By Scott PraterSchriever Sentinel

Members of the 3rd Space Operations Squadron, along with their counterparts from the 53rd Signal Battalion, waved a fond fare-well to a trusted old friend Aug. 12.

Lt. Col. Kevin Mortensen, 3 SOPS com-mander and Lt. Col. Benjamin Jones, 53rd SB commander, took the honors, shutting down the final components of the satellite simply known as “B9,” with a couple of mouse clicks.

And with that, a Defense Satellite Communications System vehicle that served

both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army for 18 years sent its last bit of vital information.

“A lot of world events happened under the footprint of this satellite,” said Lt. Col. Greg Karahalis, 3 SOPS operations officer. “It’s 18 years old and been in service on active duty longer than many of us. It’s a Soldier and an Airman and that’s how we like to talk about it. The events it has been through bare some recognition in terms of how it has performed and the contribution it’s made to extending the life of the DSCS constellation.”

Launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard an Atlas II rocket July 19, 1993,

DSCS B9 reached geosynchronous orbit on schedule and entered service following a two-month checkout.

While AF operations squadrons have con-trolled the space vehicle, its communications payload has been managed and operated by Army units. B9 served users as the West Pacific wideband satellite for most of its op-erational life.

According to Maj. Mike Reeder, 53 SB ex-ecutive officer, B9 supported multiple missions, including the Diplomatic Telecommunications

Back to school. These are the words most parents long for all summer! Well, that time is quickly approaching for many of us, and for others it’s already here. Although it can be an exciting time for parents and students alike, getting back to school brings with it certain risks that cannot be ignored.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an average of 10 school-age children are killed every year as pedestrians waiting for or boarding a bus. More school-age pedestrians have been killed between the hours of 3 and 4 p.m. than any other time of day. Although 10 children per year does not sound like very many consid-ering about 23 million kids ride the bus to school, even one death is too many. What if one of those 10 was your child? The fact that he or she would “just” be 1 of 10 would in no way console you.

The good news is that every parent and ev-ery child can do simple things to keep them safe.

Parents, help your children to understand and follow these tips:n Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.

Use caution as children return to school

The dollar, equal to just 100 pennies, has come a long way. More than 149 years ago, the first $1 notes or legal tenders were issued to the American people. Though back then, the amount of goods one could get for a dollar was a whole lot more than what those 100 pennies can buy today. With the economy the way it is, holding on to the almighty dollar, instead of frittering it away, has quickly become the norm for many families and especially many military families.

So if you haven’t jumped on the savings train just yet, don’t fret. There are steps that can be taken right now to ensure if anything arises where an individual might need that dollar or a couple hundred of them down the road, they will be prepared.

Christina Stump, an accredited financial coun-selor and a family readiness consultant with the Airman and Family Readiness Center here, advises that you can’t just start off with saving $20 here and there; you need to have a plan.

“A plan should start with you,” said Stump. “You need to assess your spending habits and realize what your money personality is.”

Do you feel like the money you have is burn-ing a hole in your pocket and have to spend it? You’re definitely a spender, advises Stump. Do you save in excess, not even spending money on the essentials? You are definitely a saver. What about the money saint? That’s the person who always seems to loan their hard-earned dollars to everyone with a sad face and sob story.

“You really need to look at your current hab-its,” said Stump. “I always suggest taking the time to actually review your bank statements every month to find out exactly where your money goes. Really take a close look at what you are spending your money on right now.”

Stump suggests that you should already know where every dollar of your income goes each month before your check comes.

“Write it down and then start planning for

next month,” said Stump. “You shouldn’t have money not accounted for. Whether it’s allotted for your savings account or for your leisure ac-tivities, it should always have a place.”

Once you know where your money goes, Stump suggests looking at your two types of expenses, fixed and variable, to see where you could possibly cut back to start saving those dollars.

Fixed expenses, explains Stump, are the ex-penses you have every month that rarely change, to include rent or mortgages, car payments and insurance, electricity, water and cable.

“Though these expenses are fixed, as in you have them every month, you still have an oppor-tunity to save,” said Stump. “Following energy conservation methods when heating and cooling your house can easily cut your electricity bill as well as cutting back on premium cable channels can significantly lower your cable bill.”

It’s the variable expenses like food, gas and personal maintenance where consumers have the most wiggle room and what really makes saving enjoyable, suggested Stump.

“You have to make saving fun, make it a game or adventure and not a chore,” said Stump.

Stump suggests if dining out tends to be your largest expense to try alternates at home like getting the recipes of your favorite restaurant foods and replicating them at home.

“You could even make it fun by having a din-ner party and inviting your friends to each bring a made at home restaurant dish,” said Stump.

The rewards will pay off now and in the future.

“Once you start meeting your financial goals, it all starts to pay off,” explained Stump. “Pretty soon it won’t be something you have to work on; it will just be completely automatic.”

On the anniversary of the dollar, keeping some of them in your pocket is a big priority. Using some of these helpful tips could really get you on the fast track to saving those dollars for a rainy day.

Commentary by Maj. Algerd Geralt23rd Space Operations Squadron,

Det. 1 commander

In my Air Force career, I’ve heard several metaphors extolling the virtues of iron and how the Air Force needs a person with an “iron will.” Iron has many desirable prop-erties. It is hard, tough and malleable. It’s also associated with integrity, which the Air Force counts first and foremost among its core values. But is an iron will right for today’s Air Force? Our nation’s demands have forced the Air Force to adapt to an ever-changing world. Flexibility and resilience have become increasingly valuable traits as we adapt to more missions that were not necessarily envisioned for the Air Force in 1947. Iron is flexible as it can be bent into a variety of shapes, but have you ever tried to bend an iron bar back into its original shape? It may get close to what it was, but it never quite returns to its original form. In fact, every time iron is bent, it loses some of its strength; effectively, making it a little less strong than it was before. What’s missing is resilience or the ability to return to the original shape after being bent while retain-ing its strength. Perhaps a rubber will is a better virtue to have in the face of a chang-ing Air Force.

Air Force personnel have been pressed into service outside of their primary Air Force specialty codes to support the mis-sion of combating terrorism during the last 10 years. Medical technicians and per-sonnel have been required to escort Third Country Nationals. Space operators have been called upon to fill traditional Army lo-gistics roles, including driving trucks in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each instance requires the flexibility to learn radically different trades and maintain a high performance standard in those trades; but what about after the deployment, series of deployments, or special assignment? Do you have the re-silience to bounce back into your career field and maintain the high performance the Air Force demands?

Many Airmen have struggled with this dilemma. I, too, leapt out of my career field to serve as a staff officer in a joint command, coordinating the rebuilding of Iraqi energy infrastructure. I had to adapt to the daunting task of communicating with military officers of all branches, State Department engineers (who sometimes struggled to understand military roles and responsibilities) and the Iraqi engineers caught in between Iraqi and

The coined phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is well known.

If that picture was a person’s smile, shouldn’t someone want those words to be a testament to their true self, like “sparkling,” “dazzling” and “white as the driven snow?”

Last week may have been National Smile Week, but the men and women working at Schriever’s Dental Clinic are working to help Team Schriever personnel put their best smile forward every day.

“A person’s first impression of you is usually formed from the moment they see you,” said Master Sgt. Chandra Cantrell, Schriever Dental Clinic noncommissioned officer in-charge. “Unfortunately, not practicing good oral hygiene can lead to cavities, bad breath, gingivitis, periodontitis, abcesses, pain and ultimately tooth loss.”

For those worried about the dangers lurking in their mouths, the dental clinic team has programs in place to help fight for a winning smile.

“The dental clinic has several programs to help with keep-ing the 50 SW’s active duty, Active Guard Reserve and tra-ditional Reservist smiles healthy,” Cantrell said. “We offer everyone an annual exam and cleaning to help detect and prevent cavities. We also have a High Caries (cavities) Risk program that is offered to members who have more than two cavities a year. Members who participate in the program are educated on the disease progression, an exam and cleaning every 6 months, fluoride treatments, and prescribed a fluoride toothpaste for use at home.”

To avoid dental diseases and unwanted cavities, mem-bers are encouraged to make good dental hygiene a family practice.

“If you make it important as a family, it becomes im-portant to the individual,” said Staff Sgt. Miranda Savino, Schriever Dental Clinic. “By educating families together on dental hygiene and making it something they can do together, it makes things like brushing and flossing easier habits to retain.”

Also, early childhood education helps prevent unnecessary fear of the dentist office.

“The best thing parents can do for their kids is to take them to the dentist early and often,” Cantrell said. “Children will become accustomed to the sights, sound, and smells of the

dental office as well as what they can expect to happen. This strategy works with great success to prevent fear of the dental office in children as young as 1-2 years old. Children who are afraid of the dentist can be helped by positive encourage-ment from their parents and treatment at a pediatric dental office where every aspect of the practice is geared towards making children feel at ease.”

Also, some dentists believe in using the “ings” concept to cultivate sparkling pearly-whites.

“If people can remember the four ‘ings’ they can be sure that their smile will stay in tip top shape,” said Capt. Brandon Bennett, Schriever Dental Clinic officer in-charge. “The ‘ings’ are: brushing, flossing, rinsing and eating. Members should brush twice a day with American Dental Association approved toothpaste. Clean between their teeth with floss

to removed plaque and food. Using an antimicrobial mouth rinse to reduce the bacterial count in the mouth helps pre-vent gingivitis. A fluoride mouth rinse will help reduce and prevent cavities. Maintaining a balanced diet can make a huge difference in your dental health.”

Proper dental hygiene shouldn’t just be remembered during National Smile week, but should be practiced everyday to ensure a good first impression and the best total health.

“Your dental care can improve your systemic health also,” Cantrell said. “Some examples are better glycemic control in diabetic patients and decreased risk of pre-term/low-birth weight babies. As a child I remember reading a poem in my dentist office that said, ‘Keep your teeth healthy, keep your teeth clean, they will return the favor by making your mouth gleam.’”

Put the best smile forward

Demonstrating the strength of the Global Positioning System constellation of satel-lites, the 2nd Space Operations Squadron is set to swap out an underperforming satel-lite with a handy spare this week.

During late May, 2 SOPS analysts be-gan noticing signs that SVN-30, a GPS IIA vehicle, was no longer maintaining the gold standard of performance. Engineers in 2 SOPS, along with their civilian part-ners from Boeing and the Aerospace Corporation began developing a plan to recall SVN-35 back into service to replace the ailing SVN-30.

“The vehicle we’re replacing has a clock that’s malfunctioning,” said Capt. Frankie Reddick, 2 SOPS assistant director of op-erations and previously an analysis flight commander within the squadron. “When its clock started to show signs of going out, our engineers knew we needed to do something because it wasn’t suitable for our global users.”

SVN-35, also a Block IIA satellite, was decommissioned from active service back in 2009 to make room in the constellation for the launch and eventual deployment of the latest new GPS Block IIR vehicle.

Meanwhile, SVN-35’s timing and navi-gation signal kept ringing true, so when the need arose for a spare, 2 SOPS analysts knew just where to go.

“We keep on-orbit spares for exactly this purpose,” said Lt Col Jennifer Grant, 2 SOPS commander. “The robustness of our current constellation and the recent completion of the Expandable 24 archi-

tecture provided us with the flexibility to perform replacements like this with mini-mal impact to global users. Expandable 24 increases global GPS coverage by optimiz-ing the location of GPS satellites in space. SVN-35 will replace a satellite residing in an expanded slot of the constellation.”

This event marks the second time in the more than 25-year history of the GPS program that operators will transition a decommissioned vehicle back to active status.

“We’ve started moving SVN-35 from its decommissioned location to an active slot,” Reddick said. “During the next week, we’ll test the vehicle and if it’s still performing like it was when we turned it on back dur-ing June, we’ll set it healthy to users as it is moving.”

Reddick noted that all of the extra work is being performed by engineers, analysts and operators here, who have really put some elbow grease into making the transi-tion seamless for worldwide military and commercial application users.

Lt. Col. Dean Holthaus, 2 SOPS direc-tor of operations, said that SVN-35 has surpassed its designed lifespan by 11 years. Not bad for a spacecraft that was constructed during an era when people were still using typewriters and analog telephones.

“SVN-35 was launched in 1993, with a design life of 7.5 years,” Holthaus said. “My hat goes off to our operators, analysts, and contractor support personnel — their superior care and feeding of our constella-tion is the reason SVN-35 is still viable for operations 18 years after launch.”

A longtime presence on Schriever, a victim of a traffic accident just off base, she was a friend to many and her loss is painful, untimely and bewildering. It’s a natural part of grieving that we search for answers — why, what happened, was anybody at fault? Finding those answers is important for a number of reasons.

As Air Force Safety professionals, one of our jobs is to find the root causes of mishaps. For example, we know Highway 94 can be hazardous and we brief that at new-comer’s briefings. We search for root causes through a formal process. We consider all of the possible factors, eliminate those that are clearly non-contributing, and

then look closely at what we have left.You do the same thing, formally or informally. You try

to make sense of it. Right now you might be thinking about cell phone use, speed, red lights and so on. And in thinking about it, you identify safety hazards and consider what you might do to stay safe.

Please keep thinking about it. While some accidents are unavoidable — the product of bad timing and unfortunate circumstance — some are completely avoidable. Do your part to ensure we don’t lose any more good friends.

There are many resources available on base for individu-als who are having trouble dealing with the recent loss. Resources include speaking with a Chaplain, 567-3705, or the Military Family Life Consultant, 651-3379, and supervisors and first sergeants. Please seek assistance if needed.

IronAmerican policies. After successfully navi-gating this for a year, I had to adapt again to the world of counterterrorism in Africa as a planner at headquarters U.S. Africa Command. My experience as a space op-erator, which involved relaying status and pushing buttons, did nothing to prepare me for either of these two duties. As I settled into my new role as a staff officer, I began

to forget some of that operations experience. That hurt a little when I returned to space operations as an Air Force Satellite Control Network detachment commander after four years in a predominantly Army environment. So much had changed in the Air Force that I got odd looks during my in-processing. My fa-vorite was, “You don’t know what a Controlled Spend Account card is?” That experience, and more than a few others, made it feel like I had to learn to be an Airman again. Bouncing back was tough!

The only reason I kept pace (and even suc-ceeded) during these last five years was not

just because of my flexibility, but also my resilience. The best advice I can give about re-silience is the following: Adapt only what you need to adapt and leave everything else the same. For instance, I learned the Army way of staffing, generating orders and operating in the Army bureaucracy. I got used to being the supporting verses the supported mission. However, through all this I remained true to myself. The job will change but you won’t and, as a bonus, there’s less to change back. Also, imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but imitate too much and you’ll lose part of yourself in your new environment.

Just be yourself so that everyone can count on how you’ll react and perform. Be reliable. This truth puts everyone else around you at ease and they’ll respond to you better. It also keeps you from getting permanently bent into a different shape, losing some of your strength in the process. You’ll bounce back a lot easier, too.

So what is best for the Air Force, an iron will? I disagree. Instead of an iron will, I’d rather have a rubber will; which has the nec-essary strength, toughness, flexibility and resilience that today’s Air Force truly needs. It is, after all, what meets the road.

Commentary by Lt. Col. Dawn GithensAdvanced Space Operations School commander

In my 17 years of active duty, I don’t recall a time where the Air Force was more dependent on the Total Force. With two on-going wars and a reduction in contractor support, the Air Force has become much more reliant on our civilian and reserve work forces.

As a new commander, I was interested to see how my unit’s active duty, civilians, reservists and contractors worked together to get our mission done. This past weekend was my first glance at that work force in action and I was more than pleased to see, at least in my unit, this new team is working together seamlessly.

The Advanced Space Operations School was previously one of two professional schools under the National Security Space Institute. In 2009 the two schools separated to form two separate units, the NSSI and ASOpS. The NSSI teaches the badge-awarding Space 200 and 300 courses under Air University and ASOpS teaches 13 more focused advanced training courses under Air Force Space Command. Before the schools split, AFSPC and Air Force Reserve Command joined together to establish a reserve associate unit, the RNSSI, to support the growing need for advanced training and continuing education. Today, the RNSSI is chartered to support both schools as part of the 310th Space Wing.

Most of us are familiar with the contributions our active duty, civilians and contractors play in supporting our mis-sion; however, I think less are familiar with our reserve roles. When I was previously assigned to the Space Innovation and Development Center, I had the pleasure of working with

another RAU under the 310th, the 14th Test Squadron. So I am familiar with what each distinct group brings to the team; however, I’ve never worked in a unit that had both.

ASOpS is a relatively small unit with a big and diversified training mission, hence our reliance on the Total Force. We are responsible for providing advanced, senior leader-ship, and deployment training for our space profession-als and space familiarization training for non-core space professionals. We graduate nearly 1,600 students a year to include active duty, reserve and civilian members from the Air Force, Army and Navy, as well as students from five coalition nations.

Within ASOpS, our active duty members keep us in touch with current military operations. Our civilians bring long-term continuity and depth of space experience. Our reserve work force fills specialties, such as rated pilots and provides a direct conduit to the latest and greatest technologies com-ing out of industry. Add in our contractors who are hired to provide specific specialties for each individual course, and the end result is a powerhouse of ASOpS instructors.

This last weekend was a unit training assembly weekend where our reserve associate unit supported the school Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday, something they do at least once a quarter. This created the perfect opportunity for me to see how they support our team as a whole.

Take for example Maj. Nathan Englehardt, whose entire military service evolved around missile operations and de-fense and whose civilian job is instructing for the Missile Defense Agency. This past weekend he updated much of our Advanced Missile Warning and Defense Course curriculum

with new “state of the industry” information and his an-nual tours are spent teaching our course in the Distributed Mission Operations Center for Space, another key unit under the SIDC.

Lt. Col. Blair Thompson, who has a PhD in orbital me-chanics and works with NASA in his civilian job, spent Friday morning as an acting squadron commander receiv-ing exercise outbriefs from students of ASOpS’ Advanced Orbital Mechanics course. Other members of the RNSSI spent the weekend teaching our Operational Test and Evaluation course to their reservist counterparts in the 14th Test Squadron.

Our civilians also play a major role in our mission success. Mark Ryals has been working with the NSSI and ASOpS for several years in various capacities and was recently hired as our dean. Linda Miller, our training manager, identifies trends in instructor certifications and capacity gaps. This past weekend, both Ryals and Miller spent their days sup-porting the course directors for four classes we now have on-going. Their vast experience and long term continuity in these positions are critical to ensuring smooth and con-tinuous mission success.

In fact, this past weekend was filled with many similar stories. What I came to realize was that my mission cannot be done without the entire team of active, reserve, civilian and contractor personnel. I also know that the mission is linked to the overall skill level of our entire space profes-sional force. So in a way, what I truly began to appreciate this weekend was that our entire force is much more effective because of its Total Force team.

WorkhorseService, the U.S. Navy’s Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System and the White House Communications Agency [presidential sup-port]. It also supported U.S. military operations including Global Thunder and Terminal Fury and assisted in humanitarian efforts such as the tsunami relief of 2004.

Sattelite control authority for the entire DSCS constellation was transferred from the 5th Space Operations Squadron to 3 SOPS during 1996. Launched with a design life of 10 years, B9 easily blew through that envelope, serving for 13 years on orbit before telemetry data indicated that it was running low on fuel. Rather than give up and dispose of a fully

functional satellite, the DSCS team refined and improved its fuel estimation capabilities and managed to squeeze an additional two and half years of life out of the spacecraft.

The DSCS team earned the 2006 Air Force Chief of Staff Team Excellence award for that specific effort on B9, but the old bird showed it wasn’t done just yet. During April 2008, B9 was placed in super synchronous orbit as a test asset.

“The best simulator on the ground is no-where near as good as an actual satellite on orbit for realistic testing,” Karahalis said. “The DCSC team has used B9 as a test asset for more than three years and we’ve made every effort to take full advantage of the unique opportunity.”

As the spacecraft crept up in age, B9 was used in more than 15 end-of-life tests, which provided valuable information applicable to

the entire DSCS constellation.The spacecraft aided 3 SOPS during anom-

aly investigations by allowing engineers to recreate abnormal conditions and helped ex-tend the life of the constellation by enabling engineers to validate contingency procedures and mitigation strategies prior to implemen-tation on operational vehicles.

“It has also provided a platform for running experimental procedures,” Karahalis said. “This helps us push the operational envelope of the constellation and maximize spacecraft utility.”

Capt. Kyle Volpe, 3 SOPS’ DSCS III en-gineering section chief, explained that B9’s deactivation process was spread out during a two day period as crews first purged the vehicle of any remaining fuel and then be-gan shutting off the payload and subsystem components on the subsequent day.

Even then, B9 refused to go quietly. Following a command to shutdown its re-action wheels, the satellite responded by de-activating only two of the four on board. It succumbed after the command was sent a second time, however, and few minutes later 3 SOPS and 53 SB members said their final farewells.

“DSCS B9’s amazing mission accomplish-ment can be traced to the tremendous com-munity that has supported it during the past 18 years,” Mortensen said. “From Air Force and Army operators flying the satel-lite and payload, respectively, to our joint, acquisition, and industry partners working in close collaborations to ensure we provide National Command Authorities, combat-ant commanders, joint and allied forces, and other users around the world with reliable wideband satellite communications.”

By Capt. Mary Danner-JonesSecretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (AFNS) — Air Force officials an-nounced the implementation of a 90-day hiring freeze effective immediately.

A firm commitment to keep spending within requested levels led to implement the hiring freeze across the civil-ian workforce, officials said.

In addition to a 90-day hiring freeze, the officials plan to reduce temporary and term employees and will imple-ment both the Voluntary Separation Incentive Program and Voluntary Early Retirement Authority program.

Officials project that all major commands, direct re-porting units and field operation agencies will be affected by these actions.

“We are operating in a very challenging fiscal envi-ronment and are focused on meeting mission require-

ments with a reduced budget.” said Lt. Gen. Darrell Jones, the deputy chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services. “We are mindful of the potential impacts of budget constraints on our civilian force and their fami-lies, which is why we are seeking to reduce the need for involuntary measures.”

The 90-day hiring freeze is intended to quickly re-duce civilian strength levels to budgetary limits and enable future hiring to support the most critical mission requirements.

“We will do our utmost to provide timely, candid com-munication on specific efforts as details are finalized,” General Jones said.

For additional information on civilian workforce re-duction measures, personnel should contact their local civilian personnel office at 567-5221, or call the Total Force Service Center at 800-525-0102.

FitnessTip

How much would you pay for a pill that improved your mood and self-esteem, prevented many different dis-eases, added years to your life, and gave you a stronger, leaner body? What if I told you the pill was free? Would you take it? This magic pill is exercise. A consistent exercise program has all of the benefits mentioned above and you can get it for free. Many people believe that you have to go to the gym in order to exercise, but with a little creativity, you can train all of your muscles and do cardio without a gym membership or buying expensive fitness equipment. So really, the only thing stopping you is you- and that may be a tough pill to swallow.


n When the bus approaches, stand at least three to six feet away from the curb, and line up away from the street.n Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says that it’s okay before step-ping onto the bus.n If you have to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the sidewalk or along the side of the road to a point at least 10 feet ahead of the bus before you cross. Be sure that the bus driver can see you and you can see the bus driver.n Use the handrails to avoid falling. When exiting the bus, be careful that clothing with drawstrings and book bags with straps don’t get caught in the handrails or doors.n Never walk behind the bus.n Walk at least three giant steps away from the side of the bus.n If you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver. Never try to pick it up because the driver may not be able to see you.Getting to and on the bus is not the only safety concern. Accidents where people driv-ing around buses have hit children are for too common, as well.Drivers, follow these rules:n When driving in neighborhoods with

school zones, watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school, but may not be thinking of getting there safely.n Slow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in neighborhood.n Slow down. Watch for children playing and congregating near bus stops.n Be alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic.n Learn and obey the school bus laws in your state. Learn the “flashing signal light system” that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions. In Colorado, the following applies:

• Amber flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop and load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles.

• Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped, and that children are getting on or off the bus. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again.

Going back to school should be an exciting time where the most important thoughts on a child’s mind are seeing friends again and buying new clothes. Let’s all do our part to ensure a safe start to a new school year!

Schriever’s fitness center has hosted a multitude of triathlons the past 10 years, but Aug. 12’s event was the first in base history where athletes swam, biked and ran a nearly 15-mile course completely on base.

Thanks to assistance from staff at Schriever’s Tierra Vista Community Center, 27 athletes were able to complete the swim segment of the competition at the housing-area pool.

“We were really happy with this event,” said Seth Cannello, Schriever Fitness and Sports director. “Since the Tierra Vista staff made the community center pool available to us, we were able to send tri-athletes off in swimming heats. From there, it was relatively easy to design a course that started and finished near the housing area.”

In the past, event staff required assistance from the Peterson Air Force Base Aquatic Center to host the swim segment and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, which provided safety officers to manage traf-fic for the bike segment that typically traversed roads east and south of the base.

This year, Cannello was able to design a course covering the unique hills, valleys and plateaus the base has to offer and the fitness center staff handled management of the event in house.

Despite the length and difficulty of the three-event competition, less than two minutes separated the top three competitors. Joe Simpich raced through the course in 1 hour 18 minutes, 10 seconds. Cody Ott took runner-up honors in 1:19.40, edging Heath Bucshe by 12 seconds.

“It was a real battle out there,” Simpich said. “I had trouble in the pool. I think I came out second there, but managed to catch up during the bike leg.”

Simpich took the lead midway through the 12-mile bike ride that started north of the community center pool and took athletes around the base perimeter. Once they’d arrived north of the community center again, competitors then ran a loop of the housing area before arriving at the finish line near the youth baseball field.

Some athletes, like Brandon Wilson and 50th

Mission Support Group Commander, Col. Jonathan Webb, competed in their first ever triathlon, while others, like 63-year old Rob Ladewig proved to be wily veterans.

Ladewig is a few months removed from competing his 20th Ironman Triathlon. Compared to those, this event seemed like a short training run.

“My philosophy is ‘if you can’t beat ‘em, outlive ‘em’,” Ladewig said following the race. “Longevity is the key.”

When he’s training for an Ironman, Ladewig will run as many as 24 miles on a weekend day and bike more than 100 miles.

“I eat a lot of carbs,” he said. “Pasta, fats and pro-tein. I’ll snack on veggies and nuts... and if you put a jelly donut in front of me... I’ll eat that too.”

Despite their status as first-time triathletes, Webb and Wilson completed the three events in an hour and a half.

“The hills on this course are pretty tough,” Webb said. “This is a challenging course, but this base is fantastic because there are so many places to run and ride, and with the TVC Housing Community pool, it’s a wonderful place for people to get out and exercise.”

Webb said he was motivated by Capt. Sabrina Deeley, 50 MSG executive officer, who challenged the MSG office to compete in the event.

“This was a great team-building effort,” Webb said. “The AF fitness program challenges Airmen to stay in shape. This event presented an opportunity for people to come out and push themselves.”

For Wilson, like many competitors, the swim seg-ment proved to be the most challenging.

“I hardly ever swim,” he said. “That’s what has really held me back from competing in triathlons before. I do a lot of Crossfit and SEAL workouts, but I don’t run too much either. This was a fun event though. Now that I know I can survive the swim I might think about doing more triathlons.”

In all, 27 athletes took part. All finished in less than 2 hours, 10 minutes, much to the delight of Cannello who hoped to wrap up by mid day and made that mark by more than half an hour.

Stephen Mitchell prepares to dismount his bike following his 12-mile bike leg of the Schriever Triathlon here Aug. 12. Competitors swam 400 meters, biked 12 miles and ran 3 miles to complete the course. Mitchell took fifth place with a time of 1 hour, 21 minutes.

Schriever takes home-field advantage with latest triathlon

Teddy Vargas swims the final lap of his 400-meter swim event during the Schriever Triathlon at Tierra Vista Community Center pool here Aug. 12. Competitors also bicycled 12 miles and ran 3 miles to complete the course. Vargas crossed the finish line in 1 hour, 27 minutes, 51 seconds.

Mailbox size limits, step by step instructions on how to create personal folders, and mail delivery setup can be found at the 50th Space Wing SharePoint homepage or the following link: https://eis.afspc.af.mil/unit/50sw/home/Pages/Default.aspx For inquiries please contact the communications focal point at 567-2666.

Learn your survivor benefitsRetiring? Hard to believe, isn’t it? After all

these years you and your family are about to leave active duty to enjoy a well-earned life in the civilian world. Right now your mind is filled with thoughts of the many things you must do to prepare for this ma-jor change. The move to and setting up of a new home; new neighbors and schools; a new job — all these things demand time and attention.

Prior to retiring, you will have a chance to enroll in the Survivor Benefit Plan. For more information, please contact Kevin Mitchell at 567-4037.

100 percent shred policy always in affectSecurity is not just for the realm of classified information. Certain unclassified

information can be as detrimental to the individual, and therefore the Air Force, as any classified leak. In order to protect that information, Schriever Air Force Base employs a 100 percent unclassified shred policy. Per the 50th Space Wing Operational Security Program Plan: Standardization is essential in protecting our daily operations. Every unit is responsible for ensuring that all paper, except magazines and newspapers, is shredded using authorized cross-cut shredders, which have been verified by the 50th Space Wing Information Protection office, also that all paper material is placed into authorized paper recycling receptacles. Adherence to this single standard, from shredding top-secret material to shred-ding blank paper, will assure protection of information, simplify individual action requirements, minimize risks, and ensure recycling standards are maintained to the maximum extent possible.

Remember, OPSEC is everyone’s responsibility!
