THE BOOM SIGNAL THE BOOM

Would You Like To Know More?

THE 2010 BOOM SIGNAL IS DEDICATED TO

All Tanker (KC-10 & KC-135) schoolhouse instructor/evaluator boom operators, past and present. Your dedication to the art of flight instruction is a legacy that will live on for future generations of boom operators. "..You stand on the shoulders of giants.." (AETC/CC, General Lorenz, 2009 Boom Symposium)

To CMSgts Jim Threet & Jim Eden (USAF Ret.) for providing the strength, guidance and mentorship to keep me moving in a forward direction.

To the Boom Operators who have ever been stationed at the 905, 906, 911 & 912 ARS at Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota. This year marks the end of the current era of KC-135 presence there. Thanks to all the Warriors of the North for your service at the Forks and good luck in your new unit locations.

7 2010 Preparation for Contact

I’d like to take a minute to tell you that this will be my last BOOM SIGNAL as Editor. It is time, after 11 years, to turn this legacy project over to another. MSgt Ernest Burns, HQ AMC/A3TK, at Scott AFB volunteered to take over the SIGNAL project starting with the 2011 edition. I arrived at this decision after much deliberation. I felt that even though I could have continued this project and potentially taken it with me into retirement, it has always been under the care of an Active Duty Boom Operator. Ernest will take this project into the future and with his fresh outlook I have no doubt that the SIGNAL will continue to grow and be a source of heritage for all Boom Operators. I appreciate all the positive support that I’ve received over the years during my tenure as Editor. With that being said…

Welcome to the 2010 Edition of the BOOM SIGNAL! This is the 31st Anniversary Edition. Another year has flown by! I want to thank all the units that participated in this year’s Edition. As always, the goal is to have maximum participation in the SIGNAL. Congratulations to all Boom Operators who’ve competed and earned promotion since last year. Still waiting to see which manufacturer will provide us with the next refueling platform. The Center of Excellence has increased its fleet of static trainer aircraft with the addition of the KC- 135 Speckled Trout. (photos on page XX) The CoE continues expand its training prowess and is one-stop- shopping for Career Enlisted Aviator (CEA) training. The Boom Operator Weapon System Trainer unit #1 has completed burn-in period at Altus AFB. Unit #2 is installed and in testing. (photos on page XX) The contract for the AMC BOWST project has been awarded. These units are planned to be built and installed at our line units. The BOSS trainer for ANG units, is also in work.

For those who aren’t familiar with the BOOM SIGNAL tradition, it’s a compilation of Unit inputs. It is the only one of its kind although several attempts have been made to copy it, without success. The intent of the BOOM SIGNAL is a communication link between each Boom Operator, past, present and future. It’s a historical document which started in 1979. I believe the BOOM SIGNAL goes hand-in-hand with the many traditions we uphold. As I’ve stated on more than one occasion; “Boom Operators are like one big family; no matter where you go; no matter whether you are Active, Retired, Guard or Reserve, you are always welcome and you always have something in common and you are family.

I’d like to extend thanks to the following: CMSgt Dan Repp at HQ AMC, CMSgt James Boozer, Jr., at HQ AFRC, SMSgt Wayne Nelson at the ANG Bureau and other senior Boom Operators for assisting me in spreading the word for this year’s SIGNAL. Jim Reese & Steve Tuttle at Flight Safety, Altus AFB, for supporting the Class Rosters section. I finalized the project to recover and make available hard copies of all the SIGNAL’s for download on the website. Legacy and heritage is a large part of what being a Boom Operator is all about. I hope you enjoy the 2010 Edition of the BOOM SIGNAL.

“Pilot, Boom’s off interphone, with Oxygen…”

SMSgt Paul E. Greene BOOM SIGNAL Editor Randolph AFB, Texas (June 2010)

Any comments or questions about the 2010 BOOM SIGNAL can be directed to SMSgt Paul E. Greene, e-mail: [email protected] ; or [email protected] . Or to the http://theboomsignal.org website. The 2010 BOOM SIGNAL commemorates the 31st Anniversary. Start working your input for the 2011 BOOM SIGNAL now! MSgt Ernest Burns, HQ AMC/A3TK is the new BOOM SIGNAL Editor. [email protected]

This section contains out unit submissions. How does this process come together you ask? Simple (not really) I send out the SPINS and suspense date in January via the AMC Boom Functional Manager, ANG Bureau Chief and HQ AF Reserve Chief, as well as an email direct to each unit CMSgt. I also send out periodic suspense reminders between January and the suspense date (31 May). This process is the same every single year. If a unit chooses not to participate, I annotate where I have contacted the unit, but they chose not to provide a unit submission. I do this not to single any one unit out, but to inform you, the reader that contact was attempted, but a negative contact condition was the result.

The ultimate goal is always 100% unit participation. To preserve each Signal as a record; a complete yearly snapshot of all our units to preserve for career field history. I’m sorry to say that, that seems an impossible task, despite keeping the tasker/suspense time-frame the same each year. Usually, I receive the “I didn’t know about the suspense…” or my personal favorite is “We’re too busy to provide an input…” If we are to keep this project alive and growing each year, I implore you to take the time, 30-minutes, an hour, a day out of entire year to come up with a unit submission and let the Boom Operator family know what’s been happening in your location. We are a small career field, but very diverse, adaptable and professional. With that in mind, on to the unit submissions for 2010!

READER DISCLAIMER:

Be advised that the individual compiling the BOOM SIGNAL is not responsible for the content of any entry submitted for publication. The Unit’s submissions were edited for format, spelling and hopefully put in a logical order. However, their original content was left wholly intact.

The spirit of the BOOM SIGNAL is for Unit’s to express themselves in a manner befitting the family of Boom Operators (aka, any way they see fit). To that end, please remember; “nothing is too cruel if it’s funny enough.”

Nobody Kicks Ass Without Tanker Gas…Nobody!!

10 ALTUS AFB, OK

97 TRS

CMSgt Lonny Hall: Lonny is the outgoing Superintendent at the TRS could not get BOWST finished so he gave up on us. Lonny made Chief and got an assignment to McConnell and is looking for a new lackey to make his coffee. Lonny got his elk this year (even though it took him four shots to down it) and was grinning ear to ear. Mules are expensive to rent, so he ordered Morris to pack it off the hill.

SMSgt Mike Morris: Mike came to the TRS to be the Superintendent and still has his smile after a couple months; we will see how he is doing after a year of student Article 15s. Mike has vowed to do in 4 months what Lonny could not in 7 years (BOWST). His talents earned him a spot on the reigning “Last Place Boom Golf Team” for the symposium and was actually in contention to win (everyone else quit because of the wind and rain) until the tourney was cancelled.

MSgt Robert “BK” Brolliar: BK’s the TRS’s Superintendent of students. What does that mean? Basically, he’s the guy that stands in to keep SMSgt from strangling the life out of the student loads and booms. BK has actually been the team captain for the “Last Place Boom Golf Team” for the last two years running. Both Chief Hall and SMSgt Morris would be hard pressed to admit that they couldn’t do without him…he makes a mean pot of coffee.

MSgt Richard “Ricky” Martin: Ricky is finally leaving for Scott AFB and can leave Altus behind him, especially since he probably held every job on base at some point in his tour. The pool begins on how many jobs Ricky will hold at Scott.

MSgt Matt Calisi: Matt has been wearing his new stripes with pride. He is continually putting in 16 hour days (because he pushes buttons on the BOWST without actually knowing what they do). When not at work, he’s putting in time fixing his jet ski—will it ever be done? Matt is returning to the ARS after completing his tour in the TRS to run squadron Stan/Eval.

MSgt Jeremiah Docken: Arrived at Altus and made MSgt, spent minimal time in the ARS and replaced Matt Calisi. Jeremiah likes his toys and will drive’em anywhere—just ask him. Hey Jeremiah, with Matt’s pending assignment to Kadena there might be a jet ski for sale…cheap.

TSgt Shane Haney: Shane is our local celebrity and man about town. You could see his cheesy grin on a dozen billboards around Altus. Shane still talks the same, very few can actually understand what he says, and is working courseware and holds the title of BOWST King…BOWST has become a four letter word for him. Shane graduated from ERAU this spring. Both he and SMSgt Morris prove that you can pay the fee and get a B.

11 TSgt Rafael Cruz-Oyola: Rafael danced his way into the hearts of the TRS. Rafael spends his days working in the training office and his nights teaching Zumba (Latin step aerobics) and Cross Fit. He finished his B.S. degree this time last year and is now working on a Master’s. He still smiles a lot and that is what makes us a little nervous.

TSgt Rodrick “Putt” Taylor: Came across to clean up the Pubs shop for the TRS. Putt made TSgt and wears his new stripe proudly...after finally getting them sowed on a shirt. Putt and his wife have a “Taylor made baby” on the way which keeps him smiling. Congrats Putt.

SSgt Jesse Wright: Jesse has been putting in long hours on the BOWST. It’s common knowledge that Jesse keeps his head shaved to hide the hair he is missing from the stress…or it could be the result of the cucumber diet he is on. Jesse keeps himself busy and is the local “workout” poster boy, if he is not at work look for him at the gym.

SSgt Jeff Moore: Jeff put in his time in the Pubs shop and playing Beer Pong. Jeff has since separated and took a job in Charleston. Good luck Jeff.

Mr. Tim Ablay: Mr. Ablay spends allot of quality quiet time up in TRK. When not recuperating from back surgery (not on pain killers) he tends to string together a coherent sentence or two at flight meetings.

Mr. Dean Pickering: Dean is in TRK working courseware and is dreading the move downstairs which means he loses his window seat. It is rumored that Dean is on the South Beach Diet, but Shane thinks he’s trying to lose weight by merely talking about trying to lose weight.

12 ALTUS AFB, OK

54 ARS

Greetings from Altus Oklahoma. I am pleased to introduce the schoolhouse instructors. Most of the things written will make no sense to anyone outside of Altus because the booms decided it would be really cool to write this year’s signal input at Animals in the Woods. About 50 cases of beer later the handful of individuals, who were drooling uncontrollably but still conscious, managed to put some thoughts on paper. I promised them I would not edit the input if it were written in good taste. Unfortunate they did not uphold their end of the bargain so I could not uphold my end.

Altus has booms assigned to 4 different locations: 54 ARS, 97 OSS, 97 TRS, and AMCAOS Det 2. SMSgt Mike Morris is the 97 TRS Superintendent and has the most booms outside the 54 ARS.

What are we up to: We are working very hard to produce a highly knowledgeable, skilled, and capable initial and instructor qualified aircrew members. We are taking an in-depth look into how we produce students at every level. Vince Lombardi said, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and I agree with him. Unfortunately I am not convinced “it” isn’t broken. We are using models that haven’t changed in 20, 30, 40 years. We are doing manual Form F’s when we have 2 computers on the airplane. We are using paper training folders when the rest of the world is using Facebook. We are preparing instructors for the units to be equal parts platform and OJT instructors. This model was established pre-CBT when the units needed platform instructors to teach the annual systems classes to a room full of pissed off boomer operators sitting “Alert”. Now everything is CBT based and that will not change. The primary instruction in operational units is on the airplane, specifically MCT, re-qual, currency, pre-CFIC, failed checkride. The few things listed are just the tip of the iceberg. I believe we can produce both initial and instructor boom operators who possess higher skill, knowledge, and capabilities than we currently deliver. This may seem awfully ambitious … maybe we can and maybe we can’t. At a minimum you know where the sights are set. Fly the aircraft.

//Signed// SHAWN M. HUGHES, CMSgt, USAF 54 ARS/CEM

13 The 54 ARS Boom Operators in no particular order:

TSgt Lee Adkins: We lost Nate Hackney but got Buddy Lee, the Air Force’s answer to downsizing. Recently back from the NCOA with DG. We aren’t sure if that is Distinguished Graduate or head Done Grown bigger than we ever imagined.

MSgt Nancy Primm: Recently moved out of scheduling, suppose she will have to give up her GASSR 01 call sign and let someone else fly with the boss. She likes to wedge herself in between all sorts of things. Why is the boom extended? Nancy is on her way to MacDill in the fall.

TSgt Joe Blakley: After getting here from Fairchild he bought the western side of Oklahoma so he had enough space to raise his 1,000 kids. We like to call him Octo-dad.

TSgt Ivan Rasmussen: If you are looking for Razz just check any mission planning room where there is a female student. Altus PD, Security Forces and the SARC refer to it as sexual harazzment, completely harmless yet totally creepy. When the most interesting man in the world had his awkward moment just to see what it felt like, he had it with Razz. He is a recent addition to the Brokeback boom club.

SSgt Jake Jewell: The Juggernaut! If he had his way pressure AR, and practice separations and limits demo’s without disconnect capability would be an annual training requirement. He managed to add six horsepower to his Dodge just by adding chrome flames.

SSgt Heath Tuma: They asked Heath if he would rather get the HIV or orders to Altus. He asked for the HIV. Welcome to Altus buddy! If you are still looking for the HIV ask Sparky, he seems to know the medical status of random people.

SSgt Marcus Barnes: Marcus has had quite the year! He wrote the book on loading 6290lb pallets on a KC-135 and then he tested the stopping power of a concrete barrier on his motorcycle. He went through requal after being DNIF but he wasn’t satisfied. He tired CFIC again and then BIQ. He would have come to Animals but because he is back in BBOC he is considered a “student”. He is doing well with his new insta-family even though his stepson has a deeper voice than he does.

SSgt Ben Davis: He let the dogs out, and they died. He was recently appointed as the squadron pubs monitor, after his pubs were hit with a no-notice pubs check. He will argue the outcome of beer pong ‘til the death, but will still lose.

SSgt Kurt Hinson: He has a brand new 4 wheeler for sale if anyone is interested, not a speck of dirt on it. He tried to tow his house with his 12 foot trailer, it didn’t work. Kurt is splitting his time between pushing students and Honor Guard.

SSgt Augie Marshall: Brokeback boom with Lifer. He went on convalescent leave and now looks like a cross between the Unabomber and Bin Laden. He cannot say exactly how he hurt his back but the rumor is ...

14 SrA Jeremy Pretty: Look for him at www.peopleofwalmart.com. If you missed him there just check out the local middle school with Razz. He is the only guy to ever volunteer for a TCN deployment only to be turned down by the Chief. We all worry he will break his ankle again just by walking. When he tells people he is in the military people don’t believe him. He still owes Tuma a new shirt after he had a slobbergam on it at Animals after Dandar threatened to punch him in the face.

MSgt Jon Harston: We don’t want to say anything to mean because we are afraid his wife will kick our ass. He quit smoking 4 days prior to his PT test to improve his run time only to light up half way through. He is the only 40 year old white guy that listens to rap. Someone tell him he can’t be Vanilla Ice and drive a mini-van, he will have to choose.

MSgt Jeremiah Docken: Our ABOA President! He is trying to use association money to get in good the outgoing Command Chief but we won’t let him. He didn’t come out to Animals because we had to drive on roads to get there. SMSgt Morris was happy he didn’t show since at the fall animals Doc decided roads were optional and almost ran over his head.

MSgt Joe Wilkins: Joe has a knack for endin’ every word in the English dictionary with n’. He figured out that you can’t average out an EQ and a Q-3 for two Q-‘s. Alzheimer’s is setting in because he got jacked up on the flightline for not having any form of military ID (no ID card, no line badge, no driver’s license). When he was asked to empty his pockets he had to ask for a 5 gallon bucket to hold everything but an ID.

TSgt TJ Sinclair: Our walking P90X manchild. He had tears of appreciation when his prayers were answered and he was allowed to Facebook at work. He currently holds the Facebook record for posting the most P90X before and after photos’s which were immediately hidden by 5,986,089,476 Facebook users.

SSgt Lamar Daniel: He is still sacred of Ben Davis’ house. We don’t know why, he has a permanent spot reserved on the couch. He must think we are mad at him for puking but at least he had the decency to vomit in a trash can unlike Matt Calisi.

SSgt Mike Fagan: He is Marcus Barnes’ biggest fan. Damn Mike, we’re sorry, that was whack!

SSgt Dustan Foret: Our Big Foot. We have seen pictures of him but never see him out at parties. Total metrosexual, has an outfit to match everything he owns. He put big ‘ol mud tires and spinner rims on his 4 wheeler just so he could keep it on pavement.

SSgt Dan Maas: Mass signed his INIT INSTR Form 8 when he got back here. Our commander had to R&C him for Kadena and Altus. Dan is our fastest fat dude; he ran a half marathon that included a pit stop in less than 2 hours flat. Will someone other than him please laugh at his jokes?

SSgt Chris Massey: Who the hell is Chris Massey?

SSgt Mike Miranda: Mike has dreams of one day slipping into the officer corps but he can’t seem to meet the entry requirements. We are all so proud of Mike for being the 2010 Altus High Prom King. Has anyone noticed that his Adam’s apple sticks out further than his nose?

15 CMSgt Shawn Hughes: Apparently Einstein was wrong. E can’t equal MC2 because apparently A equals E, or was it C? He enjoys the occasional pedicure/manicure and refuses to take his precious locks to the barber shop in the BX. We keep following him even though we ran out of bread crumbs months ago.

TSgt Ben Cobb: FU BEN COBB! Ben is the proud new father of twins. He has been known to make the occasional CFIC candidate cry or even break a garage door after being called a bitch. He single-handedly brought back the helicopter dance at the last symposium. He also introduced himself to Chief Hughes by calling him a f***ing prick. Ben has coined the phrase SH-TAY! He prides himself in making Dandar crymax and leave the last 2 animals in the woods but was quick to take it all back when he needed Dan’s Toyota to pull his Jeep out of the mud.

(T)Sgt Ryan Perry: Now that Poteet is gone Ryan is filling the compensator void. He went out and got some big mud tires only to go to Animals and get stuck Lee deep in mud. He is the only guy who takes 5 minutes to be serious for only 1 minute. He also mortified Morgan Hinson by catching a brown trout in Lake Altus.

TSgt Dan Beecher: Dan is working on his 2nd Altus Code 50 without a PCS. He figured out that plastic wrap and rubber bands weren’t a form of birth control so he got the snip. Too late, he is stuck paying child support to Marcus.

SSgt Dave Thoresen: Dave is the quite one in the corner you need to keep an eye on. It is hard to say exactly what he is thinking; it could be that he has cracked the code for time travel or maybe he is thinking just how much he likes Dan’s blue Toyota. Either way, when he does chime in it is usually off the top rope.

SSgt Nate Gibbs: The Renaissance man. Ladies love him and dudes want to be him. Why … because ladies love him. If you see Foret and Gibbs on the same day you had better go buy a lottery ticket because it is your lucky day; you have just done something nobody else assigned to the 54th has done in years.

(M)Sgt Jason Larimore: On his way to AFIT this summer assuming he can get off his profile. He recently joined the Altus Brokeback Association and is taking some awesome drugs. He sits at his desk and drools uncontrollably while looking at a blank computer screen.

SSgt Bruce Berglund:

TSgt Rob Hansen: Rob is looking to transition to UAV’s. He wants to sit in an air conditioned trailer somewhere in the middle of the desert in Nevada and fly a remote control airplane over a desert in the Middle East. I recommend he decorate his UAV cubical with some pictures out the boom window.

TSgt Aaron Widener: Aaron cheated this year and picked up a stripe thru STEP. Not sure exactly how he pulled that off considering it is very obvious Kim runs his show. He is single dad’in it while Kim is at NCOA and they will be packing up the 3 kids and heading to MacDill in October.

TSgt Phil Landram: Super tactics dude. He is the CAPEX,MAFEX, SIXKS, MLO, EI)(*^&, +_(IKL squadron guru but he does have a pretty sweet Dodge station wagon.

16 MSgt Brian Quam: The fiddle playin equivalent of Jimi Hendrix … the dude can make that fiddle whistle dixie. Rumor has it he took his fiddle down to Georgia looking for the devil. Brian is moving out of training flight and will be the squadron’s 1st Sgt; he will always offer a Kleenex and a shoulder to cry on.

(M)Sgt Chris Rueckert: Is there anything this dude can’t do. Runs the boom assn, scheduling, taking 12 bachelors classes per semester, is on every wing committee, is the grand pooba of the Elks Club, teaches Sunday school, and runs a used car lot (oh no, that’s Docken’s). Anybody have the over/under on whether or not he can make every stripe 1st try?

SSgt Chris Joyce: Considering he is from Arizona he should know the negative consequences associated with jumping a boundary fence. Sometimes life’s lessons are best learned the hard way. Chris is still trying to figure out how Morris and Foret seem to get endless kitchen passes to go hunting. Every time he asks to go hunting he ends up doing the dishes.

SSgt James Lifer: Original member of the Brokeback boom (Lifer, Marshall, Rasmussen, Larimore). The doc’s cracked his back open and did some of this and some of that. He has been on his back for about 6 months now and only a gypsy with a crystal ball has the answer to when he will be back up on status.

SSgt Eric Leclerc: Moved to the OSS and is in current ops. He finished his bachelors and is working on an OTS package. Good luck Frenchie, every officer needs a little boom in them.

SSgt Shonna Calisi: What can you say about Shonna … lots of things come to mind … hard headed, stubborn, bull headed, opposite of flexible, if it isn’t my way it isn’t right. Scheduling is the perfect place for Shonna and she is driving the officers nuts … it’s a win – win combination.

MSgt Matt Calisi: Just came back from the TRS training shop. Spent his days and nights working student syllabus issues. Exactly what he accomplished is a bit of a mystery but whatever it was he was busy doing it. Matt will spend the next 7 months running Stan/Eval until he and Shonna pack up and head to Kadena.

MSgt Frank Antenson (AMCAOS Det 2): Angry Frank is his ornery self. He kind of makes Yosemite Sam look like a pussy cat. Frank had shoulder surgery and is on the mend. With some luck he will fly one more time before he has to retire.

SMSgt Mike Conner: Mike is just coming back to the 54th following 17 straight years in OGV’s around the world. He is the ops supt and will be running herd over the flightline instructors. This is his second schoolhouse tour so it is like coming home.

CMSgt Bruce Zahn (97 OG/CCC): Chief Zahn is enjoying the good life recovering from neck surgery. They went in thru the front of the neck to fuse his vertebrae together. Thank goodness for narcotics. I don’t know if neck issues gain him admission into the Brokeback boom … hhhhmmmm? He kept his blackberry and still manages to knockout a few hundred e-mails a day.

HQ AMCAOS DET 2

Greetings to all from HQ AMC Air Operations Squadron Detachment Two, home of the KC-135 SIMCERT program. Det 2’s primary mission is to certify all KC-135 Operational Flight Trainers (OFTs), Boom Operator Part Task Trainers (BOPTTs) and the boom Cargo Load Trainer (CLT).

Currently the two BOPTTs at Altus are the primary trainers for KC-135 Boom Operator qualification courses. The BOPTTs have been around for quite some time and may be replaced very soon by the AETC Boom Operator Weapon System Trainers (BOWST) that are currently finishing development and testing. The CLT continues to be the cargo training workhorse for BIQ initial checks and remains an excellent training device.

Air Mobility Command is currently working with its contractor CymStar to build the first boom operator continuation training device. Installation of this device at McConnell AFB, KS will be in the next 16 months. AMC plans to acquire eight more devices and base them throughout the CONUS and two OCONUS locations after testing and SIMCERT of the McConnell device. Mission Certification, Qualification and Continuation training, plus systems abnormal/emergency procedures training can all be taught and future growth will include connectivity with the Pilot’s OFT and receiver aircraft simulators.

The future of boom operator flight training will be dependent on the success of these devices and should save the tax payers a lot of money. The AMC BOWST will let you ‘experience’ emergencies in a realistic yet safe environment so when things go wrong in-flight you have been there done that and can safely deal with the situation. Thanks to all you warriors out there flying the line, living the dream and doing great things.

Fly Safe.

NORTHROP-GRUMMAN GTIMS

Greetings from the Altus GTIMS Site Support Office! Yes, Northrop Grumman has an office at Altus AFB. The 97 AMW began using GTIMS back in January 2010, and we are responsible for keeping GTIMS running. We also train the schedulers and instructors how to use GTIMS. Rumor has it that we are to blame for the unfortunate and untimely demise of CAASS at Altus. All we can say is… No comment! 

Here is our line-up… like, forever.

Thomas Glosser, (TSgt, Retired – KC135/KC-10) GTIMS Site Manager: Tom was last seen working in 97 OSS Current Operations before he retired from active duty in 2009. He spent two semesters at Western Oklahoma State College then got picked up by Northrop Grumman to set up this awesome new program called “GTIMS” at Altus AFB. Our resident coffee aficionado, Tom loves to drink coffee and tell KC-10 stories... Hey Tom! How long have you been out of the Gucci jet? Can’t we talk about the weather or something?

James “Jaws” Bautista (TSgt, Retired – KC-135) GTIMS Site Support: Jim retired back in 2007 from the 54 ARS here at Altus. Ever the gypsy, Jaws did a short stint as a security guard at the Altus AFB Main Gate, before landing a Civil Service job in Current Ops. He was there for about a year when we selected him as our “first round draft pick.” We also had the “player to be named later” option appended to his job offer. Poor Jaws still loves his Texas Longhorns, but has a serious conflict of interest… He’s got 2 children attending Oklahoma University on scholarship. So, while Jaws bleeds burnt orange, he sports the OU Dad shirt every once in a while. As you might imagine, things get pretty interesting in the Bautista household during college football season.

KC-135 ATS BOOM INSTRUCTORS

Greetings from the Civilian Boom Association.

Updates

Both BOWST devices are in the simulator bay and still awaiting Air Force acceptance. Today we heard there are only 25 more discrepancies to be fixed. We are hoping for completion by the time Block 60 is implemented. 

The end of July 09 found Mr. George Dion being diagnosed with a brain tumor. George had surgery at a renowned cancer center in Dallas Texas and we are wishing him the best. George is presently at his home in Hobart, Oklahoma. We continue to help him when needed and keep him in our thoughts.

In January we experienced a “freak ice storm” that incapacitated the local area. Damage was extensive and the schedule was interrupted for 7 training days before being able to return the students to class. Power was out for about a week here in town (base was out for 9 days). Some county locations were without power for about 3 weeks, generator sales skyrocketed in Texas and Oklahoma

There is still no official word on a new tanker buy, so job security for KC-135 training is still looking good.

Our Current Personnel Roster

Phil Blaisse: Since Phil moved back into “The City”, the stories have become boring. However, there were a couple of power outage “generator” stories that amused us. “Why can’t I wire my 220V dryer into my generator?” With 15 people living in his house during the “ice storm” he needed a dryer!! Phil and Mitch went to Sturgis in August 09 and they rode their bikes the entire way with Phil only running out of gas once. They do seem to enjoy their annual pilgrimage. Phil is always ready to volunteer whenever we need someone for something.

Eddie Cole: Eddie loves these electronic pubs. He stays busy teaching students whatever they need to learn. Seems to always be able to infiltrate the students and gain their trust. He knows all the student gossip. Between students and union steward duties he stays pretty busy these days.

20 Terry Daffern: Terry is still busy getting his house remodeled (years in the making) and it is looking good. Now that it’s golfing season again, Terry can be found on the course immediately after work. That driver is still working well for him now that he has learned to swing it rather than throw it.

Chico Gallegos: Chico’s “storm-reporting” kept him real busy during the “ice storm” while the rest of us stayed home and tried to stay warm without any electricity. The students are constantly requesting him to be their instructor.

Roger Gossett: Still has the same truck, any day now it should be replaced. He and Lew stayed here this year rather than making their annual skiing pilgrimage to Colorado, I guess they saw enough ice and snow here to last awhile.

Brad Hamann: Brad had elbow surgery and couldn’t do BOPTTs for a while so we picked on him to do courseware, consoles and academics. He has been able to stay away from the cigarettes and keeps his motorcycle upright for the most part.

Al Miller: Al still throws KC-10 comments around to get a rise out of us – we’re getting immune to it. He took 4th place overall in the “over 50” Oklahoma Cross Country Motorcycle Racing (OCCRA) class last year. This year he took 1st place in the first race then quit (while he was ahead we figure). As union president he stays pretty busy with numerous endeavors. Al still enjoys “stirring the pot” and updating any T.O or regulation he can find. Al did scheduling for a couple of weeks and lost some more hair which he really couldn’t afford.

Rick Raprager: Stays busy shining his Harley and trying to keep the -9 straight. The Air Force wants to keep the FMRC each year during Boom Symposium time frame so they only agree to a portion of his changes. Still the resident expert on cargo matters.

Jim Reese: “Green acres is the place to be” ..… Jim spent three or four weeks using generator power. Now he’s going “nuts” and installing Dish networks, sound surround systems etc. (talk about happy to have power back again). He’s still into the ranching / farming life and very proficient with a chainsaw, tractor and other ranching implements. It’s time for Horse shows again so he’s gone somewhere in the state every weekend now. Got launched off his horse last year and still trying to decide whether or not to have surgery for the shoulder.

Marty Sabourin: Marty sold off his interest in the restaurant. We figured he just didn’t want to have to move into the high dollar home section (behind Wal-Mart) from making all that money. Marty volunteered to get back into teaching the instrument procedures courses. He has actually driven his Corvette a few times recently it must have at least 100 miles on it by now.

Lew Timbrook: Lew is now working on the Paramedic course – we call him Dr. Lew. Now that we are wise to him taking every Friday off, he threw us a curve and takes various days off during the week as well “go figure”. Lew lives out in the country too and was without power for several weeks. All those country living guys seem to want some sort of permanent generator backup system now. Lew always volunteers when we need someone, we need more like him!

21 Joe Surovy: Joe is on his “history-making” second year as Boom Association President (normally we switch each year). Joe has been pretty busy trying to teach Al and Brad the cargo loading course specifics (a full time job obviously). Joe’s big diesel truck has a problem recently, you’d be amazed at the amount of suggestions you can get from an office full of Boom Operators … lol. If Joe’s metabolism ever slows down (and he keeps eating like he does) it’ll only take about a week for him to reach 300 pounds.

Steve Tuttle: Steve is still busy scheduling the other guys to work. He continues to attempt to race dirt bikes - “somebody has to come in last”. He still figures Al wants to move up on the “seniority” list in case of Steve’s race crashes. Steve really enjoyed that power outage, he said “it was sort of like camping in your own living room, not working for 7 days and getting paid anyway” (he had a couple of generators though).

Mitch Malseed: Went to Sturgis with Phil again in 09 and they both rode their bikes the whole way this year. Mitch spent the longest of any of us without power. Being out in the country the power company apparently forgot them for awhile. Mitch did give his new generator a thorough workout however - his house is all electric.

Other Retired Booms in the area

Chuck Stewart: Chuck retired in December, now he flies radio controlled airplanes while waiting on golfing season to arrive. Chuck had a few trees in his back yard that didn’t survive the ice storm either.

George Dion: George had to retire in January. We are wishing him well.

Dean Pickering: Dean is waiting on Rocky Racoma to get back from Kadena (Fall time-frame probably). Dean (being civil service) has to surrender his job back to Rocky who had “return rights”. Dean will be staying here in another job capacity although he isn’t sure exactly what that will be yet. For the time being however, he is still keeping us straight.

36 MOBILITY RESPONSE SQUADRON

36 CONTINGENCY RESPONSE GROUP (CRG)

Greetings from the tropical paradise of Guam where thhe sun shines year round! The first six months of the year went by slowly, but the last half of the year more than made up for the lull with humanitarian relief deployments and presidential support. If you ever come through Guam look us up and we’ll be happy to join you for some cold beverages.

MSgt Richard L. Anderson: Arrrived in November ’09 from the FTU at Travis. His goal is to never get qualified in the CRG and so far he’s been doing a pretty good job of it. He misses the KC- 10 and flying. Spends most of his days reminiscing about life before the CRG and is counting down the days until retirement in fall of 2011.

TSgt Andrea C. Inmon: Doesn’t know what work is because she’s always on leave….at least according to her boss. Always TDY on the good trips and spends more time studying at work then dooing actual work…that’s why she’s now a MSgt at 8 1/2 years. Just got orders to Altus and can’t wait to get back to teaching students.

PCS’d

MSgt Jon (JD) Harston: He was so happy to get once last TDY, but after five days of walking through mud and knee deep water in Chuuk his only demand was to have some dry boots and an immediate PCS. He left in October and has moved on to bigger and better things at Altus.

CMSgt Frankie “Rocky” Rollins: [email protected] Program Manager IT folks at Andrews have been working on Rocky’s computer for months and have yet to find out why his email is in READ ONLY mode…just kidding Chief-sort of… Rocky loves NASCAR, Kung-fu; or some sort of killing of goats by staring at them form of martial arts. He probably does need defensive technique skills living in the People’s Republic of Maryland and working inside the ADW AOR….CBO

SMSgt William “big paddy” Gray: [email protected] Bill is our highest ranking Reservist Boom and leads the way for us schlubs. Unfortunately, he spends most of his time looking over his shoulder when he descends a flight of stairs. Bill is an iphone guy and I think he secretly works for CNET based on all the tech gadgets he brings in. Bill and I both love the movie Jackie Brown and he quotes it to a tee. The “Beaumont” scene is worthy of a monthly viewing alone…Bill threatens to get married soon...BSC

SMSgt Debbie “still hasn’t given us any juice” Merrill: [email protected] Our Stan/Eval Art. Debbie misses Portland so much she recently upgraded her Portland issued Subaru Outback for a brand new Subaru Outback. I’m fairly certain it’s mandatory to own this vehicle in Portland, but this cannot be confirmed. Debbie is extremely busy getting us all prepared for our ASEV.

SMSgt Kevin “Well…” Beccard: [email protected] Kevin Beccard…Boom God. Kevin handles anything and everything for all us booms. Unlike the Chief, his keyboard actually has a “send” button! Most humans are 70% water; however, Kevin is at least 40% Mountain Dew with remaining 30% Miller Lite…a true anomaly.

MSgt Erika “X-PO-NEN-CHA-LEE” Macias: [email protected] Our tactical poser boom, Erika completed a lengthy tour of duty with her civilian gig in Afghanistan. She has yet to complete her kitchen re-model… just pick a granite countertop already!! Erika is one cat short of being the “crazy cat lady”…if you’ve received a pix message text of Joey Boots, I feel your pain. “LOL!”

MSgt Karen “KL” Letourneau: [email protected] KL flies the line and also serves as the 756th First Shirt. She fills the boots (or heels) nicely. KL reminds me daily that she is 18, 17, 16 (you get the picture) days from receiving her 20-year retirement letter. I have no response to that!! Would somebody promote her to Senior so she can hop back aboard the pain train for a few more years…DILLIGAF

24 MSgt Daril “Dudley” Anthes: [email protected] Daril continues his work as an ART in Training Flight, and has been working hard to get us all ready for our deployment this Spring/Summer. Hey Daril, is there a Tier”2C” training we need to know about??? When he’s not hitting the “forward” button on his computer to remind us there has been more training items added to the list for deployers and NON-deployers – he enjoys baking bread with his supervisor. Just saying….

MSgt Karim “IED” Kronfli: [email protected] Karim STILL insists his nickname is “Dallas” but has basically agreed to answer to any city in Texas (Ft. Worth, Amarillo, and Lubbock are good ones if you see him out on the road). He enjoys a good joke when he “gets it!!” Karim was recently hired as an ART and is in our Anti-Terrorism Officer, Security Manager, and Force Protection Guru. Seen any terrorists? Contact this guy…

TSgt Willie “Super Fly” Cooper: [email protected] Willie is one of our full-time Reservists and flies constantly, and the squadron couldn’t fill our TDY missions without him. Willie, ever the optimist, is now convinced the Redskins will rule the NFC east with the acquisition of Donovan McNabb. I figure, heartbreak occurs around mid-October…Don’t worry man, I’m pulling for ya. Hail to the Redskins…Hail Victory…

TSgt Chris “Och” Ochoa: [email protected] It still takes a lot of energy to be Och. Responsible for the P90x Revolution that is sweeping the squadron. I have seen him take the elevator to the second floor…mind boggling. And for the record, Double Stuff Oreos aren’t part of the P90x diet. I have found his weakness, Superman’s was kryptonite, Batman’s was Robin, and for Och, well, it’s Oreo’s. Don’t get in between a Mama bear and her cub…same rule applies for Och and his Oreo’s.

TSgt Ken “slow your roll Skippy” Clonts: [email protected] If anyone calls me Skippy, it’s “GO TIME!” Since Ken sent this out for a quick read…one couldn’t refuse to type a few words about young Skippy. As an avid motorcycle enthusiast, Ken could barely wait for the ice to melt before putting his HOG on the road. There’s nothing like seeing the boys arrive for drill weekend with icicles hanging from their little red noses…YCMTSU

TSgt Michelle “TDY” Spencer: [email protected] Michelle is a cop, don’t mess with her. I have yet to see her eat a donut in my presence so I’m still not convinced she is a police officer. I shall bring donuts this UTA to once again test her. It has come to our attention that Michelle is in need of adult supervision while TDY because she seems to fall off the monkey bars at the play ground. Congrats to Michelle on her promotion to TSgt.

SSgt Dana “Band Camp” Fernkas: [email protected] Dana seems to love desert flights and the beach, err, well, sand anyway…. She says she enjoys the swish-swish of her PT shorts. Don’t watch a Ravens game with her unless you are prepared to take a few punches, donkey kicks, or fists to the chest. And that’s when they are winning…Hey Dana, too bad they dropped Stover! Laces out….

25 SSgt Geoff “GEEEEEE-off” Richardson: [email protected] Geoff finally finished his ALS correspondence course! I know, we are still in state of shock as well, but congrats are in order. Geoff was hired as an ART this fall and is our boom scheduler. Marriage can be defined as a romance novel where the hero gets killed in the first chapter…but Geoff didn’t buy my definition and married Kim in 2009.

SrA Matthew “Obi” Oberlin: [email protected] Obi is no longer our brand new boom. He’s interested in becoming an ART in the squadron…and should be picked up soon. Someone should have told him not to drink the kool-ade. Obi stays under the radar and hasn’t given us much fodder….yet.

A1C Corey “Sid” Thomas: [email protected] Sid recently completed all his training and is now a MB. Sid will get his first taste of deployment soon. If you should see young Sid taping up a box…don’t worry when he tells you he is emailing it. He thinks if he sets it close to the computer it will magically be sent…One misspoken word sticks forever, Sid!

A1C Daniel “no nickname yet” King: [email protected] Daniel just arrived this week from Altus, OK. Never met him, don’t know him, but I’m sure he’s swell…at least in this issue. MTF

Gone

TSgt Steve Gasper: Steve moved to NC/TN and lives with his wife, Molly and recently had a baby boy, Wyatt. He’s now affiliated with local law enforcement down there….hummm!

26 NATIONAL GUARD BUREAU

ARLINGTON, VA

ANG BOOM FUNCTIONAL MANAGER

It’s been another challenging, rewarding and, yes, at times frustrating year. It’s hard to believe I’ve been here two years already. In that time we’ve taken on some very difficult issues. I’d like to thank all of you for your support, advice, patience and friendship as I’ve learned my way around the maze here.

The Air National Guard is continuing to go through a period of unprecedented change. As we transition from a strategic reserve to an operational reserve we are also challenged with the complexities of Total Force Integration. These two dynamics alone can keep the antacid industry in business. Then we add the natural disasters that many of you have been involved with, the ongoing Ops tempo, the increased training demands, an aging aircraft, manpower issues and grade restructuring. It has been quite a roller coaster of a year. Fast paced with sudden changes in direction and plenty of ups and downs thrown in for good measure.

As I reflect on the past year, I’m once again reminded of the truly amazing people I’m fortunate enough to work with. Your patriotism, fortitude and dedication are remarkable. The future is certain to bring additional challenges, and yes, more change. I look forward, confident in the fact that Boom Operators will continue to meet and exceed the expectations placed upon them. Chief Santos continues to do an outstanding job representing the enlisted aviators of the Air National Guard. His leadership and guidance have proven instrumental as we forge ahead in this increasingly challenging environment.

Once again, I’ll leave you with a few words of wisdom,

Never lose sight of “where to stick it” and always remember “it’s our job to pass gas”.

Fly safe,

“THE MAINEiacs”

Greetings from the Maineiacs. Back from the AEF (Turkey and Caracao ) full of Chicken Tava and good Carribean Rum, “Almost free Habi” and keeping the skies safe for Democracy.

A snap, crackle and pop to all from Battle Creek, Michigan, home of the 110th AMOS and Kellogg’s. The 110th Air Mobility Operations Squadron is starting from scratch and will be the premier AMOS supporting the new Africa Command. We captured a few of our new Boom Operators and will have several more for next year’s edition as we grow.

SMSgt Jeffery Rooding: A CMSgt in a former life, he is trying to keep one step ahead of the law. After 19 years with the 927th ARW/63 ARS at Selfridge ANGB and MacDill AFB, he ran into Reserve High Year Tenure. He took a voluntary demotion and crossed over to the Air National Guard joining the 123rd CRG in Louisville, Kentucky. Six months later, Jeff was hired by the U.S. Army as a civilian Logistics Specialist back home in Michigan, and transferred to the 110th AMOS as a traditional guardsman making the drive a lot easier. He still works part time at 618th TACC, Scott AFB, as the Stage Management guru.

SMSgt Stephen Munt: Coming on board in July from the 157 ARW, Steve will be attached to the 756 ARS (AFRC) at Andrews for flying.

“HOME OF THE BAMA BOOMS”

Hello again from the BAMA booms, deep in the “Heart of Dixie”, Birmingham, AL. Wow, what a year for us in 2009! We hope that 2010 will be a better year for us. We’ve gone through inspection after inspection and somehow we’ve managed to still be here. Imagine that! We have spent many hours retraining the “old heads” and training our “new heads” in Block 40 conversion. Now we have an active duty association attached to us and let me tell you, this is quite an adjustment. Just about the time we get things figured out, it changes. We are still trying to cope with all the new face changes. New Commanders, new aircraft commanders and everyone else that thinks they should be a commander. The NAVs are good as gone, finally, again. So, if you are ever south of the Mason- Dixon Line, stop in for some great southern hospitality. Hope to see ya’ll soon.

The 2010 106 ARS “Bama Booms” Are

CMSgt Len Naugher: IRPM: Chief Boom: Tactics Guru: IG Team Member: Keeper of the Alert Schedule: President of Wayward Boom Foundation: Certified Aircraft Mechanic: Civilian Jet Pilot: A & P Mechanic and IA Inspector: New Sheriff: (Technician, GS-11 Supervisor) Len has taken the reins from Butch and now is driving the machine at Birmingham. It was the only thing left that he hasn’t done! Rumor has it he will be taking the “Wing Commander’s” Test in Oct 2010. He has his eyes on a 2- star position at state headquarters. He is in a constant lean… always forward. He doesn’t have much hair left, and with a little help, all of that will be gone before long. He doesn’t have big eyes like Butch did either. Seriously, he just took over and is going to do a great job for all of us. Congratulations are in order!!

SMSgt Rick (Did you see that fish jump?)Dillard: (AGR) Well, he’s still in STAN/EVAL, just until the ASEV in Feb 11. Then it’s on to a better job. He was hoping to be the trash man on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it’s on to the training arena. You can find him fishing, fishing and fishing when he’s not fishing around here. He still has a 4:30 appointment most days. Something about a Silver Bullet Factory…

SMSgt Caroline (“Granny”) Bearden: (Technician) Caroline was finally located again in scheduling but now is headed to the vault again. She still has the same hair color and hasn’t changed it in almost 4 years now. I think being a grandmother three times has put a damper on her hair coloring. She was last seen with three grandchildren hanging off of her Jeep that she bought from Shane. She spends a lot of time with the grandchildren as she should and is enjoying every minute of her time…away from here. Also, she is the “Birmingham Rock Throwing Champion”. Just ask the cops in Turkey. MEOW!!!!

33 MSgt Paul(Hey Rick, “It’s 4:30!”) Hudson: (Technician) Paul is doing an outstanding job in Current Ops. He is the resident computer GURU and is always heads-down in current ops. Always busy. He likes 4:30 also. Started a new career in camping, until a moron wrecked his truck and now he can’t pull his camper anywhere. He is seen many days with his head hanging into the door and asking Rick if it’s 4:30 yet. He still knows the combination to “THE DOOR”!!!!

MSgt A.J. (Is it time for my testing yet?) Sharit: (Traditional Guardsman) AJ is always ready to test. He spends numerous hours just asking STAN/EVAL if he can take a test. He always has a positive attitude and a joy to be around. He finally graduated CFIC. He worried himself almost to death because he didn’t have any other way to continue his life-long dream….. “To shop around the world, four times as an IB”. This will be AJ’s fourth tour of the world shopping circuit. He has numerous degrees in shopping. Ultimately, the best I’ve ever seen. He can out-walk many women. He got another checklist the other day. He found his keys he had lost in the Azores. A great dude…

MSgt Steven (Sad-sack Airways) Pickett: (Traditional Guardsman) Steve is doing fine. He’s in and out here with us. He works for a local bottling company as their aircraft mechanic & pilot. Steve, tell us more about the dispenser on the right of the galley on that Learjet? What’s in it? He has started a flying school...”Sad-sack Airways”… Always has something going on. He just surpassed Bill Gates as the busiest and richest man in the world. Now, if only he can find time to fill out a travel voucher in a timely manner. He has more money than it takes to burn nine dead wet mules at one time.

MSgt Todd (The Clown-man #1) Murray: (Technician) Todd is our current Training GURU. On a recent hunting trip, he was field dressing a deer when his knife slipped. He healed up pretty quick but we still hide all the knives in the squadron. His new hobby is “Clowning”. He has been known to “clown” around all hours of the night. He likes 4:30 a lot, maybe too much. Joined a Jeep riding club, Rock throwing club and now is the newest member of the Birmingham Pistol shooting Team…. Oh no…way to go 9-thumbed clown!!

MSgt Phillip (Movie Star 2) Carroll: (Technician) Well, Phil got the job in training, but rumor on the street has him going to STAN/EVAL in the future. He’s only had four jobs in the last three years. (Sounds like someone else we know). Seems he can’t make up his mind which one he wants. The summers past, you could find him basking in the sun in Panama City, all narrow-eyed, eating shrimp and drinking liquids in a glass with umbrellas in them. Probably will not be able to do that much longer---- he will wear the forever insignia of “The Hammer”! He stared in the movie “Broke- Back Altus” with Dan. He’s too scared to like 4:30 anymore… something about a cool, dark place in the country-side or something.

MSgt Dan (Movie Star 1) Graham: (Technician) Dan starred in the movie with Phil Carroll and it won a Boom Academy Grammy Award. Dan finally got promoted to MSgt. We had to do it to keep the IRS from taking him to the slammer for multiple years of tax evasion. The only boom I have known that has married his ex-wife twice. He has two anniversaries and two divorced anniversaries, and they are the same date… and the same woman… Einstein’s brain is still tumbling!

MSgt John (Bean/#2Clown) Freeman: (Traditional Guardsman) Bean WAS our current ultimate fighting champion. He WAS undefeated but finally gave in to a lovely woman working for a private detective agency or something. He finally gave Dan his bull-pin. That’s right! He left it to Dan. He can be found at home cutting grass, still doing dishes and laundry now. Just found out that Bean owns the clown-mask that he and Todd were using. (I hired his wife’s business and they told me). He finally paid me the $25 for bringing his German beer home for him.

34

TSgt Dominic (“TCN”) Angeles: (Traditional Guardsman) After driving a beer truck for years, Dominic is now wishing he was still driving a beer truck. Dominic goes TDY a lot and it seems like everywhere he goes, he fits in with the locals. His TDY name is “TCN”, which means Third Country National. He blends in well. He likes brass poles because rumor has it, he was on one not too long ago. He’s loads of fun!

TSgt Jefferie (The Sponge/Joe Rocket) Grayson: (Traditional Guardsman) We can’t find anything that he doesn’t like! Wait a minute!! He didn’t like CFIC at lovely Altus. Called many times and said he was going to buy a clown-suit real soon, but we talked him out of it quickly. He did graduate and now he is back with us doing a fine job as our newest IB. We just don’t have any booms for him to instruct. Oh well, better luck next time Jeff. Still goes TDY a lot and loves to ride his motorcycle, even in the rain, and cold. He is really a good asset to this unit.

TSgt Scott (King-Pin of the Cullman Militia/#3 Clown) Slatton: (Traditional Guardsman) Scott is now a traveling firearms dealer, chicken coop builder, Clown-man #3, beer maker, Bee keeper, Police Tazer Expert and the newest member of the base shooting team. He has spent all of his per diem for the next five years setting up his new business and paying lawyer fees. He has been known to wear a clown mask also. He still goes TDY often and pulls the alert tour many days a month. He really enjoys the new AD association that has joined us… Just ask him!!

TSgt Wayne (Dr. of Love) Creel: (Traditional Guardsman) Still a tall, fine, skrong looking man. He talks all the time now. He works part-time in the dreaded scheduling shop, so we made him talk. He listens really well, sometimes. Thinks he can hit a softball out of the park. He will be a good asset for us here. Welcome Wayne – Greg or what ever your name is. HOT NEWS!! He WAS single… That’s right… he also is doing dishes, laundry and cooking meals. Congratulations are in order. He has been seen running across the flight-line in his pajama bottoms when the ALERT horn sounds.

SrA Mitchell (No, really, I’m happy to be here) Harwood: (Traditional Guardsman) Mitch is the youngest boom ever at Birmingham. Not even old enough to partake of the Chief’s living spring dark colored water. Caroline took him on his first AE run and she came back with a whole new outlook on training young booms. It sounded like they had a good time in Germany. Now the local police are looking for her… something about being seen with a minor in possession. Oh well, at least they weren’t thrown out of a local joint again. “Cougar meat” is his new TDY name.

SSgt Eric (Holy Cow!) Glidewell: (Traditional Guardsman) Eric came to us by knowing Dan, back in the day. They knew each other when they were in the real war. I don’t think he made a movie with Dan, yet, but Eric always has questions. Asking “Why do I have to do that? etc. He has been on the road just trying to get through the initial training phase. He just shows up at the squadron every now and then and gives us a report of what he’s done. He never calls us and I guess no news is good news. Eric will be a good asset for us here and is a pleasure to work with.

"BLACK KNIGHTS"

SMSgt Mark (W-T-F) Lett: Mark is doing great. He is the leader of the 99ARS bunch and is having a great time keeping up with who is coming next. Been on a few trips with him and he is a blast. We could use him in the guard. Rumor has it he will be retiring in a couple of years. He is fun!

MSgt Dave (Doogie) Keller: This guy is on fire! He is a one man wrecking team. Will be working in STAN/EVAL soon and his fast pace will be welcomed. He’s a great guy and a pleasure to work with.

TSgt Jason (Is it legal for me to do anything?) Hammond: Jason is a brand new boom for the 99th and is looking to get all of his Qual’s completed, when he’s not AWOL. He doesn’t talk very much. I think he is scared of the guard. He always has his head in a computer looking at something. He is from the local area and a southern boy. Looking forward to working with him.

SSgt Kamisha (Big Grin) Smith: This girl always smiles. I have not seen her when she wasn’t smiling. I truly think she has figured out the inside track to the guard. She, too, knows the combination to the “Door”. She is a pleasure to work with and a good IB for the unit. She was employed in the same room as the Chief so, who knows where she will wind up… She may be the Vice- Wing one day.

SSgt Chelsey (Mile-A-Minute) Johnson: This girl can talk! She hasn’t stopped since she walked into the squadron. She can be found riding around Birmingham on her motorcycle, LOST again, missing exit ramps, etc. She will be fine when she gets acclimated to the South. She came from out west somewhere. Will be working in scheduling… (WHEW!!!)

FLIGHT TEST CENTER

“BEST IN TEST”

Fellow Booms,

Hello from Moon Base Alpha. We’ve had a busy year and Flight Test Center booms have led the way with a number of historic test. KC-X back on track…hopefully and we are starting to make plans to support what will probably be the biggest AR test program ever. That said…we have four empty test boom slots that we will be looking to fill in the fall. If you’re interested in joining the team…give us a call. We’ve also hosted two Test Management Courses and have put four booms through this new one of a kind flight test course for CEAs. On a personal note I re-qualed in both tankers, checked-out as a test boom, attended the first Test Management Course, qualified in Speckled Trout and returned from AOR deployment….it’s been a busy year!

We started the year off with the deployment of Test Tanker 1 to Japan to conduct AR testing with the JASDAF F-2 (updated and bigger version of the F-16). This fall we will deploy again with the KC-10. Mildenhall was the location for our next big test… supporting the EF-2000 Typhoon for KC- 10 and KC-135 clearances. Next we conducted testing against the re-engined E-8C at Edwards. The V-22 was the next receiver in search of an AR clearance. We deployed a KC-10 to Pax River to support that effort. We borrowed a Topeka tanker for a few weeks to work on the next step towards refueling unmanned aircraft. These test included close proximity boom tracking test with the Calspan Learjet. Within a few years we’ll be ready for the full-up UAV AR… frightening thought and amazing piece of engineering. As I type these words I’m sitting at Mildenhall getting ready to depart for Sweden for JAS-39 MPRS AR testing. These are just a few of the AR highlights. It’s been a busy year and we’ve added a few more receiver types to the pages of ATP-56B

The F-35 has arrived at Edwards and it promises to be the largest test program ever conducted at Edwards. Because of the increased need of tanker support for F-35 we will be adding a third tanker to our test fleet. In the future, BE crews will play a huge part in supporting this program which is planning to fly six days a week. This is a $350B program…please continue to send your very best booms to support our Business Efforts… this isn’t a training environment for baby booms to cut their teeth on fighters. Every one of our F-16s has a different antenna configuration which offers a challenging obstacle course.

A few words about the new Test Management Course. The TM course is unlike any other CEA training course in that it is taught for both officer (Flight Test Engineers & CEAs). This a two week long course taught at the USAF Test Pilot School by the TPS staff. The syllabus takes a student

40 through the entire test process and culminates briefing a test report covering the class project. The class project is fly-off of five different gliders. This is a hands-on evaluation and each student flies and evaluates 2-3 gliders with a Test Pilot School instructor in the backseat… what blast! Liv Hoornstra was an honor grad competing against some of the biggest brains in the AF. This is one of the main reasons we are looking for Booms with at least a CCAF degree…Bachelors preferred. On the outside this course would cost you close to $35K. We have limited slots available to CEAs from other commands… give us a call.

Finally I have a couple booms I need to thank. Chief Lonnie Hall and all the flight-line and Flight Safety instructors at Altus... thanks for your hospitality and professionalism. What a thrill to be able to attend KC-135 initial training for a second time. It was just like going through Castle again without the stress! The goal is to get as many of our test booms dual qualed as possible. Scott Beasley and I attended KC-135 training and we are actively looking at sending two booms through KC-10 training next year. The re-qual syllabus works best for our test needs… hopefully that’s something we can work out in the future. Five months and $15-20K puts a huge hurt on our tight training/TDY budget. I’m living the Boom Operator’s dream… not only did I re-qual in the -135 but I also had the honor re-qualing in the -10. Big thanks to Tim Holt and all the Travis Flight Safety instructors as well.

We look forward to a busy year with F-35, F-2, Gripen and hopefully starting with KC-X. Stop-by for beer and BBQ if you’re in town.

V/R,

Lou Drummond

CMSgt Luis M. Drummond 412th Operations Group Superintendent Flight Test Boom Operator Edwards AFB, CA 93524 DSN: 525-9122, Com: (661)275-9122

41 412th OG

CMSgt Lou Drummond: “Where’s the Chief?” is the common expression around the Ops Group. If he isn’t flying, TDY, visiting area airshows, or wandering the desert for broken airplanes then we don’t know. Let us know if you find him.

MSgt Tom Ireland: Rescued from AFOTEC and still wondering if the KC-X will ever happen or not. Currently working in the OGV shop trying to decipher exactly what this AFMC thing is all about, plus the occasional flying. That is when he isn’t filling in for the Chief or Shirt.

SSgt Matt Werner: Loves Edwards and AFMC so much that he volunteered to deploy as a TCN monitor. He’s our go-to guy in the OGV shop plus dual-qual’d test expert. When he’s not at work or flying, you can find him on the dusty trail high in the Sierras.

445th FLTS

TSgt Liv Hoornstra: The slave driver has moved on from a life in Training to whipping everyone into shape in scheduling. She has to put in a lot of hours in the office since she never flies for us. That has more to do with a growing family as opposed to skill level.

TSgt Scott Beasley: Now dual qual’d in the KC-10 and KC-135 and equally lost in both. As the sole TODO in Stan/Eval, he helped the squadron excel in our recent A3V evaluation. When he is not struggling to survive the Stan/Eval, his family is struggling to survive the ghettos of Palmdale.

SSgt Lindsay Moon: Taking two classes a year, is on schedule to complete his Bachelors five years after he retires. In-between hogging as many test programs as he can, he fumbles around in the training office, cursing fighter pilots the entire time.

SSgt Jake Sarno: Avoids the office for any excuse his OBGYN will give him. He has been TDY a portion of every month he has been at Edwards which is why no office has permanently laid claim to him. A definite “work horse” when it comes to flying… now if we could just get him in the office!

370th FLTS

SMSgt Mike Kibler: The “old head” has been a permanent fixture at this base since the Question Mark. He swears he is not counting the days to his retirement when he tells you how many years, months, days, and hours he has left. His knowledge is vital to the continuity between our many test programs.

SMSgt Mark O’Connor: Only took four years and a second tour at Edwards to buy a house. We hope he will finish getting settled in over the next four years. He spends most of his time in Spain doing testing with Airbus. He swears he is not milking it for the 165 dollar per diem.

MSgt John Williams: John-Bob is an old guy who came to us from Tyndall. All he does is sit around and tell war stories about the -135 burning water and “that’s not how we did it in SAC”. We all kinda feel sorry for him and will give him the love and attention he needs until he finally retires (hopefully soon!!!).

42 TSgt Scott Scurlock: Left scheduling for the training shop and his blood pressure has dropped 20 percent. He had the bright idea of completing NCO Academy in residence “just for the experience.” How is that bunk-mate and no rental car treating you Scotty???

TSgt Christian “Willey Cat” Willey: (TR) Pat his fur the wrong way and look out! Thinks he’s up for trying CFIC.

44 TSgt Corrie Elmes: (TR) “Damn, lost another one!” Currently putting his big head to use at pilot training.

TSgt Brian Binkley: (AGR) Trying to convince everyone that he will be able to reach the rudder pedals.

TSgt John Beaudreault: (TR) Moved on to greener pastures down in America.

SSgt Rob “O2” Ostrander: (TR) Lost the MEB battle. Now sporting a sweet goatee. He will be missed.

A1C Joshua Hunt: (TR) Tied for newest boom. (the short one)

A1C Jonathan Legan: (TR) Tied for newest boom. (the tall one)

“MASTERS OF THE ART”

MSgt Geoff Potter: (Squadron Superintendent) The “Code 50 Curse” released its grip, so he had to actually deploy and be an operational boom again. He’s had “fun” flying with all the young Booms. They continually show him how it’s really done in the airplane and at Fairchild. After the years of TALCE, CCTS/CFIC, and HQ AMC mind warping torture he endured, we take turns waking him up every day at 1630.

MSgt Greg Patterson: (Operations Superintendent) He finally had his parole approved, and was released from the CRW at McGuire. If he ever gets his house in order, he’ll actually have the furniture delivered from TMO and settle in. For now, he’s enjoying being back in Spokane...or at least storing his stuff here while he’s deployed.

TSgt Joseph Koch: (A-Flt Supervisor) Joe’s a “by the book” instructor and flight super. He’s become adept at pretending to not be appalled by leadership decisions now that he’s a TSgt…usually because he came up with the idea being implemented. Got orders to Mildenhall…we’ll miss his quiet demeanor and calming presence around here.

SSgt Leighann Ray: It’s a full time job keeping A-Ray in line, but she’s up to the task. Making SSgt and graduating ALS has inspired her to keep doing this job for a few more years. Of course, the HUGE tax free bonus for re-enlisting in the AOR influenced the decision…just a little. She’s about to finish her degree and will attend IB upgrade soon. We just wish she would voice her opinion every now and then.

A1C Jeremy Culliton: An extreme sports enthusiast, Jeremy can often be found braving the wild river rapids of the Inland Northwest…in reality he’s just paddling a rented kayak on a calm lake to work up the nerve for the big stuff. We’re getting him studded snow tires, matching pink handlebar streamers, and a remote starter for his Huffy bike…it’s dangerous peddling that thing around up here in the cold snow and low visibility. Winner of the “Mustache March” contest during his first deployment.

A1C Michael Culver: Stealth Boom…always over there. Continues to grow and gain muscle tone like most teenagers do.

A1C Kelly Brooks: She finished MCT and immediately deployed. She’s doing a great job so far. She’s a member of the “Soule Train” fan club.

51 SSgt Aaron Ray: (B-Flt Supervisor) He’s our resident celebrity/cartoon/wing leadership voice impressionist. He’s doing great things as a new IB…he even listens to Leighann when she tells him how to do them (sometimes). We moved him over to OST to train the newbees and keep an eye on MSgt Smith.

SrA Andrew Valence: Andy is progressing well…at least that’s what he tells us when we get him to speak. He will be upgrading to IB in the coming months so all of his common sense will soon cease to exist.

SrA Bryan Wilson: After a mastering the new 1ATCN AFSC, he’s back in the jet and back in the deployment rotation.

A1C Ashley (Shupe) Widney: When not demonstrating the finer techniques of military bearing with the Chief, she can be found enjoying life as a line boom travelling the world…or at least travelling between Fairchild and the AOR. She’s also a newlywed realizing the benefits that tax free living brings to a relationship.

A1C Tazmin Urata: Taz is the squadron artist. When not impressing the ladies with his “pencil” and snow goggles, he can be found carting Culliton and White to all the local hot spots to cruise for chicks. We’re hoping he gets the courage to speak to them one of these days.

SSgt Aaron McLaughlin: (C-Flt Supervisor) “Officer, I wasn’t there.” He’s looking to move on from the Fairchild Freestyle way of life. We hear he has an interview with UFC to be a referee…”No Comment”.

SrA Lawrence Hamel: Larry often looks confused, but we’re pretty sure it’s just a phase.

A1C Benjamin Girtz: “Sir, do you mind if I lay down on this troop seat and text my buds while we’re delayed?” Despite trying to push the limits of casual passenger monitoring techniques while transporting the 18th AF/CC, he was still our nominee for BTZ and continues to excel.

A1C Nicholas Inzana: “Can I have another over the shoulder ride please?” Nick is finally taking control of the job and has put a couple fine deployments under his belt.

A1C Kyle White: We had the doors enlarged so he can fit his massive ego, we mean, muscles through them. As President of the “Team Jacob” look-a-like club, he has to fight off the hoards of tweens every time Taz drives him to the Mall.

SSgt Ken Williams: (Trng-Flt Supervisor) He’s coming off an extended DNIF and always seems to be buried in a training flight project for the pilots. He’s done a fantastic job with the CDC program and has managed to keep plugging along despite his “PT”SD.

SSgt Craig Niswender: He single handedly acquired and installed the finest addition to the Boom Pod in years, and that kegerator would be an awesome device if the commander would ever let us use it. Good place to put magnets though. Academic Achievement and DG award winner from ALS, we may even upgrade him this year.

52 SrA Joseph Webb: Joe will depart the career field in 2010 for greener pastures, and hopefully a greener bank account. Best of luck to you Joe!

SSgt Will Perdew: (Stan Eval-Flt Supervisor) Dirty Will is alive and kicking in Stan Eval. Between SAV’s, ORI’s, and ASEV’s, he still manages to find the time to relax and take a soothing trip to the AOR for some quiet time.

SSgt Justin Thompson: Justin is our newest flight examiner looking forward to his first kill…we mean, evaluation. He continues to be one of the sharpest booms on base.

SSgt Justice Coker: (Scheduling-Flt Supervisor) Done Graduated ALS and moved up to Flt Super in scheduling. He puts Sweaty to sleep on a daily basis by changing his 70’s rock station to easy listening.

SSgt Michael Russell: He’s another one of the go-to guys in scheduling. He’s the only one that can wake Sweaty up without losing an arm. Another new SSgt that’s ready to make a difference.

SrA Aaron Tessman: He’s the back up comic relief when A-Ray is feeling under the weather. He tries to keep up with Perdew and company in the practical joke department, but he’s got a ways to go. Looking to upgrade soon and make the big bucks.

SSgt John Miller: (Readiness) Deployed, home, deployed…you know the drill. We’re still trying to figure out what he actually does in Readiness.

SSgt Shawn Thurman: (Awds & Decs Supervisor) #1 of 1 in the A&D shop. These Airmen wouldn’t have 18 Air Medals apiece if it weren’t for Shawn. He had to separate this Spring and will be attending college soon. He’s a great boom and will be missed.

Attached

TSgt Dave Nixon: Dave moved to the Vault to improve his knowledge of Secret Squirrel ops.

TSgt Ryan Soule: The Soule Train keeps pushing baby booms through OST. He’s all over it…just ask him. PCSing to an FTU near you this summer.

SrA Lainey Light: We never see her anymore, unless she’s flying off DNIF.

CMSgt Dan Repp: Chief still drops in every now and then…and we’re always glad to listen to another boom manning briefing.

Recent Departures

SMSgt Mark Lett: (PCS) Off to bigger and better things in the Associate unit at Birmingham.

CMSgt Opie Flax: (PCS) Mildenhall. Sure is quiet without him around.

SrA Dirk Vanderlaan: (Sep) Dirka, Dirka is checking out college life and molding young minds.

SSgt Aaron Leal: (PCS) Drafted to the cube farm in TACC.

53 In the Area:

Mike “Sweaty” McPhee: Sweaty still professes his love of marriage and children. He keeps things ticking around here, and always has a can of fresh scent on hand for the occasional Sphincter Phone malfunction.

Julie Nixon: Julie works in the CCX shop making sure we are all ready to deploy…YEA!

WASHINGTON AIR NATIONAL GUARD

Hello from the Guard Guys at Fairchild. We have had an interesting year with the Total Force Integration (or TFI as we lovingly call it) and are incorporating new ways of doing business. We are utilizing our vast experience and knowledge base to assist with implementation of policies and procedures locally. We moved out of our beloved Ops building and have transitioned into a much newer squadron building vacated by the 92nd. On the flying side of the house, with the loss of our own iron, our flying schedule has changed greatly. We have access to two training tails per day however for any TACC (i.e. Business Efforts, Coronets, and AE’s) we have to use one of our two allotted training tails. For guard missions an airplane is assigned then and it therefore does not affect our training tail availability. We still have two alert lines which are keeping food on the table with the decrease in flying and trips.

That’s about it from the WA ANG. Email is: [email protected] here’s our current lineup:

Current Boom Operators

CMSgt Flock, Tim (IB): (AGR/ Program Manager) Set to retire 31 August 2010, Chief Flock is entering the world of the unknown economy. He just was hired on to be a Marine Deputy in Northern Idaho and is currently training at the academy learning the ropes. Chief just became a Grandpa and since he is used to dealing with us kids….it should be a natural transition. Thank you for everything Chief and good luck on the water!

SMSgt Porter, Dane (EB): (Technician/ Squadron Boom Operator) Dane is heading off to Chile to help them get their tanker program up and running. Dane is an incredible wealth of experience and knowledge and he is certain to be an asset to their program. Six months away paid, working in a beautiful place like Chile……. Robin Leach would be jealous for sure!!

SMSgt Dahl, Ian Lance (EB): (Traditional/Fireman) Lance is our part time Stan/Eval guru and full time city fireman. When he is not busy saving lives and rescuing cats out of trees he is busy being a dad to three busy teenagers. On Lance's days off from the fire department he is out at the unit working in Stan/Eval. Never a dull moment!

55 SMSgt Apelskog, Eric (EB): (Technician/ NCOIC Training) Skog just spent some time "In Residence" at the SNCO academy. He was the first guard guy to go in residence and was the Vice President of the class. (No surprise) Eric is our resident Emeril Lagasse so it was only natural that he recently started his own restaurant business. Hawaiian food never tasted so good…. Welcome back Eric!

MSgt Stockton, Larry (IB): (LWOP Technician/Boom Scheduler) Larry decided to pursue his active duty retirement and went LWOP from his technician job and is now on full time ALPHA alert orders. With the free time he has now he is working on restoring old cars. Nice!! Who knows…maybe he will have one of his resto's go through the Barret Jackson Auction someday. Wouldn't that be cool!

SMSgt Nelson, Wayne (IB): (ANG In-flight Refueling Functional Manager) Wayne is still at the Guard Bureau trying to make things better for us booms. He is a pivotal piece in the Boom Simulator Program and is paving the way on how future training will be conducted. We can't think of a better boom to represent us all in the middle of a changing military! Thanks Wayne!

MSgt Shaw (Paplham), Sheri (IB): (Technician/ Long Range Scheduler) Sheri recently had another baby girl (that makes two future potential KC-X booms) so she has her hands full both at home and at work. She is busy keeping the folks in line in the scheduling shop and is now the Flight Lead Boom for C flight. Welcome to management Sheri! Cooking dinner, cleaning, changing diapers, mowing the lawn, paying bills, getting groceries and doing laundry will seem like a vacation after a full day at work!!

MSgt Tilford, Stephen (IB): (Traditional/ Alaska Airline Maintenance Supervisor) after 34 awesome years Tilly has decided to retire 15 August 2010. He has been an incredible asset to our unit and a well respected boom operator. Tilly has never missed a trip and is always the first volunteer. We are sure his employer is going to be happy to have him back full time!!! Tilly have fun on that Harley, traveling the world on your own dime, and oh yeah…..having every weekend free. Thank you for your service!

MSgt Hinton, Walter (EB): (Technician/Current Operations) Walt is truly living the technician dream (or is it a nightmare) hoping to work another 19 years as a technician. Isn't that awesome?! No worries Walt…… 19 years will go by in the blink of an eye! Walt has been busy this year with his three children and work and has not missed a beat.

SMSgt Gile (King), Monica (EB): (Traditional/ Nurse) SMS Gile won’t be an SMS for much longer. Monica was just named our new Chief Boom and will put CMS on sometime around September. Congratulations Monica!

MSgt Waddell, Stephen (EB): (Technician/ Stan/Eval) Steve is still in Stan/Eval working hard to enforce the standards. He may even get to carry a gun and a badge soon…who knows. Steve keeps himself busy off duty coaching and playing a variety of sports. He is our resident hockey star and some say he is better than Gretsky ever was…. there is that.

56 MSgt Gibson, Robert (IB): (Technician/ Boom Scheduler) Bob was just named the new boom scheduler so he has his hands full trying to keep everyone fed and happy. This is never an easy task when the meds run out and food supplies are low. What kinds of beer do you like anyways Bobby G?????

TSgt Grubb, Kevin (MB): (Traditional/ City of Spokane) Kevin is still working for the city and loving his job. He is busy at his house landscaping and chasing the kids around. He is one of the last true traditionals and is doing well managing both jobs. Never an idle minute when you have it all!!

MSgt Bopp, Shaun (IB): (Traditional/ Survival Instructor) Shaun has been busy working for Tate Inc. which provides personnel recovery /SERE training. He loves spending quality time with his wife and daughter and is excited for the arrival of their son. Shaun is another one of our true traditionals and is another vital part of the boom force.

TSgt Martin, Marty (MB): (Traditional/ Alpha Alert) Marty is our "Desert Dweller." He is very flexible and maintains a part time job at one of our local airlines, flies the line, and never passes up an opportunity to head to the sand box to assist in theater operations. He has two great kids and is another one of our busy dads.

TSgt McDowell, David (IB): (Traditional/ Alpha Alert) Dave is our lead Alpha Boom, helps out in the Stan/Eval office, goes to the desert every chance he can and then in his spare time builds vinyl fences.

TSgt Smith, Curtis (MB): (Traditional/ Alpha Alert) Curt missed us so much he came back to join the group. He was hired by the Montana Guard to fly F-15’s but had some difficulties with one of the obscure eye tests so he is back flying with us. Sorry Curt…but it is nice to have you back! Luckily you don’t need to see to be a boom! Sure glad that was cleared up!

TSgt Mitchell, John “Rob” (MB): (Traditional/ Alpha Alert) Rob missed a "certain appointment" due to an Alpha launch about nine months ago and now will be a dad for a third time any day now! Rob is keeping busy with his kids and maintaining the alert lines. He is in preparation for a possible run at instructor school this year. Another one of our busy booms!

SSgt Ventress (Oeser), Jennifer (MB): (Traditional/ Nursing Assistant) Jenn has gotten married and has a one year old little boy. Honeymooned for a month in South America, way cool. She has finished her degree and is now pursuing a career in the medical field. She just finished a remodel on her new house and did an awesome job. Nice!

SSgt Munro, Joel (MB): (Bum) Joel comes to us from the finance community. He has been busy this year in training and coming back to complete his mission qualifications. He has been on a couple great trips this year to include Curacao which is pretty good for a newer boom. Welcome aboard Joel!

57 SSgt Leitz, Nathan (MB): (Bum) Nate comes to us from maintenence where he was a full time crew chief. His maintenence background has been an asset to his training and has been beneficial to the booms in regards to systems review. Nate has two little girls and his wife is expecting again this fall. Nate is an asset and we are pleased to welcome him into the Boom shop.

“E to O”

Maj (TSgt) Marshall (Merwick), Molly: Molly is working as a part timer in the IG section of the unit. She lives full time in C-Springs teaching at the academy along with her husband. She has two beautiful daughters and never misses a chance to be at the lake.

Capt (TSgt) Lampel, Bradley: (Pilot Bum) Brad is married and has a beautiful little girl. He decided he needed a more reliable paycheck and has taken an 18 month leave of absence in order to fly the RC-26 down in Florida. He is an awesome pilot and we were proud to have had him as a boom.

1Lt (MSgt) Parsons, Chuck: Chuck is a part time officer and full time Tate Inc. employee. Chuck just got a part time gig back in Spokane as a maintenance officer so we hope to see him around the unit a little more. Go Chuck!

1Lt (TSgt) Scoville, David: (Pilot Bum) Dave is another one of our superstar booms who crossed over to the pilot side. He got back this year from training and is already another one of our superstar pilots. Dave is married and is just about to break ground on a new house on the lake. Go figure, Dave living on a lake!

509 WEAPONS SCHOOL

“FIRST IN REFUELING”

MSgt Daron “Tazz” Talsma: Took the reins in July 09 of a unit whose Supt had retired two months before my arrival. Got spun up real fast as the RA (a job title I will not brag about when I leave) and Supt/Shirt Duties. But it’s all good, just another one of those “learning experiences.” Miss the flying that Altus offered but you can’t beat the scenery of the Northwest. I have a great group to work with (despite some specialized mentoring).

SSgt Jeremy “Juice” Welch: Another callsign could be-Jeremy “Where’s Jucie” Welch. With all the time he claims he spends doing the P90X workouts, you’d think he’d be able to kick the old man’s butt on his PT test. Juice came to the 509th from El Grande Forke, he runs our Stan/Eval shop. He really misses the mentoring techniques of his boy Sean.

SSgt Daniel “Rags” Ragone: If this guy didn’t have bad luck, well, let’s just say I won’t be spending time at the Vegas tables while he’s around. Had his motor cycle stolen and lost his wallet with credit/debit cards in the span of about two weeks. Whoever found his wallet didn’t hesitate to drain his accounts and max his cards. Fortunately this was all covered by his banks and the motor cycle just turned up in Newport, WA. They were kind enough to put new brakes on the bike and some other stuff but his insurance already paid him for his loss. I’d love to see him in the same room with these dirt bags if they ever get caught.

SrA Jamie “FOCR” Almquist: FOCR: Farts On Command Repeatedly is a spot on callsign. FORC has taken this art to a level never before seen, heard, or smelt. Despite this mastery of flagellation, FOCR is a hard charging, hard worker boom that occasionally needs his INUs re- aligned. He has plans to cross-train to the PJ career field.

126 ARS

Welcome from the Brew City Tankers! Another year has gone by and we continue to survive. We’ve sucked up a Long Term MPA gig that keeps a few crews pretty busy and are pretty sure the world will have to cease to exist before we let it out of our greeedy little haands. Of course we’re all looking forward to our next AEF cycle as it always provides good material for our annual Oktoberfest celebration. If you’re in the area don’t be a stranger. If we’re in your area, we’ll be glad to meet you at the local watering hole. Anyways, here’s the current shakedown on who is where, or where who is going in Milwaukee.

NKAWTG!

Full Timer’s

CMSgt Steve “Woody” Schweiss: (Program Manager) Much to the amazement of everyone, Steve included, and despite ongoing threats, he still has a job. Steve says “It’s good to be the King!”

SMSgt Jerry “Penguin” Schiessl: (Current Ops) Jeroome completely dominates the trip list. We wish we knew when they increased the mandatory retirement age to 70. Jerry says, “Thanks for the ride b^%&#s!”

SMSgt Marlin “Swerve” Mosley: (Training) Love to nightfly (good for him) and runs the office as Don is always TDY. Marlin says “Don’t blame me, I didn’tt vote for the guy.”

SMSgt Patrick Sosinski: (Scheduling) As a freshly anointed SMSgt Pat continues to celebrate with vacation after vacation. Pat’s email says “I will be ouut of the office on leave until further notice.”

MSgt Mike “Werm” Weimer: (STAN/EVAL) Is just dying to give someone a line check but can’t decide between the 16 day BE to Hickam or Key West during Spring Break. Werm says “I could use your help in Mafia Wars.”

MSgt Don “Stricknine” Strickland: (Training) Finally relieved of his position in scheduling Don is making the most of it by taking every trip he can get his hands on. Don says” Dude, you bringing your clubs?”

MSgt Kurt “Iggy” Ignasiak: (XP) All the free time in the vault has allowed Kurt to fly on a regular basis and get into the gym too. Kurt says “I’ll just have a salad.”

63 MSgt Peter “Meat Tauerke” Gauerke: (Ex Crew Chief/UDM/RA/Cargo Load Manager, Current OPS) Just got sucked into the AGR hole in Oct. Shed zero of his previous duties. Pete says “My retirement age just went down 8 years.”

TSgt Anthony “A-Train” Walter: “Hey let’s screw the new guy and put him in scheduling!” Anthony says “At least I’m the new guy.”

Part-Timers and Guardbum Extraordinaires

SMSgt Mark “Marty” Lipinski: (Milwaukee Firefighter/Senior Boom Guardsman) – Marty says “your life isn’t complete until you’ve spent some time on the south end of Duval St”

MSgt John “Mags” Magnus: (Racine Firefighter) John seems much happier working at the Firehouse fulltime instead of here. We’re probably happier too. Mags says, “Let me tell you something about how it use to be in the old days.”

MSgt Tony White: (Milwaukee Firefighter) Tony is busy finishing up his nursing degree while fulltime LT with MFD. Tony is working hard. Tony says, “YEAH”

MSgt William “Eche” Echevarria: (Milwaukee Firefighter/Paramedic) Got married this past year and is enjoying the life as a Grandparent. Eche says, “Hey Partner, you want some Chorizo?”

MSgt Amanda “Demanda” Fuller: (Guardmen/Bum/Student) Amanda is busy pursuing higher education but thankfully is still “Amanda”. Amanda says whatever the hell she feels like saying!

TSgt Mat “Grzbah” Grzyb: (Ex-Crew Chief/Fireman) Getting married, buying a house. He’s almost all grown up. Now if we can get him to add another T to his name. Mat was to busy to be available for comment.

TSgt Thomas “Origami” Orosco: (Guardsmen) Tom is finishing up with school so he can join the ranks of the public school teachers. Tom says, “Those who can, do, and those who can’t teach.”

Nuzzled up to the LTMPA teat

MSgt Will “Mat” Mattert: (Guardsman/Private Eye) A fulltime job on the outside but even Will could see a good deal looking him in the eye. 120 days of long term MPA and we’ll have another instructor! Will says “Hey check out my sweet Droid “

TSgt Chris “Rodney Dangerfield” Winchell: (Guard Bum) Works the LTMPA as well as anyone. Chris says “can I get milk with my dinner”

TSgt Bryan “Light Switch” Storbeck: (Guard Bum) Just married! Kid on the way! He’s come a long way since that Ramstein dishwasher incident! Bryan says, “What the heck just happened?”

TSgt Ryan “WTF ” Peters: (Ex-Crew Chief/Guard Bum) He’s gonna be active duty CE, he gonna be a pilot, he’s gonna make up his mind some day. Ryan says “where’s lunch” at 0900.

64 TSgt Lynda “Lydia” Matthews: (Guard Bum) Lynda is the one we go to to ensure we are up to date on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace. Lynda says, and this is her actual quote, “I would have sex with my IPhone if I could!”

SSgt Karley “360 LTMPA” Moore: (Guard Bum) Just like last year were still computing with this one. Karley says “You have any projects I can work on?”

Newbie

TSgt Jordan “K-Loader” Jungwirth: We realized the imbalance between firefighters and cops in our part-time ranks so we hired a WI State Trooper to increase our chances for “Professional courtesy”. Jordan says, “Have two. They’re small and you just got here.”

Defectors

Capt Lauri (Hrovatin) Sergent: She’s back with us when she’s not running her sports shoe and apparel store pushing the accelerometers limits as best she can. Lauri says, “It wasn’t that bad.”

Lt Paul Matthews: (Ex-Crew Chief/Ex-Boom) Guard Bum Pilot. Paul hasn’t lost his way completely proven by the way he’s latched on to the LTMPA teat. Paul says, “Mmmmmmmmmmph, mmmph.”

TSgt Christine “Cajones” Kjornes: Still at school for the pilot thingy. Christine says, “Do I get to wear the same Oktoberfest costume I had after I get back?”

Stowed and Latched

The list here can get pretty long and I’m sure I’ve missed a few so I apologize in advance. A few of these last names may look familiar, hey they were legacies, we had to take them.

66 GRAND FORKS AFB, ND

319 OG/CEM

Greetings from North Dakota! This will be our last Boom Signal from Grand Forks AFB as a KC- 135 unit. The 905th after proudly serving our nation for 50 years the 905th is closing its hangar doors on the 31st of December while the Wing’s new mission has already begun to populate our flight line and air space, guarding the border from unruly Canadian shoppers.

Grand Forks AFB was Jeff Sidles and my first duty assignment and we were both astonished 23 years ago when the Air Force informed our Gunner brethren their duty position on the B-52 had been removed. Ten years ago and my second time being assigned to Grand Forks I watched the Wing’s last operational missile silo decommissioned. The implosion brought about mixed emotions. I must confess I was happy that the B-52s and missiles had departed the base for all the ass-pain that followed them to include the wear of “dickies.” The Gunner’s loved the damn things and used them for napkins and we ALL looked like a bunch of Carnies’…some more than others.

The ‘90s found Grand Forks with four Air Refueling Squadrons flying the venerable KC-135 with her crews at the tip of the spear. We’ve a proud heritage and have provided sustained, outstanding service to our nation through our amazing Airmen.

Grand Forks’ has consistently raised thoroughbreds and you’ll be damn lucky to get any one of our young leaders. Fly safe!

“HOME OF THE RHINOS”

SMSgt Jeffery Sidles: (EB) Enjoys life as the Superintendent of the 905th, he continues to keep the young guys on track and is a proud GRANDPA! Misses the -10…a lot. Still has the -10 MQF committed to memory. If he could only do that with the -135 MQF. Is the proud owner of a Harley (Geezer Glide). Scott AFB.

MSgt Bob “NASCAR” Boettcher”: (IB) Bob is the walking/talking encyclopedia on NASCAR. If you haven’t seen him lately you can see him on the Jack Link’s jerky commercials (he’s the one playing Sasquatch (no-bull). Bob’s getting married soon, so all you ladies quit hoping. MacDill bound and a good fit!

MSgt Israel Hanks: (EB)“ Izzy” Has been known to utter “Scooters” in his sleep but has convinced his wife he was dreaming about getting a Harley Davidson instead. STEP’d to MSgt and headed to Travis’ CRW.

MSgt Ed Smith: (IB) “Back in the old days” Ed is still missing the old days and the TALCE…ask him he will tell you for hours. Of course booms weren’t responsible for COMSEC back then & apparently still aren’t “according to Ed.” Going to Dayton, OH as MSgt (ret) in 2011. If AFPC is offering HYT extensions to clean your office, Ed could use one.

SSgt Alan Champagne: (IB) Completed CFIC and only cried once. Is looking to separate the AF and become a co-dependent and college student. Now he has to answer to the one who will be paying the bills… Shhh! We’re not sure his mom knows. Still has orders to Pease but is looking forward to becoming Mr. Champagne and going to school.

SSgt Samantha Converse: (IB) “SAM” is a new IB. Loving life, having fun. …One of our John L. Levitow award winners and an outstanding boom operator. Has a great sense of humor. She got one over on the Chief and almost gave him a coronary. She’s off to Fairchild – hopefully her goodness will offset the other (3)… sorry Dan.

SSgt Titan Miller: (EB) Titan, one of our smartest booms running around. He can build and download the biggest file on his computer while running a mile under 6 minutes and explaining all the systems on the jet. He’s headed to Altus and if you get one of his protégés, you’ll be lucky. ALLSTAR! He seems too good to be a boom so he must have a well hidden character flaw.

68 SSgt Nick Robles: (IB) “Lurch” Nick, one of our great instructors who can be spotted from a mile away, he believes in his reflective belt and doesn’t leave the house without it. He’s headed to Hickam and is thrilled about it. In true boom fashion he’s going to marry his ex-wife… at least she’s his ex.

SSgt Geoffrey Schultz: (IB) Outstanding NCO & aviator. Stepped-up and filled MSgt Rix’ position for the Wing’s CORI – helps explain how we received an Ops “Excellent” rating. Pease AFB.

SSgt Steven Swann: (MB) Paroled from the Scheduling office and should be an IB by the time you read this. Headed to MacDill to keep Sasquatch out of trouble. One out of three ain’t bad -- just ask Dan!

SrA Patrick Booth: (MB) Crew Comm “Where are your secrets?” Booth: “Ummm, I’ll be back”……..Patrick is doing everything he remembers. Clearly has untapped potential but we just don’t know how deep we have to explore – “Drill baby, drill!” Sorry Dan, Fairchild AFB.

SrA Gregory Bush: (MB) “OG BOOM OF THE YEAR” all around great guy. Always looking for a challenge and tackles it like it’s his last one. Blew out his knee so he could officially pay the fiancée’s (I mean nurse maids’) rent downtown. Inbound for Hickam!

SrA Zach “Peanut” Chamberlain: (MB) This guy will come at you like a spider monkey… probably why he sticks to the internet to find the perfect companion. Not sure what SrA Bill Gates would look like but Peanut gives us a pretty good idea. Separating and headed for the college women in PA!

SrA Jon Fleming: (IB) Completed CFIC and stays on the road. Jon once again has a Spring in his step and a smile on his face after a 6-month hiatus’. Our Intel Shop’s morale has recently improved also -- he found Champagne’s treasure trove. If you need to know anything about DTS….do not ask Jon. Headed to March!

SrA Levi Knepper: (MB) Wait where is Levi? Is he deployed? No. TDY? No. Home sick? Maybe. Someone call Levi…Oh he’s “on his way to work!” Elvis wanna’be (tied with Madsen on Chief’s haircut watch list). Headed to March.

SrA Nicholas Madsen: (IB) Nick stays on the road thanks mostly to Wilson and Knepper (and no they’re not the Sq’s schedulers) – he’s now eligible for dual citizenship in Qatar. He has untapped potential but his hair’s holding him back. He shows up on time and does his job well, so we just don’t ask questions. Our newest CFIC graduate – he didn’t cry. Hickam AFB next!

SrA Silas Marshall: (MB) Silent operator but what a workhorse! Never hear a complaint and has never been a problem – on his way to Pease.

SrA Dylan McMullen: (MB) “McLovin” Flew more hours than anyone else in the Wing in ’09. He’s just a happy go lucky kid with a punch me face. Nobody’s sure who’s going to work on Peanut’s car when Dylan moves to Fairchild AFB.

69 SrA Shawn Rachini: (MB) Tired of deploying to Al Udeid over and over and over but doesn’t want to return to Jiffy Lube either. Morale improved recently after marrying. A solid boom who stays out of the lime light but doesn’t get in trouble either. March bound!

SrA Chris Ramey: (MB) “Freaking Ramey” Good boom who almost finished CFIC. Had another daughter and is keeping busy. We’re just thrilled he can find the Squadron on the days that he makes it. Perfect fit for MacDill!

SrA Shane Williams: (MB) Our last baby boom to arrive on base. Smart as a whip and living with Robles. We’re not sure how things are going to work out when the new (old) Mrs. Robles returns. -- Headed for Hickam w/Nick--

A1C Joe Wilson: (MB) Joe stays out of trouble when he’s flying but that’ll only cover 150 hrs a month. If it wasn’t for the 30/60/90 flight hour limits, he’d stay out of trouble when he’s home. Headed to Kadena.

Attached for Flying

CMSgt Gary Elliott: (EB) 319 OG/CCC “CHIEF” Chief is still the man in charge. Taking care of all his booms…I mean the entire group’s enlisted members and hoping he doesn’t lose what he has left of his hair while doing it…Chief’s still trying to work an assignment w/in the VOCO limit of Wisconsin.

MSgt Mike Ulmer: (MB) 319 ARW/XP 366 days – no boom stories. There are penguins with more flight time. “Coined” by the AMC/IG for his work in the vault during our NORI. Fairchild AFB.

MSgt Sean Rix: (EB) 319 OG/OGV We were going to write something but we know he’s already called each of you and told you everything.

SSgt Jerome Jefferson: (IB) 319 OSS/OSK (Tactics Boom) JJ is known for having his sleeves up and zipper down. Attempts to employ his tactical deception skills at work. White socks pulled to your knees are not cool. If Steve Erkle was an SSgt we’d know what he’d look like – Ladies man. Hickam bound.

Departed

MSgt Paul Frownfelter: (EB) Retired and moved to Oklahoma City. He and his family are doing great. He is truly missed throughout the Wing.

SSgt Jared Danielson: (MB) “Sniper” preparing himself to get out the military and go to school. Best of luck, Sniper.

SSgt Brandon Ford: (IB) Moved back to New York with his family.

SSgt Shea Hill: (MB) Shea will be soon leaving us to become a nurse in the Air Force; she’s going to make a great officer and a scary nurse.

SSgt Kamisha Smith: (IB) PCS’d to Birmingham and submitted her OTS package – Rock Star!

“THE DARK SIDE”

SPINS

It has been another busy year for the “Dark Side”. This year has brought with it an ORI, NORI, multiple generation exercises, and countless TDY’s. After three long years, we finally won the 4th annual Jovanovich Cup softball game beating the 74th ARS. We are gearing up to deploy again this summer but we always have time for fellow booms from around the world. Therefore, if you happen to be at or near Grissom please stop by to enjoy a cold beverage, good company, and remember

N.K.A.W.D.S.G!

Chief Boom:

CMSgt Jeff “Buck” Henry: (ART) Thanks Paul for coordinating the boom signal. Thank you Jessie, AKA: “Tomato Cage” see below for overseeing ours. As described in spins above and like everyone else in the Tanker world, business is booming. I truly appreciate all that my booms do for me and this grand country of ours. To each of you in this great career field, BE SAFE!

Now the Heart and Soul of the Dark Side:

SSgt Jason “Beep Beep” Bireley: (TR) Jason finally finished his degree and took the AFOQT. He is looking to commit treason and become a Pilot. Evidently he feels being a Pilot will pay better dividends with the ladies. Jason can be found on the corner of any TDY location sightseeing, “Hey Miss Lady….”

TSgt Jerry “Doc in The Box” Cummings: (TR) Supports the “Fight to Get Fat” program by buying donuts for the shop every UTA. He is still a paramedic in the civilian sector. He is a fully qualified boom. Now that he dropped ‘110 lbs of dead weight’ he has gotten in touch with his feminine side and can be found baking cookies on the jet. Jerry now lives by the motto, “Your Hole is My Goal.”

CMSgt Tony “Two Scoops” Fansler: (ART) Tony retires in December. He has gone ‘soft-serve’ in his golden years and has decided to quit intimidating the new booms. We wanted to overhaul him to extend his usability but he has acquired too many hours on his airframe. Despite monetary bribes, begging & weeping like a baby (on our part) depot rejected him and the refurbishing shop asked, “Are you serious??”

71 SSgt Mike “Trap” Garman: (TR) Mike is a Traditional Reservist working on his private pilot’s license. He is constantly busy remodeling his home. When not booming he is driving his big rig on the open road.

MSgt Ken “CSI” Knight: (TR) We had to promote Ken to MSgt because he had dirt on a few people. Ken has begun insisting on fingerprints & parental permission from all his dates now. He has found one advantage to the young ones is he can use curfew as an excuse to take them home afterwards. On the rare occasion that he does find his way to the shop, he can be found asking other booms if he can swab them.

TSgt Anthony “Ant” Krisher: (ART) When Ant is not flying, he can be found working in mission planning. Outside of work, he can be found negotiating a real estate deal. At home, he keeps Lowe’s in business one piece of drywall at a time. Maybe by next boom signal his bathroom will finally be finished.

SSgt Zuriel “Puzzle-Box” Lund: (TR) Z is a fully qualified boom traveling the world as a trougher. His “playa” status has been rescinded now that a ‘local’ got her hooks into him. Since the wedding, he has had his cell phone grafted to his hand so he is always able to text the little lady at a moment’s notice.

MSgt Butch “Tick” MacDonald: (TR) Butch is one of our Traditional Reservist that is going to be retiring later this year. He is taking many years of experience with him because evidently, he thinks playing with his ‘choo-choo’ is more important than imparting wisdom to our less experienced booms.

SrA Erich Maul: (TR) Erich is our newest baby boom. He is so new that he is still in diapers at Altus. Check back next year for an update. We will beat him into a recognizable boom by the next boom signal.

SMSgt Laura “Gunny” McKee: (TR) Laura contributes to the economy by providing booms with promotion info as the Squadron Career Advisor. When she isn’t in the office, you can find her on the jet defiantly giving the newer booms ‘OTHER’ time on the 781. Laura will be deploying again this summer.

MSgt Mike “Leonard” Morgan: (ART) Mike is still in mission development. Thanks to the stricter rules for the fitness program, he has found a new calling in life. He has begun helping whip our pilot’s that are ‘big-boned’ into shape. If not on the jet, Mike can be found at the gym with chicks in tow.

SSgt Crystal “Stevie” Nix: (TR) Crystal is becoming a seasoned boom traveling the world as a trougher. She is in the part time boom / full time student program. When she isn’t hootin’ and hollerin’ at a Boiler’s game, she can be found in the shop, scrapbooking squadron pictures for historical value.

72 MSgt Kym “Agent” Orange: (ART) When he isn’t ‘shanking’ people, he is busy pawning off his UDM tasks to “worthless TRs”. Instead, he spends his days dealing with Ground Scheduling duties… but not on Friday … he doesn’t work on Fridays. Agent still insists that UTA is an acronym for Unable To Attend.

SSgt Jessie “Tomato Cage” Rood: (TR) We will have to check the archives to be sure, but we are pretty positive that she is the ONLY boom in history to take 2.5 yrs to become an MB. When she is not flying, she can be found hiding in her underground bunker listening to talk radio and clinging to her guns.

MSgt Paul “Piper” Sherrod: (TR) Paul is finally back to flying after recuperating from an Achilles tendon injury last year at The Deid. He is back to blowing hot air into his bagpipes and wearing a skirt. Don’t ask if he wears anything under his kilt. Paul is currently tasked with First Sergeant duties.

TSgt Joe “Po Po” Swisher: (TR) Outside of flying Joe is still a State Cop. He’s often seen around the squadron, but not because he is flying or accomplishing training… but because our ‘facilities’ are nicer than a port-a-potty. Ten hours of pulling over little old ladies doing 90 in a 60mph zone is a thankless job.

MSgt Kerry “Van-Tactics” Vanausdall: (ART) Thanks to Kerry our tactics brief is much shorter and a lot more forthright, “Next slide… not important…you know that…next slide… Any questions?” When he isn’t stressing the importance of tactics he can be found running around the base averaging 5 miles a day.

MSgt Scott “EWO-MODE” Ward: (ART): When Scotty is in GEN ONLY; he is usually working on the flying schedule. We harnessed Scotty’s energy, and had him use it to help organize and employ a team of booms to update the boom shop and the Chief’s office. He put his cabinet making skills to good use and built us a new bar.

“FIGHTING RED TAGS”

CMSgt Jeff “Heffe” Maier: (ART/Instructor) – He’s still the Paterfamilias Chief Boom around here…but in a fancy new throne room office! Only thing is it’s across from mission planning, so he gets to yell at us when we don’t brief whether we’re doing MBL or not. He even bought a new Beemer with all that Chief desert pay. Too bad you only see it as much as you do Halley’s Comet. He’s doing well in his position and still issuing throat punches whenever he can.

SMSgt Paul ‘Doogie’ Houser: (ART/Evaluator) - Doogie is still over in training flight, always saddened at how none of the new booms have heard the word ‘SAC’ before. Good thing retirement is just around the corner. He can tell people all about it when he’s a DJ at the Hugger, or a guide at Grissom Air Museum. Most likely though he’ll be that Space A passenger with the huge AIR FORCE RETIRED hat griping to the poor boom that’s going TDY.

SMSgt Jim “Booger” Maxwell: (TR) – Jim has been working hard helping the squadron this past year. He went to Guam for 2 months (Actually I take that ‘hard working’ part back). He was also one of the booms in our NORI that helped us achieve an ‘excellent’ grade. Always the livid one, just don’t stare him directly in the eyes lest the seething hatred damages some part of your soul.

MSgt Jerry “Shoe” Schumacher: (ART/Evaluator) – Shoe works in our friendly, neighborhood Safety. You could always tell where he was during the NORI by the horribly bright safety vests they purchased. Smile for the cameras Shoe! Shoe also went to Guam for a couple of months. He went diving so many times no one will be surprised if his children’s children develop gills like Kevin Costner’s character in Waterworld.

MSgt Bryan “Dork” Hettinghouse: (ART/Evaluator/Flight Commander) – Being a prodigy, Bryan landed a job as our new Chief of STAN/EVAL. You can probably find him these days sighing with a picture of Guam in his hands. Speaking of Guam, the man cave is probably plastered by now with many photos of him on Tumon Bay in all of his bare (and shaved) chested, manly glory. Look out Old Spice, here’s your next star!

74 MSgt Tim “Otis/Monkey” Stibbe: (ART/Senior Evaluator/Flight Commander) – Stibbe picked up a house in Kokomo, we refer to it as "The Money Pit". Stibbe is not a great recycle guy either. His neighbors appreciate the beer cans/6 pack rings/cartons blowing into their yards. He has been seen throwing batteries in the waste cans at work and dumping his truck oil down the storm drains at home. His contribution to the great outdoors is sitting on an old 70's flower pattern couch on the front porch and tipping a can to all the neighborhood wives/daughters as they walk or drive by.

MSgt Doug “Mud Vein” Preece: (ART/Cargo Evaluator) – After the ATSO portion of the ORI, Doug seems to think he’s the greatest UDM in the history of UDMs. Oh, and he does ground scheduling when he’s not too busy. Doug went to Guam with us last year when it was nice and hot. Good thing too, lest the Navy personnel see him in his orange vest and think he jumped ship. Being his first deployment in several years, he probably shook for days at how ‘terrible’ it was to fly over water.

MSgt John “Old Spice” English: (TR/Instructor) – At the time of this writing, John’s little boy is 11 months old! John broke down and bought a stylish Chevy Traverse grocery getter to go along with the new house on the lake. He says he wants to stay in long enough for his son to be exposed to the military lifestyle. That must mean he’s replacing the formula with Budweiser and the teething rings with a pack of Marlboro Lights. We expect his first word to be “Manday!”

MSgt Drennen Gaffney: (TR/Instructor/Flight Commander) – Ol’ Drennen FINALLY got back on flying status when the Medical squadron found his paperwork lying under a stack of old candy wrappers and Steak ‘N’ Shake coupons. Always one with the latest technology Apple has to offer, he’s still our resident computer guru. Drennen has yet another child on the way due around Thanksgiving. That’ll make five so far.

TSgt Debbie “Yoko” Melton: (ART/Instructor) – Deb deployed to the ever fun desert, and then returned and headed off to CFIC. We don’t know which one is worse: Oklahoma or Qatar. Deb survived and is our newest instructor! Debbie’s working back in scheduling and seems to be enjoying it.

TSgt Chris “Nick” Nack: (TR) – After Chris got back from Guam he helped gear up and left for the ATSO portion of our ORI. Chris loves being in MOPP 4, he told me so. He still has a girlfriend in Hawaii. Why they don’t open a bar for all the TDY crews that pass through is beyond me.

TSgt Joshua “J1/Wicket Hawt” Welch: (TR) – Josh has been working out with us great so far, they even promoted him to Tech! When deployed to Guam, Welch had a short stopover in Alaska and fell for the place. Let’s hope he doesn’t disappear and take a dirt nap like that kid in Into the Wild. He’d be back shortly though, especially when he hasn’t a “Wicked good Bah stin Lah Gah (Boston Lager for you non-New England types) in awhile. J flight check!

SSgt Joshua “J2/Lloyd Christmas” Fagerburg: (TR) – Josh deployed with the unit to Guam last year and he must have enjoyed the free food, he came back a little heavier than he left. Once the cargo door opened we thought we had a new Boom Operator. We soon realized it was Josh (AKA Cartman). Josh still has issues when it comes to driving to include his own. Over the winter last year, Josh slid off the road in his new car and hit a One Way sign. Josh has been a great asset to the unit; let’s just hope he can stop wrecking vehicles.

75 SSgt Rob “Mr. SOE” Faurot: (TR) – After his hard work in getting his private pilot’s license and a Marketing degree from IU, Rob finally got his pilot slot. Sadly, Rob will mostly be remembered this year for some unfortunate pictures that were taken during a vacation in Hawaii. Let’s just say he’s going to hear the word ‘dolphin’ a lot in his future. We’ll be sad to see him leave the 74th booms, even though he’s dead to us now. Good luck!

SSgt Vicki “Icky” Cummings: (TR) – Vicki is a TR with us when she isn’t arresting drunks and giving wooden haircuts. We don’t know how she chases down crooks with as much as she chain smokes. She seems happy being a boom and is a great addition to the fighting red tags.

SSgt Brandon “Ogre” Toth: (TR) – Huh? He was boom? Oh yeah, that’s right! After almost a year of not flying, Toth has finally gotten back on flying status and is working hard to get re-qualified. At least he’s graduating from Purdue soon! Congrats! If anyone is looking to hire an engineer, he’s your man.

New Blood

SrA Mckayla Dick: (TR) – Mckayla came to us from Fairchild on the active duty side. Beyond having a last name that’s too easy to use in jokes, she’s a huge animal lover (especially horses). Mckayla decided on her first UTA to show up with this HUGE purple handbag and bangs that rivaled a sheepdog. Nice! Beyond cooking every instructor with volcano-hot cargo compartment temperatures, Dick has been a great hire. Welcome!

Relocations

MSgt Dave “Frenchy” French: (TR) – French left us to take a job down in Texas. He even closed up and sold his old electronics/cellular phone store across from the base. I wonder how many U- Hauls it took for his guns alone…. Good bye Dave, you’ll be missed!

909 ARS

“HOME OF THE YOUNG TIGERS”

Kon'nichiwa!!! From one of the most diverse units in our Air force. The 909th ARS, has a rich history, and got its name “Young Tiger’s” from the Vietnam era. The motto “Always There” is not only part of our history, it’s our daily creed. The last year has been challenging and rewarding, from sitting Bravo and AE alert to daily support missions and short notice TDY’s. We have had a lot of our booms leave this year for bigger and better things. We are getting our share of baby booms and with the help of AMC, AFPC and PACAF, we are finally getting a steady flow of inbounds, due in for the rest of the year. Kadena is controlled chaos, and never knowing your schedule until 1500L, is always interesting. The Booms here amaze me, working 6 to 7 days a week and never complaining. We deployed to Australia, Alaska and even got to pull a few air shows. Our AE commitment is demanding and rewarding. One of our sorties was an AE to Diego Garcia and then to Singapore, with a patient that the medics thought would never make it. Due to the speed of the BASIC crew, the patient survived and was able to get the next level of care. If you want something different, Kadena is the place; our mission is as demanding as any tanker base that I have been to. If you are ever in town, please stop by and get a tour. I would like to thank our functional for their support, and also to Altus for putting out some awesome baby booms and instructors. God Bless all our men and women in uniform, those who are serving and those who have served. We thank all the families and all the support personnel who enable us to perform our mission daily.

SMSgt Michael “Hooters” Steinkraus: (Superintendent) When he’s on the Island you can find him at the GSP, when TDY, look for him at the nearest Hooters. He will not go on any TDY unless there is a Hooter’s within 25 miles of his hotel. He is our “Dear Leader”, no one knows when he’ll flip out, so we are all on our toes!!!

MSgt Julian (Voodoo) Joseph: (Chief Boom) Brand new from Macdill, he will soon be feeling the Kadena burn.

TSgt Mark “Quiet Riot” Babel: (B Flight Sup) Wing Safety, only likes to fly HHQ when able. We keep telling him that after 25 medal points, medals no longer matter? He must like clusters?

TSgt Jason “Mountain Dew” Wallace: (A Flight Sup) When not taking leave or hiring a lawyer for his wife’s dangerous driving habits. He enjoys wearing funny shoes and doing great things for the Pacific Boom Union.

80 TSgt Michael “What just happened” Ingram: (C Flight Sup) Been gone a lot, and on his way to Mildehall, good luck with that!

TSgt Bartek “The generals drinking MY juice” Bachleda: (Stan/Eval) PACAF NCOA Vangard winner and constantly impressing us with his knowledge. It’s all useless information but it’s funny and disturbing. When he’s not on CNN explaining what Oceanic means, you can find him at the GSP!!!

TSgt(S) Rory “I love small Dogs” Wilcox: (OGV) Been kicking butt in OGV, and keeping us straight at the Sq. On his way to Altus, to shoot guns, buy an ATV and to help mold young impressionable minds of our future, good luck kids!!!

TSgt Roger “all you can eat” Braun: (B-Flight) Still trying to knock the crew chief out of him, just got MCT complete (FINALLY) and learning it’s better to fly them, then to fix them.

SSgt “Getting Fat Again” Larry Nahalea: (C Flight) On his way to tell stories at Altus (God help us all) A man with the most vivid imagination known to man, he has been there and done that no matter what you come up with, Chelsea GOOD LUCK!!!

SSgt Ronald “No Sweat” McKinney: (Safety) Currently at Pease and enjoying a lobster role, the 909th had the privilege of paying millions of dollars to help Ron stop sweating. Not sure if we got our investment back. We did not mind, he never flew before he was DNIF anyway!!!

SSgt Anthony “Tony” Erdelac: (OSS Scheduling) Took the reins in scheduling, OSS doesn’t know how to handle him, since he shows up to work and unlike most seagulls, he actually stays airborne for more than a few hours a week. Poor man was forced to replace his previously stained chair, at the OSS.

SSgt Kenneth “My wife has seen more combat then me” Harwood: (Stan/Eval) Has great project ideas all the time, but somehow never finishes anything? Is taking over Stan/Eval, loves techno and we love him (Sober).

SSgt Michael “I can’t bunnny-hop my bicycle” Brooks: (B Flight Sup) If there is a cross training opportunity, Mike knows about it. If you want to get in shape, don’t ask this man to help you, unless you want to die. At least your corpse will look good!!! We will miss you Mike, you have been a great asset to our Sq, good luck!!!

SSgt Justine Pescatello-Parr ”P2D2”: (OSS Scheduling) She’s gone, there is a GOD!!!

SSgt James “What do you mean that happened when I was on 45 days of leave” Nilsen: (use to be NCOIC Training) He got fired, he sucks, no one likes him, he makes fun of everyone, laughs really loud and baby Booms are scared of him. He is now in (Stan/Eval) Good luck to the 909th, Buda help us all!!!

SSgt Brian “I get my eyebrows waxed” Porter: They do look good (not really) we wish he knew as much about his job, as he does about computers!!! As soon as he’s back on fly status we’re sending him to Altus for upgrade, good luck Brain, no really, seriously!!!

81 SSgt Christopher “Hip shooter” Pedersen: (Training) Chris has a great heart and does not know, that if you really don’t know something; it’s OK to say so. We think he’s under the impression that an IB, must have an answer not matter what, so he makes it up as he goes along, it actually works on some people, (WARNING) be prepared for an extremely long conversation!!!

SrA Gregory “What time was testing?” Appleton: (A Flight) Likes to show up to work on his schedule, for some reason he’s OK at work to hang out with, but awesome dude on TDY’s??? We think he’s cracking???

SrA Cody “Insta-Family” Beverly: (B Flight) Just got married and is planning to have a larger family. His new son and he wear the same size pajamas, nothing perverted, it’s just that he’s so tiny, like 4 foot something!!!

SrA Jonathan “Go ahead and load that” Allessie: (A Flight) Our newest Instructor and likes to mount his students. Also doesn’t believe in Hazdecs, or maybe he’s just not aware of it?

SrA Cassidy “If it’s a illness I have it” Cook: (B Flight) Has turned around since getting here, we are all now scared, he’s polite, respectful, on time and happy???

SrA Bruce “Batman” Wayne Freed: (A Flight) Resident Larping champion and Sq stalker. Still can’t understand him but no one likes to talk to him anyway. Just kidding Bruce, we love you. On his way for Combat duty at the Died as a TCN Escort. Be careful in the showers!!!

SrA Michael “I plan to make MSgt without competing my CDC’s” Childers: (A Flight) He’s better then all of us, we are all beneath him. Always disgruntle about something, we can’t figure out what and why??? He once set SIX alarms and still showed up late to work???

SrA David “That just happened” Ballmer: (Training) If you have a hot mom, aunt or an older family member (even your grandma counts) KEEP THEM AWAY!!! He is our resident COUGAR hunting champion, on Okinawa.

SrA Jason “I like to lift weights” Duckett: (C Flight) He eats allot of protein, his farts smell bad, and knows more than anyone else anywhere.

SrA Jacob “Curfew, what curfew?” Aufderheide: (C Flight) Only Boom to vote to repeal the “Don’t ask, don’t tell Policy” We finally got him to sell his Miata pink girl car, thank God that’s over!!!

A1C Daniel “They got free cars in Okinawa” Childress: (B Flight) Deploys, thinks the government automatically takes care of his car payments for him??? Was not aware he was responsible for car payments; apparently he believes its part of his out processing checklist?

A1C Liahna “Keep your voice down” Childs: (MCT) She talks likes this! Hi my name is Liahna, I am the only female BOOM on the island, and I have already flown more than the previous one did in 3 years???

82 A1C Derek “Chicks dig tall guys in Japan” Greene: (MCT) Ok, how the hell does this kid fit in the Boom Pod??? His feet have to stick out into the cargo compartment. He has attitude issues, talks DOWN to everyone, literarily!!!

A1C Eric “Boner” Lacksonen: (A Flight) Was the tallest BOOM in the Sq for like a month, and then Greene showed up. Wants to out Ballmer Ballmer, it’s not working, stop trying, Ballmer’s cool and hot, you’re NOT!!!

A1C Mathew “Minnesota” Nelson: (MCT) He’s respectful, innocent, new and married. The first three will change here soon, guaranteed!!!

TSgt Jason Wallace’s 7 yr old son Jacob had a school paper he had to do about what he wanted to do in the future. This is how he responded.

Question 1: Some jobs I know are?... Boom Operator, fire fighter, army, police, embalince, librarian. Question 2: My talents, or things I am good at are?... fuling planes, plaing video games, aiming. Question 3: My goals for the future are?... to be a boom operator Last question was think about what you are good at and you're interested in. What do you think you might want to be when you grow up? Tell why...Fuling planes is what I am an expert at and I have really good skill at video games. I am intrested in travleing. I want to be a boom operator when I grow up because I did it on a computer at Altis the computer was like a real airplane because into a machine it had the buttons and everything it had the control pad, a computer that showed the gas pipe and the airplane you were reafuling you had earphones on and somebody was talking to you throo the earphones and it was like a awesome video game and thats all I can tell you about Boom Operators.

83 KELLY USA (SAN ANTONIO), TEXAS

313 FLTF

“PROVE IT FIT FOR FLIGHT”

Hola from San Antonio! Flight test for every GATM KC-135 ever and 30% of all Depot maintenance. Boeing lets us live in their paint hanger and we fly when they say. We try hard to make sure the airplanes go back out to the units in great shape. We got the old E-models out of the bone-yard and delivered them to Chile this year.

SMSgt Gordo Ringler: [email protected], Reserve (AGR): Since none of the slacker booms in my unit would step up and write this thing, I am stuck doing it so Joe Reed rules apply- “nothing is too cruel if it’s funny”. Still happy in San Antonio. Texas ain’t bad if you stay away from Dallas and Austin. Couple more years and out.

MSgt Amanda J. Stift: [email protected], Reserve (AGR): Stiffie is tearing it up around here. The girl is going to be the next CMSgt of the Air Force, she don’t care if it’s not a Reserve position. Still runs a ga-jillion miles a week and now talking triathalons. God help us if she ever gets pregnant.

MSgt John Bonnet: [email protected], Reserve (AGR): John put in for a UAV job. Apparently he hates us. If he gets it we can hire someone without a dog so they can go TDY.

MSgt Dave French: [email protected], Reserve (TR): We got Frenchie from Grissom. Forget the fact that he was the only one who applied for the job – we still like him. Dave works at Boeing some days and for us others. Dave likes to talk. Dave does this a lot.

Lots of retired booms in San Antonio. The list looks like the phone book so Google it.

84 KEY FIELD (MERIDIAN), MS

153 ARS

Fellow Booms,

As of Oct 2010, Key Field we will no longer possess a tanker manning document and will begin conversion to the C-27 (JCA) aircraft. Some of our booms will retire technician and others militarily participate in other programs. The remainder will become Loadmasters. The JCA mission works for the Army (culture clash) while deployed and should provide some interesting moments for our career enlisted aviators (CEA’s). As many of you are aware, Meridian has been managing the MC- 12W “Project Liberty” FTU schoolhouse for ACC. Many of our booms operators are dual qualified and fly with active duty students as Sensor Operators Instructors. The Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) world has been an eye opening event for a tanker unit. It has also been one of the most rewarding experiences we could have ever been associated with. This airplane/mission has saved many lives and is credited with changing the game. We are currently unsure how long this mission will stay in Meridian. As for me, it has been a great and rewarding career as a boom operator. After, working with multiple CEA’s from numerous AFSC’s, the boom community is light years ahead of everyone. Take care and good luck. We are all going to need it.

CAREER ENLISTED AVIATOR CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

MSgt David “Stu” Decou: Stu just showed from Scott and came fully equipped pulling his house. Taking over as the resident boom CDC writer, Stu has literally hit the ground running. In fact, Stu has logged more time in Louisiana and distant cities than in San Antonio, although, who could really blame him? Recently, Stu has graciously promised to host an “Animals in the Woods” and open up his home on wheels. Come Monday morning, we are sure that Stu will have a vacancy notice.

TSgt Justin Konicke: After four years of not flying, Old Moose will hop on just about anything that has two wings and drinks JP-8. In the mean time, Justin is still running the BBOC course as the Instructor Supervisor, with an iron fist…or something like that. When he’s not teaching (which is pretty much all the time) you can find him on craigslist searching for “bike parts”. Yeah that’s what we’ll call it.

TSgt Shawn “I’m not slowing down for you” Lightner: Shawn just got here, but already Aircrew Fundamentals has him pushing his 1000th class. This guy is known as “Sergeant Rapid Fire” by the students, as he can teach a 3 week course in just 8 hours- no lie! Expect to see Shawn as the next winner of the AFSO 21 award. But seriously, he’s a good dude and we’re glad to have him. And hopefully, someday we can get him to hang out with the booms.

SSgt Chardo Richardson: Where do we begin with Chardo? Well, besides his uncanny ability to attract psychotic women and his fetish for BMWs that he can’t afford, he’s doing pretty well. The “Workhorse of BBOC”, if you’ve come through the course in the last 2 years he was your instructor. Chardo you should really take a vacation… or buy another beamer. Update: In the time it took me to write this, Chardo has bought another BMW! Let’s not tell him that the same model car he purchased with just two less doors and “sport tuned suspension” is basically the same car he owned before, albeit with 10K added to his note.

SSgt DeBoris Leonard: Great news, by the times the signal hits the press, D should be a TSgt! Of course he did not do it the old fashioned way by spending hours studying the SKT and PFE, instead, D has joined the Reserves. Fortunately, D will be coming back to the 344th for another tour of teaching. Although D thinks this is a great deal, when his tour is complete he might just have to become a loadmaster.

86 SSgt Robert “I’m Outstanding” Miller: Take a deep breath and then read the remainder of this sentence; Bob was AETC’s Outstanding Honor Guard member of the year. This guy needs an Academy Award because he has fooled the entire NAF into thinking he’s a good person. Seriously though, we are all proud of Ole Bob. When he’s not being outstanding, Bob can usually be found trying to weasel out of teaching the Fundamentals course.

SMSgt Ed Penton: Can be seen driving his bike in downtown Tampa yellin at the ladies. Ed "Red Neck" Penton can also be found workin on his clasic car for is daughter or dropin a line in the gulf. If you're lucky, you may even find him working in the IG shop.

MSgt Bert Fristad: The boom superintendent. Cried when her heard about Tiger. He had to take a week of leave to recoup and his clubs came with him. It’s alright, it’s just golf.

MSgt Dave Coggin: Our good ol’ chief boom. Still the tallest guy in the squadron, and the dude most likely to answer the door for the Adams Family. Hahah! Tha was a good one.

MSgt Seiler: Working wing scheduling is not far enough to dodge the long arm of Al Udeid! Ain't the summer plus up a B**ch!!

TSgt Andrews: He’s s quiet guy from Altus, not sure what to say about him because he pretty much keeps to himself. Returned from his first MacDill deployment and transferred straight to XP...What the H*ll. We do know he's getting married. Yes, he has been councled. Congrats.

“AARG! (AIR REFUELING RESERVE GUYS)”

Greetings all! Another busy year has passed and no end in sight. We finished up an ASEV inspection just in time to deploy to two locations a full year ahead of schedule after moving here from Selfridge ANGB, MI. We had a few crews go east whilst the bulk of the unit held down the beaches of Guam with a few weeks “down range” at RAAF Amberly helping the Aussies. Now we are gearing up for an ORI/NORI. We are still working out of trailers on the flight line while work continues on our new Ops building, we should be moving in soon but they have been telling us that for two years now. We can’t wait for things to slow down but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

ASSIGNED BOOMS

TSgt Thomas Black: (TR) Tom is a full up boom who cross-trained from the C-130 world. He recently opened his own business at St. Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport teaching A&P, Pilot and Instrument Pilot ground schools. He has two beautiful airplanes that he rents out as well.

MSgt Bruce Clemmer: (ART) Bruce is our training NCOIC now. This is not the first time he has done this job and he is doing a great job keeping his boss out of trouble. A lot of corporate knowledge there, he knows a little about everything.

SSgt Phillip Costine: (TR) Phil is on orders now helping out doing UDM duties. He went back to his old job working at a grocery store warehouse for a while but he likes doing this job more and finds every excuse to be out here. He and his wife recently moved to Brandon.

SrA Omar Ellis: (TR) Omar came back to MacDill just about a year after driving through the gate waving a finger to the gate guards swearing to never have anything to do with the military again. We just finished his requal and now he is learning to balance home life, school, and working here. He goes to some hippie, liberal film school here in Tampa; I think he got an A in Finger Painting 101.

SrA Chris Fallon: (TR) Chris is another one who left active duty for a while and now wants to get back into flying. He has only been here a few months so we are still trying to figure him out. He is working on certifications for EMT and fire-fighting; he has applied to several places looking for a real job.

95 CMSgt John Fill: (ART) Chief Boom Operator. While not at work he is usually staying safe “inside the wire” of the gated community where he lives. We are not sure if he is paying rent though.

TSgt Trevor Halpain: (ART) Trevor now works as a mission scheduler. He complains a lot……He is very eager to offer his opinion on how things are not right and how they could be improved upon. In his spare time he likes to hang out next to his pool drinking a cold home brew.

SSgt Nate Hooper: (TR) Hoop is a full time student but manages to help us out flying during the week or taking a trip when he can fit it in.

TSgt Matthew Janson: “Mattie J” another full time college student. We are not sure we like having this many smart people around us, makes some of us look real dumb. Matt just got a new dog and is working on his golf game.

TSgt Max Langford: (ART, for now) Max is looking for a career change; he has had it with the ART program and being the UDM and wants to try something new where he can keep his sleeves rolled up. He has applications in everywhere from Wisconsin to Polk County Florida.

MSgt John Mercer: (TR) John is doing great things here and at HQ. They are always asking him to come up there and help dust off the cob webs of some old program that has been sitting on a shelf. He recently bought a new place here in South Tampa.

MSgt Johnny Pullen: (ART) He’s a body scheduler now. Learning to become a G2 guru. When he can’t fill the schedule or a trip with volunteers, he goes. He is flying about seven times a week. In his spare time he enjoys jumping out of airplanes or cage fighting.

CMSgt Bob Renn: (ART) 927 OG/OGV – Bob is adjusting nicely to Florida living, he just finished up putting in new swimming pool at home and has knocked two strokes off his golf game.

SMSgt Greg Ringel: (TR) Greg is a former ART and is sticking it out with us a traditional reservist, riding the UTA shuttle down from Michigan and going on a trip here and there. I think he spends more time traveling for his civilian job with the Army.

MSgt Pete “Stu-y” Stulginski: (TR/ART wannabe) Pete is a former dot watcher on AWACS. We recently upgraded him to instructor. He and his wife recently had their second child, a baby girl. He still finds the time to fly here and a trip or two to help pay the bills.

TSgt (soon to be 2Lt) Jared Wahleithner: (TR) Jared is at OTS right now and is destined to go to yoke and pedal school. He spent his last 8 months enlisted deployed to Ramstein working at the C-17 Stage.

SrA Lance “Juice” Welch: (TR) Full time student at University of South Florida. He is good for taking the working trips in return for the good ones. One of the good guys, wish we had more like him.

“RAVENS”

Squadron Superintendent

MSgt Derrick Grant: He is the heart and “soul” of the squadron. If it was determined that BIG MOMMA lives inside of a male boom, it’s most likely him. He is again married, however, this time he kept his maiden-name.

Operations Superintendent

TSgt Christopher Witt: (Chris #1) His biggest decision this year is whether to deploy where he would miss the Viking and Packers game or miss the fantasy football draft. Boy it’s hard being a squadron Ops Superintendent, boom, and evaluator.

Readiness Superintendent

TSgt John Baughman: Is he on loan? Attached? On leave? Nope, He’s just on another business effort.

NCOIC Stan/Eval

TSgt Ronald a.k.a “Skunk Boy” Mackmeeken: After a stellar year and a phenomenal job at OST, he decided to stop babysitting the Pipeline Booms in MCT. Little did he know, he is becoming a Daddy again at 35. Have fun at those Football games when you’re 50.

Readiness

TSgt Anthony Hardesty: Aerial port turned aerial refueler. He was SO eager to return to McConnell and start flying that he left his flight records at Altus. Patience young boomer..

SrA Dustin Confer: Our resident Maury Show candidate, also a BTZ selection, seems to be MPRS qualified only for local flights, but when a MPRS red flag drops down, guess who’s not going. It’s hard paying dues.

A1C Christopher Correa: (Chris #2) is second in the Chris foursome in the squadron. He is also part of “Harrea” (Harris/Correa), as he has a twin in Chris Harris. As a new member of “Ginness fitness” he too likes to forget about his legs during all muscle-building workouts.

101 A1C Christopher Reed: (Chris #4). Reed? Who? Oh yeah, he is deployed again, for the 3rd time this year, or he is in GA for a multilat seeing how those are the only two places he goes.

A1C Stephen Mertens: New call sign in squeaky (Clean A$$ Record). Dude has ZERO folly instances yet. Good on him!!

Scheduling

SSgt Larry King: The most southern sounding voice to clear someone to contact, EVER!...He used to be a weapons troop (seems like he is still one, with as many weapons he has), then he saw the “LAIGHT” as he would say.

SSgt Alex McGinness: Found the time to complete CFIC in between hoggin and deploying. Our local squadron travel agent, know how NOT to use space A after getting stuck in Germany an extra week. He seems a little lost since his twin has departed.

SrA Rob White: This guy was deployed 290 days last year…does anyone out there remember NOT seeing him out in the desert? Took the “resident MPRS expert” reins from Aaron Austin. 6-to-1 in combat to local sortie hour ratio. His break from the deid is a short trip to Altus.

A1C Marcus “Training Wheels” Hudson: Resident Motorcycle Safety expert, we meant “Crash Dummy.” He wrecked a motorcycle during a test drive, but consoled his broken bones with visits from 100 Candy Stripers. He is truly the Energizer Bunny. Welcome back to flying.

Training

SSgt Patrick Martin: Patty, pardon the “ROID RAGE” Martin. He dodged the ALS billet and his wife has returned from a “Real” deployment not the Died. He led our Stan/Eval shop to a successful ASEV, and now promoted to the NCOIC of training.

(S)Sgt Cody Brister: He or she appointed as the president of the Airman’s Council has other airman that take care of his or her business, while the pres reaps the credit—Cody must be the 344th’s Airman’s Council president now.

SrA Melissa Collins: What is she going to decide that she DOESN’T want to do next? One last deployment, then an across-the-pond fini-flight.

A1C Christopher Harris: (Chris #3) is the 3rd Chris of the four (good thing Joyce left) He’s our resident Cleveland (the Cleveland Show) impersonator, not by appearance, of course. He is the other half of the “Harrea” twins (Harris/Correa)

A1C LJ a.k.a “LG (Little Ginness) Monahan: LG is the only dorm resident with a 50 inch television. He is currently completing his first deployment, when he is home his trying to Hog like Guinness.

102 Attached/On Loan

TSgt Warren W. Weldon: .COM This guy knows everything that most people don’t, i.e., what the W. stands for. He is now heading up to the XP shop. It takes quite a character to require a room with no widows…..

SSgt Brandon “Happy” Holaday: The 344th will have 3 Holiday parties this year: one celebrating his marriage, the December annual, and one for the bully’s departure from the squadron to go terrorize the Tactics shop.

Line Booms

A1C Loraine Porter: Fresh out of jail as most of us all know it. (Altus Pipeline) She will be a great addition to our line booms, out there to get some hours.

“BANDITS”

SMSgt Rod Targos: McConnell has struck back since the day he arrived here. He first broke his leg while inprocessing and then returned from a deployment with bladder cancer. He is still the big man around here taking care of everyone.

Superintendent

MSgt Justin “JoJo” Johansen: Returned to McConnell after a tour by the Altus sea and went to the 344th, now in the 349th to take over for SMSgt Targos. 1 more squadron to go and he will have been in every squadron in the OG.

Operations Supt

MSgt Steven Bishop: Returned to us after a short stay in XP and still loving the tanker life.

STAN EVAL

MSgt Michael Webster: We give him a nice office, he then sews on MSgt while deployed, and then gets orders to Kadena. Short stay in McConnell and enjoy your new assignment.

MSgt Rodney “Hot Rod” Ward: Back to the squadron from Special Ops land and will be keeping the checkrides flowing when MSgt Webster leaves. Still the best in shape Boom and does triathlons now.

SSgt Brandon McAnally: Our once only SrA evaluator has enjoyed life as a dad and has already got his deployment done since the ASEV is over.

Training Flight

TSgt Gary Shamlian: Was rocking the deployment as Chief Boom when the curse of the bad back rose up. Now he wanders around “feeling good” awaiting his surgery.

(T)Sgt James Morter: Came to us from Wing Tactics and right away we sent him to be Chief Boom at Red Flag. Did a great job and is a welcome IB to the squadron.

SSgt Sherwin Carino: Came back to McConnell by way of the CRG. Keeping him busy with lots of trips.

(S)Sgt Zachary “The Don” Donarski: Seems to not be DNIF as much as last year, maybe all that dry desert air is helping.

104 SrA Michael Cerni: Enjoys being an IB, but wanted out of Scheduling, so here ya go. Completed ALS after a little nudging, did a great job.

Scheduling

(T)Sgt John McIlvoy: Is running the crazy schedule, but still not really known. Gets the job done quietly, almost ghost like.

SrA Patrick Murray: Doing well as a boom and likes the desert lifestyle, now if he can decide to go to CFIC or not.

A1C Renee Over: Get out of my way, superstar coming thru! Completed MCT and already done with her 1st deployment.

A1C Catherine Norcom: Just arrived from Altus after the ice storm and completing MCT.

Readiness

TSgt Ralph “WTF” Hoffmann: The man with the most voices in his head is running our biggest flight. Another one returning after a stay on the Altus beach.

SSgt Charles Adams: Still a karaoke singing machine, but is now being pulled in by the above. He is getting his supervisor learn on.

SrA Mark Waski: Still a road warrior and starting to get his learn on for a crack at CFIC.

A1C John Hadden: Still a road warrior and probably the most respectful boom in the squadron.

A1C Derek Lyles: Completed MCT and went on the road and is about to go out for his 2nd tour of fun. Better get his CDCs done before Hoffmann spins thru the roof.

A1C Justin Miller: Turning into a top notched boom thru hard work and earned SrA BTZ!

A1C Justin Yow: Just arrived from Altus after the ice storm and completing MCT.

A1C Bryan Lee: Our 3rd new one in MCT, but the Dental office is slowing his training down.

Attached

MSgt Micheal Murray: Was the Ops Supt and now is in the vault teaching our favorite subject.

MSgt Fred Ramey: Taken from his OGS life and put in charge of OST.

“RED FALCONS”

Greetings from the 350th Red Falcons; where the land is actually flatter than a pancake and the wind never stops blowing. This past year has been a busy one for the “Red Falcons” between OIF/OEF deployments, a NNORI, Business Efforts, Coronets, Coaches Tours, Air Shows and weekly RT A/R on 330WE the squadron booms have performed brilliantly. Despite the schedule, Red Falcon booms have managed to garner an OTS slot, complete six CCAF degrees, one Bachelor degree, one Affiliation Phase I & II graduate, two CATS graduates, two CFIC IB graduates, four new babies with two on the way; all while having a blast doing the best job in the Air Force. We have a great bunch of booms in the “Fighting 350th “and if you’re ever in town, stop by, say hello and have a cold one on us.

Boom Stowed!

Our current line-up

SMSgt Tim “Hammer” Ballentine - Squadron Superintendent: Took two FBs on a McChord Business Effort and decided to take most of the contacts from them. 47 contacts for Senior, 18 for the two combined. Using the old 2 for me, 1 for you concept, evidently still works.

MSgt Jason “Crash” Hall – Operations Superintendent (EB): Recently went head to head in a demolition derby. We thought the only damage done was to his truck, and then he purchased a 2- wheel drive F-150. The head trauma must have been worse than first suspected. Headed to OGV in June.

STAN/EVAL

TSgt Drew Sottovia (EB): Drew can be seen walking the halls of the squadron with a “Red Falcon” coffee cup in his hand – it will most likely have to be surgically removed. Our Stan/Eval Chief Boom. New dad again!

SSgt Ryan “Santa” Clauss (EB): Has been giving away Q-1s like candy, but he has been doing the same with his teeth at the dental hobby shop. If they keep torturing Ryan, he’s going to look like a Jack-o-Lantern. Currently on “Baby Watch”.

SrA Lucas “Lucky Charms” Treat: Wife got a hold of his Lucky Charms and 9 months later, he has a girl. Congrats Lucas, now go buy a shotgun.

106 TRAINING FLIGHT

SSgt Logan “A&W” Berry (IB): When not making homemade sarsaparilla in his basement, Logan is traveling the world in search of the best root beer. Too bad most of his time is spent in the Deid. Root Beer “Rip It” anyone?

SrA Killian “E&E” Lange (IB): SERE’s got nothing on her. Rumor has it our resident ninja is sharing her skills with the TCNs and bought a summer home there too. She spends more time in Qatar than the locals.

SrA Chad “Punxsutawney Phil” McHenry (IB): Was pissed that he saw his shadow again this year and caused an ice storm while at upgrade. It got him out of Altus for a week, but had to go right back when it was done. Nice try Chad. Our newest instructor in the unit.

A FLIGHT

MSgt Jerod “Trip” Norden: Cross trained from the “Aerial Port World”. Can’t take Jerod anywhere without him falling down. The only boom in the Air Force required wearing his helmet while on the ground.

A1C Hunter “Mohammed” Larousse: Hunter’s gone native and got trained by Don Johnson in Deid living. The next time you head over to the desert. Look for a bearded American sitting on a camel, at the front gate, yelling “Infidels!” and you’ll know who it is.

A1C Chadwick Doran: “Jon & Kate+ 8” - yeah right! Chadwick just turned 22, has 17 kids and does not understand why his wife keeps getting pregnant. Word on the street is he is looking to buy a school bus. On “Baby Watch” again.

A1C Landon Iverson: Super boom in the making, just needs to work on his accent. “Hey ya’ll, back 4” or “Cleared to contact, good buddy”.

A1C Steven “Bathtub” Bowdich: Tried to recreate a water park fun ride in his hotel room. Never one to be selfish, Steven shared the white water rapids with the crew chief rooming the floor below him.

A1C Wano Yrjanainen: Pronounced (Y+9) First day he moved into his apartment complex, a man was shot to death and thrown out a window. Welcome to your first assignment Wano.

SCHEDULING FLIGHT

TSgt Jesse “Meerkat” Meagher: He would sit at the table in the chow hall, like a Meerkat perched on a hill, scoping out the approaching females. I’m surprised he wasn’t wearing a neck brace when he returned. He’s back out in the Deid now, coincidence, I think not.

SSgt Aaron Smith: Doesn’t know if he’s a flyer or not, wears ABUs 24/7. He has taken being in the Land of Oz to another level and trying to become the “Tin Man”.

107 SrA Theo “OJ” Dinwiddie: Theo put an entire orange in the toilet during his first combat mission. The over the shoulder IP told Theo that his "poop" stinks and Theo should put some orange peels in latrine so it doesn't smell as bad. He opened up an orange and put the entire thing in the toilet. Maintenance loved that so much, they called the DO and Theo had to go back to the jet and “fish” it out.

A1C Terry “Flood Victim” Harman: Decided he wanted a pool when he got into base housing. The housing office wouldn’t let him have one in the yard, so Terry created one in his basement. Way to stick it to the man. New Dad!

READINESS FLIGHT

TSgt Lori-Lyn Froehlich: Cross trained from the “Cop World”. Filled in as the Sq & Ops Supt for two weeks--now ready to be the OG Supt next!...... Ok, let’s work on getting you some flight hours first. New Mom!

SrA Jeff “Fire” Wall: Just arrived at the jet in “the Deid”, Jeff thought it appropriate to test the containment ability of the alert van. He discharged a chemical fire extinguisher, creating an atomic pink cloud and fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a firefighter.

ATTACHED/ON LOAN

TSgt Pat “Killer” Haney (IB)/OST: “Any yous guys calls me Francis and I’ll kill ya!” - Looks like Pat will make it back into the squadron DOT from OST. I can see a new boom tell him good morning: Pat will light him up like Sam Elliot in “We Were Soldiers”.

SSgt James “It’s not a marijuana leaf, it’s a buckeye!” Morter (IB)/TACTICS: At the start of the coaches’ tour, he was so excited to meet Jim Tressel, the AC made him sit on his hands. By the end of the trip there was a restraining order against him. Don’t ask Jim about it though; not only will he deny it, he will show you his tattoo of the coach. Moving to the 349th later this year.

SSgt Don “Juan” Johnson (IB)/TACTICS: The E-Harmony persistence paid off. Someone actually bought the long walks on the beach, I love puppies line. Don is…The most interesting man alive. He doesn’t always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis. “Stay thirsty, my friends.”

SSgt Heather “Scully” Barnes (IB)/SOAR: She suddenly disappeared into the SOAR world, and is rumored to be riding motorcycles with Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa.

EXEC

TSgt Jason “Brain” Burianek (IB): Brain has never been accused of carrying on an intellectual conversation. When he starts to talk in the squadron the lieutenants are told, “Ear muffs!” and the NC-17 light comes on.

LOSSES

SrA Joe “Magic” Ware: He was a figment of the imagination; now you see him now you don’t.

108 SrA Kyle Zuber – 2Lt Boom Operator: listed that way in Virtual, must be true.: Kyle departed to the dark side to become an officer and a navigator. He will be the only Nav in AMC to get Boom of the Year for 2011.

SSgt Marcus “Shank” Mayfield: Off to parts unknown. Probably back in the Turkish prison or as he likes to call it “School”, teaching the fine art of the shiv.

109 MCCONNELL AFB, KS

384 ARS

“SQUARE PATCHERS”

The 384th has done amazing things this year as have all the squadrons. We are the proud winners of the SMSgt Albert L. Evans award! We have acquired some great new talent this year and we look forward to getting everyone trained up so they can win the war! See y’all out on the road!

Group Superintendant SMSgt Darin “Jet” Jetton: He departed Raven’s Nest to lead the helm at the Group. He fought a good battle to accomplish in-house CFIC, but to quote Black Hawk Down, “You know what I think? Don't really matter what you think, you are going to Altus.” He is an exceptional Instructor Boom and doing an outstanding job taking care of the McConnell Boom Operators, but we need to get him a special “Spell Check” icon for Microsoft Office.

Chief boom/ Superintendant MSgt Brad Wolfe: The only guy I know who can go from being 50 to 51 to 61 in a matter of ten minutes…just ask him about the “birthday” party we threw for him. He is one of the new guys in the squadron from the CRW at McGuire. He’s currently taking on the job of SMSgt Jacobs and MSgt Morkin, you could say his plate is pretty full at the moment. For those of you who remember him from Altus, yes he still has his Star Wars “action figures” on his desk!

STAN/ EVAL

TSgt Jeff Stoermer: Or as we like to call him, “good deal Jeff”. You’ll never see this old man around the squadron because he’s always surfin’ it up in Hawaii or on some sweet deal around the world…he’s got pictures to prove it! Right around the time all the good TDY’s come around he’s hookin’ people on check rides so he’s the only boom left to go...good thinking Jeff! Currently he’s on a pretty sweet deal to the Deid.

SSgt Clint “Lawdawg” Laughman: Joined us from Mildenhall about a year ago and is doing a great job getting people trained up and keeping them current. He’s a really great addition to the squadron, keep up the good work!

TRAINING

TSgt Joe Cofield: Another one of our great IB’s here in the squadron. If you ever need him for anything you better catch him when you see him because you never know when you’re going to see him around again. He’s probably hanging out in his wife’s squadron since she recently graduated from OTS… Lock it up, sergeant!

110 TSgt Doug “Dougie fresh” Boren: The first IP/Boom I have seen at McConnell! No one is safe on a flight, pilots and booms alike make sure they are well versed in everything the KC-135 has to offer so they don’t get stumped by this guy. He was a contestant in the AMC idol and tried out for tops in blue and was also recently step promoted to Tech, Good job Doug!

SrA Stephen “Boner” Bowman: The nickname still stands. I don’t think he can get away from the stories, recently he’s been known as the kid that fell out of the cargo door. Somehow he landed on his feet and SWEARS he didn’t spill any “fluids” on him from the white tubes in the latrine…we all know the truth, though. He’s deployed again (hopefully no repeats!) and when he gets back will be focusing on Instructor upgrade.

SrA Andy “Little Deck” Deck: If you’ve ever deployed or even hung out with him then you know he has excellent taste in music. From Miley Cyrus to Ke$ha, he keeps the party in the USA goin! He recently upgraded to instructor and has been corrupting baby booms ever since.

MOBILITY

TSgt Jeff Hollaway: When he’s not talking about his house or about volleyball you can find him leading a group of young airmen out to load cargo. Just make sure he has a checklist with him when putting in the tail support strut so maintenance doesn’t come over and throw a fit!

SSgt Dustin Page: Need a mofo review? This is the guy you want to talk to. Dustin has one TCN deployment and one deployment as a boom under his belt. Once he gets back up on his feet he’ll be ready to rock the desert again with his skills at handling a boom.

SSgt Jeremiah Haas: I have never seen anyone more excited to be a boom than this guy. Of course I would be pretty happy to be a “zipper-suited sun God” too if I had worked my first enlistment as a paper-pushing finance guy too…Yikes! He has been a great asset to the squadron with his eagerness to learn all he can.

A1C Rashaud Watson: Whether it’s flying a boom or lifting weights at the gym, this kid is sharp! Those 80’s haircuts he used to sport lightened the mood of the squadron on dull Mondays, making it feel like an episode of The Cosby Show or Family Matters.

A1C Sam Johnson: Our newest boom from Altus, right now he’s in MCT. We can’t wait to have him in the squadron so we can deploy him. We expect great things from him!

SAFETY

SSgt Adam Mosier: “Someday I’ll quit smoking”…Yeah right, so that means never in Adam’s world? He’s taking a little break from the deployed lifestyle after spending 6 months getting booms through MCT. He spent one month in the squadron before getting hit with orders to the CRW at McGuire. Keep your head down and your powder dry, Adam!

SrA Charles “Big Head” Robertson: Never thought having a head that big was possible…I guess you learn something new every day. He does a great job making sure the squadron stays safe even when he’s deployed. I’m sure everyone feels safer knowing he’s helping to win the war across the ocean.

111 SCHEDULING

TSgt Cesar Flores: He came to Kansas ready to rock McConnell. It’s no shock he made a great score on the CDC’s and even brought back some awards from the NCO academy. Cesar is pretty high speed and gets stuff done around the squadron and around base. I’m pretty sure that somewhere in his EPR it says he donated his kidney to 8 different kids because he cares that much. More great things to come from him I’m sure.

SSgt Matt Hunsinger: Finally, the oldest SrA I have ever known got promoted. Now if only we can get people to stop laughing when they hear or say SSgt Hunsinger. He pretty much holds the scheduling shop together but I’m sure he’s happy to be moving out of here soon.

SrA Parker McElroy: He barely got a break in between coming back from CFIC and being deployed, not to mention moving on top of all that. We knew he could handle it! Being able to juggle all that is part of what makes him a good scheduler. I’m sure if you ask him he’d say he’d rather be flying. We know his heart is really in scheduling though, don’t worry Parker we’ll take care of you!

SrA Andrew Kueffler: Only took him 18 months of non-stop schooling to get his Bachelor’s degree. I’m sure it wasn’t easy with all the deployments and taking care of his family, Congrats Drew! Now he’s got all the time in the world to tell us about why the Packers are going to make it to the Super Bowl. Don’t you have some masters classes you could start taking?

A1C Kristin Bailey: Note to self: flight docs=Bad, but good news for scheduling right? Now at least we don’t have to count on officers to get stuff done, because we all know how that works out. At least she got a trip to Vegas first!

A1C Lee Hart: “I don’t do cargo.” Yeah, Lee, the whole base knows, so I think you’re safe there. Straight out of MCT she started showing us what we have to look forward to. She got a Q1 on her ASEV check on her first flight out of MCT and got coined by the AMC ASEV inspector. I think it’s safe to say we have nothing to worry about with her.

EXECS

SrA Nate Bahr: Our only enlisted exec, which makes sense since he got SrA BTZ and Airman of the quarter for the OG. Don’t let that go to your head! Anything else you want to shock us with Nate?

ATTACHED/ ON LOAN

SSgt Jon Pierre “JP” Castech: Is happily making things happen in the soar shop. Lucky for us he loves flying whenever he can, and mostly with students. I think we can make that happen for you JP.

SMSgt Paul Jacobs: Looks like he taught us all we ever need to know here at the 384th, why else would he be leaving us for the OGV? It won’t be the same without you, Paul, and you know it! Good luck at the NEXT level!

112 LOSSES

SMSgt Paul Wallace: We all know he’s sad he has to leave McConnell to go to Mildenhall. England might not be that great, Paul, but at least you always have the memories of McConnell to comfort you!

MSgt Max Morkin: Another great boom heading to Mildenhall. Going to miss seeing this guy’s smiling face around the squadron, although I’m not sure many people have been “lucky” enough to see that. Have fun over there!

SrA “Angry” Phil Inmon: He is on terminal leave as of a month ago. He’s going to be bumming off his wife, Andrea Otto, over in the CRG at Guam…he better make sure dinner is on the table when she gets home. The last couple of days around the squadron he was smiling more than anyone has ever seen him smile, that definitely scared some people. He is probably the only boom alive that actually loved doing paperwork. Good luck in Guam!

INBOUND

Amn Willard: In the pipeline at Altus, ARCT of August.

TSgt Hobbs: Cross-trainee, ex-fire fighter from Kadena. Inbound McConnell at the end of May, starts BIQ September.

SOAR SHOP

MSgt Rodney K. Ward- Superintendent: When not tearing up the roadways and the pool preparing for Ironman events, he is busy pulling his hair out trying to finish up his degree. Moving back to the 349th this spring and getting the retirement itch.

MSgt Fred Ramey- NCOIC Logistics Planning: Fred is a mother… I mean he is a new father. Congrats to Fred on the birth of his new baby girl. 2 SNCO’s in one shop was too many so they gave both of them new jobs. Fred’s TALCE experience will be missed in the SOAR shop as he is moving on to OST to train our baby booms. Better get used to “my instructor from Altus said…”!!

SSgt Jon Pierre “JP” Castech- Logistics Planner: JP brews his own beer!! Enough said. JP knows more about the multi-lat world than anybody. He has been the one constant in the SOAR shop for nearly 2 years. He used all his knowledge to deploy for 2 months, upon his return the two mentioned above had new jobs. Now he has to use his knowledge to train the two mentioned below.

SSgt Heather Barnes- Logistics Planner rookie: Brand new to the SOAR shop from the 350th ARS. Get all the stink on her from the 350th ARS page. “Heather, stop walking. That image in the mirror that looks like you getting closer, is probably you getting closer”

TSgt Jeff Stoermer- JP’s new boss: Jeff will move over to the SOAR shop in July upon his return from a TDY. Get all the stink on Jeff from the 384th ARS page.

“NO SCAB IS TOO SMALL”

Greetings and salutations from the First KC-135 associate Reserve unit. We currently have 35 booms and hoping for some expansion soon. The current rumor is that we may become a wing in the near future. That has about as much truth as when the AMCC says “ATOC is on their way” and “you have no passengers.” We will be seeing a lot of our Active Duty brothers and sisters in the coming year as the Reserve Command is beginning four month rolling activations for the KC-135 units. Of course we get to start out in the Deid.

CMSgt Don “Farmer” Askren (Ret): Rancher extraordinaire! He is now neck deep in the cattle business. His door is always open, stop by anytime for a horse ride and a cold one. Chief Retired in October 2009 and went back to school…to learn to shoe horses, he is now the town farrier.

MSgt John “Tex” Austin (ART): Has moved to the Training Shop and is still the additional duty monger. No project is too big and no time table is too short.

TSgt Warren “Bear” Bearup (ART): Bear is moving to the long range scheduling shop. He finally finished his Bachelors degree and is searching for another way to keep the G.I. Bill rolling in. He also has a passion for running a fireworks stand in the summer. We think he is planning on another go at it this year. Not sure what he will spend the money on this time.

MSgt Brad “Newlywed” Beyer (TR): Yes, you read it correctly. Brad has found him a keeper and they tied the knot over Christmas. He is still tethered to the 22ARW as their long range scheduler. He says that he loves his job but we all know that he just wants to sit and ogle his wife who works two cubicles over.

TSgt Kevin “Bobby Bouche” Bouchard (TR): He never ceases to amaze us. He is still a conductor for BNSF working the trains in way northern Nebraska. Never misses a UTA and still manages to make it back to work on Monday.

Sra Greg “Quiet Man” Brashier (TR): Greg has been here a year and has impressed everyone by his “can do attitude”. He is also a civilian instructor pilot at a local airfield. Our guess is that he will want to cross over to the dark side and drive the bus one of these days.

TSgt Greg “W.O.W. Master” Carron (TR): He is looking to retire this next year. He is able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and is looking forward retirement. He is still working as a systems engineer with a local computer network company and mastering the World Of Warcraft as often as possible.

115 SSgt Tracy Castech (formerly Ogle) (Trougher): New arrival from the 349ARS here at McConnell. She is settling in nicely and is a welcomed addition to our squadron. Our biggest problem is trying to correctly pronounce her new last name. She is taking life easy and working on her Bachelors degree. As proof of her fine interior designer skills just drop by the boom pod and you will see the evidence.

SSgt Christine Chavez (TR): Did a “go around” and is now a new member of the IRR.

SMSgt Gary “Cookie” Cook (TR): Entrepreneur extraordinaire. Gary just started a home based business and is rapidly increasing his client base. Call him if you need a cool squadron T-Shirt. He is still running one of the tanker cells at TACC and is hoping to secure an Active Duty retirement.

SSgt Jacob “Top Gun” Cross (TR): Jacob will be one of our newest pilots. He managed to convince the leadership that his skills as a pilot can’t get any worse than his boom skills. He should be departing for OTS and Pilot training this fall.

SSgt Casey “Scam Artist” Darst (TR): Casey has been selected for pilot training with the Alaska Guard. He departed the fix mid- summer, good luck Casey.

MSgt Darren “The Wedge” Demel (TR): Layoffs are hitting hard and Darren got caught up in it. He is also one of our resident fish frying experts. He likes to use a beer batter…funny thing is though, by the time he coats the fish the mix is dry...hmm.

TSgt Clay “Chemo” Dotson (Trougher): Clay is one of our versatile, go anywhere, anytime troughers. He is currently helping out the 22ARW process the backlog of travel vouchers. If you go through Ellsworth for your travel voucher you will realize Clay is a huge asset to us boom operators. Thanks for keeping us paid!

MSgt Eddie Estagin (TR): Eddie just recently up and moved to Florida to work with Northrup Grumman. It looks like he is finally using that engineering degree for something beneficial. He is planning on dropping his retirement paperwork this fall.

SMSgt Ken “Tigger” Girty (TR): Decided to come back and work a real job again, just finished his re-qual at Altus. He is still fixin’ T-6’s at Vance.

SSgt Jay “GQ” Guldjord (22 ARW BAE Contractor): Jay is another one of our dedicated and highly motivated boom operators, always dependable and ready for any task. He has recently been given the opportunity to impress his skills with BAE. If not at work you can find Jay at the gym working toward his next career as Chippendale’s model.

MSgt Joe “V Check” Halenka (TR): Joe is still working with the 22ARW as a mission executer, a huge asset for the 18 ARS. Days, nights and weekends are spent working with the Active Duty in command post. He is never appreciated for a job well done but the first to be blamed when sorties are cancelled. Thanks for taking the heat Joe!

MSgt Tonya “Dangdo” Halenka (ART): She is our UDM and Unit Health Rep. Her life just got really busy with all of the new activations and trying to complete her Bachelors degree at the same time.

116 TSgt Carla “Ouchie” Phipps (Horner): Carla is now a civilian and enjoying her new married life. She is still working as a counselor with troubled youth, got tired of trying to fix troubled boom operators.

MSgt Darren “D-HO” Horton (ART): He is keeping the short range scheduling team in check. He was recently awarded with the IMPAC privilege and truly enjoys everyone calling him for stuff (NOT). He is also enjoying the finer things of being a new dad.

TSgt Mike “Finch” Kissire (TR): Mike is enjoying the life of a new father, no sleep and long nights. He is still working with Hawker Beachcraft as a program engineer and has recently become a flight chief. We now hear him saying “EPR’s suck”!

MSgt Debbie “Deb” Lee (TR): Deb is still the dedicated night flyer and immediate fill in for any trip heading to either Florida or Hawaii. She made us all proud as a graduate of the SNCOA in residence. She is still working with “Sherman” Williams paints as a HR rep.

SMSgt Ray Lewis (ART): Ray has proven his worth again, during a recent ASEV he received an “EQ”. He also continues to find trips headed west. Way far west, any island destinations with diving. During recent trips to Guam, Ray has found that being below ground is as much fun as being above it.

TSgt Morris “MO” Loncon (Trougher): Boom extraordinaire! No task too large, he is the go to guy. Heart bypass surgery went well; although he still has a ton of thrust he seems to have short vectors.

TSgt Mark “Mac Daddy” McIntosh (TR): Mark and family returned from the rock of Kadena to the isolation of Dyess TX. Still a reliable and dependable boom, we can always get a view of Mark leaving or returning from a TDY. Thanks for always keeping us in your sights.

TSgt Chris “Gump” Norris (Trougher): Trougher of the decade! When not flying or TDY he is either playing rugby, wanting to talk about rugby or wanting you to come watch him play rugby.

SSgt Brian “Olie” Olson (TR): He is still working as a fireman/EMT in Missouri. He is our go to guy if we need a fill in for any trip heading east. He is working hard at completing his Bachelors degree so that he can tell them city boys a thing or two.

There is a rumor that he will give you a free upgrade if you can find him in the airport. He says that he will finish his degree this year. But he said that last year and the year before that. Keep trying Jason.

TSgt Jim “Jimmy” Yokom (ART): Jimmy has been moved from long range scheduler to body scheduler. Hopefully he will bring as much insight to this position as he did to long range. With his computer skills I expect to see ReserveNet replaced with a much more user friendly version soon.

TSgt Matt “Ziggy” Ziegelbein (TR): Matt is positive proof that you can be an Airline Pilot by day and a Boom Operator by night. His true love is passing gas and uses his day job to pay the bills. He is a true asset to the boom union.

“HOME OF THE TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS”

Greetings from the 151st ARS / 134th ARW located at McGhee Tyson AB Knoxville, TN. We’ve made it through another alphabet soup inspection cycle and have just started an AEF. Not many changes on base over the last year but we are told that we may actually get a new Ops building sometime this decade. As always please stop by if you are in town for a school or a graduation. We love to talk shop, drink beer and tell lies.

Jim Quagliana: The Chief is deployed right now with most of the squadron. He only has 4 years left so the rest of us are starting to really kiss ass. Stripes for everybody. Did I mention that he is one handsome man.

Mike Buckner: Do you remember that one big party in high school that everyone still talks about, Buck threw one of those last year and shit got stupid. We have pictures of 40 people in his pool at once. I heard I had a really good time.

Jeff Dyer: Jeff hasn’t had a new wife in over two years…..and we are all living vicariously through him.

Bo Sunderland: Hey Bo, AGR is a better deal than technician.

Mark Allen: Mark is our senior traditional. He is on the downhill slide with only two years to go.

Wayne Atkins: Wayne went through instructor school this year….again. The last time he went they had A-Models. Can you imagine having a student wearing a 6500 hr. patch. He said that when he met his instructor he just looked at him and said, “so you’re the one.”

Ronnie “Crash” Dixon: Crash got stuck with the UDM job somehow. I swear I think that I heard him make up a new curse word last week.

Randy Keener: In the last few years Randy has gotten married to a really beautiful woman and most recently made Senior but he still finds something to bitch about…every… f!@#$%g... day.

Steve Sampson: Steve took a fulltime job in the command post a couple of months ago. Some people will do anything for a fulltime job.

120 Brian Thomas: Shannon and I recently moved from our little YUPPIE house in West Knoxville to a trailer on a 35acre mini-farm. We hope to build sometime this year but let’s face it…we’re living in a f!@#$%g trailer.

Lennie Tipton: Mongo smart.

Eric Jones: EJ is my new hero. He has been an AGR for a year but took a leave of absence from his other job and has been double dipping the whole time.

Bo Rogers: Bo is actually flying in the AOR with us for once. Yep, he’s still a road whore.

Bryan Rollins: Peabody left us to take an O slot with the space weenies…………….bye.

Brent Seymour: Brent finally made Master after 20 years. Some people just can’t take a hint.

J.J. Davenport: JJ’s wife had a baby recently. He doesn’t travel much so it’s probably his.

Tyler Ott: Tater has been very active this year with a long AEF tour and a 30 day MPA gig.

Shannon “Blue” Price: I am convinced that Blue will someday snap and kill us all. He doesn’t bitch about anything. He just nods his head and does his job, no matter what it is. I’m no psychoanalyst but there’s some pinned up shit in there somewhere. Remember when you see it on TV….I called it.

Jared Morgan: You would think that in his second year as a Boom that Meathead would really start to shine…..and you would be wrong.

Melvin Brandenburg: Melvin’s wife had a little one this year too but he does travel a lot….. sooooo who knows.

Jody McKee: Jody is still the quiet guy in the bunch. Every time you walk into the room, he has that shit eating grin on his face. I swear that son of a bitch is talking about me.

Tommy Cole: Tommy was too new to comment on last year and he knows too much shit on me this year so let me just say that he is doing an excellent job.

Terry Mull: Mull is still ugly and I swear to God that I think his wife is under age.

Demoted to Pilot

Lt Col. Kelvin Kuwik: Kelvin went thru Castle in 1976 at the tender age of 17, and was commissioned in 1982. He retired a few months ago…I think

Maj. Liz Matthews: Liz came to us from Forbes a few years ago. She was an engine shop troop until 1993 when she went to Castle. She was commissioned in 1996.

Maj. Jeremy Taylor: Jeremy was a crew chief from 1988 to 1995, went thru Altus as a Boom in 1995 and was commissioned in 1997. He has left the technician world for Delta.

121 Maj. Hiram Williamson: Hiram was a crew chief from 1991 to 1995, went thru Altus in 1995 and was commissioned in 1999. Hiram is now fulltime in Stan Evil.

Moved On

1st Lt. Richard Alan Potts: R.A. took an “O” spot in the 119th Command and Control Squadron here on base. He’s going from wings to spwings.

Capt. Chad Cheatwood: Chad went thru Altus in 1998 and was commissioned in 2002. He is currently flying C-17’s in the Charleston Reserve Unit.

TSgt. Dennis Greenwood: Dennis always has a home in Knoxville at the 134th but for now we have loaned him out to the active duty AWACers at Tinker as a flight engineer. No more four hour FTPs for Dennis.

“SECOND TO NONE”

Senior Leadership

MSgt Chris Prosser: AKA “Meeting Tasker” He has no spare time to fly because he’s always making new binders or pie charts to brief at Boom meetings. When he is not having countless meetings he is losing races to his brothers superior automobile. Maybe he should race him with his beloved spinning bike!

MSgt Lynn Thatcher: Self-proclaimed “Non Kool-Aid” drinker. If he spent half as much time on paperwork instead of telling Prosser to “Stop Drinking the Kool-Aid” we might be able to meet a suspense…maybe even two. Hit by the Air Force MSgt Farewell Tour 2011.

MSgt Joel Salley: It’s Joel…what else is there to say.

MSgt Michael “Reggie” Hammond: Kicked to the AMOS just in time to avoid a Scott assignment. Spends his days fighting off phone calls from people trying to get the job nobody wanted 2 years ago. Laughing his way to retirement/HYT. Still getting money for nothing but the chicks aren't free.\

SrA Alex (AKA Pat Sajek) Woodman MB: Mr. Sarcasm. Took a job flying on the white top.

“FIRST AND FINEST”

Hello to all our fellow professional air refuelers around the world. McGuire is still very active in the GWOT. We have supported the effort with 11 crews on orders throughout the year and handled all our squadron requirements. Not bad for Citizen Airmen! Lost a few personnel through retirement and job opportunities, most leaving on good terms. Only qualified 3 booms this year but that should hold us for another year. 2010/11 looks good; we will probably train 1 or 2 new booms to hold off our retirements. I expect all our booms to become the In-Flight Refueling professionals of the future.

We are still excelling in the awards arena; the 78th Boom Shop nominated two flyers for the AFRC OUTSTANDING AIRCREW MEMBER OF THE YEAR and succeeded in being awarded the SNCO category!! Not too bad, that’s 5 awards in 4 years.

If you transient McGoo make sure to contact the Chief, I know as long as Chief Montgomery is here, there is always an open invitation to stop by to say hello and have a few cold ones. You can always find him at the bowling alley or the VFW, probably cooling off!!!

The ART Force

CMSgt Joel “Big Toe” Montgomery: In this new age of the “paperless” Air Force; Chief is busier than ever cleaning out his inbox and forwarding emails. When is not busy with his email, he still finds time to run the section. His booms live up to the squadron motto of the “First and Finest”.

SMSgt Dan “Riverdance” Ciambrone: Dan has moved to Stan/Eval for the squadron. Due to the member of the 78th being moved around like pawns in a game of chess, the only way you know Dan is at work is when you see him out running.

SMSgt Vic “The Tiger” Guzman: Vic accepted the ART position in the squadron. The staff at the Princeton Marriott held a very nice farewell party for him when he moved out. Vic is going to need all those points he earned due to the pay cut he took. He is doing a fine job of running the 78th like a Guatemalan Prison.

MSgt Ray “The Brain” Cruz: For the third year in a row, Ray has won the coveted 78th ARS “Outstanding Customer Service” award. Ray now works in training, and continues to go TDY over UTAs. Half the 78th think he still works for the 76th.

136 The TR’s

SMSgt Henry “Stick Hog” Grill: Although Henry looks like a wet noodle, he is still the envy of every Boom Operator. We all hope to get his skinny DNA before he retires so we can pass the fit to fight. He is still gainfully employed by SEPTA, and continues to take all the stick time from students. No wonder it takes them so long to get qualified.

MSgt Paul “PW” Carter: Congratulations to PW and his wife on their new baby girl. Mom and baby are doing great, and PW realized he will have to start looking at post retirement job opportunities.

SMSgt Joe “Gigolo” Fenick: Joe is the newest evaluator in the squadron. Vic has been putting him on any check ride he can find. On the bright side, Joe is pretty excited about upgrading because now he has one up on Henry Grill.

MSgt Marty “Yes Sir” Johnson: Rumor has it that Marty will be retiring soon. The other rumor is that he is laughing at all the Techs that think there is a Master slot opening up.

MSgt Roswell “Everyone’s” Friend: Roswell is still a military lawman, guarding the gates of JB MDL. With his Barry White voice it is hard to take him seriously when he tells you to drop your drawers.

MSgt Andy “The Lip” Sylvain: Andy “The Soft Shoe” Sylvain would do a lot better on the fit to fight if it were only a half mile. When he is not perfecting his F2F techniques, he is busy staying current.

TSgt Anthony “Soft Taco” Cleaver: Taco continues to tell everyone how to do their job, and complain about any subject that happens to come up. All “kidding” aside, Taco is a great boom operator. In fact, we have been considering renaming him TABO – Totally Awesome Boom Operator.

MSgt Teddy “Joe Biden” Morales: Ted is our latest promoted to MSgt. Congratulations Ted! He is busy with his civilian job, but manages to show up in the squadron now and again and stay current.

TSgt Rob “Good Deal” Rodriguez: Rob is still working with NYPD and gets on orders when he can. He is really excited that his Charmin stock is up.

MSgt Joe “Ambassador” McGann: Joe has been promoted to Master, a stellar addition to senior NCOs of the section. However, his theory on how to win friends and influence people is to tell them to “shut the f#@% up”.

TSgt Bob “Mr. Hanky” Pavlovec: This guy will work anytime, anywhere. Just don’t ask him any questions about anything. You may not get out alive.

TSgt Paul “Homo Thug” Fennell: Paul has made it off DNIF, and is going through requal training.. again. You would think he would be a pro at this by now.

137 TSgt Chris “Rob” Baez: Chris remains busy with his civilian job, but helps out at the squadron any chance he gets. You wouldn’t realize how much he actually works since he is silent in the shadows. Some think he is the mole.. for who, we are not sure..

TSgt Angel “Coffee, Tea or Me” Gomez: To everyone’s surprise, Angel is still working at his civilian job. It must be about 3 years now. Most of the boom shop was on the losing side of that bet, but are proud that our little Angel is growing up!

TSgt Kingsley “Red Stripe” Rose: Kingsley has been on orders and is always working hard. He was voted “Best Chef” at our annual fly away in PR. Kingsley is a great asset to the squadron.

TSgt Shawn “Slap heard around the World” Moran: Shawn recently settled down and got married. Congratulations Shawn! Shawn’s chameleon like abilities helps him adapt to the unique insane world he creates.

TSgt Jessica “Shocker” Osmer: Jessica was promoted Tech this past year (one month ahead of her husband) and is our newest instructor. After dealing with some of the boom students, she will realize there is just not enough alcohol.

SSgt Ken “Pop Tart” Moeser: Ken has been putting in a lot of active duty time this year. Ken is a huge consumer of the Kellogg’s brand, invest while you still can!

SSgt Nick “I am the best looking guy in the bar” Stolley: Nick hung up his troughing spurs this summer to get a job. He is flying banners at the shore. Be sure to wave (or point and laugh) when you see him flying overhead.

SSgt Rick “Say it isn’t so” Taylor: Rick got married late last year, congrats Rick! According to his wife he is very happy.

SSgt Alicia “Lois” Trudeau: Alicia looks like she is training for a world hunger commercial, or maybe an SPF 1000 ad campaign. To our advantage, she decided to stick with the unit for another couple years, and is getting pretty good at staying current.

SSgt Matt “Sweeeet” Yockey: Another member recently promoted to Tech. Yock is trying to earn the title of King Trougher that Vic relinquished this year. He even turned down the job of the Burger King that Chief got him.

SSgt Jason “Jenny” Craig: Jason is in the running for the boom with the longest time on DNIF. He works as a civilian in the 305-mission development section and helps the booms schedule needed training, so we cut him some slack.

SSg Tim “Mary Kay” Brady: Tim is living the dream on orders now. Since they did away with dual lodging, he is having trouble getting his stuff and himself out of his room.

SSgt Bill “The Vigilante” Vigilante: Congratulations to Bill on making Staff this past year. He has been on active duty orders and works hard for the squadron. Though, some say the temper runs in the blood lines.

138 SrA Joel “The Man” Hildebrand: Being on the road a lot, Joel has finally put on a little weight. He still needs a waiver to get on the flight line when the winds are above 20 knots.

SSgt Nelson Villatoro: Nelson is trying to get tenure as a student. With over 100 credits, he almost has his CCAF, He is a great asset to the squadron, but you have never seen someone work so hard and get nothing done.

TSgt Fran “I don’t work weekends” McLaughlin: Fran is now a fully qualified boom. Good job Fran! He still doesn’t work weekends.

Amn Justin Medina: Justin is an FB now. He still looks like a deer in headlights when he is flying, but as soon as that wears off we will make him an MB.

Entering Orbit:

We expect to have a new hire later this year.

Departed the Track:

SSgt Terry Dowell: Terry joined the 78th from the active duty side of the house. He was with us just long enough to get hired by the pilot side, and is currently in pilot training. Congratulations Terry.

MSgt Jim “Angry Troll” Carden: Jim got an AGR slot as a Sensor Operator at Creech AFB. Congrats Jim! Don’t worry, we won’t miss you much.

The 78th Boom Section hopes all is well for everyone in our career field and if you see the riverboat on the road please give us hell and drink a cold one with us.

HAVE A GREAT AIR FORCE YEAR!!!

“JERSEY TIGERS”

Been a busy year since the last copy of the signal. We retired quite a few E models that were replaced with R models. Did a stint in the desert, which without the help of chief booms, Jason Hall and Mike Ward, we wouldn’t have made it. We followed that with a ASEV inspection. Whew!!! Now we are gearing up for a ORE to be followed by another stint in the desert. If you are passing through McGuire, don’t hesitate to stop by and say hello.

Ken ”I’m ready for my close up, Mr. Deville” Stoddard: Ken is a new boom that came from the flight line via the CRG. He’s been trying to get all the cat quals done for the last 4 months, no fault of his own. In his spare time he is a union card carrying member of the Actors Guild and has had many parts as an extra. So if anybody needs someone to stand around and look pretty, he’s your guy. You probably seen him in a lot of movies if you have super slo-mo.

Jen “Moe” Bowen: Jen is the official leader of the Stooges. Jen bartends in her spare time. She’s also a good bucket bailer, when that once in 50 years flood comes along every six months. Jen wanted to be a truck driver, but they wouldn’t take her. She’s ours and you can’t have her.

Samantha “Curly” Gerofsky: One of the Stooges, very distinctive laugh. Sam has her private pilots’ license and finished her degree last year, not to mention, travelling throughout the south pacific. She absolutely loves to refuel B-1’s. She’s finishing up at the nco academy and really, really , really wants to go to instructor school. She got a new tattoo down under…….in Austrailia.

Marilia “Larry” Rodriguez: The last Stooge. She’s guilty by association with Moe and Curly, just like the real Larry. Marilia holds down a Bravo line for us and does a lot of the backroom and unseen work for the squadron. She got married last year. Just think, the next Stooge gets Shemp!

Jose’ “Hose B” Rodriguez: No relation to Larry. Jose’ works for the Great State of NJ as a claims processor. He is also holding down the occasional Bravo Line. Jose’ calls distances in feet and meters, absolutely amazing. Some of us need Rosetta Stone to figure out what he just said!

Marvin “The Great Kazoo” “The Great and Powerful Oz” “David Blaine” Nichols: The Chief is everywhere, he is all knowing..”pay no attention to the man behind the closed door”, he has points of contact that don’t know they’re points of contact…yet !!!! He can also make stuff (not to be confused with CRG stuff) appear right before your eyes.

140 Tom “Commander, can I call you Bill” Miller: If you think there is a cricket in the room it’s Tom. Has a keen knack for making quaint noises that makes everyone look around for these vermin, all with a straight face. What? It wasn’t me. Master of the thought grenade, pulls the pin and just sits back. Has perfect paper work on every mission, much to Falkowski’s dismay. Nice boots, so shiny you can see right up to his……….

Scott “Downtown” Brown: Scott knows everyone and has the memory of an elephant. Can’t pass a military aircraft model without saying, there’s something wrong with the paint scheme. He’s usually right. Scott has a little more legitimacy lately with his sports teams. They finally have won some championships after all these years. Unfortunately he only likes Boston teams which we all know “^%$#&”. Another supporter of Dave’s paperwork initiative, Scott will have pepperoni .

Bob “Sponge-Bob” Slocum: Finished his first desert deployment and wants to go back! You can count on Bob to study for every test that he takes. He’s the “PO PO” on the outside and can always be counted on for a PBA card which carries a little more weight than our CRG’s “PO PO” officers card. Bob gets all his requirements done early in the training half so he has time to study for all the big CBT tests that are on his plate. He once threatened to give a citation to a KC-10 pilot for being 6 knots over the posted limit.

Brian “Wind Chimes” Kilpatrick:- Brian is the OSF/NCOIC/CLT-MGR/SMSGT/IBO/EBO/EIEIO. Brian is always looking to improve his position inside and outside the gate. He owns a plane and flies quite often by volunteering his time for life flight missions taking patients around the east coast in need of medical attention. Kudo’s for that. Brian is also the POC for our configuration board. So if your unit needs a load plan configuration change, call him. We’re sure he’ll tell you where to put the baggage bins! Brian’s is also looking for a used couch for his office.

Mike “Sly” Sylvester: When Mike is not at the local ER getting stitches and splints for home projects gone bad, he is our Stan/Eval, here’s another FCIF Boom. Mike is a pro at the “on the spot” art work that dramatically changes with each month. Mike has experience in cleaning rental tools by losing control of them as they fly into his Koi pond. Post holes are his forte’.

Miguel “Mikey” Badillo: Miguel is our wing scheduler boom and tries to get us refuelings that matter. His wife is due this summer, so we figure the trips will get better in about August, of course we have to go with Miguel, but that will work too. He’s still trying to win the coveted “These are really clean crew vans” award. (We don’t have that award, but somebody wink-wink doesn’t know that)

Marshall “Minute” Rice: Marshall is our daily body scheduler and former John Deere rep. Marshall went out on a rescue mission to Charlotte NC, and as soon as he stepped off the jet he had an accent as not to highlight himself as a northerner. Again we needed Rosetta Stone to understand him too! He is a man’s man, NO candles, NO air fresheners, NO soft music, NO rainbows, NO satin……….well satin is OK.

141 Dave “I have notes on that….somewhere” Falkowski: Dave works in training with Scott designing diabolical plans to mess with the rest of us. One such plan was developing a monetary penalty for paperwork infractions. Sounded great, mistakes disappeared, financed a nice little pizza party for the booms, too bad 91.3% of the money came from….you guessed it Dave. Program is now defunct. His new hobby is stuffing everything he kills er…. hunts. A beautiful turkey with a 5’ wingspan, needs to build an addition to display it.

Patrick “ O Canada” Ogle: By far has the longest commute. Can’t say how far but rumor has it that he passes 3 refueling units on his trip. He’s ours and you can’t have him. Currently doing a bravo tour. On his off time he flies corporate jets, and doesn’t waste time fixing his commuter transportation. Doesn’t have a jack for it, left it right where it broke down, hoping that some good Samaritan will fix it or gets stolen, either way he gets better tires out of the deal.

CRG Members located at CRG/HQ and CRG stuff:

Joe “Lambchop” LaMantia NCOIC of the ops side of the CRG. He’s the GRG/POC that comes up with all the CRG stuff and CRG things to do, while developing the CRG Master Plan at CRG/HQ in the CRG compound which is very near the CRG SAT phone. Has a photographic memory and knows every wiring diagram known to mankind. Joe also works at Verizon as a system tech on the outside. The CRG uses Sprint by the way.

Otto “The PIGMAN” Petersen: Is always at the base in one capacity or another. Has a Civilian gig with CE on the base. He’s always fixing or laying pipes around the base. Helps out with night flights and works in the CRG doing stuff. A member of the CRG that would be at home in a disaster. Rumor has it his pig cooker was designed to fit on a 463L pallet and stuff. If you ever need a pig to be roasted he’s your man, just call the CRG at the CRG/HQ on the CRG SAT phone

Ed “The Situation” Montalvo: Yup, he is in our unit. Rumor has it he has auditioned for the Jersey Shore 2, 2 ½ , 3 etc., but he really IS the Situation. The producers don’t believe us but it’s true, even Snookie couldn’t help. Plus the CRG needs him to do CRG stuff and things in the CRG on the CRG schedule, in the CRG compound near CRG/ HQ. Did we mention he is in the CRG?

Don “Cool Glasses, Huh?” Smith: Inflight kitchen’s favorite boom operator, he only orders a MRE for his flight. He’ the “PO PO” on the outside, have yet to drop his name on a traffic stop. Don’t know if it would help or hurt. He’s started a eyeglass trend that hasn’t caught on yet , But when it does------He’s currently helping the other boom’s in the CRG doing stuff at CRG/HQ.

Gains this year:

Fontain “Orbit” Maurice-Morris McClary: Should have no problem fitting that on a name tag. The Air Force just loves this kid, 1 full year to get a BMTS slot, another 6 months to get to BBOC, no wait that class has been slipped by a month, OK now you can go to Survival, nope go back to Lackland, then BIQ at Altus. Now go to Survival, Sure hope they don’t shut down for a holiday break. At this pace his first flight will be his finny flight and right off to retirement.

142 Curtis Palmer: Curtis is a quiet person, came from the supply side of the house. We will never need flight gloves again, right? He has a great AGR gig working for the DEA. We are still awaiting the BETM to drop those dates. At least he doesn’t have to wait for BMTS. We hope!

Losses this year:

John “Frustrated” Connors: John has retired after 39 years of service and was our last boots on the ground Viet Nam Veteran. John started by loading “stuff” on A-1 Skyraiders which explained his obsession with shiny things. John had been working on getting every FTP and RUTA that was possible. He found a civilian job and it was time to say “Boom up stowed and latched”

Leyland “Not-so” Fast: Leland went back out west to be with the family. Not sure if he got there yet.

Greg “Gucci” White: He’s yours and you can have him. Was a true Bravo crewmember, always on alert or in crew rest. Found a pilot gig on the other side of the base, Hey Greg can you say consolidate, we can and will! Hehehehehe

Andrew “UPT” Kohlbecker: Andy has found a slot in UPT. Can’t wait til he asks for coffee on a flight. Haven’t heard from the barbershop at UPT, so I guess that’s a good sign!

Alicia Judd: Was an attached active duty boom. Fun to fly with, and helped fill some holes in the schedule. Good luck on your retirement.

KC-10 ATS BOOM INSTRUCTORS

To All Air Refueling Specialists Around The World – Greetings from the Geriatric Ward, also known as the KC-10 Aircrew Training Systems guys at McGuire AFB.

We are:

Steve Fromm Flight Check Airman / Instructor Andy Miller Instructor / Bass Pro Greg Heffron Instructor / Union President Mike Cardina Instructor / Pubs guru James “JC” Coleman Instructor / Golf Pro John Page Instructor / Cynic Steve Smith Instructor / Hazardous Cargo Dude Mark Schumann Instructor / Financial Officer Steve Custis Instructor / Recent Surgery Story-teller Eric “ET” Thomas Instructor / Part-Timer / Full-Time Friend

Together we are a very senior group of guys who have all shared in flying the venerable KC-135 and the newest tanker in the inventory, the KC-10. I just had to say ‘newest’ in that the newest one was bought with FY87 money. We have an aging airframe force to work with, every one of us.

On any given day you can drop by for a visit and find us picking on one of our group, whoever gets singled out for abuse because of recent surgery, or retirement plans or whatever. However, if there’s an attack from outside our “family” we form up and become one solid front in a heartbeat. Though we are an aging bunch of guys we are as one when we speak fondly of the tanker force and that includes both airframes. We need more unity there; from our vantage point there’s too much division between the airframes and it is, plainly speaking, foolishness. We instructors here have had tremendous times on both aircraft and wouldn’t trade it for anything. Anyone who has experienced a water injection takeoff in Guam and held your breath the whole way down (or up) the runway kind of treasures that moment…now that it’s past.

This is a short entry but we just want to say hello to everyone, and remember to put the pole in the hole – precisely, please. Double check the cargo load, and remember to always feed the pax; then turn the heat up and turn the lights down…works every time!

Sending you warm regards, John Page for the KC-10 trainers at McGuire

HQ USAFE STAN/EVAL

TSgt Chris “The Hammer” McCarthy (NCOIC Stan/Eval): Chrris has been rocking Stan/Eval, he also just got back from a sweet two month deployment to Rota. Slacker! He departs in Aug and is heading to the CRG at Travis! Booyah!

TSgt Bob “The Shark” Jenkins (NCOIC Training Flight): Newly anointed IB, the transformation from AFE guru to Boom Master is now complete. He is ready to hone his skills in the training office and make some great additions to our units.

145 SSgt “Iron” Mike Russell (Stan/Eval): Mike is doing well now and waiting his review time to fly again. He is crushing everything in stan/eval and so in his evening free time he is giving guitar lessons at the local community center. Mike is the man and we can’t wait to get him flying again!

SSgt Terrell “The Horseman” Frideger (Stan/Eval): Digger has been keeping Stan Eval running, and keeping all the girls running from his pub scene antics! He is also our indispensible electronic guru. Every unit needs a guy like Digger.

SSgt Roger “Flats” Vula (A-Flight): Flats is doing good, new baby and a couple of deployments down. He should be coming up for CFIC in the near future. Apparently he has a hell of a sense of humor, but I haven’t heard him say more than 5 words.

SSgt Everett Marshall (NCOIC Training Flight): Big Tex has been doing well in training flight since arriving here from McConnell. He is working hard, taking classes and he is even fitting in even though he wears too much Texas apparel.

SSgt Tom Vesser (B Flight Super): Tom has taken the longest time in history to get new name tags, the order has been messed up twice (he says), maybe he still loves Fairchild? I think that’s the case. He is here settled and doing well.

SSgt Austin Arnold (C-Flight Supervisor): Awesome Austin is doing good and reigning hell fire on all of the Airmen with his NCO stripes and ALS attitude. Just took over for Bob Jenkins as the C-Flight super, he will be awesome at it.

SrA Jacob Nenneman “NEMO” (C-Flight): New Dad and soon to be IB candidate. Jake the snake has been flying and going TDY all year. He has decided to take the pill and extend here for a year. He wants Altus when he is done here! Everyone say thank you!

SrA John Pena (Mobility): John got a real job in mobility this year, snappin necks and cashing checks…yeah mobility folder reviews…yeah! Keep saying it John. He is doing good, we sent him to Rota for 2 months to make up for it!

SrA Steven Felger (B-Flight): Off to CFIC, should come back soon ready to earn some IB hours. Steven is our resident Bloody Boom Association President. He has been doing an amazing job with that role and we look forward to some more community service projects in the future!

146 SrA Jon Britton (A-Flight): Another baby for Jon, he’s going insane daily and taking every TDY he can to escape. Standard for Jon, working hard and correcting everyone else!

SrA Stephen Michael Barry II (Stan/Eval, SELO): Care Bare is doing good, enjoying the new job as a SELO in stan/eval. He is looking forward to getting a lot of school knocked out and heading back to his native Ohio!

A1C Ronnie “Officer” Echavarria (C-Flight): Too many stories to post on Ronnie, Dorm shenanigans as usual. Ronnie has the largest legal speakers in the country of England in his 8 by 10 foot room, and a 65 inch Plasma. We get complaints and he is going blind.

A1C Kenny Arcibal: Kenny doesn’t know how to smile…and he is always in a bad mood. Just kidding, this guy is always happy…even in England. He is on his first deployment and is looking forward to many more.

A1C Mike Danilowski: Mike got here with Kenny and is downrange with him. Mike is an amazing Airman and has been doing a tremendous job. Look for bright things in his future.

A1C Sarah Logan: Sarah has settled in here and has been doing a tremendous job. She is on the hook for the next deployment rotation and is crushing her CDCs.

A1C Ricky Warren: Ricky is a really good young boom. We paid it forward to him with a two month good deal to Rota. You won’t see one of those any time soon! The Deid is in your near future!

(Best story of the year) Felger & Arcibal were staring out over the fence and noticed two hunters shooting rabbits. The traded some beers for a couple of dead ones to try their survival school training skills. They made rabbit stew for the dorm and cleaned up there mess. Well they thought they did, apparently one of the rabbits was a pregnant female and they washed the fetus’s down the drain outside of their room. The dorm manager found the fetus’s and called the 1st Sgt to report that our booms had a “box of dead puppies” outside of their room. That made for exciting phone calls to everyone in the Wing chain of command along with all of the animal rights agencies. So to Elmer and Fudd, we are now well versed in the killing of rabbits in England. Thanks Guys!

100th Operations Support Squadron

TSgt Pete Rodriguez (OSS Scheduling): Pete is getting back up to speed after his back surgery and hopefully he can remember this boom operator thing when we start his retraining!

SSgt John Brown (OSS Scheduling): Rocking the schedule and picking his shots, John is in his prime in the Scheduling office and this Wing will miss him when he is gone!

SSgt Jay Scheuer: Jay has been working really hard here and doing an outstanding job. He has officially pulled out the sail and has decided to retire this fall. We wish him well.

SrA Jason “Meat” Coffey (OSS Scheduling): Meat was such a sharp Airman that we punted him to be a wing scheduler. He has been doing an awesome job. Jason was recently recognized by the Wing CC for saving a distressed Airman. You can email him for the finer details, but we are extremely proud of him!

148 PEASE ANGB, NH

133 ARS

“WILDCATS”

It’s been another great successful year here at Pease! We’ve welcomed the 64th ARS, an active associate unit last September. The only difference between them and us is the hefty paycheck and freshly polished boots! We are still running the alert lines and are looking forward to our upcoming AEF cycle this fall. Our email addresses are [email protected]

Chief Kelly Philbrick: 133 ARS Chief boom-After 32 years of military service he is ready to retire later this year! He is looking forward to spending more time with his wife and two daughters hitting the slopes with his board. We are certainly going to miss having him around.

Chief Tony Casella: Yes, he is still smiling, on the inside… Tony was selected to be the new Chief Boom and is looking forward to leading the boom shop here at Pease. If Tony is not flying or attending conferences, he is either doing family stuff, homework, or playing on his “smart” phone.

SMSgt Glen Starkweather: Glen is still over in TTF, he is below the radar and enjoys making minimal visits over to the operations building. His son graduated from basic training recently and will be putting Glen’s blues together the “right” way! He spends as much time possible with his wife and four kids

SMSgt Michael George: Mike was also promoted this year. He and his family are proud survivors of the mini hurricanes that swept New England earlier this year. His car unfortunately was not, and was taken by a fallen tree. He enjoys spending his free time with his wife and children.

SMSgt Steve Munt: Steve is still working as a contractor at the National Guard Bureau, we don’t see him much. He will be transferring to Battle Creek, Michigan to work in the Air Operations Group. Steve, if you are reading this we all say hi!

MSgt Michael Girouard: This was a great year for Mike! He was promoted, moved into a new house and welcomed his new baby daughter Willow into the world. When Mike is not busy hounding the booms for their monthly schedules he loves to spend time with his wife and two daughters.

MSgt Gary Howard: When Gary can score a trip he is gone! A three day TDY feels like a month’s vacation to him. Gary keeps extremely busy with work, during his spare time he enjoys his wife and children.

149 MSgt Elaina D’Orto: Elaina had a great recovery from her hip surgery. She is still on MPA doing multiple projects for the unit. I think her most favorite so far is UCI prep! She is getting ready to retire later this year.

MSgt Alan Beaulieu: Al seems to have taken a huge interest in trees this year. Ask him about how long he’s been a boom, he’ll cut his leg in half and show you all the rings! Al is happy in his new home with his wife and children.

MSgt Mike Dunlap: Mike is currently on “the bridge”, he has taken a break from the police department so he doesn’t jump off “a bridge”. He plans on being on MPA for the rest of the year to regain his sanity. Mike loves being a Dad and enjoys family time.

MSgt Sam Blackwell: Sam hit his 20 years this year; he is still on MPA in TTF. He loves working at Pease as a boom and we don’t think he will ever retire (willingly).

MSgt John Lennon: John keeps himself very busy with his full time civilian job and his guard commitments. He decided to take a break from his full time job and help out on MPA. John will be deploying with the 64th ARS in April and is spending as much time possible with his family.

MSgt Dan Luter: Dan is still flying his Thursday night RODD 99’s faithfully. If you are ever flying in the Boston area and hear a familiar voice you know its Dan!

MSgt Jim Doyle: Jim is the jack of all trades here at Pease; he graduated instructor school earlier this year. If he is not flying a mission you can find him wearing holey jeans and a hard hat doing side jobs in construction. Jim keeps busy with his daughter and hot power yoga classes!

TSgt Christie Rouleau: Christie loves the beach so much that she has taken multiple vacations to remote locations for an all-inclusive getaway! We are looking forward to Christie’s safe return.

TSgt Mark Brophy: Mark loves working in scheduling; it appears that he really wants a full time job there (j/k). When he is not at work he does the family thing like everyone else we have mentioned…

TSgt Eric Diaz: It is hard to keep track of Eric. We never know where he is or what he is doing if he’s not on our schedule. He is still juggling multiple jobs and does it better that most do one. When Eric catches a break he spends time with his wife and children.

TSgt Dan Leonard: Dan and his wife are expecting their first born child early this summer! He is still on MPA, helping out in TTF when he is not flying or on alert.

TSgt Jamie Marier: Jamie loves doing pub changes so much, he feels compelled to do P90X every morning before work as a stress reliever.

SSgt Anne Scheuerle: Anne had a great year as well! She was promoted and finally got to move into her condo in Texas. She is enjoying flying back at American Eagle. If you run into Anne you have to do a shot of Oozo with her!

SrA Samantha Yeanish: Sam finished up boom school last year and her local qualifications earlier this year. She keeps herself busy with school and enjoys spending time with her husband and dogs.

150 A1C Matt Pongrace: Matt just completed living the Altus dream. He should be finishing up MCT sometime early this summer and visiting the “Happy Valley”. We are excited for Matt’s return so he can fill the holes in the monthly schedule!

“RISING PHOENIX”

Greetings from New Hampshire and the first AD/ANG associate unit! This has been an exciting year filled with challenges but the guys and gals at Pease ANGB are “Top Notch” and have welcomed us with open arms. They managed to remove the microwave ovens from the galley before we arrived and we are still looking for the cordless drills they used to manually lower the flaps (just kidding). If you have any doubts an associate active duty unit can coexist with the Air National Guard look no further and stop by Pease.

SMSgt Keith Jauss: (Superintendent) – Jack of all, master of none (Sq Super, Ops Super, Chief Boom) he’s got his hands full with a squadron of ops and maintenance. After a few years, most of the gunner stories are gone, but he can’t let go of crawling on the floor reliving his AC-130 EPE’s and shwacking bad guys.

MSgt Patrick Ingram: (Superintendent, Stan/Eval) - He’s finally coming back from the CRW to go right back to STAN/EVAL(after some groom time), looking forward to his demo contacts when he tries to Q-3 us for boom control.

TSgt Justin Poteet: (NCOIC Readiness) - Having a hell of a time with the state troopers here, apparently his truck is too big to register in New Hampshire. Is trying to talk the guard guys in to sending a jet to Altus for the symposium so he can piss on McCrillis’ tires…

SSgt Ronald McKinney: (NCOIC, Scheduling) - We are looking forward to meeting a real TV star (DoSomethingAmazing.com), does anyone know if he signs autographs?

SSgt Robert Kawasaki: (Line Boom) - AFE Cross trainee from Kadena, a survivor of the Great 2010 Altus Ice Storm.

Inbounds from Grand Forks AFB…The 64th ARS welcomes you…Now hurry up and get the hell out of the Forks.

MSgt Walter Markwas: Well time has come for another great addition of the Boom Signal. I’m glad to see this tradition has not died. Thanks to SMSgt Paul Greene for keeping it going. I love reading all the inputs from across the Boom field, from both new and old Boom Operators.

Well I have been in the USAFE Boom Functional job for a little over a year now. I have the honor and the privilege of going on SAV/SEVs all over USAFE. I still try and get over to RAF Mildenhall, UK to fly once a month and stay current, but that is sometimes hard to accomplish with the SEV/SAV schedule. I do my best. I’m currently deployed in the AOR, filling the 379 EOG/OGV boom slot. About the only thing that is changed over here since the last time I deployed in 04 is the PT Gear Police, along with the reflective belt police. The best thing about being deployed is flying the mission!

Anyone ever passing through Ramstein, feel free to give me a call or drop me a line.

HQ AETC/A3ZM

Greetings from Randolph AFB, Texas. Another year has gone by and there are days where it seems busy at HQ and days where it doesn’t. Typical HQ life I suppose. Still not used to going groundspeed zero. I continue to make periodic visits to the FTU trying to get the AETC BOWST project completed. To the outside observer, one might think “what’s the big deal and how come it has taken so long to get online?”. Well contractors are a strange breed and large scale projects never go as planned. Our BOWST project has been in the “works” for over 8 years, gone through two contractors (as sub-contractors) to get to its present condition. Unit #1 has been through government final inspection and burn-in, and as of publishing time, Unit #2 will have been through GFI and entered burn-in. This summer, we will know whether the AETC BOWST will fit the bill for FTU student training or not. I’ve included some photos of the BOWST in this Edition of the Signal. Trust me, I know it sounds confusing. Even I have trouble wrapping my brain around it all. Still looking for volunteers for FTU instructor duty. If interested please volunteer, you need this duty for career progression!

Other side projects I have worked include standing up a new 3-level RPA (formerly UAS) Sensor Operator school here at Randolph AFB. We procured academic facilities, dorms, renovated the DFAC, etc., to bring this program in line with our other 1-series training. New 1U0 Sensor Operators go through Aircrew Fundamentals (w/o Chamber) at the Center of Excellence at Lackland AFB, 3-level school here at Randolph AFB with the follow-on to Creech AFB or Holloman AFB to finalize their qualifications in the Predator or Reaper unmanned vehicles. I’ve also been involved in the MC-12 Project Liberty program by conducting a training program review of their schoolhouse at Birmingham. ISR is the wave of the future, especially with the Remotely Piloted Vehicles.

Lastly, it’s been a blast performing duties as the Boom Signal Editor. However, it’s time I gave the next generation their opportunity to make their mark on the Signal. MSgt Ernest Burns at HQ AMC, Scott AFB will be picking up the mantle for the 2011 Edition. Ernest understands the heritage of our career field and I can think of nobody better to assume the Signal. I appreciate and sincerely thank the Boom Operator community allowing me to carry this tradition forward for the past 11 years.

Look her up and shoot her an e-mail, she would love to hear from you.

“TAZZ”

Greetings from the “Tazz”manian Devils! It’s been awhile since we’ve been on The Boom Signal pages, so let’s do some catching up! We’ve just finished our AEF cycle and are now settled down to some normal madness. Just about all of our aircraft have been converted to Block 40 and a lot of our Traditionals are kept happy being on LTMPA tours. Throw in a few inspections, TDY’s, supporting the War on Terror into the mix, and, well, we’re certainly pretty busy. And now, without further ado, here are the Main players with a fine supporting cast.

Technician

Chief Guard, Tom EB: The Chief, who took over from Dick Grein back in 2004, is a heavy metal fan and keeps a gargoyle full of chocolate in his office. The Chief likes to go to WWII reenactments dressed as a German soldier and gets chased by Russians and American G.I.’s. You’d think he would get enough of that here at our drills.

SMSgt Emler, Paul EB: “Angry Elmo” is in charge our Training program which he rules with an iron fist! When he’s not molding young Boomers into his image, he’s out touring the roads on his Harley.

MSgt McKinnon, Michael IB: “Budrow”(so-named by Angry Elmo) has led a varied career starting with being an active duty crew chief on F-4’s, moving back to his beloved Alabama joining the Army Guard, then sojourning to Ohio to work on A-7’s before going to tankers. His claim to fame is his participation in Rodeos 1995, 2003 and 2007. Now retired from competition, he mentors all the young lions and prepares to ride his Harley into the sunset. Roll Tide!

MSgt Cartwright, Kevin IB: “Hoss” handles all the scheduling needs of our section: daily flying, alerts, TDY and Deployments, you name it he schedules it. He used to be a home builder and has been the recipient of many home project inquiries. He’s also been known to mud wrestle with power tools.

MSgt Thompson, Marq IB: “Q” is our Inspector Gadget. Any new electronic toys that arrives on the scene, he has it in his possession wringing it out. He’s also into guns and taking urban combat classes. It’s nice to have a hobby.

163 TSgt Gilbert, William IB: “Willy G” manhandles our Cargo Loading Program which he does with amazing aplomb. He took over Billy Mac’s desk last year and is still cleaning stuff out of it. He calls them “historical artifacts” and wants to send them to the Unit’s Historian for cataloging.

The AGRs

MSgt Foster, Matt IB: Matt is still here. First contact was in 1979, when they burned water as fuel. But really, he keeps telling us he is not that old. Seems his main job as an AGR is to keep Shoe in line and watch where his golf ball goes. Always talks to “Hoss” about fixing and building houses, decks, kitchens and such.

MSgt Shoemaker, Eric EB: “Shoe” has been one of our booms for quite awhile. He originally was in the Army and that explains a great deal. As an AGR he seems to be here an awful lot (must be that “Army Training Sir”). While he is not out giving no notice check rides, which he seems to enjoy way too much, he’s hunting, fishing, riding his Harley, playing golf, scuba diving or running. No wonder his wife and he get along so well.

The Traditionals

SMSgt Berg, Allen IB: When Allen isn’t whining about the trip list or alert picks he is a Network Administrator as a contractor working for Ball Aerospace at the National Air Space Intelligence Center at WPAFB on a TS network. Though, we can’t get any network support out of him here.

MSgt Hamilton , Mark MB: When Mark isn’t wreaking havoc at the Information Technology department at Franklin University, he’s cherry picking the good trips or whining about not getting even alert tours, or acting like Cliff Clavin with little known factoids

MSgt Keller, Scott IB: Scott works at DFAS in Columbus, close to “Scooby Doo” but, doesn’t act anything like Stu. He’s also an avid runner and likes to sit in cloth covered chairs in his sweaty clothes.

MSgt Rempe, Heidi MB: Our “Boomer Goddess” flies as an attendant for NetJets then turns around and does it here for us on deployments and Guardlifts.

MSgt Davis, Steven MB: “Stevis/Reverend Booty” is a smooth operator who likes to take his show on the road. In fact, he spends so much time going TDY for us we forget what he looks like.

TSgt Gentry, Stewart MB: ”Scooby-Doo” where are you? When he’s not hunting receivers for Scooby snacks, Stu works at DFAS Columbus as a Financial Systems Specialist; no, he cannot increase your check. Passing gas is what he loves to do! NKAWTG!

TSgt Sorrell, David MB: Dave is in an odd situation as he works for two Guards. Chief Tom Guard is his supervisor here in the Boom Section and at his civilian job at Ohio Corrections, John Guard, the Chief’s brother, is his boss at the prison. “It’s totally weird!” says Dave. To soothe his jangled nerves he loves candle light dinners and takes long walks on the beach.

TSgt Perkins, Mark MB: A Policeman from Mt. Vernon, Mark loves to pass gas in a tanker more than cruise in a patrol car. We supply him donuts so, he doesn’t miss it much.

164 TSgt Evans, Matt MB: Matt is one of our new Booms who returned to us with a hankering to get his MQT done right away so he can start pulling LTMPA, Alert, what have you. We told him, patience! Greed is not pretty.

SSgt Karshner, Adam MB: Adam is another one of our Booms that does a lot for us. Fly, go TDY, drink our beer and wear our pajamas. Adam is a peculiar fellow but enjoys everything he does for the unit. If you are having trouble figuring out somewhere to eat he will never steer you wrong.

SSgt Daranikone, Vanlath MB: Another one of our new Booms, Van earned the name “Van- tenna” on one of his F-16 refuelings and is looking to de-throne Hamilton as the F-16 Antenna Ace.

SSgt Treneff, Alex MB: Alex has a tendency to leave his PDA, on the plane after his sorties. We warned him if he did it again, he would have to do his Form F’s with the Chief’s abacus.

Sra Atkins, Victor MB: Victor is our newest Boom, a transfer from Selfridge. He’s getting used to the way we do the Guard thing here and will make a fine addition to our section, as soon as he gets rid of the heavy-metal-Mohawk-do.

The Retired

Tab Bursk: Retired after a nice long run and is now helping his dad run the family business. His brother, Mike, is a Boom Operator with Jack Bishop’s 166th Boom Section, just down the hall.

Bob Reffitt: Retired as a Chief, thanks to our State’s Exceptional Promotion Program. He’s still with the Columbus Police Department, but is close to hanging up his guns there.

Delmar McGee: Delmar got his 20 in and is off and running to other adventures. He comes in once and awhile to see if he left any belongings behind and to show off his beard.

William McIver: Another old 160th ARG mainstay has left the building. “Billy Mac” retired and pulled up stakes to return to Kansas to help take care of his dad.

Booms That Done Good

Tonnessen, Bryan: “T3” Left the Boomer World to snag a pilot slot with our Unit. His Dad was a Pilot with us and his brother, Kristian, also an ex-boomer, has a pilot slot as well.

Technicians

CMSgt Jack “Boom Lord” Bishop: Chief is still here… … … yep still here. The chief will have 200yrs in this Oct….as a Chief and 40 yrs in service next year. He’s running things for the 166 Boom side of the house. If he’s not in his office it’s probably the summer and he’s on the golf course or at the lake or somewhere in the US in his RV “Cousin Eddie” … either that or in a meeting.

SMSgt Todd “Devo” Devoe: The Chief’s right and left hand man. Does all the scheduling of the booms on our side of the house. Somehow he convinced his wife to take his daughter to Sweden for the summer; The Summer of Todd has begun!

SMSgt Daniel “Jewel” Toskin: His nickname doesn’t refer to his taste in music… well it might. Danny is the computer guru, constantly harassing people about moving machines, or monitors, or not knowing how to setup PEX. His wife to be is from Cambodia. Danny now has a greater appreciation for food such as fish head soup, and salty crab.

SMSgt Sam “Slammin” Given: The boom upstairs in OGV his nickname is getting officially changed to White Throated Buddy F$%*er, really enjooys a good argument when he’s not out coaching soccer.

SMSgt Jason Kruppa: One of our newest booms currrently enjoying a summer at Altus for his initial qualification. He is a recent victim of a BRAC, and possible leader of the Mansfield takeover of our boom shop.

MSgt Liberache “Lib” Malbon: Busy guy, always running around never knows where he’s going, but has somewhere to go at least. Has been known to not fly because “I ate too much cheese or I can’t clear my nose”

MSgt Robert “DB” Derryberry: Our local Hawaiian Hillbilly, fixing everyone’s vehicles, from cars all the way to farm tractors… At least we think he is fixing Danny’s tractor… He’s had it for over a year. The newly appointed training guy, if only he kept track of everyone’s beans as well as he kept track of his tools.

166 AGR

Kevin J. “J is for Jenius” Black: Kicked him out of the office and sent him down to Current Operations. Now we see him about as much as we did when he was in the shop (he is AGR after all). You should ask him about the time he managed to swallow the dentist bite wing (call 911), or when he had the soup at Olive Garden with a cigarette butt in it.

Traditionals

MSgt Barry “Cancel Queen” Anderson: He is on the schedule about twice a week in the evenings. If you want an evening off just hop on the flight with him… you’re not going to go anywhere.

MSgt Mike “Shooter” Bursk: Still working down in Cincy at Ford, and with that great employee discount driving a beat up Focus. He just finished up 120+ days of our AEF going anywhere and everywhere they would send him.

MSgt William “Big M Little Organ” Morgan: Living down south out of state. We see him from time to time at Drills. Oh yeah he is current… Just ask him!

Msgt Dale “The Fascist” Ryan: WARNING: At the cost of your day/life/sanity you should not engage this individual in political conversations. He is running his business in the evenings and working out at the base during the days.

Msgt Chris “Super Trooper” Hasty: When he’s not logging hours in the good old 135 you can find him patrolling the friendly skies in his brand new Ohio State Patrol Aeromobile. Yep folks he’s the Trooper in the plane giving you a ticket.

TSgt Ryan “Dalton” Dunn: A guard bum staying busy with orders from TACC. He has a new video out “the Dancing Viking”

TSgt Jon “Gorilla” Gorilla: We figured we would try again and hire another guy off Acitve Duty from Altus. After about two years he is almost “guardized.” We don’t see him much because he spends so much time on the road… In fact ever since he got off Active Duty he has been on Acitve Duty orders.

TSgt Brian “Dexter” Mott: Recently married forced to “get a real job.” He is a redhead working at a police department as a civilian… sounds like something a TV show should be made after.

Jason ‘JV” Vincent: Just don’t call him Dan, that’s his brother the copilot, Michael, his other brother in Hydraulics, or Bugs his dad the AC, wow the Guard must be a family thing. He is a new boom back from Altus trying to make a name for himself on the OG Softball team as a shortstop/third baseman.

Bob “ “ Cox: Need we say more. Another new guy came to us from the CCAB modification workshop. We think he has a job on the outside but like many other booms he is doing all he can never to go back.

167 Jim “ “ McNellis: Yet another addition from our friends at Mansfield up north. We haven’t really seen much of him yet between school and he actually does have an outside job.

Moving Up or Out

TSgt Jeff Bear: Decided he wanted to be a pilot in the unit so after he realized he would never get an age waiver he decided to become a warrant in the Active Duty Army, get 500 hours, then apply to get out and go through fix wing qual and come back to Tankers here in Ohio. Last we heard he is a warrant but still awaiting his Heilo classes, he left a year ago.

TSgt Kristian “T2” Tonnessen: Following in the family footsteps Kristian after being a boom guard bum for so long opted to move up to the front seats and drive all of us to work now.

SMSgt Jose Isern: Now working over at Net Jets with Jeppsen. When he left he made sure to pass on the title of “Shortest Boom” to Willy G in the 145th.

MSgt Rick Schontzler: Rick did his 20 yrs and got out after getting married and having kids he now works for AEP and might have been partly responsible for the brown outs that we had across the northeast a few years back.

TSgt Kris Kuck: Was one of our first palace chase guys. He also did his 20 and retired to take over his father’s insurance agency New Bremen INS.

Dearly Departed

SMSgt Steven Schlinkert: This year we were unfortunate that we had to say good-bye to a long time boom operator and a dear friend. Steve passed away on April 25th of last year after loosing a long battle with cancer. Leaving behind a wife and 2 children. He is dearly missed.

HQ AIR FORCE RESERVE COMMAND

CMSgt Mike Boozer: Left 22nd Air Force last June and took the Enlisted Aircrew Career Field Manager position here at HQ/AFRC. I miss Atlanta, but being the only Boom on the yard (and one of only 3 CEAs) there get a little lonely. I managed to get lucky enough to snag an AGR tour here and will finish up my 33 years 1 July 2012 (not that I’m counting). Things here change every day but the recurring theme is that after 10+ years since becoming a MAJCOM we’re moving toward acting like one. Rumor has it that we’ll robust some in coming months so be on the lookout for advertisements if you see a tour at the HQ in your future. Until then - I’m still one deep managing 9 AFSCs and about 3800 Enlisted Aircrew.

On a more personal note, Linda keeps a handle on the farm in NE Alabama and manages her own small business while I play “Air Force” here in GA all week. I manage to commute home most weekends and play “catch up” in effort to keep things glued together until I retire. Stephen graduated from Georgia Tech this past year and is living/working in Atlanta - doing great! Jessica will be a junior in HS this year and has become something of a volleyball jock. She’s been playing varsity since 8th grade and their team has really done well (all the way to state) the last 2 years.

If you’re in the neighborhood give me a yell. I can usually convince Red Paullet to sneak out for a few wings and beers - even when we don’t have a good reason.

413 FLIGHT TEST GROUP

“EXECUTE FLIGHT TEST TO SUSTAIN AND ENHANCE AIRCRAFT CAPABILITIES FOR THE WARFIGHTER”

We’re still here and still slowly working on complete boom domination within the CEAs at the Group. We had to overcome some heavy turbulence this year to establish boom supremacy. The first hurdle was we, the command staff not the booms, hired another flight engineer to handle C-130 AMP issues. That put our numbers to 2 engineers and 2 booms. No worries yet since 2 engineers really equal 1 boom. The next hurdle was the vacant 1AX91 E-9 slot. Neither of us were worried until the CC threw us a curve ball and hired a “mole” from HQ AFRC. We had to think of something quick to get our numbers even so we convinced one of the engineers into thinking being a Predator sensor operator was a good deal and booted him off to school. We’re now back to normal, if there is such a thing as normal for a Reserve unit that gets all Operational Direction from AFMC. AFMC A3V put it best when they said “AFMC is the placeholder for the obscure”.

The 413th FTG is a very unique Group. Our primary mission is to provide Depot Functional Check Flights (FCF) to 12 different weapons systems throughout the Air Force. Our units fly everything from the F-22 to the F-4.We really don’t fit the mold of any Group within AFRC or the Air Force. We’re all reservists, mostly AGRs (full time guys) and a few TRs, completely the opposite of a “normal” AFRC Group. We receive our Operational Direction from AFMC and most all of our Administrative Control is handled through 22nd AF from HQ AFRC. We function more like a Wing with units at Robins, Tinker, Lackland, Randolph, Davis- Monthan, Hill, and Edwards.

CMSgt David “RED” Paullet: Plans on traveling to the Big D and I don’t me Dallas! Getting a divorce is the worst thing in the world. Keep those significant others happy by telling them how much they mean every day. I know I felt it in my heart. Be strong boom brothers, cause I was not. I will get over and move on. Look out 2011… 2010 sucked too much to remember. Got the girls Kayla and Kelsey and with God’s help I will make good women out of them. Out for now and don’t know what the future holds.

SMSgt Brian Buss: Been running OGV since the start. Recently moved to OGT to help the over tasked Chief of Training. Upon his arrival, the Chief of Training moved to XP so Brian was left solo…again…until a new Chief of Training is hired. Brian and Colleen welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Mackenzie, in December. Expect to see Mackenzie on the hit TV show Toddlers and Tiaras anytime now!!!

SLARCO

Greetings form SLARCO and the land of Zion. I has been a very busy and unusual year for us, we have watched three Booms retire, and have hired a new boom for the future. We also have lost a technician, hired a new technician, and will be losing our only AGR early next year. The crew ratio has really hurt our Boom section as well as all of yours I am sure.

SLARCO will keep plugging away and handle any and everything that is thrown our way. I am amazed at the dedication and service of our Part Timers and Full Timers put in every day. We have the BEST jobs in the Guard and the Air Force, and we are PROUD TO SERVE!

The following is a little about SLARCO and its great Boom Operators! Thanks for playing!

Enjoy !!

MSgt Tim Molder OG/ OGV Stan/ Eval Boom Operator Salt Lake ANGB, Utah ANG DSN 245-2414

171 CMSgt Douglas A. Cline: (Technician) Well Hell I think he is still a Technician. The Chief was detailed to the Army for the last 2 years SCHWACK !!! He still has his hand in the day to day dealings, if and when he can make it back from his million dollar home in Phoenix.

SMSgt Joseph R. Mace: (Technician) Joe is the acting program manager in Chief Clines absence, but the only problem is he is never here to program manage us. Se~nior Mace is TDY (vacationing) in Chile for the next 4 months. He is flying the E-model again, or at least when it isn’t broke down and it flies. Joe said the jet is held together with duct tape and dog shiz ! Hope the money is worth it. An Original member of my 3 sons.

SMSgt James L. Zaelit: (Technician) Jimmy Z is our TO guy, no I didn’t say Go To Guy, I said T.O. guy !! If he wasn’t a Boom Operator he would have been a great lawyer. In fact he is known around here as the SH@# House Lawyer. One of the ring leaders here, and a pretty good one.

SMSgt Daniel B. Williams: (Technician) Benny or Jethro (aka Golden Boy) as we call him around here, played his hand right and just got another stripe. Current NCOIC of the section and currently has picked up the habit of SMOKING ! Congratulations he will do a fine job.

MSgt Jason D. Blood: J-Blow is a male nurse, or I mean he used to be a male nurse. He is coming off a 2 month Temp Tech position, now we are trying to get him off the teet. Not an easy task considering he may have to get a job, and that would interfere with killing critters and whatever it is he does !!

MSgt Jarvis T. Brown: (Technician) “SHREK” is our current Boom Scheduler/ Building Manager/ Security Manager / and about 5 other jobs. He divvies out the ALERT which is his main job as far as we are all concerned !!! He’s my favorite (wink wink). Another one of the original my 3 sons. Also is a key member of the Champion Fooze Ball Team.

MSgt Eric C. Henderson: Hendoo or Mr. Clean, is Mr. Prim and Proper, never one to stray from his OCD roots or the Dash 1. His second home has been in the dessert lately, always count on Eric to fill last minute trips and flights. He’s da MAN in his own world !

MSgt Brian K. Jensen: (Technician) Jens has been TDY with a girls softball team taping ankles and fixing Boo Boo’s on their knees and bows. Has he switched teams ? He’s our Cargo Expert and Training Flight Boom, and Fitness Guru Monitor. Good guy to have around if you need a few seconds shaved off, or your legs.

MSgt Brian D. Lawson: Bugs as he is known around the squadron, when he’s not lying on his belly, he is a stand up NCO in the squadron. He also loves to play chicken on Jethro’s shoulders (shorts optional) !! He also looks pretty good in a bikini !

MSgt Timothy L. Molder: (Technician) After 9 long years as the scheduler has moved out to pasture, into Stan/ Eval !! What are you kidding me !! I am currently writing a novel on the Best Ways to Make Friends and Influence People. I have been working on it for 8 months, and still only have 1 page written. Original member of my 3 sons, and Fooze Ball Champion Team member !!

172 MSgt Brian W. Steenblik: (AGR) Steemy Dude is winding down a 20 year AGR career. He has been hid away in Current Ops for the last 4 or 5 years, nobody makes hotel and car reservations better, Motel 6 and Travel Lodge have never had so much business. Thanks Steemy Dude !!

TSgt Kurt A. Armstrong: Kurt is that silent type that goes on with his career under the radar, always dependable, we call him Old Reliable around here. Kurt just entered the world of fatherhood, and on late night TV you can catch him on reruns of Family Ties and Back to the Future.

TSgt Santiago A. Avila: Jay Dawg is the resident Mafia War expert of the section. When he is not playing that game on Facebook, I hear he is quite popular with the ladies. If there is a beer to be drank, a critter to be killed, or something to be mounted (wildlife) he is your DUDE !! Great Boom Operator, and look no further for a Bar Hopping Buddy, he is your man !

TSgt Charles D. Hudson: (Technician) Dirty is our newest Technician Hire / Instructor Boom, he will be a great addition to the Full Time Force. Die Hard O’s fan (poor B-tard) ! Has a permanent medical waiver for passing gas !

TSgt George A. Kalakis: Tony George (aka Stinky) is our Boy George look a-like, he is currently at the NCO Academy, we are hoping for at least a graduation certificate, Honor Grad is totally out of the question. He is also a 4 time graduate of the Quit- Smoking Program. Tony George has come a long way, and has actually turned out to be a pretty good Boom Operator/ Guard Bum.

TSgt Derek R. Larson: D-Rock is the highest paid Boom Operator we have out here in Salt Lake. He works for Tybrin during the day, and flies with us during the evenings. He has also has entered the ranks of being a new father TWICE !!! He also moonlights as the giraffe from Toys R Us on the weekends.

TSgt Vincent M. Littlejohn- L J or Vinnie is a die-hard Boston Red Sox Fan. He is used to having his heart ripped out by the Sox and the ladies !! We have never seen him at a Boom function with a women. Huh ??? We picked him up from Flight Management, and he has been a pretty good addition to the Boom Section, and has a somewhat bright future out here.

SSgt Sean G. Price- All that needs to be said is he’s the FNG !! Jury still out on him. We just hope he comes back from Altus soon, so we can start abusing the hell out of him !! Tony George will be happy cause he won’t be the little BEEEOTCH anymore !! Good luck Sean.

TSgt Nicholas A. Thompson: (Pilot Training) Little Nicky has turned in his enlisted wings for what he thinks is a fancier set of pilot wings. What was that saying “another man’s trash..” He also is expanding his family, as his wife Chanel is pregnant again. Thanks for your hard work to SLARCO, and good luck to you at UPT.

SMSgt Marty J. Nielsen: (Retired) Marty is finally retiring, due to some issues with his back. We thought it would be issues with his arse from sitting around playing his flight simulator all these years. We told him to say he stumbled and fell on a trip and hurt his back, problem is he never went on a trip !! Thanks Marty for all your years of dedication to the military and SLARCO, you will be missed by a few.

173 MSgt Karen A. Keely: (Retired) After 26 years of service to the ANG, the mother hen has flown the coop. Karen has taken a full time job (FINALLY first job in 30 years) at state headquarters in Draper, as the Yellow Ribbon Coordinator whatever that is ! Thank you for all you years of dedicated service KK !!

TSgt Keith Campbell: (Retired) The Caption should read RETARDED ! Head got caught up in a numbers game and now belongs to the RESERVES- Hee Hee, “one man’s trash is another man’s gold”. JK, but in all seriousness HOW ARE THOSE 5 LEVEL CDC’S going? No waiver for you! Thanks again to Keith for all he has done for SLARCO over the last 4 years.

MSgt Dennis Green: (Retired) SLARCO lost a great Boom Operator this last spring. Dennis will surely be missed by all. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Dennis’s family and loved ones.

HQ AIR MOBILITY COMMAND

BOOM OPERATOR CFM

Fellow Boom Operators,

What a great time to be a Boom Operator! Each year, your reputation as operators, leaders, and managers strengthens…as does the demand for those skills. Today’s booms are in contingency response wings, school houses, and the Tanker Airlift Control Center; you serve as instructors, tacticians, schedulers and planners. Boom operators are sensor operators on our remotely piloted aircraft, Air Attachés, Command Chiefs, PME Instructors, recruiters, and Group Superintendents across several MAJCOMs.

As we added positions to meet these needs our numbers grew to over 700 active-duty authorizations this year, despite the closure of the Grand Forks units. Our sixth active-associate unit, the 96th ARS at Hickam will open this year adding another choice to our basing opportunities. Expect these new positions to fill slowly as several Air Force manpower reduction initiatives compete with our growth. Overall active-duty boom operator manning will drop as we grow trained booms to fill the needs. Four new KC-135 Boom Operator Weapons System Trainers were funded this year and are under development; the first to be at McConnell AFB. These will be new systems developed independently from those at Altus. In time, they’ll have the ability to link to our pilot simulators providing a more realistic experience. KC-10 cargo trainers should be under construction in the near future providing unprecedented access to KC-10 cargo training. Finally, the KC-X program is alive and well as we move toward selecting a manufacturer in the near future.

Congratulations to the 384th ARS at McConnell AFB, the 2009 SMSgt Albert L. Evans Award winners. We presented the award at the 31st Annual Boom Operator Symposium at Altus AFB this last April. The symposium was another great event with more than 220 attending, themed by history, heritage and honor. A special thanks to the Travis and McGuire booms who each brought an airplane with many “symposiasts” on board. This event grows in attendance and quality each year, please plan to attend the 31st event in April 2010. Our business, the business of air refueling, is the key enabler for the joint war-fighter today. It is the stealth capability that’s often only noticed when it’s not available. You are a no-fail link in that capability…and you are a busy group. On most days the nearly 1,300 booms, active-duty and ARC, log more than 500 hours on 160 sorties. 120 are deployed to foreign lands in harm’s way and you are on the ground in nearly 20 countries supporting the national interests of our great nation. Your efforts and sacrifices make a difference and earn the appreciation of your fellow countrymen.

“BUZZARDS”

The most hated, or is it feared guy’s next to A3V. We are always looking for booms to come out and help out with inspections, give us a call or email and we would love to have you come out and drink beer, I mean inspect with us.

MSgt Jeff “Sheet Face” Bishop: Jeff is the resident NORI expert, in fact he speaks in message traffic sometimes. Jeff s stays busy building hand grenades to throw at inspectees.

MSgt Roman “Snacko” Munoz: Our KC-10 boom (we try not to hold that against him) Roman takes care of all our augmentees and the snack bar everywhere we go. Roman is retiring in September and will be headed back to California.

TANKER TRAINING

KC-10

SMSgt Mark Redden: [email protected], Mark is the new guy for KC-10 training; he came all the way from Travis. Apparently 15 years was “too much” for him in one assignment, he swears he didn’t know there were other bases in AMC to be stationed at. After a 15 year stabilized tour, his household goods were in excess of 24,000 lbs, good luck with that bill Mark.

KC-X

SMSgt Dicky Hunt: [email protected]. Dicky is the KC-X Boom in our shop. You can personally blame him for all of the delays in the program. He has stayed busy developing a solid training program for two jets, too bad we will all be retired before we see it. He does one hell of a job with DTS vouchers and keeping the civilians at bay in the meantime. I guess he didn’t do too bad of a job, he was selected to start up the Hickam associate unit. Aloha Haole!

KC-135

MSgt Ernest Burns: [email protected] Ernest is the new guy for KC-135 training, he came all the way from Altus America with a redirect from Mildenhall, thanks RM! It’s taken him three months to figure out the AMC alphabet of offices (A3T who?). He wonders around cubicle land trying to find his desk like a mouse looking for cheese. He is looking forward to taking on more responsibility with important tanker training issues, like DTS, making coffee, filling the copier with paper and looking for his stapler.

“THE LAND OF THE MISFIT BOOMS”

Mr. Chris Hoctor, MSgt, USAF Ret.: I am still the lone Boom in A6; surrounded by Comm and computer geeks and 2 feet of corn. I have no idea what they are talking about sometimes, but that’s OK, they are clueless to discussions of true airspeed, mean aerodynamic chord, or the danger of flying in close vertical proximity. Recently I joined the GDSS Program Management Office. I wanted a challenge, got that and more: high blood pressure, hair loss, etc. If I may speak for all the retired Booms, we want to render a salute to all the guys and gals on the flightline at home and around the world in the war on terror. Some of you are now flying in aircraft twice your age, and rivaling the ops tempo of Vietnam. To borrow words from John Adams; “May you live long and enjoy the delicious recollection of your service, the gratitude of mankind, the happy fruits of them to yourself and the world, which are daily increasing, and that splendid prospect of the future fortunes of this country which is opening from year to year.” God’s blessing go with you as you ‘slip the surly bonds’.

Jim Wood, USAF Ret.: Enjoying working in A3T, Aircrew Training Resources on the C-130 Aircrew Training System. Enough travel to break up office time, and most of it he can do on the bike! No Boom, but still a pretty neat mission.

Greg Conrad, GS-13, Chief, Theater C2 Operations Branch, A3MC: 15 years in the HQ AMC building providing operational, training and Stan/Eval guidance for 6 Air Mobility Divisions (AMD) and 9 AMD augmentation units. Additionally, providing program management for the Director of Mobility Forces-Air program.

Tony Nicholson (T-Nick), GS-12, Functional Manager, AMD Readiness & Training, A3MC: Provides management of AMD SORTS/DRSS. Lead agent for AMD exercise program. Provides policy and guidance for AMD MQT, CT and the Learning Management System (LMS).

STRATEGIC OPS & POLICY

MSgt Lance Quenga: Yup you read that correctly, after two cancelled PCS’s from Altus. Keeping the Randy Kay mafia going with Donnie. One of the few (OLD) remaining SAC trained killers on active duty; he’s finally putting all that training to work in the new AMC Nuclear Division.

MSgt Mike O’Connor: Just sewed on 1 Apr. Hanging out at Scott for another year, hoping for an assignment that gets him out of the Midwest. Finally traded the bar hopper for a new Streetglide so the wife would stop complaining. Ask him about his really nice Camaro that still doesn’t have a motor.

179 SCOTT AFB, IL

USTRANSCOM

MSgt Wayne E. Keiser: I moved into a COCOM position this year, working in the Air USTRANSCOM Air Refueling division, USTCJ3-SR. I left the love of planning Coronets in TACC and moved to the world of answering phones! I just dropped his retirement papers and will be leaving the AF next year.

TACC/XOP

MSgt Dan Phillips: (XOPC) Still disgruntled. Now an official airlifter and a "Crusty old MSgt".

TSgt Justin Pascoe: (XOPC) Joined the McGuire KC-10 Mafia here at Scott AFB.

MSgt Ricky Martin: (XOPM) TACC's most recent addition. Arrived here from the Altus school house...dirt to follow.

MSgt(S) Scotty O'Neil: (XOPM) Dragged kicking and screaming from the TACC Floor. Now working CRG ops. Has been Jim's whipping boy for the past seven months, but too nice of a guy to say no. Somewhat joined the Sean Wall fan club by shelling out the engine in his GTO, but now has it back on the street.

MSgt(S) Chris "call me Master" Ottenwess: (XOPM) Pulling out the big...hammer, Joining the IG at Scott in July.

TF 294 (AMC)

MSgt(S) Brett Prothe: Brett just made MSgt as this went to press, which is good b/c not too many TSgt's have as much grey hair as he does. He spends most of his time trying to lure newly PCS'd booms into his "camper" and hauling around dozens of "date sticks."

SSgt Anthony Montani: Newest addition to TF294, learning all about O-plans and a whole lot of other things that he would have to kill us if he told us.

XOBK (Tanker Barrel)

MSgt Donnie Lambert: Replaced Doc Love in the Tanker Barrel and got hit with the fire hose on day one!

TSgt Sean Wall: Although he's not quite redneck enough to use cement blocks, he's still learning how to keep all of his cars running, but this hasn't changed in the last twelve Boom Signals. Moved to the Tanker Barrel from the Coronet shop, but you still have to go over there to find him because he's never at his desk. He seems to have lost some of his KC-10isms because now he needs a checklist for everything. Talked to Todd Dallmann one too many times and just began his collection.

TSgt Jason Schaub: Yet another McGuire mafia guy to come to TACC. Coming in August.

181 Jim Norris: Each day finds a new butterfly to chase in the barrel. He couldn't find anyone to finish his basement until Scotty O'Neil opened his mouth; has been cracking the whip on Scotty for the past 7 months, but the basement was done 2 months ago.

Doug Garrett: Still working hard at keeping TRANSCOM and the Coronet Shop in line.

XOBA (STRAT Barrel)

Larry Hudnut: We don't see too much of him because he's still working hard with all of the T- tailer's in the C-17 barrel.

XOO

MSgt Patricia Brown-Davis: MOM, I mean XOOK Superintendent. Makes sure the boys keep themselves out of trouble. Not an easy task by any standard.

MSgt Jeremiah Love: Wins so many awards that he now designates people to go up on stage to pick them up for him. Just moved to XOO; guess the barrel ran out of awards to give him. Take over the Superintendent duties for Pat.

XOOKT - Homeland Defense

CMSgt Erskin Glast (Ret): Always on the phone with the 601 AOC making sure those boys stay on their toes!

Laroche "Larry" Placide (Ret): Work-a-holic. Hey Larry, when you're on leave, your email needs to STOP!

XOOKP - Coronets

(M)Sgt Tim Blackburn: Loving life now that he has a line number. Took over running the coronet shop, and has been working hard to keep them in check.

MSgt Steve Mason: Moved from TF294 to the Coronet shop, about to retire soon.

TSgt Rick Dorsey: Joined the ever growing McGuire mafia crew at Scott, and just like in New Jersey he's always working hard on new projects around the house.

TSgt Eric "Woody" Cox: Still in a long distance relationship with Vicki; finally proposed to her on one of their many Jamaican vacations. He recently graduated from the NCOA; now it's time to get back to work in the Coronet shop. She did say "Yes!"

XOND - Tanker Data Division

Chief Lee Winter (Ret)

Tony Taylor (Ret)

182 Dave Monk (Ret): Loving the retired life. If you don't see him in the TRANSCOM building, you can always find him in the garage turning wrenches with his son. XOCZF

Jeff Murphy (Ret): Still working hard building flight plans for the crews.

XOCGT - The Floor

SMSgt Gary "Cookie" Cook: His wife is departing the local area, but he's staying here as our IMA...New Party Pad in the making??? Moving to XOO in a couple of months.

MSgt Joe Halenka: Came to TACC from the 931st and will be working on the Floor for a little while before returning to McConnell.

MSgt Rafael Him: Moved out of XOP and onto the floor, and has been loving life ever since. If you don't see him there, he's typically at his shop in New Baden. Anyone need to buy coffee, flowers, shaved ice, and subs all in the same stop? Just stop by and see Rafael.

183 SCOTT AFB, IL

HQ AMC/A3VK

KC-135

SMSgt Dan Smith: Dan is our fearless leader and our resident silvers league hockey player. He’s still thinks he can make it in the NHL. He just can’t convince his body of that. There isn’t anyone more motivated to get their degree done since the new HYT has come out.

SMSgt Troy Doane (STILL OUTBOUND): He hates working in the HQ AMC building so much that he has stayed to complete his fifth year. Mike is ready for him to leave so he can have a desk bigger than his computer screen. California will you please hurry up and finish the Environmental Assessment so he can leave us.

MSgt Jeff LeDoux: “Mudbug” is our resident Cajun. We keep him around to translate correspondence with the Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi units. This year he was finally able to take the paper bag off his head after the “Aints” finally won a Super Bowl. Jeff spends all his TDY money on his Fat Boy and with all the money he has spent, he could have bought another one brand spanking new.

MSgt Michael Ward: Arrived here from Altus nine months ago to replace Troy and still hasn’t finished his turnover. He was lucky enough to close on his house a week prior to the release of the new HYT which informed him that he must get promoted next year or retire, oh yeah and a trip to the SNCOA to boot. Thank you may I have another.

SMSgt Jeffrey Sidles (Inbound): Inbound from the Big El Forko. If Troy ever leaves he will have a desk in cubical land.

KC-10

SMSgt Jeff Russell: We’re not sure what Russell does here except supervise Todd and talk really loud. We know that Todd and Jeff spend as much time TDY as the KC-135 guys do, but only have two bases to worry about. Those KC-10 bases must need a lot of help with standardization. The whole building knows when Jeff is in town because we can all hear him spouting his words of wisdom.

184 MSgt (SMSgt Select) Todd McPeak: He is one of the few HQ AMC flyers that has figured out how to get promoted. Todd is the work horse of the KC-10 evaluators. He has volunteered for every job there is but we’re not sure he has mastered any of them. Russell, we believe spends his time supervising Todd while he does all the work. Todd is the POC for the ATP-56, so make sure and email him every day stating that you want to clear the receivers to “Pre-contact” not “Astern”. He’s looking for that kind of feedback.

108 ARS

“HOME OF THE MID-AMERICA MILITIA”

Hello again from the 108th at Scott AFB, Il. We are currently in the middle of our AEF and we are working with a skeleton crew all summer. We are now all Block 40 trained and are in full swing with our active duty counterparts, the 906th ARS. It’s hard to believe it’s almost been a year. I have not included any information on them here because quite frankly I don’t see them very often and am not sure who they are. Besides, they’re the “other” squadron. Step brothers and sisters if you will.

MSgt Dan Brown: Once again the family Brown will pull up roots. Dan and his family will be moving from Florida to Germany. Dans’ wife accepted a job there and they will be leaving this summer. Although we don’t see him very often, we’re sad to see him go.

SMSgt Bill Buckwalter: Bucky, the quiet man continues at NGA. One of the twin towers of part timer participation along with Doeding.

MSgt Steve Butler: Steve continues to do a bang up job in scheduling. He’s a very busy man working boom, pilot and flying issues. He has taken on a young assistant, Liggett, who sometimes even assists.

TSgt Mark Buzenski : We thought Buz was leaving us this year but after lasik surgery and clearing waivers, he will be staying on.

TSgt Jamie Castillo: Jamie had a busy year- completing checkrides, testing, physicals. Oh, that’s right. That’s what we do. Jamie continues at Enterprise and also has a son in the CE unit.

MSgt Doug Doeding: Doug continues his consistent and dependable service. With Bucky, he is one of the twin towers of part timer participation. He enjoys quiet country living when away from the squadron.

MSgt Paul Fusek: Paul continues his contractor work across the ramp. He is still recovering from a knee injury after a slip on the ice from an Alaskan business effort this past winter.

CMSgt Sam Gerros: The Chief recently took up the guitar and can be heard learning chords into the night on TDY’s. Keep an eye on You Tube.

SMSgt Arie Latimer: Sean and his wife recently adopted a little girl. He also continues to work on his Spanish proficiency and has been getting a lot of opportunities putting it to practical use south of the border.

186 SSgt Jameson Liggett: Assists Steve Butler in scheduling when he’s not flying. Our youngest boom even passed his fitness test- the second time. His wife was not impressed. She is a fitness instructor.

SrA Matt Lindewirth: Matt was recently commissioned and returned to the Naval Reserves this year.

MSgt Chris Meinken: Chris may be retiring near the end of the year. If so, a new lunch planner will have to be found. The “Godfather” of lunch plans, no one goes to lunch without Chris’s permission. No one.

TSgt Pat McCauley: World traveler Pat turned the big 50 but has not slowed down a bit. He continues his fireman and boomer duties with great vigor.

TSgt: Nathan Moore: Nate the Tank and his wife Jen welcomed a baby girl into the world. That’s two now, one each and counting.

MSgt John Reed: John is a music aficionado. He is an avid guitar player and very dedicated to the fitness program. John has his own category called “Reedwop” for timecard purposes.

SMSgt Rizzo: We don’t see Rizzo as much anymore. Still heading up Stan Eval, he is in a new building since we integrated. He still makes it over from time to time, gathering around the coffee table to discuss current events.

TSgt: Kate Shoemake: Kate is staying busy enjoying the guard life, and going to school full time.

TSgt Chris Slater: C-turtle continues to work doing counter drug. He is an active deployer and has helped out various units from time to time.

SMSgt Keith Wagner: This aging boomer continues to amaze. His fitness scores reflect those of a man half his age. He and his wife Marla recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

TSgt: Chris Zahner: Chris is staying busy using his big brain at Boeing. Math does matter.

906 ARS

“HOME OF THE DAKRATS”

The 906th moved here from Grand Forks and officially stood up in October of 2009. We have assimilated with the 126th ARW, a unit with a lot of pride and history, to bolster the AMC mission as an ‘active associate’ unit. We passed the crawl stage months ago. The walk stage was brief as we started deploying some of our people as soon as we had the means. In the coming months, we will begin to run as we take on our deployment schedule, inspections and anything else that comes our way.

The unit is different from most in that we have maintenance melded in with ops. This has given us occasional challenges as we work in the OG that does not. Both our Commander and DO have attended maintenance officer school and have done well to ensure we, as the Mighty 906th, work together as a whole towards the 126th ARW mission. All of our ops billets are nearly full but the maintainers are still getting new people every week. When all is said and done, the 906th, will be the most diverse unit on base; from the Command Post controller to the Supply troop, we will be self -sustaining.

From the Boomer perspective, we have some of the highest caliber people you could ever ask for. From the Superintendent perspective, we have some of the highest caliber people you could ever ask for. The mission will only pick up its pace and the Mighty 906th is ready to roll.

SMSgt Craig Eyre (Sq Supt): Arrived here from Edwards and quickly took over as the Squadron Superintendent. Craig eagerly jumped in to mother AMC’s hands and, although not required, logged himself an Inadvertent Brute Force Disconnect. He pulled out his binder with a Dash 3 (and 400-4) to talk about what happened…we’re doing the best we can with him. Craig is the voice of reason and keeps the squadron engine humming along quite nicely.

MSgt JL Smith (OGV/Chief Boom): He can be found in the pattern flying for Terry, just call command post. ADDITION: Yes, JL may be flying for Terry but he’s probably standing in front of a mirror doing his best ‘Fonzi’ pose. He reminds us of Alan Ladd in Shane and it’s more than the hair…he’s also a pretty fair shot with the pubs. We expect great things from JL and he has yet to offer anything less.

188 TSgt Justine “P-squared” Pescatello-Parr (OGT): Justine washed ashore, literally almost overnight. After almost an eternity overseas Justine has landed on American soil. Shaking out the Kadena/Mildenhall “isms” may be a daunting task but we are up to it. Justine is still the firecracker, ready to meet you head on with facts and references for support material. She is happy to be back in the states with a nice home in O’Fallon.

TSgt Travis “Boomer Sooner” Jones (XP): On Travis’s first local flight here he got a dose of what to expect when the pilot rang the alarm bell for the take off report. In Travis’ panicked, stressed demeanor he rudely asked if this was normal. Be sure to ask him if he knows how to use a washing machine. Good thing he has a home warranty! Travis will soon be Mr. Mom when Brandy heads off to the sandbox for 120 days so wish him luck.

SSgt Terry “Terry Based Training (TBT)” Brown (OGT): A new year ushers in a new Terry: quiet, humble, and eager to go the extra mile for his fellow man……..Terry keeps our young Lieutenants occupied with stories of the good ole days and how to most effectively work the pepper grinder. If you don’t know what the pepper grinder is just ask him and he will happily explain at full volume. Terry has been the ideal boom to break in a newly minted First Sergeant who has never been around crew dogs before.

SSgt Othello “Iceman” Harris (Readiness): Fresh out of Altus, Othello joins us as a former AFE guy from Hill AFB. Despite rolling in with a morale patch, zipper down to his knees, and throttled boots for his FIRST SORTIE, he seems to be calm cool and collected. He claims to be the fastest man in the squadron, which is pretty gutsy considering how new he is. We don’t have much on Othello just yet, but we will have something juicier on him next year.

Retiree

Mr. Cleve Filmmore: Big man at OSS plans. Retired out of TACC as Supt years ago and claims it was AFTER the -97s left service. Business first and then chat over a great cup of coffee.

Pipeline inbounds: Amn Richard Bradford and A1C Alexander Crawford due here in October.

189 SELFRIDGE ANGB, MI

"SIX PACK"

The 171st Air Refueling Squadron is up and running after our conversion from C-130 aircraft to the KC-135 aircraft. Along the way we picked up some members of the local reserve unit that moved to Tampa and have been operating on a non-stop basis since. Our next challenge is our ORI and AEF right after. If you find yourself in Michigan stop by and say hi.

CMSgt Richard Burl: Chief Boom: Looking forward to the future driving John Deer tractors and hunting:

SMSgt Michael Gay: Stan / Eval: Enjoys augmenting SAV teams whenever he can. He ensured us that his time in Puerto Rico involved a lot of work and he would not recommend it to anybody.

SMSgt Tony “Task Force Tony” Liggins: Plans: Can’t choose between supporting the Tigers or the Yankees.

SMSgt Hector Martinez: TACC Mafia: The man responsible for getting us our new name tags can be found on the road. He loves to go TDY.

MSgt John “The Coach” Karns: Training: In his spare time he is a baseball coach. The problem is he likes to charge the mound to much.

MSgt Johnny “Super Boom” White: UDM: Our local celebrity, winner of the Michigan Outstanding Airman of the Year. What next?

MSgt Gary Wojichowski: Current Ops: Quiet at times. If you need him look for his boat.

MSgt George Hall: Training: Says he is a Spartan fan but he has been spotted wearing Michigan gear.

MSgt Robert Sudberry: TACC Mafia: Mr. Smooth.

MSgt Joseph LaPinta: TACC Mafia: Joe speaks his mind, so if you don’t want to hear it – don’t listen to it.

MSgt Michael “Karate Kid” Weir: Current Ops: Opened a do jang recently. He loves to inflict pain on unsuspecting individuals.

190 TSgt Tobe Snay: TACC Mafia: In the process of becoming the best customs agent he can be.

TSgt Aaron “The Balkster” Balk: Traditional: When not playing with his G.I. Joe action figures he works at TACOM and travels the world.

TSgt Matthew Huff: TACC Mafia: Our local political activist. You either love what he says or you hate it.

TSgt William “Bubba” Hyde: TACC Mafia: When a person goes by the name Bubba, where do you start?

TSgt Johnny Ricks: Special Projects: Works in the Group.

TSgt Dominic Orlando: TACC Mafia: Works as a customs agent. He is our first line of defense against Canada.

TSgt David Beyer: TACC Mafia: When he is not flying you can catch him playing fantasy football. Last year he barely made it out of the first round of the playoffs.

SrA Misty Bice: TACC Mafia: Part time college student and full time troublemaker, or is the other way around.

TSgt Michael “Butters” Stahl: Traditional: The most sophisticated redneck recently left us to go to Kansas. He will be missed. He looks just like the South Park character, Butters.

“RED EAGLES”

The 911th Booms have been very busy the last year, slowly we are upgrading all of our boom force to instructors and promoting any Senior Airman available. We moved into our new building and have been slowly working out all the kinks. We are looking forward to all of the upcoming inspections and exercises; our reprieve from that pain has come to an end. We have been working pretty hard at keeping a contingent of people in the dessert, we’ve got to get those co-pilots their hours! We are hoping to get a few pipeline booms headed our way, our Senior Airman are getting tired of being at the bottom of the totem pole. Don’t forget to look us up if you ever make it to this neck of the woods.

SMSgt Timmy Joe Clark: After working as the Chief boom for the last two and a half years he has decided to hang up his hat. He plans on pursuing biker babes to fill the back seat of his 2010 Street Glide. Timmy Joe is looking forward to the quiet life in rural Oklahoma, or wherever his motorcycle takes him.

SMSgt Dan Michener: Since deploying and working his diplomatic magic, he was able to keep a certain deployed location from closing up shop. Sergeant Michener has continued to maintain a close watch over all the boom check rides from his perch in OGV. He will be moving over (down) to the Chief Boom position when Timmy Joe departs to fix.

MSgt Garry Isbell: No longer DNIF (well actually he still is). Sergeant Isbell has spent some time deployed and continuing to sculpt his physique. Garry continues to spend a lot of time at Boy Scout camp, evidently he has yet to receive his fire building merit badge, even after burning down his lawn mower shed!

MSgt Bill McQueen: Our only addition to the boom force since the initial influx, we all look forward to working with Bill, he has been trying to explore all 4,000 sq. ft. of his new house at the country club. He is still working on getting his nose to the right elevation to match all his neighbors. Bill will be taking over OGV.

TSgt Jayson Chatham: We don’t hear much from Jayson as he spends most of his time breaking message traffic and getting radio checks on his TAAN. He has taken on a roommate hoping that will help his chances on his next check ride. At least the dishes are always clean!

192 TSgt Neal Husong: While working as flight superintendent Neal has managed to keep all the neighbor dogs out of his yard and is still at war with the ants and dandelions. Neal is currently DNIF working a major issue with his back that will hopefully be resolved before he loses all ability to manipulate an Xbox controller.

TSgt Jonathan Taylor: Well Jon was able to finagle a set of orders to ole’ moldy hole, so if you are on your way to the desert he said he will keep a cold one ready for you. He will also be glad to help you with any of your DTS issues that you may have.

SSgt Earl Mayhew: Have you seen Earl? While working in current ops down stairs that provides for plenty of time for him to perfect his bull riding pirate diesel truck mechanic skills. Earl continues to work on his new house and will hopefully have it complete by the time he gets orders.

SSgt Jessica Elmore: Well just like a mother hen, she works continually to keep all the booms on the flying schedule. Somehow she manages to find plenty of time to spoil her baby, and keep her husband busy with honey-do’s.

SSgt Travis Swinson: Travis continues to hunt, fish, boat (all red-neck activities), fix the house and play with his kids. Someday he may spend more time working (at work) and less watching U- Tube fish stories.

SSgt Adam Craft: Adam has decided that he doesn’t need a monster truck anymore, so he downgraded to a regular ride height power-stroke. He finally bought Sandy a new car after one too many breakdowns in the civic. Adam got approval to cross-train into ATC, if the squadron will release him.

SSgt Chris Yontz: Well in between deployments and managing training flight for the last year Chris finally slipped one past the goalie; his wife is pregnant and he is scared. He is currently working on plans to convert the infamous beer pong table into a changing table.

SSgt Ray Johnson: Ray has been studying the works of Bob Vila and working his tail off fixing up the house he just bought, he is bound to get orders any day after that move.

SSgt Sean Gilson: Sean bought him a big ole’ crotch rocket, 1000cc! He spends most of his time with Yontz in training flight learning the nuances of the vol. 1 while waiting for a CFIC class date that won’t fall through on him.

SrA Ashley Peek: Ashley has decided that she needs bigger mirrors on her VW since she can’t seem to keep it out of the ditch. Ashley finally got off the fence and decided to reenlist and give Uncle Sam four more years.

SrA Andrew Heacock: Another boom that slipped one past the goalie, he is the proud papa of a baby boy. He has gone from street bike, to sports car to family car all in the last nine months.

SrA Dan Miller: Well Dan decided that he preferred the college life to the Air Force, so he will be attending Ohio State this fall, GOOD LUCK DAN! His first day at Starbucks he got a phone number on a napkin from a nice man, don’t ask, don’t tell.

“HOME OF THE TOTIN’ TIGERS”

A big "Hey Y'all" from the booms here at the 77th, "Home of the Totin' Tigers". We deployed to Guam & The Deid. The 911th ARS has now been here awhile and we seem to be playing well. We have discovered that the active duty gets a lot of time off, although some of them deploy more. We are now in our new combined Squadron building. If you're in town, stop by & we’ll give you a tour. If you brave enough we'll take you out for some Carolina barbeque & sweet tea! So if you’re thinking about leaving active duty or want to come to a real Reserve unit, want to go to school and still want to be a boom operator, consider giving us a call. Keep this in mind also. We've got some great schools like NC State, UNC, Wake Forrest, East Carolina, Campbell University, Duke, and Meredith all within an hour and a half of the unit.

Blue Skies, Chief Tony Parris 77 ARS Program Manager

SSgt Sena Alfaro: She was kidnapped from Active duty and now works more 2 days a week. She’s attached to the Stan-Eval office as one of SMSgt Bradley’s Peep’s. Mostly pubs but is our enlisted version of a SELO except she does more. She now has more time for her family.

SrA Jeremy “Tin Man” Bennett: He came to us from the Cherry Point Depot and has a background in depot level helicopter maintenance. Not a Jar Head. He comes up about once a week to fly but wants to be a bum, he just can’t get enough of us.

SMSgt Barry "Stan Evil" Bradley: Barry is our Stan/Evil Hammer boom. No more teaching technique for him anymore! Barry has put 8K on his Harley to include over a thousand miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the NC Mountains. He spends more time going to conferences and evaluating; he’s finding it hard to stay current.

TSgt Rich “Bowl O’ Chili” Bonicelli: He's still our favorite at story time in the break room. If you want to know about the Bronze Age or anything obscure, just ask. He is now a veteran building manager and will continue his legacy in the new Combined OP’s building. Rich’s new favorite music “Fire Alarms”.

195 TSgt Jorge “Habi” Brewer: Jorge is working with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol Hispanic Affairs in Raleigh. He comes in from time to time to fly. Don’t get him excited unless you speak his language “Spanglish and Troopereze”. He punked his Trooper Boss, so he may be looking for a new job soon.

MSgt David “Chando” Chandonnet: Dave is still now the Wing Historian and is now perusing his degree as a pharmacist. He’s also a proud papa to his daughter Danielle and son Cameron.

MSgt Keny “Dammit” Fallin: Keny is in Scheduling Still. We think he’s gone mad but the shop will not let him go! He is a dad to a baby girl name Ava Grace. He still believes that Budweiser is the only beer in the World.

SSgt William “The Noid” Frazer: He’s back at work with his civilian employer and is prepping for his first ORI as a boom operator. The world is in trouble.

TSgt Tara “Scratch ‘n Dent” (formally known as Hopewell) Kirkpatrick: Tara is still keeping her rep up as the crash-up derby professional. She has another new car # 14 we think. She still keeping us laughing & scratching our heads. What did she say?

MSgt Kevin “Ticket” Hughes: He spends most of his extra money on his Custom built 40,000 square foot Palace. His pocket change is going to keep Family entertained. The pennies he gets out of the “Take one” tray by the register go to his Vette. He still has his big Coca Cola 600 tail gate party give him a call and “Lets Go Racing”.

MSgt Mark “Beerman” McElmurry: Mark is one of our Boom Schedulers now. He still has his beer “Still” going but not making enough to share. But he won’t share until his stock prices go up.

MSgt William “Grandpa” Norris: William is the Training Flight king now. He also is reliving his biker days now that he’s back on two wheels. He plans on retiring this June 2010. Give him a call and wish him good luck.

MSgt Lori “TDY” O’Connell: We wish we could tell you more but she is never here. On the other hand Jim (aka The Husband) enjoys spending her TDY money on his Harley! He now has a full dresser. Lori is our UDM now and has pulled most of her hair and everyone else’s out.

CMSgt Tony Parris: Chief Parris is back in the fold as the boss this time. Chief still enjoys his Volvo wagons but we are trying to influence him into the Harley world. So he bought a Jeep, we think it’s so he can pull a trailer for when he buys his first Harley.

SSgt Jeremy Reynolds: Jeremy has now come completely over to the dark side he’s an ART, God help him! He’s working in Current OP’s and is now single handedly running that shop.

SMSgt Billy “Mr. Thursday Night” Somerville: B.J. is our regular Thursday night flyer (hence the nickname). He now has the responsibility to help the Chief run the boom shop and whip the booms in shape! He wears his Harley leathers when he uses his wipe!

196 TSgt Steven "Butter-bean, aka Loverboy" Stanton: Steve is now our ATSO wizard and still our ground safety rep. Steve is also a Harley Davidson owner (Rowdy & Barry influence) and a part of the Totin’ Tiger Biker Gang.

SrA Andrew “Ricky Jug’s” Steuart: He is our newest and brightest Boom somewhat fresh out of Altus. He is the “Ask Drew He will do Anything” guy. He tries to keep up with some of the Booms while on the road but he ends up with his head down in defeat.

“HOME OF THE BATS”

Greetings from the “Heart of America”! Another busy year has passed, and our squadron continues to evolve into a seasoned tanker unit. This year we said goodbye to CMSgt James Hill who retired after offering 25 years of outstanding service to our country. He was a tremendous asset to our career field and he will definitely be missed! Our unit will forge on without him getting ready for five different inspections and one AEF (seems like we spend more time preparing for inspections than we do getting ready for and executing our mission?). If you’re ever in the neighborhood, give us a call and we’ll be more than happy to offer up some midwest hospitality and share a few light refreshing beverages with you! Unit history and nickname: Unit stood up shortly after WWII. We have a proud tradition in military aviation flying the P-51, F-80, F-84, F-100, A-7, F-16, & KC-135E&R. The unit’s nickname was adopted during the 185th Fighter Group’s deployment of F-100s to Viet Nam. The missions the unit was tasked to fly were almost exclusively at night leading to “The Bats” nickname.

All contact info:

DSN 585-XXX COMM (712) 233-XXXX Sioux City ANGB – 1-800-582-5718 (then press last four extension) Email – [email protected] Sq. Admin. – DSN 585-0202

CHIEF BOOM

CMSgt Phil Frank: (AGR) – ext. 0205 – I’m still working on my complete “Guardization” program with the help of the fine aircrew here in the 174th ARS. I’m not quite there yet because I’ll occasionally have an Active Duty relapse by putting on my hat when stepping off the crew bus or calling some pilot sir. I’m making slow but steady headway though. This assignment has truly been an outstanding opportunity and I’ve been very fortunate to be able to plant roots with my family & finish my military career in a great unit with outstanding people!

198 STAN/EVAL

SMSgt Al Mast: (OGV Boom, AGR) – ext. 0244 – Al was one of the first boom hires when the unit converted from fighters to tankers. He was previously a Life Support guy and a Recruiter. He is the “Guardfather” as he seems to know everybody on base (probably because he recruited 75% of them). He is our “no nonsense, tell it like it is” lead evaluator who took over the OGV position when the “Chief Boom Retirement Shuffle” happened. He’s really looking forward to his first AMC Pyramid Eval & ASEV inspection this Summer!

MSgt Chuck Heald: (EB, Technician) – ext. 0235 – Chuck was a weapons loader “BT” (Before Tankers) and recently moved to Stan/Eval following the Chief’s retirement. Much to his chagrin, he just took over TODO duties in addition to his other evaluator duties. He’s a tremendous worker and will handle the responsibility in stride. Due to recent defections from some of our younger full-time booms, Chuck is our lone Technician. He is our local weapons experts and is an annual member of our base marksmanship team. So, I wouldn’t try to break into his house, especially if you are an AGR!

TRAINING

MSgt Dave Dietrich: (IB, AGR) – ext 0259 – Dave is a great IB who wears many hats. In addition to training, he is our Weapons & Tactics boom, and Cargo Load Manager. Dave is the “X Road Warrior”. In the first 5 years “AT” (After Tankers), Dave was a TDY machine and was constantly on the road. A couple of years ago, he met a gal, fell in love, got married and no longer wants to go anywhere. So, we strapped him to a desk and gave him all the jobs and additional duties. I don’t think his Bride even knows his job involves the possibility of travel? It seems to be working out fine as our young booms are taking all the trips and Dave is staying home and making babies. He & Amy were just blessed with a healthy baby girl this month.

TSgt Jason Stoos: (IB, AGR) – ext 0262 – Jason recently got his wish & changed over from Technician to AGR. He thinks he will get more money and be able to retire sooner when in reality, he is just became another target for the “TLA” (Technician Liberation Army). I just moved him to training so he can fully experience the joys of preparing for and participating in an AMC ASEV. Jason is a frequent “Road Warrior” who will generally go anywhere any time, thus allowing Dietrich to stay home and make babies.

CURRENT OPERATIONS

MSgt Lee Phelps: (IB, AGR) – ext 0234 – Lee is also a “Road Warrior” who likes to travel the world a lot so Dietrich can stay home with his bride. His position in Current Ops is perfect for a world traveler. He puts the future TDYs up on the trip board, then promptly volunteers to go on all of them. I think if he had a choice, he would clone himself so he could cover twice as many trips and double his per diem. He finds time in between trips to do some Current Ops stuff and work on his new house, old house and occasionally take his wife & the boys hunting or fishing. He just bought a boat, and now has to figure out if it will fit in the cargo door for TDY use.

199 SCHEDULING

SMSgt Jay Doran: (IB, AGR) – ext 0261 – When it comes to tankers in Sioux City, Jay Doran equals scheduling continuity. Many pilots have come and gone and Jay has trained and dismissed them all. I wish every week was Jays week as we might actually get more night contacts and less Pattern Only/ERCC sorties (really, I’m not bitter!). Jay continues to do great work and someday (when I retire) we’ll move him out of scheduling. Jay’s oldest kid is graduating high school this year and Jay is currently ramping up to tackle the giant “Honey-Do” list to prepare for the epic graduation party at the house. Good luck brother!

COMBAT CREW COMMUNICATIONS

TSgt Misty McNamara: (MB, AGR) – ext 0281 – Misty is also another recent AGR convert from Technician. Her work ethic and duty location (the vault) should help shield her from future “TLA” (Technician Liberation Army) targeting. She does great work for Crew Comm and the squadron. She is always upbeat and willing to help with projects, take short notice trips or make a few name tags! Misty will be heading to IB school this fall & I know she’ll do great. Misty completes the Trifecta of full-time “Road Warrior” boom operators who are on the road 100+ days a year so Dietrich can stay home and camp with the family. Dave…I kid, I kid!

TRADITIONAL BOOM MAFIA

SMSgt Tim Ireland: (IB) – Tim is a school teacher/assistant principal who finished his Masters last year so he could get paid more teaching. He then promptly stopped teaching & took a military leave of absence and has been working with us on long term TACC/MPA days for the last year. He plans on riding the TACC/MPA “Gravy Train” as long as it continues to run here in Sioux City. He’s got some Army Guard time under his belt and is coming up on 30 years of service to Iowa & the United States. I’ve told him to enjoy that new stripe as much as he can before the ANG “Grade Leveling” initiative takes it back!

MSgt Dudley Joines: Dudley is our local law enforcement connection. He is a Sioux City Policeman who bears a striking resemblance to Mark McGuire (baseball player). Last time we were in Hawaii together he was actually hounded for autographs while sitting at the bar. Dudley is constantly walking the tight rope trying to maximize his pay/retirement with the downtown cops and the Air Guard. He’s currently deployed with an active duty unit to CENTCOM for 120 days trying to boost his New GI Bill benefits so he can transfer them to his kid. Hopefully I don’t get fired for letting him go?

MSgt Marshall Hill: Marshall is another TACC/MPA “Gravy Trainer” who has been on orders with us for almost two years now. He normally works for the US Postal service downtown; but he must find this “Boom Operator” gig more appealing as he is constantly informing me he is available to stay on long term orders until April of 2032. Marshall is quite possibly the nicest man on the face of the planet!

TSgt Mike Dunlop: Mike got an AGR job with the state’s counter drug program a while back. He flies on helicopters and spends his summers out looking for “Weed” and evil doers (just ask him, he’ll tell you). His job is on the other side of the state, so it’s challenging for him to make it over to fly for us a lot. He has settled into a routine of coming over to fly prior to Drills and occasionally taking a trip for the team (Geilenkirchen, Hawaii, Spain). You know, the ones nobody else will take.

200 TSgt Andy Pick: Andy is an insurance underwriter and works across the river in Nebraska. He is one of our true traditional booms who comes to most drills & supports our AEFs. He has a young family and has to work a deal with his civilian employer when he wants to come do some work for the “Guards”. So we appreciate his time when he comes to fly with us. He is our designated Tuesday night flyer and does a pretty good job staying current as long as the winter weather allows us to put an airplane in the air.

TSgt Angela Flanagan: Angie may be our longest TACC/MPA “Gravy Trainer”. She’s been on orders for a couple years now with an occasional break to burn a few FTP’s & Drills. She has done a great job taking the lead and helping with the administration involved with our little TACC tanker detachment. It must be working out for her? She has a nice truck, a nice boat, and is getting ready to buy a house that’s twice the size of mine, so she’s doing something right (or maybe I’m doing this thing all wrong?)!

TSgt Scott Anthone: Scott is the latest passenger to board the TACC “Gravy Train”. He’s taking a break from his banking job down in Omaha to spend time out on the road doing AMC’s bidding. It’s pretty much AE or “Coronetpalooza” for the rest of 2010 for Scott. He is an avid “Hand-shaker”. In fact, I don’t think he can have a conversation without first shaking your hand. I’m convinced he shakes his own hand before talking when I call his phone?

SSgt Melissa Keith: Melissa is our youngest boom who we took from our crew chiefs corps a couple of years ago. Her background in the airplane has helped her adjust to her boom duties with no problems. She must be a quick learner as she also rapidly adjusted to “Pilot Duty Day Hours” here in Ops. She rolled out of MCT and right into steady “Gravy Train” orders supporting TACC. Between trips she is continuing her education and working towards a nursing degree so she’ll have a job when the biscuit wheels eventually fall off the gravy train.

SSgt Matt Wulf: Matt has not gotten the chance to live the “Boom Operator Dream” yet. He finished boom school with flying colors the spring of 2009 and returned to the unit to start MCT. Unfortunately, Matt had a medical set back and was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer last summer. He is a strong kid and has fought his way through the ordeal and I’m ecstatic to report he was declared cancer free earlier this year. He’s had to put his boom career and life on hold for a bit; but we’re looking forward to a successful return to flying status for him in 2011.

“FIGHTIN’ TENTH”

Greetings from Central Oklahoma, home to the Greatest Air Logistics Center in the USAF! The saying around here still is “If you don’t like the weather now wait an hour and it will change”. Oklahoma City has an NBA team “Go Thunder”, the mission is to FCF 50+ KC-135’s of different series (E, Q, R, O, and N, W) every year. The 10th FLTS FCF’s B-1, E-3 and B-52 aircraft as well as the KC-135. It’s true; Bomber and Tanker guys can work together in the same Squadron. We pride are selves in sending the “Best airplanes back to the War Fighter”. Flight Test puts new meaning to the motto: “Harry up and wait”! Drop by the unit!

SMSgt Rick Powell (AGR): (Overlord) Rick has continued the tradition as Overload, he went to last year’s (-6) PMRC and is still refining the checklist for those that follow. Rick as completed his CCAF degree; and he is now taking online class’s for a Bachelors of Arts degree in Organizational Management. Rick has a new Triumph Bonneville, and he thinks he is Steve McQueen now! Rowdy convinced Rick that the end is near, so Rick and Rowdy are going to every gun show in town, and Oklahoma has a lot gun shows, one about every weekend, Rick now has an AK-47. [email protected]

MSgt (Rowdy) Smith (AGR): (Underlord) Rowdy is learning the Flight Test way of life, sit around and wait and then wait some more! Rowdy put a BIG bore kit in his Harley and now he thinks he is Speed Racer on a Harley! Rowdy has started collecting guns and keeps saying the apocalypse is coming. Rowdy bought an AR-15, now when we go shooting at the range, (yah Right!) he always screams “Get some”! We think it’s all those war game video’s he plays has affected this mind. Rick has convinced Rowdy to go back to school and get his Bachelors degree so now, Rick and Rowdy sit around talking about how bad the management is! Rowdy will be the next ETIMS expert, he is going TDY to Florida but he keeps talking about girls and beaches, we hope he learns something? [email protected]

MSgt Frank Valley (TR): (“Book em Franko”) Frank is still working for the Mid West City Police department. Frank still skydives too; and we still think he is crazy, we keep telling him “never jump out of a perfectly good airplane!” Frank is known at the police department as “Excessive use of Force, Valley”, if you’re in Mid West city, Oklahoma don’t get in trouble or you may be starring down the barrel of Officer Valley’s taser. Frank is building a new house and I mean

202 the whole house with his hands! Last time we called him he was on a wood beam putting trusses up in his garage. [email protected] Booms of Yore

SMSgt Quinn Janke (Retired): (CTR) Quinn works at the ALC as a Contractor for the KC-135 Flight Manuals Manager. Gary Mott is still his boss, well sort of? We think that the job is getting to him. He just had triple bypass heart surgery and his blood pressure is like 180 standing still, maybe it’s his wife or ex-wife? We haven’t figured it out yet? Well, he is so mean that nothing has stopped him yet! Don’t ask him to do anything like send you a safety sup to the T.O.’s or his blood pressure will go through the roof! [email protected]

SMSgt Brian Buss (AGR): (“BB”) Brian is running the Group training shop now. We think it’s another flavor of cool-Aid? Check “BB’s” notes in the 413th FTG’s input to the signal. [email protected]

Ron Poe (Retired): I hear he is in the area but we don’t know him, ask Quinn but be careful his blood pressure goes crazy fast, if you’re looking for him.

MSgt Beve Katus (Retired): Still living in the local area and working at the ALC on his second retirement. Ask Quinn, he knows all the OLD guys! [email protected]

MSgt Rick “Ricky” Erwin (ART): Missed his calling as a stand-up comic. Rick continues to have us in stitches when telling stories. It’s the body language and gestures he’s so good at. Rick is working current ops and mission planning. Retirement is in sight and he’s getting anxious.

MSgt Steve “Mr Ticket” Switzer (ART): Our training representative and ticket guru. Steve has a natural talent of acquiring event tickets for little of nothing and making bucks. Call him “Friendly Freddy” ‘cause he always has an angle. Fascinated with big bikes, road trips and turning tickets, Steve is always on top!

MSgt Mark “McGoo” McGougan (ART): Car trader extraordinaire! Our Mission Development trip trader, Mark has his hands full with a very energetic little guy named “KYLE!” Love’s being a Dad and taking trips.

MSgt Alvin “KOOP” Kuper (ART): Koop was a dad again on the 25th of February to Emerson Matthew, a healthy 7lb, 8 oz. baby boy. Our assistant mobility guy and newest ART got married last year and then hit the road. Congrats to “Da-Da”!

MSgt Justin Hopkins (TR): Taking a winter break from electrical work, Justin enjoyed his time in Guam and came home with a nice tan. Did I say “Beach time?”

TSgt Jeff “350” Bass (TR): Our newest boom, cross-trained from Maintenance. Jeff loves the jet- suit lifestyle of Op’s. He finally got that “room by himself” when TDY and has a smile on his face. Jeff is busy with honey-do’s getting ready for a baby soon!

TSgt Charles “Chaz” Dalton (TR): Chaz has been in the Desert and flying his keester off! Did I say “Tan?” Looking for any kind of flying work to supplement his need for speed!

TSgt Ben “Full House” Brent (TR): Our newest candidate toward CFIC, Ben is studying the books. Wanna play poker? Ben loves that game but watch out………….he might have a “full house!”

SSgt Ron Davis (TR): Recently off his sabbatical, Ron has returned to fly. As a reward he received a 60 day tour at the Died! Welcome Back Ron, we missed you!

SrA Josh Holdridge (TR): Our resident lawn care professional. Always looking buff without the shirt (free advertising) and completing his college pursuit. Light is at the end of that tunnel and the doors are open for a new flying career.

SrA Matt Tompkins (TR): Our youngest boom and lean forward guy. Swamped with college courses Matt is determined to graduate by Fall. He too has light at the end of the tunnel and looking for an open door to a new flying career.

SrA Terry Allen (TR): Former AWACS back ender now front end Boom Operator. Rapidly spooling him up and flying his butt off, Terry gets a paid trip to the Died where he’ll pay his dues. Did I say “TAN?”

9 ARS

Hello from the 9th ARS in beautiful (rainy) Northern California. I arrived to the 9th about 10 months ago from the AMOG/TALCE/CRW/CRG/AMOS world and discovered that the booms here have pretty much PCA’d to the desert. Some of the SrA here have more Air Medals than a lot of Generals. It makes Blues Monday that more interesting in seeing the accomplishments of these fine GWOT (yeah, I know, but by my book it is still a war) heroes. And now, on to the 9th ARS boom operators.

MARK BARNETTE, MSgt, USAF 9 ARS/DOV Boom Chief

SMSgt John Brannen: John came to us from AMC/HQ and has been in a whirlwind since he got here. He is still in FTU but he will be up to speed in no time. He has a nice desk job waiting for him when he gets mission ready. Enjoy the trips now while you can.

MSgt Mike Routheau: Mike took over as chief boom and then did the smart thing. He deployed while all of the annual packages had to be written. He returned as soon as the last suspense was met. He is now trying to catch up on all of the FEBs, Article 15s, LORs, etc.

MSgt Demario Alcarez: Demario had the luxury of taking over as chief boom while the chief boom was deployed for 4 months. I noticed that his hair was getting thin up on top and he started going on more trips all of a sudden.

MSgt Mark Barnette: Mark joined us from the CRW and the smile has not left his face since. He went through Requal and right away went to running Stan/Eval. He now spends his time looking for trips so he can be TDY as much as he was in the CRW.

MSgt Ricky Recaido: Rick made Master and then decided to fill in for the first shirt for a couple of days. A couple of days turned into a couple of weeks, and so on. Then, he took Big Red for a spin in Sacramento, and I mean a spin. Big Red 0 – Cadillac Escalade 1. Insurance Company is now out $2500.

TSgt Daniel Falucho: Dan has done very well for himself getting situated in the Gucci world. He still has some 135 left in him that we haven’t beat out of him yet. He has deployed a couple of times and has a nice job working in Security.

211 TSgt Artis Jones: Artis was handed a mess called training flight and then forced to fix a bigger mess when they combined training and scheduling. Artis did the right thing and volunteered to go to current ops.

TSgt Jason Trussell: If you can keep Jason still for a few minutes you will learn a lot about him. His wife is now a boom operator, he bought a house, and he is about to run training/scheduling. I could probable learn more if he could sit still for 6 minutes.

(T)Sgt Jonathan Farmer: Jon is a prior CE guy that just completed his training. He cranked out an awesome PDG score and made TSgt the first time, after he made SSgt the first time. He is very smart and knows his airplane knowledge. I am only saying this because I will have to work for Chief Farmer someday.

SSgt Justin Brundage: Justin has spent a lot of time in the Stan/Eval office and he finally gave too many less than Q-1s that he is going over to the FTU. He will be missed here as he knew all of the ways to write that a boom doesn’t know what he is talking about. We will miss him driving his truck in the parking lot with his Christmas tree in the back.

SSgt Marvin Colbert: One of our newest IBs and immediately went to work on one of our newest Q-3s. He got so busy that he decided to deploy to get away from everything for awhile. Not a bad idea but we will have another Q-3 for him when he gets back.

SSgt Joshua Graham: Josh has been busy taking over programs that he was given because he was not around to say no. He is running around the squadron counting computers right now not knowing that CoPilots like to check out laptops and never bring them back.

SSgt Joe Johnston: Joe likes to give checkrides and keep us guessing on the next best computer program. He is frustrated at me because I don’t know how to operate the Excel program he built to that explains the Theory of Relativity.

SSgt Erin Keogh: Erin is my resident crazy evaluator. He volunteered to go to the desert in July because he can lose more weight when it is hot. He weighs all of 120 lbs and talks about losing weight. Crazy is probable not the right word to describe him.

SSgt Luis Noriega: Luis has decided to stay in the Air Force for another 4 years and we could not be happier. We needed a young IB to take care of the younger guys because the old heads don’t need any more grey hairs. Thanks Luis.

SSgt Michael Parks: Mike came over from the CRW with his hair on fire. He went through requal and then deployed. After his deployment, he went right to IB school. Now he is an instructor teaching new booms his tricks. For you McGuire guys that knew Mike. Yes, he is the same and he is not the same all at once.

SSgt Daniel Rineer: Dan is now going through IB school and almost ready for a check ride. It will be a matter of time before we have him in the squadron working his own good deals like he did before. Except now, his good deals will include a student that needs training.

212 SSgt Daniel Rufkhar: Daniel is another boom that has decided to depart the fix and go direct VFR to the civilian sector. We are going to miss an experienced instructor like Dan and hope him the best.

SSgt Kenneth Tockey: Ken was a life support troop, then retrained to be a boom operator. For medical reasons, he went back to life support, now called Aircrew Flight Equipment. Then, his medical reasons cleared up, he is going through requal to be a boom operator again. Stay here Ken or AFE is going to have to change their name again.

SrA Carter Brazell: Carter just finished up with IB school and jumps at every chance to do some instructing. He also had a great Mustache March this year, just google Mr. Kotter from the TV show Welcome Back Kotter. That was his ‘stach.

SrA Rachel Cook: Rachel runs a very thorough scheduling desk. She likes to call me to notify me for a mission 30 minutes after I called her to put me on the mission. Nobody has ever had a problem not knowing what they were doing with Rachel on the desk.

SrA Michael Durham: Mike returned to flying status and received his A/R checkride. Now, he is back in the FTU to complete his unfinished Cargo training. The squadron sighed relief when he left because the PT sessions got a whole lot easier with him gone. Mike runs marathons for fun, we don’t.

SrA Jesse Eagles: I met Jesse and shortly later I found out that Jesse Eagles was married to Jesse Eagles. I was stationed in Georgia for a little bit and this is called inbreeding. Jesse and Jesse are both doing fine and maybe one day we will have a little Jesse running around.

SrA Matthew James: Matt is a bright young kid that stays out of trouble and his contribution to Mustache March was impressive. In a couple more years he will have one just as good as SrA Brazell’s.

SrA John Lamont: Johnny will be departing us soon for the civilian world. Good luck to him and to the future.

SrA Justin Newsome: Justin and his wife decided to procreate and brought a beautiful little girl into the world. So while little baby Grace is having her 3 AM wakeups, we sent Justin to IB school. Perfect timing on our part. Have fun Justin and don’t forget to study.

SrA David Pingleton: Dave works the scheduling desk and somehow ends up with the bad deals. I will give him some time to figure it out but I know he will figure it out. Right now he is in the desert enjoying the good life.

A1C Scott Ferguson: Another new boom operator that is actively participating in the training offered at the FTU. He should be back to the squadron within the year.

A1C Matthew George: Matt just came to us from FTU and he is ready to refuel some fighters dropping bombs on bad guys. Slow down Matt, you still need to get night fighters.

213 A1C Daniel Howe: Another bright and rising star at our FTU receiving his training. Next stop, cargo training.

A1C Ian Musgrave: Ian is at the FTU receiving his needed training. FTU is working on his ability to show up on time right now. When he learns this, then a cargo check will be in store.

A1C Jared Muzyczka: We call him Music because we do not even want to make the attempt at his real last name. Jared finished up FTU pretty quickly and immediately went to the desert to show the bad guys a fistful of music.

A1C Fritz Thompson: Fritz works the scheduling desk like a Godfather. He has a good deal for you if you kiss his ring. I know when he is on the desk because the other booms walk around talking about how they are “protected” by the man.

A1C Andrew Peace: Andrew just graduated from FTU and we rewarded him by sending him to the desert. No Class A mishaps so things must be going pretty good. Also, if you have a mud puddle in your front yard, Andrew will drive his truck through it for you.

Amn Logan Christianson: Logan, what can I say about Logan without affecting a possible jury of his peers? Logan now has less stripes now than when he came in, he is actually wearing a stripe now that he has never worn before. He is thankful that his flightsuit has Velcro. Oh and by the way ask him about chugging down a bottle of syrup if you see him.

Amn Alexander Coakley: Alex is enjoying himself down at the FTU and learning how to put the pole in the hole. I haven’t heard too much from his direction so that must mean a good thing.

Amn Joshua Gamble: FTU boom that I haven’t heard much from, which is a good thing.

CMSgt Terry (Hue) Monges: As hard as we try to get rid of him, he just won’t leave! Just back from Al Dhafra, UAE, where he deployed as a crew member. But we think he really went out there to harass poor, young, unsuspecting Airmen to make himself feel better. [email protected]

TSgt Jon (Tuck Tuck) Tucker: Tuck is one of the oldest booms in the unit; actually he might be the oldest in the Air Force! Has anyone seen his slip stick? And still saltier than a salt lick. [email protected]

TSgt Laura (Island Princess) Omo: Laura lives in Tucson, Arizona and has almost made it through the first year of marriage, still in good spirits. She and her hubby are having fun trying to make babies, practice makes perfect, right Laura? [email protected]

TSgt Jesse Farley: Jesse is the squadrons newest ART. If your non-current for ANYTHING Jesse will let ya’ know. He is now the Chief of Training. [email protected]

TSgt Rich (Snuffy) Costaflis: Snuffy “smile your on candid camera” is world renowned for his collection of hilarious squadron’s Christmas videos. [email protected]

TSgt Joe (Rocco) Huhn: Rocco currently holds the record for most amount of MPA days worked… He can typically be found in Hawaii somewhere with his BFF Jack. [email protected]

TSgt Christy (Thumpy) Jeffreys: Christy, one of the unit’s finest instructors, continually takes every chance she gets to jump on FTU or MPA orders. A girl’s got to make a living. Still splitting her time between Northern Cali and So Cal. She also pleads the 5th on answering why her nickname is Thumpy! [email protected]

TSgt Russ "the Love Mussel" Downie: Is our newest instructors & currently on MPA orders, enjoying his first year of marriage. We are still waiting for the babies! [email protected]

TSgt Scottie “Beam Me Up” Thomason: Is STILL riding on the coat tail of his father. He followed his father as boom operator and now into the family business, servicing and loading commercial cargo aircraft here at Travis. And, YES, he still has his play room full of Star Trek toys! [email protected]

TSgt Atasha “The Baby Making Machine” McClurg: Is currently on MPA orders and successfully finished her degree. She is applying for a pilot slot. She juggles being a mommy, wife (to an active duty KC-10 FE) & boom operator. Good luck Tash! [email protected]

SSgt Lindy Campbell: Is still a brat. She just finished up ALS, where she complained everyday! The squadron was handing out rank, so they decided to promote her. What is the Air Force coming to? When she is not going TDY she can be found at the nearest soccer field. [email protected]

218 SSgt Steve “Hangnail” Garrbett: Is one the squadron’s newer booms. He is recently mission qualified and enjoying the crack aka MPA orders. He became a father this month. [email protected]

SSgt Caldwell: Is another new boom operator. He came from the maintenance squadron, decided he wanted to be a FE, decided he didn’t like that either and is now a boom! [email protected]

SSgt Michael Goirl: Was tired of getting abused in active duty, so he palace chased. But quickly realized he is still at the bottom of the food chain, being the youngest member in the entire squadron. [email protected]

LOSSES

MSgt Matt Willing: Matt is approaching retirement. The boom career field will be losing a valuable asset and he will be missed by the 79th. [email protected]

TSgt Steve Rodrigues: Currently cross-training to be a Sensor Operator at Beale AFB, CA for the 13th RS. [email protected]

TSgt Jimmy (Get Rich) Castro: Is commissioning in the Army, to be an Intel Officer. We didn’t know people left the Air Force for the Army. Do we wish him luck or the Army? [email protected]

SSgt Douglas “DK” Smith: DK is finishing up OTS right now and then onto UPT! We are all very proud of him and can’t wait to have him back in the squadron. Hopefully he’s better at flying the jet than he was at refueling them! [email protected]

SSgt Jason Besaw: Decided he didn’t like Travis, so he went back to Beale to do something with the Global Chicken… Attempting to get commissioned with them.

SSgt Steve Collins: Has also left the 79th to become a Sensor Operator at Beale AFB, CA for the 13th RS.

SSgt Dustin Umberger: Is also cross-training to be a Sensor Operator at Beale AFB, CA for the 13th RS.

SrA (For Life) Chris Raabe: – Is currently MIA. Seriously, has anyone seen him? If so, please let us know! [email protected]

219 TRAVIS AFB, CA

615 CONTINGENCY RESPONSE WING

The times just seem to get busier and busier for the men and women of the 615th Contingency Response Wing. And it’s no different for the CRW booms. Multiple OEF, OIF AFRICOM and SOUTHCOM deployments have our booms fighting the fight from the ground. Things continue to look just as hectic for the remainder of 2010 and into 2011. Though not on every boom’s “to do” list, the CRW promises exposure to the air mobility system, the “real” Air Force and our sister services that most booms will not experience during their careers. If you’re thinking of hitting the volunteer button on Equal Plus, just do so with an open mind and a good attitude—it makes the difference.

(S)MSgt Gary Evans: Paroled! By the time you read this, Gary will be heading back to flying— only to a different airplane. Seems he somehow made Senior and promoted himself out of the 135. Look for him at McGuire in the KC-10 when he’s not traversing Jersey to try and catch a glimpse of Bruce Springsteen. The time in the CRW has been good for Gary, but he’s not quite sure he wants to be a Contingency Response recruiter for other booms. [email protected]

MSgt Cliff Bond: Cliff is still doin' time in the CRW. He’s finishing up a year in XP and hoping to move on to teach affiliation...counting the days till he gets out of here and back in the air. [email protected]

MSgt Patrick Denson: Somehow Pat snagged orders to Mildenhal leaving late this year. Not only that, he got a requal class date that will take away two months of his time in the CRW. Some guys get all the luck. [email protected]

TSgt Jayson Brady: Jayson is still working in the Affiliation shop and (rumor has it) should be getting his parole from the CRW in the very near future. He can currently can be found at the Tyndall NCOA harassing the instructors (when not ditching class to chase high school girls and BP oil spills on the Gulf’s white sandy beaches). [email protected]

TSgt Zachary Fleming: Zach is in year number 2 at the CRW but will get his walking papers early to attend OTS in January 2011. He had a ton of fun being a boom and claims he will never forget his enlisted roots when he transition to the dark side. Zach had a great time in the 6th ARS and the 60th FTU. He hopes to keep in touch with all his fellow boomers. [email protected]

TSgt Roy Galloway: Roy got his release from the Wing Ops Center and didn’t look back. He’s now working in the affiliation office and regularly instructs Army personnel across the globe....in fact, he’s spending so much time with the Army that he has started wearing ACUs. [email protected]

220 (T)Sgt Justin Dixon: With only 1 ORI and a few exercises left Justin has cruised over the hump. Only 6 months left in the CRW and then back to flying! He has definitely learned a lot about how the other side of the AF runs but will be happy to get back to the aircrew world. Justin says “See you all soon.” (Should we let him know that his tour has been extended?) [email protected]

SSgt Brian Gerrard: Brian walked off an airplane from a 6th ARS KC-10 deployment to Al Dhafra, started inprocessing the base, outprocessing the squadron, and inprocessing the CRW at the same time. He got quickly up to speed on Affiliation & RAMPCO and is currently deployed for 4 months to Afghanistan. Brian was also featured in an interview on the local Oakland news. He missed flying the boom around so he started taking private pilot lessons so he could still fly and will be finishing up as soon as he gets back. [email protected]

SSgt Jack Hester: Jack is about halfway through his tour in the CRW. Though he has seen some really cool stuff that he would not normally see, he really misses flying as a crew dog (tears streaming down his face). [email protected]

SSgt Willie Morton: This KC-10 boom was so distraught that he didn’t get to use NVGs like the 135 guys that he demanded to be sent to NVG instructor school. Well, he got his way and can be found these days driving around after dark in an M-1008 pickup chasing rabbits around the old Travis Aero Club. [email protected]

SSgt Brooklynne Mosley: Brooklynne survived over G-ing a KC-10 and all she got was an investigation, non-vol'd to the CRW and this paragraph. She’s convinced that she finally got sent to the land where they love exercises and hate fat people (look around Miss Mosley, that’s the entire Air Force). Before she was sent, she had the most HILARIOUS conversation of her life: "Well since the CRW is something ALL BOOMS must do, how did you enjoy your time in the CRW, AMOS or TALCE, Senior?" (Insert Crickets chirping here). If you are confused, the hypocrisy is the funny part. She thinks whoever said “don't count the days, make the days count” was an %$!%*... As of 17 May, she has 1200 days until sweet freedom! [email protected]

SSgt Ryan Thomas: Ryan is still lost in the CRW and has no idea which way is up. His two kids look eerily like the UPS man. But he believes they are the Schwan man’s. Ryan spends so much time in San Francisco we are waiting to see a rainbow sticker on his car. (OK Ryan, you told, but we’re still not askin’) [email protected]

601 AIR OPERATIONS CENTER

"AMERICA'S AOC"

Greetings from America’s AOC in sunny Panama City, Florida, otherwise known as a more humid version of hell. And yes, this version of hell did in fact freeze over during this past winter. What few plants and animals that did survive the brutal humid/heat of summer ’09, just couldn’t handle the two weeks of sub-freezing temps here at the beach…except the mosquitoes!

For those who don’t know, the 601st Air Operations Center is responsible for “Homeland Defense” under the umbrella of NORAD/NORTHCOM and AFNORTH. If you’ve flown an O.N.E. mission, you’ve flown for us.

On the Florida Guard side, we are now officially the 101st Air Operations Group (Title 32 “manpool”), but the AOC is officially the 601st AOC (Title 10 mission). If you figure it out, let us know.

2009 ushered in the blurring of lines between Tanker planning and Unique missions reporting (Hurricane Hunters, Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System, aka MAFFS, and Modular Aerial Spray System, aka MASS) as all of us spend more time tracking and reporting Unique missions than scheduling tanker missions. 2010 is shaping up to be “Operation Support Canada” as we’ve spent entirely too much time planning and replanning, fixing and refixing Canadian air operations in support of the Winter Olympics and a few other events. But hey, it’s tanker work, and that keeps us clear of Unique missions, which would make John-Bob proud.

The current players are

TSgt/MSgt/TSgt Shane “The Lawn Shark” Smith: really let those new stripes go to his head…he had them, now he don’t; it’s an ATA thing. You’ll probably hear the story at next year’s ATA. Shane got accepted to the Nursing program at the local college, and started his own lawn care business (which is BOOMing even in the poor economy), so he’ll be leaving the confines of the AOC, except on drill weekends. He’s pretty excited about being a “Gaylord Fokker;” apparently he heard he can do all the Colonoscopies available, and then some.

TSgt J. Luke “Hives” Mullins: has recently become, for seemingly no reason, allergic to EVERYTHING. He swears it was the H1N1 shot, but we think its Gaylord’s latex, um, gloves… He’s also become quite the domesticated “House husband” since his wife has gone back to school. Most evenings he can be found cooking, cleaning, and taking the girls to soccer practice. Soon he’ll be trading in the truck for a cute minivan with a soccer magnate on the back…

222 Arriving Members

SSgt Ryan “Seacrest” Seifert: hasn’t even arrived yet and already our Boss lady has a pet name for him. He is coming from AD at Grande el Forko to the FLANG. Ryan was hired as a DSG (Drill Status Guardsman or traditional Guardsman for you AD types), and will have the opportunity to slide into Shane’s AGR (Active Guard/Reserve or active duty Guardsman for you AD types) if he wants it…what a freakin’ deal!

Departing members

MSgt John-Bob Williams: was our NCOIC before finding “greener” pastures out at Edwards AFB. He really is “Okie trailer trash,” as he bought a travel trailer to live in while out there, because he’s keeping his house here (it doesn’t have wheels). Apparently, he was so happy to go flying again that he left outta here and forgot his wife…he did come back for her a couple months later, though. John will be missed greatly by the remaining members of the enlisted contingent. Hope to see you again trolling the isles of the new Super Walmart when you retire! We got your “KISS” mask waiting for ya…

And until the next edition of the Signal, fly safe and never forget…9/11

224 WICHITA, KS

BOEING – INTEGRATED DEFENSE SYSTEMS

WICHITA MODIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Greetings from the Air Capital!

Still keeping busy! We have finished the delivery of the Japan tankers as well as training of JASDF Boom Operators. We deployed one tanker to Italy for some customer trials refueling the Tornado, Euro Fighter, MB-339 and C-130J during the trip. The Italy aircraft are currently being prepared for delivery. Finally, we are working hard on Boeing’s response to the latest UASF RFP to provide the best solution to the requirements.

Rickey “Grand Poobah” Kahler: Boeing Chief Boom Operator. PAPAW, as his grand kids call him, still has more contacts on GTTA than the rest of us combined (stick hog). Rickey is doing well despite his advancing age!

Dennis “I’m Huge in Japan” Struve: Still a Reservist Boom Operator, got married last fall and has been working hard on his MBA which he just recently completed. If he had it his way the New Gen Boom would be John Deere Green.

Sean “Dragolosopher” Martin: As a Reservist, Sean is the current Command Chief of the 931st ARG. Chief Martin’s Boeing motto is “whatever the program needs” and as a result has been traveling a lot to fill those needs. Sean and Donna are doing well, much to their surprise enjoy mid- western living.

Jon “Phil the Real” Deal: After seven years of living in the mid-west, he still watches The Weather Channel like it’s an SEC football game – VORTEX 2 – waiting for the big one!! Phil’s working on his MBA from Liberty University and enjoying time with his wife, Jamie, and 5 year-old daughter, Parke. They’re also in the process of adopting a little boy from Nepal.

Larry “Contractor” Watson: Larry still returns from time to time to help us out and stay proficient. The “Ponderosa” is still going strong with a longer than ever honey do list and some new very expensive additions thanks to all that contractor money. Rumor has it the Cherokee has seen its fair share of flying time, too.

225 Paul “Maverick” Pillar: OK, let's see...Left being the lead test conductor for the KC-767 GTTA program and am now the lead test conductor for the Phantom Eye in St Louis; this puts me close to my son, Matthew. Still have the '66 Fastback, the bike, and been flying about once a week in a -172 out of the local airport for $100 hamburgers. Still teaching for ERAU to support my flying habit. That's about it.

226 WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, OH

AMC TEST & EVALUATION SQ

SMSgt Don Breitkreutz: Still the only Active Duty Boom Operator in the land of engineers and pocket protectors. I have been highly involved in the KC-X process since arriving on station and it is only gaining momentum. I have located a few good fishing spots and saved the pay raise as I inherited a boat even though there is no such thing as a free boat. Hopefully at print time next year the officially named new tanker will be well into the test phase.

227 AL UDEID AB, QATAR

340 EXPEDITIONARY ARS

Greetings from the pointy end. For many of you, thanks for your deployment with us this year. We’ll see you again real soon.

When Frank Sinatra sang “Paris in April,” he had obviously never been to Qatar in May. From sun- drenched morning runs in your favorite set of PT gear to moonlit nights of sober karaoke at the BRA, Qatar has everything that boom operators love. (Exceptions: Cold six-packs, porno mags, hydraulic training films, sex and black Def Leppard T-shirts)

We’ve had another banner year here at Al Udeid providing a majority of the gas for OIF, OEF and HOA. As the largest Air Refueling Squadron in the known universe, we fly more than any Air Refueling Wing in the Air Force. An average boom operator here gets 40 O-1 sorties and 300 hours in a 60 day deployment; and usually enough money to keep him in imported beer until his next trip out here.

We’ve had lots of help this year from our total force brethren. Most recently we’ve had McConnell, March and D.C. from the reserve side and Hawaii and Pittsburgh from the guard side. These guys have brought a wealth of experience and a great attitude here to the Dirty Deid. The active duty guys owe them a debt (payable in booze) for reducing some of the deployment pain and pressure.

If you’re ever out here on a good-deal coronet or CAPSTONE, stop by and see us at Caddyshack. We’ll have an ice-cold Gatorade waiting for you and (if it’s Wednesday) steak and lobster dinner is on us.

908 EXPEDITIONARY ARS

THE 908TH EXPEDITIONARY AIR REFUELING SQUADRON (EARS), IS PRESENTLY THE BUSIEST AIR REFUELING UNIT AND THE MOST RELIED UPON KC-10A SQUADRON IN THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. ITS KC-10A CREWS ACTIVELY FLY IN SUPPORT OF OPERATIONS ENDURING, IRAQI FREEDOM AND GWOT MISSIONS OVER UNDISCLOSED COUNTRIES. TO DATE, KC-10A CREWS ACCOUNT FOR OVER 50 PERCENT OF THE AIR REFUELING SUPPORT FOR COMBAT OPERATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES CENTRAL COMMAND AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. IN A SIX MONTH SPAN, THERE WERE 2880 TANKER MISSIONS, OFFLOADING AT LEAST 157 MILLION POUNDS OF FUEL TO MORE THAN 12,000 UNITED STATES AND COALITION AIRCRAFT. MANY CREWMEMBERS DEPLOY HERE TWICE A YEAR. THEY GUARANTEE GAS IN THE AOR CONSISTENTLY, SAFELY, & PROFESSIONALLY.

CHIEF BOOM – MSGT SAKSEN “RIZ” RISSABUTE : Presently stationed at McGuire AFB NJ as one of 2 OGV booms. Enjoys hacking the golf course up and riding a crotch rocket GSXR-750 when not giving “ pac channel checkrides”. Keeps busy trying to knock out some schoolin in the last years before retirement. He has a dream .. to one day beat Tiger Woods…. Yeah right !!! Keep drinkin that Mai Tai.

A1C Andrew” Piache” Peace: Brand new MB from the 9th ARS at Travis. Now living the dream in the land of the sand. Still dreams of catching biggunz Noodling back in Kentucky. Mentored by a senile old FE named Birry “shave my back “ Stevens.

SSgt James Cain: Still stationed at Travis in the Mighty 6th! Currently the NCIOC of Boom Training and jumping out of planes every weekend with his wife(not while deployed though). Looking forward to completing the 6yr gate so he can go to the USAFA and toss cadets out planes!!!

SrA Thomas Krohn: Stationed at McGuire as part of the 2nd ARS. Currently keeping out of trouble, looking forward to the end of another deployment and testing for Staff. (Yes I agree, that’s just scary).

SSgt Josh Gorring: Still serving life sentence at McGuire prison. Fortunate enough to be instructing new inmates, hoping for early parole. Rewarded with sixth trip to the sandbox for good behavior. Still planning on serving a life sentence, but prays for transfer to a new compound.

TSgt Alfonso Duenez: Came out of hiding from Wing Plans and as a welcome back to the mighty 6th ARS, the squadron deployed him back to the desert a day after he inprocessed. Can’t make up his mind on what’s more fun to fly , the KC-10 or his wife’s new Camaro. Welcome back Alf!

229 A1C Curtis Clawson: 1st of many deployments out of McGuire, very happy to call the 2nd ARS my home, trying to gain some experience and hours all while not listening to the active duty haters. Hopefully I get another great crew next time around. In summary, I love being a boom operator.

SSgt Pavel Del Monte: currently on his 6th deployment to Dhafra. When he is not flying, he stays busy competing against for the title of the Toughest GUY in The AOR. SSGT Del Monte is currently in the lead with SSgt Brundage & Martz tied for second place.

A1C Kenneth L. Barber: 1st Deployment down and still moving. Stationed at Travis AFB in California with the mighty 6 ARS. He’s working hard to quickly finish his CCAF then his bachelor’s then his masters then the world. In his own words, “I came, I saw, I extended…”

SrA Fritz Thompson: joins the Desert bunch for his 4th deployment. Currently works at 9th ARS’ Ops Center scheduling crewmembers for good deals, bad deals and no deals- just do it BS! Still single and stalking, looking forward to some leave time back to Ohio for summer.

SSgt Justin Brundage: stays busy maintaining his status as the toughest guy in the AOR. He is still stationed at Travis in the 9th ARS and is finishing up his time in Stan Eval and heading to FTU shortly. When he’s not beating up booms from 6th ARS you can find him in Lake Tahoe or at the In- n-Out Burger drive thru.

SrA Matt James: is now deployed again for a fourth wonderful time to Al Dhafra. He is currently stationed at Travis in the 9th and is the best looking guy there and in the 908th, by far. He has been a qualified Boom for nearly two years and will be testing for Staff Sergeant upon his return from this deployment. He greatly enjoys driving and motorcycle riding and takes pride in running.

SSgt Steven Porter: is outta FTU less than a year and already on his 2nd tour out here, working towards that shout tour and is now halfway there. Only thing he really misses back home are his CBR 954RR and 1000RR, if he could bring them out here with him he’d probably never go back…

SSgt Jonathan Farmer: (AKA Farmer-Jon) is enjoying his first deployment ever, even though he has been in the AF for nearly six years now. Somehow he slipped through the cracks as an avionic technician for over five years before cross-training into the best career field in the AF. (Though we are all sure he will more than make up for that as a Boomer.) He is looking forward to going back home to his wife and four children as well as pinning on TSgt at cruise altitude July 1st, 2010 having been in the Air Force for a grand total of 6yrs, 6mos, and 27days.

SrA Johan Karpf: is back in style for the umpteenth time. Living large now that he is a brand new 2 ARS IB. Misses his wife and smiling at everything as always. You can usually find him smoking cigars at the smoke pit with some lonely Co-rocket.

SSgt Klexton Jett: is out here thus again. Think it’s his 8th deployment since getting out of FTU. Trying to knock out some college classes, put time into makin Tech, and keepin his eyes out on that next generation of Yamaha R1’s his wife will let him have. Georgia here he come …..

SrA Durham: is our resident Chinese speakin fitness war hero. This guy is a exercise fitness pheonom. Someone said he ran 76 miles in 1 day just because he felt like running. Go Forest Go ! He seems like he enjoys his time no matter where he is at. Good guy.

230 SSgt Dan the Man Fortier: is out on his 2nd 30 day Reserve deployment. Misses his Harley wide glide and those open Cali roads. No dirt bike action here either. Claims no wife or kidz unless he’s filing taxes. Workin hard .. okay not really when back home in the 70th ARS.

TSgt “Marvelous” Marv Pearson: leading the youngsters to the DFAC and Smoke pits. Comes to us again and again from the 32 ARS at McGuire. Currently works as Flight Chief and resident CRG expert since he spent 2 tours there. Still has that same signature black n mild cigarette that never gets lit in his mouth.

SrA Alex Nelson: is another 32 ARS young buck. Married and lving on base so he could spend mo money mo money. All these deployments have made him rich …..not! Just makes him closer to 1000 hrs. He enjoys riding motorcycles and talking about bikes, even though he currently doesn’t own one. This is his 2nd deployment.

SrA Melissa King: just arrived again. She is a 2 ARS prodigy. She is one hard workin gal and keeps a pretty low key. This is her 2nd deployment. Watch out for this one, she is going places.

A1C Aaron “the silent” Siegler: is on the prowl here in Dhafra again. He keeps busy trying to perfect that SrA BTZ image. Looking to finish his CDC’s, do some volunteering and crush that PT score. Voted the nicest guy in the 32nd this year.

Many Booms that frequent Al Dhafra over the past year did not get a chance to add to this list. They may be found at the Travis or McGuire Unit Signals.

231 MANAS AB, KYRGYSTAN

376 EXPEDITIONARY ARS

Greetings from the Transit Center at Manas or what the 376th AEW Commander calls “the best bed and breakfast in the AOR.” It has been quite the ride over the past few months at the Transit Center with a great deal of snow and the deadly civil uprising off base. However, things have returned to “normal” and Boom Operators here are doing a phenomenal job, whether in the air or on the ground. Additionally, many Booms spend their limited down time volunteering to provide humanitarian assistance for countless shelters and orphanages that are in disrepair. There is an outstanding mix of Active, Guard, and Reserve Booms that rotate through weekly, giving everyone an opportunity to discover how others do business, both deployed and at home.

MSgt Mike Webster soon to be replaced by MSgt Geoff Potter, is doing a tremendous job as the 22 EARS Superintendent/First Sergeant. He can be seen at the end of each week herding first-time and returning cats around the squadron and Transit Center.

Permanent party personnel share the Transit Center with 2500+ coalition Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines that rotate in/out on a daily basis. Last month we saw 50,000 personnel come through the Center with no relief in sight; patience is certainly a virtue/must when at max capacity.

My time here is also coming to an end as I will be replaced by SMSgt Jeff Sidles at the end of May. Manas has been a great experience and a welcome change from the standard tanker deployment locales. Operations here are certainly making a difference on numerous fronts and will hopefully continue to evolve as political uncertainty looms.

241

BOOM OPERATOR'S ASSOCIATION COIN/CARD RULES

1. Rules of the Boom Coin/Card challenge must be explained to all new Coin/Card holders.

2. If a Boom Operator has never received a Coin/Card, then they cannot be expected to adhere to the challenge rules. This burden of proof is placed on the individual challenged.

3. The Boom Coin & Boom Card are interchangeable.

4. The Coin/Card will not be defaced (i.e., drilling, machining, etc.).

5. A n individual can be challenged anytime, anywhere. Y ou must produce a Boom Coin/Boom Card within 15-seconds of being challenged.

6. When challenging, the individual must state whether the challenge is for a single drink or for a round of drinks.

7. F ailure to produce a Boom Coin/Boom Card when challenged, or within the time limit results in the challenged i ndividual b uying a dr ink or round of dr inks. If a ll t hose t hat a re c hallenged pr oduce a Card/Coin then the challenger is obligated to buy a drink or a round of drinks. Once the challenged has bought, you cannot continue to challenge that individual.

8. U nder no c ircumstances can a Boom Coin/Card be handed to another individual. T his is considered giving it a way. Y ou must barter with t hat person t o regain pos session of your C oin/Card.

BOOM PATCH HISTORY

CoE HISTORY and KC-135 SPECKLED TROUT TRAINER

AETC BOWST

243 BOOM PATCH HISTORY

In an effort to find information regarding our Boom Patch History, I was surprised at the fact that there is little known about it, and there are numerous people who claim to have “been the one” to design, gain approval for, and field our original Boom Patches. (the Union Pacific type Shield & the Tiger holding a boom with the bulldog and holding a gas can)

To prevent publishing unsubstantiated information, and to stave off receiving untold numbers of emails protesting and contradicting anything published, I will include the only solid email response I’ve received over the last few months regarding this subject. However, I’d like to make a request and challenge to our readers. In order to find out some history, I challenge you to help solve the mystery. For next year’s Signal, the 2011 Edition, let’s find out the real story behind our Boom Operator Patch. We have a whole calendar year to research this issue and provide information to the new Editor, MSgt Ernest Burns. But for now, here is the response I’ve received…

9 May 2010:

The patch you’re asking about believe it or not was in fact designed by me, while attending Boom School in late 1974. I got the idea as I told Cory when we worked together at the KC-10 Training Facility at Travis. Happened to be reading a TIME or NEWSWEEK magazine and saw a picture of the ENCO Tiger with a black hose wrapped around its body. Thought it would make a great Class Patch, but to spice it up asked a Graphics Artist at the 4017 CCTS to throw in the Gunner Dog in front, and put a BOOM in its place. I know the significance of the Tiger from my maintenance days as an IFR specialist. In fact, there is a good chance we crossed paths (MX Debrief) during YOUNG TIGER days. I was stationed at U-TAPO, KADENA, CCK with a provisional unit during the Vietnam era. When I rotated back I was transferred from Mather to Wurtsmith, where Bill Barber who I flew with as a MX specialist in CCK talked me into cross-training. Hence the story goes from there. I have no reservations laying claim to this piece of history and was glad somebody took the time to ask. Not sure if I have to justify myself but if you get someone who steps up-I'd be willing to challenge. Only people I could think would be my fellow classmates during that time frame. I do have on person that was there when it was being drawn by the graphics artist. MSgt Lee Evans retired. (few other folks names if you need them) Who just happens to work with me at Travis, where I'm currently the Flight Check Airman for the Boom Operators on the KC-10 ATS. Still the in the AR business after 40 years !!! Feel free to give me a shout if you need any more history or back ground. To be perfectly honest and probably sounds odd but sure feels good to finally get recognition

244 on what some might have thought a small jester. But the patch has followed me all these years and still tell the students where it came from and makes me feel kind of good inside!! THANKS for asking!!!

The following photo was provided via Facebook, Boom Operators Group, by John Rytkonen. He states that this patch was the original Boom Operator patch. From my earlier research, it was developed as a Student Class Patch. But that they could not obtain approval from Peanuts creator Charles Schultz to use the image of Snoopy and/or the Red Baron as depicted. Thanks John for furthering this history project! The Editor

245 Career Enlisted Aviator Center of Excellence

Senior career enlisted aviators had championed the idea of a Career Enlisted Aviator Center of Excellence (CEA-COE) in one form or another since 1999. It became a reality in 2006. It began as a way to consolidate career enlisted aviator initial skills training. The concept expanded from moving the Enlisted Aircrew Undergraduate Course (EAUC) from Sheppard AFB to Lackland AFB and into the CEA-COE. Seven of eight enlisted aircrew AFSC training courses relocated to Lackland AFB Medina Annex. (The 1A8 Linguist course at Goodfellow AFB was the only exception). Three courses moved in 2006: 1A4 Airborne Battle Management Systems in April and 1A3 Airborne Communications Systems, which combined with the 1A5 Airborne Mission Systems career field in October 2005, and 1A6 Flight Attendant in October. The 1A1xxB Helicopter Flight Engineer (FE) at Kirtland AFB consolidated with the A1AxxC Fixed Wing FE at Altus in October 2006 and relocated as 1A1 Flight Engineer in April 2007. The 1A0 Inflight Refueling (Boom) Operator moved in April 2007 followed by the 1A7 Aerial Gunner in July and the 1A2 Loadmaster in October. Consolidation of the various courses at the Medina Annex lowered manpower requirements for instructors, course developers, and administrative support, breaks in training, travel costs, and redundant training. Furthermore, it eliminated 14 training days for students awaiting training, providing an estimated savings of some 13,900 training days and $3.44 million through FY08. Furthermore, it reduced the amount of time taken to re-train students in the basics, because of knowledge lost during breaks in training. The overall cost for the startup of the COE was under $1.5 million, some $3.25 million less than original estimated. Enlisted aviators were pleased to meet their goal of improving enlisted aircrew training.

246 Speckled Trout Reeled In To New Home

By Mike Joseph, 37 TRW Public Affairs (Published 20 Feb 2009, AFLink)

Lackland AFB, Texas (AFNS) – A Boeing KC-135, “Speckled Trout”, which served as the personal aircraft of every Air Force Chief of Staff since 1975, was moved from Kelly Field Annex, Texas, to its new home at the Lackland Training Annex here Feb. 15.

The move culminated a process that began after the historic aircraft arrived at Lackland this past June from Edwards Air Force Base, California. The plane was originally bound for the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, commonly known as “The Boneyard”, in Arizona before being transferred to the 344th Training Squadron here. “It went wonderfully,” said Master Sergeant Stacy Vaughan, 344 TRS, who coordinated the move. “It took a little longer, about an hour and a half, than we expected but there were few snags if any. We’re real happy to have it.”

The plane, part of a fleet that was put into service in the late 1950s, will be used for training. Lt Col Marc Caudill’s excitement when discussing the training possibilities was obvious. “What an investment to the taxpayer when you think about how we brought this aircraft from its deathbed and now we’re going to use it indefinitely as a premier trainer for these career enlisted aviators,” said Lt Col Caudill, 344 TRS commander.

Routes had to be planned and logistics considered before the contractor, Worldwide Recovery of Omaha, Nebraska, could obtain the necessary permits from the City of San Antonio to move the plane down city streets from Kelly to the training annex. Airmen from the 37th Civil Engineering Squadron and security forces were also involved in the process. A section of fence at Kelly had to be taken down to tuck the fuselage onto Military Drive. It then proceeded down Old Pearsall Road, along the access road of Loop 410, across an overpass above Interstate 410 and on to the annex, drawing a crowd along the way on Feb. 15.

“We had quite a trail of people following us, “Sergeant Vaughan said. “People were taking pictures of it with their cell phones.” Prior to the move, workers from Worldwide Recovery removed the engines, wings and tail section for the body of the aircraft to be moved. It took approximately two weeks to disassemble the plane, with the same time required to put it back together once the fuselage reached its destination behind the 344 TRS. “In order to transport from Kelly to Medina Training Annex, our contractor was going to have to disassemble it,” Lt Col Caudill said. “That’s painful to watch because it’s a beautiful, pristine aircraft.”

Four courses will benefit from the aircraft being at the training complex. Boom Operators, Airborne Mission Specialists, Air Force Flight Attendants and Loadmasters will receive practical training in addition to emergency procedures and evacuations. Lt Col Caudill said the benefits of hands-on, onboard training are unbelievable, and take the courses to another level.

KC-135 & KC-10 LOSSES ARTICLE

BY CHRIS HOCTOR, MSGT USAF (RET.)

259

Fellow Booms…This list of tanker mishaps is not meant to be an indelicate description of the tradgedies and loss of life in these incidents. It was originally put together at Embry Riddle for a Safety Course assignment. Today is serves as a reminder that the Air Refueling business is a serious one, that every one of our Cautions and Warnings are written out of an incident with a cost as high as several lives. It is especially important for those that joined the ranks of tanker aircrews within the last ten years – as it has been the longest period in tanker history free of major mishaps.

Since writing this article, I have received several emails about the incidents here that individual people remember. It has been perhaps therapeutic to share the stories of how these tragedies affected their lives. I am grateful to those people, and welcome any more.

I pray you will continue to fly safe, speak up when something wrong is happening and remember those that lost their lives to keep us safe!

Respectfully,

Chris Hoctor Olim Boomum, Semper Boomer (Once a Boom, Always a Boom)

261 KC-135 / KC-10 Losses As of 21 September 2009

The story of aircraft losses in the tanker business is sobering, and many of these accidents are still fresh in the minds of the loved ones they left behind. Each incident goes through a thorough investigation, and the overall story reveals that the lessons learned created an evolution in training, in procedures, in system upgrades, and in risk management. Fortunately this has led to improved safety records over time, but one cannot ignore the overall record of 77 KC-135‟s (including some variant models) destroyed – about 9.5% of the entire fleet manufactured. This does not include the many that have been permanently grounded for exceeding its serviceability. 646 people lost their lives in the aircraft or on the ground at the accident scene. Of the 803 C-135‟s and their variant models produced, 506 are still flying; 481 in the U.S., France still has 14 of their 15, Singapore has 4, and Turkey has 7. While there have been a number of „Class A‟ incidents on the KC-10, mostly engine damage, only one KC-10 of the 60 produced was destroyed, by fire on the ground (1.5% lost).

The following incidents all led to the total loss of the aircraft, with the exception of 3; the incidents of 17 June 1970, 9 February 1974, and November 1988. One curious fact is that only about 5 of these missions lost could be attributed to direct support of the war in Vietnam, all accidents, and not a single tanker has ever been destroyed by enemy forces. Even though the current pace of flying in the Global War on Terror rivals the Vietnam era, the valuable lessons learned from these horrific losses is probably the reason for zero aircraft or lives lost in over 10 years.

This data was collected from the internet website of The Aviation Safety Network (a service of the Flight Safety Foundation), as downloaded with permission on 21 September 2009; (http://aviation- safety.net). Some details are from witnesses, and the author‟s personal knowledge of the events.

Each of the following -135‟s came off the KC-135 assembly line. A few of them were subsequently modified later to a new Make and Series

262 (i.e. RC-135S, C-135E, etc), and some of the variant models actually came off the assembly line as their own Make, Design, Series (MDS). This list does not distinguish which were modified before or after.

5 June – RC-135E "Rivet Amber" was at that time the most sophisticated reconnaissance plane of the US Air Force. It was converted to this configuration in 1963 to fly reconnaissance missions against the Soviet re-entry range off the Kamchatka Peninsula. On June 5, 1969, Rivet Amber departed Shemya for a flight to Fairbanks for routine maintenance. About thirty minutes after departing Shemya, Rivet Amber (callsign Irene 92) transmitted the following message to Elmendorf AFB: "Elmendorf Airways, Irene 92 experiencing vibration in flight. Not certain of the emergency. We have the aircraft under control, Irene 92." This was the last radio contact

269 with the flight. Unidentified microphone keying clicks continued until 10:22. The aircraft crashed at sea, 19 people lost.

19 December – Ching Chuan Kang AB (Taiwan), KC-135, 56-3629, Crashed during climb out due to extremely low level windshear. All 4 crew killed.

1970

6 April – McConnell AFB KC-135, 62-3535. The Flight Safety Foundation simply reports this as “tested to destruction”. There were no casualties.

3 June – KC-135, 58-0039. Near Torrejon AB, Spain. Crashed following in-flight explosion of the number 1 main fuel tank. Chafing of boost pump wires in conduits was determined to be as a possible ignition source. All 5 onboard killed.

17 June – Lockheed SR-71A collides with KC-135Q tanker 20 miles East of El Paso, New Mexico. Pilot Buddy Brown and RSO Mort Jarvis eject safely. Tanker limps back to Beale Air Force Base, California, and is restored to service.

1971

13 June – This C-135, 61-0331, was used to monitor French atmospheric nuclear tests in the Pacific and disappeared after one such test. All 24 onboard were lost.

1972

13 March – Carswell AFB, KC-135, 58-0048, During landing, the right wingtip struck the ground and the airplane crashed and exploded. The 5 crew onboard perished.

1973

8 March – During a practice alert at Lockbourne AFB, two KC-135 Stratotankers (63-7989 and 63-7980) taxied from an unlit ramp towards the runway. Both aircraft collided while maneuvering off the ramp. Stratotanker 63-7989 continued 200 yards before coming to a stop in a muddy, grassy section just off the concrete apron. Flames engulfed the tanker from the cockpit to the mid-section and burned two large holes in the plane. 2 of the 5 occupants were killed. 63-7980 was restored to service.

1974

9 February: A United States Air Force North American T-39A Sabreliner, returning to McClellan AFB, California collides with a USAF Boeing NKC-135A Stratotanker at 23,000 feet over Peterson Field, Colorado, killing all seven on board the T-39. Sabreliner had experienced landing gear trouble, rendezvoused with NKC-135 for look- over, accidentally strikes rear fuselage and fin of Boeing. NKC-135 lands safely, was en route from Seattle, Washington to Kirtland AFB, New Mexico.

5 March – A USAF Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker, 57-1500, of the 91st Air Refueling Squadron, 384th Air Refueling Wing, crashed and burned shortly after take-off from McConnell AFB, Kansas, killing two of seven crew. Air Force spokesmen reported that the aircraft was carrying 136,000 pounds of fuel when it crashed 3,000 feet from the main runway, after it apparently lost power.

5 March – A USAF Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker of the 7th Air Refuelling Squadron, 7th Bomb Wing, en route from Eielson AFB, Alaska to its homebase at Carswell AFB, Texas, suffered explosive decompression when a small window blew out at 35,000 feet at 1630 hrs. EST about 40 miles SE of Fort Nelson, British Columbia. One passenger of the 25 aboard died from the effects of the rapid decompression; others and eight crew okay. The tanker made an

271 emergency landing at a Canadian Armed Forces Base at Edmonton, Alberta. The aircraft was written off as destroyed.

1975

7 December – Neir Eielson AFB, Alaska, KC-135, 60-0354. Crashed on a frozen lake following landing gear problems. All four crew members were killed in the accident.

1976

6 February – KC-135, 60-0368. Seven crew flying from Mildenhall to Torrejon crashed into a mountain near Cabanillas, Spain. No survivors.

26 September – KC-135, 61-0296, Departed KI Sawyer AFB. Crash- landed in rugged terrain. The airplane broke up and ended up in a swamp. Possible cabin pressurization problem. 5 of the 20 onboard survive.

1977

4 March – KC-135 62-3522 from Griffiss had a engine explosion during ground engine maintenance run. Aircraft lost, no injuries.

28 April – The KC-135A 58-0101, was practicing night takeoffs and landings at Beale AFB. During that time cattle strayed through a broken fence from a nearby field and on to the main runway. During one of the touch-and-goes, the airplane struck five or six cattle. Takeoff was aborted and the plane overran the runway and caught fire. All 7 escaped before the plane was destroyed.

14 September – KC-135 62-3536. After departing Kirtland AFB, NM, crashed in steep terrain, about 8,500 feet up the Manzano Mountain range. All 20 aboard killed.

1979

272 19 September – KC-135, 58-0127, the 5 occupants on a training flight at Castle AFB were killed during a landing.

1980

2 January – An EC-135, 58-0007, burned out on ground due to electrical short in the water injection tank heater wiring. Aircraft destroyed, no injuries.

8 February – during ground refueling operations this KC-135Q, 60- 0338, burned out on ramp following an explosion of the aft body fuel tank. A faulty fuel probe was found to be the cause of the explosion. Aircraft destroyed, no injuries.

1981

15 March – An Eielson RC-135S, 61-2664, struck the ground at night while on final approach to Shemya AFB in marginal conditions (turbulence fog, blowing snow, and sleet). 6 of the 24 occupants were killed.

6 May - EC-135N aircraft 61-0328, call sign AGAR 23, was scheduled for an Advanced Range Instrumented Aircraft (ARIA) training mission out of Wright-Patterson AFB. The mission was designed provide training for the navigator and primary mission electronic equipment (PMEE) operators. On board the aircraft were 17 crewmembers and four authorized passengers. AGAR 23 departed at 10:05 and climbed to FL290, which was reached at 10:30. The aircraft commander occupied the right pilot seat and a passenger, his wife, occupied the left pilot seat. For undetermined reasons, the aircraft pitch trim moved to the full nose-down position. The autopilot can overcome the trim until near full nose-down. The aircraft then rapidly pitched over, most likely upon release of the autopilot, and induced sufficient negative g forces to cause the generators to trip off line and loss of all AC electrical power. The pitch trim could not then be moved electrically. This condition, while unusual, can be easily controlled if prompt corrective action is taken; however, if corrective action is delayed approximately 8 sec., the aircraft

273 pitch angle will be greater than 30 deg. nose-down and the airspeed in excess of 350 KIAS. Under these conditions, the aircraft cannot be controlled until the pitch trim is moved toward neutral. While it is clear that recovery was delayed, the reason for the delay is unknown. The aircraft became uncontrollable and entered a steep descent. The aircraft emerged from the clouds at 2,000 ft. AGL. Airspeed was in excess of 400 KTAS and dive angle was 20 to 30 deg. Engine power was above 2.0 EPR. At approximately 1,500 ft. MSL an explosion occurred inside the pressurized compartment of the fuselage and weakened the aircraft structure to the extent that catastrophic failure of the aircraft followed immediately. All 21 aboard were killed. A memorial has been built at Walkersville Heritage Farm Park.

1982

13 March – The KC-135, 57-1489, was on an IFR flight plan and was returning to Luke AFB. The crew was carrying out a TACAN runway 3L approach. At the same time a Grumman-American AA-1 Yankee (N6160L) was in the area. The airplane had just departed from Phoenix-Sky Harbor Airport and was flying in a special traffic area where he was requested to be at or below 2000 feet. The AA-1 however, flew at 2500 feet skimming along the cloud base. The KC-135 descended through the cloud deck and collided with the AA-1. The empennage of the KC-135A separated. Control was lost and the airplane crashed inverted. The AA-1 crashed as well. All 4 in the tanker and the 2 occupants of the AA1 were killed.

19 March – The airplane, a KC-135, 58-0031, crashed following an on board explosion which occurred at FL137. A fuel pump was probably allowed to run dry, causing it to become overheated and ignite fuel vapors. All 4 crew, and 27 of 28 passengers were killed.

1985

25 February – After departing Eielson AFB, an RC-135T, known to some tanker crews as a KC-135D, 55-3121, struck a mountain in poor weather. The 3 on board were killed. The wreckage was quickly hidden

274 by snowstorms and was not located until discovered by a P-33 crew on August 2, 1985.

27 Aug – KC-135, 59-1443, During an approach, the instructor pilot allowed the co-pilot to land during an unstable approach. The #1 engine contacted the runway resulting in an engine fire. The crew continued the touch and go and began checklists for engine fire in flight. The instructor pilot failed to maintain control and the aircraft stalled, rolled to the left and crashed. All 7 crew dead.

1986

17 June – The KC-135, 63-7983, hit the runway at Howard AFB, Panama, became airborne again and crashed into a hill in the jungle. All 4 on board killed.

1987

13 February – The Altus KC-135 Stratotanker, 60-0330, caught fire during landing rollout and burned out. At the time of the explosion the copilot was making a radio transmission using the UHF radio. The UHF wire which runs near the aft wing root in the fuselage was melted due to an electrical fault. Fuel vapors in the area of the aft body tank were ignited. There were severe burn injuries and other injuries sustained while exiting the burning aircraft while it was still rolling.

13 March - A U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker, 60-0361, crashes at Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane County, while rehearsing maneuvers for an air show, killing six airmen and a spectator. The accident occurs just after takeoff when the large aircraft accidentally runs through the wake turbulence of the B-52 Stratofortress with which it was practicing. Upon encountering wake turbulence, the aircraft performed an uncommanded 80 degree roll to left, stalling engines 1 and 2. The crew recovered to a wings level attitude however they were too low to recover and the aircraft and crash landed in open area next to base operations. She slid through a fence, continued through open field before impacting a weather radar tower which split open the fuselage at the wing root.

275 The tragic event marks the inauspicious introduction of a bomber- tanker demonstration team known briefly as the Thunderhawks; the Strategic Air Command‟s answer to the Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy Blue Angels aerobatics teams. To add to the tragedy, the spectator that was killed was a crewmember that was scheduled to be onboard, but was too ill to fly. He was driving home and stopped to watch the aircraft demo when the plane crashed through the fence near his car.

17 September – A Barksdale AFB KC-10, 82-0190, was lost after an explosion caused by a spark igniting fuel vapors in the center accessory compartment. The subsequent fire destroyed the aircraft and killed one member of the ground crew trapped in the aft fuselage. The tanker was undergoing routine maintenance.

1988

11 October – A Wurtsmith KC-135, 60-0317, with 17 occupants, 6 are killed when it crashed on approach.

November – A Reservist Boom Operator dies in-flight when the overhead sighting window breaks away from the aircraft. His was the only fatality, and the aircraft made an emergency landing without further incident. As a result of this tragedy the entire fleet of -135‟s was refitted with a sheet-metal replacement of the overhead sighting windows.

1989

276

31 January – The water-injection system of this KC-135, 63-7990, failed during takeoff from Dyess AFB (DYS) runway 16. The airplane barely climbed and the wing clipped a house before the plane crashed. The 19 people of the Stratotanker included spouses of military members, retired military members and one child. They were on a non-stop flight to Hawaii with an en route F-16 refueling mission.

20 September – KC-135, 57-1481, at Eielson AFB. While shutting down the engines, an explosion occurred due to an overheated fuel pump. 2 of the 5 occupants were killed.

4 October – KC-135 56-3592, crashed near Carlingford, NB (Canada) en-route to Loring AFB. A fuel pump ran dry and ignited fuel vapours after becoming overheated. The aircraft crashed. All four crew were killed. Because this was the 5th such occurrence crews must now keep 3000 lb of fuel in the tank to prevent overheating.

1990

11 January – Pease AFB, KC-135 59-1494. Two maintenance workers were doing maintenance work on the fuel cells inside the KC-135 tanker when a fire broke out. Both engineers escaped.

277

1992

29 May – The EC-135J, 62-3584, landed long at Pope AFB and overshot the runway, causing the undercarriage to collapse. The fuselage broke in two. The remains were moved to Davis Monthan AFB, AZ. All 14 occupants escaped.

1993

10 December - The KC-135R, 57-1470, had minor electrical and avionics system problems that were being repaired. While repairs were being conducted by ground crew members, an explosion occurred in the centre wing fuel tank. A fire erupted, destroying the plane. The explosion was probably caused by an overheated fuel pump. 6 people were killed. This was the first major accident of the „R‟ model KC-135.

1997

2 September – The EC-135, 63-8053, was heavily damaged in landing; the nose wheel collapsed at Pope AFB. All 11 survived.

1999

278 13 January - A Washington Air National Guard KC- 135E Stratotanker, 59-1452, call sign ESSO 77, returning from an operational aerial refueling mission. The aircraft pitched up to a near vertical attitude and subsequently stalled and crashed short of the runway at Geilenkirchen Air Base, Germany, killing all 4 crew members on board. The aircraft was assigned to the 141st Air Refueling Wing, Fairchild AFB, Washington. The pitch up was the direct result of the horizontal stabilizer trim being in a 7.5 nose-up trim condition when the aircraft was given power to complete a go around prior to landing. The investigation was unable to determine how the stabilizer trim came to be in the 7.5 nose up trim condition.

7 April - A KC-135R Stratotanker, 57-1418, of the 151st Air Refueling Squadron, Tennessee Air National Guard, is written off while undergoing maintenance at the Oklahoma ALC, Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, when the cabin is over-pressurized during a test and ruptures, tearing a 35 foot (10.6 m) hole in the aft fuselage, allowing tail section to drop to the ground.

279

Memorial at Altus AFB, to all the Boom Operators killed in tanker crashes.

The following information was provided via Facebook, Boom Operators Group, by John Rytkonen.

The Schoolhouse wanted ideas for a Boom Operator patch. Steve Oothoudt, created the patch that’s on the Boom Operator coin, but they wouldn't use it because of the Bulldog with the gas can. I did the Snoopy patch and while I was at U-Tapou and I had them make it and sent to you guys. (Barry Lee Evans, Boom Class 75-06)
