Patrice Clarke A member of the Seven Falls Indian Dancers performs a traditional “Eagle Dance” during Diversity Day July 15 at Schriever Air Force Base. Team Schriever members were treated to cultural performances as well an ethnic food tasting during the event. By Staff Sgt. Patrice Clarke 50th Space Wing Public Affairs Team Schriever members were treated to entertainment and good food during Diversity Day as part of the base picnic July 15. The 50th Space Wing Equal Opportunity office put on the event with the intention of educating members of diversity and the importance of it to the mission and the U. S. Air Force. The Department of Defense mandates that certain observances be recognized throughout the year and the Schriever EO team combined them into one performance and food-packed event. “I really enjoyed the entire event,” said Senior Master Sgt. Jennifer Ellis, Air Force Space Command. “This event really gave the entire wing, as well as visitors like me, the ability to see and enjoy the music, performers and food.” The EO team has been putting on this event for more than three years and plans to do it for many more. “We have been putting on a single Diversity Day for a couple of years and it’s really catching on,” said Edward Vaughn, 50th Space Wing EO specialist. “Our program has been modeled by other programs at other bases.” Diversity Day boasted food from three different cultures as well as performances from eight different ethnic and cultural groups.

Randy LaCombe, combined to build a new course for Schriever’s latest Mountain Bike Relay Race, held in conjunction with the Schriever Base Picnic July 15. Riders overwhelmingly agreed, the new course was more challenging and provided a more enjoyable competitive experience. Despite the changes, however, the 50th Force Support Squadron defended its title, blazing through the 2.5 mile course in 35 minutes, 46 seconds, more than 4 minutes ahead of 50th Space Communications Squadron. “I think this race was a big jump in performance from the last one we rode,” said Derek Hamby, 50 FSS team captain. “Eleven teams competed, covering a wide variety of squadrons and the course provided much more of a mountain bike challenge.” Members of the 50 CES constructed berms, table-top jumps and a feature known as “woopdeedoos,” or a series of rolling bumps. The highlight of the course was the mud bog. Riders crested a hill during the second half of the course, then coasted down a hill near the north perimeter fence and splashed through a water-filled pit. Many attempted to roll through as fast as possible, resulting in some taking a dive over their handle bars. Most preferred to proceed cautiously, which carried the stuck-inknee-high-mud penalty. A slim few managed to roll through unscathed. Lead-off rider, Jeff Roob, gave 50 FSS more than a one-minute lead on the rest of the field and his teammates stretched it with each successive rider. Hamby anchored the squad and added more than a minute to the winning margin. “We have a lot of mountain biking experience,” Hamby said. “Brandon Schirm and I used to race, Jeff is an avid cyclist and Kyle Cloppas is a real good runner, which transfers well to this type of course. But, the level of competition out here is real strong. The 50 SCS had a real strong team, led by Scott Nicholson and this race showed there are a lot of good riders here.” The 50 SCS crossed the finish line in 39:46 followed by 50 CES in third in 41:16. LaCombe anchored 50th Space Wing Chiefs and Eagles to sixth place in 42:43. Mike Hoggard helped 2nd Space Operations Squadron finish in 44:26, just minutes after he won the Strongperson Competition. In that event, competitors were charged with flipping a 300-pound tractor tire, end over end, for 50 feet. Once they pushed the tire past the 50-foot line they then had to push a Gator utility vehicle [with passenger] the entire 50-foot length back to the start line. Hoggard won the event by completing the two chores in 39.95 seconds, one second ahead of Bryan Bell, 50th Operations Support Squadron. Bell’s wife, Westy Bell, won the female competition [with 200-pound tire] in 55.93 seconds. “I did some Olympic weight lifting while I was in college and that’s all about explosiveness, quickness and power,” Hoggard said. “I also played football in college and pushing the Gator seemed an awful lot like pushing a blocking sled.” A few of the competitors had trouble keeping the tire in front of them as it flipped, but not Hoggard, who figured experience was key to flipping quickly. “One thing you learn is to push evenly with both arms,” he said. “If you don’t, the tire doesn’t land flat and then it wobbles away from you.” U.S. Air Force photo/Scott Prater Brandon Wilson, 4th Space Operations Squadron, attacks the mud bog during the anchor leg of the Mountain Bike Relay Race July 15.

Commentary by Lt. Col. Jasin Cooley 50th Security Forces Squadron commander You have all stood tall and volunteered to serve in the military of a nation at war. This selfless act cannot be marginalized or dismissed, and I feel privileged to work with men and women of such character and ability. Senior Airman Daniel West, 50th Security Forces Squadron patrolman and response force leader, recently asked me, “Have you ever met Airmen whose motivation and drive keeps you on your toes because they push you to be better at your job?” I was humbled by the thought and responded, “Yes, every day!” To the Air Force’s misfortune, I have also met Airmen utterly mired in drudgery, some profoundly bored and others seriously unhappy about their decision to serve. I suspect a sizeable portion of these bored and unhappy Airmen unconsciously wear blinders which obscure the opportunities surrounding them. The military as a whole has a lot to offer Airmen in return for making the sacrifices demanded of military service, but the burden is largely on you to capitalize on these opportunities. You need to volunteer! Will volunteering result in more work? Absolutely! Consider this: your initial act of volunteering for military service has undoubtedly caused you more work than most of your civilian peers. But akin to those who we used to call ‘dorm rats’ at Kunsan Air Base — Airmen who never left base, those who never again raised their hands when an opportunity arose. Not only do they miss out on enriching life experiences, they are most certainly limiting their careers. First Lt. Jacob Paulson, 50 SFS director of operations, recently stated, “Volunteering is the key to upward mobility in the service.” Unfortunately, there remains a strong tendency to avoid volunteering. This could not be more self-defeating. From a practical standpoint, volunteering for additional duties, community service and career-broadening jobs helps win a reputation as a “go-getter.” Moreover, your wider breadth of experience and expertise increases marketability. Throughout my career I have heard security forces Airmen lament about the apparent inaccessibility of staff jobs in the squadrons. I suspect this is the case in most other units. More often than not, these troops revealed they never actually applied for a recently advertised job. When asked for their ratio- Dress Right Freedom is an auto loan that’s easy on my budget.

Service members will receive specific attention as the agency moves forward with a planned service member subordinate organization. President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 last July, establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “The new agency was created to help consumers avoid financial scams and other abusive lending practices,” said Christina Stump, community readiness consultant and certified financial counselor at Schriever’s Airman and Family Readiness Center. “The new bureau’s job is to provide financial education to consumers, enforce current financial laws and research and analyze information to better understand consumers, financial services and financial markets.” Recognizing that service members are often targeted by deceptive lenders, the CFPB also established the Office of Servicemember Affairs. Holly Petraeus, wife of Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, The Schriever Straight Talk Line Diversity From page 1 “There is just so much local talent in the area that getting performers to come out here was not difficult,” said Vaughn. Groups like the Celtic Step Irish Dancers and the Oluwaseyi Dancers, a West African dance group, performed traditional dances, while the Seven Falls Indian Dancers and the U.S. Paralympic Committee had much audience participation. An Airman with the 50th Security Forces Squadron particularly enjoyed the Native American performing group. “I really enjoyed the performance because it reminded me of home,” said Airman 1st Class Michael Hopper. “[Diversity Day] is a great event because I was able to see not only performances from my own culture and ethnicity, but those of other cultures as well. It really brings was chosen for the bureau’s implementation team, where she’ll direct efforts to establish the OSMA. According to an American Forces Press Service release, Petraeus will work closely with the DoD to help ensure military families receive the financial education needed to make wise financial decisions, to monitor and respond to complaints and questions from military families, and to ensure that federal and state agencies coordinate their activities to improve consumer protection measures for military families. “I am very excited about an agency dedicated to consumer protection, especially since our military members are frequently targeted for affinity fraud,” said Christina Fornander, accredited financial counselor at the Peterson Airman and Family Readiness Center. “Military members are usually young, just starting out and with a guaranteed paycheck. It is comforting to know an agency with the training and knowledge about finances is actively looking out for consumers.” Stump provided examples of how predatory lending institutions might take advantage of service members. In the past, credit card companies could increase revolving-credit interest rates at any time, many times unbeknownst to a The Schriever Straight Talk Line, 567-8255, is used to disseminate information about a disturbance, crisis or incident, exercise or real-world, on or off-base, which might affect day-to-day activities of base personnel.

This is an evolving program. Any culture or ethnicity that Team Schriever members want celebrated here could be and can be considered for next year’s event.” person who has opened the account. She indicated that mortgage refinance loans are also very popular now, but that deceptive lenders have been able to dupe consumers into high-rate adjustable rate mortgages that generate exorbitant fees to the mortgage brokers. “There are a lot of scams going on right now,” Stump said. “Now that this federal bureau has been established, the OSMA can work directly with service members and provide the protection they need so they don’t become a victim to one of these scams. I think it should make service members feel more comfortable because they know they have a source they can go to with financial questions. In the past many people didn’t know where to go.” In a related development, the CFPB and the Judge Advocate Generals of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard announced an agreement on a Joint Statement of Principles July 6, to provide stronger protections for service members and their families in connection with consumer financial products. The bureau will set up a Consumer Response Center in the near future.

Caitlin Suttie 45th Space Wing Public Affairs CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla — The U.S. Air Force launched a United Launch Alliance Delta IVMedium rocket carrying the second Global Positioning System IIF satellite at 2:41 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time July 16 from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. “The 45th Space Wing, Space and Missile Systems Center, GPS Wing, Boeing and United Launch Alliance team are proud to launch the second installment of the GPS Block IIF,” said Brig. Gen. Ed Wilson, 45th Space Wing commander, who served as Launch Decision Authority. “This mission proves yet again our ability to reliably deliver national security space systems to orbit.” The commander of Air Force Space Command said he was pleased with the second launch of the next-generation GPS satellite. “This launch is an important step in the continued evolution of our GPS capability,” said Gen. William L. Shelton, AFSPC Commander. “With literally billions of civil, commercial and defense users around the globe, sustaining a vital GPS capability is extremely important to us.” GPS is a space-based, world-wide navigation system providing users with highly accurate, three-dimensional position, navigation and timing information 24 hours a day in all weather conditions. Every GPS satellite has been launched from Cape Canaveral AFS. The mission of the 45th Space Wing is “One Team...Delivering Assured Space Launch, Range and Combat Capabilities for the Nation.” Air Force releases updated dress and appearance instructions By Eric M. Grill Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) — The Air Force’s instruction on dress and personal appearance recently received an appearance upgrade with the release of the updated instruction July 18. Air Force Instruction 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance, received the facelift after several years of interim updates as uniform items were introduced and phased out. The last revision to the AFI was in 2006, prior to the release of the Airman Battle Uniform, which replaces the Battle Dress Uniform and Desert Camouflage Uniform Nov. 1. Most of the changes to the AFI are more about mechanics and clarification than new policy, said Ruth Ewalt, the Air Force Uniform Programs and Policies chief at the Air Staff. They are intended to make the AFI more user-friendly. “The changes are a result of Airmen in the field requesting clarification, leadership approving more specific policy, and the need to integrate information from the 98th virtual uniform board and other wear policy approved since 2006,” Ewalt said. “We added the ABU, green fleece, and physical fitness uniform information not in the previous AFI and corrected instances of conflicting information.” For clarity and ease of reading, the chapters were rearranged and sections were made inclusive to eliminate turning back and forth to configure a single uniform, she said. The difference in the old and new AFI is that the tables are now integrated into the text. Each uniform has its own section, starting with the most formal through the utility, PT, and distinctive uniforms. One thing Airmen might notice is the amount of pictures incorporated into the revised AFI. Volunteer From page 3 nale, the answer invariably resembles: “I didn’t apply because only [insert radical, rumor-inspired generalization here] get those jobs.” Yet with troubling frequency, I have had very few applicants for those staff jobs — and occasionally no applicants at all. This fear or aversion to volunteering becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as squadron leadership must in turn ask for applicants — which subsequently lead to U.S. Air Force graphic “Individuals learn and retain information differently,” Ewalt said. “For some, a photo is a better tool than volumes of text or audio. We wanted to make this AFI as ‘user-friendly’ as possible. It covers every Airman — from the first-day recruit in Basic Military Training to the 30-plus-year career Airman.” Sections are also inclusive, listing all items that may and must be worn with each particular uniform with the exception of outer garments which are covered in their own section. The first three chapters cover the basic philosophy, appropriate circumstances to wear uniform items, how and where to purchase them, roles and responsibilities, and grooming and appearance standards. Chapters four through seven cover uniforms worn and maintained by all Air Force members: dress, utility, and physical training uniforms. Chapters four and five include the dress and utility uniforms. Chapter six explains outer gar- impressions of favoritism. The Air Force provides a thick catalog of experiences, all at the low price of a little extra work. In hindsight, even those labor-intensive additional duties for which I was “volun-told” to do provided many enriching experiences. Supervisors, there is a role for you too! Taking care of people is a common phrase in the Air Force lexicon, but I fear we relegate this broad and important concept to a strictly defensive connotation, keeping them fed and clothed, providing fair evaluations, etc. Taking care of your troops also means challenging them to ments, headgear, rank insignia and accessories, and chapter seven covers the physical training uniform. The remaining chapters “customize” the uniforms of unique populations and discuss badges, awards and decorations unique to individual Airmen. The final chapter contains instructions for recommending changes to dress and personal appearance policy or uniform designs. The revised AFI also added a tattoo measurement tool to standardize the process for Airmen and commanders to determine if a tattoo meets standards. “There is also a form to document tattoos that are borderline excessive or require a commander-approved waiver,” Ewalt said. “The policy regarding what constitutes an excessive tattoo has not changed. The standard is still not more than 25 percent of the exposed body part.” The revision involved input from individuals of all ranks and components of the Air Force, including Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard members. “This three-year effort included Airmen from all walks of Air Force life, ... (including military) training instructors, recruits, recruiters, first sergeants and Air Force leadership from all levels, professional military education instructors, functional communities, and support organizations to name a few,” Ewalt said. “This Air Force instruction was influenced by a huge population of Air Force service members because it impacts the total force.” For online dress and appearance information, go to the dress and appearance webpage on the Air Force Personnel Center’s website at http://www.afpc.af.mil/dress/index.asp.

Reflectively, I think all supervisors understand this necessitates their troops’ volunteerism; however, relying on them to volunteer may not always be enough. Everyone has a comfort zone and some people have a comfort zone barely an inch wide. To erase the boundaries of their troops’ comfort zones, I encourage supervisors to not only actively seek additional opportunities for their subordinates, but to sometimes provide a hint of extra encouragement. Furthermore, supervisors should not stand in the way of their troops who are volunteering for jobs of increased responsibility. I will always remain humbled and honored to stand beside the fine Americans who have raised their hands to answer our Nation’s call. Volunteerism and selflessness was central to the formation of the Republic and remains deeply rooted in the American psyche. I hope all military members recognize further volunteerism is but the next logical step after their first, profoundly selfless act of voluntarily swearing to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Volunteering enriches the person and the Service.

Yoga may alleviate chronic pain — Yoga fans are quick to tout the flexibility and stressrelieving benefits of this ancient practice, but a new study suggests it may be an effective pain-management tool as well. Researchers at Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, Calif., found that just four weeks of regular yoga sessions significantly reduced the frequency and severity of chronic pain. Eighteen men and women with persistent chronic pain attended 90-minute Iyengar yoga sessions, three times per week for one month. Iyengar yoga combines various yoga poses with meditative breathing exercises. Using weekly questionnaires, researchers concluded participants were using less pain medication and had lower levels of anxiety than at the start of the study. Mood significantly improved as well. Lead investigator Dr. Sonia D. Gaur believes yoga may be an effective pain management tool for those who live with chronic pain, but suggests more studies need to be done to confirm these benefits.
