Matthew Cork, 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron flight commander, placed first in the 13th annual Schriever triathlon Aug. 4 with a time of 1:13:46.

Cork’s first Schriever triathlon was in 2016, where he finished second.

“Triathlons are challenging as they force participants to pace themselves across three distinct disciplines,” he said. “If you burn up in any one, the rest of the race will prove difficult.”

There were a total of nine participants who completed the competition, and they had the opportunity to compete individually or in a three-person team. Three individuals and two teams competed.

Athletes gathered at the Tierra Vista Community pool for the swim portion of the race. Each competitor had to complete eight laps in the pool, totaling 400 meters.

Next was the 40 kilometer bike See Trifecta page 12

Chance Dobbins, 50 SFS Base Defense Operations Center controller, stand next to equipment used during emergency situations at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Monday, Aug. 7, 2017. August is Anti-terrorist Awareness Month, which is dedicated to spreading awareness and information on anti-terrorist measures for base and individual safety.

By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks changed law enforcement and military personnel’s approach to national security. The 50th Security Forces Squadron was no exception.

August is Anti-Terrorist Awareness Month, during which 50 SFS reminds Schriever to

maintain anti-terrorist measures, as they are just as important today.

For Tad Davis, 50 SFS anti-terrorist program manager, the phrase “no news is good news” holds true.

“We are here to make the base as difficult as a target as possible,” Davis said. “We make sure we are meeting all safety requirements,

arrange meetings for and do what we need to do to make sure there are no threats.”

Unlike counter terrorism measures, which more aggressively pursue links to terrorism and employ offensive measures, anti-terrorism focuses on the defense. Davis See Awareness page 11

21st Space Operations Squadron, Detachment 3 commander

America’s Air Force is the smallest it has been since its inception; however, despite downsizing, operations tempo remains high, and Airmen and civilian counterparts are shouldering the burden of an ever-increasing workload.

To meet the high operations demand while sustaining force readiness, the Air Force leveraged technology which allowed certain functions to automate. As a result, automation afforded the units some relief and facilitated realignment of its most valued resource to areas deemed critical.

Unfortunately, automation alone is not enough to master the increasing workload.

Another solution-set is to alter the force composition.

Compared to the U.S. Army Air Corps’ large military population, today’s Air Force demographic is very distinct from its past.

Our Air Force today has a diverse warfighting force, consisting of military, federal civilians and contractors.

The aim was to assign uniformed personnel to must-fill, inherently military, critical positions, while federal civilians serve as continuity for the unit, and contractors are used as gap-fillers. With the successful integration of a multifaceted workforce, it allowed the Air Force to find balance between global obligations and readiness.

The Air Force’s rebalancing effort worked to meet mission requirements, and it could

not have been done without creative thinking.

Innovation seems to be the buzzword to use, an indelible key ingredient to ensuring the Air Force meets the demands of today and stays ahead of rapidly evolving impending challenges. To innovate, we need people that are change agents, dedicated to their professions, willing to take calculable risks and undeterred in the face of insurmountable obstacles.

In spite of overwhelming challenges, Airmen, both past and present, have demonstrated time and time again we can meet

operational and support functions within the prescribed timeline and conditions.

At every organizational level, blue-suiters, federal civilians and contractors have steppedup, discovered efficiencies through innovation and completed the mission.

Case in point, the men and women of Detachment 3, 21st Space Operations Squadron, have displayed tremendous resourcefulness under adverse conditions. This year, call sign HULA experienced a myriad of infrastructure challenges. One of the biggest to date is a recent waterline break which required urgent measures to sustain quality of life at the site and keep operations running.

During the event, Det. 3’s civil service and military personnel quickly-rigged handwash stations using only the tools and materials on hand, deployed hand sanitizers, contracted portable restrooms and bottled water within days of the waterline break.

Additionally, they worked with community partners such as federal and state fire departments for non-potable water supply to keep the storage tanks at appropriate level for fire suppression activities and other contingency events. Contract operators supported satellite contacts and provided uninterrupted operations to mission partners. Interim fix actions were quickly coordinated to secure funding and expeditiously executed.

Each person provided unique solution sets and collectively worked as a team to meet mission requirements, and simultaneously sustain a favorable work environment. No one complained and everyone knew what they See Innovation page 4

All Airmen should practice pride, professionalism

By Staff Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

The Air Force core values of integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do, are drilled into Airmen from day one.

While a concept all Airmen are familiar with, one of Schriever’s professional development organizations president’s feels it’s a good idea to occasionally take one of the core values, in this case integrity first, and apply it to cleanliness of the base and work spaces.

“It’s important to have integrity, pride and professionalism in all we do,” said Master Sgt. Brady Warren, Air Force Sergeant’s Association chapter 1182 president. “Perception is reality. So, what somebody sees is what they believe. If they come by your squadron and there’s trash everywhere, that’s what they’re going to think your work ethic is. Make sure your appearance shows a reflection of who you are.”

Warren added cleanliness and doing the right thing are individual Airman responsibilities.

“It starts at the Airman level, and we are all Airmen,” Warren said. “It’s our Air Force. We shouldn’t have to be told what to do and how to do it. You know what’s right and wrong. When you see a problem like trash on the ground, instead of coming up with complaints, it’s a lot quicker and faster to just pick it up and be done with it.”

While an individual responsibility, Warren stressed the importance of non-commissioned officers and supervisors setting the example.

“Airmen are always watching,” Warren said. “We NCOs need to always lead by example. If you see a piece of paper or trash, you don’t want to walk by that because that looks foul on you. Take the time; stop for a second. It’s not much time out of your day to pick up trash and throw it away.”

One person on the front lines of building maintenance and cleanliness is Stephen Cooper, 50th Contracting Squadron, quality assurance manager and 50th Space Wing headquarters facility manager.

“I taught facility management and worked as a facility manager during my Air Force career, so it’s something I am very familiar with and passionate about,” Cooper said.

“It allows me to get around and meet a lot of folks in our facility on a daily basis, all the while looking for things that I may be able to correct in our facility.”

Cooper praised the general cleanliness of his building’s atrium, which serves as a hub for Airmanship 300 graduations, information booths and other events. However, he also identified areas where application of pride and professionalism can improve building upkeep across all of Schriever.

“A common area of concern is the restroom areas in our facilities,” Cooper said. “As money has been diverted to

needed to do. Similar to what big Air Force has done in recent years to meet mission requirements and thrive, HULA has innovated in unprecedented ways.

Whether they are blue-suiters, federal civilians or contractors, Airmen represent the best and brightest of

higher priority mission requirements over the years, we have had to de-scope some of our custodial services, unfortunately. With custodial services being performed, in an outstanding manner three times per week in most facilities, my opinion is that folks need to do whatever they can in order to maintain cleanliness and help project a sense of pride and professionalism in their facilities, work centers and the base in general.”

“Owning your space” is a concept both Warren and Cooper emphasized.

“It’s important to take pride in anything you own,” Warren said. “You want to take responsibility for things that are under your control. Don’t be that person that adds to or walks by an overflowing trashcan. Own the things that are yours and make sure it looks good.”

Warren said attention to detail and cleanliness can tie directly into unit funding.

our nation. Likewise, HULA has no shortage of leaders and innovators. They are coordinating with support and mission partners for unique options and exploring outside-the-box methods to yield sustainable solutions.

Throughout the ranks, HULA personnel believe they are valued members of Det. 3, and they are. There is a strong sense of belonging and pride therefore, it’s not surprising that morale and esprit de corps are high.

Without a doubt, the steadfast commitment and bulldog tenacity to innovate will lead to success, and all the

“We only have so much funding,” Warren said. “We’ve got a lot of multi-billion dollar resources that the government pays for. Budgets are limited to what we can get and you want to take care of what you have. There’s an old saying, ‘take care of what you got or you’re going to lose it.’ If we aren’t taking care of what we are given, funding will go down and we’ll get less and less resources to affect the mission.”

Cooper identified some best practices units can adopt to help keep their and the wing’s positive image intact.

“My experience is that folks should perform good housekeeping practices in their work centers by taking out their trash on a daily basis,” Cooper said. “This not only reduces the chance of rodents coming into your facility, it should be a common courtesy to keep food and debris odors out of the work centers. I tell people to just help with whatever they can, working as a team to help keep our home away from home as clean and professional looking as possible.”

The test identifies the minimum energy your body needs to support its basic psychological functions.

By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Whether someone decides to start a new exercise program, train for a marathon or work toward reaching fitness goals, the Schriever Health Promotions Program has a number of tools to help the Schriever community stay fit and healthy.

Previously known as the Health and Wellness Center, HPP offers a variety of classes including smoking cessation intervention, healthy sleep habits, dominate your weight and stress management.

“Our mission is to ensure Team Schriever receives the proper tools and education to lead healthy lives,” said Peggy Diaz de Leon, Schriever HPP coordinator. “HPP is the umbrella of everything that is healthy.”

Diaz de Leon has goals to expand the program even more in the coming months.

“I really would like to incorporate more classes to HPP

as well as start some of the ones that have gone away over time,” she said. “If we start cooking classes to inform people how to meal prep, I believe it will sink in for them. It’s a slow process, but I am working on the steps to improve the program.”

In addition to the classes, HPP offers the Bod Pod and Resting Metabolic Rate tests.

The Bod Pod is a body composition test that uses air displacement to calculate body density and body fat. The test requires users to not exercise nor eat two hours prior to testing and wear compression gear for accurate results.

“I’ve always wanted to use the Bod Pod,” said Staff Sgt. James Porter, 50th Security Forces Squadron trainer. “I’ve used it once and I plan on using it again to track my progress.

If you want your own fitness regimen and want to know where you’re at, it’s a wonderful tool to individualize your fitness parameters.”

According to the National Institute for Fitness and Sport, the Bod Pod is considered to be the “gold standard” of body composition measurement. It is as accurate as hydrostatic (underwater) weighing, but quicker and easier to perform.

HPP also has a Resting Metabolic Rate test, which tells you the minimum energy in calories that your body needs to support its basic psychological functions.

Anyone with base access is able to attend classes and complete assessments.

“I don’t think many people are aware of all the services HPP provides,” Diaz de Leon said. “I would love to see more Airmen and their families take advantage of all we have to offer. Being able to educate others on sleep, nutrition and exercise and how they all coordinate together is something I love to do.”

UPDATE: DMSP F-19 to end mission

By Jennifer Thibault 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SUITLAND, Md. — The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Flight 19 will soon cease transmitting weather data after nearly three and a half years of operational service to DoD and civilian agencies.

On Feb. 11, 2016, operators lost the ability to command the satellite following a power failure within the command and control system. Since that time the satellite has provided tactical data to field units but has not provided full orbit weather imagery to the 557th Weather Wing, Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, and the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center, Monterey, California.

The DMSP operations team has remained in regular contact with the vehicle and continued to monitor telemetry since the February 2016 incident. However, the team acknowledged a loss of attitude control was unavoidable due to the inability to command. Once the satellite loses attitude control it will begin to tumble, causing the power system to deplete and all satellite transmissions to cease. The tumble is predicted to occur late next month. The Joint Space Operations Center will track the satellite and provide conjunction warnings if required.

There is no impact to the strategic weather mission, and the DMSP constellation remains

History Quiz Week of August 10, 2017

able to support warfighter requirements through resilient systems and processes. The remainder of the constellation continues to provide weather and atmospheric data to users as it has for the past five decades.

DMSP F-19 was launched in April 2014.

From operational acceptance in June 2014 to February 2016, the satellite provided thousands of hours of weather imagery to the 557 WW, the FNMOC and the National Weather Service, Silver Spring, Maryland.

While space-based weather assets were originally launched and operated by the U.S. Air Force, a 1994 presidential directive realigned primary command and control of DMSP under the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The DMSP constellation is operated by a coalition of mission partners consisting of the NOAA Office of Satellite and Product Operations and the 50th Operations Group Detachment 1, both located in Suitland, Maryland.

Specifically the 50th Operations Group, Detachment 1, a component of the 50th Operations Group from Schriever Air Force Base, Colo., has Satellite Control Authority and delegates nominal day-to-day operations to the NOAA DMSP operators. A backup operations center, operated by the Air Force Reserve’s 6th Space Operations Squadron, is located at Schriever AFB, Colorado.

Last week’s question and answer: The 50th Mission Support Group and some if its squadrons have served with the 50th Space Wing since 1953. Name one of the group’s squadrons that do not share that distinction.

Either the 50th Force Support Squadron (1989) or the 50th Contracting Squadron (1995) would be acceptable. They are the most recent units to join the 50th Mission Support Group.

This week’s question: On what date did Air Force Space Command rename the 50th Communications Group as the 50th Network Operations Group?

Bonus: When was the 50th Network Operations Group first activated?

Diversity day to bring big changes By 2nd Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Team Schriever and their families will have the opportunity to learn about and enjoy showcased cultures, and for the first time, the specialty talents of Schriever Airmen for Diversity Day, Aug. 18.

Ed Vaughn, 50th Space Wing Equal Opportunity director, has been watching and working on the growth of the Diversity Day program since it’s inception in 2008.

“There’s definitely been an evolution of the program,” Vaughn said. “But it’s at its best now.”

Each year, the program has had variants in performances and representation, coordinated to best speak to Schriever audiences, and this year is no exception.

“We’re trying to expand (the program) to diversity in a broader term,” said Zachary Probasco, Human Resources specialist. “In addition to doing all the cultural stuff, we’ve tried to open it up to show what unique talents people here at Schriever have.

“It’s easy to hear about that stuff and dismiss it because it’s separate from what we do here in the military,” he continued. “But when ‘Airman Jones’ teaches a certain class about something and you have a face to put with it, it makes it more personal and real.”

Another way this year’s Diversity Day is changing to fit the needs of Schriever members and their families is by formatting events, games, food and classes showcased.

“There’s going to be a (sheet) that goes out to the base for everyone to sign-up for classes,” Probasco said.

There are about 15 classes available, all scheduled to start 9:30 a.m. and slotted to take place over two hours.

“Everybody is going to disperse to their classes, and then we’re going to reconvene around lunch time over in the IRT (Indoor Running Track) to enjoy booths, food and a bunch of other stuff,” Probasco said.

Approximately 10-12 booths will be manned with representatives, along with food samples associated with that culture. Some of the represented cultures will include Japanese, Brazilian, West African, Puerto Rican and Filipino, with much more to see and learn.

“It’s a great outreach opportunity for us to stay con-

nected, for Schriever to stay connected with the community,” Vaughn said. “As well as base housing folks to be able to come out and experience what their military members are actually learning and experiencing as well.”

Vaughn and Probasco want as many people to attend as possible, believing there to be something for each and

every person to learn, enjoy and apply to life.

“If you know about the cultures that are out there, it doesn’t just benefit you, it benefits everyone around you,” Vaughn said.

If you would like to participate or volunteer, or have questions about the event, contact Capt. Kara Jarvis at 567-4667.

Awareness

“Everybody’s a sensor — you are part of the force protection too. If you see something; say something,” said Master Sgt. Brady Warren, 50 SFS flight sergeant. “If you see something out of the ordinary in your workspace or on base, please call us so we can go check it out.”

Examples of things to look out for are unattended bags, civilian cars driving near the fence line and anyone appearing to conduct surveillance not in uniform. Warren added that while it is up for trained security personnel to determine if the thing or incident is suspicious, every call is important.

“I would rather go a hundred times a day to something that results in nothing than miss that one incident that turned out to be something important,” Warren said.

For Anti-terrorism Awareness Month, the largest prevention measure is to ensure the base populace is on the watch for possible threats.

“Anti-terrorism is very important; it is everybody’s responsibility,” Warren said. “When we work together, we are all a lot safer.”

From page 1 and anti-terrorism personnel conduct vulnerability assessments, special event assessments, check fence lines, barriers and infrastructure.

“We check entry procedures, cyber protection barriers; the overall security of the installation,” Davis said. “Antiterrorism is a defensive measure — everything we do is preventive.”

Commanders too are engaged regularly to assess threats and make decisions to mitigate them. Schriever’s anti-terrorist program includes a threat working group panel, which consist of Office of Special Investigations, security forces, emergency personnel and other agencies that gather together to assess a threat and make recommendations as well as an anti-terrorist executive committee, chaired by the wing commander.

However, Airmen, regardless of rank, are expected to practice awareness for the safety of the base.

Matthew Triplett, 50th Operations Support Squadron, took off for the 40 kilometer bike portion of the triathlon at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Friday, Aug. 4, 2017. Triplett competed individually, and finished with an overall time of 1:34:14.

Roberto Molineros, 50th Space Communications Squadron satellite control operator (right), and Justin Halterman, 4th Space Operations Squadron first sergeant (left), compete side-by-side in the 400 meter swim portion of the triathlon at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 4, 2017. The triathlon also consisted of a bike and run.

Trifecta From page 1 around the base perimeter, where the two three-man teams swapped out competitors. Finally, the competition ended with a 5 kilometer run.

Seth Cannello, 50th Force Support Squadron fitness center director, was concerned about the quality of the course because of the rain.

“The route was very wet and muddy Wednesday when I inspected the course,” Cannello said. “However, it didn’t rain as hard as predicted, so the route wasn’t too bad. We normally take participants around the entire base perimeter, but I decided to do an out and back on the east side of the base this year due to standing water on the west side.”

Cannello continued to say he appreciated all the help the 50th Civil Engineering Squadron provided in preparation for the triathlon.

“They put down some dirt and sand in a couple of bad areas, which really helped,” he said. “I also appreciated 50 CES spraying for mosquitos before the event. The mosquitos have been a problem around the housing area, running track and base perimeter, but they weren’t really an issue.”

Allen LeVie, 50th Operations Group first sergeant, competed as part of a team, along with Justin Halterman, 4th Space Operations Squadron first sergeant and Joseph Hardy, 50th Network Operations Group first sergeant, who finished first in the team category with a time of 1:25:35.

LeVie decided to sign up for the event after his friends convinced him.

“Two other crazy people said ‘hey, let’s do this,’” he said.

This was LeVie’s first triathlon, and he took on the running portion of the event.

“I just run as part of the Air Force physical training program,” he said.

“It’s just another way to stay fit.”

Ethan Peters, 50th Space Communications Squadron operations flight supervisor, competed as part of a team with Steven Mathews, 50 SCS chief enlisted manager, and Roberto Molineros, 50 SCS satellite control operator, who finished second in the team category with a time of 1:28:34.

“It’s my first triathlon, and so far, I’m nailing the chair portion,” Peters said as he waited for his teammate to finish the biking portion.

“It’s just something to do,” he said.

“Running is my hobby.”

Cannello said participants seemed to enjoy themselves, but hopes for a better turnout next year.

“I think they were appreciative of the opportunity,” he said. “I understand it’s hard to break away from work, but in my opinion, these events can really motivate participants to improve their health and increase mental well-being.”

Cork echoed Cannello’s sentiment.

“These 50th Force Support Squadron events have been a bright spot for me here at Schriever, and I would love to see increased participation in these events as I know there are some competitive folks out there,” he said.

“Our events are always free, and I would encourage anyone considering paying for a race to attempt one of our events before they sign up for an event downtown,” Cannello added.

The next race will be the annual half marathon, Oct. 6. To sign up, call 567-6658.

Minuteman III launches from Vandenberg 30th Space Wing Public Affairs VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — An unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile was launched during an operational test at 2:10 a.m., PDT, here Aug. 2.

Col. Michael Hough, 30th Space Wing commander, was the launch decision authority.

“The seamless partnership of Team V and our Air Force Global Strike Command mission partners has resulted in another safe Minuteman III operational test launch,” said Hough. “This combined team of the 90th Missile Wing, 576th Flight Test Squadron and 30th Space Wing is simply outstanding. Their efforts over the past few months show why they are among the most skilled operators in the Air Force.”

Back to school season is here. The 50th Space Wing Safety Office advises Airmen and their families to be aware of their surroundings and abide by school bus stop signs and school zone speed limits.

Increase safety awareness as school begins

By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

With the school year approaching, the 50th Space Wing Safety Office is advocating for increased safety awareness in a time parents and their children can expect early mornings, packed lunches and hectic schedules.

“Use risk management for both yourself and your child,” said Staff Sgt. Morris Thomas, 50 SW Safety Office occupational safety manager. “Be the change; observe and report and push the safety culture.”

The school season brings unique traffic considerations such as reduced speed limits in designated school zones, higher traffic flow around school areas during morning and evening hours and the increased presence of school buses — which come with their own set of safety rules.

“If you are on a two-way undivided road, and you see a school bus stop sign come out, that is now a legal stop sign — for both traffic coming towards the bus and behind the bus,” Thomas said. “You also have to yield to the young pedestrians crossing the road or getting on the bus.”

The only exception to stopping for a bus in Colorado is if the driver is approaching the bus from the opposite

TA ON BASE A ION T A T S WORK

direction on a road with a painted line for turning or with a median; however, drivers are still required to use caution near the bus.

“Pay attention like you always should,” Thomas said.

“Put your phones down. Keep your eyes on the road at all times — if you absolutely have to use a cellular device, make sure it is hands free.”

Safety Personnel recommend protective gear such as reflective backpacks, helmets and shoes that light up add an extra layer of protection for children.

“I recommend parents get something that can easily make them seen on the road,” Thomas said. “Anything that can be used to light them up — it may not look all that cool, but we would rather have our kids come home safe.”

Along with parents, children should be knowledgeable in safety as well. Safety personnel recommend all parents teach their children safety precautions for their own protection.

Lessons like looking both ways before crossing the road and the importance of never riding with strangers are some of the things Maj. Lisa Case, DMOC-S advanced training deputy chief, tells her three children.

“I always tell them to look both ways, wear helmets and listen to their teachers,” Case said.

For ON BASE EMERGENCIES When Not At A Work Station

The school season brings in a busy schedule for Case and other families.

“Back to school time is always hectic, traffic is busy; you have to fall back in the routine of things,” she said.

“Keeping the kids safe and secure is most important.”

To increase safety awareness, Thomas and safety office personnel distribute a monthly “DELTA-V” news bulletin to unit safety representatives which highlights the office’s safety programs and events, and provides excerpts of safety information. This month’s bulletin features back to school safety.

“To be the DELTA-V means that everyone from E-1 to O-10 is responsible for safety,” Thomas said. “To be the change in the unit. The bulletin pushes out some of the major campaigns the National Safety Council is doing, such as back to school and distracted driving.

We send it to them (unit safety representatives) and they down channel it to their people.”

Airmen and their families who wish to seek further information about the wing’s safety office programs and events, as well as learn more about safety in general, can call the office at 567-SAFE (7233).

“The last thing we want to hear about is our kids getting hurt,” Thomas said. “Spare no expense for your kid’s protection. If you have any questions, contact us.”

AF senior leaders unveil new priorities

Airmen can now manage life insurance online

By Richard Salomon Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

U.S. Air Force/graphic

By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs WASHINGTON — In a recent letter to the Total Force, Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright released their new priorities and addressed issues Airmen face day to day.

“For more than 70 years, our fellow Americans have asked you to be the sentinels of air and space for the nation, and you continue to deliver unmatched air and space power every day,” the leaders said. “Looking forward, our obligations to the country will never change. We will always lead and support the joint force in defending our homeland, owning the high ground and projecting power with our allies.”

As the demands for Air Force capabilities continue to increase, the senior leaders established the follow-

ing priorities to ensure the Air Force is always able to answer the nation’s call and win: • Restore readiness … to win any fight, any time.

• Cost-effectively modernize … to increase the lethality of the force.

• Drive innovation … to secure our future.

• Develop exceptional leaders … to lead the world’s most powerful teams.

• Strengthen our alliancess … because we are stronger together.

“Everything we do as a team should advance or augment these priorities,” they continued. “Each and every one of our Total Force Airmen has a role to play in making us successful in this endeavor. We will prevail through the power of our people. You and your families represent the absolute best of our nation. We are humbled to lead our great Air Force and honored to serve with you every day.”

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Airmen no longer need paper forms to manage their Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance, thanks to the new SGLI Online Enrollment System, or SOES. SGLI provides automatic life insurance coverage of $400,000 to service members when they enter the service. Members with SGLI also get automatic coverage for their dependent children and non-military spouses under the Family SGLI program.

Notification emails containing the SOES link and other helpful information will be sent out to Total Force Airmen on their birthday month reminding them to update their SGLI information.

Total Force Airmen who are deploying, separating and retiring (including those on the permanent disability retired list and the temporary disability retirement list) should update their elections and coverages before out processing. They can log into SOES using their common access card or Department of Defense self-service, or DS Logon.

“This new system gives total force Airmen with fulltime SGLI coverage the ability to make online changes to their insurance and beneficiary information at any time without having to complete a paper form or visit their military personnel flight,” said Lt. Col. Gerald Cullens, the Air National Guard advisor for force management integration at the Pentagon.

Veterans Affairs has been working with the Department of Defense, Defense Manpower Data Center, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and the military services to develop the new system.

Transitioning from the paper-based system to the electronic process is expected to save the DoD about $12 million a year by reducing errors and overpayments.

SOES also helps to eliminate unclear designations and missing or incomplete forms.

SOES is available through DMDC’s milConnect web application at www.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect. After signing in, click on “SOES” under the “Benefits” tab.

The VA website under Life Insurance http://www.benefits.va.gov/insurance/sgli.asp has more information.

Airmen can also visit myPers, select “Any” from the dropdown menu and enter “SOES” in the search menu.
