KATHMANDU, Nepal — When Senior Airman Manoj Khatiwada was asked to join a team of Pacific Air Force Airmen travel-ing to Nepal to assist the government with relief operations following a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, he was filled with mixed emotions.

“Returning to Nepal for this mission was an emotional moment for me. I didn’t know how I would react seeing the city where I was born and raised destroyed,” said Khatiwada, a 21st Medical Operations Squadron aerospace medical technician. “Thousands of Nepalese died and thou-sands are injured. I am happy that I am here but I am sad to see this happen to Nepal.”

Khatiwada was born and raised in Nepal and came to the United States in 2009 after winning permanent residency through the DV lottery program. Each year, the U.S. government makes 50,000 permanent resi-dence visas available through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. The DV program was designed to bring greater racial and ethnic diversity to the United States. It of-fers 50,000 permanent residency visas to citizens of nations that have traditionally low levels of immigration to the United States.

“Since childhood, I have had the desire

to be in uniform and serve in the military,” he said. “I was fortunate to join the world’s greatest military and serve the men and women who welcomed me with open arms.”

Since arriving in Nepal, Khatiwada has played a critical link between the Nepalese and the 36th Contingency Response Group in their effort to assist the Nepalese with ac-celerating airfield operations and increase the capacity to bring in aid via airlift, and ultimately distribute aid faster to those af-fected by this disaster.

“Having Senior Airman Khatiwada em-bedded with our team has helped us better communicate how we can assist the people of Nepal in the relief efforts,” said Lt. Col. Glenn Rinehart, 36th Mobility Response Squadron commander. “He understands their interests and helps ensure effective communication so we can work together better. What would have normally taken days to orchestrate, he has been able to com-municate and coordinate within hours.”

Khatiwada said his most rewarding part of his job was being able to work with the two countries he loves the most.

“The United States has always been generous and supportive to Nepal and the Nepalese. I am very thankful that the U.S. military is able to assist USAID and the Nepal government in the relief opera-tions,” he said. “This support means a lot to the country.”

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Team Pete’s Company Grade Officer’s Council recently gathered volunteers to build a play-ground at a foster home called Sarah’s Home.

Sarah’s Home is one of several foster homes for underage female sex trafficking victims. The home specializes in healing, education, restora-tion and reintegration. According to the on-site counselors, outdoor activities are known to have therapeutic effects on those who have post-traumatic stress disorder. However, since the victims’ identities are kept private for their safety, getting to public parks can be difficult.

Sarah’s Home was granted $3,000 for the construction project, which is how much swing sets normally cost, but the CGOC knew they could do better.

After surveying the site, the volunteers got to work.“The CGOC assembled their engineers, designed an entire playground

and got the plan approved by Sarah’s Home and the foster agency,” said Capt. Christian Morgan, CGOC professional development chair. “Because we built everything from scratch, we were able to deliver an elevated clubhouse with a zip line, high bars, dual swings, a tire swing and a tight rope for under the $3,000 budget.”

After two days, 26 volunteers and more than 200 man hours, not including the planning process, the project was completed.

“We are all blown away by the scope of our playground,” said Pati Nuce, Sarah’s Home staff director. “Thank you all so very much for all your time and expertise.”

Volunteering is a great way to get involved with the community, learn new skills, and most importantly to help those in need.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — With the worst of winter behind us, many folks are beginning to break out the hiking boots and sunscreen for some outdoor fun. Additionally, many motorcyclists who have been bound by snow and ice for the last several months are making their way onto the roads again.

Lt. Col. Mark Guerber, 16th Space Control Squadron commander and avid motorcyclist, recently briefed mem-bers of his unit on the importance of staying safe while on two wheels.

According to Air Force Safety Center, since 2005, mo-torcycle and automobile accidents are the leading cause of death among service members while off-duty.

This is one of reasons why Guerber is a strong advocate for motorcycle safety and remains as educated of a rider as possible.

“Motorcyclists take recurring training every couple of years and many of us practice emergency skills on a regu-lar basis,” said Guerber. “Although the risks are higher, a well-trained operator practices risk management daily.”

Guerber also explained that being a defensive rider is best considering no one else on the road is more concerned for your safety than you.

He said that it is imperative to not only pay attention to what other drivers are doing inside of their vehicles but, also to watch the wheels of cars around you.

“A car driver may not do a head check before changing lanes, but the human eye can easily see when the wheels go out of parallel and start heading toward your bike,” said Guerber.

Guerber also offered advice to car drivers who might not understand the risk typical hazards, like oil, water, or sand and gravel, can pose to motorcyclists.

“Cars need to be aware of road hazards that have a great-er impact on motorcycles,” Guerber said. “Motorcycles will go slower and wider than a car driver expects be-cause the challenge of negotiating these obstacles with less available traction.”

Guerber added that wildlife pose a significant risk to riders, and to steer toward the rear of an animal to try to avoid a collision.

Speaking personally, Guerber recounted a time when his inexperience nearly caused a mishap that could have ended very badly.

“I was on a sport bike approaching an intersection, looking at cross traffic while I slowed down with the front brake,” said Guerber. “When I heard tires squeal, I looked forward to see the driver from another lane had merged into my lane and cut off the driver in front of me.

Guerber said rather than releasing his brake and mov-ing into the empty lane next to him, he clamped down on his front brake, stopping mere inches from the car in front of him.

“Although I stopped ... my bike collapsed sideways with me under it. Proper habits, drilled into muscle memory would have kept me and my bike from a lot of pain and damage,” he said.

Ultimately Guerber equated safe driving as a matter of “dollars and cents.”

“Whether you’re in a car or on a bike, you’ve only got $10 worth of attention and skill,” said Guerber. “If you don’t practice, and develop safe habits, you may spend $9 just driving. When an emergency pops up, you’re left with just $1 to handle a much more challenging situation.”

Guerber added that proper practice and planning al-low riders to f lip this equation, “spending” $1 on driving leaving the other $9 to focus on negotiating emergency maneuvers.”

Anyone interested in more tips for safe riding or driv-ing, as well as motorcycle safety classes, should contact the 21st SW Safety Office at 556-4392.

Commander briefs education, safety tips for motorcyclists

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Lt. Col. Mark Guerber, 16th Space Control Squadron commander and avid motorcyclist, discusses proper personal protective equipment during a motorcycle safety briefing April 2. According to Air Force Safety Center, motorcycle and automobile accidents are the leading cause of death among service members while off-duty, which is why this training is vital to ensuring riders and drivers alike are safe and educated while on the road.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — “He’s not leadership material...he’s just a follower.” Have you ever heard or spoke words like that about someone before? They were assuredly meant as a put down and a sign that the person was not cut from the right cloth to serve in our military.

As part of our warrior ethos, we study lead-ership continuously throughout our careers and hold its virtues in the highest regard. We strive to be the most effective leaders we can be, emulating those we admire and rejecting the qualities of those we do not. We tend to attribute success to the leader of the team, and ignore the significant contributions of its followers. Let’s face it, the word follower typi-cally carries a negative connotation. However, a reality we must all face is that everyone has a boss...each and every one of us. We will always find ourselves in the role of follower, whether we like to admit it or not.

If we truly seek excellence in all we do, how can we become exceptional followers? One of the most often studied books on followership is “A Message to Garcia” by Elbert Hubbard. First published in 1899, it tells the story of Lt. Andrew Rowan’s journey to Cuba during the Spanish American War to carry a communi-qué to the rebel leader, Gen. Garcia, on behalf of President McKinley. According to legend, McKinley told Rowan to carry the message to Garcia without telling him where to find him or even what he looked like...and Rowan didn’t ask. The book doesn’t go into detail on Rowan’s heroic real life journey, but instead focuses on why Rowan is an ideal follower. He did his duty without asking questions. Don’t take away the wrong message here. The Air Force is not looking for blind obedience

in its Airmen. The message is simply that a good and dutiful Airman does his task to the best of his or her ability, with full heart and without complaint.

Expanding on this theme, let’s take a deeper look into some of the qualities that make an exceptional follower:

- Always take the initiative...and follow through. One of my operations officers years ago used to say, “If not you, then who?” His point was that if you see a problem, take the initiative and solve it. Be a self-starter and don’t wait to be told what to do. You should absolutely seek guidance where warranted, but I’d much prefer a follower with a lot of thrust in need of a vector than the other way around. As important as initiative is, the follow-through is what counts.

- Always bring solutions to your boss...not just problems. The worst thing a follower can do is load their boss up with problems. This adds complexity to the decision making pro-cess, not to mention undue stress by forcing your boss to solve your problems. An excep-tional follower thinks through the problem before approaching their boss and brings solu-tions to the fight. Your job is to take problems off your boss’ back, not add to them.

- Always be honest. If you don’t know, say so. Nothing is more frustrating for a leader than making a decision based on flawed in-formation. We’ve all been there, your boss is asking for information and needs it quick, and you’re just not sure what the answer is. Rather than giving half of the information, have the courage to say you don’t know. Being honest builds credibility and trust. Of course, the next step is finding the information your boss needs immediately.

- Always support the boss. All leaders have their share of flaws. The very qualities that make a great leader (strong convictions, con-fidence and drive) also put them at risk for excessive ambition, failure to listen and un-due risk taking. An exceptional follower will support leadership while helping their boss avoid these pitfalls. Rather than complain-ing about their boss or undermining their decisions (don’t be a Dilbert), a great follower will demonstrate loyalty and upward coach or counsel when appropriate.

- Always take responsibility. The best fol-lower owns the tasks they are seeking to ac-complish. They do not shirk their duty or pass the blame or responsibility on to their teammates.

The next time you are studying leadership, take a moment and think about the other side of the equation, followership, and its critical role in the success of our Air Force. I also encourage you to read “A Message to Garcia.” The book is easily found on the internet and is a very quick read. Besides celebrating the he-roic acts of a great American, it teaches us that an exceptional follower thinks for himself, figures out what needs to be done and then does it. Remember, it’s OK to be a follower.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Significant renovations continue at the 21st Medical Group. Upon completion, build-ings 959 (main clinic), 725 (medical group annex) and 2012 (Area Dental Lab), will have improved patient flow and functionality. Phase two of the construction project was completed May 4, and allergy/immuniza-tions, laboratory, optometry, public health and radiology are now open for business in their new and permanent locations within the main clinic.

Allergy/immunizations and public health are now located immediately across from the main pharmacy. Both check-in desks are located on the left side of the clinic’s main lobby.

Laboratory and radiology are also located within the main clinic in their pre-construc-tion locations, but are newly renovated with new check-in areas. For easy access, enter the clinic’s main entrance, but do not enter the main lobby. Take the newly renovated hallway immediately to the left. Check-in and waiting areas for both departments are approximately 100 feet down the hallway on the right-hand side.

Optometry also returned to its original location within the main clinic, and is newly

renovated. Patient check-in is temporarily located in its pre-construction location and can be accessed through the main clinic’s north entrance on the back side of the clinic.

Patient administration and medical re-cords will remain in the temporary modular facility behind the 21st Medical Group Annex until September 2015.

The final phase of construction started May 4. This phase involves construction of the new entrance on the back side of the main clinic, continuation of the Area Dental Lab repairs and final renovation of the medical group annex.

Access to mental health and drug demand reduction will be limited to the medical group annex northwest door until mid-August 2015, at which time it will close for canopy construction. Mental health and drug demand reduction access will then shift to the west (main front) entrance in the semi-circle drive.

Allow a little extra time for your appoint-ment and follow the new signs. Estimated project completion is September 2015, at which time patient administration and medical records will move into permanent locations within the medical group annex. The 21st Medical Group looks forward to serving all beneficiaries in its newly reno-vated facilities. For information about the project, call 556-5588.

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Florida — Forty buildings on Peterson Air Force Base are about to be evalu-ated for a prospective energy makeover.

The Air Force Installation Contracting Agency, in conjunction with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, recently released a notice of intent to award to Schneider Electric Buildings Americas, Inc., the energy service company that will potentially execute an energy sav-ings performance contract at the Air Force Space Command installation.

Schneider will now conduct an in-vestment grade audit of the 40 facilities within the scope of the ESPC, recom-mending energy upgrade opportunities to bring efficiency and energy savings to Peterson, without up-front capital investment by the Air Force. This en-ables the Air Force to take advantage of the latest industry expertise, innovation and financing models to make its instal-lations more energy efficient.

“What the ESCOs bring to the table is their truly unique experience in the field,” said Maj. Daniel Diaz Jr., energy branch chief at AFSPC. “They can find the best opportunities for energy ef-ficiencies, develop a plan to execute and are responsible for operation and maintenance long term.”

Because facilities systems are more sophisticated than ever, maintenance agreements and warranties are a crucial

benefit of ESPCs, which range from 10 to a maximum of 25 years.

“Unlike the 1950s and 60s — when buildings were pretty basic — we now have facilities with complex systems and sophisticated controls,” said Fox Theriault, energy analyst for AFSPC. “The ESCOs come in with that exper-tise and, because they install the latest technology, are maintaining it for us, the workload on the local base shops is alleviated. If we have a problem with a system, we call the ESCO under the warranty.”

After the audit is complete, AFCEC will review Schneider’s recommenda-tions and offer feedback. A final pro-posal will then be submitted, reviewed and negotiated. Work will begin after the final proposal is accepted by the Air Force.

“This is the first of four bases in space command where we are explor-ing ESPCs. The other three have been identified, and we are looking forward to the Peterson project to apply suc-cesses and lessons learned to future projects,” Theriault said. “We felt that building this team from base level, us-ing people from the major command and AFCEC, the synergy we brought together and the expertise that we had, was the way to build a good program.”

The kickoff meeting for the IGA is targeted for mid to late May. AFCEC is currently pursuing potential ESPC opportunities valued at approximately $416 million by the end of calendar 2016.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 21st Space Wing will host its Spring 2015 Wingman Day May 29. Air Force units conduct Wingman Day twice a year to give Airmen time to re-focus on core values, enhance resilience skills, and further develop and maintain trusted, valued relationships with fellow Airmen through team-building activities and squadron events.

Comprehensive Airman Fitness is not a program; it is a lifestyle for Airmen, including civilian employees, and their families. A more comprehensive focus on fitness — physical, social, mental and spiritual — makes Airmen better equipped to tackle challenges in their personal and professional lives. Military members face a range of challenges,

including high operational tempo, de-ployments, recurrent change and the requirement to maintain high personal and professional standards of conduct. The goal of CAF Resilience Training is to increase proactive coping, self-man-agement and leadership skills to enhance individual resilience. Cultivating these skills will enable the Air Force to main-tain a cadre of balanced, healthy, self-confident Airmen and family members who rely on physical, mental, spiritual and social fitness to effectively manage stressors associated with military service.

Knowing how to find the right resourc-es to help others — and yourself — is fun-damental to being a good Wingman. The online Wingman Toolkit has resources, videos, stories, and more information about resilience skills. To view the toolkit visit http://www.wingmantoolkit.org/.

For more information, call 556-6768 or email [email protected].

Every day is Wingman Day

By Dave Smith21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — From a young age, 2nd Lt. Kevin Durr fell in love with soccer. Growing up in Germany where his father was a colonel in the U.S. Army, soccer was a typical part of life.

That early exposure to the sport and to the military came together for him. Durr, a soft-ware project manager with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, is also a profes-sional soccer player for the Colorado Springs Switchbacks Soccer Club. He is a midfielder for the Switchbacks, which is an expansion team in the United States Soccer League, playing their first season.

Durr played for the Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich youth programs growing up. The two are top-tier teams in the German football system, and playing for them gave young Durr valuable experience. He also played for the first team of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen club.

Even though he lived in a country where soccer is a regular part of life and passion for the sport runs deep, Durr knew he was going to head to the United States to continue his on-pitch career in college. He had plenty of programs to choose from with schools like the U.S. Air Force Academy, West Point, James Madison, Princeton and Seton Hall recruiting him. He chose the Academy.

“Something seemed more appealing about the Air Force,” Durr said. “Maybe it was the opportunities available.” His brother Stefan played soccer for James Madison at the time and he considered the school for that reason, but in the end the Academy stood above the others.

“The Academy had so many things no other school could get close to,” Durr said. “It gave me a way to serve my country in ways I could not at other places.” The people at the Academy also swayed his choice. He said the coaches, players and others he came across during his visit solidified his choice. “It seemed like the right fit for me, I felt com-fortable in that environment.”

Among the many highlights of his USAFA soccer career, defeating New Mexico, ranked fifth nationally at the time, on their own pitch

for the conference title during his senior year stands out most. The win advanced Durr and his Falcon teammates to the NCAA tourna-ment for the first time in 15 years.

As time passed and Durr was assigned to Peterson, he continued to work out on his own, not sure about where his future in terms of soccer would lead. Then fortune smiled on him. The USL expanded and the Colorado Springs Switchbacks Football Club began putting together a roster.

“I was very fortunate the team came to Colorado Springs,” Durr said. “I thought, ‘I need to do anything I can to get on this team, to be a part of it.’”

After his college career, he was drafted by the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer. He didn’t play with the team because his Air Force commitment didn’t allow the time needed for participating. After his selection to the Switchbacks, Durr is pleased with the organization’s willingness to work with him. He makes it to games and practices as he can and works out on his own in between.

“The club is very understanding and sup-portive of my situation. They make it easier than it could be in many cases,” Durr said.

So far Durr has played 31 minutes over the course of three games for the club and he is savoring every moment.

“It’s been very busy, but a lot of fun so far,” he said.

Several things factor into his future. He wants to combine the Air Force and soccer, though he admits it will be hard. He might consider coaching at some point, but he said that would come when he is too old to com-pete because he enjoys playing too much.

“I am having a lot of fun and I hope it can continue. There is always the next level, but you have to be successful with the team you are on. I am going to enjoy the ride while I am on it,” he said. “I want to be in the Air Force and play at the highest level possible at the time.”

For youngsters looking to improve in the increasingly popular sport, Durr offered advice from his experience.

“The more you practice, the better you become,” he said. “Set a higher standard for yourself and do not be satisfied. Try to make every move as excellent as you can.”
