Speaking of courage, I ask that you take a moment and pay tribute to the generations of brave servicemen and women who helped secure the freedoms we all enjoy today.

4 NEWS/FEATURES 6th AMW Airman golfer gets taste of life on the pro tour by Nick Stubbs Thunderbolt editor Asked to sum up his experience as a special guest player in last weekend s PGA Valero Texas Open golf tournament, Senior Airman John Little, a member of the 6th Security Forces Squadron, used the fewest words possible: Wow! Airman Little is back on the job as an armorer this week after what was the most memorable weekend of his golfing life. He got to not only rub elbows with golfing greats Ernie Els, Justin Leonard, David Duval and others, he got to play with them. The honor came at the decision of the board organizing the tournament, which included some retired generals who thought it would be a good idea to invite a military member to play, said Airman Little. Having won the All Armed Services Championship golf tournament in November, Airman Little was the natural choice. It was great, and an honor, Airman Little said. It was an unbelievable experience, and something people who golf could only dream about. An avid golfer who plays whenever he gets the opportunity, Airman Little is a fixture at the Bay Palms Club at MacDill. With a handicap of 3, he s a force to be reckoned with on the course, and wants to turn pro and pursue a tournament career one day. That s my goal, he said. Id like to go pro and make it (golf) my job and make my living from golf. Airman Little said the weekend tournament only cemented his desire. The atmosphere and high level of competition gave him a taste of life as a touring pro, in part thanks to the treatment he received. The job they did and the hospitality they showed was incredible, Airman Little said. They treated me like a PGA pro and made me feel like I belonged. In a competitive field, it took a two-round score of 145 to make the final cut. Airman Little fell short, but he was not discouraged and it took nothing away from the experience. It s something I ll never forget, he said. Fill er up - The Great Gas Giveaway is coming by Airman 1st Class Katherine Holt 6th Air Mobility Wing More than 50 volunteers from the House of Prayer Church will be pumping free gas to the first 200 cars that arrive at the Chevron Gas station at 301 East Bearss Ave in Tampa from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., May 28. The congregation of House of Prayer Church pitched in and raised $5,000 to give 200 cars $25 worth of gas. They are calling it, The great gas giveaway. Courtesy photo Senior Airman John Little, an armorer with the 6th Security Forces Squadron, puts at last weekend s Valero PGA open in San Antonio, Texas. Airman Little was invited to play with the pros because he won the Armed Services Championship golf tournament in November, The members of the church just wanted to provide a little relief to the Tampa Bay Community, said Al Jester, U.S. Central Command budget analyst. There is a need right out our front door, and we just wanted to do something about it. The first 200 cars will have their gas pumped and their windows washed, free of charge. Everyone is invited to attend the great gas giveaway, but get there early; first come, first served. We hope this event will help alleviate members of the community, even if it is a half a tank at a time, said Mr. Jester.

6 FITNESS Air Force fitness program revisions begin July 1 by Jon Hanson Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs Office RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) In less than two months, Airmen across the globe will begin testing against new fitness assessment standards. These standards were deemed necessary by senior Air Force leaders to ensure a fitter and healthier fighting force. Changes include biannual testing, minimum requirements within testing components and establishing fitness assessment cells to proctor tests. Our senior leadership has gone to great lengths to ensure every Airman stays fit year round, said Chief Master Sgt. Mark Long, the Air Force s chief of enlisted promotions, evaluations and fitness policy. We want all Airmen to take fitness seriously. We intend that the days of cramming for the annual fitness test will be replaced by an emphasis on year-round fitness. We were the only military service who did not test at least twice a year, and it s a definite step in the right direction to change the Air Force fitness culture. Although twice-a-year testing began Jan. 1, the Air Force delayed implementing the new fitness program until July 1 when Air Force Instruction becomes effective. The program promotes aerobic and muscular fitness, flexibility and optimal body composition for Air Force members. During the bi-annual fitness assessments, Airmen will receive an overall composite fitness score based on four components: a 1.5-mile timed run for aerobic fitness, body composition and the muscular fitness components of pushups and sit-ups. Airmen must meet minimum requirements for each of the four components. Components are weighted as follows: 60 points for aerobic, 20 points for body composition, 10 points for pushups, and 10 points for sit-ups, for a total of 100 possible points. Another key change is the use of fitness assessment cells where trained civilian employees administer the fitness assessment. The purpose of these cells is to reduce the administrative burden on squadrons and maximize consistency in testing. The fitness program changes will help the Air Force in many ways, Chief Long said. They will help our Airmen stay healthier and help reduce associated medical costs in this budget constrained environment. Most important is a fitter force will help ensure we meet and exceed mission requirements.

14 Hurricane season fast approaching Readiness a must for MacDill members by Nick Stubbs Thunderbolt editor Readiness is one of the most important components of being an Airman in today s force, but for those who live in work in Florida, readiness takes on a dual meaning during the summer months. Hurricane season begins June 1, and that means everyone must shift into storm preparedness mode, said Staff Sgt. Joshua Bates, an emergency management craftsman with the 6th Civil Engineer Squadron. It s his job to help get out the word and ensure Airmen have the knowledge, supplies and plan needed in the event of an evacuation order. A lot of people wait until June 1 to get started, but really now is the time to get everything in order, said. Sergeant Bates. You don t want to wait until the season is here. That doesn t leave a lot of time. Sergeant Bates recommends that anyone who does not have their hurricane kits assembled, to get in gear and gear up. Airmen can visit to get a listing of items for their personal or family kit, but typically a kit contains the essentials needed to survive for three days, including food, a gallon of water per person per day, toiletries and even items such as pet food. One of the biggest concerns is for Airmen who have recently relocated to Mac- Dill from parts of the country where hurricanes are not a threat. They don t have a good grasp on the dangers, or the importance of being ready, said Sergeant Bates. We can t emphasize enough the seriousness of a hurricane, he said. A spouse of a deployed member who is here from Kansas, for example, doesn t really understand what to do. To help with the effort, the MacDill Commissary will be setting up isle displays featuring the items needed to build a hurricane kit, said Sergeant Bates, whose unit will be setting up information booths in conjunction with the effort that will run through June. Coloring books, crossword puzzles for children, and information pamphlets for adults, will be part of the information campaign, he said. A hurricane preparedness briefing was also included in the Town Hall meeting held last week, he said. This time of year it is important to get the word out as much as possible so people have it on their mind, Sergeant Bates said. Most of the information Airmen need can be found on the site, but servicemembers should also check with their unit emergency reps to square away details of the unit evacuation plan, safe house and safe haven plans and other details that ensure the process of hurricane evacuation runs as smoothly as possible. In addition to government Web site and Commisary, Bates notes home improvement stores in the area also feature hurricane emergency items in special displays, and the Web site is being recommended as a source of local hurricane evacuation and preparedness information. Additional resources throughout the hurricane season will be the MacDill Twitter and Facebook pages. The final responsibility of servicemembers is to ensure their families are briefed and that everyone understands the family emergency plan, said Sergeant Bates. When a storm is coming is not the time to try and figure things out, he said. You have to be ready. Recommended Items to Include in a Basic Emergency Supply Kit: u Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation u Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food u Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both u Flashlight and extra batteries u First aid kit u Whistle to signal for help u Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place u Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation u Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities u Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food) u Local maps u Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger Additional Items to Consider Adding to an Emergency Supply Kit: u Prescription medications and glasses u Infant formula and diapers u Pet food and extra water for your pet u Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container u Cash or traveler s checks and change u Emergency reference material such as a first aid book or information from u Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person.

15 NEWS/FEATURES Joint MacDill crews take civic leaders to tour Robins, Charleston by Senior Airman Anna-Marie Wyant 927th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs Fourteen local civic leaders returned Friday from a two-day tour to Robins Air Force Base, Ga., and Charleston Air Force Base, S.C. Approximately 20 Airmen from the 927th Air Refueling Wing and 6th Air Mobility Wing, including Col. David P. Pavey, 927th ARW commander, Col. Theodore S. Mathews, the 927th ARW vice commander, and Col. Larry Martin, 6th Air Mobility Wing commander, also took part in the tour. The tour, which departed MacDill Thursday morning in a KC-135 Stratotanker, transported the civic leaders, including 12 Honorary Commanders for the 6th AMW and 927th ARW, to Robins first. Along the way, members of the 45th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron set up a display of their equipment and explained their missions to the civic leaders. While at Robins, the group visited the Air Force Reserve Headquarters and met Lt. Gen. Charles E. Stenner, the chief of the Air Force Reserve and the commander of the Air Force Reserve Command. General Stenner explained the various facets of the Reserves and thanked the civic leaders for their patriotism and support. We re here because we are a significant part of this nation s defense, General Stenner said, and so are you. It s not just the military doing everything anymore; it s the nation. General Stenner also discussed the need for civilian employers of Reservists to show understanding for their Reservists unique needs as military members. He said Reservists must balance their military jobs, civilian jobs, and families in what he calls the Reserve Triad. He told the civic leaders that their support is greatly appreciated by each part of the triad. Employers right now are doing a fantastic job, he said. Keep doing what you re doing. In addition, General Stenner recognized and applauded the strong relationship between 927th ARW Reservists and 6th AMW activeduty service members, who have worked increasingly jointly since the 927th ARW moved to MacDill in You all at MacDill, two big thumbs up; you re doing very well, he said. See TOUR, Page 16 Photo by Senior Airman Anna-Marie Wyant First Lt. Michael Ofman of the 45th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron from MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., explains his unit s in-flight missions to Honorary Commanders during a civic leader tour to Robins Air Force Base, Ga. May 13. The two-day tour also took civic leaders to Charleston Air Force Base, S.C. Civic leaders and Airmen from the 927th Air Refueling Wing and 6th Air Mobility Wing at MacDill Air Force Base, stand in front of two F-15 Eagles at Robins Air Force Base, Ga., during a civic leader tour May 13.

16 tour From Page 15 While at Robins, the group also toured an F- 15 Eagle static display, functional testing area and wing repair shop, where they saw various stages of what it takes to repair and maintain military aircraft. The group departed Robins that afternoon and spent the night in Charleston. Friday morning, the group received a joint mission briefing from Col. Martha A. Meeker, the 628th Air Base Wing commander, and Col. Michael Speer, the 315th Airlift Wing vice commander, and Col. John Wood, the 437th Airlift Wing commander. They discussed the integrated missions at Charleston and how the activeduty and Reserve units work jointly, similar to MacDill. The group also toured a C-17 Globemaster III static display and the life support facilities before departing for MacDill. During the flight to MacDill, the KC-135 aircrew demonstrated an aerial refueling with a C- 17. Civic leaders were given a chance to watch the demonstration beside boom operator Staff Sgt. Eric D. Flanders. of the 91st Air Refueling Squadron, as he performed a simulated refueling. Mrs. Vivian Reeves, 927th ARW Honorary Commander, said the tour was a unique experience for her, and she would do it again in a heartbeat. I loved every minute of it, Mrs. Reeves said. It was the best trip I ve ever had, and I ve been to a lot of places. I felt very honored to be part of it. Maj. Christopher M. Bragdon, a pilot with the 63rd Air Refueling Squadron, organized this tour and said it was successful and significant. This is the first time the 6th and 927th have done a civic leaders tour together, Major Bragdon said. It s important to have total force integration, and it was a great learning experience for both the civic leaders and the Airmen on the tour. Colonel Pavey agreed that the tour was a great learning experience that increases in importance as the military becomes smaller. Fewer and fewer members in elected positions have served in the military, Colonel Pavey said, and American influence throughout the world is not only accomplished by the military, but by the influence of our communities. Educating these Honorary Commanders on our mission and letting them see our spectacular Airmen in action was priceless.
