Minuteman III Launches Air Force Global Strike Command Public Affairs
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — A team of Air Force Global Strike Command Airmen from the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, launched an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with a single test reentry vehicle Aug. 2 at 2:10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. While not a response to recent North Korean actions, the test demonstrates that the United States’ nuclear enterprise is safe, secure, effective and ready to be able to deter, detect and defend against attacks on the United States and its allies. The ICBM’s reentry vehicle, which contained a telemetry package used for operational testing, traveled approximately 4,200 miles to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. These test launches verify the accuracy and reliability of the ICBM weapon system, providing valuable data to ensure a continued safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent. “This operational test launch highlights the commitment and outstanding professionalism of the 90th Missile Wing, the 576th Flight Test Squadron and our mission partners in the 30th Space Wing,” said Col. Dave Kelley, 576th Flight Test Squadron commander. “These test launches require the highest-degree of technical competence and commitment at every level and provide critical data necessary to validate the reliability, accuracy and performance of the ICBM force.

Running toward the flames By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — On a very hot and dry day Staff Sgt. Amber Powell, 21st Space Wing Detachment 1 instructor upgraded early warning radar instructor, headed home, hoping to cool off after a day’s work. But, events would heat up before she got anywhere near home. Powell, along with other Beale Air Force Base Airmen, helped warn and evacuate residents when flames threatened two homes and outlying buildings July 24, 2017. The group then assisted local police and fire crews in saving one home and evacuating pets.
That’s when they did something most people would not; they ran towards the fire. Leaving through the Vasser Lake gate, Powell noticed black smoke and flames about 300 yards away. Continuing over a rise, she realized there was no way the fire could be under control. She turned her vehicle

around and saw there was a house in the path of the flames. That is when she leaped into action. “I am absolutely glad I did it, no doubt about that,” Powell said. “I was at the right place at the right time and made the right decision. It was obvious people needed help. There was no real decision to make… I just went into action.” Powell rushed to the neighbor’s home, the one in the path of the flames, and met another Airman. While he called 9-1-1, Powell knocked on the door. The other Airman joined in, but the residents did not answer their door. See Flames page 6

Goals and Success
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — One of my favorite questions to ask formal leaders is how they define success. Interestingly, I’ve never heard one relate success to rank. I also ask Airmen how they define success and have received an array of answers. The most common answer, usually following a long pause, is in some way related to goal accomplishment. Almost everyone I’ve spoken with seems to understand this concept, so why do so many people not have goals or make goals and settle for less than what they set out for? I believe it is our job to mentor everyone around us regardless of rank. Part of this includes getting to know people as individuals, helping them figure out what they want in life, and following up on their progress. When we can instill a sense of self-accountability in people, where they get disappointed in themselves for falling short and quit making excuses, we leave them with a powerful drive to succeed. Some people just need someone else to believe in them before they
Master Sgt. Justin L. Ashjian Peterson Area Dental Laboratory begin to unleash their potential. If you are not able to make goals and follow through on them, it will be hard for you to coach others on success. When is the last time you asked yourself “Where am I going from here and what do I want out of life?” Do you have a solid answer to those questions? Too many of us take life one day at a time with no real path of what we want to accomplish. We cross bridges as they come, just surviving to live another day. Find a leader that knows what he or she wants and look at the drive and determination they have, the will and grit they bring each day. Do you want to be more like them
or do you want to quit because you can’t compete with them? Successful people don’t change their goals because they are tired or the timing isn’t perfect. They don’t find an excuse for why they couldn’t get it done; they just get it done and move on. If you fall into the trap of getting discouraged because of the accomplishments of others, you need to change your game plan. Reevaluate what’s important to you and focus your energy on improving yourself. One of the most overlooked aspects of setting goals is aligning them with your value — not your supervisor’s values and not your friends’ values. You must be willing to make sacrifices. If you make a fitness goal but aren’t willing to sacrifice television time or sleep, you value television and sleep too much. It’s not always easy to align goals with values, but follow-through is what separates mediocrity from greatness. To be successful, you must commit to holding yourself accountable. Setting challenging goals and strategizing a path to accomplishing them should be a priority in every aspect of life. If you are

spending time that is not focused on goal accomplishment, it is wasted time. Evaluate your routines to see how much waste is in your day. Sure, goals are risky. You may put in all the work and still come up short, which is why it takes mental toughness and resilience to keep grinding when the odds are against you. As Ray Lewis, retired NFL star, said, “If it was easy, everybody would do it.” When I was younger I was getting ready for a football game and it was blistering cold outside. I looked at my brother and said, “It’s too cold to play.” He smiled and said, “I love it, I dominate in the cold!” The lesson he taught me was to find a way to thrive in uncomfortable situations. There isn’t anyone I know that has been able to achieve success without the ability to face adversity and overcome it. It’s easy to shine when everyone is patting you on the back and praising your efforts, but when you are beat down and no one is watching, your real character emerges. Vince Lombardi said, “Winning is a habit, but unfortunately, so is losing.”

CMSAF underscores leadership’s role in developing Airmen By Senior Airman Stormy Archer 502nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright visited Joint Base San Antonio July 31 to Aug. 4, 2017, during an immersion to view Air Education and Training Command’s role forging innovative Airmen to power the world’s greatest Air Force. Visits with Airmen from several units across JB San Antonio including AETC headquarters, Air Force Recruiting Service, 19th Air Force, the 37th Training Wing, 502nd Air Base Wing, 59th Medical Wing, the Medical and Training Command, the Air Force Personnel Center and the Profession of Arms Center of Excellence marked the five-day immersion. “AETC is the first command; they continue to recruit, train and inspire all Airmen across the globe,” said Wright. “They have incredible missions here ranging from flying training to technical training and basic training. What I have seen here is the incredible professional Airmen that help us execute all of the missions that ultimately lead to more lethal warfighters across our Air Force.” During his visit, Wright also held several all-calls with Airmen, including a senior NCO call at JB San Antonio-Randolph to discuss the role leadership has in developing new Airmen. “I know for a fact that our recruiters recruit the best and brightest minds that America has to offer and they come out of Basic Military Training fired up, motivated and ready to go,” said Wright. “It’s our job to keep them that way and help them advance in their career.” While at JB San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Wright attended a JB San Antonio Military and Family Readiness Program orientation to discuss better ways to take care of Airmen and their families.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright discusses recent changes to enlisted professional development education during a senior NCO call on Aug. 31, 2017 at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. The Air Force’s senior enlisted leader was at the base for an immersion with Air Education and Training Command headquarters and missions. “One of our greatest challenges we need to place a greater focus on is identifying young Airmen and families that need the services available and connecting the two,” said Wright. “Many times our young Airmen won’t raise their hand and say they need help. It’s the responsibility of supervisors to know
what their Airmen need and connect them to those resources. Our airmen and family readiness centers are fantastic, and they really do a great job providing the resources people need. We just need to make the connection.” At JB San Antonio-Lackland, Wright met with military training leaders where the inte-
gration of innovative solutions into training through the application of emerging ideas, tools, and technology was discussed, which is a major focus area for AETC. “I think we need to evolve the way we train,

Dobbins, other Reserve C-130 units team up for training exercise in Rockies By Staff Sgt. Andrew Park 94th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. — Train as you fight and fight as you train. So goes the old adage about putting in the work required in practice to perform effectively under pressure. The same is true for Dobbins as it must prepare its C-130s to perform in a variety of locations as required by the mission. Last Friday, two C-130s from the 94th Airlift Wing participated in high-altitude airdrops alongside two C-130s from the 302nd Airlift Wing, Peterson Air Force Base, Colo.; and one C-130 from the 910th Airlift Wing, Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio as part of a training exercise above the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The training exercise began early July, 28, 2017 with a small breakout session with 302nd pilot instructors and a concept brief. Later that morning, a five-ship C-130 formation took off and made its way through winding valleys dotted with evergreen trees and over craggy mountain peaks to the drop zone, situated 9,800 feet above sea level. At the dropzone, each plane dropped one training bundle. Afterward, the aircraft landed briefly at a Colorado regional airport before returning to Peterson. Making up the southern portion of the mountain range, the Colorado Rockies reach heights greater than 14,000 feet. Although the distance between the airplane and the dropzone is comparable to that of normal airdrops here, the mountainous terrain creates some unique challenges. “The difference flying in the mountains at that altitude is that it was above 10,000 feet, which requires us to fly under oxygen,” said Maj. Jeremy Corner, 700th Airlift Squadron flight commander.

DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga — Two C-130H Hercules from the 94th Airlift Wing, Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Ga. are parked on the flightline at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. Aug. 3, 2017. The two aircraft participated with other C-130s in high-altitude airdrops in the Colorado Rockies. Corner explained how normal operations become much more labor intensive while the plane is depressurized and the crew operates on oxygen. The process itself also takes longer than airdrops performed under normal circumstances. “Typically around here, we don’t have to be on oxygen for any of our airdrops,” said Staff Sgt. DJ Metroka, 700th AS instructor loadmaster. “The only time we actually do it is for training purposes, so actually having
to be on oxygen versus just training with oxygen is huge for us in trying to get everything accomplished.” The exercise also provided the opportunity for several Air Force Reserve C-130 units to fly together while learning from each other and gaining confidence flying along the rocky terrain. “We’re excited,” said Maj. Jesse Newberry, 302nd AW mission commander during the initial briefing. Newberry is responsible for
the large-scale coordination and overall mission planning. “I know some of the units have played in the mountains before. Basically, we want to increase your confidence in the mountains. We want you to get a chance to see some big rocks you’re not used to seeing, have some fun, work through some checklists in the mountains, maybe play on oxygen in a way you haven’t done before and then See Exercise page 8

Air Force to radically reduce instructions cism when Airmen feel they cannot possibly follow every written rule. “There are more AFIs than we need,” she said. “Let’s not tell Airmen how to do everything. Let’s tell them what to do and let them surprise us with their ingenuity.” “Secretary Wilson and I trust our Airmen will make the right decision, based on the values, training and experience the Air Force has provided them,” said Gen. David L. Goldfein, Air Force Chief of Staff. “By reducing the number of Air Force directives we are trusting our Airmen and pushing down decision authority to commanders.”

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson announced the Air Force will seek to significantly reduce unnecessary Air Force instructions over the next 24 months in order to allow greater flexibility and mission focus.
Empower exceptional leaders, enable the warfighter
In a room full of new Air Force fellows at the National Defense University, Wilson said the 1,300 official instructions are often outdated and inconsistent, breeding cyni-

That’s when they did something most people would not; they ran towards the fire. “We had to jump a couple of fences because the gates were locked,” Powell said. “We ran towards where the fire was.” They reached the home on the burning property, immediately went to the front and met the female resident of the home coming out. After assuring nobody else was inside, they started looking for other ways to help. “We noticed there were some dogs in the back and saw fire catching in the back-
yard,” she said. “There were about eight big dogs in there, but the gate was locked.” The fire department was on the scene within about 10 minutes, said Powell, so she went to them for something to put out the backyard flames. The water canister they received was used up quickly and didn’t make much headway fighting the encroaching fire. They managed to get the gates unlocked and move the dogs, some by walking while others were carried to a nearby horse trailer. The male resident drove the trailer away from the property and the spreading flames. “Then somebody said something about puppies at the place where the fire started,” said Powell. She and the other Airman went to res-

The effort will start with the 40 percent of instructions that are out of date and those identified by Airmen as top priorities. “The first step will target immediate rescission,” Wilson said. “We want to significantly reduce the number of publications, and make sure the remaining ones are current and relevant.” Airmen can visit the Airmen Powered by Innovation portal to provide input on which publications should be prioritized for review. The second phase will be a review of

By this time a group of neighbors arrived and between them and the Airmen the puppies were rescued. But there was more. The porch of the home started catching fire, so Powell and the other Airmen began to fight those flames. They sprayed the roof with a garden hose and attempted to break off the weaker, plywood porch section from the home. With that fire quenched, there was still more to be done and Powell and the others were up to the task. “This is where all of us in the military got together and we could talk,” she said. They went toward smaller fires with

shovels and, along with the local firefighters, gained control of the situation. Because of the quick thinking of Powell and the others there were no serious injuries. “I had some mild smoke inhalation and an EMT said I would have a cough for a few days,” she said. “I didn’t need any treatment. I came out pretty much unscathed.” Powell gave credit to her Air Force training as the factor that caused her to move quickly to assist in the situation. “It had to have come from my Air Force training,” she said. “I am not a big fan of fire.

all other directive publications issued by Headquarters Air Force. These publications contain more than 130,000 compliance items at the wing level. Publications should add value, set policy and describe best practices, she said. They should also give authority to the lowest practical level to waive instructions when experience and good judgement suggest that is the best course. Airmen will have the opportunity to be part of an Air Force survey within the next several weeks. The survey will ask for feedback on the most important instructions to rescind or revise.

COLORADO ROCKIES, Colo. — The shadow of a C-130H Hercules is seen over a lake in the Colorado Rockies July 28, 2017. Two Hercules from the 94th Airlift Wing, Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Ga. participated in high-altitude airdrops alongside other Air Force Reserve C-130 wings as part of a training exercise.
Exercise From page 5
really work together as a Reserve C-130 unit.” “There are a lot of opportunities for talking among yourselves and among each other,” said Lt. Col. Richard Pantusa, 302nd Operations Group commander, at the briefing. “We don’t know what we take for granted as a standard. We don’t know what our culture is excluding that you guys might include and vice versa. So flying together, unless we do this intentionally, we’re going to show up somewhere and have to do this for real and there’s going to be a whole bunch of question marks and it’s going to take a lot of work to work through all those questions. Now’s the time to train.” In addition to working with others, many of the Dobbins aircrew members had the chance to work with each other to review a few fundamentals of airdrop procedures, leading to a focus on safer operations. “When you’re flying at high altitudes, especially low-level flying through the mountains, we run the possibility of equipment shifting

around in the back,” said Metroka. “We need to take the extra precaution to make sure nobody’s going to get hurt. There’s a lot more planning involved, but it also gets our guys forward thinking so if we have to do this in combat, we’re prepared.” Training in high altitudes might seem a bit strange for a wing that flies out of Georgia, but there are real implications for the 94th AW’s support of the larger mission, especially in combat-related missions in mountainous countries like Afghanistan where aircraft are regularly used to deliver personnel and supplies to austere locations. “Where it provides benefit for the Air Force is having crews from the southeast who may be asked to airdrop something above 3,000 feet in the Afghanistan mountains,” Corner explained. “You don’t want that to be the first time you see it.” It’s through training exercises such as this that pilots and aircrew are provided valuable feedback so they’ll be ready for real-world scenarios where precision in executing the mission is the difference between troops on the frontlines getting vital materials or not. “I’m really glad that you guys are all here,” said Pantusa, concluding the brief. “This is awesome. This is how we should be training.”

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK TOOL:
Identifying gaps and strengths at Peterson AFB By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The U.S. Air Force Community Feedback Tool survey is available online and is open to all Airmen, Airmen’s spouses, and Air Force civilian employees at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 2, 2017 through Oct. 2 Knowing what Airmen want is a necessity for the 21st Space Wing. Getting that information is required in order to fully anticipate where the wing should focus its energy. The online survey is estimated to take about 20 minutes to complete and participation is voluntary and all responses are confidential. “The one thing, the first thing we’re looking at is the core structure in our Air Force where Airmen thrive, and where we build readiness, and we have innovation at the squadron level…where the mission succeeds or fails in the Air Force,” said Gen. David Goldfein, Air Force Chief of Staff. Conducting surveys is an unbiased approach to decision making. Survey data can be collected to develop sensible decisions based on analyzed results. By analyzing results, topics

of importance can immediately be addressed rather than wasting time and resources on areas of little or no concern. “On a daily basis, Air Force community members are adapting to new global challenges and it is crucial to promote their resilience,” said Lt. Gen. Stayce D. Harris, Assistant Vice Chief of Staff, Director Air Staff. “I encourage leaders at all levels to support participation in this effort aimed at gathering actionable feedback directly from the members of our Air Force community.” “The ultimate source of air, space and cyberspace combat capability resides in the men and women of the U.S. Air Force,” said Chief Master Sgt. Kaleth O. Wright, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force. “We must put them first as they face the challenges inherent in serving in the profession of arms. We continue to explore opportunities to strengthen our force. While some initiatives are force wide, others are more targeted, but all have the same objective — to provide commanders with the most well-trained, deliberately developed Airmen and most resilient Airmen and families.” CMT survey has been conducted every two years. This year, however, the format has been changed making the survey easier to understand. “Our goal this year is to get at least 50% participation,”

said Beverly Price, Wing Staff Agency community support coordinator. “Participation is anonymous so Airmen need to know they can answer the question honestly.” “In a non-intimidating environment you can learn what is important to Airmen and gather meaningful insight. Airmen are more likely to provide open and honest feedback in a more private survey method,” Price added. At the end of the year Price will get the results after the Air Force tabulates the data and present it to 21st SW leadership via the Community Action Information Board. “It’s important that people take the survey so their voice is heard,” said Price. “People can grumble all they want, but unless they get the right information to the right channels, how can they make a difference? The whole idea is to make a difference so that the Air Force can make it better by improving quality of life and removing irritants.” Survey results can provide a snapshot of the attitudes and behaviors of Airmen to include thoughts, opinions and comments. This valuable feedback can help the wing measure and establish higher standards from which to compare results over time. For questions, contact Price at (719) 556-6768.

Total Force Airmen no longer need paper forms to manage their Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance, thanks to the new SGLI Online Enrollment System, or SOES. SGLI provides automatic life insurance coverage of $400,000 to service members when they enter the service.
Airmen can now manage life insurance online By Richard Salomon Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Airmen no longer need paper forms to manage their Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance, thanks to the new SGLI Online Enrollment System, or SOES. SGLI provides automatic life insurance coverage of $400,000 to service members when they enter the service. Members with SGLI also get automatic coverage for their dependent children and non-military spouses under the Family SGLI program. Notification emails containing the SOES link and other helpful information will be sent out to Total Force Airmen on their birthday month reminding them to update their SGLI information. Total Force Airmen who are deploying, separating and retiring (including those on the permanent disability retired list and the temporary disability retirement list) should update their elections and coverages before out processing. They can log into SOES using their common access card or Department of Defense self-service, or DS Logon. “This new system gives total force Airmen
with full-time SGLI coverage the ability to make online changes to their insurance and beneficiary information at any time without having to complete a paper form or visit their military personnel flight,” said Lt. Col. Gerald Cullens, the Air National Guard advisor for force management integration at the Pentagon. Veterans Affairs has been working with the Department of Defense, Defense Manpower Data Center, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and the military services to develop the new system. Transitioning from the paper-based system to the electronic process is expected to save the DOD about $12 million a year by reducing errors and overpayments. SOES also helps to eliminate unclear designations and missing or incomplete forms. SOES is available through DMDC’s milConnect web application at www.dmdc.osd. mil/milconnect. After signing in, click on “SOES” under the “Benefits” tab. The VA website under Life Insurance http://www. benefits.va.gov/insurance/sgli.asp has more information. Airmen can also visit myPers, select “Any” from the dropdown menu and enter “SOES” in the search menu.

Department of Defense BeThere Peer Support Call and Outreach Center
Background The Department of Defense launched the BeThere Peer Support Call and Outreach Center in October 2016. Staffed by Veterans and military spouses, the center encourages Service members and their families to seek support for everyday problems from peers who understand military life.
Department of Defense Offers BeThere Peer Support Call and Outreach Center
Highlights Reaching out for support when you need it is a sign of strength. The DoD BeThere Peer Support Call and Outreach Center represents the longstanding commitment of the military community to take care of each other. Peer specialists know what military life is like because they’ve been there. Here are the details of your BeThere Peer Support Call and Outreach Center: • Active duty, National Guard and Reserve members, and their families are eligible to use the center’s services. • Calls, texts and live chats are unlimited and available 24/7/365 from anywhere in the world. • You can choose the peer specialist you speak with based on a number of qualities, including Service experience, Veteran or spouse, and male or female. • Support is available for any area of life — no problem is too small. • Communication with BeThere peer specialists is kept confidential.
BeThere Peer Specialists want you to know: “We’ve been there. Now we’re here for you.”
Additional Information Call: 844-357-PEER (7337) Text: 480-360-6188 Chat and visit: https://www. BeTherePeerSupport.org Follow us: @BeTherePeerSupport @DoDPeerSupport
