Nellis Airmen answer call for help By Senior Airman Daniel Hughes 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Airmen from the 58th Rescue Squadron, 66th Rescue Squadron and the 57th Wing aided a hiker stranded in the mountains near Bishop, Calif., June 14. The Mammoth Lakes, Calif., Sheriff ’s Office contacted the 23rd Wing Command Post at Moody AFB, Ga., and told them the information about the lost hiker. The 58th

RQS and 66th RQS were given the mission. Two HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters assigned to the 66th RQS departed with four crew members on each aircraft along with two 58th RQS pararescuemen per helicopter left Nellis AFB at approximately 7:20 a.m. on a one and a half hour f light to the last known area of the lost hiker. The rescue team was faced with the difficult task of searching for the stranded hiker from the air in unfamiliar territory. “We split our two-ship [helicopter for-

Jeffrey Cooper, 414th Combat Training Squadron pilot f lying with the 66th RQS, “The crew observed an orange jacket laid out on top of a flat rock in a perfectly flat fashion. We overflew, and then noticed a backpack nearby as well.” Cooper said they elected to use the hoist to lower the PJs from the air to conduct a ground search due to the rugged terrain. The pararescuemen found the hiker after conducting a ground search in the area. “We hoisted in from 40-50 feet into a narrow ravine and climbed 100 meters up the mountain to reach the lost hiker,” said a 58th Rescue Squadron pararescueman. “When we reached the lost hiker, we gave him water to hydrate and to help stabilize him before strop hoisting [a cradling system used to lift patients] him to the HH-60 Pave Hawk.” After everyone was safely on board they f lew the hiker to the Bishop airport, where an ambulance picked up the survivor and took him to a local hospital. A pararescueman later said being able to take part in a rescue mission like this is rewarding because they are saving a life. He indicated that it is also satisfying for the team to be able to exercise their skills at home in addition to in a deployed environment.

Combating stress By Lt. Col. Paul Tombarge 21st Operations Group commander

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Stress. The Oxford dictionary defines stress as “a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances.” We’ve all experienced it; some more than others. With the continuing budget shortfalls, uncertainty of sequestration furloughs, a pending compliance inspection and the upcoming summer move cycle, many of us are feeling much more stress than usual. The key is how we deal with that stress. Bev Klug, director of Mindfulness-Based Programs at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, notes that there are two distinct types of stress - chronic and acute. Acute stress is temporary and can often be motivating, such as nearing a deadline. Chronic stress continues to build and can lead to long-term problems. We all have different thresholds for stress, but there are a few tools we can all use to help prevent chronic stress from taking effect. Realize that whatever you might be going through is probably temporary and you are probably not the

only one experiencing it. Although it may not seem like it at the time, whatever challenge you are facing will eventually pass and if you share what you’re going through with a friend or co-worker, you’ll likely find you’re not alone. Strive to have a positive attitude. Don’t dwell on a problem or event that happened in the past. Instead, try to learn from the event and move on in a positive direction. The Air Force’s Comprehensive Airmen Fitness program identifies “The 5 Cs of positive behavior” - care, commit, connect, communicate and celebrate. The 5 Cs essentially take the idea of a positive attitude and apply it to our daily lives. Care for our wingmen by showing respect and support, commit to excellence in all we do, connect with others, communicate in a positive way, and celebrate positive results and accomplishments. A good attitude really is contagious. If your objective seems out of reach, set smaller, more attainable, interim goals that will lead you to that overall objective. Doing so will make the path less overwhelming and help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Several years ago, I completed an Ironman distance triathlon: a 2.4 mile open water

swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run. A 140.6 mile physical challenge can seem overwhelming to anyone, but if you focus on one challenge at a time and strive to reach the next checkpoint along the way, the path seems more achievable and you will eventually reach the finish line, as did I. Focus on maintaining balance across your pillars of resiliency. The Air Force’s CAF philosophy identifies these as physical, social, mental and spiritual but I prefer to think of them as work, family, mind, body and spirit. Being mentally and physically fit will help you combat stress. Just as importantly, you need to balance work and family. However you define your individual pillars of resiliency, if they fall out of balance, stress will build up over time. Unless you refocus your priorities, the building will collapse. Periods of mental or emotional strain are inevitable. Use the tools at your disposal to prevent chronic stress. Prepare yourself by being mentally and physically fit, maintain a positive attitude, realize the current situation is only temporary, and focus on achievable goals. If you do, you will reach the finish line and be stronger for doing so.

Filling squares By Senior Master Sgt. Vincent Miller 2nd Maintenance Squadron

BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — As Airmen, we are more than familiar with the need to fill the proverbial squares as we strive to progress in our military career. To be competitive for awards and promotions, we must commit ourselves to goals such as education, passing the fitness exam, and community service. It is through completion of these expectations and requirements that we become better leaders, managers and Airmen. However, somewhere along the way, we fail to internalize the importance of why we fill these squares. In reality, the squares are designed to make us better and provide a separation between the willing and unwill-

ing - the committed and uncommitted. The squares help identify Airmen who are motivated and willing to go the extra mile to better themselves, their team, and the Air Force. It is this drive towards self-improvement that separates one from the masses and establishes his or her true identity. One square that requires a great deal of commitment is the pursuit of education. As we continually strive to become that “whole person,” we must challenge ourselves intellectually and work toward attaining a certification; associate, bachelor’s, or even a master’s degree. Attending school is not easy and takes sacrifice. It means spending your time writing a research paper, while everyone else is enjoying the weekend. It means taking your textbook on the f lightline and study-

Nellis celebrates life of one of its best By Airman 1st Class Joshua Kleinholz 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — On Dec. 7, 1941, a boy named Billy R. Sparks was celebrating his seventh birthday in the small quiet community of Hardyville, Ky. Born to parents Coy and Kathleen Sparks, Billy became a student of military history at a relatively young age, studying the Civil War and other U.S. conflicts in order to satisfy his already profound thirst for knowledge. For Billy, Dec. 7 was just his birthday. It held no other significance, no other baggage. It was his day to be celebrated by friends and family. As he blew out the last of his seven candles in the small Kentucky town, he was unaware that Dec. 7 would never be normal again. He didn’t know that 4,500 miles away, 353 Japanese aircraft were converging on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, determined to make some history of their own. “That made a big impression on him,” said Allen Reid Sparks of his father, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Billy “Sparky” Sparks. “That was a time when we had a lot of pride in our nation, and I believe that what happened made him determined to serve his country from an early age.” Sparky’s dedication and passion for knowledge was taking him places. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in business from Indiana University in 1957, he was commissioned by the Air Force and immediately began pilot training, earning a fighter pilot assignment in 1958. In post-World War II America, the lessons learned during years of intense combat in the skies over Europe and the Pacific were being implemented into new aircraft designs. Air Force fighters needed to be faster, more agile and have greater range. Weapons needed to be smarter, more lethal and lighter to enable pilots to bring more to the fight. After completing his initial F-100 Super Sabre Combat Crew Training in 1959 at Nellis AFB, he spent his first four years as a fighter pilot with the 8th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. It was during these years that Sparky was introduced to the aircraft that would define his career - the F-105 Thunderchief. From Germany he was sent to McConnell AFB, Kan., where he spent another four years mastering the Thunderchief, commonly referred to as the “Thud” by pilots and aircrews. During this time, the Air Force was developing the “Wild Weasel” concept in response to the growing threat of Soviet-built S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile sites being built throughout North Vietnam. U.S. pilots in Vietnam had never seen SAMs before, and new tactics were necessary to mitigate already heavy losses. Determined to be the best pilot he could be, then Capt. Bill Sparks returned to Nellis AFB to attend the rigorous Fighter Weapons Instructor Course in his beloved “Thud”, where his relentless passion for excellence in his weapons system made an impression on his peers. “He was funny, he was bold, he was brash and he was smart,” said retired Air Force Lt. Col. Stephen Dvorchak, a fellow pilot and close friend who met Sparky in the FWIC. “He was an amazing fighter pilot, maybe the best I’ve ever seen.” Dvorchak, who remains at Nellis AFB working as an operations research analyst with the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron, calls Sparks “the smartest man I ever knew,” and worked alongside him through a number of notable testing programs that changed the way the Air Force fights the air war to this day. A testament to his knowledge and technical prowess,

Capt. Bill Sparks and his Electronic Warfare Officer Maj. Carlo Lombardo, 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron, pose with their F-105 Thunderchief during a deployment to Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base during the Vietnam War in support of Operation Rolling Thunder in 1967. Sparks and Lombardo carried out the “Wild Weasel” mission, attracting North Vietnamese surface-to-air missile sights and launching strikes against them.

Sparks graduated as Top Gun of his class at the FWIC in 1966. Pilots were evaluated on decision making abilities, accuracy and efficiency while practicing target acquisition and strafing maneuvers against simulated targets. His natural skill, unparalleled dedication and affinity for risk made him a perfect candidate for the Air Force’s new “Wild Weasel” concept. He was up for the challenge. As part of this new strategy, select F-105s would be outfitted with more advanced radar, jamming equipment and a heavier armament. “Wild Weasels” would fly into a target area preceding a main strike force to essentially “bait” enemy SAM sights into locking on and firing at them. The Weasel crew, consisting of a pilot and an Electronic Warfare Officer, would then identify the enemy SAM sight, record its location, make defensive maneuvers to avoid being hit by the missile and organize a strike against it, all while engaging any enemy fighters in the area; a risky job for the boldest of men. “That was the densest defensive environment that anybody had ever seen [anywhere in] the world,” Dvorchak said of the area around Hanoi, the capital of then North Vietnam. “Steel mills, bridges and rail yards, they were all protected.” Captain Sparks graduated “Wild Weasel” School in 1967 and was immediately deployed to the Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base near Bangkok, Thailand, with the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron in support of Operation Rolling Thunder. Aircraft from the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing were using Takhli as a “launching pad” for mounting massive strikes against often heavilydefended North Vietnamese industrial targets. Prior

to the arrival of the “Wild Weasels”, the U.S. saw heavy losses in the area which, by the end of the operation, amounted to 938 aircraft lost. During his eight months in Takhli, Sparks and his EWO, Maj. Carlo Lombardo, flew 82 combat sorties in and out of heavily contested areas surrounding Hanoi. “I flew 24 combat sorties in June of 1967, our first month there,” Sparks said in an article recounting his time in theatre. “Of the 24 sorties we flew, we led 18; we were very busy and very tired.” According to Dvorchak, the complexity and danger of the “Wild Weasel” mission required a high level of chemistry between a Thud pilot and his [EWO], and Sparky and Lombardo had built a reputation for being seamless communicators. “We did argue just a wee bit, but we, neither of us, ever really wanted to kill the other,” Sparks said, poking fun at his “back seater” Carlo Lombardo, an expert in radar systems and missile tracking. Before the “Wild Weasel” concept, EWOs were employed mainly on large bomber aircraft as a means to help the pilot avoid incoming radar signals and SAMs. Now, however, they were to be strapped in behind fighter pilots like Sparky, tasked with seeking out and striking the missile sites they once swore to evade. “I had been in the business for more than eight years, and I really didn’t know squat about the systems that were designed to kill me,” Sparks said, who studied tirelessly with Lombardo between sorties to gain a better understanding of all the electronic warning systems involved.

MWD helicopter training takes flight By Senior Airman A.K. 432nd Wing/432nd Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

NEVADA TEST AND TRAINING RANGE, Nev. — The 99th Ground Combat Training Squadron and 66th Rescue Squadron performed new military working dog helicopter operations training for the first time here June 13. This new training requires the handlers and their dogs to load onto a running helicopter, fly to an area where they will perform exercises and then take a return flight.

The training has benefits for both squadrons. “With this type of training, both sides get a realistic scenario,” said Staff Sgt. Wendy Montellese, 99th GCTS military working dog instructor. “The handlers and dogs practice on- and off-loading, get a feel of the aircraft movement both on the ground and in the air, the noise and vibrations, and are exposed to all of that together. On the other side of it, the pilots are familiarized with the operations of the handlers and MWD and can see what it is that we do.” U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. D.H.

Military working dogs and their handlers assigned to the 99th Ground Combat Training Squadron prepare to board an HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter from the 66th Rescue Squadron outside of Las Vegas June 14. The 99th GCTS is the Air Force’s largest regional training center and oversees the pre-deployment training for security forces personnel.

U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. D.H.

This type of training helps the teams learn something new, and the handlers and dogs will see how each other react to flying in a helicopter and improve performance down range. “If a handler and his dog will be going out to the smaller forward operating bases they will sometimes fly out on a helicopter, so this is good training for the dogs to get used to it now,” Tech. Sgt. Donald Ellison, 21st Security Forces Squadron kennel master. “Training in this desert environment is a way for them to get used to the heat and know what they are supposed to do. Down range it won’t be their first time so they will be more relaxed.” Learning these tasks together is important for both the military working dog and the handler.

“During flying missions, it is important to know how a handler or a dog is going to react,” she said. “This is an opportunity for both to find out what each other’s strengths and weaknesses are.” Performing live scenario exercises was one aspect of the training Ellison specifically highlighted. “It’s really nice to have the combat rescue team out here and letting us use their aircraft,” he said. “It’s a great experience to get on the aircraft, and then have [the rescue team] take us out to a location where we can simulate some of the things that we actually do.” The old training required the military working dog and its handler enter a stationary helicopter before the aircraft is turned on, and once the aircraft is in place, turned off and then back on.

An HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter from the 66th Rescue Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., carrying military working dogs and their handlers assigned to the 99th Ground Combat Training Squadron prepares to land at a ground combat training range at the NTTR June 14.

North Nellis Coalition cleans up local community By Airman 1st Class Timothy Young 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

N ELLIS A IR FORCE BASE , Nev. — The North Nellis Coalition is working towards making the area around the base safer for Airmen to shop and live. The North Nellis Coalition is a group made up of members from the 99th Security Forces Squadron , the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and dozens of businesses surrounding Nellis AFB. “Right now Airmen are driving 10 to 15 minutes away from base to live and shop because they don’t feel safe outside the gate,” said Brady Warren, 99th SFS criminal intelligence analyst. “The reason for that is because [the area] right outside of the gate has one of the highest crime rates in this whole city.” According to Maj. Richard Martin 99th SFS commander, the NNC hopes to alleviate those concerns. “The NNC is one way we can work to provide a better environment for our Airmen to shop and live off base,” Martin said. “We are part of the NNC

because we want to make things safe for everyone in our own neighborhood.” In the past, each business was responsible for cleaning up and attempting to police the criminal activity in their business’ surrounding area. The NNC plans to try to unify their efforts into a single consolidated push so people involved in illegal activity aren’t facing a single agency but the community as a whole. According to Warren, many of the officers and business owners in the NNC live in the communities they are trying to improve. “We want people to know that we don’t just show up when things are bad, we participate in community events as well,” said Luke Jancsek, a Metro all hazards multi-agency operations and response detective. “We are part of the community, and we live here too.” Warren said he is hopeful that with time the NNC will continue to grow the community will slowly becomes a better place to live and shop in. “It’s going to take time,” Warren said. “Not everything is going to be good by tomorrow.”

SFS opens substation, starts bike patrol By Staff Sgt. Gregory Brook 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — The 99th Security Forces Squadron will open a substation at the housing community center and start an area bike patrol of base housing here later this month. The substation, which officially opens June 25, is intended to enhance the relationship between security forces and the local community. Its placement in the community center will provide the residents of base housing with a stronger security forces presence and an easier means of interaction with 99th SFS members. In addition to the substation, security forces will begin conducting bike patrols of base housing later in June as well. According to Master Sgt. James Ashby, 99th SFS NCO in charge of operations, the patrols’ purpose is to conduct law enforcement and crime prevention services while providing a less threatening and more visible contact inside the community. “It’s a partnership,” said Senior Master Sgt. Paul Beuchat, 99th SFS operations superintendent. “We will provide the same services we always have. However, we will be out within their community. [The substation and bike patrols] will provide a convenient way for residents to voice complaints and concerns and keeps the SFS informed and allow us to see what we may not see on a daily basis because

we are not perceived as accessible. The substation and bike patrols will make us more accessible.” When driving in a patrol car, it is sometimes difficult to spot criminal activity unless it happens right in front of the patrol, he added. The substation and the bike patrol being in the community will allow residents to take advantage of the convenience of reporting incidents they might otherwise overlook. “It makes it easier if we incorporate the two programs because they complement each other,” Ashby said. “It’s a good idea. It gives our customer a better venue to be able to report issues.” According to Beuchat, the community is very excited to have SFS Airmen to be more engaged because they want the substation and bike patrol since it means SFS will be patrolling the housing area more. “I’m excited; I think it’s a wonderful idea,” said Mary Lobo, Nellis Family Housing community director. “You never know what to expect, but I think having [99th SFS Airmen] here will help increase security in the local area.” “Our goal is to be immersed in the community,” Beuchat said. A 99th Security Forces Squadron Airman will man the substation office seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. If residents have an issue they’d like to report, they can call 702-644-COPS (2677).

BEST, from page 3 _____________ Eventually, the dynamic pair hammered out their quirks and built a reputation of being the best Thud team in Takhli. “By late summer 1967, we were like a well-oiled machine and could communicate with little grunts and groans,” Sparks said. “I flew with a few other [EWOs] after Carlo went to Saigon, and we flat could not work the way Carlo and I did.” Sparky’s actions during those 82 combat sorties earned him seven Distinguished Flying Crosses, and an astounding three Silver Stars. On one occasion intentionally becoming the target of a North Vietnamese MiG aircraft so that it could be shot down by the famous triple-ace Brig. Gen. Robin Olds, 8th Tactical Fighter Wing commander. None of his awards, however, compare to the actions that earned him his third and final Silver Star. On Nov. 5, 1967, Sparky and the rest of his flight took off from Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base at 12:30 p.m. and headed towards Hanoi. It was Capt. Sparks’ 146th career combat mission, and his task of the day was to destroy the only remaining

hangar at a North Vietnamese air base. As the strike force converged on the target, three SAMs were launched and f lak filled the air. Sparky’s maneuvers evaded the missiles, but his Thud was hit by three 57 mm artillery rounds. On Nov. 5, three was enough. Despite losing all his instruments and flying in an aircraft burning from cockpit to tail, Capt. Sparks stayed with the aircraft and flew it more than 60 miles until it finally went out of control and he was forced to eject over hostile territory. Even with flames bearing down on his cockpit and slightly burning his legs, Sparks had the presence of mind to stay in the powerless aircraft just long enough to cross the Red River into an area that gave him hope of being rescued. Members of his squadron saw him go down and immediately radioed his position to a pararescue team while circling overhead and engaging enemy threats. “I’m going to make it; you don’t know how wonderful that feels to think. I am going to make it,” Sparks said, looking back on the day that defined his career. Around two hours later an HH-3 Jolly Green helicopter flown by U.S. Air Force Capt. Harry Walker

was lowering down a small basket on 135 feet of cable. “Four MiG-17s showed up, and Harry would not leave me,” Sparks said. “His dedication was beyond belief.” That would be his last combat sortie. “It was over for him after he got shot down; they made him go home,” said his son. “If he had been allowed, he would have stayed; he wanted to finish his 200 missions.” Although his warfighting days were done, Bill Sparks’ true contributions to the fighter pilot community were only just beginning. After the war, he immersed himself in the world of testing, tactics and training. He returned to Nellis AFB and became the chief of academics at the very same USAFWS he’d once graduated as top gun. He played an integral role in the complex testing exercises Air Combat Evaluation/Air Intercept Evaluation, organizing test plans, test control and scheduling, among other positions throughout the Air Force. Even after his retirement in 1977, Sparks continued his dedication to optimizing American air power. He continued his career at Veda Inc. and Lockheed Martin, lending his experience and endless knowledge to the development of various test and evaluation programs that would produce

unprecedented technologies and tactics. Perhaps one of his most valuable contributions to today’s fighter pilot community was the integral role he played in the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile Operational Utility Evaluation, which provided pilots with a beyond-visual-range missile with a “fire and forget” capability. U.S. pilots could now identify, acquire and launch a missile at an enemy target while avoiding detection, staying out of range, and increasing efficiency. The project also greatly improved pilots’ situational awareness, which in turn increased their survivability in the air conflicts to come. Sparks passed away May 10, in Henderson, Nev., leaving his family, friends and colleagues with a lifetime of memories, lessons and “bad jokes.” A memorial services was held at the 99th Air Base Wing Chapel June 14. After being pulled out of a bamboo forest with a broken elbow and kneecap, a dislocated shoulder and fractured feet, all Sparky wanted to do was spend the rest of his life with family and friends along with his wife Dell, who he called “the most beautiful woman in the world.” Mission accomplished.

9 Air Force sets plan to integrate women into combat jobs by 2016 BULLSEYE

By Staff Sgt. David Salanitri Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Air Force released details of the service’s plan to fully integrate women into previously closed career fields June 18. The implementation plan was recently submitted to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel for review. More than 99 percent of Air Force positions are currently already open to female Airmen. In fact, 2013 marks the twentieth anniversary of the Department of Defense allowing women to serve as combat pilots. The Air Force plans to open the remaining seven career fields - all tied to special operations - by Jan. 1, 2016. “The Air Force has been actively integrating women into nontraditional skills since 1972,” said Brig. Gen. Gina Grosso, the director of force management policy and deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services.

“Today, less than one percent of all positions - Active, Guard, and Reserve - are closed to women. This equates to approx i mately 4,70 0 posit ions

in a total force of 506,000 people.” The current Air Force specialty codes that do not allow females to enter due to the 1994 Direct Ground Combat

Definition and Assignment Rule include: combat rescue officer; special tactics officer; special operations weather officer; enlisted combat controller; enlisted tactical air command and control party; enlisted pararescue and enlisted special operations weather. According to the Air Force’s plan, the service will validate occupational fitness standards for every career field. Once the standards are validated for the seven skills currently closed to women, the Air Force will notify Congress of its intent to open these skills to women and begin recruiting into these skills. Grosso expects recruiting will begin Oct. 2015. This implementation plan came as a result of former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta rescinding the 1994 Direct Ground Combat exclusion rule for women in January 2013. This rule restricted women from assignments in special operations and long range reconnaissance units.

Air Force News 12 Joint strike fighter on track, costs coming down, Kendall says BULLSEYE

June 21, 2013

By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Indications are that the F-35 joint strike fighter program - the most expensive aviation program in Defense Department history - is on track, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics told a Senate panel June 19. Testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee’s defense subcommittee this morning, Frank Kendall said the F-35A Lightning II will be the premier strike aircraft for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. “The department’s and my focus has been on the efforts to control costs on the program, and to achieve a more stable design so that we could increase the production rate to more economical quantities,” Kendall U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Brett Clashman told the senators. “Indications at this time are that these A U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II assigned to the 422nd Test efforts are succeeding.” The program, begun in President George W. Bush’s and Evaluation Squadron taxis down the runway before a administration, is about 90 percent through the devel- training mission April 4, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. opment program and 40 percent through flight testing. Kendall said he anticipates being able to complete 2011 amid uncertainty in how design issues would the development effort within the planned cost and be solved, the undersecretary said. “The F-35 is one of the most concurrent programs I schedule. “However, we may need to make some adjustments have ever seen, meaning that there is a high degree of as events unfold,” he added. “On the whole, however, overlap between the development phase and the producthe F-35 design today is much more stable than it was tion phase of the program,” he said. Kendall said he believes those questions have been two or three years ago.” Production of the aircraft was in real jeopardy in answered, and he told the committee he will review the

program later this year to decide whether to increase the production rate significantly in 2015, as is currently planned. “At this point, I am cautiously optimistic that we will be able to do so,” he said. Costs per aircraft are coming down, Kendall said. “Since 2010, production costs have been stable and are coming down, roughly consistent with our estimates,” he said. “We have been tightening the terms of production contracts.” The aircraft builder, Lockheed Martin, is required to share costs associated with design changes due to concurrency, and the Defense Department is negotiating the next two buys. “In these lots, and all future lots, Lockheed will bear all of the risks of overruns,” Kendall said. “At this point we have a solid understanding of the production costs, and believe that they are under control.” The undersecretary said he believes sustainment costs represent the greatest opportunity to reduce life cycle costs of the F-35 going forward. “We are now focused on ways to introduce competition, and to take creative steps to lower those costs as well,” he said. “The bottom line is that since 2010, we have been making steady progress to complete development, stabilize the design, and control costs.” Much remains to be done with the program, and surprises may still happen, Kendall acknowledged, but he added that he is “cautiously optimistic that we will be able to increase production to more economical rates beginning in 2015 as planned.”

AF updates CJR constrained list, remaining FY13 quotas By Debbie Gildea Air Force Personnel Center

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-R ANDOLPH, Texas — Air Force officials have updated the career job reservation constrained list and released remaining fiscal year 2013 quotas for career fields on the list, as well. The career job reservation program enables the Air Force to manage the number of first-term Airmen who reenlist in career fields where projected manning levels exceed Air Force needs, said Mike McLaughlin, AFPC reenlistments chief. Six enlisted career fields have been removed from the constrained list, while quotas dropped for 16 others and two remain unchanged. “All first term Airmen must have a career job reservation to reenlist,” McLaughlin said. “Removing an AFSC from the constrained list is good news for Airmen on the waiting list.” Removed from CJR constrained list: 1N2X1C, Signals Intelligence Analyst-Comm 2G0X1, Logistics Plans 2R0X1, Maintenance Management Analysis 3D0X1, Knowledge Operations Management 3D1X1, Client Systems 4J0X2, Physical Medicine

Airmen who are on the CJR waiting list when those fields come off the constrained list will receive their CJR. Of the 18 fields still on the constrained list, two remain unchanged and quotas will decrease for each of the other 16. CJR quota decrease list: 2S0X1, Material Management 2T1X1, Vehicle Operations 2T3X2C, Special Vehicle Maintenance-Material Handling Equipment 2T3X7, Vehicle Management and Analysis 3D1X3, RF Transmission Systems 3D1X5, Ground Radar Systems 3D1X6, Airfield Systems 3E0X1, Electrical Systems 3E0X2, Electrical Power Production 3E1X1, Heating Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration 3M0X1, Services 3P0X1, Security Forces 4D0X1, Diet Therapy 4R0X1, Diagnostic Imaging 4Y0X1, Dental Assistant 6F0X1, Financial Management and Comptroller CJR quota unchanged list: 2P0X1, Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory 4A1X1, Medical Materiel

Dental squadron seeks qualified patients By Col. (Dr.) John Safar 99th Dental Squadron

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — The 99th Dental Squadron and the Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program here are seeking patients not normally seen at active-duty dental clinics for a year-long residency program. The residency program is for new dentists out of school who are undergoing advanced training on se-

lected applicants who have dental problems a military dentist wouldn’t normally take care of. Applicants must be either retired military, military retiree family members or active-duty family members with a combination of at least three of the following dental conditions; root canals, crowns, fillings, gum disease, or need complete dentures. Patients will be selected by the AEGD directors for the residency program based on eligibility. If selected, the patient must be available at least

weekly throughout the residency year which runs August 2013 through July 2014. Patient screening appointments will be held until July 12. Selectees for the program will be called in August to set up their first appointment; the selectees will be a part of advanced training for the resident dentists. Non-selectees will not be contacted. If interested, call Tech. Sgt. Nicole McKinstry at (702) 653-2623 or email nicole.mckinstry@nellis.af.mil.

Q. I was seeing a civilian provider and I was told I have to come back to our hospital. Why do I have to come back? What are my options? A. If medical care can be administered at Mike O’Callaghan Federal Medical Center, then you must come here for your care if you are active duty or are enrolled in Tricare Prime. You have two options available to you. Option 1: Disenroll from Tricare Prime and utilize Tricare Standard. Option 2: Utilize Point of Service - which entails a $300 deductible and 50 percent of the balance - which does not go towards your catastrophic cap. Notes: * Highly recommended that you discuss your options with a Health Benefits Adviser. * Another reason you would have to come back to the Military Treatment Facility would be if you have been referred to a civilian specialist and you want to continue your care with them. Your Primary Care Manager would have to write a new referral if the original one is expired. This keeps your PCM informed and able to help manage your care.
