<strong>and</strong> Creech are the recipients of Air Combat<br />

Comm<strong>and</strong>’s Comm<strong>and</strong>er in Chief Installation<br />

Excellence Award <strong>and</strong> have earned $100,000<br />

for base quality of life improvements.<br />

“Our Airmen do an outst<strong>and</strong>ing job at<br />

two of the busiest bases in the U.S. <strong>and</strong> they<br />

deserve this recognition,” said Colonel David<br />

Belote, 99th Air Base Wing comm<strong>and</strong>er<br />

Nellis <strong>and</strong> Creech competed against every<br />

ACC base on seven criteria ranging from enhanced<br />

productivity of work force to energy<br />

conservation <strong>and</strong> encouragement of bottomto-top<br />

communication.<br />

The multitude of awards Nellis <strong>and</strong> Creech<br />

teams received during the past year seemed to<br />

help secure Nellis’ victory. On the final panel,<br />

in which four ACC semifinalists competed,<br />

all but one judge gave Nellis <strong>and</strong> Creech first<br />

place, reported an ACC representative.<br />

Ease stress of holiday travel with space-A<br />

By Airman 1st Class Jonathan Cantrell<br />

99th Logistics Readiness Squadron<br />

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev.<br />

— The underlying theme of this year has<br />

been the economy as rising <strong>and</strong> lowering<br />

of gas prices, food <strong>and</strong> the unpredictable<br />

stock markets have left many families<br />

struggling to break even. Unfortunately,<br />

are one Chief of Staff of the Air Force Award,<br />

12 Air Force <strong>and</strong> more than 57 ACC awards,<br />

to include ACC Lemay, Innkeeper, <strong>and</strong> Daedalian<br />

Awards. The package also highlighted<br />

such projects as a $5 million taxiway repair, $4<br />

million dorm renovations, <strong>and</strong> the base fitness<br />

center being rated a five-star facility.<br />

“The bases seem to have momentum for<br />

continuous improvement,” said Senior Master<br />

Sgt. Kelly Keebler, 99th Logistics Readiness<br />

Squadron vehicle management superintendant,<br />

who was in charge of putting the award<br />

package together. “It keeps getting better.<br />

Winning is definitely a great reflection on<br />

the efforts of everyone at Creech <strong>and</strong> Nellis.”<br />

The base will now compete for the title of<br />

Best In the Air Force. By Dec. 10, two semifinalists<br />

will be announced. Between Jan. 25<br />

<strong>and</strong> Feb. 7 base visits will be conducted, <strong>and</strong><br />

the award ceremony is slated to take place<br />

May 5. The winner <strong>and</strong> the runner-up will<br />

receive $1 million <strong>and</strong> $500,000 accordingly<br />

for quality of life improvements.<br />

the prices of airline tickets are on the rise<br />

as well. For a flight during thanksgiving<br />

week, the price of airline tickets through<br />

a commercial grade company from<br />

McCarran Intelligence to Baltimore,<br />

for a family with two children can cost<br />

anywhere from $900 on up. That doesn’t<br />

even include the $98 fee for long term<br />

parking of your vehicle. The cost can be<br />

overwhelming. Don’t worry, the Nellis<br />

Air Terminal can help.<br />

The U.S. military has combated this<br />

very issue with the Space Available Passenger<br />

Program. It allows eligible passengers<br />

to fly anywhere in the continental<br />

United States <strong>and</strong> overseas for little to no<br />

cost on a space available basis. Sign-up is<br />

as simple as an e-mail or just a walk-in<br />

benefit is available to eligible retirees,<br />

guard <strong>and</strong> reserve personnel, <strong>and</strong> active<br />

duty personnel <strong>and</strong> their dependents.<br />

The process of flying on a Space Available<br />

Flight or Space-A is very simple. You<br />

just need to plan your trip, be flexible,<br />

BULLSEYE<br />

A Wingman program:<br />

Families with special needs children<br />

A1C Joseph Dixon<br />

99th Medical Group<br />

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev.—As<br />

proud members of the United States Air<br />

Force, we are tasked with protecting our<br />

country, providing aid for nations around<br />

the world, <strong>and</strong> ridding the world of terrorism.<br />

We set aside the pressures of our own<br />

lives to do our duty as Airmen. But even<br />

the most dedicated need a helping h<strong>and</strong><br />

from time to time. This is why the Wingman<br />

concept was instituted: to assure us<br />

that our military family will be there when<br />

we need them the most.<br />

It’s this mentality that led Staff Sgt.<br />

Allison Jarrett <strong>and</strong> Tech. Sgt. Lisa Griffin<br />

to found the Families with Special Needs<br />

Children Support Group (FSNC) in mid<br />

July of this year. All Air Force families<br />

make sacrifices to ensure Airmen receive<br />

support, but families with special needs<br />

children face additional challenges. Staff<br />

Sgt. Jarrett remembers finding out that she<br />

was the parent of a special needs child <strong>and</strong><br />

the new dem<strong>and</strong>s this brought to her family.<br />

“Two years ago, when my oldest child<br />

was diagnosed with autism, I was left with<br />

a lot of questions, but very few answers.<br />

It was the help of those around me, going<br />

through similar situations that helped<br />

me cope with the struggles of having an<br />

autistic child,” Jarrett explained. “As the<br />

years passed, I realized how invaluable<br />

that support was for me, <strong>and</strong> I wanted to<br />

be able to pass on my experiences to others.<br />

Hoping to ease some of their fears <strong>and</strong><br />

help them to put the mission first.” This<br />

desire to help others led to the FSNC.<br />

The FSNC helps ease stress as much as<br />

possible by making support available from<br />

day one. Tech. Sgt Lisa Griffin explains,<br />

“We are currently in discussions with the<br />

facilitators of Right Start. We want those<br />

arriving at Nellis that might see the FSNC<br />

as a useful tool to start using it right away.<br />

We hope they can attend the meetings,<br />

meet some new friends <strong>and</strong> of course,<br />

find the help that might not have existed<br />

at their previous base.”<br />

The main goal of the FSNC is to<br />

provide a wealth of information at each<br />

meeting. Whether it’s online, through<br />

periodicals, books, or personal advice,<br />

families can find the information they<br />

need without doing all the leg work.<br />

The Bullseye is published by <strong>Aerotech</strong> <strong>News</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Review</strong>, a private<br />

firm in no way connected with the U.S. Air Force, under exclusive written<br />

contract with Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Contents of the Bullseye are not<br />

necessarily the official views of, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, the<br />

Department of Defense or the Department of the Air Force.<br />

national origin, age, marital status, physical h<strong>and</strong>icap, political affiliation<br />

or any other non-merit factor of the purchaser, user or patron.<br />

The deadline for submissions to the Bullseye is no later than<br />

Wednesday, 4:30 p.m., one week prior to desired publication date.<br />

Jarrett explained that with many new<br />

parents raising a disabled child have no<br />

idea where to look for information, <strong>and</strong><br />

that is where the FSNC comes in. “We<br />

try to cover a wide range of topics,” said<br />

Jarrett, “School, healthcare coverage, SSI<br />

benefits, <strong>and</strong> any other issue that comes<br />

up. Most importantly, we provide a place<br />

for parents to vent. We let them know<br />

that they don’t have to take on these<br />

challenges all by themselves.”<br />

One of the more important future goals<br />

of the FSNC is creating a better line of<br />

communication for parents dealing with<br />

the Clark County School District. “This<br />

seems to be one of the largest concerns for<br />

parents attending our meetings,” explains<br />

Griffin. “Whether it’s teachers not being<br />

properly trained to deal with their children<br />

or parents feeling ignored by school<br />

administrators, it’s easy to feel like you’re<br />

getting the run around.” To help with<br />

these issues, the FSNC has helped place a<br />

liaison for the CCSD at the Airmen <strong>and</strong><br />

Family Readiness Center. A trained individual<br />

is there to listen <strong>and</strong> help parents<br />

trying to find answers that might have<br />

been out of reach elsewhere.<br />

Briefs are due no later than Wednesday, 3 p.m. one week prior to<br />

desired publication date. Articles must also be submitted no later<br />

than Wednesday, 4:30 p.m., one week prior to desired publication<br />

date unless the editor provides an exception to a late-breaking<br />

story or article, <strong>and</strong> articles must include a byline (author of the<br />

story).<br />

For all submissions, a name <strong>and</strong> phone number of a person to<br />

The community of support built in the<br />

FSNC has caused it to grow since its inception<br />

to include not only the parents of<br />

Autistic children, but other special needs<br />

children as well.<br />

“Even though my experiences are<br />

mostly related to autism, I really wanted<br />

to open our meetings to help any family<br />

raising a disabled child, no matter the circumstances,”<br />

Staff Sgt. Jarrett said. In its<br />

first few months, the group’s regular attendance<br />

has seen a steady increase from just<br />

a few in July to more than 10 at the most<br />

recent meeting in October. “I am thrilled<br />

to see that people are taking advantage of<br />

this group, <strong>and</strong> as long as there are people<br />

out there looking for help. We’ll be here<br />

to give it,” said the sergeant.<br />

The Families with Special Needs<br />

Children Support Group meets the third<br />

Wednesday of each month from 1130-<br />

1230 at the Airmen <strong>and</strong> Family Readiness<br />

Center. Staff Sgt. Jarrett <strong>and</strong> Tech. Sgt.<br />

Griffith invite anyone interested to stop by<br />

for the meeting. For more information on<br />

the FSNC, please contact Staff Sgt. Allison<br />

The Great American Smokeout… did you participate?<br />

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AFNS) -- Officials<br />

in both the Department of Defense<br />

<strong>and</strong> Tricare encouraged military service<br />

members <strong>and</strong> their families to take part in<br />

the annual Great American Smokeout on<br />

Nov. 20. The Smokeout was established to<br />

use as a launching point to become tobacco<br />

free <strong>and</strong> begin a healthier lifestyle.<br />

Participation in the Smokeout is an<br />

important component of the DOD-sponsored<br />

educational campaign, Quit Tobacco—Make<br />

Everyone Proud. Its mission<br />

is to assist active-duty service members in<br />

their efforts to quit tobacco, for themselves<br />

<strong>and</strong> for the people who look up to them <strong>and</strong><br />

care about them.<br />

“The uniform is a symbol of strength <strong>and</strong><br />

pride, <strong>and</strong> that’s what it takes to give up tobacco,”<br />

said Capt. David Arday, MD, MPH,<br />

a U.S. Public Health Service officer, who is<br />

chairman of DOD’s Alcohol <strong>and</strong> Tobacco<br />

Advisory Committee. “We urge military<br />

men <strong>and</strong> women to take up the challenge of<br />

the Smokeout. There are resources available<br />

to help you.”<br />

Despite decades of work focused on<br />

reducing the use of tobacco by military<br />

populations, it remains firmly entrenched,<br />

especially in the youngest segment of the<br />

military population, with new smokers<br />

<strong>and</strong> smokeless tobacco users starting every<br />

day.<br />

In 2005, the prevalence of smoking<br />

among 18 to 25 year olds on active duty<br />

was significantly higher than among their<br />

civilian counterparts — 42.4 percent vs. 37.6<br />

percent of men, 29.2 percent vs. 25.8 percent<br />

of women. Nearly 23 percent of those men<br />

started smoking after joining the military.<br />

The use of smokeless or “spit tobacco” is also<br />

relatively high among military men in this<br />

age group, at roughly 25 percent.<br />

“Join millions of members of the uniformed<br />

services, their families <strong>and</strong> the<br />

American public who quit smoking for one<br />

day,” said Rear Admiral Steven Galson, MD,<br />

MPH, acting U.S. Surgeon General.<br />

During November, military personnel,<br />

their families <strong>and</strong> others who support them<br />

are invited to visit the campaign Web site.<br />

This interactive information <strong>and</strong> support<br />

tool is specifically aimed at enlisted active<br />

duty personnel who want to become tobacco<br />

free. Here they can access live instant-message<br />

help from a trained cessation coach,<br />

privately <strong>and</strong> anonymously.<br />

Users also can customize <strong>and</strong> download<br />

a quit plan; find research-based information;<br />

learn strategies for coping with triggers; play<br />

games with embedded tips <strong>and</strong> motivational<br />

messages; discuss issues on the message<br />

board; listen to podcasts; <strong>and</strong> locate local<br />

cessation programs.<br />

Those who want to help their military<br />

friends <strong>and</strong> colleagues give up tobacco can<br />

send an e-card, become more informed<br />

about the challenges tobacco users face as<br />

they try to stop smoking <strong>and</strong> chewing, <strong>and</strong><br />

download information to share.<br />

patient <strong>and</strong> have a little bit of money reserved for emergency<br />

situations. A key thing to remember about the program is in<br />

most cases, the military sponsor must accompany their dependents<br />

to utilize this program. One of the most important steps<br />

in this program is signing-up or registration. If signing up via<br />

e-mail request, please send to: SPACE-A.SIGNUP@NELLIS.<br />

AF.MIL with the sponsor’s name, social security number, branch<br />

of service, flight category, number of seats requested <strong>and</strong> social<br />

security numbers of any dependents flying with you. If signing<br />

up in person, any passenger can visit the Air Terminal located in<br />

Building 809 right next to Base Operations normal duty hours<br />

are from 7a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Customers can also utilize the<br />

passenger self service center to sign up <strong>and</strong> check available flights<br />

at any time throughout the day. When asked what he thought of<br />

the Space-A Passenger Program, Master Sgt Rodolfo Palacios of<br />

the 99th Aerospace Medicine Squadron said, “The experience<br />

was great. The process is very efficient <strong>and</strong> if the opportunity<br />

arises I would definitely fly with Space-A again!”<br />

All travelers who sign up for Space-A remain on the register<br />

60 days after registration, or for the duration of their travel<br />

orders authorization, leave duration or until they are selected<br />

for travel, whichever occurs first. Passengers may stay informed<br />

with outbound flights simply by calling the flight schedule recording<br />

at (702) 652-6099, or by stopping by the air terminal<br />

for an update. All military flights are subject to change without<br />

notice, so be sure to check the flight forecast periodically.<br />

John Qu<strong>and</strong>t, an Air Force Retired Lt. Col. said, “I check<br />

the Space-A outbound flight board often for flights to see<br />

family through the Midwest. When planning trips I always<br />

use the program as an inexpensive back-up plan to help plan<br />

my travel”.<br />

Were you aware that your family can fly in the Space-A program<br />

while you are deployed? Everyone knows that the Air Force<br />

mission must carry on throughout the year, but that doesn’t mean<br />

your family has to stay home in your absence. All that’s necessary<br />

is a letter from your Unit Comm<strong>and</strong>er listing your family<br />

members <strong>and</strong> their dependent identification card, <strong>and</strong> they can<br />

still benefit from the Space Available Program.<br />

George Schultz, an Air Force retiree had this to say, “I’ve<br />

been traveling on Space-A since the Vietnam Era, <strong>and</strong> I’ve<br />

always found the system very convenient. I sometimes travel<br />

using Space-A three or four times a year visiting family <strong>and</strong><br />

my favorite part of the program is the camaraderie between<br />

service members who are utilizing this program. You never<br />

know who you may meet <strong>and</strong> what experiences they’ve had”.<br />

The Space-A program is a quick <strong>and</strong> easy, no cost alternative<br />

to your normal travel woes. Passengers are h<strong>and</strong>led with the care<br />

<strong>and</strong> excellence they deserve without the hassle of lines <strong>and</strong> fees<br />

commonly found at your local airport. By reducing the amount<br />

of stress on holiday travel, the Space-A program is truly a great<br />

example of the U.S. military supporting our community. Any<br />

questions can be directed to the Nellis Air Terminal Building<br />

809, or call (702) 652-2562 for more information.<br />

MFLC Program now offered at Creech<br />

By Staff Sgt. Alice Moore<br />

432d Wing Public Affairs<br />

CREECH AFB, Nev. – The Military <strong>and</strong><br />

Family Life Consultant Program is now being<br />

offered at Creech AFB on Thursdays.<br />

The non-medical counseling program<br />

can help Airmen address a variety of issues<br />

that may be associated with the military life,<br />

said Susan Robinson, Nellis Airman <strong>and</strong><br />

Family Readiness Center director.<br />

“As human beings, we all need help<br />

sometimes, <strong>and</strong> we need the impartial view<br />

of someone who has no personal stake in our<br />

lives,” Ms. Robinson said. “Outsiders often<br />

have a perspective that we need to hear.”<br />

Services are free <strong>and</strong> confidential with<br />

the exception of “duty to warn” issues such<br />

as being a danger to oneself or others, domestic<br />

violence <strong>and</strong> sexual assault. Airmen,<br />

DoD civilians <strong>and</strong> contractors assigned to<br />

Creech can see a consultant on Thursdays<br />

here by calling to make an appointment. Clients<br />

leave the program with a specific action<br />

plan in relation to their problem <strong>and</strong> can be<br />

seen by a consultant one to six times.<br />

“Since they keep no records, people<br />

who might be hesitant about going to an<br />

agency might feel more comfortable seeing<br />

a Military <strong>and</strong> Family Life Consultant,” Ms.<br />

Robinson said.<br />

Bringing MFLC to Creech is just anoth-<br />

Nellis AFB Public Affairs<br />

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. – The<br />

Nellis food service team under the 99th Services<br />

Squadron won the Air Combat Comm<strong>and</strong><br />

Hennessy award Nov. 4, claiming the<br />

title of best food service in ACC. The team now<br />

takes part in the Air Force level competition,<br />

which will end early 2009.<br />

The John L. Hennessy trophy is an annual<br />

award that is presented to the best food service<br />

operation in the United States Air Force.<br />

The award is based on the entire scope of an<br />

installation’s food service program, exhibiting<br />

excellence in kitchen operations, serving <strong>and</strong><br />

dining operations, training, personnel <strong>and</strong><br />

readiness, sanitation, repair maintenance, <strong>and</strong><br />

management effectiveness.<br />

“It’s about the Airmen,” said 1st Lt. Michael<br />

Seebeck, 99th SVS food service officer. “They<br />

are the bread <strong>and</strong> butter behind this award. It<br />

can be a grind, as you work all hours <strong>and</strong> on<br />

holidays. It’s what they do in the dining facili-<br />

er example of how leadership is committed<br />

to helping individuals assigned here.<br />

“The services were brought up here to<br />

make things easier for Creech personnel<br />

to access it,” Ms. Robinson said. “Families<br />

would probably be more likely to meet<br />

with a consultant at Nellis or surrounding<br />

areas, but military members, contractors<br />

or DoD civilian employees who work at<br />

Creech will benefit by having the service<br />

right there.”<br />

Military Family Life Consultants must<br />

possess at least a master’s degree in a helping<br />

area <strong>and</strong> a professional license to practice<br />

in an area such as marriage <strong>and</strong> family<br />

therapist, licensed clinical social worker,<br />

or professional counselor. They must also<br />

have experience working in the counseling<br />

profession in the civilian community, Ms.<br />

Robinson said.<br />

Ms. Robinson said one thing to keep in<br />

mind is that although most consultants are<br />

qualified to provide therapy , the counselors<br />

E-9 board president emphasizes record verification<br />

By 2nd Lt. Gina Vaccaro<br />

Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs<br />

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas<br />

(AFNS)—The president of the 2008 chief<br />

master sergeant evaluation board convened<br />

Oct. 20 at the Air Force Personnel Center<br />

here emphasized the importance of record<br />

verification by each eligible individual prior<br />

to the evaluation board convening.<br />

Brig. Gen. Frederick H. “Rick” Martin,<br />

the U.S. Africa Comm<strong>and</strong> Directorate of<br />

Operations <strong>and</strong> Logistics deputy director,<br />

served as the evaluation board president<br />

<strong>and</strong> offered insight as to what it takes to<br />

make E-9.<br />

As board president, General Martin<br />

oversaw the 24-member board, which was<br />

made up of eight colonels <strong>and</strong> 16 chief mas-<br />

ties, the mindset of the people.”<br />

It is the first time since 1999 that Nellis food<br />

service team got this far in the competition.<br />

Lieutenant Seebeck said that avid support<br />

from the leadership manifested in purchases<br />

of new equipment, <strong>and</strong> a developed recognition<br />

system had a strong motivating effect on<br />

the Airmen.<br />

Getting the ACC award is a great morale<br />

booster as well, he said. “Airmen are motivated<br />

to do a great job for the Air Force evaluation<br />

– to be the best food service in the Air<br />

Force.”<br />

Counting the Mountain View dining facility,<br />

open for holiday meals <strong>and</strong> big training<br />

exercises on base, Nellis food services operate<br />

four facilities.<br />

Lieutenant Seebeck expressed gratitude<br />

towards the Airmen for taking leadership’s<br />

vision <strong>and</strong> working hard toward achieving<br />

that goal.<br />

“Now we have another step to work toward,<br />

another goal,” he said. “We’ll do the best we<br />

can to represent Nellis.”<br />

ter sergeants who evaluated the records of<br />

2,695 senior master sergeants.<br />

“The chief master sergeant promotion selection<br />

program has always been extremely<br />

competitive. This cycle was no exception,”<br />

General Martin said. “The E-9 end strength<br />

is limited to 1 percent of the total enlisted<br />

force. So, the competition for the limited<br />

quotas is tough. This is why it is vital that all<br />

members verify the accuracy of their records<br />

ahead of time.”<br />

Individual involvement from eligible<br />

senior NCOs is crucial to the promotion<br />

process. Senior NCOs should ensure their<br />

senior NCO selection folders, maintained<br />

at AFPC’s selection board secretariat, are<br />

accurate <strong>and</strong> complete. The secretariat staff<br />

recommends senior NCOs request copies<br />

of their selection record prior to their<br />

Air Force photo by Senior Airman Oleks<strong>and</strong>ra Manko<br />

Airman Tony Riddles, 99th Services Squadron food service specialist is delivering a<br />

freshly made s<strong>and</strong>wich during lunch rush at the Crosswinds Dining Facility here Nov. 18.<br />

The 99th SVS won the Air Combat Comm<strong>and</strong> Hennessy award <strong>and</strong> is now competing<br />

on the Air Force level.<br />

evaluation board to ensure all necessary<br />

documents are filed <strong>and</strong> all information is<br />

correct.<br />

Senior NCOs should also consistently<br />

review their data verification records for<br />

accuracy <strong>and</strong> make sure any necessary<br />

corrections are made prior to the evaluation<br />

board. The data verification records for all<br />

eligible individuals are located on the virtual<br />

Military Personnel Flight through the Air<br />

Force portal.<br />

Instructions for how to review <strong>and</strong> access<br />

records are posted on the enlisted promotions<br />

Web site, http://ask.afpc.r<strong>and</strong>olph.<br />

af.mil. This review is an important tool<br />

provided to senior NCOs to ensure the information<br />

in the selection folder is correct.<br />

With the E-9 board complete, the selection<br />

board secretariat is reminding Airmen<br />

to stay vigilant in maintaining their records.<br />

Often times a senior NCO’s personal involvement<br />

<strong>and</strong> due diligence are the key to<br />

getting corrections made to a record prior<br />

to an evaluation board.<br />

While the board secretariat will give your<br />

records a solid review; each eligible Airman<br />

is responsible for ensuring his or her record<br />

contains complete <strong>and</strong> accurate information.<br />

The next board, the senior master<br />

sergeant evaluation board, is scheduled to<br />

convene Feb. 2, 2009.<br />

senior NCO promotion selection process,<br />

Spouses of deployed Airmen<br />

receive a ‘baby shower’<br />

By Lila Edwards<br />

Editor<br />

NELLIS AIR FORCE<br />

BASE, Nev.—For 12 spouses<br />

of deployed Nellis Airmen,<br />

Nov. 15 was like Christmas in<br />

the Fall, as they were treated to<br />

the first-ever ‘baby shower’ hosted<br />

by the National Charity League<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Nevada Soldier’s Angels, on Nellis.<br />

Jody Shervanick, organizer for the event, <strong>and</strong> a<br />

member of the Soldier’s Angels, said the organizers<br />

had worked a long time gathering the 12 baskets<br />

overflowing with baby items.<br />

“We wanted to do something special this year for<br />

some of our military’s spouses, <strong>and</strong> helping those<br />

whose spouse is deployed seemed the best way to<br />

do it,” she said.<br />

Ms. Shervanick said the Soldier’s Angels are<br />

about 2,000-strong in Clark County, <strong>and</strong> they’ve<br />

been supporting the Nellis spouses for several years.<br />

There are about 70,000 Soldier’s Angels U.S.-wide<br />

who contribute donations to military families every<br />

year.<br />

The volunteers of the organization spent months<br />

on their “Operation TopKnot” knitting newborn<br />

items, gathering much-needed baby clothing <strong>and</strong><br />

other baby necessities in preparation for the event.<br />

The spouses were treated to a lunch, bouquets of<br />

flowers picked by their deployed husb<strong>and</strong> through emails<br />

<strong>and</strong> telephone calls, ensuring each spouse also<br />

had a special card <strong>and</strong> comments on the flowers.<br />

In attendance were two recently returning deployed<br />

Airmen who assisted their spouses during<br />

the course of the day, along with the Soldier’s Angels<br />

mentors who were each assigned to a spouse during<br />

the day. The mentors held newborns, assisted<br />

with lunch, <strong>and</strong> cheered the group on as they played<br />

games for special prizes <strong>and</strong> created memory-moments<br />

for everyone involved.<br />

For more information on the Nevada Soldier’s<br />

Angels <strong>and</strong> the Airman <strong>and</strong> Family Readiness Center,<br />

A Week Around Th<br />

Airmen respond to buried threat in Afghanis<br />

By Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse<br />

455th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs<br />

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan (AFNS)—When the Soviet<br />

Union pulled out of Afghanistan, they left thous<strong>and</strong>s of mines <strong>and</strong><br />

other explosive remnants of the war behind. At Bagram Airfield,<br />

with constant civil engineering projects to exp<strong>and</strong> the flightline<br />

<strong>and</strong> other facilities, it’s a daily occurrence to find small explosives<br />

in the soft s<strong>and</strong>.<br />

During a normal mine clearing mission recently, Airmen discovered<br />

an OFAB 100 Soviet bomb containing 92.5 pounds of high<br />

explosives.<br />

“It was kind of surprising there was that large of a bomb where it<br />

was located,” said Master Sgt. Cayle Harris, the 755th Air Expeditionary<br />

Group Explosive Ordnance Disposal team leader.<br />

“(The bomb) had probably been there 25 to 30 years doing just fine<br />

<strong>and</strong> there was a pretty good chance that it wasn’t going to explode just<br />

because we found it,” said Capt. Michael Mayo, a 455th Expeditionary<br />

Operations Support Squadron current operations officer.<br />

Located next to the main taxiway for passenger <strong>and</strong> cargo aircraft,<br />

the bomb posed a risk if left unchecked. Lt. Col. Kevin Virts <strong>and</strong><br />

Captain Mayo were brought in from the 455th EOSS to come up<br />

with a plan to either remove the bomb, or render it safe.<br />

“This is Afghanistan’s hub. Bagram is a very, very busy airfield.<br />

Any time you shut down operations here, there’s a ripple effect all<br />

around the country. You want to minimize the time we have to<br />

shut down the airfield,” said Captain Mayo, a native of Tallahassee,<br />

Fla.<br />

Fortunately for Colonel Virts <strong>and</strong> Captain Mayo, there was a<br />

scheduled runway closure.<br />

“We had about five days to think about it before that opportunity<br />

presented itself,” Captain Mayo said. “If we knew the airfield was<br />

going to be down anyway, you’d get this done, <strong>and</strong> there would be<br />

minimal effects to actual flying.”<br />

Next, logistics had to be sorted out. The area at risk of<br />

overpressure -- blast force strong enough to break glass<br />

not just parts of the flightline <strong>and</strong> runway, but several<br />

workplaces as well. Delicate weather sensors <strong>and</strong> radar s<br />

to be taken under consideration as well.<br />

“They actually had to move the (tactical air navigatio<br />

something you don’t do,” Captain Mayo said.<br />

The tactical air navigation is a system that tells a plan<br />

in relation to the runway, assisting aircraft to fly, l<strong>and</strong> a<br />

even under poor visibility.<br />

“A (tactical air navigation) gets (aircraft) close enoug<br />

their final approach to an airfield,” said Matthew Axber<br />

MetNav technician from Klamath Falls, Ore. “They ar<br />

not moved due to the fact that a small shift of the ante<br />

ground will create a much larger change the further yo<br />

the beacon. One degree doesn’t sound like much but 4<br />

it’s a large enough distance to potentially cause problem<br />

Once moved, the tactical air navigation would have t<br />

checked by a specialized aircraft to ensure proper place<br />

“It just so happens that the plane that does that cam<br />

day after), so they moved (the tactical air navigation) a<br />

it right back,” Captain Mayo said.<br />

After nearly a week of planning, the big day came.<br />

were evacuated <strong>and</strong> the flightline was closed down. The<br />

used a thermite grenade to destroy the bomb in place. In<br />

super-hot thermite would burn the bomb gradually, al<br />

gases to dissipate in a controlled manner rather than exp<br />

with a bomb that old, anything could have happened.<br />

In the end, everything went exactly as planned.<br />

“In our line of business, it seems like something a<br />

wrong,” Sergeant Harris said. “This is about as perfect a<br />

tion can possibly go.”<br />

Wounded Airman: ‘Absolute privilege to defend Amer<br />

By Sean Bowlin<br />

12th Flying Training Wing Public Affairs<br />

11/13/2008 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE<br />

BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- A wounded NCO spoke<br />

to 300 Airmen, retirees, Greater San Antonio<br />

Chamber of Commerce officials <strong>and</strong> members<br />

of the Alamo Chapter of the Air Force Association<br />

Nov. 3 at the R<strong>and</strong>olph Air Force Base<br />

Enlisted Club.<br />

The AFA-sponsored “Combat Breakfast”<br />

hosted Staff Sgt. Christopher Slaydon <strong>and</strong><br />

21 other wounded warriors recovering from<br />

injuries at the Brooke Army Medical Center’s<br />

Center for the Intrepid at Fort Sam Houston in<br />

San Antonio.<br />

The gathering was part of the national “Celebrate<br />

America’s Military Week’’ that led into<br />

Veterans Day.<br />

Sergeant Slaydon, an explosive ordnance<br />

disposal team member, lost his sight <strong>and</strong> his<br />

left arm when wounded in October 2007 while<br />

attempting to disarm an improvised explosive<br />

device on a joint mission with the Army’s 10th<br />

Mountain Division in Iraq.<br />

“I’m not unique among the war’s wounded,”<br />

Sergeant Slaydon said. “All the guys <strong>and</strong> gals<br />

wounded think it’s an absolute privilege to<br />

defend our country.”<br />

The sergeant, who moved with his wife,<br />

Annette, to temporary quarters at R<strong>and</strong>olph<br />

AFB while rehabilitating at BAMC, had been<br />

stationed with the 56th Civil Engineer Squadron<br />

at Luke AFB, Ariz. Mrs. Slaydon was working<br />

as a paralegal in nearby Phoenix at the time of<br />

her husb<strong>and</strong>’s injury.<br />

Sergeant Slaydon, told the audience he spends<br />

most of his time now helping other wounded<br />

<strong>and</strong> injured patients at BAMC, while undergoing<br />

his own therapy with his prosthetic arm.<br />

Therapy is almost complete <strong>and</strong> he’ll be medically<br />

retired soon at Luke AFB.<br />

His next step is to march toward his ultimate<br />

goal -- to attend college <strong>and</strong> earn a doctorate<br />

in psychology. He plans on putting that degree<br />

to use as a psychologist in the Department of<br />

Veterans Affairs while counseling veterans with<br />

post traumatic stress disorder.<br />

Mrs. Slaydon said from the time she was<br />

notified of her husb<strong>and</strong>’s injuries barely more<br />

than a year ago, the Air Force family has taken<br />

care of her needs -- putting her up in temporary<br />

housing in San Antonio <strong>and</strong> raising money to<br />

pay bills because she had to stop working her<br />

well-salaried job to aid her husb<strong>and</strong>’s recovery.<br />

Mrs. Slaydon also suggested some of the ways<br />

the private sector could really support wounded<br />

warriors rehabilitating in hospitals. They include<br />

lowering mortgage interest rates, forgiving<br />

some interest, tacking car payments due during<br />

rehabilitation onto the end of existing auto loan<br />

notes <strong>and</strong> thus deferring them, offering families<br />

of the wounded credit <strong>and</strong> financial counseling.<br />

She also suggested that the private sector could<br />

offer discounted or free rental cars, housing adaptation<br />

construction<br />

(for the disabled), maid,<br />

l<strong>and</strong>scaping <strong>and</strong> home<br />

repair services to the<br />

rehabilitating wounded<br />

<strong>and</strong> their families.<br />

Mrs. Slaydon praised<br />

local charitable organizations<br />

who lent support<br />

to her husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

other wounded warriors<br />

<strong>and</strong> their families<br />

as they recovered.<br />

“People should donate cash to th<br />

organizations,” Mrs. Slaydon said<br />

amazing things for people. I kno<br />

for us.”<br />

“It’s a way of showing our ap<br />

for what the contributions of ou<br />

are to our freedom,” said Gary<br />

former Air Force combat helicop<br />

pilot <strong>and</strong> president of the Alamo<br />

the AFA. “It also celebrates the co<br />

<strong>and</strong> willingness of Americans t<br />

for their nation. Having guys lik<br />

Slaydon speak is priceless.”<br />

The “Hog” drops in on history<br />

By Master Sgt. Joy Josephson<br />

46th Test Wing<br />

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.<br />

(AFNS)—The A-10 Thunderbolt II,<br />

nicknamed the Warthog <strong>and</strong> known<br />

for its close-air support superiority <strong>and</strong><br />

the ability to carry large <strong>and</strong> varied ordnance,<br />

is now on its way to delivering a<br />

new capability to the warfighter.<br />

A pilot from the 40th Flight Test<br />

Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.,<br />

with support from people with the 46th<br />

Test Wing, Boeing <strong>and</strong> a host of other<br />

units, flew a quick yet historic mission<br />

early in November. For the first time, a<br />

guided bomb unit-54, the Laser Joint<br />

Direct Attack Munition, or LJDAM,<br />

was dropped from an A-10C.<br />

“There is a strong need to destroy<br />

moving targets in the AOR,” said Capt.<br />

Kirt Cassell, the lead A-10C flight test<br />

engineer. “The Laser JDAM has shown<br />

to be very effective at destroying moving<br />

targets on other (aircraft) <strong>and</strong> Air<br />

Combat Comm<strong>and</strong> (officials) wanted<br />

to bring that capability to the A-10C for<br />

an upcoming deployment.”<br />

Captain Cassell <strong>and</strong> team members<br />

from the 40th FTS began planning this<br />

test mission in early October. That’s a<br />

short timeline for a test mission, according<br />

to Captain Cassell. Plus, the<br />

team was challenged with ensuring<br />

the LJDAM worked correctly. To do<br />

this, the plan was to drop the bomb on<br />

a GPS target <strong>and</strong> then lase the weapon<br />

to another target downrange.<br />

“The test was very successful!”<br />

Captain Cassell said. “The weapon<br />

functioned properly <strong>and</strong> released successfully,<br />

impacting the target almost<br />

exactly where the laser spot was located.<br />

We were able to demonstrate that the<br />

GBU-54 can successfully be integrated<br />

<strong>and</strong> dropped from the A-10C.”<br />

Maj. Matthew Domsalla piloted<br />

the historic mission. He’s been flying<br />

the A-10 for more than eight years <strong>and</strong><br />

knows that this added capability will<br />

make the A-10C even more lethal <strong>and</strong><br />

more valuable to warfighters needing<br />

some firepower assistance.<br />

“The LJDAM provides the pilot the<br />

ability to update the targeting if the<br />

target moves while the weapon is in<br />

flight,” he said.<br />

The A-10C has already demonstrated<br />

tremendous capability in supporting<br />

the war on terrorism. According to Lt.<br />

Col. Evan Dertien, the 40th Flight Test<br />

Squadron comm<strong>and</strong>er, putting this<br />

bomb on the aircraft “will give the A-<br />

10 an outst<strong>and</strong>ing precision targeting<br />

capability that will help the Air Force<br />

continue to provide precision engagement.”<br />

And while making Air Force history<br />

is a great feeling for the 40th team,<br />

Colonel Dertien says the rewards of a<br />

successful test are more far reaching.<br />

“When the weapons are proven in<br />

combat <strong>and</strong> you get feedback from the<br />

deployed flying units that a capability<br />

worked as expected <strong>and</strong> made a difference<br />

in the fight, that’s the big payoff,”<br />

he said.<br />

The next step for the A-10C <strong>and</strong><br />

LJDAM is to undergo operational tests<br />

to develop tactics <strong>and</strong> techniques for<br />

employing the weapon. If those tests<br />

prove to go as well as the first, Eglin’s test<br />

team may have their feedback as early<br />

as January. The goal is to have this new<br />

precision capability deployed to the area<br />

of operations by early 2009.<br />

Civilians graduate with<br />

lessons in military culture<br />

By Carl Bergquist<br />

Air University Public Affairs<br />

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE,<br />

Ala. (AFNS)—The first class of the<br />

Civilian Acculturation <strong>and</strong> Leadership<br />

Training program graduated recently<br />

here giving the 25 attendees a better<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing of what the active-duty<br />

Air Force does.<br />

The course, designed to acquaint<br />

civilian employees with military culture,<br />

included lessons on Air Force core<br />

values, communications, leadership,<br />

<strong>and</strong> team building.<br />

Exercises at the Project-X training<br />

facility, a war game <strong>and</strong> presentations<br />

by senior Air Force leadership rounded<br />

out the course curriculum.<br />

Air University was originally tasked<br />

to develop a civilian training program<br />

with an OTS-type curriculum, said Dr.<br />

Charles Nath, the Holm Center director<br />

of curriculum.<br />

“All indications are the training is<br />

going very well,” Dr. Nath said. “We<br />

started out with high expectations,<br />

<strong>and</strong> it appears it is going better than we<br />

expected. The students seem to recognize<br />

the importance of what they are<br />

learning at CALT <strong>and</strong> the importance<br />

of continuing civilian education for<br />

their careers.”<br />

During a presentation to CALT students,<br />

Lt. Gen. Allen G. Peck, the Air<br />

University comm<strong>and</strong>er, told students<br />

they were a “beta-test” for a program<br />

designed to educate them in a format<br />

other than on-the-job training.<br />

“You are part of about 40,000 resident<br />

students who come to Air University<br />

every year to learn to be better<br />

leaders,” he said. “Leadership requires<br />

balance, <strong>and</strong> to be a good leader you<br />

have to go where you are not comfortable.<br />

The point is, if you stay where you<br />

are comfortable, you are missing out.”<br />

He told attendees the Air Force is<br />

unique in that it grooms leaders to<br />

promote from within rather than hiring<br />

from the outside. The general also<br />

presented a list of ineffective leadership<br />

traits to include not adhering to Air<br />

Force core values, bad attitudes, failure<br />

to provide vision, <strong>and</strong> not accepting<br />

responsibility.<br />

Joseph M. McDade Jr., the director of<br />

Force Development for the deputy chief<br />

of staff for Manpower <strong>and</strong> Personnel at<br />

the Pentagon, visited the CALT course<br />

on its final day of class <strong>and</strong> observed the<br />

war game exercise.<br />

“Civilian force development is a<br />

top priority among senior leaders, <strong>and</strong><br />

CALT is an example of that,” he said.<br />

“The program ensures a balanced portfolio<br />

of leadership development for all<br />

Airmen. Here we have potential civilian<br />

leaders who are saying they want to be a<br />

part of the Air Force team, <strong>and</strong> the Air<br />

Force is at an historic crossro<strong>ads</strong> with<br />

regard to our civilians.”<br />

Jim Wiggins, the chief of Curriculum<br />

Development for the Reserve<br />

Officer Training Corps <strong>and</strong> OTS said<br />

the students have praised the program’s<br />

content, <strong>and</strong> all of the feedback he has<br />

received is positive.<br />

“Also, across the board, the amount<br />

of work that has gone into this training<br />

has been phenomenal. Staff members<br />

received the task as an additional<br />

duty but have treated it as if it were<br />

their primary jobs,” he said. “We have<br />

three more classes scheduled for the<br />

first parts of December, February <strong>and</strong><br />

March, <strong>and</strong> it is a developmental process.<br />

We will tweak the course as we go<br />

along <strong>and</strong> adapt as needed.”<br />

The program is great because it<br />

brings civilians into the military’s<br />

world, said Valeria Murray, a CALT student<br />

from the 754th Electronic Systems<br />

Group at Gunter Annex, Ala.<br />

“CALT is perfectly designed to make<br />

you a better leader, <strong>and</strong> that’s what the<br />

Air Force is all about,” she said. “I’ve<br />

enjoyed the instructors because they<br />

are very knowledgeable <strong>and</strong> bring a lot<br />

of experience to the table.”<br />

“We are all Air Force, but in reality,<br />

military members <strong>and</strong> the civilians<br />

don’t really know each other very well,”<br />

said Capt. Paul Yuzapavik, a senior<br />

instructor <strong>and</strong> chief of the war game.<br />

“Hopefully, CALT remedies that to a<br />

certain extent. I know for me this has<br />

been great because it gave me an opportunity<br />

to sit down <strong>and</strong> talk with these<br />

civilians <strong>and</strong> get their perspective.”<br />

The students came to CALT knowing<br />

it was an Air Force familiarization<br />

program, but Captain Yuzapavik said<br />

he doesn’t think they realized the leadership<br />

<strong>and</strong> managerial expectations<br />

of the curriculum. When they were<br />

confronted with the war game aspect of<br />

the course, it became a real eye-opener<br />

for many of the future leaders.<br />

The students completed the war<br />

game successfully, <strong>and</strong> received diplomas<br />

from Mr. McDade. He told the<br />

group he was honored <strong>and</strong> humbled to<br />

st<strong>and</strong> before the first graduating class<br />

of CALT.<br />

“Our enemies can steal our technology,<br />

but they can’t steal the experience<br />

<strong>and</strong> training these civilians are<br />

getting in this course,” Mr. McDade<br />

said. “I would like to see the students<br />

go through the course many times<br />

so when they come up against an adversary,<br />

they will be able to out-think<br />

them.”

Undefeated ‘Green Bats’ edge<br />

Viper 13-12, take gridiron title<br />

By Airman 1st Class Michael Charles<br />

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev.—A<br />

foiled extra point attempt in the last two<br />

minutes of play vaulted the 422nd Test<br />

<strong>and</strong> Evaluation Squadron to a 12-0 record<br />

<strong>and</strong> the 2008 Fitness <strong>and</strong> Sports Center<br />

Intramural Football Championship over<br />

the 57th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron<br />

Viper Aircraft Maintenance Unit Nov. 17.<br />

The National Football Conference division<br />

champion Green Bats defeated Viper<br />

13 -12 after stopping the Viper comeback<br />

with 2:14 left on the game clock when<br />

Quarterback Justin V<strong>and</strong>erv<strong>and</strong>er closed<br />

the score to within one point with a touchdown<br />

toss .<br />

The outcome of the championship was<br />

almost a mirror image of the game the two<br />

teams played earlier in the season when the<br />

422nd TES team beat Viper AMU team 7 -<br />

6. “They gave us our toughest challenge this<br />

season on two different occasions,” said 422<br />

TES Quarterback Harold Young.<br />

Young helped lead the 422nd TES team,<br />

which consists of members from the 98th<br />

Range Wing <strong>and</strong> the 59th TES, to its eventual<br />

win with two touchdown passes, the<br />

game winner of which came with four minutes<br />

left to play. “Teamwork is the reason we<br />

won. All season it has been what helped us<br />

win,” he said following the game.<br />

“I’m exceptionally proud of them,” Maj.<br />

William Tracy, 59th TES comm<strong>and</strong>er, said<br />

of the 422nd TES. “They played a great<br />

game against a great team.”<br />

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS)—<br />

The Tops In Blue, the Air Force’s premiere entertainment<br />

showcase, is accepting applications until Dec.<br />

2 for its 2009 talent search.<br />

The 2009 talent call encourages vocalists, instrumentalists,<br />

The 422nd Test <strong>and</strong> Evaluation Team hold their first place trophy after the Flag Football Championship finals at Freedom Park on Nellis<br />

Air Force Base, Nev., Nov. 17, 2008. A foiled extra point attempt in the last two minutes of play vaulted the 422nd Test <strong>and</strong> Evaluation<br />

Squadron to a 12-0 record <strong>and</strong> the 2008 Fitness <strong>and</strong> Sports Center Intramural Football Championship over the 57th Aircraft Maintenance<br />

Squadron Viper Aircraft Maintenance Unit Nov. 17.<br />

Fifty-five years ago, the Air Force Talent Program<br />

began with local auditions. Today, the process is<br />

streamlined to expedite <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong> auditioning<br />

opportunities.<br />

As part of this streamlining effort, Air Force<br />

Entertainment recently created a new Tops In Blue<br />

Web site that is designed to attract the Internetsavvy<br />

generation.<br />

“It’s all about keeping up with the times <strong>and</strong><br />

connecting with our audience <strong>and</strong> potential talent<br />

pool,” said Tom Edwards, chief of Air Force Entertainment<br />

at the Air Force Services Agency in San<br />

Antonio.<br />

The new site gives Airmen an easy way to submit<br />

their talent application, upload their audition video<br />

<strong>and</strong> receive confirmation that their application is<br />

in the system, Mr. Edwards said.<br />

“The new site is important to the successful<br />

infusion of new talent into our program,” he said.<br />

“Since launching it, there has been a huge increase<br />

in interest <strong>and</strong> applications.”<br />

Flash of Genius<br />

Greg Kinnear, Lauren Graham<br />

The Kearns were a typical 1960’s Detroit<br />

family, trying to live their version of the<br />

American Dream. Local university professor<br />

Bob married teacher Phyllis <strong>and</strong>, by their<br />

mid-thirties, had six kids who brought them<br />

a hectic but satisfying Midwestern existence.<br />

When Bob invents a device that would eventually<br />

be used by every car in the world, the<br />

Kearns think they have struck gold. But their<br />

aspirations are dashed after the auto giants<br />

who embraced Bob’s creation unceremoniously<br />

shunned the man who invented it.<br />

Saturday, (Nov. 22) 7 p.m. (R)<br />

Body of Lies<br />

Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe<br />

Roger Ferris is the best man US intelligence<br />

has on the ground. In operations that take<br />

him around the globe, Ferris’s next breath<br />

often depends on the voice at the other end<br />

of a secure phone line- CIA veteran Ed Hoffman.<br />

Hoffman is on the trail of an emerging<br />

terrorist leader who has orchestrated a campaign<br />

of bombings while eluding the most<br />

sophisticated intelligence network in the<br />

world. To lure the terrorist, Ferris will have to<br />

penetrate his murky world, but the closer he<br />

gets to the target, the more he discovers that<br />

trust is both a dangerous commodity <strong>and</strong> the<br />

only one that will get him out alive.<br />

VA Loans are by far the ABSOLUTE BEST<br />

purchase loans around!<br />

With over 24,000 homes on the market in the Las Vegas area<br />

NOW is the time to buy!<br />

VA Loans are available to veterans of military service <strong>and</strong> active<br />

duty <strong>and</strong> reservists. Your eligibility for a VA loan depends on<br />

your length of service <strong>and</strong> your discharge status. You can apply<br />

for a VA loan if you’re active duty, retired, or even a reservist.<br />

This loan allows for 100% financing of the purchase price of<br />

the home <strong>and</strong> does not require any monthly mortgage insurance,<br />

a common requirement of most loans. 100% financing simply<br />

means you do NOT HAVE TO PUT ANY MONEY DOWN.<br />

• Dept. of Veterans Affairs has NO CREDIT or FICO score<br />

requirements<br />
