The Air Force received the last in a series of GPS IIR satellites from Lockheed Martin during an April 1 f ly-out ceremony at the Lockheed Martin facility in Valley Forge, Penn.

Lt. Col. Doug Schiess, operations offi cer for the 2nd Space Operations Squadron, represented the 50th Space Wing at the ceremony.

“Th e IIR satellites have been great,” Colonel Schiess said. “One of the things they’ve done for us is allowed us to reduce our operations tempo. We used to have to do two supports per day on all GPS satellites, but the IIRs have allowed us to go down to one support per day.”

Th e IIR satellites require less support because they have improved autonomous capabilities. Th e primary autonomous capability is a IIR redundancy management function, which tracks and manages the satellite’s subsystems. Internal tests are run regularly and components can be autonomously swapped if a failure is detected.

Th e IIR series of satellites has also been more robust. Aft er nearly 11 years since the fi rst IIR satellite was launched, all the IIR satellites’ remain operational and are still on their primary clocks.

“We have multiple clocks for redundancy on each satellite,” Colonel Schiess said. “Our older IIA satellites are on their second or third clocks, but we haven’t had to change a clock yet for the IIR satellites.” Th is robustness makes the satellites more likely to live beyond their projected design lifetimes — which means more utility for taxpayers’ dollars.

When GPS IIR(M)-20 launches this summer, it will be the 19th IIR satellite in orbit. Of those 19 satellites, seven are the newer IIR(M) models, which provide an additional signal called L2C for civilian use and additional military code, or M-code, signals.

“Th e M-code is a modifi cation that the Air Force asked Lockheed Martin to do aft er they had the GPS IIR contract,”

COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

Tierra Vista Communities, the hous-ing privatization project at Schriever Air Force Base, has unveiled plans for the 242 new homes being built here in the next two years.

Homes at Schriever will range in size from 1,630 square feet to 4,000 square feet and will feature a minimum of three bedrooms. Th e new homes will include a spacious master suite and bathroom, energy effi cient appli-ances and ample storage space and will be situated within welcoming communities fea-

turing pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, lively community centers, attractive open spaces and active hiking and biking trails.

Construction at Schriever will take place during the next two years and include new homes for Airmen of all ranks, a community center with indoor pool, and a host of other amenities.

A groundbreaking ceremony at Schriever will take place May 16 to offi cially begin the new home construction. Th is will be the fi rst time in Schriever’s 25 year history that homes

will be built on base.“We know the many challenges our mili-

tary families face, and we want to make their living experiences as carefree and positive as possible,” said Jim Mullen, Tierra Vista Communities Project Director. “We are anx-ious for the fi rst homes to come online and off er our Airmen and their families another option for living.”

As a result of the new construction, more families will be introduced into the commu-nity, which in turn, will give rise to more chil-dren attending nearby Ellicott Elementary School. A plan was put in place for Tierra Vista Communities to help address this need by providing $2.08 million towards the con-struction of a ten classroom addition.

Construction began in January and is scheduled for completion before the start of the new school year next fall.

“Th is is a perfect example of how two enti-ties can work together to address a potential issue and resolve it in an extremely speedy manner,” Mr. Mullen said. “Actus Lend Lease and the Ellicott School Board worked hand-in-hand to get these new classrooms built which will ensure adequate space for the new infl ux of students.”

Tierra Vista Communities is a 50-year partnership created between the Department of the Air Force and Actus Lend Lease through the Military Housing Privatization Initiative.

Th e new homes are part of the MHPI, a critical component in the eff ort to elimi-nate inadequate housing and foster a better quality of life for Airmen and their families. Actus Lend Lease was selected by the U.S. Air Force as the developer for the $320 mil-lion community development project at three bases, including Schriever, Peterson, and Los Angeles Air Force Bases.

COMMENTARY

Commentary by Staff Sgt. Don Branum50th Space Wing Public Affairs

I returned April 18 from two weeks of training that I may never use — two weeks of crawling through mud, running with 40 pounds of body armor strapped to my shoulders and head, and eating fi eld rations.

I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.Th e training I attended was the Air Force’s

Advanced Combat Skills Training course, of-fered at the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center on Fort Dix, N.J. Fort Dix is collocated with McGuire Air Force Base, and planes fl y in and out of the area constantly. I quickly grew ac-customed to the sound of air power, whether it was the roar of a C-17 Globemaster or the high-pitched whine of a KC-135 Stratotanker as they fl ew a few hundred feet above our training areas and dormitories.

I learned how to recognize an improvised ex-plosive device, move tactically in open fi elds and urban terrain, operate as a member of a convoy and apply a tourniquet in less than 10 seconds. Th e classes were hands-on and immersive — the way they should be, because there’s only so much you can learn through a slideshow presentation. To really learn how to low crawl, you have to be in the dirt, taking notice of each blade of grass as you pass it by at a gruelingly slow pace. To really learn how to spot an IED, you have to look for it in the fi eld, where it might be concealed under brush or dirt or placed just behind a tree. To really learn how to lift a litter with a 200-pound body over a six-foot wall, you have to be one set of arms in the team that makes it happen as AK-47 rifl es sound off from 100 meters away.

And while you learn how to do all these things, you’re also learning how to work as a team — how to shoot, move and communicate so in-stinctually that the four members of your fi re team act not as individuals but as four parts of a single entity.

You learn how your Wingmen will react in a hostile environment, because you have to. Th e sounds and sights and smells of combat are all there. Th e instructors even manage, in some

blocks of instruction, to incorporate the sensa-tion of pain through simulated rounds. Instead of lead, the rounds carry a payload of non-toxic detergent that spatters when it hits clothing. Students and instructors wear protective cov-erings that resemble gas masks and protect their faces and heads. Th e pain is comparable to actu-ally being shot, especially when you take a round to your kidney or the back of your thigh.

But the pain serves its own purpose: just as a child might learn the hard way not to touch a hot stove, students learn to stay low, use cover and avoid silhouetting themselves in open windows and doorways.

Our class learned about some of the improvised explosive devices used in theater. I won’t go into detail, except to say that the sophistication evi-dent in some of the IEDs is frightening. And we learned how to operate in convoys — a critical

skill given how many Airmen will be part of at least one convoy during their deployment. At the end, we put it all together — fi ghting and saving lives amidst the sounds of simulated gunfi re, IED explosions and rocket-propelled grenades.

“We hope you never have to use the skills you learned during your two weeks in this class,” Tech. Sgt. Jesse Pate, one of the Expeditionary Center instructors, said to us as we received our graduation certifi cates. “But if you do, we’re con-fi dent that you’ll be able to survive and operate and come back home safely.”

Th e training reinforced for me how much I needed to know in order to be an asset to the war eff ort when I deploy. It also reinforced the meaning of the statement, “I am an American Airman.” I spent two weeks being an American Airman in every sense of the word — and I’d do it again in a New Jersey minute.

Everyone has heard the horror stories: a request for a new system gets approved, but by the time the project is fi nished, the end product is nothing like the original design or it does not work because the system was fi elded before getting all the bugs out. Th en comes several years of diff erent “fi xes” to try and get the new system to work as originally intended.

When it comes to Air Force Space Command, the stakes are higher than normal, because new systems are typically more expensive, more complex, and more diffi cult to fi x aft er fi eld-ing. For example, while a radio or vehicle can be worked on aft er production, it is virtually impossible to replace faulty on-board hardware once a satellite has been launched.

To ensure that new systems work right the fi rst time and current systems contin-ue to meet the needs of the user, the 17th

Test Squadron and its Reserve counter-part, the 14th Test Squadron, were created. Together, these squadrons provide inde-pendent assessments of new systems and provide AFSPC senior leaders with fi elding recommendations.

Th e partnership between the 17th and 14th Test Squadrons is unique. Unlike many other Reserve units, which provide backup or surge capabilities for the regular Air Force, the 14th TS is a fully integrated partner in the testing process.

Since the acquisition of highly complex systems can take several years, active-duty personnel may be reassigned before the completion of a project. On the other hand, Reservists provide critical continu-ity throughout the testing process, bringing extensive experience and expertise to test and evaluation.

Th is year has been particularly busy for the testing community. Th ey have completed up-

grades to the Nuclear Detonation Detection System, worked with Combat SkySat, a rap-idly deployable system designed to provide extended-range UHF and EHF commu-nications to units in theater and tested a new command and control system for GPS ground stations. Th e community also sup-ported strategic and theater missile warning system upgrades at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station.

Test results on these systems have validated new capabilities while also uncovering op-erational concerns. For example, the Nuclear Detonation Detection System now utilizes data from the Defense Support Program, providing better resolution of nuclear det-onations. For Combat SkySat, defi ciencies uncovered during testing drove extensive engineering upgrades to the payload and platform. Th ese upgrades have made the sys-tem more valuable to warfi ghters through increased range and improved system life

expectancy during operations.Airmen with the 17th and 14th Test

Squadrons have deployed to several loca-tions in support of these tests.

“Th eir eff orts ensure warfi ghters receive systems that meet their requirements,” said 14th Test Squadron commander Lt. Col. Scott Jokerst. “In fact, one test had to be halted when testers identifi ed several serious defi -ciencies that needed to be fi xed.”

Colonel Jokerst said if that particular sys-tem had not been tested, it could have had a signifi cant impact on the warfi ghters’ ability to accomplish their mission.

“Rigorous operational testing ensured system capabilities matched the warfi ght-ers’ expectations,” he said. “Critical systems must work the fi rst time, and the teamwork from the men and women of the 17th and 14th Test Squadrons provide commanders with the confi dence to use those systems on a daily basis.”

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Th underous applause, confetti thick as a spring snowstorm, noise mak-ers and air horns greeted the entrance of the Outstanding Airmen of the Year nominees to Air Force Space Command Headquarters April 21.

Th e arrival ceremony for the candidates had all the ear-marks of a great celebration.

Th ere was a buzz in the air, old friends and former com-rades greeted each other warmly, soft music played in the background and organizers of the event hustled here and there checking on last-minute details.

It was a long, hard road getting to Peterson Air Force Base for 22 Airmen. It was competitive all the way, and each of the Airmen earned his or her trip the old- fashioned way: by working hard, preparing hard and maintaining impeccable bearing throughout the process. Th ese men and women are proven winners and they are the AFSPC candidates for the Outstanding Airman of the Year. To make it to the Air Force level, they have one more challenge to overcome — this one.

Silence descended over the atrium as AFSPC commander Gen. C. Robert Kehler rose to speak.

“Th is is a diffi cult morning for us because we face a chal-lenge,” General Kehler said to the hundreds of command members attending the event. “How do you pick the most outstanding Airmen from a group of the most outstanding Airmen in the command? It is a hard job, but we will do it.”

Th e candidates expressed the feelings they experienced as they walked to the front of the assembled command.

“Th e people I work with gave me this opportunity,” said Airman 1st Class Brittanie D. Pierce, representing the AFSPC Manpower, Personnel and Services Directorate. “I am very thankful that they have given me so much support.”

Airman Pierce was defi nitely the hometown favorite. Her section came out to cheer her on with deafening applause.

Master Sgt. Sara L. Dozier, the 50th Network Operations Group fi rst sergeant from Schriever AFB, talked about the reception itself.

“Th is is pretty awesome,” she said. “I had no idea that it is this big of an aff air. It is overwhelming actually.”

Staff Sgt. Elkan Hawkins is a solidly built man with a wide smile and a quick wit. He came to the competition representing Buckley AFB.

“I really have mixed emotions,” he said. “I am proud to represent my base, and I am thankful to my leadership who helped put me forward for this award. I am defi nitely thank-ful for all their support.”

Sergeant Hawkins’ proudest achievement, however, is the Pee Wee football team he coaches in his community. Interactions in the community are a part of how these Airmen were judged at all levels of the competition. For Hawkins, however, it was personal.

“Of all the things happening to me in my life, the one I am most proud of is coaching the Montebello Falcons,” Sergeant Hawkins said. “Th is is no bullet fi ller, those kids touched me. Th ey touched my heart.”

Senior Master Sgt. David Kelch, fi rst sergeant for the 341st Civil Engineer Squadron, Malmstrom AFB, Mont., was asked how he might react if he was selected April 25 to represent the command at the Air Force competition. He said, “I will thank my entire fi rst sergeant council I work with at Malmstrom. Th is opportunity is truly a refl ection on the other fi rst sergeants I work with on the Big Sky First Sergeant’s Council.”

Finally, the comment of AFSPC Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Joseph Vu during the invocation describes these outstand-ing Airmen.

“Th e quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence regardless of their chosen fi eld of endeavor,” Chaplain Vu said.

Gala greets AFSPC Outstanding Airmen

By Master Sgt. Kate RustAir Force Space Command Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Twenty-two arrived, but only four will move on.

Selecting from among 22 nominees in four categories, Air Force Space Command announced its Outstanding Airmen of the Year for 2007 at a banquet here April 25.

Gen. Robert C. Kehler, commander of Air Force Space Command, was the banquet’s host.

“I know they’ll compete well (at the Air Force level) — they competed harder just to get where they are to-night,” he said.

The winners are: Senior Airman Jonathan Toro-Caloyeropoulos,

fi re team leader, Charlie Flight, 791st Missile Security Forces Squadron, Minot AFB, N.D.

Raised in Santa-Cruz, Bolivia, he enlisted in the Air Force in 2006. Airman Toro-Caloyeropoulos recently deployed to Camp Bucca, Iraq, and served as the primary controller for the Tactical Operations Center located in the Th eater Internment Facility.

He thanked God, his supervisors, the people who helped him make it all the way from Basic Military Training to his present job, and off ered some encouragement.

“Keep charging forward,” said Airman Toro-Caloyeropoulos. “Th ere’s a lot more to be accomplished.”

FORT CARSON, Colo. — The Army depends more than ever on space-based systems to support its combat troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world, so it must become more involved in designing and operating those systems, the Army’s top space officer said during an address to the 24th National Space Symposium April 10.

“Th e measure of merit, from my perspec-tive, is what we deliver to the warfi ghter,” said Army Lt. Gen. Kevin T. Campbell, commander of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command in Arlington, Va.

General Campbell was a featured speaker at the National Space Symposium, held at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs.

“We look to the industry and across ser-vice lines to unify forces to deliver the most capability,” he said, “because the men and women out there are the ones who pay the steep price for every day that we don’t deliver capability to the warfi ghter.”

Th e Army’s use of faster, better space-based systems for communications, intelligence and force protection has grown rapidly in re-cent years. One system uses camera-equipped pilotless drones guided by Global Positioning System satellites to fl y route reconnaissance and other security missions to deter insur-gent attacks.

Another system, the Force 21 Battle Command and Control, Brigade and Below tracking network (FBCB2), was deployed in Iraq in 2006 by Fort Carson’s 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. Using GPS, the FBCB2 allows Soldiers inside their Humvees, Bradleys and Abrams to view computer screen maps showing their loca-tion and those of all friendly units in their operation.

Th e FBCB2 is one of several variations of systems collectively called “Blue Force Tracking.” Th ese systems allow troops to identify one another, coordinate movements and reduce the potential for friendly-fi re ca-sualties. Th eir use has grown from about 1,000 tracking units deployed in 2003 to 50,000 currently.

Th e Army is determined to play a more ac-tive role in refi ning these space-based systems and designing new ones to meet warfi ghters’ needs, General Campbell said. Th e Army’s G-3 (Operations and Plans) has directed the general to increase the number of Army space operations offi cers. Th e larger cadre would provide offi cers deeper into combat forma-tions, to the brigade level, to help units adopt the new systems.

Army space offi cers would also become more active in the largely Air Force domain of satellite concept and design, “so that we can be on the ground fl oor in developing concepts ... and shaping them to serve all the users that they need to serve,” General Campbell said.

General Campbell has already placed Army offi cers inside the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif., where new systems are designed. He is pressing for a similar Army presence in Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base.

General Campbell said he is encouraged that many of those coming into the Army’s space program are from combat services and bring fi rsthand experience with them.

“Th at’s an important perspective to have when you’re 8,000 miles away from where the war’s occurring,” General Campbell said. “Th ey have great insight and great instincts in what those warfi ghters need.”

In addition to his work there, Sergeant Sturm also deployed to Camp Bucca. During his deployment, his HUMM-V team was struck by an improvised explosive device. He earned the Air Force Combat Action and Purple Heart medals for his actions taken and wounds sustained.

Master Sgt. George Price Jr., explosive ordnance disposal fl ight chief, 45th Civil Engineer Squadron, Patrick AFB, Fla. He is a community leader, an example for his peers as an NCO Academy distinguished graduate, and his military awards include two Bronze Star Medals, the Air Force Combat Action Medal and Army Combat Action Badge.

Sergeant Price said being named was an honor and a privilege.

“Th is award is not so much for me as it is for my command, my base — everything we stand for,” he said. “I am very humbled.”

Master Sgt. Michael R. Primo, fi rst sergeant, Space Innovation and Development Center, Schriever AFB. He be-came a fi rst sergeant in 2005 and was assigned to Keesler AFB, Miss. He led a 12-man shel-ter management team to activate a shelter that housed more than 670 people during Hurricane Katrina. His military awards include two Air Force Meritorious Service Medals, four Air Force Commendation Medals as well as the Humanitarian Service Medal.

“What they have done for us, on behalf of us,

makes me proud to be among them,” said General Kehler.

Th ese four will go on to compete for honors as the Air Force 12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year.

Th e Air Force Association honors the 12 Outstanding Airmen at its annual conven-tion in Washington, D.C., according to the AFA Web site. Th e program was initiated at the AFA’s 10th annual national conference, held in New Orleans in 1956 — the chief master sergeant of the Air Force, a general offi cer and selected major command-level command chiefs form the selection board. Th e Air Force Chief of Staff reviews the selections.

Th e 12 Outstanding Airmen are awarded the Outstanding Airman ribbon with the bronze service star device and wear the Outstanding Airman badge for one year. Th ey also serve on the Air Force Enlisted Council for one year. Guidelines for submis-sions are outlined in Air Force Instruction 36-2805, “Special Trophies and Awards.”

Schriever Air Force Base celebrated Arbor Day and its 10th Annual Tree City USA Award April 22 at the Child Development Center.

“Today we are planting a Colorado Blue Spruce and making another investment in your future,” said 50th Space Wing Commander Col. Terry Djuric at the event. “Our commitment here at Schriever to planting trees and being a part of Tree City USA is a great way to show Schriever’s commitment to our environment.”

At the ceremony, the base was hon-ored with its 10th Annual Tree City USA Award. Th e Tree City USA program, sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, identifi es a community that cares about its environment, providing steps to the management of its tree resources.

“Arbor Day was fi rst observed for the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska. Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world,” said Jerry Th ompson, environmental fl ight’s natural resources program manager.

Mr. Th ompson said trees are a source of joy and renewal. He said trees are a renewable resource and can reduce the erosion of our top soil by wind and water, cut heating and cooling cost, clean the air, produce oxygen and provide habitat for the wildlife.

Arbor Day began with one man’s vi-sion and the help of his neighbors. In 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed the fi rst Arbor Day to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture.

“Th e special thing about old J. Sterling was that even though he didn’t see trees, what he really saw was where trees could be,” said Andy Schlosberg of the Colorado State Forest Service. “He fi gured that it was up to him and his neighbors to plant them.”

April 22, Mr. Morton’s birthday, was selected as the date of observance aft er Arbor Day was named a legal holiday in Nebraska. Other states passed legislation to observe

Arbor Day, and the tradition began in schools nationwide in 1882. National Arbor Day is the last Friday in April, but each state celebrates its own Arbor Day according to the best tree planting times.

Th e Tree City USA program provides direction, techni-cal assistance, public attention, and national recognition for urban and community forestry programs and cur-rently more than three thousand communities have been named a Tree City, according to the National Arbor Day Foundation’s Web site, www.arborday.org.

PHOENIX — “One more won’t hurt me.”

“I can drive home fi ne.”“I only drink on the weekends.”“I don’t drink as much as everyone else.”Th ese are statements people sometimes

use to justify their excessive drinking. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, roughly 14 million American adults abuse alcohol, whether as habitual drinkers or less-frequent binge drinkers.

Excessive alcohol consumption, whether over a short period or long period of time, increases the chance for accidental injury and death, and may cause an increased chance for health problems such as heart disease, liver disease and stroke.

Why do people drink excessively?For most adults, moderate drinking (up

to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women) causes few, if any, problems. Some situations, howev-er, constitute no safe amount of alcohol: while pregnant, when driving, while under 21 years of age, or when taking certain medications.

Many who turn to excessive drinking do so to help relieve anxiety or stress, in-cluding combat stress. A report from the NIAAA indicates “aft er a traumatic event, people oft en report using alcohol to relieve their symptoms of anxiety, irritability, and depression.”

A person can give many excuses for drink-ing excessively. For example, job stress, rela-tionship problems or experiencing the death of a friend or family member. Sometimes people drink excessively due to social factors, such as peer pressure or having the need to “fi t in.” Alcoholism can be genetic and some people are, therefore, more prone to drinking because they had a mother or father, grandmother or grandfather with alcohol dependency.

Getting helpRegardless of the reason, admitting to a

drinking problem should not cause anyone to feel ashamed. In fact, facing the truth may help those who are either addicted to or dependent on alcohol begin down the path to recovery. Often, people are reluc-tant to seek treatment for their drinking problems, thinking they can handle it on their own. Unfortunately, without treat-ment the problem can escalate quickly, resulting in severe legal, social or physi-cal consequences. The sooner treatment is sought, the better the chances are of limit-

ing long-term consequences.How can you tell if someone has a drink-

ing problem?According to the NIAAA, answering the

following four questions can help one iden-tify a drinking problem in him or herself or a loved one:

Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?

Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?

Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?

Have you ever had a drink fi rst thing in

the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, an individual can discuss their concerns with a healthcare provider right away.

Treatment optionsTh ose seeking treatment for alcohol de-

pendence or abuse have several options avail-able. Discuss all the treatment options with a primary care manager or another trusted physician.

TriCare will cover certain treatments for substance abuse. To use TriCare cov-erage, active-duty servicemembers must access all care through a primary care manager. Active-duty family members with TriCare Prime have coverage for up to eight group therapy visits with a refer-ral from their PCM. Continuing therapy after the eighth visit will require a request from your PCM and authorization from TriWest. Certain other inpatient or other treatments will require a referral and prior authorization.

Any applicable co-pays or cost-shares (based on the sponsor’s status and TriCare program) will apply. Use network providers for the least out-of-pocket costs. Specifi c coverage and limitations by fi lling out a profi le can be viewed at www.tricare.mil/mybenefi t. Choose the “Mental Health and Behavior” tab, follow the link for “Types of Treatment” and then “Treatment for Substance Use Disorders” on the left -side menu.

FORT CARSON, Colo. — Th e USO, since 1941, has been many things: a home away from home to our troops, an environment to decompress and relax and a place to enjoy free telephone cards, internet and e-mail ac-cess, game room, movie theater and so much more; all for free.

With the USO coming to Colorado Springs and its construction underway, the excite-ment is building for the organization’s soft opening in early August 2008. Making this happen is the heart and soul of the organiza-tion: it’s talented volunteers. Th e USO’s vol-unteers, in more than 132 centers worldwide, are the staple of the organization. Volunteers total more than 26,000 and continue to grow everyday.

Ft. Carson’s USO is in the process of re-cruiting volunteers for the organization’s new center here. Th e USO meets the pressing military needs of servicemen and women by mobilizing caring Coloradoans in assisting the center. Every day, hundreds of people fi nd ways to make meaningful, rewarding contri-butions to the USO worldwide. And here in Southern Colorado, the USO continues that tradition. For those in the Southern Colorado area, here are a few ways they can contribute to America’s fi ghting men and women:

USO Center — Daily duties will include staffi ng the center, assisting with movies, dis-tribution of laptop computers, upkeep of the center, ensuring all snacks are distributed, catering to our servicemen and women and most importantly, greeting military members with the utmost respect and a smile.

Calendar ProjectsChoose from fl exibly-scheduled volunteer

projects every month, the ideal choice for individuals.

Annual EventsTh e perfect way for individuals and groups

to make a diff erence in just one day.Corporate ServiceOff ers a wide variety of ways for companies

to engage their employees in volunteerism.Community GrapevineIn addition to the USO’s year-round op-

erating of the center, the Ft. Carson USO will have a multitude of events volunteers can assist with. From dinners and galas, pic-nics, walk-a-thons, golf tournaments, RV tour and school fundraising drives, the USO provides the perfect way for individuals and groups to make a diff erence in just one day or every day.

When Coloradoans volunteer, they are giving something back to their community and to America’s brave men and women in uniform. What people may not realize is that volunteering also benefi ts them as an indi-vidual. Th ere are many good reasons to get involved with the USO, some of the benefi ts of volunteering include:

Making new friends Exploring career and personal interests Earning great recommendations for fu-

ture employment or college applications Developing marketable job skills Building a resume Enriching education Uncovering hidden skills and talents Increasing one’s self-confi dence Having fun

Making a diff erence and demonstrat-ing one’s commitment to America’s armed forces

For more information on volunteering at the Ft. Carson USO, contact Phil Martinez at [email protected] or (719) 306-1898 to be a part of a rewarding experience of sup-porting America’s troops.

2nd SOPS lit up the net in volleyball action taking home this year’s championship title, but not without fi erce competition from last year’s champs, 22nd SOPS.

In the semi finals, 2nd SOPS beat 4th SOPS in a three game thriller April 22. 2nd SOPS had the mo-mentum in the first game and won 25-16, then lost a close second game 23-25. 4th SOPS pulled ahead in the third game 14-13 but 2nd SOPS gained back the momentum with a 16-14 win.

Also in semi fi nal league play, 22nd SOPS landed a spot in the championship match defeating 50th SCS in two games, 25-14 and 25-19. Th ere was hope of a back to back championship for 22nd SOPS.

22nd SOPS fought hard in the championship match April 24, but couldn’t pull ahead. 22nd SOPS’ players Korey Kuykendall and Craig Armogida had several kills with sets from Clay Pinyerd. But it was 2nd SOPS’ controlled passing and high-powered off ense that gave

them a two-game win, 25-23 and 25-19.Heath Busche of 2nd SOPS said their game plan was

to stop the 22nd SOPS middle attack combination of Clay Pinyerd setting to John Baldwin. His team had one successful block against Baldwin.

Busche fi nished off the second game with some hard serves to give his team a fi nal victory.

“Th e championship match was by far our best match of the year,” Busche said. “As a team, we made very few mental mistakes, and our passing was as good as we’ve produced in years.”

22nd SOPS’ coach John Baldwin said the teams were very evenly matched.

“Our passing could have been better and we gave up several points on service errors,” he said. “Against a team like 2 SOPS, even one bad serve can be catastrophic.”

Just about any given Saturday on military installations throughout Colorado Springs there are children playing in a youth sport program; be it basketball, soccer, baseball or fl ag football.

Th is is the time of year for soccer. Les Stewart, R.P. Lee Youth Center sports director, manages schedules for more than 170 children ranging in age from three to 12 years old.

During the games parents, family and friends sit on the sidelines cheering on their child’s team. Sometimes the adults get more excited than the children do, and off er armchair coaching throughout the game. However, sitting on the sidelines doesn’t have to be the only place they can be.

“We are always looking for coaches for all sports,” Mr. Stewart said. “We try to have two coaches per team. Th e coaches can be civilian, retired, military — anybody can volunteer to coach.”

Some volunteer for their child and some volunteer for the love of the game.

“I just have fun and I love the game. I use to be a goal keep-er,” said Navy Senior Chief Evan Culter, USNORTHCOM and Saber Blue coach.

Each team has practice once a week and in most cases one game on the weekend. Th e children learn the fundamentals of soccer as well as sportsmanship and teamwork.

“Th is is the fi rst time I’ve coached little kids,” said Staff Sgt Reyes Soltero, 527th Space Aggressor Squadron and Saber Blue coach. “I enjoy seeing the game from their point of view.”

For a complete list of upcoming sport seasons in need of coaches go to www.21svs.com. For more information, contact Mr. Stewart at 556-5242.

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AFPN) — Th e Air Force Academy football team, along with men’s basketball, wrestling and men’s and women’s outdoor track and fi eld were honored by the NCAA for being in the top 10 percent of their respective sports in the Academic Performance Reports, released recently.

Air Force continues to be one of the leaders in academic excellence among the Mountain West Conference. Th e foot-ball team’s score of 975 ranked highest among the nine-team MWC. Air Force is one of only fi ve football playing Division I institutions to post a four-year APR in the top 10 percent nationally while playing in a major conference with the football bowl subdivision. Duke, Rice, Rutgers and Stanford are the other four.

Air Force football also tops the MWC in the other NCAA

academic benchmark of graduation success rate. Th e Falcons have a 92 percent graduation success rate. Th e rate is more than 20 percent higher than any other school within the conference.

Th e APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete.

Th e APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High-performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 965 to a perfect 1,000.

Multi-year APR scores for all 6,110 Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition awards, will be announced on May 6.

Colonel Schiess said. “Th e M-code provides anti-jam capability, and as we saw we were going into a jamming environment, we knew we’d need the capability sooner than it would have been available on the GPS IIF satellites.”

Lockheed-Martin, at the Air Force’s request, pulled some of its satellites that were ready for launch out of storage to add the M-code, f lex power and L2C capability.

GPS IIR(M)-20 will also transmit on a frequency called L5, which is primar-ily designed for aviation safety-of-life applications.

“Lockheed-Martin modif ied this satellite (per the Air Force’s request) to transmit on the L5 frequency so we can demonstrate to the International

Telecommunication Union (the United Nations body that governs use of satellite communication frequencies) that we’re using the frequency,” Colonel Schiess said. “We had to start using the frequency or we’d lose the ability to say it’s ours.” The L5 payload aboard the IIR satellite will provide a demonstration signal that se-cures exclusive protection of the L5 signal spectrum for U.S. use.

GPS IIR(M)-20 is the last IIR(M) satellite the Air Force received due to the L-5 modifi -cation, but it will not be the last IIR(M) satel-lite to launch. GPS IIR(M)-20 is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station June 30. Th e last IIR(M) satellite to launch, GPS IIR(M)-21, is scheduled for lift off Sept. 11.

In an interview with Spacefl ight Now mag-azine, Dave Podlesney, the GPS programs director at Lockheed-Martin, described the handoff as “bittersweet.”

“Th ere’s sadness, but there’s also a sense of pride in being able to accomplish something of this nature,” Mr. Podlesney said.

LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. (AFPN) — May 2 marks 20 years since the last B-1B Lancer was delivered to the Air Force, and today commanders consider it one of the most valuable aircraft in Iraq.

Since 2003, the once-nuclear-weapon-carrying bomber has maintained a continuous presence in Southwest Asia aft er the Air Force modifi ed it to carry numerous conven-tional bombs.

Th e Lancer’s effi ciency in urban ground combat is peculiar considering its designers never envisioned it for such a job, said Lt. Col. James Johnson, Air Combat Command B-1 weapons system chief. Th e bomber, he said, was designed to make fl ights around the globe from four garrison bases to deliver nuclear ordnance. Now it’s an inter-theater aircraft trading long-range sorties for loiter time in Iraqi air space.

“Upgrades enabled it to use smaller bombs and more of them,” said Senior Master Sgt. Chuck Klein, Air Combat Command B-1 aircraft manager. “[Th e B-1] uses precision smart bombs to support troops in contact.”

Operating at approximately 20,000 feet, the B-1 waits patiently with up to 35 tons of precision-guided bombs. When ground troops encounter the enemy it can engage in minutes because of its readiness and speed.

In the fi rst six months of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the bomber delivered almost 40 percent of the bomb tonnage in only fi ve percent of the sorties. Nearly fi ve years later, the B-1 sorties increased by 25 percent, and Air Force offi cials dubbed it the most valuable aircraft for OIF in March 2007.

Other Air Force bombers have their advantage: the B-2 Spirit boasts stealth and the B-52 Stratofortress is low cost to operate.

But the B-1 earned its popularity by trumping those bomb-ers in speed, range and payload, said Sergeant Klein. Th ose attributes are what make it a perfect fi t for the war in Iraq.

“Th e airplane can do the job continuously and has the

right mix of weapons,” he said, adding that its long loiter time and massive payload make it a fast lifesaver for ground troops.

In fact, the B-1 is so eff ective there are times when it doesn’t even need to drop a bomb.

Army offi cials from the 82nd Airborne 2nd Battalion 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, who returned from Iraq in November, said a B-1 show of force was more than enough to put the enemy’s head down during gun battles. A show of force occurs when an aircraft fl ies by low and fast releasing fl ares to intimidate enemy combatants. Smaller fi ghter aircraft are usually used for this purpose; however, the 200,000 pound Lancer makes for an intense fl y-by, Army offi cials said.

Despite the B-1’s age, its eff ectiveness in Iraq prompts the Air Force to keep a sharp technological edge on the Lancer. Upgrades to the B-1 are ongoing initiatives that modify the airframe with the latest technology, according to Colonel Johnson. Currently B-1s are being equipped with the Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod, which allows pilots to identify tactical targets at greater ranges.

Other accomplishments of the B-1 include the breaking of 51 world records. Sergeant Klein said many of these records include carrying large amounts of weight at fast speeds from one point to another.

“It’s been the bomber of choice for [Central Air Forces],” he said. “It’s the right bomber for the mission in Iraq, which is close-air support.”

TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. (AFPN) — NASA offi cials brought the Super Guppy — a uniquely-designed aircraft used to transport cargo, including parts of the space shuttle program — to Tinker AFB in mid-April so that maintainers here could inspect the aircraft and perform some repairs.

According to NASA Chief Flight Engineer Henry Taylor, offi cials chose Tinker AFB because it has a great reputation for having lots of capabilities when it comes to doing sig-nifi cant maintenance.

“We wanted to go someplace where we could have the kind of expertise and support to support a one-of-a-kind airplane and Tinker has that,” Mr. Taylor said.

Project planners here estimate it should take about 14,770

hours to inspect and fi x the plane, which has never been fi xed prior to this. Th at equates to an Aug. 22 goal of completing inspections and some repairs, with a drop dead date of Sept. 29, unless workers fi nd something that requires extensive repairs.

Debra Bennett, lead Super Guppy project pre-planner, was part of a Tinker AFB contingent that visited NASA in February 2007 to discuss the Super Guppy.

“Th is is the fi rst time the Air Force has gotten involved, as everything has been done by contractors,” Ms. Bennett said. “Tinker AFB, in particular, was selected because we had so many diff erent things we can do right here.”

Super Guppy electrician Daniel Th ompson agreed.“When it comes out of Tinker it should be capable of

handling its duties for the next 10 years,” he said.NASA personnel will remain on site while base personnel

work on the plane.

NASA offi cials turn to Air Force for ‘Guppy’ evaluation

Workers in the 566th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., prepare to inspect NASA’s Super Guppy. Its hinged nose can be opened 110 degrees for cargo loading. NASA offi cials brought the unique aircraft to Tinker AFB because of the capability of Tinker’s workforce to inspect and repair the large aircraft.

MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFPN) — Airmen from the 23rd Wing at Moody AFB performed a maritime rescue in the Gulf of Mexico April 25 that saved six lives.

Moody Airmen responded by providing two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters from the 41st Rescue Squadron, a 71st RQS HC-130P King and pararescue assets from the 38th RQS.

Th e wing received the support request from the Joint Personnel Recovery Center at Tyndall AFB, Fla., around 11 a.m. Th e request was in response to a report the Coast Guard received from the Eos, an 800-foot Panamanian-fl agged tanker ship operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Th e Eos discov-ered and assisted a life raft with migrants in distress.

Th e crew of the Pave Hawks performed a 10-hour mis-sion, supported by the aerial refueling and command and control capabilities of the HC-130, and retrieved six of the

stranded individuals from the tanker 260 miles south of New Orleans.

Th e response required four sets of aerial refueling and the close coordination of members from the 23rd Wing, JPRC, Coast Guard and medical facilities in Louisiana.

Upon the Pave Hawks’ arrival to the Eos, pararescuemen from the 38th RQS were lowered from the helicopters to medically assess and treat the individuals.

Subsequently, fi ve adults and one child were hoisted from the tanker and transported to a hospital in New Orleans.

Following the rescue, all Moody-assigned units returned safely.

Th e 23rd Wing is responsible for all Air Force active duty combat search and rescue assets in the continental United States and routinely supports civilian rescue assets around the country.

“I love to swim.” Those wordsare amazing coming fromBrandon, a vibrant 13 year old doc-tors thought would never walk. Hewas diagnosed with cerebral palsyshortly after birth. Today he is asplayful and mischievous as anyother kid his age.

With United Way providing fund-ing, the Cerebral Palsy Associationhelped cover out-of-pocket ex-penses of therapy and providedwheelchairs and walkers forBrandon over the years.

Roller coasters are Brandon’sbiggest thrill. When he describeshis favorites, his eyes light up.Brandon has to work hard everyday just to keep moving, and with alittle help from his “friend,” he’llcontinue to push forward.
