CHIEF’S DEVELOPMENT WEEK H H H H H

Chiefs mentor Airmen

By Senior Airman Dennis Hoffman 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 21st Space Wing Chief ’s Group hosted the Chief ’s Developmental Week filled with events focused on mentoring junior officers and enlisted personnel of all ranks at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, July 12-14, 2017.

The week kicked off with a speed mentoring session involving 10 local chief master sergeants along with Chief Master Sgt. Mark Bronson, 21st Space Wing command chief, and Chief Master Sgt. Craig Neri, 14th Air Force command chief. Senior NCOs from all career fields gathered for one-on-one face time.

Broken into 10 minute sections, the senior NCOs rotated between 10 chief master sergeants, allowing for a more personable conversation regarding the obstacles senior NCOs faced.

“As a chief, you have been in the service for a while and you have got a lot of knowledge and wisdom to pass down,” said Senior Master Sgt. Christopher Greene, Air Force Space Command Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory functional manager. “However, chiefs are usually sitting at the strategic level while the other SNCOs and NCOs are working on the tactical level and it can be hard to pass that learned knowledge down to them.

“When you can sit down with a chief and they impart that strategic knowledge to you at the tactical level, it really helps develop the big picture view of what’s going on — ultimately making your decisions more impactful.”

Commanders to have more say in developmental education opportunities Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON — Air Force officials recently announced changes to the nomination process for officer developmental education beginning with the results of the March 2017 Line of Air Force Major Board.

The March 2017 LAF Major’s Board results will be released publicly July 18, 2017, and will not include in-residence, developmental education selection or “select” status.

“The decision to separate school selection stemmed from inputs from the field and discussions with wing commanders about how we continue to improve joint warfighting excellence. This is about lethality. Winning in combat starts with

great leadership,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein.

Effective immediately, commanders will now nominate in-residence, DE selection based on individual performance.

“Our commanders know their people best, and must identify Airmen whose consistent high performance makes them best suited for these developmental opportunities,” said Goldfein. “This also continues Secretary Wilson’s and my emphasis on pushing decision authority back to commanders where it belongs.”

The new DE policy impacts in-residence DE nominations beginning in 2018 for academic year 2019 and beyond.

“This change offers all eligible officers See Opportunities page 4

Bring on the Revitalization PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— A few weeks ago, I took command of the 21st Security Forces Squadron. It is an incredible honor to lead such an extraordinary group of people. Prior to my arrival at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, I served as the Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein’s legislative advisor in Washington, D.C. In that position, I was able to personally witness the development of his three focus areas, one of which is revitalizing squadrons.

For over 15 years, the major focus on America’s armed forces has been on countering violent extremism. That necessity has resulted in considerable trades across many Air Force portfolios, especially our manpower accounts. Many tasks that were once completed by Airmen have been relegated to self-help links or checklists, however, security and law enforcement are two functions that are not easily automated. As a result, Security Forces — the Air Force’s largest enlisted career field — has had to bear an incredible deployment tempo, manpower shortages and long working hours. Goldfein’s focus on revitalizing squadrons could not come at a better time for my Defenders.

I recently sat down with one of my flight

Lt. Col. David Knight 21st Security Forces Squadron commander chiefs, let’s call her “Kelly.” Kelly’s day begins at 2:45 a.m. Her husband and four kids are still asleep, so she quietly showers and gets dressed. At 3:30 a.m., she leaves her home on U.S. Air Force Academy and commutes to Peterson AFB. She arrives at 4:15 a.m. and begins her pre-posting tasks while the rest of her flight begins arming up for duty. At 5 a.m., the flight is formed-up for guardmount; a formal roll-call where announcements are given and the day’s events are briefed.

Guardmount breaks at 5:30 a.m., and the Airmen are driven out to their posts — their home for the next 12 hours…no medical appointments, no personal errands, etc. — all the things I, and many of us, take for granted every day. There will be no easing into the

day either because in the next three hours, over 13,000 vehicles will traverse through Peterson AFB’s gates. With three gates and 17 base augmentees to manage, Kelly scrambles between each gate to ensure traffic flows as smoothly as possible.

The day presses on following the morning rush, and after 12 long hours, her relief arrives. She conducts a changeover and finishes up the day’s paperwork. By 6:15 p.m., her 14-hour day is complete and she races home. She arrives around 7 p.m., just in time to give her little ones a bath and read them a story. That single hour is all she will have with her kids today. At 8 p.m., she tucks them into bed, reheats her dinner, and crashes — sometimes too tired to take off her uniform.

She is exhausted in the truest sense of the word. And in six hours, she has to do it all over again.

As she walked me through her day, it broke my heart. As leaders, we try to promote balance — striving for symmetry with work, family, spiritual and personal needs. While we all understand there are going to be days when the job comes first, 14-hour days have become normal operations for the unit over the past three years. This leaves my Airmen

Action Line The 21st Space Wing maintains a commander's action line, a direct link to the 21st Space Wing commander. The wing commander encourages its use. Concerns should be addressed at the lowest possible level in the chain of command and elevated as necessary.

with very little time for family, pursuing education, volunteering, working out or personal time to just relax.

Needless to say, my number one priority is finding ways to provide balance for my Airmen. Until the manpower gains from Goldfein’s revitalization are realized, I have to take a hard look where we can gain some efficiencies. We recently reduced the hours at the North and East Gates to free up our manpower. While not a popular decision, we found the manpower required to keep those gates open into the evening was not worth the costs.

I appreciate and sympathize with the fact it is inconvenient to have to drive around to the West Gate after a commissary run or when returning to housing from an off-base trip, but I hope you will focus on the bigger picture. I want Kelly to see her kids today, and someday soon I’d like to hold my first commander’s call without having to call my Airmen in on their day off.

With this in mind, I thank you for your compassion and support for those who work very long hours to keep us all safe.

FURRY PARTNERS

Many small animals call Peterson home

By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Officially there are 53 mission partners located on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. If one looks closer, however, there may be hundreds more sharing the base with the Airmen of Team Pete.

Upon closer examination, fur and feather covered creatures also are taking advantage of the base grounds.

Rabbits, raccoons, geese and the occasional coyote can be seen on Peterson AFB. Sometimes the numbers of these animals, as well as their habits, can lead to them being classified as pests. When that happens plans are made to handle the issue.

“One of the biggest problems now is rabbits chewing through electric cabling,” said Staff Sgt. Tyler Terrell, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron pest control management.

Whether or not an animal is considered a pest is pretty simple he said. If it is outside an animal is typically considered to be part of nature. But once they get indoors they are pests.

Outdoor rabbits have reached pest classification on the base, said Terrell, because their numbers have swollen due to a lack of predators. He said there are hundreds of rabbits and the population is a concern. When rabbits chewed through cables for a traffic light on base, a plan to deal with the growing population was crafted and enacted in May.

Another animal with a rising population are skunks, said Terrell.

“They are increasing for some reason,” he said. “We trap them and release them off base, then hope they don’t find their way back.”

Once in a while he gets a call to deal with raccoons. Usually those calls are for removing them from a dumpster where they become trapped while foraging through the garbage he said.

Birds can also prove to be problematic around base, especially where aircraft are concerned. Doug Ekberg, wildlife biologist with the 21st Space Wing safety office and the United States Department of Agriculture, said there is a bird-related incident of some kind daily.

“We do a lot of population reduction and bird airstrike hazard management all around,” Ekberg said. “We mainly make sure land management is not conducive to expansion of (bird) populations.”

Birds as small as mourning doves can cause extensive, and expensive, damage to aircraft and their engines, he said.

Ekberg said he watches the habitat within the Federal Aviation Agency’s five-mile radius around airports. The area includes a number of ponds and lakes inside that area. He is concerned with water, grass height and other opportunities that would encourage wild birds to take up residence.

On Peterson AFB, Canada Geese are a regular problem, Ekberg said, especially on the Silver Spruce Golf Course and

Opportunities From page 1 a more transparent and equitable process toward which they can attend in-residence developmental education,” said Lt. Gen. Gina Grosso, the deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services.

Those previously identified as “selects” from a promotion board will retain their status until completion of their respective

intermediate or senior DE opportunity.

At this time, the number of IDE and SDE opportunities will not change, explained Grosso.

As grandfathered school selects rotate through IDE and SDE, senior raters will be provided the ability to nominate an increasingly higher percentage of eligible officers to the IDE/SDE Central Board. Previously, senior raters were limited to no more than 20 percent of candidates for IDE and 25 percent of candidates for SDE. “This changes the process by which we select our best based upon commanders’

assessment of officers’ sustained performance and their potential to lead in the complex global security environment we operate in,” said Goldfein.

Specific guidance on the future selection process will be sent to commanders no later than February 2018. Nominations for academic year 2019 and beyond will consider commander inputs, Air Force requirements and officers’ records of performance.

From page 3 the softball fields. He said a trained dog is used to haze and harass the birds, causing them to move off of the base.

Raptor populations, including hawks and eagles, around the base have been reduced as well, he said, mainly by limiting their prey, such as prairie dogs.

The occasional coyote or fox may turn up, but they don’t usually get onto the base, said Ekberg. There are outriggers under the ground along the base fence lines that prevent them digging under the fences and getting onto the base proper.

There are many mission partners on Peterson AFB, but many more than meet the eye can be found lurking in the grass and bushes if one looks close enough.

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. — The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center here will provide maintenance and sustainment capabilities for the Shared Early Warning System, located at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, through a $93 million small business contract.

AFLCMC-Hanscom selected Boecore, Inc., headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to fulfill this five-year effort required for the system often referred to as SEWS beginning in July 2017. The system provides uninterrupted reporting on potential adversary ballistic missile launches to allies who have a bilateral agreement in place with the United States.

“We have a network of sensors and clients dedicated to several unified combatant commands and nine foreign part-

ner nations, so the back-end servers and communication devices require flexible technical capabilities,” said Col. Todd Wiest, senior materiel leader for Strategic Warning and Surveillance Systems Division. “Small businesses are very agile and flexible.”

Following the speed mentoring session was an opportunity for Team Pete Airmen to engage in an open forum chief’s panel consisting of seven command chiefs. In attendance were Neri, Bronson, Chief Master Sgt. Harold “Buddy” Hutchison North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command chief, Chief Master Sgt. Brendan Criswell, AFSPC command chief, Chief Master Sgt. Robert Boyer, United States Air Force Academy command chief, Chief Master Sgt. Jason Tiek, 50th SW command chief and Chief Master Sgt.

“I have been in for 20 years and you rarely get this opportunity,” said Greene. “This is the first time I have seen this many chiefs, with all their years of experience, in the same room passing along what they can to Team Pete Airmen — this is pretty incredible.”

Airmen sat in 100 plus degree temperature for over an hour to listen and soak up all that they could from the chief master

sergeants. Topics ranged from deliberate development of Airmen to fitness standards to more personal moments and candid learning lessons each chief encountered in their years of service.

Adding to their already busy week, the chief master gergeants of Peterson AFB were at the entrance gates in the early morning hours on Thursday, July 13, to check IDs. “We are one team one fight,” said Greene.

“It’s always a unique experience to look up at the gate and see a chief smiling back at you and scanning your common access card. It makes you feel like you are in good hands leadership wise. It an early motivator in the morning.”

Capping off the week, the chief master sergeants held a golf tournament to increase morale while also offering another opportunity for Airmen to connect and develop through a unique mentoring session.

Although golfing with a chief master sergeant might not make a solid bullet for both enlisted or officer, it is still a moment that Airmen can carry with them as they progress through the ranks. Someday in the future, they themselves may be wearing that coveted rank on their arm imparting what they know to the Airmen who are to follow.

AF announces Enlisted Professional Military Education redesign

By Senior Master Sgt. Katherine Grabham Office of the Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force

WASHINGTON — Air Force officials announced major changes to the enlisted professional military education program July 18, 2017, via an initiative called Enlisted Professional Military Education for the 21st Century, or “EPME 21.”

A major initiative of EPME 21 is that time in service will no longer dictate an Airman’s EPME enrollment — Airmen will only be required to complete distance learning courses as a prerequisite to their resident attendance. This initiative is now in effect.

Also, the Air Force will transition to 100 percent resident EPME, allowing all active duty, Guard and reserve Airmen an opportunity to attend Airman Leadership School, the NCO and senior NCO academies prior to promotion.

The changes are a result of the 2017 EPME triennial review, said Chief Master Sgt. JoAnne Bass, the Chief of Air Force Enlisted Developmental Education at the Pentagon.

“The committee determined changes were needed to the existing EPME structure in order to align EPME with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s policy requiring rankbased educational opportunities,” Bass said. “This also enables all Airmen an opportunity to attend resident PME in order to truly leverage the educational experiences gained from instructors and peers.”

One of Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright’s three priorities is leadership — developing Airmen who are ready to lead. One of his objectives in this is to cement EPME changes and infuse agility into Air University processes to improve the ability to provide timely, updated content delivery.

“If this sounds familiar, it should. It was the staple of our EPME for almost 43 years before a recent change to a time in service model,” Wright said. “While this model was effective for some, we quickly found it didn’t meet the needs of all our Airmen, causing many NCOs to lose the opportunity to attend in residence at all.”

Rather than requiring Airmen to complete EPME at set times based on how long they’ve been in the Air Force, the new model transitions to a rank-based continuum of learning.

Removing the TIS determination “just makes sense,”

Wright said. “We must ensure timely, focused and operationally relevant training and educational solutions at all levels.

Providing Airmen with the appropriate PME at the right times in their career is a must. If we deliver it too soon, it’s not effective for where they are in their careers. If we deliver it too late, it’s not effective at all.”

Wright notes that the model provides Airmen greater flexibility and time, allowing them to focus their energies on the mission.

One of Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright’s three priorities is leadership — developing Airmen who are ready to lead.

“Commanders, superintendents, first sergeants and supervisors remain central to inspiring a culture of innovation, agility and excellence, while promoting a continuum of learning that spans an Airman’s career,” he said.

Airmen will not be notified from the Air Force Personnel Center or Air University on when to enroll themselves into distance learning, but must manually enroll themselves.

“This new EPME structure allows Airmen to decide the best timeframe to complete their distance learning,” Bass said. “They will have to complete the distance learning prior to being scheduled for the resident portion, but each Airman now has more flexibility as to when the right time is for them.”

Bass explained that distance learning provides students with basic competency development and the resident courses allow students to apply what they learned.

“It is necessary to complete both the distance learning and the resident courses to achieve development of the required competencies at the appropriate proficiency levels,” she said.

“We expect staff and master sergeants to complete their respective distance learning so when they become technical

and senior master sergeants, they are immediately eligible for resident attendance.”

Resident EPME is a promotion requirement — Airman Leadership School, NCO Academy, SNCO Academy and the Chief Leadership Course are required for promotion to E-5, E-7 and E-9, respectively.

Airmen who have previously completed NCO or SNCO distance learning courses under the previous policy and have not attended resident EPME, will still receive EPME credit and will not be required to attend the resident portion.

Additionally, those currently enrolled in NCO or SNCO distance learning courses may still complete the course and receive credit upon completion. Or, they may withdraw with no adverse actions and reenroll at a later date, prior to attending resident EPME. “This change clearly sends a signal that our senior leaders value deliberately developing our enlisted corps,” said Lt. Gen. Gina Grosso, the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services. “This is a positive move in the right direction, as we continue to develop the force and support our Airmen.”

Additionally, EPME 21 will institute a new requirement called Professional Development Unit that will capture diverse education, training and life experiences. This will allow the AF to capture those experiences. Each Airman will complete 24 PDUs per year with one PDU equaling approximately one hour of learning, which equates to three days of development in the span of a year.

Many activities that enlisted Airmen already do will count towards the 24 PDUs. Professional Enhancement Seminars, Senior Enlisted Joint PME, college classes and even earning professional certifications accumulate points. Many Airmen have already attended programs like Profession of Arms Center of Excellence or other major command courses. Additionally, Airmen actively plan and participate in Air Force, Joint and coalition exercises, gaining experience in warfighting activities ranging from aircraft generation, command and control and force protection. And finally, Airmen deploy and lead both small and large teams across our Combatant Command Areas of Responsibility. These all count.

Air Force rolls out phased retirement program for eligible civilians

By Richard Salomon Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Eligible Air Force civilian employees now have the option of working part time in a “semi-retired” status, according to new Air Force Instruction 36817, Civilian Phased Retirement Program.

The civilian phased-retirement program allows eligible full-time employees to request to work on a part-time basis and receive a portion of their retirement annuity. Under the program, phased retirees will work half the number of hours they worked as fulltime employees immediately prior to entering phased retirement.

“This program allows dedicated employees with decades of experience to pass on critical knowledge to our other employees in the

organization,” said Annette Castro, a human resource specialist at the Air Force Personnel Center. “It serves as a mentoring and training tool to ensure the next generation of civilians are prepared for success. Institutional knowledge is often difficult to replace.”

Participation is voluntary and requires the mutual consent of both the employee and the Air Force. To be eligible, employees should be employed on a full-time basis for at least three consecutive years before beginning the program. The phased retirement period is for one year with an option to extend for an additional year.

The rules for employees under the Federal Employees Retirement System differ slightly from those employees under the Civil Service Retirement System. Retirement-eligible employees under FERS will need to have at least 30 years of service and have reached the

Warning System From page 5 offer the government the promise of innovative ideas and lower costs.

SEWS serves U.S. Strategic Command and select geographic combatant commands. The nine partner nations are not identified for operational security reasons, but each has an interest in using SEWS to receive warning of possible missile strikes and be able to respond accordingly.

“A missile launch starts a timer,” said SEWS Project

minimum retirement age (between 55 and 57, depending on the birth year) or have at least 20 years of service and be at least 60 years old. Under CSRS, employees will need to have at least 30 years of service and be at least 55 years old or have at least 20 years of service and be at least 60 years old.

Under the guidelines, civilian employees in the phased retirement program remain in the same position authorization they were in prior to entering the program and should not be moved to an over-hire billet or to another authorization while in phased retirement. Hiring officials may hire an additional part-time employee to carry out the remaining 50 percent manning hours or a full-time, over-hire employee only if funding is available to support both the phased retiree’s part-time salary and the part-time/ full-time replacement.

Manager Capt. Frank Schiavone. “We’re working hard to provide the combatant commands and partner nations with as many extra seconds as possible so they can begin countermeasures, warn their populations, and protect themselves.”

When a potential missile launch is identified by a constellation of heat-detecting U.S. satellites, the information is shared immediately with the combatant commands and partner nations within the threatened area, while intelligence agencies work to verify and identify the specific threat. Military, civilian, and contractor personnel work around the clock at Peterson to ensure system integrity and maintain redundant communications systems. Each partner nation has multiple SEWS sites, which are constantly monitored.

Additionally, phased retirees will be required to mentor other employees for at least 20 percent of their working hours. Air Force organizations can establish mentoring guidelines to best suit their needs.

“Mentorship plays an important role in shaping our future leaders and for passing on knowledge to successive generations,” Castro said. “It’s an investment that requires time, effort and dedication.”

Civilian employees considering phased retirement are encouraged to fully research the program.

The new AFI can be found at Air Force e-Publishing. For more information, visit the myPers web site and search “Phased Retirement.” Individuals who do not have a myPers account can request one by following the instructions on the Air Force Personnel Center website.

SEWS originated in the early 1990s, though its history as a concept dates back much farther. Because some of the technology is more than 20 years old, each maintenance and sustainment contract includes upgrades to keep the system current. The SEWS team of 67 Airmen, government civilians, and contractors works directly with the communications equipment and computer servers to oversee the SEWS system.

“Improvements on the new contract will focus on the ability to receive new message formats and an extensive system architecture upgrade project to modernize the system,” said Schiavone. “The Combatant Commands and SEWS partners are relying on these future advancements to overcome the mounting threats around the world.”
