Air Force Space Command Public Affairs
In an effort to standardize uniform wear across Air Force Space Command in a re-source-constrained environment, General William L. Shelton, commander of AFSPC, directed that personnel assigned to AFSPC cease wearing flight suits, the green flight jacket and the A-2 leather jackets, effective no later than the end of the fiscal year.
AFSPC stopped purchasing the Flight Duty Uniforms, Desert Flight Duty Uniforms and A-2 Leather Jackets, and associated patches, for space operators March 14.
“We want to create synergy among all per-sonnel across the command,” said General Shelton. “When personnel wear the same uni-form it has a unifying effect toward mission accomplishment. Standardization among the entire command prevents the perception of a ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ situation; the very meaning of the word ‘uniform’ should drive us toward standardization.”
This policy change was presented to AFSPC leadership from personnel within the command during an effort to identify command-wide efficiency opportunities. The policy affects approximately 1,800 Airmen in the Space Systems Operations and Space and Missile Operations career fields. It will save an estimated $670,000 per year during a time of fiscal constraint throughout the Air Force.
“Regardless of what uniform we are
wearing, we will continue to deliver the cyber and space capabilities in demand by our warf-ighters and users around the world,” said Col. James Ross, 50th Space Wing commander.
An AFSPC policy letter issued April 10 states that starting Oct. 1, military person-nel in any Air Force Specialty Code assigned to an AFSPC unit will no longer be autho-rized to wear the flight suit and green flight
jacket, unless they are engaged in flying op-erations, nor are they authorized to wear the A-2 leather jacket.
“Between the expense of purchasing these items, and the fact that our operations don’t involve flying, this recommendation was good common sense,” General Shelton said.
This policy only affects Airmen assigned to AFSPC.

Has anyone ever asked you out of the blue, “Why are you here?” More specifically, “Why did you join the Air Force?” The reasons for joining the Air Force vary from person to person. They often include patriotism, great benefits, honor, belonging to a team, personal challenge, love of country and following in the family’s footsteps. For me all of these reasons applied when I joined 20 years ago. For many Airmen, a big reason is to be part of something bigger than yourself. That distinguishes mili-tary members from many other professions. We cherish being part of a team.
I initially learned the importance of team-work while participating in high school athlet-ics. During cross country races, a team had to get at least five members across the finish line before the other team to win. No matter how fast the first four runners were, the fifth person’s finish won or lost the competition. In crew, the team works in unison to cross the finish line first. In basketball or football, everyone must pull their weight to achieve success. All of these were won or lost as a team. The famous UCLA basketball coach, John Wooden, once called teamwork, “A will-ingness to sacrifice personal interest or glory for the welfare of all.”
There are endless stories of the impor-tance of teamwork during wartime. A B-17 Flying Fortress had six different gunners to protect the aircraft from enemy attack. The mission relied on all of the plane’s gunners doing their job to ensure bombs made it to target. While being held as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, Vice Admiral James Stockdale
was held captive in the well known “Hanoi Hilton” prison. His captors planned to film the captured naval aviator, exploiting him for propaganda purposes. To prevent this, Vice Admiral Stockdale deliberately injured and disfigured his own face. He couldn’t toler-ate the thought of letting his team down. In 2011, during the raid to kill Osama Bin Laden, members of the Navy’s Seal Team Six oper-ated as a coordinated team on the extremely dangerous mission. They each performed the mission and achieved their objective. Unlike the winning team of a Super Bowl or World
Series, their names remain unknown to the public. The mission truly epitomizes service values such as service before self.
Teamwork requires integrity as well as self-lessness. Being on the team has become a way of life for many of us. We’ve all seen examples of people who do not put the team first. There are those who seek personal gain, even at the expense of others. During Air Force train-ing, you likely heard the phrase, “We don’t lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those among us who do.” This simple phrase serves as a cornerstone of military service and should never be taken lightly.
Each year the public is given a survey to identify the most trustworthy professions. The military consistently ranks near the top thanks to the outstanding integrity of our members. I have seen several instances that reveal the great amount of trust the public places in military members. I was once se-lected for jury duty in the early 1990s. When the lawyers began seeking candidates for their jury they quickly realized I was a member of the armed forces. They selected me second out of a group of several hundred people, believing I would be impartial and honest.
Maintaining a winning team isn’t easy. The Air Force and the 50th Space Wing require your contributions to remain a world-class organi-zation. It’s the responsibility of each member to ensure your unit is operating efficiently, productively and by established guidelines. Gen. Curtis Lemay had an effective policy to promote quality in Strategic Air Command during the height of the Cold War. He believed every member of SAC was just as important as

By 21st Medical Group Family AdvocacyThe Schriever Family Advocacy Program recently unveiled
a new crisis line to support victims of domestic violence. The new phone line is available 24/7 for military members and their dependents that are in need of emergency support. The new line is in conjunction with the Domestic Abuse Victim Advocate program.
“The new crisis line is a wonderful resource for victims of domestic violence,” said Capt. Dawn Scovel, 21st Medical Group Family Advocacy chief. “It will not be just a resource, but an actual person who can accompany victims to doctor’s appointments, court dates, etc. They will have a live person to walk them through what can be a very intimidating and traumatic process.”
The program provides comprehensive services and re-ferrals, which include but are not limited to safety plan-ning and risk assessment, as well as prevention education. Victims who are military medical beneficiaries are offered DAVA support services. The DAVA’s main priority is to sup-port the victim as they make safe and informed decisions for themselves and children. All services are non-clinical, voluntary and free. Confidentiality is guaranteed by state, federal and military regulations.
In 2005, the Department of Defense completed an as-sessment of domestic abuse victim advocate services. The assessment reported the following: Victims stated that sup-port from an advocate helped them know more about their rights and options. They were more: aware of community resources and services; inclined to develop a safety plan to use to prevent further incidents of violence; comfortable asking for help in the future; and hopeful about their future and felt less alone by seeking help.
Domestic violence is often thought of as being physi-cal abuse. However, that is not the major component of domestic violence. Domestic violence is comprised of a pattern of coercive behaviors designed to dominate and/or control an intimate partner, regardless of gender. It oc-curs when one person exercises inappropriate power and control over their intimate partner. It may include some or all of the following: threats, intimidation, isolation, verbal battering like name calling, constant criticism or humilia-tion, stalking, forced sexual acts, economic control as well as physical battering that could include shoving, punching, kicking, hitting, slapping or choking. Such behaviors are injurious and prevent victims from exercising their legal freedoms. All active duty and DoD civilians are mandated
to report incidents of domestic violence according to Air Force Instruction 40-301, Family Advocacy Program.
Domestic violence affects everyone in the home, including children. Children living in a home where domestic violence is present may show outward signs of their trauma. Infants may suffer from attachment disorders. Toddlers can suffer from sleep disturbances. Preschool children may regress developmentally. School-age children may be depressed or act out aggressively. Adolescents are at risk for recreating an abusive relationship when they begin to date.
Outreach and prevention education are available through the DAVA. Information and presentations on the overall effect of domestic violence in the community, family and especially children are also available.
“When an individual calls the crisis line, they can expect a confidential advocate who will talk them through a safety plan and resources for any type of services they will need, depending on their circumstance,” said Scovel.
If you or someone you know has experienced domestic violence, you are not alone. Help and support is available. For more information or to seek help, you may reach the Domestic Abuse Victim Advocate at the Family Advocacy Program at 719-556-8571 or after duty hours at 719-244-9903.
New crisis line available for Schriever members

Did you know there is a new wireless local area network available at Schriever AFB? It is called 2GWLAN.
The Combat Information Transport System Program Management Office from Hanscom AFB, Mass., recently completed installation of standardized wireless services at Schriever.
The wireless service is part of the Combat Information Transport System initiative to modernize communications and information infrastructure. This program is designed to give each Air Force base a standard, secure wireless computing environment.
“The Air Force recognizes that mobile computing ca-pability is growing,” said Marvin McLean, 50th Space
Communications Squadron project manager. “And that implementation must integrate with the current CITS ar-chitecture to provide assured, available and accountable communication.”
Wireless network service is available in Bldg. 210, wing and mission support group conference rooms; Bldg. 220; Bldg. 300/301, network operations group and operations group conference rooms; Bldg. 406, 310th Space Wing con-ference room; Bldg. 600, conference room; Bldg. 620, 632, 640, 650 and 780 warehouses.
“This project brings Schriever into the 21st century of secure, fast, wireless connectivity computing,” said Wardell Adams, 50 SCS flight chief. “This is useful to the 50th Space Wing community by making daily administrative duties easier and executable from multiple locations other
than at their desktop.”The range and locations of the new Wi-Fi system are
intentionally limited due to current program contract and security requirements. Outdoor web surfing is not avail-able, and only government-issued laptops will be able to access the wireless system for remote computing. Individuals who come to Schriever on temporary duty can also use the wireless option in one of the 2GWLAN-equipped confer-ence rooms.
If interested in taking advantage of the new capabilities call 567-2666 and open a ticket through the Enterprise Services Desk. Once the ESD transfers the ticket, a local customer support technician will contact you to configure the wireless connection on the user’s government-issued laptop.

As it has in years past, Schriever will once again celebrate Arbor Day by planting a tree at the child development center May 4.
This year Andy Jensen, 50th Civil Engineer Squadron, environmental flight chief, will hand out more than 100 Colorado blue spruce seedlings to CDC children during the cer-emony, but the star of the show will be a Patmore ash.
If all goes as planned, the Patmore ash will have a new home just to the right of the CDC entrance, then grow into a healthy deciduous tree that enhances the landscape around it for decades to come. Jensen chose it because an urban forestry survey showed that ash varieties grow well in Schriever’s climate.
Doug Chase, 50 CES environmental engi-neer, explained that proper selection is the first step in ensuring a healthy tree. As a former tree farmer and member of the Kansas Nut Growers Association, Chase managed the growth of more than 20 state champion trees and oversaw the management of the second largest red bud in America.
“The first thing to consider when you’re se-lecting a tree is the location it will be planted in,” he said. “If it is going to rest under power lines you’ll want a shorter tree and if it will be close to a structure you’ll want something with smaller branches like a pin oak. That way if a branch falls off it’s unlikely to dam-age the structure.”
Homeowners should also consider whether their new tree will serve as a shade or decora-tive plant. From there, people should consult a planting guide, such as a manual of woody landscape plants, available at most libraries, or one of many websites that contain a list of state champion trees.
When tree planters are ready to purchase, Chase recommends they visit a nursery that carries licensed-variety trees and never buy a tree larger than 1 inch in diameter. People
will be able recognize a licensed-variety tree because they are named and annotated with a pair of apostrophes at the nursery.
“Licensed-variety trees exceed the stan-dard for desired characteristics,” Chase said. “They exceed the standard for height, growth and the ability to flower, for instance. A good example of a small decorative tree would be a licensed-variety red bud called lavender twist. A good medium sized decorative tree would be something named Ali, a licensed-variety Chinese elm. This tree exfoliates its
bark, is decorative year round and its seeds fall off during autumn and are not a problem in flower beds, so it’s a spectacular tree.”
For shade trees, Chase recommends plant-ing a licensed variety swamp white oak or a sawtooth oak.
Nurseries can order varieties they don’t have in stock, so he urges people to never settle for something less.
After deciding a purpose, a location and se-lecting the variety of tree they desire, buyers or homeowners are ready to begin planting.
Chase said tree planters should see 3 to 5 feet of growth in their tree every year if they can follow these simple tips.
• Dig the ground hole twice the width of the root ball.
• Plant the top of the root ball at least one inch above the existing grade.
• Practice proper staking. Use one stake at an angle one foot above the ground to hold the tree against the wind. This way, roots can attach to the ground. Many people use three different stakes near the top of a tree, but you don’t want that. Stake at the root ball to get the tree growing.
• Use electrical tape to attach the stake to the tree and use a figure-eight pattern while taping.
• Keep vegetation out 3 to 4 feet. Eighty per-cent of tree roots grow in the top 16 inches of soil. Keep grass competition away from trees, otherwise it takes nutrients from your tree.
• Fertilize properly. Only fertilize a tree that has been actively growing. Do not fertil-ize a tree that has just been planted. The best time to fertilize in Colorado is late March and early October.
• Prune properly. The best time to prune is right before full leaf break. Prune right at the end of the growth collar. Do not prune low limbs. Low limbs will increase growth rate and increase trunk taper.
• Use mulch. Mulches of wood chips, bark or other coarse organic materials will con-serve moisture, prevent erosion and weed/grass growth and reduce soil temperature, resulting in improved growth and health.
• Irrigate. Plan to water your tree every seven to 10 days throughout the growing season when adequate rainfall does not oc-cur. Irrigate slowly, allowing the water to soak the soil.
• Prevent line trimmer or mower injury. Young bark is easily bruised or killed result-ing in stress and reduced tree growth, often followed by disease.

Air Force Space Command vice commander discusses cyberspace, cyber operationsBy Capt. Brooke Brander
Air Force Space Command Public Affairs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Air Force Space Command Vice Commander discussed AF cyberspace oper-ations during the opening session of the Space Foundation’s Cyber 1.2 conference at The Broadmoor hotel here, April 16.
Lt. Gen. Michael Basla highlighted progress made in AF cyber operations over the past year, discussed war and cyberspace, cyber operations risk and risk mitigation dur-ing his remarks that opened the conference.
“Cyberspace is a part of every war fight, every mission that we’re in,” explained General Basla. “Everyone is fo-cused on cyber.”
The general said the last year has been a busy one with measurable progress. Multiple Department of Defense and Department of the AF offensive and defensive cyber opera-tions capabilities have been developed, tested, fielded and operationalized. Each new capability was developed and deployed with a weapons system mindset; from hardware, to software, to certification of the operators.
In addition, the Cyberspace Professional Development plan was signed Dec. 2011 and put into action. To date, more than 5,700 cyberspace professionals have been certified.
“This is a deliberate development program for cyberspace professionals that makes sure they have the technical and the tactical depth and breadth required,” said General Basla.
Finally, the AF Network, or AFNET, migration has been the number one cyberspace priority for the command and has shown significant progress, General Basla said. Since last year, 167,000 users and 40 sites around the world have been successfully migrated with completion expected in 2013. In addition, 27 legacy cyber systems have been retired.
The general also highlighted the important role that cy-berspace plays in war today as well as into the future.
“Cyberspace is closely linked to everything we do in war,” said General Basla. “It is both a warfighting domain...and an enabling capability.”
From GPS-enabled Joint Direct Attack Munitions to the cyberspace command and control links and satellite superiority vital to the Remotely Piloted Aircraft mission, space and cyberspace are vital to the warfighter, the gen-eral said.
The cyber domain also comes with risk, risk that must be and is being mitigated, said General Basla.
“We have to assume that the enemy will be inside our networks for malice, curiosity, or just for the challenge,” explained the general. “We must prioritize our defense efforts with a mission assurance approach.”
The general further explained that it only takes a cheap laptop and an internet connection for an adversary to become a major player and threat in the cyberspace domain.
Twenty-fourth AF has created “Hunter Teams,” cyberspace defenders who actively search for enemies on AF networks with the purpose of identifying, pursuing and mitigating cyberspace threats, providing the AF with an element of deterrence.
These cyberspace defenders recently participated in RED FLAG 12-3, honing their cyber skills by defending the C2 mission of the Combined Air Operations Center at Nellis Air Force Base, NV. It was the first time “Hunter Teams” took part in the AF’s advanced aerial combat training exercise.
The general closed by emphasizing the need for all Airmen to be better consumers of cyberspace.
“Our Airmen are very, very conscious of FOD on a run-way. But are they as conscious about those downloads? Are they as conscious about that thumb drive that they plugged into their desktop?”

Capt. Dan Coleman’s physical training sessions aren’t what they used to be.
Anyone who happens to catch a glimpse of Coleman run-ning might notice his stern facial expression and his gritty, determined gait. The 1st Space Operations Squadron mission commander has been training like he’s on a mission lately, as have a few of his 1 and 7 SOPS teammates.
“I’ve felt a little tired on a couple of occasions during the past few weeks,” said Lt. Col. Mike Manor, 1 SOPS com-mander. “Then I’ve thought, well I better get out there and run so I’ll be ready. There’s only a couple weeks left until race day.”
Coleman, Manor and 10 more Team 8-Ball members will compete May 5 in the Colorado Spartan Military Race at Fort Carson, Colo.
“Originally, I was just going to run it myself because I kept hearing about these obstacle-style distance events, but I’ve never been stationed close enough to enter one,” Coleman said. “When I found out they were allowing teams to com-pete, I sent out a squadron-wide e-mail. Pretty soon, we had enough to field a team (four) and it grew from there.”
Lt. Col. Robb Owens, 1 SOPS director of operations, figured the race was a great idea on multiple levels: it was something fun and different from an average marathon or triathlon, the event would provide an opportunity for 1 and 7 SOPS to increase camaraderie and team members could use the event as motivation for their personal fitness goals.
“We go out and push pretty hard, and sometimes, it gets a little monotonous just running for the sake of running,” Owens said. “This gives us a goal, something to shoot for and anticipate.”
At 4 miles in length, the Colorado Spartan Military Race shouldn’t be too taxing for the majority of military mem-bers who must pass fitness assessments on a regular basis. Its difficulty lies in its 15 obstacles, some designed by the installation’s 4th Infantry Division and special forces units. Event organizers prefer to keep the specific obstacles a mys-tery. Competitors’ only clues for what they might face come in the form of videos that event organizers have placed on their website.
Coleman said each venue is different, but Team 8-Ball members can expect to climb cargo nets, crawl through mud
bogs and face Pugil-Pole wielding gladiator types intent on impeding competitors’ progress.
Though Manor insists Team 8-Ball has not set a goal of winning the team competition, its members expect to rep-resent the Air Force, Schriever and space squadrons well.
“There is something motivating about showing the other services what space operators are made of,” Manor said.
Anyone in 1 or 7 SOPS who is interested in joining the competition should contact Coleman for more information, but be advised entry fees get more expensive the later the date. Though entry fees for the Colorado Spartan Military Race are considerable, proceeds go toward the Green Beret Foundation, which provides unconventional resources to facilitate the special needs of wounded, ill and injured special
forces members.“The more I learned about the race the better it sounded,”
Manor said. “It’s a bit expensive, but finding out that pro-ceeds go toward helping special forces members was the big selling point for me.”
In the meantime, Schriever members might just find Manor, Owens and their teammates training in their grimy old running shoes.
“We don’t want to ruin our new shoes by trudging through mud and its best to train with what you’ll use during the race,” said Owens. “We’re anticipating getting wet and being cold too. It should be as much a mental test as a physical one.”

It’s the end of the day and you’re getting ready to walk out the door. You have your trash in one hand and recycling in the other, but inside the recycling is that pile of papers that didn’t make it to the shredder. As opposed to walking all the way back to the office to shred those papers, a few thoughts might come to mind such as, “Does it really need to be shredded? Why not just throw it in the trash, no one will notice.” But, little known fact, the minute those papers hit the trash is when the 100 percent shred policy has been violated, as well as potentially violating the Privacy Act of 1974.
“So you think, it’s no big deal, we do it all the time, what’s the worst that can happen?” said Tech. Sgt. Georgina Williams, Schriever’s Privacy Act/Freedom of Information Act manager. “Criminal penalties can occur when any agency officer or employee willfully makes a disclosure of a record knowing it will be in violation of the Privacy Act or maintains a system of records without publishing the required notice. Penalties include a misdemeanor charge and a fine up to $5,000. Personally, I do not have that much money to hand out because I did not protect a social security number properly.”
According to the Air Force Privacy Act website the histori-cal context of the Privacy Act began in 1974 when Congress was concerned with curbing the illegal surveillance and investigation of individuals by federal agencies that had been exposed during the Watergate scandal. Congress was also concerned with potential abuses presented by the gov-ernment’s increasing use of computers to store and retrieve personal data by means of a universal identifier, such as an individual’s social security number.
“Treat Privacy Act information as ‘For Official Use Only’ information,” said Williams. “Some common violations include putting Privacy Act information in the trash recep-tacle, recall rosters not properly protected, such as when they
are left in binders on front counters or stapled on informa-tion boards and lastly, supervisors leaving personal data on public computer drives, such as performance reports.”
The 100 percent unclassified shred policy states that stan-dardization is essential to protecting daily operations. At the same time, this protection must be balanced with the need to recycle high-grade paper according to 40CFR246.200-1.
At present, the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron ensures all shredded paper is recycled. Every unit is responsible for ensuring that all paper, except magazines and news-papers, is shredded using authorized cross-cut shredders, which are verified by the 50th Space Wing Information Protection office, and that all paper material is placed into authorized paper recycling receptacles. Adherence to these standards assure protection of information, sim-plifies individual action requirements, minimizes risks and ensures recycling standards are maintained to the maximum extent possible.
“Here at the 50th, we’ve gone through great strides to meet our 100 percent shred goals,” said Tech. Sgt. Jamie Encina, 50 SW. “From the wing purchase in high-quality shredders, to the stand-up of a dedicated shred facility by the 50th Space Communications Squadron, to all units actively conducting monthly dumpster dives, everyone is doing their part. Tie this into our education efforts at com-mander’s calls and at newcomers briefings, I have confidence that we as a wing are making our best effort to maintain the highest [operational security] standards.”
The Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act provide balance between the right of the public to obtain information from military service records and the right of the veteran to protect their privacy. It is up to everyone to safeguard Privacy Act information and adhere to the 100 percent shred policy. Take the time to send paper to the shredder instead of the dumpster. That one step can avoid hefty fines and repercussions. To report a Privacy Act viola-tion contact your privacy act unit coordinator.
Avoid the fine, shred all the time
U. S. Air Force photo/2nd Lt Jeffery Brown
Team Schriever personnel must put the properly classified material into the correct shredder to maintain security levels and prevent classified informa-tion from leaking out. Schriever personnel are required to uphold a 100 percent shred policy.

Teamthe next one, regardless of a mem-ber’s rank or position. The airplane mechanic or Airman was just as important as the wing commander or colonel. Quite simply, everyone’s contributions mattered and were taken into account to ensure the mission’s success.
The answers to the challenges of our times can be found in team-work. Recently, all members were
reminded of the importance of re-siliency by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. It is your responsibility as a wingman to watch out for fel-low Airmen. Today’s Air Force faces budgetary challenges, a high opera-tions tempo and great change. Don’t wait for problems to arise; seek out opportunities to work with others to prevent them. Pay special atten-tion to Airmen struggling on their physical fitness assessment and of-fer some assistance. Be cognizant of potential economic hardships faced by those during the economic downturn. Watch out for others ex-
periencing tremendous stress or dif-ficult personal issues. It’s all about treating others as you would want to be treated.
The 50th Space Wing team boasts a long list of awards. It is a team of teams with first-class people. Being a great organization is never easy and requires its members to be strong. The American public expects a lot from its military members and Air Force. Meeting these high expecta-tions and fully enjoying the rewards, is best experienced as part of a team. There’s nothing quite like sharing a victory with fellow warriors.

Commentary by Tech. Sgt. Sarah Law50th Space Wing Safety Office
Spring has sprung and, for motorcycle riders, this is the time of year you have longed for all winter. With warm weather comes the desire to get on the open road and ex-perience the freedom and excitement that riding a motor-cycle brings to so many. At the same time, however, this also brings some risks that every rider must remember, in particular, riding a motorcycle that has been idle during the winter months.
First and foremost, before taking that first spring ride, remember to inspect your bike. A simple mental checklist to run is T-CLOCS:T — Tires and wheels — condition of rims and tires, air pressure, treadC — Controls — shifter, cables, lines/hoses, throttle, brake functionL — Lights — battery condition, head/brake/tail lights, turn signalsO — Oil — levels, leaksC — Chassis — frame, suspension, chain/belt, fastenersS — Stands — center and side stands
In addition to inspecting your bike, make sure you inspect your personal protective equipment. Make sure your helmet is not cracked or terribly scratched and check the condition of your gloves and riding goggles.
Next, make sure you take the time to freshen up your riding skills by sticking close to your neighborhood and avoiding highly congested areas until you are ready. Most riders will say that it is important to get a “feel” for your bike when you purchase a new one, the same holds true for those who go several months without riding the one you already own.
Consider the road conditions of your local community and your commute to work. During the winter months, many roads are covered with gravel to improve driving conditions through ice and snow. After the snow melts, gravel stays there until it is cleaned away by street sweepers or a nice rain. Before riding, make sure you are aware of your sur-roundings, especially in intersections. In addition, consider that nice roads you traversed before winter may not be in the same condition due to new pot holes, etc.
Finally, before you begin your riding season, make the pledge that you will always use proper risk management before every single trip. In addition to checking your bike, skills and road conditions, check yourself. Ask, “Do I need additional training, have I been drinking, have I had the proper amount of sleep, etc?” You are responsible for your own safety so make the right decisions. This fiscal year, the Air Force has had three members who have permanent disabilities and unfortunately, lost four motorcycle riders. The causes for these mishaps include excessive speed, lack of experience, lack of training and alcohol use. Do not let this be you.
At Schriever, many have already started riding their mo-
torcycles to work. As the weather gets even better and gas prices continue to go up, more and more riders will be out on the road. For those of us who drive four-wheeled vehicles and share the road with our motorcycle comrades, we have
to remember to take safety precautions ourselves, for our sake and theirs. Be aware of your surroundings. When going through an intersection, look left, right then both ways again. Motorcycle riders can be seen; you just have to look.

Child support grant aides service members
The State of Colorado recently received a fed-eral grant to assist service members with their child support and related issues. El Paso County Child Support Services is providing the assistance under the grant to either parent provided at least one of the parents is active-duty military. “Under the grant, child support issues, including pater-nity and parenting time, can be addressed before a service member is deployed, upon redeployment or if stationed locally in El Paso County,” says Gary Grambort, El Paso County Child Support Services Military Liaison. The grant allows for pre-deployment cases to be expedited so that the child support issues can be resolved before the service member is deployed. Grambort will be here Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. Anyone interested in speaking with Grambort in person about child support should contact the 50th Space Wing Legal Office at 567-5050. He will be able to assist service members and their families on the last Tuesday of each month. El Paso County Child Support Services may be reached by calling 719-457-6331or www.elpasocountycss.com.
