Tyndall Air Force Base — HOME OF THE CHECKERTAILS
Vol. 8, No. 2
The network has found a new home

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE
— To move hundreds of
thousands of dollars’ worth
of equipment and personnel
is no easy feat, but the 325th
Communication Squadron
has done just that in a Network Control Center relocation project.
During the past several
years, the 325th CS has
been planning and recently
executing a $2.5 million relocation of the NCC from
Building 748 to Building 817.
This center is the main hub
for Tyndall’s access to the
internet and network systems allowing day to day
operations.
“The NCC consists of
Network Operations, who
perform server maintenance; the Infrastructure
shop, who covers cables,
switches and the transport
layer of the network; and the
Client Systems Technicians,
who actually go out and
work on computers,” said
Michael Jones, 325th CS
network operations chief.
Along with moving the
equipment, upgrades to
the network and infrastructure were also installed to

enhance network reliability.
The building, which
housed the NCC equipment,
was built during World War
II. The building has since
deteriorated and weathered, becoming unservice-
able. It has been scheduled
for demolition by the 325th
Civil Engineer Squadron.
The planning and remodeling of the new location was the longest part of
the relocation.
“First, we had to remodel the building to get it
up to speed and capable of
housing the equipment,”
Jones said. “This included
putting in new subfloors,
air conditioning, generators
and uninterruptible power
supplies.”
After the construction
was complete, a contract
was awarded to relocate
the equipment with as little
impact to the base populace
as possible. With a projected
completion date in mid-February, the only remaining
equipment to move is application-type servers, like
IPTV, Jones said.
“The moves are scheduled to happen at the most
convenient down times, like
weekends or late nights,”
said 1st Lt. Terel Hayes,
325th CS deputy flight commander. “We hope for minimal impact to the base. If
you didn’t notice the move a
few weeks ago, you probably
won’t notice anything.”
Over the years, airmen
working in the old building
have had to deal with hardships that will no longer cut
into work productivity, creating a more efficient work
flow.
“I am extremely proud of
the men and women of the
325th CS,” said Daniel Moran, 325th CS deputy director. “They have worked long
and hard maintaining critical network services in the
old facility. This move has
been a long time coming.
The team has done great
work moving into the new
location while trying to minimize network downtime. In
the long run, the move will
enable the CS team to provide more reliable network
services to all of Tyndall.”

NSWC PCD make breakthrough in heated undergarment technology
By John P. Klose
Naval Surface Warfare Center
Panama City Division
PANAMA CITY — Naval Surface
Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) researchers have demonstrated a breakthrough diver thermal protection technology that can warm
divers indefinitely in very cold
water using four to six times less
power than previously designed
systems.
The Office of Naval Research
(ONR) funded research primarily
conducted at NSWC PCD in Panama City this past year, identified
the safe and highly-efficient, electrically-heated, diver thermal undergarments using Carbon Nano
Core fibers, or CNC, are effective.
The next step is to transition this
technology into both dry and wet
cold environment applications and
develop mission-specific prototype
garments for further testing.
The technology was developed
through a collaborative ONR
“Swampworks” research effort
between NSWC PCD, the University of Montana’s Center for Work
Physiology and Exercise Metabolism (WPEM), and defense
contractors SAIC and the Coliant
Corporation.
The U.S. Navy in Panama City
has been investigating diver thermal protection technologies since
the SEALAB experiments in the
1960s. Since salt water freezes at a
lower temperature than fresh water, ocean temperatures in winter
can reach as low as 29 degrees, creating a very challenging environment in which Navy divers must
operate. Cold skin temperatures
lead to a loss of muscle strength
and the ability to manipulate tools.
Continued exposure to cold water
can lead to the loss of core body
temperature, called hypothermia,
which can cause death in extreme
situations. Navy divers are consistently challenged when working in
cold water whether the mission is
neutralizing mines, changing out
the propeller of a ship or riding in
a SEAL Delivery Vehicle.
“We are very excited about the
initial results of our investigation,”
said NSWC PCD Project Engineer John Klose. “Coliant’s CNC

fibers have the right combination
of physical, thermal and electrical
properties that allow us to build an
electrically-heated undergarment
that would not be possible using
traditional technologies. The biggest risk from previous designs of
electrically-heated diver thermal
protection suits has been the potential for hot spots within the suit
that could burn the diver. These
new fibers use less power and
generate heat at a lower overall
temperature than traditional technologies. This allows us to design
a diver-heated undergarment that
is much safer and much more energy-efficient than previous diver
heating system designs.”
“We are seeing no change in
the metabolic rate of test subjects
dressed in the heated undergarment and dry diving suit ensemble and sitting passively in a test
tank filled with 40-degree water,”
said Dr. Brent Ruby, Director of
University of Montana’s WPEM.
“Their average skin and core body
temperatures are normal and
hold steady with less than 50 Watts
of power being applied to the prototype undergarments. Without
this protective heated diving suit
ensemble, a normal person would
survive less than 20 minutes in
such cold water.”
“Having a safer and more energy efficient design solution for
heated clothing can greatly improve the military’s performance
in many operational missions that
are conducted in extreme environments,” said Coliant President
John Swiatek. “Soldiers trekking
through mountain passes, helicopter air crews in the North Atlantic
in January, ground crew on a wintry airfield or sailors working on
aircraft carrier flight deck must all
deal with harsh, cold weather environments. This technology even
has application in combat casualty
care for preventing or delaying
the onset of shock and potentially
extending what is known as the
golden hour.”
NSWC PCD has been the U.S.
Navy’s Center of Excellence for
Diving Systems and Technology
for more than 60 years. This latest breakthrough tackles one of
the toughest challenges that Navy
developers have faced in creating
a safe and energy efficient heating
source for Navy divers. Its future
application to various Navy operational needs like ship husbandry,
Initial Response Diving operations, arctic warfare, and Special
Warfare operations is expected
to greatly improve human performance in these applications.

Gulf Defender | Achieve health resolutions in the New Year
325th Fighter Wing Public
Affairs
TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE
— The New Year is here,
and with it come resolutions. After the parties and
celebrations at the end of
2014, many are looking toward health as their number one resolution.
“I am in pretty good
health,” said Senior Airman Melanie Maier, 325th
Fighter Wing protocol
specialist. “However, each
year I like to make improving my health a New
Year’s resolution because
there is always room for
improvement. In my opinion it is important that we
take care of ourselves. If
you don’t fight for yourself,
who will?”
To execute the mission
successfully, airmen must
be fit to fight which starts
with having a healthy lifestyle.
“Leading a healthy lifestyle enables an airman to
enjoy life at their fullest
potential,” said Col. Frederick Weaver, 325th Medical Group commander. “It
makes you more resilient
and involves many factors
that include eating habits,
exercise, risk taking behaviors, etc. An airman’s
performance and quality
of life is directly affected
by those factors. This improves performance, both
on and off duty. We need to
remember that a healthy
lifestyle in the context of
‘mission’ is high performance.”
A part of this healthy
lifestyle is seeking medical attention when feeling
sick by calling the Nurse
Advice Line or going to the
clinic.
“When symptoms persist, getting medical advice
and care immediately can
limit the amount of downtime and ultimately get you
back to your normal level
of performance,” Weaver.
“The NAL is a valuable
tool that is provided by the
Department of Defense
and is a good starting point
to quickly determine if
symptoms warrant an appointment, an immediate
emergency room visit or
home care.”
The patient can reach
the NAL by calling 1-800TRICARE (874-2273). The
NAL is a 24/7, toll free service available to all TRICARE beneficiaries that
can provide medical advice
and make appointments
for the caller through
Tyndall’s medical clinic.
The NAL also can make
appointments with local
civilian clinics if there are
no available appointments
on base.
“While some symptoms
may seem normal, only a
medical professional can
determine if there is an
underlying condition manifesting itself that if caught
early enough would prevent major health issues,”
said Weaver.
Once an appointment is
made, it is imperative that
the patient attend their ap-

∑ø
pointment to receive treatment or reschedule at least
two hours prior to avoid
waste of Air Force manhours and clinic assets.
“With constrained resources, every appointment must be kept,”
Weaver said. “Missing an
appointment affects the
mission negatively. There
is an increased workload;
missed appointments severely reduce mission efficiency.
“Additionally, missing an
appointment means that
there is a missed opportunity for a beneficiary, you
or your family member, to
be seen in the clinic. This
could delay an airman’s return to duty, being worldwide qualified, potential
delay in care coordination for referrals/specialty
care, and of course potential delays in returning an
airman to their full performance level. We need every airman functioning at
their full potential in order
for mission performance to
be as high as possible.”
Outside of illnesses, being healthy is a personal
decision.
“No one can do it for
you; you have to eat right,
exercise, stop smoking (includes vaping and smokeless tobacco), drink responsibly, manage stress, and
get adequate rest,” Weaver
said. “Make healthy living
an everyday habit, do what
works for you.”
Members of Team Tyndall have many programs
and organizations available to them to help fulfill
their 2015 health resolutions. Stay tuned for more
articles this month that
explore and explain these
in detail.

Airfield pavement is another task accomplished
with the supervision of the

“Effective coordination

officials choose this material as it is also a means to
save the Air Force money.
“Concrete on most occasions requires reinforcements like mesh or metal
rods,” said Mary Barber,
325th CES civil engineer.
“We choose asphalt as a
foundation for road construction since it is a more
flexible material and less
expensive than concrete.”
After asphalt is driven
over numerous times, and
requires work, it’s easy to
just overlay the damaged
areas, Barber added.
Cost for current road
work for Airey Ave. to Mississippi Rd. is estimated to
be $850,000.
“I just want to say that
the base populace has been
more than cooperative while
we work with contractors
here,” Henry said. “This
project is going to make big
improvements for everyone
who drives on Tyndall and
we are excited to see this
work being done.”
