TOP STORY >>Team Little Rock completes ROCKEX 07-05
By Staff Sgt. Juan A. Torres
314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
The 314th and 189th Airlift Wings and the 463rd Airlift Group participated in ROCKEX last week in preparation for their upcoming operational readiness inspections.
“The main goal of the exercise was to test our capability to fulfill a short-notice AMC deployment order,” said Maj. Daniel Halsted, the 314th AW exercise chief.
Unit taskings for the exercise were based on how units would actually be tasked in real-world scenarios. The 463rd AG was tasked with supplying personnel, aircraft and support equipment while the 314th AW was tasked with mainly personnel and equipment due to their aircraft being tied to the training mission here.
The exercise also tested the cooperation between base agencies during the deployment process. The 314th AW, 189th AW and 463rd AG all support each other during the deployment process for both exercise and real world scenarios, according to base officials.
Other goals of the exercise included exercising and evaluating base readiness and capability to respond to various security incursions, base response to a major accident off-base with casualties and various force protection exercises. The base’s awareness and readiness to respond to security incursions was tested through the use of threats and changing force protection conditions.
“Some of the scenarios that were used to test base readiness included simulated gate runners, unauthorized personnel in flightline restricted areas, and suspicious packages and personnel in and around the flightline areas,” said Major Halsted.
In addition, a major accident response exercise was conducted through the use of a simulated aircraft crash at Camp Robinson.
“The objective of the major accident response exercise is to exercise the capability of base agencies to cooperate with each other and off-base agencies in response to a major off-base accident,” he said.
Evaluators also had many considerations during planning to ensure the exercise had minimal effect on the day-to-day mission of the base.
“During the planning stages we look at possible problem areas, effects on mission and safety concerns,” he said. “We also ensure that evaluators are at their proper locations so as to not confuse people or whether scenarios are real-world or exercise related.”
Base evaluators will use information and reports gathered during this exercise in conjunction with reports from other bases to develop future scenarios and evaluate which areas may need improvements.
“The huge success with this exercise has been our ability to identify where our success lies and what areas might require some work,” said Major Halstead. “With the proper preparation and training we will steadily improve and be ready when the time for our operational readiness inspection comes.”

TOP STORY >>Guard Airman, son save 19-year-old
By Master Sgt. Bob Oldham
189th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
In a coma, 19-year-old Katie Gleason of Little Rock didn’t know Air National Guard Tech. Sgt. Sam Macheak or his son, Ross, a 42nd Composite Squadron Civil Air Patrol cadet major, before she slipped into an unresponsive state.
They all met Aug. 2, but she doesn’t recall it. They helped stabilize her until the ambulance and fire crews could arrive.
Young Katie was driving along Maumelle Boulevard on her way to meet a cosmetics client. It was about 6:20 p.m. as she attempted to make a left turn across two lanes of traffic. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see past a row of cars that were opposite of her that were also trying to make a left turn.
She waited patiently for an opening in the traffic. She thought she had one and pressed the accelerator with her foot. Today, she still doesn’t remember the truck that slammed into car at about 55 mph.
“It’s like playing Russian roulette” at that intersection, Katie’s mother, Kelly Gleason, said. To date, there have been more than a dozen vehicle accidents at that intersection. The Macheaks — Sam, Ross and family — were on their way out to eat in Maumelle. They were in heavy traffic when Sam saw the accident happen.
As the truck hit, he saw a perfect bubble erupt from the car as the glass in Katie’s car exploded in every direction from the collision. Sam pulled off the road and jumped out. Ross followed.
“[Katie] was semi-conscious for a moment,” Sam said. She was in good hands. Sam works in the information technology department at Baptist Health and has current life-saving skills in first aid, plus annual Air Force self-aid and buddy care training. Ross has received training from the Civil Air Patrol to search for downed aircraft. Aircraft often go down in remote locations, so searchers have to know how to treat a myriad of injuries.
“I jumped in the (driver’s side) back door,” Sam said. “Ross went in through what was left of the passenger-side door.”
The car was a crumpled mess.
“The [front] passenger’s seat just basically disappeared,” he said. “I don’t know where it went, either; under the car or into the engine.”
As traumatic as the crash was, Katie was fortunate. She was wearing her seatbelt, and she was wrapped in an airbag cocoon.
In 2003, 5,240 teens were killed in passenger-vehicle crashes, and 458,000 teens were injured, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics.
Sixty-three percent of the fatally injured 16-to-20-year-old passenger vehicle occupants were unrestrained, compared to 55 percent for adults 21 or older.
In 2003, an estimated 2,488 lives were saved by air bags.
Katie was banged up, bruised and bloodied. She was having trouble breathing, and her car was starting to smoke.
While Sam and Ross stabilized her in the driver’s seat, someone unhooked the battery cables, causing the smoke to stop.
Sam kept her airway open while Ross ran a mental checklist of injuries: lacerations, possible broken bones, possible head and neck injuries, light pulse.
Within five minutes, emergency crews were on scene, working to remove her from her car.
Four excruciatingly long days later, Katie’s eyes opened.
She had suffered a tiny bleeding brain injury, lacerations and a fracture at L3 in her back.
She spent a month in the hospital, followed by weeks of physical therapy and occupational therapy.
She’s well on the road to recovery, thanks to a father and a son who chose to make a difference on Aug. 2.

TOP STORY >>Mother, son reunite in Iraq
By Senior Airman Travis Edwards
332nd Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq — Deploying to a strange and unfamiliar base for the first time can be difficult. Throw in parting with your four-month old son for the next four months of his life, and it’s enough to make a grown man cry.
Such is the case for one senior airman deployed from Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., except he has a shoulder to lean on, his mom.
Senior Airman Owen Brickell, a sheet metal fabricator with the 332nd Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron here, spends most of his weeks fabricating replacement parts for damaged structures on aircraft, but what would normally be a day off running on the treadmill by himself, turns into a day he and his mom can spend bonding.
“It’s reassuring to have my mom here with me. If I need to talk to someone about anything, she is right there for me, and I appreciate her for that,” said Airman Brickell.
His mom, a reservist stationed at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, already had orders to Iraq when she heard the news of her son.
“We already knew I had orders to spend four months in Iraq,” said Maj. Brenda Owen, Airman Brickell’s mother and an emergency room nurse at the Air Force Theater Hospital. “But we weren’t sure when or if Owen was coming at all.”
Major Owen is the night shift head nurse for the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group, helping save lives almost everyday.
Amazingly, it worked out for the two. “It was hard to leave my wife and new son, but knowing that my mom was going to be there a month after me gave me something to look forward to,” he said.
Ironically, the mother and son see more of each other in Iraq than they have in years.
Airman Brickell is scheduled to redeploy this month, where he will leave someone he loves, to find comfort again in the embrace of his wife and child.

TOP STORY >>Families reason we Rock the mission
By Brig. Gen. Rowayne Schatz
314th Airlift Wing commander
Last week I had the honor of attending the Air Education and Training Command commander’s and chief’s conference. Events such as these give leaders a chance to hear about issues affecting Airmen throughout AETC and the Air Force. We are able to share ideas on what we’re doing right and find new ways to improve our mission processes and quality of life at our home bases.
Gen. William Looney III, commander of AETC, stressed time and again during this conference the great job our Airmen are doing on a daily basis. Both he and I are very aware of the demands placed on you every day to accomplish the mission — many times with less manning and resources than ever. And day after day, you step up to meet those challenges, developing new ways to do your piece smarter, safer and better.
But those demands don’t stop at work. They carry over into our home lives as well. While we’re being asked to do more at work, we’re also asking our families to do more at home. Longer and more frequent deployments, exercises and longer work shifts mean we’re often away more than we’re home. And when we’re gone, the mission on the home front does not stop. Our children still need doctor and dentist appointment, the lawn still needs to be mowed, the car still needs to be serviced and our pets still need to be tended to.
The pride General Looney has in our Airmen doesn’t stop with those in uniform. It extends to all of you who take care of us so we can take care of our nation. For all those families who set an extra place at the table on Thanksgiving so an Airman celebrating his first holiday away from home can feel welcome, we thank you. For the nondeployed staff sergeant who stops off at his neighbor’s house to check on a family and lend a hand while the sponsor is away, we thank you. For every parent who makes time to read to a child at a school on base because that first grader’s mommy or daddy is deployed, you will forever have our gratitude.
There are spouses’ groups who band together to take care of each other throughout the year. These are the people who lend a hand to new families and help them get adjusted to life on the Rock. And we couldn’t do it without them. For every wife facing her new husband’s first deployment is a wife who has been through it 10 times and always graciously offers to show her the ropes. For every child who is sad because her mommy missed her school play there is another who will invite her to play and let her know it’s going to be okay.
The teamwork spirit we demonstrate at work doesn’t stay at work. Our Little Rock families epitomize this spirit. We can all learn a little something from the ones at home who keep the fires burning and the wheels turning. Without them, we would not be the successful Air Force we are today.
My wife Kim and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are proud to serve with you. Combat Airlift!

Football: Falcons, Hall run roughshod over CSU
By Wayne Amann
U.S. Air Force Academy Public Affairs
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AFPN) — At 5 feet 8 inches and 180 pounds, U.S. Air Force Academy senior Chad Hall is one of the smallest players in Division I college football. However, the Z-back (a combination wide receiver/running back) exploded for a Falcon single-game rushing record 256 yards on 31 carries and scored four touchdowns, leading Air Force to a 45-21 battering of the Colorado State Rams Oct. 13, before 25,150 fans at Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo.
The Atlanta native eclipsed the old bluesuiter mark of 249 yards set in 1989 by Heisman Trophy candidate Dee Dowis. The week before, Hall posted a career-best 169 yards on 18 carries, against the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, to earn Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors.
“It’s a great accomplishment because Dee Dowis is one of the greatest players to come through here,” Hall said. “All the credit has to go to our offensive linemen, the perimeter blockers and our fullbacks who opened the holes.”
After a 45-minute lightning delay, Hall and company took the opening kickoff in drizzly conditions and thundered 80 yards in 14 running plays, capped by a 2-yard touchdown scamper by Hall for a 7-0 lead.
One minute and 13 seconds later, Falcon senior linebacker Drew Fowler intercepted a Caleb Hanie screen pass and rumbled 26 yards for another touchdown.
“Our coaches were emphasizing they like to throw the screen,” Fowler said. “Their running back just slipped out (in my coverage area) and he (Hanie) threw it right to me.”
It was the first of four interceptions by the Air Force defense. Cornerback Carson Bird picked off two and linebacker Austin Randle the other.
Meanwhile, Air Force quarterback Shaun Carney threw just five passes and completed three for 52 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Mark Root in the third quarter to balloon the lead to 38-14.
Hall’s record-breaking game overshadowed Carney’s first completion, a 12-yarder to Hall in the first quarter. It enabled the senior signal caller to become the Falcons’ all-time career passing leader. Carney’s 4,835 yards passed Dave Ziebart’s (1976-1979) 4,789.
Carney relied on a relentless ground attack, 69 carries for 385 yards, to control the tempo.
Five drives, between 10 and 16 plays each, kept Air Force in command. The Falcons held the ball for 12:45 of the fourth quarter to put the game away. The credit was earned by the offensive line.
“Those guys have been spectacular,” Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun said. “They played well down the stretch against Utah. They salted the UNLV game away last week. And they did it again in this one.”
The win gave Air Force (5-2, 4-1) sole possession of second place in the Mountain West Conference behind Brigham Young (4-2, 3-0). It’s the Falcons’ best start in league play since they went 4-1 as a member of the Western Athletic Conference in 1998.
The loss sent the intra-state rival Rams (0-6, 0-3) to their 13th straight defeat.
Team numbers aside, Hall was named one of four nominees for the AT&T All-America Player of the Week Award. It’s the only college football honor determined exclusively by fan voting, which ends Jan. 4. The nominee ballot list is selected by ESPN based on player performance during the week. The winner will be announced during the national championship game on FOX-TV Jan. 8.
“It’s fun,” said Hall when asked about his success carrying the ball the last couple of weeks. “I’ll do everything I can to make plays for this team and win every game.”

TOP STORY >>Officials release new annual training plan details
By Staff Sgt. J.G. Buzanowski
Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (AFPN) — Air Force leaders have released the details about the new annual training requirements program for the Total Force.
As of Oct. 15, all Airmen will use the new “block instruction” plan that combines nine ancillary training courses into three 30-minute blocks of training, saving more than 6 million man hours every year.
“This is a huge win for the entire Air Force,” said Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley. “By tightening up our ancillary training requirements, we’ve returned vital time to all Airmen. Airmen’s time is a critical commodity as we reduce end strength while continuing to focus on our warfighting efforts.”
The new training blocks satisfy all requirements for the following subjects:
Information Protection covers information security, NATO security, information assurance, records management, as well as the Privacy and Freedom of Information Acts
Force Protection deals with protection from terrorism Level 1 training
Human Relations entails combating human trafficking, suicide awareness and violence prevention
The three training blocks must be completed once per year in order to meet minimum training requirements. Timing will depend on when previous training was taken, or as directed by local commanders, according to Maj. Joel Elsbury, Air Force deputy chief of training policy and development.
“For example, an Airman who took information awareness training in January this year and all other Information Protection (training) in April would take the new information protection block in January next year,” the major explained. “The Airman becomes “non-current” in information protection in January of 2008. By retaking the complete block in January, the Airman would become current in all six subjects for one full year.”
Airmen who wish to synchronize all of their annual training are encouraged to take all three blocks at one time, accomplishing in just 90 minutes what once took more than eight hours to do, Major Elsbury said.
Airmen can access the training through the Advanced Distributed Learning Service Web site directly or through the link on the Air Force Portal.
Although the ADLS is the preferred method for completing this training, units will have the option to download and deliver the training blocks “off-line” as needed. This approach is designed especially for Guard and Reserve units, as well as deployed Airmen, Major Elsbury said.
Airmen who complete the training using ADLS will have their record updated automatically. If the off-line delivery method is used, unit training managers will manually upload course completion data into ADLS to ensure full credit. Reserve units also will have the option of tracking completions through ReserveNet.
“We’ve purposefully designed this training to satisfy the basic requirements for ‘awareness,’” said Lt. Gen. Roger Brady, deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services.
While this effort is intended to maximize unit effectiveness, intelligent and sensible training remains an indispensable responsibility of the Air Force, General Brady said.
“When local conditions or mission requirements demand additional or different training, commanders retain their discretion to provide that training as needed,” General Brady said.

TOP STORY >>Change of command set Nov. 3 for 189th AW
By Master Sgt. Bob Oldham
189th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
The 189th Airlift Wing will change hands at a Nov. 3 change of command ceremony, announced Brig. Gen. Riley Porter, the Arkansas Air National Guard commander, at the wing’s Oct. 14 commander’s call.
Col. Jim Summers, the unit’s current vice commander, will replace Col. Dwight Balch, who will join General Porter at Arkansas ANG Headquarters as chief of staff.
“I’ve known both of these men a very long time, they’re great leaders,” said General Porter. “Dwight and I go way back to our tanker days, flying KC-135s in the 1980s. He will be a welcome addition to my staff. Jim has proved himself capable of taking on the responsibilities as a wing commander. I know he will flourish in that role.”
The ceremony is at 10 a.m. in Building 207, the wing’s aircraft hangar. Invitations have been sent to more than 100 area civilian dignitaries and military leaders. Wing members who are not scheduled for training are expected to attend. Additionally, the Arkansas Army Guard’s 106th Army Band will be on hand to perform.
Colonel Summers is a command pilot with more than 8,000 hours in various military aircraft.
He began his military career in 1979 when he joined the Marine Corps to fly CH-46 helicopters. In 1986, he joined the Coast Guard, eventually flying HC-130Hs. He joined the Arkansas ANG’s 154th Training Squadron in 1991 as an instructor pilot.
In 1999, he was named the 189th Maintenance Squadron commander and held the position for two years before he was named the 189th Operations Group commander. He was named the wing’s vice commander this past August.

TOP STORY >>Moving 'Can do' attitudes to 'Will do' plans
By Lt. Col. Jeffrey Collins
314th Services Squadron commander
Bless our Air Force blue hearts — we accomplish wonders at break-neck speed. We’re brought up to be “men of action” and “get ‘er done.” And in large measure, we do. Ray Bradbury implores risk-taking in business with his words, “You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build wings on the way down.”
Believe me, there’s a time for quick action, and I believe fortune favors the bold. But, sometimes and, probably more-often than not, there is actually time to think and plan before you jump.
My middle school principal told us, “No one plans to fail, but many who fail, fail to plan.” He was right. Since taking command, I’ve found a unit of individuals dedicated and ready to jump to try to give you what you say you want. That’s a “can-do” attitude and every services squadron needs it.
My challenge to my squadron has been to raise our chins to look down the road and adopt a “will-do” attitude. The difference between the two is a plan to plan.
I’ve been asking questions like these: What should we be programming for March Madness and St. Patrick’s Day and African American Heritage month? How are we going to get the wing WARFIT and rested for the operational readiness inspection and Air Expeditionary Force 6-7? What should the club look like in three years? How can we prepare to help a project officer who gets tapped to produce a commander’s call? How should we respond to new ideas?
Answers to those last questions are critical to my squadron’s future success. We will win whenever we are able to help you plan and help you succeed. We want to jump off cliffs with you, but we want to have a plan in hand to get the wings built on the way down.

TOP STORY >>Putting 'combat' in Combat Airlift
By Brig. Gen. Rowayne Schatz
314th Airlift Wing commander
We’re wrapping up another phenomenal ROCKEX this week. Once again, I am extremely proud of your performance. We still have areas we can improve on before the next ORI, but with each exercise, we’re demonstrating our abilities and showing great improvements.
Exercises aren’t fun. We have all been through them, and they can be uncomfortable and tiring. But they’re vital. I believe it is always important to practice harder than you play. To this note, we aim to throw more scenarios at you during an exercise than you should ever see while you’re in a contingency environment.
If you enter a situation prepared for every conceivable scenario, you’re ready for anything. We practice our golf games to make them better. We spend time in the batting cages to become better baseball players. Anyone who has children has heard the alphabet sung to infinity in their homes as their little ones practice — again and again — to become proficient. Preparing for war takes just as much practice as any of the hobbies we enjoy.
I think it safe to say that no one in our armed forces relishes the thought of going to war. But the reality is we are a nation currently fighting a war on more than one front. Winning the Global War on Terrorism begins at home, with the right people, training and equipment. As your commander, it is my sworn duty to protect you. The best way for me to do this is to ensure that each and every one of you is prepared to do your duty and defend your nation.
I feel a strong sense of pride across this base every day. I am proud to call you my fellow Airmen. You truly put the “combat” in Combat Airlift!

MOVIE REVIEW>>10-12-07
Mr. Bean's Holiday — Rowan Atkinson, Willem Dafoe
In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean – the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks – goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions. Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. But his trip doesn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film. Rated G 88 min.
Balls of Fury — Dan Fogler, Christopher Walken
In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now, this outrageous new comedy serves up this secret world for the first time on-screen. Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenom Randy Daytona is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father's killer, one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng. Rated PG-13 (crude/sex-related humor, language) 90 min.
In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean – the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks – goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions. Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. But his trip doesn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film. Rated G 88 min.
Balls of Fury — Dan Fogler, Christopher Walken
In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now, this outrageous new comedy serves up this secret world for the first time on-screen. Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenom Randy Daytona is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father's killer, one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng.

TOP STORY >>ORI: Get ready to ROCKEX!
By Maj. Nate Allerheiligen
314th Airlift Wing Director of Readiness
Are you ready to ROCKEX? Next week, we’ll be having a composite exercise for Team Little Rock.
The 314 AW, 189 AW, and 463 AG will all be exercising different portions of their combat preparedness machines.
This will be a tough and rigorous exercise of the base, but it is absolutely essential for Team Little Rock to prepare for our inspections, enhance our war-fighting skills, and validate that our training is top-notch.
For the community, it will mean some loss of services. Support functions, customer service areas, and many facilities may have closures with little or no notification.
Almost the entire base will be affected in one form or fashion. As a member of Team Little Rock (if you are reading this, you are on the team), we ask for your cooperation and patience while we give this mission critical tune-up to our outstanding Airmen.
For those Airmen directly involved in the exercise, it is time to put on your game face for a good, hard scrimmage. We’ll be working events far above and beyond what our inspection will demand — that’s good.
However, nothing we give you will compare to what your comrades in arms are facing on a daily basis in their deployed locations. Help us help you by playing by the rules, make this as real as possible, and handle each situation as close to “real world” as you can.
We only have 3 opportunities between now and the inspection to conduct these base-level ROCKEX’s. Let’s make this one count!

TOP STORY >>Saving energy yields big money for base
By Tech. Sgt. Joseph Croswait
Special to the Drop Zone
October is Energy Awareness Month and there are things we can all do to make more wise and effective use of our energy resources.
Little Rock Air Force Base spent more than $500,000 last month just to keep our lights on. With the rising cost of these expenses, and the effect on our environment from consumption of natural resources, it is the responsibility of all of us to take steps to conserve energy.
Everyone's efforts can make a significant impact on our budget. Last year the base saved more than $300,000 for end-of-year spending that included some needed dormitory renovations, improvements to our C-130 assault landing strip, computer replacements, and several force protection improvements.
Energy conservation means money conservation and a healthier environment.
Here are some things each person can do to save energy and money:
• Ensure thermostats are set not higher than 70 degrees F for heating and not lower than 75 degrees F for cooling.
• Lower blinds to preserve cooling during summer. Raise blinds on windows with southern exposure to take advantage of natural heat and light during the winter.
• Keep air supply and return vents clean and free of obstacles that block air flow.
• Minimize the number of office refrigerators in your building.
• Please remember, space heaters are prohibited on LRAFB without proper approval.
• Switch off unnecessary lights, equipment, and appliances.
• Energy Savings Performance Contracts: Implementing energy saving technologies like programmable thermostats; efficient heating; improved light bulbs and fixtures. It’s a no-brainer!

Special to the Drop Zone
October is Energy Awareness Month and there are things we can all do to make more wise and effective use of our energy resources.
Little Rock Air Force Base spent more than $500,000 last month just to keep our lights on. With the rising cost of these expenses, and the effect on our environment from consumption of natural resources, it is the responsibility of all of us to take steps to conserve energy.
Everyone's efforts can make a significant impact on our budget. Last year the base saved more than $300,000 for end-of-year spending that included some needed dormitory renovations, improvements to our C-130 assault landing strip, computer replacements, and several force protection improvements.
Energy conservation means money conservation and a healthier environment.
Here are some things each person can do to save energy and money:
• Ensure thermostats are set not higher than 70 degrees F for heating and not lower than 75 degrees F for cooling.
• Lower blinds to preserve cooling during summer. Raise blinds on windows with southern exposure to take advantage of natural heat and light during the winter.
• Keep air supply and return vents clean and free of obstacles that block air flow.
• Minimize the number of office refrigerators in your building.
• Please remember, space heaters are prohibited on LRAFB without proper approval.
• Switch off unnecessary lights, equipment, and appliances.
• Energy Savings Performance Contracts: Implementing energy saving technologies like programmable thermostats; efficient heating; improved light bulbs and fixtures. It’s a no-brainer!

TOP STORY >>Airlifters deliver the goods at Balad
By Staff Sgt. LuCelia Ball
332nd Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq (AFPN) — To keep troops off the road is an important consideration in the war on terrorism. One way to keep more troops off the road is with airdrop operations.
Recently, Airmen from the 777th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron used two C-130 Hercules aircraft to drop 31 Container Delivery System bundles over a location in southwest Iraq, providing needed supplies to Iraqi border training teams
supported by the Army’s 82nd Sustainment Battalion. The supplies dropped included ice, tires, concertina wire and food.
“The purpose of an airdrop is to keep convoys off the roads, the traditional way the Army delivers supplies,” said Capt. Brad Moore, a C-130 pilot deployed from the 463rd Airlift Group at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. “An airdrop also decreases the number of ground personnel needed to secure an airfield. It’s safer for the Army and it’s safer for us to deliver this way.”
When the aircrews get advance notice for a drop, they spend their time planning the route and personnel needed, taking into consideration all possible limiting factors, as well as coordinating with all support agencies that factor into the mission.
“We’ve been doing missions like this for the last 50 years, and planning is our key to success,” said Capt. Shannon Vinson, one of the mission’s navigators.
On hand to assist the loadmasters with the cargo preparation were Army quartermasters from the 600th Quartermaster Detachment. The soldiers placed the cargo into proper drop containers and set up the parachute riggings. After that, the loadmasters ensured the load was balanced and weighted correctly on the plane.
“We train every day for this type of mission, and it was exciting to get the chance to come out here for a mission,” said Tech. Sgt. Brian Huffmeyer, a 777th EAS loadmaster.
The two flight navigators analyzed winds and other factors in the drop zone to determine the release point for the load.
The mission began after the supplies were placed in the two aircraft. The two then took off in a formation, one flying after the other, to the drop zone.
“The formation provides mutual support for the aircraft,” Captain Vinson said. “One aircraft can see possible trouble and alert the other.”
Once over the drop zone, the aircrews lowered the rear cargo doors and the loadmasters deployed the cargo loads.
“At that point, pilots put complete trust in our loadmasters in the back of the plane to make sure everything exits the aircraft safely,” said Capt. Jennifer Fuller, a 777 EAS pilot.
With the mission successfully completed, the crew turned around and returned to Balad.
“It was incredible,” said Captain Moore. “This mission was very rewarding after all the training we do. It was a great feeling to actually get out there and complete the mission and help someone out.”
