For many years, education on suicide underwent a period of unknowns. Before research could confirm the factors leading to suicide, and before the right actions to step up and act were known, knowing suicide was happening and telling people to seek help seemed to not be enough. That is no longer the case. The Department of Defense, and Schriever’s very own professionals in the field of suicide prevention, seek to equip Airmen to best know how to not only sympathize with struggle of suicide, but to actively work in preventing it with the people they impact in their day-to-day lives. “We strive to have a culture here of looking out for each other. Especially with the topic of this month, suicide prevention,” said Dr. Ken Robinson, 50th Space Wing Violence Prevention integrator. “If we see those signs, we’re going to take care of each other, we’re going to be there.” To best be there, there are various avenues Schriever wingmen can take, and it can all depend on the situations and people encompassed in the struggle. “The level of preparedness with how well we are equipped can vary anywhere from simply having a phone number (to a helping agency) on them to having formal training on intervention, via programs like Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training which is offered by the Chaplain Corps,” Staff Sgt. Jeannie Hackett, 21st Medical Squadron Mental Health Clinic NCO in charge said. In the earliest stages of a struggle with thoughts of suicide, there may be no clear See Combating page 5

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and military members DoD-wide are meant to not just be aware of the issue of suicide, but to #BeThere for their fellow service members. Being involved doesn’t mean solving everyone’s issues, rather, it means doing something seemingly small and positive to influence a person’s outlook on life.
National preparedness month, plan ahead for every situation By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
With hurricane season coming to an end and the winter season approaching, it is important to be prepared for any kind of situation. Tech. Sgt. Samuel Norris, 50th Civil Engineering Squadron NCO in charge of emergency management flight, said with everything that has happened in Texas and Louisiana recently, it puts “a big exclamation point on National Preparedness Month, which runs through September.” “I think one of the great things about preparedness month is that it reminds everyone and gives them an opportunity to look at their life and family to see if they’re ready to go,” Norris said. “When I was an Airman I got deployed
for a month to Keesler Air Force Base, and what we noticed at that time was that there are things you can do to prepare but sometimes there’s not,” he continued. “Some people had a little bit of a supplies, at least for a few days until they could figure out how to evacuate, but some didn’t, so they had to rely on the base at that time to take care of them.”
Norris stressed the importance of having a plan for when things like power outages and tornados occur. “You never know when the electricity will go out or when the budget gets tight,” he said. “You need extra supplies at the house and so what I suggest is that everybody has a plan for whatever it is - tornado, hurricane or bad weather, whatever the scenario is in your area.” If evacuations are advised, Norris said it is important to brief your family on where to meet and what to do in that situation. “If you look at people that are dealing with Hurricane Harvey right now, the initial questions are, ‘did they evacuate when they were supposed to, did they See Preparedness page 7

50th Space Wing command chief
Wow ... where has the time gone? I cannot believe it’s been six months since I joined CSMNG CSMNG Team Schriever as your command chief. It has been exciting for me to watch you execute our mission, providing global combat effects on a daily basis. Thank you for all you do. I recently had the opportunity to attend a senior leader development seminar. The intent of this seminar was to provide senior officers, civilians and enlisted within the Air Force a means to bring their organizations and themselves to a higher performance level; to optimize their outputs. Among all the discussions, was a reoccurring principle and question — what is needed. Regardless if these were personal, professional or organizational goals, the basic principle still revolved around needs. This made me reflect on the past months and question “do we collectively communicate our needs?” Secondly, “is someone listening and taking action?” To answer these questions, I feel like we must first understand what the word “need” COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

course of action or excel at performance. The reality is this: “needs” are required in everything we do, personally and professionally. Needs can also drive our motivation to do (or not do) what is in our day-to-day routines. This basic definition also aligns within our third Core Value of “Excellence in All We Do”. I would argue that realization of needs can drive sustained pride, enthusiasm and passion for what we do; to continuously develop and be innovative. I believe this same mindset is also found within our force’s priorities of: restore readiness, cost-effectively modernize, drive innovation, develop exceptional leaders and strengthen our alliances. These priorities are meant to tell us what our Air Force leadership believes we need to ensure our forces are always able to answer our nation’s call, whether in air, space or cyberspace. My challenge to you as Air Force members would be to understand the needs of your organization (both internal and external), how aligning personal needs with organizational needs can drive innovation, as well as realizing not only the needs for today, but what will be needed in the future and how you may be able to impact that.

AF cracks down on prescription drugs misuse
Staff Sgt. selects celebrate at release party
By Capt. Amanda Reeves Air Force Reserve Command Public Affairs
ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. — In an effort to combat substance abuse and maintain accountability of its forces, the Air Force is cracking down on the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs. Prescription drug misuse is considered any use of a prescription outside of its originally prescribed mandate and timeframe. This includes obvious abuse, like using prescription drugs to obtain a high, but also includes using an old prescription to treat a new medical illness or using a prescription beyond its expiration date. On June 22, in the case of United States v. Airman First Class Austin J. Mull, the U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals overturned precedent set in 1993 and ruled prescription drug misuse constitutes abuse of a controlled substance in violation of Article 112A of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. In other words, prescription drug misuse and abuse is considered the same category of offense as the use of any other controlled substance, such as narcotics. The USAF has made it clear, there is zero tolerance on prescription drug abuse and has recently revised its own disciplinary regulations, particularly affecting the officer corps. If any disciplinary action is completed against an officer for drug abuse, including misuse of prescriptions, separation actions will be initiated. The update to Air Force Instruction 36-3206, Administrative Discharge Procedures for Commissioned Officers, further explains that there is no time limitation on separation actions, and the separation will be valid unless a waiver is actively sought and approved. Officer retirements can also be adversely affected: Any officer applying for retirement who has received nonjudicial punishment in the previous four years will automatically go up for an Officer Grade Determination Board. These regulation changes reflect the sentiment that prescription drug abuse undermines the good order and discipline of the Air Force. The changes also hold officers to the same standard already in place for enlisted members. In the military, drug misuse is often identified through random urinalysis screenings. When a member tests positive for a drug not identified in their military records, the member’s commander is required to initiate an investigation, not only creating a stressful event for the member, but also straining the unit’s and the base’s resources. To avoid accidental misuse, military members should treat every prescription as a controlled substance. Once prescriptions have served their purpose and/or expired, people should dispose of them immediately to avoid confusion or temptation. Reserve Citizen Airmen are also required to submit prescriptions from their civilian providers into their military records. This ensures consistency in their records if reservists are selected for a random urinalysis. Reservists who have questions about a prescription’s validity should contact their medical provider or servicing Drug Demand Reduction Office.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and military members DoD-wide are meant to not just be aware of the issue of suicide, but to #BeThere for their fellow service members. Acknowledging someone in their time of need shows them their life is important, there’s hope for their future and they are loved.

signs. These early stages are where wingman relationships and workplace environments can turn the tide of negativity. “It all begins with ensuring your Airmen feel welcome, wanted and are playing a positive role to the best of their ability,” Hackett said. “It is imperative that leaders foster an environment of open communication.” Despite positive workplace environments, there are many risk factors that can play
into the spiraling negativity of someone struggling with thoughts of suicide. One of the main risk factors, time and time again, is relationship issues. Be it a marriage, significant other, family, best friend or lack thereof. “Relationships are really important, because we’re all going to struggle, we’re going to have things that happen,” Robinson said. “It’s just so much better when we have a wingman, spouse, family member or supervisor, someone who you know deep-down, cares about you.” Which is why reinforcing and being more attuned to those relationships is so critical to the well-being of the Team
Schriever family. Knowing this, leaders in the research regarding suicide prevention such as Robinson and Hackett reinforce, teach and learn at every opportunity. “We see an issue come up, look at it from a risk perspective and then we evaluate what we can do build protective factors in this area to strengthen our community, our families, our Airmen,” Robinson said. “That’s kind of what our work here in prevention is about.” Identifying, building and maintaining protective factors is one of the ways an individual struggling with thoughts of suicide can establish the security they need to maintain a positive lifestyle. When
these protective factors, be it their relationship, workplace, family, hobby or more, are strong, the individual can begin to focus on themselves, and seeking whatever extra attention they need. “If there was one thing I could suggest outside of the standard sleep, eat, stay fit and (have a) support system, it would be this: remind yourself every day what is important to you,” Hackett said. “What your goals are, the accomplishments you have made towards your goals, and why it is important for you to keep working towards them. “Ask yourself,” she continued. “‘What gives me hope?’”

2017 FEMP winners recognized at Energy Exchange By J. Brian Garmon AFIMSC Public Affairs
TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The Air Force recognized six Federal Energy Management Program, or FEMP, award winners Aug. 18 at the 2017 Energy Exchange in Tampa, Florida. Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Energy, Richard Hartley, presented representatives from each installation along with individual winners with certificates of achievement and coins from SAF/IE. “Congratulations to our Air Force award winners for the outstanding work they are doing to improve Air Force energy resilience, and helping enhance mission assurance through energy assurance,” said Hartley. “Each winner represents the best of what the Air Force has to offer and demonstrates a strong commitment to ensuring we are well positioned for the future.” In the project category, Jeff Blazi accepted the award on behalf of Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, which led a multi-disciplinary team to construct an 18.8 MW solar array at no cost to the government. All project costs totaled $54 million, and include a 102-acre, 31year land lease. The array generates enough energy to reduce energy usage by 61 billion British Thermal Units, or BTUs. This array, when coupled with an array completed in 2007, will allow 100 percent of the base to be powered by solar energy. Brian O’Leary accepted an award in the project category on behalf of Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The base achieved long-term cost savings at Clear Air Force Station, Alaska, through new energy sources eliminating $16 million in pending repairs at the old coal plant, which also reduced labor costs by $3.2 million annually. In addition, this project will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 42,000 tons to 6,700 tons per year, an 84-percent reduction. Abe Irshid accepted a program category award for his leadership at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, where the base reduced energy consumption by more than 447 billion BTUs, resulting in a cost savings of over $11 million. He developed a $3.3 million fiscal year 2016 energy management and control systems replacement project to save $733,000 per year. He also developed a $4.4 million energy resilience and conservation investment program, or ERCIP, project to upgrade and sequence chillers at the central plant, saving $631,000 in the first year alone. Irshid led a team of subject matter experts

to develop a $15.3 million fiscal year 2018 ERCIP project supporting resiliency through 20 MW of back-up power based on a co-gen duel-fuel turbine and microgrid. The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex was honored for its work in reducing energy usage by over 147 billion BTUs, resulting in a cost savings of more than $4.4 million. The complex’s accomplishments include: the awarding of a $262 million energy savings performance contract; the largest in the history of the Department of Energy, achieving leadership program endorsement through ISO 50001 accreditation and developing a $19 million utility energy service contract project to replace boilers, upgrade lighting and upgrade compressors. Joe Cecrle, energy manager for the complex, received the award on behalf of the organization. Tom Behany, from Stewart Air National Guard Base, New York, and Andres Hinojosa, from Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, were presented career exceptional service awards. Behany’s leadership on multiple projects and initiatives spans 31 years of civil service, where he began as a postmaster and currently is a real property manager in the 105th Air Wing Civil Engineer Squadron. Behany began assisting AFRL in 2010 for a microgrid research project commissioned in 2015 and he initiated many solar projects at facilities throughout the installation. In 2014, he facilitated the award of a $4.25 million project with multiple energy conservation measures, to include HVAC, lighting and hangar upgrades. Finally, he is partnering with stakeholders on a possible Catskill Aqueduct hydropower project. Hinojosa began his 32-year career as a mechanical engineer supporting the C-130 Hercules, B-52 Stratofortress and C-5 Galaxy weapon systems. During fiscal year 2016, he served as the lead energy manager for
Joint Base San Antonio. Hinojosa is currently leading a team finalizing the audit for an energy savings performance contract that will provide $240 million in conservation measures at all three installations at JBSA. The planned improvements are projected to cut JBSA’s energy bill by 25 percent or $17 million. Other initiatives include a community partnership program to install a 20 kW solar array sponsored by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, an on-site load curtailment program garnering rebates worth $2 million and a stand-alone $2 million project to upgrade energy management and control systems throughout JBSA with use of direct digital controls. “These winners and nominees represent the great strides our bases are making towards the Air Force’s goal of mission assurance through energy assurance,” said Dan Soto, AFCEC Energy Directorate’s measurements and analysis division chief.

During the month of September, National Preparedness Month will focus on planning, with an overarching theme of “Disasters Don’t Plan Ahead. You Can.” The goal of NPM is to increase the overall number of people that engage in preparedness actions at home, work, school and place of worship.
Preparedness
tential issues there could be, in Colorado it is primarily going to be the winter months that will be the most dangerous. Vehicles need to be winterized appropriately and everybody in the house needs to be prepped. To personally prepare for the upcoming winter months, Norris suggested downloading “Air Force Be Ready,” a free app available to all Air Force personnel. “The app is a really good resource for giving you good guidelines and a check list to prep for any kind of disaster situation,” he said. “If anybody wants to have a good list of things to do, the app will go through every kind of disaster to prepare, and it has a family preparedness kit that you can prep so you’re good to go.” According to Staff Sgt. Morris Thomas, 50th Space Wing Safety Office occupational safety manager, the goal of NPM is to “increase the overall number of individuals, families and communities that engage in preparedness actions at home, work, business, school and place of worship.” To help support the goal of NPM, 50 CES will set-up an informational booth once a week in various locations and will have handouts that give step-by-step instructions for any kind of bad weather event that may occur. Additionally, the safety office will host safety events and classes in Building 210, Room 148B. For more information about NPM, visit ready.gov/september. For questions about events and classes offered for NPM, contact Thomas at 567-2273(CARE).
From page 1 follow the guidance that was given by the government and did they have a plan for their own family?’” Norris continued. He added the importance of keeping water, food, medication and cash in case of emergency. As far as Schriever is concerned, Norris said nothing drastic has happened in the past, and thinks it is in a good location geographically. He does not foresee anything too threatening during the upcoming months. “The biggest issues that you’re going to have are up at base housing,” he said. “We’ve had some fires that have encroached on the base in the past, and winter storms that hit every year. People need to make sure their vehicles and those kinds of things are prepared. Could the electricity go out at that point? Absolutely.” The good thing about living here (on base) is that you have the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron and they keep the roads clear, so people don’t have an issue driving around on base,” Norris said. “But if you go out the front gate, that’s a different story.” Norris stressed the uncertainty that comes with weather. “You never know when something is going to happen,” he said. “You can’t prepare after the fact, you have to prepare before it happens.” He suggested looking regionally what po-

Oakhanger personnel visit Schriever By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Personnel from Schriever’s geographically separated unit at Ministry of Defense, Oakhanger, U.K., part of the 23rd Space Operations Squadron, and British representatives visited Schriever as well as Air Force Space Command Headquarters last month. The purpose of the annual visit was to merge personnel from both nations under the umbrella of space warfare. “The annual visit supports the space war fighting construct of partnering with our Allies — a key element in strengthening the space enterprise,” said Maj. Uri Mandelbaum, chief, Air Force Satellite Control Network operations for Air Force Space Command. “It provides a forum for face-to-face discussions on Oakhanger operations.” Representatives visited for four days, meeting with senior AFSPC personnel as well as touring facilities in Building 400. Discussions and mission briefings oriented around the detachment, as well as familiarizing British personnel on space warfare to bring both parties to an up-to-date understanding.

Personnel from the 50th Space Wing’s geographically separated unit at Ministry of Defense, Oakhanger, U.K., - part of the 23rd Space Operations Squadron, and British representatives visited Schriever Air Force Base and Air Force Space Command Headquarters last month. The purpose of the visit was to further the understanding of the space domain between both parties.
“We are ensuring that we have a common sight picture between the U.S. and U.K. interests for the site,” said Lt. Col. Dion Dixon, 23 SOPS operations officer at Oakhanger. “We conducted meetings with 50th Space Wing
and Headquarters Air Force Space Command to discuss the future of Oakhanger.” The annual event reflects the partnership between the U.S. and its British allies, especially those at Oakhanger, the only Schriever
GSU and AFSCN site operated by non-U.S. personnel. Under the call sign “LION,” the site, on top of providing support more than 175 U.S. DoD, civilian, allied and U.S. national satellites and critical dual coverage for geosynchronous satellites near the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, carries the unique function of supporting the U.K.’s “Skynet” satellite constellation. “We have a very strong partnership,” said Master Sgt. Eric Reagan, 23 SOPS Oakhanger NCO in charge. “Our role here is to be the liaison between the Air Force and the U.K. Ministry of Defense.” While the visit is a reoccurring event, the realm of space warfare is never predictable — rapidly changing on a day-to-day basis. As space is increasingly eyed by both the U.S. and its adversaries, the need to inform and maintain allies is as important as ever. “We anticipate that we will have a plan for the way forward by early next year, we would like visits like this to become more frequent,” Dixon said. “There are some changes coming at Oakhanger that we are very excited to be working with the Brits on.”

SQ/CC’s advance notification of enlisted promotions extended by week By Kat Bailey Air Force’s Personnel Center Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — Creating a quick win for squadron commanders, the Air Force’s Personnel Center now grants senior raters and senior rater trusted agents access to enlisted promotion selects lists via the virtual Enlisted Promotion Release system one full calendar week in advance of the public release date. The seven-day advance notification began with the 17E6/Technical Sergeant Promotion release this past July and will continue with all future enlisted promotion releases. Feedback received by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force’s Revitalizing Air Force Squadrons effort prompted the change. “One of the issues squadron commanders have repeatedly brought up is their desire to make promotion notifications to Airmen in their squadrons with sufficient planning time to recognize them appropriately,” said Brig. Gen. S.L. Davis, Chief of the Revitalization Team. “Squadron commanders at our most recent site visits are calling this a ‘win’.” AFPC reintroduced three-to-four-day advance notification to commanders with the staff sergeant results in 2016, allowing them to be the first to notify Airmen of their selection for promotion. Prior to that, 2007 was the last year the Air Force provided advance notification to commanders. “The change to a full week’s advance notification creates consistency across the force, so all squadron commanders will have the

Squadron commanders now get a full week’s advance notice for enlisted promotions, following feedback received by the Air Force’s Revitalizing Squadrons effort. The seven-day advance notification began with the 17E6/Technical Sergeant Promotion release allowing commanders the opportunity to recognize their Airmen during promotion milestones.
opportunity to plan and recognize their Airmen during promotion milestones,” said Maj. Gen. Brian Kelly, AFPC commander. According to Kelly, all previous senior rater and trusted agent responsibilities and the intent of the commanders receiving the notification remain unchanged. Senior rater agents will export their select lists and sort them for distribution to the commanders under their hierarchy before the public release date. “The intent is for commanders to notify
their selects no earlier than one day before the public release,” Kelly said. “However, commanders may use their discretion to notify their selects earlier than that for exceptional circumstances such as departures for deployment, hospitalization, etc.” Exceptional circumstances can also prevent Airmen from testing within their promotion cycle, requiring out-of-cycle consideration via the supplemental promotion process. Noncommissioned officer in-system sup-
plemental and senior NCO supplemental board results provide supplemental consideration for Airmen who had changes in their promotion files or who were otherwise not considered during the regular promotion release. Currently, these results are manually processed and reviewed, Kelly said. Thus, due to workload and time constraints, senior raters have and will continue to receive SNCO results within 48 hours prior to public release via email, while NCO supplemental promotion results remain viewable on public release . “AFPC continues to balance the art and science of Air Force human resources and talent management,” Kelly said. “My goal is to eventually provide advance notifications for all aspects of an Airman’s career, allowing their commanders to be fully engaged at the squadron level, the most essential level of command.” Kelly noted that officer promotions are a different process as the Office of the Secretary of Defense holds those promotion lists for 10 days, prior to Presidential approval and receipt by the Senate. This process provides AFPC about nine to 10 calendar days advance notice to senior raters in order to plan promotions, notifications and letters. The hold by OSD is required to prevent early release of promotion lists, because once scanned into the Congressional record, the lists are available to the public.

AF preparing to launch 5th OTV mission By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — The Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office is undergoing final launch preparations for the fifth mission of the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle. The OTV is scheduled to launch today, onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The fifth OTV mission continues to advance the X-37B’s performance and flexibility as a space technology demonstrator and host platform for experimental payloads. This mission carries small satellite ride shares and will demonstrate greater opportunities for rapid space access and on-orbit testing of emerging space technologies. Building upon the fourth mission and previous collaboration with experiment partners, this mission will host the Air Force Research Laboratory Advanced Structurally Embedded Thermal Spreader payload to test experimental electronics and oscillating heat pipe technologies in the long duration space environment. This will be the program’s first launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The fifth OTV mission will also be launched into, and landed from, a higher inclination orbit than prior missions to further expand the X-37B’s orbital envelope. “The many firsts on this mission make the upcoming OTV launch a milestone for the program,” said Randy Walden, the director of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office. “It is our goal to continue advancing the X-37B OTV so it can more fully support the growing space community.” The X-37B program completed its fourth mission on May 7, 2017, landing after 718 days in orbit and extending the total number of days spent in orbit to 2,085.

Finding new belonging
U.S. Air Force photo illustration/Airman 1st Class William Tracy
Pursuing his passion to fly, pilot training benefits motivated Senior Airman William Nash, 50th Comptroller Squadron Retirement and Separations technician, to join the Air Force. He soon acquired a new belonging – as an American Airman.
By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
In the midst of war, a young British boy walks toward his grammar school; life carrying on around him under a facade of normalcy — when the terrifyingly familiar sound of a German plane roars overhead, and in an instant it shatters all pretense; bullets impacting around him, a solemn reminder of the reality of war. Senior Airman William Nash’s grandfather has many childhood stories of the dark days of World War II during the Battle of Britain, where he saw British and German planes engage in the struggle for control of the island. His grandfather’s favorite plane is the British
Supermarine spitfire — often called the best plane of the war — adorning the walls and displays in the sunroom of his house. “He must have an excess of 200 model aircraft,” Nash said, with his ever-present English accent. “Usually for his birthday or Christmas I’d buy him a model aircraft.” During visits, Nash hears his stories and sees these models, and he and his grandfather would go to RAF museums and air shows together. Situated south of Britain — France within sight across the sea — and near a RAF base, Nash often saw planes overhead at the house, though in a more benign sense than what his grandfather experienced as a child. “We would see F-15s on a regular basis fly along the
Cliffs of Dover past the house,” Nash said. “You would hear the roar of the engines.” These memories made a lasting impression on him. “I originally wanted to join the RAF and try to become a pilot,” he said. However, school took priority. Growing up in Britain, he moved to London to study at Kingston University when he turned 18. It was there he learned of an opportunity to come to the U.S. “I found out about an international college program to go to Florida,” he said. “That’s when I was introduced to the states.” See Belonging page 15

LinkedIn key to successful post-AF career By Tech. Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
There’s an old adage in the job-seeking world that says, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” LinkedIn is a business and employment-oriented social networking service that operates via websites and mobile apps and helps job seekers get to “know” the right people. “It’s really important for those transitioning, both separating and retiring, to set up a professional LinkedIn account,” said Kendra Humphrey, Airman and Family Readiness Center work-life specialist. “It’s like a Facebook profile. You go out and make connections. If you’re looking for a certain occupation, it can help you land that position in the civilian sector.” LinkedIn offers varied levels of profiles, with a sliding cost scale depending on what features and access a person desires. Fortunately, for service members, veterans have free access to the premium career subscription for one year. “This package includes access to LinkedIn Learning as well as premium insights to understand what’s going on
inside companies you’re interested in and how you stack up against others applying for the same job,” Humphrey said. The A&FRC offers a LinkedIn workshop on a bimonthly basis, facilitated by LeaderQuest, an Information and Technology employer. They also offer a “tailor your resume” workshop. “We want to help set people up for success in every aspect,” Humphrey said. “We bring in experts to these workshops so that Airmen can hear from industry leaders on how to best set themselves apart in the private sector.” According to Humphrey, one of the most important things people can do to start setting themselves up for success is to build their resume, as that is what employers tend to gravitate to when reviewing a LinkedIn profile. “Start that process now,” Humphrey said. “You want everything to be professional, crisp and clean, and absolutely do not lie on your resume.” While a good resume can make or break an employment opportunity, employers might not even make it to that part of the profile if prospective employees are missing one crucial
item: a professional photo. “First impressions are everything,” Humphrey said. “Get a professional head and shoulder shot taken of you in clean business attire and well groomed. Do not put a picture up of you in your uniform. It’s all about presenting a professional image.” Master Sgt. Peter Uson, A&FRC NCO in charge, stressed the importance of Airmen taking advantage of LinkedIn at the earliest possible time. “If you start now, it will help build your network, follow employment trends, and keep you current on what type of talent companies are seeking,” Uson said. “You don’t want to be trying to figure that out at the last second. That will put you behind those who have been utilizing LinkedIn.” The next “tailor your resume” workshop is Sept. 13 from 9 - 11 a.m. at the A&FRC. The next LinkedIn workshop date has not yet been determined, but information will be posted in the base bulletin when it becomes available. For more information on either workshop, or to sign up, call 567-7391.

Senior Airman William Nash, 50th Comptroller Squadron Retirement and Separations technician, traveled to many places across the world with his wife, settling in the U.S. and joining the Air Force. Nash has worked a variety of jobs in different countries, from being a guide in Finland, escorting groups on snowmobiles to stay in igloos and ice fish, to working services at a prominent ski resort in the Switzerland mountains.
Belonging From page 12 During his first visit, it did not take long for him to notice cultural differences. “Everything in the U.K. is much smaller, there’s a million different accents within a five miles radius. There’s that same kind of diversity here (in the U.S.), just on a much larger scale. I remember when I first ordered some food there, and the waiter said ‘do you want some chips with that?’ I assumed they were talking about chips in the U.K. which are fries here,” he continued. “I asked for some ketchup with the chips and the waiter gave a strange look. Then she handed me a bag of chips and I realized what she meant.” He would continue to pay visits to the U.S. in — between his travels, working jobs across Europe, being a guide in
Finland, escorting groups on snowmobiles to stay in igloos and ice fish and working services at a prominent ski resort in the Switzerland mountains. “I was in a crossroads in life. I was looking for adventure jobs. I didn’t have a house, I didn’t have a car, I had nothing tying me down — I didn’t own anything besides some clothes and a laptop.” Eventually he ended up in Australia, working odd jobs, including as a doorto-door milkman. “It was farm-to-table kind of thing. Our pitch was that it supported Australian farmers. I would go door-to-door and do deliveries; because I was selling milk and not insurance or something they would give me a little bit more time,” Nash said. Meeting his wife while working in the U.S., he married and settled down in the states. Disenchanted by the corporate job he held at the time, Nash decided to reignite his desire to be a pilot after researching the Air Force and learning about education benefits and flying les-
sons covered by the GI bill. “I did my research and I saw a really good opportunity to hit the reset button and do something I really wanted to do,” he said. Unable to pursue becoming an officer, as he was not a U.S. citizen at the time, Nash enlisted under the general category, now a 50th Comptroller Squadron Retirement and Separations technician at Schriever. Like his world travels, he sees diversity across the Air Force — even in his own office. “Our office is an absolute melting pot,” Nash said. “You have myself from the U.K., an Airman from Nepal, another from the Philippines, one from Trinidad and Tobago. I think the Air Force is more diverse than any normal U.S. demographic.” Rekindling his aspirations, Nash is pursuing pilot training, actively working towards the desire to be a pilot, fostered from his time with his grandfather. “When you are up there, you feel like
you are completely detached from the world — I just like being up in the clouds and the views are amazing. You see the world in a whole different perspective,” he said. Nash, soon to undergo his first solo flight test, is anticipating a career as a certified pilot. “I’m still weighing out my options for the future,” he said. “Whether I go civilian, go palace chase and fly as a reservist or join the enlisted reaper program.” While the pilot training benefits were one of the reasons he joined, Nash soon acquired new belonging — as an American Airman. “When you lived in a foreign country, or have an accent from a foreign country, everyone perceives you as a foreigner. They would say ‘oh that’s just the British guy,’” he said. “When you say you’re in the Air Force you definitely get more respect. I became a U.S. citizen through the Air Force, and it has helped me grow as an American.”
