Hicks came to the squadron from a background in ground radio under a special volunteer only project. The program, and his mission assignment, were adjusted and integrated into the 16th SPCS from operations.

The squadron defends access to the space domain by identifying, characterizing, and geolocating specific signals broadcast from various sources. The 16th SPCS externally monitors broadcasted signals, but does not listen in to what is transmitted.

Senior Airman Tyler Odenweller, 380th SPCS operator, brings transferrable skills as well. He worked in ground-side radio during his six years in the U.S. Marine Corps. The 380th SPCS is the reserve unit of the 16th SPCS. His background in electronics matched up well with the assignment as a space operator. With his squadron being a reserve unit, Odenweller was able to choose his job. He decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, who was also a space systems operator in the Air Force.

Fitness is a family affair: Siblings head to competition

By Robb Lingley 21st SW Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – The Air Force’s first-ever Alpha Warrior Final Battle will be held at Retama Park in San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 11, 2017. The top male and female winners from 15-regional competitions, as well as the top 10 male and female competitors with the best runs from across the Air Force will compete for the title of Air Force Alpha Warrior.

Capt. Cale Simmons, Space and Missile Center contract manager, and his sister Capt. Rachel Schaefer, SMC program manager, are two members from Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, who will compete in this event. Capt. Jeff Schaefer, U.S. Air Force Academy civil engineering instructor, Rachel’s husband, will also join them in Texas representing USAFA. According to the Alpha Warrior website the extreme obstacle course features 21 challenging obstacles not measured in miles or distance, but instead focuses on completing each obstacle at hand by testing strength and core fitness by pushing the body and mind to its physical and mental limit. The objective is to complete each obstacle on the course and finish with a 100% completion rate to become a proven Alpha Warrior.

Simmons was really excited when he found out he and his sister were both going because they had been practicing together for a couple weeks and were anxious to see how they would fair in the regional competition. He said everything went perfect in the competition and that Peterson AFB had put on a good show.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Capt. Rachel Schaefer, Space and Missile Center program manager and her brother Capt. Cale Simmons, SMC contract manager will represent Peterson Air Force Base at the upcoming Alpha Warrior Final Battle at Retama Park in San Antonio, Texas, Nov.11, 2017. The Alpha Warrior extreme obstacle course features 21 challenging obstacles that Airmen must complete to become a proven Alpha Warrior.

“Rachel’s husband, Jeff Schaefer, placed 2nd in the event and he will join us for the final,” Simmons said. “All three of us live pretty active lifestyles and go rock climbing often, which is pretty similar to Alpha Warrior.”

To train for Alpha Warrior Rachel Schaefer went rock climbing more frequently, joined a bouldering league, and went to a park with her husband to practice walking and balancing on a playground. They also did work on a slide structure.

“We just did a lot of stuff that resembled the movements we saw on the video of the course,” said Rachel Schaefer.

“I’m excited to spend time with my brother and husband competing at Alpha Warrior,” Rachel Schaefer added. “It should really be fun.”

Simmons competed in the pole vault at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016. He placed second in the U.S. Olympic Trials and 28th in the Olympics.

“I was happy to represent the U.S. and the Air Force on the world stage,” said Simmons.

“In my perspective as an Olympian this is a great way to have fun while still getting in a workout,” said Simmons.

“This type of activity is something I seem to be pretty good at and my skills in pole vault transfer well with the agility, strength, coordination, and endurance in the event.”

Simmons also added that he looks forward to the more difficult obstacle course he’ll face in San Antonio.

Alpha Warrior designs state-of-the-art obstacle race equipment called battle rigs and stations. These multi-station devices enhance functional fitness training for individuals and teams. Battle rigs train Airmen’s muscles to work together while making strategic choices. These challenge stations compare to the popular television competition show America Ninja Warrior.

The opening ceremony for Alpha Warrior is at 8:30 a.m. and the Air Force Final Battle begins at 9:00 am. The Air Force awards ceremony is scheduled for 11:00 a.m.

COMMANDER’S CORNER

Commentary: Rebalance with mindfulness

By Beverly Price Coordinator, 21st Space Wing Community Support

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.—Every day we face various life stressors — from work and challenging commutes, to family and home responsibilities. At times, just one small change to our schedule can leave us feeling overwhelmed. As such, being more mindful and fully present in our lives can help us regain a better sense of balance.

Start by making a clean break: Your body and mind need a break from the day’s effort, so try to mentally remove yourself from work before you get home. When you get home, you might go outside and take a deep breath, put on your favorite music, or change out of your work clothes. Be fully present with loved ones by setting your smart devices out of sight, especially if you know you tend to look at work-related

email when you are home.

Pursue balance daily: Accept that some days will be work-heavy or hectic and plan ahead for some “me time” to help keep you in balance. For example, taking a midday time-out with some stretching to ease your mind or going for a 15-minute walk to restore a sense of control. At home, put the day to rest, literally, and go to bed 15 minutes early, when possible.

Focus on the present: Stay grounded by stopping to truly experience whatever is going on at the present moment.

Value everyday living by taking notice of simple pleasures such as the physical sensations of the way the sun feels on your skin or the taste and texture of what you are eating. If you find yourself in the middle of chaos, stop for a moment to identify what you are feeling, and ask yourself if you can take a break, even for five minutes.

Develop a positive mindset: Find ways to cultivate a positive attitude.

For example, focus on what others do

Col Todd Moore 21st Space Wing Commander

right instead of wrong, extend small courtesies to others and see what you get back, and remember the big picture when you are stuck in a challenging situation. Learning what makes you happy may be trial and error. Take some time to prioritize what you value and create a plan to gradually change some things in order to enjoy life more.

Talk to someone: Oftentimes, a trusted friend, family member, or someone in your community can listen and offer support when you are struggling.

Sometimes, however, you might need someone from the outside, someone objective to help. If you or any of your family members are having trouble with priorities, balance, or feeling overwhelmed, contact your Peterson Air Force Base Helping Agencies at (719) 552-HELP or your unit Resilience Trainer.

Civilian employees and their families can also contact their Employee Assistance Program by calling 1 (800) 222-0364 or visit www.FOH4You.com.

AOPA Pilot of the Year

By Dave Smith

Staff writer, 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— There are about 95,000 certified flight instructors in the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and Zoan Harclerode, flight instructor at the Rocky Mountain Flight Training Center on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, is the best of them all.

Harclerode was crowned AOPA’s best flight instructor following its 2017 Flight Training Experience Survey. The survey focuses on four elements: educational quality, customer focus, community, and information sharing.

AOPA found excelling in these factors provides an optimal flight experience.

“I looked to see who the regional winners were,” Harclerode said. “They were from big schools in bigger cities. I never thought it would be me. Then I thought, ‘why not me?’”

She was one of five regional winners – she won the Western Region – and from that elite group was selected as the best of them all. She came out on top of 2,012 other nominated trainers from within the organization.

“Zoan has passion and really loves what she is doing,” said Chris Moser, AOPA director, flight training initiative. “She works with a lot of military veterans and takes the time needed to help them learn. Basically, whatever is needed, she’ll do.”

Moser said the organization looks for the pilots who rise to the top in the surveys, then forward those names to a committee. The surveys are graded according to who the committee members think is the best based on the feedback.

When her surveys were reviewed, Moser said the committee noted strong positive student feedback related to Harclerode’s ability as an instructor.

She passed the credit on to her students.

“I could not have better students,” Harclerode said. “They got me these awards.”

Winning accolades demonstrates the school has instructors and pilots who are dedicated to doing things the right way, said Harclerode. The instructors at the Rocky Mountain Flight Training Center have the extra burden of having Air Force rules to follow, in addition to typical regulations placed upon flight schools. She doesn’t see the extra scrutiny as a disadvantage, however.

“We should be an example to other schools,” she said.

For instance, Harclerode said data shows that instructors who attend regular safety meetings have better safety records. The industry recommends these meetings, which she said are required for the Air Force affiliated schools.

“We have great safety records,” said Harclerode. “We have monthly meetings, which is an example of what the industry says and we have the records and procedures to back it up.”

She has been flying for three decades. Her love of aviation began when a boy she dated in high school took her for a plane ride.

“That’s pretty much when I got the bug,” Harclerode said.

Ten years later, after college and getting married, she obtained her private pilot’s license. After a period of time working in the hotel industry, she took a leave of absence and a few months later became a certified instructor.

Being an instructor allows her to witness people achieve their dreams. Providing them with the tools to do so is something she rather enjoys.

“A lot of things we do as instructors is like parenting,” Harclerode explained. “We teach

Harclerode was named the winner of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association National, and Western Region, flight instructor of the year based upon the 2017 Flight Training Experience Survey. students how to make the right choices and we are proud of them when they do.”

She has 7,000 hours flying and has flown many different aircraft including Great Lakes and Stearman biplanes, Citation jets and an F-16 Falcon flight simulator. Harclerode is rated to pilot helicopters as well. Out of all of

the craft she has the pleasure of piloting, her favorite is whichever one she’s is sitting in.

“I learn something new every day,” she said. “I feel blessed that I get to go up and be in three dimensions every day. I get to do what not many people can do, and do it every day.”

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.

— Upgraded Early Warning Radars now provide data on man-made space-based objects without delay, thanks to efforts of Air Force Life Cycle Management Center personnel at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

Five massive radar sites arrayed throughout the northern hemisphere, mostly designed and installed during the Cold War, provide missile warning information and track space-based objects for the U.S. and joint partners. The new data source impacts the orbital tracking mission.

“Our radars track and identify a lot of spacebased objects. But, in this case, important information wasn’t getting to the people who needed it to make timely decisions,” said Col. Todd Wiest, senior materiel leader, AFLCMC Strategic Warning and Surveillance Systems division, referring to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex Combatant Commanders’ Integrated Command and Control Systems.

UEWR primary missions include missile

warning and missile defense, where radars spot missile launches, track them and send data to the Ballistic Missile Defense System. These primary missions enable ground-based interceptors to launch and eliminate incoming threats.

The secondary mission is space surveillance, which includes tracking orbiting manmade objects in increasingly crowded skies.

“We first realized there was a problem with space-based object tracking in January of 2015,” said John McConnell, a contractor who works in the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment branch. “At that time, [Air Force] Space Command ordered the BMEWS system to provide this data on orbiting objects, and we started trying to do that immediately.

Pretty soon after that we realized, ‘uh-oh, this data isn’t going through.’ We then tried to figure out the fastest way to complete a fix. ” Over the next few months, McConnell and ITW/AA Deputy Program Manager Erica Ochoa worked with experts to analyze the problem and come up with solutions.

According to Ochoa, experts estimated that a radar-based software and equipment fix for each site would take 24 months or more to

complete.

Ochoa’s branch began implementing a single fix for signal-receiving hardware at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in late 2016, rather than sending teams to each of the five radar sites to fix the broadcasting hardware. By August 2017, the team had completed upgrades to Cheyenne Mountain, and the space object information data was flowing between radar sites and combatant commanders.

This solution, implemented in about eight months, or about one-third of the estimated time for site-specific fixes, allows time and space for radar program managers to negotiate a less- rushed, fully-design-compliant solution for the radar site, whose equipment and software includes proprietary material requiring contract action to alter.

“Owning the baseline is an important factor for us,” said Ochoa, referring to the technology inherent in the control system. “With this fix, the team demonstrated that we can maintain baseline ownership and yet have the latitude to accomplish small software changes, like this one, that allow one system to communicate with another.”

Approximately 200 Reserve Citizen Airmen and U.S. Army Soldiers conducted the exercise to test their readiness and emergency response in a deployed location.

By Staff Sgt. Justin Norton 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

FORT CARSON, Colo. — Smoke billowed out of the doorway of the building in an austere location. The screams and shouts from the wounded filled the air. Airmen rushed to the scene with litters in tow, scouring the building for wounded. They strapped the injured to a litter one by one, then transported them to safety before returning to the smoke-filled building in search for others.

For approximately 200 Reserve Citizen Airmen assigned

to the 302nd Airlift Wing, this was the scene at Fort Carson’s Camp Red Devil in Colorado during a mass casualty and joint aeromedical evacuation exercise Oct. 14.

According to Lt. Col. Alan Flolo, 302nd AW director of inspections, the Air Force Reserve Command implemented exercise was conducted to evaluate the wing’s medical emergency response skills in a deployed environment.

The exercise, which involved the wing’s tactical airlift operation, maintenance aircraft generation, aeromedical evacuation operation and critical care, simulated an attack on Airmen in a simulated deployed location to test emergency

medical response as well as the triage and transportation including the airlift of wounded personnel.

Once stabilized, the wounded were transported to a 302nd AW C-130 Hercules aircraft for aeromedical evacuation. The C-130 performed an assault landing on a nearby dirt strip as part of operational training when it arrived. An Aeromedical Evacuation Operations Team assigned to the wing’s 34th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron was on board the C-130, ready to receive the simulated wounded while the aircraft engines remained running to allow an immediate departure.

The 302nd Aeromedical Staging Squadron Reserve Citizen Airmen, in teams of four, transferred the most critically wounded to the rear of the C-130 to await transfer. The rest of the wounded were transported to an Army medical evacuation vehicle via litter-carry.

“The Airmen were exposed to the different loading scenarios and the various ways that the Army handles medical evacuation procedures, said Tech. Sgt. Katharina D’Amato, NCO in charge of the En Route Patient Staging System assigned to the 302nd Aeromedical Staging Squadron.

The Colorado Army National Guard supported the exercise with two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters allowing 302nd AW Airmen to get first-hand experience on aeromedical evacuation procedures for critically wounded.

“It’s important to get hands-on training,” said Staff Sgt. Barbara Yale, a medical technician with the 302nd ASTS. “Many Airmen have never experienced a joint training environment and this has been a valuable experience.”

“This could very easily be a real-world scenario,” said Capt. Leslie Shook, a 302nd ASTS critical care nurse and coordinator of the Unit Training Assembly exercise at Fort Carson. Shook helped coordinate the joint participation at Fort Carson and with the Colorado Army National Guard helicopters supporting the exercise.

In his post exercise evaluation, Flolo said, “The joint operation provided a great experience for the wing and, there is opportunity to do more as Fort Carson’s training area is a larger capacity resource in a local area. And, from a supporting role, there was a benefit. Locally on Peterson we exercised our CAT (Crisis Action Team) convening and contacted and tested UCCs (Unit Control Centers) ability to stand up. I think the exercise helped develop the mindset for the wing to come together in a deployed, combat situation and also uncovered areas of improvement. The whole idea is to exercise our skills and find deficiencies on processes that can be improved to make us better.”

AFSPC brings the heat

By Airman 1st Class Jake Deatherage 460th Space Wing Public Affairs

BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — During a recent visit to the Denver-Metro area, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson utilized the Buckley Air Force Base flightline for the security and safety of Air Force Two. This visit allowed Team Buckley to demonstrate their ability to solve a problem through total force coordination.

Due to a forecasted storm and an unforeseen maintenance issue, the Buckley AFB airfield was unexpectedly without an operational deicer truck with the Vice President’s arrival less than 20 hours away.

The problem was identified after duty hours, and options were few. Renting a unit from nearby airports was expensive and uncertain; the cost to rent a unit would be an estimated $30,000. If the expected storm arrived, major airports would need to retain the deicing capability for their operations.

Smaller airports didn’t have equipment large enough to service Air Force Two. That left the 460th Space Wing with the option to ask for support from Peterson AFB, 70 miles to the south. The 460th Mission Support Group deputy commander, Lt. Col. Meghan Szwarc, engaged her counterpart, Mr. Craig Biondo, in the 21st Space Wing to determine whether they could support this emergent need. In spite of the late hour, after a round of phone calls to determine availability and assess risk, by 9:00 p.m. a plan was developed and ready for execution.

The 21st Logistics Readiness Squadron on Peterson AFB agreed to lend one of their deicer trucks, agreeing to departure the following day. Originally, the deicer was supposed to be transported on a trailer, but it didn’t fit safely for transport so it had to be driven at a very slow speed. Air Mobility Command, responsible for Presidential and Vice Presidential transport, was tracking this event to ensure the safety and security of Air Force Two. The 21 LRS, the 460 LRS and the 460 MSG carefully coordinated the expeditious journey of the deicer by sending an experienced driver from Buckley along with a 140th Wing Air National Guard mechanic and Mobile Maintenance Unit to Colorado Springs in order to have them drive the truck safely back to Aurora. After a four-hour drive, the unit arrived on Buckley AFB prior to the Vice President’s arrival.

“Ultimately this was about safety, and through our collaborative efforts we managed to get the people and equipment there and back without any accidents,” said Lt. Col. Joshua Schaad, 21 LRS commander.

This event shows how effective communication and coordination between bases, MAJCOMs, and Active and Air Guard components can make accomplishing the mission possible. It underscores the collaborative nature of our Air Force mission, and demonstrates the unhesitating willingness of AFSPC units to lend crucial support when another base calls.

"The success of this effort sawas in large part due to our ongoing partnership with the 21st Space Wing which resulted in another exceptional team effort to make the mission happen,” stated Lt. Col. Danielle Kirk, 460 LRS commander. “The 21 LRS vehicle management team was instrumental in preparing the deicer for movement and the 140 LRS vehicle management team members provided essential mobile maintenance support which ensured the 460 LRS was able to help provide this short-notice flightline capability; it was truly a team effort.”

A breast cancer diagnosis does not necessarily spell out the end of an Air Force career. Early detection, along with focused treatment options and support, has increased recovery success. There is hope after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Continuing an Air Force career — hope after a breast cancer diagnosis

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — The pink ribbon that symbolizes National Breast Cancer Awareness might be seen as a somber image, but it also represents hope and the many survivors. As awareness, support, and research funding have increased, more and more women are surviving breast cancer and returning to their careers.

“Once the shock of a breast cancer diagnosis subsides, many patients are happy to learn that it is not always a career-ending diagnosis,” said Maj. Daniel Choi, a surgical oncologist based at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. “In the Air Force, many breast cancer survivors return to active duty and go on to complete their careers on their own terms.”

A strong focus on breast cancer research in recent decades has led to a better understanding of breast cancer, improved, focused care and more positive outcomes. As researchers and physicians continue to learn more about breast cancer, it is vital that all women are aware of their risk and how they can best lead a normal, active life after treatment Breast cancer affects about 1 out of 8, or 12 percent of American women.

Of that 12 percent, 1 out of 4 will die of breast cancer.

While the exact causes of breast cancer are unknown, there are risks that could increase a woman’s chances of the disease.

The risk increases in older women, and,

in some studies, is higher among those who have poor diets and do not exercise.

The risk also increases if women have been exposed to radiation when they were younger, even as children, being treated for other cancers.

Family history can also increase someone’s chance of breast cancer, especially when a close blood relative like a mother or sister has been diagnosed.

“Just because a woman does not have a family history of breast cancer, does not mean she will never get it,” warns Choi.

“I hear patients say, ‘Breast cancer doesn’t run in my family-- I can’t believe I have it.’ But about 80 to 85 percent of breast cancer cases occur in women with no significant family history.”

Another misconception about breast cancer risk centers on one of the breast cancer genes, the BRCA gene. While medical and social advancements have made it easier for women to get tested for the gene, not all women with breast cancer necessarily have BRCA mutations and not all women with BRCA mutations develop breast cancer.

“Only about 10 percent of all breast cancer cases — or even fewer — is related to the BRCA gene,” said Choi.

These days, most women diagnosed with breast cancer do not show symptoms of the disease.

“This is good news because that means that most breast cancer is being detected

much earlier,” said Choi. “We attribute this to increased screening, which catches abnormalities before signs and symptoms emerge.”

In addition, research has also allowed for improved, and more focused treatment options.

“We now know a lot more about the natural biology of breast cancer than we do many other types of cancer,” said Choi. “This means that women have better treatment options.”

Treatment usually starts with a biopsy to confirm that the patient has breast cancer. Then, depending on how extensive the cancer is, surgery to remove the cancer is often the next step. Sometimes patients might require chemotherapy and possibly some radiation. If necessary, endocrine therapy via a pill is recommended.

“I tell my patients that treatment is a long-term project,” said Choi. “For most women treatment is really intensive for at least the first year. After time, it becomes less burdensome and more tolerable.”

Due to early detection and targeted treatment options, women are getting a better prognosis. As researchers learn more about different types of breast cancer that exist, patients are able to receive a better outcome and can lead active lives after treatment.

This improved prognosis also means that women in the Air Force can remain on active duty even after treatment. While

breast cancer can be varied for different women, most breast cancer is treatable.

Choi often recommends that breast cancer survivors return to their normal routine as soon as possible. For example, some research shows that women who go back to their exercise routine after breast cancer surgery actually recover better.

While breast cancer does not necessarily signal the end of one’s Air Force career, it can still take a big emotional and physical toll on the patient. Fortunately, the Air Force is equipped with a substantial support network to help those affected by breast cancer.

“My active duty patients have found their leadership to be very supportive,” said Choi. “They have not felt isolated or vulnerable because of their breast cancer.”

Several of the larger military treatment facilities have services available for various treatment options as well as survivorship counsel. Additionally, many Air Force military treatment facilities partner with the American Cancer Society to provide additional support and care.

The key factor in improved breast cancer survivorship is screening. According to many experts, the recommended age that most women should get checked is by age 40.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Good habits provide a foundation for positive improvements in your life.

However, forming new habits can be challenging.

They take time and practice to form.

“A habit is something we do that becomes automatic because we did it many times under the same circumstances,” said Tiffany Milligan, a health psychologist at the Psychological Health Center of Excellence.

We practice good habits every day because of repeated, consistent action with specific context.

Context is anything that helps you remember the change you want to make and increases the odds you will do it repeatedly. Once behavior is automatic, it becomes easier to maintain.

For example, when you get into a car you probably reach for a seat belt without realizing it. You most likely buckle up because of repetitive guidance and behavior. Since you may perform this action under the same conditions (while seated in a car before you start driving) many times a day, you eventually buckle your seat belt without actively thinking about it.

USE THESE TIPS TO BETTER CREATE AND MAINTAIN THE HABITS YOU WANT TO KEEP: • TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT – Keep reminders of your new habit somewhere you will see every day, ideally a place where it will be relatively easy for you to accomplish that behavior.

• KEEP IT CONSISTENT – If possible, make sure your habit occurs under conditions that will happen on a regular basis. This will help reinforce your new habit.

• AVOID REGULAR REWARDS – You may feel tempted to promise yourself a treat for following through with a new behavior. However, rewards can be counter-productive to the habit-forming process and undermine your internal motivation.

• BE PATIENT – Better habits won’t form overnight, or even in a week. Give yourself at least two or three months to make the new behavior automatic.

• BE FLEXIBLE – You may find that you don’t succeed the first time you try to develop a new habit.

Rather than blaming yourself for a lack of willpower, consider changing your approach to better accommodate the intended habit. Try moving the activity to a different part of the day or re-arranging where you keep the tools or reminders necessary for that activity. Most importantly, don’t give up!

The Military Health System has more resources on healthy living habits and preventive health. Check them out today for tips on affecting positive change in your life.
