Operation Homefront recognizes 2022 Air Force Military Child of the Year

340th Flying Training Group Public Affairs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo (AFNS). — Each April the Department of Defense celebrates Month of the Military Child to recognize the children of all service members and veterans.

Along with that celebration, Operation Homefront hosts an annual awards gala recognizing eight outstanding young people ages 13 to 18 from each branch of the military based on their scholarship, volunteerism, leadership, extracurricular involvement and resiliency.

At this year’s April, 7 gala in Washington, D.C., Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. presented Anna Cummins, 16, with the Air Force Military Child of the Year award. Anna is the daughter of Amy and Lt. Col. Matthew Cummins, 70th Flying Training Squadron flight commander.

“We are extremely proud of everything Anna has done to help her family, classmates and community,” said Lt. Col. Cummins. “She started volunteering in the local community at age four when we were assigned to the 5th Flying Training Squadron at Vance Air Force Base (under the 340th Flying Training Group). Ever since then, Anna has found a calling in helping others.”

According to Anna’s parents, she spends a typical 12-hour day going to school and then volunteering or competing in after school sports, five days every week.

She also often spends her weekends and summers volunteering at hospitals, while taking breaks every now and then for her hobbies, reading and hiking.

When discussing the challenges of being a military child, she mentioned her career goals of becoming a physician assistant and joining the Air Force to help military families stemmed from a lifetime of attending medical appointments with her older sister, Maddy, who is 18 and lives with Rett syndrome. With her sister requiring 24/7 care and being unable to walk or speak, Anna has observed how military families cope with numerous challenges while serving and sought ways to assist.

Anna Cummins (center), 16, poses with her parents, Amy and Lt. Col. Matthew Cummins, 70th Flying Training Squadron flight commander, after Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. presented her with the Air Force Military Child of the Year award at the Operation Homefront annual awards gala in Washington, D.C., April 7, 2022. Operation Homefront hosts this annual gala in conjunction with Month of the Military Child which recognizes eight outstanding young people ages 13 to 18 from each branch of the military based on their scholarship, volunteerism, leadership, extracurricular involvement and resiliency.

“A military child may have to be more responsible and dependable so that your parents can count on you, especially during a deployment. Military hours are not like regular work hours, I’ve learned to be flexible with my dad’s schedule due to his work demands. When the workday ends for most, military parents are still on duty, so I’ve learned I sometimes have to share his time and be patient,” Anna said.

“Military dependents are especially good at living in the present and being resilient. We have no control over what comes down the chain of command, one day we might be going to lunch with our service member and the next day they might get a phone call they have to go. We know the risks and hazards of their jobs, even if they’re stateside. We appreciate the time we spend with our loved ones and are grateful for the time we have together.”

In addition to this, Anna holds aspirations on becoming a pilot which is why she’s attained a leadership role in the Civil Air Patrol and founded the Aviation and Aerospace Club at her school.

“My favorite part of being a military child is all the amazing people that I get to meet and learn from.

I’ve had the opportunity to talk to groundbreakers such as Maj. Christy Wise, the first female amputee to return to flying duty. I’ve also spoken with the Thunderbirds and their flight doctor,” Anna said.

“In 2019, I attended a Yellow Ribbon Conference for post-deployment families, there I connected with other military children and learned new tactics to deal with stress and anxiety in the day-to-day life of a military child.”

During the gala, Anna also received $10,000, a laptop computer and other donated gifts.

Perseverance in the face of adversity: a Q&A with Tech. Sgt. Joshua Samples

By Kristian DePue Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Joshua Samples is the noncommissioned officer in charge with the 50th Contracting Squadron’s Rapid Construction Team. The 50th CONS is a component of the 50th Mission Support Group and provides mission partners with agile and innovative contracting capabilities to enable space and cyberspace warfighting superiority.

“The contracting career field is always at the forefront when it comes to change,” said Samples. “The last couple of years, with the stand-up of Space Force and transition to a garrison, we’ve been key to facilitating that change — whether it be updating facilities for our ever-increasing missions, coordinating base support services for an increasing base populace, or buying systems and software to support our satellites.”

“Sergeant Samples provides leadership and mentorship, said MSgt. David Maida, 50 CONS deputy flight chief, base infrastructure. “Samples manages a multimillion-dollar construction contract portfolio and trains others to do the same. He creates a culture of innovation, leadership and growth.”

Maida has known Samples for many years, having worked together at DavisMonthan AFB, Arizona ten years ago.

“He’s a self-starter,” continued Maida.

“I appreciate his ‘we got this’ attitude. He doesn’t disappoint, delivering results and deals with tough situations.”

Only recently, Samples returned to the 50th CONS, however. Six months ago, completely unexpected, Samples was put into a medically induced coma and remained in that state for five weeks. There were moments when the doctors weren’t sure he was going to survive, but he did.

He woke up 30 lbs. lighter and with a beard, unable to walk and not knowing what transpired in the interim.

Staff Sgt. Cindy Delgado, 50 CONS contract specialist, who works alongside Samples, recognizes and praises him as a colleague and as a person of perseverance.

“Tech. Sgt. Samples benefits the garrison greatly,” said Delgado. “The amount of knowledge and experience he has is unparalleled. He’s faced his share of adversities, yet he’s still here, fighting. You’ll leave a conversation with him feeling grounded and humbled after everything he’s gone through. He’s a judgment-free zone; he may not relate to the specific situation, but he definitely has valuable insight.”

In conversation with the P-S GAR’s 4

April 14, 2022

public affairs office, he opened up about those trials.

Q&A with U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Joshua Samples Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs: Tell the readers about your background.

TSgt. Samples: I was raised in a small town in West Virginia. I joined the Air Force as soon as I graduated high school. My mother operates a bakery. My father worked in asbestos and lead testing — and environmental control.

P-S GAR: Why did you join the U.S. Air Force?

TSgt. Samples: There wasn’t much around West Virginia for what I was trying to pursue, and I didn’t have the money to attend college.

I was in high school when 9/11 happened, and that motivated me to join and help the fight. It was the best decision.

P-S GAR: How has the U.S. Air Force benefitted you?

TSgt. Samples: With being in the Air Force since 17, I’ve grown up in the Force, right? Without the Air Force, I wouldn’t have met my wife; I wouldn’t have traveled the world; I wouldn’t have met a group of fantastic people. Ultimately, it’s allowed me to discover a lot of things I’m passionate about: for one, taking care of people. I’ve become more empathetic. The Air Force has opened doors to connect with people on a higher level.

P-S GAR: Talk to us about your inspirational quote: “Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.”

TSgt. Samples: This quote speaks to my experience with workload, people, career choices, thought processes, addiction, mental health — you name it. Everything I’ve ever had, I’ve tried to hold onto in one way or another, despite my best intentions and worst interests. The claw marks signify my resistance to let go.

P-S GAR: Please elaborate.

Peterson Space Force Base

TSgt. Samples: Five years ago, my father started having health problems and suffered a series of strokes. I became his medical power of attorney. Around that time, I got selected to go to Turkey for a year — away from family, and away from everything that was going on with my father. I still retained power of attorney. That was difficult; I was halfway across the world coordinating care. It was also a stressful time professionally.

With that, I’m somebody who’s battled alcoholism my entire life, since age 13. It was the only coping mechanism I had. Ultimately, I had to address it.

P-S GAR: What’s your current status?

TSgt. Samples: I’m two years sober. When I say that ‘I haven’t let anything go without leaving claw marks,’ there’s a lot of things I’ve been forced to address personally and professionally that I was, or am, emotionally invested in. With sobriety, I find a lot of benefit in helping others, being a listening ear and relatable to what’s going on.

P-S GAR: You were recently hospitalized for something entirely different.

TSgt. Samples: Sobriety is one thing; my last six months have been another. On November 17th, I went in for a routine surgery that I’d had before. We’re not sure what transpired, but after being discharged, I was back in the hospital within eight hours with acute respiratory failure. I was put into a coma for five weeks, and during that, I had sepsis; I had acute kidney failure, brain bleeds and blood clots. That was just this past Thanksgiving. I was discharged, again, the day after Christmas. It’s been a steady three months of physical therapy to get back to the point of coming back to the office.It’s been a long road to get back — some of the hardest work I’ve done in my entire life.

There’s still ongoing medical stuff; I’ve seen seven different specialists at this point. It’s something that happened we didn’t have any control over, but allows me to bring a different perspective to everyday life, helping Airmen. It’s another

SPACE ORBITAL

Schriever Space Force Base

part of my story.

P-S GAR: What are some things you learned, beneficial for readers?

TSgt. Samples: That you’re not alone. Everybody is going through experiences, you’re not the only one having bad thoughts, depressed or having anxious feelings. You have these negative feelings and want to isolate yourself. You want to try to take care of it the best or only way you know how: hiding it, or putting on a good face. There are people out there willing to talk, listen and point you in the right direction.

P-S GAR: How has your wife handled so much?

TSgt. Samples: We’ve been together for 16 years. She has been through the good, the bad and the in-between. She had to make some very difficult decisions while I was in a coma, advocating for my care.

She’s one of the strongest people I know. Luckily, she had a great support system, whether that be the squadron reaching out or family coming into town to help with the kids. She’s my rock; she’s the reason I’m still here. If she didn’t know how strong she was before, she does now.

P-S GAR: To end on a lighter note, how do you spend your time?

TSgt. Samples: Golf. I like to golf.

I was very athletic growing up — football, wrestling, track, baseball, but I’ve pretty much had to retire from all of those physical activities, but I love to golf. There’s nothing more humbling than golfing. I find a lot of enjoyment in nature and getting out on a good day. It’s been a good sport to find refuge in. I’m also into woodworking. I’ve built dressers and chairs — there’s something therapeutic about it.

P-S GAR: Is there anything you’d like to leave readers with?

TSgt. Samples: You don’t really know what you’re capable of until you’re pushed to the limits. This certainly isn’t the ideal path I chose for myself — but ultimately, I still have a voice and I’m able to convey what I hope to be as positive message to anybody who is willing to listen. sfspaceorbital.com

Cheif’s Corner: CMSgt Daniel Stellabotte

By U.S. Air Force CMSgt Daniel Stellabotte Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — In my 26 years serving in the world’s greatest Air Force, I have learned many valuable lessons, and I would like to share some with you.

We often talk about what type of leader we aspire to be, but do we ever think about what type of leader we do not want to be?

Throughout our careers we go through challenging times: a tough experience with a supervisor, assignment or life in general. The challenge is to not dwell on the negative aspects of those experiences, but to turn them into a positive.

I take on the mindset when I am in a supervisory role or senior position, where I can affect Airmen or Guardians, that I am not going to lead with the same negative experiences I have encountered.

I want my Airmen and Guardians to have it better than I did. Each one of us is in control of that narrative, and I have carried that mindset with me since I was a junior Airman.

Here is another example of having the right mindset.

When I came into the military, education was the furthest thing from my mind. It wasn’t until my fifteenth year if service that I decided to finally finish my bachelor’s degree.

The challenge was I now held a special duty posi-

tion, was married with three children and my spouse was also in school and employed full-time.

I certainly did not choose the easy button by taking care of my education early in my career and with less responsibility on the home front.

What I will share with you is it took time to realize I was not only marketing myself for that moment, but also for when I retire and take the uniform off.

Don’t procrastinate with your education and invest in yourselves!

My final thought is understand three “Ws”: why, where and when.

Why did you join the world’s most elite Air or Space Force?

For me, I have been around the military my entire life, so it was an easy decision to follow in my family’s footsteps and it gave me such a feeling of pride.

Where do you come from?

We all come from different backgrounds, but that is what makes us so strong. Don’t ever forget where you came from and bring that to the team. Share your amazing experiences and talents with the world!

Also, think about the first time you wore the uniform, which is another part of where you are from.

When did you commit?

I enlisted in the Air Force in June 1995, but I did not commit until 12 Sept, 2001; the day after the attacks on America. That day, I realized the United States of America needed me. What I challenge ev-

GSSAP 5, 6 accepted for operations

GSSAPs 5 and 6 launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on Jan. 21, 2022.

By Staff Writer Space Operations Command

PATRICK SPACE FORCE BASE, Fla. — Space Operations Command has accepted Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites 5 and 6 as operationally capable and has presented them to United States Space Command for operational use.

“By streamlining decision making, synchronizing test events, and improving resourcing, we were able to clear the latest GSSAP satellites for operational use four months ahead of schedule,” said Col. Matt Cantore, Director of Combat Power for Headquarters, Space Operations Command. “The addition of these vehicles expands the GSSAP constellation and allows for even more opportunity to respond to real-world threats,” he added.

GSSAPs 5 and 6 launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on Jan. 21, 2022. GSSAP satellites are a space-based capability operating in the near-geosynchronous orbit regime supporting U.S. Space Command space surveillance operations as a dedicated Space Surveillance Network (SSN) sensor.

GSSAP satellites collect space situational awareness data allowing for more accurate tracking and characterization of man-made orbiting objects. From a near-geosynchronous orbit, they have a clear, unobstructed and distinct vantage point for viewing Resident Space Objects (RSOs).

GSSAP satellites operate near the geosynchronous belt and have the capability to perform Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO). RPO allows for the space vehicle to maneuver near a resident space object of interest, enabling characterization for anomaly resolution and enhanced surveillance, while maintaining flight safety. Data from GSSAP uniquely contributes to timely and accurate orbital predictions, enhancing our knowledge of the geosynchronous orbit environment, and further enabling space flight safety to include satellite collision avoidance.

GSSAP satellites communicate information through the world-wide Space Force Satellite Control Network (SFSCN) ground stations, then to Schriever Space Force Base, Colo., where Space Delta 9 conducts day-to-day operations.

By Airman 1st Class Aaron Edwards Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — U.S. Space Force Spc. 4 Aileen Ocampo, 50th Space Communications Squadron network infrastructure technician, is the Peterson-Schriever Garrison outstanding performer of the month for April 2022.

Ocampo joined the U.S. Air Force in May, 2019 as a way to travel the world.

After technical training, she was sent to Anderson Air Force Base, Guam to work with the Defense Information Systems Agency. During her time at AAFB she was promoted and started her transition into the United States Space Force.

“I loved Guam,” said Ocampo.

“Overseas, people are a lot closer because they’re further away from their families.” She went on to encourage others to make the most of their time there, “If you take advantage of all the opportunities on the island [Guam] the beach, food and getting involved - it’s great.”

Ocampo was stationed at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado, to work with the 50th Space Communication Squadron as a network infrastructure technician in Dec, 2021. Since then, she has worked on the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), replacing all of the old phones on SSFB with more modern phones.

“Ocampo was selected as P-S Garrison’s Outstanding Performer of the Month due to her ever increasing sfspaceorbital.com

expertise, moral character and incredibly friendly nature when supporting the users of Schriever SFB,” said U.S. Space Force Tech. Sgt. Christopher Reljin, 50 SCS section chief of infrastructure. “She has helped tremendously in converting the base antiquated phone system to a modern digital telephone solution, affecting all 8,000 personnel.

Furthermore, she is a “Supra Coder” who is always thinking in new ways and is motivated in finding solutions to innovate our current processes and improve the operational capabilities of the 50 SCS.”

Ocampo’s hard work and dedication to her job has helped contribute to a 90% reduction in work orders for her office, lightening the work load and improving efficiency.

“In the short time she has been with the work center, she has elevated our team’s connection and cohesion by organizing meetups, luncheons, hikes and more,” said Reljin. “Her commitment to the success of the 50 SCS mission is unwavering and I look forward to all of the great things she can achieve during her time here.”

PSFB CE team to compete in first Air Force readiness challenge in 22 years

U.S. Space Force photo by Josh Conti

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Christopher Brown, 45th Civil Engineer Squadron, monitors dirt loading operations during a training session March 17, 2022, at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida. Brown and several CE Airmen are preparing to compete in Readiness Challenge VIII at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., April 18-22. The competition will test their abilities to complete tasks associated with the CE career field.

By Tech. Sgt. James Hodgman Space Launch Delta 45 Public Affairs

PATRICK SPACE FORCE BASE, Fla. — Military members are constantly focused on full-spectrum readiness. They must be able to respond at a moment’s notice to any situation including humanitarian assistance operations, international rescue missions, counterterrorism, and combat.

Air Force civil engineers are responsible for maintaining bases in the United States and overseas as ‘power projection platforms.’ They are responsible for ensuring these bases are capable of meeting mission demands, which includes restoring a base to full functionality after a natural disaster or an attack.

U.S. Airmen in the civil engineer career field serve in a variety of specialties including firefighters, emergency management, infrastructure support and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).

Those capabilities will be put to the test at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, from April 18-22 during Readiness Challenge VIII, the first CE readiness challenge in 22 years. The challenge will assess the abilities

of CE Airmen to perform contingency and wartime tasks.

More than 300 Airmen from every CE specialty will compete in the challenge, according to the AFCEC. Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, is sending a team of 26 Airmen to compete, along with three Airmen from Peterson SFB, Colorado, and seven Airmen from Vandenberg SFB, California. Those Airmen will form the U.S. Space Force team, which will be the first to compete in the event.

U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Kelby Bailey, 45th Civil Engineer Squadron officer in charge of program development, will be the Space Force team leader during the competition.

He said the challenge will be vital to enhancing overall readiness.

“We will be tested on our ability to deploy and our abilities to efficiently establish bare-base-bed-down activities,” Bailey said.

These actives include setting up shelters and important infrastructure such as potable water and dining facilities, Bailey said. They also include capabilities such as emergency response, airfield damage recovery and EOD. “We don’t know exactly what is going to happen at the challenge, but every section

we have will be tested,” Bailey said. “We will be tested on our ability to come together and effectively accomplish objectives.

Readiness is very important, especially for CE. Without capable, highly proficient CE professionals, military leaders wouldn’t have the ability to set up contingency bases overseas.”

Eight teams with 312 competitors will participate in the readiness challenge including members of the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard, said Royal Canadian air force Maj. Craig Bradshaw, chief of contingency training.

Bradshaw is one of the planners for the event, He said one of the goals of the challenge is to cultivate a readiness ‘growth mindset’ and stress the importance of training so forces are ready to respond to anything.

“Readiness is a culture that needs to be fostered and maintained at all times,” Bradshaw said. “This ensures we can respond to known and emerging threats.”

During the competition, each team will be evaluated on a myriad of tasks that span the entire CE career field, Bradshaw said.

“Readiness Challenge provides an opportunity to test our wartime and contingen-

By Staff Writer Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — U.S. Space Command and the United Kingdom Space Command signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning Enhanced Space Cooperation (ESC MOU) on Apr. 6, 2022.

U.S. Army Gen. James Dickinson, USSPACECOM Commander, and Royal Air Force Air Vice-Marshal Paul Godfrey, Commander of UKSpaceCom, signed the agreement at 37th Space Symposium.

Building upon the December 2021 U.S.-UK Statement of Intent between the Department of Defense and

Ministry of Defence, the ESC MOU is a non-legally binding framework for deepened military cooperation in the space domain. The MOU aims to increase exchange of information, harmonize military space requirements, and identify potential collaborative studies, projects, or activities.

Through these cooperative efforts, the U.S. and UK will continue to improve coordination and interoperability to maintain freedom of action in space, optimize resources, and enhance mission assurance and resilience.

Media queries should be sent to U.S. Space Command Public Affairs Office at 719-554-3478 or USSPACECOM. PA.MEDIA@us.af.mil.

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — SpaceX CEO Elon Musk motivated cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy to keep the research industry on its toes by fighting complacency and working overtime to break boundaries.

“We want to take the fiction out of science fiction,” Musk told throngs of cadets during his April 7 stopover at the school as featured speaker for the Ira C. Eaker Lecture, named to honor U.S. Army Air Force General Eaker’s contributions to national defense.

Musk encouraged cadets to fight the discouragement researchers encounter and concentrate on their successes.

“Prototypes are easy, production is hard,” he said. “There’s an asymmetry in the way we remember things – we remember mistakes more than successes.”

Space exploration, Musk said, hinges on the development of spacecraft able to regularly travel to and from space.

“A fully and rapidly reusable or-

bital vehicle is the absolute game changer,” he said. “It’s the difference between humanity being a true space-faring civilization or not.”

Senior cadet Thomas McClean, an astronautical engineering major, said Musk’s comments on balancing fear of failure with desire for innovation is a challenge for all cadet researchers.

“It’s certainly an area we can improve on, just in terms of finding new ways to innovate and remove processes that don’t make sense,” he said.

Several satellites and other technology designed and built at the Academy has traveled to space aboard SpaceX rockets. Musk told cadets Defense Department and commercial space research are united in solving problems associated with space exploration, including cost barriers and the nearly 30,000 pieces of space debris threatening spacecraft. He urged cadets to curb their hesitation and set their research sights on commonplace space travel.

“When rocket launches get boring, that’s success,” he said. sfspaceorbital.com
