By Ann Skarban 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — As a result of the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act Intra-theater Airlift Working Group’s recommendations, Colorado’s 302nd Airlift Wing is slated gain an additional C-130 Hercules aircraft in FY 2014. This additional backup aircraft, which was added to enhance mission effectiveness, will bring the total number of aircraft assigned to the Air Force Reserve airlift unit from 12 to 13. With the addition of a 13th C-130, this will make the Colorado Reserve wing one of the largest unit-equipped C-130 wings within the Air Force Reserve Command. While this additional C-130 is classified as a backup aircraft and will not increase manning or funding for the Peterson tenant wing, it will provide an additional resource for the wing’s operational missions which include airlift and airdrop, active associate and Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System missions. “An additional C-130 will add depth to our current aircraft inventory and will be beneficial especially when the wing is sup- porting concurrent taskings such as MAFFS, overseas deployments and training require- ments,” said Col.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The social pres- sures of drinking are ever present, but should not infringe on the need for responsibility to yourself and the community at large. Unfortunately, drinking and driving is an extremely common case in today’s society, and has caused many sense- less injuries and deaths. The laws have become stricter but the problem still exists. The effects of alcohol on a driver of a motor vehicle have been studied and displayed on many television shows and radio stations, yet the general public still continues to commit this serious offense. Here is how I made my mistake. Some friends of mine from Denver have a band and were playing at a local live music venue. I had not seen them in a long time and decided to go see the show. My plan was to not drink and drive myself home, and the plan was going great until the band finished their set. I sat down at the bar with them to catch up on old times. As we were talking, the guys ordered a round of drinks and gave me one as well. I thought to myself one beer will be OK. We continued to chat and another round was ordered and I thought since it had been a while since I finished the last one, I will be fine. Some more time passed and they ordered another round and gave me one again. I again thought to myself this is the last one, I will not have any more for the night. The bar lights turned on and the bartender announced closing time. I still had some of my beer left. I finished the rest and I felt completely in control and had no reservations time. I think this was because I was talking and not paying calculations of “high three” no longer apply, and will cost about driving home. As I started home, I reached for my cell attention to the clock or the actual time between drinks. me thousands in retirement. phone on the floor of my truck and bumped the curb.

I have been told and witnessed and pulled me over. Since the arrest in September, I have paid a civilian lawyer the tragic consequences of drinking and driving, and I still I was administered a field sobriety test. I failed the test to defend my case in the Colorado Springs court system, as made the decision to get behind the wheel after drinking. and the officer arrested me, took me to the police station well as the Department of Revenue for my driving privileges There are many alternatives to drinking and driving: Airmen and gave me a breathalyzer test.

HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. (AFNS) — As the sun rose above the New Mexican desert, thousands of people from the United States and countries around the world gathered to begin the 24th Annual Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., March 17. The Bataan Memorial Death March honors the 80,000 Filipino and American troops who surrendered after the three-month Battle of Bataan on April 9, 1942, in which they fought to defend the islands of Luzon, Corregidor, and the harbor defense forts of the Philippines. After surrendering, they were forced to march 80 miles through the Philippine jungle, where more than 5,000 prisoners of war died before they could reach the capital of Bataan. Thirteen survivors attended this year’s march and welcomed 5,800 people who came to show respect and honor to the very men before them and those that were there on that historical day more than 70 years ago. “I feel very inspired and honored that these veterans come here and also to see them on the course greeting participants,” said U.S. Army Col. Leo G. Pullar, White (U.S. Air Force Photo by Airman 1st Class Michael Shoemaker) Sands Missile Range garrison commander.
