COMMENTARY>>If you think you can go it alone, think again
By Capt. Robert A. Firman
Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (AFNEWS) — As I woke up at seven on Saturday morning, July 8, 2006, my five- and three-year-old boys came in to our bedroom looking for a pillow fight with dad. My wife, only five weeks pregnant, a little queasy, and eager to avoid the ensuing melee, got up to make breakfast. None of us knew it would be our last morning in that house together.
As a public affairs officer, I had been assigned to NATO Airbase Geilenkirchen for the past two years. We were fortunate to have found in a small German village a beautiful house with a big back yard and welcoming neighbors. Although work was busy for me, with two beautiful boys and one on the way, life was good for us and I knew I was on top of my game.
After a few minutes of pillow combat, I felt a strong tingle in my face, and then the room started spinning. I collapsed on the bed, wondering what was happening. A half hour later I was unconscious with a breathing tube down my throat, riding a medevac helicopter to a nearby hospital. A blood clot had lodged in my brainstem and parts of it had scattered to my cerebellum.
I was 33 years old and I was having a stroke. Thirty-six hours later I woke up in the intensive care unit, unable to speak, and with the right side of my body lifeless.
Although I had been unconscious for more than a day, the Air Force family had started to mobilize almost immediately.
As the helicopter left our village, my wife Kitty was on the phone with a good friend, Lt. Col. Jim Casey, one of the senior Americans on the base. He raced from his house in the Netherlands and drove Kitty to the hospital while our neighbors took care of the boys. By the time he got to our house, Colonel Casey had already gotten things started, and many people were in action.
One of the first steps was getting support for my wife and boys, and casualty affairs Airmen at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, and Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, got the job done quickly. They had my parents on travel orders and got them from South Dakota to my bedside within 24 hours. In the meantime, the whole NATO airbase was alerted and eager to help.
While this was happening, I waited for motion to return to my right side. After six days I had almost given up hope. Then my thumb twitched. A few days later, I could make a fist. After almost two weeks, I could hold a plastic cup, although I couldn’t drop it. But the recovery had started.
At that point, the doctors decided I was stable enough to move. The Air Force personnel system linked up with the Tricare medical system and made arrangements for me to be transported to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. via the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center near Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Once I was at Landstuhl, it was only a matter of days before I was on a C-17 Globemaster III bound for Washington D.C.
As I left, Kitty was faced with moving herself, our boys and our entire household from Germany to Washington, DC. The help of many people in the Air Force family in both official and private capacities kept this from being an overwhelming prospect.
In a short time, Kitty had to clear the transportation management office, the legal office, personnel, finance and more. Friends helped in every way they could with my U.S. and NATO out-processing checklists.
Thanks to the Company Grade Officers Council, Kitty had a group of volunteers to help her with heavy tasks. The Protestant and Catholic chapel communities cooked meals and offered spiritual support. Groups, individuals, and organizations across the base and the Air Force pulled together for us during this difficult time.
With the help of so many people, Kitty and the boys made it to D.C. by the end of August. By then, my rehabilitation was progressing and I was able to meet them at the airport, walking with only a cane. I’ll never forget the beautiful sight of the three of them getting off the plane. We were finally together and were excited about moving forward together as a family.
But we were not out of the woods yet. Just when we thought the hardest part was behind us, it got worse. After only a few weeks in D.C., we needed the Air Force family again.
Only five weeks pregnant when my stroke happened, Kitty was nearly 20 weeks along by the time we moved on base at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. During a routine 20-week ultrasound at the Bethesda National Naval Medical Center, the doctor said he saw “some things that concerned him.” After some tests, he confirmed that the baby had a fatal chromosome defect, Trisomy 18.
The little boy we named John Robert and called Baby Jack would likely not live more than a few days past birth, if he survived pregnancy and delivery.
Valentine’s Day, 2007, Baby Jack died during labor. Again, the Air Force family stepped in. People at the Airman and Family Readiness Center, mortuary affairs, the medical squadron and from the base community came to our aid. Mortuary affairs specialists made the arrangements to get Baby Jack to my home town in South Dakota for the funeral.
My parents had come out to be with us and take care of the boys again and Air Force Aid Society officials bought us all tickets home for Jack’s funeral. And the Andrews community rallied around us to cook meals and support us as we dealt with this loss.
Loss and trials, although so hard to go through, teach lessons better than books and briefings. It was God and our Air Force family who got us through this past year. It was people in personnel, Tricare, TMO, casualty affairs, mortuary affairs, legal and more, doing their jobs to help us, and doing them well.
It was the incredible medical professionals all along the way working to help us heal. It was the communities at Geilenkirchen and Andrews pulling together to support us. And it was thousands of donors and the Air Force Aid Society staff who got us quickly to the funeral.
From all of this I’ve learned in a profound way that I had been fooling myself into thinking I could go it alone. Thank God and the Air Force family that isn’t true.
Epilogue: Today I’m back at work, assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Public Affairs in the Pentagon. In December, Colonel Casey, who had raced Kitty to the hospital in July, ran a 5K race with me at Walter Reed.
The medical board results have just come back and I have been cleared to return to active duty. I also have been selected for the Air Force’s Regional Affairs Strategist program as a Sub-Saharan Africa specialist.
But most importantly, we know that as we go forward together, the Air Force family is with us.

TOP STORY >>463rd welcomes new commander
By Tech. Sgt. Arlo Taylor
314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
Colonel Jeffrey A. Hoffer firmly grasped the 463rd Airlift Group guidon from 18th Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. James Hawkins and took command of the unit at the group’s change of command ceremony April 19.
The 463rd AG is a primary component in the Global War on Terrorism and the Battle for Iraq with crews and aircraft from its seven squadrons performing worldwide airlift missions. The colonel viewed the group’s contributions working with 463rd members while deployed from October 2006-November 2007 as 332nd Expeditionary Operations Group deputy commander, Balad AB, Iraq; and while he was stationed at Little Rock AFB from 1999-2002.
“It’s both an honor and a privilege to lead an Air Force group, especially the 463rd Airlift Group. They definitely live up to the motto Airlift Anywhere, Anytime, Everytime.
“I first saw it when I was stationed here in (Air Education and Training Command) and on the other side of the house and it was driven home to me when I served with you at Balad (Air Base, Iraq),” the colonel said.
The colonel said the he’s proud of the group’s efforts which have been credited with taking nearly 6,000 convoys off Iraqi roads.
“Again and again the great maintainer’s turn the C-130s in a combat environment better than anyone else out there,” Colonel Hoffer said. “The aircrews were selected to fill the most demanding missions. As a team no other airlift mission came close.
“The impact we have made in Iraq and Afghanistan is incredible. While nearly 6,000 convoy vehicles were off the IED ridden highways, you saved countless lives and helped the Iraqis secure their freedom and democracy,” he said.
Colonel Hoffer told group members at the ceremony that their tactical airlift mission is vital and he looks forward to leading them.
“Today is a change in command, but not a change in your mission. The mission is the same today as it was yesterday and the same as it will be tomorrow … to project air power globally through airland, precision air drop aeromedical evacuation in any environment, any weather and from any operating location,” the colonel said. “You’re a truly in a league of your own. I am thrilled to be here and proud to be your new commander.”

TOP STORY >>Guard NCO packs up top honor
by Master Sgt. Bob Oldham
189th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
An Air National Guard master sergeant in the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing was named the top supply senior NCO in the reserve component recently.
Master Sgt. Shawn Fahey, a material management craftsman, earned the award as a customer service representative in the Guard’ 189th Logistics Readiness Squadron. On the job, he monitors bench stock requirements and priority mission capable parts.
His efforts helped supply beat the Air National Guard standard of non-mission capable supply rate of 3.2 percent. The 189th LRS rate is 1.4 percent.
He monitors two supply software programs — MICAP Asset Sourcing System and Enterprise Supply Solutions — sourcing, requisitioning and tracking more than 200 high-priority parts each month.
He’s a combat-proven veteran who served a tour in Southwest Asia last year. While overseas, he led a 12-person inventory team as it accounted for some 56,000 assets worth $52 million. His team’s efforts resulted in a 99.5 percent inventory accuracy rate.
With 22 years between active duty and Guard time, he’s seen and done a lot. He started his Air Force career as a jet engine mechanic on F-100 engines for the F-15. He spent four years on the job before he retrained to be a C-130 flight engineer.
After a year as an engineer, he decided his heart wasn’t in it, so he retrained into supply. With a year as a supply technician under his belt, he left active duty during the 1991 drawdown because the career field was overmanned.
He joined the Arkansas Guard and served as a power production journeyman for 10 years until a full-time opportunity in supply came open.
189th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
An Air National Guard master sergeant in the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing was named the top supply senior NCO in the reserve component recently.
Master Sgt. Shawn Fahey, a material management craftsman, earned the award as a customer service representative in the Guard’ 189th Logistics Readiness Squadron. On the job, he monitors bench stock requirements and priority mission capable parts.
His efforts helped supply beat the Air National Guard standard of non-mission capable supply rate of 3.2 percent. The 189th LRS rate is 1.4 percent.
He monitors two supply software programs — MICAP Asset Sourcing System and Enterprise Supply Solutions — sourcing, requisitioning and tracking more than 200 high-priority parts each month.
He’s a combat-proven veteran who served a tour in Southwest Asia last year. While overseas, he led a 12-person inventory team as it accounted for some 56,000 assets worth $52 million. His team’s efforts resulted in a 99.5 percent inventory accuracy rate.

TOP STORY >>314th earns AF Outstanding Unit Award
By 2nd Lt. Kelly George
314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
The 314th Airlift Wing was recently awarded the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for exceptionally meritorious service from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006.
As the world’s largest C-130 base, the wing produced over 1,800 combat Airmen annually through the training mission here.
"Our world class C-130 aircrews have worked tirelessly to get graduation rates to an all time high...They've made history training our allies, and helping to stand up the first Iraqi air force. I'm extremely proud of their hard work and the recognition they've received," said Col. Rudy Byrne, 314th Airlift Wing Operatins Group commander.The C-130 school house trained members from four services and 31 nations, including Iraq.
Base Airmen made history, driving the initial stand-up of the Iraqi air force, resulting in the first successful Iraqi solo flight in November of 2005.
“The wing, our base partners, and community leaders have played a vital role in ensuring the success of the 314th Airlift Wing, and the role we play in the Global War on Terror. This award is a testament to our outstanding Airmen who work hard through challenging circumstances and continue to do so with a selfless sprit of service. I’m very proud of their accomplishments,” said Brig. Gen. Kip Self, 314th AW commander.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, in addition to carrying out the day-to-day mission, the base was the focal point for the largest international aid reception in U.S. history.
“The Mission Support Group played a vital role in supporting our Air Force family evacuees from Keelser AFB, as well as ensuring millions of pounds of relief were staged to be delivered to our neighbors on the Gulf Coast. They are the backbone of this base, and I’m very proud of their accomplishments,” said Col. Scott Lockard, 314 Airlift Wing Mission Support Group commander. The base coordinated the staging of 58 aircraft from 20 countries, delivering 3.9 million pounds of relief supplies to the gulf coast.
In the face of aging C-130 aircraft, the 314th Maintenance Group inspected 66 aircraft for center wing cracks, and performed 29 major repairs. These repairs averted the Air Force $8.4 million in depot costs.
“The ‘Rock’ maintainers played a leading role as the wing flawlessly accomplished its No.1 priority, training C-130 aircrew students, and supported worldwide deployments for the Global War on Terror,” said Col. Howard Shelwood, 314th Airlift Wing Maintenance Group commander.
“These committed, dedicated, and professional Airmen did a magnificent job maintaining the aging C-130E aircraft fleet as well as the newer C-130J fleet. Their contributions in Afghanistan and Iraq for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom are also extremely noteworthy. I am very honored and proud to serve with each and every one of my Airmen.”
Maintainers also boast a number of Innovative Development through Employee Awareness, or IDEA, program winners. The program submitters suggested making critical changes for C-130 engine, propeller, and liquid oxygen systems, saving the Air Force $1.8 million annually.
The 314th Medical Group underwent major changes in the past year, including six facility projects and $4 million in infrastructure upgrades; improving the provider’s ability to deliver excellent patient care. More than 36,000 patients benefited from these renovations.
“I am extremely proud of our award-winning, high-performing team (military, civilian, contract, and volunteer) of medics. I am also elated that we have realized an unprecedented time-period of modernization … those modernization efforts will have a long lasting impact on the men and women of Little Rock Air Force Base,” said Lt. Col. John Powers, acting 314th Airlift Wing MDG commander.
The medical group had the No. 1 rated dental clinic in Air Education and Training Command. The base showed off these assets and more during the AETC civic leader tour.
Twenty-two community leaders from the command’s 13 base communities in the command were hosted by AETC commander Gen. William R. Looney III and Gen. Self at the base; resulting in the education of key leaders to the importance of the C-130 training mission.

TOP STORY >>Housing is in your hands
By Senior Airman Jason Elkins
314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
Now is your chance to enhance your housing environment. The Housing Office is currently conducting an Air Force Housing Requirements and Market Analysis Survey in order to identify your housing preferences and the housing conditions in the area.
The web-based survey can be accessed at http://www.airforcehousingsurvey.us/ and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The password is litt9552. “The Air Force is working hard to provide you with the best housing conditions possible.
Your participation is appreciated in helping to achieve this goal,” according to Peggy Eason, chief, Housing Assistance Section. “Whether you are Air Force or non-Air Force, whether you live on-base or off-base, accompanied or unaccompanied, we need everyone’s support in completing the survey.”
The strictly confidential survey directly affects the military housing environment at Little Rock AFB and the surrounding area.
It “determines the number of housing units needed on base and the availability of housing in the local community,” said Ms. Eason. Participation is essential to the program’s success.
A minimum of 1,000 local participants are needed by May 1 to ensure local housing decisions are based upon these inputs.
If the participation falls short, the Little Rock input will be omitted and “they will have to go by the Air Force average,” explained Mary Koorstad, Housing Asset Manager. “It will not take into consideration Little Rock’s specific needs.”
According to Ms. Koorstad, the more participants that take the survey will result in more satisfactory housing options.
If you have any questions or problems regarding the survey, please contact Mary Koorstad or Peggy Eason at 987-2358 or 987-6040.

COMMENTARY>>Advantages outweigh disadvantages for military children
By Senior Airman Sasha
A. Navarro-Schmidt
Det. 12, Air Force News Agency
MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan (AFNEWS) — There are many sacrifices children have to make for the sake of their military parents. They move every time their parents do. They leave schools in the middle of a term and enter new schools, having to make new friends everywhere they go. Some might say the life of the military child can be hard, but one could also argue that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Just ask high school junior Chris Tobierre. He’s a co-captain of the Edgren High School boy’s soccer team, and he’s enjoyed the last six years of his life living overseas in Japan.
“I came here when I was 11 years old, now I’m 17, so those six years have been the best of my life ... and in Japan, I’ve traveled to Korea for (the) Far East (tournament), and I’ve traveled to Guam for Far East.”
Far East is a tournament that comprises high school sports teams from all over the Pacific Theater. Tobierre traveled to Korea last year for Far East, and is looking forward to competing this year with his team at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan.
“The experience, you can’t beat it,” he says, “because you meet new people, and they’re different...and it’s cheap to travel to different bases.”
So even though being a military child can be tough, only a handful of American children can say they’ve been to places like Germany, Japan and Korea, and it’s all thanks to the military. While it’s difficult to leave friends behind at old duty stations, military children can be comforted by the fact that no matter where they go, they can enjoy many of the same activities they left behind at their last base. Sometimes, the activities they can do increase with where they go.
April is the Month of the Military Child. It’s a time to remember the important role children play in the military family, and the sacrifices they make for their military parents.

TOP STORY >>Hangar 1080's situation room
At 314th Services Squadron’s Hangar 1080, formerly the Consolidated Club and J.R. Rockers, renovations are on schedule.
As you drive down Cannon Drive, you will notice the J.R. Rockers signage has been taken down. On the inside, within the common area, the DJ booth and basketball court have been removed.
New electrical outlets have been added behind the bar. Inside the PROPS Pro Shop, walls have been erected and painted. In addition, new light fixtures have been installed. During these renovations, operation has continued, however during April 23 – May 5, the entire building will be closed to allow the next construction phase to begin.
Special functions that were previously scheduled through May 3 will be honored. The 314th Civil Engineers will install a new take-out window, floor titles and carpet. They will also make any necessary adjustments on any previous renovations.
Due to budget constraints all the planned renovations will not be completed before the May 15, Grand Opening.
Future phases of renovations include relocating the cashier’s cage and catering office and rejuvenating the entire ballroom area.
Future projects being reviewed also include paving a cart path from Hangar 1080 to the golf course, building, a covered walkway from PROPS Pro Shop to the main entrance of Hangar 1080, installing exterior windows, and expanding the parking lot.
The coordination of Hangar 1080’s new menu is in the final stages.
The new menu will be a combination of the best sellers from Duffer’s Inn Snack Bar and J.R. Rockers. Today is the last day customers can order from the J.R. Rockers’ Menu. 314th Services Squadron will continually have a facility where customers can dine.
Duffer’s Inn will be operational until May 6.
Customers may also continue to dine at the Strike Zone Café, located inside the Bowling Center.

TOP STORY >>Guard's flight safety program on auto pilot
By Master Sgt. Bob Oldham
189th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
For the sixth time in seven years, the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing was named the recipient of the Air Force’s annual flight safety award.
The unit previously earned the award in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005. Air Force officials recently announced the wing won for 2006.
While earning safety plaques brings attention to the wing, the wing’s attention is on safety, both ground and flight.
“If we want to be recognized for winning an [Air Force] level award, the [Air Force] Safety Award is the one you want to win,” Col. Dwight Balch, 189th AW commander, wrote in an e-mail to wing members. “Our wing goes the ‘extra mile’ when it comes to ground and flying safety. You are to be commended for your accomplishments. I appreciate your attitude and focus on safety. You’re the best!”
The 189th AW is one of three C-130 formal training units and flies 5,100 hours annually training students in all four crew positions. The 189th AW has the “largest C-130 flying-hour program in the ANG with zero Class A of B flight mishaps,” the nomination package stated.
A Class A mishap involves a death or $1 million in damage to an aircraft. A Class B mishap constitutes property damage of $200,000 or higher and/or permanent or partial disability.
The wing boasts some of the most experienced C-130 crews in the Air Force, said Maj. Marc Sicard, the wing’s chief of safety. But flight safety, he acknowledged, starts on the ground.
“We have some of the oldest C-130s in the Air Force inventory,” Colonel Balch said. “One is a 1961 model. The planes need and receive a lot of care from our maintenance group. These guys and gals in maintenance average 20 years of experience. We trust them with our lives every day, and we know they’re not going to let us down.” While having experienced aircrews and maintenance personnel helps, so does being proactive. The wing has a robust foreign object damage program, which has kept the wing from encountering a FOD incident in roughly three years.
Members from across the wing canvass the parking ramp and hangar area, searching for anything that could be sucked into an engine. The 189th AW has flown more than 90,000 hours without a Class A mishap. Its last Class B was in 2001. Each year the Air Force awards two flight safety plaques each to every major command and reserve component.
The ANGs 171st Air Refueling Wing in Pittsburgh, Pa., earned the other flight safety award for the Air Guard.

For the sixth time in seven years, the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing was named the recipient of the Air Force’s annual flight safety award.
The unit previously earned the award in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005. Air Force officials recently announced the wing won for 2006.
While earning safety plaques brings attention to the wing, the wing’s attention is on safety, both ground and flight.
“If we want to be recognized for winning an [Air Force] level award, the [Air Force] Safety Award is the one you want to win,” Col. Dwight Balch, 189th AW commander, wrote in an e-mail to wing members. “Our wing goes the ‘extra mile’ when it comes to ground and flying safety. You are to be commended for your accomplishments. I appreciate your attitude and focus on safety. You’re the best!”
The 189th AW is one of three C-130 formal training units and flies 5,100 hours annually training students in all four crew positions. The 189th AW has the “largest C-130 flying-hour program in the ANG with zero Class A of B flight mishaps,” the nomination package stated.
A Class A mishap involves a death or $1 million in damage to an aircraft. A Class B mishap constitutes property damage of $200,000 or higher and/or permanent or partial disability.
The wing boasts some of the most experienced C-130 crews in the Air Force, said Maj. Marc Sicard, the wing’s chief of safety. But flight safety, he acknowledged, starts on the ground.
“We have some of the oldest C-130s in the Air Force inventory,” Colonel Balch said. “One is a 1961 model. The planes need and receive a lot of care from our maintenance group. These guys and gals in maintenance average 20 years of experience. We trust them with our lives every day, and we know they’re not going to let us down.” While having experienced aircrews and maintenance personnel helps, so does being proactive. The wing has a robust foreign object damage program, which has kept the wing from encountering a FOD incident in roughly three years.
Members from across the wing canvass the parking ramp and hangar area, searching for anything that could be sucked into an engine. The 189th AW has flown more than 90,000 hours without a Class A mishap. Its last Class B was in 2001. Each year the Air Force awards two flight safety plaques each to every major command and reserve component.

TOP STORY >>19th Air Force command chief engages in 'rumor control'
BY Staff Sgt. Kati Garcia
By Staff Sgt. Kati Garcia
314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
“The mantra is no longer ‘do more with less’... we need to learn to do less with less.”
These words summed up the 19th Air Force Command Chief’s message to the Little Rock Rising 6 organization early this week.
Chief Master Sgt. Robert Tappana addressed the group of junior enlisted members Monday, touching on the changing Air Force climate and the challenges that today’s enlisted leaders will face in the coming years. “We’re going to have to figure out how to identify the things that we’re not going be able to do anymore,” Chief Tappana said. “We’re going to have to get smarter and smarter about the way we do business.”
The theme through the command chief’s speech was rumor control, with a specific emphasis on what he calls “rampant rumors surrounding people cuts and money cuts.”
He cited “critically aging” aircraft and satellites and a decrease in military funding as the prevailing reasons for the forecast cut of more than 12 percent of the Air Force’s current personnel.
“Congress won’t let us get rid of our oldest aircraft,” Chief Tappana said. “So our last option is cutting people.”
The 19th Air Force’s top enlisted leader said that the biggest hits in manning cuts are affecting the officer corps, not the enlisted structure. He also said that despite rumors to the contrary, there will be “no big, deep mandatory cuts” in enlisted force.
“We’re utilizing (Career Job Reservations), which the Air Force has always had, and getting rid of those people who are refusing retraining,” he said.
He drew a direct correlation between people and money by citing that over the course of a normal career span, 10,000 people cost the Air Force roughly $1.5 billion in training, pay, housing and benefits.
Chief Master Sgt. Tappana acknowledged that he often hears complaints about Air Force quality of life declining, but says that isn’t true. “People cite no towels at the gym or less channels to watch in Services facilities. Those aren’t quality of life issues.”
His said real quality of life issues, to him, are “equipment and training, decent safe housing for all military members and the money to be able to take care of each other.”
That, he said, is where his focus is when he is discussing quality of life issues with senior leaders. The command chief also discussed issues on a more local level, explaining that it is important for those in Air Education and Training Command not to feel as if they’ve lost sight of the war fighting mission.
“Our wartime mission in AETC is training people. And it is every bit as critical as dropping bombs on (Iraqi Al-Qaeda leader Musab) al-Zarqawi, so right now, you are doing our wartime mission,” the chief said. “We all have a little bit of John Wayne is us. We want to put a knife in our teeth and get in the fight. That’s the way we’re wired. We’re Americans. There’s a fight going on and nobody likes being left out of it. We have some opportunities — not a lot — to deploy those people in AETC who want to be deployed.”
His advice for those Little Rock Airmen looking for opportunities to deploy is to let their chain of command know. “Most opportunities will come in the form of (Third Country National) escort duties,” he said. But, he also said there is limited opportunity for AETC personnel — especially in maintenance career fields — to fill deployment roles for their Air Mobility Command counterparts on Little Rock.
“Never forget that you are a big player in the war on terror,” the chief said. “Every day, you contribute to that mission”

TOP STORY >>Building a better border
By Master Sgt. Bob Oldham
More than 30 members of the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Civil Engineering Squadron and other members from around the 189th Airlift Wing helped secure America’s southern border with Mexico during a two-week deployment March 31-April 14.
Members welded fence into place three feet from the Arizona-Mexico border near Yuma, Ariz.
They also helped build a road, assisted with a lighting project and helped build a secondary and a tertiary fence along the border. The team partnered with the 190th Civil Engineering Squadron from Topeka, Kan.
The project, in support of Operation Jump Start, will cost taxpayers $1.123 billion over two years, according to Brig. Gen. Ulay Littleton, an Air National Guard officer in charge of Arizona’s task force.
Operation Jump Start is the National Guard Bureau’s response to President George W. Bush’s plan to send Guardsmen to the border to assist the U.S. Border Patrol for up to two years, allowing more Border Patrol agents to be moved from support jobs to the front lines in the nation’s daily battle with illegal immigrants.
Of the 6,000 Guardsmen on duty for OJS in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, 2,400 are along the border in Arizona working at observations posts and installing physical barriers, helping keep illegal aliens out. The two-year mission is set to end in July 2008.
Since Guardsmen arrived on the Arizona border last year, the Yuma sector has seen a 68 percent drop in illegals trying to cross the border.
While the fence is helping, Airmen and Soldiers at remote posts are also playing a major role, the general said. “We’ve put 120 badges back on the border,” he said.
The troops in the field use binoculars, night-vision goggles and thermal imaging to identify potential border crossings. They call in the Border Patrol on radios or satellite phone, depending on how remote their post is in the Arizona desert. Thanks to the efforts of Guardsmen and Border Patrol agents, the Yuma sector has stopped 36,500 pounds of illegal drugs from entering the country’s black market.
They’ve also seized nearly 70 vehicles and more than 10 weapons. When the mission is complete in 2008, the Guard will have built 3.3 miles of primary fence, 7.2 miles of lighting, 7.2 miles of 15-foot tall secondary fence and 7.2 miles of tertiary chain link fence.

COMMENTARY>>Major general discusses role as 19th Air Force commander
By Staff Sgt. Beth Del Vecchio
12th Flying Training Wing Public Affairs
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas — (The 19th Air Force is composed of more than 38,000 total force personnel in 18 wings and four independent training groups located across the United States. Overseeing the force is Maj. Gen. Irving Halter, who has served as the 19th Air Force commander for close to five months. The mission of the 19th Air Force is an important one, managing all flying training within the Air Education and Training Command. In his own words, General Halter speaks on his goals, his vision and the future of his command.)
What is the role of the 19th Air Force in today’s Air Force?
The 19th Air Force provides the bulk of the flying training for the entire Air Force. The Air Force is an air, space and now cyber-space force, but our core reason for being is primarily “Air Forces” and executing missions in the air. In my perspective, we are training professionals of the core business for the United States Air Force.
What is your vision for the 19th Air Force while you are in command?
First of all, it’s about the mission first and always; to continue to produce high quality aviators for the Air Force and also for our partners in the Navy and our allies. Second to that, to improve the lives of the people who actually execute our mission, such as our permanent cadre in the 19th Air Force. I want to help make their lives better, their professional lives and their quality of life, to the extent that I can.
Since you have taken over command of the 19th Air Force, have you seen any of your visions take flight?
Much of my day-to-day job involves working with wing commanders. I have been a wing commander twice, so I’ve been in their shoes. If they have an issue, or if they just need advice, I’m the one who is on the other end of the phone or there with them, to help them work through it. What I’ve seen so far is that the wing commanders are superb, their senior staffs are superb and their squadron commanders are superb. I am very impressed with how they are taking care of the mission, balancing limited resources and the welfare of their people with producing high quality students on time. In terms of my goal to produce a great product, we certainly continue to do that.
What are your goals as the 19th Air Force commander?
Along with the goal to produce a good product and improve the quality of life for my people, the safe execution of our mission is very important. There are substantial risks that go with our mission. Each year, we execute almost half of the flying hours of the Air Force, close to half a million flying hours a year. I have wings that execute 150-plus sorties in a day. When I was a wing commander in an operational unit, we might execute 150 a week. These flying hours are done predominately by people with little to no experience. So, at the end of the day, my goal is to have all of our airplanes and, more importantly, all of our people safe. It’s dangerous work and I don’t want anyone to think it is routine. We make it look easy, but it’s not. That is why I’m so impressed with my cadre. They let students go far enough to learn, but be safe at the same time. Most of being good at flying is experience and we want to give them that experience.
What is your desired legacy as 19th Air Force commander?
Any commander’s job is to leave the command better than when they got it. I inherited a great command that’s running on all cylinders. General Rogers and his predecessors did a wonderful job with the command, and I have a very supportive commander in General Looney. I’ve got all of these things going for me, so my job is just to leave the command a better place.
What Air Force “life lessons” have helped you in your current position?
My Air Force experience as a commander has helped me a lot at this level. I’ve commanded units at all levels and every command opportunity has taught me things about myself, but it has also taught me things about our people. The Air Force has great people, and those people are the ones taking care of the mission and making us look good. So, you have to take care of your people. I’ve been in units when we’ve had great times with great inspections and lots of promotions, but I’ve also been in units when we’ve had bad times and lost people or equipment. Because I have been through these things, I know that being a commander when things are going good-is easy. You earn your pay when things are bad. That is when you look at your people and say, “We’re still doing good. I’m here to support you. Let’s work through this and get the job done.”
What is one thing you want everyone in the 19th Air Force to focus on right now?
Certainly, I want everyone to concentrate on the positives of our business. It is easy to get wrapped up in negative things and I understand that. I ask that people focus on the good things we are doing. We are doing something that is important in the world. I just ask that people look at the Air Force in a balance, and focus on the many good things that we have. For instance, our medical care is better than it has ever been. It may not be as convenient as it was at one time, but again, if you aren’t satisfied with your medical care, go out to the civilian world and try to buy it. The medical care we receive is almost unaffordable. Despite cutbacks, we have new equipment. Especially in the 19th Air Force, if it’s new in the Air Force, 19th Air Force has it first.
Do you foresee any changes to the 19th Air Force relating to the direction the Air Force is headed in the Global War on Terror?
We are certainly keeping an eye on the personnel tempo of our people. For a long time, if you were in a training unit, you weren’t tasked to deploy. That isn’t the case anymore. We recognize that not only are our folks training people to go fight in the Global War on Terrorism, they are deploying themselves. I think that the tempo is not going to get better-any time soon. Not that this is necessarily a change, but I think there was a time when people who came to the Air Education and Training Command weren’t tasked as much to deploy and that isn’t true now.
With downsizing and budget cuts, what is the biggest challenge you face in command of the 19th Air Force?
We have said, at the most senior levels of the Air Force, we are not going to do more with less. I don’t think that everyone believes this. We have great people who when faced with reductions, work harder to make up for it. I think what the bosses are saying is that they don’t want people to work harder, they want them to find smarter ways to do business and to help us find the things that we shouldn’t do anymore. Our responsibility as leadership is to listen to what our people come up with and take action immediately.
We’ve reduced people and we have to continue with our mission. That doesn’t mean that we have to do it the same way we have been; in fact, we can’t afford to do things the same way we have been. There is a tendency out there to say, “We’ll just work harder,” and that’s not what senior leadership wants. We need to figure out smarter ways. You are the ones on the flightline, in the shops, in the classroom and in the cockpit. Help us to find better ways and then share them with everybody.
I really believe that people in the Air Force should be able to enjoy the life that they defend. There are tough times when we are under pressure and we just have to deal with the pressure and sacrifice, but we can figure out smarter ways to do things with less. We have good people and they say, “We’ll make it work.” If making it work is bringing your folks in on the weekends, or working 16 hour days, you are violating our intent. We are our own worst enemies. We need your help to make this work.

We have said, at the most senior levels of the Air Force, we are not going to do more with less. I don’t think that everyone believes this. We have great people who when faced with reductions, work harder to make up for it. I think what the bosses are saying is that they don’t want people to work harder, they want them to find smarter ways to do business and to help us find the things that we shouldn’t do anymore. Our responsibility as leadership is to listen to what our people come up with and take action immediately.
We’ve reduced people and we have to continue with our mission. That doesn’t mean that we have to do it the same way we have been; in fact, we can’t afford to do things the same way we have been. There is a tendency out there to say, “We’ll just work harder,” and that’s not what senior leadership wants. We need to figure out smarter ways. You are the ones on the flightline, in the shops, in the classroom and in the cockpit. Help us to find better ways and then share them with everybody.
I really believe that people in the Air Force should be able to enjoy the life that they defend. There are tough times when we are under pressure and we just have to deal with the pressure and sacrifice, but we can figure out smarter ways to do things with less. We have good people and they say, “We’ll make it work.” If making it work is bringing your folks in on the weekends, or working 16 hour days, you are violating our intent. We are our own worst enemies. We need your help to make this work.

TOP STORY >>Spring cleaning sweeps into family housing
By Carolyn Bendien
314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
A Spring Clean-Up day, hosted by Little Rock Family Housing, will be held Saturday in conjunction with the Jacksonville Clean-up day.
All residents are encouraged to participate by tidying up their yard and surrounding area. For easier disposal of bulk and junk items, extra dumpsters will be provided at the Town Hall for everyone’s use.
Little Rock Family Housing will be giving away one free flat of annuals per family that is interested. The flowers will be distributed at the Town Hall starting at 10:30 a.m.
Residents don’t have to change their yards into the Garden of Eden, but there are some simple things they can do to spruce up their neighborhoods, according to the housing manager, Francie Escovedo.
“Residents can beautify their yards by picking up trash, throwing away bulk items they do not use anymore, storing children’s toys out of view or along the side of their house, and mowing and trimming the grass,” she said.
“Residents are not allowed to plant vines and must get any trees approved by Little Rock Family Housing before planting. All bulk items, such as old furniture or large boxes, should be taken to the dumpsters. Only items in trashcans and bags of leaves will be picked up off from the curb,” Ms. Escovedo said.
Yard tickets could be issued to residents that fail to comply with yard standards. Examples of yard violations include tall grass, storing ATV’s or boats and having furniture on the carport. A complete list of standards can be found in the resident handbook on pages 14 and 15 or located on their Web site, www.littlerockfamilyhousing.com under “Resident Services.”
For more information, call Little Rock Family Housing at 983-9046.

TOP STORY >>Top Airman discusses new enlisted performance report
By Airman 1st Class
Nicholas Stowers
Det. 6, Air Force News Agency
LAJES FIELD, Azores (AFNEWS) — The top enlisted Airman discussed the new Air Force Enlisted Performance Report during his recent stop in Lajes Field.
“I think it’s going to be much better than the one we presently have,” Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Rodney J. McKinley said.
“We’re just trying to improve it so we don’t have to spend so much time writing it,” the chief said. “That way we have more factual stuff in there.”
The new EPR has several advantages to it, including a mechanism for instant feedback.
“Now on the new (EPR) you’re going to sign for it before it goes in,” Chief McKinley said, “So you’ll know exactly what you’re going to be getting from the very beginning.”
Physical fitness will also be measured on the new EPR. Supervisors will rate whether Airmen meet fitness standards, fail to meet standards, or are exempt.
“Physical fitness is a big part of our Air Force, and having this on the EPR and being evaluated as such is very important,” Chief McKinley said. Also, along with the new EPR, the Air Force is developing a new performance feedback to aid Airmen in developing their careers.
“The front sheet of the performance feedback looks exactly like the front sheet of the EPR,” Chief McKinley said. “Doing an EPR and doing a good EPR starts with doing a quality performance feedback to our Airmen.”
The new EPR will become effective this summer.

TOP STORY >>Officer proud to take care of deployers
By Carolyn Bendien
314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
Captain Sharonda Graham, 314th Logistics Readiness Squadron, has been named the Air Education and Training Command Readiness Officer of the Year.
Capt. Graham supports the Little Rock Air Force Base mission by making sure that all airmen are prepared for deployments by supplying them with everything they will need before they leave.
“My job is to deploy people. Every squadron on this base has someone deploying from it. Therefore, my job has an impact on everyone on this base,” said Captain Graham. “My [troops] and I have to ensure everyone leaves here on time and with the proper equipment to sustain their mission in their deployed location. If we fail our job, we fail everyone on base.”
The captain said the most rewarding part of her job is knowing Airmen are taken care of.
“The most rewarding part of the job is when a deployer says, ‘Thank you ma’am.’” she said. “When I know I’ve done everything in my power to ensure their departure was smooth, I’m satisfied. It’s hard leaving behind your family for a deployment, but when you help make that transition easier for (Airmen)... it’s rewarding.”
The AETC Readiness Officer of the Year award is chosen based on the outstanding work that the officer has done over the past year. “I am blessed to be chosen for this award,” said Captain Graham, “I come to work everyday, and I do my job not expecting anything in return. This award is a plus.”

TOP STORY >>First AMC C-130J squadron stands up here
The 41st Airlift Squadron became the newest members of the 463rd Airlift Group here in a ceremony April 5 as they added a new accomplishment to their resume–being named the first active-duty combat C-130J squadron in the Air Force.
The Black Cats bring a distinguished history to the base as the third oldest and one of the most highly decorated airlift squadrons in U.S. military history. Most recently Pope Air Force Base, N.C. was home to the 41st Airlift Squadron but moved here due to the Base Realignment and Closure process.
The squadron’s realignment here is the first major change the base has experienced as a result of the latest round of BRAC recommendations.
Amongst a sea of Airmen, distinguished visitors, past 41st Airlift Squadron commanders and extended family, Lt. Col. Daniel Tulley assumed active-duty command of the first active-duty combat C-130J squadron.
New Black Cats commander, Lt. Col. Daniel Tulley comes to Arkansas for the second time in his career, and “is the natural choice for this position,” said Col. John Gomez, 463rd Airlift Group commander.
Two years from now Colonel Tulley envisions the new squadron, “coming back from the desert experienced,” he said.
During the next six months, the 41st Airlift Squadron will focus on moving in, qualifying aircrews, and increasing readiness, according to Colonel Tulley.
The 41st Airlift Squadron will bring 155 Airmen here employing 16 C-130J combat aircraft. Little Rock AFB has seven Air Education and Training Command C-130Js assigned to the 48th Airlift Squadron and one Air Mobility Command C-130J, assigned to the 41st Airlift Squadron. The 41st Airlift Squadron will gain 15 more in the future.
The C-130 primarily performs the tactical portion of the U.S. Air Force’s airlift mission. The 463rd Airlift Group has recently been credited with replacing more than 5,500 convoys in Iraq and Afghanistan with the older C-130E and C-130H3 aircraft. The C-130 is capable of operating from rough, dirt strips and is the prime transport for air dropping troops and equipment into hostile areas.
