Cheyenne Mountain AFS hosts emergency courseby Christopher Soliz

721st Mission Support Group

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo. -- The Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station fire department recently hosted an Emergency Vehicle Operations Train-the-Trainer Course. This was an op-portunity for agencies to send their bright-est instructors to a nationally recognized Department of Transportation course.

More than a dozen agencies from across Colorado and Wyoming participated in the event and topics included teaching emer-gency vehicle methodology, vehicle charac-teristics, vehicle safety and driving skills.

Graduates will use this knowledge to de-sign and implement a vehicle operations course for their home agencies and local responders.

“This course is part of an on-going dedication our department has to sharing knowledge and resources so that all of our communities are safer and responders can provide superior customer service,” said Chris Miller, Cheyenne Mountain AFS fire chief.

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Air Force officials announced April 12 uniform policy upd-ates resulting from recent Air Force Uniform Board decisions.

The following policy modifications are effective immedi-ately unless other-wise stated and will be incorporated into Air Force Instruction 36-2903, Air Force Uniform Dress and Appearance.

The tucking of trou-sers on utility uniforms into boots will remain optional. This reverses a mandatory tuck-in requirement previously announced by the 98th Air Force Virtual Uniform Board. When tucked in or bloused, the trouser must be even and draped loosely over the top of the combat boot to present a bloused appearance.

The green fleece watch cap is approved for wear with the all-purpose environmen-tal clothing system, improved rain suit, cold weather parka, sage green fleece and the physical training uniform.

Air Force officials encourage all Airmen

to affix name, rank and service designator tapes instead of waiting for the Oct. 1 manda-tory wear date. However, officers wanting to wear a watch cap with the sage green fleece must now have their name, rank and service designator tapes affixed to the fleece effective immediately.

Other authorized cold weather items re-main unchanged. They include the black or

sage green leather, suede or knit gloves; black scarves that are tucked in; and black earmuffs.

Uniform officials remind Airmen that the sage green fleece can still be worn as a liner for the APECS with-out name, rank and ser-vice designator tapes. The black fleece will no longer

be authorized for wear as an APECS liner on Oct. 1.

Air Force officials also modified the 97th AFUB decision that stated the women’s A-line skirt would become the primary mess dress skirt for the Air Force. The change allows the side-slit mess dress skirt to continue to be worn as an optional item.

For more information on uniform policy changes, contact your chain of command or call the Total Force Service Center at (800) 525-0102.

Commander’s Corner21st space Wing

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- The movie “Pearl Harbor” tells the story of two friends, Rafe and Danny, who survive the attack on Pearl Harbor and enter World War II as fighter pilots.

In training before the war, Rafe McCawley is one of America’s top fighter pilots. When America initially holds back from entering the war, Rafe volunteers to help the British in their fight against the Germans.

When Rafe first arrives at the English air-field, he walks by British airmen and Spitfire fighters, shot up from the previous day’s battle and is greeted by the commander of the British squadron. As the commander shows him the plane he will fly, a messenger announces to the commander that two more British planes have just been shot down.

The commander turns to Rafe and asks, “Are all Yanks as anxious as you to get them-selves killed?” Rafe does not hesitate: “I’m not anxious to die, sir,” he says. “I’m anxious to matter.”

As the 21st Space Wing command chief, I have the daily privilege to interact with Airmen who are “anxious to matter.” Their passion to be part of something bigger than

themselves is the true heart of the American Airmen. So, where does this passion generate from? What is its genesis?

Last August, I made a trip to Lackland AFB to see my son graduate from basic training. As a father, it was one of the proudest moments of my life, but as an Airman, it was one of the most eye-opening. It had been 22 years since I attended basic training, and I have to admit, I had forgotten the transformation that occurs.

Only eight weeks earlier I had driven my son to MEPS. He hugged his mother and I goodbye and looked at us with wide-eyed anticipation, but there was still a hesitation in him - almost saying “am I doing the right

thing?” Fast-forward eight weeks and I am seated at the coining ceremony the day prior to graduation. The Airmen are presented their first coin in recognition of their achievement and then in unison recite the Airmen’s Creed. As you can imagine it was a very powerful moment, but even more powerful was what I saw in my son that day - something I will never forget - an anxiousness “to matter.”

He was not an isolated case, each and every Airman in formation that day expressed the very same anxiousness. And as I witnessed this remarkable event I was overcome by an awesome sense of obligation - not as a father, but as a fellow Airman and leader.

As leaders, we have a duty to train, equip, and empower them to act on this newfound passion. Is it solely our responsibility to ensure they maintain this passion? Not precisely - it is an individual’s responsibility. However, we play a vital role in its development and there is no greater impact than through our example.

Daily we have the choice “to matter.” So, as you read this, I encourage you to renew your commitment “to matter” in all that you do. Our Airmen deserve nothing less.

Anxious to matter

TYNDALL AFB, Fla. -- This year the Air Force joins millions of people across the coun-try and around the globe in celebrating 40 years of Earth Day. Celebrated April 22, Earth Day promotes awareness and appreciation for the environment.

The old slogan, “make every day Earth Day” is exemplified in the Air Force Civil Engineer’s plan for transformation where we are charged, among many things, to build sustainable in-stallations and integrate energy and environ-mental considerations in how we work, live, and play.

This summer the Air Force becomes the first in the United States and in the Department of Defense to operate a transportable plasma Waste-2-Energy System Facility to benefit the environment an create energy. The facility, un-der construction at Hurlburt Field, Fla., will produce electrical energy and marketable by-products from garbage using patented plasma arc technology. W2E uses the intense heat of plasma to gasify and vitrify virtually any type of waste, with no harmful pollutants. The syngas

produced is consumed in a motor generator to produce electricity and hot water.

Travis AFB, Calif., has emerged as an Air Force showcase for the implementation of green and sustainable remediation. Three recent initiatives by the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment located at Port San Antonio, Texas, significantly reduced the carbon footprint of Travis’ groundwater remediation systems while promoting green and sustainable approaches for the treatment of chlorinated solvents. These initiatives have gathered endorsements and positive feedback from the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of California.

Tyndall opens the doors to its new state-of-the art fitness center in June. It’s one of the Air Force’s “green” energy demonstration projects and is on target to become the first facility in the DoD to reach the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum level, the highest ranking possible under the group’s green building rat-ing system. The new $16.6 million gym is three times bigger than the current fitness center but will use 20 percent less energy.

The Air Force Facility Energy Center located

at the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, Tyndall AFB, Fla., has helped implemenet ap-proximately 34 on-base renewable energy proj-ects with many more either programmed to be funded and constructed or identified to be further studied. Luke Air Force Base plans to host a solar array on 116 acres that will gener-ate 17 megawatts of electricity by December 2011.

In addition, as many as 20 new photovoltaic projects could be built on Air Force bases by 2015. Wind turbines are in operation on four bases with seven more installations under con-sideration for wind power during the next five years. Engineers at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., are in talks with the local utility to build up to 24 wind turbines. To put this project in perspec-tive, it would produce up to five times more energy than currently generated by 700 solar panels at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

The Air Force is proud to celebrate our daily commitment to sustaining the mission through green innovation. As we maintain dominance in air, space and cyberspace, we take to heart the responsibility to do so with keen aware-ness of the environment in which we train and live.

by 21st Civil Engineer Squadron Fire

Prevention Office

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- There has been several cooking related incidents recently in the base dormitories -- fires that could have been prevented, officials said. According to the latest National Fire Protection Association research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires. One out of three home fires begin in the kitchen, more than any other place in the home. Cooking fires also are the leading cause of home fire-related injuries. “Most often when we respond to these fires the occupants tell us they only left the room for a minute,” said Burke Ferrin, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron assistant chief for prevention. “Sadly, that’s all it takes for a dangerous fire to start.” From January 2009 to present, there have been 67 responses to the dorms. Of those 67 re-sponses, 34 percent were cooking related inci-dents. Investigators found that 78 percent of the cooking related incidents were due to inexperi-ence in proper cooking procedures, including over-cooking food or cooking items too fast. The other 22 percent were unattended cooking issues. Sa fe t y t ips t hat f i re f ig ht-ers and safety advocates agree on: n Stay in the kitchen when you are fry-ing, grilling, broiling, or boiling food. n If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. n When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you. n If you have young children, use the stove’ back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove. n When you cook, wear cloth-i ng w it h t ig ht-f it t i ng s leeves .

n Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden uten-sils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop. n Clean up food and grease f rom bu r ners a nd s tove tops . n The lower drawer on many new stoves is not for storage, but is actually part of the oven. Be familiar with your appliance. There is help for Airmen, especially those living in the dorms, said Julie Anderson, Health and Wellness Center dietitian. The HAWC offers many cooking classes, in-cluding one that addresses safe cooking. Staff Sgt. Misty Horton, HAWC dietary therapist, provides monthly First Term Airman Center briefings and she recently spoke to Airmen at two dorm meetings about “Safe and Healthy Cooking in the Dorms.” She gave Airmen information about the HAWC’s “Cooking in The Dorms” demonstration in April. Unfortunately, none of the dorm residents signed up for the class, Sergeant Horton said. This month, the Aragon dining facility, where more than 300 Peterson and Schriever Airmen living in dorms can eat three meals a day, closed for renovation. The dining facility is expected to be closed for four months while the work is completed. That means Airmen who live in the dorms are on their own for meals. The HAWC’s program is designed to edu-cate dorm residents on the new world of cook-ing and help them reduce the cooking incidents in the dormitories. The HAWC offers classes that discuss cooking techniques and different health topics every month. Classes are from 6 to 7:30 p.m. the first Thursday of the month. The HAWC cooking demonstrations are a hands-on tool to educate Airmen on ways to develop healthy eating habits and safe cooking precautions. For information or to sign up, call the HAWC at 556-4292 or use the HAWC Scheduler if mem-ber has CAC access.

erything can change. In the blink of an eye, his drive toward a national championship with the U.S. Air Force Academy rugby team came to a crashing end.

May 3, 2003, the Zoomies were fac-ing the No. 1 ranked team in the nation -- the University of California, Berkeley -- in the college rugby semi-finals. Up until that day, the Bears had racked up 12 consecutive national champion-ships, were ranked No. 1, and trailed the 4th ranked cadets by a single point, 8-7.

And then came “the” stick. About 20 minutes into the game, the Bears were running a sweep right, when the solidly built, 6-foot-1, Ward zoomed out of nowhere to lay a ferocious stick on the ball carrier. The ball went flying, and the Academy’s Josh Dean picked it up and scored as Ward crumpled face down on the ground. “I was left unconscious on the field for five minutes,” Ward said. It took the medical crew 30 minutes before they could cart him off the field. “I was hospitalized for four days, none of which I remember.”

As he lay on the field, his stunned family could only look on.

“My dad, brother, sister, both grand-mas, uncles, aunts -- my whole family was there,” he said, explaining that the game -- at Stanford University’s rugby pitch -- was only about a 30-minute drive from his hometown of Alamo, Calif.

He was taken by ambulance to Stanford University’s medical center, which -- luckily for him -- had one of the top neurologi-cal teams in the nation. Coincidentally, Stanford’s chief of neurology -- Dr. Larry Shuer -- was also a family friend. The doc-tor’s daughter and Marc’s sister, Marcie, played soccer together on the Stanford University soccer team.

For the first couple of days, because of all the pain medicine, Marc couldn’t even tell the doctors exactly what was wrong. They conducted a battery of tests -- X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs -- but couldn’t find anything conclusive.

For four days, his family stayed at his bedside as the medical team continued to try to find out exactly how badly he was hurt. Finally, his father was allowed to take him home. He stayed at his father’s house on convalescent leave for about three months, not knowing it would be more than two years before he’d make it back to the Academy for his sophomore year.

Tests finally revealed he had “completely avulsed (tore) two nerves between the C-5 and C-6 vertebrae.”

The injury left his right arm pretty much useless.

“I had pain that started near my shoulder and kind of moved down my arm,” he said, describing the pain as kind of a prickly feel-ing. “With nerve injuries, they heal them-selves about an inch or so a month.”

He began rehab while convalescing at his father’s house. It took nine months before he could even move his arm, and more than a year before he had much range of movement at all.

Gradually though, he did get better.That fall, he attended St. Mary’s College,

just east of the San Francisco Bay area. Later that year, he found his Academy rugby coach -- Rob Holder -- had taken a job as the head rugby coach at Stanford University. When Holder asked Marc to be one of his assistants, Marc jumped at the chance.

By June, 2005, he’d recovered enough to return to the Academy. The injury still limited some of his activities -- he couldn’t do pull-ups as part of his physical training test -- but he made up for it by maxing out on other parts of the test.

“I don’t think the muscle will ever com-pletely come back,” he said, flexing his right arm.

Back at the Academy, he maintained his ties with the rugby team. He served as an assistant coach, and even tried to play some his junior year, but hung up his cleats after suffering a few minor concussions. His se-nior year -- even though he didn’t play -- he served as team captain.

Despite all of his injuries, Ward still loves rugby.

This past November, he scored a tourna-ment best 54 points to lead the Air Force rugby team to a sixth consecutive gold medal at the annual Armed Forces Rugby Championship at Fort Benning, Ga. In the title match, Air Force soundly beat Army 34-0.

Playing a grueling five games in three days, the Air Force ruggers trounced their

sister services by a combined score of 226-3. They didn’t allow a single try.

Ward, a space-force-enhancement test analyst for Det. 4, Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center, is looking to take that same intensity and passion to this year’s Warrior Games. He’ll compete in the 400- and 200-meter races.

Ward said he’s training for the games on a four-days-on, one-day-off schedule.

“I sprint 500 or 600 meters, rest for three minutes, then repeat,” he said. He completes five sets during each training session. He said he’s also continuing his normal weight training regimen.

Despite not running track since his fresh-

man year of high school, he’d like to run the 400 meters in under 50 seconds. That’s a pretty lofty goal considering the current men’s world record is 43.18 seconds set Aug. 26, 1999, by former Olympic great Michael Johnson

But, as Ward well knows, miracles happen.

Just ask that U.S. Air Force Academy team playing Cal-Berkeley way back in 2003. Despite Ward’s injury, the Zoomies upset Goliath that day, knocking off Cal-Berkeley, 46-28. They then beat Harvard, 45-37, the following day to win the national championship.

In the blink of an eye

2nd Lt. Marc Ward, Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center Detachment 4 at Peterson AFB, was one of 20 Airmen recently selected to participate in the Warrior Games scheduled May 10 to 14, 2010, at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. About 200 wounded, ill and injured active duty, Guard and Reserve members, as well as retired personnel and veterans, from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard will compete.

Commentary by Tech. Sgt. R. Ramos

213th Space Warning Squadron

CLEAR AIR FORCE STATION, Alaska -- Things all started out in July 2005 as a 90-day summer temporary deployment. Little did I know, I was about to embark on my life’s adventure.

Living most of my life in rural Kansas, the chance to see something different in the summer and earn extra money was always welcome, especially if it didn’t involve wheat, hay or cows. So, when my training manager at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., asked me if I would go to Alaska for 90 days, I im-mediately accepted. I couldn’t wait to find out if I was going to Elmendorf or Eielson.

Neither, she advised, you’re going to Clear Air Force Station.

I had never heard of the place, but I said to myself 90 days in and out? No problem.

After a long flight from Wichita, I landed in Fairbanks and was met by my sponsor. As we left the airport I asked, “How soon till we get there?” He laughed and told me to get comfortable. On the way, I couldn’t help but notice that we were travelling away from the city and towards a remote wilder-ness with more trees than I had ever seen in one place before. Where I’m from it is so flat that your view is unobstructed for miles and you can watch the neighbor’s dog

run away for two days. The air had a fresh new smell, much different than the hay and wheat fields I was used to. I also couldn’t help but notice that it was still bright and sunny outside at 1 a.m.

We arrived at the main gate to Clear AFS and I got settled in. Still, I was saying to myself, just 90 days in and out.

My first days were quite eventful and as I started working on a schedule I began to realize that Alaskans were a little different than I was used to. Everyone here seemed to welcome me and invited me to join what-ever activity was going on and “bring me up to speed” whether I needed help or not. I started making friends, some of whom I still count among the best friends that I have ever had.

As the weeks went by, I began to think that 90 days was just not going to be enough. I was given the opportunity to extend my TDY for another 90 days. My supervisor back at McConnell started to worry that I would not come back. My wife was enjoying the peace and quiet so, I extended.

As time went on, I began to realize that I liked it at Clear and that I saw something different every day, especially as the seasons started to change.

I found out that there were Air Guard Reserve positions available that would give me a lot of the same benefits that I had when I was active duty. I had to start the process

of selling the idea to my wife and daughters. Since our current home we lived in was only a few blocks away from her family in the town she was raised in, I can compare that endeavor to selling red popsicles to a lady wearing white gloves on a 100 degree day. After much convincing and maybe a little pleading, I applied, met the hiring board, and was selected for a position.

My time here has been rife with challenges but with each challenge comes a learning experience that I am all the better for hav-ing endured. Learning the job was its own challenge. Then add in the extreme weather conditions like learning how to keep warm in 40 below temperature in the winter. I have seen vehicles freeze-up and learned what it’s like to drive on square tires. I had to learn how to sleep with 24-hour sunlight in the summer.

Off duty activities in Alaska pose their own challenge as well. Depending on where you go you literally step out of your truck and right into the food chain, and not necessar-ily on top. I have learned that moose are not afraid of cars and that bears are not afraid of anything. But if a person uses common sense and learns from people that have been here for a long time, Alaska is the best place a person can find himself. It has something for every interest, and if you’re not careful the Alaskan spirit of adventure will take hold and you will find yourself interested

in and doing things that you would never have imagined doing before.

I have found that the people here are always willing to help. That’s because we depend on each other to get by, especially during the winter months. Break down or slide off of the road during the winter and see how much help you’ll have. People up here, whether they know you or not, will not hesitate to lend a hand, and your friends will drive for hours if something’s wrong. I have experienced this type of dependability first hand as well as spent hours on the roadside digging someone out. It’s just what you do if you live up here.

I am proud to be a member of this great organization, The Alaska Air National Guard. My wife, daughters and I were given a great opportunity and Alaska and the Air National Guard have been very good to us. My children have experienced cultures and done things that they used to only see on the Discovery Channel. We live, work, and play in a place that most people have to save up just for a brief visit.

Not long ago, my family called from Kansas and asked me if I would return home after my “time was up.” I looked at my wife and then at the large collage of pictures that seems to grow every year of the things we have done, the friends we have and the memories we’ve made and replied, “I’m already home” but I might come down for a visit.

Syndicated Column provided by Colorado Publishing Co.

Diane Phillips knows her way around a pork shoulder.The local cooking instructor and author of the new “SlowCooker: The Best Cookbook Ever With More Than 400Easy-to-Make Recipes” loves the cheap meat for itsplethora of possibilities — money saving and flavor-wise.

“Pork shoulder is cheap and is one of my favorites,”Phillips said. “It yields an incredible amount of meat. It’smelting and tender and takes on other flavors really, real-ly well.”

She was inspired to write her latest book when facedwith a fridge full of leftovers that seemed to have multi-plied. The book further inspired her to teach a “CheapEats” class at Great News! Cooking School.

“I thought, what if you made one meal in the slowcooker on a Sunday and had all these leftovers? Whatwould you do so they didn’t taste like what they startedout as?”

That’s where the pork shoulder came in. Under Phillips’culinary ministrations, Sunday night’s slow cooked meatbecame Monday night’s pork shoulder ragu with pap-pardelle, then Tuesday night’s sesame noodle salad withpulled pork shoulder, then Wednesday night’s carnitasand Thursday’s pulled pork barbecue sandwich.

She did the math.“I took a 5-pound piece of pork shoulder from Costco.

It comes two five-pound shoulders in a package for $20.“From (the leftovers of one) $10 pork shoulder, I got 8

cups of meat, and for each one of the dishes I created, Ineeded 2 cups of meat. Divide that $10 investment intofive meals and (with other ingredients like pasta and veg-gies) you are in the $5 range for meals.”

With the Great Recession still wreaking havoc onhousehold budgets, getting creative in the kitchen todaymeans mixing more of that kind of pragmatic arithmeticwith culinary imagination.

And while Phillips knows how to stretch her cookingdollars, Melissa d’Arabian, the ebullient host of FoodNetwork’s “Ten Dollar Dinners” has a treasure-trove ofshopping strategies for feeding her husband and fourdaughters under the age of 5 on pinched pennies.

In d’Arabian’s case, talk isn’t cheap. She grew up in apoor family and relishes telling the story of how her moth-er once made dinner for the entire family for 32 centsusing chicken wings, “not drummettes, but the leftoversfrom the butcher,” she said.

“I am a firm believer in not overspending,” saidd’Arabian. “It’s in my blood. Sometimes it’s been out ofnecessity, but honestly, I feel good about saving. I likebeing a good steward of my resources.”

Her philosophy on grocery shopping is that the more aconsumer is willing to do her research and pay attention,the less she will spend. To help others cut their grocerybill, she offers these tips:

Go meat: The meat department operates on a lossleader system — a store will advertise certain cuts “reallycheap” to draw customers in. If you can manage it,d’Arabian says, buy more than what you need of theadvertised product and stick it in the freezer. “You willnever pay full price for meat again,” she says.

“Bean Night”: Also called “Inexpensive Protein Night,”this weekly ritual stars eggs, protein-fortified pasta orhomemade pizza as the entree.

Luxe cheap: Buy a few wild mushrooms from the bulkbin and add to gently scrambled eggs. “It will cost youless than a dollar and your omelets will seem so fancy.”

Dairy queen: If you drink lots of milk, find out from thestore’s dairy manager when milk nearing its expirationdate will go on “manager’s special.” It’s not advertised, soyou have to stay on top of it, d’Arabian says. Ditto yogurt.

Drugstore cowgirl: Again, the loss leader comes intoplay. Check out the drugstore fliers for sale itemsdesigned to attract customers. “I can always get cannedsalmon for $1.59 on a drugstore sale.”

Speaking of canned fish: Buy some expensive typesof tuna now and then, d’Arabian said. Save the cheapstuff for lunchtime sandwiches, but try the tuna packed inoil or marinated with spices if it’s going to headline theevening meal. An expensive can of tuna is rarely 75cents more than a regular can of tuna, but it elevates themeal.

Eat out of the larder: Money extra tight? Eat out ofthe pantry, fridge and freezer before shopping again. Useall those accumulated crazy canned goods before buyingmore food.

Cheap, cheaper, cheapest: Even inexpensive ingredi-ents can cost less. A 10-pound bag of potatoes can cost99 cents on sale, but those same russets, loose in a bin,can cost 99 cents a pound. Canned beans are cheap,but dried beans are cheaper still.

Fridge management 101: Once a week, scan thecontents of your fridge for any wilting veggies and openperishables (such as half-full sour cream containers) andleverage those ingredients into your menu. “I don’t carehow cheap it was,” d’Arabian said. “If you throw it out, itwas expensive.”
