SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— The 50th Operations Support Squadron defeated the 4th Space Operations Squadron 18-12 during the intramural flag football championship at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Oct. 24.

The 50th OSS defeated the 2nd Space Operations Squadron 26-0 and 4th SOPS

defeated the 50th Security Forces Squadron 18-6 in the semi-final round.

Joel Boxberger from the 50th OSS said the team really came together throughout the year and this especially rang true in the first playoff game against 2nd SOPS. “These last two games really showed all aspects of our team firing on all cylinders together,” he said. “All in all, the semifinals really showed each facet of our team peak-

ing at the right time, heading into the finals against 4 SOPS.” Tyrelle Shepherd from 4th SOPS said leading up to the championship game, they wanted to prove they could beat 50th OSS after losing to them twice.

“I feel we did the best we could with what we had,” he said. “We played with one less See Champions page 4

4th Space Operations Squadron commander

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— As we approach Halloween, I look back with amazement on how fast another year has gone by. Before we know it, 2018 will come to a close, and we will roll into anCSMNG other year.

I hope each of you will take at least a few moments as we close out this year to stop and celebrate both our individual and corporate success here at Schriever.

When we think about success, we often start by looking to our left and right. All too often, we compare ourselves to the competitive pool of our peers here in the military and write off the value of our accomplishments as common place, average, or routine. In addition, our fast operations tempo drives a pace where instead of celebrating our wins we immediately turn our attention to the next project. However, we really do have a cause to celebrate. Here at Schriever AFB we are truly a championship team accomplishing something great, I would argue even historic.

In both the 50th Operations and Network Operations Groups, we made the vision of advanced space warfighting a reality, integrating warfighter ethos into all operations. We did this in addition to maintaining near perfect mission success COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

rates (to include conducting a first ever, full operational mission transfer to backup locations with little to no loss of mission) while bringing on advanced capabilities, including new or upgraded ground command and control systems, antennas and satellites, as well as first-ever capabilities to guard our missions through standing up mission defense teams.

The 50th Mission Support Group was

also pivotal to the new acquisitions, projects and activities by supporting contracts, finance and execution of these projects.

Further, they brought on new activities boosting the welfare of our personnel and celebrating our Airmen’s quarterly award, promotion and graduation successes. This was in addition to providing and expanding security, training, personnel, financial services, legal, medical and other support for our military members and their families so Airmen could keep their focus on the mission.

Similarly, the 50th Space Wing mission partners played a key role in each of the above mission successes as well as success of many other missions throughout Air Force and the Department of Defense.

While I cannot do justice in explaining your work like I can for the 50th SW, I say thank you and congratulations all the same.

We really do have a lot to celebrate.

However, I also realize despite our successes, some of our Airmen face serious struggles. This is where I would like to highlight the work of another group of unsung heroes on our base.

The 50th Operations Support Squadron defeated the 4th Space Operations Squadron 18-12 claiming the 2018 intramural flag football championship at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Oct. 24, 2018. 50th OSS defeated the 2nd Space Operations Squadron 26-0 in the semi-final round.

Champions From page 1 player the first half, and that definitely showed on both offense and defense.

There was always a gap in our defense that they exploited well, which lead them to two quick touchdowns.

“With our offense, it made it tougher to move the ball when they had six of their eight players covering our three receivers,” Shepherd continued. “The numbers just weren’t in our favor.”

Although the rainy weather looked daunting, Boxberger said it did not affect their team’s playing.

“Once we got on the field and into the rhythm, the weather didn’t really play a large factor into our game,” he said.

Boxberger was content with his team’s play.

“Of course, having to punt in the second half when we could’ve gone up by multiple possessions wasn’t ideal,” he said.

“The highlight of the game came through several red zone possessions that were all converted for touchdowns. Being able to capitalize on all of our red zone drives was definitely key to another championship for 50th OSS.” Although 4th SOPS did not come away with the victory, Shepherd felt he played a strong game.

“I tried extremely hard to get open, not dropping open passes, making difficult catches and running each route with a purpose,” he said. “The best moments were catching a few sideline passes to put the team in the best position to score and winning a jump ball over two of their guys.”

“Each championship means a lot to every one of our members, on or off the team,” Shepherd continued.

Boxberger said intramural sports are key to Schriever AFB. “With so many Airmen being dispersed across the base and the restricted area, intramural sports allow for Airmen from

every squadron and career field to come together and compete throughout the year,” he said.

Shepherd said intramurals are important to him because the same characteristics people look for when it comes to their jobs shows when playing for a sports team, like teamwork, leadership, communication, trust and grit.

“It’s not just talent and skill,” he said.

“You can have the best players all on one team but if nobody communicates effectively, they’ll lose. If you are playing for personal stats rather than working as a team, you’ll lose. If you can’t trust your teammates will do their job on the court or field, you’ll lose. If you crumble when times during the game gets tough, you’ll lose. If you don’t show leadership, you’ll lose.”

“If your instinct involves lack of those skills, you’ll make the wrong decisions in those split seconds, even if you’re a really good player,” Shepherd continued.

Boxberger expressed his gratitude to the fitness center staff for organizing events like these.

“Without their constant support each and every game and season, we wouldn’t be able to come together and enjoy base intramurals throughout the year,” he said.

Shepherd praised his team for coming together and working hard throughout the season despite the teams’ small numbers.

“We had a tough time getting people out due to work schedules conflicting with the game, and that meant people had no breaks during the game; everyone played offense and defense,” he said. “Playing as hard as we could to win the games to get to the championship is a big deal in my eyes.”

Shepherd extended his congratulations to the 50th OSS. “We have a really good group of guys, but 50 OSS just had the better game when it counted,” he said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what next year’s team looks like.”

Exercise physiologist extends services for Schriever

William Goins, 21st Medical Group health promotions flight commander and certified exercise physiologist, attaches a ventilation mask to 2nd Lt. Michael Horvat, 2nd Space Operations Squadron mission analyst, before a VO2 test inside Building 135 at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Oct. 25, 2018. VO2 is the name for the equation which determines an individual’s maximum oxygen consumption. It is essential to knowing one’s physical endurance, as the higher the VO2, the longer a person can endure strenuous exercise.

Help save lives

BE THEIR HEROES

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — William Goins, 21st Medical Group health promotions flight commander and certified exercise physiologist, is extending his fitness insight and specialty services for Schriever AFB Airmen.

Through his work with Carol Carr, 21st Medical Squadron health promotions coordinator, Goins is providing dedicated appointment slots for Schriever AFB personnel, both on base and at Peterson Air Force Base.

This is different than before, where appointments with Goins were slotted alongside other Front Range military installations, often leading to cramped schedules and services limited to Peterson AFB. “We’ve been working on expanding services for base personnel for some time,” Goins said. “Now, these services are available to our greater patient population.”

As an exercise physiologist, Goins uses specialized tools and knowledge to assess, analyze and identify an individual’s overall physical condition, specifically acute response and chronic adaptations.

The core of his evaluation is assessing an individual’s VO2 — the name for the equation which determines an individual’s maximum oxygen consumption.

Goins said one’s oxygen consumption is essential to knowing their physical endurance.

“We have several pieces of equipment for this,” he said. “VO2 is the gold standard for cardiovascular fitness. If we know the VO2, and associated heart rates, we can provide very specific programing to improve fitness, decrease disease risk and ultimately improve performance.”

The process typically requires a patient to take a graded exercise test on a treadmill.

While on the treadmill, the patient is hooked up to a metabolic analyzer kit with a ventilation mask See Physiologist page 7

The treadmill’s incline and speed is gradually increased as the machine processes information, the test ends when the patient is no longer comfortable the maintaining speed and incline. The result of the test is a set of measurable data for Goins to analyze.

He can then evaluate the data, show the patient his or her desired heart rate and compile data into a personalized fitness program which features daily workout routines to help them reach their fitness goals.

Additionally, Goins now provides individualized and group fitness counseling for Schriever Airmen, sharing general fitness advice.

The VO2 testing process and other exercise physiologist specialties are used to assist people throughout the country, including many Olympic trainers here in Colorado Springs, known as Olympic City USA. Carr said Goins’ services, combined with her dietician and massage therapy specialties, adds another asset for Schriever AFB Airmen to enhance their physical fitness.

“Goins brings a level of expertise typically reserved for larger bases such as Peterson AFB or the U.S. Air Force Academy,” she said. “Airmen now have access to additional tools to enhance their physical performance and increase their fitness test scores.

“These as well as other health promotion programs are to designed help Airmen improve their nutrition, fitness and overall health,” she continued. “The health promotion vision is to optimize the human weapon system through clinically integrated human performance and leading the transition from healthcare to health.”

Goins said he welcomes the opportunity to make a positive impact.

“This brings more of the human performance element of health promotion to those at Schriever,” he said. “It’s going to make things easier and help a lot of Airmen out.”

To schedule an appointment with Goins, call Carr at 567-4292.

FSA to increase course length, improve skills

By Airman 1st Class Charles Welty Air University Public Affairs

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. — The Air Force’s First Sergeant Academy is increasing resident class length to four weeks to help fuel the chief of staff of the Air Force’s initiative to revitalize squadrons.

The updated curriculum, which began Oct. 22, focuses more on hands-on, scenario-based training to better prepare first sergeants for their role in the squadron command team, an issue identified by the chief master sergeant of the Air Force and other senior enlisted leaders.

“Revitalizing the squadron is a pulse of our Air Force,” said Chief Master Sgt. Manny Pineiro, first sergeant special duty manager. “When it comes to taking care of our Airmen, there is no better way to do it than having a first sergeant,

so the improved course is something that is way overdue.”

The FSA discontinued the distance learning course for first sergeants because of the increased focus on hands-on and immersive learning.

“Prior to the four-week course, we had a distance learning course,” said Senior Master Sgt. Candice Fitzmaurice, FSA director of resources. “First sergeants really weren’t getting what they needed from that course, so not only will they be going through the lessons, but they will now get more hands-on training.”

By discontinuing the distance learning portion of the curriculum, the FSA will now focus on enhancing invaluable skills such as alternate dispute resolution, resiliency, advanced counseling, Uniform Code of Military Justice/ Article 15 training as well as increased engagement with former commanders.

“We are preparing the first sergeants for an opportunity to have a little bit more (situational awareness) as an advisor in the command leadership team,” Pineiro said. “Prior to this new four-week course, two weeks just wasn’t enough time to actually train them correctly. What we did now is give them an opportunity to get more comfortable and more confident so they can be prepared to get out there and take care of their business.”

With the course enhancements in place, the FSA team said they hope this will help offset the decrease in average first sergeant experience, prepare first sergeants to handle current and emerging issues in complex environments, and to enhance performance as part of the command team.

The FSA serves the Total Force, and is a component of Air University’s Thomas N. Barnes Center for Enlisted Education.

The C-32 was dedicated to Chapman, a special tactics combat controller, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary heroism during the Battle of Takur Ghar in March 2002, while deployed to Afghanistan. The ceremony was part of a three-day event celebrating Chapman and his achievements.

Chapman honored with aircraft dedication

By Staff Sgt. Victor J. Caputo 1st Special Operations Wing Public Affairs

HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. — The name John Chapman is already well known in the Air Force community, and will now fly across the globe on the side of an iconic aircraft.

The Air Force dedicated a Boeing C-32 Master Sgt. John Chapman, during a ceremony at Hurlburt Field, Florida, Oct. 26. Chapman was a special tactics combat controller who was posthumously presented the Medal of Honor in August.

“Our nation continues to be the land of the free because of brave men like John Chapman,” Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson said. “The dedication of this aircraft is just one way we continue to honor John’s legacy.”

The aircraft dedication came during a multi-day celebra-

tion of Chapman’s life and legacy at Hurlburt Field. Several members of the Chapman family were in attendance, including his widow, Valerie Nessel, and his mother, Terry Chapman.

“It was an honor to be here with the Chapman family, to be part of this special tribute to John and his heroic sacrifice for our Nation,” said Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David L. Goldfein. “The naming of this aircraft will serve to remind those traveling on board ‘Chappy’ of the caliber of people who have served as Airmen.”

The C-32 is used to provide safe, comfortable and reliable transportation for our nation’s leaders to locations around the world. It is often referred to by the distinctive call sign “Air Force Two” when the vice president, one of the aircraft’s

Chapman’s selfless actions during the Battle of Takur Ghar in Afghanistan in 2002 originally earned him an Air Force Cross medal. A recent review of Air Force Cross and Silver Star medals led to Chapman becoming the first Airman since the Vietnam War, and the first special tactics Airman ever, to be awarded the Medal of Honor.

During the celebration of Chapman’s life, his family toured the base and learned first-hand about the impact Chapman has made on the Air Force. In addition to the aircraft dedication, the 24th Special Operations Wing headquarters building, the home of the Air Force’s only Special Tactics wing, was renamed after Chapman.

Executing the mission vital for UEI success

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

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — For the last two years, the 50th Space Wing has been preparing for the “Super Bowl” of inspections, a Unit Effectiveness Inspection slated for February 2019.

During that period, the 50th SW Inspector General’s office has been urging units to “stay ready in the off season” by focusing on the four major graded areas, emphasizing one each quarter: managing resources, leading people, improving the unit and executing the mission.

With game day right around the corner and the fourth quarter in full swing, the 50th SW IG is advocating Airmen focus on executing the mission.

“All the MGAs are important, but this one is probably the most important because at the end of the day, everything we do is to help us execute the mission,” said Tech.

Sgt. Martin Howard, 50th SW IG exercises section chief.

Executing the mission has three sub MGA’s: primary missions, Air Expeditionary Force Readiness and Mission Assurance Command and Control. Each asks if the right quality, quantity and time metrics are meeting mission intent.

Right quality

“With quality, we are trying to determine if things are up to the professional standard we need in order to execute at a high level,” said Capt. Joseph Villalpando, 50th SW IG exercise program manager.

Villalpando said quality applies not only to the mission, but the people as well.

“Are we raising Airmen of character here at Schriever

AFB,” Villalpando asked. “Have we put the time and effort into making sure our people are competent for the mission and worthy of the trust placed in us by the American public? These are important questions to ask when we determine if we are up to the quality standard.”

Right quantity

“Quantity is the numbers,” Howard said. “Are we supplying the right amount of support to our end users? For deployments, are we able to send the number of Airmen forward as is required of us? If not, what are we doing to fix it?”

Villalpando said preparation and planning are key to ensure the 50th SW is postured to execute the mission under any circumstance.

“Emergencies happen,” he said. “Contingencies happen.

We have to ensure the mission gets executed no matter what challenge the elements or adversaries may throw at us. To do that, we have to have emergency plans and backup plans to the backup plans.”

Right time

“Sometimes, executing the mission late can amount to mission failure,” Villalpando said. “In the space domain, time is critical. So, we ask questions like ‘does our mission execution meet the appropriate time constraints?’ If it doesn’t, we have a problem and we must fix it.”

To help units break down the MGAs and sub MGAs, the 50th SW IG distributed a Commander’s Program Inspection Handbook, which has many specific questions commanders and Airmen should be asking about their programs.

“The CCIP handbook is basically our play sheet for the Super Bowl,” Howard said. “Just as a team that doesn’t know their play sheet is going to fail, we will fail if we’re not executing our plays just like we drew them up. Units should be actively reviewing the handbook to see what can be improved in their area of responsibility.”

Howard pointed out Airmen should look at inspections as positive events designed to help them improve, not punish them.

“Most of the time, if people are doing something wrong, it’s because they don’t know,” he said. “We get that, and commanders get that. We don’t come into your unit looking for people to get in trouble. We come to identify and fix problems.”

To help familiarize Airmen with their role in the inspection process, the 50th SW IG has been conducting roadshows with various units.

“Each and every Airman plays a critical role in the success of this wing during the UEI,” Villalpando said.

“We highly encourage anyone who is unfamiliar with inspections or what they should be doing to get ready, and come to one of our roadshows.”

The next roadshow is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 28. The exact time and location will be publicized when the information becomes available.

Howard noted his office has seen great things from Schriever AFB in the offseason but that the wing should continue to sprint through the finish line.

“Don’t let your foot up off the gas,” he said. “The 50th SW has looked pretty good so far in practice, so let’s take the lessons we’ve learned from our exercises and inspections and execute on game day.”

Executing the mission is one of four major graded areas the 50th Space Wing will be graded on during a Unit Effectiveness Inspection in February 2019. The 50th SW Inspector General’s office is encouraging units to self-assess using the Commander’s Inspection Handbook prior to the UEI.

Hugh Nagle, 21st Medical Operations Squadron medical technician during a flu line at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Oct. 26, 2018. The flu line is conducted to maintain the health and readiness of 50th Space Wing and tenant personnel. Schriever AFB’s medical personnel are reminding Airmen to get their mandatory flu shot as soon as possible, but no later than Dec. 31, 2018. There are currently no more public flu lines planned, but Airmen can walk-in to the Schriever AFB Clinic anytime during duty hours.

Celebrates From page 3 here each and every day supporting our Airmen in need. We will never know how many lives have been changed and even saved by these teams and their members

who dedicate their lives to support our Airmen.

As such, if you find yourself struggling, please do not suffer in silence. While each member of our championship team is important, please recognize everyone at some point suffers an injury and needs to take time to recover (this applies to mental and spiritual fitness as well). If this

is you, I urge you to take time and reach out to get the help you need, the help you deserve and the help these professionals are eager to give.

While we still have a lot of work to do and cannot stop to rest for long, I once again encourage you to take at least a moment and recognize the importance of the part each of you played in the outstand-

ing, even historic, successes at Schriever this past year.

We are truly a very diverse team with a wide ranging set of tasks to accomplish, but I’m impressed by how we come together to excel at our mission each and every day. I am excited to see where we go from here and what new things we will be celebrating into 2019 and beyond.

AF seeking innovators with ‘VQ-Prize’ competition Air Force Space Command Public Affairs PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The U.S. Air Force and the Wright Brothers Institute are offering cash prizes for the creation of visualization tools, including Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality solutions, that will enhance DoD space operator understanding and awareness of satellites and other objects in Earth orbit in a competition set to run from October 29 through January 15, 2019.

The Air Force Visionary Q-Prize Competition was developed to encourage non-traditional industry partners who have limited means to engage with military customers, such as universities, individuals, and small businesses, to find solutions for safe and secure operations in space. No background in space applications is required.

“The need for timely and accurate object tracking is paramount to the defense of space, and this competition will help augment existing capabilities with visualization tools that enable operators to intuitively absorb and quickly navigate massive amounts of space object data,” said Brig.

Gen. William Liquori, Air Force Space Command Strategic Requirements, Architectures and Analysis director.

The Air Force is seeking solutions that will utilize existing data, displaying and processing it in a manner that more thoroughly captures the space picture, while also facilitating

quick comprehension of changes in the moment-by-moment status quo.

“It is not only imperative that space operators receive up-to-date information on this rapidly evolving and highly dynamic environment, they must also be able to quickly process and interpret the information necessary for decisive action on compressed timelines when only seconds may remain to prevent or mitigate catastrophic events,” said Col. Michael Kleppe, Air Force Space Command Space Capabilities Division director.

Select problems have been scoped and packaged for rapid concept generation and tangible product development.

Contestants may submit traditional user interface solutions, displayed or projected on a flat screen, or AR/VR interfaces.

Solutions are desired that present new ways of visualizing and understanding the following types of events: • Satellite maneuvers • High-speed conjunctions in Low Earth Orbit • Proximity operations and relative orbital activity in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit • New object discovery • Satellite/debris breakups

• Constellation insertions (multiple satellites on a single launch) • Lost or “stale” objects All submissions will be evaluated by military space operators, space development professionals, and human factors experts. Some considerations are: • Clear presentation of information • Ability to search for and display specific objects or constellations • Support of user recognition rather than recall • Ability to monitor all critical information simultaneously • Lack of clutter and extraneous information • Lack of overstimulation of the user Up to $100,000 in prize money will be distributed as part of this competition, with multiple prizes awarded for each category and a single VQ-Prize to be awarded to the top overall submission. Specific competition guidelines, prizes, dates, grading criteria, data sets, and submission details will be made available through and be administered by WBI. The challenge will be posted on the WBI Tec^Edge Challenge Pavillion.

Why I wear the uniform

15

PAID ADVERTISEMENT

By Airman 1st Class Xayvion Kenion 50th Security Forces Squadron

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— So far, I’ve pushed so hard through the adversity I have been dealt in my life. People always ask me, why?

When I was in Basic Military Training at a rough point, I asked myself why?

During security forces technical school when I was close to a breaking point, I asked myself why?

The question they asked me, and I ask myself, whenever things get challenging is why I joined. The fact is, patriotism runs deep in my family. We have soldiers, pilots, special forces and various other fields. It felt honorable to follow suit while still doing what I felt fit me.

My goal in joining was to find my personal point of failure and to find the strength within myself to take one more step when I didn’t think another step was possible. To prove to many of those in my life I can do more than work a simple 9 to 5 and go home.

When people join the Air force, it is known there are jokes made. They do not understand how much courage it truly takes to be a part of that one percent. Specifically, the path I chose in my eyes is one of the most noble and unappreciated jobs: defender.

On top of that, we work long days and long nights to protect every single person and property on base. This doesn’t include the first to answer the call when the world needs saving.

I wear the uniform because I want to. I’m not looking specifically for a thank you, any awards or appreciation at all. I joined to know I’m protecting and watching over my brothers and sisters in arms, my family, my country and even others who do not call America home. Putting smiles on the faces of those in need or those in danger is a big part of it too.

I joined knowing there might be a day I will have to sacrifice my life for those next to me, at home and even those who may not know me. I am proud to do that for every American, or a nation we are protecting.

Being able to do what I’m doing or what I

may have to do in the name of those before us is why I wear the uniform with pride.

It’s easy to join and put this uniform on. It’s easy to show up to work or physical therapy, to go about your day and start your shift.

It’s easy to work that shift just enough and then go home when it’s time to clock out. It’s a completely different ballgame when you are willing to go that extra mile and that is the deciding factor. I may be given the title of Airman after a coin ceremony but that is only a start. That title must be kept close to your heart and soul. I will expend every drop of blood, sweat and tears until I have nothing left, even if I end up ends in making the ultimate sacrifice. I will do it with the utmost valor. That is a true Airman and that is why I wear the uniform.

We recently interviewed Marine and former Colorado Army National Guardsman Kristi Smith! The veteran recently completed college and is transitioning into the workforce. She is driven to achieve win-win solutions and talented in developing personal networks. With Mt. Carmel’s help, Kristi has navigated a major career change in alignment with her recently-completed UCCS Communications degree. “Mt. Carmel has helped me meet a variety of transition needs including a hand-up with food assistance — I was a student on a tight budget and really appreciated the help,” said Kristi. “With my professional development, the Peer Navigators helped me with more job leads, improving my resume, and enhancing my job interview skills. The PrepConnect360 course brought all of these aspects together and helped me determine the direction I wanted to go.” The Class of 2018 grad is proud of her accomplishments in college. She developed skills in American Sign Language and successfully reestablished a veteran-focused student club at a college with a high student-veteran population. Today, Kristi is actively pursuing employment opportunities working with diverse groups, mentoring youth, and achieving positive social change in the Pikes Peak Region. “I’m excited to take my sense of community and start to give back. I know the right job is out there.”
