2 COMMENTARY A Legacy of Valor by Col. James C. Howe 6th MXG/CC Team MacDill, it s been a short three years for me as the 6th Maintenance Group commander and the time has come to pass the baton and move back to the staff at Headquarters Air Mobility Command. It s been a proud and tumultuous three years for my family and I, and I d like to leave you with a few parting thoughts. The men and women of the 6th Maintenance Group have distinguished themselves in the performance of outstanding service to United States as demonstrated by their unequalled record of accomplishments. Sound like a decoration citation? It should. Four major higher headquarters inspections, an external environmental inspection, three Airfests and numerous distinguished visitors from the President of the United States, Vice President, two 4-star Commanders of AMC, the Vice Commander of AMC, two Commanders of 18th Air Force and over three dozen community group visits (including our own Rising Stars elementary kids) gave you the opportunity to shine and shine you did. Through it all, the troops of the maintenance group overcame insurmountable obstacles like maintaining 50-year old aircraft flying at NASCAR speeds. Think about it, have you seen any 57 Chevy s on the circuit lately? Keeping these ancient aircraft in air and flying safe falls on the shoulders of the youngest average age group of Air Force airman we have ever fielded. The flying hours we generated were the equivalent of 18 round the world trips in one aircraft and we ve passed enough gas to coalition receiver aircraft to line up gasoline tanker trucks from here to Cleveland, Ohio without missing a beat. The maintenance group proved to be all in. Our deployment rates are one of the highest in the wing. Not only did maintainers do their 120-day AEF tour in the US- CENTCOM AOR, we supported leadership deployments (including my own 132 day trip to Kuwait) all over the world. Even with 30 percent of the key leaders gone at any one time, the next maintainer in line stepped up to make sure the home station mission got done. The average crew chief is gone 270 days a year and the average specialist is gone 220 days a year. As an enabler force, our mission will not be done until the last requirement for air refueling in the world is complete. I am proud of my group s accomplishments. It s not the four HHQ inspection outstanding ratings, one of which, from the 2009 AMC IG UCI, was the first outstanding rating earned by a maintenance unit in over three years, that sets us apart. It s not the recognition that in the first year of its being, the combined efforts of the 6th and 927th Aircraft Maintenance Squadrons earned the United States Air Force Maintenance Effectiveness Award and was only one of two Air Force units selected from a field of 18 winners to compete for and win the second highest honor in Department of Defense The SECDEF Field-Level Maintenance Award. Nor is it the 6th Maintenance Squadron s Periodic Inspection section s recognition as one Col. James C. Howe of five USAF Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award winners that sets us apart. It s the people that I have had the privilege to lead these past three years that have earned for the 6th Maintenance Group and the 6th Air Mobility Wing a true Legacy of Valor. Good Luck, Godspeed and Carry on.

4 NEWS/FEATURES AFNET opens doors to social networking AMC officials stress importance of cyber security by Mark Diamond Air Mobility Command Public Affairs SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. This month, as the Air Force opens its network to Internet-based capabilities, including social networking services, AMC leaders say it s important Airmen always keep Operations Security, network protection, and professionalism at the forefront. On March 30, the Air Force opened the network to Internet-based social networking sites at five Pacific Air Forces bases and will begin opening sites Air Force-wide later this month. The Air Force s implementation plan will allow access while still ensuring the Air Force maintains a tight and secure network to defend against malicious activity to safeguard the missions that depend on cyberspace. In today s age of Internet media, Airmen have access to new Internet-based capabilities which allow them to easily and quickly share information with people throughout the world. However, AMC officials said that with these great new capabilities comes an even greater personal and professional responsibility. AMC officials listed several areas Airmen, whether on or off duty, need to pay particular attention to when communicating via the Internet: 1. Operations Security (OPSEC) and Information Security (INFOSEC) Do not post classified or sensitive information. If unsure, do not post the information until you speak with your supervisor, your unit Security or OPSEC manager, or your local Public Affairs office. In brief, do not discuss specific names, dates, times or locations in relation to Air Force operations. Get DePLAYment kits while the gettin is good by Nick Stubbs Thunderbolt editor Families of deployed servicemembers that have not taken advantage of free kits full of benefits are encouraged to jump on this unique opportunity while it is still available. The Stay Connected kits are being issued to eligible families that sign-up for a DePLAYment Tag Pass Pack. The Stay Connected kits contain items to help parents and children stay in touch and connected during deployments. Benefits of the De- PLAYment Tag Pass Pack include opportunities for free bowling, Link-Up 2 Golf lessons, framing classes, canoe and kayak lessons, ITT/ODR trips and tours, Youth Program sports registration, Aikido Martial Arts classes, hourly child care and more. The kits includes lots of small goodies, from useful tools to educational materials. To receive a Stay Connected kit or DePLAYment Tag Pass Pack, families must provide a copy of the sponsor s orders verifying a TDY for 30 days or more, or 365 PCS, to an Active Operation (which includes Haiti) between July 1, 2009 and July 30, Stay Connected Kits and De- PLAYment Tag Passes are issued at the Airman and Family Readiness Center and the Brandon Family Support Center.

Do not reveal information that could suggest troop movements, system information, weapons information, military organization, or other valuable intelligence to a potential adversary. Although some information is not classified, sensitive information may provide small pieces to a larger puzzle that would be useful to our adversaries. In other words, seemingly innocent information, when combined, may reveal valuable intelligence to our enemies.

6 NEWS/FEATURES MacDill volunteers build eco-friendly oyster reef along shoreline by Senior Airman Anna-Marie Wyant 927th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs Approximately 30 volunteers from the 927th Air Refueling Wing, 6th Air Mobility Wing, U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command volunteered their morning April 21 to move oyster domes along the MacDill Air Force Base shoreline in an effort to stabilize and restore it. The 120-pound, concrete oyster domes will act as a sort of reef to which oysters will attach and grow, said Jason Kirkpatrick, a contractor with the 6th Civil Engineer Squadron and the oyster reef project organizer and manager. This project protects the shoreline, stops erosion and restores our natural habitat, Mr. Kirkpatrick said. It also improves water quality; oysters are excellent filters, filtering up to nine gallons of water an hour with oysters per dome. At this rate, the 180 domes set up today will eventually help filter approximately 15 million gallons of water each day. In addition to cleaner water, Mr. Kirkpatrick stressed the importance of stabilizing the shoreline. We are losing one to two feet of horizontal land each year due to erosion of the shoreline, he said. We are losing real estate. Mr. Kirkpatrick said he developed the project design, found the funding, and organized the labor pool to install the domes with the help of Tampa BayWatch, which secured all of the permits necessary to build the reef. Volunteers, many of whom had never met before today, worked efficiently to get the job done as a team. This was the first time Tech. Sgt. Matthew W. Jordan from the 927th Maintenance Squadron volunteered in this project, and he said he enjoyed his experience. We had a large group of motivated people who all took turns moving the beds into the bay, Sergeant Jordan said. In order to move each bed you needed two people, one on each side to lift and then walk the bed into the bay. We all worked together and had a member of the Environmental flight directing us to its final location. In addition to helping the environment and meeting new people, Sergeant Jordan said he enjoyed spending some time outdoors and in the water. He said he and other members of his unit would be interested in volunteering for another similar project in the future. The project, which has been ongoing since 2004, has been funded in part by Headquarters Air Mobility Command, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Those interested in helping should keep ears and eyes open for regular volunteer calls.

12 homecoming From Page 3 It s a way to come together to eat, celebrate, catch up after everyone (those who have deployed) get a chance to decompress a little, said Tech Sgt. Christopher Gordon, Airman and Family Readiness NCO. We hope it will be the first (welcome home event) of several. Sergeant Gordon said it was determined that a get-together would be a good way smoothing out the big winding down process that typically comes after a deployment. It s an adjustment, and getting family and friends and fellow Airmen together is a way to return to life here, said Sergeant Gordon. We think it s going to be very beneficial. The event is for any servicemember who returned this year from a deployment by April 30. Future events will mark the return of servicemembers during subsequent quarters, or three-month periods. For more information about these events, contact Sergeant Gordon at

14 SPORTS North Course golfer bags hole-in-one Thunderbolt staff report It s been said that golf is a game for people who do not have enough frustration in their lives, but every once in a while all the time spent on the course pays off big. Such was the case for golfer Steve Case, who was playing the second hole of the North Course at Mac- Dill s Bay Palms club April 17. He teed up, let her rip and watched the ball drop into the cup for a rare hole-in-one. Congratulations to Steve, and cheers to all those who dream of the day they will match his feat.
