(Photo by Charley Starr) Academy primary site for national games By Wayne Amann Academy Spirit staff While the Cadet Chapel will always be the most definitive feature of the Academy skyline, the school’s athletic facilities take center stage this week. Some 9,000 athletes from around the country are here Thursday through Sunday for the 2005 State Games of America, a national multi-sport event, held biennially, for all ages and skill levels. Medal winners from 49 State Games earn the right to compete against other winners, pitting their skills and desire in a national setting. Nine of the event’s 24 Olympic and Pan American sports take place at Academy venues. The rest are divided among Fort Carson, the Phil Long Expo Center, Cheyenne Mountain Resort plus other sites in Colorado Springs, Denver, Monument and Pueblo. “Our facilities are known nationwide and people want to use them,” Assistant Athletic Director for Events Management Joe Novak emphasized. “A big selling point for organizations is to come here. The primary reason we do this is to further community relations and give us exposure to potential future cadets. They see what we have to offer here.” Visiting athletes will perform at the Academy Archery Range for archery (3-D), the north baseball field for archery (target), the outdoor sport turf field for field hockey, the Cadet West Gym for gymnastics, the Cadet Center Gym for martial arts, the athletic fields for soccer, the Cadet Tennis Courts, the outdoor track stadium for track & field and the Cadet East Gym for wrestling. SGA events are today, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is charged to all Academy events except archery (3-D) and tennis. Academy visitors are asked to enter throught the North Gate. While on the Academy they must have a driver’s license, vehicle registration and vehicle insurance. All persons, and their personal belongings, entering the academy are subject to a search if necessary. Items restricted from the Cadet Field House, Cadet Gymnasium and outdoor event locations are: weapons, firearms, fireworks; backpacks (infant carrier packs are permitted if infant is present); bags larger than 11 x 11 x 8 inches; all hard-side briefcases (participant equipment bags are permitted and are subject to a search); (diaper bags are permitted if infant is present); binoculars, cameras and video cameras with appropriate bags are OK as are purses and fanny packs. No hard-side coolers are allowed nor any sticks, poles including signs attached to sticks; nontransparent glass bottles, soda cans and thermos bottles are restricted. Only factory sealed, plastic, transparent containers, 20 ounces or less, will be permitted; bota bags, wine skins, camel packs, alcohol of any kind, artificial noisemakers of any kind, pets (unless certified service dogs for patrons with disabilities), skateboards, roller blades, shoes with wheels and laser pointers are prohibited. “As a military installation and for the Cadet Wing’s protection we want visitors See GAMES, Page 4 2 COMMENTARY Academy Spirit July 29, 2005 New Vice Superintendent rolls up his sleeves By Wayne Amman Academy Spirit Staff Spirit: How do you view patriotism in our country given current world events? General Halter: When I came here in ’73 we could not go downtown by ourselves, in uniform or out, because your haircut made you stick out. I remember we were different in the eyes of people who didn’t know us. They thought less of us because of what we were doing. We went to certain universities for a football game and were told not to go anywhere alone, stick together. Even though Vietnam had just finished, there was still a large anti-war movement. It’s a whole different ballgame now. Being a military member is held in such high esteem. The entire country knows what we’re asking people to do. Although there are differing opinions about how and what were involved in, it’s great to know no one is questioning the integrity, the selflessness and character of the American military. It’s a wonderful thing to have people behind you. It makes a big difference. Brig. Gen. Irving L. “Irv” Halter recently arrived to assume the Academy’s new Vice Superintendent position. He joins the Academy team following concurrent tours as the Deputy Director for National Systems Operations, the Joint Staff, and Deputy Director for Military Support, National Reconnaissance Office, Wash., D.C. The general is a command fighter pilot with more than 3,100 flight hours who’s served as an operational commander at the squadron, group and wing levels. General Halter is a veteran of Operations Desert Storm, Provide Comfort and Enduring Freedom. The southern New Jersey native and ’77 Academy graduate shared his views July 13 with the Academy Spirit. Spirit: How does it feel to return to your alma mater? General Halter: It’s not like the good old days, even though there are a lot of similarities. I was anxious to see how much has changed. Graduating 28 years ago and 32 years after basic training, you get chills. You watch what the young men and women are going through and you go, whew, I remember that. The concentration on basic training and the comprehensiveness of the training stand out. It’s much more deliberate and thought through now. I really like that. If anyone thinks the training has gotten easier they need to watch what’s going on. Talking to the basics and watching the cadre operate I see total professionals. Graduates need to remember it’s just as tough and in some ways tougher because these kids come down a lot further than we had to. I left three TV channels at home on only one TV. I didn’t have my own phone, no computer, most of us didn’t have cars, etc. We take away a lot more things when they first start here, so in many ways it’s a bigger adjustment. I’m really taken by the effort of the staff here. They’ve been through a lot of challenges but are committed to doing this right. I’m also impressed by the graduate community. Even a lot of nongraduates have written wishing us well and to say how much they care about our Academy. People may not always agree with what we’re doing here but they sure have an interest. It’s pretty amazing. Brig. Gen. Irving “Irv” Halter, Academy Vice Superintendent (Photos by Danny Meyer) Spirit: What do you bring to the table from your Air Force operational background? General Halter: When I arrived here right after Viet Nam we had a lot of folks who had been in the war as pilots, navigators or support personnel. They were my great motivators. They would stop the English class and talk to me about an operational mission over the north. I cared about academics but in the daily grind of what happens here those guys kept my interest, they made a difference. I’m very fortunate the Air Force gave me opportunities to command at several levels. I’ve been to war, flew combat sorties, I know what that’s about. I can look at these kids and say here’s how the training you’re getting now is preparing you for the things to come, so hang in there, it’s worth it. When I’m tired I may wonder why am I still doing this? Fact is, not I, my wife or family regret a moment of this. If I could do it all over again, make 10-times the money, I wouldn’t give it up for the world. This is a great way to make a living. Flying upside down is cool. Space operations is very cool. Our Air Force is doing neat, interesting things. Cadets will find a lot of fun, even though life at the Academy may not always be fun. All of us are called upon to remind others, especially on tough days, what it is they’re doing. What I’ve done doesn’t make me special, but it allows me to relate to folks, tell them I know what it’s like to be in Afghanistan. Here’s why it’s important you do the particular thing you’re doing. Spirit: How do you perceive America’s perception of the Academy? General Halter: This year we’ve had well over 9,000 qualified folks apply for admission, a huge crop. The standards have not changed. We’re still getting the kind of people we want here. I see nothing but good there. You talk to families and there’s intense pride. I know this. My father passed away last December. When we used to walk into an airport within 30 minutes there weren’t 50 people who didn’t know I went to the Air Force Academy. Even when I became a general, that’s the first thing he told them. To go to a service academy, especially for middle America, is still a big deal. It’s not because the great education is free or the character development is great but because we develop the whole person. A lot of colleges claim to do that and a lot try, but very few can show they do that. We can. The trials we’ve been through the last two-three years have focused us even more to take care of the whole person, develop leaders of character. There’s incredible cooperation here, especially at the senior level. Everyone is on board. They all get it. They know why we’re here. They’re absolutely dedicated to making sure we do it right.

Rosa established? General Halter: The reason the vice superintendent position was created at this rank was to ensure the momentum we started the last couple years continued, through the transition of personalities and because the Superintendent is a university president. A lot of his time is spent away from the Academy. It’s hard to be the boss and keep that momentum going, even if you’re a commandant or dean, if you’re not there. The acting Secretary of the Air Force, Michael Dominguez, told me to keep the continuity going. If there’s a gap in the transition process the good news is I’m here. I’m learning everything I can because the place has changed a lot. All the folks here are dedicated to developing cadets into leaders of character. My job is to be the home team that’s watching what’s going on, making sure we don’t miss anything along the way. I’m glad I’m here with General Rosa, who I’ve known for quite a while. He’s a great officer who’s done great work here and is teaching me the ropes(along) with generals Weida and Born and Dr. Mueh. I purposely got here two days before the new class arrived, less than three weeks after I was told to be here. I wanted to watch how all this went so I could be part of it. General Weida and I have been leading the 3- and 5-mile walks. With everything that goes on this is an opportunity for me to keep the ball rolling. Spirit: What can the Academy expect from the new vice superintendent? General Halter: I’ve been a boss before. I haven’t been a vice boss before. That takes a little different talent. You still need to be a leader, but lead quietly, understand your boss’s vector and be the guy who translates that. You make sure the boss gets all he needs but no more than he needs because he’s a busy guy. He can’t make every decision here and he doesn’t want to. I’m going to figure out what can I do to make him more effective in his job. I told the senior staff recently as I get older I’m not going to teach cadets physics, that’s a bad idea. I’m not the civil engineer who makes sure the plumbing works, the person ensuring military family housing is OK, the person making sure someone gets paid or the AOC (Air Off icer Commanding) staying up overnight with a sick cadet or a family to resolve a problem. My job is to make the jobs of everyone who takes care of this place easier. When people see me at orientations and stuff I want them to be honest with me. Tell me what their issues are. What’s good about your job and what can be better? What resources do you need? I cannot promise anyone I can change anything. I can promise, if they convince me of their cause, I’ll get back to the boss and maybe give him options to address issues. The bottom line mission here is as important as the day-to-day mission in Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere else in the operational Air Force. In some ways it may be the most important. We’re building the future of the Air Force and that’s a sacred trust. There’s no better place to do it than the Academy. Everyone here is part of that mission. If you’re having a bad day go to one of the overlooks or the terrazzo, if you’re allowed to, watch what’s going on and remind yourself why you’re here. That will keep you going. It keeps me going. “To go to a service academy, is still a big deal... because we develop the whole person.” - Brig. Gen. Irv Halter Academy Vice Superintendent 4 NEWS Cadet court martialed, sentenced for theft By the Academy Spirit staff A cadet was court martialed and sentenced to six months of confinement and total forfeitures of pay July 19. Cadet 4th Class Dustin Rotbart stole six books and a coin collection from the Academy Library’s Gimbel Collection in April, valued at more than $12,000 said Capt. Jeremiah Crowley, Academy Assistant Staff Judge Advocate. Rotbart ws leaving the Academy and on his last day, his roommates discovered the books in his book bag, said the legal off icial. The roommates secured the books and notif ied their chain of command, which had them report the incident to security forces investigations. The cadet was charged with violating Article 121 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice for larceny. • • Academy Spirit July 29, 2005 For allegation of sexual assault, the Academy has a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) and victim advocate (VA) on-call to ensure the respectful and dignified care of the victim. If a victim of sexual assault confides in a fellow cadet, the victim should be directed to call the SARC immediately at 333-SARC in order to discuss restricted (confidential) and unrestricted (non-confidential) reporting options.

Ref: p. 9, para 1.4.2 The Cadet Sight Picture (Cadet Wing Manual 36-3501) provides an insight into the day-to-day requirements for cadets. GAMES continued from Page 1 to adhere to all the security and safety requirements because they make good, common sense,” Mr. Novak said. An event of this magnitude takes no less than a total team effort to pull it off successfully. The Academy works administratively in concert with Colorado’s Rocky Mountain State Games and the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. Day-to-day operations are handled locally. “A lot of planning and coordination goes into this to make sure everything is in place and ready to go,” Mr. Novak explained. “Our events management staff works diligently with the J & J Maintenance folks who help set up the facilities and different venue sites. We coordinate with security forces about security issues, traffic and other concerns they may have. The base wing is instrumental in figuring out logistics, such as signage, ensuring roadways are clear and more.” The road was cleared in 1978 for the State Games concept in New York with the Empire State Games. In 2004 more than 500,000 athletes competed in State Games nationwide. The State Games of America was previously held in St. Louis, Mo., in 1999 and 2001 and in Hartford, Conn., in 2003. To qualify for this State Games of America, athletes must have won a gold, silver or bronze medal in their local State Games in 2003 or 2004 or be Colorado residents for at least 30 days prior to the competition. College students, U. S. military personnel and their families stationed in Colorado may also participate. “Plan on getting here early,” Mr. Novak advised Academy visitors. “Remember, you’re at altitude so stay hydrated and use sunscreen.” ATTENTION All Brides & Grooms to be: MYSTIC MEADOWS EVENT & CONFERENCE CENTER Presents: “THE ENCHANTED WEDDING FESTIVAL” Stroll 10 acres of beautiful landscape, Meet Wedding Specialists, Enter the Fun, Bridal Contests (and win cash prizes), Enjoy Free Food, Paddle Boat Rides And More!

A child attending the Youth Fire Safety Camp is competing in the bucket brigade. The children filled smaller pails with water from a large horse trough and ran to fill the smaller containers to see whose team could fill it the fastest. Some got more water on themselves than in the pails. (Courtesy Photo) It wasn’t routine kids’ stuff; instruction merged fun with useful lessons. The morning portion was fire safety education like fire extinguisher training, exit drills in the home, having a meeting place outside, checking smoke alarms and crawling low in smoke. The afternoon was the mini fire safety muster with the hose roll, fire stream competition and the bucket brigade. Even Smokey Bear and Sparky showed. Children received instruction in a variety of important topics including recognizing common household fire hazards and how to correct them, proper and safe use of f ire extinguishers, an explanation and demonstration of firefighter protective clothing and recognizing and reporting emergencies. The fun side of the day was highlighted by the bucket brigade, hose rolling competition and hitting a target with a water stream from a fire hose. “It is important that we reinforce these fundamental safety practices and make them a part of our children’s daily routine” said Assistant Fire chief Dennis Chaltry. Megan Stonestreet (foreground), guided by base firefighter Staff Sgt. Daniel Arens, practices the “hose roll” in the afternoon Mini Fire Muster held at Fire Station 1 during the Youth Fire Safety Camp.

Eagle Scout Ben Blieber brought approximately 20 boy scouts to the base Saturday to remove dwarf mistletoe from three acres of forest near the community center. “I have been in Boy Scouts for about seven years,” said Blieber. “To obtain Boy Scouts highest rank of Eagle Scout, you have to do an Eagle Service Project. Since the Academy sponsors my troop, I wanted to provide a service for them.” It could save the lives of trees. “Dwarf mistletoe is a parasitic plant that grows on various tree species,” said Diane Strohm, natural resources planner. “It weakens and sometimes kills trees by extracting food and nutrients. Its seeds are expelled at up to 60 mph, infecting other trees and limbs, sometimes up to 60 feet away. Mistletoe often stresses trees, predisposing them to attack by bark beetles. It is a serious problem across portions of the Academy in Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir.” For this project, the scouts worked in small groups on different parts of the forest. Before the scouts arrived, the boundary of the area they were working in was marked off, and the trees that needed to be cut down were flagged. “In addition to pruning the trees with mistletoe on them, we also cut down the trees flagged in red and cut down any dead branches on mistletoe trees,” said Blieber. “The tools that we used to accomplish this project include pole saws, pruning saws, hand saws, bow saws, loppers, and pole loppers.” While the scouts learned to clear the mistletoe, safety was also in mind. “We had a first aid kit on site, and everyone was required to wear closed toed shoes, leather gloves and safety goggles,” said Blieber.” “Pruning the trees leaves the forest much healthier,” said Ms. Strohm. “It also entailed cutting some trees that are competing with others in dense pockets.” The scouts have done several annual Eagle Scout projects on the Academy, including trail work, erosion projects, and planting. Many cadets attending the Academy are past Eagle Scouts. New Housing Allowance Guidelines Won’t Result in Pay Cut By Army Sgt. Sara Wood American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON - Defense officials are eliminating the “geographic rate protection” clause that ensures servicemembers moving to a new area receive the same housing allowance as those already there. Geographic rate protection is expiring in January because Basic Allowance for Housing rates have reached a level where servicemembers no longer have to pay outof-pocket expenses for housing, said Air Force Col. Virginia Penrod, DoD director of military compensation. Any rate cut from year to year will not negatively affect servicemembers who are remaining in the area where they already receive BAH, she noted. Penrod stressed that the BAH rate is set at the average housing cost for the area. Rates are further set based on military rank, with each pay-grade level having a set acceptable standard of housing. Servicemembers may still have to pay some out-of-pocket expenses if they choose to live above that level. Conversely, if servicemembers choose to live below the average level, they will still receive the same BAH rate. Troops still have “individual rate protection” as long as they stay within the same geographic area. If average housing costs in a given geographic area go down, troops already living in that area continue to receive the higher amount. However, troops moving into that area receive the lower amount. Geographic rate protection was a temporary protection put into effect to prevent troops of the same pay grade living in the same area from getting different amounts of housing allowance. Rate protection was instituted in 2000 to ensure troops' BAH rates were the same among like-pay grade individuals living in the same area while troops were still paying part of their own housing expenses, Penrod explained. Now that BAH rates are high enough to cover servicemembers' entire housing expenses, geographic rate protection isn't necessary, she said. “It was a short-term program,” she said. “We always had in our minds that we would eliminate the protection once the out-of-pocket (expenses) went to zero.” Under the new BAH guidelines, a servicemember moving to a new area will receive the appropriate BAH rate for that area, regardless of whether troops already living there are receiving a higher rate, she said. This change makes financial sense, Penrod said. “We're adjusting rates to where they should be,” she said. Each year, BAH rates are adjusted with input from military housing offices in the area, Penrod said. If it is determined the rate needs to be increased, all servicemembers living in that area will receive the increase.

Sgt. Jennifer Thibault Air Force Space Command Public Affairs Air Force Print News PETERSON AFB, Colo. — Almost two weeks after its original launch date, NASA’s Discovery Shuttle rocketed into space July 26, but they didn’t do it alone. “NASA could not launch the space shuttle without range and space surveillance support from Air Force Space Command,” said Jeffrey Ashby, former astronaut and liaison between the command and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. “The dedication and attention to detail of AFSPC members are absolutely necessary for safe operation of the space shuttle.” Support was provided by Airmen of the 1st Space Control Squadron, 45th Space Wing, 21st Space Wing, 14th Air Force and Air Force Space Command. Each unit is part of the command’s combined efforts to meet both launch and on-orbit space shuttle requirements. “We support NASA through our space surveillance network,” said Lt. Col. David Maloney, chief of the space situation awareness branch. “Our network consists of 31 radars and telescopes that track more than 13,000 man-made objects on a daily basis.” This information comes into play when NASA officials plan the shuttle’s launch and orbit path. “It’s important to know where all of the objects are because we certainly don’t want to launch the shuttle into the oncoming path of an orbiting manmade space object that is sufficient size to damage the shuttle,” Colonel Maloney said. Outside of the space situation awareness support, the safety and range/spacelift division at AFSPC headquarters also contributes to the shuttle launch. “After the last launch, NASA said they needed better cameras,” said Maj. Vince Cassara, chief of the division. “During the past two years we have worked on enhancements at the range to include long-range cameras that can track the shuttle after launch and improved video playback capabilities.” Major Cassara’s division also assists with range money and equipment issues and oversight for the day-to-day operations.

The 12-day mission is the first shuttle flight since the Columbia disaster nearly two and a half years ago, is aimed at servicing and resupplying the space station. Commander Eileen Collins and pilot James Kelly are among the crew members. The 48-year-old Collins graduated from Colorado Springs’ Webster University in 1989 and attended graduate school at the University of Colorado in Boulder. She also was an assistant professor in mathematics at the U.S. Air Force Academy as well as a T-41 instructor pilot. This is Collins’ fourth shuttle flight.

Matt Gilreath 21st Space Wing Public Affairs More than 1,400 basic cadets from the Academy, the largest class since 1988, visited Peterson Air Force Base July 19 and 20 to look at their flying options upon graduation. Some of the cadets may choose to fly aircraft that travel several hundred mph or a satellite that travels tens of thousands mph. Capt. Scott Bowshot, 94th Flying Training Squadron soaring instructor pilot was here to greet the cadets and answer question about flying. “This is the first opportunity we get to recruit the cadets to become fighter pilots or fly heavies,” Captain Bowshot said. “We want to spark their interest now and get them focused on what they want to do when they graduate.” The cadets’ focus turned to the F117 Nighthawk from Holloman AFB, N.M. Basic Cadet Bradley Carrell spent his first two years as an enlisted servicemember with the 805th Communications Squadron at Scott AFB, Ill. performing communications apprentice duties before pursuing his dream of being an officer and a pilot. “I figured if I was going to be an officer, the Academy was the best place to get the training and experience I needed,” Basic Cadet Carrell said. “I’ve never been this close to a Stealth fighter before,” Carrell said. “This is awesome. I get to talk to the pilots and they get to share their flying experiences with me and answer my questions.” With the focus on recruiting pilots, some of the cadets said they had never thought of the possibility of piloting a satellite hundreds of miles out in space. Master Sgt. Timothy Stumph, 21st Operations Support Squadron, NCO in charge of space control training, was there to tell the cadets about satellite operations. “This year’s group of cadets was an exceptionally bright group,” Sergeant Stumph said. “They asked lots questions about space, different orbits, satellite operations and specifics about the Space Command mission. “I was really impressed with the knowledge some of the cadets already had about satellites. I have no doubt they will be a great asset to us in the future,” Sergeant Stumph said. The cadets will complete Basic Cadet Training over the next couple of weeks before assuming the rank of cadet 4th class and beginning classroom instruction at the Academy. QDR will reflect tomorrow’s,not today’s,challenges By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON (AFPN) — Military leaders will resist any temptation to assume the force needed for the future will be a cookie-cutter version of today’s needs, Gen. Richard B. Myers said here July 25. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was talking about how the military will examine its forces, resources and programs during the upcoming 2005 Quadrennial Defense Review. The QDR, he told the group, needs to consider the broad range of missions the U.S. military could be called to support. These run the gamut from full-scale combat operations to nontraditional missions ranging from counterinsurgency missions to stability operations as well as homeland defense. “We want to make sure, when we get our forces set here in the early part of the 21st century, that they can deal with a wide variety of threats,” General Myers said. “We cannot focus on just one area.” Similarly, he said, planners cannot assume future operations will be run like today’s. “The way Afghanistan was fought was different than the way Iraq was fought, and Iraq will be different than whatever we will be called on to do next, whether it’s humanitarian assistance or peacekeeping or whatever it might be,” General Myers said. “We have to be careful that we don’t fall victim to templates of what we are currently doing now.” How to create the best-structured, -trained and equipped force for these various missions will be the QDR’s “essence,” the general said.

The most recent Quadrennial Defense Review, conducted in 2001, occurred just before the U.S. entered the war on terrorism later that year. Much of that review’s emphasis was on transforming the military from its Cold War posture to a lighter, more capable and deployable force better suited to 21stcentury threats. 10 Academy Spirit July 29, 2005 TAIJI ACUPUNCTURE ALLERGY RELIEF WEEK • HAY FEVER • SINUS INFECTION • FOOD ALLERGY • SKIN ALLERGY Open Sat. $40 OFF for the 1st Visit ADDITIONAL 30% OFF for active & recently retired military personnel & their spouses Debbie Hsiao Ki Ting MSOM, L.Ac., Dipl.AC & C.H.

Jamie Dana, a dog handler assigned to the 21st Security Forces Squadron at Peterson Air Force Base, was seriously injured a month into her sixmonth deployment to Iraq when an improvised explosive device hit her convoy during a patrol near Kirkuk Regional Air Base. Academy personnel deployed to the 506th Expeditionary Medical Squadron helped save her life. “Sergeant Dana was one of several casualties from that explosion,” said Col. Steven Chambers, 506th EMEDS Hospital commander, Kirkuk Regional Air Base. “She was the most seriously injured, and her injuries were life threatening. When we got word of their imminent arrival, my whole group was mobilized to come in to assist with the casualties.” There are currently 18 medical personnel deployed to Kirkuk from the Academy’s 10th Medical Group and 10th Medical Operations Squadron. Along with others from Travis AFB, Calif., and Buckley AFB, Colo., they were the first medics to treat Sergeant Dana. She arrived with a very severe pelvic fracture and was near death from hemorrhagic shock. “Most of the Academy personnel were involved with her care from one standpoint or another,” said Col. Chambers, who is also the Academy’s 10th MDOS commander. “It was known by many of my staff that she was an Air Force dog handler and some knew that her home station was Peterson. But it was a hectic day for all of us, so we did not focus on that.” “Normally I handle command and control issues during trauma situations like coordinating the arrival of injured airmen and soldiers, recalling the medical team, and coordinating emergency transportation on to more definitive care,” said Capt. Angela Blackwell, squadron administrator. “In Jamie’s case, I ended up assisting in the treatment room by stabilizing her head and neck, and talking to her to keep her calm while the medical providers were working to assess her injuries. “It never fails to surprise me how brave the airmen and soldiers are when they are brought to us. Jaime was no different. She was in a lot of pain, but she was very brave and very patient while the doctors worked to assess the extent of her injuries.” Once Sergeant Dana had been stabilized, she was medically evacuated to the Air Force Theater Hospital at Balad, and then to the medical center at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany. “Sergeant Dana is now at Walter Reed, where I understand she is improving slowly,” said Colonel Chambers. Though saving Sgt. Dana’s life was a remarkable coincidence, it was all just part of the job for the Airmen of the Deployed members of the 506th EMEDS treat a patient at Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraq. (Air Force Photo) Tech. Sgt. Jamie Dana was presented the Purple Heart July 22 by (from right) Michael L. Dominguez, Acting Secretary of the Air Force, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John P.

Sergeant Dana was wounded when an improvised explosive device struck the Humvee she was riding in. (Photo by Mickey Sanborn) 506th EMEDS. “We make up a small forward placed Expeditionary Medical Support Hospital,” said Colonel Chambers. “Our role is to have casualties brought into us, get stabilized and transferred on to the next higher echelon of care. We triage patients from the most serious to the least serious. We use what is called the ‘golden hour.’ If we can intervene within an hour of the injury, we have more of a chance of saving the service member’s life.” Some senior personnel have deployed to Iraq before, and bring years of experience to the expeditionary base. “The Academy team has jelled into a top notch trauma and critical care team,” said Col. Brian Peyton, who is filling the sole vascular surgeon slot from Buckley AFB, Colo. “The rapid evacuation of patients to higher levels of care thousands of miles away has no counterpart in the U.S. conflict and is brought into focus for us every time we receive word that an injured American is coming.” For those deploying for the first time, the reality of the conflict can be jarring. “Seeing patients first-hand has been shocking, to be able to see what the terrorists are capable of,” said Senior Airman Amanda Frush, medical logistics. “You always hear about it, but this is my first time witnessing it personally. I didn’t see anything like it on my last deployment.” As shocking as a war zone deployment can be, the experience is invaluable to those Airmen who share it. “This is my first deployment and I wouldn’t have missed the opportunity for anything,” said Captain Blackwell. “It has been my first chance to see and do what I’ve been training for all of my Air Force career. It’s amazing how years of training kick in and you automatically do the right thing at the right time. There is no such thing as an ‘average’ day anymore; they all start to blend together.” “The deployment experience is a rollercoaster of emotions and events,” said Senior Airman Amber Parris, emergency medical technician. “It is something that I don’t think a medic can really be fully prepared for. The injuries that we deal with here are so different from what we see in the states. In the past two months I have seen more hatred, pain and suffering, love and compassion than ever before in my life.” Even the ordinary days have an element of the extraordinary for those living and working in Kirkuk. “As a medic there really isn’t a set ‘average’ work day,” said Airman Parris. “We tend to see between 15-25 patients in a 24-hour period, but that could range from bug bites and the KRAB crud (gastroenteritis), to gunshot wounds or IED injuries. We see a variety of patients as well: Iraqi Air Force, Iraqi Army, Department of Defense contractors, Army and Air Force personnel.” “Unfortunately, traumas are not rare enough to stand out as single significant events,” said Captain Blackwell. “We have many trauma cases and every Airman and Soldier, man and woman, American and Iraqi are treated with the same level of urgency and respect in life and death. We feel for and care about all of them from the time they are brought in through our doors until long after they have moved on.” “There is no telling what each day will bring,” said Airman Parris. 12 FEAT March to Jacks Valley Basic cadets focus on next trai By Eddie Kovsky Academy Spirit staff Basic cadets began their final two weeks of training July 22 morning with a 7.8 mile hike out to the training complex in Jacks Valley. The class of 2009 marched from the Terrazzo to Jacks Valley’s tent city, which they will call home for the next two weeks during the field portion of basic cadet training. The nine basic cadet training squadrons, consisting of almost 1,400 basic cadet trainees, along with their cadet training cadre and Academy leaders, marched out of the cadet area at 6:45 a.m., led by Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. John Rosa and Brig. Gen. John Weida, commandant of cadets.

Of all the obstacle courses, Operation Warrior is the only course that runs for the entirety of the day. The course is designed to leave the basics feeling “lost in the woods.” “It’s more meat and potatoes,” said Master Sgt. Charles Jetton, Academy military instructor. “Ops Warrior rolls right in with Global Engagement and summer deployments. What they learned here is the foundation of their military education. Foundations are important.” Instead of returning to the dining tent for lunch and dinner, basics spent the whole day on the course and enjoyed authentic ‘meals-ready-to-eat’ out in the field.

The space shuttle launched July 26 from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on a 12-day mission to test new flight safety procedures and deliver supplies to the station. The Materials on the International Space Station Experiment were installed by the Space Shuttle Discovery crew in August 2001 for what was to be a one-year science experiment to learn how different materials react when exposed to the rigors of space, said Michael Stropki. He is a scientist with the Air Force Research Laboratory’s materials and manufacturing directorate here where the experiments originated. When the shuttle Columbia exploded on re-entry Feb. 1, 2003, the experiments were forced to wait for a return to Earth aboard the recent Discovery mission. “While the experiments were originally planned to spend only one year in space, having existed four years there may have eroded away the entire material in a few of the specimens,” said Mr. Stropki, who was the initial program manager on the project in 2001. “In those cases, it will not be possible to know just how soon it took to reach failure,” he said. “While at the same time, for other more successful candidates, the additional time in space will likely show that those materials have a greater durability and are able to survive the space envi- ronment for the longer periods needed for these materials.” The goal of the experiment is to discover how materials are affected by exposure in an effort to develop more durable, reliable and affordable materials and technologies for future space vehicles. “This information is crucial to providing the needed space materials for the 21st century,” said Pat Valentino, AFRL’s current program manager. “New, affordable materials are the enablers for advanced reusable launch systems and advanced spacecraft systems, including optics, sensors, electronics, power, coatings, structural materials and protection.” While at home on the orbiting space laboratory, the experiments have been housed in four passive experiment carriers, similar to suitcases, which NASA astronauts placed at strategic locations on the outside of the ISS. Some of the specimens include optical materials and coatings, lightweight radiation shielding materials, thermal control coatings (flight paint), Kevlar and carbon foams, multilayer insulation materials, solar cell technology and specialty materials such as shape-memory foil and X-ray resistant coatings. At the direction of AFRL scientists, NASA integrators placed most of the specimens in aluminum trays that hold roughly 46 samples. Other specimens were installed directly onto the trays, while a few specimens were bolted underneath the base plates to ensure they were exposed only to solar radiation. Besides Air Force experiments, the experiment payload carries 11 handpicked experiments from six Dayton, Ohio, area students in first through 10th grades. “Their assignment was to identify a problem associated with long duration The graphic shows the locations where the Air Force experiments are located on the International Space Station. They will be retrieved and returned home Aug. 7 by the Space Shuttle Discovery crew as part of their mission.

Included are experiments to learn how contamination migrates in a microgravity environment, how materials degrade, radiation shielding tests and the effect of space on viral protein and nonpathogenic bacteria. All the specimens have faced such grueling perils as ultraviolet ray bombardment by highly corrosive atomic oxygen, and exposure to intense solar radiation during maximum solar activity, Ms. Valentino said.

The Medics paraded 19 batters to the plate in the fourth inning Monday night, exploding for 16 runs and 15 hits in the frame, en route to a 26-3 rout of J & J Maintenance in Academy Intramural Softball League action on Field 1. The game was called after four innings due to the 20-run rule. Hospital’s airtight defense was equally dominant. The Medics did not commit an error and limited J & J to just two harmless singles over the last three innings. The wet weather conditions made their glove work even more impressive. “A lot of our guys have played in rainy, cruddy conditions before,” Hospital Academy Intramural Softball League Standings through Tuesday AMERICAN Team W–L Hospital #1 11 – 1 Security Forces 10 – 2 J&J 9–4 Comm 7–6 Athletics 5–8 NATIONAL Team 34th TRW Fire Department 10th MSS Hospital #2 W–L 8–5 6–7 6–8 0 -14 first baseman Mark Lomenick emphasized. “You still have to play regardless of the weather.” And play they did, by design. “Before the game, Coach (Kevin) Ciesla stressed playing the best defense we could because of the rain,” Hospital shortstop Luke Hopstad said. “He put a really strong defensive lineup out there tonight.” J & J was hoping to bounce back from their July 11, 31-14 loss to the Medics. Hospital dashed those hopes early. The first six Medic batters reached base and scored in the opening frame. Nolee Agulto keyed the uprising with a two-run double. Lomenick’s run-scoring double, Ciesla’s RBI single plus sacrifice flies by Marlon Brown and Edwin Trias helped put J & J in a 6-0 hole. The Damiens responded for J & J in their half of the first. Dad Jack ripped a two-run double high off the right center field fence and son Derek followed with an RBI double to cut the deficit in half. That’s the closest J & J would come. Hospital began to pull away in the second thanks to Lomenick’s two-run home run. It was one of his three extrabase hits in the game. “We try to emulate his swing,” a kidding Hopstad said of his talented teammate. “He leads by example. He’s a good ball player. He hits the ball hard and square.” An infield error cost J & J another run in the third as Hospital ballooned its lead to 10-3. Two more J & J miscues in the fourth Hospital’s Greg Stapleton slides home safely Monday under an errant throw past J & J Maintenance catcher Sarah Scalise, as umpire Don Gaskill and Stapelton’s teammates look on. (Photo by Danny Meyer) contributed to the fateful fourth inning collapse. But, it was the Hospital’s hitting clinic that won it. The Medics merry-go-round on the bases was highlighted by four homers, two- and three-run shots by Hopstad, plus a two-run blast by Todd Mangus and a solo variety from Trias. Five Hospital hitters each collected two hits in the fourth, including Wade Dolbow, who went four-for-four, all singles, part of the Medics 28-hit attack. “The last three years I’ve been here this team’s been a long ball hitting group,” Lomenick recalled. “That’s how we generate a lot of our runs. But, we can get base hits when the home runs are used up.” (The AISL employs a five home run limit rule.) Hospital’s victory, coupled with it’s 26-19 win over the 10th Communication Squadron in game two Monday, gave the Medics (11-1) sole possession of first place by one game, at press time, over Security Forces in the AISL National League. J & J dropped to 9-4. Academy, MWC eye sportsmanship, scholars By Wayne Amann Academy Spirit staff As the fall sports season gears up across the country it’s time for the annual Mountain West Conference Sportsmanship Initiative. It’s an important reminder to everyone what college athletics are all about. The MWC 2005-06 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which includes the Academy’s Kristen Hamlett of the women’s volleyball team, issued a letter recently to conference students outlining its position. It reads: “The Mountain West Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee believes the most important aspects of sport are good ethics and positive sportsmanship. We are very pleased the Conference continues its initiative to enhance this philosophy. We need your assistance to make this effort a success. “The SAAC believes that, in order for an institution to convey a message of good ethics and positive sportsmanship, it must have the involvement and participation of everyone involved with athletics on campus. This includes, but is not limited to, the president, athletics administrators, coaches, student-athletes and you – the students/fans. It is our behavior that will shape the perception of our institutions and teams by the public, the media and our opponents. “Good ethics and positive sportsmanship are philosophies that must be displayed both on and off the playing field. We must take a leadership role to compete at the highest levels, always endeavoring to win, but doing so with grace, class, dignity and respect. “Please join us in supporting the Conference’s Sportsmanship Initiative. Such an effort will help make the Mountain West Conference one of the premier athletic conferences in the country, and represent our institutions well.” Meanwhile, the MWC office, July 11, named six swimmers from the Falcons swimming and diving team as Mountain West Conference Scholar-Athletes for the 2004-05 season. Representing the men’s team are junior Matt Karmondy, sophomore Matt Sievers and freshman Spencer Liedl.

Ellen Harr 59th Medical Wing Public Affairs Air Force Print News LACKLAND AFB, Texas — With the grueling hours that most medical residents work, many are content to spend their precious “free” hours catching up on sleep. Capt. (Dr.) James Bales, an orthopedics resident with the 859th Surgical Operations Squadron here at Wilford Hall Medical Center, is no exception. But he is just as likely to spend his rare moments of free time running, swimming or cycling. After graduating from the Academy in 2001, Dr. Bales headed to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., for medical school. When his courses began, he found that the school charged $6 a day for parking. To save money, Dr. Bales decided to run or bike the 10-mile commute to and from school each day. The decision saved him money. It was also the beginning of his career as a triathlete. As a child growing up on a farm in eastern Colorado, James and his brothers often helped their father by exercising the sheep in the evenings. “We chased them around for 40 minutes every night. It helps the sheep develop lean muscle mass. I guess you could say that’s how I started running,” Dr. Bales said. During Dr. Bales’ time as a cadet at the academy, he was part of the swim team. A breaststroke specialist, he made e n i L n o i t c Call the A ! s e u s s i e to resolv 333-3900 the Olympic Trial cuts in 2000. “After swimming (at the academy), I found that I was a pretty good runner. Eventually, I began competing in triathlons,” he said. Dr. Bales’ unique combination of training and commuting to medical school led him to become the top-ranked triathlete in the Air Force for the past three years. He has competed in Ironman triathlons in Hawaii and Wisconsin and qualified for the Olympic Trials in the triathlon for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. His accomplishments also include four regional championships. Even as a medical student, Dr. Bales was able to participate in about 25 races per season. “My philosophy on racing, espe- cially as an orthopedic surgeon, is that we see patients who don’t have the ability to run or even walk. You really feel blessed. It’s truly a gift to be out there competing and racing,” he said. “I’m thankful that the Air Force really supports physical fitness activities.” After graduating from medical school, Dr. Bales began his residency at Wilford Hall. He continues to balance work and athletics. “One of my criteria for buying a house when I came to San Antonio was that it would allow me to commute to Wilford Hall on bike,” he said. “Right now, orthopedics and patient care are my top priorities. I continue to train just for the love of it. Hopefully I’ll be able to maintain a baseline level of fitness. It’s also a great stress reliever.” The Action Line, 333-3900, is a forum to resolve unanswered complaints. Call, write or send an e-mail to action.line@usafa.af.mil.
