Peterson defenders host first-ever Suicide Prevention Summit
By Staff Sgt. Emily Kenney 21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — “How many more [suicides] is it going to take before something other than quarterly resilience training and getting handed a suicide hotline magnet in FTAC [First Term Airman Center] comes down from the top?” That was the question Staff Sgt. Danny Wittman, 21st Security Forces Squadron unit deployment manager said he had on his heart following the discovery that another defender had taken his own life--the eighth of 2019. “I was annoyed and fed up,” said Wittman. Since that heart-breaking day, June 17, 2019, Wittman’s words have become action. The next morning, Wittman showed up to his squadron and began working to help change how suicide prevention is tackled in the Air Force. “I didn’t want to just be that kid who goes on rants on Facebook,” said Wittman. “I reached out to [Staff Sgt. Ryan] Chilcote [another security forces member and the FTAC noncommissioned officer in charge], because he’s someone I trust on Peterson, and I reached out to Ms. [Michel] Cremeans [violence prevention integrator for Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado] and Ms. [Jessica] Schroeder [Community Support Coordinator for Peterson AFB] because they’re the subject matter experts in the area--from there we decided to create a working group to get the ball rolling.” On June 27, 2019, Wittman and Chilcote held the first Suicide Prevention Summit on Peterson AFB. The group consisted of military and civilian personnel of all different ranks and backgrounds, from Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, Buckley AFB and Fort Carson. During the nearly four-hour discussion, individuals brought forward new ideas and possible solutions to aid in suicide prevention. “The intention of this working group was to provide a place where individuals could have a voice and provide feedback and possible solutions to this heartbreaking problem,” said Cremeans. “This was a chance for those participating to truly be a part of the solution and to, at the very least, start a cultural shift here on Peterson.” Chilcote and Wittman said one of the most beneficial aspects of the Suicide Prevention Summit was bringing in the Army’s perspective. “The Army, and Fort Carson specifically, do amazing things when it comes to suicide prevention,” said Chilcote. “They weren’t shy at all when it came to speaking up. They have different programs that they do throughout Fort Carson that can help us, including Applied Suicide Intervention Skills training that they said they can offer to our defenders.” Chilcote said the group offered many ideas for squadron-level solutions, to include more military and family life counselors embedded within units and mandatory mental health appointments. They also discussed the barriers associated with seeking mental health care. “There’s a stigma attached to mental health in our career field,” said Chilcote. “The second you say you’re having a mental health problem your guns are gone and you feel

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Staff Sgt. Cameron Chilcote, 21st Security Forces Squadron defender and First Term Airman Center noncommissioned officer in charge, speaks to group members at the Suicide Prevention Summit, June 27, 2019 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. During the summit, military members and civilians of different ranks and backgrounds discussed new ideas and tools to aid in suicide prevention. useless. We want to get rid of that stigma that seeking help makes you any less of an Airman. We also talked about bringing in more MFLCs and having mandatory in-person mental health appointments every year for security forces.” Wittman echoed that message. “Mental health appointments should be like any other mandatory medical appointment,” said Wittman. “Every year we have to get a physical or see dental, but why neglect our mental health?” Wittman and Chilcote said they want to have additional Suicide Prevention Summits that will include Airmen from different Air Force specialty codes. “The future groups will include some other career fields as well,” said Wittman. “This last summit was more security forces-centered, but I think the next will be broader and we can address why this is an issue Air Force-wide.” When talking about an issue as sensitive as suicide, all participants agreed: having the conversation is an important first step.
“We want to let people know that it’s OK to have mental health issues and that these issues are normal,” said Wittman. “Seeking out mental health doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means something is wrong and you need to get it fixed. We won’t see change until people are more comfortable and open with their mental health.” This team of “doers” have caught the eye of the most senior enlisted Airman in the Air Force, and his staff. “This is exactly the type of feedback we are looking for from our Airmen,” said Wright. “Leaders shouldn’t shy away from addressing suicide even though it can be hard to talk about. Discussions like the one Danny started can help us get to the heart of the problem, and find the solutions that our teammates deserve.” The work being done at the 21st SW has support of the major command. According to the command’s senior enlisted

Creating high performance through job satisfaction
By 1st Lt. Kris Lee | 321ST MISSILE SQUADRON
F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. (AFNS) — Do you like your job? Do your Airmen like their jobs? If you answered no, why? How you answer those questions can say a lot about your organization. Believe it or not, you can create a better workplace for your Airmen. At the bare basics, think about what people need and want from a job. Abraham Maslow’s book, “A Theory of Human Motivation,” tells us that each person has a hierarchy of needs: physiological, security, belongingness, esteem and ultimately self-actualization needs. Money is a prime motivator to work, but job satisfaction requires much more. It requires a job that creates belongingness, esteem and self-actualization. It requires opportunities for growth, advancement and achievement. This is where you, the leader, come into play. A primary goal of leadership is to influence the performance of followers to accomplish a goal. That’s easy to say, but putting it into practice can be convoluted and confusing. Performance is the product of ability and effort. If the ability is low, it is unlikely any amount of effort will result in high performance. Likewise, if the effort is low, high performance is doubtful. If your team’s performance is low, you must ask which area is lacking: ability or effort. We assume your people are properly trained such that the question becomes, “How do I influence my people to put in more effort?” Everyone has personal goals and every organization has
goals for mission success. To influence people to put in more effort, one approach is to align people’s personal goals with the goals of the organization. If your organizational goal is to complete paperwork with zero errors, and you have an Airman whose goal is to be off an hour early next Friday, you can align the personal goal with the organizational goal. This is one way to achieve external motivation, but our focus is on creating internal motivation – creating high performance through job satisfaction. American psychologist Frederick Herzberg found that job dissatisfaction and job satisfaction are not related. The factors that lead to dissatisfaction are not the same as those that lead to satisfaction. Hygiene factors leading to job dissatisfaction are: policy and administration, supervision, relationship with supervisor, work conditions, salary, relationship with peers, personal life, relationship with subordinates, status and security. Motivator factors leading to job satisfaction are: achievement, recognition, the work itself, responsibility, advancement and growth. While these lists certainly aren’t all-inclusive, it points out a very important concept, keeping “hygiene factors” in check is important to keep people from becoming dissatisfied, but you will not create satisfaction and motivation by focusing all of your attention there. People find true job satisfaction when their need for self-actualization is fulfilled – when you provide them with opportunities that lead to achievement, recognition, increased responsibility, advancement and growth.
...each person has a hierarchy of needs: physiological, security, belongingness, esteem and ultimately self-actualization needs.
Creating genuine opportunities takes intentional planning. In my career field, missile operations, I found that a good place to start is by changing the way authority is delegated. Some of my crew commanders have taken care of the “commander roles” such as delivering the mission planning brief, making tactical decisions in simulator training and taking care of the administrative duties. That left me feeling like my only job was to be a second set of hands to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles. Given that the U.S. has never launched an alert ICBM, my job was pretty minimal. You might be thinking, “Wow, what an easy job! How can you complain?” You’re not wrong – it was easy. My “hygiene factors” were in check, but I had zero factors leading to satisfaction. I didn’t hate the job, but it wasn’t motivating. Other commanders afforded me the opportunity to deliver the mission brief, make decisions and fill out paperwork and awards packages. Those times made me feel important. When I delivered briefings I gained public speaking skills and was recognized at the table. When I made tactical decisions and guided my crew through the mission, I felt accomplished. When I learned how to fill out officer performance reports and awards packages, I gained an important career skill and grew as an Airman. Those commanders, by delegating authority and responsibility to the lowest level, created factors that fulfilled my needs that the paycheck alone could not. Their leadership created job satisfaction that directly impacted my performance. I was taught how to fulfill the roles of the commander as a deputy, and I can pay it forward for my deputies. This gives me opportunities to develop and help my subordinates grow, further adding to my sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. What can you do as a leader to give Airmen recognition, responsibility, advancement, or personal and professional growth? The answer to this question can change your answer to my first question.

Cyber security, cyber readiness and you By Griffin Swartzell | SPACE OBSERVER STAFF WRITER
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — A network is only as secure as the people who use it. Everybody who has access to military network infrastructure is responsible for maintaining the core triad of a secure network: confidentiality, integrity and availability. As with any tool in the warfighter’s arsenal, if the Air Force’s network cannot be trusted with total confidence at all times, it isn’t deployable and becomes a liability. It can hamper the Air Force’s ability to complete missions and may threaten national security. The responsibility for maintaining security and readiness rests on everyone from the President to the contractor changing batteries in a radio. “The user thinks that they’re unimportant. Why are they significant?” said Christopher O’Dell, 21st Communications Squadron chief of cybersecurity. “If they log onto the network, they are just as critical as me, and I'm the information systems security manager for the entire 21st Space Wing." For their security and readiness mission, O’Dell and his team need every user with access to a military network to know how to do their part to maintain cybersecurity — that is, to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all military networks. "Any compromise, any vulnerability, is a vulnerability of the system as a whole,” said O’Dell. A vulnerability could allow enemies of the U.S. to access sensitive or confidential information, that puts not just cyber missions but all missions at risk. This could potentially cost the U.S. government money, affect the security of operations both at home and abroad, and put the safety of service members and civilians at risk. "Information leaks could affect our allies or our own folks, whether they're in the continental U.S. or deployed,” said Master Sgt. David Rafsky, 21st CS cybersecurity section chief. Cyber readiness is like any other mission, demanding awareness and due diligence. Personnel need to be aware of and consistent in following Air Force policies with computers and communications, just like with any other security policies. "Someone leaves their CAC in the system and leaves the system open and goes into another room, a threat can have access to the system,” said Rafsky. "All they have to do is wait for the opportunity, for somebody to walk away, and then they browse to a site and type it in real quick. It pulls that malicious software, and they close the browser. It takes 20 seconds,” said O’Dell. “The user

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Everybody who has access to military network infrastructure is responsible for maintaining the core triad of a secure network: confidentiality, integrity and availability. As with any tool in the warfighter's arsenal, if the Air Force's network cannot be trusted with total confidence at all times, it isn't deployable and becomes a liability. "We are all playing a part," said Christopher O'Dell, 21st Communications Squadron chief of cybersecurity. "If any one of us fail at our jobs, the whole enterprise is compromised." comes back and thinks that everything is secure because they're on an Air Force network, but it's been compromised under their account." Rafsky made note of a 2008 incident in which a foreign intelligence agent plugged a flash drive containing malicious software into a DoD computer, causing one of the biggest military network security breaches in U.S. history. At the time, it was unprecedented, and it resulted in sweeping changes to DoD security policies. Threats may also come in the form of phishing attempts — that is, attempts to obtain personal or sensitive information through fraudulent e-mails that try to appear legitimate. They may entice targets to click a link, or enable content
macros in order to steal information. According to Staff Sgt. Matthew Smith, 21st CS cybersecurity technician, phishing attempts may lack digital signatures, come from unusual or unexpected sources, or contain improper spelling or grammatical errors. To test security and readiness, the 21st CS has sent out imitation phishing e-mails. “That’s been a tangible way we’ve been trying to make this real for Airmen,” said Lt. Col. Thomas Hamlyn, 21st CS commander. “There is a renewed focus within the Air Force to get our Airmen back to the mindset where they realize that they are the cyber sentries for our military network.” See Cyber Security page 11

AF Academy’s 118 new instructors start teaching cadets Aug. 8
(U.S. Air Force photo/Trevor Cokley)
U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — New instructors pose for a group photograph at the U.S. Air Force Academy, July 11, 2019. Most of the new instructors, 118 in all, are service members who will take the place of faculty members who have received military orders to a new assignment, retired etc.
By Janine Dreger | U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY PUBLIC AFFAIRS “It’s less about the numbers than it is creating a faculty that fits the needs of cadets,” he said. While most of the new instructors made the academic roster, some are assigned to the Academy’s athletic department, its preparatory school and the Center for Character and Leadership Development. “A lot of the new faculty members will teach chemistry and there’s also been an increase in the faculty at the management department,” Napolitano said. Regardless of where they’ll teach, Napolitano said instructors are guided by the Academy’s nine institutional outcomes: critical thinking, clear communication, engineering, principles of science, ethos and respect, human conditions, national security, warrior ethos and leadership. “Teaching at the Academy doesn’t mean just checking boxes at exams,” he said. “We affect young men and women on their journey of lifelong learning. Creating a meaningful teaching and learning experience is essential at the Academy.” All staff attend a newcomer’s orientation, but this year’s event took the form of an academic conference to better

meet the needs of each new faculty member. “You could say that we want to meet our new faculty’s individual needs in the same way we want our faculty to meet the individual needs of our cadets,” Napolitano said. “We’ve tried to really build orientation around the idea that creating meaningful learning for cadets is essential.” The July 8-12 orientation was tailored to accommodate the various experiences of the instructors. All but 28 are service members. “Some [service members] are returning to the Academy, some are replacing instructors who are on sabbatical,” Napolitano said. Napolitano is assigned to the Academy’s Center for Educational Innovation which promotes, models, supports and celebrates an evidence-based educational excellence through inspiration, integration, and innovation, according to the organization’s mission statement. “The center is so important,” Harting said. “Their programs accelerate the learning need to turn our instructors into professional educators as quickly as possible.”

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — The Air Force Academy added 118 new instructors to its faculty roster this month to replace professors and instructors who have moved on or retired. Col. Troy Harting, the Academy’s vice dean, said there is nothing unusual about this number for a service academy. Most instructors at the Academy are active duty service members who receive orders to a new assignment within 2-4 years after arriving at the school, he said. “While our turnover is a little higher than what you would see at a civilian university as our military instructors complete their assignments, new faces add a dynamism that cadets feel in the classroom,” he said. Marc Napolitano is the Academy’s director of faculty development. “I shape and orient the newcomer’s briefings to meet the needs of the incoming faculty,” he said. Napolitano said any perception of a dip or rise in the teacher-to-student ratio at the school is less important than actually giving cadets what they need to succeed academically.

Motorcycle Safety Program partners with local training agencies
By Airman 1st Class Hanah Abercrombie | 30TH SPACE WING VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Through partnerships with local training agencies, Vandenberg AFB’s motorcycle safety program helps maintain military readiness by ensuring Airman are taught necessary lifesaving skills for riding on the open road. The program ensures riders have access to courses for all skill levels, ranging from a beginner’s course to courses designed to fine-tune and build upon riders’ skills. “I think this program is important because without it, far too many riders wouldn’t have access to the basic rider’s course,” said Airman 1st Class Disney Hook, 30th Space Communication Squadron motorcycle safety representative and client systems technician. “There are countless maneuvers and techniques taught in the courses that can save your life. Even if you’re already an experienced rider, these courses will still make you better.” Before hitting the road at Vandenberg, riders are required to go through a basic rider’s course offered by local partners. After the basic course, riders are allowed to take
up to one course per quarter to hone safe street-riding skills and are required to complete a refresher course after one year. “The great thing about our partners is that they provide almost everything for your training,” said Staff Sgt. Carissa KlevenbergBarerra, 30th Space Wing occupational safety and motorcycle safety program manager. “They provide helmets and motorcycles to use throughout the course, and the only things students need to bring are gloves, over the ankle boots and a long sleeves.” The program ensures training is accessible to all Airmen by streamlining training processes and reimbursing the course costs after completion. “This program benefits Airmen by making sure potential and current riders are educated on the skills taught in these courses,” said Hook. “The partnerships the program has formed are ensuring Airmen ride safely and are ready for the open road.” For more information on the motorcycle safety program, contact (805)-606-8812.

member, Airmen are the foundation to making the biggest difference possible. “We continue to invest resources and remove obstacles as an institution—all of that matters more when Airmen own their culture and take care of each other at the unit level,” said Chief Master Sgt. Roger Towberman, Air Force Space Command command chief. “When I see or hear of initiatives like what’s happening at Peterson, I know we are heading in the right direction. Passionate Airmen

Even C-130’s need a little time for self-care
(U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Frank Casciotta)
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Reserve Citizen Airmen with the 302nd Maintenance Group examine a C-130 Hercules aircraft during an isochronal inspection at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, July 8, 2019. Isochronal inspections are done on each aircraft at the 302nd Airlift Wing every 540 days.
By Tech. Sgt. Frank Casciotta | 302ND AIRLIFT WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Just as people need a little time for self-care, the C-130 Hercules aircraft here take a break from flying operations for some preventative maintenance every 540 days through an isochronal inspection. Under ideal circumstances an isochronal inspection takes about a month to complete and involves over 1,500 maintenance actions and 13 different maintenance shops. “Typically, we will find about 500 discrepancies during these inspections,” said Senior Master Sgt. Tye Taylor, the 302nd Maintenance Squadron flight chief who oversees these inspections. Discrepancies, in this case, can be broken or worn parts,
cracks, corrosion, structural fatiguing--anything that could cause bigger complications over time if they aren’t addressed. “We find structural damage that could end up causing catastrophic failure through a domino-like effect -- one crack leads to more and more of them,” said Taylor. “Most of this stuff you won’t see during day-to-day maintenance operations because they are covered up by panels or other components. The goal here is to get the aircraft through the next 540 days with minimal downtime.” One of the challenges for maintainers is keeping the aircraft in tip-top shape while ensuring enough of them are available to fly missions on a daily basis.
302nd Maintenance Group welcomes new commander
By Tech. Sgt. Frank Casciotta | 302ND AIRLIFT WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 302nd Maintenance Group Airmen welcomed their new commander during a change of command ceremony, here, June 7. Col. Jason Martin relinquished command of the 302nd MXG to Col. Jason Murphy. During his last address to his Reserve Citizen Airmen, Martin, spoke of the group’s professionalism and accomplishments. “You’re inheriting an excellent group of talented maintainers,” said Martin. “I know they’ll be in good hands.” Before taking command of the 302nd MXG, Murphy
graduated from Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, and commanded the Air Force Reserve’s largest maintenance squadron. Martin is now serving as the Air Force Reserve Command’s Aircraft Maintenance Division chief at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The 302nd MXG is responsible for maintaining the 302nd Airlift Wing’s C-130 Hercules aircraft and maintenance equipment. The group trains and equips Airmen to support wartime and peacetime operations, to include the wing’s aerial firefighting mission.
“We don’t like to take them off the flight line because they aren’t flying and that’s what we do here,” said Taylor. “But, this lets us address a lot of the issues that come up during flying operations and take the aircraft off the flight line when it should be flying. “For instance, repairs on landing gear are very time-consuming and if they need repairs while we are trying to generate sorties out of (the aircraft), that’s a problem. That type of maintenance can put an aircraft out of commission for a week or, sometimes, longer depending on supply availability. We do our best to avoid that.”

Officer assists in POW/MIA accounting efforts in Vietnam
By Griffin Swartzell | SPACE OBSERVER STAFF WRITER PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo — Opportunity is a funny thing, knocking when and where it will. For 2nd Lt. Tin Nguyen, 18th Space Control Squadron orbital event officer, an email he said he never saw coming took him across the Pacific Ocean to hunt for evidence in a 50-year-old mystery. Nguyen recently returned to his duties after completing a joint field activity in Vietnam, where he served as a linguist for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, helping track down traces of U.S. service members and civilians missing from conflicts dating back to World War II. “I didn’t know about the DPAA at all until I got the email,” he said. However, he said he thought their mission was honorable and applied right away. The DPAA reached out to Nguyen because after joining the Air Force he took a language test to be certified as fluent in Vietnamese, his first language. He was born in Nha Trang, Vietnam, but he and his parents have lived in the U.S. since 2012, after being sponsored by his aunt and uncle, who were veterans of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and had been living in the U.S. since 1998. “The U.S. was pretty generous and gave my family a lot of support in our early days here,” said Nguyen. “It allowed my parents to have medical care, have jobs and go to school. So my parents encouraged me to give back to my country and join the military.” On his mission with the DPAA, Nguyen was part of a team assigned to assist in the search for a pilot who was killed after a reconnaissance mission in 1968, near Thuong Trach in central Vietnam. Nguyen served as a linguist for his recovery team, a role that incor-
porated translation and cultural advising. He used his training to ensure productive, fair and accurate communication with locals and Vietnamese officials. He also helped with the physical recovery of remains, working alongside local recovery workers. “It’s hard work, of course,” said Nguyen. “We had to operate in really difficult terrain and weather conditions.” The mission went well, he said, and although his team did not find the person of interest, they did provide the DPAA with more information, which will allow them to expand the investigation going forward. For his work, Nguyen was awarded with a Certificate of Appreciation from U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Mark Strickert, DPAA recovery team leader. “During the entire joint field activity, 2nd Lt. Nguyen’s extraordinary commitment resulted in significant progress toward the fullest possible accounting of Americans lost during past conflict in Southeast Asia,” said Strickert in a continuity letter on Nguyen’s conduct on the mission. “While serving in the position of team linguist, his dedication to duty and unwavering efforts played a pivotal role toward achieving Retrieval Team 1’s goal while deployed to Vietnam.” Nguyen said that, given the opportunity, he would absolutely work with the DPAA again. “Experiencing the culture that I used to be in when I lived there, experiencing the differences between it and American culture, and trying to be a cultural expert and cultural advisor for my team was pretty fun," said Nguyen.

TRANSITION SPOTLIGHT
Jim Onder
Congratulations to Air Force Veteran Jim Onder! Jim was recently recruited to the team leading stand-up of U.S. Space Command at Peterson AFB. Following a uniformed career in the civil engineer arena, he finds his current role a familiar and welcomed professional challenge. “In 2017 my transition plan was to complete my degree, earn my Project Management Professional certification, and embrace my transition from the Air Force.” Jim achieved all three goals before seeking out Mt. Carmel and our community partners at Prep Connect 360, a five-day professional workshop touted as a ‘must have’ to successful career transition for veterans. “Mt. Carmel and PC360 gave me great confidence that what I did for the last 26 years transfers directly to the private and defense sectors,” said Jim. “I learned to network successfully with senior industry officials and focus casual communication toward career opportunities.” Today, Jim highlights Mt. Carmel and PC360 to service members preparing to transition. “I learned so much from my peer navigator, my peers and the alumni panel. I learned to share career success stories and challenges that were crucial to my current success,” said Jim. “I also value the continued support from Mt. Carmel and the professional network I developed throughout my transition.”

Cyber Security FROM PAGE 11
“Every one of our Wing Cybersecurity offices everywhere, at every base, is responsible for keeping the entire enterprise as a whole secure,” said O’Dell. “We are all playing a part. If any one of us fail at our jobs, the whole enterprise is compromised." Rafsky offered a few action items that anyone with access to the Air Force network can act on: Every Airman must always be vigilant and do their part in protecting our DoD network. Always know your responsibilities when accessing, processing and protect-
ing DoD systems. Re-enforce your network responsibilities by periodically reviewing your signed agreement of rules of behavior and acceptable use standards for Air Force information technology. Contact your cybersecurity liaison or the 21 SW cybersecurity office for any further questions or concerns. If you encounter a malicious email or other potential cybersecurity issue, contact your unit security manager and the cybersecurity office at 719-556-4253. For a classified incident, call 719-556-0837.
