From the very beginning of your enlisted military career, you are bombarded with training. First,

there is basic military training, then techni-cal training, followed by career develop-ment courses and on-the-job training. Additionally, as soon as you complete your CDCs, there is a strong push to complete a Community College of the Air Force degree.

There have always been earmarks andgoals set for education and training inorder to achieve career progression, butwhy? Is it just to create another boxthat needs to be fi lled?

The answer is no. It is to create mem-bers who are experts in not only their jobs, but who can become an educated group of citizens. The more knowledge we have, the greater the effect will be on perform-ing and accomplishing our mission.

March commemorates Women’s His-tory Month, and this year the theme is “Women’s Education – Women’s Empow-erment.” Education is one of the best means to help you stand out from the crowd and set you up for success so the leaders around you will feel confi dent in empowering you. The pursuit of educa-tion shows a willingness and propensity for learning and bettering oneself.

In my unit alone, the women around me hold CCAF degrees, bachelor of sci-ence degrees in mathematics and master

degrees in business administration, and others are pursuing degrees in businessadministration, human resources, informa-tion technology or aeronautical science, toname a few. It was really inspiring whenI started fi nding out what everyone’seducational goals were.

A good education is essential for yourcareer both in and out of uniform, sotake advantage of the education benefi tsyou’ve earned. While serving, memberscan take advantage of $4,500 a year intuition assistance.

There is also the GI Bill, which is a big part of our education benefi ts. The GI Bill includes the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the Mont-gomery GI Bill for active-duty service mem-bers and veterans, and the Montgomery GI Bill for selected reservists. There are also many other programs such as the Reserve Education Assistance Program and Spouse and Dependents Education Assistance.

More and more schools are also taking advantage of the Yellow Ribbon Program.

There are also state programs depend-ing on which state you claim as your placeof legal residency, such as The HazelwoodAct here in Texas.

There are no limits to what women can accomplish in the military. The percentageof women in the U.S. military has gone from 1.6 percent in 1973 to 14.6 percent as of September 2011. Women continue tograduate from the military academies ofthe Army, Navy and Air Force.

A woman even graduated at the top ofher class at the U.S. Air Force Academy in1986.

In 2008, the armed services promotedthe fi rst female four-star general, Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody. In 2011, Maj. Gen. Margaret Woodward was the fi rst female commanderto lead a U.S. military campaign.

As Marian Wright Edelman, an Ameri-can children’s rights activist, once said, “Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community andworld better than you found it.”

MiCare improves health care for AF patients

LugoSantiago to focus on enlisted corps matters at JBSA installations

By Gary Pomeroy and Jon StockAir Force Surgeon General Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – Patients at Air Force medical treatment facilities will soon communicate securely and privately with their health care teams anywhere with the Air Force-wide expansion of secure messaging.

Secure messaging will be available to patients through what is known as the MiCare portal. The new portal facilitates secure, online communications between patients and their health care team.

MiCare improves the quality of health care patients receive and provides a mechanism for better access to their own health information at whatever time is most convenient to them.

The tool streamlines communication and access to information between offi ce visits, reducing the frequency of offi ce visits for some patients.

It will also reduce reliance on telephone calls, providing more convenience for the patients, Air Force Medical Service offi cials said.

“MiCare makes routine health care more convenient for our patients, and reduces unnecessary visits to the MTF, thus freeing up our providers to see more acute patients. This is an important goal in Air Force Patient-Centered Medical

Home,” said Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Charles B. Green, Air Force Surgeon General.

Benefi ts from MiCare’s secure messaging tool include patient access anytime, anywhere to:

communicate privately with their • health care team online without waiting in phone trees or playing phone tag,

ask their health care team for • advice about non-urgent symptoms,

receive medical test and lab • results,

request medication renewals,• request a copy of immunization •

records, and access physician-approved health •

resource links at their convenience.The health care team will be able to

contact patients via MiCare to provide:appointment reminders,• follow ups on a condition without •

requiring a trip to the MTF,

medication alerts and pertinent • prescription refi ll information,

medical test and referral results,• notifi cations regarding fl u vac-•

cinations, school and sports physicals, MTF closure dates, and more.

In addition, AFMS offi cials said, in the near future MiCare will offer patients secure access to their personal health record.

The PHR feature will allow patients to capture medical information in a central, online location.

Offi cials emphasized that this has not been an option for patients in the past, making it diffi cult for them to keep track of health information coming from different doctors, treatment locations, emergency providers and overseas stations.

Since MiCare is a patient-driven service, benefi ciaries must register with their MTF to have an active account.

Deployment of MiCare to Air Force hospitals and clinics is underway and will progress through the remainder of 2012. More information will be coming directly from local MTFs in the coming months.

To fi nd out when it will be available in your area, visit www.sg.af.mil/MiCare, or contact the Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center or your closest MTF.

Adenoviruses have been an important cause of upper respiratory infections in basic military train-ing for decades. There are 50 different variations of adenovirus, called serotypes, and they cause a variety of illnesses, including the common cold, con-junctivitis and pneumonia.

Even though most infections are very mild, ad-enoviruses can spread rapidly in the close living conditions of military recruits. Strict infection con-trol principles must be enforced daily to prevent outbreaks of illness, as a single sneeze can deposit viruses on a doorknob or bedrail that can remain infectious for two weeks.

Until 1996 a vaccine against Adenovirus sero-types 4 and 7 was given to all Air Force trainees to reduce their risk of infection. At that time the sole manufacturer of the vaccine ceased production citing an unfavorable cost-benefi t analysis as their only customer was the military. Without a vaccine, Adenovirus 4 returned as the major cause of URIs in Air Force basic military trainees, accounting for up to 90 percent of all cases by 2011.

A cold or sore throat from Adenovirus 4 would only sideline a recruit for two days, on average. But as the number of infections grew, so did the direct

impact to the training mission and medical costs. In 2011, an average of 115 trainees per month needed to be temporarily removed from training to recuper-ate from a URI, resulting in more than 4,000 lost training days at a cost of almost $1 million. Medi-cal costs were also signifi cant, with outpatient costs alone estimated at $1.2 million per year.

Good news arrived during the summer of 2011, however, with the announcement that the Depart-

ment of Defense would again receive an adenovirus vaccine for BMTs. Developed by Barr Pharmaceuti-cals, the two-pill vaccine would once again offer pro-tection against Adenovirus serotypes 4 and 7. The fi rst doses of the new vaccine were given on Nov. 9, 2011, to almost 800 new Air Force trainees.

While only four months have passed, the vacci-nation campaign has already had a tremendous ef-fect. The rate of upper respiratory infections in basic trainees has fallen a staggering 87 percent. Further, laboratory studies have confi rmed that Adenovirus 4 has all but disappeared from the basic trainee population on Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. Pre-ventive medicine experts were anticipating a rise in infections caused by other viruses once Adenovirus 4 was better controlled, but this has not yet been seen.

Despite the enormous success, preventive medi-cine physicians at JBSA-Lackland caution that this vaccine will not eliminate all upper respiratory in-fections in basic training. There are a multitude of other viruses and bacteria that regularly circulate around the base and local civilian community that can spread quickly among trainees. Therefore, it is essential that training instructors continue to teach trainees about the basic infection control practices

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas – The legacy of aviation pioneer Maj. Gen. Benja-min D. Foulois was remembered with a wreath-laying ceremony March 2, just a few hundred feet from where the man who helped usher in the dawn of military fl ight made his his-toric journey 102 years ago.

Foulois, an Army lieutenant at the time, piloted the fi rst military air-plane, Signal Corps Aircraft Number One, into the air over the Fort Sam Houston parade fi elds at 9:30 a.m. March 2, 1910.

Signal Corps Aircraft Number One was a 30-horsepower two-propeller pusher-type biplane made by Orville and Wilbur Wright for the Army Sig-nal Corps. Its wingspan was 36 feet 5 inches and its length was 30 feet 8 inches.

Each year, the Stinsons Flight No. 2 Order of Daedalians and the Jack Dibrell, Alamo Chapter of the Army Aviation Association of America hold a wreath-laying ceremony near the Fort Sam Houston fl agpole.

At that spot, there is a marker commemorating that time in history when Foulois, who taught himself to fl y via correspondence with the Wright Brothers, slipped the surly bonds of Earth and piloted the frag-ile aircraft a total of 7 minutes, 30 seconds.

The fl ight ended at 9:37 a.m., with Foulois attaining the height of 200 feet and circling the area at a speed of 30 mph.

This was the fi rst fl ight in the fi rst government-owned airplane by the fi rst military-trained pilot.

He made three other fl ights that day in the Type A Wright Flyer. For a short time, Foulois was a one-man air force.

On his fourth fl ight of the day, Foulois barely avoided disaster by nudging his “monster bird,” as one reporter called it, just out of the way of a passing car as he prepared to land. He still ended up crashing the aircraft on that fi nal fl ight.

“With the exception of the incident at the end of the last fl ight in which I had a narrow escape from colliding with an auto, the tests given the ma-chine this morning were satisfactory, and I am pleased with the outcome,” Foulois told the San Antonio Light.

In his memoirs, Foulois jokingly

stated he thought he was chosen on the basis of intellectual and technical ability, but he realized later that it was his 5-foot-6-inch stature, 126-pound weight, and map-reading ability that qualifi ed him for the fl ight.

Foulois had just 54 minutes of in-struction from Wilbur Wright at Col-lege Park, Md., when Brig. Gen. James Allen, chief of the Signal Corps, dis-patched him and the airplane to Fort Sam Houston with orders to “teach yourself to fl y,” according to Foulois’ memoir, “From the Wright Brothers to the Astronauts.”

At this year’s ceremony, the guest speaker was retired Col. Daniel W. Gower, executive director of the Dustoff Association.

Gower talked of how Foulois’ inno-vative spirit and determination made him a hero of his.

“I don’t think Foulois was ever really aware of his place in history, Gower said. “The great leaders usu-ally aren’t. They just do their jobs.”

The Dustoff Association dates back to the Korean War and was more ful-ly developed during the Vietnam War, resulting in an unprecedented surviv-al rate for combat injured troops.

Today, an American Marine or Sol-dier wounded in action has a 95 per-cent chance of surviving, due in large part to the rapid response of highly trained helicopter medical evacua-tion crews.

Dustoff helicopters fl y unarmed, and air crews save the lives of Ameri-can and coalition troops as well as civilians and enemy forces.

Gower, whose last military assign-ment was as president of the U.S. Army Medical Board at the Army Medical Department Center and School, retired in 1998. He then be-came deputy director of the board as a civilian in 2004.

Gower has recently been assisting as a technical advisor on an Arrow-head Films production, a one-hour feature to tell the story of Army he-licopter medical evacuation for the U.S. Army Medical Department Cen-ter for History and Heritage.

The fi lm will document the history and legacy of the life-saving role of “Dustoff” from its origins to the pres-ent.

“Arrowhead Films has a proven history of telling the story of the American warrior, and extensive knowledge of the history, mission and people of Dustoff. The story is in good hands,” Gower said.

Foulois remembered

Wearing specially designed camoufl aged jerseys bearing the 37th Training Wing organizational shield, the San Antonio Rampage professional hock-ey team took the ice Saturday at the AT&T Center with two goals in mind – win the game and honor San Antonio’s service men and women at the ninth annual Military Appreciation Night.

They accomplished both.The team defeated its opponent, the Houston

Aeros, 2-1, and treated the military community to an unforgettable event.

The Rampage offered military service members, including veterans, a special $10 ticket for any avail-able seat in the house when they presented a valid military identifi cation card at the box offi ce for the game.

San Antonio has been known as “Military City, U.S.A.” for decades because of the many different military bases located in the community. Members from various branches of the U.S. armed forces have called San Antonio home while serving their country

in the Alamo City and many men and women have come to town to embark upon a journey that exem-plifi es bravery, sacrifi ce and selfl essness.

During the game, those same members of the armed forces were able to witness, fi rsthand, how much their efforts are valued by the people of San Antonio when the Rampage hosted Military Appre-ciation Night.

“Our commitment to them is to do this every year and create awareness of the sacrifi ces that they’re making on a daily basis,” said Ryan Snider, Rampage director of hockey operations.

The military-themed jerseys the team wore were auctioned off after the game with proceeds benefi t-ing Operation Comfort and the Rampage Sled Hock-ey Team. Last year, the Rampage raised $44,000 to benefi t San Antonio’s military community and the team has raised more than $180,000 over the past eight years.

Operation Comfort is a nonprofi t organization that works with wounded service members coming from Iraq and Afghanistan who are recovering at nearby Brooke Army Medical Center. Operation Comfort runs the San Antonio Rampage Sled Hockey Team,

the fi rst team formed that consists of all wounded military service members.

“The money helps them with their travels, ice time and operating costs,” said Snider. “It’s an expensive sport, so we’re able to keep them going. It’s some-thing we’re really proud of.”

The Rampage has also set up events with the team and Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in years past. Last fall, the Rampage organized a team-training event in which players went through the same rig-orous exercises that Air Force trainees and special tactics students endure.

“We put these heavy backpacks on during the training and I think I almost fell over and died,” David Marshall, Rampage forward, jokingly said. “It was good to hang out with those guys. They’re the ones that go out and make it possible for us to live our lives freely.”

As for Rampage Military Appreciation Night, Mar-shall is one of many players who were excited to be a part of the event.

“Events like these put things into perspective a bit. We play a game for a living and these guys are going into battle,” said Marshall.

When you can’t fi nd a thing to wear to that up-coming awards banquet or ball, why spend all that hard-earned money on a dress that may only be worn once or twice?

You don’t have to travel far, far away to fi nd a never-ending supply of fabulous dresses to choose from; they can be found for free to anyone, active duty or retired, with a military ID card.

Cinderella’s Closet – located at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland’s One Stop Facility alongside the Airman’s Attic, Thrift Shop, and Women, Infants and Children Services – offers the “happily ever after” solution any fairy godmother would approve.

Lackland Enlisted Spouses’ Club member, Kris-tie Williams, envisioned a program that would al-low women in the military community to borrow dresses for banquets, balls, dining-outs and awards ceremonies.

Starting in 2010 with around 150 dresses donated by the enlisted spouses’ club at Fort Hood, Texas, Cinderella’s Closet has grown signifi cantly in the last year, now offering a selection of more than 400 dresses ranging from wedding dresses and formal gowns to cocktail dresses in all sizes.

“Dresses are so expensive and our group wanted to do something to help families save money,” said

Williams, who also wanted young women to benefi t from the service for homecomings and proms. “Yes-terday we fi tted a mom and her two daughters for a special family event.”

On average, the closet provides service to about 15 customers monthly, but when the base is hosting military balls or during prom season, that number can double or triple.

“We have fi tted young Airmen’s spouses, generals’ spouses and everyone in between to include teenage daughters,” said Linda Slater, an enlisted spouses’ club member and regular volunteer at the closet. “All that we ask our customers is that they return their selected dress back within 10 days of their event, dry cleaned.”

Slater explained, customers decrease the cost of attending a function, wedding, or prom and this increases the chances for people to attend events, which may be good news for younger Airmen or anyone who’s strapped for cash.

“Our repeat customers are increasing because they know Cinderella’s Closet enhances their oppor-tunities to have fun and look fabulous,” said Slater. “We encourage them to take pictures so we can put them in our guest photo album. We are proud to say we (supplied) our fi rst wedding gown recently and our bride looked absolutely stunning.”

With donations from the JBSA community, the Cinderella’s Closet staff hopes it will continue to ex-pand.

“We truly appreciate the support and donations we receive from our big military community,” said Williams. “Who says fairy tales don’t come true?”

Cinderella’s Closet is open Monday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and by appointment only 6-8 p.m.

What’s Happening

On the web www.lacklandfss.com

By Jose T. Garza IIISports Editor

It was a good March 2 for Headquarters Air Force Services Agency, as the orga-nization took trophies in both individual and unit categories at the Joint Base San Antonio Top III’s 2012 Bi-Annual Push-Up-A-Thon.

AFSVA raised $1,444.35 at the fundrais-ing event, which was held at the Chaparral Fitness Center. The money will be used to support Top III programs like promotion ceremonies, academic scholarships, and quarterly and annual award functions.

Timothy Hardy, AFSVA chief resource manager, completed 145 push-ups and raised the most money, individually total-ing $721.85.

Hardy described how his arms were feeling after completing the push-up con-test in one word – sore.

“My arms were hurting and I was tired,

but I feel pretty good about winning,” he said.

Hardy’s co-workers, Angela and Adrian Wright, won individual awards, placing fi rst in the women’s and men’s 30-or-over cat-egories, respectively.

Pointing to her arms or “guns” as she called them, Angela was drained after completing 150 push-ups to win in her cat-egory.

“My guns were hurting,” she said. “It was going good toward the end but my muscles started locking up. What (kept) me going was the adrenaline.”

Her husband Adrian, who completed 265 push-ups in the event, commended the JBSA-Lackland Top III for organizing the competition.

“It’s nice for the Top III to put this on for the spirit of camaraderie for the troops,” he said. “I really enjoyed the competition and I look forward to competing again in the future.”

The Wrights and their friend and co-worker Tech. Sgt. Shaerica Waters, who placed second in the 18- to 29-year-old women’s category by completing 111 push-ups, train with each other to get in better physical shape.

Motivating each other to succeed during the Push-Up-A-Thon was no different.

“We all (moved) here (from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.) so motivating each other to do well today is no different than what we normally do,” Waters said.

Keeping the team spirit alive, Hardy said winning in the individual category of the Push-Up-A-Thon wasn’t about obtaining personal accolades.

“I am happy to do this for the JBSA-Lack-land Top III,” he said. “This isn’t about me or the team. It’s about giving money back to the Top III, and some of the things they do as far as scholarships and fundraisers.”

Another Push-Up-A-Thon fundraising event is planned for later this year.

WALKING FITNESS CLASS

The Warhawk Health and Wellness Center will hold a six-week walking fi tness class at the Warhawk Fitness Center track Monday through April 25. The program boosts overall health and wellness.

VOLLEYBALL

MARCH 9, 2012 TALESPINNER PAGE 15sports


By Jose T. Garza IIISports Editor

The 802nd Mission Support Group handed 737th Training Group its fi rst loss with a 21-17, 21-13 win in women’s intramural volleyball play Tuesday at the Warhawk Fitness Center. MSG im-proves to 3-1 for the season.

For Mary Medley, Tuesday’s win harkened to her playing days at Ed W. Clark High School in Las Vegas.

She spiked the ball with ferocity in the middle of the second set and hit two consecutive kills to put her squad up 9-4.

“As far as killing it, all they had to do was set it up. I executed it,” she said.

Giving 737th TRG its fi rst loss was a morale booster, Massengale said.

“The win felt great and was a huge accomplishment for us,” she said. “We know what we have to do to get ready for playoffs and this win helps pump us up for it.”

Jessie Dunn led the MSG with 14 points and Bobbi Davila contributed with nine.

Being aware on offense and defense is a key communicative effort.

“We need to improve on our commu-nication (skills). Sometimes we just have

to let one another know about the holes that we are missing,” Medley said.

Communication was key in winning both sets, as MSG never trailed to the 737th. But there was some suspense.

MSG opened up a 10-4 lead in the fi rst set, before errors swayed four con-secutive points in the 737th’s favor, cut-ting the to two before MSG ended the comeback 21-17.

In the second set, MSG built up a nine-point lead and never looked back.

Medley, who has been playing volley-ball since her sophomore year in high school, fi nished with 6 points.

Playing both men’s and women’s vol-leyball, she keeps her game fi ne-tuned by practicing everyday with a bucket of volleyballs.

“I try to keep my arm fresh and fl ex-ible,” she said. “I’m also trying to im-prove on my jump game.”

An extra leap in her game will help her spike the ball over both male and female adversaries, she said.

Medley’s athletic ability and team spirit has left a good impression on Massengale.

“She’s an awesome teammate, her enthusiasm is fantastic, and she en-courages her teammates to play hard,” she said.
