The importance of diversity, experience

By Lt. Col. Matthew Olson 436th Civil Engineer Squadron commander DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — The Air Force continues to drive home the importance of diversity and rightfully so.

We all make better decisions by surrounding ourselves with people who don’t look, think or act how we do.

We also need to diversify ourselves and get outside of our functionally aligned, operational squadron stovepipes. If diverse teams make better decisions, it should also follow that Airmen with diverse experiences make better decisions and are ultimately better leaders.

How can a leader balance the demands of executing the base’s mission and taking care of Airmen in their unit without the diverse experiences necessary to relate to both?

As Airmen, we pride ourselves on our technical knowhow, and functional excellence is a key pillar to the greatest Air Force the world has ever known, but in a resource-constrained, joint and multi-national environment, it’s not enough.

We must be able to think creatively and team with other Air Force Specialty Codes, other services and even partner nations if we’re to maintain our national status as a global leader. If Airmen across the force don’t have the training and experience necessary to think outside T:9.5" of their units T:9.5" and T:9.5" functional

specialties, our ability to rapidly project airpower across the globe will be at risk.

In order to make sure Airmen are up to the individual diversity challenge, it is crucial that the Air Force continues to highlight the importance of and incentivize Developmental Special Duty, career broadening and joint assignments, all while

Space Force promotes first women chief master sergeants

By Airman 1st Class Amanda Lovelace Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — In April 1960, Chief Master Sgt. Grace Peterson became the first woman chief in the Air Force 13 years after its stand-up.

Fast forward to present day, less than one year after the U.S. Space Force activation on Dec. 20, 2019, Chief Master Sgt. Taryn Stys, 4th Space Control Squadron superintendent, and Chief Master Sgt. Karmann-Monique Pogue, 4th Space Operations Squadron superintendent, are the first two USSF members to promote to the rank of chief master sergeant.

“Less than one percent of the enlisted force earns the rank of chief master sergeant.”

“By happenstance, we’re female,” Stys said. “We’re here because Chief Pogue and I did the same things our peers have done, we work hard and we’re both very capable.

As long as we continue to demonstrate that and lead by example, I think that has more impact than anything else. The key for us is to normalize being here.”

Less than one percent of the enlisted force earns the rank of chief master sergeant, and they don’t get there overnight. Pogue began serving in the Air Force in May 1999. Stys joined shortly after in January 2001.

“I grew up in Tucson, Arizona near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base,” Pogue said. “You’d see planes flying around all of the time and I loved it. I remember telling my mom I wanted to do that one day.”

Yolanda Tovar, Pogue’s mom, said she remembers that moment as if it had just happened.

“She was four years old and we were driving down the street passing an Air National Guard base when she saw Airmen lining up, probably to do an exercise,” Tovar said. “She stared wide-eyed and looked at me and said, ‘Mommy, I am going to work there when I grow up and take you places.’ I recall telling her, ‘Yes, you can do it!’ Deep down in my heart, I knew it was going to eventually happen, and at age 19, it did.”

Stys made the decision to join the military after graduating high school. Stys’ mom, Millie Roman, knew her daughter would thrive in the military environment.

“From the beginning, I noticed she was very regimented and determined,” Roman said. “Something about the military really caught her interest and I knew she would excel in it. I encouraged her to follow her heart and what she wanted for her future, and right after high school, she joined the military.”

Looking for the right tenant...

Zack Stys, Headquarters United States Space Force enlisted cyber functional manager, smile for a photo during the chief master sergeant recognition ceremony at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, July 22, 2020.

Stys sewed on the rank of chief master sergeant Oct. 1, 2020, almost one month after transitioning to the USSF.

Stys began her career serving in the USAF as a computer systems operator.

“I had no clue space career fields existed until I was about six years in,” Stys said. “They had the [non-commissioned officer] retraining program and they needed to retrain a bunch of NCOs out of my career field. That’s the first time I actually read up on the [space systems operations] career field. I still had no idea what it was, but it sounded good on paper, so I took the leap.”

If you are having an...

Pogue chose to be a space operator prior to leaving for basic training, but she also knew little about the career field prior to signing up for it.

“I remember the Air Force recruiter handing me a binder that listed all of these jobs, and told me to pick whatever job I wanted,” Pogue said. “I remember flipping through the binder and asking him, ‘What’s this space job?’ He replied, ‘I don’t know, you’ll probably go sit in a missile field somewhere and launch rockets, I’ve never met someone who had this job.’ So I said, ‘Okay, that’s what I want to do.’”

While both chiefs spent most or all of their careers in space operations, neither imagined one day they would actually be a part of a separate branch solely focused on space.

“I remember being a young Airman and talking with my team about how maybe one day we’d have our own branch,” Pogue said. “It’s crazy looking back on those conversations because it finally came to fruition. It’s surreal.”

Pogue transferred into the USSF Sep. 1, and Stys followed Sep. 3. About one month later, both women sewed on the rank of chief master sergeant.

“It is so humbling,” Pogue said. “I don’t think there are words that can surmise how I feel right now. When I walked in to work last week actually wearing this rank, it just made me realize I’m so fortunate, and that I have a lot of work to do. I’m not afraid to do the work.”

In order to earn the highest enlisted rank, both chiefs agreed it takes support from those around you, dedication, hard work, humility and most importantly, leaving things better than they were found.

“It takes a lot of selflessness, [will] to see the bigger picture, and work toward that picture versus your own gains,” Stys said. “For me, anytime I’ve found the greatest success is when, whether it’s a team of people or a program, I ask, ‘How do I make that better?’”

The chiefs have witnessed the USAF become more inclusive and equal for all Airmen, from increased suicide awareness to the repeal of, ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ throughout their time in the service.

Both Pogue and Stys remain dedicated to ensuring all service members are treated equally, regardless of who they are or where they came from.

“It should only be about what you bring to the table,” Pogue said. “What are you doing to continue to build and empower Airmen and leave the service better than how you found it?”

Even though the chiefs have reached the final enlisted rank, they’re still focused on the future and how they can improve the USAF and USSF for future generations.

“At 19, I told myself I would be a chief one day, and it happened,” Pogue said. “So then I’m thinking, ‘Now what?’ And the ‘now what’ is, what do I use all of these stripes for? I use them to take care of my Airmen and team. I use them to take down barriers.”

Practice respect, etiquette, military bearing

By Airman 1st Class Jonathan Whitely Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— Practicing proper respect and etiquette is fundamental to maintaining the military’s structure and is taught to Airmen at basic military training.

“Good office etiquette is the foundation of the connection you will have with your Airmen,” said Master Sgt. Bryan Scroggs, 4th Space Operations Squadron first sergeant. “You lose your credibility as an individual when you don’t show someone the respect they deserve.”

Scroggs said not showing proper respect to an individual can lead to lower morale, especially when it comes from a higher-ranking individual.

“Respect goes both ways,” he said. “You have to show respect to every person you come into contact with while you’re wearing the uniform.”

Scroggs suggested the following tips for Airmen to maintain proper respect and office etiquette.

• When someone of higher rank walks into an office space, stand up until asked to be seated.

• Be engaged and actively listen in a conversation.

• Turn away from the computer and pay attention.

• Be considerate of others in shared spaces.

“The climate we create is important, but

culture sets the tone for an organization,” said Senior Master Sgt. Cory Shipp, 50th Force Support Squadron and Schriever staff agencies superintendent. “It’s on every person within a unit to create a culture of respect.”

Co-workers should never encourage gossip or have cliques as it erodes morale, he added.

“Your initial response to an individual [who] comes to you for assistance is the foundation of the direction a conversation will go,” Scroggs said. “If you do not show the proper respect to that individual, you’re already going down a path of failed communication.”

Airmen should mind the sensitivities of those around them while working in a community office space. They should avoid talking about subjects such as religion, politics or on-going medical issues that can make co-workers uncomfortable unless the other party has made it clear they’re OK to proceed with the conversation.

“With the nature of our jobs, we’re in close proximity of each other frequently,” Shipp said. “Although you can always go to your chain of command, if you have an issue with one of your co-workers, work together to try and resolve it at the lowest level possible.”

Airmen can read Air Force Handbook 36-2618, the Enlisted Force Structure or Air Force Instruction 34-1201, Protocol, for more information regarding respect and etiquette.

Air Force reduces tuition assistance

By Marcus Hill

Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Air Force decreased its tuition assistance allowance from $4,500 to $3,750 for fiscal year 2021. This was to mitigate the rise in the program’s users due to COVID-19, according to af.mil.

Tuition assistance is a program that pays tuition costs for Airmen who take college courses while on active duty.

When teleworking began in mid-March due to the pandemic, more Airmen began to use their TA benefits, causing the $750 reduction to ensure benefits remain for all program users. Credit hour limits remain $250 per semester hour and $166.66 per quarter hour.

“There are several GI Bills and most folks don’t know that.”

“This reduction is across the board and it’s to allow for more people to be able to use TA,” said Dawn Hitt, 50th Force Support Squadron Education and Training section chief. “For us, we’re still doing everything that we normally do to help Airmen get to school.”

Once fiscal year 2022 approaches, Hitt said the Air Force will re-evaluate the program and consider restoring the $4,500 cap.

“If you normally use $4,500 each year or have already planned out your courses to the full TA amount, there may be other options available to supplement the $750 reduction,” said Glenn Franklin, 50th FSS marketing director.

Options such as scholarships are available for Airmen to use, whether that’s through the college they attend or privately funded.

Airmen may also use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid service. The FAFSA is an online form that allows college students to see their eligibility for financial aid and whether or not they qualify.

Should Airmen qualify to receive financial aid, they have the option of Pell Grants, which do not need to be repaid. Airmen can also use their GI Bill, if eligible.

Airmen on active duty for at least 90 days since Sept.

11, 2001, are eligible for Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits. Time spent on active duty determines the Airman’s percentage of benefits.

The education center stands ready to help students apply for and find financial aid to mitigate the tuition assistance program benefit reduction.

Hitt cautioned Airmen to make sure they understand which method is best for their situation.

“We want to make sure if they use the GI Bill as an alternate funding source they know what they’re doing,” she said. “There are several GI Bills and most folks don’t know that. If they apply for one and then realize another was a better option, we can’t undo that. That’s why we want them to talk to us before selecting any of the GI Bills.”

Additional benefit options include the Chapter 30 Montgomery GI Bill, for Airmen who served at least two years active duty; Chapter 31, which is for vocational re-

LEADERSHIP From page 3

Defense experiences bring great perspective and value to teams and problem-solving initiatives.

Even our new Air Force Chief of Staff highlights this in his strategic approach,

“Accelerate Change or Lose,” stating, “Our Airmen must be multi-capable and adaptable and demonstrate value in the diversity of thought, ingenuity and initiative.”

In a world full of dangerous and constantly changing security challenges, it is crucial we develop Airmen who think bigger than their unit’s missions

and have the skills and empathy necessary to team with all types of mission partners.

Deliberately stepping outside of career field comfort zones is paramount for the personal and professional growth required to ensure we’re all ready to contribute and lead on the cross-functional teams.

The next time you’re tempted to shy away from an amazing opportunity to broaden your experiences because you’re afraid it will hurt your career, remember to balance it with the opportunity cost of not building your tool kit as a multi-capable Airman and warrior.

Our great country needs creative problem solving now as much as it ever has.

“Our Airmen must be multi-capable and adaptable and demonstrate value in the

diversity of thought, ingenuity and initiative.”

Building a connection culture: understanding domestic violence myths

By Airman 1st Class Jonathan Whitely Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— October is Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month and it’s important Airmen are aware of myths associated with domestic violence because they can often be dangerous.

Identifying stereotypes and stigmas associated with domestic violence can be helpful to those who are in or have been in an abusive situation as it can help resolve a difficult situation.

“Many people think domestic violence is only physical, and that couldn’t be further from the truth,” said Jessica Ditson, Schriever violence prevention integrator.

“There’s emotional, spiritual and financial abuse. It’s not always a bruise.”

Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate.

Nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men have experienced severe physical violence from an intimate partner. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 43 million women and 38 million men experience psychological aggression from an intimate partner in their lifetime.

However, abuse doesn’t just occur between intimate partners.

“Domestic violence can be experienced by anyone who lives in the same home as you, not just your partner,” Ditson said. “It could be a parent-child relationship, sibling to sibling or between partners, but we must broaden our understanding of who can be impacted.”

Additionally, Ditson said factors such as economic standing have little impact on who experiences domestic abuse.

“We see domestic violence everywhere — across all socioeconomic statuses, all types of neighborhoods, and in the military, across all ranks,” said 1st Lt. Ryan Barney, 21st Medical Readiness Squadron family advocacy officer. “Domestic violence is thought to be the most common crime in the United States, yet one of the least reported crimes.”

Ditson continued, saying it’s on leadership to build a healthy relationship and connect with their Airmen to help identify

when Airmen are going through an abusive situation.

“Airmen should feel safe going to their supervisors for help during their time of need,” she said. “That’s why it’s important we make an effort to connect with one another.

We need to be able to identify problems our Airmen are suffering through [to] help get them into a safer environment.”

Indicators of domestic violence can be bruises, low self-esteem, uncooperative behavior and a change of attitude when the abuser is around.

Airmen and their dependents who are

victims of domestic abuse are encouraged to reach out to helping agencies, such as the Family Advocacy Program.

“Our mission is to provide services for the prevention of any type of family maltreatment, to include domestic violence, inter-partner maltreatment and child maltreatment,” Barney said.

For more information, contact the Peterson-Schriever Garrison FAP at 719556-8943. If you are a victim of domestic violence, call the P-S GAR 24/7 Domestic Abuse Victims Advocate at 719-291-6625.

It’s about supporting your community. Voting gets you involved at the grassroots level in community building, priorities and goals. Not everyone has the same values, make sure our community reflects the best of us.

Do it because they think you won’t. Young people 18-24 are the most underrepresented in voting. VOTE to show them you matter.
