,” he said.
As someone who has been personally affected by alcohol impaired driving, he understands what a life changer
a DUI can be.
“It inspires me and frustrates me to be a part of A2D2,”
he said. “I’d rather people had made a plan before drinking but I also rather them not endanger anyone’s life,
including their own.”
He wants everyone to know the organization is not
against drinking; they’re anti-drinking and driving.
Anyone interested in volunteering should contact their
unit representatives or just show up to the Eclipse Café
for a safety briefing at Peterson Air Force Base at 10 p.m.
on a night the service is available.
For more information on A2D2, or how to volunteer,

Schriever celebrates Dental Assistant Recognition Week
21st Medical Squadron
Dental Assistant Recognition Week is held
the first week in March every year. Dental
assistants are a key part of the dental practice year-round, but they get a special week
dedicated to them each year for all the great
work they do. Dentists in the United States
and Canada have this week-long opportunity
to celebrate and honor their dental assistants
for the variety of duties they perform, and for
the quality dental care they enable.
According to the dental assistant career
field education and training plan, dental
assistants “assist the dentist in the delivery
of dental health care; select and arrange
instruments, materials and medicaments
for use. Retract tissues and maintain a clear
operating field. Perform oral prophylaxis;
instruct patients in dental health maintenance. Expose and process dental radiographs/images. Clean, sterilize dental instruments. Perform dental administrative
duties, coordinate patient appointments and
maintain dental health records, filing systems
and publications.”
This definition, although thorough with
regards to the daily tasks performed by a
dental assistant, fails to capture what can
arguably be the most important aspect of being a dental assistant — having compassion.
Senior Airman Janee Tamayo, a Schriever
clinic dental assistant, had the following answer when asked why she loves being a dental
assistant:
“If there’s one thing I hear on an almost
daily basis it’s: ‘I’m not a huge fan of being
in the dental clinic,’” she said. “Many of our
patients deal with anxiety when visiting the
dental clinic; this is where the most challenging, and gratifying, facet of being a dental
assistant comes into play. It takes compassion, competence and consistency to make

a patient’s dental experience as comfortable
as possible.”
So when someone asks Tamayo what her
job entails, she does not respond with the
“textbook answer” because that’s not the
most important part of what she does.
“My job is to make you smile, and keep
you smiling, and that’s why I love being a
dental assistant,” she said.
Schriever Air Force Base thanks Tamayo,
Tech. Sgt. Grace Yarlett, Tech. Sgt. Derek
Ware, Staff Sgt. Ryan Tano, Senior Airman
Megan Luscier and Airman Matthew Thomas
for their service and compassion as Air Force
dental assistants.

Space planning essential to battle success
By Staff Sgt. Shawn Nickel
7th Air Force Public Affairs
OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — “Space, the final
frontier,” can mean a lot to people in different careers, but
is the vast blackness filled with mesmerizing intergalacticlights important to today’s warfighter?
According to Capt. Jamil Brown, the 607th Air Operations
Center chief of space plans, space is a newer concept to
warfighting. His team worked to integrate the concept into
exercise Key Resolve 15.
“As chief of space plans, I’m in charge of integrating space
into the air tasking order cycle, making sure the plan that’s
put together has both the space support it needs and also
the estimated space effects to make sure the mission goes
along as planned,” Brown said.
During the past few exercises, integrating space effects
into KR scenarios has been an evolutionary process.
“One of the nice things about working with our (South)
Korean counterparts is we’re beginning to not only educate
everyone here (on) what space has to contribute, but we’re
also integrating it into the plans, so space is as essential and
integral as everything else,” he said.
During the exercise process, Brown found planners’ interest in space had increased as they sought to understand how
space effects fit into their planning and maneuvers.
“It’s great they have that thirst, but now we’re catching up
to that to (make) sure we can satisfy that interest in space
knowledge,” Brown said. “That’s a challenge I’m pleased to
have to overcome.”
Army Capt. Otis Ingram, 3rd Battlefield Coordination
Detachment space coordination officer, said space technology
isn’t just applicable to flying and air combat; it’s essential to
troops on the ground.
“Although solar flares and space dust aren’t directly related
to what troops on the ground are doing, it directly affects
elements of warfare such as GPS and satellite communication,” Brown said.
According to Brown, generating and implementing knowledge of space effects is sure to help KR run smoother, but
more importantly, it also plays a role in future combat and
humanitarian operations around the world.
“Space has been around for a while, but in regards to
integrating it into the overall theater of operations, we will
continue to improve and develop to better assist our counterparts and warfighters around the world,” Brown said.
AF announces 23 AFSCs on reenlistment bonus list
Air Force Personnel Center
Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Enlisted Airmen in
23 Air Force specialty codes may be eligible to
receive a selective reenlistment bonus effective March 12, Air Force officials announced.
The Air Force is moving forward with a
higher end-strength, so AFSCs eligible for
the SRB program will increase to address
retention of experienced Airmen in some key
mission areas such as maintenance, signals
intelligence and mental health.
“All of these career fields are challenged to
retain experienced mid-level Airmen,” said
Col. Arch Bruns, the director of AFPC personnel services. “The (fiscal 2015) SRB program will offer bonus incentives to Airmen
in critical and emerging career fields with
high operations demands and low manning
that still require attention, such as battlefield
Airmen, cyberspace specialties and specific
maintenance career fields. These incen-
tives will also help the Air Force retain key
maintenance experience while we work F-35
maintenance manning options.”
The identified career fields have been at or
below required sustainment levels for some
time, so they were exempt from all fiscal
2014 voluntary and most involuntary force
management programs (except the Quality
Force Review Board).
“SRBs are judiciously and effectively
targeted to provide the most return-oninvestment in both dollars and capability,”
the colonel said. “This allows the Air Force
to retain Airmen who are critical to current
and emerging mission requirements.”
The Air Force will continue to offer SRBs
to the 10 critical career fields from the fiscal
2014 program and has added an additional
13 AFSCs to the fiscal 2015 program.
As follows is the complete FY15 SRB list;
13 added AFSCs asterisked:

How to: The Airman Comprehensive Assessment
By Staff Sgt. Jette Carr
Air Force News Service
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Maryland — It has been
nearly half a year since the release and implementation of the
new Airman Comprehensive Assessment, a comprehensive
worksheet that aids in creating feedback between a supervisor/rater and their ratee.
The following is a break-down of the major sections reflected on the form:
Section III. Self Assessment
The new ACA is hardly a one-sided assessment, to be filled
out single-handedly by supervisors. For the first time, Airmen
will be given a section to evaluate their own performances
prior to meeting with their supervisors or raters.
“The change is to help supervisors/raters understand how
their Airmen believe they are performing,” said Will Brown,
the Air Force Evaluation and Recognition Programs Branch
chief. “The supervisor/rater takes that input and provides a
more in-depth assessment on how an Airman can improve his
or her performance. This also helps the first-line supervisor
tailor the session to an Airman’s specific needs.”
Within the self-assessment portion of the ACA is a list
of 17 reflection points, categorized under the subheads of
responsibility, accountability, Air Force culture and self. Each
section contains specific statements of understanding, such
as “Understands the importance of leading by example.”
To the right of each reflection point, Airmen are given the
opportunity to signal either their understanding, or their
need for more information. This section specifically reflects
an Airman’s belief of their own knowledge base, and does
not take into account whether or not the supervisor agrees
with the answers.
“The ACA is not based on whether or not the supervisor
concurs with the Airman’s assessment,” Brown said. “The
focus and purpose of the ACA is to communicate to the
Airmen what is expected, provide them with additional
information where needed, and to point them in the right
direction for a successful Air Force career.”
Section VI. Performance: Leadership,
Primary Duties, Training
Section VI should seem a bit more familiar to the rater,
because it focuses on evaluating an Airman’s performance.
The old feedback method was writing bullets detailing the
supervisor’s personal expectations for their Airmen, while
the updated form has a list of standardized expectations to
ensure each Airman has a clear understanding of what’s
anticipated of them.
“This area reflects the specific areas identified regarding
performance,” Brown said. “The section includes primary
duty factors and general military factors. Primary duty factors
are generally based on what occurs in the work environment
and general military factors are those characteristics that are
considered essential to military order, image and tradition.
“Each block should be used to advise the Airman how he
or she is currently performing assigned duties, and provide
expectations from the rater to the ratee on what performance
areas need improvement,” he added.
According to the Air Force Form 931, Air Force Instruction
36-2618, “The Enlisted Force Structure,” should be utilized
by the rater as the “standard of expected performance commensurate with the Airman’s rank.” The AFI provides descriptions of the duties and responsibilities of each Air Force
rank, which can be used to decide the degree to which the
Airman being evaluated complies with the performance
expectations listed.
Each topic being rated is listed under a general subhead,
such as innovative/motivation, skill level upgrade training,
and resource utilization, which is then followed by a brief
description of the topic for clarity. The four boxes to the
right of each topic represent the grading scale. Each box falls
into a category of few, majority, some and very few Airmen
— the number of how many Airmen are expected to be
performing at the level listed.
“That information was included to indicate to supervisors where the majority of Airmen should be, and that it is
OK — expected — to be completely honest,” Brown said.
“Not every Airman will exceed all the expectations set for
him or her. Indicating where the majority of Airmen would
be in their performance should improve communication
between the supervisor and the Airman.”
Section IX. Knowing Your Airman
The final section, “Knowing your Airman,” promotes
discussion between the Airman and their supervisor/rater.
A list of six questions, ranging from inquiries about the
Airman’s goals for self-improvement to what stresses them
out, is provided for the supervisor to ask their subordinate.
“The questions are a jumping-off point to assist in opening
the communication between the Airman and the supervisor,”
Brown said. “(Section IX) was designed ... so both may reach
better understanding of the Airman’s goals and other areas
to put the Airman on a successful career path.”
During this discussion, there is no right or wrong answer
to each question, Brown said.
Also there’s a part of section IX where the supervisor/rater
is asked to list expectations for the unit and ratee. Similar
to the older feedback form, this segment can be used to let
Airmen know what their strengths and weaknesses are and
how to improve on future endeavors.
“When an ACA is completed, the Airman should know how
their supervisor expects them to perform, and should have a
better understanding of their responsibility, accountability,
Air Force culture and themselves,” Brown said. “Following
a session, Airmen will also know in what areas they need to
improve. In addition, supervisors should have a better understanding of their Airmen’s goals (personal and professional),
how they can help their Airmen reach those goals, and what
they can do to assist their Airmen achieve other career goals.”
