50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Schriever Airmen, from a variety of ranks and squadrons, participated in the annual Colorado Springs Veteran’s Day Parade in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Nov. 4.

The Schriever flight marched as part of the parade’s “Flight of Flags,” soon followed by a truck towing a statue of the 50th Space Wing Opinicus, complete with flashing red eyes.

Airmen, as well as Canadian service members, remained resilient while marching in the formation, braving strong winds, each

carrying their own flag.

“Holding the flag was a challenge, but it was rewarding to see the people out there showing their support,” said Airman 1st Class Cory Winston, 50th Communications Squadron client systems technician and first-year parade participant. “I heard it was a good experience, and it was. As we got moving and saw everyone watching, it felt like we were representing something bigger than us — we were representing Schriever.”

Capt. Eshawn Rawlley, 50th Space Wing Judge Advocate’s office chief of military

justice, also a first-year participant, said the chance to represent Schriever overshadowed the disagreeable weather.

“It was fun seeing kids running around waving American flags,” he said. “It makes your heart swell knowing the community cares about what we do and holds us in high regard.”

The parade featured a large procession of floats, marchers and bands that made their way down the Colorado Springs streets in See Parade page 11

The squadron is a component of the 50th Operations Group and consists of approximately 185 personnel. It develops training

requirements and directs support operations across eight weapon systems including Positioning Navigation and Timing, Military Satellite Communications and Space Situational Awareness.

“The mission of the squadron is to enable combat effects by leading qualification training, intelligence operations and tactics development to support space and cyber operations,” said Lt. Col. David Gallagher,

50th OSS commander. “Our team has led the charge on changing the space operator culture from a support function to a warfighter mentality.”

The price of vision CSMNG COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

50th Civil Engineer Squadron commander

I believe we’ve all come across those people who seem to have a little more vision than the rest of us.

One individual we revere in that manner CSMNG CSMNG and bring up quite frequently is Maj. Gen. Billy Mitchell. Mitchell was a pioneer of a separate Air Force and Air power leading the war effort. One can attest with some certainty this came about because of his efforts and outspokenness.

We don’t often discuss how his efforts to create a separate Air Force caused him to be court-martialed for violating “good order and military discipline” and displaying conduct that brought “discredit” on the service.

His court martial was in session for seven weeks. It became clear the trial was a political court martial and it reached a sensational level of coverage among civilian reporters of the day.

His verdict read as follows: “Upon secret written ballot two thirds of the court ‘finds the accused guilty of all specifications and of the charge.’ …Upon secret written ballot the court sentences the accused to be suspended from rank, command and duty with the forfeiture of all pay and allowances for five years. The court is thus lenient because of the military record of the accused during the World War.” That verdict and sentence was meted out Dec. 17, 1925. Col. Billy Mitchell tendered his resignation from the U.S. Army Feb. 1, 1926.

History has looked more favorably upon Mitchell after his death. President Franklin Roosevelt awarded him a posthumous promotion to major general and gave his family the Special Congressional Gold Medal. He is COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

History has proven Mitchell right on his numerous predictions, most often cited the Japanese bombing on Pearl Harbor. I would venture a guess this was frowned upon when he spoke about it, and it did not endear him to his superior officers at the time.

Visionaries make people uncomfortable.

To a certain extent, I would assert that vision is synonymous with innovation. A separate Air Force, was definitely an innovation at the time.

Visionaries are not walking on the provided path, they are not hampered by tradition and are independent thinkers who come to their own conclusions based on experience. They question the status quo.

Schriever, it’s in our 50th Space Wing Mission Statement and our first Wing priority.

Do we understand the price real innovation and vision may cost? I’m not advocating anyone start a fight of epic proportions over being a separate Space Corps, potentially ending in your court martial, but are we prepared to listen to ideas and courses of action which might make us uncomfortable? Are we prepared to answer the tough questions about why we continue to do things the same way, month after month, year after year? Are we prepared to say “it’s a bad idea,” to leaders?

Schriever is unique in many ways. If you ask me, it is the base of the future. Mission focused, no unnecessary infrastructure, no support facilities that can’t be found in the local community or within a 10-15 mile drive.

To many, these would require a paradigm shift to be comfortable.

Perhaps innovation for Schriever would look something like 12 percent off your final bill at the off base grocery store for all Department of Defense card holders. No gate to worry about, open 24 hours. Perhaps Schriever could procure a reduced rate at all the local gyms and offer that to their Airmen and civilians as a benefit of working on Schriever.

The paradigm that is still very much alive is that everything an Airmen ever needed or could need is provided on the base at every Air Force base location with Creech and Schriever being the exception to the rule. Embrace issues, work with them and think outside of the box, or Schriever fence line. The space mission is demanding that of you every day, but the same attitude or vision it not often applied elsewhere.

Holiday party to encompass Schriever unity, giving By 2nd Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

With the arrival of the winter season typically comes the 50th Space Wing Holiday Party; however, this year “wing” has been extended to “base” as cold weather looms.

All Schriever Air Force Base inhabitants are officially invited to attend the “Seasonal Celebrations Around the World” party, a celebration of unity and giving, Dec. 1.

“The vision we have for this year is to provide Schriever leadership the opportunity to thank base personnel for their efforts and shared mission accomplishment, and we want to do this while celebrating inclusiveness and a sense of giving, in a fun and classy environment,” said 2nd Lt. Ethan McCarthy 22nd Space Operations Squadron mission commander and holiday party coordinator.

All ticket sales for the party are set to be finalized Nov. 27, with the event taking place at the Peterson Air Force Base Club, 6 — 9 p.m. Dec. 1. Unlike holiday parties of the past, there is no set series of events. After opening remarks and an invocation, it is up to the facilitator and guests to keep the night rolling.

“We’re hoping to wash away the expectation of it being a sit-down evening. It’s definitely going to be more of a social event this year, with plenty of talking, walking around, dancing, mingling and trying the different food options available,” said Capt. Cole White, 22nd SOPS chief of weapons and tactics and holiday party coordinator.

White and McCarthy praised the unique menu for this year’s party as a tool to highlight a sense of unity for the night.

“We are going to have a buffet of heavy h’ordeuvres from various regions around the world,” McCarthy said. “It’s a way to see what other cultures have to offer in terms of flavors and tastes.”

Following the theme of a season of giving, there will be an opportunity for attendees to support the local community with donations.

“The sense of giving is going to be big-especially because we’re asking attendees to provide either cans of food or toy donations to provide as much as we can to local charities,” White said. “The incentive there is the more toys or cans of food people bring, the more tickets they earn for the night’s raffle.”

The raffle will take place during the party, with ticketholders awaiting to find out who will be the owner of the

While adults enjoy the food, music and socializing the holiday party will offer, the youngest members of the Schriever community will be able to enjoy either a night at the Schriever Child Development Center for their December “Parent’s Night Out,” or the separate kids party that will take place at the Peterson Club.

Ultimately, holiday party coordinators will work to provide attendees a low-stress night of socializing and food, only requesting guests to pay special heed to the dress code.

“We’re trying to make this a more relaxed social event. It’s more of a cocktail party,” McCarthy said. “Just please don’t come in jeans, sweatpants or ‘ugly sweaters.’”

This article was written mainly to generate discussion amongst personnel at Schriever, military and civilian. I used a dramatic example, but we gloss over the ugly parts and focus on Major General Mitchell being the Father of Airpower not acknowledging the fact it ended his career and impacted his personal life and family.

Innovative ideas and vision often make people uncomfortable. It’s a departure from the norm. Are you prepared to have

conversations with your personnel and others that push you outside of your comfort zone? Are you able to overcome the style of presentation to really consider the idea being presented? Or do you shut them down and say: “That will never happen, moving on.”

How are you promoting that calculated risk taking, and decision making within your office, your flight, your squadron, your group and ultimately your wing?

How are you training your personnel to be visionary, but hopefully not risk their professional career in the process? Or is that the price of true vision?

Native American Heritage Month looks beyond stereotypes

By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

In 1990, President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution establishing November as National Native American Heritage Month.

According to the U.S. Air Force website, 0.7 percent of service members are American Indian.

Lita Huggins, Missile Defense Agency computer operations support analyst, served in the Army, and is now working at Schriever. She is also a member of the Rosebud Sioux Nation.

Huggins loves being at Schriever because she has the opportunity to support joint forces, as well as work with different cultures across a broad spectrum.

“As the country recognizes Native American Heritage Month, I want people to look past the stereotypes and recognize the contributions Native American Indians have made to the United States,” she said.

Huggins was born on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota and is the 11th of 12 children to an Indian father and Caucasian mother.

She moved to Omaha, Nebraska when she was just two weeks old, so she did not get to experience life on an Indian reservation, but nonetheless values Native American ideals, such as respecting the land and its inhabitants, both human and animal.

“Littering drives me crazy,” she said.

“I think, ‘some animal is going to choke on that,’ and there aren’t going to be any more.”

Huggins has an affection for animals, and believes they should only be killed out of necessity. She also believes in medicine men, miracles and natural healing, beliefs

she traces back to her Sioux heritage.

“Pretty soon our bodies will become immune to the antibiotics we take, so we’ll have to go back to natural healing,” she said.

Huggins’ mother continued to expose her to Native American heritage, even in a big city. The family regularly attended powwows and her and her twin sister participated in city parades dressed in traditional Native American clothing.

Her experience growing up in the city helped her understand how racial tensions can affect people.

“It was difficult growing up there (Omaha) because of my mixed blood,” she said. “I was not totally accepted one way or another; I wasn’t all white, I wasn’t all Indian.”

The Army offered her a different experience.

“It was great to see other tribes from around the world, and I loved the cohesion and mission,” she said.

Huggins joined the Army out of high school because she wanted to make a difference. She served 14 years and left in 1996. Her husband is also an Army veteran.

Huggins returns to the reservation occasionally to visit her relatives, which she said gives her a sense of peace. She is able to watch buffalo roam freely in the field behind her aunt’s house.

She added life on the reservation has improved since the 1950s, but poverty is still prevalent due to high unemployment rates.

“I still attend powwows in the area, and when I have time, I partake in beading and quill work,” she said. I’ve exposed my daughters to their heritage since birth.

We are very proud to be Native American Indians.”

Sijan left legacy of love, leadership

By Christa D’Andrea Profession of Arms Center of Excellence

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — November marks the 50th commemorative year since Capt. Lance P. Sijan ejected from his aircraft over Vietnam following an ordnance explosion.

Today, Sijan’s story is being re-told through the Profession of Arms Center of Excellence’s newest Portraits in Courage video, “Unbroken Will: The Lance P. Sijan Story.”

“I am so grateful that the Air Force continues to recognize the spirit that lived in Lance Sijan,” said Janine Sijan-Rozina, Lance’s sister. “Lance’s message casts a large net. This PACE tribute will continue to reach many who seek to manifest that which lives in each one of us. A made-up mind is a powerful thing. Lance’s life is the perfect example of that.”

Sijan, is the first academy graduate to have received the Medal of Honor. He had a number of serious injuries after ejecting from his aircraft, to include a compound fracture of the leg. For 46 days he dragged himself along the jungle floor until being captured by the Viet Cong. Upon his capture, he was emaciated and covered in infected sores.

“I could not believe what had happened to Lance’s body. He was so thin and emaciated I did not recognize him at all,” recounted retired USAF Capt.

Guy Gruthers at the May dedication of the Lance P. Sijan Memorial Plaza in Milwaukee.

Gruthers was a fellow academy grad and prisoner of war at the Hanoi Hilton. He and another prisoner were charged with taking care of Sijan, “but the guards apparently felt Lance would die soon. So they viciously beat and tortured him [Sijan] in an attempt to obtain information quickly,” Gruters recalled.

Narrated by Tech. Sgt. Jamen Berry, “Unbroken Will,” talks about Sijan’s legacy of love and leadership.

“Lance never gave up believing they would escape. His love of country — and of his Airmen — was immeasurable, and unbroken right up to the end,” Berry who is a security forces Airman and an instructor with the 343rd Training Squadron at JBSA-Lackland, narrates.

Sijan-Rozina, who is 12 years younger than her brother, said “Lance took on a role of mentor and protector for me. He was always physically, mentally, and spiritually larger than life. It was his nature to respond where he was needed.”

To honor his legacy, today the Lance P. Sijan award, first presented in 1981, recognizes the accomplishments of officers and enlisted leaders who demonstrate the highest qualities of leadership in the performance of their duties and conduct of their lives.

The 2016 award winners were recently recognized in a ceremony at the Pentagon.

“He never lost faith in his God, his nation, his family and his comrades,” Sijan-Rozina said at the ceremony. “For decades I have heard people who have come to know Lance’s story and embrace his life say to themselves ‘he could do that, then I could do this.’”

Unbroken Will was produced as part of the Heritage Today program run by PACE. Each video in the series is linked to the core values and is designed to inspire and promote critical thinking and group discussion. The series includes heritage, major command, Portraits in Courage and career field identity videos.

“Lance Sijan was a true warrior,” Berry added.

“Every Airman should aspire to serve by his example.

He never gave up.”

Operators From page 1 domain,” he continued. “Our job is to educate students on the importance of Space Mission Force and their critical role in our continued success.”

The 50th OSS is composed of various sections working in synergy to ensure Airmen are prepared to deliver global capabilities for day to day operations. These sections include an instructor flight, curriculum development flight, student and resource management flight, intelligence flight and weapons and tactics flight.

The 50th OSS instructors provide Initial Qualification Training and Upgrade Qualification Training, graduating more than 200 students per year. The instructors provide the foundational and advanced knowledge necessary for students to become successful space operators.

Also leading the Instructor Qualification Course, the 50th OSS is responsible for qualifying both squadron line and staff instructors through a two-week program to establish a baseline of instruction across all mission areas.

Courseware developers author and maintain 12 courses for instructor utilization during class.

Currently, courseware development personnel are in the process of implementing a digital and physical 3-D modeling concept.

This capability will enhance student expertise of specific satellite components to allow greater knowledge and proficiency of their weapon system.

Additionally, Intelligence and Weapons and Tactics personnel significantly contribute to advanced training scenario de-

velopment within the Operations Group.

Advanced training is critical in developing the next generation of space cadre to better understand the threat environment to anticipate potential attacks and operate through an attack if one should occur.

The resource management flight plays a significant role in ensuring we acquire and maintain an adequate “train like we fight” simulator environment.

First Lt. Skyler Awisus, 50th OSS simulation and project management section chief, said being in his position has many rewarding aspects.

“My primary responsibility is to ensure the effectiveness of required training environment; this will allow realistic scenarios against a thinking adversary to prepare for a war that extends into space,” Awisus said.

“I am the focal point between the space operations squadrons and the OSS to define the operational requirements and ultimately oversee the products from the contractor. The best operators come to the 50 OSS. We all have the same mindset and we want to get better so we can grow the next generation of space operators.”

New to Schriever is 2nd Lt. Albaro Pillco, 50th OSS student, who has yet to undergo space operations training.

“I feel fortunate to be here as a casual student and develop more of an understanding of how 50th OSS works,” Pillco said. “It is a great opportunity to receive hands-on programmatic experience and in-depth understanding of the threats we are currently facing.

“My goal is to be the best I can be,” he continued. “There’s a lot more to learn and I’m excited for what the future holds.”

The diverse capabilities of the 50th OSS are essential to the operations of the 50th Space Wing. From creating Schriever’s newest space operators to developing tactics that will ensure America’s space superiority, the men and women of the 50th OSS are at the forefront.

“There’s never been a more important time in space operations than now,” Gallagher said. “It’s interesting to see how the threat environment has evolved since I was a lieutenant, and the different challenges space operators now go against. It’s very rewarding to see students new to the Air Force, watch them develop into great operators and to ultimately have them come back as instructors so they can pump that expertise into the training pipeline. It’s certainly one of the best aspects of my job to see it come full circle.

“I am honored and privileged to be part of the 50th OSS,” he continued. “It’s one of the most professional teams I’ve been a part of. We have amazing people doing amazing things every day.”

The 50th OSS is crucial in all things mission-related, training and preparing the men and women who accomplish these critical tasks day-in and day-out.

“There’s never been a more important time in space operations than now,” Gallagher said. “It’s interesting to see the way the threat environment has evolved since I was a lieutenant, and the different challenges space operators now go against. It is great to see the best operators come back as instructors here; you have an opportunity to see it come full circle if you’re here long enough.”

“I am honored and priveleged to be a part of the 50th OSS,” he continued. “We have amazing people doing amazing tasks every day.”

tribute to military members, both active duty and retired.

“There were a ton of people out there,” Winston said. “Being out there it definitely made me want to smile.”

According to the parade’s official website, the annual event, which started in 2000, is held to “honor all veterans and to educate and inspire community awareness, while paying tribute to the service and sacrifices all veterans have endured in pursuit of freedom.”

This year’s parade theme was “celebrating military milestones,” highlighting important military anniversaries such as the Air Force’s 70th Birthday, Fort Carson’s 4th Infantry

Division’s hundredth year, 75 years of Navy Seabees, 170 years since the battle Chapultepec (the inspiration for the U.S. Marines Corps official “Marines’ Hymn”), 100 years since the U.S. entered World War I and 227 years since the formation of the U.S. Coast Guard.

Past parade themes included last year’s “Women in the Military” (which featured an all-female Schriever Airmen formation participated in), “Pearl Harbor — 70 Years in Remembrance,” and “Veterans — The Unwavering Force.”

Rawlley expressed gratitude to be able to march and help strengthen Schriever’s connection to the local community.

“I would definitely do it again,” Rawlley said. “It’s important to uphold our image. We’re proud to be here, and the community is proud to have us. It’s a good feeling all around.”

Col. Jennifer Grant, 50th Space Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Jason Tiek, 50th SW command chief, applaud marchers during the Colorado Springs Veteran’s Day Parade in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Nov. 4, 2017. Leadership joined other military, including Schriever Airmen, who participated in the parade, to recognize military service members, both active duty and retired.

The Opinicus is part of the 50th SW emblem, which stems from the defunct 50th Pursuit Group (now 50th Operations Group) and its emblem, marking Schriever’s transition from “masters of the sky,” to “masters of space.”

Comprehensive Airmen Fitness Resilience Skills

Resilience program supports Schriever Airmen

By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

“Take care of our Airmen and families always,” is one of the 50th Space Wing’s priorities.

Sometimes, it may be easy to forget about work-life balance. However, there is a program in place to remind Airmen and their families of skill sets they can use in their daily lives to keep the balance: the Resilience Program.

There are 11 Comprehensive Airmen Fitness resilience skills such as gratitude, balance your thinking, values-based goals, capitalizing on strengths, mindfulness, spiritual and physical health.

“Research has shown gaining resilience skills creates stronger work performance, creativity and decision-making,” said Jessica Schroeder, 50th SW community support coordinator. “The goal is to improve quality of life for Airmen and help create stronger relationships with their family, friends and co-workers.”

The Integrated Delivery System, otherwise known as Schriever’s “Helping Agencies,” holds meetings to identify issues in the community and develop programs to address them. During the quarterly Community Action Information Board meetings, Schroeder and Helping Agency representatives brief base leadership on any issues or trends across the installation. The IDS develops tactics to help Airmen build resilience.

Currently, Schriever has 20 master resiliency trainers and 23 resilience training assistants. RTAs are responsible for assisting installation MRTs in delivering unit-resilience training.

First Lt. Sarah D’Alessandro, 50th Force Support Squadron Military Personnel Section chief, is one of Schriever’s MRTs. “I have been an MRT since the beginning of this year,” D’Alessandro said. “So far, my experience has been great. I love teaching these skills to Airmen; they soak it up like a sponge. Personally, it’s changed my way of living. Gaining these skills and learning the scientific background behind it has helped me with my quality of life and how I deal with adversity.”

While resilience trainers teach Airmen at the First Term Airman’s Course and units throughout the base year-round, Schriever’s main resilience event is Wingman Day, which takes place twice a year.

“The curriculum the MRTs and RTAs teach was compiled by the Air Force,” Schroeder said. “They are scientific-based tools that help Airmen handle stress better and bounce back from adversity.”

According to Schroeder and D’Alessandro, base members have expressed positive feedback after MRTs and RTAs have taught resilience courses.

“Members can utilize these resiliency skills not only in the work place but at home as well,” D’Alessandro said. “By adapting the various skills Comprehensive Airmen Fitness teaches us, we can utilize them to help us cope with any stressors that we may have in the household or with our families.”

Currently, Schroeder and the Helping Agencies are working toward bringing IDS resources to units.

Schroeder’s goal is to be able to offer resources on the units’ time and in their environment to teach them about finance, healthy relationships, resilience courses and others as they are developed.

“The Resilience Program is important because Airmen are important,” Schroeder said. “We all face challenges that can come in many different forms. These skills are so helpful in being able to not only handle stress, but grow through it, which is an incredible thing.”

For more information on the Resilience Program or Helping Agencies, contact Jessica Schroeder at 567-5726. To learn more about Schriever’s Helping Agencies, call 567- 4357 (HELP).

3-D printing takes wounded warriors to new dimension

By Military Health Systems Communications Office Military Health Systems Communications Office

BETHESDA, Maryland — One wounded warrior wanted to amble around the hotel pool during his honeymoon without strapping on prosthetic legs. Another wanted ice skates to fit snugly onto his prosthetic feet so he’d receive the sensory feedback he’d come to expect when engaging in his favorite pastime. And yet another wanted to hold a fishing rod while enjoying full use of the hook where his hand used to be.

These requests for custom prosthetic attachments were fulfilled by the 3-D Medical Applications Center, or 3DMAC, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. There, a small staff of engineers and technicians use advanced digital technology and additive manufacturing, also known as 3-D printing, to design and produce personalized devices quickly and cost-efficiently.

“We’ve made more than 100 unique devices to enable activities that able-bodied people often take for granted,” said Peter Liacouras, the center’s director of services and a Ph.D. biomedical engineer.

The devices make it easier for amputees to engage in leisure activities they enjoy, Liacouras said, as well as routine things such as drinking a glass of wine or brushing teeth.

Returning to their everyday lives helps wounded warriors overcome the physical and emotional trauma of limb loss, health care experts say.

Part of Walter Reed Bethesda’s radiology department, 3DMAC is located in a small suite of offices and computer rooms tucked behind double doors at the end of a long hallway. Although it’s an unassuming-looking place, what’s happening inside is state-of-the-art. Among the center’s many projects are surgical models to produce custom im-

plants used in dentistry and oral surgery; skull plates for blast injuries; and other models to help surgeons prepare to perform intricate procedures, and to train the next generation of dental and medical professionals.

“We also have several research projects going on,” Liacouras said.

They include 3-D surveying and mapping of the human face to create a digital archive of facial anatomy. This archive could be used to fabricate implants for reconstruction if a service member became disfigured in a blast injury.

“The face is the most complicated region to reconstruct and, of course, it’s what everyone sees every day,” Liacouras

said.

So 3-D printed cellphone and cup holders that attach to wheelchairs or other assistive devices “may sound like they’re on the lower scale of what we do, in terms of importance,” Liacouras said. “But they’re not, because they mean a lot to wounded warriors.”

The center fabricates by request from Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs health care providers. When a request is received, Liacouras usually searches the web to see if the item already exists and can be purchased and adapted. If not, 3-D printing “enables us to create custom devices, making them patient-specific,” he said.

The items are made from plastic or titanium.

The center’s first assistive technology project was “shorty feet” for the honeymoon-bound bilateral amputee, in 2002.

“Wearing full prosthetic legs can be cumbersome and also, the full prosthesis for pool wear are very expensive and not necessarily 100 percent waterproof,” Liacouras said.

He and his team used computer-assisted design to plan the shorty feet, then printed a plastic prototype for a fit test.

They made the permanent pair in titanium alloy.

“They attach to sockets that attach to the stumps,” Liacouras said. “Think of it like walking on your knees.”

And though Liacouras admits “they didn’t fully understand the need at first, the center has produced more than 70 pairs to date.

“They’ve really taken off,” he said, noting wounded warriors like to use them instead of full prosthetic legs if they need to get up after going to bed, and also to play with young children at the little ones’ level. Physical therapists use them to help new patients feel more comfortable and confident about getting up and moving again.

“Whatever our wounded warriors need, we’ll create,” Liacouras said.

5 tips to make healthy habits last Defense Health Agency Communications

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Good habits provide a foundation for positive improvements in your life. However, forming new habits can be challenging. They take time and practice to form.

“A habit is something we do that becomes automatic because we did it many times under the same circumstances,” said Tiffany Milligan, a health psychologist at the Psychological Health Center of Excellence.

We practice good habits every day because of repeated, consistent action with specific context. Context is anything that helps you remember the change you want to make and increases the odds you will do it repeatedly. Once behavior is automatic, it becomes easier to maintain.

For example, when you get into a car you probably reach for a seat belt without realizing it. You most likely buckle up because of repetitive guidance and behavior. Since you may perform this action under the same conditions (while seated in a car before you start driving) many times a day, you eventu-

Good habits provide a foundation for positive improvements in your life. However, forming new habits can be challenging. They take time and practice to form.

ally buckle your seat belt without actively thinking about it.

Use these tips to better create and maintain the habits you want to keep: • Take control of your environment —

Nov. 13, 9-11 a.m.

Schriever Event Center

Keep reminders of your new habit somewhere you will see every day, ideally a place where it will be relatively easy for you to accomplish that behavior.

• Keep it consistent — If possible, make sure your habit occurs under conditions

that will happen on a regular basis. This will help reinforce your new habit.

• Avoid regular rewards — You may feel tempted to promise yourself a treat for following through with a new behavior. However, rewards can be counter-productive to the habit-forming process and undermine your internal motivation.

• Be patient — Better habits won’t form overnight, or even in a week. Give yourself at least two or three months to make the new behavior automatic.

• Be flexible — You may find that you don’t succeed the first time you try to develop a new habit. Rather than blaming yourself for a lack of willpower, consider changing your approach to better accommodate the intended habit. Try moving the activity to a different part of the day or re-arranging where you keep the tools or reminders necessary for that activity. Most importantly, don’t give up.

Remember Thanksgiving safety Schriever Fire Department For most, the kitchen is the heart of the home, especially during the holidays.

From testing family recipes, to decorating cakes and cookies, everyone enjoys being part of the preparations.

Keeping fire safety top of mind in the kitchen during this joyous but hectic time is important, especially when there’s a lot of activity and people at home.

As you start preparing your holiday schedule and organizing a large family feast, remember, by following a few simple safety tips you can enjoy time with your loved ones and keep yourself and your family safer.

Thanksgiving by the numbers

• Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, followed by Christmas Day and Christmas Eve. • In 2015, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,760 home cooking fires on Thanksgiving, the peak day for such fires.

• Unattended cooking was the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths.

• Cooking equipment is involved in 48

17

percent of all reported home fires; tied with heating equipment for the second leading cause of home fire deaths.

Safety tips

• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.

• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check it frequently.

• Keep children away from the stove.

This will be hot and kids should stay three feet away.

• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids.

• Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags.

• Keep knives out of reach of children.

• Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.

• Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children, for example, up high in a locked cabinet.

• Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.

• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.

Enlisted RPA pilot opportunity open for NCOs, SNCO’s

By Kat Bailey Air Force’s Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Noncommissioned and senior noncommissioned officers interested in transferring to the Air Force’s newest enlisted aviation Air Force Specialty Code have until Nov. 15 to submit their applications to meet the next selection board.

More than 800 applicants submitted for the program last year; those who were not selected by the inaugural board are highly encouraged by officials to apply again this cycle.

“This is an opportunity for active-duty Airmen in the ranks of staff sergeantselect through senior master sergeants who meet and complete the application requirements to be considered for the 1U1X1, Enlisted Remotely Piloted Aircraft Pilot, career field,” said Master Sgt. Mark Moore, Career Enlisted Aviator Assignments Manager at the Air Force’s Personnel Center.

Moore stressed that the new AFSC is not part of the formal Air Force Retraining Program, but rather a career opportunity for qualified NCOs to fly the RQ-4 Global Hawk.

“Just like officers from other career fields apply to become pilots, AFPC will conduct annual selection boards every January to select qualified enlisted Airmen for entry into this new, exciting

career field,” he said. “Applicants have no need to be in their retraining window or be concerned about the end date of an overseas assignment.”

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 Moore said is the same scoring system used to select Air Force officer pilots.

Integrating enlisted pilots into RQ-4 Global Hawk flying operations 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.

For more information on the enlisted RPA pilot selection process, visit the active duty enlisted Assignments page on myPers from a CAC-enabled computer, or select “Active Duty Enlisted” from the myPers dropdown menu and search “Enlisted Pilot.”
