The Robert D. Gaylor NCOAcademy officially reopenedJan. 15 after completing amulti-million dollar renova-tion.

A $6 million makeover tothe 29,000 square foot build-

ing, begun in November 2008,included relocating classroomsand the student learningresource center.

“They gutted the entirefacility,” said Senior MasterSgt. Clarence Brown, directorof resources and GaylorAcademy first sergeant. “Itwas rebuilt from the studs up.”

The renovation standard-ized the entire building,according to Sergeant Brown.It now groups the 16 flightrooms and administrativeoffices on the first floor. Thesecond floor consists of thelearning resource center,where the students will haveaccess to 30 systems and net-

work printing capabilities.They will also be able to doresearch, homework assign-ments and check e-mail.

Before the project, class-rooms of different configura-tions were split on both floors.

was on the first floor with several mini-LRCs on thesecond floor.

“In the new configuration, the instructor officesare co-located with the flight rooms,” said SergeantBrown. “The whole facility is outfitted with newfurniture and everything is standardized through-out. It will provide a uniformed educational envi-ronment for the students.

“If students walk into another flight room, noth-ing would change,” he added. “There is nothing todisrupt the ability of those students to learn.”

The academy provides leadership courses toNCOs from various bases. Approximately 224 stu-dents attend classes every seven weeks with 14 stu-dents per flight room. In addition to the students,the academy houses 18 instructors, four superin-tendents and support staff.

Courses include profession of arms, unit man-agement and leadership, and communications.

The academy is named in honor of retired ChiefMaster Sgt. Robert D. Gaylor, the former ChiefMaster Sergeant of the Air Force.

Since the academy opened its doors in 1973,thousands of NCOs have received training there forpositions of increased responsibility. Every year,more than 1,600 students attend the academy,which is part of the Air University at Maxwell AirForce Base, Ala.

WASHINGTON (AFNS) – Air Forceofficials released new enlisted promo-tion board and testing schedules Jan.14.

“The 2010 enlisted promotion rateslook promising,” said Chief Master Sgt.Mark Long, the enlisted promotions,evaluations and physical fitness chief.

“Nearly all 2009 rates slightlyincreased from 2008 and we antici-pate this year’s rates to hold steadyand be comparable to last year,” hesaid.

While the Weighted AirmanPromotion System evaluation criteriawill remain the same, the calendaryear 2010 senior master sergeant andchief master sergeant board briefs willdocument whether or not the

Community College of the Air Forcedegree is complete, the chief added.

The senior master sergeant andchief master sergeant boards are nowFeb. 1-19 and Oct. 18-29, respectively.

New testing dates for E-5 through E-9are as follows:

• E-6/7, Feb. 1 through March 31• E-5, May 1 through June 15• E-9, Sept. 7 through 10• E-8, Dec. 1 through 14

Promotion eligibility cutoff dates are:• March 31 for E-5 • Dec. 31 for E-6/E-7• Sept. 30 for E-8• July 31 for E-9

“We want all Airmen to be aware ofthese key dates and understand theprogram so they can do everything in

their power to achieve their promotionand career goals,” Chief Long said.“We all know how difficult enlistedpromotion tests are, so it’s never tooearly to prepare.”

Studying and preparation are thekeys to testing success, the chief said.

“Time and again, I hear storiesfrom Airmen who did not study andmissed promotion by a few points,” hesaid.

“Be a confident Airman on therelease day knowing you gave it yourbest shot. Being prepared for promo-tion testing is an individual responsi-bility and it falls squarely in the AirForce core value of ‘excellence in allyou do.’”

Air Force Instruction 36-2618, The Enlisted Force Structure, is often called thelittle brown book. We have all seen it: you likely received it at the First TermAirman’s Center or from a supervisor. If not, you can get a copy from your firstsergeant.

So, what’s the big deal about the little brown book?First, it’s little for a reason. It fits perfectly in any Airman battle uniform pocket

and, at only 23 pages, it is small enough to take anywhere. Short, simple, and tothe point, it’s the Air Force’s blueprint for every enlisted member from airmanbasic to chief master sergeant.

The Enlisted Force Structure defines what’s expected of all junior Airmen,NCOs, and senior NCOs. These expectations aren’t optional. The first sentence ofchapters three, four and five all end with the word “must”. They don’t end with“should”, “maybe”, “might”, or “can”; they end with “must”.

In our copies, we’ve highlighted and underlined in red the word must as areminder that these instructions are an absolute requirement. It doesn’t get anysimpler.

This AFI is a great supervisory tool, but it also has checks and balances. Whilean NCO can use it to shape junior Airmen in their duties while holding themaccountable for their responsibilities, junior Airmen can do the same with theirNCOs. If a junior Airman sees an NCO not in compliance with the AFI, he shouldcorrect that NCO. The book also clearly defines first sergeant and other specialsenior NCO positions. If they are not meeting one of those requirements, I expectsomeone to bring it to their attention.

Paragraph 3.1.5 of the little brown book even covers our off-duty conduct.According to the book, Airmen must “exhibit professional behavior, military bear-ing, respect for authority, and high standards of dress and personal appearance,on- and off-duty.” Whether in uniform or not, Airmen represent the Air Force atall times. It’s important to be mindful of the kind of image you are portraying tothe local community.

As members of the military, we are held to a higher standard. This AFI, and allAFIs for that matter, aren’t suggestions. They’re mandatory requirements. Ourpeople and adherence to standards is what makes us the greatest Air Force theworld has ever seen.

The Air Force doesn’t have an enlisted bible, but the little brown book is asclose as it comes. So get it, read it, know it and live it.

By Col. Kent Sabey59th Dental Training Squadron

Dental emergencies, mild and severe,occur every day. Preventative measuressuch as good oral hygiene, consistentperiodic check-ups and wearing athleticmouth guards can help avoid tooth trou-ble. We all want to preserve our naturalteeth and avoid discomfort, so it isimportant to determine which situationsrequire immediate action and which areless urgent. The American DentalAssociation published the following sug-gestions on how to manage some dental

situations:• If something is caught between teeth,try to gently remove it with dental floss,but avoid injuring the gums. Do not try toremove it with a sharp instrument. If youcan’t dislodge the object using floss, con-tact your dentist.• If you have bitten your lip or tongue,use a soft cloth to clean the area andapply gentle pressure. You can apply acold compress to reduce swelling. Ifbleeding in the area doesn’t stop, seeyour dentist promptly.• A cracked or broken tooth may bepainful when chewing or might be sensi-

tive to hot and cold liquids. A toothachemay be caused by tooth decay, such as acavity or a defective filling. Removingfood or debris that might be caught, orrinsing the mouth with water may pro-vide some relief. Call your dentist for anappointment so the condition can beevaluated. If you notice any swelling ofthe gums or cheek near a tooth that isaching, you should call your dentistimmediately.• Gums can bleed or become sore. Usegood brushing and flossing techniques

and rinse the mouthwith warm water. Makean appointment withyour dentist to deter-mine why this is occur-ring.• If you have tooth orgum pain, a properdose of an over-the-counter analgesic, suchas ibuprofen or aceta-minophen, can be help-ful until you can makean appointment withyour dentist. Make sureyou have no history ofallergy or adverse reac-tion to the medicine. Itis not recommended toplace pain pills againstthe gums near theaching tooth because itmay burn the gum tis-sue.• Results of tooth trau-ma can be quite vari-able. Teeth may be ten-der and the gums maybleed slightly. A portionof a tooth may be miss-

ing. A tooth may bepartially moved out ofits normal position. Ifany of these occur, callyour dentist.• Occasionally a toothis knocked completelyout of its socket. If thisoccurs, the best actionis to hold the tooth bythe crown and gentlyrinse the root, if it isobviously dirty. Do notscrub it or remove anyattached tissue frag-ments. Insert the toothback into the socket. Ifthat isn’t possible, putthe tooth in a cup ofmilk and see your den-tist as quickly as possi-ble.• Some severe acci-dents can result in abroken jaw. Signs ofthis may include pain, achange in the way yourteeth fit together, orswelling. Contact yourdentist or an emer-gency room right awayin this case.

Lackland honors Martin Luther King Jr.By Mike JosephStaff Writer

A capacity crowd was on hand to hear retiredBrig. Gen. Toreaser Steele deliver the keynoteaddress at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. commem-orative luncheon Jan. 14 at the Gateway Club.

The annual luncheon sold out before the event asnearly 300 people gathered in the main ballroom tohear General Steele’s remarks, a gospel choir and avideo presentation about Dr. King.

General Steele, a former 737th Training Groupcommander in the mid-1990s and 31-year Air Forceveteran, recalled with fondness her time atLackland and the changes that were endured dur-ing command.

“Compared to my tour more than a decade ago,they pale in comparison to the demands for changeyou are experiencing today,” she said. “The Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. was a servant to the peoplewho embraced change; he desired to be God’schange agent.”

She cited the slain civil rights leader’s desire tochange the status of a people by removing the injus-tices that blocked their access to the freedoms thatwere enjoyed by others in this nation.

General Steele said Dr. King fought for non-vio-lent social change, change in the implementation oflaws and change in the hearts of the people.

“We have not been as willing as perhaps weshould have been in embracing change, desiringinstead to remain status quo,” she said.

She then recounted how the citizens of the UnitedStates, not ethnic groups, elected Barack Obama thefirst African American president, drawing one ofseveral rounds of applause during her address.

“Dr. King believed so strongly in a need forchange he was willing to put his life on the line andultimately would lose it for the sake of change tobring justice and quality to all Americans,” she said.

General Steele went on to say Dr. King knew thesacrifices of freedom and that change would berequired to extend those freedoms to those beingdenied.

“He really meant it when he said, ‘Lord, sendme,’” she added. “Many of you know when youmake such a statement you had better be ready togo. Dr. King was ready and he went.”

After citing President Obama’s wish to honor Dr.King by being of service to others on Jan. 18, theofficial MLK Day observance, General Steele con-cluded by saying Dr. King’s legacy is one of changethrough service to others.

“Dr. King touched the citizens of this great nationand others around the world,” she said.

Program reaches out to dorm residentsBy Mike JosephStaff Writer

The first Check Six event of the year is Thursday, 6p.m., at the Kisling Community Center.

The event, co-sponsored by Freedom Chapel, 37thCommunications Squadron and 67th NetworkWarfare Wing chapel, is a social activity for perma-nent party dormitory residents.

According to Freedom Chapel Chaplain (Capt.) AlexJack, music by a disc jockey, swimming, X-box andprizes will be among the activities. Chief Master Sgt.Darryl Morris, 67th NWW command chief, will alsospeak to the attendees.

“We try to give them a nice meal since they don’thave a dining facility or a real kitchen to cook in,”said Chaplain Jack, in charge of this Check Six event.

“So typically, the co-sponsors grill steaks and chicken.It’s a night to relax, have fun, socialize and get toknow other people.”

He said that Check Six is one way for the FreedomChapel chaplains to reach out to the dorm residents,“to let them know we care, we’re available, and we’rehere for them.”

The group plans for 200 to attend out of the morethan 800 permanent party residents on base.

Past winter Check Sixes have been held inDecember but was switched this year to January.

“We were planning on having it in December …but the lull occurs after the holidays,” said Chaplain(Maj.) Stephen Allen, Freedom Chapel branch chief.“Considering the amount of attention given inDecember to Christmas, parties, a heightened sense ofchecking ourselves, I thought it was a great insight by

Chaplain Jack to move it to January.“That’s the time things are occurring in others’

lives that maybe we need to give a little special atten-tion to,” he added. “There’s an elevated level of stressin January and February.”

Chaplain Allen said the funding for this Check Sixcomes from the Freedom Chapel congregationthrough Sunday offerings. He added many membersof the congregation are retired Air Force who want tohelp the dorm Airmen.

“They (the congregation) have a great passion tohelp the young Airmen,” Chaplain Allen said. “Theyremember how lonely it can be in the dorms, and thisis their way of saying, ‘we want to be a part of yourlife, we support you, we’re behind you 100 percent.’

“It’s a gracious gift from the parishioners who wantto be a part of that.”

By Staff Sgt. Vanessa YoungDefense Media Activity-San Antonio

Ophthalmic surgeons atLackland are the first in theDefense Department to employ astate-of-the-art laser that willshorten recovery times for cornealtransplantation.

Members of the ophthalmologydepartment assigned to the 59thMedical Wing now use a femtosec-ond laser to dissect human corneatissue for cornea transplants orrefractive surgery.

The laser produces a very short,(one-billionth of a second), intensepulse that gives ophthalmologists ahyper-accurate way of cutting thecornea tissue. Ophthalmic sur-geons can program the laser tomake very specific shapes that actlike a tread pattern on the tissue.

For cornea transplants, the laserallows ophthalmic surgeons todesign very specific interfacesbetween the donor tissue and thehost, said Lt. Col. (Dr.) CharlesReilly, the chair of the departmentof ophthalmology for the 59thMDW. These specific cuts improvehealing and the speed of recovery,which makes the overall surgerymuch more successful.

The ophthalmic surgical teamperformed the first three cornealtransplants using this technologythree months ago.

“They are all doing just terrificand their visual recovery is justamazing,” Doctor Reilly said.

The normal recovery time forcorneal transplantation patients isone year.

“The beauty of this laser is thatwe can start removing the suturesat a much earlier rate,” DoctorReilly said. “With this procedure,we hope we can cut (recovery time)down to six or seven months.”

Since the inception of thecorneal transplant technology inthe 1950s, Wilford Hall ophthal-

mology surgeons have been someof the pioneers.

The ophthalmology team contin-ues to be at the forefront ofadvancing the science of humancornea transplant, Doctor Reillysaid.

“We are doing things here thatnot very many medical centers inthe U.S. are capable of doing whenit comes to eye surgery,” DoctorReilly said. “We’re not standard ofcare; we’re state of the art.”

Having a premiere eye surgicalprogram within the Air Forcedirectly translates to the combatenvironment, he added.

“This new technology will play ahuge role in visual recovery of ourmen and women in uniform whosuffered eye injuries with cornealscars and other problems inpathology from (Operation IraqiFreedom) and (Operation EnduringFreedom),” Doctor Reilly said.

The ophthalmologists here willplay an even bigger role in theadvancement of servicemembers’eye care when the Wilford Hallcampus becomes the Vision Centerof Excellence for DoD

According to Doctor Reilly,under the San Antonio MilitaryMedical Center concept, the centerwill serve a three-part mission:Research and eye care; education;and largest eye clinic in DoD.

The 59th MDW ophthalmologyand optometry team will partnerwith their Army counterparts tonot only create the largest eye cen-ter, but also the leader in educationfor eyes and the center for excel-lence for eye surgery and visualscience.

“We’re excited to bring the bestof the best together and to offer thebest surgery,” he said. “It’s almostunfair to be an eye surgeon in theAir Force right now because wehave the best equipment and thebest patients; it really is the meld-ing of perfection.”

More than 3,700 people attended the2010 Air Education and TrainingCommand Symposium held at the HenryB. Gonzalez Convention Center in down-town San Antonio last week, the largestshowing to date.

The symposium featured nearly 100academic seminars on a variety of AirForce topics, a technology expositionhosted by the Alamo chapter of the AirForce Association and a formal ball.

Col. John Thompson’s seminar onsocial networking for the Air Force wasfilled to capacity and then some. Hishour block discussed how the Air Forcecontinues leveraging industry for sys-tems, services and best practices for pro-fessional networking and social learningadapting them to the Air Force learningenvironment.

“You will see folks saying things like,‘Hey I’m deploying,’ or ‘I’m deployed andgetting ready to go out on a mission,’ andif the enemy can see that type of infor-mation they can take advantage of it,”Colonel Thompson said. “So we need totrain them (Airmen) not to do that.”

In addition to the symposium, Airmenviewed and interacted with more than100 vendor and unit demonstrations atthe AFA Exposition including medicaloperating room displays, helicoptertraining simulations, remotely pilotedaircraft presentations and many more.

Other displays included more hands-on programs like a C-130 airdrop simu-lation designed by Lockheed Martinshowing how the front end crew andback end of the aircraft are able to com-municate and operate in a simulatedenvironment that they’ve never beenable to do before outside the actual air-craft.

When the seminar rooms emptied outand the exhibit hall was drawing to aclose Jan. 15, more than 1,000 peopleattended the AETC Ball, the command’slargest formal event of the year.

“This year’s symposium was truly aworld-class event and we have the entirestaff and attendees to thank for it,” saidJames Sturch, AETC symposium eventdirector.

“We continue to receive positive feed-back and are already gearing up for the2011 symposium, which should only getbigger and better.”

If David Robinson was play-ing intramural basketball in theAir Force Wednesday night, itmight have looked like this: anathletic center grabbingrebounds, running fastbreaksand owning the paint.

Except for the fact that the737th Training Group’s centerGabe Lewis also drains 3-balls.

Lewis led the TIs (5-1) in aconvincing 43-27 win over the668th Alteration and InstallationSquadron Wednesday night,totaling his 17 points in thepaint, from the charity stripeand around the perimeter.

“He’s a beast,” TIs coach SaulBookman said. “He’s our go-to-guy for sure.”

About the only thing Lewisdidn’t do was throw one down.

“I’m just very selective,”Lewis said. “I’ve had a couplesurgeries so I pick and choosewhen I do (slam dunk).

“My team trusts me with theball. I’ll do what I can to makesure we win.”

For Bookman, the win proveslunchtime practice is paying off.

“We’ve been practicing reallyhard, about two or three times a

week,” he said. “It just shows.”

Narrow escapeAfter spacing 17 points

between the 543rd SupportSquadron’s halftime score andits own, the 345th TrainingSquadron watched the leaddwindle to seven before itsstarters went back in the gameto seal the 44-39 win.

“We almost lost that one,”Matt Heifner said, laughing inrelief. “We went on a littledrought, but were able to starthitting shots.”

Heifner, seven points, wasinstrumental in creating breath-ing room in the first half.

Coming up shortBy the time short-handed

37th Force Support Squadronput its fifth player onto thecourt, the 37th Medical Groupalready had a 25-6 lead.

They nearly doubled the dif-ference by the final whistle inthe 79-42 win.

Even Med Group’s leadingscorer was in disbelief.

“I thought I had like 10,”Lawrence Burkett said afterhearing he scored 31 points,with seven 3-pointers. “Really? Iwasn’t even trying.”

Fans are encouraged to sport Astrosgear and bring memorabilia when theymeet players at the entrance of the baseexchange, 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Community affairs director ShawnBertani and coordinator Dairanetta Spainask that fans limit the items to one auto-graph per player.

The program that produced stand-out service boxers such as three-timeAll-Air Force light heavyweight cham-pion Rodney Ellison is looking for afew Airmen to fill their shoes.

Currently, Air Force boxing coachSteven Franco is reviewing nine appli-cants, three from Lackland. But he’sout for more local talent.

Air Force sports has extended theapplication deadline for the Air Forceboxing training camp until March 1.Training camp begins March 20.Boxers who make the cut will continueto train through April 25.

Eligible applicants need to have fiveUSA boxing-sanctioned bouts undertheir belt to join the program and fightin the Armed Forces and amateurnational tournament – the program’sultimate goals.

However, Franco said a boxer withonly three bouts will be admitted astwo more fights will be picked up atthe Lackland hosted All-Air Force Box-offs, April 3-4 at the Bennett FitnessCenter.

Eligible applicants enter into the 10-day training camp, which is designed

to weed out boxers who lack physicalfitness, necessary technique and men-tal toughness.

The training camp serves to furtherstrengthen basics such as counter-punching and physical conditioning.

Due to time limitations, potentialboxers need to come into camp fit,eager and open-minded, Franco said.

“Physically, the PT program now inthe Air Force is doing a good job,” hesaid. “So, a lot of guys are already insome type of shape.

“Now, they are going to have to getin even better shape.”

He said that’s half the battle. Therest is applying fundamentals.

For less experienced boxers, theability to pick up training quickly iscrucial.

“That’s what we’re looking for,”Franco said, “‘Can this guy apply whatwe just taught him?’ We don’t havemuch time; a month later, we’re atArmed Forces.”

Compared to the Army and Marineboxing programs, the Air Force isostensibly at a disadvantage, consider-ing the other branches’ year-in-year-out commitment to the sport.

But the Air Force coach has a dif-ferent perspective.

“A lot of the people (the Army andMarines) box, they have already foughtin different tournaments. With ourguys, they don’t know who we’rebringing in.”

Finally, Franco expects boxers tobring enthusiasm into the camp.

“The will to win,” he said. “Youhave to have a heart to win; you’re notjust here to get away from work for awhile.”

The theories are then put into appli-cation inside the ring at the Box-offs, adeciding factor in who makes the cutfor the 2010 boxing team.

Franco said it doesn’t matter whowins or loses at the All-Air Force tour-nament, but just that the boxers showcompetence.

“And, just because they won does-n’t mean we are going to keep them,”he said. “It’s about who performs thebest, who’s going to provide us withthe best chance of winning at ArmedForces and nationals.”

Three Lackland fighters have filedapplications: Richard Smith (178pounds), Matt McCoy (152 pounds) andChris Mann (165 pounds).

Two of the three, McCoy and Smith,also train in mixed martial arts.

McCoy is looking to return to the

camp, after making the cut in 2007-2008, followed by a hiatus last year.

“He has some skill; he’s pretty goodat both, MMA and boxing,” Francosaid.

Smith would be joining the camp forthe first time.

At the moment, the Air Force box-ing gym is changing houses from theBennett Fitness Center, to its newhome at the Chaparral Fitness Centerin March.

During the camp, boxers will live inthe Defense Language Institute dormsand cross the street to the fitness cen-ter three times daily for training ses-sions.

People interested in applying for aspot in the camp can turn in Air ForceForm 303, Request for USAF special-ized Sports Training, to the ChaparralFitness Center, or contact the sportsoffice at 671-3716 for more informa-tion.
