For the fifth consecutive time, Sam Bessinger, 50th Space Communications Squadron, dominated “The Murph” Fitness Challenge Friday at the Schriever Fitness Center.

With a time of 24 minutes and 20 seconds, he scored the fastest finish of “The Murph,” which consisted of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 body squats and another mile run.

The competition is part of the Schriever Fitness Center’s May Fitness Month activities. Participants who completed “The Murph” in under an hour earned an event T-shirt. “The Murph” is an athletic competi-tion named after U.S. Navy Lt. Michael Murphy who created the workout, but was later killed in action while serving in Afghanistan.

“This is my fifth year in a row doing ‘The Murph,’” said Bessinger. “I am glad it is over. I was surprised and happy that the times for the top three were close. I think it was a good competition.”

Meanwhile, Jennea Jenkins, 50th Civil Engineer Squadron, finished the Murph in 42:38 to garner the fastest time for females.

“I think ‘The Murph’ was a great competition,” Jenkins said. “I was extremely glad that I completed ‘The Murph’ and won the female competition.”

Though already in shape, Bessinger said he conducted specific workouts that are targeted for “The Murph,” in addition to his regular routine.

“I try to do more workouts that improve cardio and muscular strength at least a month before the competi-tion,” he said.

Jenkins said although she already works out regu-larly, she didn’t specifically train for the competition.

“But it also helped that the squadron has a pull-up competition,” said the recent Schriever female weight-lifting champion.

Seth Cannello, Schriever fitness and sports manager, said the event was a success.

As a wave of fresh snow blankets Colorado Springs area streets and lawns this week, it’s difficult to imagine that summer is just around the corner. Soon, many friends and families will enjoy backyard cookouts and

barbecues or take camping trips into the high country.

Unfortunately, as local residents know all too well, the heat and dry air of summer also brings a very real danger — wildfire.

Last June, the Black Forest fire consumed 14,000 acres and more than 500 homes. It

forced 39,000 people from their homes and killed two Team Schriever members. In June 2012, the Waldo Canyon fire burned 18,000 acres, 346 homes and forced 32,000 people to abandon their neighborhood.

Begin summertime wildfire prep this May

Commentary by Lt. Col. Sarah Jackson

23rd Space Communications Squadron commander

NEW BOSTON AIR FORCE STATION, N.H. — While we serve in the Air Force, we are held to many standards and expected to perform a variety of tasks. One standard that is critical to enabling us to do our various functions is fitness. It is our job to maintain fitness standards at all times.

We need to be fit all the time, not just fit to test. I know there are individuals who have the innate ability to successfully maintain fitness standards with seemingly little ef-fort. And there is always the excuse of not having time to work out. However, it is al-ways important to make time to practice, improve your fitness and establish goals. I have seen several Airmen who only put in an effort a month or two prior to the assess-ment, take the test, and then not do anything until about a month or two before the next assessment. This poses a problem because it increases the chance for injuries. At the most basic level, their bodies are not used to being worked out and in the onslaught of preparation for the impending assessment, members push themselves too hard too fast. Muscles become pulled, tendons become strained or ligaments become sprained, all because they are not used to being stressed through physical activity. Injuries can be severe enough to cause members to go on profiles, which limit their ability to perform necessary conditioning, accomplish the ac-tual fitness assessment, and in worse cases, inhibit a member’s ability to deploy, thus impacting our warfighting mission.

Think about it like cramming for a test. When you cram the information you are

about to be tested on, you put stresses upon your mind and fatigue your body. Although you might retain just enough to pass the test, you are more likely to forget the informa-tion more quickly than if you consistently studied during a longer period of time. Your muscles will forget what you “crammed” before the test, thus the next time the test comes around, the cramming starts again. Eventually, this compounds the chances of pulls, strains and sprains, which negatively impact one’s physical abilities and motiva-tion towards fitness.

Establishing good fitness habits not only minimizes these types of injuries, but it en-

sures we are ready at any time to accomplish tasks presented to us. Exercising regularly not only increases our physical abilities, but improves our mental capacity as well. When we participate in physical activities regularly, stress levels diminish, we are more resistant to illnesses, rebound from injuries quicker, and our minds are able to relax allowing for clearer thinking. Overall, we are able to focus better and increase productivity.

As Airmen, we need to find time to con-sistently get that work out in, even though we are busy. If you can get 30 minutes a day of physical activity in, it will do wonders to improve your fitness. There are so many op-tions to work out with and without a gym or special equipment. Break it up through the day if you need to; pushups at the top of the hour, 20-minute walk or jog at lunch, couple laps on the stairs during the day, sit-ups or crunches at the bottom of the hour or some other means to work into your schedule.

This is one “box” we control as individu-als. It is up to us, as Airmen, to take it upon ourselves and ensure our fitness meets or exceeds the standard. We are all adults; we shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help if we need it as not everyone is a fitness guru. But we shouldn’t count on others to “hold our hands” in this process. Take ownership of this “box,” check it and keep it checked. Remember, consistency is key. As we apply this good habit through time, our muscles will remember and become more resilient. When our muscles are more resilient, we are more resilient as a whole person. As we are individually more resilient, the more suc-cessful we are as a team.

How about a set of 25 pushups? Ready, begin.

Meet, maintain fitness standard

“We had a pretty good turn out and it appeared everyone had a good time,” Cannello said. “We had some very fit people come out, and as a group, we had some of the best times I have ever seen.”

He hoped that events like “The Murph,” triathlon, half-marathon and others will motivate members to train harder or try different types of exercises.

“I think people need to stop being afraid they won’t succeed and invest the time it takes to com-plete an event like ‘The Murph,’” Cannello contin-ued. “They’ll be glad they did.”

Bessinger plans to compete again next year if he is still stationed here. He also has some encouraging words to his competitors who wanted to dethrone him this year.

“Better luck next year,” he said.For other fitness month events, call the fitness

The Schriever Clinic recently treated a few patients for food poisoning stemming from an off-base barbecue and seeks to help Team Schriever members avoid foodborne illnesses this summer.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that roughly one in six Americans, or 48 million people, are sick-ened from foodborne diseases each year. Of these, 128,000 are hospitalized and more than 3,000 die.

A foodborne illness, also known as food poisoning, occurs when food or water con-taining bacteria, like salmonella or E. coli, parasites, viruses or toxins is ingested.

“Some common symptoms are vomiting, nausea and diarrhea,” said Senior Airman

Crystal Herrera, 21st Medical Squadron public health technician. “Unfortunately, foodborne illnesses occur more frequently in the summer months, when people attend more cookouts and barbecues.”

What’s odd is that the symptoms typi-cally don’t show up for 24 hours, according to Herrera.

“That’s a common misconception,” said Tech. Sgt. Tia Mullins, 21st Aerospace Dental Squadron flight chief. “A lot of people tend to associate foodborne illness with something they ate more recently. It can take up to 48 hours for symptoms to show up in what’s known as the incuba-tion period.”

Eight of the 15 people who attended the same barbecue wound up getting sick, ac-cording to Herrera. Three were treated at

the Schriever Clinic while five others were treated elsewhere.

Treatment for a foodborne illness typically includes prescribed antibiotics and liquids. Recovery can take several days.

Herrera and Mullins said people can avoid foodborne illnesses altogether by practicing sound food handling, including the follow-ing tips:• Wash hands thoroughly before handling

food. It’s important to wash hands again when going from handling raw food to handling cooked foods.

• Before cooking, be sure to keep all food at proper temperature. Cold food should be held at 41 degrees or below. Once cooked, hot food should be held at 135 degrees or higher.

• Do not eat, smoke or drink in the food-prep area.

• Food-prep area should be clean, to include all food contact surfaces.

• Use only one utensil for one food.• The most common mistake made during

barbecues is that food is often left out dur-ing the event. This is when food is most susceptible to bacteria. Be sure to keep food within proper temperature range. Chicken and turkey should be held at 165 degrees, beef at 160 degrees, and pork 155 degrees.Team Schriever members can find more

information on foodborne illnesses and preventing them at http://www.multiplan.com/patients/healthwell/prevention/food-borne.cfm.

Chief’s CornerOld school

By Chief Master Sgt. Joseph Bauer50th Space Wing Plans Office

This is my last Chief ’s Corner article. My last day on active duty is May 31, and I will retire with 30 years and seven days of service. During those years, I have seen many changes and not all of them lasted long — Total Quality Management, officer rank on service coat sleeves, and fabric fastener name patches on battle dress uniforms to name a few. One change that has lasted and made a positive impact is the desktop computer. My first NCO in charge, who joined the military in 1964, thought he did the shop a favor by buying an IBM Selectric III typewriter with auto-correction instead of a Zenith 248 computer with a 20-MB hard drive. We thought he was “old school.”

I have been told I use “old school” ways. I do not have a problem with that because “old school” ways helped build the greatest Air Force in world history. My first impression of the Air Force was from my mili-tary training instructor who was a Vietnam veteran. During my first 10 years of service, all the chief master sergeants and commanders assigned to my units were Vietnam veterans. At my first unit, an enlisted member of our group was assigned to Travis Air Force Base, California, during the race riots in 1971. In 1986, I worked in the base communications security office. The custodian was Chief Master Sgt. John Staples. He

joined the Air Force in 1954 and retired in 1987 after 33 years of active duty service.

Times have definitely changed since I served along-side these folks. When I joined in 1984, there were 597,125 people on active duty in the Air Force, today there are only 329,460 people authorized. During my years of service, the manning level peaked in 1987 with 607,035 members. When I came in, single technical sergeants and below had to live in the dorms with two people per room and everyone shared a hallway bath-room. During exercises and inspections, all military members worked 12-hour shifts around the clock, even if their work center was not a participant.

I remember Airmen used to have to buff floors, pick up cigarette butts, mow grass, place hoses and sprin-klers to water the grass, shovel snow and clean windows. We also did many things via self-help projects like lay-ing sod, planting flowers, constructing partition walls, painting, installing brick pavers, replacing ceiling tiles, and installing conduit. Another thing I remember is that Airmen did not go into the commander’s area (front office) unless they had an appointment. Also, in an effort to save money, we were required to research suitable substitutes, using microfiche, before we were authorized to order replacement parts for equipment.

I also remember that some things “went away” like paychecks received in the mail, encryption equipment

the size of refrigerators, senior NCO dorms at stateside bases, “Buck” Sergeants, having beer at almost every or-ganizational function, keg parties on pay day weekends and smoking in the office. Some things transformed like Air Force Regulations to Air Force Instructions and Airmen performance reports to enlisted performance reports. Some things came like physical training uni-forms, performance feedback forms, Airman’s Creed and political correctness.

Uniforms have also changed during my 30-year military career. I have worn fatigues, BDUs, Airman Battle Uniforms and two different styles of blue uni-forms. I also wore organizational baseball style caps, which were somewhat color-coded. Communications organizations wore blue caps.

So as I move on, I recommend you set personal and career goals, develop progress plans, adjust your plans as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals and never sell yourself short. We are all professionals, we must take pride in what we do, and we must have the dedi-cation to get the job done right the first time, on time. Remember that teamwork is the key to mission success.

I will miss the Air Force and I believe it may take some time for me to feel comfortable not putting on the uniform every day. I wish all of you the best of luck as you continue through your Air Force careers. Take care.

“They all started in June,” said Brad Truver, Schriever Fire Department assis-tant chief of fire prevention. “This snow we see on the ground is deceiving; Colorado has a very dry climate. A majority of the time, most parts of the state are under a high fire danger.”

Fire danger in a particular area is deter-mined by using the National Fire Danger Rating System, which rates fire danger on five levels, including low, moderate, high, very high and extreme. High fire danger is coded yellow and means fires start eas-ily from most causes, unattended brush and campfires are likely to escape and fire spreads rapidly. Fires in the area may also become serious and difficult to con-trol. Very high danger (color code orange) and extreme danger (color code red) lev-

els mean fires can start easily, spread furi-ously, burn intensely and quickly become unmanageable.

State and the federal governments can also issue a “red flag warning” when weather conditions reach high potential for extreme wildfires leading to uncontrolled forest fires.

As June approaches, the Schriever Fire Department advises people to start their outdoor spring cleaning.

“You want to go around your property and remove combustibles, like leaves, tree limbs, pine needles and other items that contribute to the fire load of your area,” he said. “Residents should create a safety zone of 30 to 100 feet around their homes by cutting back vegetation and thinning out the trees on their property. This precaution will help keep fires from crowning, or mov-ing along tree tops, which is what happens when they are too close together.”

Truver also recommends that residents mow their lawns anytime grass blades grow above 3 inches as a means for mitigating

surface fires.Residents should also consider the fol-

lowing fire prevention safety tips.• Never leave grills unattended and always

ensure they are completely extinguished.• Install a smoke detector and keep spare

batteries on hand.• Stay aware of the weather.• Plan ahead.• Have an emergency evacuation kit, in-

cluding emergency water and food, flash-lights, first aid kit, essential medicines, cash, credit cards and sturdy shoes.

• Keep important documents, such as marriage and birth certificates, insurance policies and vehicle registrations easily ac-cessible in case of emergency evacuation.

• Register with the Emergency Notification System, also known as reverse 911 at www.elpasoteller911.org.

“It is also important to have a plan of escape that you can execute when the time comes,” said. Master Sgt. Sarah Law, 50th Space Wing ground safety manager.

“Develop an emergency evacuation plan, and practice it with everyone who lives in your home. Plan two ways out of your neigh-borhood, and designate a meeting place. If a wild fire emergency presents itself, leave as early as possible, and do not linger once evacuation orders have been given. Do not go back home until you have been told you can safely do so.”

As we get further into the summer season,we will start hearing about fire re-strictions, especially in unincorporated El Paso County. Truver said the announce-ments usually start with stage-one restric-tions and typically increase restrictions as we move along.

“It’s important to know and observe fire restrictions and bans,” he said. “According to the U.S. Forest Service, nine out of every 10 wildfires are started by humans. People should pay attention to media outlets regu-larly and they can find information on fire restrictions and burn bans in Colorado Springs at Springsgov.com.”

Commentary by Master Sgt. Karana Rice50th Space Wing Judge Advocate

I personally believe at some point in each of our ca-reers, we need a “refresh” or a “reality check.” In the last six years, my professional life has changed — not just my personal growth and accomplishments — but, more importantly, my attitude. I’ve always loved being in the Air Force. But somewhere along the way, I lost my passion and my sense of purpose. I deployed and embarked on a period of self-reflection. During this time period, my attitude shifted. I began to change the way I felt about the Air Force, the people and myself. I want to share with you some things that I have learned in the last six years. Specifically, what I learned about what it takes to be a caring leader and mentor.

• We all need help, whether we’ve been in two years or 20 years.

• Sometimes, people don’t know what they are truly ca-

pable of until they are pushed out of their comfort zones.• As leaders, we have to tell people what they need to be

told and not necessarily what they want to hear.• Use your knowledge, experience and expertise to always

give those who need your support what they need, which is not necessarily what they want.

• It is great to be recognized for a job well done, but awards don’t define you neither do your failures nor shortcomings. In fact, what defines you is your actions and what you do each day to make your Airmen and the Air Force better.

• All it takes is one word or one action to change a person’s attitude.

• Put people first and the mission will always get done.I had to ask myself now that I had a renewed perspective

about the Air Force. What was I here to do? What was I go-ing do to tomorrow? How was I going to continue to make my people, my organization and myself better?

I immediately thought “servant leadership,” a leader fo-

cused on helping others. We all should be doing this, but honestly, how many of us are doing it in a meaningful, selfless and sincere way? We should not be worrying about our perceived power and prestige, but about building up others to make them better people. If you have someone who can benefit from your experience, leadership, guidance or mistakes, you have an obligation to help them. You don’t need their permission to inject knowledge. All you need is the will and the heart to do it.

At the end of the day, we all have a duty to lead and men-tor. Who have you mentored lately?

Finally, I ask you to share the following statements with your people. First, your people matter. Second, they are valued members of your organization and the Air Force. Lastly, the simplest statement of all, say, “Thank you.” Don’t assume they should know this. I guarantee you someone will need to hear this and that’s what you can do tomor-row — be a mentor.

A reflection: How did you get here and what are you going to do tomorrow?

Morale, welfare, recreation customer survey rolls outBy Jim Garamone

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Does your base fitness center need new equipment? Do you want more recreational traveling opportunities? Do you think there aren’t enough recre-ational opportunities for single service members, or do you think there are too many?

You have your chance to make a difference by answering the Defense Department’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation Customer Satisfaction Survey starting May 14.

“The surveys are going out via email to individual active-duty and Reserve-component service members,” said Carol Potter, the senior program analyst for the Morale, Welfare and Recreation office here.

The survey will be rolled out during the next several days,

and it is in service members’ best interests to participate, Potter said.

The survey asks overall questions about the military’s morale, welfare and recreation programs and then delves into specifics. The specific areas officials need feedback on are fitness, libraries, outdoor recreation, recreation centers, automotive skills, single-member services, swim-ming pools, leisure travel and sports and athletics, Potter said.

“This gives us a good idea of what the service members like and don’t like about the programs,” she added. “It’s re-ally a call to action to ask our service members to respond to the survey, because we take their input very seriously.”

The morale, welfare and recreation program exists for service members and their families, Potter noted.

“We really need them to tell us what they like, what they would change and how they can make them even better,” she said.

This is the third time the office has conducted the survey. Previous surveys were taken in 2009 and 2011. In both cases, Potter said, officials used the surveys to decide how to allocate funding.

“Our service members told us they wanted that money in fitness programs and fitness centers,” she said. “They also wanted it in outdoor recreation and in single service member programs.”

The information from the new survey will be crucial in making decisions on where to invest and what to invest in, she said, and can help to make the MWR program better for everyone.

Air Force official testifies on dangers of ‘space junk’By Karen Parrish

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — One congress-woman summed up the issue suc-cinctly during a House Science, Space and Technology Committee hearing Friday space junk is a growing problem.

Lt. Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, the commander of the 14th Air Force, Air Force Space Command and U.S. Strategic Command’s Joint Force Component Command for Space, testi-fied at the hearing, along with techni-cal and legal experts and officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Communications Commission.

Raymond noted his task force pro-vides emergency warning of impending orbital collisions to all of the world’s spacefaring governments and compa-nies, though it collaborates closely in space primarily with Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. JFCC Space, he explained, catalogs and tracks the trajectories of all known orbiting sys-tems and debris.

“JFCC Space is the world’s premier provider of space situational aware-ness, data and products,” Raymond said. “Over the past few years, we have bolstered our commercial and interna-tional partnerships, we’ve implemented two-way sharing agreements and we’ve worked collaboratively to refine our sharing processes.”

The general noted the command also is on track to deliver a new command-and-control system, the Joint Space Operations Mission System and ad-ditional space situational-awareness sensors.

Each agency represented at the hear-

ing, along with NASA and others, has a role to play in U.S. space operations. All of the witnesses stated that the United States must improve domestic space traffic management, and move quickly to foster international agreement on use of space.

Key orbits, mostly crowded with gov-ernment-owned vehicles, are becoming obstacle courses, experts testified, as more countries launch more objects into space. But each of those objects could become a minefield if it collided with another at “hypervelocity” orbital speeds many times faster than a bullet, as one witness testified.

Such a disaster has happened spectac-ularly at least twice in the past decade.

In 2007, China destroyed one of its own old satellite systems in orbit during an anti-satellite weapon test, in what hearing attendees called the largest known creation of space debris in history.

China’s test blasted the nonworking mass into a “cloud” that diffused widely — in some depictions, it now resembles a seeding dandelion head — and is estimated by some at the hearing to in-clude 150,000 objects centimeter-sized or larger.

The second orbital catastrophe oc-curred in 2009, when Russian satellite Kosmos-2251 and U.S. commercial sat-ellite Iridium 33 collided, destroying both. Each vehicle disintegrated along its orbital path, scattering a roughly X-shaped debris field one witness said holds some 2,000 objects of at least a centimeter.

Each piece of space junk, as well as each functioning orbital object that eventually will become junk, has a pro-

jected duration in orbit that varies from months to centuries, witnesses noted — mostly depending on the object’s size, shape and orbital elevation.

Raymond said monitoring increas-ingly complex traffic and debris in the space domain is and will remain his command’s mission as part of Defense Department, both to protect national security and because no other agency is equipped to do so.

While JFCC Space constantly tracks orbital objects and adjusts recorded trajectories, Raymond acknowledged the command has no authority to act against a potentially destructive satellite or other object in space.

Regulations governing even U.S. domestic spaceflight are complicated. As witnesses explained, the FAA has authority over U.S. commercial and government space vehicles — but only on launch and re-entry, not dur-ing orbit. The DOD has responsibility to monitor, but cannot enforce, space movements.

But testimony suggested the need to bring order to managing close encoun-ters in space is pressing.

Raymond noted one witness had tes-tified that NASA’s International Space Station had changed position 16 times to avoid striking other objects in orbit.

“In fact, just last month we told them to move it twice,” he added.

Witnesses and committee members agreed as the hearing closed that ef-fectively managing space transporta-tion, clearing debris from orbit and protecting the planet from strikes by near-Earth objects are all challenges that will require national and interna-tional effort.

WASHINGTON — Justice Department officials announced an enforcement action yesterday against the nation’s largest servicer of federal and private student loans, which was found to be systematically violating the legal rights of U.S. service members.

Sallie Mae, also known as Sallie Mae Bank and Navient Solutions, is ordered to pay $96.6 million in restitution and penal-ties, officials said, adding that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also reached a settlement with the companies that ad-dresses allegations of student loan servicing misconduct.

“I commend Attorney General Eric Holder, FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, and the staff at the Department of Justice and FDIC for taking action to protect student loan borrowers,” said Holly Petraeus, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as-sistant director, who leads the CFPB’s Office of Servicemember Affairs.

“I have been concerned for some time about the way that military personnel are treated by their student loan servicers,” Petraeus said in a statement. “The men and

women serving this country should receive quality customer service and the legal pro-tections afforded to them. Instead, Sallie Mae gave service members the runaround and denied them the interest-rate reduction required by law. This behavior is unaccept-able. And it’s particularly troubling from a company that benefits so generously from federal contracts.”

The Justice Department’s civil rights divi-sion has initiated a number of enforcement actions in recent years to pursue those who don’t fulfill their legal obligations under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, Petraeus said.

“I applaud their actions, which have put millions of dollars back in the pockets of service members,” she added.

The enforcement action should serve as warning not only to the student loan ser-vicing industry, but also to all institutions that provide or service loans to the military, Petraeus said.

“Federal agencies will be vigilant about holding all financial institutions accountable for providing the protections that our service

members have earned through their selfless service to our nation,” she added.

A 2012 CFPB report found that service members faced serious hurdles in access-ing their student loan benefits, including the provisions of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act that cap the interest rate on pre-existing student loans and other consumer credit products at 6 percent while the service member is on active duty, CFPB officials said. Servicers were not providing them with clear and accurate information about their loan repayment options.

The CFPB heard from military borrow-ers, including those in combat zones, who were denied interest-rate protections because they failed to resubmit unnecessary paper-work. These kinds of obstacles prevent ser-vice members from taking advantage of the full range of protections they have earned through their service to this country, offi-cials said.

The CFPB has partnered with the Defense Department to create better awareness of the rights and options for service member student loan borrowers. A CFPB guide for

service members who have student loans contains clear information on the various ways student loans can be repaid.

Officials noted that the CFPB began ac-cepting student loan complaints in March 2012, and added that service members who have an issue with their servicers should submit a complaint to the CFPB.

To submit a complaint, consumers can:• Go online at http://www.consumerfinance.

gov/complaint;• Call the toll-free phone number at 855-411-

CFPB (2372) or TTY/TDD phone number at 855-729-CFPB (2372);

• Fax the CFPB at 855-237-2392; or• Mail a letter to: Consumer Financial

Protection Bureau, P.O. Box 4503, Iowa City, IA 52244Additionally, through “Ask CFP,” or by

calling 855-411-CFPB (2372), consumers can get clear, unbiased answers to their questions, officials said.
