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.

50 FSS repeats as bike relay champions
Hoggard flips way to strong person title
By Scott Prater
Schriever Sentinel
In an effort to present bicycle riders with
a fresh challenge, the 50th Civil Engineer
Squadron and 50th Space Wing Command
Chief, Chief Master Sgt. 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.”

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-

New consumer protection agency focuses on military members
By Scott Prater
Schriever Sentinel
The creation of a new federal bureau stands to benefit
financial-services consumers when it opens for business
today. 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.

“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

home how diverse the Air Force
really is.”
The whole intent of the event
according to Vaughn is to get
people out of their cultural comfort zones.
“This year we observed our
participation numbers rise exponentially,” said Vaughn. “The
Schriever community came out
in force to observe, taste, participate and learn about the various
cultures that represent the fabric
of our Air Force.”
The event was highly successful, according to Vaughn, and
will only get better with each
year.
“We are bound by DoD to
recognize certain cultures and
observances during this event,”
said Vaughn. “Schriever is
unique in that our commander
has opened the doors past those
observances. 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. Visit www. consumerfinance.gov with questions
or for more information.
50th Space Wing Public Affairs will activate and
maintain the Straight Talk Line, updating information
as received by the Crisis Action Team or On-Scene

USAF launches second GPS Block IIF satellite aboard Delta IV
By 2nd Lt. 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

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.”

grow by providing them opportunities
to do so. 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.
