Suicide Prevention Month: There’s help for Airmen By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

(Courtesy graphic)

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — September is Suicide Prevention Month at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, and Tricare officials want beneficiaries to be aware of the importance of seeking help. Suicide prevention is the responsibility of everyone, from the newest trainee to the most senior Airman. “Suicidal behaviors are more common when there are risk factors and risk situations involved,” said Michel Cremeans, 21st Force Support Squadron violence prevention integrator. “Some risk factors we can help reduce and some we may not be able to control.” The best way to prevent suicide is to notice, then act on, the warning signs. For example, people may speak constantly about suicide or death or show signs of unhappiness. They might call or visit family or friends to say “goodbye” or give away personal possessions. They may have unusual mood swings or express wishing they had a way out. “Drug or alcohol abuse is another critical indicator that a person may be dealing with issues that could lead to self-harm,” said Creameans. In recent years the Air Force revised its suicide prevention strategy, focusing on culture, problem solving, overall fitness, resilience, and care for those in distress. Air Force leaders believe using a strength-based approach for suicide prevention may help Total Force Airmen (Active duty, Air Force Civilians, Reserve and Air National Guard) consider and pursue positive options instead of self-defeating behaviors.

September 2017 is Suicide Prevention Month at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Suicide prevention is the responsibility for Airmen at Team Pete from the newest trainee to the most senior Airman.

Peterson reserve wing deploys second MAFFS-equipped C-130 to Western U.S. 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Air Force Reserve Command’s 302nd Airlift Wing sent a second Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systemequipped C-130 to Fresno Air Tanker Base, California today to support ongoing aerial fire fighting efforts in the Western U.S. The Colorado Reserve wing has been supporting the U.S. Forest Service request for assistance with one MAFFS C-130 since July 30, 2017 in response to the U.S. Forest Service request for assistance, which began the federal activation of three MAFFS-equipped C-130s. “It’s been an active six weeks for our MAFFS crews and support personnel — our Air Force reservists are trained and ready to provide additional support. MAFFS 2 and its crew will contribute to the overall team efforts and work in support of fire suppression in the Western U.S.,” said Col. James DeVere, commander of the 302nd Airlift Wing. The U.S. Forest Service original request for assistance, which was made July 27, for three MAFFS-equipped C-130 Hercules aircraft remains unchanged. When the U.S. Forest Service requires surge aerial fighting support, and MAFFS is activated, the MAFFS Air Expeditionary Group command rotates support

Watching from atop the world

THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — Situated high above the Arctic Circle is a relic of the Cold War, a base many associate with an inhospitable climate, months of darkness, isolation, and a mission from a by-gone era. To others, like those of the 12th Space Warning Squadron, it is home, at least for a year. However, with increasing threats from potential adversaries old and new, the squadron’s mission to “execute flawless missile warning, missile defense, and space surveillance operations in order to deter aggression, secure space, and defend our nations and allies” is as equally important today as it was 50 years ago. Like our brethren before, the men and women of the 12th Space Warning Squadron, Canadians and Americans, stand atop the world serving as the watchful eye and our nations’ forward deterrent against aggression. Our deterrent, our shield, is the northernmost Upgraded Early Warning Radar and a group dedicated to winning today’s fight and preparing for tomorrow’s. While always attentive to the northern skies and the threats posed by would be adversaries, we are ever mindful of two dangers that as a remote unit in Greenland we face every day, the environment and isolation. Thule is one of the only one-year remote overseas assignments in Air Force Space Command and

few deliberate measures we take to check in with our fellow airmen. When weather permits, groups explore the countryside by going “Thule Tripping” often encountering arctic hare, foxes, and musk ox; or they take a step back in history and view the abandoned Nike missile site. The landscape is remarkable, but for the ultimate team-building experience, we hike up the 724-foot high Mt. Dundas, emplacing a stone with our name to remain for all time. Team Thule truly pulls together and epitomizes the Wingman Concept during Storm Season because despite this adversity we must maintain the watch and prepare for what is ahead. The past decade witnessed a titanic shift in geopolitics as those that would threaten North America and our allies developed and deployed advanced weaponry with renewed vigor. These threats to our terrestrial and space capabilities steer us away from assuming a loss of communications is solely due to weather or a power failure is because of a mechanical fault. We must include the possibility of a nefarious act in the equation as we prepare for what may be tomorrow’s fight. Additionally, with the prospect of an expanded mission set for the squadron and base, determining timely and cost-effective approaches to modernizing aging infrastructure and equipment becomes vital in achiev-

We grind through episodes of non-existent communications with the mainland, months away from families and loved ones, and irregular shipments of foodstuffs; all that combined with an unpredictably austere arctic environment… and winter is coming! September 15th marks the start of “Storm Season”; an eight-month period bringing winds exceeding 100 miles per hour, subzero temperatures, snow- and ice-covered roads, and dormitory lockdowns because it is too hazardous outside. During this term, maintaining personal morale and well-being takes on new meaning.

ing our nation’s objectives and maintaining our strategic foothold. Under the Space Mission Force construct, we begin to address these changes to the operational environment by implementing a program to better equip our personnel with training and education in areas such as radar and electrical power systems, satellite communications, intelligence, and other unique aspects critical to site operations. We then leverage that enhanced awareness to develop tactics, techniques, and procedures and test them through a routine of drills and exercises that help us hone our skills and discover deficiencies, develop corrective processes, and determine future requirements. Continually practicing and refining this approach prepares our unified team of space warfighters, Defenders, and support personnel for any contingency, ensuring we maintain site survivability, assure our allies, and deter our adversaries. This region can be one of the harshest on the planet, yet it possesses a splendor unlike any other and while our potential adversaries develop new capabilities and challenge us in new regions and domains, we stand to, gazing across the Greenlandic ice cap and into the depths of space always prepared, always vigilant. Who are we? We are the men and women of the 12th Space Warning Squadron, and we have the watch.

Three decades lived one day at a time By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — When Dottie Holmes retired from the Air Force as a chief master sergeant in 1979, she was the first woman to retire with 30 years totally in the Air Force, setting her apart from contemporaries who served as members of the Women’s Army Corps. Many things happened during Holmes’ three decades of service, but instead of focusing on the big events, she chose to take it one day, all 10,950 of them, at a time. “I just served it as it came, one day at a time” Holmes said. She didn’t intend to make a career for herself in the Air Force, it just unfolded that way. “I took it one enlistment at a time,” said Holmes. “I used to tease everyone that I would (reenlist) until something better came along. Nothing did, so here I sit.” She said she enjoyed the “whole nine yards” of her AF career. She worked for people who respected her and she wanted to prove she was worthy of the job at hand. “I made no excuses, I just did it,” Holmes said of her various assignments. “I knew my boss’s name was attached to whatever I did so I better straighten up and fly right.” One of the biggest changes during her time in the service was women being accepted into more career fields and not limited to what she called “soft service” jobs. “Women are generally accepted (now),” said Holmes. “To me you should not be restricted on a job based on sex. If you are qualified to do the job, you should be able to do it.” She said giving women the chance to perform different types of jobs presented an opportunity to prove they could do them. “Women have proven themselves worthy of their jobs,” she explained. “To me, the worst thing is to assume someone cannot do a job. You should be given

$26,488

the opportunity to fail on your own. Do not assume I am going to fail. (Women) don’t want anything handed to them.” She spent most of her time in personnel positions, but Holmes began as a flight chief. “That was including drills, because I had a big mouth,” she said. Holmes served in postings around the world, including a 1976 assignment to instruct the first women’s cadet flight at the U.S. Air Force Academy. From that group 97 women would graduate in 1980. She was able to pass on to them her practical experiences gained over the years. “I told them as the first class they were role models,” said Holmes. “They would be watched like hawks and not always accepted. They would have to excel in their fields and basically, be the sharpest they could be.” Holmes placed a high value on being a team player. She said that is how she hoped to be remembered in her career. “A team doesn’t believe in WAC jobs,” Holmes said. “I felt a job is a job.” Her advice to young women today is simple: Be willing to serve wherever and whenever needed. “You received training, now you have a job to do,” she said. Holmes gained insight into leadership over the decades. She said leaders should know their troops and be willing to listen to them. She had advice for those who aspire to leadership as well. “You have to be willing to take orders before you give orders,” said Holmes. “You have to follow through and support your boss to succeed. Respect them, but be willing to talk to them, too. And meet the mission requirements, they are higher than you.” Along the way Holmes faced many tough challenges. Did she ever consider giving up? The answer was an emphatic no! “If you think something is worth fighting for then stick with it,” she said. Holmes is presently a volunteer in the Peterson AFB Retiree Activity Office.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System equipped C-130 Hercules aircraft from the Air Force Reserve’s 302nd Airlift Wing prepares to depart Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 6, 2017. MAFFS 2 will be based at Fresno Air Tanker Base, California to continue ongoing aerial firefighting efforts in the Western U.S.

Fire Fighting From page 1

amongst the four participating Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard MAFFS airlift wings. The MAFFS-equipped C-130s are operated by four military airlift wings: The 146th Airlift Wing, California Air National Guard; 152nd Airlift Wing, Nevada Air National Guard, 153rd Airlift Wing, Wyoming Air National Guard; and the 302nd Airlift Wing, U.S. Air Force

Reserve Command. All four wings have supported operations at Fresno Tanker Base since the July activation of MAFFS. MAFFS 2 will join the 302nd AW’s MAFFS 5 and the 146th AW’s MAFFS 6 to continue aerial fire fighting efforts. As of Sept. 5, MAFFS-equipped C-130s have made 266 drops disbursing 713,625 gallons of retardant to aid in the suppression of more than a dozen fires. MAFFS is a self-contained aerial firefighting system, owned by the U.S. Forest Service, that can discharge 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant in less than five seconds, covering an area one-quarter of a mile long by 100 feet wide. Once the

load is discharged, MAFFS tanks can be refilled in less than 12 minutes. The DOD, through U.S. Northern Command at Peterson AFB, provides unique military support to firefighting efforts when requested by the National Interagency Fire Center and approved by the Secretary of Defense. These diverse mission assets are prepared to respond quickly and effectively to protect lives, property, critical infrastructure and natural resources, and can include, but are not limited to, MAFFS, military helicopters and ground forces capable of supporting the firefighting efforts.

Space Wing connects with Sci-Fi at Comic Con By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Since Peterson Air Force Base is home of the 21st Space Wing, it was no surprise to find members of Team Pete out in force during the 2017 Colorado Springs Comic Con, Aug. 25-27, 2017. The event is a celebration of science fiction and fantasy. From casual attendees to hard core costume creators, the Wing was represented well in the second year of the event. “My family likes to attend Comic Con whenever we can,” said Lt. Col. Christine Millard, 21st Comptroller Squadron commander. “That usually ends up being about once a year. We went to our first one in St. Louis when I was stationed at Scott Air Force Base and had such a good time that we look for Comic Con events wherever we can.” Millard enjoys the positive energy from the creative expression of artists, vendors and CosPlayers (those who wear costumes from favorite books, movies and TV shows). She especially likes costumes that are a clever nod to pop culture which only a true nerd would understand, she said. Is there a connection between working at a space wing and attraction to conventions where science fiction is a main factor? “I’ll bet you can ask just about anyone in the Air Force if they love Star Wars, or if they’re better aligned to Star Trek and get positive comments about the genre,” said Millard. “In addition, these types of discussions have opened doors to common ground for conversation with the more junior, and actually some of the more seasoned, personnel within my unit. Nothing is better than to have a fun discussion over which one would

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Cosplayers from around the state came and participated in the Colorado Springs Comic Con in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Aug. 26, 2017. Highlighting the weekend, actors and actresses from well-known movie franchises and TV series were on hand to meet and greet fans. win in a battle: The (starship) Enterprise or Millennium Falcon!” The convention was also a family event for Tech Sgt. Jeremy Cole, 721st Security Forces Squadron mids flight chief, who was attending with his son, also named Jeremy. The younger Cole was dressed as Milo Thatch from his favorite movie “Atlantis: The Lost Empire.”

“We go because I am a gamer and enjoy animated movies,” his son said. “I love to see people’s creativity when they dress up in cosplay. The best part was being around people with similar interests, it made me feel at home. I was also excited to have people recognize my costume.” More than career ties, Cole said attending the event is about family ties.

“It is about family,” Cole said. “I returned from a deployment this last February, and things like this make those hard times pass. My family tries to do things together, whether its Comic Con, museums, squadron sports, church or just hanging out at the house grillSee Comic Con page 8

Peterson AFB is going to the Cloud By Capt. Sarahgrace Aglubat 21st Communication Squadron

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — On Sept. 19, 2017 most Air Force NIPRNet users on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, will have their unclassified email accounts migrated to Microsoft’s cloud environment. As a result of this change, those email accounts will now be maintained by Microsoft experts instead of Airmen. The migration will impact all but a few groups on Peterson AFB. Members of NORAD/U.S. Northern Command, Airmen

assigned to 21st Medical Group, and Airmen scheduled for permanent duty station changes in the next six months will not experience a move to the cloud environment. The change is taking place for a number for reasons. The cloud-hosted environment allows the Air Force to consolidate information technology services, reduce costs and improve reliability. The move also enables the AF to free up manpower through commercializing business tools such as Outlook and Lync. The most notable change users will see is to the size of their mailbox. Currently most users are allowed 90 megabytes of space, but

Prevention From page 1

“Protective factors such as support from family, friends or other significant relationships, community involvement, and religious, culture, and ethnic beliefs are all things that we as a community can support and reinforce,” Creameans said. A prime opportunity for everyone to focus on strengthening those protective factors is during 21st Space Wing Wingman Day Oct. 27, 2017. “Wingman Day is a chance for units to step back and take a moment to reflect on how to take care of ourselves and others better,” said Cremeans. “This

doesn’t have to be just on Wingman day and needs to be incorporated as a norm to where it’s not just a twice-a-year event, but a culture of being there for each other whether military, civilian, or family member.” Air Force commanders, leaders, supervisors, spokespersons, and Total Force Airmen should actively engage internal audiences through messages and programs focusing on resiliency, according to Air Force Public Affairs. Additionally, they must consider the best ways to utilize the communication tools and applications at their disposal to help promote effective suicide prevention. “If you’re concerned about a friend or family member talk with them,” said Cremeans. “Conversation can help to figure out if there’s something wrong. Showing concern can help an individual open up and admit they’re having issues.

Half Marathons From page 1 yards at the longest. However, she said a conspiracy between her coach and the cross country coach led to her running far greater distances. “They must have seen something that I did not see in myself,” said Dotson. “They told me if I wanted to run track I had to run cross country too. I thought, ‘no way,’ that was so far from my mind.” The coaches judged her correctly and in her first year Dotson finished ninth in the state of Mississippi. In spite of her early success, she did not run in college nor regularly after high school. When 2006 rolled around Dotson started running again. “I was looking for something to do to occupy my time,” she said. “I needed a new challenge and I saw a flyer about running a marathon. They would train you and you would go to Hawaii for the race.” Initially Dotson thought finishing the 26.2 mile race was unimaginable, but after six months of training she said she was thrilled to complete her first marathon. She didn’t continue running regularly for long. Then in 2013 she rekindled a consistent regimen. Dotson said she was inspired to start the quest for a race in each state while stationed on Wake Island. Her supervisor at the time was fascinated with the Disney running series and travelled to run them frequently. Dotson was intrigued and began training again. When she changed duty stations to Italy, she realized she could run in different countries. She entered a marathon in Lisbon, Portugal, and from there she was off and running. Dotson ran races in an international running series in Europe and a race that wound through Germany, Austria and

Switzerland. She counts eight countries beside the 16 states where she has run races. “It was a hobby where I could get away,” Dotson said. “You see things on foot you would never see otherwise. I love travel and athletics and it had that. It was also a huge stress relief.” The running community inspires her, she said. Other runners will run alongside when someone is struggling and encourage others along the way. “It’s overwhelming,” she said. “On the course everybody has a different story and are out there for different reasons. It’s what keeps me coming back for more.” Typically Dotson makes a list of races she wants to participate in at the beginning of the year. Her selection process has changed somewhat, she said. “Now it’s taken a whole different spin,” said Dotson. “Now I am connected with some groups. I used to (race) alone, but I started seeing some of the same people at races so I connected with them.” The most challenging half marathon she ran was the Pikes Peak Ascent race. She said it tested her endurance and physical ability more than any other. The most enjoyable was the Tinkerbell Half Marathon at Disneyland in California. The most satisfying weekend as she races toward her goal included extended travel and backto-back races in two states. She began the weekend in Seattle on Friday, then flew to Anchorage, Alaska and ran a half marathon Saturday. After that race she was back on a plane and ran in the Seattle Marathon Sunday, where she broke her personal best time by 10 minutes. The next race on her agenda is the Revel Big Cottonwood Half Marathon in Utah, starting off a string of races every weekend through December. Some weekends she will run twice. This year Dotson will participate in two service races for the first time. She will take on the Air Force half marathon Sept. 16 followed by a half marathon in Philadelphia the next day. She will tackle her first Marine Corps marathon Oct. 22.

Dotson is pursuing a goal to run a half marathon in every state. She has already completed races in 16 states.

Comic Con From page 5 ing and watching football. It’s the little things that make the biggest impact.” Staff Sgt. Sarah Zwieg, 21st Security Forces Squadron NCOIC of physical security, attended the event with Staff Sgt. Amanda Brunsvold, 21st SFS unit deployment manager. Brunsvold attended last year’s event in costume as Catwoman and this year she went as Princess Mononoke from the animated movie of the same name. For Zwieg it wasn’t her first Comic Con, but she only recently began cosplaying. She went as Jyn Erso from Star Wars: Rogue One. “I am a bit of a Star Wars fanatic,” she said. “I was most excited to meet Billy Dee Williams who played Lando Calrissian in Star Wars V-VI.” Nathan Hudson, who recently retired as master sergeant and 721st Communications Squadron flight chief of quality assurance, takes these types of events seriously. He was cosplaying as a Twi’lek Mandalorian Mercenary from the Star Wars universe. “Sci-Fi has always been my favorite,” Hudson said. “I love the old movies from the 50s. I grew up on Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers. I remember seeing Return of the Jedi in the theater. It has always been my preference.” Hudson has cosplayed at about 10 conventions, most in the Mandalorian outfit, he said. He began working on it in the summer of 2014 and hoped to have it ready to go for the 2015 Denver Comic Con. Due to other commitments he wasn’t able to spend the necessary time working on it and had to settle for wearing it the following year. “The costumes are never finished,” said Hudson. “You always find something that needs to be done to it.” Working on the costume on again, off again Hudson said he has invested a few hundred hours into its creation. If he would have bought the armor it would have been done faster, but the detail work is what he and other cosplayers find intriguing. Hudson has applied to officially join the Mandalorian Merc Costume Group and they pay attention to the smallest of details he said. Members of Team Pete have the unique opportunity of not just enjoying space, albeit of a fantasy/fiction variety, at conventions, but on a day to day basis fulfilling the mission of the 21st SW. “The only crossover I can describe between my career and being a Star Wars fan (is that) I work within a Space Wing,” Zwieg said. “I enjoy supporting a mission that has so many capabilities and that serves as an important part of our nation’s defense.”

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – The Pikes Peak Regional Air Show will be held at the Colorado Springs airport Sept. 23-24, 2017. The organizers are asking for volunteers to help with this event.

COLORADO SPRINGS AIR SHOW:

Air Show seeks volunteers By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Pikes Peak Regional Air Show will be held at the Colorado Springs Airport and the organizers are looking for volunteers for the Sept. 23-24, 2017, event. The Wings of Blue parachute team from the U.S. Air Force Academy will skydive from a vintage World War II B-17 aircraft. Additionally, performances by the Air Force Thunderbirds and Warbirds will be featured both days of the event. There also will be

static displays from the 21st Space Wing and Air Force Space Command. “A Kid Zone learning area will offer activities for kids of all ages,” said Master Sgt. Nathan Langford, 21st Operations Support Squadron deputy airfield manager. “They can get in a 1930s-era N3N biplane and get a simulated flying lesson, build their own paper airplanes and fly them, or draw and color airplanes. There will also be educational exhibits for the older kids.” “The Pikes Peak Regional Air Show is a two day event at the Colorado Springs Airport,” said Langford, “Volunteers would be greatly appreciated.”

The target for volunteers was set at 350 and the airport currently has 351, 50 of them Airmen from Peterson AFB. Volunteers will assist with ticket sales, food service, information, setup and breakdown, parking lot attendees, and security. With the positive response additional volunteers are still be accepted. Volunteer days are broken down into setup (9/2122), air show (9/23-24) and cleanup (9/25). Hours of operation are from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some of the proceeds from the air show will benefit the Air and Space Museum at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. To volunteer go to pprairshow.org or Facebook.com/pprairshow.

Patriot Fest 2017:

Tribute to those serving America By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Linkin Bridge, Thompson Square, and 3 Doors Down performed at Patriot Fest 2017 on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 9. Patriot Fest is a celebration and tribute to all those, military and civilian, who live their lives in service to America. The sunny and warm afternoon allowed for a festival village with bubbles, bounce houses, kayaking, magic shows, pony rides, mechanical bull, a maze, water gun fights and food trucks. The opening act, Linkin Bridge, appeared on Season 11 of America’s Got Talent and advanced to the Judge’s Cuts before being eliminated in 2016. Thompson Square, a country music duo composed of husband and wife Keifer and Shawna Thompson, have released two albums with six top ten music chart singles of which two have reached number one. “Both of our dads were in the military and we’ve been touring bases for years,” said Keifer Thompson, Thompson Square front man. “Base concerts are something we’ve always wanted to do.”

“It’s our way of serving people who serve us,” said Thompson. Gen. Jay Raymond, Commander of Air Force Space Command, made a guest appearance with Thompson Square playing drums on their hit song “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not.” The crowd braved a short rainstorm to watch 3 Doors Down, a rock band from Escatawpa, Mississippi. Formed in 1996 the band rose to international fame with their first single, Kryptonite, which charted in the top three on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. “We’ve been doing military concerts since 2000.” said Chris Henderson, 3 Doors Down rhythm guitarist. “I can trace my family back to being involved in every military conflict ever.” “It’s nice to be able to do something for the Department of Defense and their families,” said Henderson. “Most servicemen have to be away from home and go live other places to work and a lot of times they have to uproot their families to do it so it’s cool to come out and spend some time with them.” Approximately 7,500 service members and their families from Peterson AFB, U.S. Air Force Academy, Schriever AFB, and Fort Carson attended Patriot Fest 2017.
