The Air Force Space Command’s Space Training Evolution Plan Team won the 2013 Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award.

The STEP Team competed against 26 other teams at the Air Force level with their devel-opment of the Standard Space Trainer which revolutionizes the way we train our space operators across the Air Force.

Two Schriever Air Force Base space-op-erator training units directly contributed to the team’s success.

The SST is operated by the 50th Operations Support Squadron while the U.S. Air Force

Warfare Center houses the Distributed Mission Operations Center for Space facility. Other Air Force units partnered with them to create the AFSPC STEP team, which was designed to develop an efficient and inter-changeable space-operator training system. This had never been done until a few years ago.

Mike Newman, Space and Missile Systems Center Training and Acquisition Office chief, assembled and lead the team, which also includes the Headquarters Air Force Space Command, Air Education and Training Command, U.S. Strategic Command, the Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation

and Air Force Research Laboratory members.“It all began around 2004 when we decided

something needed to be done,” said Newman.Newman was referring to the way training

for operators used to be handled.“There was no one universal system,”

Newman said. “Training consisted of, for some, using a test bed as an instructor and not every training unit had one. This led to a non-consistent training with operators.”

Newman said this posed a problem, which could be solved with research and a team who was willing to work together.

The Airmen and Family Readiness Center is a quality of life resource available to Schriever community members that they may not know how to use properly.

Active-duty members are given a briefing on the services available at the A&FRC when they arrive at Schriever; however, their spous-es are also eligible to take advantage of those services and that’s where A&FRC staff feels there is a disconnect with the community.

“Spouses can utilize programs, any program or class offered,” said Andrea Hernandez, community readiness consul-tant. “We don’t get as many spouses as we’d like.”

The A&FRC exists to “improve the qual-ity of life for military members and their families by providing resources and services to achieve work/life balance, and strengthen links to the community in order to optimize readiness and retention in support of the Air Force mission.”

Regular program offerings include cours-es for Transition Assistance, Relocation Assistance, Personal Financial Management, Volunteer Resources, Community Assistance, Family Readiness and Employment Assistance.

“This is one of the first places a spouse should stop when they arrive, just to see if we have anything for them,” Hernandez said.

Hernandez added that there are a num-ber of programs and services offered by the A&FRC that people might not be aware of. Books and electronic resources are available through the Discovery Center, parents just arriving on base can get information about local schools and new military spouses can take advantage of Heartlink courses.

Heartlink courses are offered one to two

times per year as a way to introduce spouses new to the military, five years or less, to the base leadership and benefits available to them as a military spouse.

“It’s an informal meeting with the wing commander and all leadership to explain the spouse’s role in executing the mission,” said Kendra Humphrey, community readiness specialist and relocation manager. “They get a coin from (the wing commander), take a tour of the Restricted Area and meet with key spouses.”

“It’s so well worth it, just to get a feel for what’s on the installation,” Hernandez said.

The next Heartlink course is scheduled for April 2. Anyone interested in attending should contact A&FRC.

Another initiative sparked by the A&FRC during the last two years is the Key Spouse program.

“Key spouses act as a liaison between mili-tary and civilian life, keeping lines of com-munication open,” Humphrey said.

Key spouses work with the base com-manders, first sergeants and the A&FRC to inform, support and refer family members to

2nd Air Force

KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. (AFNS) — Growing up, I was a big fan of Muhammad Ali. He was the world heavy-weight boxing champion and unashamedly referred to himself as “The Greatest.” I viv-idly remember a reporter asking Ali, “When did you know that you were ‘The Greatest?’” Before Ali could answer, the reporter offered, “Perhaps it was when you knocked out George Foreman in 1974?”

Ali shook his head in disagreement, so the reporter continued.

“Maybe it was when you destroyed Sonny Liston in the world heavyweight champion-ship in 1964?” Again, Ali shook his head.

Then Ali told the story of when he knew he was the greatest. It happened in 1973 when he faced Ken Norton at the San Diego Sports Arena. As Ali entered the arena, the crowed was in a frenzy, cheering “Ali, Ali, Ali!”

The world champion stepped in the ring and quickly found himself overmatched against the bigger Norton, suffering a broken jaw in the second round. Ali found the strength to finish the 12-round bout, but suffered only his second defeat in 43 professional fights. Through this trial, after having his jaw broken

and being knocked senseless but somehow remaining on his feet, is when Ali truly came to believe he was the greatest.

To prove that point, Ali went on to beat Ken Norton in their next two matches.

Being knocked out and having to bounce back is all but inevitable for most of us. This is especially true for those of us in the busi-ness of delivering air power for America. Our mission can be stressful and those stresses can be further complicated by the everyday challenges of life. The good news is that, regardless of our situation, there is always a helping hand. The act of reaching out to these individuals may be difficult, but should never be thought of as a sign of weakness. In fact, recognizing you need help, and seeking that help, only builds resilience and strengthens your character. Knowledge of this indirect benefit is well documented throughout history.

Per John Heywood, an English author and playwright in the early 16th century; “If you will call troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.”

We all need help every now and then. Some individuals feel very comfortable asking for

financial, spiritual, physical, or emotional help during difficult times; however, many others are unable to recognize when help is needed, or are just reluctant to ask. For those who prefer to do things themselves, so as not to burden others, the situation or experience can eventually become such a weight that the individual is unable to go at it alone or is al-ready in over their head.

Air Force physicians, mental health provid-ers, chaplains, first sergeants, commanders, and wingmen are all there to help. There are also many programs that allow you to talk or research your situations, such as our family readiness centers, our Military Crisis Line, the Air Force Suicide Prevention web site, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, and The Airman’s Guide for Assisting Personnel in Distress. But the fact remains, if you don’t reach out, it’s difficult to offer assistance.

As military members, your country relies on your service and we understand the burden that can be levied upon you and your families. Always remember, you are not alone with this and someone is there to help.

My wish to you this holiday season is that you will ask for help if you need it. Just remem-ber that even “The Greatest” had to bounce back to truly realize his greatness.

Chief’s CornerReflect for the future

By Senior Master Sgt. David Pesch50th Operations Group

An opportunity arose in November when a small team of Schriever NCOs visited some of our out-standing Americans at the Bruce McCandless State Veterans Home in Florence, Colorado. The experience is always rewarding — getting to hear the stories and experiences of our great veterans and what it was like to walk in their shoes more than 50 years ago fighting for freedom and sacrificing so much to do so.

One veteran who particularly stood out was 95-year-old John who fought in World War II. During the conversation, John pulled out two photographs from his pocket, one of him in his naval uniform and one of his family. He was extremely proud of both — these

seemed to be the two most important things in his life. His eyes brightened as he described his time in the Navy and the friends he made serving his country and how they took care of each other during those trying times of world history. The other part of the conversation focused on his family and how proud he is of his children.

It was an honor to listen and talk with John that day, and I was humbled to have had the opportu-nity to hear about John’s life — his story, a veteran’s story. It made me think about my experiences in the Air Force, in particular the piece about taking care of each other. As I was saying goodbye, John said “Thank you for your service, and watch out, you’ll be in here soon.” I thought about what John said driving

home. Time goes fast and as we get older, it seems to speed up and opportunities to make a difference can sometimes escape us.

As 2014 ended and everyone reflects on the year, what are you proud of in that small snapshot of time? What is your story? Have you helped someone or lis-tened to someone to make a difference in their lives? Did you make time for your Airmen? Have you made someone better personally or professionally? John made me better and opened my life aperture and reminded me what is really important. We all serve our Air Force, our country, families and friends — to what degree we do that varies, as some leave more than others. John is still leaving a legacy of wisdom and proud service to his country and to our generation.

By Airman 1st Class Rose Gudex21st Space Wing Public Affairs Office

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — “I’ve lost friends to drinking and driv-ing. One of my best friends was out on his motorcycle and got hit by a drunk driver. He didn’t have a chance — I lost my friend that day. I just do my part to try and save that from happening to someone else.”

Staff Sgt. Jefrey Davis, 4th Space Operations Squadron mobile maintenance supervisor and Front Range Airmen Against Drunk Driving president, has a personal con-nection to drunken driving, so he volunteers his time to Airmen Against Drunk Driving in an attempt to get the driving under the influence numbers down to zero.

Airmen Against Drunk Driving, com-monly known as A2D2 here, is an Airmen-run organization formed at Schriever Air Force Base in 2012 that assists military members, their family members and civil-ian employees who have been drinking and need a ride to get home safely.

“We serve the entire Front Range area, including Schriever, Peterson and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station. Our driving range is within the Colorado Springs, Falcon, Fountain and Manitou Springs city limits,” Davis said. “We shouldn’t be your only plan. We are a last resort.”

Hours of operation for A2D2 are from 10 p.m.-3 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights as well as the nights prior to holidays and family days. To obtain a ride, simply call 552-AADD (2233) and tell them your first name, location, number of people in the party and how to be recognized.

“You can also get A2D2 support for private

events,” Davis explained. “Contact any one of our officers through the group (organization) box — [email protected] — or talk to your unit representative.”

A common belief among Airmen is that if you call for A2D2 assistance, there will

be repercussions based on location, age or other reasons. A2D2 does not condone underage drinking; however, they do not ask your age. Their primary goal is to get anyone under the influence home safely and without incident.

“This is a great organization because it isn’t restricted to a squadron or base,” Davis said. “We help and serve three bases by pro-viding them life-saving and career-saving rides home.”

Recently, the A2D2 board elected new of-ficers to serve the Front Range community and get the word out about the opportunities available. The new team consists of: Davis, president; Senior Airman Sven Martinez, vice president; Airman 1st Class Rose Gudex, secretary; Airman Aliyah Yates, vice secre-tary; Airman 1st Class Mickey Szabat, trea-surer; Airman 1st Class Steve Evans, vice treasurer and Master Sgt. Jason Worcester, senior NCO advisor.

Having just taken over Dec. 8, the group is working to make the organization even better for those using the program and those volunteering.

“The previous leadership set us up with some great opportunities,” Davis said. “One thing we want to provide is gifts and prizes for a volunteer incentive program to encour-age frequent volunteers — from coins and hoodies to gas cards.”

Interested volunteers should contact their unit representatives or just show up to the Eclipse Café at 10 p.m. on a night the service is available.

Whether you’re in it for the prizes, a good performance report bullet or you genuinely want to prevent people from driving under the influence, each volunteer keeps another drunk driver off the road and potentially saves lives.

After two days of wintery weather, snow accumulated at the 50th Space Wing Headquarters Tuesday at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo.Personnel have different avenues to ensure they receive information about road conditions and base closures or delays from wing leadership. These include the Schriever website and Facebook page, the Snow Call hotline at 719-567-SNOW (7669), and local radio and television stations. Safety is a top priority when making all reporting decisions. Commuters should take their time, drive defensively, and always notify their supervisor if road conditions are more severe for their personal commute to Schriever and if they’ll need to arrive at work later than scheduled. For more information, read the Snow Call article online.

“It took a lot of work to say the least,” said Newman. “And the system is still continu-ing to grow.”

He added that when his team developed the SST, it felt as though they were chang-ing the world.

“We are preparing for the future, the space future,” he said.

According to Newman, the SST has the capability to provide both crew and posi-tional training, but more importantly is a dedicated trainer, built for instruction. It offers enhanced instructor tools and ca-pabilities like fast forward, rewind, book-mark and replay mode. Instructors also can run multiple independent scenarios simultaneously.

“This was a huge thing for the space opera-tors,” he added.

The project was envisioned as a cost ef-fective, quality training system built on a

common training architecture and it has been just that.

As for winning the award, Newman said it was an added bonus.

“It felt great to be recognized for our work,” he said. “We didn’t actually think we’d make it this far.”

He jokingly added the STEP team all thought cyber would win.

“However, the team as a whole made it possible with the way we worked together,” he said.

Gen. John E. Hyten, Air Force Space Command commander, presented the team with their award during an all-call at the Space and Missile Systems Center Nov. 20, 2014, in California. He commended the team for their hard work and achievement.

“The key piece of the puzzle was the stan-dard space trainer,” said Hyten. “We needed an emulator of what the operator was going to see on the floor.”

And that’s exactly what the STEP Team did.“And now we can emulate that for pennies

on the dollar compared to what it was,” he added. “The team who did all that work has been recognized.”

appropriate base agencies. Humphrey explained that this can mean anything from offering deployment support to a listening ear when necessary. The pro-gram began with just 13 members and has expanded to 60 spouses.

A&FRC also has programs for those looking to expand their family. Bundles for Babies classes are offered monthly, which give expecting parents assistance with planning for their new arrival. The classes cover topics such as finan-cial planning, dealing with stress and where to find resources both on and off base.

For those with children, Give Parents a Break and Parents Day Out are offered monthly for those needing some respite care. Give Parents a Break is available through referral only, while Parents Day Out is available without a referral.

The A&FRC also offers specialized programs throughout the year to assist customers with specific needs and areas of interest. Some of the programs offered during the past year included LinkedIn seminars, which serve as a way to help

both active duty and their spouses learn to navigate the social networking site in their search for employment.

“That’s the way employment, profes-sional employment searches are trend-ing,” Hernandez said. “It’s also a good way to see what’s out there.”

Military spouses looking for em-ployment might want to stop in at the A&FRC before heading to recruiting or temp agencies.

“The Air Force has developed a career committee specifically to help spouses every time they relocate,” Hernandez said. “We’re big on information and re-ferrals, and we get spouses connected to the community.”

Life’s little stresses got you down? A&FRC has an answer for that too.

Military and Family Life Counselors are available, by appointment, to meet with military members and their fami-lies to assist with short-term life skills and military lifestyle issues. These non-medical counseling services are avail-able at no-cost to military members and their families.

“You need to call for an appoint-ment, but they can meet you anywhere,” Hernandez said. “They’re a good re-source for life issues.”

For more information, visit the A&FRC in Building 101 or call 567-3920.

50th Space Communications Squadron

This February, Schriever will undergo its second U.S. Cyber Command-directed Command Cyber Readiness Inspection. The 50th Space Communications Squadron is determined to improve the base’s showing this year.

“Network security is everyone’s responsibility,” said Lt. Col. David Case, 50 SCS commander, “We have to rely heavily on user compliance and assistance to securely operate and defend base networks, and to fulfill our primary mission of delivering secure communication for the warfighter. Some of the more familiar efforts are the ‘Comply to Connect’ initiative and allowing our technicians to remotely repair vulnerable machines.”

During the CCRI, a Defense Information Systems Agency Field Security Operations team will meet with Schriever information assurance personnel.

“They will visit facilities with Secure Internet Protocol

Router Network and Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network machines to validate accreditations, enclave/net-work security, perform network-based vulnerability scans, and assess compliance with Department of Defense informa-tion assurance policies,” said Wardell Adams, 50 SCS Plans and Resources Flight chief.

As part of the CCRI process, the evaluators will deter-mine the base’s cyber readiness and will evaluate units’ knowledge of the protocols and standards required to keep the base networks safe. To stay ahead of the curve, 50 SCS is stressing the importance of the weekly SIPRNet up days.

As part of 50th Space Wing Commander Col. Bill Liquori’s “Comply to Connect” policy, all SIPRNet workstations must be powered up and connected to the network every Wednesday to receive the latest security updates. Systems that fail to be powered on and connected will be discon-nected from the network.

Base users can pitch in to help keep their workstations safe for use. One of the easiest ways to help out is to restart

workstations at the end of the work day to allow patches to be applied. NIPR workstations should always remain on so that they can receive the latest security updates. Additionally, us-ers can assist the 50 SCS by remaining vigilant and verifying links before they visit untrusted sites or click on untrusted email attachments and links. As a reminder, personal media devices, such as mp3 players, and removable flash media devices are not allowed to connect to any DOD information system for any reason.

To ensure network compliance remains a year-round focus, measures are already in place to ensure security updates are kept current. Some of these measures, like the SIPRNet “Comply to Connect” policy, are user-intensive and require everyone to pitch in. Others, like scanning and patching, are a regular battle rhythm for the squadron.

Case added, “Technology can only do so much to protect a system before the human element becomes the dominant factor. Securing the network is a collaborative effort and it cannot be done without your help.”

Keeping network secure is everyone’s responsibility

Free tax preparation, advice available to military familiesBy Nick Simeone

Defense Media Activity

WASHINGTON — With the new year comes the annual dread of tax-filing sea-son and the confusion and stress that can go along with it, especially for military families whose tax returns can be further complicated by frequent relocations, involvement of rental properties and other aspects of military life.

To ease the burden, the Defense Department, through Military OneSource, is teaming up again this year with H&R Block to offer no-cost tax preparation to the military community with a promise of guaranteed accuracy, a service that other-

wise could cost military families hundreds of dollars or more.

No-cost consultation, tax preparation

Military OneSource offers no-cost tax consultation and no-cost tax preparation and filing to service and family members, as well as to reservists regardless of activa-tion status, survivors, and separated service members until 180 days after their retire-ment, discharge or end-of-tour date, said Anthony Jackson, a Military OneSource program analyst.

Since it’s online, the service is available to eligible tax-filers regardless of where they are.

“They can do one federal and up to three state tax returns — again, at no cost to the service or family member,” Jackson said.

New features this yearThis year, he said, the service is adding

features to accommodate those with special tax-filing needs.

“If your tax situation includes rental prop-erty, charitable deductions or mortgage in-terest, this software can accommodate those particular situations,” he explained.

Tax experts also are available by phone

at no cost for anyone who may have ques-tions before they start using the online tax preparation software.

“You’re getting individuals when you’re talking — tax consultants who are thor-oughly educated on the military situation, no matter what it is,” Jackson said. They also have knowledge of special tax exemptions for combat duty and other situations unique to the military.

The tax service being offered by Military OneSource is currently active.

Military OneSource was established by the DOD in 2002 to provide comprehensive information on military life free of charge.

Volunteer to deploy as Civilian Expeditionary Workforce member

By Tech. Sgt. Natalie StanleySecretary of the Air Force Public Affairs Command Information

WASHINGTON — Air Force members now have access to HOMES.mil, a new official Defense Department website designed to modernize the way all service members search for housing when relocating.

HOMES.mil was launched for public access to provide service members seeking housing at their assigned location, and to landlords, owners and property managers to access for marketing rental properties.

“The Air Force remains fully committed to providing members access to safe, affordable, adequate and non-dis-

criminatory housing,” said Sheila Schwartz, Headquarters Air Force facilities management division housing lead.

HOMES.mil features search and display options as well as Google maps and will allow users to save listings, view photos and research housing areas. The user is also able to compare up to four different properties at one time.

Air Force members may create an account in HOMES.mil using the “create account” link on the home page. Once registration is completed, the member will receive an auto-matic welcome email to HOMES.mil and can begin using the system.

The website empowers service members with information

and tools to make smart decisions on housing property listings.

“We will continue to provide referral and relocation ser-vices to service members, their families and DOD civilians through electronic, telephone and face-to-face customer interaction,” Schwartz said.

The Air Force housing public website is still available and provides a venue for members to obtain specific installation in-formation on family, unaccompanied and privatized housing.

For questions or more information, members and their families should contact or visit their local military housing office.
