Mike the Knight disposes of medication in a MedSafe Oct. 23, 2019, on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. These MedSafes allow anyone with access to Peterson to safely and securely dispose of unused, unwanted or expired medication year-round.
By Griffin Swartzell | 21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — National Prescription Drug Take Back Day was on Saturday, Oct. 26, but those with access to Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, don’t have to wait. They can dispose of their expired and unwanted medications at one of two MedSafe disposal boxes located in the 21st Medical Group’s main pharmacy waiting area and the satellite pharmacy between the commissary and base exchange. “In order for any pharmacy to be able to take controlled medications back through the MedSafe, we have to register through the Drug Enforcement Agency as a collector,” says Lt Col. Mark Ballesteros, 21st Medical Support Squadron diagnostics and therapeutics flight commander. “We have modified our DEA registration to include that function as well. That allows us to set up these MedSafes.”

Some drugs can be thrown away or disposed by flushing, but it’s always safest to dispose of drugs in a MedSafe or through a drug take back program. Drugs with addictive potential like opioid painkillers, barbiturates and amphetamines can make them a liability both in the home and in unsecured garbage bins. “The Environmental Protection Agency has given some guidance on proper medication disposal because of the potential concern for affecting the environment, specifically medications working their way into the water table, so it's advisable to keep that to a minimum,” says Ballesteros. He adds that the Food and Drug Administration publishes a list of medicines that are recommended for disposal by flushing if take-back options aren’t available at https://www.fda.gov/ drugs/disposal-unused-medicines-what-you-should-know/
drug-disposal-flush-potentially-dangerous-medicine#FlushList. With that said, there are some things that should not be disposed of in these MedSafes. Needles and sharps, for instance, require different precautions for safe handling. Ballesteros recommends using a sharps collection program, such as the one offered through El Paso County Household Hazardous Waste, which can be reached at 719-520-7878. Failing that, sharps can be disposed of in a retail sharps disposal container or heavy, puncture-proof plastic or metal vessels such as an empty bleach bottle or metal coffee can. Such containers should be marked as sharps or biohazard waste, firmly sealed and thrown in the trash, never recycled. Additionally, the MedSafes are not approved for disposal of Schedule 1 controlled substances, such as heroin, cannabis and MDMA (Ecstasy/Molly).

Investing in resiliency
By Lt. Col. William Sanders | 4TH SPACE CONTROL SQUADRON PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A family member commits suicide; your friend gets grievously injured; you have to put your dog down. What if they all happened to you within the same month? My family experienced all of those things in August of this year. I want to share with you how we invested in our resilience before those things happened, and how we responded when the investments weren’t enough to overcome those challenges. My wife and I routinely check the “how to build resiliency” boxes: proper sleep, healthy diet, regular exercise, church, meditation, and community. These deposits in our “resiliency account” help mitigate day-to-day stressors. Sometimes we have to make withdrawals from that resiliency account that exceed our deposits. Those withdrawals may be from chronic stress, family emergencies, or some other crisis in our lives. If those cumulative stressors exceed our ability to bounce back the way we expect, it’s time to get help. I was in just such a position earlier this summer. Command is a tough job for the entire family. We were not coping as well as we could with the chronic stress of the job plus some tension in our extended family. Angelia and I noticed that we were short-tempered with each other, our 10-year old son, and our friends. We were not at our best. After Angelia and I talked, my first step was to talk to my first sergeant (yes, the first shirt helps commanders too!)
Sometime later, a friend pointed out to me that I was “off,” so I decided to schedule time with the chaplain. Afterward, I felt lighter. Coincidentally, that conversation with the chaplain preceded 10 days of planned leave. I thought vacation would be all I needed in order to top off my resiliency reserves. Unfortunately, our family had challenges ahead that would require more resiliency withdrawals than anticipated. Our leave started out perfectly: driving through a wooded road on our way to a serene lakeside cabin in Maine. But, as we pulled up to the cabin that first day, my wife received the heartbreaking news that her stepdad, a man whom she loved as a father, committed suicide. To complicate matters, Angelia was named as executor of his estate and had to work through many of the initial decisions while we were on “vacation” with my side of the family. All while she was processing her own grief. Two days after returning from Maine, my mom called to tell me one of my childhood friends was gravely injured in Afghanistan. While his extended care team pulled off a miracle to save his life, he is now a triple amputee with an extremely long road ahead. Growing up, he was like my younger brother. It hit me hard. Just a few days later, our dog, Jack, became unexpectedly very ill. Jack was 16 years old, and an integral part of our
Invest in your resiliency every day and build up your account. Recognize when your resiliency withdrawals start to exceed your deposits, as mine did, and get help.
family, so we were devastated to say goodbye to him. Each situation on its own might be tolerable, but together, these events completely depleted our resiliency account. Knowing we needed help, we committed right away to see a Military and Family Life Counselor. My wife and I both found it to be extremely helpful in processing what had happened over the preceding weeks. Our counselor was a great listener and offered practical advice to help us move forward with the month we had just endured. While we probably would have survived that rough time without help, I’m confident it would have been more difficult. I have no doubt that by acknowledging we needed help, knowing what resources were available, and reaching out, we bounced back quicker and are stronger as a family. We all need help from time to time. To highlight that it is okay to get help, I chose to share this story with my squadron in my September commander’s call. We could not have anticipated the response, but we were overwhelmed by the support from our extended military family. We are extremely grateful for the many people that reached out to us. We are still working through everything as a family, but we are much further along thanks to all the support we received. Invest in your resiliency every day and build up your account. Recognize when your resiliency withdrawals start to exceed your deposits, as mine did, and get help. At some point this happens to all of us. Look for signs that you aren’t bouncing back as high as you should and tap into the world-class resources every Airman has at their disposal. We don’t go through life alone, there is always a team around us: friends, family, and wingmen. I think I speak for all of your fellow Airmen when I say that we are here for you as so many of you were here for me and my family.

21st Space Wing completes unit effectiveness inspection By Heather Heiney | 21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Just like people, organizations need regular checkups to make sure that they are healthy and that everything is functioning the way it’s meant to. That’s why wings across the Air Force maintain inspection programs. The Air Force Space Command Inspector General recently concluded a week-long capstone inspection of the 21st Space Wing that dove into its different organizations and programs. This capstone inspection was the culmination of a larger, 30-month, unit effectiveness inspection period in which the IG also conducted several on-site visits at Peterson Air Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station and Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado; Cavalier Air Force Station, North Dakota; Thule Air Base, Greenland; and the Maui Space Surveillance Complex, Hawaii. Inspection team members looked at the wing through the lens of four major graded areas to create a comprehensive assessment of unit effectiveness. Those areas are executing the mission, managing resources, improving the unit and leading people. Each area and wing as a whole can be graded ineffective, marginally effective, effective or highly effective. The 21st SW was graded effective overall and within each of the major graded areas. “The UEI evaluates commander’s inspection program accuracy, adequacy and relevance, and it provides an independent assessment of the wing’s resource management,
leadership, process improvement efforts and ability to execute the mission,” said Tech. Sgt. Shierae Bryan, 21st SW IG inspection planner. “The UEI focuses on identifying areas where risks from undetected non-compliance are greatest and aiding wing commanders in identifying areas for improvement in the Commander’s Inspection Program.” Col. Thomas Falzarano, 21st Space Wing commander, said that while there’s always going to be areas that have room for improvement, he believes that the wing nailed the inspection as a team. “The IG was thoroughly impressed with your professionalism,” he said. “I appreciate everything you do every day.” The IG also recognized individuals and teams within the wing that stood out as professional performers. “We have an entire wing of outstanding and amazing airmen and professional performers and I wish we could catch all of you doing great things,” Falzarano said. Individual professional performers included: •• Master Sgt. Lance Tressler, 21st Space Wing Chapel •• Staff Sgt. Kevin Acevedo-Nunez, Diance Boldt and Sara Plambeck, 21st Space Wing Judge Advocate •• Senior Airman Joseph Kerlavage, Kimberly Gresens and James Parkinson, 21st Comptroller Squadron •• Master Sgt.

Air Force announces NCO Career Status Program for Airmen with 12 years of service
National American Indian Heritage Month
By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs WASHINGTON (AFNS) — The Air Force announced Oct. 30 it will implement the new Noncommissioned Officer Career Status Program for active duty Airmen, which will affect reenlistment contracts executed on or after Nov. 18. The change will eliminate the need for Airmen who have 12 or more years of service to continue to reenlist by aligning their separation dates with their high year of tenure dates. “Career Airmen are consummate professionals who have demonstrated their commitment to service,” said Lt. Gen. Brian Kelly, Air Force deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services. “They play a crucial role in developing the next generation of Airmen. With this adjustment, we’re providing them the associated flexibility to make individualized career decisions.” Airmen who reenlist under the NCO Career Status Program will follow processes similar to those of officers and will incur active duty service commitments. The Selective Retention Bonus program will not be impacted by CSP other than a few administrative processing changes. If eligible for an SRB, Airmen electing to accept the bonus — and the associated ADSC — will apply for the SRB via myPers and complete an application electronically. The Air Force’s Personnel Center will identify and notify those Airmen on career status contracts who are eligible for an SRB on a monthly basis.
Like officers, enlisted Airmen may apply for separation prior to their high year of tenure date with an effective date no later than 180 days from the date of request. “What we are saying to our Airmen is we hear you,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright. “We recognize your commitment to a profession in the Air Force, and we’re going to manage your service commitment in a way that provides you with reduced paperwork and increased efficiency.” Airmen with 12 years of service who sign a reenlistment contract on or after Nov. 18 will fall under the CSP and that will be their last contract. CSP Airmen will no longer see a date of separation in their records until they are within 12 months of their high year of tenure date. Upon getting promoted, the date of separation for CSP Airmen will automatically be updated to the high year of tenure date of the new rank. Current high year of tenure lengths of service by rank are: •• 20 years for E-5 •• 22 years for E-6 •• 24 years for E-7 •• 26 years for E-8 •• 30 years for E-9 The reenlistment form has also been changed to increase efficiency and reduce errors between the personnel and financial systems. For more information, visit the NCO Career Status Program page of the AFPC public website.

Each year, the president issues a proclamation in recognition of the National American Indian Heritage Month, which is observed from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30. The observance month recognizes American Indians for their respect for natural resources and the Earth. American Indians are also recognized for having served with valor in our Nation's conflicts and for their many distinct and important contributions to the United States. The theme for this year’s observance is Honoring Our Nations: Building Strength Through Understanding.
By 30th Space Wing Equal Opportunity Office VANDENBER AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Each year, the President issues a proclamation in recognition of the National American Indian Heritage Month, which is observed from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30. The observance month recognizes American Indians for their respect for natural resources and the Earth. American Indians are also recognized for having served with valor in our Nation's conflicts and for their many distinct and important contributions to the United States. The theme for this year’s observance is Honoring Our Nations: Building Strength Through Understanding. During World War I and World War II, many American Indian people served in the U.S. military as “code talkers” and used their tribal languages as an unbreakable military code. These “code talkers” came from many different tribes includ-
ing Chippewa, Choctaw, Creek, Crow, Comanche, Hopi, Navajo, Seminole and Sioux. During World War II, the Navajos constituted the largest component within the elite group. American Indians have historically had the highest military service per capita record when compared to other ethnic groups. Their culture celebrates traditional values that compel them to serve their country. They are heritage to a proud warrior tradition, best exemplified by the following qualities said to be inherent to most, if not all, Native American societies: strength, honor, pride, devotion and wisdom. These qualities closely correlate with military tradition. This National American Indian Heritage Month, we take time to appreciate the contributions American Indians have made and continue to make for our nation.

Air Force releases criteria for new Remote Combat Effects Campaign Medal SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON (AFNS) — Air Force officials announced nomination criteria for the new Remote Combat Effects Campaign Medal following the official establishment of the decoration May 22. The new medal, established by then-Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, is part of a continuing effort to recognize U.S. Air Force military members in a non-deployed status who directly participated in a Department of Defense combat operation from a remote location. “Our remote operations community makes vital contributions to our national security and the security of our allies,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein. “These Airmen play a crucial role in every campaign we undertake, and this medal is for them.” The RCECM will be awarded to Airmen serving in remotely piloted aircraft, cyber, space and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance career fields, who create direct combat effects from remote locations and lead to strategic outcomes or the delivery of lethal force. In some circumstances, Airmen from other career fields may be considered for the RCECM, which will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Service members may be awarded the RCECM for actions completed on or after Sept. 11, 2001, while also serving under the following conditions: 1) Was assigned or attached to a unit directly in support of a DoD combat operation as approved by the chief of staff of the Air Force (listed below) 2) Was serving in a remotely piloted aircraft; cyber; space or intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance career field 3) Personally provided hands-on employ-

Wingman University exemplifies resiliency and support By Michael Peterson | 30TH SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
(U.S. Air Force photo by Michael Peterson)
Wingman University participants take part in a resiliency walk during the 2019 fall Wingman Day Nov. 1, 2019, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Checkpoint stations were placed throughout the walk with a challenge or discussion topic based on the four pillars of Comprehensive Airmen Fitness: mental, physical, social and spiritual. The Air Force teaches its members to use these four pillars to help build resiliency and sustain a healthy workplace and community.
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — One might forgive Vandenberg Air Force Base for looking more like a college campus than a military installation for a day. With base personnel donning their favorite college apparel in place of uniforms and work clothes as they walk to their elected classes, a relaxed theme of education and learning is on the curriculum for Wingman University Nov. 1, 2019. The idea for Wingman University spurred from feedback during the recent Resiliency Tactical Pause, an Air-Force wide effort to help prevent suicides and help Airmen in need by giving them time back to connect and break down barriers. The 30th Space Wing is continuing to build on the foundation of the RTP by tying in the team-building focus of its Wingman Day program. “The Resilience Tactical Pause was largely about receiving feedback to understand how we as an Air Force can better care for our Airmen,” said Chief Master Sgt. Daryl Hogan, 30th SW command chief. “Wingman Day, as practiced here with Team Vandenberg, is about culture. It’s about creating and continuing a culture of inclusion among our teammates where we take a step back from the daily grind and focus on connecting with one another. In a nutshell, Wingman Day is putting the idea behind the RTP into action.” At the core of Wingman University is a curriculum of twenty elective courses Airmen and
civilians can select from. These courses look to provide tips and advice on various life skills including: relationship advice, leadership tools, work-life balance, stress management and creating goals. “We liked the idea of offering many different types of resilience classes where the student had the choice to select which class to attend,” explained Pauline Chui, 30th SW community support coordinator. “We hope that each member of Team Vandenberg has a chance to build on their own resilience skills in some way. We also hope they will be able to reflect on their own comprehensive health and are able take away some new skill from the day that will help strengthen their personal resilience.” For members of Vandenberg AFB, Wingman Day provides an opportunity to explore various self-improvement classes in a way they see fit, choosing the topics they believe will be most helpful or interesting to them, and making connections along the way. “Everyone should know that they matter, and they are part of a team that cares,” said Chui. “If someone is feeling helpless or hopeless or going through some difficult times, we hope they know they can call on their fellow Airmen at Team Vandenberg or one of our helping agencies for assistance. Conveying this message has always been a priority throughout the year for us, and Wingman Day is a capstone of these efforts.”

Wingman University participants interact with various base support agencies and organizations during the expo portion of Wingman Day Nov. 1, 2019, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The expo allowed service members and civilians the opportunity to speak directly with representatives of support agencies and base organizations to get any information and resources they might need.

Luke Davidiuk, 30th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron director of psychological health, introduces his course “How to get better sleep” to Wingman University students Nov. 1, 2019, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

The 30th Space Wing is continuing to build on the foundation of the RTP by tying in the team-building focus of its Wingman Day program.

The U.S. Air Force Academy Falcons beat the U.S. Military Academy at West Point Black Knights 17-13 at Falcon Stadium, Nov. 2, 2019. U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — The Air Force Academy football team completed a goal line stand in the final minute of the game to defeat Army West Point, 1713, Saturday afternoon, Nov. 2, at Falcon Stadium. Air Force (7-2, 4-1 MW) has now won four games in a row and is 5-0 in Falcon Stadium this season. Both teams went nearly blow-for-blow all game, as the Falcons finished with a one yard advantage in total offense, 344-343. The Falcons controlled the ground game, rushing for 328 to Army’s 129. AF was also a perfect 3-for-3 in the red zone, while the Black Knights were 1-for-3. Leading the offense once again was sophomore fullback Timothy Jackson, as he completed his fourth-straight 100-plus yard game, finishing with a new career-best 155 on 20 carries and a score. He is the first fullback in program history to have four consecutive 100+ yard rushing efforts. The other touchdown was scored by junior Joshua Stoner, and he finished with 59 yards. Right behind him was classmate Kadin Remsberg, who had 54 yards on just eight carries. On the defensive side of the ball, senior linebacker Kyle Johnson led the unit with 11 total tackles while junior Jordan Jackson had nine stops, as well as the game’s lone sack. Senior defensive back Zane Lewis also added eight tackles, seven solo, and also had a key pass breakup in the end zone on Army’s final drive. Army started the game with the ball, and proceeded to put together a nice drive that led them to first and goal to go. From there, they had eight cracks at the end zone after an Air Force penalty, but the Black Knights were stopped at the one yard line, turning it over on downs. On AF’s first possession, they got the ball back near midfield before being stopped, forcing a punt right before the end of the first quarter. After the first 15 minutes the
game remained scoreless. Air Force’s second drive led to points, as a 32-yard run from Jackson set up AF in the red zone. The drive stalled from there, setting up a 20-yard field goal from senior Jake Koehnke, which he drilled to break the ice. On Army’s ensuing drive, they went 65 yards in 11 plays, taking nearly seven minutes off the clock, and resulting in a one yard TD on fourth down. The extra point was no good, however, keeping it 6-3, which held into halftime. Coming out of the half, both teams traded two possessions, as neither offense could get any traction. AF’s third drive of the half resulted in points, though, as a nine-play, 64-yard drive was capped off by a Jackson three yard rush, giving AF the lead back, 10-6, with two and a half minutes to the half. The lead was short lived, as on the very next play from scrimmage, Army bombed a 75yard TD pass to retake the lead, 13-10. Right before the end of the quarter, Hammond broke free for a 30-yard gain to set up the Falcons nicely into the fourth. Four plays into the fourth quarter, Stoner capped off a nine-play, 74-yard drive with a five yard scoring plunge, giving AF its third lead of the day, 17-13, with 13 minutes to play. There was then three straight three and outs, burning five and a half minutes of clock and giving AF the ball with 8:30 to go. The Falcons then used up 5:45 more before punting the ball back with three to go. Needing a TD to take the lead after the missed extra point earlier, Army went to work on their drive. They worked their way all the way down to the five, but Air Force’s defense was up to the task again, forcing an incomplete pass on fourth down, sealing the four point win. Air Force gets back on the road next weekend as they head to Albuquerque to take on New Mexico. Kickoff against the Lobos is set for noon.

Big wins for small business expected at Air Force Space Pitch Day By Richard Lewis | SPACE AND MISSILE SYSTEMS CENTER PUBLIC AFFAIRS SAN FRANCISCO — On Nov. 5, the U.S. Air Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) kicked-off the first Air Force Space Pitch Day event in which the center is expected to green light up to $50 million in contract awards. During this two-day event, small businesses and start-ups will pitch to a specific Air Force Space mission set in hopes of scoring a contract with the Air Force. Pitch days are designed as a fast-track program putting companies on onepage contracts and same-day awards with the swipe from a government credit card. This gives small business companies and start-ups access to the military market, millions in contract awards, and is a major departure from the lengthy contracting processes. “The Air Force is leveraging modern commercial business practices to enable the rapid development of small business ecosystems that have dual-use cutting edge technologies to enable the fielding of fast, relevant and affordable solutions that support our Air Force,” said Lt. Gen. John F. Thompson, SMC commander and Air Force Program Executive Officer for space. The Air Force has to find innovative ways to do business and speed things up, say military leaders, as adversaries are nipping at our heels. Lt. Gen. Thompson is eager to hear the pitches – and underlines the need for speed. “We are getting better but we are not getting better fast enough,” said Thompson. “We are in competition against thinking adversaries. They have the capability, will and motivation to do harm to the global commons of space. It’s adapt or get overcome – and we can’t let that happen. “During this pitch day,
previous Small Business Innovative Research awardees are pitching their new technology solutions and concepts at the event that targets the Air Force’s most critical space challenges.” Space Pitch Day is unique due to the internal partnerships between the end user warfighter and small businesses vying for a chance to work with the Air Force, according to Thompson. The Air Force benefits by being able to field faster, more relevant and affordable solutions. “Mind-blowing ideas are being birthed in U.S. start-up companies, but the Pentagon largely misses out,” said Dr. Will Roper, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. “We have to do business at the speed of relevance,” said Roper. The Air Force is doing everything possible to improve the way acquisition is done. The Space Pitch Day will feature keynote speeches from military leaders, expert panels, along with an expo floor of up to 60 booths. The innovative startup pitchers have the potential to earn contract awards in critical areas such as: innovation in early missile detection and warning, space situational awareness, space communications, space visualization, multi-domain command and control, data mining, operations within electronically contested environments, artificial intelligence, responsive launch systems, space logistics, and protection of critical space assets. Space Pitch Day demonstrates the Air Force’s commitment to building a faster and smarter strategy in technology investments and small, non-traditional partnership. The Air Force has already awarded $9 million in contracts on day one alone… on to day two!

Reservist plays part on U.S. basketball team in contention for bronze
By Joe Lacdan | U.S. ARMED FORCES SPORT
WUHAN, China — As the U.S. Armed Forces women’s basketball players began warmups in their matchup against host China Monday, a raucous crowd filed into Wuhan’s Hankou Culture and Sports Center. About 60 uniformed Chinese military sat on one end while China’s towering front line slowly made their way onto the court. One of those teammates warming up was Senior Airman Santia Jackson, a Reserve Citizen Airman with the 16th Intelligence Squadron at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. After beating France Saturday and losing to Brazil Sunday, the U.S. players faced their toughest challenge in the CISM Military World Games, held every four years by the international military sports council. China had four players 6-3 or taller, including 6-9 WNBA draftees Han Xu and 6-7 Li Yueru, who passed on playing in the WNBA this season to compete for the Chinese military team. The Chinese entered the contest averaging 119.5 points per game, nearly double the U.S. average of 61.5. “You cannot teach and sometimes they say you can’t even coach size,” said U.S. coach Paul Parker Jr. The U.S. came out determined to deny entry passes to China’s massive front line. Led by Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Danica Dale, who scored eight first-quarter points, the U.S. women raced to an early 14-11 lead. Then Dale had to leave the contest with two fouls and the Chinese players swiftly took command of the game, going on a 12-0 run. Instead of using their post players, the Chinese posted up their wing players who also had size advantage over the U.S. team. Chinese forward Jin Jiabao scored a blistering 17 first-half points in only 14 minutes, including 5 of 7 three-pointers. China (3-0) led the U.S. 62-28
F R E E
at halftime, fueled by a second quarter where they outscored the U.S. women 33-10. “It kind of broke the game open,” said veteran guard and Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Christie Ayers. The U.S. (1-2) didn’t back down. The U.S. players played a much tougher second half, finally connecting on 6 of 8 three-pointers in the second half. And despite facing the imposing Chinese who also had speedy wings, the U.S. committed only 8 turnovers. Dale led the U.S. women with 12 points while Charmaine Clark had 11 points and 7 rebounds. “The way those ladies played tonight, I’m very proud of them,” said Parker, despite the final score of 119-71. “They could have quit on us.… they could have quit on each other,” he said. “They didn’t; they fought to the last minute.” The U.S. women dropped two of their first three contests in the tournament, struggling to create quality shots on the perimeter, a noted strength heading into the tournament. After edging France 67-65 in their opener, the U.S. dropped a tough 68-56 loss to Brazil where the USA players also held an early lead. Heading into the World Games, the U.S. boasted perhaps its top outside shooting lineup. Veteran guard Christie Ayers said the team looked to achieve a more balanced attack, as Cromartie and Danica Adams have had some success scoring in the paint. The U.S. connected on only 4 of 15 threepoint shots vs Brazil though, and in the first half vs China only managed 1 of 9. Army Capt. Taylor Alton leads the U.S. women in three-point shooting. “I feel like we’ve played hard,” Ayers said. “We’ve stuck together. We saw the chance to walk away with a medal, so we’re not going to give up from here. We’re just going to try to continue to execute and stay focused.”

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Anyone angling to catch a fish at the Air Force Academy will pay more next year, as permit costs go up Jan. 1. Fishing permit fees for the Academy include the Farish Recreation Area. “The fishing fee structure will be $22 for an annual permit, a $1 increase; $8 for a oneday permit, a 75-cent increase; and $6 for a second rod permit, a $1 increase,” said Brian Mihlbachler, 10th Civil Engineer Squadron natural resources manager. Mihlbachler said the increase is needed to keep pace with inflation and the escalating cost of hatchery fish. The last fee increase was in 2005, he said. “The Academy’s fishing program must operate on a cost-reimbursable basis through permit sales as taxpayer dollars
are not used to support the program,” Mihlbachler said. The Natural Resources staff stocks the lakes at the Academy and Farish Recreational Area with nearly 14,000 pounds of trout, April through September. They occasionally stock the lakes at the Academy with catfish. A state of Colorado license is not required to fish on USAFA or Farish. Annual permits and second-rod permits at the Academy are valid each calendar year. “Fishing on USAFA is only available to active duty military, retired military, Defense Department civilians and their sponsored guests, so it’s an exceptional value and significantly less expensive than Colorado fishing licenses,” Mihlbacher said.

Amanda Parr, 45th Range Squadron range operations commander, the 45th SW provided the same type of support for the Pegasus that it would for any rocket launching from a pad. “We made sure we had fair weather conditions and positive control over the launch vehicle at all times,” said Parr. “We also kept track of the surveillance area around the
Eastern Range so that the public, the vehicle, the satellite and our team stayed safe during the launch of the rocket.” Northrup Grumman’s Pegasus XL rocket carried NASA’s Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) satellite into orbit to study the Earth’s ionosphere. The ionosphere, which lies approximately 55 to 621 miles above the Earth’s surface, is the layer of Earth’s atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. Meaning,
the ionosphere not only plays an important role with electricity production in the atmosphere, but a practical role as well, because it influences radio wave deliverance to distant places on Earth. From touchdown of the L-1011 aircraft to liftoff and launch of the Pegasus ICON, the 45th SW is dedicated to maintaining its record of delivering assured access of space to the Nation – steering the spaceport of the future even closer to its Drive to 48 launches a year.

Safe from sound? AFRL experts collect data inside hardened aircraft shelters around the world

Driesen, with the Royal Netherlands Air Force; Richard McKinley, with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (now retired); and Theo van Veen, with the Netherlands Aerospace Centre, stand in front of the F-35 used during an acoustics testing session, led by experts in AFRL’s 711th Human Performance Wing.
By Gina Marie Giardina | AIR FORCE RESEARCH LABORATORY WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — Acoustics researchers in the Air Force Research Laboratory’s 711th Human Performance Wing are collecting and delivering acoustics data from hardened aircraft shelters around the world—data that customers can then use to certify that F-35 fast-jet airframes and the personnel working inside are safe. Hardened aircraft shelters are reinforced hangars that store and protect military fighter aircraft. Many of these shelters are in Europe and date back to the Cold War. The earlier shelters were three to six feet thick, but during World War II, stronger, thicker shelters were built to protect German U-boats, explained John Stillion in his article Fighting Under Missile Attack. These shelters today, with their differences in wall thickness as well as their diverse shapes and sizes, still provide a hiding place for fighter aircraft. They still provide protection for personnel inside to perform necessary maintenance. But the next-gen fighters like the F-35 have very different sound profiles. This creates the need for acoustics testing to ensure safety of the aircraft and crew. “These hardened aircraft shelters, or HAS, are very common in Europe,” explained Dr. Alan Wall, a physical acoustics researcher with the 711HPW. “Before crews can perform any engine run-ups, maintenance operations or load weapons—before the F-35 can taxi out and take off, there is a need to certify that the personnel working on or around that aircraft inside these shelters are provided the recommended hearing protection. Also, crews have to ensure that the sound vibrations inside the shelter that are bouncing all around are not going to damage the aircraft itself.” The team’s first foray into this work came from a request back in 2016 from the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The 711HPW acoustics team, led by Wall and now-retired Rich McKinley, traveled to the allied country to help. After about a week of gathering data and a year of analysis, the team delivered its final report, and the country completed its HAS certifications. But that work attracted attention. Other countries, including the U.S., are reaching out to AFRL for help with additional acoustics testing and analyses of HAS for their certifications for next-gen fighters. “The requests are coming from high-level leadership, who

need their F-35s to be able to operate when they arrive at these various air bases, so they are asking for our help." Wall went on to explain that there are a number of stakeholders involved in the process of collecting the necessary data that will then be used for certification. While Wall’s team gathered acoustics data, other international partners gathered air quality and other data. “There are structural engineers, who need our data to make decisions about if the F-35 is safe to fly after it’s been worked on in a hardened aircraft shelter. There are safety and occupational health experts, who need this data to determine if personnel working inside the shelters have proper hearing protection and safe breathing air. There are base operations specialists, who need to be able to execute missions inside these shelters. They let us know what they plan to do inside, and that tells us what to measure.” Also, similar to sound inside different stadiums or playhouses, there are many variables, including wall thickness mentioned earlier, that come in to play with the sounds inside these shelters. “From one shelter to the next, the noise levels can vary,” explained Wall. “This has to do with the geometry of the shelter; the composition of the walls, ceiling, floors; and perhaps the most critical—the interaction with the jet itself to what’s called the jet-blast deflector, a concrete structure at the back of the shelter that takes the flow off the jet engine and diverts it away from the shelter.” And to complicate matters, not only is every shelter different, but there are no guidelines, no manuals. “There’s no standard—no set way of doing this,” said Wall. “Now we have experience gathering this for the Netherlands, and we worked with the Navy in their enclosed shelters called hush houses—so we’re working to leverage that experience as we receive additional requests for data.” So how exactly are these measurements recorded? “We go to the site, bring an F-35 with us to park inside the shelter, and we cover the aircraft with microphones,” Wall said. “These microphones are acoustics sensors directly on the panels, or skin, of the aircraft. They could be in 30 different locations – wherever the structural experts tell us that the acoustic pressures can’t exceed a certain level. Then the aircraft is run up from low engine powers, and the acoustic data is recorded in real time—evaluated on the spot.”
Wall went on to explain that this real-time evaluation is a team effort where they predict the acoustics levels in stages of engine run-up. “We all work together and ask ‘okay, so do we think the next point is going to exceed those criteria’—and if not, we keep increasing the engine power at various increments until we predict we’re going to exceed it. The structural folks, who tell us the criteria, are the authority though, and make those decisions—if the levels are going to be safe for the aircraft or not.” “In the end, we take all that data that we gathered from the microphones, clean it up and do the statistics, and turn it into a full report. The customer can then use this official document for their certification processes. The F-35 structural experts sign off on it. Whoever the aircraft owner is – so in the Netherlands, the Royal Air Force in our first data collection – they sign off on it. Once the report is signed, the customer has to go through a follow-on process to certify aircraft for operational use in that shelter.” "So essentially, we measure and provide all the data to the requesting organization or country, and then they take that information and go make decisions—‘Yes, we can do these things inside the shelter, or no, these things we can not do.’ And those answers are going to be different for each type of shelter,” Wall said. Wall explained that his team is working towards a solution to these differing shelters and their wide array of sound profiles. Not only is the work for each request time consuming, it requires a great deal of manpower. It’s also expensive. While the team gathers data for their customers, they are also collecting data that they can leverage for a future modeling and simulation effort in hopes that in a few years, they won’t have to travel to and measure every shelter. “Our goal is to be able to predict the answers based off information about the HAS that can be sent to us, which equates to a large long-term cost saver for the Department of Defense and each Partner and Foreign Military Sales country receiving the F-35.” So not only is this AFRL team keeping F-35s and their pilots safe from sound, they are also developing the measurement standards so they can deliver HAS acoustics data smarter, cheaper and faster for future customers.

Since its inception in September 2017, the Spark Tank competition has been a high-profile, public forum that celebrates the innovations of Airmen while identifying avenues to increase lethality and cost-effective modernization, pushing boundaries to pursue future technologies and recognizing problems and creative solutions.
By Dan Hawkins | AIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Ideas to transform space warfighting training and to best build a culture of innovation were named Air Education and Training Command Spark Tank 2020 Challenge winners Oct. 31, 2019. The 381st Training Group’s idea to transform low-fidelity training into a student-centered, solid foundation for space warfighters along with Air University’s “Give Makers Space” idea that enables creative, innovative Airmen to devise solutions in a dedicated makerspace by providing physical space in which to work were the two ideas that came out on top. “This year’s competition was intense,” said Maj. Gen. Mark Weatherington, AETC deputy commander. “Every entry was well thought-out and illustrates the expertise we have across the First Command to develop innovative solutions and improve our overall efficiency.” The two teams earned $2,500 from the Airmen Powered by Innovation (API) program and will also represent AETC at the next level of the Spark Tank 2020 competition. The “Enhancing Warfighting Innovation through Software Training” project was developed by Capt. Alex Hartenburg and Capt. Perry Van Zandt, instructors with the 533rd Training Squadron, part of the 381st TRG at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. “The project addresses one of the gaps in tactical space operations that space operators are not taught, nor do they typically possess, which are the skills required to use
programming software to script and produce the models necessary to plan, critically think, and problem solve for space-based engagements,” said Sean Harrington, AETC innovation office. Created by Maj. Spenser Lee at Air University, the “Give Makers Space” idea encourages ingenuity and creativity in every Airman, by creating physical space to ideate, develop and iterate creative endeavors. It also outlines the need to develop policies to guarantee Airmen the time and space to express that creativity, as well as ways to encourage commanders to promote and reward Airmen to tackle everyday challenges. “The makerspace promotes the sharing of design experience and opportunities to Airmen,” Harrington said. Makerspaces provide creative tools including 3D printers, 3D scanners, measuring equipment, high-performance computers, design software, white boards, feedstock, and associated hand tools. The pilot program for “Give Makers Space” is a research initiative at Squadron Officer School (SOS) called “AF Maker” and is conducted under the AU Advanced Research Elective. Since its inception in September 2017, the Spark Tank competition has been a high-profile, public forum that celebrates the innovations of Airmen while identifying avenues to increase lethality and cost-effective modernization, pushing boundaries to pursue future technologies and recognizing problems and creative solutions.
