Olympic divers travel to the Top of the World to thank service members By Karen Rosen Team USA Public Affairs

THULE AIR BASE, Greenland – Sam Dorman, 2016 Olympic silver medalist, greets members of the 821st Air Base Group at Thule Air Base, Greenland, Jan. 21, 2017. Dorman and Troy Dumais, four-time Olympian, visited the Top of the World as part of the “Dive Into Service” program.
THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — Divers Sam Dorman and Troy Dumais know how it feels to be on top of the world. Each had the heady experience of winning an Olympic medal and standing on the podium. Dorman took silver at the Rio 2016 Games in 3-meter synchro while Dumais earned bronze four years earlier in London in the same event. On Jan. 19 they had the rare privilege of physically being so close to the North Pole, Dorman said, “that the polar bears don’t want to go there. We went out to see the Northern Lights, and they were the Southern Lights because we were so far north we had to look south.” He and Dumais traveled to Thule Air Base on the top end of Greenland as part of the “Dive into Service” program earlier this month. Launched last year by USA Diving, the program encourages athletes to build relationships with military service members and share kindred experiences as representatives of the United States.
“That was a trip of a lifetime,” Dorman said. “The fact that we were going to Greenland, of all places, how amazing is that? Not many people ever get to go there, so I was kind of blown away by that.” The divers flew to Baltimore and boarded a chartered military plane that is also fitted to carry cargo. The flight was about six hours to Thule, which is 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle and is the U.S. Armed Forces’ most remote military base. USA Diving, in conjunction with American300 Tours, began “Dive into Service” last Sept. 11, with Dumais visiting the Air Force’s 21st Space Wing located at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The four-time Olympian was eager to sign on for another trip. “We need to thank them,” Dumais said of the service members. “They’ve gone out of their way for us. Every Airman and every service unit in the United States has protected our freedoms to the point where I can do my diving and my traveling. And as professional athletes, giving up what we gave up, that inspires them. “And when we go up there and perSee Divers page 8
16th SPCS:
Defending space at high frequencies By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — An array of satellite dishes point to strategic locations in space allowing airmen to monitor SuperHigh Frequency and Ultra-High Frequency signals assisting military units across the globe in fulfilling their missions. The 16th Space Control Squadron, part of the 21st Operations Group and housed at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, utilizes defensive space control capabilities to assure U.S. space superiority. The squadron’s motto, “Tutamine Victoria” means “With a strong defense, victory” and speaks to the fact it is the sole defensive space control unit in Air Force Space Command. With that responsibility, the 16th SPCS has a 24 hours a day, seven days a week in-garrison mission and has an additional deployable mission as well. Scheduling and manning such a detailed mission can be a challenge, said Lt. Col. Thomas Johnson, 16th SPCS commander. To fill its needs, the squadron is augmented by the 380th SPCS, its reserve associate unit. See Defending page 7

Commander’s Commentary on African-American Heritage Month PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — February is African-American Heritage Month. This month is a time to pay tribute to the arduous path that generations of African-Americans took during the history of America towards equal rights. It has often been said that to understand where you are going means understanding where you have been. In the case of the pursuit of equal rights in America, this is absolutely true. This month is a time to reflect on the difficult road that was taken on the path of realizing the words in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. For the U.S. military, there is a special aspect to AfricanAmerican history, and often times the military has been significantly ahead of the rest of society in the pursuit of equality. African-Americans have fought in every conflict that has been critical to our journey as a nation. From the American Revolutionary War to the Civil War to both World Wars, there has been significant contributions to preservation of our nation’s freedom by African-Americans. But they faced special challenges in breaking down barriers over the

years. Often times they faced two challenges: segregation and exclusion from the society they volunteered to defend and the enemy in combat. Even through these challenges, from the first all African-American units in the Civil War to the Tuskegee Airmen, they showed exceptional bravery and fought for their country. Below are some of the many exceptional African-Americans that have served in the U.S. military.
First African-American Minuteman
Lemuel Haynes: He served as a minuteman during the American Revolutionary War, fighting at the April 1775 Battle of Lexington.
Gen. Daniel “Chappie” James Jr.: The Tuskegee Airman was the first African American to become full general and achieve four stars. Upon being promoted to general, he was named commander of the North American Air Defense Command, which made him responsible for all aspects of defense for the United States and Canada.
in the U.S. Army, rising to the rank of fourstar general and becoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989 to 1993). National security adviser to President Ronald Reagan, he was appointed secretary of state in 2001 in George W. Bush’s administration. He received numerous awards, including two Presidential Medals of Freedom, the Defense Distinguished Service Medal (with three Oak Leaf Clusters), a Purple Heart and numerous decorations from other countries.
U.S. Army’s First AfricanAmerican Four-Star General
First African-American U.S. Astronaut
He was an indentured servant who enlisted in the war after earning his freedom.
First African-American General
Gen. Roscoe Robinson Jr.: Before Gen. Colin Powell, there was Robinson, who became the first African-American four-star general in the U.S. Army. The West Point graduate’s career spanned two wars and four stars. In 1993 West Point recognized him as a distinguished graduate.
First African-American Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff
Gen. Colin L. Powell: He served 35 years
Action Line The 21st Space Wing maintains a commander's action line, a direct link to the 21st Space Wing commander. The wing commander encourages its use. Concerns should be addressed at the lowest possible level in the chain of command and elevated as necessary.
Col. Guion S. Bluford Jr.: After flying combat missions over Vietnam as a U.S. Air Force pilot, he went on to become America’s first black astronaut. He flew 144 combat missions, 65 over North Vietnam, as a member of the 557th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. He is a veteran of four Space Shuttle flights (twice on Challenger and twice on Discovery) and logged over 688 hours in outer space.

When night turns to day: Prayer luncheon inspires By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
(U.S. Air Force photo by Dave Smith)
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Members of the Air Force ensemble Wild Blue Country perform during the social portion of the National Prayer Luncheon at Peterson Air Force Base, Feb. 2, 2017.
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Being aware of ones’ spirituality is helpful in building better organizations, said Chaplain (Col.) Paul Sutter, U.S. Air Force Academy chaplain, during his remarks at the National Prayer Luncheon at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. Feb. 2, 2017. Sutter was the featured speaker at the annual event, sponsored by the 21st Space Wing Chapel. The title of his presentation was “Leading Spiritually Intelligent Lives.” Spiritual intelligence is the ability to behave with wisdom and compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace regardless of the circumstances, Sutter said. “Being aware of how you tick spiritually, and how others do, helps build bridges in relationships, not walls,” he said. Sutter described spirituality being like two rivers running from a lake. From his research he used an example explaining that one river is secular spirituality while the other is sacred spirituality. Each of them has many branches and sometimes the two rivers and branches converge, cross, diverge, run parallel, or even go in opposite directions. Aspects of various spiritualties are complimentary and other aspects may oppose one another. Spiritual intelligence is employed when people use this knowledge to improve the organization to which they belong. “We need to learn how to have a conversation about improving spiritual intelligence without offending anyone,” Sutter said. “Spiritual intelligence hopefully helps (people) rise above religion to be human.” He suggested being aware of others in everyday life instead of just looking at oneself. Being centered on others helps build bridges between different people, which is the essence of spiritual intelligence. He mentioned the advice of Gen. Stephen Lorenz, former commander of Air Education and Training Command, who encouraged leaders to meet troops where they are, balancing leadership and spiritual needs. “We need to have a sense of awareness about who we are, but also about who is around us,” said Sutter. “Build bridges, not walls.” People use spiritual intelligence to drive themselves when the pressure is on and still grow as a person, Sutter said. Spiritual intelligence allows a leader to be more aware of troops as people and treat them accordingly. “Night turns into day when you can see someone and recognize them as a brother or a sister,” he said. In closing, Sutter shared a message he saw on a bumper sticker. The message said “Human Kind. (Be Both).” He encouraged the audience to be spiritually intelligent, to be human and to be kind.

Medical care gets better through research CSMNG COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP
By J.D. Levite
Air Force Surgeon General Public
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Air Force Medical Service advancements largely come from research, whether from emerging technologies or the application of new knowledge and ideas. Research helps to usher in new capabilities to the AFMS and puts concepts into practice. Lawrence Mitchell from the AFMS Research team said, “Research is driven by the warfighter. The major commands and military treatment facilities identify what capabilities they lack and what they need. We figure out how best to fill the gap they’ve identified with new ideas and concepts. Whether that means, for instance, knowledge, which brings a new clinical practice guideline or a widget that helps you measure oxygen on a patient in higher altitudes.” The different projects and tests involved in research aren’t always perfect, though. Many times research fails to produce a usable product, but that doesn’t mean it was a waste. Mitchell said researchers use systems like the Defense Technical Information Center to record everything they’ve done, even the failures, so new research in the same area can head in a different, possibly more productive, direction. “You have to have the information on past failures so you can try to get to successes,” he said. “Those gaps identified by the warfighter

more holistic type modalities that minimize pain.” Mitchell said they use other MTFs sometimes as well because they all provide research proposals. They also outsource a lot of research. “The medical community and the research community are much bigger than just the Air Force,” he said. “We have a limited pool of resources, so we make the best decisions possible for those dollars. Sometimes contracting that research out is the best way CSMNG to do it.” A few examples of this type of outsourcing that has led to current testing are cellular toxicity research, which measures how many toxins Airmen are inhaling where they work, and microbubble oxygenation technology, which could be a way to deliver oxygen rapidly to patients that need it in emergency situations. “The transition back to the Air Force is how we gain from that,” he said. “That’s the thing about outsourcing. You may have to help someone else a little bit to bring forward a capability that’s phenomenal.” Mitchell believes there will always be a need for newer and better research in the AFMS. He said the last few years have led to a huge amount of innovations and procedures that didn’t exist before. He said, “Research itself, the need for a clinician or a provider to take better care of their constituency, whether it’s on the battlefield or in the clinic, will drive what we see in the future.” COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP
still remain even when research fails. You have to re-engage.” Mitchell said the majority of the work they do is executed by two platforms — the 711th Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and the 59th Medical Wing, Joint Base San Antonio, Texas. Mitchell said one of the major focuses of research today is transporting patients from one environment to another. “If a service member is injured in Afghanistan, we will take them to Landstuhl (Regional Medical Center). We will transport that person to the United States. We will keep that patient alive and monitor all their vital signs. That ‘care in the air’ piece is our major role.” The 59th Medical Wing focuses on improving en route care and clinical care among other things. Mitchell said they look at everything from diabetes and hearing loss to “research on integrated medicine and

Jack-of-all-trades: Master of most By Philip Carter 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The thermometer reads 10 degrees with light snow falling as Airmen head for work after delayed reporting due to heavy snow the night before. Roads and parking lots are cleared thanks to the Airmen from the 21st Civil Engineering Squadron’s structures shop. The structures shop individuals have a wide range of skill sets which help them excel in their responsibilities at Peterson Air Force Base. Some of the skill sets include: • Locksmith • Masonry • Welding • Carpentry • Sheet rock • Partial concrete • Sheet metal work • Metal fabrication • Duct work “The role of the structures shop is to support every mission on base by maintaining the buildings on Peterson Air Force Base,” said Staff Sgt. Alexander Krussell, 21st CE structural craftsman, “We help other career fields on base so they accomplish their mission.” The steel works section of the shop does field repairs as well as in house repairs. They fix the gates when they get damaged and weld gas lines for the Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning shop. Steelworks Airmen are trained to accomplish any kind of welding. “We do metal inert gas and tungsten inert gas, electro arc welding depending on the type of metal,” said Staff Sgt. Stephen Price 21st CE structural craftsman, “You can’t weld aluminum the same way you would weld steel. Their bonds are not the same.” When an F-16 Thunderbird crashed June 2, 2016, in Colorado Springs, the carpenters were tasked to build the saddles that would be put on the trailer to transport the aircraft to the facility that would house it during the investigation. “We can build anything from the ground up when it comes to carpentry,” said Krussell. “We can build floors, walls, roofs and much more.” The lock smith maintains every lock on the base for every building and every door. When the Thunderbird was moved the lock smith had to go and change every lock in the building to make sure it was secure. The airmen assigned to the structures shops not only work in their areas of expertise, they are cut-trained to help out with other departments in CE. Cut-training is where Airmen are trained in some duties of another career field such as learning how to use heavy equipment. “The dirt boys are another career field in CE that we work closely with,” said Krussell. “They’re operators of heavy machinery and they train us so we’re able to help them.” Airmen from the structures shop were sent to Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station to help with cleanup after a devastating flood and mud slide that left debris up to the main portal of the mountain on September 13, 2013. The shop also helps with snow removal after a heavy snowfall, clearing part of the runway and taxiways, roads and parking lots around the base. One of the more colorful responsibilities that these airmen have is to maintain all the flags on Peterson. They are the ones who puts up the flags along the boulevards across the base during special occasions, some holidays and replace them when damaged. The scope of responsibilities here is the reason CE Airmen are called jack-of-all-trades.

Defending From page 1 The 16th SPCS systems provide a near global ability to monitor, detect, characterize, geolocate and report sources of electromagnetic interference on U.S. military and commercial satellites in direct support of combatant commanders, Johnson said. The UHF Standardized Process for Interference Recognition and Interference Targeting, known as UHF SPIRIT, utilizes antennae locations in the Eastern U.S. and Asia that feed data to the central operating location on Peterson AFB. Johnson said the system is the only nearglobal UHF EMI detection system in the Department of Defense. In addition to UHF SPIRIT, the 16th SPCS has two deployable weapons systems. The systems are the RAIDRS Deployable Ground Segment 0 and Bounty Hunter. The systems are deployed in the Middle East as part of Operation Silent Sentry. The RDGS-0 requires an eight person crew and the Bounty Hunter system has a five person crew, who are deployed on six-month rotations. The systems can “see” and monitor frequencies in the UHF and SHF ranges, said Johnson. Signals are watched and 16th SPCS personnel can zoom in on anomalies to analyze them. “We can tell if a signal is being interfered with and recommend the user move communications, or whatever (is being attacked),” he said. “If it’s an attack we can attempt to use multiple satellites to geolocate the interference.” Many types of equipment can cause interference in the frequencies the 16th SPCS monitors. Things like cell phones, cable TV and most wireless devices operate in the UHF range of 300-3,000 megahertz and SHF range pf 3,000-30,000 megahertz. Besides monitoring the UHF SPIRIT system, the squadron’s facilities on base are used for training and preparing for deployment, said Johnson. “It’s nice to be able to train pre-deployment in a live radio frequency environment,” he said. “And from here we can also support exercises like Red Flag.” The capability to monitor potential interference taking place almost anywhere in the world from its location at Peterson AFB, and deployed locations, make the 16th SPCS a critical element in U.S. forces dominating the high ground.

sonally thank them for what they do, it makes it easier for them to do what they do. It’s a lifelong achievement for me and for them, and they’re going to remember that.” Dumais has personal ties to the military. His older brother Justin, who was his partner at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games in 3-meter synchro, is an F-16 fighter pilot for the South Carolina Air National Guard. Dumais’ uncle and his fiancée’s father were also in the service and he was friends with Chris Kyle, upon whom the movie “American Sniper” was based. Dive into Service is a year-round, two-way exchange program and will subsequently include the other branches of the military. The commitment, training, intensity and pressure-driven nature of military service and top-level athletics provide common ground for participants. “We really sat down and swapped stories and kind of got a feel for what they’ve learned throughout the years and what we’ve learned and how similar it is,” Dorman said. “They all travel the world just like we do and experience different things. The adrenaline rush that you get, it’s a similar mentality. “I think they enjoyed it because they don’t have anybody ever come visit them — ever. They were so excited because we didn’t cancel. They’ve had multiple people cancel because it’s just so hard to get up there.” Greenland is the world’s largest island that is not a continent. It is an autono-

The mission of Thule Air Base, which reports to the 21st SW, is to provide early warning and defense of ballistic missile launches against the United States and southern Canada to the North American Aerospace Defense Command and JCS Command Centers. The 12th Space Warning Squadron also detects and tracks polar orbiting satellites in support of operational space surveillance and space control missions. While on base, Dorman participated in a training scenario. “The computer would alert you — for me it was 58 missiles were incoming,” he said. “You pick up the phone and you have this dialogue to go through, answering a bunch of questions, warning the U.S. we had incoming missiles. “I had no clue what I was doing, of course. I had to do it in less in 60 seconds, and I did it in 42, so basically I saved the world.” They did tour other parts of the base. The divers saw as much as they could during their 25 hours on the ground, although they were in almost constant darkness. “We had 20 minutes of miniscule daylight where we could see stuff,” Dumais said. “You can barely see in front of you, but when that light came out, you could see the iceberg, you could see the hill and the ground. It was phenomenal.” THULE AIR BASE, Greenland – Olympic silver medalist Sam Dorman greets Airmen of the 821st Air Base Group at Thule Air Base, Greenland, Jan. 21, 2017.

How much are you saving? The commissaries are here to help “I am pleased that DeCA can offer significant savings to our patrons on products they frequently purchase,” said Jeu, “The enhanced savings calculation will allow us to measure the benefit more specifically and more often, protecting it at current levels for years to come. The value of a patron’s market basket should not change because of the new savings calculation. Although market fluctuations will cause prices of grocery products to increase and decrease — as they do today — commissary patron savings levels will remain constant.” For more details on the commissary’s new business model, visit the transformation page on DeCA’s website, www. commissaries.com for FAQs.
By DeCA Corporate Communications 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
FORT LEE, Va. — Commissary savings will be reported more often and better reflect the cost of living where patrons shop, said Joseph H. Jeu, director and CEO of the Defense Commissary Agency. “We have updated how we measure patron savings at the commissary,” Jeu said. “This enhanced way of calculating savings doesn’t change the actual dollars that patrons save, but it will give patrons a better understanding of price comparisons in their local area.” Historically, DeCA measured savings globally, by comparing national prices at commissaries against average market prices for the whole country. However, the cost of living varies by region. To account for these geographic differences, Congress now requires DeCA to report on savings regionally, comparing prices with two-to-three commercial grocers, including super centers, in the local area of each commissary in the United States. Through this updated measurement, DeCA is also expanding the range of items on which it measures savings. Besides continuing to compare approximately 38,000 branded items at a national level, DeCA will also be comparing local prices on approximately 1,000 products, which are representative of a shopper’s typical market basket. “What we did before was good for showing a worldwide, annual savings average,” Jeu said. “However, now we are diving deeper into our patrons’ shopping experience to better reflect regional differ-

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Delores Stanley, Peterson Commissary produce manager, educates Team Pete members about the qualities to look for in fresh produce during the Fruits and Veggies – Eat More Tour at the commissary on Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., July 21, 2016. The goal of the tour was to provide a new source for healthy living tips to anyone with Peterson access. ences in cost of living and actual shopping patterns.” Since the savings rate is calculated from local price comparisons, it will vary by region due to differences in the cost of living, even when commissary prices remain uniform and constant. For example: Imagine the price of macaroni is $1.25 at all commissaries, but the comparison price at local commercial retailers varies by region. In Hawaii, where the cost of living is higher, the price of macaroni in commercial retailers is $2, but in Georgia, where the cost of living is lower, the price outside the gate is $1.50.
This would mean even though customers pay $1.25 for macaroni at commissaries worldwide, customers in Hawaii save 37.5 percent by using their commissary benefit, whereas customers in Georgia save 16.7 percent. Congress requires that DeCA maintain savings at current levels, even as the commissary system transforms its business operations and improves the shopping experience. The new savings rate provides an accurate baseline that will allow DeCA and Congress to monitor and protect patron savings.
The Defense Commissary Agency operates a worldwide chain of commissaries providing groceries to military personnel, retirees and their families in a safe and secure shopping environment. Commissaries provide a military benefit and make no profit on the sale of merchandise. Authorized patrons purchase items at cost plus a 5-percent surcharge, which covers the costs of building new commissaries and modernizing existing ones. By shopping regularly in the commissary, patrons save thousands of dollars annually. A core military family support element, and a valued part of military pay and benefits, commissaries contribute to family readiness, enhance the quality of life for America’s military and their families, and help recruit and retain the best and brightest men and women to serve their country.

Don’t let threat of law make you do the right thing By Carrie E. David SMDC/ARSTRAT Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Our political discourse these days has disintegrated to a Cliffs Notes version of graphic-size inflammatory memes that go viral on Facebook and other social media sites with the speed of fire that leaves burned friendships in its wake. As a result, I have seen more threats to unfriend and unfollow people over political differences cross my Facebook news feed since Jan. 20, then I did all throughout 2016 leading up to the November election. Many Department of the Army civilians might be wondering if their die-hard partisan, meme-sharing coworkers are violating the 1939 Hatch Act. Luckily, even if we were still in the election season, the Hatch Act probably would not apply to most of what is being posted. Probably. The Hatch Act is a federal law that limits specific political activities of federal employees, as well as some local, state, and District of Columbia government employees. Before I explain too much, we should understand what political activity means. The Office of Special Counsel defines “political activity” as “any activity directed at the success or failure of a political party or partisan political group (collectively referred to as
(Courtesy graphic)
“partisan groups”), or candidate in a partisan race.” The key takeaway is influence — influencing an election. The Hatch Act defines two types of employees, Less Restricted and Further Restricted. Further Restricted employees are those appointed by the president and generally those in intelligence and enforcement-type agencies such as the Senior Executive Service,
Awards Reception March 16 at Cheyenne Mountain Resort
RSVP at csbj.ticketleap.com
National Security Agency and the Secret Service. For a full list of Further Restricted agencies, visit the Office of Special Counsel Hatch Act website at: https://osc.gov/Pages/ HatchAct.aspx The good news is that as defined by the Hatch Act, most federal employees are considered Less Restricted. This means that federal employees may engage in political
activity, including social media and email, with only a few exceptions. Those exceptions are while on duty, which includes telecommuting; while in the workplace in any federally owned or leased room or building; while wearing a uniform or official insignia; using any federally owned or leased vehicle; or when representing the government in an official capacity. Furthermore, they may not use their official capacity to accept or solicit political contributions for any reason. So, if you share that political meme during an election season, does that violate the Hatch Act? If you are not on duty, not representing the government in an official capacity, not soliciting donations, and you are not a Further Restricted employee, the answer is probably no. If the country is not even in an election season, then the Hatch Act really does not apply at all. Maybe, though, that is not the standard by which one should measure the appropriateness of political memes. Maybe the Army Value of Respect would be a better guidepost as to whether you should share that meme. If we spend a little more time respecting each other’s differences, maybe we could understand each other more, and then we would spend a lot less time offending and hurting each other. Maybe then, there would be fewer threats of unfriending and unfollowing.

Blended Retirement System Opt-In training now available to all Airmen By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — The Department of Defense will implement the new Blended Retirement System in less than a year. While no one needs to make a decision until Jan. 1, 2018, all Airmen should take advantage of training and informational resources to research their options during 2017. Airmen eligible for the new Blended Retirement System will begin receiving email notifications in February from myPers to ensure they receive correct information regarding their benefits to make the decision best suited for their individual needs. The Opt-In course is designed to provide sufficient information for eligible Airmen to make an educated decision about their retirement system. However, Airmen are highly encouraged to discuss their personal situations with a personal financial counselor at the Airman and Family Readiness Center. The training (course number J3OPUS1332) is now available via Joint Knowledge Online and takes approximately two hours to complete. Only those active Airmen who, as of Dec. 31, 2017, have served fewer than 12 years, or reserve Airmen who have accrued fewer than 4,320 retirement points, will have the option of electing BRS or remaining in the legacy retirement system. These Airmen will be required to take the Opt-In training and should provide a copy of the JKO training certificate to their Unit Training Manager upon completion. The Air Force recommends BRS training for all Airmen and encourages them to take
(Department of Defense graphic)
either the Opt-In course or the BRS Leader Training on JKO (course number J3OPUS1330). Many leaders may not be eligible to opt-in to BRS themselves, but still need to be knowledgeable about the new system to understand what their junior Airmen should know as they prepare to make their decisions

in 2018. The Leader training course is also available to those without a Common Access Card — to include family members — via an alternate website. BRS information is continuously updated on myPers. Click “Retirement” from any military landing page. In addition, a live chat

Goldfein described space as a warfighting domain, and said the Air Force is responsible for 90 percent of the Department of Defense’s space assets. The Airmen responsible for securing these assets hold tremendous responsibility.
“Only when we think about and talk about space in the same way we talk about operations in the air, on land, at sea or in cyber will we move in the direction of truly integrating space across all warfighting domains,” Goldfein said. “Because the opposite of integration is separation which moves us in exactly the wrong direction as a joint team.” Goldfein shared anecdotes from his recent trip to California where he met with Airmen and leadership from Vandenberg and Los Angeles Air Force Bases. Overall, the general said he was in awe of the Air Force’s space warrior and proud of the achievements made thus far. “I don’t think anyone would trade our space capabilities with any other nation on the planet,” Goldfein said. “And we
have achieved this with our industry partners despite eight years of continuing resolutions and single-year budgets we are forced to execute in the last half of every year. “While we’re doing great things in space, there is always room to get better, and we can never get complacent in this domain which remains a harsh and unforgiving environment,” Goldfein continued. The CSAF wants to focus future discussions on how to provide ready space forces to combatant commanders, how the U.S. builds and issues space policy and strategic guidance, and an acquisition strategy. “(Space) has been our business since 1954 and I hope it will be so through 2054,” Goldfein said.
Healthy lifestyle leads to healthy heart By J.D. Levite Air Force Surgeon General Public Affairs
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Medical experts say there are plenty of things Airmen can do to ensure a healthy heart, including quitting smoking and not drinking too much. Heart disease, heart attack, and stroke are just some of the consequences of not taking care of your heart. To take care of your heart, physical activity, smarter nutritional diet choices and mindfulness are three key actions everyone can take, according to Capt. Regan Stiegmann, a Preventive Medicine resident physician at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. She said Airmen need to hone in on “more functional and more impactful” changes that lead to a healthier diet. “It’s the ‘crawl before you walk’ approach,” Stiegmann said. “I’m not saying you should make extremely drastic changes like to stop eating meat entire or stop eating dairy period. The more successful approach I’ve found is one small change at a time. Whether that change has to do with food choices, physical activity, or stress management, you start seeing the changes in your patients, and they start seeing how much that change impacts them.” One small change Stiegmann said Airmen can do is to reduce the amount of processed foods and refined sugars they eat.

“Too much processed food and excess sugar leads to inflammation, which is the underpinning of most diseases including heart disease,” Stiegmann said. She added physical activity can address that state of inflammation, too. “When you’re physically active you’re circulating more blood and oxygen to your muscles and encouraging new growth in your cells.” She said it’s not just about your cells but about the heart as well. “You’re creating strength in your heart muscles and your physical muscles, which is creating lean mass and helping to contribute to a general state of healthier wellbeing overall.” Regular physical activity contributes
not just to a healthier body weight but to healthier cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and a better sense of wellbeing in general. Mindfulness, the third focus for good heart health, is all about how to manage stress in a smart way. “Everybody has some element of stress in their life, and stress absolutely influences and impacts your body,” Stiegmann said. “Mindfulness helps reframe the way you approach the stressors you encounter, which in turn helps to reduce the amount of impact that stress can cause to your cells. Many people don’t know that stress can lead to states of inflammation.” Finding small ways to improve each of these lifestyle-specific elements is im-
portant because poor heart health has been linked to many other health issues, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and long-term heart disease.. “It’s like a snowball effect when you start dealing with heart health because your heart is connected so intimately with everything else,” Stiegmann said. “Your number one and number two go-to organs are your heart and your brain. They are in a symbiotic loop, and the rest of your body is tied to that. When your heart stops working as properly as it should that ties to every other organ system in your body.” Stiegmann said a doctor’s visit can help Airmen learn their risks for heart disease and how to stem those risks, particularly with changes in everyday activities. She also recommended lifestyle medicine providers who can help Airmen address all the elements related to heart health: what you eat, physical activity, mental health, the importance of quality sleep, and how to maintain a good relationship with stress. “Every one of those lifestyle elements you can work on, improve, and ultimately see changes in your own personal health,” she said. “Each small improvement sets you up to succeed in avoiding long-term chronic disease.” Men and women tend to make different choices when it comes to heart health, but everyone can benefit from improved lifestyle choices.
