By Jennifer Thibault50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Each year, days are set aside to honor mothers and fathers, grandmas and grand-pas, and each year April 22 is set aside to recognize Mother Earth.

As with years past, Schriever has much

to celebrate on Earth Day as it is once again recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA Community for its com-mitment to urban forestry. This is the 13th year Schriever has earned this title.

In recognition of both Earth Day and Arbor Day, wing leadership continued its

commitment to “doing today for tomorrow” by planting a tree at the Child Development Center.

“This is a celebration of what is going to be,” said Andy Schlosberg, assistant district

April 1 marked the beginning of national Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Schriever’s sexual assault response coordinator is making sure to stay true to this year’s national motto, “it’s time... to get involved.”

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, this year’s campaign incorporates a bystander approach to sexual violence preven-tion. Research shows that engaging bystanders is a promising way to help prevent the widespread problem of sexual violence in communities.

The Air Force displayed their faith in the bystander approach by includ-ing Bystander Intervention Training in the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program requiring all AF personnel to complete the training by June 2012.

Paula Fraas, Schriever’s sexual as-sault response coordinator, tackled the goal head-on, putting Schriever on track to reach the training require-

ment 365 days in advance.“Currently 91 percent of Schriever

has completed their BIT,” Ms. Fraas said. “AF has mandated all personnel receive BIT by June 30, 2012, but Air Force Space Command has set the goal for all bases to be at 50 percent by June 30, 2011. The 50th Space Wing has declared Schriever will be at 100 percent by the end of June 2011, a year ahead of the AF’s mandate!”

Not only has the SAPR office ag-gressively attacked training require-ments, but they’ve also put together a busy schedule of events for April to keep Airmen engaged in SAAM.

“For the month of April we have been setting up informational booths at the fitness center and dining facility weekly,” Ms. Fraas said. “We have brochures and pam-phlets about the subject as well as fun give-aways. Every give-away has the SARC hotline number on it so the base population has the number convenient in case they ever need to

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The 2011 national SAAM ob-servance focuses on a bystander approach to sexual violence prevention. A bystander, or witness, is anyone who sees a situation but may or may not know what to do, may think others will act or may be afraid to do something. Bystanders who take action when necessary can prevent sexual assault.

Commentary by Chief Master Sgt. Timothy Winfree

50th Mission Support Group superintendent

As this will be my last article as an active duty member I thought I would share a few bits of advice on what I believe is needed for one to be successful in this great way of life we all have chosen. Although there are as many opinions as there are people on what it takes to be a success, I would submit the following four key ingredients, as critical to being a successful Airman: pride, humility, perspective, and determination. I have used these four throughout my career, both in good times and bad. They have served me well and helped me remain focused.

First, let’s talk about pride. I can remember vividly how I felt the first time I put on an Air Force uniform. I had just arrived at basic train-ing, it was shortly after having all the hair (I actually had hair back then) cut off my head and receiving my clothing issue. Although I was nervous and still wondering what I’d gotten myself into, I couldn’t hold back the urge to look at myself in the mirror and smile. Man! I was a good looking Airman! Seriously though, I felt immensely proud. Proud to be a member of the Air Force, proud to be an American and proud to wear a uniform that symbolizes what people around the world have come to respect as the greatest Air Force in the history of mankind. Throughout my career I

have continued to be proud of this uniform, and even more so I have always been proud of whatever duties I was assigned to complete. As a Security Forces member, whether I was standing guard at an installation entry con-trol point, filling sandbags, picking up trash, completing my career development course or

running a radar, you can bet I was proud to be doing it. Taking pride in my work, my appear-ance, my attitude and how I conducted myself as an Airman certainly had a positive impact on my career and contributed greatly to my accomplishments as a military professional. The best advice I can give you about this is to be proud of whatever you are doing and usu-ally whatever you are doing will be excellent or at least completed with excellent results. Now let’s switch gears to another ingredient that has served me well, humility.

I learned at a very early age that no one likes the person who makes it known that they are better at everything than everybody else. We all have encountered this guy or gal. If you are one of these people, and you know if you are, take a hard look around to see who’s really listening next time you are ranting along about yourself and how great you are. In my experi-ences I have found success is much sweeter when you “walk softly and carry a big stick.” You don’t have to tell people you are great and excellent in all you do; your results will speak volumes for you and people will respect the fact that you don’t brag about what you’ve done all the time. There’s a big difference between pride and arrogance and trust me, the line between the two is thin. My advice is to use your successes to demonstrate proficiency, to

Commentary by Airman 1st Class Chelsey Neumeier

50th Force Support Squadron

Stanley Milgram, the social psychologist who developed the six-degrees-of-separation concept, once said, “The soldier does not wish to appear a coward, disloyal, or un-American. The situa-tion has been so defined that he can see himself as patriotic, courageous and manly...” in talking about ordinary people simply doing their jobs. I don’t think the question should be why I where my uniform, I think the more relevant question is, “why wouldn’t I wear the uniform?”

When I wake up in the morning and put the uniform on, I am not wearing it for glory. In my eyes, nothing about war is glorious; nothing about serving our country and sacrificing life is glorious. I wear the uniform to protect my country, to make sure that the “land of the free” stays just that. I do not want parades or people celebrating because of a choice I made. The choice to wear the uniform is about a desire to serve our country. I do not put the uniform on for recognition or fame, as grateful as I am for people who thank me for my service. I have a deeper desire to be a part of something considerably larger than just me. Finally, I do not put my uniform on for money. I may have a steady pay check, money for housing and food; however I probably get paid less than I should considering I have taken an oath to protect and defend this country with my life. The military taught me to survive and I will do just that in any circumstance.

I don’t ask for money. I need it to survive.At the end of the work day, I take my uniform

off, hang it in my closet and prepare myself to put it back on in the morning, not because of glory, recognition or money, but because I care about the United States. I love this country and I will do anything to protect it.

Why I wear the uniform

Congrats to Schriever’s major selectsCongratulations to the following captains who have been selected for promotion to major.


By Scott PraterSchriever Sentinel

Most everyone who works at Schriever understands that the 50th Space Wing conducts a big part of its mission under a classified umbrella. Information vital to U.S. national security is relayed and transferred between people on a daily basis.

Since many of Team Schriever personnel work in office areas and use a computer, the odds of someone inadvertently sharing classified information are magnified.

“That’s why everyone should have guide-lines posted on their computer with steps to take should they ever be involved in a classified message incident,” said 2nd Lt. James Vanderwende, 50th Space Wing Information Assurance officer. “When you’re trying to protect information you have to be right every single time, because attackers, or those seeking information, only have to be right once.”

For example, take someone who has ac-cess to Global Positioning System infor-mation who sends an email to a coworker listing the time and date of a service inter-

ruption. That circumstance is considered a CMI and must be reported by the receiver as such.

“It’s important to get the ball rolling as soon as possible,” Lieutenant Vanderwende said. “The first thing people need to do is stop using their computer and unplug their local-area-network cable. Then you need to find someone to physically watch your computer, someone who has the security clearance level of the message that was sent, because now that computer is at the security level of the sent message.”

The CMI receiver then must personally notify the unit’s information assurance of-ficer. From there, the CMI is handled by Communication Focal Point personnel.

“We have a list we follow that helps us identify the message, its sender, the time, date, subject line and other information, and then we get the unit security manager involved,” said Staff Sgt. Nathan Johns, 50th Communications Squadron, CFP supervi-sor. From there we notify the Integrated Network Operations Center, which clears or sanitizes the offending message.”

Lieutenant Vanderwende compares the effort to the way IAO and CFP personnel also track down and clear phishing attempts from the network.

What’s similar about CMIs and phishing is we depend on users to report the prob-lem,” he said. “There’s no automated mes-sage telling us there was a CMI.”

Personnel who commit a CMI face some harsh attention.

Personnel brief the 50 SW Commander, Col. Wayne Monteith, twice per week on missions and the status of the network. One of the topics they cover is CMIs. Colonel Monteith and Col. Michael Finn, 50th Network Operations Group commander, are informed about the time and date of the incident and they learn the identity of the offending person.

“Let’s just say I’ve never heard of any-one causing a second CMI,” said Lieutenant Vanderwende. “If you cause a CMI you’re kicked off the network until it’s cleaned up. And if you have a blackberry, you lose it un-til it’s cleansed. People need to understand that when you cause a CMI you are letting

information out, and we have faltered at protecting that information.”

Prevention of CMIs lies in being con-scious and cognizant of what is sent out in an e-mail. Lieutenant Vanderwende also pointed out that CMIs aren’t just limited to unclassified computers.

“A CMI occurs anytime information is shared above the classification of the com-puter,” he said. “If someone sends top-secret information to a Secret Internet Protocol Router Network computer, that’s a CMI.”

Ultimately, Team Schriever members must remember that CMI’s are often tricky instances.

“Most people aren’t maliciously send-ing out classified information,” Lieutenant Vanderwende said. “They’re not trying to get themselves kicked off the network and wish to have their names printed on a slide the wing commander is going to see. They just need to keep in mind that if they’re questioning if something is secret, then it probably is. This base is not that big. Maybe you should walk it over to whomever you’re sending it to.”

call. We also co-hosted the dodgeball tournament and are co-hosting a 4-mile fun run today to promote SAAM.”

Though getting free prizes and playing games is fun, the purpose behind these SAPR office events is to provoke a

sense of community and get Schriever members thinking about this sensitive issue.

“Events like dodgeball and the fun run are great op-portunities for individuals to get involved, show support for an important subject and have some fun doing it,” Ms. Fraas said. “We tend to get too involved in our day-to-day lives and these types of events offer people a chance to look beyond their own four walls and become more aware of issues that affect our community.”

This month’s national SAAM campaign explains that

getting involved helps to create environments where people are safe in their relationships, families, neighborhoods, schools, work places and communities, but the SARC hopes that this involvement will stretch beyond the month of April.

“My hope is that even after April the base community will continue to remember preventing sexual assault is everyone’s duty and I challenge all our Air Force members to take a stand and intervene in any situation that could lead to an assault,” said Ms. Fraas.

Class fosters positive environment for familyBy 2nd Lt. Marie Denson

50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Unfortunately there is no guide book when raising a child. Sometimes parents know ex-actly what to do and other times they wing it and hope for the best. The Active Parenting class offered here helps give parents the tools to raise responsible, cooperative children.

Christina Ruetz, Schriever Airman and Family Readiness Center community readi-ness consultant, teaches a free, two-hour class that focuses on different styles of parenting, how to build character, communicate and discipline children effectively.

Ms. Ruetz has an education background in counseling and psychology and has worked in the social services field with families and children for the past 16 years.

The Active Parenting class is based off the book “Active Parenting Now in 3: Your three-part guide to a great family,” by Michael Popkin, Ph.D., which is used and taught throughout the United States. Each parent is given a complimentary copy of the book to take home with them for reference.

The class is meant to facilitate all types of learning styles by incorporating videos, text exercises and discussion.

The class helps parents of children ages five through 12 learn strategies to effectively com-municate with their children, develop problem solving techniques, learn different parenting styles and ways they can engage with their child(ren) to help enhance the relationship and help the child feel secure and confident.

One of the key concepts from the class suggests there needs to be mutual respect where the child feels respected by those who are leading and allowing the child to partici-pate in the decisions that affect their lives. Without these two concepts children may feel the need to rebel more often.

“Parents can take away concrete skills that they can use to communicate more effec-tively with their child,” said Ms. Ruetz. “For example, one of the skills that parents learn about is the power of giving a child choices versus demanding that they do what you tell them to do. Giving a child choices not only empowers them, but also can help resolve some disciplinary problems.”

Parenting classes are offered quarterly. The next session is a two-day class scheduled for May 11 and 18.

forester, Colorado State Forrest Service.Col. Wayne Monteith, 50th Space Wing com-

mander, echoed Mr. Schlosberg’s sentiments.“We’re trying to be good neighbors and good

stewards of our environment,” he said.Following the ceremony, Colonel Monteith

joined the base’s environmental flight in giving out 65 reusable bags of goodies including a Douglas fir seedling to continue the Arbor Day/Earth Day tradition at home.

In addition to this effort, Schriever can celebrate its many green initiatives that are coming to frui-tion this year to include reducing the base’s irri-gated property from 60 to 6 acres.

Another green project pressing full steam ahead is the overhaul of the central utility plant which provides emergency power in case there was a loss of commercial power. This project will reduce energy costs as the new generators are more fuel efficient than their 80’s era predecessors while pro-viding 35 percent more power. In addition, project managers expect to recycle 100 tons of scrap metal from the dismantled generators.

This focus on reducing, reusing and recycling is not lost on the main dining option for the base.

The Satellite Dish estimates its patrons use ap-proximately 637,000 plastic foam containers each month. On Earth Day, The Dish put all of the dis-

posable containers, cups and utensils away. Instead, patrons were urged to use reusable containers for items that needed to be carried out of the facility. This is in addition to the previously approved use of personal drink containers, as long as they are clean and they do not touch the dispensing machine.

To help continue the effort beyond just Earth Day, the CE Environmental Flight teamed with the Satellite Dish and gave away 400 reusable con-tainers, 600 cups and sporks. Schriever Outdoor Recreation also has added a reusable container for purchase.

“We put up a display to help everyone visualize how much [plastic foam] we are using each month,” said Karen Draper, chief, Sustainment Flight. “[Plastic foam] is toxic to the environment and expensive. In this time of tightening the budget, the Dish spends approximately $140K each year on [plastic foam]. We have teamed with CE to hope-fully encourage people to think before they reach for the easy [plastic foam] cup or container.”

Schriever’s green efforts are also ongoing at the wing’s geographically separated units in Hawaii, New Boston and Greenland.

These efforts include cutting $50K a month in electricity usage, using ground-source heat pumps, installing energy efficient roofs and low energy lighting.

“At New Boston we have reduced our heating oil costs by 23 percent,” said Colonel Monteith. “We are also conducting a study for a 22.5 megawatt solar/wind farm for the base. These ongoing efforts will help us conserve today to secure tomorrow.”

A baby can bring up questions and ner-vousness for new parents. The Airman and Family Readiness Center is here to help. They offer the Bundles for Babies class to help al-leviate some of the uneasiness of becoming a parent and as a bonus, participants receive gifts.

Bundles for Babies is sponsored by the Air Force Aid Society and offers new and expect-ant parents valuable information concerning financial planning, resources available on base and in the community and an open discussion about becoming a new parent and the anxieties that may come from raising a baby.

April’s class participants, Airmen Nico and Ashley Santos, Security Forces members, who are expecting a baby girl in August, heard about the class through their senior leader-ship and found it informational.

“There were parents there who already had children that gave good advice about what to expect and how they dealt with specific situ-ations,” said Airman 1st Class Nico Santos. “Individuals asked questions my wife and I didn’t think of before but were useful, as well as learning about the resources available after the baby is born.”

Nancy Seckman, A&FRC interim chief, says the program has been available through Schriever since July 2002. She figures the open discussion in the class not only helps ex-

pecting parents, but it also helps the A&FRC better understand what programs Schriever families need.

“Participants can expect to gain a height-ened awareness of the costs involved in pre-paring for having and raising a child,” said Ms. Seckman. “They will also learn how to handle some of the more common con-cerns such as taking care of yourself, dealing with common stressors that go along with having a new baby such as sleep depriva-tion and how the couple can maintain their couplehood.”

Classes are held quarterly, with the next one scheduled for July 13. The class is open to all military, DoD civilians, spouses and is not limited to first time parents.

Each participant receives a “baby bundle” from the Air Force Air Society at the conclu-sion of the class. The bundle contains bed-ding, a bath set, onesies, bibs, burp cloths, a blanket, baby clothes and a special donation from Kristin Hunt, 50th Space Wing com-mander’s administrative assistant.

“I would recommend this class to any-one expecting a baby,” said Airman 1st Class Ashley Santos. “I think it will put your mind at ease knowing that there are plenty of peo-ple out there to help you. It’s just one more thing you can do for yourself to prepare for your baby.”

For more information or to register for the class, call the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 567-3920.

Ingredientsencourage others to better themselves and to teach others how to succeed. I have always been grateful for the opportunity to serve and have used humility to keep me grounded to the fact that nothing I have done in my life has been without the assistance of others in some form or fashion. So, while being humble will help keep you from being stoned to death by co-workers, putting things into perspective can help you along the road to success as well.

During the first three weeks of my AF

career I learned a very good lesson about perspective. At the time I was stationed at Hellenikon Air Base in Athens, Greece. Many people don’t know it, but back in 1989, Athens was the terrorist capital of the world. Military members and their families were prime targets for many ideological factions. I was working a midnight shift when a call came across my radio from the desk sergeant notifying everyone of an off-base attack. We immediately formed a detail and responded to an area right outside the main gate where many military families, myself included, re-sided. Upon arrival we found three vehicles completely engulfed in flames, all had been firebombed. I noticed immediately that one of the vehicles was mine. Needless to say I

was upset by this and my attitude showed it, but I still completed my duties. We cordoned off the area, ensured there were no injuries to personnel and eventually turned the scene over to civilian authorities for investigation. My “ahh moment” on perspective came shortly thereafter while I was expressing my disgust, anger and frustration with the situ-ation to my friends. My supervisor, Sergeant Mario Martinez, calmly approached me and stated simply, “Well, at least you weren’t in it Winfree.” So I shut up! Moral of the story is no matter how bad you think things are, there is always some good in it, you just have to look for it. This leads me to my last ingre-dient for success, determination.

Having a positive attitude and outlook on

life requires determination more so during difficult times, challenges and unpleasant tasks. Whether preparing for a physical fit-ness test, promotion test or dealing with a difficult deployment, being determined can make all the difference in being successful. Taking a determined approach to be posi-tive and excellent at what you are doing is necessary and in most cases, can be the only thing standing in your way toward mission accomplishment.

So here’s my parting shot...take pride in yourself, your work and the mission; be humble in your successes, how you conduct yourselves and how you receive praise; always keep things in perspective and be determined in whatever task you set out to accomplish.

PHOENIX (AFNS) — More than 80 Air Force Reserve members and their families, from 15 bases nationwide, attended the western regional Yellow Ribbon Program event here April 15-17.

The event focused on tackling communication strategies and myriad deployment issues, including preparing for the day-to-day challenges experienced throughout the cycle of the deployment process.

The reservists in attendance were either preparing to deploy or returning from a de-ployment. However, these challenges not only face the returning and pre-deployers, but their family and friends who are the foundation of support during the whole process, said event leaders.

“In today’s economy, to be able to give back to these people for the sacrifices they’ve made is huge,” said Lazette Bretthorst, the resource advisor for the Yellow Ribbon Program. “Allowing them to spend time as a family, even if it is just for 72 hours, brings down their stress levels and gives them special moments, especially for pre-deployers.”

Maj. Gen. Kelly McKeague, the assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for National Guard Matters, kicked off the event speaking about the many hurdles facing guardsmen and reservists. He also spoke about the value of the breadth of experience and skills these men and women bring to the military, which, he pointed out, has become one of the most respected professions in the U.S.

General McKeague also fielded questions from the audience about many of the problems facing deploying reservists and guardsmen.

“In order for us to do our job, we need to know what is happening where the rubber meets the road,” General McKeague said. “The only way to do that is to come out into the field and to interact with citizen warriors and their families and to hear firsthand the challenges they’re facing. We need to hear what’s working and what’s not, to help us go back and shape our engagements with (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) Adm. (Michael) Mullen, the Secretary of Defense (Robert Gates), and the Reserve component chiefs.”

The Yellow Ribbon Program is part of that shaping process to ease the difficulty for reservists as they transition to and from civilian life, he added.

The two days of break-out sessions included topics such as stress management, couples enrichment, parenting and communications. The attendees also received briefings from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Military One Source, military finance and TRICARE.

Master Sgt. Randy Pantle, who attended the event with his wife Michaela, said return-ing back to normal life was fairly easy after his deployment, but he and his wife still were able to garner a lot of valuable information from the Phoenix event.

“It helped us discover what tools are available to us,” Sergeant Pantle said. “What is available to us is unbelievable, but we also have been able to meet other people who’ve been through the things we have been through.”

According to Ms. Bretthorst, since the Yellow Ribbon Program has taken on a more regional concept in this fiscal year, it has allowed the program to focus more on the pro-grams, including the youth programs.

“We have grown our youth program,” she said. “Our youth programs have become very standardized. It isn’t just child care. They have an agenda and they have activities that revolve around having their ownership into the deployment process, from the 5-year-old to the 18-year-old.”

The next western regional Yellow Ribbon Program event is scheduled for May 12-14 in Tempe, Ariz.

The children of Reservists at the western regional Yellow Ribbon program at Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak in Phoenix took part in not only projects, but also communicating about their experiences with their parent de-ploying. The children ranged in age from birth to 18-years-old and had programs covering deployment issue most of those age groups.

U.S. Air Force Reservists and their families kicked off the western region Yellow Ribbon event at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak in Phoenix right after arriving by taking a Four Lenses class which allowed the attendees to learn more about their personality types. Much of the information presented over the weekend went back to the attendee’s Four Lenses personality type and created a foundation from it.

Team Schriever members rallied in the main gym April 22 to cheer-on 10 teams battling for the 2011 Sexual Assault Awareness Month dodgeball championship title.

Each game lasted five minutes during the single-elimation tour-nament that culminated with an intense battle between the 50th Security Forces Squadron and the 50th Space Communications Squadron.

When the whistle blew, 10 mem-bers of each team rushed for the dodgeballs at center court, but each team had their own strategy.

“We had Martin Todd and Shaun Caviness snipping from the corners while everyone else skillfully played their game,” said Joshua Larson, 50 SFS dodgeball team member.

In the title game, the 50 SCS team hoarded their balls, ran to the line and attacked as a unit, taking out two players, but putting themselves at a disability by giving 50 SFS the majority of the ammunition on the court.

SFS took this opportunity and quickly responded by rapidly firing dodgeballs back at SCS, knocking out one of their members. Some SCS members honed this quick-fire tech-nique, thinking it would be their key to success.

“We dominated the competition with lots of fast flying balls,” said Jeremy Broadwell, 5O SCS team member. “There weren’t any real surprises out there except for the final match. SFS got a couple of lucky shots.”

SFS proved that strategy, not luck, prevailed. SCS continued their uni-fied front as the SFS team gathered the dodged balls and rocketed them back at SCS, knocking seven SCS teammates out of the game in the first three minutes.

“Todd has a cannon of an arm and took a lot of the SCS players out of the fight,” Larson said. “However, there was no secret to our success... the base saw what we could do!”

Like a pack of lions, SFS stalked SCS like an animal that strayed from the herd and quickly eliminated the last SCS team member before the five-minute mark, clenching the 2011 Schriever SAAM Dodgeball Tournament victory.

“The motivation to win kept us going through the whole tourna-ment,” Larson said. “We out ducked, dipped, dove and dodged the other teams. The one thing we had that the other teams didn’t, as Charlie Sheen would say, was ‘winning!’”

Ultimately, SFS’ ‘winning’ men-tality, coupled with brute strength, prevailed over the SCS team’s orga-nized tactics.

First Lt. John Frye, 3rd Space Operations Squadron, will don an Air Force blue and white jersey for the last time this coming July.

The Wideband Global Satcom officer in charge of orbital analysis earned a roster spot on the All-Armed Forces team for the third straight year this past month thanks to his performance at the All-Armed Forces tournament, where he led the Air Force squad to a gold medal.

The 27-year old, 6-foot-10 center, who helped garner national attention for the U.S. Air Force Academy basketball program during his playing days there, has proudly worn an Air Force uniform since 2004, when he first took the court for the USAFA as a freshman.

His class, which included well-known and accomplished players such as Jacob Burtshi and Matt McCraw, ended its playing days as the most successful in Academy history.

Possessing the size, skills and talent needed to compete at the highest collegiate level, he held onto the dream of one day playing professional basketball. Following his com-mitment to the AF, nothing would stand in his way of trying out for a professional team in Europe or elsewhere. But, during the past four years he said something changed. He’s convinced himself now that the best career move involves military service.

Later this summer, he’ll suit up and play power forward for the U.S. team at the World Military Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Then that’ll be it.“I don’t look at it as bittersweet,” Lieutenant

Frye said. “I look at it as a culmination. To be selected as one of the top athletes to play in this Brazil tournament is a real honor. I’m proud of that fact.”

He’ll pin on captain’s bars, make his first permanent change of station, and settle in to an AF career.

That new station will undoubtedly be a strange one for Lieutenant Frye, who has

called Colorado Springs home for the past eight years.

Upon graduation from the Academy, he went to Vandenberg AFB, Calif. for train-ing, and reached his first duty station on the plains east of town during the summer of 2008. As they watched him duck through doorways that first day, his 3 SOPS leader-ship figured their chances of winning a base intramural basketball title had just jumped considerably.

He didn’t disappoint there either as he led 3 SOPS to the base championship in 2009.

Basketball at the All-Air Force level is a completely different game, however. Not to say Schriever is void of superior athletes, but when Lieutenant Frye suits up against the All-

Marine Corps, Navy and Army teams each year, he competes against former Division I and II college players like himself.

“The best thing about playing for the AF level team is I get to scratch that basketball itch,” he said. “This way, I can advance my career as an AF officer and still compete at an elite level on the court.”

Players at the World Military Games rival those of professional athletes. Many teams bring their best collegiate or professional players.

Maj. Tyron Wright, All-Air Force coach, figures Lieutenant Frye was critical to the team’s dominating performance at the All-Armed Forces tournament.

“He has a unique skill set for most big

men,” he said. “A lot of big men will play with their back to the basket. They want to back you down and shoot jump hooks over top of you, but John is left handed, he can shoot the three and he can score away from the basket. He’s also our best defender.”

Reputation and where you played college ball account for zero percent of coaching decisions at this level. Lieutenant Frye had to win a roster spot on the All-Air Force team, which chooses the best 12 players from those invited to the selection camp.

The All-Armed Forces team is selected by coaches from each military branch, and is based on play during the All-Armed Forces tournament.

“Lieutenant Frye was a unanimous choice to play on this team,” Major Wright said. “He was easily one of the top three defensive players in the tournament and we would not have won the gold medal without him.”

Lieutenant Frye will travel to San Antonio this June for training camp and then on to Brazil in July for the World Military Games, an event that brings teams from more than 60 countries together to compete in 13 sports.

Winning there won’t be easy.“The U.S. team hasn’t won a gold medal at

this tournament, when it’s played outside the United States, since 1984,” Lieutenant Frye said. “Korea won it last year in Korea and Greece won it the year before in Lithuania. So we’ll have our work cut out for us.”

He usually plays center for the Air Force team, but he’ll probably play power forward with the All-Armed Forces team. Once in Brazil, the team will compete against some of the world’s best military squads over the two-week span of games.

“Whatever the result, I’ll be able to end on a happy note,” he said. “That I made it to the highest level you can get in military basketball is quite an achievement. I consider myself lucky. I get to come here every day, have an effect on worldwide operations and still get to do the thing I love, which is play basketball. I’m lucky to have leadership who feel the same way.”

History Quiz

Week ofApril 28, 2011

Answer to previous question: New Boston Air Force Station was established as a bomb-ing and gunnery range in 1942 to support air-crew training at Grenier Field. The Air Force gained the base in 1959 to support what pro-gram? The Air Force gained New Boston AFS in 1959 during the initial development of what now constitutes the Air Force Satellite Control Network. The first tracking stations were con-structed to support the CORONA reconnais-sance program.

This week’s question: What are the rules for a “coin check?”

Fitness

TipIntermittent Stair Climbing Improves

Fitness: In a recent study, British research-ers confirmed that some exercise is better than nothing. Researchers found that for sedentary people, even a few minutes of daily stair climbing - a vigorous but easily accessible form of exercise - can improve cardiovascular health. Previous studies have shown that accumulating short bouts of exercise can make a difference; this one shows just how short those bouts can be. Twenty-two sedentary college-aged women walked up 199 steps - more than you’re likely to find at home, but doable in a high-rise - in 2.25 minutes, a “brisk but comfortable” pace which shot their heart rates up to 90 percent of their predicted maximum. They progressed from one ascent per day during the first week to six ascents per day, for a total of 13.5 minutes over the course of a day, during the sixth and seventh weeks. By the end of this modest exercise program, the women were measurably more fit: Heart rate, oxygen uptake and blood lactate levels during climbing were reduced, and their HDL, “good,” cholesterol levels had increased.

The move to and setting up of a new home; new neighbors and schools; a new job — all these things demand time and attention.

Seeking video producersAs a segment of Maj. Gen. Michael Basla’s war on sexual

assault and other deviant behavior, AFSPC is looking to get six 30-second videos made by Airmen. Video topics can be on sexual assault prevention, drug and alcohol abuse (drunk driving) or suicide prevention. Airmen are asked to come up with ideas on how to reach other Airmen about these important issues. The videos can be funny, serious, goofy or any combination, whatever you feel gets your message across in the most effective manner. The video can feature just you or a group of your friends. You can use your own camcorder or other means to make the video. We’re envision-ing something like you’d see on YouTube. Individuals can either be in uniform or wearing some type of clothing with Air Force logo visible. Public Affairs has some video cameras they are willing to allow individuals to use. The Safety Office also has video equipment (camera, tripod, etc.) specifically to be used to create “public service announcements” and podcasts. If you are interested in making a difference and making a video, contact us for more information. For more information, please contact Paula Fraass at 567-7446.
