By Staff Sgt. Matthew Coleman-Foster 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A combat controller with the 24th Special Operations Wing visited Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado to educate enlisted and officer Airmen interested in cross-training into special tactics in the First Term Airmen Classroom, May 1.

Tech. Sgt. William Johnson, combat controller in charge of cross-training noncommissioned officers with the 24th Special Operations Wing Special Tactics Training

Squadron, Flight 4, presented facts on joining the elite ranks of the 24th SOW and the opportunities available to attendees.

The 24th SOW is looking for motivated Airmen who are prepared to dedicate themselves to the special tactics mission of integrating air and ground forces for mission success. The Air Force Specialties featured in the briefing were Combat Control, Tactical Air Control Party, Special Operations Weather Team, Pararescue, Special Tactics Officer and Special Operations Surgical Team.

Schriever AFB’s Career Assistance Advisor, Master Sgt. Janelle Amador with the 50th

Force Support Squadron, says the briefings are important to Schriever because of the amount of talent on base.

“We have such a vast amount of expertise here, any special tactics team could definitely use our skills,” she said. "Course, Air Force wide you have so many.”

In the 1970s, Air Force special tactics started with a small number of highly skilled men were brought together to provide the U.S. military a vital air and ground integration capability. At the time the team was colloquiSee Special Tactics page 12

Warm weather

emphasizes traffic safety

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

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — With the weather warming up, Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, safety personnel advise all Airmen to practice traffic safety.

“When it comes to traffic safety in spring and summer, people can be lulled by a false sense of security coming out of the winter months,” said Master Sgt. Michael Hawkins, occupational safety manager with the 50th Space Wing Safety office. “In reality, you must always have caution. Don’t let your guard down as the months get warmer.”

Hawkins said Schriever AFB’s main artery connecting it to the outside community and Colorado Springs, Highway 94, is an example of why it’s important to be an alert and defensive driver.

Highway 94, a main route to Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, has seen serious traffic accidents recently.

Pictured is the section of Highway 94 known as “garbage hill,” its name based on the waste disposal industries that surround it, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, May 5, 2018. Schriever AFB safety personnel labeled the hill as a trouble spot for improper passing and speeding, and an example of why defensive driving is important.

1. What was your motivation for joining the Air Force and where did you start your career?

I wanted to join the Air Force ever since I was a kid. I was born in Miami, Florida and lived near Homestead Air Force Base, Florida until I was 10 years old. My dad used to take me to a spot outside of Homestead AFB and we would watch the F-16s land. I was fascinated with these fighter jets and knew that was what I wanted to do when I grew up. Unfortunately, my vision didn’t allow me to follow through on this dream, but I still knew I wanted to join the Air Force. My dad, two of his brothers and one of his sisters all joined the Air Force in the 1960s and served varying amounts of time. My grandfather, a pilot during World War II, was shot down, became a POW and then escaped from a prison camp. Service to our country runs in our family and I knew I wanted to follow this path of ‘service before self’.

My Air Force journey started in high school when I volunteered as a member of the local Civil Air Patrol squadron at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. After high school, I attended The Citadel Military College and participated in AFROTC. My official active duty Air Force career began in July 2004 when I arrived as a brand new second lieutenant to 50th CONS at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. The 50th CONS consists of a truly incredible team of Airmen. It’s an honor and a privilege to come full circle and

detail can also be a weakness in the sense that I want to ensure I know every detail before making a decision or providing guidance on how to move forward. This is a weakness because it slows down the decision making process.

There are many times when all the details will not be known, but a decision is required. In these cases, where speed is more important than having all the details, you have to make a decision based on what is known at the time.

You may have heard that sometimes it’s better to move forward with the 80 percent solution now versus waiting for the 100 percent solution later.

In the end, you have to balance the amount of details you need to make an informed decision with the urgency of when a decision is needed while also taking into account the risks you are willing to and have the authority to accept.

3. How do you handle stress or challenges?

Maj. Neal Wall 50th Contracting Squadron Commander

have the opportunity to lead 50th CONS. 2. What do you feel your strengths and weaknesses are?

My biggest strength is my attention to detail.

In the contracting career field, attention to detail is critical to ensure we award contracts in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and make business decisions that are the best value for our customers and the taxpayers. Attention to detail is also an important part of both written and spoken communication. It is this attention to detail that we all must continuously strive to improve as part of our profession as Airmen and to be effective leaders.

On the other hand, my high attention to

I like challenges, and I find that I work better and I am more productive when under stress. That’s one of the reasons I attended The Citadel in South Carolina. I wanted a stressful environment to challenge myself. When faced with a stressful challenge, I break the overall end-state into smaller more manageable pieces. This allows me to focus on the various components of the challenge and tasks at hand. For example, the Fitness Assessment is stressful to me. Specifically, the aerobic component. To deal with this, during the test, I only think about two laps at a time. Breaking the test down into two laps a time makes the challenge less stressful and more achievable.

This is a simplistic example, but you can use a similar method for any stressful challenge.

50 SW/CC recognizes CST Airmen

U.S. Air Force photos by Tech. Sgt. Wes Wright

Chief Master Sgt. Jason Tiek, command chief of the 50th Space Wing, congratulates Senior Airman Justin Kazlauskas, client systems technician with the 50th Space Communications Squadron, during a coining ceremony at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, April 26, 2018. Col. Jennifer Grant, commander of the 50th SW, coined Kazlauskas and two other Airmen who helped spearhead Schriever AFB’s migration to Windows 10 on more than 2,500 non-classified and Secure Internet Protocol Router devices. The Airmen had key roles in managing, scheduling and innovating implementation procedures.

Leadership perspective From page 3 Look at the path required to get to the end state, and then break down that path into small and manageable pieces.

This will provide you with small wins along the path to your end state and give you the motivation required to reach your final objective.

4. What common trait do you think all successful leaders have?

There are many traits that successful leaders have in common, but honesty, loyalty, caring and high standards

Col. Jennifer Grant, commander of the 50th Space Wing, coins Airman 1st Class Clinton Vangsness, client systems technician with the 50th Space Communications Squadron, at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, April 26, 2018. The commander also coined Senior Airman Wesley Brekke and Senior Airman Justin Kazlauskas, both client systems technicians with 50th SCS. All three Airmen helped spearhead Schriever AFB’s migration to Windows 10 on more than 2,500 non-classified and Secure Internet Protocol Router devices. The migration supplied Schriever AFB with a faster operating system that features improved security and other upgrades.

are a few that come to mind. Leaders need to be honest in everything they do. There is a reason integrity first is one of our core values. Honesty builds trust, and trust is crucial between a leader and those they lead. If you lose your subordinate’s trust, then you are no longer an effective leader. It is also important for a leader to have loyalty up and down the chain of command. This loyalty is built upon trust and honesty. It’s crucial for leaders to be loyal to those they serve and lead and to the Air Force mission.

At the same time, leaders must genuinely care about their people and attend to their needs so they can focus on the mission.

Finally, leaders have to set high standards. It is not enough for leaders to meet minimum standards; leaders should strive to significantly exceed minimum standards.

5. Is there anything else you would like to add about leadership?

You don’t have to be in a formal leadership position to lead. Find those base or community event-opportunities and go lead one of them. If you wait until you are in a formal leadership position to lead, then you won’t have those previous leadership experiences to draw upon. Take advantage of every leadership opportunity you can. Leadership opportunities aren’t always going to find you.

Early in your career, you have to find leadership opportunities and own them. If you do a good job and are successful, then bigger leadership opportunities will come your way. In whatever capacity you lead, take care of your people and hold yourself and those you lead accountable.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, but learn from your mistakes and don’t make the same ones twice.

Traffic safety From page 1 Highway 94 has had its share of accidents, two last summer resulting in fatalities and another over a month ago causing serious injuries. Areas of concern include misused broken yellow lines and improper use of passing lanes in general.

“Highway 94 has designated passing lanes which are put in place to discourage people from trying to pass over the solid yellow line,” Hawkins said. “If you are passing, you must make sure it is safe before you pass.

If the person you are passing is going under the speed limit, then it’s legal, however, if they are going at or near the speed limit, you are breaking the law.”

“Additionally, if you pass, you have to be able to pass and get back into the proper lane before the line becomes solid,” he added.

He explained with the high speed limit on Highway 94, as well as the drop in speed going on Curtis Road from Falcon Highway, speeding is another major factor which increases the risk of accidents.

Hawkins, who has had to report to accidents as part of his job, can testify to the devastating potency speeding adds to a crash and why it’s important to follow speed limits.

“I’ve seen what happens and the devastation that takes place,” he said. “When you have an accident, there are three parts to the collision – when the actual vehicle hits an object, when your body collides in the vehicle and, the third and most dangerous part, what happens inside your body in reaction. When I investigated high-speed accidents, you can see how this effect on your internal organs can kill instantaneously.”

However, it is not just Highway 94 or other routes leading to Schriever AFB where accidents occur.

Throughout Colorado, and the rest of the U.S., as the temperatures increase, so does the risk factor associated with driving.

According to the National Institute of Environmental

Health Science’s publication, Environmental Health Perspectives journal, numerous experimental studies across various countries have shown a decrease in driving performance amongst the general populace at high temperatures.

One of the studies observed motor vehicle crashes which occurred in Catalonia, Spain, during the warm periods of the years 2000 - 2011. It found that of the 118,489 motor vehicles crashes during this period, the estimated risk of crashes increased 2.9 percent during heat wave days.

For every 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit increase in maximum temperature, the risk increased by 1.1 percent.

At Schriever AFB, security forces Airmen such as Staff Sgt. Asia Mekoleske, noncommissioned officer in charge of reports and analysis with the 50th Security Forces Squadron, continue to play a vital role in keeping the base populace safe into the warmer seasons.

She said part of making Schriever AFB a safer environment is for Airmen to obey all base traffic safety laws.

“Things to remember is to pay attention to the rules and understand how roundabouts work, as well as pay attention to speed limits,” Mekoleske said. “For example, some people speed around the gates. Those speed limits are there for security procedures and for the protection of gate personnel.”

In line with May being Motorcycle Safety Month, traffic safety applies to other modes of transportation as well.

On Schriever AFB, proper safety gear must be worn when operating motorcycles and bicycles. For motorcyclists, you must be licensed and have completed initial motorcycle safety training and/or be updated on refresher training.

“Ensure you are wearing all of your safety protective gear, such as helmets, boots, long sleeve shirts and pants,” Mekoleske said.

While it may seem this year’s snow and ice slick roads are coming to an end, improper and dangerous driving is year-round and claims thousands of lives.

Although Hawkins and others work hard to ensure everyone’s safety, he said it’s important the individual does so as well.

“When we go back into the warmer months, a lot of the caution people internalized during the winter goes away,” Hawkins said. “This is detrimental, you need to be a defensive driver all year.”

Provider appreciation dinner spotlights caregivers

By Halle Thornton

50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Fifty four child care providers attended a Provider Appreciation Dinner May 4 at the Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado Event Center to honor their hard work, providing care for children on base.

The day is intended to recognize all those who nurture, teach and care for children in multiple settings across the country.

Along with dedicated caregivers, the night also paid tribute to cooks, food service workers, administrative staff, trainers and managers.

The 1970s and 1980s themed event included a potluck-style dinner, complete with disc jockey Lt. Col. Joe Clemmer, director of operations with the 17th Test Squadron, who encouraged attendees to dance the night away.

Mary Barkley, child and youth services flight chief with the 50th Force Support Squadron, began the appreciation dinner three years ago, stemming from an idea she had at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.

When she arrived at Schriever AFB, she worked with the parent advisory board to sponsor the event.

“I wanted providers to have a stress free, fun night where they can relax and let someone take care of them,” she said. “They are the ones who are always taking care of everyone else.”

Barkley added the night would not have been a success without the help of the Airman’s Council and Parent Advisory Board.

“I’m so thankful to Natalie McCoy and CJ Thornton for all the work they did for the event,” Barkley added.

Lt. Col. Merrell Mobley, commander of the 50th Force Support Squadron, kicked off the night with a few words about why this event is important, and praised all workers in the Child Development Center and School Age Care program.

“As a squadron, Lt. Col. Mobley tries to have events during lunch, but a lot of times, they (caregivers) don’t get an opportunity to participate,” she said. “We want to honor them for all the work they do.”

Different organizations joined in showing appreciation by sponsoring themed tables such as the 50th Security Forces Squadron, the Airman and Family Readiness Center and the management team from the Child Development Center and School Age Care program.

Table themes included Dr. Seuss, luau, camping and Cat in the Hat. Barkley added the best part of the night was the themed tables because the staff appreciated all the work the various agencies did to support the event.

Natalie McCoy, president of the Parent Advisory Board and Airman’s Council and head of the event, and CJ Thornton, vice president, said they chose the particular day

Attendees dance to the music during the Child Development Center and School Age Care program appreciation night at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, May 4, 2018. The night recognized the work CDC and SAC personnel contribute to Schriever children.

because it fell during Teacher Appreciation Week.

Both McCoy and Thornton emphasized the importance of honoring not only teachers, but the entire provider staff.

“These are the people who raise our kids, including front staff trainers, everybody who works in the CDC and School Age Care program. It’s anyone who impacts the kids,” McCoy added.

Preparation for the event took a few months, and with the help of other agencies on base, the event was a success.

“The event was fantastic,” Barkley said. “I received a lot of positive feedback regarding the event, and the staff want the same venue for next year.”

McCoy and Thornton said the night was the least they could do to show their support for the childcare providers.

“I’ve been here for a long time, and my kids don’t know any other CDC, but they have supported me with both my kids for years, and that’s priceless,” McCoy said.

Thornton agreed with McCoy, and emphasized the appreciation he has for the providers.

“They help in so many ways, and they go above and beyond to help you,” he said.

“They all make it feel like a family atmosphere as much as they can and treat you with the utmost respect. This event was something we could finally give back to them.”

Team Schriever holds first-ever CCAF graduation

By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Schriever Air Force Base Chiefs Group, Diamond Council and Top 3 hosted a Community College of the Air Force and higher education graduation ceremony at Schriever AFB, Colorado, May 3.

The CCAF was established in 1972 in order to gain academic recognition for the technical training conducted by Air Force schools. Over the years, the college has grown both in number and recognition. With more than 370,000 registered students, the college is the largest multi-campus community college in the world.

Col. Jennifer Grant, commander of the 50th Space Wing, presided over the ceremony; where more than 150 people were in attendance.

This ceremony marked the first time Schriever AFB has held a CCAF graduation ceremony of its own. In the past, all Team Schriever graduates attended CCAF ceremonies at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

“This ceremony is unique because Team Schriever came

together to recognize our own folks for the first time,” said Master Sgt. Chad Peterson, first sergeant with the 50th Network Operations Group. “This not only included the 50th Space Wing, but our reservists and tenant units as well.”

According to the Schriever AFB Diamond Council and Top 3, keeping the event at Schriever AFB not only reduces logistical coordination with the 21st Space Wing, but further establishes Schriever AFB’s identity within Air Force Space Command.

“The planning for this started in January,” Peterson said. “The Peterson AFB Education Office gave us many tools to work with, but the majority of the process involved brainstorming new ideas since this was held in a different location. We wanted to make sure we kicked this off right and can continue to do this beyond this ceremony.”

Staff Sgt. Krisella Mariano Aguirre, system support technician with the 4th Space Operations Squadron, expressed what it meant to her to be a part of the first Team Schriever CCAF graduation.

“I officially earned my CCAF in January 2018,” she said.

“The ceremony was the first one I ever attended and my

favorite part was listening to 1st Lt. Adams’ speech. His journey through education has changed his life for the better and it was motivating to hear about it.

“During the ceremony, I felt very proud of myself,” she continued. “All those long nights of doing homework and stressing out about deadlines paid off today. I would tell Airmen who want to earn their CCAF that getting your degree shouldn’t be a race and to remember to take it one day at a time.”

Master Sgt. Nicholas Banks, mission assurance superintendent with the 1st Space Operations Squadron, reflected on the significance of Airmen earning CCAF degrees and having the opportunity to celebrate it among their families and peers.

“You only get this chance once in your career,” he said.

“We want graduates to look back and be glad they were a part of this and continue to encourage others who follow in their footsteps. The base and mission is continuing to grow and we hope we can look back at this ceremony years from now and see how successful it has been.”

In the future, the councils plan to hold CCAF graduation ceremonies every May and October.

Airman’s transition helps self, Air Force grow

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

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — There are more than 300,000 active duty service members in the Air Force, with professions ranging from pilots to space operations officers.

Maintaining global dominance in air, space and cyberspace requires different numbers of personnel in different career fields, often fluctuating in demand, and for those that are critically manned, every Airman is key.

Staff Sgt. Brian Parra, currently a satellite systems operator with the 2nd Space Operations Squadron, sought to join a critically manned career field, following his dream to work on aircraft after training and certifying as a flight engineer.

“A big drive for me was to go into something that was critically manned, in addition to it already being something I wanted to do,” he said.

Parra, transitioning from Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, says he is excited to begin his new journey working as a flight engineer on a C-5M Super Galaxy and that his time as a space Airman will greatly assist him.

“The crew coordination between satellite operators within 2nd SOPS puts you in a mindset that it’s not just you out there, it’s a whole operations floor; the discipline they drill into us, following checklists - that’s exactly how it is on an aircraft,” he said. “It’s definitely going to translate to my new role. On a C-5M Super Galaxy, like a satellite, you are looking at so many telemetry points, things constantly changing, constantly adapting, while at the same time listening for the pilot’s communications to ground control.

“The atmosphere of the 2nd SOPS operations floor helped prepare me for it,” he said.

Moving from working with satellites with a keyboard and monitor, to assessing and addressing flight capability for an airplane that can hold an eight lane bowling alley in its cargo department is a stark contrast in Parra’s Air Force service and a testament to the opportunities critically manned career fields give Airmen.

“Here I am about to work on this ‘flying whale’ as I like to call it – I don’t even know how it stays in flight,” he said. “I’m still amazed doing preflight checks, you get a workout going from one section to another.”

Parra said his leadership and fellow 2nd SOPS Airmen were more than willing to help him reach his goals.

“I was worried at first they were going to be insulted that I wished to retrain,” he said. “I didn’t know what the reaction was going to be, but they’ve helped me through everything.”

One of Parra’s mentors was 1st. Lt. Justine Pescetello-Parr, staff instructor with the 50th Operations Support Squadron.

Staff Sgt. Brian Parra, currently a satellite systems operator with the 2nd Space Operations Squadron, shows-off his new flight suit at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, April 20, 2018. Parra has recently returned from training to be a flight engineer, a critically manned career field. He is one of many Airmen pursuing critically manned career fields to meet the Air Force’s professional needs.

“He sets the example for others to follow in every duty he performs on base and off,” Pescetello-Parr said. “He has the ability to remain calm and positive during very difficult and stressful situations. If he sees something wrong, he takes the steps to correct it and will not stop until the problem is fixed.”

Serving with 2nd SOPS has strengthened Parra as an Airman.

“It sounds kind of cheesy, but since I’ve been here I’ve grown to care for everybody,” he said. “Serving here not only made me better as an Airman, but as a person in general. It was humbling.”

Parra said his transition was made more meaningful

knowing he’s going to assist the Air Force in a critically manned career field.

“When helping people who want to cross train, the first thing I pull up is a list critically manned career fields,” he said. “For me, I’m happy I found something that I think is best for myself and best for the Air Force as a whole and helps us both grow.”

For a list of career fields and their quotas in the Air Force, log into myPERS, click “apply for retraining” and select “online myPERs retraining advisory and retraining advisory notes” in step two.

Special Tactics From page 1 ally known as Brand X. Over the years, the team developed capabilities supporting global mission requirements in the changing world environment, becoming what we now know as Air Force Special Tactics.

Today, more than 1,500 Special Tactics Airmen enable global access, precision strike and tactical rescue and recovery operations in special operations, bringing a breadth of unique air-to-ground capabilities, while performing traditional special operation mission sets.

Johnson says there’s no minimum number or no maximum number when it comes to people, and the more Airmen who show up to the briefings the better. However,

it doesn’t mean everyone gets chosen.

“We are selective. So we are going to throw that net out there and not everyone is going to get caught-not everyone is going to get the opportunity to come within the job,” he said.

The goal of sending someone such as Johnson out is to inform people about jobs and opportunities within special tactics.

“My job when I go out is to make sure Airmen know what’s out there,” he said. “For instance, the Special Operations Surgical Team, not a lot of people know SOST is a part of special tactics and a lot of support jobs fall within special tactics as well.”

Another topic addressed during the briefing was the opening of the special tactics AFSCs to female Airmen.

“All the jobs in special tactics are open to everyone,” Johnson said. “If you are a female and interested in any of these jobs, please let us know. Standards are all the same.

Once you get picked up you are part of the team no matter

what. You are treated as an equal.”

Johnson said Airmen often hear certain things about special tactics from various avenues, but maintains he will tell you firsthand what it’s about.

“I am a combat controller. I can tell you what being a special tactics Airmen is about,” he said. “I have worked with people in and out of special tactics, and I can tell you what their jobs are about.”

Amador says Air Force Special Operations Command and 24th SOW send a representative out at least twice a year. If you miss one of those opportunities, she is happy to help you.

“I carry their (24th SOW) pamphlets and materials in case anyone wants their services or if they have enough personnel to have a class, they will come out here TDY,” she said. “All you have to do is ask. Come see me. Even if we don’t have a class I’ll help you.”

Police Week, honoring our defenders

By Master Sgt. Scott Willis and 2nd Lt. Cody Rodela 21st and 50th Security Forces Squadrons

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, to participate in a number of planned events which honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

In 1962, Kennedy wrote “Whereas, from the beginning of this Nation, law enforcement officers have played an important role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms which are guaranteed by the Constitution and in protecting the lives and property of our citizens.”

In one paragraph, Kennedy was able to capture the essence of what it means to be a police officer; to serve and protect. In the Air Force, Security Forces Defenders and Air Force Office of Special Investigations agents provide this continued service and protection 24/7, without respite or mission failure.

Air Force Security Forces is the largest single Air Force specialty. In 2018, our career field authorizations stand at 39,551 total force enlisted and officers combined. While at home station, security forces are your constables on patrol, touring the streets in our white sedans and trucks. What appear to be random patrol routes to most casual observers

is quite the opposite. The Defenders work hand-in-hand with local police departments and federal agencies to ensure your safety beyond the protective boundaries of an Air Force base. We man the gates in all inclement weather and do our best to greet you with a friendly smile and a ‘Welcome to Schriever Air Force Base.’ Believe me when I say that every day, all 39,551 of us know it could very well be our last and the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty may be our fate that day. We defend the Constitution and our country both here and abroad.

When we deploy, our mission becomes more complex. We train using U.S. Army standards for ground offensive and defensive warfare. We routinely conduct missions in hostile territory without regard for our own safety but instead worry only about the safety of others and the mission. We serve with distinction in all manners of conflict; Korea, Vietnam, Desert Shield/Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom just to name a few. When we return home, we transition back into our peace officer roles without the public ever noticing and never skipping a beat.

We go by many names: peace officers, policemen and policewomen, special agents, sheriffs, defender, but we all answer one call across the nation, to serve and protect.

During this special week, please take a moment to remember those fallen officers who gave their lives in the line of duty as well as celebrate those of us serving every day to protect the freedoms our country holds so dear.

The CAVRN aims to foster knowledge sharing and facilitate greater communication, coordination, awareness, and transparency between community members.

“The CAVRN promotes collaboration, translation, and best practices that influence auditory-vestibular readiness, care, and quality of life for warfighters and veterans,” Hammill added.

Hammill stated that as she toured the 711th HPW, she thought about all the tremendous crossover opportunities between auditory research and so many other disciplines within human performance. “We are a very interdisciplinary team and that’s a big part of our growth – to discover and reach out to these other teams who are somehow focused on auditory or balance disorders” she said.

“When you bring these folks together, they end up having very meaningful conversations, they are able to incorporate perspectives of their colleagues, who are subject matter experts across the DoD and VA and incorporate their perspectives and really make smarter projects and make more multiservice projects.”

Hammill explained the CAVRN is built on a translational model, including bench scientists, clinician scientists, funding program managers and public health experts, adding, “The whole scope from idea to application to practice, all in the same room so they can plan everything out together right up front.”

“This is a complex issue. Losing your hearing is not a part of doing business in military service," Hammill said.

"There are a lot of smart people working diligently to come up with better solutions to protect their hearing, both from a personal protective equipment stance, but also efforts in noise reductions and efforts in communication enhancement while making sure they’re able to do their job and have a reasonable quality of life after service.” Hammill said.

By Bryan Ripple 88th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — Military service often requires duty in noisy environments that can cause hearing loss and it doesn’t just happen during combat operations at deployed locations far from home station.

From flight line operations to firearms qualification ranges, aircraft maintenance back shops, vehicle repair shops, civil engineering shops, or even Air Force Research laboratories where innovative and agile technologies are born, noise brings the potential of hearing loss if proper personal protective hearing equipment is not available or utilized.

“In fact, Veterans Administration records show that auditory conditions such as hearing loss and tinnitus are the number one and number two most prevalent disability claim in the VA,” said Dr. Tanisha Hammill, research coordination branch lead at the Department of Defense Hearing Center of Excellence in San Antonio. “In terms of number of claims, this is the most prevalent injury among our veterans, so there is an obvious need to focus on reducing those injuries among our service members” she said.

In 2009, the Congressionally-mandated HCE was stood up to combat hearing and balance disorders. As part of the HCE, the Collaborative Auditory & Vestibular Research Network, or CAVRN was formed to bring together researchers with an auditory research focus to discuss current research efforts across the DoD and VA enterprises, providing unique opportunities for collaboration, Hammill said.

Annual CAVRN meetings are held at federal facilities and are hosted by member organizations and this year, the annual meeting was held April 24-26 and was hosted by the 711th Human Performance Wing’s Airman Systems Directorate, Warfighter Interface Division, Battlespace Acoustics Branch; the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine and the Naval Medical Research Unit – Dayton.

Brig. Gen. Mark Koeniger, 711th HPW commander, welcomed the CAVRN meeting attendees and cited numerous opportunities for collaboration with the 711th HPW. “As you go forward, the Human Performance Wing wants to be part of what you all do to help Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen,

Approximately 100 members of the Collaborative Auditory Vestibular Research Network, or CAVRN, met 711th Human Performance Wing April 24-26, 2018. CAVRN meetings allow the research community to expedite scientific advancements with greater efficiency through open communication and collaborations that ensue.

and Marines maintain their hearing so that hopefully in the future, hearing loss ceases to be the number one disability.

“The Air Force Chief of Staff’s focus areas converge on a singular vision – to create healthy squadrons full of resilient and credible warfighters primed to excel in multi-domain warfare,” he told them. “Certainly, nobody can do their job, or at least they would have a very difficult time doing their job if they couldn’t hear well.”
