    PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station continues its efforts to mitigate future landslide destruction.

    On the night of Sept. 12, 2013, a land-side of approximately 8,000-10,000 cu-bic yards of debris descended down the mountain and ultimately closed off the primary entrance into the Mountain. Engineers quickly cleared the debris and are now constructing a system to reduce the damage potential of future landslides.

    The recent $6 million project involves a four-step system to mitigate future landslide damage: five ring nets, a 15-foot deep main catchment basin, a cul-vert down the mountain into the storm water system and infrastructure protec-tion for the facilities.

    “Mother Nature always has the trump card, so we designed this in a cascading series of protective measures to help re-duce the risk of damage to our personnel and mission,” said Maj. Anthony Alecci, 721st Civil Engineer Squadron project manager.

    Since the locations of 24-foot ring nets are in the canyons, transporting supplies and equipment on foot is near

    impossible, so a “Lama” helicopter was contracted to airlift supplies in and out of the two canyons. On May 28, 2015, a third helicopter airlift was conducted, with one more airlift scheduled, totaling 123 lifted items to date.

    The five ring nets are strategically placed in and at the bottom of the can-yons to catch large boulders and forest debris. All of the smaller rocks, mud and water will flow through the ring nets into the main catchment basin, which will then flow through the culverts into the storm water system.

    “It’s a fantastic mix of high terrain work, major earth movements, facili-ties construction and relocation; you really have all of the trades involved,” said Alecci. “A multi-discipline project this size is complex in project manage-ment and it’s exciting to see it progress through the stages.”

    Through all of the construction and inconveniences, the continuing support and patience from everyone has been much appreciated by the project man-agement team, said Alecci.

    “Our landslide repair and mitigation project should be completed in February 2016,” said Col. Travis Harsha, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station installation commander. “It incorporates proven technologies and techniques to better ensure the safety of our complex, and its critical missions and people.”

    PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Two years after taking command of the Air Force’s largest geographi-cal wing, Col. John Shaw, 21st Space Wing commander, is moving on to a new assignment. The change of command takes place June 12.

    Shaw’s new duties will be as deputy operations director for U.S. Strategic Command headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base, near Omaha, Nebraska. He returns to the Omaha area where he was previously assigned from 2008-’10.

    When Shaw took the helm of the 21st Space Wing July 26, 2013, he knew how geographically separated it was, but it really didn’t set in until he was on site.

    PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Several months ago, I was in a class that was studying early creeds. One of the many things that stayed with me from this class was where the modern word “creed” is de-rived from.

    The word creed actually originated from the Latin word credo, which means “I believe.” When I heard this, my mind immediately began to apply this “I believe” criterion to our Airman’s Creed. After some deliberation, I mentally changed the title of the Airman’s Creed to read “This I believe as an Airman,” and my mind has not stopped thinking about it since. Let’s explore what it means to take our Airman’s Creed, twist the title slightly to match the original Latin, and boldly profess: This “I Believe” as an Airman.

    The words “I Believe” have such powerful and meaningful connotations. With integrity being one of our Air Force Core Values and the cornerstone of our daily operations, we would not use these words lightly or in jest. What a powerful and bold statement it is to mentally or verbally profess the words “this is what I believe” before reciting our Airman’s Creed. By professing this, it demands we take a hard internal look at the word “I” in “I Believe.”

    Do “I” truly believe the words in our Airman’s Creed? Although our Airman’s

    Creed is quoted by everyone from our highest leaders to our most junior Airmen at basic military training, only you can honestly an-swer that question. From its historic intro-duction by retired Gen. T. Michael Moseley, former chief of staff of the Air Force, April 18, 2007, many highly trained professionals have tried to plant the seeds of truth regard-ing our Airman’s Creed in our hearts and minds. Generations of great Airmen want you to believe our Airman’s Creed; only you, through self-evaluation, can honestly answer that question. A word of caution: if you do believe the Airman’s Creed, understand there is an immense amount of responsibility to accompany the belief. Don’t just be hearers of the Creed, be doers instead.

    One of my favorite life passages I share with those around me is, “Live your life worthy

    of what you say you believe.” In the context of our Airman’s Creed, if you believe it then it should be manifested in the way you live your life. It should almost be part of your very being. It should be a light that shines brightly through you. If we are American Airmen, the Creed should be part of our DNA. In my mind, the word “worthy” in the above passage holds a certain weight to it. I envision a large Airmanship scale — the ones used to weigh something — with an Airman standing on one side and the Airman’s Creed resting on the other. As Airmen, we should always strive to live our lives worthy of the Airman’s Creed. In other words, we should always ensure our Airmanship scale is in balance. We should al-ways be striving to apply the principles taught in the Creed to keep the scale in balance: living worthy of what we say we believe.

    In conclusion, as we celebrate the eight years since our Airman’s Creed was introduced, even if you don’t agree with my feelings on the Creed, we should be able to find common ground in the fact that we should never let the Creed lose value. How can we accomplish this? Teach our Airman’s Creed at all times, and only, if necessary, use words. Let your Airmanship light shine brightly!

    This “I Believe” as an Airman.

    I believeMaster Sgt.

Stayce Harris, 22nd Air Force commander, a MAFFS-equipped C-130 during her visit to the 302nd Airlift Wing here May 15, 2015. The general spent two days with the Air Force Reserve Command wing to get a firsthand look at annual MAFFS training. “That was a great introduction into what we do with the MAFFS mission here at the 302nd,” said Harris. “It is challenging flying. Everyone takes it very seriously because, at the end of the day, what we’re trying to do is save lives and protect property from destruction. They’re challenging situations but every crewmember here is expertly trained and absolutely ready for it.”

    By Dave Smith21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

    PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Aug. 1, 2008 was the best day the varied groups of climbers had seen in three weeks. A perfect day, in fact, for attempting to summit the peak considered even more dangerous than the famed Mount Everest.

    At 28,251 feet, Karakoram 2, commonly called K2, has harsher weather and steeper rock and ice faces than Everest. It is a climb-ers’ mountain and only about a tenth the number of people have summited its treach-erous peak as have Everest. So when the weather broke and forecasts were favorable, a group of 26 climbers from eight nations, speaking eight languages, decided to make a push for the summit.

    The day may have been perfect, but all would change and 11 climbers would per-ish, making it the deadliest day on K2. At one point climber Cas van de Gevel ut-tered what would become a twisted sort of anti-prophecy.

    “Cas said, ‘It’s a perfect day and there are 26 of us. What could possibly go wrong?’” recalled Chris Klinke, former vice president of American Express turned climber. Klinke was part of the group pushing for the summit that fateful day. He shared his experiences and what he learned that day with Team Pete in a Wingman Day presentation May 29.

    The plan for ascending started to come apart almost at the beginning, when late starts by some put a kink in the goal to sum-mit and return before dark. After that, it was discovered that the only person among the climbers to ever set foot atop K2 had descended to base camp with an illness, then some trail breakers did not bring along enough rope to set up the planned fixed lines. About 11 a.m., with the group already on the push for eight hours or longer, Serbian climber Dren Mandic fell to his death after unclipping from his line.

    Somewhere in this general time frame, Klinke, who summited Everest in 2006, made a serious decision, one that likely saved his life: he decided to turn back. As the late start and high solar radiation began to show as melted ice, he became concerned.

    “It started to make me a little worried,” he said.

    Decision making in the mountains is seri-ous business to put it mildly. Eighteen people summited K2 that day, but only nine made it down. In fact, most deaths on the mountain happen after climbers summit, Klinke said.

    “You recognize that your decision making, or lack of decision making, will have an im-pact,” he said. He recommends considering all possible options and not being afraid to fail. He pointed out that he didn’t summit

    his first mountain until his fourth attempt, then failed again on his fifth climb.

    “I learned as much from my failures as I did from my successes,” he said.

    One of the biggest issues the teams faced that day is one of the most important things to get right: communication.

    “We had people from eight nations speak-ing eight languages trying to communicate what to do to move forward,” Klinke said. Communicating directions, goals and plans are critical in both life and extreme situations like mountain climbing. Teamwork is made up of communication and decision making.

    Decision making is also important when determining risk, he said. For example, the group of climbers who made the summit push that day were the first group of more than 10 to attempt a summit at one time, and risks increased along with the numbers. Add in that groups on K2 are typically not commercialized -they don’t use large teams of hired porters from Nepal and Pakistan — and climbers climb the peak’s equiva-lent about three times carrying 80-90 pound loads of supplies before ever attempting the summit, and opportunity for trouble con-tinues to increase. Carefully assessing risk cannot be overlooked.

    When Klinke decided to abandon his summit attempt he considered a number of factors, including how far off schedule and plan the teams had become, approaching darkness and his personal health factored into his decision making process. He was hit by a chunk of ice that dented his helmet and left him feeling ill. Whether it was altitude illness or the impact of the ice, it was enough to help make his decision to go back.

    “About 5 to 10 percent of those who at-tempted it actually summited, and of those 50 percent died. A lot of it is decision mak-ing. I could have come out on either side,” Klinke said.

    Klinke shared three leadership lessons he took away from K2 that day. First, make sure everyone in the group has the same goal.

    “It’s not all just summiting, it’s summit and get the entire team back safe,” he said. “That’s my motto: Climb hard, climb high and come home.”

    Clear cut leadership is of great importance as is listening to the leader, he added.

    Seeking input from other stakeholders is important as well. Even as the head guide he said it is critical to seek out all the members of the group.

    “Their lives are on the line with mine,” he said.

    Finally, Klinke advised acknowledging the importance of each team member.

    “Recognize you are dependent upon every member of the team. Nobody summits by themselves, nobody climbs alone,” Klinke said.

    PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado – Mountain climber Chris Klinke shares decision-making and resiliency lessons he learned while attempting to summit the Himalayan mountain K2 in 2008. He was part of a group who not only saw the most climbers summit the peak – considered to be more dangerous than Mount Everest – in one day, but also had 11 of the group die on the journey. Aug. 1, 2008 is considered the deadliest day ever on one of the world’s deadliest mountains. Klinke’s decision to turn back likely saved his life.

    and other area law enforcement groups also demonstrate that relationship.

    He also counts his involvement with the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments as a plus.

    “It’s a great way to let the local community know the needs of the base,” he said. “I think we are fortunate to be in one of the best communities you can be in for a military installa-tion.” The natural beauty of the area along with the positive nature of the city itself keeps Airmen happy and healthy, and that makes Shaw happy.

    The 21st Space Wing supports 53 tenant organizations and has a significant economic impact on the area. Small business contracting is a component of the overall impact Peterson AFB has on the local community. The aggregate impact is about $1.3 billion due to the large number of retirees, salaries from the employees, various contracts and related activity that comes with having a large employer like the Air Force in the area.

    “Colorado Springs is the space capitol of the world. Sometimes it is missed what these groups do on behalf of their country and the world with GPS and tracking space trash,” Shaw said. “It is something for the community to be aware and proud of.”

    Bringing the STARBASE Academy to Peterson is something else he is proud of because it teaches students about science, technology, engineering and mathematics in an exciting way to increase interest in the STEM fields.

    “What better place to do that than at the 21st Space Wing?” he asked. “I am proud of how we partner with the school system.”

    Since activity in space is not decreasing, Shaw said the wing will only play a more important role as time goes on. From the view of national security, missile warning and missile defense the need for greater diversity in mission capabilities is not going away.

    “Gen. Hyten said people are threatening us in our ability to use space, so space control is important. When you add it all up we’re going to have a pretty full plate here at the 21st Space Wing,” Shaw said.

    Heading to Nebraska will not remove thoughts of Colorado Springs from Shaw’s memory any time soon. Since he first came to the Air Force Academy as an 18-year-old student he has fond memories of his times here.

    “I don’t think any of my experiences will top this, being commander at the 21st Space Wing,” Shaw said. “And what I will remember most is all the Airmen I got to serve.”

    By Amber BaillieU.S. Air Force Academy Public Affairs

    U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — A total of 840 ca-dets graduated from the Air Force Academy March 28, 2015, following a commencement address by the 23rd Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James.

    Among the newest batch of second lieutenants, 360 will directly attend pilot training, 89 will work in space and cyber space fields, 89 will attend graduate school and 44 will join nuclear missile operations.

    Twenty percent of the Class of 2015 are women and 26 percent are minorities, James said.

    “This is one of the most diverse classes we’ve had at the Academy,” James said. “Going forward we must do even better. We are committed to diversity in our Air Force, expanding opportunities for women and same sex couples, having leaders who are ethical and take care of our people, and where sexual assault has no safe haven.”

    James referenced the Class of 2015’s president, Second Lt. Andrew Dane, a prior-enlisted Airman who took part in 450 close air support missions to eliminate the Taliban

    during his 2010 deployment and received a Purple Heart.“He continued to fight and never gave up despite his

    wounds,” James said. “That’s exactly the caliber of Airmen you will lead into the future across our Air Force in peace time and in combat. Please take a few moments and think about the graduates before you, the oath you will take, what it means to serve in the Air Force and most importantly, to always take of your people.”

    The secretary referenced Zebulon Pike, a historical American soldier and explorer who attempted to reach the top of Pikes Peak but never made it.

    “Graduates, as we sit in the shadow of Pikes Peak during this glorious spring day, think back to the winter when the peak looked different and long ago when Zebulon Pike was sizing up the mountain, getting ready for his daunting mis-sion to the summit. I’m guessing you had similar thoughts when you headed off to Basic Cadet Training.

    Now, after completing 101 semester hours of core cur-riculum, you have arrived at that summit.”

    The secretary asked graduates to think about their class

    exemplar, the Wright Brothers, who tena-ciously pursued their dream of flight and turned it into a reality.

    “I bet there are some of you who battled through failures such as being on academic probation or having the moral courage to accept responsibility of an honor code viola-tion,” James said. “You stayed and kept your heads held high and forged ahead. Today we get celebrate your perseverance and tomor-row you will lead us into the future.”

    This year’s graduates, a part of the Academy’s 57th class, have new challenges to face, James said.

    “The Air Force in some ways has stayed the same and in some ways changed,” she said.

    Now budgets are tighter, there are differ-ent areas of worries, the force is operating with less manpower, Airmen are frequently being deployed and there are concerns about readiness, James said.

    “This pace of operations is not likely to lessen,” she said. “Lead us into the future because you are the next generation of lead-ers or as the U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter says, ‘the force of the future.’ You need to be open to new ideas and new ways of business because the world is more complex and dynamic than ever before.”

    According to James, the main pillars for Airmen to follow in detouring, defending and fighting our nation’s wars: extend the Air Force’s technological edge over potential

    adversaries, ensure the Air Force is efficient and accountable and leverage all Airmen’s’ talent.

    “As second lieutenants, you will be respon-sible for guarding our nuclear enterprise, flying million dollar aircraft and money will be scarce and precious,” James said. “We will rely on your insight, advice and judgment and want to hear and implement Airmen’s’ ideas. Take your talent to lead us into the future, think critically, adapt to changing circum-stances, make the most of scarce resources and have the moral courage to stand up for what is right.”

    Four years ago we had the strongest and capable Air Force in the world and still do today, James said.

    “We are more globally engaged,” she said.The secretary referenced the Air Force

    joining in on the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and providing hu-manitarian aid after earthquakes in Nepal this year.

    “One thing that’s clear to me is when big things happen around the world, the President calls 1-800-USAF and we kick into action big time,” James said.

    James asked graduates to lead the Air Force to greater degrees in air space and cyber space, take care of men and women in their command and ensure the U.S. Air Force remains the best air force on the planet.

    “Honor our Air Force core values,” she said. “They must underpin every action you take from here on forth as an officer and leader in our Air Force. These values greeted you on day one and you lived by them for the last four years. Continue to live by them as a second lieutenant and beyond.”

    PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Master Sgt. Jonathan Kiley, curriculum development superinten-dent at the Vosler NCO Academy, leads Airmen by day and helps veterans by night.

    “I started volunteering with Project Healing Water because I have a passion for fly fishing,” said Kiley. “Then I found a program that helps wounded warriors, people with post-traumatic stress disorder and Armed Forces members that can utilize those skills to help them cope.”

    Kiley began volunteering for the national program at what was then Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina, teach-ing and mentoring members. Upon arriving at Peterson AFB he started volunteering at the local chapter as well. Holding approximately 50 events each year for more than 300 veterans, Kiley’s passion grew from teaching classes to leading the program.

    “I taught fly tying for the first two years here, where I sat back and taught a few of the participants,” said Kiley. “Then I really wanted to improve the program so Bill Kirk and I got together this year and developed courses from beginning to advance tying.” Kirk is another volunteer in the program.

    Kiley is in charge of setting up classes for fly tying, rod building and casting. He also sets up training for mentors and trip leaders, to prepare them for everything from organizing a class to basic emergency medical care.

    The goals of the courses are to equip the members with a constructive hobby and somewhere for past and present Armed Forces members to socialize. The courses provide instruction of all fly styles so the members can look at a tie and know how to make it. The different courses also teach the members the difference between ties and what is best for the different fish, not just the ones found in Colorado.

    “He (Kiley) is able to bridge his off-duty interests with helping our veterans and people with PTSD,” said Chief Master Sgt. Todd Krulcik, Vosler NCOA commandant. “It’s great to have Airmen, like Kiley, that are not only doing an outstanding job in the classroom instructing Airmen, but also spends his free time giving back to the community to help individuals who have already given so much.”

    While teaching at the NCOA, Kiley encourages the students to find their life passions and use them to help others in the community.

    “It is an important part of our Airmanship to encourage our Airmen to take the time to give back,” said Krulcik.

    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado – Master Sgt. Jonathan Kiley, Vosler NCO Academy instructor, teaches members of Project Healing Waters how to tie a fly. Kiley has been a volunteer for the Colorado Springs Project Healing Waters for approximately two years teaching members how to tie flies, and also a program manager creating different levels of courses for non-experienced and experienced fly tiers.

    By Staff Sgt. Carlin Leslie Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

    Command Information

    WASHINGTON (AFNS) — In Air Force history a legacy has been written, by women, for women. The walls of the Women in Military Service for America Memorial are filled with stories of historic and iconic women from all U.S. military services that have served the nation.

    History has once again been written. Those halls now hold a new story as Lt. Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski, the assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, military deputy, was promoted to the rank of general, effective June 8. She is now the third female four-star general in Air Force history, following in the

    footsteps of remarkable women who paved the way.

    “This is a great day for Ellen and (her) fam-ily (and) from my perspective it is a great day for the United States Air Force,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III. “(Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James) and I expect an awful lot out of our four-star generals in the Air Force. We expect that they be able to defend the nation. We expect them to protect the institution and we expect them to lead, inspire and nurture the Airmen and families who give our insti-tution life. We are extremely confident that Pawlikowski will do all those things.”

    Pawlikowski entered the Air Force in 1978 through the ROTC program at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and became the first female officer to receive a commis-

    sion from that program. She went on to at-tend the University of California at Berkeley, and received a doctorate in chemical engi-neering in December 1981, and entered the active-duty Air Force in April 1982.

    Through the guidance and honorable love of her mother, late husband, family, friends and Airmen she has led, Pawlikowski said there are three statements that define her.

    “In the words of my mother, ‘Just do the best no matter how hard it is, no matter how menial you think it is, just do the best that you can; and never quit,’” Pawlikowski said. “And from my late husband, the message of ‘Do the right thing even when it’s hard’ resonates within me.

    “Madam secretary, (Gen. Welsh,) you know you have my commitment and promise that I guarantee you that I will do the best

    that I can,” Pawlikowski continued. “I will never, ever quit and I will do the right thing even when it’s hard, because that’s who I am.”

    The career of Pawlikowski has ranged from a variety of technical management, leader-ship and staff positions including command at the wing and center levels.

    Continuing her career as a leader, Pawlikowski will assume command this summer as the head of Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

    As she stood on the stage of the Woman’s Memorial, in the presence of so many men and women who have defined history, Pawlikowski said she truly felt like she was standing on the shoulders of giants.

Pawlikowski during her promotion ceremony June 1, 2015, at the Women’s Memorial for Military Service in Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia.

    Increased travel and leisure activities that go hand-in-hand with the summer months require increased emphasis on risk management, said Air Force Chief of Ground Safety, Bill Parsons.

    By Air Force Safety Center Public Affairs

    KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. — Increased travel and leisure activities that go hand-in-hand with the summer months require increased emphasis on risk manage-ment, said Air Force Chief of Ground Safety, Bill Parsons.

    While Airmen and their families make the most of rec-reational opportunities during the summer, the period be-tween Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends is the most important time to incorporate risk management in off-duty leisure activities. This is accomplished by using the same safety processes as those used on duty, Parsons said.

    “Unfortunately, that same period ended last year with 17 fatalities,” Parsons said. “We need every Airman to commit to making that number zero this year, and we do that by

    using the same risk management skills we apply on the job to ensure everyone returns safely at summer’s end and ready to accomplish the mission. Summer safety is the extension of ourQuest for Zeromishaps.”

    Whether traveling, participating in water activities, sport-ing events or cookouts, Airmen should identify, assess and mitigate all risks to include: trip planning that ensures enough rest and preparation for contingencies; no alcohol while driving or participating in recreational activities; and use of appropriate protective gear in all activities.

    “Most mishaps are preventable,” Parsons said, “and mis-hap prevention requires doing the right thing. Sometimes the right thing is as simple as stepping up and stepping in when we see something that doesn’t look right. That alone can avert a potential disaster.”

    Summer safety begins with risk management
