Brackin 1st Special Operations Wing Public Affairs Air Force and Army military working dog handlers and their four-legged partners gathered for the Emerald Coast K-9 Clash on Hurlburt Field, Nov. 15. The event, hosted by the 1st Special Operations Security Forces Squadron, is the first of its kind to be held here. The clash allowed military working dog teams from across the Department of Defense to come together, garner experience from each other and test their knowledge in dog-handling, through various competitions, according to Staff Sgt. April Walker, event coordinator and 1st SOSFS military working dog trainer. “For our guys, participating in this event has been really amazing,” said Walker. “They were able to train, compete against and work with other dog handlers, while expanding that network of people within the same career field.” The all-day competition consisted of searching buildings, navigating a jungle obstacle course, patrolling scenarios and a variety of other events. It concluded with an Iron Dog competition, a race which began with a 5-mile ruck, 2-mile run and ended with a buddy carry in which competitors slugged their furry partners for 1 mile. This event has been a learning experience for all the handlers involved regardless their service, according to Tech. Sgt. Dennis Luczak, security forces training program manager for Air Force Special Operations Command and judge for one of the events. Participants were judged in a variety of areas including their ability to work together as a team, maintain control of their dogs and navigate courses - all while employing correct tactics. “For a lot of the dog handlers this was their first time competing. We had the 7th Special Forces Group guys who had the most obstacles to overcome because they traditionally don’t use their dogs for cop work,” said Luczak, “Despite this, they held their own during the events and Mackay Trophy returns to AFSOC By Airman 1st Class Jeff Parkinson 1st Special Operations Wing Public Affairs Senior Airman Kentavist P.

Staff Sgt. Philip Hines, 1st SOSFS military working dog handler, and his partner, Szuli, earned the Best Patrol Team and Best Decoy Medals. The duo also garnered the Top Dog Team plaque, the highest award for the competition. Hines attributed his win to all the training he and his partner received from within their unit. “It’s a good feeling to be able to Senior Airman Kentavist P.

It just goes to show how hard we train here.” Under heavy enemy fire Dec. 21, 2013, the crew of Rooster 73 performed expert aerial maneuvers while simultaneously providing medical care to the critically-injured passengers on board their CV-22 Osprey. The 8th Special Operations Squadron crew’s heroic efforts during the flight resulted in the safe evacuation of American citizens from the remote city of Bor, South Sudan, and earned them the 2013 Mackay Trophy, which was presented during a ceremony Nov. 5. In 1912, Clarence Mackay presented the first Mackay Trophy to then-2nd Lt. Henry H. ‘Hap’ Arnold for a reconnaissance competition flown over Virginia and later deeded it to the National Aeronautic Association. Administered by the U.S. Air Force and NAA, the trophy is awarded annually for the “most meritorious flight of the year” by an Air Force person, persons, or organization. When awarded, the recipient’s name is engraved onto the trophy where it is then displayed at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Other notable Mackay Trophy recipients in the Air Force Special Operations Command include a 16th Special Operations Squadron AC-130H crew who received their award in 1990 for airmanship Courtesy photo Members of Rooster 73 Flight pose for a group photo after being presented the 2013 Mackay Trophy for the most meritorious flight of the year at the National Aeronautic Association Fall Awards Dinner Nov. 5 in Arlington, Va. and outstanding professionalism during an aerial flight over the Republic of Panama during Operation Just Cause. Another AFSOC MC130H crew earned the Mackay Trophy in 1997 for overcoming hostile gunfire, three heavyweight air refuelings, and more than 13 hours flying 3,179 nautical miles to their objective. The crew successfully inserted a European survey and assessment team and extracted 56 people from the carnage and wanton violence in Brassaville, Republic of Congo. They achieved this goal while on the ground for less than 23 minutes. “It’s great to have the prestigious Mackay Trophy back in AFSOC. These crews earned it by performing flawlessly under extremely hostile conditions,” said Lt. Col. Travis Hill, 8th SOS commander. “I’m extremely proud of how they reacted; from the skills training and systems knowledge to the overall professionalism they displayed. It’s an indication of the quality and level of excellence required by the crews we have in the CV-22 community and AFSOC.” After coordinating multiple air-to-air refuelings, the crews of Rooster 73 Flight successfully returned to Entebbe with the wounded still alive. “Their dedication to duty, professionalism, bravery, courage and airmanship was on display during the aerial flight supporting a non-combatant evacuation order in the vicinity of Bor, South Sudan,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III. “The distinctive accomplishments of Rooster 73 Flight reflect greatly on the caliber of our United States Air Force Airmen.” Visit Our Model, Open Daily 11a-4p (closed Thanksgiving Day & Black Friday) 168 Whispering Creek Ave., Freeport, FL 32439 For map & directions: www.bit.ly/ccestates Ask us about incentives & Zero Down 100% Financing!

Older fryer units designed for outdoor use and those that employ a stand are particularly vulnerable to spilling oil or being knocked over. “There is a new outdoor turkey-cooking appliance that does not use oil. These oil-less turkey fryers are a safer alternative to traditional hot oil fryers,” said Richards. “It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using IN THE BX TRICARE-PRIME MEDICARE 2113395 Dr. Richard Reed Optometrist Comprehensive Eye Exams Consultation for PRK & LASIK Contact Lens Exams Walk-Ins Welcome Pre/Post Op Care Civil Services & Defense State-of-the-art Diagnostic Equipment Optometry and Diseases of the Eye The Eglin AFB Vision Center is here to serve!

Overheating can occur if the appliance has no temperature controls or if the temperature controls, designed to shut the fryer off if the oil overheats, are defective. Once cooking oil is heated beyond its cooking temperature, its vapors can ignite. “Always have a fully charged and nearby fire extinguisher on hand within the immediate cooking area. Follow the instructions on the label when using it and remember to call 9-1-1 after a fire accident,” Richards said. Other Thanksgiving safety tips from the Fire Dept. include: Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop to keep an eye on the food. Stay in the home when cooking turkey and check on it frequently. Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns. Keep the floor clear Senior Airman Christopher Callaway | USAF Firefighters from the 1st Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron observe a fire break out during a safety demonstration at the fire training area on Hurlburt Field Nov. 27, 2013. of tripping hazards such as toys or bags. Keep knives out of the reach of children. Ensure that cords from items such as electric knifes, coffee makers, plate warmers or mixers are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child. Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children. 9:45 am Sunday School 11:00 am Morning Worship 6:00 pm Evening Service Never leave children alone in a room with a lit a candle. Make sure smoke alarms are working by pushing the test button. Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay three feet away. “Always remember to change your batteries on your smoke detectors twice a year and test them monthly,” Richards said. “Following these fire safety tips will help ensure you have a safe and delicious Thanksgiving meal.” 7:00 pm Adult Bible Study, Children and Youth Programs Now Enrolling for Fall Classes Sunday Wednesday A Place to Call Home Mark Stevens, Pastor Special Fall Pricing on Quick Move-In Homes in the Northern Gulf Coast READY NOW!* Freeport | Crestview |Santa Rosa Beach Visit www.DRHorton.com/savings for a full list of included Homes.

Large sums of time are devoted to prepping meat, measuring spices and enduring the tearful vapors of onions; all for one grand meal. Unfortunately, fire safety hazards at home are at their peak for many families during this time. Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment, according to Fred Richards, 1st Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron fire inspector. One of the factors leading to this family holiday being such a fiery safety concern is turkey fryers, and not knowing the difference in various cooking oils. Turkey fryers that use oil can be devastating to personnel if they’re not careful. These fryers use large quantities of cooking oil, heated to temperatures as high as 350 degrees Fahrenheit or more. 2113756 By 1st Special . Operations Civil .

During these missions, the 1st SOW teamed up with its counterparts from the Navy to gain valuable training with joint special operations members. “Our joint partners from the U.S. Naval Special War- fare Command have been very supportive,” said Lt. Col. Phil Forbes 1st Special Operations Air Operations Squadron commander. “There was a full Air Force and Navy partnership during this exercise.” The ground party mis- sions took place at Naval Air Station North Island, Calif., and the air operations were conducted out of MCAS Miramar. During this exercise, the 1st SOW operated on five airfields and used two airspaces for live-fire and airdrop bundles. “We wanted to go somewhere we had never been before, to seek out a new challenge,” Forbes said. “This environment has the ranges that allow us to deploy our weapons systems to the fullest.” Forbes said at the end of the exercise that 1st SOW members proved to be proficient and ready for deployment any time, any place. “This exercise is very beneficial to everyone involved,” Forbes said. “Not only is it readying us for any pop-up contingency that we may have to support but you can see the proficiency of our people when they go downrange – it feeds into their capability when they go into an existing command and control structure.” South Walton Center (850) 200-4160 2112334 he 1st Special Operations Wing held their fourth-quarter Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise, Carbonite Archer, at Marine Corp Air Station Miramar, San Diego, Calif., Nov. 3 through 6. Exercise Carbonite Archer focused on the wing’s ability to deploy aircraft and personnel and to stand-up its warfighting capability anywhere in the world. “We exercise our capabilities by going to different places and working with different airfields, allowing for training options not available back home,” said Maj. Joshua Kirkum, 1st Special Operations Air Operations Squadron assistant director of operations. “This is one of the more challenging exercises the 1st SOW has put on because we had the opportunity, here on a Navy base, to accomplish training we have never been able to during other EDREs.” The 1st SOW provided a total of eight aircraft for this exercise, including four CV22 Ospreys, two U-28s, one MC-130H Talon II and one AC-130U Spooky gunship. In addition to these aircraft, Air Commandos utilized resources and assets from the U.S. Navy and Marines. “This is one of the most important training exercises we can accomplish,” Kirkum said. “If we do not train our ability to get the aircraft to the fight then we cannot do our missions effectively.” The exercise began with Full Mission Profiles, where all 1st SOW assets play part Spring 2015 Senior Airman Christopher Callaway | USAF A CV-22 Osprey from the 8th Special Operations Squadron, flies a training mission near San Diego, Calif. www.nwfsc.edu/schedule EA/EO Friday, November 21, 2014 | Hurlburt Warrior | Page Page | Hurlburt Warrior | Friday, November 21, 2014 Lejeune vets gain by knowing details of 2012 toxin law post-deployment health for the VA’s Office of Public Health. Yet it was only last month that VA began accepting applications from family members requesting payment or reimbursement for private sector care to treat 15 conditions that the law links to the toxin exposure at Lejeune. They are: cancer of lung, esophagus, breast, bladder or kidney; leukemia; multiple myeloma; myelodysplastic syndromes; renal toxicity; hepatic steatosis; female infertility; miscarriage; scleroderma; neurobehavioral effects or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. To qualify for coverage, family members must show they spent at least 30 days at Lejeune or in utero with mothers there from Jan. 1, 1957, to Dec. Tom Philpott 31, 1987. VA will cover any medical costs not covered by other health insurance but only for treatment of those ailments. VA also will make retroactive payments for such care, but only back to March 26, 2013, the date Congress funded the 2012 law through a separate appropriations bill. Lejeune veterans with out-of-pocket health care costs for any one of the 15 conditions are not eligible for retroactive reimbursement, Walters explained. That’s because the law presumes VA has provided care to them since the law was signed. And the law doesn’t provide for retroactive coverage before that date. The law’s greatest weakness for many Lejeune families is that it doesn’t compensate for deaths or illnesses they believe resulted from contaminated water. “This is a huge issue for these people. They want to be compensated,” Walters said. “The law only provides for health care. A lot of people get those two things confused.” VA needed two years to start family member cover- age, she said, because VA effectively had to create a supplemental health insurance plan by writing rules, hiring clinical care reviewers, creating computer systems and billing mechanisms, and developing a method to transmit medical records from civilian doctor offices to VA’s financial service center for review. “We’re been in the business of providing health care to veterans for a very long time. It’s why we exist,” Walters said. “But providing health care or medical services to family members is somewhat new business. That’s why it took a while to flesh out the program, figure out how exactly we were going to comply with the law and provide health care [coverage] to family members.” (To apply online, visit: https://www.clfamilymembers.fsc.va.gov.) Many Lejeune vets still may not know that the 2012 law grants them access to VA healthcare if they spent at least 30 days there over those 31 years — even if they don’t have one of 15 illnesses listed. Word is beginning to spread, however.

Some of the law’s details bitterly disappoint those who believe they’ve been harmed by exposure to poisons. But thousands of veterans who served at Lejeune during that era have gained access to VA healthcare and likely don’t know it yet. The quirkiness of parts of the Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act is coming into sharper focus as the Department of Veterans Affairs takes its final, long-awaited steps to fully implement the complex statute. “Since the day the law was signed [Aug. 6, 2012] VA began providing health care to Lejeune veterans,” said Dr. Terry Walters, deputy chief consultant for 16,320 Lejeune vets had applied for VA healthcare citing the law; only 1231 were receiving care for one of the toxin-related conditions. The Marine Corps estimates that up to a million veterans and dependents lived or worked at Lejeune while the water was contaminated. Many of these vets already were eligible for VA healthcare because of service-connected ailments or financial need. But the law made many more eligible who otherwise wouldn’t be. Some might perceive this as a windfall but the law also creates gaps. For example, it provides no health benefits to reservists who trained for months at Lejeune but today lack official “veteran” status, which the law requires, because they never were called to active duty for at least 180 days. “I have a gentleman with scleroderma who was on active duty for training at Camp Lejeune who I can’t help,” Walters said. “I want to help him but, because we are implementing the law [as written], my hands are tied.” The law also doesn’t help former civilian employees at Lejeune who have one or more of the 15 conditions but no health care coverage. “Did they drink the water? Yes of course they did,” Walters said. A recent study by the Agency for Toxic Substance and Abuse Registry found elevated risk of death for Lejeune civilians from some types of cancers in comparing mortality rates with civilians who had worked at Camp Pendleton, Calif., during the same period. Advocates for Marines, sailors and their families, and lawmakers who fought for passage, know about the law’s quirks. They still view it as an important first step to helping families impacted by contaminants that the Navy Department had failed for years to acknowledge. Sen. Richard Burr (RN.C.) and Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.) had high hurdles to clear to get any Lejeune bill passed, including resistance to new entitlement spending amid a national debt crisis and no conclusive scientific finding that toxins at Lejeune caused the many ailments reported by former Marine Corps families. “Statistically speaking, there has been nothing really solid” to show the toxins caused diseases among Lejeune’s population of that era, said Walters. “There has been hints,” she added. Certainly the water was fouled by trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, benzene and vinyl chloride, which in high concentration can cause health problems. But “the science to show whether drinking the contaminated water results in cancers or adverse health effects is just not mature enough,” Walters said. Given the difficulty “to connect the dots,” she said, Congress voted “to provide some measure of healing, basically, of the injury to families and their active duty service members.” The law’s intent is to get medical care to veterans and afflicted family members who have no other healthcare options. But the law also states that it does so “notwithstanding that there is insufficient medical evidence to conclude that such illnesses or conditions are attributable to such service.” Tom Philpott is a syndicated columnist.
