More than 150 Airmen from the21st Space Wing braved near freezingtemperatures to participate in the firstever Aerospace Expeditionary Forcetraining at Peterson Air Force Base-EastFriday.

The event was hosted by the 21stMission Support Group and each partic-ipant was tasked or on standby to deploylater this year.

“The whole intent of this exercisewas to prepare Airmen for their upcom-ing deployments,” said Col. DouglasHine, 21st MSG commander. “We don’tget enough weapons training so wedecided to focus on what our weapons

are all about and how to use them.”The exercise started with every

member, regardless of their Air ForceSpecialty Code, being issued an M-16with blank ammunition and a road marchout to Pete East. Training consisted ofentry control point operations, defensivefighting positions, anti-terrorism level I,weapons familiarization and patrollingtaught by subject matter experts from the21st Security Forces Squadron.

“The finale was a half-mile longcombat assault course,” said Master Sgt.Mark Dedrick, 21st SFS. “It was physi-cal and brought together the skills theyhad been taught during the day.”

“It was a very good exercise and awhole lot of fun,” said Airman 1st Class

Team Pete compassion blows away ’05 goal

$127,618

161% of Goal

Airmen endure cold weather, prove they are fit to deploy

By Tech. Sgt. Matt Gilreath 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

Peterson Air Force Base wrapped up its 2005Air Force Assistance drive April 10 and reported itsfinal numbers April 25.

During the 2004 drive, Peterson contributed$71,589 to the Air Force Aid Society. Peterson per-sonnel received $156,145 in direct assistance to sup-port several different programs including emergencyassistance, education and community enhancementprograms.

This year, Team Pete donated $127,618 and was61 percent above its goal of $79,448.

The Air Force charities personnel donated to arethe Air Force Aid Society, the Air Force VillageFoundation, the Air Force Enlisted Village and theGeneral and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation.

The goal each year is to contact 100 percent ofall active duty members so they may have the oppor-tunity to help their fellow servicemembers. Thisyear’s financial goal is to raise $5.4 million.

“I was very surprised with the base participa-tion,” said 1st Lt. Patrick Gonzalez, 21st ContractingSquadron contracting officer and Base AFAF officer.“It’s a way we can help each other out and help ourfellow Airmen.”

Lieutenant Gonzalez said each squadron,detachment and geographically separated unit tiedwith Peterson had key workers responsible for reach-ing out to people in their unit.

“The key workers were awesome; they all gotthe job done,” Lieutenant Gonzalez said. “I hope allof the commanders recognize their key workers forthe AFAF because they are the ones who made thissuch a success.”

Technical Sgt. Debbie Jewell, 21st ComptrollerSquadron budget analyst and key worker for the ’05AFAF drive said being a key worker was a wonderfulexperience.

“The experience was absolutely fantastic, themany hearts touched by the generous donations fromour Air Force family will continue to leave a mark aswe always do,” Sergeant Jewell said. “It wasn’t hardat all to approach members for donations. Most justheard AFAF and were asking where to sign.

“As a key worker, I heard firsthand how manylives are touched and what a difference this campaigndoes for so many that we work with day to day,” sheadded. “You never really know all someone hasgone through or what they are currently goingthrough.”

Sergeant Jewell said she volunteers because sheenjoys helping others and loves to know that she hasdone a small part to ensure others have a support sys-tem, shoulder and family to lean on.

With the ’05 AFAF drive complete, Team Petefar exceeded the goal requirement and servicemem-bers should be proud, knowing their contributionswill go a long way.

“It’s great to be part of a team that has madesuch a difference in so many lives and continues to,”Sergeant Jewell said.

I hope all of the commandersrecognize their key workers for theAFAF because they are the oneswho made this such a success.

A Moment in Time

Busted!Lieutenant Colonel John Coulahan, Air Force Space Command chiefof budget operations, identified a suspicious vehicle parked nextto Building 1 April 27. Security forces and anti-terrorism offices will beperforming scenarios around Peterson to increase awareness.

Josephine Duong, 21st SW command post controller.“I’ve never had training like this since I’ve been in theAir Force. The last time I can remember somethingsimilar to this was back in basic training.”

Major Paul Cairney, 21st SFS commander saidthe 21st SW plans to do a day of training every monthprior to deployments, capped off by a week long fieldexercise away from Peterson.

“It is the first phase of what will be standard forevery Airman who is projected to deploy,” MajorCairney said. “The purpose is to better prepare TeamPete Airmen for life and work in combat zones byteaching some essential ground combat skills.”

The major said Senior Master Sgt. RichardBruno, Master Sgts. Mark Dedrick and Robert Wilsonand Staff Sgt. Justin Kuhns took the lead to developthis first day.

“We used our past deployment experiences todevelop the program and to whittle it down from thebroad picture to immediate needs,” Sergeant Kuhnssaid. “We wanted it to be informative, but also inter-esting with as much hands-on work as possible.”

Major Cairney said 21st SFS had the lead on thisfirst one, but it was still a true team effort. It took a lotof hard work from 21st Civil Engineer Squadron, 21st

The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo is back home at the newlyacquired and named Norris-Penrose Event Center, formerly thePenrose Equestrian Center, after spending the previous three yearsat the World Arena.

“We’re really excited to be back outside and I thinkthe community will be too,” said Kevin Estrem, PPBR boardmember.

The rodeo happens to be the oldest annual charity eventin Colorado Springs going on its 65th year. All the proceedsfrom this event go exclusively to military charities.

“This is a great event for the military,” Estrem said.“This event gives us a chance to give back to the military forall the great work they do. Last year we were able to donate$30,000.”

The rodeo may be in its 65th year, but board membersalways try to keep it fresh and new by adding new eventsand attractions.

“This year it’s not just a rodeo, it’s an event,” Estremsaid. “We’ve added carnival rides, a recreational vehicle

parking lot and we’re trying to have a honky-tonk after party.”However, before the fun starts, a lot of work has to be done. “We rely heavily on the military volunteers,” he said.

“Volunteers have their hands in just about every aspect of theevent. They can help with parking, selling programs, maintain-ing the barns and stalls, concessions, set up, ushering and manyother things.

“More than 500 military members participated last year,racking up more than 2,800 volunteer hours,” Estrem said. “Ithink most of the people that volunteered last year will do thesame this year.”

Another member also expressed his sentiments towardthe volunteers. “It’s a great way to be involved in our commu-nities, meet great people, help those in need and have a greattime,” said Senior Master Sgt. John Conway, Space WarfareCenter first sergeant.

Servicemembers can volunteer by contacting their respec-tive unit representative.

The rodeo takes place July 13 to 17 with North AmericanAerospace Defense Command and Northern Command Night,

July 13 and Air Force Space Command Night, July 14.For information, visit www.coloradospringsrodeo.com.

New location, events in store for local charity event

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Through the good will andgenerosity of thousands of people with unused fre-quent flier miles and U.S. airlines, the Fisher HouseFoundation has given out nearly 3,000 free airlinetickets to war-wounded servicemembers and theirfamilies since the giveaway program started inJanuary 2004.

Through its partnership with the Operation HeroMiles program, Fisher House has given away morethan 100 million donated frequent flier miles to bringfamilies and loved ones to the bedsides of woundedcombatants, said Jim Weiskopf, Fisher House vicepresident for communications.

Operation Hero Miles was created to providefree round-trip tickets to the almost 500 servicemem-bers arriving each day from Iraq on rest and recupera-tion leave.

People eligible for free tickets fall into two cate-gories:

! Wounded servicemembers from Iraq andAfghanistan with an approved convalescent leave maybe given a free round-trip airline ticket for a trip fromthe military or Veterans Affairs medical center wherethey are being treated to their home and return if theyare not eligible for government-funded airfare.

! Qualifying servicemembers may be given freeround-trip tickets to allow their family or close friendsto visit them while they are being treated at the med-ical center.

Many fiances and fiancees take advantage of thedonated tickets because the government generallypays for up to three family members to visit very seri-ously injured troops, Mr. Weiskopf said.

Army Capt. Daniel MacArthur Gade and hisfamily were brought together at Walter Reed ArmyMedical Center here, according to a foundation flier.

Captain Gade was seriously injured in Iraq by animprovised explosive device, and his right leg wasamputated.

The Army could fly three relatives at governmentexpense to his bedside — his wife and his parents.Through its partnerships with major airlines, the foun-dation provided airline tickets for other members ofhis family, including his daughter, according to theflier.

“Fisher House Foundation is able to help theGade family and the families of hundreds of otherservicemen and women wounded or injured in Iraqor Afghanistan due to the generosity of airline pas-sengers who have donated their frequent flyer miles

Wounded troops, families receive free airline tickets

to help reunite fam-ilies,” the flier read. “Wetake over where the gov-ernment entitlements endand provide airline tick-ets to servicemembers andfamily members.”

Weiskopf credits Mary Jo Myers,wife of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff, Gen. Richard Myers, with being a catalyst forcreating the program.

“What Mrs. Myers envisioned is that the ser-vicemembers are young, so the parents are still work-ing and trying to be by their loved one’s bedside whiletrying to keep their jobs too,” Weiskopf said. “So a lotof them try to commute back and forth.”

One day in the fall of 2003, when Myers wastalking to family members of wounded servicemem-bers with her husband, she said she became con-cerned about family members being able to afford totravel back and forth from their loved ones’ bed-sides.

“I was talking to one dear mother” who was car-ing for four children and her own widowed mother athome, Mrs. Myers said. “She was there for the ampu-tation of her son’s leg, which was going to take placethe next day. Yet, she had to turn around and go rightback (home) because it was the beginning of theschool year, and she had children to support, and shewas a kindergarten teacher.”

Myers said she was touched by the woman’sstory about using the one trip that the government sup-plied.

“Her son was going to face long months of reha-bilitation, and her one trip was used up,” she said.

“About the same time, there was a young Soldierfrom Micronesia who lost three limbs,” Mrs. Myerssaid. “His father was with him, and his mother even-tually came. But his father was here with him for morethan a year. He couldn’t go back and forth.

“I just thought, ‘Oh, my goodness — familymembers trying to come from Micronesia to supportthese young men and women when they face monthsand months of rehabilitation and often 20 or 30 sur-geries,’” she said.

Myers said it was coincidental that when shestarted talking to people about her concerns, many

said they had been talking to MaryWinkenwerder about the same thing.

Winkenwerder is the wife of Dr. WilliamWinkenwerder, Department of Defense’s assistant sec-retary of defense for health affairs.

“She had been visiting patients like I had and hadcome to the same conclusion,” Mrs. Myers said. “Sowe started off talking with (a congressman) becausethat’s when Congress had accumulated a lot of airmiles for the active duty to go on.”

Myers said the free air miles program can be “alifesaver.” She has found that many families she asksdo not know about the program.

Myers said she has heard many poignant storiesabout families being separated by distance, particular-ly when wives travel to be at a husband’s side, leavingchildren at home in the care of relatives.

“Children always have issues, whether they bepreschoolers or teenagers, and they need mom too.And she’s really torn,” Mrs. Myers said. “At least thisallows her some of the travel back and forth to keepthe injured military member’s spirits up and to see dif-ferent family members and friends.”

Request for tickets have to originate from theservicemember and forwarded to the foundation by ahospital’s social work staff, family assistance center orservice casualty office.

“All we want to know is the reason for the hospi-talization, and we don’t make any distinction whetherit was combat related, training accident or sportsinjury if they’re hospitalized (because of) service inIraq or Afghanistan,” Weiskopf said.

Request forms are available on the foundation’sWeb site. A case manager or other official from thepatient’s medical facility must validate the requestform.

ShopliftingA base exchange detective

detained a family member for attempt-ing to shoplift a bottle of cough sup-pressant valued at $5.25. Security forcesarrived on the scene and then transport-ed the suspect to the security forces con-trol center. The Colorado Springs PoliceDepartment was contacted and dis-patched an officer to the control center.The family member was issued a tem-porary suspension of identification cardand BX privileges from security forces.The family member was issued a sum-mons for shoplifting by the CSPD.

A family member was detained bya BX detective after trying to steal aring valued at $4.97. Security forces andthe CSPD were contacted. The familymember was transported to the controlcenter where she was issued a summonsfor shoplifting from the CSPD officer.People should remember that shoppingat the BX is a privilege, not a right.Shoplifting from the BX effects theamount of total sales and funds donatedto support Peterson Air Force Base fam-ilies.

Gate runnersIn two separate incidents, person-

nel entered Peterson AFB without show-ing identification. A civilian told securi-ty forces she was use to entering FortCarson where she did not have to showher identification and did not know shehad to show her ID at Peterson beforeentering the base.

The second offender misunder-stood the actions of the gate guard andbelieved he was being waved throughand it was okay to enter the base.Drivers need to be aware of the entryprocedures to military installations andpay attention to the signs stating whatforce protection condition the installa-tion is in and how many forms of ID areneeded to enter.

Hit and runA servicemember contacted secu-

rity forces stating that her vehicle hadbeen hit while parked in the Patriot Hallparking lot. The investigation revealedextensive damage to the vehicle on thedriver’s side of the vehicle. The damagecauses difficulty with opening and clos-ing the driver’s side door and the hood.

There were no witnesses or suspects tothis accident at this time. Drivers onPeterson need to be aware of their sur-roundings, especially in parking lots.Driving on base is a privilege that canbe taken away for hit and run violations.Servicemembers should exercise AirForce core value number one wheninvolved in an accident when nobody isaround, “Integrity First.”

Alarm activationsIn eight separate incidents, securi-

ty forces promptly responded to activat-ed alarms. Their investigations into thecause revealed human error to be thecause in all incidents. This is a continu-ing problem. Occupants of buildingswith alarm systems must pay strictattention to procedures when enteringtheir building.

Answers to puzzle on page 8

By Tech. Sgt. Devin FisherNORAD Public Affairs

The 6th Space Warning Squadron was honoredApril 28 as the 2004 North American AerospaceDefense Command most outstanding unit for its sup-port of the common defense and partnership in pro-tecting the U.S. and Canadian homelands.

NORAD commander Adm. Timothy J. Keatingpresented the Cape Cod Air Force Station, Mass., unitwith the Partridge-Slemon Award for “exceptional mer-itorious service” during the NORAD Commanders’Conference held at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo.

Keating said the 6th SWS should be proud of itsaccomplishments.

“It’s unusual for an organization like the 6thSWS – an organization out there by themselves inCape Cod – to jump into the forefront” and receive thePartridge-Slemon Award, said Keating. “This is asmall thanks for the critical mission you provide … weare counting on you for continued great service.”

The Partridge-Slemon Award was named inhonor of the first commander and deputy commanderof NORAD – Gen. Earle E. Partridge and CanadianAir Marshall C. Roy Slemon. It is presented annuallyto recognize the outstanding directorate, region, sec-tor, Air Force Space Command warning unit or othercontributing unit in support of the NORAD airdefense mission.

In its citation, NORAD praised the 6th SWS forits “flawless execution of United States StrategicCommand’s number one mission priority” – missilewarning. The unit conducted 1,095 alerts on the EastCoast’s only radar capable of detecting ballistic mis-sile attacks and reported more than 8,500 missions onAir Force Space Command’s highest priority – lowearth-orbiting satellites.

6th Space Warning Squadron captures NORAD award

“It’s a tremendous honor to receive this awardtoday,” said Lt. Col. Nina Armagno, who served as the6th SWS commander from June 2003 until December2004 and is now the 21st Space Wing OperationsGroup deputy commander at Peterson.

Col. Armagno quickly noted that the award wasa result of the combined effort, hard work and dedica-tion of the 140 Air Force military, civilian, defensecontractor, and three Canadian military personnelassigned to the 6th SWS.

“The men and women of 6 SWS truly do operatein a bi-national manner,” she said. “Our Canadianmembers are fully integrated, critical members of theteam … without whom we could not perform the mis-sion day-to-day.”

She noted two-thirds of their Canadian Forces

personnel directed the 6th SWS Exercise ControlTeam which were directly responsible for the unitreceiving the highest operations rating during itsOperational Readiness Inspection.

“I am so very proud of Team 6’s accomplish-ments and am humbled to accept this prestigiousaward on their behalf.”

The 6th SWS guards the U.S. East Coast againstsea-launched and intercontinental ballistic missiles.The geographically separated unit of the 21st SpaceWing, Peterson AFB, is responsible for detecting sea-launched or intercontinental ballistic missiles, anddetermining the potential number and the probabledestination. The 6th SWS reports detection informa-tion to NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain Air ForceStation, Colo.; U.S. Strategic Command at OffuttAFB, Neb.; and the National Command Authorities.

People who like to shop or sightsee in Denverbut don’t like to drive there now have anotherchoice — at least Monday through Friday. It’s alsoa great gas saver.

Thanks to FrontRange Express — called FREX— a commuter bus runs from Fountain’s Park andRide, Tejon Street Park and Ride and Woodmen Park

and Ride to Monument, Castle Rockand several stops in Denver. The fareis reasonable; $6 each way. Fares areless if riders choose to ride only partof the trip, such as to Castle Rock,when the fare is $4. The Castle Rockstop is conveniently close to theOutlet Mall’s food court.

FREX makes several stops in Denver. The buspasses such sightseeing spots as the state capitol,Civic Center Park, Colorado History Museum,Denver Art Museum and the 16th Street Mall.FREX’s last Denver stop is in the shadow of SixFlags Elitch Gardens, at the entrance to CentennialGardens, Commons Park and Riverfront Park. Thebus stop, Little Raven, is within walking distance ofthe Pepsi Center, and across the Platte River fromDenver’s Colorado Ocean Journey and the antiquePlatte Valley Trolley ride.

FREX leaves from Fountain Park and Ride fourtimes during the early morning. The first bus leaves at4:55 a.m., followed by 5:25, 5:55 and 6:55 a.m.departures. There’s another departure at 5 p.m.Returning buses reach the Fountain stop at 5, 6:25,

Tejon Street Park and Ride, under Interstate 25 — take Exit140 off I-25. Departures from the Tejon site begin at 5:15a.m. There are 10 departures from this FREX stop,although some of the buses go only as far as Monument.

Although the intended purpose of FREX is to transportcommuters, thus aiding congestion and air quality, other ridersare welcome to use FREX. Children under 6 years of age ridefree with a paying adult.

The FREX schedule and information about Denver stops are available at 636-3739 or on theInternet at www.FrontRangeExpress.com. A schedule is shown at right.

Riders must have correct change to pay their fare whenboarding FREX or a ticket that can be purchased at the SpringsTransit terminal downtown or at Safeway, Albertson’s or KingSoopers grocery stores.

Accommodations are standard for cross-country tourist-type buses: seats are high-backed and adjustable. There isoverhead storage and lighting.

Riders must be able to store strollers, belongings or shop-ping bags at their seat or in overhead storage.

Although FREX offers convenient access to Denver withseveral stops, passengers can connect with Denver’s publictransportation system to reach other Denver sites. Denverhas light rail and buses; check the Web site at www.thelinkbus.com forinformation. Beginning at the Arapahoe stop, FREX only discharges pas-sengers and will not pick up oncoming passengers until the bus starts itsreturn trip from Elitch Gardens. Once in Denver, the bus driver willallow passengers on the northbound trip to depart the bus at any RTDstop, when requested, in addition to the scheduled stops. The southboundreturn bus stops only at marked FREX stops.

Denver’s SkyRideleaves the Arapahoe Parkand Ride 10 times perday. The 50-minute rideto Denver InternationalAirport costs $10; moreinformation aboutSkyRide is at www.rtd-denver.com or (303) 399-6000. Riders using publictransportation to DIAshould allow enough time

for the FREX and SkyRide trips, finding the departure gate and goingthrough DIA security.

FREX is a three-year project that is partnered by the City of ColoradoSprings, Pikes Peak Council Area of Governments, the Federal TransitAdministration, the town of Castle Rock and Colorado Springs Transit.

Cars may be parked free at any of the Park and Rides where FREX stops.FREX riders Friday included commuters, passengers going to Denver

for a bridal tea and wedding, a woman taking her granddaughter home, stu-dents on a field trip, shoppers and several people taking buses or taxis toreach other Denver area destinations.
