Wasche aids hurricane relief By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Hurricane season is underway this year, and the U.S. has seen devastation from Hurricanes Maria, Irma, Nate and Harvey, each causing wide-spread destruction in its path. The roots of American lives lifted from their foundation, as thousands of families have been affected, many losing their homes, cars and loved ones. To ease the loss and devastation, many people remotely donated money, foods and other goods. Thea Wasche, 50th Force Support Squadron deputy commander, went further, deploying directly to the areas impacted under Harvey as an American Red Cross’ Disaster Relief volunteer.

With her small team, Wasche was responsible for assisting thousands of people, many of whom were upset, frightened and angry at their misfortune. Wasche worked as a shelter supervisor for shelters stood up in Harvey’s wake, providing logistics support and led Red Cross workers in aiding those affected by the storm. “The first shelter I set up was north of Galveston, where a lot of flooding occurred in the bay area,” she said. “It was a community shelter that could support about 45 people. It only stayed open one week to take care of the imminent needs of the community. That includes food and logistics support, healthcare services, case workers and more.” Days later, Wasche deployed to the area hit hardest by Harvey — southwest Houston. The Category 4 storm caused extensive damage upon landfall; however, most of the flooding in Houston was caused by subsequent heavy rains. Texas had mandatory evacuations for 429,700 residents, and voluntary evacuations for 234,120 more. Texas Governor Greg Abbot declared a “State of Disaster” in 58 counties due to Harvey’s impact.

Think pink, think ahead By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

About one in eight women in the United States can expect to develop breast cancer during her lifetime. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about one in 1000. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and both women and men need to be aware of proper precautions one can take to ensure lowest possible risk. Bertha Espinosa, 21st Medical Squadron nurse at the Schriever Air Force Base clinic, explained the month is designed to make the community more aware of breast cancer, and preventive measures people can take to ensure they are at the lowest risk possible. “We (clinic) tell people you need to be aware as you grow older because you are at a higher risk of breast cancer,” she said. A woman’s risk of breast cancer nearly doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister or daughter) who has been diagnosed. Less than 15 percent of women who get breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it. About 5-10 percent of breast cancers can be linked to gene mutations. On average, women with a gene mutation have a 55-65 percent lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. See Detection page 14

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which raises awareness and highlights the importance of early detection. Both women and men are encouraged to be aware of potential risks and to take preventive measures such as healthy eating and regular exercise.

Commentary by Maj. Neal Wall

CSMNG

50th Contracting Squadron commander

Happy Fiscal New Year! I’m proud to report the 50th Contracting Squadron and 50th Comptroller Squadron have successfully brought fiscal 2017 to a close as of Sept. 30. Fiscal 2017 had its challenges from a contract execution perspective. We endured a CSMNG CSMNG prolonged continuing resolution during the first half of the fiscal year, which slowed our rate of obligations leading up to July 31’s mandatory 83 percent obligation threshold. However, with the support of our mission partners, we were able to hit all of our congressionally mandated obligation rates on time. As a reward for meeting the mandatory obligation rates, Air Force Space Command distributed additional funding in September to allow the wing to fund all unfunded requirements. As I reflect on the Air Force core values, as well as challenges and successes of fiscal 2017, I have determined three primary focuses that led to a successful fiscal year: teamwork, trust and respect. The 50th CONS can’t award contracts in isolation and without a teamwork. We rely on acquisitions teams to execute contracts to meet our customers’ needs. The Federal Acquisition Regulation defines the acquisition team as, “all participants in government acquisition including not only representatives of the technical, supply and procurement communities but also the customers they serve, and the contractors who provide the products and services.” Teamwork extends beyond the acquisition community. Teamwork is required between and within all organizations at Schriever; there isn’t a single unit that can successfully

execute their mission without support from other units and there isn’t a single individual within a unit who can be successful without support from his or her fellow Airmen. It takes a team effort to be successful, and requires excellence in all we do. We also can’t award contracts without the existence of trust between and within organizations. The FAR states, “the vision for the Federal Acquisition System is to deliver on a timely basis the best value product or service to the customer, while maintaining the public’s trust and fulfilling public policy objectives.” As a leader, I trust my team to award contracts in accordance with the FAR and to maintain

trust with the public while spending taxpayer dollars. I also trust our customers and mission partners will be effective members of the acquisition team. Without trust, a team can’t rely on its individual members to do their part to achieve the team’s goals. A lack of trust within or between teams can sabotage mission success. A team that does not trust each other is not a team. However, putting integrity first enables individual Airmen and units to trust each other to accomplish the mission. The 50th CONS can’t award contracts without having respect for each other, our customers and our mission partners. Respect is the foundation trust and teamwork are built upon. If team members do not respect each other, then they will not trust each other and the team will fail. Within the Air Force, all members are expected to treat each other with respect, which means treating others the same way you expect others to treat you. Respect can’t be one way, it must be mutual, and this mutual respect facilitates open communication, preventing a toxic environment and leads to a trusting and successful team. Living by our core value of service before self will promote a respectful team environment. Teamwork, trust, and respect; all three are required for a successful fiscal year, not to mention any high performing team or organization. As 50th CONS charges into fiscal 2018, we look forward to another successful year. There will be many challenges, obstacles and successes over the next 12 months, but I know Team Schriever will achieve fiscal year success through the combination of teamwork, trust, respect, excellence in all we do, integrity first and service before self.

21st MDS answers flu FAQs How to protect from the flu?

21st Medical Squadron

The best way to protect yourself from the flu is by getting the seasonal flu vaccine each year. The vaccine protects against the most common flu strains. Additionally, frequently wash hands and isolate yourself or others when they are feeling ill so as not to infect others around you. When coughing or sneezing, use a tissue and throw it away instead of using your hands. When symptoms subside, proper precautions should be taken to prevent others getting sick. Make sure to clean bedding, toothbrushes, and any garments or surfaces that you may have come in contact with.

As cold and flu season approaches, the 21st Medical Squadron wants to help protect Schriever by offering tips to help recognize and prevent falling victim to the flu.

Flu prevention starts with …

Influenza is a very contagious virus that infects the respiratory tract and is spread from one infected person to another. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends all active duty members and their families receive the influenza vaccination. The flu can cause severe illness and complications, especially in the elderly, young children, people with chronic health conditions and people whose immune systems are weak. Last year alone in the U.S., more than 300,000 people were hospitalized and more than 11,000 people died from complications of the flu.

What can 21st MDS do?

Is it the flu or a cold?

Due to the fact that cold and flu symptoms share characteristics, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. However, in general, flu symptoms are worse than the common cold. Flu symptoms include: · Fever* with chills · Cough · Sore throat · Runny or stuffy nose · Muscle or body aches · Headaches · Fatigue

TA ON BASE A ION T A WORK ST

Help save lives

U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Dillon J. Audit

Airmen are required to have the flu vaccination annually. 21st Medical Squadron will have mass flue lines to complete annual requirements once the vaccine has been administered to all active duty medics and first responders.

· Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea (More common in children). * It’s important to note, not everyone with the flu will have a fever.

It’s the flu, now what?

If you are experiencing these symptoms, stay home from work, drink plenty of fluids,

and ensure you get enough rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your Primary Care Manager or report to an Urgency Care Center. For patients with weak immune systems or chronic medical conditions, it’s recommended you seek early intervention from your PCM.

Rest assured that the 21st MDS continuously monitors flu and gastrointestinal illness activity and is ready to help during high activity periods of these well-known illnesses. Currently, the flu vaccine is available to all active duty medics and first responders. Once they are complete it will then be given to the rest of the active duty population and dependents. There will be multiple mass flu line events on base, which will be announced once times and dates have been determined. Additionally, vaccines will be given on a walk-in basis during normal business hours at the Schriever AFB Clinic. The clinic is open 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For additional tips on preventing the flu or other contagious infections, contact the 21st MDS Public Health Flight at 567-2661.

Schriever finance advisor engages with Ellicott students By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Once high school ends and work and college life begins, many young adults are left with a plethora of questions, especially when it comes to managing money. Ellicott High School seniors voted on what subjects they are most unsure about after high school, and finance management took the top spot. Fortunately, Liz Archuleta, 50th Force Support Squadron community readiness consultant, spent a morning sharing advice — the same she often imparts to young Airmen at Schriever — in the form of a financial management class at Ellicott High School, Ellicott, Colorado, Oct. 10. “We reach our financial goals by determining what kind of support we have, how many months it will take one to achieve these goals and how much you need to save every single month,” Archuleta said. “Take all your income, minus your expenses, and take what’s left and put it into savings.” Archuleta gauged the audience, asking how much each student spends on things like phone and car payments, if they had a job outside of school and if they had an allowance. She then divided expenses into a “wants” and “needs” list, helping students identify what should be prioritized. “Now we have to put a price tag next to the items listed,” Archuleta said. “What happens if you don’t make enough that month? If you can’t pay your car insurance? You have to adjust your budget, maybe skip going out to eat and have ramen noodles at home instead.” Archuleta detailed how making a savings plan can exponentially increase savings over time through interest, and can help the students prepare for emergency situations and retirement. “If you put $3,000 in a ten percent interest-bearing investment, by the time you are 65, you could have almost a million and a half dollars,” she said. “This is from only a $3,000 investment. This is called compound interest — interest stacking upon interest. At 65, you can retire, and have a million dollars to do it.” She advocated for smart budgeting and provided details on how this and financial aid programs can help students in the near future, as well as detailed the benefits of joining the military for college. Archuleta advised student loans should only be used as a last resort. “A lot of you are going to have to find a way to pay for college — apply for programs, like a work study,” Archuleta said. “If all else fails, take the minimum amount of student

Liz Archuleta, 50th Force Support Squadron community readiness consultant, explains how to prioritize expenses to Ellicott High School seniors during her financial education class at Ellicott, Colorado, Oct. 10, 2017. Archuleta advocated for students to plan ahead with a budget before going to college.

loans you need. Student loan debts are in the trillions. My advice is to find ways to subsidize your college, you can help do that by saving.” During the class, she handed out free financial strategy books to the students. Archuleta detailed their contents and recommended studying further to help prepare. “In your book there are sections that highlight financial goals; everybody has different goals for what they want to save for,” she said. “You have to set a budget. You have to figure out what your income is and start saving.” Andrea Hernandez, 50th FSS Airman and Family

Readiness Center chief, said the event was an appropriate response to the survey. “Financial education was their top choice,” she said. “This class helped give the students a solid financial foundation to build upon.” Hernandez highlighted how the event not only helps prepare students for life beyond high school, it also strengthens the bonds between Schriever and the local community. “Schriever has a longstanding relationship with District 22, and this is another way to strengthen community relations,” she said.

Cultivate healthy relationships By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

October features Domestic Violence Awareness Month, International Day of Non-Violence and National Bullying Prevention Month. Schriever experts highlight the importance of practicing awareness, prevention and response as well as the importance of making a year-round effort to cultivate healthy relationships and mutual respect. “Primary prevention focuses on reducing interpersonal violence from occurring within our community as a collective Team Schriever effort,” said Dr. Ken Robinson, 50th Space Wing violence prevention integrator. “We focus on everyone, whether there are presenting risk factors or not — preferably we don’t want anyone to be at risk. Helping our community build healthy relationships, often produces resilient Airmen and family members.” Children learn behaviors from an early age that affect how they handle relationships and conflicts throughout their lives. “All kids need to know they are loved and experience a safe, secure relationship with their parents or other caregivers in order to thrive,” Robinson said. “We are designed for relationships — it is from cradle to grave. We do best in safe, secure, loving and attuned relationships, which is called secure attachment. Unfortunately, not everybody grows up with this. For those who don’t, they often learn to withdraw under distress and not trust others to be there for them. This is why it is crucial to develop healthy bonds from an early age.” According to Robinson, those involved in relationships, especially couples, may experience times of drifting apart from each other. This may cause more arguments, feelings of anger which expressed are often attempts to deal with feelings of disconnection. “Some causes of unhealthy relationships are poor role modeling, trauma, immaturity, lack of self-esteem, selfishness and poor communication,” said Shirley Crow, Family Advocacy Program domestic abuse victim advocate. “When one listens to respond or argue rather than listening for understanding, this can be seen as a lack of respect and cause more issues.” There are many risk factors related to violence, such as power control, stalking, intimidation and manipulation. To combat this, building and maintaining protective factors can establish the security needed to maintain a positive lifestyle. Once one has protective factors in place, the individual can begin to focus on themselves, and create stronger and healthier connections with those around them. “‘Safe Haven’ is a clinical term for a secure and healthy relationship,” Robinson said. “This is the best protective factor. If people can work on individual resilience, relational resilience and take part in classes we offer, they would have a winning ticket. This would allow people to thrive, focus on the mission and feel better about themselves and other people.” Robinson wants Airmen and their families to know they have plenty of support at Schriever.

Nimble Titan explores IMD cooperation Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense ANAHEIM, Calif. — Participants from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Ministries of Defense from 23 nations and multinational organizations convened in Anaheim, California for the Nimble Titan 18 Planning Event, the second event of the Nimble Titan 18 Campaign, Sept. 11-15. Nimble Titan is an unclassified, multinational, missile defense series of experiments sponsored by U.S. Strategic Command and led by the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense. Through Nimble Titan, policy and military experts explore potential policies and operational constructs necessary to enable future cooperative missile defense. The campaign serves as a forum for multinational collaboration to facilitate the exchange of ideas. Through experimentation, the objective is to expand international relationships, enhance regional missile defense and strengthen deterrence. The planning event focused on pre-conflict processes for cooperative missile defense. Participants developed notional multinational policy guidance to examine regional and cross-regional defense postures to deter simulated adversaries, while simultaneously preparing to collectively defend each region. The exploration of these potential solutions

will influence future cooperative missile defense policy development, pre-planned responses and operational concepts. Col. Tom Hancock, JFCC IMD Plans, Policy, and Allied Integration director, emphasized the importance of the nations and organizations coming together in cooperation. “More than ever, it will take a combined and joint effort from many nations working together to deter and counter the evolving missile threat,” Hancock said. Col. Roman Krause, Competence Centre Surface Based Air and Missile Defense commander, a combined German and Netherlands missile defense organization, talked about the need for missile defense and the cooperation of Nimble Titan. “If Nimble Titan had not been invented, the most current developments in missile proliferation would certainly urge us, as NATO members and like-minded nations, to come up with such an outstanding event that allows for exploration of nations’ approaches to commonly tackling the most demanding IAMD challenges,” he said. The solutions developed at the planning event shape real-world missile defense policies, programs and capabilities. Planning has already begun for the next Nimble Titan event, which will continue to expand on the accomplishments during this event and previous campaigns.

Relationships From page 6 Schriever Integrated Delivery System programs and workshops are designed to reduce risk factors and enhance protective factors. Programs available to Airmen include Green Dot Bystander classes, First Term Airmen Center classes, Wingman Day courses, couples workshops and many more. “There have been great strides in the awareness of violence and the numbers of programs to support and help,” Crow said. “Law enforcement, judicial agencies and the U.S. military are all learning and growing in their knowledge and response. We live our entire lives being in relationships; it is important to maintain positive ones as it will bring great happiness and richness to our lives.” Robinson added if Schriever members have questions on how to develop healthy relationships, or questions about the programs that are available they can contact him or Jessica Schroeder, 50th SW Community Support coordinator. Many resources are available including the Military and Family Life Counselor Program, Family Advocacy Program, victim advocates and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response office. “Reaching out for help can be intimidating; however if you take the first steps like talking to your first shirt or wingmen, this makes a difference,” Robinson said. “It is my personal and professional belief that people do so much better when they are in safe, secure and healthy relationships. If you are struggling and things are not going well, let us help you. The result of safe haven relationships are people who are healthier, happier, and more resilient. If this is the case, you can take on world together and as an individual.” For more information on programs and assistance, contact 567-4357 (HELP).

Hurricane From page 1

At the time Wasche arrived, the mass flooding that had engulfed many parts of the city in more than 50 feet of water, had mostly receded revealing the scars the storm left behind. “The damage was more than I thought it would be, and it was two and a half weeks into the disaster when I arrived,” she said. “It was like a war zone. The streets were just devastated, just rubble — mile after mile.” She spent most of her days working in mobile transports, giving food and provisions to residents. Wasche then established and supervised a larger shelter in the city’s epicenter, coordinating Red Cross services throughout the region. “Houston is the fifth largest city in the U.S., so you can imagine the thousands of people we would get,” she said. There she faced the same challenges of logistics and resource management, but on a much larger scale. The subsequent impacts of Irma and Maria thinned out Red Cross resources, which meant longer shifts, less supplies and fewer volunteers to serve the influx of people. “They (the Red Cross) were pulling staff and resources,” Wasche said. “You had to do what you could with the resources available.” With her small team, she was responsible for assisting thousands of people, many of whom were upset, frightened and angry at their misfortune. “People were appreciative of what we are doing, but for some it was not fast enough,” she said. “A lot of people just wanted to leave the area, to start over again.” Despite the challenges, Wasche’s subordinates remarked on her ability to provide cordial public outreach and personal touch. “She was really hardworking,” said Kevin

American Red Cross workers unload food outside a facility in Houston, Texas, Sept. 20, 2017. Thea Wasche, 50th Force Support Squadron deputy commander, is a volunteer with the Red Cross Disaster Relief program, helping coordinate the procurement of these supplies and its distribution to those in need.

Blankenstein, a Tennessee native deployed as a volunteer for the first time with the program. “She was really kind, caring and passionate about what she did, always running around making food. She would take the extra time to run out and get supplies to make shelter inhabitants breakfast. She did a lot for both the shelter inhabitants and the volunteers.” Her leadership helped him and his father adjust to their first Red Cross deployment. “She took us under her wing,” Blankenstein said. “We walked in there knowing nothing at all. She was able to focus in on mine and

my dad’s strength and really place us where we would be best to serve. When we moved to the larger shelter (in Houston), there were only three volunteers for 500 people. She managed things really well and was able to secure more volunteers in no time.” Wasche estimates her team’s services helped upwards of 1500 people directly, and potentially many others. While two weeks felt more like six months, Wasche said it was a time well-spent helping those in need. “I love doing what I do because I get to give back to the community,” she said. “Making them feel comfortable through little things,

like just giving them a meal, or socks, and if they asked questions, figuring out how to get to the ‘yes.’” The damage caused by Harvey still remains, and coupled with other hurricanes’ devastations this season, volunteers are always needed. Wasche encourages Airmen to seek volunteer opportunities to help those in need, and looks forward to volunteering again. “I would recommend volunteering anytime for anybody,” she said. “It takes a lot of education and training, but it’s a good opportunity to learn.”

SECAF addresses air, space innovation By Staff Sgt. Rusty Frank Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs Office

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson spoke about the importance of modernization and innovation in space during a Center for Strategic and International Studies forum in Washington D.C., Oct. 5, 2017. “Our mission is to organize, train and equip air and space forces,” Wilson said. “We are the ones, since 1954, who are responsible for everything from 100 feet below the earth in missile silos all the way up to the stars…that’s our responsibility and we own it.” The Air Force faces significant challenges in space because America’s adversaries know how important space is to the U.S., Wilson said. She added the Air Force is responsible for providing the first global utility, which is the Global Positioning Satellite system. This global system which the U.S. military uses is the same system that industry relies on. Whether it’s the local ATM machine or the stock exchange the GPS is at the center, Wilson said. “A huge part of our economy is dependent on what’s done in space,” she said. The Air Force must deter a conflict in space, and has an obligation to be prepared to fight and win if deterrence fails. To that end, the 2018 presidential budget proposed a 20 percent increase for space, which Wilson said is the next frontier of global innovation. The Air Force remains committed to gaining and maintaining space superiority across the spectrum of conflict in defense of the nation, she added. “We need to normalize space from a national security perspective,” Wilson said. “We have to have all of our officers who are wearing blue uniforms more knowledgeable about space capabilities and how it connects to the other domains.” Wilson added in the future space will no longer be a be-

“Our most recent launch out of Cape Canaveral was a Space X rocket that launched, and then recovered using GPS guidance technology back on the pad from which that stage launched,” said Wilson. “That wasn’t possible ten years ago, but it’s being done by American innovation. It’s an exciting time to be part of this enterprise.”

Satellite transmissions cease, no impact to weather mission DMSP F-19 was launched in April 2014. From operational acceptance in June 2014 to Feb. 2016, the satellite provided thousands of hours of weather imagery to the 557th Weather Wing, Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorological Oceanography Center, Monterey, California and the National Weather Service, Silver Spring, Maryland. While space-based weather assets were originally launched and operated by the U.S. Air Force, a 1994 presidential directive realigned primary command and control of DMSP under the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The DMSP constellation is operated by a coalition of mission partners consisting of the NOAA Office of Satellite and Product Operations and the 50th Operations Group Detachment 1, both located in Suitland, Maryland. Specifically, the 50th OG, Det. 1, a component of the 50th OG has Satellite Control Authority and delegates nominal day-to-day operations to the NOAA DMSP operators. A backup operations center, operated by the Air Force Reserve’s 6th Space Operations Squadron, is located at Schriever AFB, Colorado.

50th Space Wing Public Affairs The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Flight 19 ceased transmitting weather data after nearly three and a half years of operational service to Department of Defense and civilian agencies. On Feb. 11, 2016, operators lost the ability to command the satellite following a power failure within the command and control system. The DMSP operations team remained in regular contact with the vehicle and continued to monitor telemetry. However, a loss of attitude control was unavoidable due to the inability to command. The satellite lost attitude control and tumbled, causing the power system to deplete and all satellite transmissions to cease. The tumble began this month and subsequent power will deplete in the coming days. The Joint Space Operations Center will track the satellite and provide conjunction warnings, if required. There is no impact to the strategic weather mission, and the remaining satellites are able to support warfighter requirements through resilient systems and processes. The remainder of the satellites continue to provide weather and atmospheric data to users as it has for the past five decades.

Schriever half-marathon challenges athletes By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

As the year winds down and winter approaches, base members participated in the annual Schriever half marathon Oct. 6, with the still favorable weather. The 2017 half marathon marked the 12th year the fitness center hosted the event that pushed athletes to complete a 13.1-mile run around the base perimeter. “Usually for these events we see a lot of people who have participated in the past, but we have a good mix of people today who are doing this for the first time,” said Seth Cannello, 50th Force Support Squadron fitness and sports manager. “We aim to schedule this event the same time every year,” he continued. “Many times there are new people who may not feel physically ready for it yet, but have their eye on it and want to try it out next year. Typically, we plan the half marathon the first Friday of October.” Approximately 50 participants ran in the event this year. First Lt. Nick Ruiz, 50th Mission Support Group executive officer, placed first overall with a time of 1:28:44. “This run was brutal, especially with all the hills; however, I did better than I thought I would,” he said. “I never forget the first time I ran my first mile in the 4th grade. It stuck with me since I was a kid and now I continue to run, especially because I like pushing myself.” Although it was her first Schriever half marathon, 2nd Lt. Veronica Leddy, 50th Civil Engineer Squadron operations engineering chief, was the first female to finish the run with a time of 1:44:35. “I ran a half marathon last weekend in downtown Colorado Springs and I really liked it, so decided I would do this one too,” she said. “The last two miles of this was rough, but I had a lot of fun today. I think it’s cool the fitness center always puts on events and I definitely plan to participate in more.” Gift cards were awarded to the top three female and top three male finishers and all participants earned T-shirts. “Throughout this, I loved the camaraderie,” Ruiz said. “Running with others, pushing them and seeing them push themselves was my favorite part.” Cannello was pleased with the turnout of participants. “This was a good year for us,” Cannello said. “You never know what the weather will be like; in past years, conditions weren’t as favorable. It was great for a run, the trail was in good shape, and we had a lot of new faces.” For more information on future events, contact the base fitness center at 567-6628.

I am SCHRIEVER:

Learning, lending a hand By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Born in the small town of Copper’s Cove, Texas, Airman 1st Class Stephen Harrison, 50th Space Communications Squadron client systems technician, was looking for a way out of the Lone Star State. “I really wanted to travel and I really wanted to get out of Texas, especially central Texas, and that’s easy if you join the military,” he said. Harrison was originally going to join the Army like his stepmother, who was enlisted for 22 years, and retired as a chief warrant officer. “She was pretty high up there,” he said. “As soon as I said, ‘Hey, I want to join the Army,’ she said, ‘Oh no you’re not. Go to the Air Force.’” Harrison followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and joined the Air Force at 20 and arrived at Schriever February 2016 for his first assignment. “I was stoked when I heard this was my first assignment,” he said. “I had lived in the Springs for a year prior to going back to Texas. It was like I was coming home again.” “It’s way out here in the boonies, so it’s kind of like a home feel for me,” Harrison continued. “I love the mountains and the people.” Harrison decided to pursue a career in client systems due to his love for technology. “I’ve always loved computers and I’ve always been a gamer,” he said. “The day I found out I had the job, I was like, ‘All right, I actually know computers, this will be fun.’” Harrison explained training for the job was mainly administrative, learning how to push computers on to the domain, in addition to learning how to provide customer service. “I’ve always been really good with people,” he said. Cyber security was also a large part of his training, and he said the most important take away from it was to always carry a Common Access Card on person and never leave it outside of arm’s reach. Harrison learned other tips to ensure cyber safety such as updating the computer’s firewall regularly, which his team does for Schriever’s 8,000 members, and to avoid websites that are not secure. In the short time Harrison has been at Schriever, he has yet to encounter any cyber security threats. Harrison works with 20 other Airmen in the client systems technician job, and said he has learned something from each of them. “They’re all very interesting characters,” he said. “They’re all really fun.” However, Harrison’s favorite part of the job is getting out of the office to and teach people new things along the way. “That’s an amazing thing about this job,” he said. “If they’ve never actually been shown what’s wrong or just don’t understand, I can help them figure out what to do to fix the problem.” Harrison continues to learn and grow with the clients he assists. “I’m definitely still learning,” he said. “I call a teammate, and they help me or I’ll just get on the phone and they’ll walk me through it, then I can teach the customer what I’ve learned.” Harrison is currently helping with installing Windows 10 on Schriever computers. Tech. Sgt. Melissa Garcia, 50th SCS non-commissioned officer in charge, said Harrison is personable, and a hard worker. “Harrison was handpicked for the Windows 10 team because of his customer service skills and being a fast burner. He is a very quick learner, and a perfect fit,” she said. Harrison appreciates the leadership of Garcia, and said she definitely keeps him on the right path. Thanks to the Air Force Harrison has gotten more in touch with his passion, and looks forward to growing as a technician and as a person. “I get to meet a whole bunch of people, and go to school and continue to do what I love,” he said. “I just love learning. I love what I do.”

Detection From page 1 “I always let women know just because nobody in your family has (the gene) doesn’t mean you can’t get it (breast cancer),” Espinosa said. Espinosa suggests women in their 20’s should begin self-breast exams at least once a month, if not every day. Additionally men and women should get tested at the clinic to determine whether or not they carry the mutated gene. Espinosa added when women reach 50, it is important to get mammograms. Espinosa has worked at Schriever for seven years, and has seen four cases of breast cancer in 2017 alone.

Harrison is part of the team installing Windows 10 on Schriever computers.

“We always encourage women to start doing their own exams,” she said. “The ideal time to do it is usually after your period, and it’s good to do it every day because then you will notice changes easier. “Any changes should be checked immediately. Most of the time things are benign, but we don’t want to let those things go unnoticed.” Mae Dotson, 21st Medical Squadron registered nurse at the women’s health care clinic at Peterson AFB, explained the goal of breast cancer screening is to find cancer early, before it has a chance to grow, spread or cause problems. Studies show being screened early on for breast cancer lowers the chance a woman will die of the disease. Breast cancer screening is a way doctors check for early signs of cancer in women who have no symptoms of breast cancer

by performing a mammogram using a special kind of procedure. The clinic at Schriever offers well-woman exams, which includes a mammogram. In addition to this, the clinic keeps track of women’s records, and notifies them when they are due for an exam. Although mammograms expose you to some radiation, studies show the number of lives saved by finding cancer early outweighs the little risks that come from radiation exposure. “We are catching it earlier, so there is less death,” Espinosa said. “In the exam, we always let women know what kind of things they can do to prevent breast cancer, and the rate of breast cancer has dropped because of increased awareness. “If you’re a woman, that’s one strike. As you age, that’s strike two.” Dotson added routine screening with

mammograms should continue as long as the woman is healthy and expected to live for at least 10 more years. “The main benefit of screening is it helps doctors find cancer early, when it might be easier to treat,” she said. “This lowers the chances of dying of breast cancer.” However, if a mammogram is abnormal, don’t panic. Nine out of 10 women with an abnormal mammogram turn out not to have breast cancer. Further testing will determine whether or not the abnormality is cancer. Other tips to reduce risk of breast cancer include healthy eating, exercise, minimal alcohol consumption and not smoking. “We don’t want to exclude anyone, including men,” Espinosa said. “We encourage everyone to be healthy.” For more information, or to schedule an exam, call the clinic at 524-CARE.
