TOP STORY >> U.S. Air Force, Canadians work together to improve C-130J maintenance

By Staff Sgt. Jeremy McGuffin

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The 19th Airlift Wing trained with the Royal Canadian Air Force in a cold weather joint force exercise in Toronto, Canada.

The focus of the training is to improve coordination between both countries’ C-130J experts. During the training event, lasting from Oct. 30 to Nov. 9, 2017, maintenance crews work around-the-clock to ensure aircraft are running smoothly and in the air.

Maintainers need to be ready for any issue that may occur when aircraft malfunction.  Although maintainers can’t foresee every possible issue, they improvise by relying on support and resources from either their home base or from their current location.

“Our biggest challenge has been that our parts kit is very limited,” said Master Sgt. Steve Beiswenger, 19th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron superintendent. “All of the parts that have broken this trip were ones we didn’t have, so we had to call on our Canadian partners for assistance.”

Working with the Royal Canadian Air Force proved invaluable when a critical system failed; possibly removing an aircraft from operations for three days, but was turned into a four-hour repair.

“We had a hydraulic line from the steering system crack,” Beiswenger said. “Since the Canadians didn’t have that specific part, we contacted their fabrication shop and they were able to manufacture the lines based on our technical orders, saving us a lot of downtime.”

The maintenance team here has already faced unique challenges by generating as many aircraft as possible for training with little downtime. This exercise helps them be ready for any deployment conditions.

“The biggest constraint we had at the beginning of the training, but have sorted out now, is being able to work with the Canadians to source the parts we need efficiently,” said 1st Lt. Ryan Landon, 19th Maintenance Group officer in charge of maintenance operations. “We have to be resourceful and think outside of the box to make the mission happen.” 

Keeping Combat Airlift airborne 24/7 is what maintenance excels at and it doesn’t matter if it’s training or in a deployed location.

“Wherever the planes go, maintenance follows,” Landon said.

TOP STORY >> Reveille, Retreat time change

By Airman 1st Class Grace Nichols

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The times for the playing of reveille and retreat over the base giant voice system will change Nov. 10, 2017.

Reveille signals the start of the duty day, and retreat marks the end of the duty day and precedes the playing of the national anthem. 

“We are adjusting our bugle calls to match times more commonly seen at other bases,” said Col. Gerald Donohue, 19th Airlift Wing and installation Commander. “In addition, we anticipate it easing traffic flow as the new times avoid peak periods. These calls remind us of our rich military heritage and instill in us a sense of pride and appreciation for that legacy.”

The time changes are as follow:

Revelry: 6:30 a.m., formerly 7 a.m.

Retreat: 5 p.m., formerly 4:30 p.m.

According to AFPAM 34-1202, 14.10.1, because “To the Colors” is played during reveille and the national anthem during retreat, these actions should be taken when the music sounds:

Service members in uniform (including physical training uniform): stop, stand at attention and salute. Those in the process of taking the physical fitness test are exempted from rendering courtesies.

Service members out of uniform or veterans: stop, stand at attention, salute.

Civilians: place right hand, with a hat if wearing one, over their heart.

Personnel in Vehicles: pull over safely and stop for the duration of the music, while sitting respectfully at attention.

“Because it’s a change there will be an adjustment period,” said Tech. Sgt. Tahlia Robinson, 19th Airlift Wing Command Post training NCO in charge. “Remember to be sensitive to others and understand that it’s a work in progress as we continue to honor our flag.”

For more information about the changes, contact the 19th AW Command Post at (501) 987-1900.

TOP STORY >> 314th tail flash displays historical link

By Staff Sgt. Dana J. Cable

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Team Little Rock will soon start to notice new colors flying in the air and parked on the taxiway as the 314th Airlift Wing has designed a new flash that now officially dons one of its C-130Js. 

After more than a year of planning and coordination, a C-130 assigned to the 314th AW now displays a new completed tail flash. 

“The 314th AW 75th anniversary was this year and the new tail flash heraldry incorporates unique elements of both the wing’s World War II and Korean War combat airlift history,” said Mark Wilderman, former 314th AW historian.

Two of those unique elements being the Douglas C-47 Skytrain and the C-119 Flying Boxcar aircraft silhouettes on the left side of the tail flash. On the right side are two airdrop parachute silhouettes.

“The two parachutes represent the wing’s primary mission to provide the world’s best combat airlift training, as well as the wing’s primary historical mission of the aerial delivery of combat troops and equipment,” Wilderman said.

The 314th tail flash is trading in the old orange background, and replacing it with blue and yellow, the primary 314th AW colors. 

The blue color alludes to the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations, while yellow denotes the sun and the excellence required of Air Force personnel.  

The words “The Rock” are still the forefront of the tail flash, with the addition of a sword in the background. 

“The sword symbolizes both the wing’s commitment to the United States defense and our integral role in Air Education and Training Command,” Wilderman said.

The tail flashes will be changed over time whenever an aircraft is due for corrosion control maintenance, according to Tech. Sgt. Adrian Sauceda, 19th Maintenance Squadron NCO in charge of corrosion control.

For this first tail flash the corrosion control flight printed out vinyl stickers to be placed on the tail flash. In the future, they will be painted on.

With the new tail flash design approved, corrosion control Airmen were able to complete the tail flash in a week’s time. 

“The guys downstairs busted their butts this week and knocked it out,” Sauceda said. “They didn’t complain once, they just got it done.”

TOP STORY >> Red Ribbon Week: Drug prevention starts with kids

By 2nd Lt. Hunter Rininger

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

At most Air Force installations, the Drug Demand Reduction program and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment program are very much separate entities. But here at Little Rock AFB, ADAPT and DDR have teamed up to prevent alcohol and drug abuse amongst service members, their families and the local community.

DDR and ADAPT, the first collaborating teams in the U.S. Air Force, providing prevention and outreach education to base constituents that focus on substance abuse prevention. The ADAPT team focuses on providing the local community with outreach through early drug awareness education. The National Red Ribbon Campaign began in 1985 to provide drug awareness to youth. 

“Our goal is to increase our prevention efforts across the Wing in hopes that it will increase the number of self-referrals and decrease the number of substance related incidents that occur each year,” said SSgt Leah Chhoeun, ADAPT Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge here. “Additionally, we hope to increase members’ knowledge of responsible drinking and healthy alternative coping skills.”

This year, LRAFB restored its support in providing drug awareness at Arnold Drive Elementary, Tolleson Elementary and Lawson Elementary. The team serviced over 1,000 students (Pre-K through 5th grade) in the local community. Local ADAPT Counselors, Marine Detachment Substance Abuse Control Officer/Specialists, DDR personnel and 19 SFS K-9 Unit spoke at the schools during Red Ribbon Week.

The team’s efforts have expanded across the Air Force. This year the team developed a prevention model that is currently being used Air Force-wide. The team has managed to double its budget for 2018, which will lead to an expansion of the team’s outreach programs. 

As Red Ribbon Week comes to an end, it’s important to remember that the ADAPT and DDR programs at LRAFB are available year-round. The team’s mission is to increase self-identification with any substance abuse issues and their mission can only be accomplished if service members, their families, and the ADAPT/DDR coalition members continue to be mindful of others’ needs. 

For more information, contact the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment facility at 501-987-7338. Their office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

TOP STORY >> Crew chief key to combat airlift

By Airman 1st Class Codie Collins

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Did you know that every C-130J on Little Rock Air Force base has a special key?  This key doesn’t start the plane, it doesn’t open the plane, in fact it has no practical purpose with the plane at all. Yet a select few crew chiefs have the honor of receiving this key where exceptional work is the standard.

Little Rock AFB received a C-130J from Lockheed Martin, and its key was awarded to Senior Airman Julian Santiago, 19th Maintenance Squadron dedicated crew chief, Oct. 19, 2017.

There are currently 28 C-130s assigned to the 19th AW and there is a key for each one. The keys to each individual aircraft are presented to knowledgeable crew chiefs who stand out in their career field. Once a key has been given, no other crew chief will receive a duplicate key to the same aircraft.

“It’s an honor to receive a key,” Santiago said. “I work hard, I but was surprised to be chosen. It’s humbling to be the dedicated crew chief for the last C-130J to come to Little Rock AFB.”

A crew chief must be technically proficient and prove themselves to be a hardworking, dedicated Airman to be eligible to receive a key.

“Santiago sees tasks through to the end and takes pride in his plane,” said Staff Sgt. Jordan Scott, 19th Maintenance Squadron crew chief.

Sweating through the scorching summer heat, bundling up for the winter snow or facing any other element Mother Nature summons, crew chiefs keep Combat Airlift flying through their continuous dedication to their craft.

“Crew chiefs receive the key to the aircraft because we put a lot of hard work into fixing our planes,” Santiago said. “It’s a 24-hour operation to keep the aircraft safe and in the air. Without maintainers, the planes wouldn’t fly.”

Maintaining the C-130J routinely enables Team Little Rock Airmen to perform Combat Airlift by providing quick supply to humanitarian airlift relief to disaster victims and airdrop supplies and troops into the heart of contingency operations in hostile areas.

TOP STORY >> Physical therapy knows your pain

By Maj. Melissa Rose

Physical Therapy Flight commander

Did you know that October was designated as National Physical Therapy Month? This year, Physical Therapists around the nation are using their month to raise awareness about the human toll on the opioid epidemic. 

Since 1999, the amount of opioids prescribed per person in the US has tripled, to the point where statistically we could medicate every American continuously for three weeks. Along with this, unintentional overdoses on opioids have also tripled. 

Lastly, did you know that if you are Active Duty and on opioids or any class 3 narcotics for more than three months, you will likely have to face an MEB? 

Physical Therapy is an amazing tool that can help you overcome pain. Randomized controlled studies have proven that exercise is one of the most effective treatments in overcoming acute and chronic pain. 

Also, did you know that as of January 2015, all states have granted Physical Therapy direct access capabilities?  This means that all patients have the capability to seek some level of treatment from a licensed physical therapist without a prescription or referral from a physician. 

For Little Rock Air Force Base, the 19th Medical Group Physical Therapy Clinic will evaluate and treat any personnel on active-duty status with a musculoskeletal injury or pain. All you have to do is call our clinic to make an appointment. 

We also provide running analysis clinics to all Active Duty, retirees, and dependents. These services are also scheduled at the Physical Therapy clinic. 

Finally, we also provide semi-custom insoles for all DoD beneficiaries, you may walk-in for this service, free of charge. Our therapists are skilled in orthopedics, sports medicine, dry needling, and spinal manipulation, to name a few of our specialties. 

To learn more, feel free to stop by our clinic and pick up a pamphlet or call 501- 987-7466.

TOP STORY >> FY17 closeout complete

By Maj.  Casey Walterscheid

19th Contracting Squadron commander

For Airmen of the 19th Contracting Squadron and the 19th Comptroller Squadron, October is a new year – marking the end of September’s crunch time. During which, 19 CONS and 19 CPTS, in concert with the numerous squadron, group and wing resource advisors across Team Little Rock feverishly completed their work to ensure proper execution of each budget on base. 

The month of September is the Federal equivalent of Black Friday. 19th CONS obligated a total of 42.5 million dollars in Fiscal Year 2017; nearly one third of those obligations came in the month of September alone. As our Air Force gets smaller and more efficient, contracted team members provide us with key support to ensure Airmen can focus on other aspects of the mission. Through service contracts, the 19th Medical Group was supplemented with 51 additional healthcare providers, increasing capacity by 53 percent. Construction contracts allowed for much needed improvement in Child Development Center and Youth Center facilities. Additionally, upgrades to the existing base entry guardhouses increased the safety and security of 19th Security Forces Squadron personnel as they defend the base. Whether it’s purchasing a new line of fitness equipment for the base fitness center or funding and signing services contracts for the seemingly unending line of road construction on Arnold and Chief Williams Drives, the 19th Airlift Wing’s two smallest squadrons make their impact known across Little Rock AFB and the local community – especially in September.

The impact to our community partners is significant, as well. This past year, 19th CONS awarded contracts totaling $8.2 million to employ companies located in Arkansas. $23.8 million were signed on contracts with corporations performing services in the state of Arkansas. This federal funding feeds directly back into the local area.

As with January’s New Year, the Fiscal New Year brings with it a proverbial reset button and a time of reflection as we move forward into Fiscal Year 2018. The next time September rolls around, recognize your contracted partners for their contributions to national defense and local commerce alike – and know your 19th CONS and 19th CPTS personnel are driving hard to execute the funding that keeps Combat Airlift on target, anywhere, anytime. 

TOP STORY >> Cyber security: Every Airman’s responsibility

By Airman 1st Class Grace Nichols

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

More than ever before, the world is connected to a vast cyberspace domain. The internet touches most aspects of daily life. With one click of a mouse or swipe of a finger, people can access volumes of information available to all users. 

This is why it’s imperative for service members and government employees to use their situational awareness when operating within the Department of Defense network, as well as their personal computers. 

“According to the local Little Rock Federal Bureau of Investigations report, the highest cyber threat to us in Arkansas is a cyber-scam of non-payment or non-delivery,” said Master Sgt. Travis Taylor, 19th Communications Squadron Wing Information Office section chief. “This scam cost Arkansas residents $787,181 in 2016 alone.”

October is the month to brush up on online safety as it marks the beginning of National Cyber Security Awareness month. 

“The purpose of this month is to raise awareness and mitigate the threats we face in cyberspace every day,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Daniel Presland, 19th CES commander. “We want Airmen to understand that the actions they take online have implications in the real world and that there are bad cyber actors, such as cybercriminals, looking to take advantage of those unprepared.”

Shopping, banking and connecting with loved ones have become normal online activities. As a result, individuals increasingly share more sensitive information that’s highly sought after by cybercriminals – which is why it’s critical to secure network connections.

“One way Airmen can increase their cyber awareness is by performing ‘cyber hygiene,’” Presland said. “That means taking care of those easy, but fundamental, aspects of cybersecurity.”

This includes, but is not limited to:

Ensuring antivirus software and security patches are up-to-date

Not clicking on suspicious links 

Strengthening passwords

Removing common access cards from computers

Encrypting emails 

Configuring privacy settings on social media accounts

Securing cell phones with password protection

“Cybercriminals will use any vulnerability that exists on your computer’s software or infrastructure in order to compromise your machine,” Presland said. “By taking those fundamental steps, you are one-step ahead of the adversary.”

The goal is to secure Little Rock Air Force Base’s network and ensure outside threats do not gain access to information that could compromise base security and its resources. 

“Everybody has a piece in ensuring the cyberspace domain remains a safe and secure space to operate within,” Presland said. “From the newest Airmen to the highest ranking official, if we don’t take vital steps to make sure everyone understands the threats, then we are at risk of adding to those vulnerabilities.”

Virtually every mission across the range of military operations depends on cybersecurity. 

“Just like air, space and land, we must have command and control of cyberspace,” Presland said. “We can’t launch aircraft if digital systems are compromised, hacked or brought down, because we lose that vital command and control feature across the base.” 

Every time Airmen connect to a network, whether at home or at work, decisions are made that affect cybersecurity. From the information Airmen choose to share, to the links they click, online activities can either enable or prevent attacks and intrusions.

TOP STORY >> Healthy eating advances AF readiness, mission success

By Airman 1st Class Grace Nichols

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Being “Fit to fight” is a widespread concept throughout the Air Force, but fitness isn’t confined to exercise.

Making smart food choices can contribute to encouraging increased physical activity and improved nutritional decisions.

There are many resources available to Airmen, such as the Department of Defense’s Go for Green program, or G4G. Available at most DOD dining facilities, G4G uses a green, yellow and red color-code to identify nutritious foods and make healthy food choices easier. Foods are organized based on their nutrition quality, which can impact an Airman’s fitness, strength and health. 

“G4G helps service members make better choices which will give them more energy and in turn accomplish the mission,” said Tech. Sgt.  Danielle Joe, 19th Force Support Squadron Hercules Dining Facility manager. “Most people want to make healthy choices, but sometimes get overwhelmed with options and different ingredients. Our aim is to simplify the decision making process by identifying healthy choices.”

When selecting from the dining facility menu, keep in mind the significance of these labels:

• Green: eat often

• Yellow: eat occasionally

• Red: eat rarely

Dietitians and sports nutritionists are also available to offer free advice and counseling on health related issues.

“We try to bring to light that it’s not just about the types of food but the relationship you have with those foods,” said Jill Hinsley, 19th Aeromedical Squadron sports dietetics nutritionist. “It’s more than good and bad foods, it’s how it (food choices) can be better.”

Following these guidelines can promote a healthy lifestyle and reduce potential illness:

• Balancing calories is beneficial, but food should be selected on nutritional value rather than calorie content

• Have a colorful plate by eating at least 4.5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day with the focus on vegetables to avoid excess sugar, including a variety of dark-green, red and orange vegetables, beans and peas

• Have a palm-sized portion of protein with each meal to promote healthy muscles

• Eat whole grains, the equivalent of at least three 1-ounce servings a day to potentially reduce blood cholesterol levels

• Don’t be afraid of fat in foods — healthy amounts can be filling and reduce overeating

• Eat real food, which are items that can be hunted or grown

“Every individual is different; other than allergies and portion sizes, the diets should be very similar,” Hinsley said.

TOP STORY >> Good habits boost fiscal fitness

By Airman 1st Class Grace Nichols

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Just like preparing for a physical fitness test, there’s no shortcut to “fiscal fitness” and an excellent credit score. There are steps that Airmen can take today to improve credit scores and avoid future financial woes.

The Airman & Family Readiness Center at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, offers a Managing Credit Class, which covers the basics of building and maintaining a good credit score. Financial advisors can help get budgets on track to start prevent overuse of credit cards, thus increasing credit scores.

“Service members need to make sure they keep their credit in check because it could potentially affect their ability to get or maintain their security clearance,” said Peggy Bennett, A&FRC community readiness consultant. “We have seen members lose their security clearance due to bad credit. Your credit report and history not only effect your buying power, but they can also affect future employment and your insurance.”

Following these simple tips from the A&FRC can boost future credit health:

• Have and use credit cards responsibly, keeping low or no balances at the end of the billing cycle.

• Pay all bills on time and have installment loans for vehicles or mortgages

• Save for emergencies so you don’t have an unexpected bill on a credit card without the ability to pay it off.

• Don’t charge items to a card and wait to pay them off for long periods of time. An account that is in excess of 20 percent of the available credit limit is going to hurt scores.

• Create a workable budget, and build and maintain an emergency fund. 

• Keep debt to income ratio (non-mortgage) below 20 percent.

• Use credit cards for safety and convenience, but zero the card out at least once a month.

“The Air Force expects integrity, solid credibility and reliability from our Airmen,” said Master Sgt. Carlo Nino, 19th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron first sergeant. “It is particularly important to maintain personal financial affairs because it doesn’t just affect the Airmen, it definitely impacts the Air Force mission too.”

Bad credit scores affects a borrower’s interest rates as well as insurance rates for everything from renters insurance to health and life insurance. High balances on credit cards, late or missed payments, maxed out accounts and overdrafts on checking accounts are the main causes of poor credit.

“Usually the quickest fix for a bad credit score is to get it down to less than 10 percent of the available balance,” said Richard Tomaskovic, A&FRC community readiness consultant. “Setting up a bill payment calendar, making a budget and sticking to it is also important, but will take longer.”

Key factors for credit health are credit card payment history and amounts owed, according to Tomaskovic, who added that these contribute to 65 percent of a credit score. Other factors include length of credit history, types of credit used and new accounts.

For more information about building credit or to meet with a financial advisor, contact the A&FRC at 501-987-2667. 

TOP STORY >> Tailor made: EFMP families treated to a special day of play

By Tammy L. Reed

19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Team Little Rock’s Exceptional Family Member Program coordinators recently teamed with Camp Aldersgate counselors in Little Rock to host a Family Adventure Day for all family members in the program.

Camp Aldersgate is Arkansas’ only non-profit organization dedicated to serving children and youth with disabilities and seniors in a camp environment. The camp is located on more than 100 acres in Little Rock, minutes away from Arkansas Children’s Hospital.

EFMP merged with the camp for a day of fun and new activities for the special needs children and their families in the program.

“The main purpose is that families can come here as a family with a special needs member, and they all can have a good time, and they’ll be around other families with similar circumstances,” said Steve Jones, Airman and Family Readiness Center EFMP coordinator. “Those kids can intermingle with each other, and can say, ‘Hey, I’m not the only one around here with, maybe, an issue.’ So it brings people together.”

Camp activities included arts and crafts, archery, canoeing, fishing, disc golf and other events such as a carousel ride and ice cream at the end of the day. The activities were hosted on a campus specifically designed for people in wheelchairs, or needing walkers, or just needing to express themselves in ways that might draw unwanted attention elsewhere.

They put harnesses on and negotiated the rocks on the climbing wall. There were some times that were challenging for them; some of the easy parts were challenging for a few. But it was no big deal because the parents were there to give them a hand, Jones added.

C.J. Moorman did just that: he gave his son, Lance, a hand with his fishing rod as they trolled for the big catfish inhabiting the camp lake. Moorman, who works at the Airmen and Family Readiness Center here, and his wife Cindy, brought their four sons and six grandchildren to the event.

“Steve sets things up like this. He stays in contact with all the folks who want to be in the program; he has a list and he keeps track of all the people,” Moorman said, “then he does events like this where he gets people out in the community doing things that people with special needs can actually take advantage of.”

“It’s really neat to see the grandkids interact with Lance and JoJo and other children with disabilities as well,” Cindy added. “We’re having a great time.”
