“As members of the Air Force, we make every effort to do our jobs the
smart way. As the Air Force becomes a smaller force, we must all look at our
processes and determine what we can do to make them more efficient and
effective. The 48th Medical Group takes care of military and family members
stationed here at RAF Lakenheath and also at several geographically separated
units. As a customer care organization, it saw a way to ensure better
patient care and took steps to put the process into work. Air Force Smart
Operations 21 is not a program only geared toward flying and maintenance
operations. It is everyone’s job to find better ways to complete their part of
the mission.”

ACTION LINE
Brig. Gen. Robert P. Steel
48th Fighter Wing commander
AFSO21 initiatives are not just for operational matters. The RAF
Lakenheath hospital’s Referral Management Center is making a difference
in the care for all patients requiring the need of a specialist.
The hospital caters to more than 21 specialties in 12 separate clinics,
said Capt. Michael Hamilton, 48th Medical Group executive officer. For
many people, the time spent getting an appointment in one of those clinics
was very long.
Previously, primary care providers saw their patients and then sent
them to the specialty clinic to make follow-up appointments. Some times
the appointments could be made on the spot; other times, the patient
never received word back from the specialty clinic, requiring the patient
to call again and remind the clinic of the proposed appointment.
In November 2005, Captain Hamilton met with the hospital’s utilization
nurse and set up a tiger team to discuss how the hospital could
revamp the treatment of referral appointments. The tiger team consisted
of physicians, technicians and administrators - anyone who had a stake in
the process.
“At the time the hospital used 15 to 20 people throughout the facility
to manage referral appointments,” said Captain Hamilton. “Each clinic
had a medical administrator who dealt with the requests.”
This took time away from patient care.
The hospital now uses a system modeled after an Air Force initiative
already started in the states. The whole concept revolves around centralizing
the internal and external referral process, Captain Hamilton said.
And centralization is exactly what happened. The number of people
involved in the referral process went from 15 to 20 down to four people.
“We have effectively decreased clinical administration time and given
patient care time back to the clinics,” said Captain Hamilton.
Since the RAF Lakenheath hospital is the largest in U.S. Air Forces in
Europe, it serves as a testing base for the project and as a staging ground
for the rest of USAFE.
Former medical administration clerk Amanda Larsen has worked with
both the old and new referral systems. “This is truly one-stop-shopping,”
she said. “Patients no longer have to wander from one clinic to another in
the hospital to make an appointment with a specialist. We do that all for
them right here.”
But this is not solely an operation run without consulting the specialty
clinics themselves.
“The clinics continue to give us guidance and input on what type of
care they can provide,” said Karen Becker, who works in the RMC. “We
provide that link with the provider and the clinic and see that all information
flows in both directions so that follow-up care is provided.”
The RMC also provides service to the geographically separated units
in the United Kingdom and manages off-base referrals. It is their job to
ensure in-house providers receive results from off-base care so providers
can follow-up on care received from local physicians.
The new system shortens the steps for patients to receive care and
takes the guess work out of making an appointment at a specialty clinic.
“The previous system could be a little confusing for patients,” said
Staff Sgt. Heather Bowser, RMC NCO-in-charge. “This new process provides
services in one location for the patient. Once they get here, we can
book their appointment here or off base.”
The RMC office, part of the Tricare implementation flight, is located
in the hallway outside the family practice clinic in the main building of
the hospital. For more information on hospital referrals contact the RMC

Q:
experiences of going out for a night with friends in the states, a lot of
One thing I noticed recently made me wonder if something can be
done.
Right now, all over the Air Force, there is a huge emphasis on making
sure you have a plan (designated driver) when you’re going out to have a
good time at the club.
Some of my friends went out recently with a designated driver. From
places offer half price or even free sodas/water for designated drivers.
That sounds like a great plan to me. The designated driver this past weekend
spent just as much, if not more, on sodas because she was “the safety
plan.”
I just wonder why there isn’t any kind of DD discount here. I believe
if the DDs didn’t have to pay for “virgin” drinks, or even if they
were half price, it would give more incentive for them not to slip and
start drinking. It just doesn’t make sense why these people don’t get
rewarded for taking care of their wingmen.
Thank you for your interest in the designated driver program and in
our efforts to promote responsible drinking. I’m glad to hear people have
a plan when their evening involves alcohol consumption. All of the 48th
Services Squadron activities involving alcohol support the DD program.
DDs receive free soft drinks, juice or coffee throughout the evening at all
A:
Service facilities. In order to receive the free drinks, the DD must identify
himself/herself to the bartender. DD program signs are posted at all the
Services activities selling alcohol to promote program awareness.

It’s been my honor and privilege to serve as your 14th
Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force. As I culminate my
29-year career, I want to thank each of you for volunteering to
serve our nation, for fighting the Global War on Terror and for
continuing to keep our Air Force strong.
Early in my tenure I wrote a CMSAF Perspective entitled:
“To the members of the best enlisted force in the world.” I
whole-heartedly believed that then; now after four years traveling
around our Air Force, meeting with so many of you and
witnessing the tremendous feats you accomplish everyday, I’m
convinced even more.
Your pride and professionalism are awesome and
continue to make the difference in our ability to accomplish
our mission. We dominate in air,
space, and across the planet
because of you. You truly
are the nation’s
and our Air Force’s greatest asset.
As America’s Airmen we are asked to lead the way in the
fight for freedom. Together we transformed from Cold War
mentalities to a combat expeditionary Air Force....an incredibly
strong, agile, and lethal force. Our combat role began
more than 15 years ago with Desert Storm. You’ve since
honed your skills through Operations Northern and Southern
Watch, Allied Force, Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom, and
Iraqi Freedom, among many other challenges.
In the Global War on Terror you’ve taken the fight to the
enemy and defeated them everywhere you engaged. As the
war continues, you must remain resolute, strong, and prepared
to fight anytime and anywhere that our liberties, or those of
our allies, are threatened. I am confident that just as those
who came before us overcame challenges, you will continue to
soar to the challenges ahead with courage, commitment, and
conviction. I’m grateful to have served with such outstanding
men and women who exemplify these values.
Because of your service and sacrifice, the seeds of
Democracy are growing in Afghanistan, Iraq, and
other areas of the world. Take pride in your part in
building the future of these nations—nations that
simply want to enjoy the freedoms we often take for
granted. Most importantly, stand fast in preserving
our great democracy and way of life in the United
States of America. As Airmen, we can measure
our success not in dollars, rank or recognition, but
in the ability to make a difference in someone else’s
life, in our nation and in our world.
Our Chief of Staff, Gen Moseley, selected Chief
Rod McKinley to be the 15th Chief Master Sergeant
of the Air Force. He is a committed leader, with
tremendous experience, education, and compassion.
His strength and character make him the right person
at the right time to lead and represent our outstanding
enlisted force.
I leave you in good hands, and the Air Force in your
capable hands. Keep your focus on winning this war and
taking care of each other. Best wishes to each of you.
- Gerald R. Murray, former Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force

INDEPENDENCE DAY
RAF Feltwell gates open to British and American communities in celebration of U.S. holiday
By Verla D. Davis
48th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
The smell of funnel cakes and barbecue
filled the air with the sweet aroma of patriotism
as Americans and Britians enjoyed
Independance day festivities Monday at RAF
Feltwell, commemorating America’s 230th
birthday.
This annual event stirred the hearts of those
both near and far. A local merchant who has
attended the event for 12 years says she loves it.
“I have been coming since the events were
separate, there was one at RAF Mildenhall and
one here,” said Jane Hale, a carnival game
vender from a fish stall in Brandon. “We are
invited to come back every year and it is nice
to come back.”
There were 24 private organizations on
scene selling a variety of food items, delicacies
and authentic squadron items.
“All were reasonably priced,” said Steven
Atkins, 100th Services Squadron private
organization and food booth coordinator. “The
funds raised go to support squadron activity
committees and other private organizations
that provide support for a variety of base
events.”
The food and carnival games were just two
of many reasons why the community came out
to celebrate. The fireworks and carnival rides
were big hits with the young attendees.
An excited patron, 10-year-old Jerran
Thompson, son of Tech. Sgt. James
Thompson, 48th Munitions Squadron said, “I
really like the rides.”
Although Jerran won’t admit to being anxious,
his mom Felicia said “He wouldn’t let us
rest until we brought him out here today.”
As the days events came to a close, the big
moment arrived…the fireworks show. For
about 20 minutes, the crowd was dazzled with
sky rockets, sparklers and other fireworks that
lit up the sky.
Master Sgt. David Pace, 422nd Air Base
Group, RAF Croughton, and his family who
were on a four-day vacation in the East Anglia
area said the fireworks show was one of the
reasons they came out. His wife Valerie said,
“We really love the fireworks, they are always
very good.”
This is the Pace’s second year in coming
and when it was all over, Mrs. Pace said with
huge smile on her face, “I loved it.”
From start to finish, everyone appeared to
enjoy the celebration. “Things went great.
There were more than 18,000 in attendance”
said Wayne Crockett, event coordinator. “All
the feedback I received said folks had a great
time.”

Airman 1st Class Mark Sturtevant, 48th Munitions squadron conventional maintenance crew member, trains on the new munitions release unit
here June 27. This is the first time the Airmen conducted operational training on the munition for their scheduled deployment in September.
Instructors teach Liberty Warriors new procedures
Story and photo by Airman 1st Class
Michael Hess
48th Fighter Wing Public Affairs office
Instructors from Ramstein Air Base,
Germany, taught a dozen Liberty Wing
Airmen handling procedures on the first
small diameter munition to enter the Air
Force inventory June 26 through 30 at the
conventional maintenance building. The
instructors trained the 48th Munitions
Squadron maintenance crew members to
familiarize them with the new weapon they
will handle in their upcoming deployment.
Liberty warriors huddled around the
munition releasing unit were the first to handle
the weapon in an operational environment.
“This is the first time an Air Force fighter
has carried the small diameter munition,
and it’s an honor to be on the first team to
take it downrange,” said Master Sgt. Perron,
48th MUNS conventional maintenance
supervisor.
The instructors taught two groups of
Liberty Warriors, including instructors from
the 372nd Training Squadron Det. 2., who
will teach 48th MUNS Airmen as the munitions
become common place in the RAF
Lakenheath inventory.
“The instructors will teach the Airmen
who deploy. I will teach the Airmen after
they leave,” said Staff Sgt. Jeremy Levitt,
372nd TRS Det. 2 instructor.
The instruction will become common
place in the weapon familiarization training
that 48th MUNS Airmen attend annually.
The introduction of a new weapon isn’t a
small feat according to Sergeant Perron.
“This is the first time I have been part of
a weapon introduction, and I’ve been in for
25 years,” said Sergeant Perron, who has
deployed six times since Operation Desert
Storm.
“We are going down in history right now.
These new guys hardly even realize it. No
one will care that we were the first crew, but
we will know what we did when we see the
footage on CNN,” said Sergeant Perron.
The instructors are part of the initial validation-verification
process, which ensures
the plans on paper match properly with the
materials and tools.
“I am here to ensure the unit gets the
training, tools and equipment to deploy,”
said Senior Master Sgt. Brian Peters, U.S.
Air Forces in Europe Headquarters superintendent
of conventional munitions.
Based on their training, munitions
Airmen said it seems to be better than the
previous weapon systems.
“This is a great weapon for us on the
ground. It’s the ease of it. It requires less
manpower. It requires less maintenance.
When you are on the fighting front that’s
important. You don’t have as many people as
your home station,” said Tech. Sgt. Corey
Hammond, 48th MUNS production supervisor
whose deployment in September is his
fourth.
Though the weapon gets rave reviews
from training Airmen, the deployment will
be the true test for these Airmen and their
new equipment.
“I am looking forward to taking this to the
desert,” said Airman 1st Class Richard
Capuano, 48th MUNS conventional maintenance
crew member.
“I feel fortunate for this opportunity. I feel
like a true pioneer,” said Sergeant Hammond.

UK THEME PARKS
As British schools begin the summer break, I thought you may need
some ideas to keep the children entertained over the next few weeks. In
Britain we don’t have massive theme parks, but I’m sure all the following
will provide you with a full day of fun.
Alton Towers
This theme park is tucked away in the north of the country and above
the Midlands region, but once there most visitors are not disappointed.
One of its most famous rides is Nemesis which whisks you around at
breakneck speeds and at a greater G-force than that faced by astronauts
during a space shuttle launch.
The opening of Splash
Landings Europe’s first waterpark
hotel was in 2003. Cariba
Creek has the largest water
rollercoaster in the UK, has
numerous interactive water
attractions, such as water cannons
along with volcanic
springs, and Lagoona Bay.
In addition to the rides, there
is plenty to keep the whole family
happy - from walking around
the gardens and visiting Ugland,
the Stone Age theme park or
eating in one of the many
restaurants. Children can see the
shows at the 3-D Merrie
England cinema. Upcoming
events include the daily carnival,
Scooby-Doo’s Spooky Mystery
Tour until August 31 and the
End of Season Spectacular Oct.
15 through 30, which is shrouded
in secrecy at the moment, but keep an eye on the Web site for details.
The park is open every day until Oct. 30. The grounds open at 9:30
a.m. and the rides close at 5 p.m. depending on the season. For more
information, call (08704) 444 455 or visit www.alton-towers.co.uk.
Legoland
Legoland is located two miles south west of Windsor town centre
on the B-3022. Windsor Castle is in the local area. This is one of the
most popular attractions of its type in England and has developed
since its opening 10 years ago. There were five new attractions in
2005, adding to more than 50 activities. The attractions include the
new Fire Academy, where the family can enroll for a workout to test
fitness, speed and teamwork. Active families then compete on this
ride by jumping into the Lego fire engine, powering them by pumping
levers and pushing buttons across a runway to put out a burning
building.
The Dino Safari is also new, which takes you on a ride through a
prehistoric jungle full of giant animated Lego Brick dinosaurs. The
park is divided into several themed areas, such as the wild woods
and the rat trap. There are several snack bars, restaurants, shops and
a picnic area. There is plenty to keep the whole family occupied for
the whole day.
Legoland is open daily until Oct. 31. For more information, call
(08705) 040 404 or visit www.legoland.co.uk.
Thorpe Park
Another popular family leisure attraction, Thorpe Park sits in 500
acres, much of which is water. Major rides include the Colossus,
Nemisis Inferno and new for 2005 the Slammer; an impressive looking
ride, giving both a positive and negative G-force experience, with
two giant paddles rotating 360
degrees backwards and forwards
around a centre axis. Exit 11 or 13
off the M25. For more information,
call (08704) 444 466 or visit
www.thorpe-park.co.uk.
Chessington World of
Adventures
The park started out as a zoo and
grew into a theme park. There are
activities for young children in
Toytown and for the teenagers;
Rameses Revenge spins you round
360 degrees at speeds of up to 60
miles per hour while plummeting
towards a rock-lined pit and water
fountains. If that is not enough
adventure, then try the hanging
roller-coaster, the Vampire, which
Courtesy photo
flies above rooftops before diving
underground. A monorail gives an overview of some of the animals.
This park is geared more towards families with younger children as 90
percent of the parks attractions are suitable for children under 12 years
old. Exit 10 off M-25.
For more information, call (08709) 990 045 or visit www.chessington.co.uk.
Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park
A little closer to RAF Lakenheath, this theme park is on the east
coast of England and offers a log flume, chairlift, horror dome, two railways,
rollercoaster and waveswinger. For more information, call (01502)
586 000 or visit www.pleasurewoodhills.com.
Wicksteed Park
This is one of the oldest established amusement parks in England,
dating back to 1921. It’s smaller than some of the other theme parks
and has retained many of the attractions of a by-gone age, which is its
appeal for many people. For more information, call (08700) 621 193 or
