Kevin CoffmanOSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -The 51st Fighter Wing and the Republic ofKorea Air Force have completed an exhaustiveand Air Force wide investigation of aninadvertent release of a small non-explosivepractice munition on Nov. 29, 2006 by anaircraft stationed at Osan Air Base.An A/OA-10 aircraft assigned to the 25thFighter Squadron was returning to Osanfrom a routine training mission at approximately12:30 p.m. when an apparent systemsproblem caused the inadvertent releaseof a 25 pounds practice munition--a BDU-33. The small, non-explosive training munitionthen struck a civilian factory in northernChoong-chung province damaging thebuilding but causing no injuries.The 51st Fighter Wing commanderdirected a wing-wide stand down of flyingto provide for a thorough review of procedures.A full investigation by the 51st WingSafety office revealed that for an undeterminedreason, the triple ejector rack on theA/OA-10 malfunctioned and did not releaseone BDU-33 over the range as commandedby the pilot. This left the BDU hung "unsecure."During the aircraft's return to base,the BDU-33 fell from the plane.The 51st Wing commander, Brig. GenJoe Reynes, approved the investigationreport and ordered the implementation ofseveral recommendations to mitigate anyfuture inadvertent release.The most significant recommendationsinclude a request for clarification of aircraftmaintenance technical data to quantify theMarch 31. As of Dec. 28, the service had approved morethan 1,800 applicants for the program. Officers seekingmore information about VSP can call the Air ForcePersonnel Center contact center at 800-616-3775, or visitits web site.General Brady said the RIF board would consider AirForce officers with six to 12 years of active commissionedservice in overage career fields from six yeargroups: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001. The RIFboard process is expected to achieve approximately 1,000officer reductions. Officers not selected for retention willbe separated by Jan. 29, 2008.Force shaping is not simply about reducing numbershowever. The Air Force will also ensure that it has theright number of officers and enlisted, in the right rank,and career fields."The Air Force is in transition and we must focus ontorque required on sway braces during theBDU-33 loading procedure.Next, hung BDU-33 routing and procedureswere reviewed and modified. The51st Operations Group is making everyeffort to avoid populated areas when returningto base.The recommendation requests futureflight test data for SUU-20 to be used on A-10s. The SUU-20 is the ejector rack usedon the F-16 and on other aircraft whichrelease BDU munitions."We will continue to focus on the successfuland professional accomplishment ofour mission to provide for the defense of theRepublic of Korea," said Brig. Gen. Reynes."We learned a great deal from conductingthis investigation and we're putting what welearned into practice."Starting this week, the 25th FighterSquadron will resume use of the BDU-33for training purposes.U.S. Air Force pilots fly only afterextensive preparation of both the pilots andtheir aircraft. All missions are professionallyplanned and executed.optimizing our force structure," General Brady said."Through voluntary separations, attrition, adjustments toaccessions, retraining and a RIF board, we can ensure wehave the number of officers we need, in the right careerfields and with the right level of expertise. I encourage allcommanders to conduct frank discussions with their officersconcerning their vulnerability for the RIF board."In 2004, the Air Force had 372,000 active-dutyAirmen. Today, the service has about 347,300. Throughforce shaping, the goal is to reduce that number by another31,000 to about 316,000 by fiscal year 2009. In fiscalyear 2007 alone, the Air Force has more than 5,500 projectedofficer losses (about 70 percent of the goal) and16,500 projected enlisted losses (almost 50 percent of thegoal). These losses reflect a combination of targeted forceshaping and normal attrition, which total over 30,000each year.

NEWSMaking a differenceBy Tech. Sgt. Michael O'Connor51st Fighter Wing Public AffairsWhen I arrived to my second duty assignment in May1993 as an Airman 1st Class, I didn't make the trip alone.Sitting in the trunk of my newly purchased 1986 PontiacGrand Am were several boxes of finished and unfinishedartwork - or more precisely, ceramics. As a 22-year-oldAirman with a basic pay of $845 I opted to pick-up a cheap$10-a-project hobby to make the cold Michigan winters atmy first duty location pass by quicker. Before I knew it, theyfilled my dormitory room which became a conversationstarter anytime someone stopped by my room at WurtsmithAir Force Base in Oscoda, Mich.Shortly after arriving at Griffiss AFB in Rome, N.Y., Idecided to go for a drive outside the Mohawk Gate to familiarizemyself with the local area. Totally without provocation,I found myself pulling into the local nursing homelocated a mile outside the base. Upon entering the home andtalking with one of the directors, I immediately became avolunteer spending 10 to 20 hours a week socializing,singing, feeding and playing games with more than 30 residents,one of which was one of 337 survivors from theU.S.S. Arizona when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor onDec. 7, 1941.Soon after my first visit, I decided to donate a dozen orso pieces of my ceramic artwork to the home to decorate thecommon areas. In the ensuing months of visiting the residents,ranging in age from mid-50s to the early 100s, myface was common to the residents as those who workedthere. I quickly became somewhat of a surrogate familymember and companion to each of them.Ten months later, I was called away for a four-monthtemporary duty assignment to Saudi Arabia. Not wanting toupset the residents, I only told the staff at the home I wasleaving and asked them to tell the residents that I’m busyworking and will be back soon.When I departed for the desert, more commonly knownas the 'sand box', I wondered if I was making a difference tothese people or not, especially as many of them could notBy Tech. Sgt. Bryan GatewoodPacific Air Forces Public AffairsHICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii(AFPN) -- Pacific Air Forces officials haveseen a 17 percent reduction in energy use fromfiscal 2003, well on its way to exceeding theEnergy Policy Act of 2005's goal of reducingenergy consumption by 2 percent each yearfrom 2006 through 2015 for a total of 20 percent.Osan has played a large role in this accordingto the base’s energy conservation programmanager.“Throughout PACAF, Osan AB was one ofonly two bases that was in compliance with theenergy reduction goals of both ExecutiveOrder 13123 ‘Greening the GovernmentThrough Efficient Energy Management’ andthe 2005 Energy Policy Act,” said Mr. JonMuckeyHe went on to say that Osan AB reducedoverall energy consumption by 6.5 percent,which is nearly two years ahead of scheduleand places Osan as the number three base inPACAF with the most energy reduction,behind Elmendorf AFB, Alaska and YokotaAB, Japan.PACAF had the largest energy use reductionof any major command during 2006."PACAF funds projects to make our basefacilities more energy efficient -- we run theseprograms because they save us money in themid to long term. In the short term, we need toconserve and cut waste now, to controlPACAF's energy bills, this fiscal year," saidDean Nakasone, command facility energy conservationprogram manager.Some of the factors that helped contributeto the reduction were implementing a command-widestrategic energy conservation planwhich includes awareness, training, energyexpress their feelings and emotions very well.Upon my return to the home following my TDY, I gotmy answer.I was making my rounds to say hello to everyone and tomy surprise, I found myself being verbally scolded by a 70-something-year-old woman shortly after I entered her room.She said, "Where have you been?! I haven't seen you in along time. I missed hearing your stories." I didn't know whatto thinkI was completely shocked by what had happened. Not somuch that I was scolded for not visiting her, but because thewoman had never acknowledged my presence with any verbalor non-verbal gestures in the 10 months I had previouslyspent with her.What happened next brought a swell of tears to my eyesand made all the hair on my body stand on-end.The woman proceeded to recite back to me everything Ihad ever told her about myself and my family and asked allsorts of follow-up questions. Never in my wildest dreamsdid I think I was making a difference to this woman, or forthat matter, to most of the residents I visited. But, nevertheless,I never gave up on them, and apparently, they nevergave up on me.While her outburst stunned me, she made me realize thatjust because you don't see immediate results it doesn't meanyou're not making a difference. Sometimes, it takes a lotlonger than you would like to cultivate something meaningfuland tangible.Being a good citizen in the community in which you liveand work doesn't just apply when you're living in the U.S.For the military and civilian ambassadors overseas representingall Americans, being a good neighbor can make aworld of difference.

"Conservationgoals are achievable without impacting ourquality of life."Below are some common tips Airmen canuse to help with energy and water conservationno matter where they are stationed.At work: Turn off lights at the end of the day, duringlunch, and when out for meetings. Breakrooms, storage rooms, and conference roomsshould be dark when not in use. Turn off computer monitors when not inuse. Turn off outside lights during the day.Report faulty sensors and controls that fail toturn off exterior lights, street lighting, andsecurity lighting during the day. Keep window shades closed on the sunnyside of the building to limit heat from the sunwhen building is being cooled by air conditioners. De-lamp over-lit spaces. If occupants feeloffices are too bright, tubes may be removed.Supplemental task lighting can then be used toprovide light at places more appropriate for theoccupant. Know and set thermostats in accordancewith installation thermostat policy. Set back temperatures of heating andcooling systems during unoccupied hours. Report leaky piping, hose bibs, faucets,and toilets to building managers for repairs. Inaddition to saving water, this could lessenwater or moisture damage to the facility.At home: Turn off lighting, air conditioning, fans,televisions, computers, appliances, and otherelectronics when not in use. Replace incandescent light bulbs withcompact fluorescent lights, which use 70 percentless energy and last about 10 times longer. Use fans instead of air conditioners. Twofans in place of 8,000 BTU room air conditionerrunning four hours a day will save morethan 1,150 kilowatt hours and $161 per year.MiG Alley FlyerJan. 12, 2007Bringing Christmas joyMembers from OSI Det. 611 and the 51stSecurity Forces Squadron spent a fewhours eating, giving Christmas gifts andplaying with children at The HeavenlyGrace orphanage in Pyongtaek Dec. 23.The orphanage is home to about 90 children,ranging in age from 5 to 20 years old.The gifts children were given came from alist the orphanage had sent. After the childrenfinished eating and opening gifts,several of the younger children performeddances for the visiting Airmen. Photo bySenior Airman Brok McCarthyPACAF leads MAJCOMS in energy conservation5 Set thermostats in accordance with installationpolicy. Plan cooking and laundry chores whenelectricity is cheapest. Some electric companieshave drastically different electrical ratesduring peak demand hours. Peak demand ratescan be significantly more costly. Ask the baseenergy manager for information about thebase's peak demand schedule. Wash or replace air conditioning filtersaccording to manufacturer's recommendation.This enables the air conditioner's fan or blowerto work efficiently while improving indoor airquality. Use Energy Star appliances and electronicequipment. Product listings and energy savingscalculators are available online atwww.energystar.gov. Seal doorways and windows against infiltrationof outside air. Wash and rinse clothes in cold water.This saves energy and water. Use water-conserving showerheads (nomore than 2.5 gallons per minute) and faucetaerators (no more than two gallons perminute). Take showers instead of baths. Turn off the water while brushing teeth orshaving. An open faucet wastes two gallons ofwater every minute. Water lawns in the early morning orevening to minimize evaporation loss. Don't use the toilet as a wastebasket orashtray. The toilet is the biggest water user inthe house, taking up to five gallons of waterwith every flush."The cost saved by saving energy, especiallyending waste, frees up funds to pay for missionand quality-of-life requirements," Mr.Nakasone said. "Energy conservation is a greatway to increase what we are able to providefor our Airmen and mission."

6MiGAlley FlyerJan. 12, 2007NEWS2006Year in reviewBy Senior Airman Brok McCarthy51st Fighter Wing Public AffairsTeam Mustang’s crucial role in the stability ofthe Korean peninsula and East Asia was demonstratedrepeatedly during 2006, and its readiness to fightat the drop of a recall was tested again and again.“We did a tremendous job in a number of areaslast year,” said Brig. Gen. Joe Reynes, 51st FighterWing commander. “But most importantly, we maintainedreadiness at all times. We repeatedly demonstratedour ability to fully engage the enemy at amoment’s notice. We made a vital contribution to thepeace and security of the Republic of Korea, and thestability in this area of the world.”This was tested almost as soon as the New Yearstarted when the base held its first PENCERE of theyear.As the year marched on, and the base got busierpreparing for the April Unit Compliance Inspection,the base received a visit in March from the 5th ChiefMaster Sergeant of the Air Force, retired ChiefMaster Sgt. Robert D. Gaylor, who was here tospeak at the 7th Air Force Annual Awards ceremonyas the guest speaker.Soon after, the base received another importantvisitor, Though this time, it was the highest rankingcivilian in the Air Force -- the Honorable MichaelW. Wynne, the Secretary of the Air Force. While hewas here, he visited Airmen, and answered any questionsthey had about what was going on in the AirForce.A little later that month, the base received a tasteof home when Chili’s opened its doors to the base.Quality of life continued to improve in Aprilwhen a new family housing tower opened. The ninestorymilitary family housing tower has 112 totalhousing units, including 48 two-bedroom units, 48three-bedroom units and 16 four-bedroom units. Thetower also contains office areas for facility managementand a recreation room.May was quite possibly one of the busiestmonths the base had, but it paid off in a big waywhen Osan received an Excellent on its UCI inspectionand became the first PACAF unit to get anOutstanding for the Full Spectrum Threat ResponseExercise. "That was one of only three Excellent ratingsthe wing has received in a UCI, and it was dueto the professionalism and dedication of every memberof the Mustang Stampede," said Brig. Gen.Reynes. "It is very rare for there to be absolutely noMarginal ratings in a wing and this was the case forthe entire base."A few weeks after the inspection ended, the baseupgraded the way people could exercise and playyear around when it opened its new indoor pool nearMustang Valley Village.June marked the beginning of an era for the 5thRS as they received cockpit upgrades for their U-2s;something that was compared to “upgrading from atypewriter to a shiny, new, cutting-edge computer.”September saw the first of two high ranking individualsleave Osan. 7th Air Force command chief,Chief Master Sgt. Vance Clark left his position tobecome the command chief at Spangdahlem AirBase in Germany. The position was filled by ChiefMaster Sgt. Ray Allen.October marked the 41st year anniversary of the554th RED HORSE Squadron. But it was a bittersweet anniversary for the unit because it was the lastone they would be celebrating on Osan. And becauseof the move, one of the base’s land marks, the giantred horse riding a bulldozer, was packed up andshipped to Guam about a month after the anniversary.In November, Lt. Gen. Garry R. Trexler, the 7thAir Force commander, handed the reigns over to Lt.Gen. Stephen G. Wood. After three years as the 7thAir Force commander, and 36 years in the Air Force,the general elected to retire.The year finished with a spectacular performanceby the Air Force’s Tops in Blue a week beforeChristmas.General Reynes said that Team Osan will drawupon the very successful year when meeting challengesin 2007.“After what we accomplished in 2006, I am convincedwe can handle whatever comes our way thisyear,” he said. “Our confidence should be high, likeour commitment to readiness. Our most importantchallenge will be to be ready at all times to take thefight to the enemy. We will have several opportunitiesto sharpen our sword in the coming months aswe prepare for the upcoming Operational ReadinessInspection. Here’s to another year of excellence,Mustangs!”

If waiting for the "next evolution"with your unit, please wait/stand off to the side ofthe track.Fitness center upgrades equipmentBy Senior Airman Brok McCarthy51st Fighter Wing Public AffairsAnyone using the fitness center may notice a lot of newequipment. In fact, there is $216,500 worth of new equipment.According to Master Sgt. Nyron Alexander, fitness centeroperations superintendent, one of the biggest changesis in the weight room."We have totally replaced everything in the weightroom to meet the ever increasing needs of our customers,"he said. "Anyone walking back there will notice there ismore equipment and more room to walk around in. Mostof what we have in there are the latest models of what ismade by Hammer Strength and Lifefitness."The room now has at least two pieces of every type ofmachine in order to reduce the time patrons must wait tolift.Three new types of machines have been added as well.There are two pectoral fly/rear deltoid machines, two seatedrow machines and two shoulder press machines. A fewof the machines in the gym, like the pectoral fly/rear deltoidmachines, are capable of working multiple musclegroups."Along with being newer, these machines are all alsomore ergonomically correct," Master Sgt. Alexander said."This means they will be easier to use and will have lesschance of causeing injuries."The center is also due to receive a new set of dumbbellsand weight benches sometime in February. Overall,the weight room has 12 more machines than it did beforethe replacement.The cardio room will also receive a makeover. Themost noticeable change will likely be the addition of 10,32-inch LCD, flat screen televisions replacing the 25-inchtelevisions currently in use.There will be a total of 24 new bike machines put in,14 recumbent and 10 upright. Five steppers and severalnew elliptical trainers are due to be replaced, as well.Master Sgt. Alexander said no new treadmills wereordered because the current ones are only about a year old.A New Year, a new youBy Capt. Jennifer BradleyOsan Health and Wellness Center2006 has faded into the past and2007 has finally come. With the newyear, people have dreams and visionsof new careers, new places to visit or anew image. Millions of people acrossthe world rang in the new year withNew Year's resolutions. Undoubtedly,a great number of these peopleresolved to get into better shape andimprove their health. How do you dothis safely? What 's the best way tokeep from becoming disinterested ordiscouraged?Set it in stone. Brainstorm all yourNew Year's resolutions and write themdown. Make a contract with yourselfand put it on the fridge or anywhereelse you will find it.Set a date. If you just say you aregoing to meet a goal sometime thisyear, that's probably too broad a timeframe.Mark your calendar for a certaindate for each goal that you want tomeet. For example, you would like tobe walking three miles a day by April.From now until April you need to takesteps to be able to walk three miles aSenior Airman Kale Lents, 51st Security Forces Squadron uses one of the new cable columnmachines at the fitness center Thursday. All of the new equipment arrived on base Jan. 4. Photoby Senior Airman Brok McCarthyday. This would include taking timeout of your day to walk a mile andonce you can accomplish a mile,increase to a mile and a half. Onceyou hit your goal in April then youneed to rethink your goal and maybeincrease the mileage by another date.Meet mini-goals. Make smallchanges every week and they will addup in time. It's easier to take "babysteps" then try to run a marathon thefirst time. Week One: Walk to work and donot use the taxi service Week Two. Start drinking dietsodas in place of regular soda Week Three. Go out to eat threetimes a week and not everyday. Week Four. Bring your ownsnacks to work and not rely on the"sunshine fund" Week Five. Decrease your alcoholconsumption when going out.Ask for support from your wingman.Don't think you have to do italone. Tell your friend or wingman,what you want to accomplish, yourgoals and tell them how they can help.It is also good to let them know whatdoesn't help.Chart your progress. There aremany free and great tools on the internetsuch as: mypyramid.gov orfitday.com that can help track yourprogress, add up your exercise expenditureand how many calories you areconsuming per day. Also, sign up forPortion off the Pounds, your base's fiveweek weight loss program offered bythe Health and Wellness Center.Be realistic. Nothing sets you upfor failure more than having unrealisticexpectations. If you've set an unrealisticgoal, say losing 30 pounds in onemonth, you will become very discouragedwhen that doesn't happen. Thebest weight loss is slow weight loss.Healthy weight loss per week is one totwo pounds. You didn't put the weighton overnight and you will not get it offovernight.Remember that your HAWC is hereto help with diet and exercise counselingand follow ups. The HAWC islocated behind the fitness center and isonly a walk away. You can call andmake an appointment at 784-HAWC(4292).He said the upgrade of all this equipment will not onlybenefit the Airmen at Osan, but at geographically separatedunits, as well."Our old equipment goes to GSUs who don't have fitnesscenters but do have services facilities where equipmentcan be set up," he said. "By doing this we are reducing,recycling and reusing serviceable equipment."Along with the new equipment, the center has alsostarted a new workout buddy program. In order to participatein the program, individuals only need to write theirnames, phone numbers and what kind of work out stylethey like on a board located between the cardio and weightrooms.Anyone who would like to lift weights and isn't surehow to correctly use the equipment, or would like a workoutplan, can set up an appointment with the center's personaltrainers by calling 784-5568.MLK Day 5k runThe fitness center is hosting a 5k runSaturday at 9 a.m. Individuals wishing to participatemust register prior to the run’s starttime.
