training prepares volunteers on Peterson By Airman Alexis Christian 21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Greg Heavener, National Weather Service warning coordination meteorologist, teaches the SKYWARN course to service members, civilians, contractors and dependents Oct. 3, 2019 on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The SKYWARN course trains volunteers how to accurately report and measure weather phenomena to the NWS to confirm storms and increase weather warning time.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Military members and civilians took part in storm spotter SKYWARN training Oct. 3, 2019 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. This training was made available for all individuals on base, including military, civilian, contractors and dependents to train volunteer storm spotters. Greg Heavener, National Weather Service warning coordination meteorologist and instructor of the course, said the training is important not just for the people taking it, but for the NWS as well. “We are training volunteers across southern Colorado to report different weather phenomenon to our office,” Heavener said. “We rely on these reports to confirm storms. It helps to improve our lead time for our warnings so people have more time to take protective actions if they need to.” Individuals who attended the class were taught meteorological terminology, how to understand different cloud formations and storms, and how to accurately report dif-

ferent weather phenomenon. This includes hail, tornados, damaging wind, flash flooding and snowfall. 1st Lt. Travis Hodos, 21st Operational Support Squadron flight commander for the weather operation flight, contacted Heavener to help bring the SKYWARN class to Peterson. “The base is going through what’s called a storm ready certification right now, and part of that process requires having public presentations and awareness of possible impacting weather here on base, so SKYWARN helps to cover this process,” Heavener said. The certification is not the only reason this class is important though, Hodos said. Volunteers providing reports to the NWS also impacts the mission here at Peterson. “Volunteers providing reports to the weather station helps make our forecasts more accurate,” said Hodos. “With more accurate forecasts and conditions we are able to provide better data to the wing commander and other individuals who need weather information for operations. One example

is snow call. If we get reports of higher snow accumulation and severe winds in certain areas, or unsafe road conditions, we are able to provide that information, along with the upcoming forecasts to the commander so he is better equipped to make that decision.” The NWS and the weather squadron on Peterson works in tandem to help provide weather warnings for the base and local areas. If personnel are not at their computers to receive weather alerts, the NWS provides those alerts through their website and local weather alerts that come to their phones via the national alert system. “Any weather alerts we send out, the flight services team also sends out to the base,” said Heavener. “The most important thing is for people to have multiple ways to receive these alerts. There are local alerts for phones, Federal Emergency Management Agency and Red Cross weather apps and weather radio. Having multiple ways to receive warnings is crucial for helping to keep you and your family safe.”

But one unit, I learned that despite how hard we push the importhing is certain – our core value of service before self is tance of going to leaders and helping agencies for assistance, the center focus regardless of which theory you subscribe Airmen still feel there are lingering negative connotations to.

with these types of issues. They’d been there too. Yes, all of our plates are full. Yes, we all have dozens of taskers that all seem to demand our attention right this second. But we have got to make the time to truly build relationships with our Airmen. We need to know our Airmen well enough that we can tell just by looking at them that they’re having a bad day, and then we need to take the time to do something about it. We need to genuinely care about them, and they need to be able to tell that we do. An Airman who thinks their leadership doesn’t care about them as a person is an Airman who begins to think they don’t matter. And let me just tell you myself – you all matter. You are all necessary. We need you. I think that the resiliency tactical pause was a fantastic idea, and we need to take it seriously. If we approach this as just another box we need to check and our Airmen can tell we’re just checking a box, then we are not meeting General Goldfein’s intent. I believe his intent is for us to truly take a breath, use that time to foster our relationships with one another and incorporate these types of events into our culture for lasting improvement. So take time regularly for those relationships, and don’t just read from training material. Look one another in the eyes and have a real conversation. Talk about what’s hard, what you’re struggling with, what brings you joy. Find some common ground, and connect with one another because real relationships are what show us that we matter and what make all the difficult parts of this life we’ve chosen worth it. Anyone seeking additional support can call 719-552-HELP, Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 or text “TALK” to 38255.

Schriever, Peterson Airmen ‘strike-out’ against domestic violence

By 2nd Lt. Idalí Beltré Acevedo | 50TH SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Peterson Air Force Base Family Advocacy Program hosted its second-annual Domestic Violence Awareness month bowling tournament, "Strike-Out Domestic Violence" at the Bowling Center on Peterson AFB, Colorado, Oct. 1. According to Angela Lenn, 21st Medical Group Family Advocacy Program assistant, around 50 members from both Schriever and Peterson AFBs supported the bowling event. Kim Lee Vehige, 21st Family Advocacy Program Intervention Specialist talked about the collaborative efforts to make the tournament a reality. “The intent of the bowling tournament is to raise awareness that October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and to highlight resources available,” she said. “It’s also super fun and a great way to connect and collaborate in our communities, both at Peterson and Schriever. The Peterson FAP does all the organizing for the event, but Schriever Shirts and other Schriever personnel are our main supporters of the event.” Jessica Ditson, 50th Space Wing Violence Prevention Integrator, defined ‘intimate partner violence,’ another term for domestic violence. “Healthy relationships are vital,” she said. “Without a clear idea of what intimate partner violence can look like (emotional abuse, financial abuse, threats of physical violence, or sexual violence) it can be hard to intervene or identify the characteristics in a relationship you may be part of.” According to The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, domestic violence is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community regardless of economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion or nationality. “Domestic violence remains a very stigmatized and taboo subject that is still very underreported,” said Monica Ibarra, 21st Medical Group Family Advocacy Program intervention specialist. “Bringing awareness is important to help victims come forward.

We, as a community, have to be able to discuss difficult and uncomfortable subjects to make a positive impact.” Ibarra elaborated on the family advocacy program services at Peterson Air Force Base. “We assist families based on their individual circumstances and needs,” she said. “We have social workers who provide individual, marital and family therapy; we also have a victim advocate and a nurse who runs our New Parent Support Program.” Ibarra highlighted the proactive nature of the FAP and its emphasis on early intervention. “Most people don’t realize that we are also a prevention program,” she said. “We want to intervene as early as possible to help families get back on track, and we want people to know the signs of maltreatment to empower them to get out of a potentially harmful relationship.” The Peterson AFB FAP is part of the 21st Medical Group at the Peterson AFB’s Mental Health Clinic. It also serves Schriever AFB and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station and works closely with their partners to ensure services are standardized. “Building strong relationships with people is key for any program; we need to ensure a level of safety and comfort with Airmen, we know how important that is,” Ibarra said. “We get out to Schriever as often as we can for various activities, outreach, etc., to help build awareness for our program and foster relationships.” Ditson said Schriever AFB and Peterson AFB work together to support Airmen in the battle against domestic violence. The FAP is working to get office space at Schriever so Airmen can have ease of access to their services. They expect to be present on base at least a few times each week, Ibarra said. Ditson highlighted the importance of being a good Wingman and reminded help is available to those seeking to get out of a toxic relationship or those helping a loved one do the same.

The Peterson Air Force Base Family Advocacy Program hosted its second-annual "Strike-Out Domestic Violence" bowling tournament at the Bowling Center on Peterson AFB, Colorado, Oct. 1, 2019. The tournament provided a physical outlet for Schriever and Peterson Airmen to meet, connect and support the cause against domestic violence by bowling. “Make sure that your language and actions support an environment of trust and connection so people feel safe disclosing they need help,” she said. “Help them decide the best course of action and know leaving domestic violence situations can be very dangerous. You don’t have to do this alone, reach out to resources to support the next steps to safety.” Ibarra explained FAP services are available for individuals (not just families) and they are completely confidential. “Much like the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, we do have a restricted reporting option for victims of domestic violence,” she said. “If there’s ever

any question about disclosure obligations, an Airmen can always call us anonymously and ask hypothetical questions. It is very important to us that a victim has autonomy over the outcome of his/her own situation as much as possible.” For more information about the Peterson AFB FAP program, call 719-567-4357 (HELP) extension six for family advocacy program, option one for the main office; option two for the domestic abuse victim advocate.

Air War College faculty members met with senior leaders from U.S. Space Command and Headquarters, Air Force Space Command on Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., Sep. 30, 2019, at the start of a week-long staff ride to the Front Range, focusing on the important role of the space warfighter. The purpose of the training was to educate AWC faculty on challenges and opportunities the space community is facing in order to help prepare their students to advocate for space as they step into increasingly more strategic positions regardless of their service, country or career field.

Peterson Airmen selected for advanced space training

By Chief Master Sgt. Susan Sparks | 21ST OPERATIONS GROUP PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — There is a cadre of experts who form a fraternity of trusted advisors and problem solvers. These are our weapons officers, our institutional reservoir of tactical and operational knowledge. They, as well as their enlisted counterparts, advanced instructors, are selected based on their competency, experience and mettle. A graduate from weapons school, or the advanced instructor course, is called a “patch” and gets issued a memorable (or embarrassing) call sign, which usually is associated with a hidden story. Their five to six months of rigorous advanced training focuses the students on the in-domain space fight and joint warfighter support problem sets, and further prepares them to meet the challenges they are sure to face as they go forward. After graduation, these experts complement each other in their skill sets as they fill

roles in tactical units and wing weapons and tactics shops as well as joint billets in our nation’s combatant commands. They act as key advisors to our commanders and ensure high quality mission planning, advanced training and tactics development within their organizations. When things go wrong, they are trained in debriefing to find the true root cause and extract the lessons learned for the benefit of the community. The humility, commitment to excellence and expertise of these space professionals serves to enhance the entire force. We are proud to announce the selection of six of our family. Tech. Sgt. Colton Collins and Tech. Sgt. Thomas Parnell are selectees for the Space Warfighter Advanced Instructor Course. Also, Capt. Ariel Rollins, Capt. Shannon Sewell, Capt. Matthew Simpson and 1st Lt. James Dean are selectees for the Space Superiority Weapons Instructor Course.

Air Force Academy hosts annual “Audience with an Astronaut” event

(U.S. Air Force photo/Joshua Armstrong)

Air Force Lt. Col. (Ret.) Duane Carey speaks to nearly 300 local students Oct. 9, 2019 at the Air Force Academy about his time in space and the journey to get there. The event highlighted the importance of science, engineering, technology and math education as well as the role of the space industry.

By Jennifer Spradlin | AIR FORCE ACADEMY PUBLIC AFFAIRS U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Duane G. “Digger” Carey, a former NASA astronaut who piloted the STS-109 Columbia mission in March 2002, spoke to more than 300 fifth and sixth graders from schools across the Front Range at the Air Force Academy Oct. 9. The annual “Audience with an Astronaut” event is held in partnership with the Space Foundation and highlights science, technology, engineering and math education as well as the role of the space industry. Carey shared his journey from childhood poverty in Minnesota to a career as a fighter

and test pilot and later as astronaut to demonstrate a non-traditional path to success. “I hated school so much as a kid I’d hide out in the woods during a blizzard to avoid school,” he said. “I missed school more than 60 times during my first and second grade, and even though I later graduated from high school, I didn’t pay enough attention during class and didn’t earn very good grades.” As a young man he worked a variety of odd jobs, including bartending, where he later met a Vietnam veteran who flew fighter aircraft. That conversation led him to become interested in aviation, although he soon realized that

he would have to get a college education first. “I want to let you in on a secret that I didn’t learn until I was in college: math supercharges your brain,” he said. “You don’t have to like it, you don’t have to be good at it. I wasn’t that smart, but in working hard on math you will get better at all your other subjects – even sports or dance.” He encouraged the students to pursue their own goals a lot sooner than he did. Those steps included gathering the credentials and education they would need for their fields, which he attributedPPWFC to hisCSMNG ability become astronaut.1 FallJobFair 4.979 xan 7.5 10.9.2019.pdf Carey challenged the students to be first

people to ride dirt bikes on Mars and answered questions on everything from space travel to the effects of gravity. Students also took part in separate sessions that highlighted how fun chemistry, physics and virtual reality technology could be. “Space is really something you can use to get children excited about STEM,” said Chrys Rheinbolt, Space Foundation program manager for education. “Meeting an astronaut is a big thing for these kids but so is working with cadets – people closer to their own age in STEM-related programs and who the kids 10/9/2019 9:59:44 AM can look up to.”

KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. — Reserve Citizen Airmen from the 815th Airlift Squadron, aka ‘Flying Jennies,’ with the 327th AS, provided airlift and airdrop support for the U.S. Army’s Joint Forces Exercise Arctic Anvil, Oct. 1 to 6, 2019. Arctic Anvil is a joint, multi-national, force-on-force culminating training exercise that is being held at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center, Mississippi, throughout the month of October. “The 815th, along with the 327th Airlift Squadron, had the pleasure of supporting the (4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division) for the exercise Arctic Anvil by providing personnel and equipment airdrop as well as short-field air land operations,” said Lt. Col. Mark Suckow, 815th AS pilot. “We were able to airdrop 400 paratroopers and equipment Wednesday night and 20 bundles of supplies Sunday into Camp Shelby.” The 815th AS is an Air Force Reserve Command tactical airlift unit assigned to the 403rd Wing here. The unit transports supplies, equipment and personnel into a theater of operation. The 403rd Wing maintains 20 C-130J Super Hercules aircraft, 10 of which are flown by the Flying Jennies. “We had the opportunity to provide three aircrews and two C-130Js to help execute the mass airlift and airdrop,” said Col. Dan Collister, 913th Airlift Group deputy commander. The 327th AS is a unit of the 913th AG based out of Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, and is an associate unit of the 19th Airlift Wing, an active duty unit equipped with C-130J Super Hercules aircraft. “Our primary mission at the 913th is to provide combat-ready Airmen, tactical airlift and agile combat support, thus participating in a joint exercise such as this is a great way for our Reserve Citizen Airmen to hone their skills and get experience working

hand-in-hand with partner units and sister services,” said Collister. More than 3,000 ‘Arctic Soldiers’ of the 4/25th ICBT (ABN), based out of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, are participating in the joint forces exercise. "At Camp Shelby, our paratroopers have completed a mass tactical airborne operation followed by force-on-force exercises culminating with combined live-fire training that will prepare us for the brigade’s upcoming Joint Readiness Training Exercise in January, said U.S. Army Col. Christopher Landers, 4/25th IBCT (ABN) commander. “Camp Shelby and the state of Mississippi have provided a remarkable training opportunity, that without their significant support, would not have been possible." In addition to the 4/25th ICBT (ABN), soldiers from the 177th Combat Sustainment Support Brigade, the 3rd Royal Canadian Regiment, and Airmen from various units collaborated for the exercise. Airmen from the 403rd Wing, 913th Airlift Group, 321st Contingency Response Squadron and 81st Training Wing supported the Air Force’s role in Arctic Anvil. Airmen from the 81st Logistics Readiness Squadron and Operations Support Flight contributed to the exercise with ground vehicle transportation and airspace support for the soldiers who were rigging their supplies for airdrop here. “I am proud of our crews for this exercise,” said Suckow. “They executed the mission as planned and helped to us to meet our objectives. Time over target for airdrop and airland operations were executed flawlessly. The air land portion into the (landing zone) was completed in less than minimal time from landing to takeoff. Having the opportunity to work with thousands of soldiers in a large scale exercise like this is very beneficial training for us, it prepares us for real world operations.”
