As a child, Col. Robyn Slade, 50th Space Wing senior individual mobilization augmentee to the commander, never imagined she would make the U.S. Air Force her life-long career. Growing up in the outskirts of Detroit, Slade was the youngest of three children. From an early age, her parents provided her with a stable foundation and inspiration to shoot for her dreams, no matter what the obstacle may be. “I learned about hard work from my parents,” Slade said. “My dad started his own company and worked really hard to establish his business, and my mom went back to nursing school when I started kindergarten. They were both good examples of setting your mind to something and getting it done.” Even though she never envisioned herself in the military, Slade had the opportunity to attend college on an Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship. She graduated from Boston University in 1987 and started her Air Force career shortly after. Slade’s first assignment took her to Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, as a public affairs officer and chief of media relations. “I loved being in that role and fell in love with the mission,” she said. “I always enjoyed being out on the flightline, and going on deployments and exercises.” Slade spent two years as a public affairs officer, but had dreams to fly. “One day, one of the squadron
commanders I knew, said to me, ‘If this is what you really like, you should apply for pilot training.’ So I did.” Initially, Slade did not meet the pilot training board, but this not deter her from pursuing her dream. “When I didn’t meet the board, they gave me advice to earn my private pilot’s license in order to demonstrate that I had the skills,” she said. Six months later, after earning her license, she was picked up on the board and went on to complete undergraduate pilot training. “What drew me to it was the mission,” Slade said. “I really like to see the mission get done and I know there are a lot of ways to do that; however, it’s really interesting when you fly. There’s always different challenges that come up. I enjoyed being able to do that.” Her career as a pilot took her to several bases such as Sawyer Air Force Base, Michigan, Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota and McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. Becoming an officer and pilot was the beginning of a career that would take her to an array of assignments, which includes being a KC-135 aircraft commander, 21st Air Force assistant chief of training and deputy chief of staff for operations, plans and requirements at Headquarters Air Force. After 14 years of serving on active duty and having her second child, Slade made the decision to join the Air Force Reserve. She joined a reserve unit closest to her hometown, which was

Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan. “Robyn is an incredible officer, wife and mother,” said Col. Stephen Slade, 310th Operations Group commander. “She is living proof that you can have a very successful career and family life. When we had our first child, she realized she wanted to be a mom,
but also had a desire to continue serving. Joining the reserve allowed her to continue flying and raise our children.” While many assignments are memorable for her, there’s one in particular that stands out above the rest. See Service page 8

SFS Airmen commemorate Police Week By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
For the 50th Security Forces Squadron and the thousands of uniformed police officers throughout the country who put their lives on the line every day, Police Week is a time for reflection on service and sacrifice. Wearing “thin blue line” bracelets; which symbolize the unity of law enforcement personnel as sisters and brothers and their roles in society standing as a thin blue line protecting the community, 50 SFS Airmen spent the week engaging in shooting competitions, combative courses, a golf tournament and other competitions in recognition. “Police week is great, as all officers need to be recognized,” said Airman 1st Class Mackenzie Gewirtz, 50 SFS. “It shows the public what we do to keep them safe.” The week also allowed officers to show their human side. “We want them to see what we do; See Police Week page 10
(U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class William Tracy)
Police week furthers the 50th Space Wing’s priority of advancing professionalism and infrastructure to enable mission performance by dedicating a week to recognizing and commemorating the service of 50th Security Forces Squadron Airmen and the service of all uniformed officers and responders.

tiquity. The Athenian statesman and general, Pericles, offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War, which took place over 24 centuries ago and could be applied to the millions of service members who have died in our nation’s wars. “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not in stone but in the hearts of men.” We as a nation too often forget our past… we forget what it took to obtain, maintain and retain the liberties we so often take for granted today. From the beginning of the shots fired at the British at Lexington, Massachusetts, the War of 1812, Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War to the conflicts we are involved in today, men and women from the United States have given their lives to maintain the liberties we have enjoyed for more than 240 years and in many ways

given the freedom of choice to those countries we fought for and with. One of my favorite quotes was from President John F. Kennedy. “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Today, too many times the commercialization of our holidays surpasses the holiday’s meaning, and it’s truly sad. I even get caught up in the hoopla of sales events tied to this holiday until I take a step back and remember why we created these holidays. I challenge you, on each and every holiday, regardless of your beliefs and opinions to take the time and remember, research, read and understand the meanings of why these holidays exist. Take the time to share that with your friends, peers, brothers, sisters, and children and let us not forget. Since my article’s title is about Memorial Day, I leave you with the words that go with Taps, written by Major General Daniel Butterfield: Day is done... Gone the sun From the lake... From the hills... From the sky. All is well... Safely rest God is nigh. Fading light.... Dims the sight And a star.... Gems the sky.... Gleaming bright From afar....

Cyber upgrade nears completion 50th Space Communications Squadron
With the primary installation complete, the contractor will begin migrating users to the more secure network in the coming weeks. “The migration will occur in segments, in different areas during the next several weeks,” Mclean said. “We’re coordinating with facility managers to ensure weekend and evening area access, with our goal of reducing the impact on the user and the mission.” During the migration, users may experience service interruptions such as loss of network connectivity for one to two hours. These interruptions will be localized based on the actual communications room being migrated. Network
The 50th Space Communications Squadron is starting the final phase of a year-long infrastructure upgrade that will provide users a faster and more secure network capability. The squadron executed the Base Information Transport Infrastructure Initiative that included replacing unclassified switches and routers, as well as outside-plant fiber optic cables and ducts, in more than 100 locations around Schriever. “This communications project provides more capable and efficient IT infrastructure,” said Marvin McLean, Schriever BITI Project Manager. “Both Air Force security and the network’s end-user benefit from this transition.”

advisories will be sent to facility mangers prior to the migration so users can plan accordingly. The user migration is expected to last through July. “The Air Force spent $10 million dollars to upgrade the infrastructure at Holloman and Schriever Air Force Bases and the U.S. Air Force Academy,” said Wardell Adams, 50 SCS chief of plans and resources. “Very soon, we’ll have a network infrastructure providing a more secure system that can sustain us far down the road.” For more information about this effort, please contact McLean at 567-6662.
Answer to last week’s question: In July 1975, the wing’s 10th Tactical Fighter Squadron added what advanced weapon to its arsenal? The 10th added the AGM-65 Maverick Electro-Optical missile to its inventory. This week’s question: What current 50th Space Wing squadron activated on Jan. 16, 1962, but was not organized until Feb. 1, 1962? With detachments around the world, the squadron operated SPACETRACK, the U.S. Air Force globe-spanning space surveillance network, from 1962 to 1967.
Chief’s Corner Week of May 25
By Senior Master Sgt. Amy Young 50th Contracting Squadron superintendent
There is such thing as a “late bloomer.” I lived it. It wasn’t until I was a Tech Sgt. I fell under a supervisor who taught me I was in control of my career. Before, I depended on others to value my success. I was lucky along the way to have great supervisors, but to really understand my Air Force future depended on me, came much later in my career.
With High Year Tenure dates changed and the Enlisted Evaluation System process different from when I was coming up the ranks, I often wonder if I would have survived today’s Air Force. I tested several times on every stripe (some stripes more than others) and not all of my Enlisted personnel reports were “firewall 5’s.” Not all of them were 5’s period. I forced earlier mentors and supervisors to look deep for my potential. And, I am so thankful they did.
So what does my story have to do with you. If you are a supervisor/mentor don’t overlook what others may have written off. Take the time to develop a rock star. I can’t think of anything more rewarding than finding that diamond in the rough. If you are the late bloomer, don’t depend on someone else to find your potential.

CGO leads first Schriever transgender panel By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Schriever members gathered for a Company Grade Officers’ Council transgender panel May 17. Former Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter announced June 30, 2016, that transgender service members would be able to openly serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. However, the policy for accepting new troops is scheduled to be developed and phased in this year. “The purpose of this was to have an open forum discussion on the transgender policy,” said 1st Lt. Lindsay Winningham, 50th Operations Support Squadron intel representative. “There are a lot of burning questions here at Schriever regarding that. This was our chance to use the CGOC to help out in answering those policy questions and scoping it out even further to any general questions that they had.” Panel members included: Capt. Robert Fuller, 50th Space Wing assistant staff judge advocate; 1st Lt. Zachary Hornberger, military personnel section chief; Capt. Christopher Noullet, 21st Medical Operations Squadron; Mary Malia, Inside/Out Youth Services executive director; and Shari Zabel, Springs Equality chief executive officer. “This is really new to a lot of people and after seeing it on the news, they want to know how it’s going to affect their workspace environment and those they work with,” said Capt. Nathaniel Lee, 50th Operations group executive officer. “Giving them the opportunity to hear right from these services that are there for Airmen, provided a great opportunity to ask questions.” Panel attendees asked questions and voiced concerns regarding issues transgender military members face such as updating their Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System information, physical fitness standards, uniform requirements and the transitional stages.

Col. Anthony Mastalir, 50th Space Wing vice wing commander, speaks to Airmen attending the Company Grade Officers’ Council transgender panel at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Wednesday, May 17, 2017. The discussion highlighted obstacles transgender service members face.
According to Department of Defense Instruction 1300.28 In Service Transition for Transgender Service Members, “gender transition begins when a service member receives a diagnosis from a military medical provider indicating gender transition is medically necessary; it concludes when the service member’s gender marker in DEERS is changed and the member is recognized in the preferred gender. At that point, the service member will be responsible for meeting all applicable military standards in the preferred gender, and as to facilities subject to regulation by the military, will use those berthing, bathroom, and shower facilities
associated with the preferred gender.” The panel made a point to emphasize the policy would not impact mission readiness. “From a transgender person’s perspective who served in the military, both the military and the transgender service member will have to be communicating and working together on any issues,” said Zabel. “The transitional process is three to five years, however the transgender member is still able to deploy. Each stage takes time during the process, but many of them would still allow one to go about their normal lives. What’s important to remember is if someone is going through the process, it doesn’t mean the
Look, Mom, both hands.
member is disqualified from deployment for all those transitional years.” Schriever Airmen were informed that more learning opportunities, education and efforts are needed for the discussion beyond this particular panel. “Our core values are very clear; and they are not consistent with discrimination of any kind,” Lee said. “If anyone feels they are being discriminated against in any way, it is important to know the Air Force is here to support them. Fortunately, this is now a Department of Defense policy; that was a long time coming. It is comforting for all of us to know that the DOD has their back.”

Service From page 1 “Between 2008 and 2011, I worked on the Joint Staff,” Slade said. “Everybody there was so focused on making sure that the warfighter had everything they needed. We made sure we sent the right people to the right place and that they had the equipment they needed. It was interesting to work directly for the chairman and to know what his vision was and see things get done so quickly. That meant so much to me to have that opportunity.” Throughout the years, Slade said one of her biggest inspirations was, and still is, her husband. “It’s almost like my husband and I grew up together in the Air Force,” she said. “It’s been amazing to have someone who understands what you do and can share things with. I really trust his judgement and have benefitted from that.” Their concurrent service could lead some to be competitive. “Serving with Robyn has been incredible,” Stephen said. “She is a magnificent mentor and wingman who has always been willing to provide help and guidance so others could be successful. Additionally, her drive and passion for service has motivated people to excellence. I have always been in awe of her professional qualities and realized early on that I could never compete with her, rather I’ve been willing to just try and keep up.” She continues to leave an impact on those she has worked with, including 1st Lt. Michael Brifneck, chief, Commander’s Action Group. “Colonel Slade has been awesome to work alongside with”, he said. “We’ve talked about her career, as well as mine. I hope to work at the Pentagon one day; I think a lot of that has to do with her positive comments about her time spent there. I definitely wish she was staying at the wing for a longer time. She will be missed.” After 30 years of service in the Air Force, Slade is retiring June 1 and her ceremony took place May 23. With vast knowledge and experience under her belt, Slade has sound advice for Airmen just starting their careers. “The most important thing is to focus on the job you have now, and be good at it,” she said. “If you see opportunities that you would like to have, go for it. Always believe that what you want to do is in your reach.” With only a couple of days to go before Slade closes this chapter in her Air Force story, she reflected back on her career and achievements. “I never thought I would spend my whole life serving in the Air Force,” she said. “I could never have dreamed of all the places I’ve been and all the things I’ve done. It seemed like I always got back more than I gave. Everything good I have now, came from the Air Force.”

Police Week From page 1 we don’t just write tickets,” laughed Airman 1st Class Ayanna Winters, 50 SFS. “It’s hard to explain, but we get each other; we’re like a family and we want others to see we aren’t just there as a bad sign.” The week was a much needed break for Security Forces Airmen to pat themselves on the back, said Senior Master Sgt. Bradley Krause, 50 SFS operations superintendent; a Security Forces defender in the reserves and a Colorado Springs police officer. Krause has seen many changes during his 20-year career in law enforcement, particularly after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. “Before 9/11, we used to wave people on base, now we stop you,” Krause said. “People sometimes forget why we have security measures in place - what happened and what can again happen.” Krause said while the bulk of Security Forces work on base can be classed as proactive, it is the reactive situations, especially in deployed environments, that challenge all SFS Airmen. “Our defenders work extremely hard, in long shifts, and they usually do it with smiles on their faces,” he said. “If something came up, you’d be surprised how fast and how disciplined they will treat the situation.” Lt. Col. Michael Speck, 50 SFS commander, said Police Week is a chance to inform the community that law enforcement personnel they are more than just a uniform. “It’s important to recognize the tough job that police officers do every day,” Speck said. “People forget that police officers are not just transplanted in our society, they are part of it, and are not to be shied away from. Police week is important here at Schriever as it is a way to acknowledge we are people.” The week concluded with an Officer Memorial Day ceremony hosted at New Life Church, Colorado Springs. The 50 SFS’s own Airman 1st Class Marissa Pederson spoke during the flag folding ceremony, explaining each fold’s symbolism in front of a wreath dedicated to fallen officers. It was there 50 SFS Airmen, SF Airmen from other bases and a collective ensemble of local uniformed police and emergency responders congregated in recognition of

the service and sacrifice. Krause stressed the importance of Security Forces’ and law enforcement officers’ roles, highlighting the vital work they put in, risking their lives for the protection of others. “The week helps raise awareness of what we do, and our
role in society,” Krause said. “Sometimes people get tunnel vision; they go to their job, card themselves through the gate and may not even realize what that Airmen on the other side are doing for you. This week was to say ‘thank you for all you do.’”

Senior leaders discuss US space posture By Staff Sgt. Alyssa C. Gibson Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
On May 17, Air Force senior leaders testified before the Senate Armed Service Committee Strategic Forces subcommittee on military space, organization, policy and programs. Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein, Gen. John Raymond, the Air Force Space Command commander and Lt. Gen. Samuel Greaves, the Space and Missile Systems Center commander, answered questions about the Air Forces current space capabilities and those needed for the future. The team presented the senators with information as to the departments plan for acquiring future and updated space systems to meet the evolution of space as a warfighting domain. “It’s obvious, but it’s probably worth repeating, that the U.S. is heavily dependent on space, and (our adversaries) know it is a vulnerability,” Wilson said. “In any conflict, space will be contested and we haven’t always assumed that in the past. There’s been a change in culture, a change in planning and training going on in the United States military because we cannot take space dominance for granted. While there is a lot more to do, I’ve been initially pleased by some of the things I see and what the Air Force is doing to improve training, to identify gaps and to experiment with new concepts of operations. Particularly in the last 18-24 months, there’s a great deal that is going on with respect to addressing the needs of the nation to be able to prevail in space.” More than 80 percent of the Defense Department’s space actions are handled by the Air Force, and the service views space as one of its core missions. “Space superiority, like air superiority, is not an American birthright, it requires vigilance and action,” Goldfein said. “We have many more steps ahead of us, but America’s Airmen remain committed to evolving our space organization, strategy, requirements, architecture and forces to adapt and ensure we gain and maintain space superiority.” The Air Force has built upon 60 years of space operations by normalizing, integrating and elevating space, and streamlining decision-making for the enterprise. Currently, the Air Force is in a strategic shift from treating space as a benign domain from which the service monitors, senses and reports, to a warfighting domain in which it would fight should a war start or extend into space. According to Goldfein, the DOD and the Air Force are focused on four key areas within the space enterprise. First,

Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, center, and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein, to her right, testify before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces May 17, 2017, in Washington, D.C. With Wilson and Goldfein were Lt. Gen. Samuel Greaves, the Space and Missile Systems Center commander; Gen. John Raymond, the Air Force Space Command commander and Cristina Chapin, the General Accounting Office director of acquisition and sourcing management. The committee examined military space organization, policy, and programs.
solid strategy and policy must be in place for the Joint Chiefs of Staff to act upon. Next, the strategy and policy must be derived into a warfighting concept of operations that not only focuses on joint warfighting, but also integrates space across each warfighting domain. From the concept of operations comes solid acquisition requirements. “We have to acquire at a pace that allows us to be faster than our adversaries who are all investing in ways to take away our advantage,” Goldfein said. “And the final element is how to organize, train, equip and present ready forces so the combatant commander can fight should a war extend into space.” According to the AFSPC commander, space must be on
the same level of acquisition decision authority with deliberate oversight of execution as each of the other warfighting domains. “Operationally, we are very sound, we’re the worlds best space forces, and that shouldn’t be lost to anybody,” Raymond said. “I do think though should the domain become a contested domain, we have to have the ability to move fast. And that’s been one of my focuses to make sure we have the operational policies, processes and procedures, and the acquisition capabilities to move fast.” This was Wilsons first Congressional hearing since swearing in as the 24th Secretary of the Air Force.

FSS launches website By 2nd Lt Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Beginning this month, the 50th Force Support Squadron gave the gift of a onestop-shop of information, events and more for Team Schriever and their families. The 50 FSS website, www.50fss.com, is officially active and composed of several sections important to base personnel and families. “We wanted to make the website easy to navigate. That way, anyone can get to where they need to go and what they need to know,” said Jennifer Stark, 50 FSS marketing director. “If they can do that, then we’re pretty happy.” The sections are broken into easily accessible tabs that include: Child Development Center, School Age Care, Outdoor Recreation, Information Tickets and Travel, Fitness, Framing, New Boston ODR, Airman and Family Readiness Center, People and Personnel, and Marketing. Each section features a description, location, contact information, as well as links to pertinent references to enable a solid understanding of the section, and a person to speak with if they have any questions or need to engage. “It’s not going to be an interactive site; it wouldn’t be where people could make reservations or fill out any forms, but it would give you all the information you need to make the reservations or fill out forms through the proper avenues,” Stark said. For example, if someone visiting the site were to select the section for “People and Personnel,” the page would contain information on the Military Personnel Section’s location, hours of operation, points of contact, as well as instructions on the services they provide. It is a useful tool, not only the

personnel utilizing it, but to the members working within the MPS. “The development of the 50 FSS website is a great addition to our available resources,” said 1st Lt. Zachary Hornberger, MPS chief. “The customer base of the 50 Force Support Squadron includes all installation employees, retired service members and their families. This new website allows us to build better avenues of communication and ensure that
people know about the programs and services our teams work diligently to provide.” Despite the wealth of information the 50 FSS website contains in the early stages, Stark made clear that FSS will continue to work hard to ensure the website is continuously improving. One such project is the website’s calendar feature. “My favorite part we’re working on integrating, it’s not perfect yet, would be our
calendar service,” Stark said. “Information and dates of events can be very difficult to put into the hands of our Schriever personnel. Putting our content in one location, for us, will be the most exciting part; this will hopefully consolidate our communication resources. “I really think us even having an FSS website as a way to reach people is exciting,” she said.

The Murph: New champions crowned By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Beginning at 6 a.m. Friday, 10 Team Schriever members gathered for the annual fitness challenge, The Murph. The competition is in honor of U.S. Navy Lt. Michael Murphy, who created the workout (which consists of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 body squats, followed by another 1-mile run) and who was killed in action on June 28, 2005 while serving in Afghanistan. The goal is to finish the competition in an hour or less, and participants are able to complete the calisthenics in any order they choose. According to Seth Cannello, 50th Force Support Squadron, 18 people registered, but only 10 participated due to cancellations and no shows. For the first time in eight years, a new male took first place: Michael Morris, 2nd Space Operations Squadron. Morris finished with a time of 34:40; followed by Matthew Cork, 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron, with a time of 36:24 and Brady Weaver, 50th Operations Support Squadron, came in third with a time of 39:36. Morris participated in The Murph in 2015, and felt he did pretty well in this year’s competition. “I had just finished up Season 4 of ‘Vikings’ the night before so I was pretty amped going into the competition. It’s great to see the Fitness Center promote such a grueling and worthwhile workout. Hopefully it continues to garner attention as a Memorial Day tradition,” said Morris. Cork said the competition was incredibly difficult, but “working hard for an awesome cause was really incredible.” Cork chose to do the work out on his own, and got allotted a slot at 10 a.m. “It was nice because I got to operate at my own pace, but it was also hard because I got to operate at my own pace, and there was no one around me to compare to,” Cork said. When asked what his favorite part of the competition was, Cork said finishing. “By the end of it you just have jelly legs and you’re really just trying to gut it out,” he said. Ana Shockey, 50th Security Forces Squadron’s earned her first Murph win of the year with a time of 41:35. Genelle Martinez, NSDC, finished second with a time of 46:08. “I did better than expected,” said Shockey. “The worst part was the run. I’m not bad at running.” Shockey will participate in another Murph competition on Memorial Day at her local gym with her plate carrier. For more information about upcoming fitness events, contact the fitness center at 567-6628.

First Term Airmen Courses receive curriculum overhaul By Profession of Arms Center of Excellence The Air Force has rolled out a new First Term Airmen Course dedicated to developing Airmen as next-generation leaders. Airmen straight out of technical training will take the next step in their professional development when they attend the newly revamped FTAC at their assigned installation. The first installation to teach the course is Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland and all other installations will launch the new course by June. Headquarters Air Force Manpower, Personnel and Services, the Air Force Personnel Center, and the Profession of Arms Center of Excellence, partnered to revitalize the FTAC, taking it from an in-processing focused program to a standard curriculum across the Air Force. The courses were designed to provide a structured program to transition Airmen from a training environment to a missionoriented environment. However, most are currently focused on base in-processing. The new course is a continuation of the training Airmen received at Basic Military Training and in technical training, building upon the skills they’ve already been introduced. A comprehensive review of FTAC was completed over the course of three months at the direction of the former Air Force chief of staff. The FTAC will now incorporate new lessons, known as “Airmanship 300,” as part of the continuum of training. Airmanship 100, commonly referred to as Airmen’s Week, is taught immediately following BMT, and Airmanship 200 is taught at technical training. The evolution of professional development includes Airmanship 300 in FTAC, with Airmanship 400 and 500 projected to be developed for the NCO and Senior NCO Professional Enhancement Courses. The courses are designed to ensure Airmen receive deliberate development at every milestone in their careers. According to Senior Master Sgt. Tonya Joyce, the career field manager for career assistance advisors at AFPC, “We have an opportunity to create a continuum of professional development by introducing

Staff Sgt. Mitchell Gorham, the First Term Airmen Course team lead at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, participates a Career Assistance Advisor training course, Nov. 30, 2016, for the newly redesigned First Term Airmen Course. The course revamped FTAC from an in-processing focused program to a standard curriculum focused on developing Airmen.
Airmanship into the courses delivered by our installation career assistance advisors.” The new course includes modules from the existing Enhancing Human Capital course that many senior Air Force leaders are currently attending. These modules include discussions about trust, loyalty and commitment, in-group behavioral psychology and a team-building exercise. In addition to the EHC modules, Airmen will be introduced to scenarios as part of the “What Now Airman?” series and will be guided through discussions on how to approach the potential
Why I Wear the Uniform By Airman 1st Class William Cummings When I was younger, I would wait for my dad to get home from work. I always remember how good he looked in his uniform when he walked through the door at the end of the day. As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to wear the same uniform as him. I was too young to understand what it stood for or why he put it on every day, but I knew it was something special and I wanted to be a part of it. As I grew older, I started to see it was not as simple as funny green clothes my father and his friends wore every day. It stood for commitment, dedication and sacrifice. It told the world you were America’s elite, and ready to fight for your country and family if need be. Once I understood that, I wanted to be sure I would wear it one day. Understanding what it stands for is one thing, but feeling it is another. Back in 2012 I met an amazing woman who would later become my wife. She became my entire world and I wanted nothing but the best for her. That was the final push I needed to put on the Air Force uniform for the first time. Wearing it gave me a pride I had never felt before. I was following a lifelong dream and taking care of the woman I loved at the same time. Why do I wear the uniform? I wear it to feel pride, to know I am part of something bigger than myself, to be able to defend the country when its people cannot fight for themselves. I wear it to proceed with what my father and grandfather started, but most of all I wear it for my wife, because I would not trust anyone else to protect her.
ethical dilemmas. While new curriculum is introduced into the FTAC, many core topics currently taught will still be covered and the course length will remain at five duty days. “We need to focus on developing the next generation of enlisted leaders,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright. “This starts in basic training, but has to be deliberate and continuous throughout an Airman’s career. These courses are the next step in the evolution of professional development for our enlisted force.”
To prepare CAAs for this new curriculum, PACE has added four days to the current six-day CAA training course. Additionally, four CAA training courses were held from January through March and an FTAC beta course covering the new material was held from December 2016 through May 2017. For more information regarding Airmanship 300, please contact the Profession of Arms Center of Excellence at AETC.PACE.ProjectMgtWorkflow@us.af. mil.
