In his acceptance speech Trump called on Americans to come together after the divisive campaign season. The New York businessman also pledged to put more Americans to work by rebuilding infrastructure and promised to “finally take care of our great veterans.” Throughout his campaign, Trump said he'd boost the size of the military, including people, ships, and aircraft - though details about how he'd carry out those plans were never specified. He recently released a 10-point plan for VA reform, and he'll face tough decisions about the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), who will serve as his defense secretary, and how he'll lead the armed forces through ongoing personnel and budget cuts. Trump will be joined in office by Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, the father of a Marine officer who's training to become a pilot. Here's what troops can expect from their new commander in chief. People and pay 4 After repeatedly arguing that President Barack Obama's administration had undercut the military, Trump laid out plans in September to: Increase the number of active-duty soldiers to 540,000, up nearly 100,000 troops from the Army's current drawdown plans. Boost the number of Marine Corps battalions to 36 in order to deal with major contingencies. That would add about a dozen battalions to the force Build a Navy that has 350 surface ships and submarines, about a 28-percent bump from today's fleet. Build an Air Force

    COMMANDER’S CORNER: SIMPLE STEPS TO BEING MORE EFFECTIVE - PAGE 3 Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado Thursday, June 18, 2015 Vol. 59 No. 24 Guidon passed as 21st Space Wing changes command By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — Col. Douglas A. Schiess took command of the 21st Space Wing from Brig. Gen. John E. Shaw in a change of command ceremony June 12. Lt. Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, commander, 14th Air Force (Air Forces Strategic) and Joint Functional Component Command for Space, presided over the transfer of command, receiving the guidon from Shaw and passing it to Schiess. “Sir I assume command,” Schiess told Raymond. He set the tone for his command by quoting the sixth President of the United States John Quincy Adams. “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader,” he said. Schiess said he was glad to be back in Colorado Springs and ready to lead and serve in his new position. A mentor once told him the more you talk, the less time you have in command, and Schiess said the clock is ticking. “Getting an opportunity to command is very rare; getting to do it again is awesome. It’s a dream come true,” he said, referring to previ- ous assignments as commander of the 4th Space Operations Squadron at Schriever AFB, Colo. and 45th Operations Group at Cape Canaveral Air (U.S. Air Force photo by Craig Denton) Force Station, Fla.

    Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado Thursday, June 25, 2015 Vol. 59 No. 25 TV chef cooks with Team Pete By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado — In case you were wondering who was cooking at the Peterson Health and Wellness Center June 22 it was TV chef Carla Hall and a group of kids and parents whipping up some amazing food. Hall, co-host of ABC’s “The Chew,” visited Peterson Air Force Base to kick off her Summer United Services Organization tour of Colorado. She worked with 12 young people and their parents, who were drawn from a list of people who signed up for the chance to take part in the intimate setting of the class. She is continuing the tour by visiting Fort Carson and the Air Force Academy. Hall participated in her first USO tour last year because she wanted to give something back to the military. “I think it’s just a way to have a one-on-one exchange with the troops and their families,” Hall said. “It feels so good to actually give back to the people who keep us safe. I walked out the door last year saying, ‘I want to do it again.’” The USO tour setting is certainly different from “The Chew” where Hall works alongside Daphne Oz, Clinton Kelly and celebrity chefs Michael Symon and Mario Batali. On TV, for example, she explained she will have five minutes at most to get her recipe across, while in a smaller class-type situation she can slow down and teach.
