Hermann began his career as an F-16 avionics technician with the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing at Hahn Air Base, Germany, in 1988. In May, he will retire from the 50th SW after 30 years of Air Force service.

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

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Late one evening in 1988, an airman basic F-16 avionics technician tinkered with the electronics systems in the cockpit of the jet fighter at the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing, Hahn Air Base, Germany.

Wiping the sweat from his brow with the sleeve of his fatigues, he paused to gaze up into a starry night sky, contemplating how fortunate he was to have the job he had. He had no way of knowing the realm of space would be where he would end his career 30 years later.

Set to retire in May, Lt. Col. Scott Hermann, chief of safety, 50th Space Wing, has the rare

distinction of living the wing’s history. The 50th TFW was inactivated in 1991 and redesignated as the 50th SW in 1992.

“At that time, the 50th was an F-16 wing,” Hermann said. “We still had the Cold War mission. For perspective, this was before the Berlin Wall came down.”

It’s the New Year and it’s a good time to how you have been professionally developing yourself. Is there a gap in you or your subordinate’s professional development? What do you want to accomplish this year to make yourself a better professional?

CSMNG CSMNGProfessional development is the responsibility of every Airman — military or civilian. There are many possibilities to help you develop professionally.

I’m not talking about a degree like the Community College of the Air Force or a bachelor’s degree, but other opportunities that enhance or build-on a skill you already have. Or, start a new skill you’ve always been interested in doing, but didn’t know how to get started.

If you’re feeling stagnant in your development and unsure of the opportunities available to you, seek out the career assistance advisor, civilian personnel office, or talk to your supervisor. You can always log onto various websites available on the Air Force Portal.

Sometimes, it’s hard to pull together all the available resources to help narrow down the options that will enhance your skills or push you to learn a new skill.

Below is a list of some of those training opportunities: 1. Air Force e-Learning 2. Professional Manager’s Certification 3. Senior Enlisted Joint Professional Military COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

Airmen from the 50th Operations Support Squadron gather in front of Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado, Colorado Springs, Colorado, Jan. 29, 2018. The volunteers donated a total of 122 man hours sorting more than 11,000 pounds of food for needy families throughout the state.

Schriever Airmen give back in a big way

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

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — ­ Thirty-five Airmen from the 50th Operations Support Squadron sorted 11,500 pounds of food destined for needy families at Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado Jan. 29.

While Schriever Airmen giving back to the local community is common, groups of this size are uniquely appreciated by the food bank.

“It’s a huge impact,” said Joanna Wise, marketing and communications director, CSFBSC. “To give perspective, they organized and sorted 9,000 meals that will be distributed throughout Southern Colorado.”

According to the nonprofit organization’s website, Care and Share’s mission is to ensure that one in eight Southern

Coloradans at risk of hunger have access to enough healthy and nutritious food to thrive. They are one of hundreds of charitable organizations underneath the umbrella of the Combined Federal Campaign.

The event’s organizer, Staff Sgt. Yakov Kim, staff instructor, 50th OSS, said the idea came to him after a previous smaller scale experience at the food bank.

“I had so much fun the last time I helped here, I thought we could really make a big difference if we could get some bigger numbers,” he said.

The idea spread like wildfire throughout the unit and Kim soon found himself with more than 30 volunteers.

“When I explained to people what this is, they understood it is winter time and not knowing where your next meal is coming from would be awful,” he said. “The event wasn’t

mandatory. Everyone was there out of the goodness of their hearts. This was an opportunity to fix an immediate need.”

The “need” manifested itself in the form of two seven-foot tall containers filled with 3,000 pounds of potatoes each. Staff Sgt. Brandon Gendron, course manager, 50th OSS, was one of the volunteers who helped sort them.

“There were all those potatoes and then boxes and boxes of oranges,” Gendron said. “And it only took us three hours.

A lot of places like Care and Share aren’t necessarily staffed to sort all the donations into individual packages. So, volunteers are critical.”

In addition to putting food on the table for hungry families, Kim pointed out a secondary goal.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

5

Recognize signs, stay alert

By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — ­ Human trafficking is defined as when someone is forced, coerced or tricked into working for the profit of someone else, primarily as a prostitute.

In 2017, 4,460 human trafficking cases were reported in the United States, according to the Human Trafficking Hotline website.

The Schriever Air Force Base Sexual Assault Response and Prevention program helps ensure Airmen and their families stay safe, alert and aware of the dangers of human trafficking.

“It can start as simple as chatting online or texting with a potential friend or future partner,” said Paula Krause, 50th Space Wing Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and program manager, SAPR. “The online ‘friend’ may ask to see a compromising photo the ‘friend’ may later use to blackmail them into unsafe situations.”

Cecilia Smith, victim advocate, SAPR, said she often has to have conversations with her grandkids about the dangers of gaming online.

“They think they are playing and talking with their ‘friends,’ but they don’t really know each other,” she added.

Krause and Smith stressed the importance of having conversations with children about the dangers of the internet.

“You don’t want to alienate your kids but you want to keep them safe and make sure you know what they’re doing, so if there are red flags, you can address them,” Krause said.

Both Krause and Smith suggest monitoring apps and websites children are using, and know who they are speaking to on a daily basis.

“It’s our job as parents to protect our children,” Krause said. “Kids are naïve and new to engaging others online, they don’t know what dangers are out there.”

Smith added military life can often be a source of danger when it comes to human trafficking and cyber threats.

“We as military move around a lot which can make friends more rare and more coveted and those met online potentially more dangerous,” Smith said.

Krause added Schriever Airmen can be blackmail targets too.

“Airmen can caught up in internet scams where they think they’re harmlessly chatting with someone who they later find out is underage,” she added. “This can be a tactic to put Airmen in a compromising position traffickers can exploit.”

Danielle Hayes, special agent, Detachment 807, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, said human trafficking is not common in the Air Force, and the OSI office at Schriever has not seen any cases of human trafficking to date, but the threat remains.

“If there was a case, we would absolutely reach out to the victim to ensure the appropriate resources are provided to them,” she said.

Hayes provided a list of red flags to be aware of, highlighted below.

• Working with or being friends with someone who works excessively long or unusual hours.

• Someone who is not allowed breaks or works under unusual restrictions at work.

• Owes large debts and are unable to pay them off.

• Owns a residence or lives in a residence with high-security measures like opaque windows, bars on windows, security cameras etc.

• Someone who appears malnourished, avoids eye contact, shows signs of physical/sexual abuse.

• Someone who is fearful of the discussion of law enforcement, and in general has numerous inconsistencies in daily stories.

The Air Force has zero tolerance for trafficking in persons.

Combat trafficking in persons aims to educate military members on the seriousness of this crime, impact on the military and the results in terms of human tragedy.

Smith is the coordinator for CTIP at Schriever, educating Airmen on this worldwide problem.

She emphasized the importance of reporting any suspicious activity to the chain of command.

“Just be aware that human trafficking is out there and it’s real, especially in Colorado,” Smith said.

Should any Airmen come across signs of someone who may be human-trafficked, or involved with human trafficking, contact AFOSI at 567-5049 to file an official report.

Contact the SARC for more information about the CTIP program at 567-7272.

Airmen From page 4 “Schriever is a little out of the way,” Kim said. “To form stronger bonds with our community, we have to make an effort to get out there and say, ‘hey, we’re here, we appreciate you and we want to give back.”’

Wise agreed.

“We have such a great partnership,” she said. “Our Air Force members already do so much for our country so for them to take the extra step and give back locally … there’s nothing more inspiring. It really does make a difference. It’s so much more than food.”

Additionally, the volunteers took advantage of the opportunity to form bonds and strengthen relationships among themselves.

“It was super competitive,” Kim said. “We had music going. We were trash-talking each other as to which group was going to get through their potato bin first.”

Gendron concurred.

“It was so much fun to go as a group, take our uniforms off and just be family representing Schriever,” he said. “It was a strong bonding experience. We were laughing, making jokes and having a good time.”

The 50th OSS puts concerted effort into creating synergy between giving back to the community and bonding amongst themselves.

“Our squadron is primarily made up of instructors,” Kim said. “It gives us leeway to be creative in perhaps staying longer one day so we can leave earlier the next day and volunteer somewhere.”

Kim shared his advice for anyone looking to volunteer in Colorado Springs.

“Find a charity you’re passionate about, contact them well in advance and get a feel for what they need,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be a large group. Any one person can make a difference.”

527th SAS: Preparing warfighters now, into the future

By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — On the far southwest end of Schriever Air Force Base is an operations warehouse known as ‘the Barn,’ where members replicate live GPS and satellite communication electronic attacks for training service members across the world.

It is the home of the 527th Space Aggressor Squadron.

The 527th SAS relies on its total force integration to get the mission done, which includes 26th Space Aggressor Squadron Reserve personnel. The 527th SAS stood up as the first space aggressor unit in 2000, while the 26th SAS activated in 2003.

The history of the space aggressors traces back to the Vietnam War, when they were established to address aircrew training deficiencies.

“During that time, there were unsatisfactory kill rates in the air domain,” said Capt. Brian Goodman, training flight commander, 527th SAS. “Adversaries were shooting down too many aircraft, especially compared to past successes. They realized they were executing so poorly in air-to-air combat because pilots were not exposed to adversaries’ techniques and capabilities.”

Thus the evolution of the air aggressors. As the Air Force’s mission portfolio grew, the aggressor program grew toward space, which is now known as the space aggressors.

“We narrow our mission down to ‘know, teach, replicate,” said Maj. Sheri Lattemore, a Canadian service member and director of operations, 527th SAS. “We know and understand all the realistic and relevant threats and we teach those threats to different training audiences.”

“The 527th SAS has three mission sets which involve GPS electronic attack, satellite communications electronic attack and orbital engagement systems,” she added.

“GPS electronic attack is when we put noise over the GPS signal so nobody can receive the signal on their receivers. We do the same thing for satellite communications; however, we will send our signal to the satellite itself so communication on the satellite is no longer possible.

For orbital engagement systems, we are play the role of the adversary against satellites.”

These tactics are engaged as part of military training exercises isolated to controlled environments. At no time do aggressors use these tactics outside of coordinated and approved exercises.

To best prepare for the challenges they may face, the aggressors have an intelligence flight whose entire function is to research adversaries' capabilities, weapons

systems, limitations and how they're going to employ those systems. The flight coordinates with the intelligence community to gather information.

The 527th SAS then conducts the teaching and replication part of their mission with the warfighters, including the Air Force, sister services, allies and coalition partners.

“In the summer of 2016, we created a memorandum of agreement with the U.S. Army, then followed by the U.S. Navy,” Lattemore said. “We train them to do our mission, with the intent of creating their own aggressor units.

“We plan to have Canadians visit us in March to absorb as much information as they possibly can start their own GPS electronic attack unit,” she added. “Over the years I have been here, I’ve learned a lot about the policies and procedures, but also how to create an aggressor unit.

We want to show them they can provide this training in Canada too.”

On a year-round basis, the squadron participates in various exercises. The 527th SAS gathers intelligence and provides relevant and realistic training for the warfighters that helps enhance their situational awareness regarding adversary space systems. Currently, the space aggressors are participating in RED FLAG at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

During those exercises, the 527th SAS conducts adversarial tactics including jamming satellite communications and GPS receivers in an attempt to teach warfighters the effects of the adversaries' weapon systems. The friendly forces then attempt to identify and mitigate the problems associated with these effects.

“For exercises, we work closely with the 26th SAS,” Lattemore said. “We support three RED FLAGS a year as well as weapons school integration, which is twice a year.”

According to Capt. Nathaniel Lee, assistant to the flight commander for aggressor weapons and tactics, 527th SAS, the squadron is developing a threat replication program from the ground up, to be finalized this April. He explained the need for space aggressors is increasing because adversaries are always developing new capabilities.

Lee reflected on what it means to be a part of the squadron.

“We hear a lot in Air Force Space Command about the looming threat of combat in space,” he said.

“Understanding the threats and developing tactics are centered on the aggressors. Knowing the space community is getting that out of this small organization is something we take a lot of pride in.”

Hermann, who is set to retire in May, has the rare distinction of starting and ending his career with the 50th SW while it had different names and different missions.

I am Schreiver From page 1 Working on avionics was the first star in Hermann’s career orbit, a job he thoroughly enjoyed.

“Avionics is great from a job satisfaction standpoint because it’s very immediate,” he said. “A jet comes in broken; you fix it and you see it fly away and do another sortie. I love that.

As a young man, I couldn’t believe the Air Force was letting me work on multimillion-dollar aircraft.”

It’s been said before the only constant in the military is change, and Hermann, assigned to the 313th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, was about to find that out when the Gulf War kicked-off in 1990.

“The 10th AMU went first,” he said. “I was on their aircraft generation team and helped get them out to the United Arab Emirates. Later, I deployed as an enroute support team to Spain.”

It was there Hermann would meet his future wife, Galynn, a KC-135 avionics technician, deployed out of Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. Their romance quickly blossomed, both Airmen unsure as to where it would lead.

Uncertainty loomed large on multiple fronts. Hahn was shutting down. Meaning, while the United States was winning a war, Hermann was losing his home station.

“I had no idea where I was going when I got back,” he said.

“Galynn went back to Tinker and I arrived home to a special assignments team, which determined my next location was Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.”

Hermann and Galynn made the relationship work, marrying in 1993. Hermann decided at this point to switch Air Force Specialty Codes to Aerospace Medicine in order to increase the chances of him and Galynn being stationed together.

“The most rewarding part was the opportunity to receive the education,” Hermann said. “I love science, physiology and anatomy. Also, working in the hospital in the Air Force is a totally different world. There’s a much more civilian feel to it.”

Galynn earned her commission in 1999 and gave birth to their son Jeffery in February, 2001. Two weeks later, Hermann departed for Officer Training School and technical training, separating the family for the next 14 months.

Galynn was the commissioning officer at Hermann’s graduation.

“It was a very proud moment,” she said. “We both worked really hard to earn our commissions and it was an honor for me to conduct his ceremony.”

In 2002, after serving 13 years as an enlisted member, now 2nd Lt. Hermann, a space vehicle operator, was assigned to the 4th Space Operations Squadron at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.

“I was starting to learn adaptability is a big part of being in this Air Force,” Hermann said. “Not only was this my third job change, I was now an officer, which is its own unique dynamic.”

Hermann pointed to three things he learned are key to having success in the Air Force.

“There’s always the constant of change,” he said. “However, I’ve found that if you have motivation, commitment and

adaptability, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

Hermann proved his adaptability as an SVO; he was selected to be an SVO instructor at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

“That was probably one of my favorite jobs,” he said. “I love helping people connect the dots as to what we do. Having the breadth of experience I did at that point helped me to do that. I found it very rewarding.”

While space itself may have undefinable dimensions, the Air Force space world is considered a small community among its operators. The current 4th SOPS commander, Lt. Col. Armon Lansing, was one of Hermann’s first students.

“You wouldn’t have known this officer was in the process of learning,” Lansing said. “He was so knowledgeable. We were the system experts that responded to satellite anomalies. It was one of the most intensive courses. His intelligence and breadth of experience really helped positively affect the future of space through his influence with students.”

Hermann’s next stop was the Joint Space Operations Center where in 2008 he became the first-ever chief of space defense.

According to him, this was when the mindset of space operators started to shift.

“It’s the first time we started to change the mindset of thinking of things as hostilities first and anomalies second when something happens,” Herman said. “It is somewhat of an occupational art. Many jobs are checklist driven. There’s no checklist for the things we were doing. I had to ask myself ‘how do I adapt to this? How do I adapt physical tools as well as my own mindset and meld the two?’”

After a couple of headquarters jobs at various locations, Hermann finally found himself coming “home” to the 50th Space Wing for the final time as chief of safety.

Shortly after arriving, he visited the Heritage Hall in

Building 210 and saw pictures of his old AMU hanging on the wall.

“I was blown away,” he said. “I saw pictures of people I knew. It’s a special feeling to know you’re a part of the history and legacy of this wing. It’s fun to be part of that evolution.”

James Mesco, historian, 50th SW, agreed.

“It’s certainly a nice thing to be part of the heritage like he is,” Mesco said. “While not unheard of, it’s rare to have this distinction. He’s seen this wing when we were flying F-16s and now we’re flying satellites. It’s special.”

Hermann finds the change and evolution to be one of the surprisingly exciting parts of being in the Air Force.

“In a way, the great thing about the Air Force is things are temporary,” he said. “You have the security knowing you’re going to be able to clothe and feed your family. On the career side, there’s always different people, places and jobs. Your unit gets decommissioned and then recommissioned. It’s been a fun ride.”

The 30-year veteran reflected further on his career.

“The Air Force is the greatest organization on the planet,” Herman said. “You’ll never be in another organization that has so many opportunities to advance. There’s no other institution that is so interested in deliberately developing you, especially if you choose to maximize those things.”

After 30 years of service, Hermann has decided to settle into final orbit and focus on his family. The young face that stared into the skies one night in 1988 is a little older now, but the same smile still crosses his face when he looks up at those stars.

“My family is what drove a lot of my decision to retire,” he said. “I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of special things, but it’s time to move on. Move on to what, I’m not sure just yet. I have some potential family business opportunities. I probably won’t know until after next year. There will be a lot of soul-searching.”

While there are many proud moments throughout his career, he is especially proud of being a part of the initial push to change the space operations mindset.

“Now, the mind shift is complete and there’s a lot of momentum behind the space warfighting construct,” Hermann said. “The next step is honing the tools and expanding the capabilities needed to prevail in conflicts that extend to space.”

“There’s a generation of older space officers who are passing the baton,” he continued. “There are a lot of young, smart energetic people who are ushering us into new kinds of capabilities. The path has been set down and now they can start running on it.”

Lansing agreed.

“The foundation he and other instructors laid has allowed us to get to the point where we are now,” Lansing said. “He helped set the standard early on for so many SVOs today.

There’s a standard of excellence and knowledge in place today because of him.”

While the colonel is quick to defer praise on his contributions to the 50th SW legacy, perhaps the words of a former supervisor in a letter he received Sept. 19, 1990, sum it up best.

“You have proven yourself as an exceptional Airman at each and every opportunity, accepting whatever tasks or responsibilities were asked of you. [Your] accomplishments and many others are indicative of an exceptional performer.

Your conduct has been noteworthy in every respect and sets a fine example for others to follow.”

Airmen can manage life insurance online

By Richard Salomon Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Airmen are reminded they no longer need paper forms to manage their Service members’ Group Life Insurance, thanks to the SGLI Online Enrollment System, or SOES, the Air Force rolled out in August, 2017.

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 full-time 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.

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

Schriever helping agencies give couples, families support

U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Elora Martinez

Maintaining healthy relationships with loved ones is a component of Comprehensive Airmen Fitness. Fortunately, for Schriever Airmen, there are a variety of support services designed to help with the unique challenges that come with the military lifestyle.

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

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The military is a distinctive lifestyle that can be unpredictable, unmalleable and tasking — it also comes with a host of advantages.

Like many things, there is no black and white for military service.

One truth, however, is that these unique factors can affect relationships and families.

“Frequent moves and trips, unaccompanied assignments, long working hours, deployments and potentially dangerous work can add to the stresses of married and family life,” said Ruth Moore, community readiness consultant, 50th Force Support Squadron, with the Airman and Family Readiness Center. “However, the military provides many services and programs to help families.”

To better help families manage expectations for military life, the A&FRC will host a “Opportunities and Challenges of Military Life” class March 27. Other resources include Military and Family Life Counselors who can provide support and consultation, the Alcohol Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment program, the 50th Space Wing Chaplain’s Office, Military OneSource and more.

Additionally, the 21st MDS clinic offers mental health services for those who may be struggling or wish to get another perspective on their situation. Airmen can call the clinic to talk to the staff or get linked with other Schriever support agencies’ to accurately address their needs.

“If you need help from a support agency, you don’t have to go from one side of town to the other,” said Marnie Hebert, mental health technician at the Schriever clinic, 21st MDS. “We are lucky it can be found here, and if we need to, we can lean on other Front Range military bases.”

Hebert, a military spouse who came from a purely civilian background, said she had to make her own adjustments to adapt to the military lifestyle.

“There was a lot I had to get used to,” she said. “What was hardest for me was the mandatory nature of everything. Normally, in civilian life, you work your shift and if you go overtime you expect compensation.

In the military, you work until the job is done. You are always on call.”

She said she wished she was aware of these resources when she first became a military spouse.

“If there was a class like this (Opportunities and Challenges of Military Life) for me to attend when I first got married, it would’ve been so helpful,” Hebert said.

Maintaining a healthy relationship is fundamental to maintaining the pillar of mental fitness — part of Comprehensive Airmen Fitness.

Moore detailed how the A&FRC and Schriever support services are always there to help.

“Airman and Family Readiness Center programs and services are provided to ensure Airmen and families remain resilient and mission ready during their Schriever tour,” Moore said. “We strive to meet the needs of the Schriever community through various avenues, to include unit briefings, classes, workshops, seminars and individual meetings.”

Hebert shared her advice for those having a hard time adjusting to military lifestyle.

“Get to know other military families, especially those who have been in longer,” she said. “Once you talk to those who have more experience, they can give you pointers and tips. One of the coolest things about the military is that it is self-sustaining. If you need help you can find it.”

Meet the ‘Baum Squad’ - Brothers in Arms

Caleb, Tim, James, Peter, Michael and Paul Baumgartner decided to follow in their grandfather’s footsteps in serving their nation to become both brothers in arms and brothers by blood.

By Senior Airman Laura Turner 310th Space Wing

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— The term ‘Brothers in Arms’ stems from a long-time camaraderie between service members as they face adversity together and learn to rely on each other like family. For the Baumgartner brothers, that phrase has taken on a more literal meaning that spans three separate generations.

Six brothers — Michael, Paul, Peter, James, Timothy and Caleb — decided to follow in their father, Ray Duane Baumgartner, and grandfather Roy Dean Baumgartner’s footsteps by serving their nation. Roy served in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1959 alongside five of his own brothers — James, Cecil, Ernest, Francis and Harry. Ray, Roy’s son, served in the U.S. Navy from 1970 to 1979 with his brothers David and Phillip.

Four of the six brothers currently serving are members of the 310th Space Wing, which has units at Schriever, Buckley and Vandenberg Air Force Bases.

It all began with Senior Master Sgt. Michael ‘Mike’ Baumgartner, 310th Operations Support Squadron, who started his career at the 8th Space Warning Squadron, Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado.

“I was motivated by a few factors [to join the Reserve],” Mike said. “Most compelling at the time were gainful employment and education benefits; however, underlying these was clearly a desire to carry on the legacy of service my grandfather began and to take some responsibility for maintaining the ideals of personal liberty our constitution enacts and provides us. I believe entirely in this ‘great experiment’ that is our young country and believe it is worth any sacrifice to ensure it survives and thrives.”

Mike’s younger brother, Senior Airman Caleb Baumgartner, now serves at the 9th Combat Operations Squadron, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, and gives Mike the credit for recruiting him into the service.

“Mike is a great recruiter,” Caleb said. “He called me after I had spent quite a bit of time out of high school, jumping from job to job, and basically said two things; you aren’t doing anything with your life and you have programming experience. It just so happens that we (9th COS) need someone who is your level of nerd.”

Caleb joined the Air Force Reserve and eventually became certified as a Conjunction Analysis Duty technician. He re-wrote most of the data handling processes for identifying and delivering important conjunction

data messages to owners and operators of multi-billion-dollar satellite constellations around the world.

“While watching my brothers join and go on to become successful, I knew it wasn’t an ‘if ’ — it’s the family business!” Caleb said. “Why the Reserve? I didn’t want to leave California. I figured if I didn’t like it, I could just be a traditional reservist and suffer through it for a few years. It turned out to be quite the opposite and definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

Tech. Sgt. Peter Baumgartner, 8th SWS, Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, joined the armed forces to do his part, he said, and to serve and protect the people of America. He wanted to continue the legacy of his father and brothers who joined before him. “[Senior] Master Sgt. Baumgartner recruited the rest of us into the 310th,” Peter said. “He was passionate about what he was doing and truly enjoyed it.”

While their family history influenced the brothers’ drive to enlist, it also factors into their continued success in the military today.

“I believe that part of the reason for our success in our careers is due to our work ethic,” Peter said. “My dad taught all of us to do our dead level best, regardless of the

position. The other part for me is my brothers pushing me to do better, as well as teaching me how to balance work and family life.”

Intelligence Specialist Chief Petty Officer Paul Baumgartner, the first-born of the Baumgartner brothers, joined later in life toward the end of 2001.

“I was working two full-time, dead-end jobs,” Paul said. “I had one small child and a second on the way. I wanted to find a career that was worthwhile, and Mike was already making a successful career of the Air Force Reserve. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 became a turning point for me. I began to talk to people who I knew retired from the military about their experiences. I had a deep desire to serve my country, but was leery of the affects that military service would have on my family.”

Paul spent several months researching the Air Force before he decided to contact his local recruiter regarding active duty enlistment. By that time, he was too close to his 27th birthday, the cutoff for active duty enlistment at the time. Understanding Paul’s concerns about family impact, the recruiter informed him that the Navy was pretty closely ranked with the Air Force in the area of family support.

“I contacted the Navy recruiter, who told me he could not take me on as active duty based on my car payment and number of dependents,” Paul said. “He referred me to the reserve — where I have been ever since.”

Now that the six brothers are serving in the military together, they use healthy competition as a means to motivate and encourage one another.

“There is definitely a little competition between us; probably more on my part having been, until recently, outranked by two of my younger brothers,” Paul said. “But overall, I think we have a stronger bond — being both biological brothers and brothers in arms. We have a second shared identity that brings us closer together; forming what we call the ‘Baum Squad.’ I think the shared understanding of military life gives us the ability to better encourage each other, and we take advantage of that ability.”

The entire ‘squad’ plans to make a career out of the military, stating they have had mostly positive experiences and want to continue their service.

“I’ve gained more than just a career in the military,” Paul said. “I’ve realized a sense of purpose, and made connections that would be impossible to replace elsewhere. I plan to stay until they push me out.”

According to Mike, he has learned that success in his own career can never be his main goal.

“If it is, then disappointment is guaranteed,” Mike said. “If I do my best to see the mission succeed and pour my efforts into helping develop my fellow Airmen, then their success becomes my success. I’ve discovered as a husband, father and reserve citizen Airman, the more you invest in others and their achievement, the greater your own personal gain.”

As the Baum Squad continues building their own legacy, a page has begun to turn on their past. In June, 2017, the brothers received word that their grandfather had passed away. All six of them attended the funeral in uniform to be pallbearers for Roy and help lay him to rest.

Mike says it best when reflecting on the long history that he and his brothers have inherited.

“As a result of the influence and character of our grandfather and father, who served during World War II and the Vietnam Conflict, I think we are all motivated to remain faithful to the proud heritage, tradition of honor and legacy of valor left to us.”

Schriever Airman’s Key Spouse service recognized

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

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Schriever’s own Natalie McCoy earned Air Force Space Command’s 2018 Joan Orr Spouse of the Year award.

She will go on to compete Air Force-wide for the prestigious Joan Orr Air Force Spouse of the Year Award.

McCoy, key spouse, 50th Security Forces Squadron, has volunteered more than 800 hours on and off base in 2017 alone.

Her achievements include volunteering more than fifty hours at her local church, providing emotional relief and stress support for more than 100 families living on base, and spending a combined 25 hours setting up and tearing down for major base events.

“I was a little shocked (when I won the award),” McCoy said.

“This is the first time I ever made it past wing recognition.”

Emily Rangel, a friend and fellow key spouse, was not as surprised. She has been a member of the program and has known McCoy for more than a year.

“She’s always trying to get people involved in things she’s passionate about, spending a lot of her time focusing her energy on the people and groups that are important,” she said.

McCoy is not just a volunteer, but a leader as well. She has represented the Key Spouse Program on numerous occasions, including during the Second Lady of the United States visit to Schriever, for the First Term Airman Center as well as serving as the Child Development Center, Advisory Board chair, creating the “Little Airman’s Council” to help get CDC children involved in the community events.

McCoy detailed why she likes to serve.

“Reaching out and being there, talking to people face-toface you often times find out something about the person you wouldn’t have known beforehand,” she said. “For me, because 50th SFS is a squadron of shift workers who deploy regularly, it can be hard to get family members involved, but it’s most important to me when people do.”

Texas-raised, she attributed her love for volunteer work to her upbringing.

“I think my upbringing had a lot to do with my work ethic,” she said. “Most of my family works in civil servant careers
