PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — To call into remembrance the ultimate sacrifice paid by the nation’s peace officers, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation in 1962 designating May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day. The week the day falls in is designated Police Week.

This year May 11-15 was Police Week, and the 21st Security Forces Squadron held and participated in a number of events to honor those who choose law enforcement as their career field, both military and civilian.

In addition to honoring fallen comrades, the day and week is an opportunity to provide awareness about the challenges faced in the law enforcement field, said Master Sgt. John Hill, 21st SFS.

“It’s a good opportunity for us all to come together for a good cause,” said Master Sgt. George Lanstrum, 21st SFS supervisor of standard evaluation and training. “It gives us a chance to take a moment to remember fallen officers.”

Events held on base included a 12-hour vigil ceremony at the flag pole display in front of the wing headquarters building May 12; the 21st SFS Shoot House Challenge, a K9 demonstration and weapons display May 14; and a law enforcement memorial ceremony at Memorial Park, in con-junction with the national ceremony in Washington, D.C., May 15.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Members of the 21st Security Forces Squadron participate in the closing ceremony at the fallen defenders vigil May 12, 2015. The Airmen took turns standing guard by the American flag and a display honoring the fallen defenders at the 21st Space Wing Headquarters building throughout the 12-hour remembrance. The vigil was one of several events recognizing Police Week, including a shoot house challenge, K9 military working dog demonstration, and a law enforcement memorial at Colorado Springs Memorial Park.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Airmen from the Air Force Reserve Command’s 302nd Airlift Wing and their U.S. Forest Service partners wrapped up their annual Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System training May 18 here.

The four days of currency and re-cur-rency certification ensured the Wing’s 10 MAFFS aircrews, support personnel and MAFFS-equipped C-130s are ready when requests for assistance are made by the U.S. Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center. The aircrews flew 23 sorties and performed 119 training drops in remote target sites in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest, Bureau of Land Management land and military ranges.

With so many moving parts for both the civilian and military agencies involved in the certification process, it is vital for all to come together to ensure successful training.

“Teamwork was great, as far as the forest service and other civilian agencies, [train-ing] worked fantastic. [302nd AW aircraft] maintenance did a great job, having the planes ready. It’s extra work having the spare airplane prepped and ready, kudos

to them. It enabled us to get all of our training done, on time,” said Lt. Col. Luke Thompson, chief of aerial firefighting for the 302nd AW.

Once the MAFFS units are loaded into the C-130s by teams comprised of person-nel from the wing’s aerial port squadron, aircraft maintenance and loadmasters from the flying squadron, , it is up to the U.S. Forest Service to make sure the aircrews get the most out of their sorties and drops.

“With each of the training sessions it’s very important that we train like we are going to play,” said Kim Christensen,” Deputy Assistant Director of Operations for the U.S. Forest Service. “We want to make sure that the training drops are as realistic as they can be to what they are going to experience.”

The training this year also gave the air-crews an opportunity to get back into aerial firefighting mode after a slower 2014 season for most of the MAFFS-trained Airmen.

“[I enjoy] just getting everyone together, knocking the rust off. Last year many of us didn’t fly MAFFS so we are just getting back into the swing of things. We all take this mission seriously. We know that we are training for something that we are likely to be called out for and be utilized for all our abilities,” said Senior Master

Sgt. Joe Rorick, MAFFS C-130 loadmaster instructor.

In the 1970s, Congress established the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) Program to aid the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Typically, when all other civilian air tank-ers are activated but further assistance is needed, the U.S. Forest Service, through the National Interagency Fire Center, can request the aid of the U.S. Air Force’s MAFFS flying units.

The training included both classroom and flight certification for military flight crews, civilian lead plane pilots and various support personnel to include Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Tanker Base personnel, Pueblo Tanker Base personnel and the Pueblo Interagency Dispatch. Additional personnel from CalFire, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and the State of North Carolina also provided support during the certification training at Peterson AFB.

“As the years have gone on, we’ve con-tinued to refine the MAFFS mission. We’ve continued to define training and experience requirements, both for DOD personnel and our personnel. We’ve gotten to a point now, where I would say, with MAFFS it’s plug and play,” said Christensen.

Retardant dropped from a MAFFS-equipped C-130 can cover an area one-quarter of a mile long and 100 feet wide to aid in the containment of wildland fires.

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AFNS) — We’ve all done it; in a vain sense of curi-osity to see if our social presence has made any kind of impact on the world. Just admit it — you’ve Googled yourself.

Since entering the golden age of social me-dia, it seems that now it’s not hard to gather a handful of information on just about anyone, even ourselves.

But isn’t that the point? It’s why we blast pictures of high school graduations, trips to Europe, and all our favorite music and movie “Likes” on our profiles. We want to be heard and seen, we want to share our accomplish-ments and victories and find support when life gets hard.

Social media has allowed us to network and reach across the barriers of time and space to share our story, build partnerships and con-nect with people from around the world we may never have had the chance to.

It’s not hard to get caught up in the exchange of information and let our guard down, es-pecially when we believe our information is safe. Generally, the information we share is harmless.

We start to run into trouble when the in-

formation we share across various social net-works is strung together like pieces of a puzzle, creating a larger snapshot of our lives than we realize. When coupled with public records and open-source content, the information we share online can create vulnerabilities in our personal and professional lives.

But, where do we draw the line? When does information sharing become too much of a good thing?

Just as you would lock the front door of your home or secure your wallet, social media users should aim to lockup and secure their online personal information and do regular checkups of their social thumbprint.

This should include Googling yourself to

not just see how awesome and popular you are, but to see what information is readily available or associated with your name. From there, you can take the necessary steps to protect or remove potentially revealing information.

Another important social checkup habit people should practice is digging into a web-site’s privacy and security settings. All social media sites require users to accept and Privacy Act agreements and terms of use guidelines. Unfortunately, nearly everyone accepts these terms without every reading what they agreed to. This is probably one of the biggest culprits of overexposing personal information.

The agreements between social network-ing sites and users are designed to help keep personal information safe. However, it’s our responsibility to ensure we use them to their fullest potential and not blindly accept new security settings without checking to see if our information is still secure.

The below list includes some additional best practices for keeping your social thumbprint safe and secure:

1. Think before you post: A good rule of

What’s your social thumbprint?Staff Sgt.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Whether it’s for school, work or ordering food at a restaurant, clear and effective communication is im-portant. The younger a person is when they start using good communication practices, the better he or she will be able to express themselves through-out life.

The Peterson Toastmasters club held an eight-week youth program at the R. P. Lee Youth Center. The program end-ed with a graduation ceremony April 29. The goal of the program was to impart basic speaking skills to youth.

Skip Bradley, vice president-educa-tion for the Peterson Toastmasters and command historian, Headquarters Air Force Space Command, worked with youth center staff to prepare teens for the speaking portion of the Military Youth of the Year competition earlier this year. The tutoring went so well the youth center staff asked Bradley if he and the club could offer a program for younger kids.

Toastmasters offers a youth leader-ship program, but it is geared toward teenagers, so Bradley said that mate-rial was adapted for a younger group. The adaptations proved successful for the 12-15 kids who participated most weeks. Mike Pierson, past president, Peterson Toastmasters and co-chair of the Youth Toastmasters project, and club member Terrence Smith, assisted Bradley with several sessions.

“The evidence of success is that they remembered the rules of public speaking and used them,” Bradley said. “It’s voluntary so the fact they came back is evidence of success, and

they improved.”The sessions involved various ac-

tivities and games to get the kids talking and using rules of good pub-lic speaking, such as making eye con-tact, speaking clearly, standing up and enunciating words.

“The enthusiasm of the participants is what brought me back. What struck me is that they wanted me to come back,” Bradley said.

All youth had opportunities to give impromptu talks before their peers in each session. They also reviewed public speaking principles each time. Though the age range was pre-teen, the kids found value in the sessions.

“I really liked it,” said Jhane Buckner, 10. “It was really fun playing the games and learning to speak better.”

Lessons learned in the program expand beyond just standing before crowds and benefit the kids in other applications as well, said Nick Moore, Children and Youth Programs assis-tant at the youth center.

“It’s great. It’s definitely been helping in other things we do,” he said. “When we ask questions or play games they stand up to talk and enunciate... they have confidence in the way they talk now after doing this. There is a definite difference.”

Bradley said he was surprised at the number of the kids who wanted to be part of the program and how much they remembered. Because of the re-sponse and initial success, there are plans to organize another set of classes at the center in the fall.

The Peterson Toastmasters meet at the base chapel Tuesdays from 11:35 a.m.-12:35 p.m. The club is open to anyone with regular access to Peterson AFB.

The club offered an eight-week program at the R.P. Lee Youth Center teaching the basic principles of public speaking. The group plans to offer the program in the fall.

Commentary by Richard TaylorWilliam J. Perry Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies

to the U.S. Northern Command

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — It’s already in the human psyche, so no one needs to learn this anew. But everyone needs to be reminded. From a leadership perspective it’s important to capture lessons in a format that people are able to easily remember.

For all things relating to sexual harassment and the potential of escalation to sexual violence in the workplace it’s about decorum. It’s about culture. It’s about the supervisor, the flight commander, the division chief, the director, and the boss in general who establishes and maintains a culture to disallow the influence of sex and gender in the conduct of anything to do with mission execution.

My definition is simple: Sexual harassment is

anything that you won’t do or say in front of your grandmother or grandfather.

Granted, there are exceptions. But everyone knows what they stop doing when the elders are watching.

Let’s break it down:- Do you belittle your grandmother because she’s

a woman? Nope.- Do you make sexual advances on anyone in

front of your grandmother or grandfather? Not unless you want to be scolded, so nope.

- Do you make obscene gestures or use profanity in front of your grandmother or grandfather? Nope.

- Are discussions of sexual favors appropriate in front of your grandmother or grandfather? Right, they are never appropriate, but you espe-cially wouldn’t broach the topic in front of them?

- How about inappropriate touching? Nope.- What about jokes about people based on noth-

ing more than their gender? Not in front of your

grandmother.- Offensive comments about a person’s sex? Not

a chance.But is all this stuff sometimes in your head?

Maybe. Even the most foul-mouthed individual turns it off in front of grandma. It doesn’t mat-ter if you are a supervisor, a co-worker, a visitor, a customer, the lowest person on the totem pole or the person who is in charge. The workplace is a zone of no profanity, no innuendo, no sexual gestures, no obscenities, no sexual advances, no inappropriate touching. You get it. You don’t do it in front of your grandmother, so why would you do it here? Find that switch and turn it off. Know your part and do it.

(April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. Although the month is over, this commentary is a reminder that we must all know our part and do our part every day to prevent sexual assault.)

Know your part, do your part

Friends, family, Airmen gather to remember SUMIT 38

(U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Daniel Butterfield)

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. - Chief Master Sgt. Dave Carey, chief C-130 flight engineer of the 731st Airlift Squadron, speaks to friends, family and members of the 302nd Airlift Wing during the 20-year SUMIT 38 remembrance on May 3, 2015. In May 1995, a 302nd AW C-130, call sign SUMIT 38, was returning from Boise after dropping off Modular Airborne Fire Fighting trainees when it went down and six Airmen perished. The Airmen were Lt. Col. Robert Buchout, aircraft commander, 1st Lt. Lance Doherty, pilot, Capt. Geoff Boyd, navigator, Chief Master Sgt. Jimmie Vail, flight engineer, and loadmasters Master Sgt. Jay Kemp and Staff Sgt. Michael Scheideman. “Their loss sent shockwaves through the 302nd Airlift Wing that are still being felt today. Six citizen Airmen, in no way different from all of us gathered here today in uniform, were doing their duty on May 13, 1995,” said Lt. Col. Richard Pantusa, director of operations, 731st Airlift Squadron.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Air Force female volleyball team is in town, bringing tryouts to Peterson AFB before the Armed Forces Volleyball Tournament held in Detroit, Michigan.

Beginning with 16 females from bases all over the world, the group came together from May 4-21 for try-outs and practice. By the end of their trip, the team will consist of 10-12 females that will go on to the tournament.

“The team has a lot of confidence but is also very humble, no one is better than the other and they vibe really well with each other,” said Lani Kekahuna, the team coach.

Kekahuna has been a stateside Air Force volleyball coach for five years and an international Air Force coach for eight years. She is also a long time volleyball player herself.

While at Peterson the team played a match against Peterson chiefs and first sergeants, fitness staff and a few other teams for practice. They also had a scrimmage against the U.S. Women’s Volleyball team May 15.

The team is a mix between players who have been on the Air Force team for years and some newcomers. But the reasons behind playing are unanimous — the unity, trust

and chemistry between the players, along with it being team based.

“Playing volleyball has transformed throughout life. In college it became a job and now it’s more of a fun hobby,” said Kristina Stewart, who has played for the team for four years. “You are also constantly growing, you’re never going to reach your max potential because there is always some-thing new to learn, it’s a very mental game and not a lot of people understand that.”

Before try-outs the coaches will get a list of places to hold the try-outs. For Kekahuna, coming to Colorado was a blast from the past.

“I wanted to come back to Colorado because training at this altitude will help us when we go to the tournament in Detroit,” said Kekahuna. “But also, I used to live here and it is nice to come back and see the differences in the (Colorado) Springs area.”

The Peterson Fitness Center staff provided lodging, set up scrimmages, yoga classes, swimming times and provided a home away from home for them during their grueling practices.

“Out of all the camps I have attended, the Peterson fitness staff is by far the most professional, helpful staff I have ever experience,” said Kekahuna. “All the other facilities have been great too, but the Peterson staff is outstanding.”

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. (AFNS) — In 1978, Congress established Asian-Pacific American Heritage Week to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans to U.S. history and culture. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush extended the celebration to the entire month.

On Oct. 23, 1992, Congress officially des-ignated May of each year as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to rec-ognize the achievements and contributions of Americans of Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry to the rich heritage and cultural fabric of the U.S.

The theme for 2015 is “Many Cultures, One Voice: Promote Equality and Inclusion.”

Congress selected May for this celebration because it includes the anniversaries of the arrival in the U.S. of the first Japanese im-migrants on May 7, 1843, and the completion of the first transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869, partially by the labor of thousands of Chinese immigrants

The term “Asia-Pacific Islands” includes the continent of Asia; the Pacific island groups of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia; the island groups of the Western and Central Pacific, such as the Philippines and the Marianas; and Hawaii, the 50th state of the U.S. About 5 percent of the population of the U.S. is of Asian or Pacific Islander descent.

Perhaps the most well-known Air Force member of Asian-Pacific Islander ancestry is Ellison Onizuka. Born in 1946 in Hawaii, he entered the Air Force in January 1970 and flew a variety of aircraft, eventually logging more than 1,700 flying hours. In January 1978, he became an astronaut candidate for NASA.

Onizuka flew his first space shuttle mission aboard the Discovery in January 1985. He was a mission specialist aboard the orbiter Challenger when it exploded a little over one minute after launch from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on Jan. 28, 1986. Congress posthumously promoted him to colonel, and the Air Force renamed Sunnyvale Air Force Station, California, after Onizuka on Jan.

26, 1994. The Air Force officially closed the installation in September 2011.

Another part of the Asian-Pacific American heritage is the Army’s 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which was made up of Japanese-Americans from Hawaii and oth-ers that were held in detention camps. The detention camps were established by the U.S. government in February 1942 in result of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Imperial Navy on Dec. 7, 1941, and housed 120,000 Japanese-Americans who had been living in Pacific Coast states.

They, like the Tuskegee Airmen, fought prejudice at home, as well as tyranny over-seas, during World War II.

By May 1945, the 442nd RCT and the 100th IB, fighting in Italy and southern France, had become the most highly decorated U.S. mili-tary units of their size. They had accumulated more than 18,000 individual decorations for bravery, including 18 Medals of Honor; 52 Distinguished Service Crosses; and 9,500 Purple Hearts, with many Soldiers earning multiple awards. In addition, the two units collectively received seven Presidential Unit Citations.

One of the most well-known members of the 442nd RCT was Daniel K. Inouye, the first U.S. congressman of Japanese ances-try and the second longest-serving senator. During World War II, he received a battle-field commission and promotion to second lieutenant. He also received many decora-tions to include the Distinguished Service Cross, which was later upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2000. He is among 30 Asian-Americans who have received America’s highest military award. He served as U.S. senator from Hawaii from to 1963 until his death on Dec. 17, 2012.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – As you prepare for the next PCS, here are five tips to a successful move.

(U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. J. Aaron Breeden)

FORT CARSON, Colo. – A contracted packer loads a stack of boxes onto a moving truck May 12. Movers contracted by the Department of Defense are responsible for the wrapping, boxing, packing and shipping of a service member’s household goods. Additionally, these moving companies are liable for goods lost or damaged during a move, whereas service members who opt for a do-it-yourself move are solely responsible for their property.

By Staff Sgt. J. Aaron Breeden21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — PCS season is here and so are the movers. Yet have no fear, “jip-so” is here.

JPPSO, that is — the Joint Personal Property Shipping Office.

Although officially an Air Force District of Washington asset, the JPPSO-North Central offices throughout the Colorado Springs area are the largest of their kind in the entire Department of Defense, with an area of responsi-bility that includes 24 states within the United States, as well as all of Canada and Greenland.

According to the Colorado Springs JPPSO office, in 2014 they handled a total of 79,605 inbound and outbound shipments, 60 percent of which were handled during May and August.

Thomas Thurlby, JPPSO-NC chief of shipment distri-bution, stressed the importance not changing a moving date once scheduled, unless due to a genuine emergency.

“In order to secure a moving company, especially dur-ing the peak season, 21 days is optimal considering there are only 12 packing companies in Colorado Springs to support an average of 1,500 families moving from this area May 15 through July 2,” said Thurlby.

To compound this issue, these same packing compa-nies are also responsible for unpacking the nearly 1,500 in-bound families during this same time frame, he said.

Considering military moves are such an involved pro-cess, Thurlby said members should get to JPPSO with their orders as soon as they become available. This helps to avoid rescheduling report-no-later-than dates and other similar, but major, issues.

Tech. Sgt. Rich Keidle, JPPSO-NC NCO in charge of personal property processing offices, explained that the moving process begins with a site survey.

Keidle said a representative from the moving company

will come to your home in advance of the moving team to assess the approximate weight of your household goods, how many packers will be needed, how long the process will take and how many trucks will be required.

Come moving day, Keidle offered insight as to how to make a military move as seamless as possible.

“Preparation will dictate how smooth your move is,” said Keidle.

He added that ensuring your home is clean and free of tripping hazards will make the movers’ job much easier.

With regards to the safety of one’s personal property, Keidle said expensive and irreplaceable belongings, such as jewelry and family heirlooms, be moved by the member. Other items like furniture, electronics and other items should be photographed or videotaped to document condi-tion or working order before being packed by the movers.

Specifically, Keidle advised that members should docu-ment the make, model and serial number of all high-dollar items such as TVs and stereo equipment.

This documentation will come in handy should a claim need to be filed to replace or repair items lost or damaged by a moving company.

Keidle also said that service members and spouses should be aware that any lost or damaged items must be reported within 75 days of household goods being de-livered. Once loss or damage is reported claims must be filed within nine months of the delivery date. Any claims filed beyond the nine month deadline forfeit a member’s right to full replacement value.

Considering how stressful a move can be, Keidle reiter-ated the importance of planning.

“Preparation, or lack thereof, always dictates how smooth your PCS will go,” said Keidle. “Staying in con-tact with your local transportation office to discuss your options can help relieve much of the stress associated with your move.”

For more information about planning your next mili-tary move contact the Peterson AFB JPPSO at 556-4196.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Staff Sgts. Travis Boroff and Timothy Norwood, 21st Security Forces Squadron, and military working dog Jack, demonstrate military working dog capabilities at the 21st SFS Training Center, May 14, 2015. The demonstration was part of Police Week activities at the 21st SFS.


PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – The 21st Security Forces Squadron hosted a shoot house challenge for area armed forces members and local law enforcement in recognition of Police Week, May 14, 2015. The shoot house challenge consisted of several obstacles including tire flipping, physical training, door breaching, target shooting with weapons equipped with lasers, close quarters combat and a dummy drag. Other activities included a K9 military working dog demonstration.

activities often carried out in the law enforcement field and, at the same time, raise funds for the Pikes Peak Region Peace Officers’ Memorial. All proceeds from entry fees for the challenge and a barbecue lunch will go to the memorial fund, Hill said. The event raised about $550 for the fund.

The challenge gathered a number of teams and spectators to cheer on competitors. Two-person teams took on a series of challenges including a tire flip, close quarters breaching, physical training, dummy drag, red man aggressive person control, and three shooting challenges — Virtra simulator, Hogan’s Alley and beam hit. The combined total of each team member was calculated to determine awards.

The challenge was dominated by two teams, Staff Sgts. Jared Rosier and Adam Ross from the 21st SFS; and Staff Sgt. Eric Leyva, 50th Space Communications Squadron at Schriever AFB and Tech. Sgt. Timothy Tichawa, Advanced Space Operations School, Peterson AFB. Tichawa and Leyva won the Virtra and breaching challenges, but that was not enough to carry the day as Rosier and Ross won the tire flip and PT challenges to claim the overall victory.

During the awards ceremony, Lt. Col. Nicole Roberts, 21st Security Force Squadron commander, expressed her gratitude to those who serve in law enforcement.

“Thanks for putting on the badge every day,” she said. “It’s an amazing day to commemorate our career field.”

Col. Reginald Ash, 21st Mission Support Group com-mander, also expressed his respect for the career field, say-ing he sleeps better at night knowing they were out there protecting all of us.

By 1st Lt. Samantha DegnanAir Force Space Command Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center activated Detachment 1 at Air Force Space Command in a ceremony here May 12.

Maj. Gen. Theresa Carter, AFIMSC com-mander, presided over the ceremony as Col. Nathan Mooney assumed command of the newly established detachment.

Carter highlighted the importance of the detachment activation ceremony, say-ing, “It’s a visible way to demonstrate that we are one, moving forward and making progress, but two, that we are entrusting the detachments to the capable hands of a variety of leaders.”

“Our focus needs to be, and should con-tinue to be, supporting commanders out in the field and in the major commands,” Carter said. “We really pushed to put gradu-ating group commanders in charge of our detachments for a couple of reasons. One was to make sure that they never forgot what it took out in the field to support their squadrons, their group, and their wing where the rubber meets the road.”

AFIMSC was created as part of an Air Force plan to create efficiencies by realigning organizations at Headquarters Air Force, major commands, numbered air forces and field operating agencies.

“Continuity and change are really im-portant and I think Space Command really embodies those two elements. You can’t take a day off in Space Command. It doesn’t hap-pen, so your constant 24/7 mission certainly embodies that continuity. The mission never sleeps,” the general said.

Detachment 1 will be responsible for providing support and coordination of Air Force Space Command-specific installa-tion and mission support requirements and priorities.

Upon assuming command of AFIMSC Detachment 1, Mooney said, “Today we be-gin the process here in Space Command to centralize our key installation and mission support capabilities in order to more effec-tively and efficiently support our Airmen in the field who have the daunting task of

meeting unprecedented operational require-ments. As we all know, failure for them is not an option. This is why today’s detachment activation is so important. It cements the partnership between AFIMSC, Air Force Materiel Command and Space Command as we work to ensure operational success for our wings and our mission support professionals.”

“I am especially proud of the opportunity to serve as the commander of Detachment One and to lead this exceptional team... as we take the Air Force’s newest transfor-mation initiative from concept to reality,” Mooney added.

AFIMSC Detachment 1 will be located on Peterson AFB. It will be comprised of 13 military and 12 civilian positions from the civil engineering, security forces, communi-cations, finance, and logistics career fields.

“Detachment 1 will serve as the conduit between AFIMSC, AFSPC, and AFSPC-assigned units. A tremendous amount of teamwork has taken place to make this transition to a world-class Installation and Mission Support Center possible. We’re eager to build upon this initial success to ensure our wings are well supported in the future,” said Scott Anderson, Director of Logistics, Installations and Mission Support at AFSPC.

The activation of AFIMSC helps the Air Force meet a Department of Defense man-date to reduce management staff levels by at least 20 percent and make the best use of limited resources to manage and operate its installations.

Carter stressed, “Anything and every-thing that we do, we don’t do it for the sake of the AFIMSC or the detachments. We are doing it on behalf of, and in support of, the various MAJCOMS and mission sets that we are supporting.”

“We have the opportunity to create a net-work of not only staff that remain behind at the MAJCOM, but really the entire AFIMSC enterprise, which includes our headquarters, our 10 detachments, and six primary sub-ordinate units,” Carter said. “Working in tandem, working collaboratively and work-ing together, I have no doubt that we can provide the effective, efficient, responsive and trusted support that our commanders need.”

By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (AFNS) — The Air Force is introduc-ing several personnel and manpower initiatives to meet increased mission requirements outlined in the fiscal year 2016 President’s Budget.

In order to enhance operational and mission capacity in support of combatant commanders, and to maintain readiness, the Air Force is setting a minimum active-duty force level of 317,000 as established in the fiscal 2016 President’s Budget submission. The Air Force is undergo-ing a concerted effort to stabilize and grow the force by fiscal 2017, to include addressing key gaps in the nuclear, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and support career fields.

The Air Force is using the most direct way to grow the force by increasing the accessions of enlisted Airmen en-tering basic military training and the numbers of officers being commissioned. To complement those efforts, the Air Force is also offering opportunities to retain key experience and increase operational manning levels through targeted voluntary high year of tenure (HYT) extensions, Voluntary Limited Period of Active Duty Program affording opportuni-ties to members of the Air Reserve Component to serve an active-duty tour, and Direct Duty Prior Service Enlistment Program opening doors for prior-service enlisted members to return to active duty.

The focus of these programs is to increase the number of experienced Airmen in undermanned specialties such as nuclear, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and special operations. The Air Force specialties covered under these programs were not eligible to participate in any of the targeted fiscal 2014 voluntary or involuntary force management programs. The one exception was the Quality Force Review Board, where all Airmen with some negative quality factors were considered regardless of their specialty.

“While we are working to increase our overall number of Airmen, we particularly focused on adding mid-level experienced Airmen in some of our currently undermanned specialties to help meet mission requirements immediately,” said Brig. Gen. Brian Kelly, the director of military force management policy.

The new programs being launched are designed to meet the need for experienced Airmen in critically undermanned specialties such as nuclear, cyber, intelligence, remotely pi-loted aircraft and special operations.

Voluntary HYT extensions are being offered to senior airmen, staff sergeants, technical sergeants and master sergeants in targeted specialties; however, Airmen will only be approved if recommended for the extension by their unit commander or civilian leader. The length of the extension can vary depending on each Airman’s situation. Specific details on the fiscal 2015 HYT extension program will be released by AFPC and available via myPers May 18.

Opportunities to serve an active-duty tour for a period of up to three years will be offered to members of the Air Reserve Component in targeted Air Force specialties. The Voluntary Limited Period of Active Duty Program allows the Air Force to increase experience in mid-level grades by leveraging trained Airmen from the Air Force Reserves and Air National Guard. These Airmen will receive the same benefits as active-duty Airmen, such as qualifying for the Post 9/11 GI Bill, while serving a tour on active duty. Further information, such as which grades and specialties are eligible, will also be available in the coming weeks.

Under the Direct Duty Prior Service Enlistment Program, applicants must have separated from the active-duty Air Force, or be separated from or currently serving in the ANG or Air Force Reserve in the grade of senior airman through technical sergeant as a fully qualified 5- or 7-level in one of the designated Air Force specialties. Army, Navy or Marine Corps service members may also be eligible if they served in a career field equivalent to one of the specialties targeted in the fiscal 2015 program. Under this program, applicants are not eligible to receive a reenlistment bonus.

Airmen interested in applying for HYT or the Voluntary Limited Period of Active Duty Program are encouraged to review the additional eligibility details on myPers. Prior ser-vice members interested in Direct Duty Prior Service Enlisted Program can find information at http://www.airforce.com/contact-us/faq/prior-service/ or contact their local recruiter.

Increased mission requirements open doors for continued service

information stored in a browser for faster ac-cess and simply “X-out” once done; however, this practice makes it easy for someone to fol-low behind and gain access to your account.

5. Once forgotten, twice exposed: With each new networking site or app, our infor-mation quickly becomes duplicated across multiple platforms; however, just because you moved on, doesn’t mean your information did. Keep note of what sites you still use and delete old accounts you don’t use such as an old dating profile, registry or blog.

6. The guessing game: How easy would it be for someone to guess your password or answer your security questions? Compare these passwords and questions against your profile and ensure you’re not unintention-ally giving away the answers. It may be easy to remember your favorite football team or superhero as a password, but how easy would it be to get that information on your personal profile and gain access to your account?

7. Cookie monsters: Internet cookies work to tag and track computers and user behavior. This information is used by mar-keters to target specific groups of people and tailor advertising. It’s important to only allow cookies from trusted sites and regularly clear your browser and machine using a cookie cleaner.

8. Go phish: Online confidence scams, otherwise known as phishing, is a way for hackers or companies to gain access to

personal and sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card numbers. This is done through what seems to be legitimate online communications such as games, chatrooms, online payments, Wi-Fi hotspots, news links and more. The best way to avoid becoming a victim of phishing scams it to closely scrutinize the source of informa-tion, and never disclose personal information such as credit card numbers, passwords or addresses over the internet without double checking the security of the website. Again, when in doubt, keep it to yourself.

9. All the world’s a stage: It may seem harmless to keep our personal social media pages open for public viewing, however, by leaving the virtual door open to the whole world we leave ourselves vulnerable to un-wanted attention. Take control of your de-fault privacy settings and limit the viewing power of your audience to a personal VIP list.

10. The buck starts and stops with you: Ultimately, you control what information is available about you. Don’t give online scam-mers, predators or hackers a free ticket to your personal information. Take control, take action and help keep the Internet a safe place to socialize.

Guest speakerMountaineer Chris Klinke will be a guest speaker from

The tragedy was the largest loss of life in the history of K2 mountaineering. At 28,251 feet tall, K2 is roughly 800 feet shorter than world’s tallest peak -- Mount Everest -- but has the reputation of being far more dangerous. Klinke will share his unique perspective on resilience, team-work, critical decision-making and risk management. The talk is open to all DoD cardholders. For information call 556-6768 or email [email protected].
