Clear opens its doors for Alaskan Natives By Senior Master Sgt. Paul Mann 168th Wing

CLEAR AIR FORCE STATION, Alaska — The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines neighbors as one living or located near another, as in next-door neighbors or friends and neighbors, but does not define the distance. Separated by only 24 miles, Clear Air Force Station and Nenana, Alaska, are neighbors spending time getting reacquainted. Clear AFS, Alaska, home to the 168th Wing’s, 213th Space Warning Squadron and the 13th Space Warning Squadron, whose parent unit is the 21st Space Wing, Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., plays a role in relationship building between the U.S. government and Alaska Native tribal governments, which is why Clear leadership invited the Nenana Native Council out to the base earlier this month. “Tribal relations are part of the Air Force’s responsibilities, and as Guardsmen we are uniquely suited to support this responsibility,” said Lt. Col. John Oberst, 213th SWS commander. Clear and the NNC have had a formal relationship for almost ten years, but the base and Alaska Natives have been neighbors for almost 60 years. Leadership has changed several times in the past ten years, so the meeting held on July 12th reestablished the formal relationship and allowed Clear’s newest leaders to meet their Nenana counterparts. “We are doing these meetings all across the See Alaskan Natives page 6

CLEAR AIR FORCE STATION, Alaska — Pamela Miller, Cultural Resources Media Manager for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, Peterson AFB, Colorado, listens as Jessica Shaw from the Nenana Native Council, Nenana, Alaska, shares some of the possible cultural and community activities that the two governments could participate in together, during a tribal relations meeting at Clear Air Force Station, Alaska, July 12, 2017. Miller and several other members of the AFCEC, along with personnel from Clear and members of NNC, held the meeting and had lunch together at the interior-Alaska base to help reestablish relations between the neighboring communities.

FOUNTAIN, Colo. — Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, answers Colorado Springs community members’ questions during an open house at Janitell Junior High School, July 25, 2017, Fountain, Colo. The open house was one of several AFCEC and 21st SW community engagements discussing the site inspection report released earlier that day covering an update on the perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid contamination. They also met with key state and federal members during a closeddoor meeting followed with a media roundtable and the open house.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Members from the Air Force Civil Engineer Center and 21st Space Wing leadership held a media roundtable and open house at Janitell Junior High School, July 25, 2017, at Fountain, Colorado. AFCEC released the site inspection report on suspected perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) releases earlier that day. The site inspection report is part of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act process. Following the release, three members of AFCEC, Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, and Lt. Col. Landon Phillips, 21st Civic Engineer Squadron,

met with the Colorado Springs community to personally answer questions through various forums. The leaders held a closed-door meeting with county commissioners, City of Fountain leaders, U.S. House of Representative Doug Lamborn staffers, U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner staffers, public health representatives and other key stakeholders for a candid question and answer session. The closed door meeting was followed by a media roundtable and an open house for the community. Moore, who took command of the 21st SW on July 11, led the media roundtable on what the Air Force and Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, have done since the Environmental Protection Agency See Findings page 8

Dedication to Compliance

adult purchase. Kids 12 & under. Dine-in only. Must order from Kid’s Meals. Not valid with other offers. CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo. — In an Air Force full of “shalls,” “musts,” and “wills,” total compliance is something that I don’t think is ever achievable. The statement “COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PUBLICATION IS MANDATORY,” is written across thousands of directive Air Force publications that Airmen are ordered to follow, but in the end, no Air Force member or organization can know of, or completely comply with all requirements. When internally or externally inspected, our inevitable violations are categorized as minor, significant, or critical. Are these violations a measure of our commitment to the Air Force and its mission? I believe the answer is no. Violations will happen, however, the important measuring stick is how Airmen and organizations use standards of conduct, for example the Air Force Core Values, to better comply with the thousands of written orders they are given. My intent with the above statements is not to minimize the importance of written orders by authoritative publications. Air

Master Sgt. Richard Nash 721st Security Forces Squadron

Force publications are necessary to ensure that standardized processes and by-law requirements are followed by over 600,000 total force personnel. My intent is to acknowledge the fact that it is impossible to be in compliance with every requirement at all times, and that’s okay. What’s not okay is not doing anything about that fact. Even though 100% compliance can never be achieved, it is still the duty of Air Force personnel to identify and minimize violations. Using the Air Force Core Values is vital while continuously striving to meet this goal. Having “Integrity first” is more than just doing the right thing when it comes to compliance. Sometimes situations may occur where doing the right thing by Air

Force standards is hard, or even impossible. Integrity may mean having the courage to identify violations even if doing so will “rock the boat.” Organizations are often reluctant to change, especially when mission success is high. Identifying rule violations is everyone’s job and should be encouraged, however, when things are running successfully, change agents are often discouraged. We must strive to not only do the right thing when no one is looking, but also identify the right thing to the unreceptive. On the other hand, leaders must have the openness to be receptive when violations are brought to them. The biggest challenge I see in regards to compliance and the second core value of “Service before self,” is having faith in the system. To knowingly not comply with Air Force requirements is to believe you know better than the leaders appointed over you. Sometimes requirements and processes seem utterly cumbersome and nonsensical, but disregarding the standards is not an option given to us. We must have faith our leaders have written these processes for a reason and we must strive to educate ourselves to

understand the bigger picture. Achieving “Excellence in all we do” is easier said than done. To me, excellence is something more evolutionary than static. We all know that members of the Air Force must continue to pursue personal development in order to be successful in the Air Force but the same is true for an individual’s or organization’s adherence to standards. When I think about the easiest way to conduct selfdevelopment, it is to pursue education. The same is true for compliance. As stated above there are thousands of Air Force publications. Reading, studying, and complying with them is a responsibility of all Airmen at every level of leadership. It may be possible to be in compliance by mistake if you haven’t read the requirements, but it is impossible to be excellent in all that you do by mistake. Excellence takes work. The inability to follow all Air Force standards is not something often discussed, but is a struggle that individuals and organizations face every day. The best tool you can use to help minimize compliance violations, may be one of the first things you learned in basic training, the Air Force Core Values.

Sun Exposure – Good or Bad?

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — (Spoiler Alert: It’s Both) Get outside and spend some time in the sun! In addition to being fun, time in the outdoors can do some really positive things for your health. Some of the benefits of sunshine include boosting your mood, calibrating your circadian rhythm and providing your body with a much-needed dose of vitamin D. However, overexposure to sunlight can also pose some very serious health hazards. Knowing the risks (and how to mitigate them) can help you maximize your outdoor enjoyment without jeopardizing your future well-being.

What Harm Can It Do?

Quite a lot, unfortunately! Here are some of the dangers associated with overexposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UVA & UVB) radiation: •• Sunburn: whether it’s just mildly painful redness or a blistered mess, sunburns mean you’ve overdone it and skin damage has occurred. Sun-burns present a greater risk for people with paler skin tones. •• Photokeratitis: essentially a sunburn of the eyes, is a painful condition often described as a “gritty, sandy feeling,”. Overex-posure of the cornea and whites of your eyes to UV rays can even lead to permanent eye damage. •• Skin Damage: when it comes to sun exposure, everyone is at risk regardless of skin color. Exposure to UV can cause dam-age to the DNA in your skin cells. This damage is cumulative; it builds up over time, leading to premature aging and vari-ous types of skin cancer. Be careful, that “healthy tan” is actually an indication of skin damage!

Example of UV levels over a summer’s day

UVI

Environmental Factors

9am 11am 1pm 3pm 5pm The UV Index is an international, scientific measure of the level of Ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The higher the level, the greater the risk of skin damage. (Courtesy graphic)

There are some environmental conditions that can increase our risk of overexposure. These conditions vary, but they all have the same effect: they increase the amount of UV radiation that can get to you. •• Latitude and time of day: it may seem like a no-brainer, but the sun’s relative angle determines how much UV light you’re subjected to. As we get closer to the equator, UV exposure increases along with the risk of sun damage. Additionally, the hours of greatest exposure are between 1000 and 1600 — these are the times when it pays the most to be cautious. •• Altitude: when we increase our altitude, we also decrease the amount of UV-blocking atmosphere between ourselves and the sun. According to the

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — There are several factors to help protect overexposed skin from the sun by understanding ultraviolet radiation, environmental factors and protective measures.

Taxi to Peterson AFB with Silver Key By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Silver Key has announced free transportation services will expand to include Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, for veterans and their dependents age 60 and above starting in July, 2017. A valid military ID will be required for all riders entering Peterson AFB and services will be limited to Tuesdays only. “We are thrilled to be able to provide transportation support to Peterson, giving veterans and their families access to services they have earned,” said Lorri Orwig, Silver Key Senior Services, Inc., chief development officer. The driver will wait for retirees to conduct their business at Peterson AFB and take them home afterwards. Beverly Price, 21st Force Support Squadron, community support coordinator, was recently at a Colorado Springs non-profit conference serving on a military panel when she was approached by Lorri Orwig and was asked if Silver Key could provide transportation services to Peterson AFB. “I thought that was great idea because we have a lot of retirees who can’t drive or have medical issues,” said Price. “My goal here as community support coordinator is to make a difference.” Additionally Silver Key currently provides services to Fort Carson on Mondays and the U.S. Air Force Academy on Thursdays. Providing service to Peterson AFB allows veterans and their families to enjoy the benefits they have earned. “I talked with a woman who said she spends over 60 dollars a week on taxi cabs so she can shop at the com-

CLEAR AIR FORCE STATION, Alaska — Kane Evan and Victor Lord, members of the Nenana Native Council, Nenana, Alaska, listen as Lt. Col. John Oberst, commander 213th Space Warning Squadron, Clear Air Force Station, Alaska, welcomes the members of the Council to a tribal relations meeting at Clear, July 12, 2017. Evan and Lord, along with several other members of the Nenana Native Council, were invited to the meeting by Air Force and Air National Guard personnel in order to reestablish relations with the Alaskan Natives.

CLEAR AIR FORCE STATION, Alaska — 1st Chief Donald Charlie, Nenana Native Council, flanked by his wife Virginia Charlie, and Council members Jessica Shaw and Jeri Knabe, provided opening remarks on behalf of the Council, during the tribal relations meeting held at Clear Air Force Station, Alaska, July 12, 2017. Charlie remarked how the meeting between the Air National Guard and Air Force leaders from Clear was a historical event, one that he could not in recent memories remember ever occurring.

Alaskan Natives From page 1 Air Force,” said Pamela Miller, Cultural Resources Media Manager for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, Peterson AFB, Colorado. Air Force Instruction 90-2002, Air Force Interactions with Federally-Recognized Tribes, provides Air Force personnel with the information needed in identifying roles and responsibilities, designating an Installation Tribal Liaison Officer, and creating an Installation Tribal Relations Plan. “Following guidance of a new Air Force instruction, [we’re] helping installations move back toward better tribal consultations and relationship building practices,” Miller said. The meeting, followed by a cookout luncheon, brought together several members of the Nenana Native Council, Air Force and Air National Guard leaders from Clear, civilian employees of the Air Force, and a tribal consultation specialist from the Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands at Colorado State University.

Help save lives

Several members of the NNC expressed their gratitude for being invited and welcomed onto Clear, and remarked how excited they were to receive the invitation. During the open discussion period of the meeting, 1st Chief Donald Charlie invited the Clear leadership to Nenana and their community meeting. “When I responded to the invitation to come out here, I used the word historic in my response,” said 1st Chief Charlie. “Although Nenana and Clear have been partners for a long time, our backdoor neighbors,” said Charlie, “I don’t in recent memory remember any kind of meeting like this between the tribe and the personnel at Clear. So that’s why I called it a historic meeting, and I think it should go down as one.” Several personnel from Clear attended the Nenana Community Safety-Village Pride event on the 13th of July, shared a meal and heard the latest news from various villages within the tribe. For Alaskan Natives, storytelling is an important and vibrant tradition, and perhaps these meeting, these new beginnings will be incorporated in stories for future generations.

AF offers high year of tenure extensions to retain experienced Airmen By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — The Air Force is offering high year of tenure extensions to active-duty Airmen in certain shortage Air Force Specialty Codes and grades effective Aug. 1. High year of tenure, or HYT, refers to the maximum number of years enlisted Airmen in each grade may remain on active duty. This voluntary extension opportunity focuses on retaining experienced Airmen in shortage specialties such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, maintenance, nuclear, cyber and special operations to help improve readiness. “Squadron commanders may approve extensions for qualified Airmen, which reinforces the Air Force Chief of Staff’s efforts to revitalize squadrons,” said Col. Erik Bovasso, Military Sustainment and Transitions Programs division chief at the Air Force’s Personnel Center. “This purposeful empowerment places the approval authority and responsibility at the right level, with commanders who know their mission and Airmen best.” The HYT program allows eligible senior airmen, staff sergeants, technical sergeants and master sergeants in targeted AFSCs and grades to apply for a high year of tenure extension between 12 and 24 months in order for the Air Force to retain experience and enhance mission effectiveness and readiness. “Although retention is high in some career fields and FY16 and 17 retention programs were successful, the Air Force needs to ensure experienced Airmen are available to complete the mission as well as train new Airmen,” Bovasso said. “HYT extensions will help improve mission capability in key areas where readiness is currently strained.” Eligibility for HYT is limited to those AFSCs and grades posted on the matrix on myPers, and is based on the Airman’s control AFSC as listed in the Military Personnel Data System on July 21. “The Air Force will notify Airmen via email of their eligibility to request an extension,” Bovasso said. “Airmen must

High year of tenure extensions are available starting Aug. 1 to Airmen in shortage specialties and grades, such as special operations, in order to retain experience and enhance mission effectiveness. Airmen must have a HYT date of Oct. 1, 2017, through Sept. 30, 2018, for program eligibility. have a HYT date of Oct. 1, 2017, through Sept. 30, 2018, to be eligible under this program.” Airmen with a previous HYT extension approved for a period of less than 24 months may, if otherwise eligible, request an extension under the FY17/18 program. However, the total number of months of HYT extension for their approved AFSC and grade cannot exceed 24 months. “For example, an Airman approved for a Hardship HYT extension for a period of 12 months, who meets the eligibility criteria, may request an additional extension of up to 12 months under the FY 17/18 program,” Bovasso said.

The window for submitting a HYT extension request via the application on myPers is Aug. 1, 2017, through May 31, 2018. Qualified Airmen should check with the Career Development element at the local Force Support Squadron for details, as specific timelines depend on the Airman’s current HYT date. Find additional information about eligibility criteria, application process and other specifics on myPers. Select “Active Duty Enlisted” from the dropdown menu and search “HYT.” For more information about Air Force personnel programs, go to myPers.

established lifetime health advisory levels for PFOS/PFOA in drinking water to 70 parts per trillion. “This is my community now, and as a resident of El Paso County, my team and I take environmental concerns very seriously,” said Moore. “We have nearly 11,000 Team Pete employees who live here — enlisted, officers, civilians and contractors, some of whom live in affected areas.” The fieldwork for the site inspection was completed in November 2016. The fieldwork included testing at 23 groundwater samples, 33 surface and/or subsurface soil samples, two sediment samples and two surface water samples. The report concluded that activities at Peterson AFB have impacted the environment at the areas tested. “One of the things we have learned in our study at Peterson Air Force Base is that we have a less than perfect understanding about how ground water moves at the installation,” said Cornell Long, AFCEC team lead. “So

www.peterson.af.mil what we need to do is go out and investigate further (into) these paleo channels to understand, because we don’t have a good understanding, how contamination that might occur in groundwater on base actually moves and how it might impact drinking water off the installation.” The next step in the Air Force’s response to suspected PFOS/PFOA contamination is to delineate the source and scope of the contamination. This step received funding from the Secretariat office of Financial Management last week. Additionally, Moore briefed six actions the Air Force and Peterson AFB has taken to reduce PFOS and PFOA from entering the environment. The actions include the replacement of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) in emergency response vehicles, treating accidental releases of AFFF as releases of hazardous material, preventing inadvertent releases to the sanitary sewer, and providing $4.3 million dollars of contract authority for the provision of alternate drinking water. For more information on site inspection report, visit the Public Notices page on the Peterson AFB website. For more information on PFOS and PFOA visit the AFCEC website.

Viewing the Solar Eclipse:

5 Things to Know By Lt. Col. Jeffrey A. Newsom 21st Aerospace Medical Squadron

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — On Monday, 21 August 2017, a perfect lineup of the sun, moon, and Earth will be visible across North America from coast to coast for the first time in 38 years. One of the grandest and most fleeting natural spectacles known to humanity, this total solar eclipse is predicted to be the most viewed ever. Here are five things for Airmen and families to know for a safe viewing experience: 1. The path of “totality” — when the moon entirely blocks the sun’s face — will stretch from Salem, Oregon, starting at 1016 and reach Charleston, South Carolina, at 1448. This means Mountain Home, F.E. Warren, Offutt, Scott, Arnold, Shaw, and Charleston will briefly experience near 100% eclipse, while the rest of the United States will see at least 70-90% to include Peterson AFB and Schreiver AFB. 2. Looking directly at the solar eclipse without proper eye protection is unsafe and can cause serious permanent eye damage. The lone exception is during the brief total phase of the eclipse which will last under 3 minutes and only within the 70-mile wide band of totality. Outside of that window, there will be harmful rays for the duration of the celestial event. 3. Homemade filters and standard sunglasses — even dark or polarized ones — are not sufficient to prevent eye damage. This also goes for unfil-

tered cameras, telescopes, binoculars, and other optical devices. The only safe way to directly view the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters (“eclipse glasses” or handheld solar viewers) that are “CE” certified and meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard. Look for these at community centers, public libraries, and through reputable manufacturers online. Those within the narrow band of totality can remove the solar viewer when the moon completely covers the sun and should replace it for the remaining partial phases. Always supervise children using solar viewers as young eyes are particularly susceptible to solar exposure damage. 4. Indirect viewing techniques are a safe and fun alternative. Pinhole projectors using your hands, cereal boxes, or other projection techniques are popular ways to safely observe a solar eclipse. Look online for instructions on how to make a simple projector. For the safest viewing experience, NASA will host a livestream “Eclipse Megacast” with exclusive multiplatform coverage across the path of totality. 5. For more information and resources to safely enjoy the rare solar eclipse, contact the Peterson AFB optometry clinic at 556-1065. NASA also has a safety section at https:// eclipse2017.nasa.gov. Remember, NEVER look directly at the sun with the naked eye except during the brief total phase. If you experience problems with your eyes or vision following the eclipse, be sure to check in with the optometry clinic.

Hope begins with you By Investigator Adam J. Miller 21st Security Forces Squadron

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — When we hear the words “Human Trafficking,” we often imagine men sitting in a dark room, wearing suits, smoking cigars and bidding on victims. That is until the hero breaks down the door, rescues the victims and they ride off into the sunset. Unfortunately for the real life victims, the hero seldom ever comes. However, there is hope, which begins with you. Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Human trafficking signatures are unique and identifiable if you look for them. Some signs of human trafficking include working excessively long or unusual hours, high security measures in their work environment, being fearful or anxious, avoiding eye contact, appearing malnourished, having little to no personal items, and does not control their identification or passport. If you know these signs and pay at-

tention, you can be the hero in rescuing someone from the grip of human trafficking. We often think that these things do not happen, because we simply do not want them to. The fact is, according to the International Labor Organization report, in 2014 an estimated 21 million people were victims of human trafficking. These staggering numbers earn traffickers roughly $150 billion dollars every year! In 2016, the Human Trafficking Hotline reported over 120 human trafficking cases in Colorado, and nearly 400 calls to report possible trafficking; sex trafficking being the most common method with 85 confirmed cases. If you observe any activity that you believe may be linked to human trafficking, contact the 21st Security Forces Squadron Investigations section at 556-7060. As a member of the Colorado Springs community, you can be the hero these victims so desperately need by reporting suspected trafficking activity. Your vigilance will give these victims a path to freedom as well as a much needed second chance at life.

Sun Exposure From page 3

World Health Organization, every 1,000m climb in altitude increases UV levels by 10%. •• Reflective surfaces: snow, water, and sand are all examples that reflect sunlight back up at us, increasing the amount of radi-ation that we absorb.

Protective Measures

Whether you’re outside for five minutes or five hours, there are ways to mitigate the detrimental effects of ultraviolet radiation. Keep in mind, UV exposure can be almost as bad on cool or cloudy days! •• Cover up: wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, or tightly-woven clothing helps limit the amount of UV that hits your body. •• Wear sunscreen: Experts agree for extended exposure, use a sun-screen with a broadspectrum SPF of 30 or higher to protect yourself from both UVA and UVB. Don’t forget to reapply sun-screen as directed! •• Stick to the shade: minimizing your time in direct sunlight goes a long way towards keeping your skin healthy. We are human performance enhancement consultants. Here for you — providing a multitude of services. Call today 719-556-4185 to see how we can help your organization!
