Air Mobility Command MatchUP 2009 base race. Every active duty, civilian and mission partner can help by registering at least two game pieces, and more is even better. You could win $10,000.

87 and still making the cut - page 14

by Col. Greg Canney6th Dental Squadron commander

After 24 years in uniform, I can safely say that the Air Force provides a world-beating benefit package!

The tangible and intangible benefits of a military career are sometimes difficult to convey, especially to junior staff. “Job security” in the 21st century is far from guaranteed for most Americans, and in a challenging economy and difficult job market, the military compensation and re-tirement plan are indeed attrac-tive and compelling.

For many active duty person-nel, the opportunity to serve and defend the nation is a key moti-vator. For some, limited civilian career options are the primary reason for visiting a military re-cruiter. The attraction of an Air Force career now includes all skill sets, from entry-level to profes-sional, in a diverse assortment of fields.

Frequent review of the Air Force benefits package is as im-portant now as it ever was, and is

a part of mentoring; feedback ses-sions and staff meetings are ex-cellent opportunities to do so. A first term Airman or young CGO may not know the full range of benefits; as family or professional responsibilities increase, different benefits may become more valu-able.

The deposit made into a check-ing account every two weeks is what many junior staff key in on. But a much larger picture emerg-es when we fully account for the “intangibles”, which includes the retirement plan, generous annual leave, educational and training TDYs that provide personal and professional development, holi-days, sick days and perhaps most impressive, medical care! Articles abound in the media on the erod-ing medical benefit in corporate America, high premiums ($1000 per month!) and co-payments that military personnel do not pay. Serving for a career not only brings lifetime retirement pay, but lifelong health benefits that are best described by MasterCard as “priceless”!

Medical Group professionals

enjoy a dual career as Airmen and health care providers, and can take advantage of world-class residency training at military hospitals and AFIT sponsored civilian programs. Annual educa-tional TDYs that last one to three weeks cannot be matched by civilian counterparts in time off to attend and expenses involved. Civilian insurance challenges and managed care has taken the luster off of private practice for many medical providers and increased the appeal of military medicine.

The chance to travel and to live in foreign countries provides experiences that are difficult to put a dollar value on, even for family members. School-age kids who walk the historical sites that state-side kids can only read about receive a superior learning experience. It is education that is hands-on, tangible and enduring. Introduction to foreign languages and for some, mastering a new language, adds to the allure of overseas assignments for all age groups.

Certainly, a military career

is not for everyone, and our standards remain high to gain entrance. But after a 25 year career, it will be fun to look back at all of the great experiences, to cherish the friendships and to fully appreciate the multitude of “benefits” that my career has pro-vided!

Meet the new 6th Ops Group commander


New JCSE commander

Thunderbolt staff report

The 6th Operations Group welcomed Col. Slim Morgan as the new commander during a change of command ceremony here, July 17. Col Morgan comes to MacDill from his last as-signment as the Chief of Programs at Air Mo-bility Command Headquarters, Scott AFB, Il. Colonel Morgan assumed command from Col. Jon Klaus who is going to serve as the Defense Attache to Sweden in his next assignment. Col-onel Morgan is excited to be a part of the 6th Air Mobility Wing at this exciting “Total Force” time for the 6 OG.

1) What do you expect of the Airmen un-der your command?

I expect the Airmen of the 6 OG to perform the mission with integrity and professionalism, while at the same time taking care of each oth-er both on and off the job. In short, we need to do what is right, not what is convenient at the time.

2) Who are your favorite leaders and role models?

I have worked with some great leaders and role models but if I had to name just a few, I would say Gen. (ret) Ronald Fogleman, Maj Gen Keye Sabol, and Brig. Gen. Mike Stough. I have worked closely with all three of these leaders and they always had the perfect bal-ance of Mission and People. They set the stan-dard for integrity, even-handed leadership and ethics.

3) What does it mean to you to be the new 6 OG commander?

I am humbled, excited and proud to be the new 6 OG/CC. This job is the attainment of a goal that I have had for several years and is one that relatively few Airmen get a chance to obtain. It is an honor for me to take this posi-tion and I will do everything I can to serve the members of the Group well.

Courtesy 6th Medical GroupThe renovations and addition

to the PharmaCARE complex was completed in March 2009, adding an additional 7,200 square feet to the existing structure. This addi-tion has allowed the consolidation of the BX Refill Pharmacy with the PharmaCARE Center. Prescrip-tion pickup at the BX pharmacy was discontinued on June 15 and has been transferred to the Phar-maCARE Center Drive-Through.

Prescription pickup is now via 3 drive-up lanes at the Pharma-CARE Center. Active Duty mili-tary in uniform have the option of walking into the PharmaCARE center for new and refill pickups so they can return to duty as quickly

as possible. Also, patients that ride the Hart-Line Bus or those with any handicap may also come into the PharmaCARE Center for ser-vice.

The following tips will help re-duce the wait times for patients in the drive through lanes:

u The busiest time for the drive-through is Wednesday and Thurs-

day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Please avoid this time if at all possible!

u Large vehicles and RVs should use the far right lane (lane 3), how-ever all vehicles can use this lane; all three lanes are open daily

u Have ID cards and yellow Third Party Insurance cards ready when you arrive at the window/tube system

u Please pick up prescriptions within 7 business days

u Please stay in your vehicle, DO NOT WALK INTO TRAFFIC OR IN THE DRIVE THROUGH LANES, THIS IS VERY HAZARD-OUS

These improvements are im-portant as the 6 MDG Pharmacy is the second busiest pharmacy in the Air Mobility Command, filling a total of 590K prescriptions annu-ally. The PharmaCARE Refill Cen-ter will refill about 216K of those prescriptions. This new service will alleviate the need for custom-ers to stand in line to pick up pre-scriptions. If you have any ques-tions or concerns please call Lt Col Ghitania Oatis at 827-9310.

Tips for a quick visit at PharmaCARE; getting in and out

by Staff Sgt. Matthew BatesDefense Media Activity-San Antonio

More than 2,500 servicemembers from around the Air Force and the globe gathered at McChord Air Force Base, Wa. July 19 to official-ly kick off the 2009 Air Mobility Rodeo, which runs through today.

The Rodeo, sponsored by Air Mobility Com-mand, is a week-long mobility readiness com-petition that brings teams from AMC bases to-gether to compete in a variety of judged events. The competition focuses on improving world-wide air mobility forces’ professional core abili-ties and features more than 40 aircraft partici-pating in airdrops, aerial refueling and other aerial events.

On hand to kick off the competition were Gen. Arthur Lichte, AMC commander; Maj. Gen. Brooks Bash, AMC director of operations and this year’s Rodeo commander; and Doug Richardson, mayor of the surrounding city of Lakewood.

“The local community recognizes and values your service and we are proud to be the host community for this event,” the mayor said. “The competitions will be remarkable to witness.”

This year’s competitions include an aerial

port loading and offloading of an aircraft with engines running, a security force’s obstacle course, a timed aeromedical evacuation config-uration challenge and a timed aircraft egress to name a few.

In all, there are more than 50 separate com-

petitions, each of which is designed to showcase the abilities of mobility Airmen around the Air Force. But the Rodeo isn’t just about compe-tition. The event is also a way for Airmen to share ideas and learn from each other.

“Rodeo showcases AMC’s best of the best and allows us to train and learn through spirited competition,” General Bash said. “Not only does this competition train mobility forces for the fight, it provides a forum for Airmen and our international partners to share the best of tactics and techniques.”

This year, more than 100 teams are expected to compete, including ones from the Air Force Reserve, the Air National Guard and the allied nations of Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, Malaysia, Israel, the Republic of Korea and Turkey.

“The involvement of our partner nations elevates the Rodeo to a world-class competition,” General Lichte said. “It’s really a total force effort on display.”

And while the teams are here to compete against each other, in the general’s eyes, each one is already a winner.

“There may be 16 trophies up for grabs, but we all will win by mak-ing things better together,” he said. “And that’s what the Rodeo is all about.”

Look in next week’s Thunderbolt for information about how the Mac-Dill team ended up in the competition.

4) When you hold your first commander’s call what is the first thing you are going to tell your Airmen?

I will thank them for what they have done and will do every day to defend our country and others. I will also ask them to pass my thanks to their families for the sacrifices that they make so the members of the 6 OG can complete their mission in such an outstanding manner.

5) What are your thoughts about MacDill and living in Tampa?

Other than the large number of “friendly” mosquitoes that met us at the TLFs on July 4th, we have really liked what we have seen. MacDill AFB, with all its mission partners, has a unique and exciting mission which I look forward to being part of. This is our first time living in Florida and we are going to take full advantage of it. All of the people we have met have been very friendly and welcoming and I look forward to getting involved with the local

community.6) Is there anything else you would like to add?

I am also looking forward to getting to know and working with the members of the MXG, MSG and MDG. I know that the successful completion of our mission is a team effort and every person in the above organizations has an impact on the members of the 6 OG. Without the MXG, MSG and MDG, the 6 OG would have mission failure.

It is a very exciting time to join the 6th, es-pecially in the area of Total Force Integration (TFI). The 6 AMW has already associated with the 927th ARW (AFRC) here at MacDill, the 916th ARW (AFRC) at Seymour-Johnson and in Oct will stand up an association with the 117th (ANG) at Birmingham. There is much to be gained and learned for all involved and I am looking forward to working with our Total Force partners.

It’s summertime, and as they say, the living’s easy. But you are not truly living in Tampa Bay unless you are enjoying the vast water sports opportunities, something easy for base personnel thanks to the MacDill Marina.

The marina is the gateway to Tampa Bay waters, giving everyone the opportunity to become a boater through one of its rental boats, available six days a week (the marina is closed Tuesdays). From small skiffs to family sized pontoon

NEWS/FEATURESMarina rentals ensure anyone can be a boater

The MacDill Marina rental fleet awaits those looking for some fun in the sun on the waters of Tampa Bay. From small fishing boats and kayaks, to family sized pontoon boats, the marina has a craft to fit.

See BOAT RENTALS, Page 12

boats, the marina has a craft to suit. Rental fees are low, the boats are fully equipped with all U.S. Coast Guard required safety gear and equipment and ready to motor.

For those with fishing in mind, the marina offers 16-foot center console skiffs that are perfect for a pair of anglers, and a third with-out taking away too much elbow room. A more comfortable ride for three or four is the 19-foot center console boat.

If fishing isn’t the objective and just getting out cruising and enjoying the sun and water, perhaps even a trip to one of the bay islands for a picnic, one of the pontoon deck boats fits the bill. They are not speedy or sporty, but they offer the ideal platform for a family or group outing.

For those who want to explore and enjoy na-

ture, something minus an outboard is a must. The marina can accommodate with canoes and kayaks. Kayaks and canoes are narrow, “tippy” craft and it is best to have a little experience with them, but marina personnel are on hand for pointers that help newcomers get the hang of paddling while staying upright.

Rental rates vary between weekdays and weekends, and can be confirmed by calling the marina at 828-4983. The smallest power boat is just $6 per hour for weekend walk-ins, or $40 a day during the week and $50 a day for the weekend. In all cases, gasoline and oil are not included.

A canoe or kayak can be rented for the day for just $12 during the week, and $18 a day on the weekend. A special note about the paddle craft is that the boats must be taken off base

during the week, as they are not permitted in the base security zone during those times.

A special exception exists for canoe and kay-ak rentals that allow paddlers to boat within the restricted zone of Tampa Bay around the base from the marina north along Bayshore Boulevard all the way to the Bayshore gate.

All power boat renters must have proof of passing a boating safety course, which can be taken online. Details are available from the marina.

For anglers, the marina also is a fully equipped bait and tackle shop. It also has live bait.

Call ahead to reserve a boat, particularly on weekends, advises Janet Stashco, a recreation aide at the marina.

“It’s busy in the summer, especiall week-ends,” she said.

For more than 26 years Mario Pujol’s spe-cialty has been taking care of servicemem-bers here on MacDill Air Force Base. He cuts hair at the base barber shop and maintains his regular customers with his sharp, precise styles.

His customers range from Airmen to gener-als and civilians to family members, but little do they know that at 87 years old Mr. Pujol, a World War II veteran, was a resident of Tampa long before the flightline that the 6th Air Mo-bility Wing’s KC-135’s and C-37’s call home, was around.

“I saw the flightline being built,” he said. “One of my jobs at the time was to keep rab-bits from getting on the flightline.”

At that time rabbits, and other critters, were persistent at finding their way to the construction sites and hindered the progress of the flightline.

“The base was a different place then,” Mr. Pujol said. “There were tents for buildings and the breeze was our natural air conditioner, we used to go fishing and swimming in the Bay.”

He began cutting hair at 19 years old in a family barbershop here in Tampa and con-tinued for a few years until he enlisted in the Army Air Corps.

“My job was to serve as a 705, Medic,” Mr. Pujol said. “We would help the patients on and off the aircraft and lay them in the tents or on stretchers.”

He served in the military for more than three years before returning to familiar grounds as a barber on MacDill.

The members in his shop adore him and find his stories very interesting. They love learn-

ing about what the base was like before it was built up.

“I met Mario in 2002 when I was coming to replace him as the manager of the shop and he was planning to retire,” said Lee Bonanno, the base barbershop’s manager. “We quickly ce-mented a friendship and I realized he was cen-tral to the work environment and convinced him to stay.”

She believes that the shop has benefited greatly from Mr. Pujol and has learned a lot

from his professionalism.“He’s an artist, he makes haircuts look sim-

ple, he visualizes the cut and then creates the style,” said Mrs. Bonanno.

The love of what he does keeps him in his job while keeping his customers happy.

“I love cutting hair and helping my custom-ers look sharp,” added Mr. Pujol. “I’ve been a barber for more than 20 years and will con-tinue doing this job until I don’t feel like it anymore.”

Dancin’ machines Total dance experience summer camp; keeping youth activeby Senior Airman Tania Reid6th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

Children at the MacDill Youth Center learned new dance skills, and enhanced their fitness at a Total Dance Experience Camp

July 14.The participants at the camp were

taught line dancing, swing, ball-room and hip hop styles

during the camp. There were

brief dis-cus-

sions on dance and dance related careers.“This is the first year that MacDill has

had this summer camp, it’s an Air Force wide program that encourages the children to get up and move” said Charles Lechner, Youth Center director. “It gives the children at the Youth center more options to get involved in physical activities.”

Both the classes were divided into one sec-tion for children ages 9 to 12 and another for ages 13 to 18 The camp were free to Youth Center members only.

“The children really seemed to enjoy them-selves at the sessions,” said Mr. Lechner. “It gave them an opportunity to experience dif-

ferent dance styles and get background information on the development

of the art.”While the camp

was a way to give the children at the Youth

Center more activities to enjoy their summer

it gave them a chance to get involved with the

community. “I think the summer

camp helped the children enrolled not only to improve

physically but socially,” he said. “They made friendships

with the other children in the camp and were able to help

each other stay motivated.”

“Kapri,” a Los Angeles, California native chore-ographer, instructs youth from the MacDill AFB Youth Center Dance Team at the youth center July 14. Members of the team are military de-pendants and meet regularly to enhance their dancing skills.
