Use time wiselyBy Col. Stephen D. Goeman445th Airlift Wing Commander

“Be careful how you walk, notas unwise men, but as wise,making the most of your time.” –Ephesians 5:16

As I write this the world isstill shocked over the loss of oneof the most popular musicians ofall time, Michael Jackson. Thecoverage of his funeral has beenone of the most media intensiveevents in recent history. Whenhe passed away, MichaelJackson was 50 years old. In myyouth, I considered a person ofsuch age as old. Now that I amonly a few years away fromreaching “the half-century mark”myself the thought of death atthat age strikes me aspremature, with so much leftunfinished.

Reflecting on such an eventchallenges my status quo andreminds me again of theseriousness of life and death.What impact will I leave on thosearound me and how will I beremembered by those close tome? How do I use my time? Do Ispend it wisely or do I letopportunities slip by? Our timeon earth is not unlimited andthere is no guarantee we willlive 50 years, 20 years or evenone more day.

How are you using your time?My prayer for the 445th is thatall of you will spend time eachday reflecting on what isimportant in life. Do not allowthe urgent to take precedenceover the important. Spend timewith the people closest to you.Nurture your spiritual life andexamine your relationship withGod.

I bid the 445th farewell as Iwill be moving to the 917th atBarksdale beginning inSeptember. My time here hasbeen most fruitful and I willalways treasure the people of the445th. I pray that God willcontinue to bless this unit.

I’m very proudto see how themajority of ourAirmen haveembraced the AirForce FitnessProgram and haveimproved theirhealth and generalwell being. However we still have along way to go for others.

The bottom line is we are allrequired to maintain as aminimum the standards defined bythe Air Force program. These areminimum standards and how youget there falls upon eachindividual. Your unit commanderand first sergeant are there toprovide assistance but theresponsibility to do so is yours.

If you are not presently on sometype of physical exercise program, Iwould highly encourage you to seeyour civilian health care providerand get their approval and guidanceon what type of program is bestsuited for you. Do not start anyprogram until you have seen amedical professional first!

There are many programsoffered on base that are open toreservists and DOD civilianemployees that you may beinterested in. Our Air ReserveTechnicians and civilian workforce have the opportunity toparticipate in programs and spendup to 3 hours weekly while on dutyin some type of physical fitnessactivity. For these individuals youneed written approval from a healthcare provider and your supervisor’sapproval to take advantage of theprogram.

Our unit commanders areencouraged to make time availableduring unit training assemblies

What’s your fitness status?(UTAs) to conduct some type ofphysical fitness activity for theirAirmen in addition to the yearlyfitness evaluation. These eventsare great avenues for buildingmorale and offer us all a chance toget out there and burn off some ofthose unwanted calories. Again,make sure you have the approvalof a health care professional andare not on any type of medicalprofile before venturing out.

In January of 2010, the AirForce program is expected to bemodified. Expect more emphasison the aerobics portion of theevaluation and a little less on thewaist measurement. The existingcategories will remain in place butyou will be required to pass in allcategories you are medicallyqualified to complete.

Airmen who do not maintainstandards are not eligible forpromotion. Attendance at formalschools is prohibited; deploymentopportunities are limited; andmost importantly your generalhealth and well being is at risk. Iexpect each of us to know ourcurrent fitness score and whenthe next evaluation is due. If youlog on to the Air Force Portal andopen the Air Force FitnessManagement Program, you canview your personal scores andhistory. Make sure you completethe test before it expires.

The aim of this program is toensure we are all combat readyAirmen ready to tackle thedemands of our militaryprofession. It is a requiredstandard for all to maintain.Please find a program that meetsyour needs and most importantlyget the approval of a medicalprofessional before proceeding. Ihope to see you all at the gym orout on the track.

officer. “We train all year. Ourannual training is the bestopportunity to put the skills touse. One goal is to be proficientand the only way to do that isthrough hands on work. Oursecond goal lets the reservetroops work side-by-side withtheir active duty counterpartsand see what Total Force is allabout.”

Tech. Sgt. Mike Tungate, asupply technician, echoed theimportance of the training. “Ireceived some really goodtraining at Mildenhall. Beinghere for two weeks was reallyfantastic! Jumping in on day oneand assisting where we could tohelp out as they prepared fortheir ORI brings a great sense ofsatisfaction and enjoyment ofbeing a reservist simply becauseI enjoy being in the Air Force.The people and camaraderie issomething I just don’t get in thecivilian world.”

Lt. Col. Don Wren, 445 LRScommander, spoke highly of thededicated men and women of the445th. “When you look at today’sAir Force Reserve, we are anoperational reserve which meansthat our members have to beready. They have to be trained tobe relevant and that fits withinthe AEF (Air and SpaceExpeditionary Force) construct so

when we deploy we are identicalto the active duty. When anyonesteps into any work center theycannot identify any of ourmembers from active duty interms of skill qualifications orprofessional behavior.”

The pride of the Airmen isevident in their behavior, attitudeand professionalism as they walkin the footsteps of those that camebefore them at this historiclocation, upholding the legacy thathas created the Total Force that itis today.

Master Sgt. Rebecca Spencer,noncommissioned officer incharge of materiel management,reflected on being a reservist.“Being in the reserves, servingour country, being given theopportunity to work with othersand better understand themission, illustrates how we allplay our part and that’s veryimportant for me. I’m serving mycountry, and I really enjoy this job.It’s a wonderful opportunity to seethe world and work with otherpeople in the military with a widevariety of backgrounds.”

The two-week training providedopportunities for good hands onexperience, training and detailedknowledge in each respectivecareer field. Being a reservistprovides the opportunity to meetothers, learn new ways of doing

“These deployments are hugemorale builders. The Airmenmake this work …it’s the Airmenwho are the key to this. They wantto be here, they want to do theirjobs, and they want to contribute tothe mission,” added Colonel Wren.

Reservists participate in WOW Conference

Reservists from the 445th Airlift Wingparticipated in the National Aviation Hallof Fame’s Third Annual Wings of Women(WOW) Conference July 17. Forty-sixyoung women in grades 9-12 attended thedaylong interactive education program,with activities taking place at theNational Museum of the United States AirForce, NAHF, the Hope Hotel and the 445AW.

WOW’s aim is to stir girls’ interest intheir futures, introduce them to careeropportunities, resources that areavailable, and demonstrate that it ispossible to achieve success in aviation,and in life. The WOW Conference washeld in conjunction with the NAHFannual Enshrinement dinner andceremony.

“After the first year of the conference,it has since been an all volunteer effortand it continues to be an all volunteereffort. The women coming to theEnshrinement have always been graciousto share their experiences and spendtime with the girls,” Betty Darst, NAHFboard member and adjunct faculty, Wright StateUniversity, said.

The young women attending the conferencecame from a variety of backgrounds. Some of themaccepted invitations that were sent to the aviationcommunity network, Air Force Junior ROTC, GearUp, Upward Bound, along with personal support fromteachers. Each girl submitted a brief essayarticulating her desire to attend. Ms. Darst saidthere were also some girls in attendance that arepart of the Sinclair Aviation program.

“It was a lot of fun. I had the opportunity toattend last year and this conference was better.The stories we heard throughout the day wereinteresting,” Megan Clawson said.

Ms. Darst said thanks to all the volunteers at theconference. This year's conference included morehands on and interactive opportunities.

While at the NAHF, four members of the WomenAirforce Service Pilots (WASP), Francis Brookings,Nadine Canfield Nagle, Marty Wyall, and DawnSeymour, gave a short presentation. When thegroup was in the World War II hangar at themuseum, they showed the girls the aircraft thatthey flew. The WASPs stayed with the group therest of the day.

“Dawn is an awesome woman. She is fun andjust full of energy. I wish I could have chatted morewith her,” said Danielle Kelly, an Air Force JuniorROTC cadet who escorted Ms. Seymour during theconference.

After lunch, the group headed to the 445th AWwhere Lt. Col. Linda Stokes-Crow, AeromedicalEvacuation Squadron commander, gave an overview ofthe wing’s mission. Maj. Dawn Rice, also from theAES, gave an informative presentation on the missionof AES and the role of a flight nurse. The group thenmoved to the flightline for a tour of a C-5 Galaxyaircraft. As each young girl explored the cargo areaand flight deck, they pondered the question asked ofthem earlier by one of the load masters, “how manyping pong balls can fit on a C-5?”

“The conference was a memorable event. One ofmy favorite parts of the day was touring the C-5because it’s my favorite airplane,” Angel Buzard said.

At the close of the day, each girl selected a book oftheir choice, and some other mementos of theconference, including a deck of playing cards featuringwomen air and space heroes and WOW t-shirt.

“I thought the program was a real learningexperience because I got a lot of information aboutwomen in aviation,” Amanda Brown said.

Another attendee also expressed her appreciationof the event. “This was an eye opening experienceand because of it, I do plan to join the Air Force aftercollege. I’m glad that I was able to spend the day onthe base and learn new things about something lifechanging,” said Jazmine Glover, who’s part of theUpward Bound program at Springfield, Ohio’s,Wittenberg University.

“It’s all worth it when you hear a comment likethat,” Ms. Darst said.

Family, friends and the Ohio Patriot Guard Ridersgathered at the Dayton International Airport June27, to welcome home 17 Airmen from the 445thSecurity Forces Squadron.

The Airmen returned from a six-monthdeployment to Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraq, wherethe Air Force Reserve has been providing themajority of the security forces supporting theinstallation, said Master Sgt. John Koehl, 445th SFSfirst sergeant.

Overall, the deployment was pretty pain-free, saidMaster Sgt. Bryan Cepluch, who was a squad leaderwhile deployed.

“I think we all feel like we made a difference andthat we’re all glad to be back with our families,” hesaid. “It certainly makes you appreciate what theArmy is doing even more – we were gone sixmonths, they’re doing a year.”

For Master Sgt. John Grice and Capt. DavidMoore, the homecoming was especially sweet. Eachof them was able to hold their child for the firsttime. Sergeant Grice’s son Ethan is now 4-monthsold, while Captain Moore’s daughter Addison wasborn only days after he deployed in December.

Family members were also happy to see theirloved ones, especially considering stand-still trafficon Interstate 70 threatened to cause some of themto miss the homecoming. However, a flight delaymeant most families were able to reach the airportin advance of the returning Airmen.

“It feels better, it feels good,” said Leslie Stout,wife of Staff Sgt. Timothy Stout, of having herhusband back after months without him.

While deployed, the Airmen of the 445th SFSperformed patrol duties and provided installationsecurity during their daily, 12-hour shifts.

They also earned praise from 506thExpeditionary Security Forces Squadron leadership,with two of them earning monthly awards. Tech.Sgt. Steven Durham was selected as the Non-Commissioned Officer of the Month in May whileSenior Airman Joseph Easterling was selected asthe Airman of the Month in May.

The security forces Airmen will remain on ordersfor more than a month in order to completenecessary in-processing and use leave they earnedwhile activated.

The 445th Airlift Wing has about 100 Airmendeployed at any given time, about 75 percent ofwhich are in Iraq or Afghanistan.
