50th Space Wing Public Affairs
For her third go-round at Schriever Air Force Base, Col. DeAnna M. Burt, 50th Space Wing commander, wants to give the arid climate around the base a more tropical feel. Hawaiian shirts, maybe a luau or two and Schriever’s version of the popular series “Hawaii 5-0,” will be common themes as the 50th Space Wing was rechristened Team 5-0 during Burt’s first commander’s call at the fitness center June 1.
“Team 5-0 unites us,” Burt said. “We have to be rallied as a wing in what we do day in and day out. We need an identity and we need some-thing to rally around.”
The Team 5-0 rallying cry was just one of the things Burt touched on dur-ing her first commander’s call since taking command of the wing from Col. Bill Liquori May 29. In addition to her affinity for flowered shirts, Burt also shared some of her background.

Commentary by Master Sgt. Henry D. Strozier
92nd Security Forces Squadron
FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. There are two distinct types of Airmen who serve: those who are here to make a difference (MAD) and those who are selfish and dis-tracting (SAD). Each of us was equipped to be MAD once we graduated initial military training and our various technical training schools; we had the basic skills in our respec-tive career fields to be successful Airmen. We were ready to take on any challenge placed before us. Unfortunately, many of us can think of someone who didn’t make it to their first duty station for committing one or more selfish acts. I call those individuals SAD Airmen. Unfortunately, SAD Airmen can be found in any stage of an individual’s military career.
SAD Airmen distract us from our daily Air Force mission. They distract us from taking care of the other 90 percent of Airmen and their families. They diminish our resources and steal our joy. As a first sergeant, I’ve heard it said many times from various Airmen, “Why are we getting the same briefing again and again? Deal with those who get in trouble and let us go our merry way.” Yes, that would be easy to do until the next safety violation, alcohol-related incident, domestic distur-bance or sexual assault takes place. Many times, I’ve also heard, “First Sergeant, he is a good guy, a true Wingman, our best techni-cian. He just made a mistake.” Let’s be clear: there is a huge difference in making a mistake
and committing a crime. More often, SAD Airmen already know their poor judgment or criminal activity could lead to disciplinary actions. Furthermore, I would venture to say the majority of SAD Airmen once thought, “That will never happen to me.”
So, what makes great Airmen become SAD? For different reasons, they lost sight of the reason why they joined the Air Force. They lost that great sense of pride, belong-ing, and accomplishment they had when they walked across the parade ground. Their lapse in judgment caused them to forget they are Airmen at all times, not just during duty hours. They lost sight of our basic Air Force Core Values: Integrity first, Service before self, and Excellence in all we do. Yes, most of them can recite the Core Values without hesitation, but the importance of these values did not resonate enough for
them to uphold military standards. Time and time again, we look at supervisors as the root cause of SAD Airmen. However, just as each of us independently raised our hand as we recited our oath of enlistment, we must take personal responsibility for our own actions.
Let’s reflect on what it means to be a MAD Airman. You took an oath to protect and defend our American freedom and agreed to live by a set of military rules and stan-dards. You are part of a great brotherhood that has stood the test of time from MAD Airmen like Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, the first Air Force Chief of Staff, and Chief Master Sgt. Paul Airy, the first Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force, to Senior Airman Dustin Temple, who recently received the Air Force Cross Award for valor while saving 38 lives during a battle in Afghanistan in 2014. MAD Airmen embody our Core Values and live by our Airman’s Creed. They have respect for authority, themselves and others at all times. MAD Airmen fully embrace our higher standards 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. MAD Airmen understand that being a Wingman is more than a cliché. MAD Airmen do not accept the minimum, but strive for the best at all times. MAD Airmen are always looking for ways to improve themselves, their families, friend-ships, work centers and local communities. MAD Airmen choose to be MAD Airmen at all times!
So I ask you, “Are you MAD or SAD?”
Are you MAD or SAD?
You took an oath to protect and defend
our American freedom and agreed to live by a set of military rules
and standards.

For some it’s about competition, for others it’s an adrenaline rush, but for Derek Hamby, bicycling is about passion.
Hamby, an avid bicyclist and Manpower and Organization chief at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, has been riding for close to 20 years and competed in multiple bike races, including last year’s 100-mile Leadville Trail race.
“I will never be that person winning the race — I do it to challenge myself and get better,” said Hamby. “To me, bicycling is about memories; it’s just time with friends.”
Which is why each year Hamby plans a bicycling trip with a close group of friends who share the same passion for riding. However, last year’s trip to Anniston, Alabama would forge memo-ries some wouldn’t want to remember.
“It was our second ride of the day and we were just going downhill, nothing really fast, but I had a head cold and a hamstring injury,” said Hamby. “It was a bad cold — I really shouldn’t have been riding because I just couldn’t react.”
The trail the group had decided to ride was rated green by the International Mountain Bicycling Association, mean-ing the difficulty rating was “easy.” During his ride, Hamby hit what would normally be a small bump to an expe-rienced rider, but this time it proved to be life-altering.
“All I remember is I was riding a nose wheelie and I thought ‘I need to save this’ and I don’t remember what hap-pened after that,” said Hamby.
Hamby lost control of his bike, was thrown over the handlebars and crashed face-first into a rock.
“I remember waking up and my friend he... I don’t know what he did, but I know I laid there for two hours waiting for rescue,” said Hamby.
Upon arrival at the local hospital, a breathing tube was inserted and Hamby was medevaced from Anniston to a larger medical center in Montgomery, Alabama. There, he was placed in a medically-induced coma for three days due to a collapsed trachea.
“I ended up breaking my nose, shat-
tering my jaw completely, I lost my teeth, part of my [chin] bone completely came out, I tore my lip off, broke my C7 and T1 [vertebrae] in my back, broke my collar bone and cracked a rib,” said Hamby. “I also had severe tongue lacerations to where they had to sew my tongue back together — I’ve lost all feeling in my tongue and my chin.”
News of the accident travelled quick-ly back to Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.
“As a commander, you never want to hear about one of your members be-ing hurt or injured,” said Maj. Justin Long, 50th Force Support Squadron commander. “When I was notified of Mr. Hamby’s accident, I couldn’t believe how quickly the entire 50 FSS and other members of team Schriever rallied to-gether to support him.”
There were many touch-and-go mo-ments while Hamby was recovering in the hospital, and he began to question whether he would ever ride again. It was during a visit from a friend that Hamby decided to persevere and overcome the injuries he had sustained.
With the support of his friends and Air Force family, Hamby was released after 14 days in the hospital — nine of which in the ICU.
Due to the extent of his injuries, he has undergone reconstructive surgery on his jaw and will eventually need bone grafts in order to fully repair his chin.
“When I looked at my Garmin a month later, I was going 20.4 mph... so apparently that’s the face-breaking speed,” said Hamby. “I was actually go-ing slower than I would normally go because I didn’t feel comfortable and be-cause I didn’t want to break my friend’s

Chief’s CornerHigh Road
By Chief Master Sgt. Rodney Deese50th Network Operations Group
We have all been exposed to Air Force Professional Military Education, and one area that is consistently taught throughout all forms of PME is conflict management. How we manage conflict says a lot about the type of professional Airmen we are and our character. One fundamental truth is that if we don’t manage conflict, it will manage us and interfere with not only interpersonal relationships but could severely hamper mission accomplishment if it creates hostile work environments. Because conflict will always exist, we would do well to continuously take inventory of our methods and approach.
John Maxwell, world renowned author and leadership guru, in his award winning series, “Winning with People” coined the “High Road” principle, which asserts that we go to a higher level when we treat others better than they treat us. Notice it does not say, treat others the way you want to be treated; on the contrary, we are to treat others better than they treat us. We have one of three roads to take: we can take the low road and treat others worse than they treat us, the middle road where we treat others the same as they treat us or the high road. The high road helps create positive relationships and attracts others to us while setting a positive agenda that even negative people find difficult
to undermine. David Brinkley said, “A successful man is one who can lay a foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” Without question, this high road is the road less travelled as it requires thinking and acting in ways that are not natural or common. “High roaders” have several things in common:1. They understand it’s not what happens to you but what happens in you that
really matters.2. They commit themselves to traveling the high road continually.3. They see their own need for grace and therefore, they extend it to others.4. They are not victims — they choose to serve others.5. They set higher standards for themselves than others would.6. They bring out the best in others and themselves.
Making it our practice to always treat others the best we can affects the way we see the world. Philosopher and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “Treat people as though they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.” As mentioned earlier, the high road is not the easiest road to travel, but it is the only one that leads to the highest level of living and service.
Last week’s question and answer: Although origi-nally known as Decoration Day and observed on various dates during and following the U.S. Civil War, Memorial Day became an official federal holiday in what year? The holiday was renamed Memorial Day by federal law in 1967. On June 28, 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved Memorial Day from May 30 to the last Monday in May. The act
made Memorial Day a federal holiday effective in 1971.This week’s question: On June 20, 1974, the Air Force
awarded a contract to Rockwell International for the production of three development satellites for which system?

bike...which I did.”Although Hamby’s injuries were severe,
he was wearing a helmet and other per-sonal protective equipment at the time of his accident, which ultimately saved his life.
“The doctor said without a doubt, if I wasn’t wearing [my helmet] there is no question — I wouldn’t be here today,” said Hamby.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “A helmet is the single most effective way to pre-vent head injury resulting from a bicycle crash.”
“A helmet is such a simple and inexpen-sive piece of PPE that can save your life,” said Hamby. “For those who don’t think they need to wear a helmet, it is their choice to take the risk, but remember, whether you like it or not, you’re a role
model to your kids and others.”“I am so thankful that Mr. Hamby was
wearing his personal protective equip-ment the day of his accident,” said Long. “I am certain the injuries would have been a lot worse had he not been wearing his personal protective equipment.”
As a Department of the Air Force employee, Hamby has been exposed to numerous safety messages and briefings which he says have influenced the safety precautions and decisions he makes be-fore each ride.
“From a safety aspect, I did a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong that day,” said Hamby. “What I did right was I had friends with me in case there was an injury, I wore the proper PPE — helmet, glasses and gloves, but I shouldn’t have been riding at all that day because of how I felt, my hamstring, the cold and I was on someone else’s bike that I wasn’t used to.”
The 50th Space Wing Safety Office recommends always wearing PPE while riding off the installation and reminds us all that when bicycle riding on base,
PPE is required.“On the installation you have to wear a
helmet and a reflective vest and on your bike you have to have a light on the front and a reflector on the back, but we highly encourage riders to use the same precau-tion off the installation,” said Tech. Sgt. Alejandro Torres, 50 SW ground safety manager.
“I want people to realize that no matter what the extent of my injuries were, I’m alive, and that wouldn’t be the case if I didn’t wear my helmet and glasses,” said Hamby. “No matter what you do in life, a small amount of risk is inevitable, but this [accident] shows more than anything how important safety really is.”
Hamby has since resumed bicycling and can regularly be seen riding around the installation during his lunch hours.
“My biggest achievement was get-ting back on my bike and doing my first mountain bike ride four months after my accident,” said Hamby. “This may sound cliché, but if it wasn’t for the wingman concept that is stressed in the Air Force, I couldn’t have gotten released from the
hospital in 14 days, finished my rehab and be where I am today.”
Since the accident, Hamby has invested in even more safety equipment, including a spot tracker. A spot tracker utilizes GPS and commercial satellites to track your location and provides a way to reach help if injured or stranded.
“I made a decision [in the hospital] that I would work hard to persevere with the goal of not only finishing rehab but also racing Leadville again in 2015,” Hamby said.
According to the Leadville race series website, the Leadville race “was created for only the most determined athletes [and expands] 100 miles across the high-altitude, extreme terrain of the Colorado Rockies.”
“As I said before, many may think being a wingman is cliché and wearing proper PPE isn’t necessary, but I would stress both are imperative,” said Hamby. “I wouldn’t be here without them.”

Airmen of this Wing, you are the very best at what you do, you make it look easy and we all know it is not.”
Prior to relinquishing command, Liquori addressed his fellow lead-ers, wing members and community partners.
“I have nothing to say today but thank you,” said Liquori. “It was a privilege to lead a wing of this size and importance. You (Team Schriever) are going to go higher, farther and faster than you already have. You’re in great hands.”
Burt returns to Schriever, leaving her post at Air Force Space Command as Director of the Commander’s Action
Group. Burt was previously assigned to the installation as the 2nd Space Operations Squadron commander and has commanded at the flight and group levels along the Front Range.
“It is an honor and a privilege to be selected as the 50th Space Wing Commander and I am humbled by the opportunity,” said Burt. “This is my third assignment to Schriever Air Force Base, so it feels like I’m coming home.”
As wing commander, Burt will be responsible for more than 4,200 mili-tary, Department of Defense civilians and contractor personnel serving at 14 operating locations worldwide and operating 69 surveillance, navigation and timing, space situational awareness and communication satellites valued at more than $66 billion. The wing’s Air Force Satellite Control Network supports a total of 175 satellites from multiple government agencies. Burt will
also serve as the installation command-er hosting approximately 20 mission partners whose combined economic impact is approximately $1 billion.
“The 50th Space Wing’s Airmen work shoulder-to-shoulder with the 310th Space Wing and are at the heart of our space warfighting capability operating 69 payloads providing game-changing effects to warfighters around the globe,” said Burt. “Space operations are a to-tal force endeavor and we are proud to have such a close relationship with our Reserve partners. Together we will con-tinue to advance space capabilities to improve warfighting operations, while denying our potential adversaries the same.”
After two years in command here, Liquori is transitioning to his new post as the Senior Military Assistant to the Under Secretary of the Air Force in Washington D.C.

In the famous words of Yoda, “Do or do not. There is no try.” The 19th Space Operations Squadron Gator crew, a reserve component here, did exactly that during this year’s 50th Operations Group fourth RED FALCON competition last month at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.
RED FALCON is a 50 OG competition designed to inspire 50th Space Wing crews to think outside of the box. The box of a checklist that is. This year’s theme was “Star Wars,” fitting for a wing that operates nearly all things space.
Crews are vectored from each squadron with a complex knowledge test where they are forced to troubleshoot and formulate non-routine answers to issues they could potentially face such as anomalies or emer-gency situations. Then the best crews par-ticipate in a month-long training program where they receive intelligence briefings and potential threats to their respective systems. The culminating event is a day-long evalu-ation where crews are critiqued on mission planning, communication and their response under extreme stress.
“We’re trying to get them to think outside the box,” said Capt. Peter Lusk, 4th Space Operations Squadron senior evaluator and RED FALCON organizer. “Crews develop new ways to solve old problems. We’re also trying to stress them and identify break-ing points in an operating system and learn from them.”
This year the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 19th (Reserve) and 148th (Air National Guard) Space Operations Squadrons all participated and competed against each other. 2 and 19 SOPS, a.k.a. Team Black Jack who both co-operate the GPS satellite constellation, com-peted against each other. 19 SOPS came out with the upper hand.
“We’re training the crews to think criti-cally,” said Capt. John Adams, 50 OG evalua-tions branch chief. “In a real world scenario, our guard and reserve components would be working together with the squadrons. And in fact, the reserve component won.”
According to Lusk, the competition was very close this year.
“The reason why the 19 SOPS crew won was because they excelled in communica-tion,” Lusk said. “Their mission commander was really good about keeping everyone on the same page. Sometimes when crews get
multiple status inputs they branch off, but Gator crew was very experienced and worked very well together.”
The competition took five months of planning and coordination to maximize results. The lessons learned are shared and implemented across the different operations squadrons. That makes this competition instrumental and invaluable to the space community.
“It’s a really good experience for the crews, as frustrating and demanding as it may be,”
said Lusk. “It’s also good for the squadron because after the fact they are able to identify action items that improve operations.”
The 50 OG plans to increase the size of future RED FALCON competitions to incor-porate and integrate more mission partners and mimic the scenarios to better represent adversarial threats.
First Lt. Jeremy Wright, 3 SOPS se-nior evaluator, evaluated this year’s RED FALCON competition and will be planning next year’s competition.
“The competition is blossoming with more rigorous and realistic scenarios,” said Wright. “Crews need to train to operate in contested, degraded and operationally lim-ited environments. It’s important with the way we not only fight wars but with the way we live our lives.”
Wright said crews in the future will be able to meet the challenges they face because they were proactive not reactive.
He said one day crews will be able to say, “We’re prepared because we trained for it.”

Heavy rains and flooding during the month of May have forced members of the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron to work overtime in order to maintain perimeter security and keep base roads clear of water.
“We’ve pulled roughly 1,500 tons of sand and debris out of the south perimeter drain to date,” said Tech. Sgt. George Moore, 50 CES Non-commissioned officer in charge pave-ments and equipment shop.
Most of that debris was a result of the severe storms in the area from May 8 to May 10. The storms produced large amounts of rain, hail, lightning and even a tornado warning on Schriever Air Force Base.
Moore said he was initially called in at 1:30 a.m. May 8 to clear the roundabout in front of the fitness center. He spent the next 13 hours alternating between clearing the water off the road and clearing debris from the fence.
“The rain was coming and going, storms were rolling in constantly,” he said. “Every time the rain would let up enough that we could get out there and clear [the water], we’d clear what we could clear.”
In total, 14 members of CE, affectionately known as “dirt boys,” were working on flood issues full-time during that weekend, including four members of the vertical shop who had to cut grating on drains in order to allow water flow, Moore said. Additionally, the CE section chief, Lt. Col. Nathan Clemmer, 50 CES commander and Col. Brian Barthel, 50th Mission Support Group commander, were also on site throughout the weekend.
“Everybody was soaking wet, in mud up to their knees, it was just a miserable day but everybody was out there,” Moore said. “Everybody in CE played their part.”
According to Clemmer, members of the heavy equipment, structures and electrical shops put in a combined 268 man hours during the weekend. As a result of the May 8 to May 10 storms, CE responded to seven emergencies, repaired the security grating on two large culverts on the south perimeter and used 100 tons of material to fill washouts.
Moore said the biggest challenge was trying to maintain the integrity of the south perimeter fence in a way that was
safe for the team. Even though the team was trying to work between the storms, people in the drainage ditches had to keep an eye out for water flow so they wouldn’t get caught in a flash flood.
“We did catch some windows where we had no rain and we had the ditches dry so the guys would go in and work what they could,” Moore said. “If the water started com-ing, they got out of there. If you get caught up in [a flash flood] you might end up in New Mexico or Kansas. My No. 1 concern was the guys working; I didn’t want them to be
put in harm’s way.”Another safety concern came in the form of a tornado
warning. The warning was issued at approximately 3:30 p.m. May 9, forcing those working to quickly take shelter. A small tornado touched down south of the base, but dis-sipated without reaching Schriever.

Members of the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron pull debris away from the perimeter fence during a rash of severe storms May 9, 2015 at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo. The group worked around-the-clock and had to weather rain, hail, lightning and a tornado warning in order to keep the fence intact.

A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Burt’s fam-ily moved to Jacksonville, Florida, when she was in sixth grade, which she said explains why her choice of college sports teams is a bit dysfunctional. She’s a Gator (University of Florida) fan during the fall and a Cardinal (University of Louisville) fan in the winter. In her free time, Burt also enjoys running, traveling and spending time with her family.
Burt went on to explain the Air Force core values form the bedrock of what the wing does. She stressed that she’s willing to work with members on issues, provided they re-main honest with her.
“If you’re telling me the truth, I can help you with anything and we can work it out together,” she said. “If you lie to me, I’m off your team. The things you do day in and day out keep people from dying down range and help us win wars. If I can’t trust you to tell me the truth, how can I trust you with that valuable mission?”
In addition to striving for integrity, service and excellence, Burt said she’s also looking for leaders and innovators to emerge now that the U.S. has begun the drawdown in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Our inter-war years are when the leaders
and innovators really emerge,” Burt said. “We’re starting to drawdown and you have all been part of it and seen it. But what is the good part of that? There’s an opportunity to really change and innovate our Air Force and our wing. You’ve got your good ideas; get them out because I’m ready to hear them.”
In order to facilitate and encourage Airmen to come up with new ideas, Burt said she wants to emphasize transparency from base leadership. She said she wants base leaders, including herself, to follow-up with people who bring ideas that can help the wing do things better and smarter and explain why those ideas were or were not approved.
“I think your leadership team has been [pushing ideas], but we have not been com-municating back to you the successes or fail-ures and what happened,” Burt said. “I’m going to work hard to be more transparent with all of you so you know what’s going on.”
One way Burt thinks Schriever can im-prove is to strengthen the relationship be-tween 50 SW and the 310th Space Wing to form a singular Schriever identity, or Team 360. She said one way could be to better uti-lize members of the 310 SW as the 50 SW becomes the first wing in AFSPC to transi-tion to the Space Mission Force construct.
“I think one of the biggest failures we have as a regular Air Force is we try to force fit square pegs into round holes with the re-serves,” she said. “They are a huge resource that we are failing to use properly. I think you have good relationships in certain units, but I think there’s a lot of room to grow.”
Finally, Burt stressed that she, as well as the 50th Mission Support Group, is continuing to find ways to improve the quality of life on base. She said things have come a long way since she was last stationed here in 2010, but there is still work to be done and asked that Team 5-0 continue to bring ideas and be patient while those ideas are implemented.
“Trust me when I say the team is working hard,” she said. “I have heard you. If you have ideas that would make [Schriever] better, [flow] them up to your leadership and we’ll make it happen.”

debris twice in the last 18 months, did not fail. Because of the continued flooding issues, the 50th Space Wing has asked the Army Corps of Engineers to help find a long-term solution.
“The wing has funded a project for the Army Corps of Engineers to study and de-sign a long-term fix for the southern area of the base,” said Robert Blevins, chief of engineering flight.
Clemmer said the previous failures of the fence have cost more than $200,000 to repair.
Moore said in addition to the fence, the flooding exposed two duct banks near the west gravel parking lot. His team put in an emergency work order to fill around those ducts in order to maintain power and com-munications to the base.
“We had an emergency work order ex-ecuted in about three hours that consisted of renting an excavator, ordering 100 tons of base course, 100 tons of rip rap and 105 yards of concrete,” Moore said.
He said the work order was put in on a Thursday and by 5:30 p.m. Friday evening, the work was complete.
Moore said he continues to send people out to the drainage ditches to continue pulling debris out in case another round of severe storms rolls through. The continued efforts at flood mitigation have put some of the day-to-day issues on the back burner, but Moore hopes Schriever members will continue to be patient while they get caught up.
“Just about everyone on base has a drainage or erosion issue and we’re prioritizing them, getting to what we can, when we can,” he said. “The thing with us right now is we’re kind of on hold with some of our work be-cause everything is so saturated. Our guys are working hard and diligently and everybody’s got to bear with us.”
