THIS WEEK Fire Prevention Week Fire prevention week is Oct. 7 — 13. Protect your family from fire with these tips: Safe use and proper installation of household appliances that burn fossil fuels, (i.e. fuel fired furnace, gas water heater, gas stoves, fireplace) is the best protection you can provide your family. Carbon monoxide detectors can add a level of protection, but are not a substitute for safe use of equipment. Have all heating equipment inspected and serviced each year. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation; install at least one carbon monoxide detector near sleeping areas (within 15 feet) and one on every level of your home. Carbon monoxide detectors should be replaced after seven years of service or as recommended by the manufacturer. For more information, contact fire prevention at 567-3370.

Airmen run with the POW/MIA flag in the early morning hours during a 24-hour vigil run at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 19, 2018. Airmen from various squadrons continuously ran with the POW/MIA flag in 30-minute intervals, with more than 70 participants carrying the flag for a total of 120 miles.

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Schriever Airmen honored the sacrifices of POW/MIA service members during POW/ MIA Remembrance Week Sept. 17 — 21.

POW/MIA recognition has been a part in U.S. military history since the first officially documented cases during World War II. In

1979, Congress passed a resolution establishing POW/MIA recognition day the third Friday of every September. Sept. 21 was the 39th anniversary of the event.

“It is our duty to pay the utmost respect to our fellow service members and their families,” said Master Sgt. Damion Parris, operations superintendent with the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron and event lead. “Many

are still continuing to pay the ultimate price, and have endured things most of us can’t even imagine.”

The week began with a ceremonial reveille and opening ceremony in which the POW/ MIA flag was raised alongside the U.S. flag in front of a formation.

By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— The 50th Force Support Squadron held a Customer Appreciation Day to encourage camaraderie and morale between Schriever Airmen, Sept. 24.

The day consisted of Robin Hood Archery Tag and corn hole tournament, a stunt show

performed by the Superhero Stunt Team, a longest drive competition, and featured the band “Voodoo Hawks.”

Staff Sgt. Zachary Miller, combat arms noncommissioned officer in charge with the 50th Security Forces Squadron, thought the day was a success.

“A lot of time and work went into it to ensure everyone could have a good time,” he

said. “I feel that it is important to have some fun days to kick back and relax, and let some of the work stressors out.”

Staff Sgt. Clifton Cole, trainer with the 50th SFS, thought the event benefitted Airmen and brought them closer together through events not normally hosted at Schriever AFB. See Appreciation page 8

50th Space Wing chaplain

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— A couple of weeks ago, we posed a question on the Deep Space chalkboard outside our office: “What was the hardest thing CSMNG you ever went through?” We received a number of responses, some lighthearted like, “Stepping on a Lego” and some serious like, “Watching my grandmother die.”

As a chaplain, I have the sacred duty to walk with people during these difficult times. I have performed dozens of funerals and memorial services for people of all ages, the youngest just a few weeks old to the oldest in her 90s.

A couple of years ago, I did a funeral for an 87 year old World War II veteran.

He started out in the Army Air Corps as a bombardier on a B-17, flew in the European theater and later joined the Air Force where he retired as a senior master sergeant As I talked with his wife of more than 60 years, she continued to tell me what a great man, friend and husband he was. I got to hear a few stories, which validated that confession, and I thought, “This man left quite a legacy.”

Although all funerals are tough, when a person leaves a good legacy, the sadness of the occasion is tempered by the joy they brought, which continues to reverberate through time. During the service, I get to honor that person and share nuggets from a life well lived.

COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

Maj. Martin Adamson 50th Space Wing chaplain

Not often do we think about our legacy.

We are busy living life, working, playing, surviving, thriving. Every once in a while, the opportunity to reflect comes along.

Last week during the Air Force’s 71st birthday celebration, Col. Jacob Middleton, vice commander of the 50th Space Wing, shared about Airmen pioneers who set us up for success, and he challenged us to do the same for those who will follow us. Legacy.

Every time I do a funeral, I think about such things. If we could peer into the fu-

ture to our own funeral, what might some chaplain someday be saying about us and the legacy we left behind?

Is it a good one? There would be at least one good thing to say: “They served their country.” Joining the military or civilian service is the beginning of a great legacy.

But it is just the beginning. What else might they say? He was a good husband? She was an awesome supervisor? A fantastic mom?

Encouraging roommate? Inspiring coach?

Loyal friend? Great Airman? What stories might they share?

Young or old, as long as we breathe, we have the opportunity to shape that legacy for good. That is an amazing opportunity.

Seize it with passion, perseverance and fun, knowing that it makes a difference for those who follow.

Former President George Washington, after serving two terms, said in his farewell address, “I carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view my faults with indulgence; and that after 45 years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.”

He acknowledged his shortcomings, but he also admitted his zeal for service of the country, which left quite a legacy.

For us, today is the time to live life well.

To serve with zeal.

What will our legacy look like?

“Young or old, as long as we breathe, we have the opportunity to shape that legacy for good.”

Dylan Pooler, Lori Lindblad and Dalton Pooler gather at a restaurant in Waianae, Hawaii, Aug. 4, 2018. Lori is mother to Dylan, Dalton and the meet with each other and their loved ones for family days each week.

Tracking Station twins, mom know family comes first By 1st Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station frequently gets called a family, not just because of its small workforce, but because of the connections people establish with one another.

One of those said connections is “thicker than water.”

Lori Lindblad, logistics specialist and longtime employee of Kaena Point, has had her roots planted there for over 12 years, resurfacing in the form of her twin boys, Dylan and Dalton Pooler.

“I don’t think of them as my children at work,” she said. “They don’t look at me as mom, I don’t look at them as my kids, we’re coworkers and that’s it.”

Lori explained how Dalton was the first of her sons to work at the site, following in his mother’s footsteps, starting as a janitor.

As time went on, he was able to occupy a facility technician position, leaving the janitorial spot open for Dylan.

“By chance I just asked Shane, my boss, ‘what if Dylan applied? Would that be too much?’” she relived. “Shane, love the man, said ‘well, it can’t hurt to try.’”

Ever since, Dylan and Dalton have been fixtures at Kaena Point, and operate dayto-day with their desks right next to each other. However, their work keeps them separated more often than not.

“Pretty much 95 percent of the time, I’m nowhere near my desk,” Dylan said.

Dalton agreed with his brother, who also gets pulled outdoors frequently.

“Even when he is at his desk, I might be around the site doing my safety checks or checking on vehicles,” he said. “Every once in a while we’ll probably get a good ten minutes in, talking, just to keep tabs.”

Dalton and Dylan Pooler, facility technician and janitor for Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station, share stories about their childhood at Kaena Point Tracking Station, Hawaii, Aug. 16, 2018.

The Poolers twins surprised their mother, who was only expecting one baby before delivery.

The brothers, while not close at work, confidently explained their relationship at home, and how they differ in personality, despite similarities in looks.

“We were pretty close-knit, we were each other’s first best friends,” Dalton said.

“He’s more social and outgoing, so he attracts the most people into conversations, and I just throw my two-cents in there to let people know I’m still there.”

While Dylan agreed, he also elaborated on the positives of his brother’s personality.

“Everyone likes him, he’s the glue that

kind of sticks everything together,” he said. “He’s also stubborn, but it’s good to have (him) around.”

Both brothers sang even higher praises for their mother.

“That’s the real glue,” Dalton said.

“Everyone’s her friend, so that’s where he gets his personable side, and it’s where I get the stubbornness.”

“She is mom,” Dylan continued. “She is our mom, she is our friend’s mom. She is the mother. That’s the only way I can explain it.”

Lori is thankful, not only to have her

boys near her at work, but to be able to connect with them and their entire family outside of work.

“Out of work, we are very family oriented,” she said. “We have family day on Sunday.”

Family Day for the Lindblad/Pooler crew, as they explained it, is when they get together to spend time with each other and the youngest member of their family, 17-month-old Haylee.

“We were already close as it is, so when Haylee came into the picture she was thrown right in,” Dalton explained. “We didn’t have to change anything about how we were, how we react or how we talk.”

Talking about her boys, and the successes they’ve made to this day, Lori couldn’t keep her pride from bubbling to the surface.

“I’m very happy, there’s no words to explain how happy and proud I am to say those are my boys,” she said. “I’m a very fortunate mom.”

Even when explaining how they entered her life, Lori expressed nothing but gratitude.

“They’re surprise twins,” she explained.

“I was pregnant. They thought I was having one baby, they put the heart monitor on Dylan’s head, and when Dalton came out, they detected another child. So I call him my ‘Fooler Pooler.’”

“They’re my pride and joys,” she continued.

The Lindblad/Pooler family is just one of the examples of how Kaena Point operates as family, and that family is happy to be working there.

“I love being a part of Kaena Point,” Lori said. “I’m very proud to say I’m a part of this team, I wouldn’t change it for anything.”

Schriever bonds through art

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

SCRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Airman and Family Readiness Center hosted an Art Lunch and Learn in the Satellite Dish dining facility Sept. 20, at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.

The interactive program allowed the Airmen to get out of their offices and unwind with art while enjoying their lunch. The Art Lunch and Learn is an artistic workshop where art is used as a medium of expression.

“It’s a fun and fantastic way to create a sense of community and foster growth on Schriever,” said Ruth Moore, community readiness consultant with the A&FRC. “Participants could bring their lunch or grab something from the dining facility.”

Moore and Liz Archuleta, also a community readiness consultant with the A&FRC, organized the event.

The participants decorated brown bags which will be used at the Ellicott High School’s food pantry that served more than 50 local families.

Second Lt. William Laurence, officer in charge of satellite communications operations with the 4th Space Operations Squadron, attended the lunch and learn and said the event was meaningful and a good destressor.

“I was able to relax and get away from the wildness and stress of work, be creative painting as many bags as I wanted with friends and meeting other people,” he said.

Laurence said the event helps Schriever AFB and benefits the local community by bringing everyone together through art and conversation over lunch.

“Coloring these bags remind us that we have a purpose. We are here to serve others in our Air Force and local community,” he said.

Moore said the next Art Lunch and Learn is scheduled for 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Oct. 23 and the A&FRC’s aim is to offer awareness on Comprehensive Airman Fitness for the Schriever AFB. “We want to engage the participants and provide opportunities for training and development,” she said.

Hispanic Heritage Month takes place Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 to recognize Hispanic and Latino-American heritage. The theme for this year is “Hispanics: One Endless Voice to Enhance our Traditions.”

Hispanic Airmen share stories, highlight diversity

By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — HispanicAmericans serving in the armed forces are a fundamental part of an increasingly diversified military.

In recognition of this, Hispanic Heritage Month takes place Sept. 15 through Oct. 15.

The theme for this year is “Hispanics: One Endless Voice to Enhance our Traditions.”

According to the Air Personnel Center website, Hispanic service members make up 14.3 percent of total Air Force personnel, and that number is growing.

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon B. Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period.

“National Hispanic Heritage Month is important as this is a time where we recognize all the contributions Hispanic people have made to the United States,” said Tech. Sgt. Joseph Vazquez, flight chief of operations support with the 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron.

Having spent his adolescent years in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, Vazquez shared his heritage.

“In middle school, I moved to Puerto Rico,” he said.

“Getting the opportunity to live and see where my parents grew up was an amazing experience — I love my culture.”

Proud of her Mexican background, Senior Airman Bianca Alonzo, financial analyst with the 50th Comptroller Squadron, grew up in McAllen, Texas, where she lived only miles away from the U.S. — Mexico border.

“The Mexican community was so big in my town,” she

Looking for the right tenant...

said. “Growing up, we used to drive to a town called Reynosa, where some of my family lived. We would go and just enjoy the overall atmosphere. Those small towns we visited are where the heart of Mexico is. I always enjoyed getting to know the people, their traditions and soaking up the culture every time I went.”

Vazquez and Alonzo both share a passion for family values, saying how it is a key aspect of their Hispanic heritage.

“One of the best parts of moving to Puerto Rico was meeting so many family members I never knew I had,” Vazquez said. “One thing I will always remember is our huge family gatherings during the holidays. We have a tradition called ‘parranda.’ We would go door to door singing songs and playing instruments. We would go all across Puerto Rico and pick up family members along the way until we eventually had the entire family together.

“Having those values and pride in our heritage is something I want to instill in my children,” he continued. “My kids have never been to Puerto Rico, but I intend to take the whole family one day.”

Following the paths of their family members’ military careers, both Airmen decided they wanted to serve their country too.

“I have uncles and cousins who are in different branches of the military,” Alonzo said. “In high school, I was in the Marine Corps JROTC. After high school, I worked and went to school but as time passed, I was inspired by my family members who were serving and realized my desire to join.”

Vazquez said his parents encouraged him to take the Air Force path.

If you are having an...

“My parents told me ‘you have three choices: Air Force, Air Force or Air Force,’ so there was no difficulty in choosing what branch to join,” he laughed.

“My mom and dad both served in the U.S. Army,” he continued. “My mom joined the military straight out of Puerto Rico knowing zero English. She faced a lot of challenges, but she kept her motivation. Hearing about her struggles has definitely helped to motivate me in my Air Force career.

Many values my parents instilled in me growing up were a solid foundation for my military career.”

In addition to their own cultural perspectives, Vazquez and Alonzo’s time in service opened their viewpoints to the values and customs of other cultures as well. They believe diversity has helped introduce new perspectives and means for the military to thrive.

“Without diversity, we won’t be able to learn or grow,” Alonzo said. “We all bring a certain piece to the puzzle — we are all different and can add something to the team that others won’t be able to. That way, we all start to fit in with each other and create a beautiful collage.”

Knowing the importance of diversity in the military, Alonzo spearheaded the Hispanic Heritage booth for Diversity Day. “A main reason why I led that booth was to show people there are so many different Hispanic cultures out there,” she said. “We are all unique in our own way. I wanted to bring a light to the Hispanic world.”

Hispanic service members, like others, have brought their cultural values into the ranks, contributing to the Air Force and the military way of life.

Moving and want to reach the right market...

Remembrance From page 1 This was followed by a 24-hour run, where Airmen from various squadrons continuously ran with the POW/MIA flag in 30 minute intervals. More than 70 participants carried the flag for a total of 120 miles.

Airman 1st Class Michael Weersma, client systems technician with the 50th Space Communications Squadron, participated in the run and said it was an honor to carry the flag.

“I always say the whole experience was much harder on our families than it is on us...”

U.S. Navy Lt. Robert Wideman, pilot and POW “I felt like it was part of my duty,” he said. “It was a rewarding, meaningful experience I would gladly do again next year.”

The week concluded Sept. 21, National POW/ MIA Remembrance Day, with U.S. Navy Lt. Robert Wideman, a pilot and POW during the Vietnam War, sharing his story of resilience.

“I was rolling in at 10,000 feet in my fighter jet when I heard a metallic click, and I lost control,” he said.

Wideman crashed over North Vietnam and was soon captured by the enemy, spending years as a POW and was subjected to torture.

“I always say the whole experience was much harder on our families than it is on us,” he said. “We knew our status, our families didn’t have a clue. It destroys families not knowing where their loved ones are.”

Lt. Col. Lewis Sorvillo, deputy commander of the 50th Network Operations Group, said Wideman’s speech was inspirational and highlighted what it means to wear the uniform and the sacrifices that come with it.

“I couldn’t even imagine going through what he went through,” Sorvillo said. “His story was moving and reinforced the importance of what we do.”

According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agencies website, more than 82,000 American service members remain missing from World War II onwards, 41,000 presumed lost at sea. Many of those taken as POW’s are never found.

Parris said he was honored and privileged to lead the base in recognizing those who made the ultimate sacrifice serving the nation.

“I would like to thank the men and women of Schriever Air Force Base for their support on making these events happen,” he said. “We must never forget those men and women who have given all to defend freedom and the American way of life.”

“The day helped build morale and decompresses people from their day-to-day grind,” he said.

Both Miller and Cole agreed the archery tournament was the highlight of the day.

Similar to dodgeball and paintball, players are divided into two teams of five to six players, with each team trying to be the first to eliminate opponents.

“It’s fun to play competitive team sports and see everyone’s motivation,” Miller said.

Cole concurred, adding events like these bring out the competitive side of Airmen, boosting morale and camaraderie.

“I’m a competitive person, so I enjoy events like that,” he said.

Seth Cannello, fitness center director with the 50th FSS, also said the archery tag event went well, with the 50th Operations Support Squadron placing first.

“We only had four teams register, but more than 100 showed up and played after the official tournament, to include myself,” he said.

“It was a blast and I’m looking forward to hosting competitions like this in the future.”

Cannello added archery tag was like dodgeball but with soft arrows.

“It didn’t hurt as much as paintball when you got hit,” he laughed. “It was a great workout, the event was a lot of fun, and I’d love to see more people take advantage of this opportunity the next time it comes around.”

Cannello said the longest drive competition was also a huge success, with more than 50 Airmen participating and cheering on competitors.

“Staff Sgt. Daniel Wood from the 379th Space Range Squadron hit a ball 313 yards, narrowly defeating 2nd Lt. Ryan Ververs from the 2nd Space Operations Squadron who drove a ball 308 yards,” he added.

The Superhero Stunt Team performed twice throughout the day, showing off BMX tricks for Airmen, encouraging them to get loud.

“I thought they did a really great job pumping up the crowd and performed some amazing tricks,” Cannello said.

One of the 50th Space Wing priorities, “Take care of our Airmen and families always,” rang true during the event. The 50th FSS ensured Airmen were able to engage in fun, unique activities with their peers.

“I hope that in the future, more people take advantage of these unique opportunities,” Cannello said.

Mattis pays tribute to POW/MIAs

from North Korea. He said President Donald J. Trump made this a priority in his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and that DPAA has identified two service members among the remains: U.S. Army Master Sgt. Charles H. McDaniel and Army Pfc. William H. Jones.

“Our POWs, our missing in action, their families — they have met the most terrible challenges undeterred, with the highest fortitude, honoring a nation that loves them for what they call out in each of us,” Mattis said.

“And for that, we owe them an irredeemable debt of gratitude.”

By John D. Banusiewicz DoD News, Defense Media Activity

WASHINGTON — Service members who were held as prisoners of war and those still missing from the nation’s wars deserve respect and admiration from the nation for which they fought, Defense Secretary James N. Mattis said Sept 21.

Mattis hosted the Defense Department’s annual National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony at the Pentagon River Terrace Parade field.

“Those who don the uniform — in particular, those who suffered in captivity or have gone missing in distant lands — serve as enduring proof that America still turns out warriors of true character and grit,” Mattis said.

While all who have worn the uniform deserve admiration, Mattis said, those who were prisoners of war “deserve our deepest respect.”

“We recognize the crucible that they went through,” he said, “and we will never let their sacrifices wither in the compost of history.

They returned home to us as role models for honor and courage, and we remember their uniquely tested heroism every day.”

That heroism, Mattis said, is embodied by Air Force Chief Master Sgt. William Tiffins, who was present at today’s event with his family. Tiffins served as a soldier in World War II and was held by the Germans as a prisoner of war for 18 months and eagerly re-enlisted as an Airman when he returned home. The secretary also noted the sacrifices of Arizona Sen. John McCain, who was a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. McCain died Aug. 25. “[He] did not let the torture that he endured define his lasting service to America,” Mattis said. Like Tiffins, he said, McCain returned home eager to serve again, “dedi-

cating his life to public service with what his daughter Meghan called ‘ferocity and faith.’”

Honoring the Missing

As the nation honors those service members who returned after enduring captivity by the enemy, Mattis said, it also honors those still missing in action and those awaiting their return.

“And we thank their families for their unrelenting courage and faith as we strive to bring them home,” he added, noting that some of them were on hand for today’s observance.

The secretary expressed gratitude to

Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, veteran service organizations and other advocates for their “fierce resolve and “tireless commitment” to realize the mission of accounting for those still missing. Their work gives today’s warriors great confidence that their nation will “go to the ends of the Earth to bring them home.”

DPAA conducted 45 recovery missions and 36 investigations around the world in the past year, Mattis said, and identified 172 individuals from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Mattis noted that in August, 55 cases of remains were returned to the United States

“On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor all American prisoners of war and express our deep gratitude for the courage and determination they exemplified while enduring terrible hardships,” Trump said in his proclamation marking this year’s event.

The president also stressed the importance of accounting for those still missing.

“As a nation, it is our solemn obligation to account for the remains of our fallen American service members and civilians and to bring them home whenever possible. We owe an incalculable debt of gratitude to these patriots who gave their last full measure of devotion for our country. For this reason, I have pledged my administration’s best efforts to account for our country’s missing heroes.

“We continue to work to account for the missing personnel from the Vietnam War,” he continued. “American and partner nation search teams are also working tirelessly in South Korea, Europe, the South Pacific, and elsewhere around the world to recover and identify those who served in World War II, the Korean War the Cold War, and other past conflicts.”

Schriever Airmen gather for a photo with their furry teammates after the Ellicott High School donkey basketball mini tournament in Ellicott High School, Ellicott, Colorado, Sept. 20, 2018. The team placed second in the tournament, losing the Rock, Paper, Scissors tiebreaker after tying the final set 2-2.

Airmen compete in donkey basketball tournament

ELLICOTT, Colo. — Schriever Airmen went head-to-head against Ellicott High School students and faculty members during a donkey basketball mini tournament at Ellicott, Colorado, Sept. 20.

The event was an opportunity for Airmen to volunteer for a unique activity while partnering with the local Ellicott school.

It featured participants riding donkeys while trying to pass a basketball to teammates and score points inside the high school’s gymnasium.

According to Khalil Davis, space vehicle operator with the 1st Space Operations Squadron and Schriever team member, the event was not only a fun volunteer opportunity, but a challenge as it required coordination, accuracy and lots of patience.

“First, you had to get the donkey to calm down,” Davis said. “It took a bit, but we finally started moving, coordinating as a team and scoring points.”

Each team consisted of four riders who substituted in between two eight minute matches making up a 16 minute set. The trained donkeys were assigned to the player based on their weight and size and given protective saddles for their health.

Schriever AFB’s ten-person team prevailed over the high school faculty members’ team in the first set with a score of 6-4, before moving on to the eight minute championship match.

McKinney Malory, maintenance analyst with the 50th Space Communications Squadron, said the first set was all about adjusting to the game’s unique transportation.

“I flew off the donkey a few times,” he said. “However, once you get the hang

of riding the donkey, it was a lot of fun.”

The championship match pitted the Schriever AFB team against the Ellicott boys team, clad in their home team jerseys and protective padding, in a well-contested bout.

Malory put points on the board for Schriever AFB with an aimed shot from the free throw line, while the boys team came back with an off-the-rim shot late in the first half.

The second half was no holds barred, with both teams’ members, on and off donkeys, rushing the gym floor in an effort to get the ball.

Malory said he was probably more confused than the donkeys were as the final half turned into a free-for-all.

“It was crazy,” he said. “My donkey was very temperamental the whole time. It was an interesting experience.”

After the court cleared, the score was tied 2-2. The decided tiebreaker was a classic game of rock paper scissors.

Malory stepped to the plate, saying he saw a chance to lead his team to victory.

Unfortunately, his split second decision to go with rock was met with his opponent’s paper.

“If we just played a one-on-one match we would’ve won,” he said.

Despite the loss, Cameron Crabtree, extremely high frequency satellite systems operator technician with the 50th Operations Support Squadron, said the tournament was a blast and a unique experience to engage with the local community for a good cause.

Crabtree encourages Airmen to volunteer, no matter how ridiculous the opportunity sounds.

“Get out there and volunteer,” Crabtree said. “Also, if you ever have a chance to play donkey basketball do it, it’s fun.”

Khalil Davis, space vehicle operator with the 1st Space Operations Squadron, keeps his eye on his opponents during the Ellicott High School donkey basketball mini tournament at Ellicott High School, Ellicott, Colorado, Sept. 20, 2018. Schriever Airmen participated in the unique volunteer opportunity to strengthen bonds with the local community.

AFTAC uses failure to evolve

By Susan A. Romano AFTAC Public Affairs

PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company and captain of industry once said, “Failure is the only opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely.”

One Air Force organization is taking Ford’s words to heart. The Air Force Technical Applications Center is emphasizing to its workforce the importance of learning through failure.

In 2013, AFTAC formed an Innovation Lab to find ways to improve and accomplish their mission by developing concepts and technologies faster and cheaper. But the number one reason for establishing the lab was to enable innovators within the center to take calculated risks and evolve from failure to achieve success. From that concept grew the center’s “eFAILution” wall, a prominent centerpiece of projects displayed on the wall that didn’t quite make the grade. It’s what lab personnel describe as “a lineage of success born of failure” and their central message is simple: continue to learn and evolve from your mistakes.

“AFTAC has some of the most incredibly talented people in the Air Force,” said Col. Chad Hartman, AFTAC commander, “but our most powerful attribute is this organization’s long-standing culture of continuous learning. We are not simply ‘celebrating failure’ at AFTAC; what we are celebrating is a willingness to take risks and fail forward in order to learn.”

AFTAC’s team of premier enablers of innovation looks at failure as a means to achieve a better, more productive outcome, with an aim at unleashing a innovation mindset.

“When people come to the lab with a concept, we don’t want them to feel discouraged if their design doesn’t work the first time,” said Master Sgt. Nathan Shaw, lab superintendent. “The whole idea is to cultivate and capitalize on the talent of the

Projects developed by members of the Air Force Technical Applications Center are on display in the Innovation Lab at Patrick AFB, Florida. The lab built an “eFAILution” wall — a prominent centerpiece showcasing projects that didn’t quite make the grade. Lab personnel describe the wall as “a lineage of success born of failure.”

workers here at AFTAC and encourage them to take their concepts and make them a reality, all while operating in a positive learning environment.”

The lab’s wall has about a dozen projects ranging in scope from a cooked Raspberry Pi (a tiny single-board computer) to an en-

tirely 3-D printed programmable rover that can be operated remotely or autonomously.

The lessons gained from these failures have energized the lab team and AFTAC’s more than 1,000 strong workforce to rethink solutions to problems.

“There has been a lot of discussion at all

levels in the Air Force recently about failure,” said 1st Lt. Drew Belk, Innovation Lab flight commander. “The secretary of the Air Force and the Air Force chief of staff have been stressing the importance of ‘shaping See Applications page 14

Applications From page 13 our competitive edge’ through innovation, which includes learning from failure, even if it means accepting more risk.”

Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson recently spoke at a conference in Montgomery, Alabama, where she said, “It doesn’t matter to me if (Airmen) get it right the first time. It matters to all of us that we keep innovating constantly, rather than sitting back and analyzing people for failure.”

Belk is encouraged by Wilson’s leadership and views on the importance of failing in the name of mission accomplishment.

“I believe the key thing to remember is failure is only fatal if it is final. Failure provides us the opportunity to learn and make the next iteration better,” he said.

Any successful inventor will tell you that virtually nothing ever works on the first try. That’s why AFTAC’s senior leaders realize one of the key ingredients to the lab’s success comes down to one word: persistence.

“Typically, high-speed thinkers are full of ideas and work hard to transfer their ideas from thought-to-product,” said Dan DeForest, AFTAC’s director of strategic integration. “Sometimes, however, their ideas simply don’t come to fruition, whether that’s due to a design flaw, engineering obstacle, or even a lack of resources.

But they don’t give up — they continue to persist and seek out workable solutions. It’s senior leadership’s job to clear the path to allow this persistence.”

Couple that persistence with failure and learning, and you have a recipe for success.

“The value of learning from failure cannot be overstated,” Hartman said.

The team of AFTAC Airmen who make up the Innovation Lab possess a diverse set of skills: electrical, chemical and mechanical engineers; computer scientists and programmers; technical applications

“We are not simply ‘celebrating failure’ at AFTAC; what we are celebrating is a willingness to take risks and fail forward in order to learn.”

Col. Chad Hartman, AFTAC commander specialists; and machinists, just to name a few. Each Airman has demonstrated a persistent desire to excel while applying their vast knowledge and abilities.

“One of the more enjoyable challenges in the lab is thinking of ways to improve things that already work,” said Tech. Sgt. Collin J. Pesicka, noncommissioned officer in charge of rapid development. “When you spend time fixing things that are broken, you can’t help but wonder about complacency. That’s why we began saying, ‘If it ain’t broke, make it better.’ It’s important to investigate all potential opportunities to fail during the continuous improvement process. And sometimes that includes reinventing the wheel.”

For example, lab personnel learned the hard way when they engineered a device to capture debris from a routing table by attaching a vacuum. They wanted to create a solution to reduce airborne effluents. However, after debris failed to get sucked up into the vacuum, they realized there was a huge bottleneck near the attachment.

“The initial design contained an unforeseen choke

point, which failed to allow for effective dust extraction,” Belk said. “Through ‘eFAILution’ we prevailed and developed a better design.”

With the requirement to develop more high-power computing capabilities and technologies, the potential for this kind of innovation is a game-changer.

“Failure in the U.S. Air Force has historically been a word whispered behind closed doors and swept under the rug as much as possible,” said Capt Barron Stone, director of operations with the 709th Support Squadron and former officer-in-charge of the Innovation Lab. “It’s encouraging to be a part of the culture change that highlights failure as a means of getting to a better final product. Grass-roots innovation and engineering efforts often require assumptions to expedite progress or save money. With these assumptions, failure is inevitable, but it allows us to learn quickly and make adjustments to get a successful prototype. It’s been extremely refreshing and rewarding to be a part of this team.”

Today, Air Force leadership at the highest levels have challenged its officers and senior enlisted advisors to create a culture where Airmen can and should put innovation at the forefront of their daily actions and encourage them to step outside their comfort zone to kick-start innovation while trying out new ideas.

AFTAC has proven it’s capitalizing on that challenge.

“Our National Defense Strategy recognizes that we have to be agile enough to deliver performance at the speed of relevance because the complexity and pace of change we face in the world today is only increasing,” Hartman said. “AFTAC’s mindset of iterative learning from failure is key to enabling the organizational agility we require to be successful. I’m extremely proud of our men and women’s ingenuity.”

Belk and his team are encouraging their co-workers to come to the lab with project ideas.

“If the concept works, we’ll celebrate,” he said. If the concept doesn’t work, we’ll still celebrate and encourage them to go back to the drawing board to apply the lessons we’ve learned to make the next generation prototype a success.”

CMSAF Wright: The ‘Airmen We Need’ must be resilient

By Staff Sgt. Alyssa Gibson Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Rusty Frank

Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright gives his speech on resiliency during the Air Force Association Air, Space and Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, Sept. 19, 2018. During his remarks, Wright spoke about the importance of Airmen taking care of themselves and each other.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — In order to win tomorrow’s war, defend the homeland and remain a safe and secure nuclear deterrent, Airmen must be well trained, well led, agile and resilient, according to the Air Force’s most senior enlisted leader.

Building upon Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson’s discussion of the “Air Force We Need” and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein’s assessment of how to use the advantages of multi-domain operations, Wright said the “Airmen We Need” must be well trained, well led and agile in addition to resilient.

“If the foundation of readiness is training, then the core of what makes an Airman more lethal is resilience,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright during the Air Force Association’s Air, Space and Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, Sept. 19. “I used to think [resilience] was the ability to bounce back, but I now see it as the ability to move through the hardships, the pain, the fear and the suffering.”

The poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley has become a mantra of Wright’s, as it serves as a reminder that one controls their own fate.

Though Air Force leaders have the “tremendous responsibility” of ensuring the right resources, programs and leaders are in place to build and maintain resilient Airmen and families, the CMSAF charged each Airman with investing in their own destiny.

Over the past 18 months, Wright traveled across the globe and met real-world examples of this level of resilience… describing them as fascinating, humbling and inspiring.

“Our heroes, didn’t ask for cancer, didn’t ask to be blown up, didn’t ask to be born with debilitating diseases,” Wright said. “They weren’t responsible for their situations, but they were all responsible for how they dealt with it. Responsibility offers power; it allows you to become pioneers not victims. You get to forge your own path — that’s more challenging. It’s more difficult, but much more rewarding.”

Wright said Airmen must start with themselves if they want to become more resilient, stronger when facing adversity and unconquerable.

“No one escapes pain, escapes fear, escapes suffering,” he said. “Yet from pain can come wisdom, from fear can come courage and from suffering can come strength — if we have the virtue of resilience.”
