1st Space Operations Squadron Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness and Space Based Space Surveillance crews operate satellite vehicles in the new, combined ops ﬂoor at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado Friday, April 28, 2017. This marked the first time space situational awareness operations were brought together into one ops ﬂoor, Mod 9.

By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

The 1st Space Operations Squadron combined its Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness and Space Based Space Surveillance ops floors, which became fully functional April 20. Discussions for the project began in June 2014 with the vision of increasing communication and improving operational techniques. “Although the two ops floors were doing very similar parts of the space situational

data crossflows between GSSAP and SBSS systems. Once the squadron met all the necessary requirements to start the project, 1 SOPS members and the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron teamed up for the demolition process in October 2016. Staff Sgt. Shawn Tierney, 1 SOPS cyber transport technician, played a critical role in the construction phase. See Mission page 6

awareness mission, they weren’t communicating with each other in that point in time,” said Maj. Jennifer Kaiser, 1 SOPS mission assurance director. “Col. Toby Doran, who was the squadron commander at the time, decided there was a need to unify the ops floors to gain more operational synergy for a better chance for tactics, techniques and procedures development and better cross utilization of data.” Lt. Col. Casey Beard, current 1 SOPS commander, expanded on this vision and added

For Schriever service members — such as Airman Snuff y, fresh out of tech school on his/her first assignment here at Schriever — who may be having a hard time adjusting to the military lifestyle, or may have problems at the workplace, at home or with a relationship, or just needs someone to talk to — what are their options? Luckily for Airman Snuff y and others, there are a wealth of ways to seek counseling for help with the struggles of their daily lives. “We can all use advice and guidance about life situations, life can be hard, and it never hurts to seek support,” said Katie Civiletto, Give an Hour program specialist. Give an

Hour is a counseling program, which provides military members, veterans, and their loved ones free therapeutic services in person, on the phone and through video. “Counseling helps individuals achieve a greater level of mental fitness helping improve their performance in their workplace and in their domestic life,” she said. There are a variety of free counseling services available to military members; all they have to do is seek their services, said Jessica Schroeder, Schriever community support coordinator. “One of the strongest things you can do is ask for help,” said Schroeder. Military counseling programs aren’t just limited to base installations either, said Schroeder.

“We have counseling options completely outside the Department of Defense within the Colorado Springs community,” she said. “There are also options you can access online and other means. Some, like military and family life counselors, can meet you at a predefined locations.” Schroeder says some may be apprehensive about seeking counseling services, but the benefits of dealing with problems are more preferable to keeping them sealed away untreated, with the possibility of causing problems in the future. “Counseling offers us the ability to address issues, rather than let them remain,” she said. “It’s better to not let them get pent up.” See Community page 17

50th Space Wing

As first sergeants we see many Air Force Instruction violations, especially regarding dress and appearance standards. As Air Force members, we are all responsible for assisting others if they are in violation. We have all been there, but I wanted to take a moment to add some food for thought. We see Airmen every day who are not complying with standards. In our line of work, the inherent importance of our mission requires us to be able to follow instructions and make the right choices. The best way I’ve heard this described is being “all in.” Being “all in” isn’t a new phrase, but it’s a good way to describe your level of commitment to anything in your life, or in this case the Air Force. Are you “all in” or are you planning to just slide by doing as little as you can?

For example AFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance, isn’t up to the individual’s interpretation. In recent days, one of the first sergeants corrected an individual whose hair was out of regulations. Instead of acknowledging the error and correcting the problem at the earliest opportunity, the individual began a debate on the interpretation of the regulation. If any interpretation is warranted, the unit commander has the final say, but if your hair needs the unit commander’s weigh in, you are not “all in.” Becoming “all in,” in a way, means you leave the person you were behind and become a better “you” as part of something bigger than yourself. If you define yourself with your hair instead of your uniform, maybe you belong elsewhere. We all made a commitment to the Air Force but if your level of commitment can be measured by your hair cut, you may not be “all in.”

Schriever motorcyclists gather before embarking on a motorcycle mentorship ride during the 50th Space Wing Safety office’s traffic safety week at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Friday, April 28, 2017. Before embarking on their journey, group lessons were held to cover proper riding measures such as merging techniques, what to do around large vehicles like semi-trucks, hand signals and how to ride in a group formation.

Traffic Safety week concludes By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

The 50th Space Wing Safety office spent a week engaging with Schriever Airmen and highlighting traffic safety awareness during traffic safety week April 25-28. Safety personnel conducted seatbelt checks, car seat inspections and a mentorship ride in order to make the base more aware of practicing safe driving. “We went around the base to make sure our community was practicing safe driving methods,” said Staff Sgt. Morris Thomas, 50th Space Wing Safety office occupational safety manager. “We observed a good safety culture; those who were in violation were compliant. We had a good sense of understanding throughout the base.” At the beginning and end of the week, Thomas and Schriever Fire Department personnel conducted car seat checks at the Child Development Center, making sure children’s car seats were within regulations. Matthew Rosenbaum, Schriever Fire Department fire inspector, who conducted the checks said he noticed some

issues, such as over-restraining car seats with a seatbelt; however, he saw improvement from last year. “Most folks had car seats installed properly and were fairly well educated,” he said. “Making sure kids are safe is always a top priority.” Mid-week, Thomas and first sergeants gathered at the front gates to make sure drivers were wearing seatbelts and to give in-person advice to Schriever Airmen. “Personnel set up in high traffic areas on base, such as Falcon Parkway, and double checked drivers were wearing seatbelts and not engaging in distracted driving,” said Thomas. “Out of around a thousand vehicles, we only noticed about four or five people, so I believe people are getting the message.” Schriever motorcyclists gathered for a mentorship ride to Canon City, Colorado, Friday morning with instructors imparting knowledge through lessons taught before the journey. The group lessons covered proper techniques for merging onto a lane, what to do around large vehicles such as semitrucks, hand signals and how to ride in a group formation.

“A misconception a lot of motorcyclists have is that they are invincible on the road,” said Staff Sgt. Rolando Marroquin, mentorship ride instructor. “We make sure our riders are prepared before they go out on the road; teaching them safe practices and applying safe riding measures.” Thomas said this year’s traffic safety week was a continuation of the success from the year before, with less safety violations in general. “There’s always room to improve; next year I would like to do more and smaller events spread out, instead of just limited to one week,” said Thomas. “Overall, I think things went well.” While not everyone will hear the message, making just one person more aware of safe driving can help save lives, Thomas said. “Traffic safety is not just something to be aware of for a week,” he said. “Everyone needs to be aware, 365 days a year. That being said, one safer driver saves lives and protects our loved ones. Together, we can reduce the danger.”

Mission From page 1

“The mission assurance team, specifically cyber transport, had the biggest part in it as far as running the communication cables under the floor, setting up new workstations, cable management, knocking down the wall and extending the network,” Tierney said. After 2,800 man hours, 1 SOPS had a fully functional combined ops floor. This achievement marked the first time space situational awareness operations were brought together into one ops floor. “For me, the rewarding part about this project was hearing the squadron’s positive feedback and seeing how honored our commander was to lead a unit who completed this,” Tierney said. According to Kaiser, there was some initial resistance from headquarters to carry out this effort, however the squadron successfully secured requirements and funding. “This was truly a team effort, and after all the blood, sweat and tears, we successfully initiated our first SBSS contact out of Mod 9 April 20,” Beard said. “This wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s dedication, teamwork, and buy-in to the vision. I can’t wait to see how this new ops environment takes us to new heights.”

SAPR hosts 1st Zoo Zoom Run By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Children and adults gathered stuffed animals while sprinting towards the finish line during the 50th Space Wing Sexual Assault Prevention and Response office’s Zoo Zoom Run April 28. Stuffed animals were spread out along the running tracks for participants to gather during the run, the goal being gathering the most stuffed animals as possible while still achieving an optimal running speed. For the adults 2.5 mile run, each stuffed animal took seconds off their overall run duration. In addition, they were asked SAPR related questions for a chance to knock off more time. For children, their run was composed of multiple unrecorded laps around the indoor running track. Carrying as many stuffed animals as possible while running led to humorous results, said Paula Krause, 50th Space Wing Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. “It was hilarious to see people running; a lot of people were pretty creative about carrying the most animals across the finish line,” Krause said. Robert Fuller, 50th Space Wing Judge Advocate’s office, earned first place for the male adult run with a time of 12:05, while Veronica Leddy, 50th Civil Engineer Squadron, earned first place for females with a time of 13:32.

6 SOPS flies the COOP By Senior Airman Laura Turner 310th Space Wing Public Affairs

Once a year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration members travel from Suitland, Maryland, to Schriever to work side-by-side with the 6th Space Operations Squadron for Continuity of Operations training. 6 SOPS, a Reserve squadron and part of the 310th Space Wing on Schriever, specializes in operating the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites. DMSP satellites aid in planning military operations in the air, on land and at sea by providing tactical weather predictions and environmental intelligence. “The most important aspect of this mission is getting accurate weather data to warfighters,” said Master Sgt. Christian Hess, a 6 SOPS crew chief participating in his seventh COOP. Operation of the DMSP satellites represents a unique partnership between NOAA, 6 SOPS and the 50th Operations

Group, Detachment 1. The 50 OG Det. 1 members oversee day-to-day DMSP operations as well as organize and plan major events like the COOP. NOAA personnel are the main operators of the DMSP satellites, and 6 SOPS provides backup in the event that NOAA’s systems become inoperable. “During this event, we’ll cut communication lines to NOAA’s systems for the longest period ever attempted,” said Lt. Col. Paxton Mellinger, 6 SOPS commander. “We want to test ourselves, as the backup to NOAA’s system, to make sure we’re meeting all mission requirements in a worst-case scenario.” The speed of the DMSP satellites is one of the challenges operators face during these missions. “Because it’s lower in orbit, we have less time to respond to anomalies,” said Hess. “When we work with high flying satellites, we have minutes or even hours. With the DMSP satellites moving at close toT:9.5” 18,000 miles per hour, we have

to respond within seconds.” With an impending personnel changeover, the squadron will be losing 84 years of experience as more seasoned individuals head out the door. In order to keep up with mission requirements, new individuals are being trained on how to fly the DMSP satellite. “I’m currently in training here,” said Capt. Bradley Cole, “And I’ve never worked with low flyers, so some of this is fast paced. In the last few days we’ve learned how to interact with the Air Force Satellite Control Network, how to set up our console, do nominal satellite support and troubleshoot ground systems.” Overall, Cole states, working side-by-side with the NOAA operators has been a smooth transition for 6 SOPS personnel. With continued training events like the COOP, the squadron aims to keep operations between the two organizations as seamless as possible.

Zoo Zoom From page 8 sible time, the children had different priorities during their running event, said Krause. “The kids’ run was a bit of organized chaos,” she said. “A lot of parents told me they wished their kids picked up toys so quickly at home. They cleared all the stuff animals within 10 minutes.” The event was held in recognition of April being the Month of the Military Child, Child Abuse Awareness month and Sexual Assault and Awareness and Prevention Awareness month. Throughout the month, Airmen donated more than 500 stuffed animals for children in need in bins located around the base. After the run, the animals were gathered back in the bins to be donated to children in need through Safe Passage, a child advocacy center. Genelle Martinez, National Space Defense Center, who participated in the adult run, said she enjoyed the chance to go run for a good cause. “It was challenging to pick up and carry stuffed animals; it added a unique twist,” she said. “I appreciate the fact that the animals will be donated to kids later on, it’s pretty cool.” After its first year, Krause said she looks forward to possibly implementing the event in the future after witnessing the promising results and turnout. “Thanks to Schriever for donating so many stuff animals to help out kids,” said Krause. “Both were successful events and I think everyone had a lot of fun. Plus we get to give back to the local community.”

AFRC, AFAS offer real estate broker grant to spouses By Staff Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

The Schriever Airman and Family Readiness Center and Air Force Aid Society have teamed up to offer a real estate broker training grant to five Schriever spouses. “This grant program seeks to address the employment challenges Air Force spouses face every time they move,” said Heidi Goodbar, AFRC transition assistance manager. The grant, worth nearly $800, will provide spouses with a portable career option. “The real estate market is currently thriving in the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas,” Goodbar said. “A career in the real estate business can be a viable option for those interested in the industry and in terms of potential growth and profitability.” Kaplan College will provide the training, which is approved and regulated by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Private Occupational School Board. The curricu-

History Quiz Week of May 4, 2017

lum is approved by the Colorado Real Estate Commission. “The training is online and self-paced,” Goodbar said. “Spouses have six months to complete the course. Once the training is completed, spouses will be well prepared to take the state licensing exam.” According to Elizabeth Archuleta, the grant is an opportunity for spouses to find fulfillment in a professional career. “This is a chance for you to take control of your life and not be bound with menial jobs,” Archuleta said. “It can be very hard for spouses, especially young spouses, to maintain a meaningful job since the military is so transient. This helps spouses have stabilized career progression.” While many Airmen may associate the AFAS with an emergency agency, the spouse grant program may not be as well-known. Goodbar said spreading the word is key to the program’s success. “Typically the Air Force Aid Society provides emergency financial assistance to military members and their families

in times of need,” she said. “However, they also have a variety of community enhancement programs, which include the spouse grant program. We highly encourage spouses to take advantage of these offerings. While the AFAS routinely offers spouse education grants through the A&FRC, this is the first time they have offered a real estate broker training grant. “We are curious to see the interest level,” Goodbar said. “This is an absolutely amazing opportunity. It’s free money. If anyone has even the slightest interest in real estate, I say explore it. A career like this means you don’t have to settle for just any job you can get when you move to a new base.” Spouses interested in applying for the grant, must contact the AFRC and apply by May 31. To be eligible, the spouse must be married to an active duty Air Force member stationed at Schriever Air Force Base. The five selectees will be notified of selection for the grant in June. To apply, or for more information, call 567-3920.

Last week’s question and answer: On Feb. 10, 2000, 3rd Space Operations Squadron crews conducted their last support for which satellite constellation? On this date crews conducted their last support of the Ultra-High Frequency Follow-On satellites. This week’s question: Brig. Gen. Charles “Chuck” E. Yeager joined the 50th Fighter–Bomber Wing in 1954 as commander of the 417th Fighter-Bomber Squadron. He earned his pilot wings under what World War II program?

Front Range Tribal Relations meeting attendees gathered at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado, Wednesday, April 26, 2017. The meeting was held with regional area Native American tribes to forge new relationships between the Air Force and tribal leaders.

Air Force comes to table with First Nations By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Long before Schriever existed, the area we now populate was once a thriving crossroads for many first nations. Many Native American tribes, such as the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Jicarilla Apache and Ute tribes, inhabited and hunted the local region. In recognition of this history and the need to understand the importance of cultural preservation, Peterson Air Force Base sponsored representatives from approximately 14 Native American tribes to be a part of the Front Range Tribal Relations meeting at the Drury Inn, April 25-26. Leaders from Peterson, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Schriever Air Force Base, Buckley Air Force Base, F.E. Warren Air Force Base and the U.S. Air Force Academy attended. Over the last 100 years, the United States Congress has passed a series of laws designed to protect Native Americans and their heritage. The ideas expressed in the Archeological Resources Protection Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act have made their way into Defense Department and Air Force regulations. The meeting included blessings, installation overviews, tribal overviews, round table discussions, information booths and a tour of Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station. “The purpose of this meeting was to build relationships with tribal leaders that have or may have an interest in the resources on the land encompassed by the installations of the Front Range,” said Sandy Ingrassia, 21st Civil Engineer

Squadron cultural and natural resources manager. “Our goal was to bring governments together to learn about each other and find ways to come together to meet our respective mission needs.” Base commanders spoke about archaeological and historic resources, cultural resources management plans and upcoming projects. “I wish I could go back and change the past, but I can tell you I am committed to moving forward, as Schriever’s installation commander, to ensure I’m sharing the base’s history with you,” said Col. DeAnna Burt, 50th Space Wing commander. “We want to get this right and move forward in a positive direction, and I plan to be as open and transparent with the paperwork that we do have and have done.” Many of the tribes expressed their concerns, creating a learning environment for all who attended. The tribes requested further assessment of the land surrounding the different installations to see if any more artifacts have gone undiscovered. They also requested to be mindful of sacred sites as well as to maintain overall respect for the land. “I’m on the tribal council and have met with federal, state, city and council leaders, but have never met with military members before today,” said Ryan Kills a Hundred, Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe tribal historic preservation officer assistant. “The discussions and immediate respect that is already being shown here is incredible. In past meetings I’ve attended, this was not always the case. It’s encouraging and feel like we are going in the right direction. I’m happy to be here and share what we discussed with our fellow councilmen.” Despite some of the positive feedback, the meeting resulted

in several controversial moments; however, this was the first step to gaining a new understanding between both parties on such a large scale. Base leaders assured tribe representatives of their commitment to continue building partnerships, lines of communication and underlined there is still a lot of work to do toward resolving issues. Invited to attend the 2017 Front Range Tribal Relations Meeting were representatives from: • The Northern Arapaho Tribe, Lander, Wyoming • The Ute Indian Tribe, Fort Duchesne, Utah • The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Towaoc, Colorado • The Jicarilla Apache Nation, Dulce, New Mexico • The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, Concho, Oklahoma • The Southern Ute Tribe, Ignacio, Colorado • The Comanche Nation of Oklahoma, Lawton, Oklahoma • Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Eagle Butte, South Dakota • Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, Fort Thompson, South Dakota • Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, Flandreau, South Dakota • Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, Pawnee, Oklahoma • Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Rosebud, South Dakota • Spirit Lake Tribe, Fort Totten, North Dakota • Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Fort Yates, North Dakota • Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, New Town, North Dakota

Female Airmen gain time to make separation decision when pregnant By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Female Airmen now have up to 12 months after having a baby to request separation from the service under the Air Force’s new Diversity and Inclusion initiative. This policy change, effective April 26 gives female Airmen more time to better understand and assess how they can balance a military career and family needs, ensuring they have the opportunity to contribute to mission success. “To succeed in meeting current and future mission requirements, the Air Force

relies on access to the best talent our nation has to offer,” said Daniel Sitterly, the acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. “To compete for that talent in the future, we must place consistent emphasis on diversity and inclusion in order to attract and retain talent.” The previous policy only gave pregnant Airmen the option to leave the service before childbirth if they made the choice to separate. The change in policy allows female Airmen to apply for separation within the 12-month period after delivery via the virtual Military Personnel Flight, with the

date of separation set for no more than 12 months after the date of application. This policy is not retroactive. However, female Airmen who delivered a child on or after April 26, 2016, are also eligible to apply for separation up to 12 months after childbirth under this provision. This policy does not apply to adoptive parents. Pregnant Airmen can still separate before the baby is born by submitting an application with a requested separation date between 30-90 days prior to their projected delivery date. In addition, new parents may find other Airmen who have successfully balanced work and family demands via the MyVector

online mentoring system in order to provide further support and guidance. “Our country has a natural advantage in our incredibly diverse population — we just need to maximize it,” Sitterly said. “This is another initiative which allows Airmen flexibility in making decisions for their careers, their families and their futures.” Stay informed on the most current separation information on the Separation page on myPers. Click the Separation link on the far left from the active duty, Reserve or Guard landing pages or select “Any” from the dropdown menu and search “Separation.” For more information about Air Force personnel programs, go to myPers.

Community From page 1

Schroeder added someone doesn’t have to have problems in their lives to seek counseling. “Sometimes, you just need someone to listen,” said Schroeder. “Someone who is outside of your circle of friends and family who can offer a different perspective.” Keeping oneself mentally healthy is part of upholding a crucial pillar of Comprehensive Airmen Fitness, a foundational building block that can lead the way to positive impacts in life, changes for the better that can benefit Airman Snuffy and all those who feel like they need help. “It’s positive to seek treatment; counseling can help refine individuals, helping them give their best,” said Civiletto. “Having access to mental healthcare is essential to the overall well-being of our community.” Here is a list of some of the free counseling options available for Schriever Airmen on and off base, for a complete list, visit your first sergeant or any of the helping agencies.
