College FairCoast Guard Air Station Cape Cod will host a “College Fair” on Wednesday, September 21 at the Camp Edwards Simulation Center, Bldg. 1206 on West Inner Road. More than two dozen colleges have been invited to participate. The fair will be open to anyone with base access and will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Food and drinks will also be available. For more information, contact the Educational Services Office at Air Station Cape Cod at 508-968-6440.

Members across the 102nd Intelligence Wing went to building 158 in support of weapons cleaning during the May UTA. These weapons are a part of extended storage and are not taken out to shoot on a regular basis. Because of this, each weapon has to be taken out once a year to be cleaned and inspected for functionality. This kind of activity is new as of two years ago when all weapons owned by each squadron on base were turned over to the Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS). The weapons are still used by the individual squadrons when deploying, but are stored and maintained now in one vault. Heading up this task is Master Sgt. Michael Burman. Also supporting the cleaning and maintenance is the 102nd Security Forces Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM). “The support we are getting from the CATM people is huge,” said Burman. “They brought over a lot of the cleaning supplies and are helping Airmen to clean and check the weapons.”

USCG MWR is hosting two college interns this summer. Nicole Russell and Caitlin Costa are both graduates from Illinois State University, majoring in Exercise Science. Nicole is excited about using her background in college athletics and exercise degree to create new fitness programs for all base personnel to participate in. Caitlin is collegiate swimmer, looking forward to aquatic exercise classes and special events.

Keeley Clancy won overall and placed first for women with a time of 24.13 in the 4th annual You Go Girl 5K held on Mother’s Day. Christopher Hasegawa (6SWS) came in second (first place male) in 26.02.

Cleaning and inspecting the weapons is an annual requirement. This can be a daunting task for just the LRS alone. Because the weapons are for all the 102nd IW, the LRS is able to get support from all the Group commanders to send Airmen in support of the task. Commanders sent Airmen of all ranks, both enlisted and officers.

aCtivities aroUnd the Coast gUard air station

Spring is here and our thoughts are turning to the upcoming summer and all that it will hold. We’ll be saying goodbye to some of our friends and shipmates as they prepare to execute their permanent change of station (PCS) orders and welcoming new families to our units. Summer also gives us a chance to get out and enjoy the nicer weather by going to the beach, going fishing, getting out on a boat or having barbeques in our backyards. For those of us who live on Cape Cod, it also means we will be seeing a significant increase in traffic and that “quick trip across the bridge” may not be so quick for a few months. This summer, there are a tremendous number of activities going on at the Coast Guard Air Station. We have begun construction on a new hangar and the contractors are progressing along at a rapid pace. The new hangar will house the Coast Guard’s HC-144 “Ocean Sentry” Medium Range Surveillance aircraft. The HC-144 will be replacing the HU-25 Falcon Jet. The HC-144A is capable of remaining airborne in excess of nine hours versus four hours maximum for the HU-25 Falcon. The greater endurance allows the aircrew to remain on-scene longer, collect more information, support other assets, and track targets for longer periods of time. The final delivery

schedule for the first HC-144 for Air Station Cape Cod is still tentative, but could be as early as the summer or fall of 2012. The HC-144A’s sensor system is a Mission System Pallet (MSP). The MSP consists of a roll-on, roll-

off suite of electronic equipment that collects, compiles, interprets and disseminates data from the aircraft’s multiple integrated sensors to transmit and receive both classified and unclassified information from other assets including other aircraft, surface vessels and shore facilities. With multiple voice and data communications capabilities, as well as satellite communications, the HC-144A

will contribute, via a networked Command and Control system, to the Common Tactical Picture and Common Operating Picture. The aircraft is also equipped with a vessel Automatic Identification System, direction finding equipment, an Electro-Optical/Infra-Red system and a multi-mode search radar to improve the Ocean Sentry’s situational awareness and responsiveness. The HC-144A’s MSP is approximately 90 percent similar to the systems found on the Coast Guard’s HC-130H and HC-130J Long

Range Surveillance aircraft, enabling commonality in training and operation The Coast Guard team is also planning our celebration of the Centennial of Naval Aviation, which is being commemorated in 2011 all across the nation. Part of our celebration involves the refurbishing of our HU-16E Albatross that graced the front page of the Otis Notice last month. Under the leadership of Master Chief Keith Rees and his team of volunteers, the HU-16 has been moved off its pad and is now in our hangar being cleaned and prepared for paint. We are looking forward to the rededicating a newly painted HU-16 in the fall at our celebration ceremony. As the traffic gets worse outside of the gate, please don’t try to make up lost time by going above the speed limit inside the gate. We had some bad accidents last year as a result of excessive speed, and remember also that children are out playing in housing. The Coast Guard has already had a number of Search and Rescue cases this year, and for those of you who intend to go boating, I highly encourage you to use personal floatation devices (PFDs or life jackets) when you go. The majority of boating deaths could be prevented if people wore PFDs. I wish you all a relaxing and safe summer

TRICARE beneficiaries graduating from college this year may not have to rely on the Continued Health Care Benefit Plan (CHCBP) as their only health care plan option. TRICARE Young Adult (TYA), a new program offering TRICARE Standard coverage to qualified uniformed services dependents under age 26, may be a less expensive alternative. TYA Standard has a monthly premium of $186, much less than CHCBP’s premium of $988 per quarter. CHCBP is a separate program that offers temporary transitional health coverage for 18-36 months after all TRICARE eligibility ends. In fact, dependents who qualify for TYA are no longer eligible for CHCBP as of May 1, 2011. Dependent eligibility for TRICARE previously ended at age 21, or age 23 if enrolled in a full-time course of study at an approved institution of higher learning. To purchase TYA a beneficiary must be under 26, unmarried and not eligible for their own employer-sponsored health care coverage. Beneficiaries can get complete information about TYA and application forms at www.tricare.mil/tya. The application and three months premiums can be dropped off at a TRICARE Service Center, or mailed or faxed to the regional or overseas health care contractor. An in-depth TYA Webinar at www.tricare.mil/mediacenter explains who qualifies, when and where to enroll, and what type of coverage to expect. For more information on CHCBP go to www.tricare.mil/CHCBP or contact Humana Military Health Care Services at 1--444-5445. For the latest TRICARE news subscribe at www.tricare.mil/subscriptions.

Setting prioritiesAs summer arrives and the ‘season’ kicks off around the Cape, the following story is a reminder about setting priorities and recognizing those around you who have had a positive impact on your life. Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and then shared lectures on lessons learned from that experience. One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!”“How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb. “I packed your parachute,” the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand

and said, “I guess it worked!” Plumb assured him, “It sure did. If your chute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.” Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, “I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.” Plumb thought of the man hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn’t know. Now, Plumb asks his audience, “Who’s packing your parachute?” Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out

that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory-he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety. Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this day and week, and this summer season- recognize the people who pack your parachute!

Social media offers many Airmen another way to keep in touch with colleagues, friends and family, but users need to be aware of the risks associated with technical tools that help them share information, officials said Jan. 7. As more Airmen and their family members use smartphones to take pictures and access social networking sites, they could be inadvertently posting information showing the exact geographic location of their home, work location, or daily travel patterns through technology known as “geotagging.” “When Airmen post photos to the web or post their location via location-based software applications such as ‘Foursquare’ and ‘Facebook Places,’ a savvy terrorist or criminal can easily track where they live and work, their route of travel and even determine if they’re away from home,” said Maj. Gen. John Weida, the assistant deputy chief of staff for operations, plans and requirements. “These slips in innocent communication between, family, friends and colleagues can potentially cause an operations-security vulnerability.” Because geotagging adds geographical identification tophotographs, video, websites and SMS messages, people can tag a location on their photos, even if their camera or smartphone does not have a GPS function. “Geotags and location-based software updates are just the latest challenge; a simple search for ‘Afghanistan’ on sites such as Flickr or Google Images can reveal thousands of location tagged photographs that have been uploaded,” General Weida said. “We need to encourage all Airmen, civilians, contractors, and family members to practice good OPSEC and remain aware of what information they are placing in the public domain.” Many phones are automatically set up to capture this information by default, and users will have to navigate through their phone settings to disable this function.

air ForCe CaUtions against geotagging

Whether global contingency operations are classified or non-classified, the missions may still be sensitive in nature, also Airmen should not tag uploaded photos with their locations, General Weida said. “When taking photos, Airmen should be aware of the surrounding area, understanding that even objects in a photo can give away critical, unclassified information such as the location, type of personnel or type of weapons being used during the mission,” General Weida explained. “Publishing photos of mission locations can be detrimental to mission

success.” The general added that Airmen often take smartphones or MP3 players to deployed l o c a t i o n s , p o s s i b l y e n a b l i n g a d v e r s a r i e s to develop a composite of uploaded images and information through the spectrum of c o m m e r c i a l

programs available. “Exposing Airmen and unit locations gives the adversary an advantage that could impact the entire mission,” General Weida said. The general lauded the Army for its comprehensive product concerning geotagging that will also help educate the Air Force. “It is well worth reading by Airmen at every level,” General Weida said

IT’S A HIT: Softball season opens with a bang So I thought the early season of rain and the cold might derail our softball dreams, but little did I know that the demons hiding in the outfield grass would throw a monkey wrench or two at us to start the 2011 Jim Tabor Memorial Softball League. After a long winter’s nap, the Air Force Pave PAWS field was in need of some special attention as we had hoped to bring it up to the high standards that former “Yard Boss” Dusty Thompson set a few years ago. Dusty was maniacal about keeping the field in tip-top shape. The daunting task of filling Dusty’s shoes fell onto his relief, the very capable Heather Hurley. Well after some planning and shoveling (dirt), assisted by the Army Team Patriots Brendan Bowen and Chris Flis, the Pave PAWS field rounded into shape. So everything is looking good, right? Then the axe fell when USCG MWR Specialist Candy LeBlanc informed me that the Coast Guard Jim Tabor Field was getting a makeover; namely a nice big fat water main pipe running through right field. This bit of bad news meant that the Tabor Field would be out of commission for the WHOLE season. Now when you are planning on having a 12 team, 22 game season that runs from the end of May through the middle of August, the news that one field has been removed from the equation is devastating. But we (namely Candy, myself, Brendan and his gang, along with MWR and FED personnel)

put on our rally caps and came up with a plan… It was decided to fix up the Army Shaw Field and make it ready for the season. This was a daunting task, but Brendan “B” and his Engineers put their noses to the grindstone and started getting the field ready. As fate would have it, as the season opened, Candy called me with some great news; the plans for the water main at Tabor Field were not going

COMMuNITY ADVISOR BOARDASCC housing office is looking at setting up a Community Advisory Board. The main goal of this group will be to bring people together in the community by passing information, identifying problems and issues and then working together to develop solutions. We would like to solicit for two representatives from each housing area (5300, 5400, 5600 and 5700). As a representative, you will be a spokesperson for your area passing valuable information and assisting residents in need. Only by working together and sharing information can we make a positive impact for those residing in our neighborhoods. Therefore, our objective as a Community Advisory Board is to build an effective system of services which will strengthen cooperation among everyone.

When communities come together, neighborhoods are safer, problems are solved and people work together to make our community thrive.

Please call (508) 968-6505 if you are interested in becoming a member of the board.

This isn’t an ordinary day at the office. It’s a chance for a new career with the Massachusetts Air National Guard. We’re looking for people to work in ISR — Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. You can work near your home town. You can work part-time. You can work in one of the most challenging and exciting jobs in the military. Who ever thought work could be so exhilarating? Visit our website today at GoANG.com/intel or call 1-800-TO-GO-ANG.

to result in the field having to be closed down for the season, so we caught a huge break there! Finally for a change we got some good news to boost everyone’s spirits. Now if Mother Nature would just cooperate and show us some mercy with some sunshine, we might actually get to play some ball. They say you can’t fool Mother Nature, but she sure likes to fool with us. Finally the teams got around to playing some ball and the defending champs, the OTIS NOTICE Pirates opened the season against the Air Force Pave PAWS team. On this night Pave PAWS just wasn’t ready to face the onslaught from the Pirates bats as the Pirates cruised to two convincing victories winning the 1st game 26-0, and the second one, in which Pave PAWS played much better, was a 16-3 Pirate “W.” In the first game the 1st 3 Pirates reached base and then Mike “Hoad” Hoadley got the season off to a good start by hitting a grand slam!

Congressman Bill Keating met with local Coast Guard Auxiliary members on May 22 in Bourne, Mass., to join local boaters in having their recreational boats inspected before the upcoming boating season Local Auxiliary members conducted a courtesy marine inspection which goes over safety equipment required to be on every vessel on the water. These inspections are performed to check for items such as lifejackets, devices to signal distress, working navigational lights, and fire extinguishers. “Helping people prepare for an emergency before going out on the water is a top priority for members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary,” said Auxiliarist Tom Smith. “A free courtesy exam not only tells law enforcement on the water that you have the appropriate gear on board, it offers

piece of mind in the event of an emergency.” “I can’t think of a better way to finish my Maritime District Work Period and begin Safe Boat week than by providing recreational boat inspections to our residents,” said Rep. Keating. “This is such a vital service as the start of summer approaches and I want to thank the US Coast Guard for teaming with me on this initiative and for being such a positive presence in our district.”

while Larry “Inferno” Machado had 4 runs and 3 hits; Trevor Ankeny had 3 hits and 2 RBI’s. The whole infield of Trevor at 3B, Tim at SS, Sean at 2B and Hoad at 1B were solid and made several sharp double plays. In the outfield Zack was snaring all the fly balls and pitcher Brian Walters kept Pave PAWS off the scoreboard. The game ended after 5 innings due to the 15 run mercy rule. In the second game Pave PAWS played much better and the game went the 7 full innings.

Pave PAWS held the powerful Pirate bats to 16 runs and scored

three themselves as player coach Alvin “D-Train” Dean and Jon Stepp each led the way with a couple of hits. In game two the Pirates had a bunch of players with 3 hits, as Tim Utley, Zack Nolda (1 HR), Mike Hoad (1 HR), Larry Machado, Chris Horvath and Trevor Ankeny pounded the softball. Not to be outdone, Andy “Liebs” had 4 hits (1 HR) and 3 RBI’s, as did Hoad and Zack. Doubling their pleasure with 2 hits each were Sean Flynn, Paul Bassick and Mike “Junior” Hoadley. It turned out to be a good first night for the Pirates and although Pave PAWS lost both games, they figured out some positions for their players and started to hit the ball with some authority in the second game. No doubt they’ll figure it out as

the season moves along. And that is exactly what we are all going to do, thanks to the efforts of all that are mentioned in this story; we are moving along with the 2011 season. As a bonus, the Army is continuing to work on the Shaw Field, so after all our trials and tribulations, we will have our two main fields (Coast Guard Tabor Field and Pave PAWS Field) and a back up practice field at Shaw. What a country! Special mention has to go out to Brendan Bowen and the Army Engineers for rally the troops and helping us save the season, THANKS BRENDAN! Now it’s time to drag the fields, put the chalk down and play some ball.

May 21- 27, 2011 kicked off National Safe Boating Week, a time to promote awareness of safety and fun on the nation’s waterways. This week traditionally kicks off the boating season in most parts of the U.S., and signals that warm weather and boating are just around the corner. The Coast Guard Auxiliary’s mission is to contribute to the safety and security of the citizens of the United States. Through an active, nation-wide program of courtesy marine inspections, the 32,000 members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary educate the boating population on best practices on the water, how to remain safe, and help the boating public enjoy their time in the water. “During National Safe Boating Week and throughout the boating season, remember to practice safe and responsible boating, always wear your life jacket, and be alert and aware while on the water,” said Walt Taylor, the recreational boating safety specialist for the First Coast Guard District. “Practicing these simple steps may save

your life as well as the lives of the people boating with you. Safe and responsible boating saves lives so for this year’s North American Safe Boating Week and throughout the boating season remember to grab a life jacket and “Wear It!”

“I’m not afraid to be the pale girl in the bathing suit. It doesn’t bother me anymore.”

“I have friends who use tanning beds or lie out in the sun.

I tell them about Jaime.

Jaime was in her early 20s when she was diagnosed with

melanoma, and she died right before she turned 30.

One person dies from melanoma every hour.

After Jaime’s death, I completely walked away from tanning.

People think it’s safe. But I know it’s not. You could die -

just like Jaime did.”
