Colorado Reserve wing earns AF Outstanding Unit Award

By Staff Sgt. Frank Casciotta 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 302nd Airlift Wing was recognized as an Air Force Outstanding Unit and is among 18 Reserve units that earned an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for exceptional performance in 2015.

Topping the compliment of achievements by the Peterson-based wing, the Reserve Citizen Airmen of the 302nd AW distinguished themselves in 2015 by earning the Lt. Gen. James E. Sherrard III Award, naming them the Air Force Reserve’s Outstanding Air Mobility Wing in 2015. The award is presented annually by the Airlift/ Tanker Association and recognizes a Reserve wing that is making significant contributions to the overall success of the Mobility Air Force mission and total force. Airmen here were specifically recognized for their role in delivering two C-130 Hercules aircraft to Afghanistan for the U.S. State Department and instructing the Afghan Air Force members on C-130 operations.

Notably, alongside earning the Sherrard award, the 302nd Operations Group maintained high-tempo operations generating more than 8,000 flying hours, completing nearly 4,000 C-130 sorties and assisting the U.S. Forest Service in fighting more than 15 national wildfires where 302nd AW Airmen dropped 379,000 gallons of fire retardant.

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo. — Steve Lemme, actor and comedian, best known for his role as ‘Mac’ in the movie Super Troopers, visited Airmen of Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado, and toured the complex, June 2, 2017.

Lemme, a Colorado Springs native and a graduate of Cheyenne Mountain High School, flew in town for a high school reunion. He decided to reunite with old friends and visit a part of Colorado Springs that was shrouded in mystery for him and his friends growing up, he said.

“We always wondered,” said Lemme. “We could see the mountain (Cheyenne Mountain AFS) from our school and there were so many myths and legends surrounding the mountain that we always wanted to see what it was all about.”

Summer safety

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — I know. You’re probably thinking something like, “Oh, great. Another summer safety brief.

Bo-ring. I’ll just skip on by and see if there’s anything else worth reading in the paper.”

Right? Come on, admit it…you know you don’t want to hear, again, about all the things you need to do to be safe this summer. “I get it”, you say to yourself as you audibly roll your eyes. “I’ll wear my seatbelt, hydrate, use sunscreen and won’t drink and drive. Boom.

Just gave myself a safety brief.”

To that, I say: nice work! You’re right, you should make sure to do all of those things.

It’d be a boneheaded move to do otherwise. But, I’ll bet there are a few things you haven’t considered, especially if you’re new to Colorado. For example, did you know you can ward off a Mountain Lion simply by wearing Axe Body Spray? It’s true. Sort of.

Okay…it’s not true. But it feels like it should be true. I mean, who wears that stuff?

Anyway, there really are some things you should think about as you go out to enjoy this beautiful state. And though Axe isn’t one of them, here are a few tips that are legit.

Seriously.

Lt. Col. Paul Contoveros 21st Space Wing Safety Hiking. Do it! But for goodness sake, don’t hike alone. And if you must, make sure you tell someone where you’re going. In fact, even if you are hiking with a partner, tell someone else where you plan to hike. I’m not kidding.

Do you have any idea how many people get lost or injured while hiking in Colorado?

It’s a lot. I don’t have the exact numbers, but it’s got to be like 250 million a year. Or something like that. Anyway, if you want to have any chance of being rescued should an accident happen, you’ve got to tell someone where you’re going and the route you’re taking! Next, and I know you’re not going to believe this, you need to pack warm, dry clothes. The weather changes its mind more

often than the Browns change quarterbacks.

It could be sunny and delightful one minute and then the monsoon kicks in — before you know it the temperature has dropped 20 degrees, it’s raining, it’s hailing, and lightning is striking. Bring the right gear. And just a hint: when you see dark clouds rolling in, get off the mountain or seek shelter (not under a tall pine tree/lightning rod) as fast as your legs will take you. Please.

Motorcycles. Two wheel death traps, if you ask me. But my cool friends tell me I’m lame and biking is awesome. I’ll have to take them at their word; so, rather than trying to convince you not to get on one of those things, allow me to spread some wisdom.

First, wear your protective gear. I have to say it. I’m the Chief of Safety. I think it’s in the Constitution or something. Next, be aware of loose gravel on the roads, especially on corners. You see, instead of throwing down salt to melt ice during the winter (like any normal state would do), Colorado spreads gravel all over the roads. It’s like they want you bikers to spill. So for goodness sake, keep your eyes on the road, slow down on curves, and heads-up at intersections. Finally, keep

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.

Tech Your Way to the Top. Stand out from the crowd with a top-ranked computer information systems degree. Whether a seasoned technical

your head on a swivel for potholes. They will swallow you whole and you’ll never be seen again. For true. In fact, I’m pretty sure some potholes are gateways to alternate dimensions. Steer clear.

High risk activities. When you reach my age that means walking down the stairs with a plate full of food. But for you youngsters and thrill seekers out there, I know you’re going to want to jump out of airplanes, scramble the boulders of the back country, test your mettle against the Alpha Warrior rig and heaven knows what else. If you are so inclined, I ask that you please, please remind yourself that gravity is the law. Also: be prepared; wear the right gear; get familiar with the location/equipment prior to partaking; let you supervisor know what you’re up to.

And if you have any doubts as to whether you have the ability to do the crazy thing you’re about to do…stop! Are you nuts? Don’t do it!

We need you. Honestly, we really do.

With that, let me just say that I’m wishing you a happy and safe summer. Colorado is amazing. Take advantage of it. If there’s anything the Safety Office can do to help, just holla.

being repaired. TVC’s insurance covered all of the destruction.

The enforcement of the housing resident’s guide, maintenance response time, maintenance of a home when someone moves out and environment compliance are just some of the areas the HMO monitors.

“We monitor TVC’s compliance to the closing documents of that agreement. We evaluate TVC’s performance on a quarterly basis and report directly to the 21st Space Wing commander as well as Air Force Civil Engineer Center at Joint Base San Antonio-

Lackland, Texas,” said Mariann Padgett, 21 CES Housing Management chief.

Another important role of HMO is to work with residents to resolve concerns and issues. If a resident has concerns and needs additional help, they can contact the HMO for mediation and resolution. That works in reverse as well. If a resident is not responding to TVC, the HMO will get involved.

“We get approximately 700 referrals a year and they must meet five specific criteria,” said Padgett.

“Applicants must submit orders, sex offender AF form 4422, rank, family size to determine if they need a three or fourbedroom home, and when they would be eligible to move in,” Padgett said. “TVC is such a popular housing development that there’s always a waiting list.”

HMO gets referrals from the U.S. Air Force Academy, Schriever AFB, Fort Carson and Peterson AFB with eligibility depending on rank and the type of housing required.

HMO provides assistance to military living off base by advising and analyzing rental agreements as well as providing landlord and resident mediation. They also review what’s been posted on Homes.mil to ensure what’s been posted for rent is appropriate for housing in Colorado Springs. They also monitor and provide regional rental rates to the Air Force for development of the Basic Assistance for Housing for this region.

For more information on TVC housing contact the Housing Management Office at 719-556-4777, 719-556-7947 or 719-556-4332.

How the human body reacts while running Aerospace and Operational Physiology

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Do you ever wonder how your body physiologically responds to an exercise such as running? In order for our muscles, cells and organs to work properly our blood must first carry oxygen and nutrients to them. During intense physical activity, the body’s blood flows to our larger muscle groups, which are generally working the hardest.

The largest muscle in our body, the gluteus maximus, is heavily used while running but rarely used while walking according to the New York Times. Our muscles must have glucose and oxygen to create a molecule called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is our body’s energy currency.

The heart starts beating faster in response to the increased demand for oxygen. Frequent exercise increases the amount of blood it can pump with each beat. This is one reason why those who engage in regular exercise have been found to have lower heart rates than people who are sedentary.

Were humans built to run?

According to conventional wisdom, running longer distances adds extra strain to our bodies, especially our joints.

However, according to Christopher McDougall, author of “Born to Run”, running isn’t inherently risky. Mr. McDougall argues that overzealous training combined with poor running form and high-tech shoes are the main sources of injuries.

Running in high tech shoes can change the bio-mechanics of running which increases the chance of injury. Scientific evidence points to the notion that humans evolved to be runners.

Humans have a great cooling system with many sweat glands but little body hair which allows us to stay cool at higher speeds and longer distances by sweating unlike some other animals that pant and would overheat.

When it comes to distances, humans can outrun almost any animal. Every year in the small Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells, this notion is put to the test at the annual Man Vs Horse Marathon which began in June, 1980. Each year the races have been close, with the horse winning sometimes only by a few seconds. However, in 2014 a man won and proved that humans can outlast a horse over the course of 26.2 miles. Huw Lobb won in two hours and five minutes, beating the fastest horse by two minutes.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Members of the 21st Space Wing participate in a special Wing Warfit run dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., Jan. 17, 2017. Wing Warfit is a monthly run conducted to raise morale and build esprit de corps in the wing.

Complications of distance running

If you’re planning on running a marathon anytime soon, keep in mind there is no substitution for preparation.

The average marathon runner will take between 30,000 and 50,000 steps, each of which puts a stress three to four times your body weight on your knees, hips, lower back and ankles. Other factors that could lead to injury include: illness during the weeks prior to running, medication and participation in other sports.

Another risk while running for a great amount of time is hyperthermia, a condition of dangerously overheating.

High temperature and levels of humidity can make heat loss more difficult and the body can overheat.

Dehydration can also lead to a lack of heat transfer from the muscles to the skin, worsening the situation. In 2001, a 22 year old man collapsed within 300 yards of finishing the Chicago Marathon and later died with a 107° Fahrenheit internal temperature while the outside air temperature was only in the 50s.

Some key elements to reduce the risk of injury while running are: eating a well-balanced diet, getting an adequate amount of sleep, keeping life stresses to a minimum and training properly for distance running.

Running great distances is both a testament to the endurance of the human body and one of the most popular forms of exercise.

13th ASOS receives new commander

By Dani Johnson Fort Carson Public Affairs Office

FORT CARSON, Colo. — The Air Force’s 13th Air Support Operations Squadron at Fort Carson, Colorado, held a change of command ceremony, May 30, at Founders Field.

Lt. Col. Jeffrey P. Strange assumed command of the squadron from Lt. Col. John W. Blocher during the ceremony officiated by Col. Aaron Ullman, commander, 3rd Air Support Operations Group, Fort Hood, Texas.

“The hardest decision I have to make is who I pick to lead a squadron,” said Ullman. “I would be lying if I said I was truly exciting to see ‘Coke’ (Blocher) leave. He took on projects and transformed the way we organize, train and equip our units.”

Unofficially known as the “Gunslingers” (a nickname given by the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment), the joint terminal attack controllers of the 13th ASOS provide close air support to the 4th Infantry Division and its subordinate brigades. The mission of the 13th ASOS is to enhance the joint warfighter team by providing combat mission ready Airmen to advise, integrate and control Air and Space Power.

“I know ‘Miso’ (Strange) will bring great ideas to the team and will continue to improve on its successes,” Ullman said.

“He has the strength of character to handle a geographically separated unit and to prepare the men and women of the 13th ASOS to go to war.”

Strange’s most recent assignment was the director of operations, 13th ASOS. A 2001 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and a career pilot, he has 2,800 hours in the B-1B Lancer bomber including more than 1,700 combat hours.

He has served as a flight lead, instructor pilot and air liaison officer. Strange has deployed multiple times in support of operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and Inherent Resolve.

“I’ve gotten a lot of advice on leading millennials and the one thing I know is they want to know ‘what is in it for me,’” the new commander said. “Airpower with ground is a critical advantage to our military. We need that air-ground integration.”

“I’m humbled and excited about this opportunity,” Strange said. “We will continue to guide on a powerful upward vector.”

FORT CARSON, Colo. — Lt. Col. Jeffrey P. Strange accepts the 13th Air Support Operations Squadron guidon from Col. Aaron Ullman, commander, 3rd Air Support Operations Group, Fort Hood, Texas, during a change of command ceremony at Founders Field, May 30, 2017, Fort Carson, Colo.

Strange assumes command the squadron after Lt. Col. John W. Blocher relinquished it.

Blocher assumed command of the squadron July 2, 2015.

He quickly initiated a complete overhaul of squadron readiness procedures, coming into compliance with the unit’s Designed Operational Capability Statement and posturing the squadron for rapid deployment in support of the 4th Inf. Div. He upheld standards and initiated participation in such training events as Red Flag-Alaska, U.S. Air Force Weapons School live-fire exercises at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, and most recently, the Gunslinger Challenge on post to show the unit’s most capable Joint Terminal Attack

dozens heading overseas in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve where the combined 302nd AW Reserve force totaled up over 2,000 days of support.

Cost-effectiveness is another aspect of the wing that was recognized by the Outstanding Unit Award. Deployed Air Force reservists assigned to the 302nd Civil Engineer Squadron contributed to innovations in airfield lighting and hangar projects saving the Air Force thousands of dollars and valuable time. Also, resulting from the deployment of Reserve Security Forces members, the Department

of Defense was able to ensure completion of nearly 700 cargo missions valuing $2 billion worth of assets.

“The outstanding accomplishments recognized in this award touch on every area within the wing,” said Col. James DeVere, who took command of the 302nd AW in April, 2016. “Innovation, experience and dedication by our operations, maintenance, and support Airmen is what led to this award.

In addition to operational achievements, wing members pushed themselves on personal academic achievement. More than 75 enlisted Reserve Citizen Airmen earned their Community College of the Air Force Degrees during the award period.

The wing has a consistent history of excellence receiving the AFOUA for the award periods of 1990-1991; 1998-1999; 2001-2002; 2004-2006; 2006-2008; 20092011; and most recently in 2015.

9 Tips for Healthy Parenting During a Move Military One Source

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — If moving has you at your wits end, imagine how your kids feel.

Like adults, kids can get over-stressed. But, you can do a lot to ease the transition for them, which will make the move a lot more pleasant for everyone.

• Give your kids the facts. Have an age-appropriate conversation with your kids about the specifics of the move and what they can expect.

• Let them have a job. Give your children a special role in the move, depending on their ages. Younger kids can pack snacks or take care of the pet, for example, while older children can help plan the drive. Having an important job gives them something besides their stress to focus on.

• Bring Teddy. Especially for the really little ones, a favorite toy or blanket will help ease the anxiety when your kids are in an unfamiliar situation.

• Keep smiling. Children look to you for clues as to how to react in different situations. Your positive attitude will go a long way toward keeping their stress levels low.

• Let it slide. Tantrums, sulking or extra-special grumpiness may all be related to the stress of the move.

Understanding where these behaviors are coming from might make it a little easier for you to stay calm and maybe let a grumpy word or two slide.

• Encourage your kids to express themselves. Get your children talking about the move. Maybe your kids express themselves best through imaginative play or drawing. No matter how they communicate, make sure your children know you’re there to talk and answer their questions.

• Stick to your routines. Routines give a child a sense of security and stability. Keep having those family dinners or your Sunday morning pancake breakfast. When it’s not possible, remind your child that once you are settled in your new home, things will go back to normal.

• Have fun. Plan breaks so your children have something to look forward to each day.

• Celebrate your new home. Organize something fun to do when you arrive at your new place. Have a picnic in your living room, complete with cake and candles, to celebrate your first meal at home. Help your children create great first memories of their new home.

Manage your next move and knock stress out of the picture by checking out all of the information and resources available through Military OneSource.

Application window opens for enlisted RPA pilot selection board

By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Airmen interested in becoming enlisted remotely piloted aircraft pilots have until Nov. 15, 2017, to submit completed application packages, including physical exams, to the Air Force Personnel Center.

Applicants may be staff sergeants through senior master sergeants in any Air Force specialty code who are not receiving a Critical Skills Retention Bonus.

In order to apply, Airmen require six years retainability from the course graduation date or the ability to obtain it.

The complete application package includes an Air Force initial flying class II physical examination plus a pilot qualification test, which is key in measuring aptitude for success in RPA pilot training.

“The selection board process mirrors that of the undergraduate flying training program as closely as possible,” said Senior Master Sgt. Colin Fleck, the career enlisted aviator assignments manager. “The board uses the ‘whole person’ concept to evaluate candidates.”

Candidates will be evaluated based on their entire military personnel record and pilot candidate selection method, or PCSM, test score. The average PCSM score for those selected by the inaugural board in

February was 73, with overall select scores ranging from 55 to 96.

Airmen who have already amassed offduty flying hours are also able to apply the experience toward their PCSM, which Fleck said is the same scoring system used to select Air Force officer pilots.

Expanding opportunities in the RPA pilot program is one of many ways the Air Force is tapping into the talent of its skilled, diverse and innovative enlisted force as a part of the deliberate approach to enhance the Air Force’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission. The Air Force plans for the number of enlisted RPA pilots to grow to 100 within four years.

“The Enlisted RPA pilot program makes

the most of the capabilities of our enlisted force to provide options that build a more agile ISR force in the future, placing highly capable enlisted forces in a position to support the future threat environment,” Fleck said.

The Enlisted RPA Pilot Selection Board will convene in January 2018 to fill training slots for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.

For more information on the enlisted RPA pilot selection process, visit the active duty enlisted retraining or assignments pages on myPers, or select “Active Duty Enlisted” from the dropdown menu and search “Enlisted RPA.” For more information about Air Force personnel programs, go to myPers.

Enlisted promotion process demystified

By Alethea Smock 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Master Sgt. Gerald Morey, Wing Staff Agency first sergeant, hosted a lunch-n-learn seminar for 21st Space Wing personnel to discuss the enlisted force distribution process May 19 at the Mission Support Group building, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

The speakers included Col. Eric Dorminey, 21st Space Wing vice commander and Staff Sgt. Catherine Sanchez, 21st Space Wing Force Management NCO in charge, to talk about the process for putting eligible promotees forward for a promotion rating.

A group of roughly 20 Airmen filled the room and ate pizza while Sanchez discussed the Enlisted Force Distribution Panel, identifying eligibility and what to include in the promotion packages.

Although the factors that go into determining eligibility promotion can be found in Air Force Instruction 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, Sanchez broke down the process into more easily understood directions.

She also described how she ensures packages for promotion are eligible. Sanchez will review each one for compliance with the AFI and to assure they do not contain promotion statements. Then each record is reviewed for errors to check that bullets conform to AFI expectations.

From there the record gets passed to Dorminey who sits on the EFDP where the record is reviewed and given a ranking for promotion such as ‘promote now’ or ‘promote’. The EFDP is made up of a group of members to select records to move forward for promotion.

“I want you to understand what goes on in the room and be completely transparent,” said Dorminey in describing the EFDP. “As opposed to smoke and mirrors, you get the dice out, or flip a coin, and ‘good luck’. It’s not that way.”

Before starting he wanted to make sure that everyone heard the message about getting good, pointed feedback.

All Airmen should be getting feedback throughout the year.

This is critical when going out to perform your job.

“Then go do your job,” Dorminey emphasized.

By the time a record lands at the EFDP the performance must stand on its own against other Airmen who are also promotion eligible.

Another point Dorminey made was described how he views promotions.

“A promotion is not a reward. It is an expectation,” Dorminey said. “Does the member have the proven ability

(U.S. Air Force photo by Alethea Smock)

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Eric Dorminey, 21st Space Wing vice commander, gives Airmen his top priorities when reviewing packages for promotion under the new Enlisted Force Distribution Process at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., May 19, 2017. Over 20 Airmen came to a lunch-n-learn seminar to become better leaders for their organization. to serve in the next higher grade. That’s what I’m looking for.”

Morey selects topics for discussion by some of the questions he receives from the Airmen he leads.

“The EFDP is a fairly new process and many Airmen are unaware on how it works. So having Col Dorminey explaining to supervisors and rates what his expectations are is valuable to everyone,” said Morey. “If an Airman does the things he [Dorminey] highlighted, they most likely will go to the panel, if they do not, they cannot blame anyone but themselves.”

Morey plans to continue the lunch-n-learn sessions and will have Tech. Sgt. Thomas Echelmeyer, Bioenvironmental Engineering NCO in charge , facilitate a Millenial Leadserhip course.

Millennial Leadership is described as a course designed for all generations to see what makes a millennial tick, what motivates them, and how to capture the natural talents and abilities of this generation to accomplish the mission.

The next session will be June 14th at 11:30 a.m. in building 350, room 1064.

‘Meow’ntain From page 1 Lemme and company were taken on a tour through the complex and were educated on the complex’s construction, history and saw firsthand how the Airmen of the 721st Mission Support Group maintain vigilance through the inner workings of America’s fortress.

“This is mind-blowing,” Lemme said. “I know we are just getting a look at the tip of the iceberg, but seeing on a basic level how the service members of the mountain keep Americans and allies safe, and the ways in which they are doing it, is really enlightening.”

Throughout the tour, Lemme stopped and interacted with Airmen and service members from all branches. He said the support he and his fellow comedy troop members receive from uniform wearing service members is unforgettable and unwavering.

“It’s crazy. When we first started making movies, essentially we were making them for ourselves — it’s just what made us laugh,” he said. “My dream was to just see a movie of mine in the theatre. A few years after that dream was realized on a larger scale, we started seeing that service members were a major fan base. We didn’t anticipate that.”

After learning that service members were a large demographic supporting his films, Lemme said he started to get fan mail that opened his eyes on the impact he and his comedy group was having on the welfare of the military overseas.

“People in uniform seemed to be affected the most by our movies,” said Lemme. “They told us that the laughter was helpful for their state of mind and their morale.”

“It’s a really beautiful thing knowing we are helping even if it’s in a small way. That’s why it’s important for me to come here to the mountain and gain a deeper appreciation and compassion for what is going on and how the Airmen, Soldiers, Marines and Sailors afford our freedoms.”

Lemme said he hopes to return to the Cheyenne Mountain complex in the future, but in the meantime will be working hard to keep the troops laughing.

Peterson enlisted reservists honored by local community

By Staff Sgt. Frank Casciotta 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— Two Reserve Citizen Airmen from the 302nd Airlift Wing were recognized by the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Corporation’s Military Affairs Council during the 2017 Armed Forces Week awards luncheon held May 15, 2017, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In the E-1 through E-4 category, Senior Airman Elliott Jones, a traditional Air Force reservist and emergency management specialist assigned to the 302nd Civil Engineer Squadron, arrived to the event as one of three junior enlisted award nominees and at the event, was announced the overall 2017 award winner for his category.

Master Sgt. Douglas Lemp, also a traditional Air Force reservist and air transportation specialist assigned to the Reserve wing’s 39th Aerial Port Squadron was one of six nominees in the E-5 through E-6 award category honored at the event.

The two Air Force Reserve nominees were among 14 service members the MAC considered the “best of the best” from local commands. This year’s award nominees represented enlisted service members from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Air Force Reserve, Colorado Army National Guard and Royal Canadian Navy assigned to organizations in the local area.

“As Air Force reservists, our members are accomplishing great things in both their civilian and military worlds,” said Chief Master Sgt. Vicki Robertson, 302nd Airlift Wing command chief, after the awards ceremony. “Seeing two of our enlisted members receive these honors and recognition in our local community has been outstanding and is a testament to the strength of our Air Force Reserve enlisted force and our members’ ability to successfully balance multiple demands.”

The event, which is held annually each Armed Forces Week, pays special tribute to enlisted forces who have sacrificed and served both their country and local communities.

Join spouse assignment consideration keeps mil-to-mil couples together

By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Summertime is a busy season for permanent changes of station and military couples may be apprehensive about the possibility of being separated from their spouses during their next assignments.

They have little to be concerned about, however, as the Air Force Personnel Center has an accommodation rate of more than 96 percent for mil-to-mil married couples through the assignment of military couples option, commonly known across the Air Force as a “join spouse” assignment.

With more than 27,000 active-duty Airmen (just under 10 percent of the activeduty Air Force) married to another activeduty Airman, and about 1,500 active-duty Airmen (just under half a percent) married

to an active-duty member of another military service, the placement rate for join spouse as of March 31, 2017, is 96.6 percent. When those on assignment to join their spouses, or those with approved retirement or separation dates are factored in, the placement rate goes to almost 98 percent.

A join spouse assignment allows legally married active-duty military couples the opportunity to be stationed together at the same installation. If positions are not available for both members at the same installation, they may be assigned to different installations within 50 miles of each other and maintain a joint residence.

“The Air Force will try to keep a military couple together,” said Cristi Bowes, who is a part of the Assignment Policy and Procedures section at the AFPC. “The most common hurdle to a join spouse assignment lies in meeting the eligibility requirements, so military couples do have a key role in the

success of this program.”

Married military couples are required to present their marriage certificate to their Military Personnel Section Customer Service Element to update their marital status in the Military Personnel Data System and Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System.

They also need to update their join spouse intent code and assignment preferences in the virtual Military Personnel Flight to indicate their intentions as a couple and whether or not they wish to be reassigned together.

“We want Airmen to remember that the join spouse intent code ensures join spouse consideration and takes priority over individual assignment preferences like base of preference,” Bowes said.

According to Bowes, individual assignment preferences would be considered, but the main consideration is to try and keep both Airmen together if they both desire it.

Airmen who marry while en route to dif-

ferent assignment locations are required to contact the nearest Air Force installation, MPS Customer Service Element, and submit an application letter for join spouse assignment consideration before arriving at their new duty locations.

“This allows AFPC to act upon the join spouse application and coordinate a change in assignment before the Airmen proceed to a new duty location,” Bowes said.

Otherwise, if the newly wed active-duty couple signs in to their new locations first, time-on-station requirements apply and they would be ineligible for join spouse consideration.

Additional information about join spouse assignment consideration can be found on myPers. Select “Any” from the dropdown menu and search “join spouse.”

For more information about Air Force personnel programs, go to myPers.

Peterson removes AFFF

(Top) PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Fire Station 1 on Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., stands empty as nearly all of the aqueous film forming foam containers are loaded up for disposal, April 19, 2017.

The last of the AFFF containers left Peterson AFB on June 2, 2017. The legacy AFFF from aircraft rescue firefighting vehicles was replaced with a newer formulated product containing significantly fewer perfluorooctanioc and perfluorooctanesulfonic acids, which are suspected of contaminating groundwater supplies in communities around the world where legacy AFFF was used.

(Right) PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A 21st Civil Engineer Squadron Airman uses a front-end loader to load a container filled with aqueous film forming foam effluence into the back of a truck at Fire Station 1 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., April 19, 2017 so it can be transported to an off base contractor for disposal.
