“By recognizing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride month, it delivers the message that the Air Force stands behind its LGBT mem- bers, uniformed and civilian. My hope is for LGBT members to feel comfortable being themselves and they know they are respected and part of the Air Force family. Before arriving at Schriever Air Force Base, I had never been stationed at a base where they celebrated pride month. I appreciate that Schriever has such an inclusive community.”

Every individual should consume at least half of their body weight in ounces of water each day - and this is just for moderate activity.
A 160 pound individual should consume approx. 88 ounces of water each day, U.S. Air Force photo by Dennis Rogers By Airman 1st Class Billy Beattie with an added 10 percent to compensate 50th Operations Support Squadron for Colorado's altitude. SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Many people wear the U.S. Air Force uniform for very different reasons; whether it is to follow in the footsteps of their parents or family members who served, to better themselves as individuals, to provide for their families, to serve their country or any combination of those. Regardless of why each Airman puts the uniform on, it is the one thing that unites us and shows the world that, although we come from all walks of life, we are a unified force. Serving in the U.S. Air Force has been a dream of mine ever since high school. Growing up, I didn’t know many people who served in the mili- tary, so the lifestyle was foreign to me. Because of this, I decided to go to college, putting my dream of joining the Air Force aside for the time being. The desire to serve my country had resurfaced, and I feared that I would look back one day and regret never joining the Air Force. The body works harder So, I decided to reach out to a recruiter, and six months later I was boarding a plane to Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, to start metabolically at high my Air Force journey, and I have not once regretted the decision. It has now been almost seven months since I began my Air Force altitudes. The much dryer air, career, and each morning I wake up and put on the uniform proudly. I wear the uniform to make my family proud, to ensure that they makes people dehydrate faster. are safe and can enjoy the freedoms many people in our country take for granted. I wear the uniform for the veterans who served before me, to carry on their legacy and uphold the standards that are expected of me and my fellow Airmen. Lastly, I wear the uniform to honor the decision I made to join the military and be able to look myself in the mirror and proudly know I am a part of something greater than myself. Sports drinks, soda, fruit juices, punch or powder based beverages can prevent dehydration, but they often contain large amounts of sugar. Drinking plain water is best.

Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — On a sunny morning at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, groups and individual Airmen are warming up at the outdoor running track. Off to the side, a quiet unassuming Airman puts on a pair of sunglasses and begins lightly jogging; the jog turns into a run and the run into nearly three miles of sprints. As others are gasping around him, 1st Lt. Nicholas Ruiz, executive officer with the 50th Mission Support Group, is barely sweating. At 38 years old, Ruiz recently scored his 11th consecutive 100 on his fitness assessment, a rare and difficult achievement. “When someone scores a 100 for the first time it’s an awe- some sight to see,” said Natalie McCoy, fitness assessment cell manager with the 50th Force Support Squadron. “For Ruiz, that’s become the norm, but he never stops working to be better or beat his own time. He’s never scored anything but a 100 in his career and that’s a completely different level of accomplishment.” Ruiz’s first 100 came in 2000 when he enlisted in the Air Force, but his running journey began at age 10, while in fourth grade. “One of my teachers said ‘We’re going to race one mile,’ but all I heard was ‘race,’” Ruiz said. “I discovered I loved competition.” Ruiz began exploring other competition avenues and dis- covered he loved wrestling. “I didn’t have great form, but I could often outlast or out- hustle someone due to my conditioning, and I got hooked on that,” he said. “I thought ‘if I just start running year round I’ll be better poised to compete in whatever I want to compete in.’ I’ve run year-round ever since.” When he joined the Air Force, Ruiz focused his com- U.S. Air Force photos by Tech.

I like to set new, realistic goals.

Speed work is huge. I’d advise people to do two miles minimum, but you have to train hard for those two miles.” For anyone looking to improve their score or obtain a good speed training plan, Ruiz said he’s more than happy to help and they can contact him through the Air Force global email system. Longevity At 38 years old, Ruiz tests in the 30-39 year old category. However, his scores are high enough to score a 100 in the under 30 category. “I’ve been doing this consistently for so long, my body is able to maintain at a high level so it’s much easier,” he said. “There’s a longevity factor. If I was just now starting to try and score a 100 for the first time, it would be much more difficult.” Ruiz said each fitness journey starts with a first step; each step builds on the other and creates momentum. “The first step is signing up for something,” he said. “Start with a 5K run. Signing up commits you and now you have to train for it.” Nutrition “Nutrition can be very hard for people because we naturally want to eat things that are bad for us and limit our physical capabilities,” Ruiz said. “If you start training and eating right you’ll find eating better comes much easier when you see how it impacts your training.” “It all ties into Comprehensive Airman Fitness,” he con- tinued. “You feel so much better when you have a consistent training and nutrition regimen. I feel like a better version of myself and I’m able to perform better at work.” As one of the fastest Airman on Schriever AFB, the title comes with a fair amount of good natured heckling from friends. Having recently scored his 11th consecutive perfect fitness assessment score, 1st Lt.

Lyle Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Public Affairs WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — The Air Force’s new Employee Assistance Program provides civilian employees and their families with free, confidential resources and support to help manage normal everyday life challenges that may affect job performance and personal well-being. The AF EAP/Worklife4You bundle of services and resourc- es provides support on two levels: AF EAP provides coun- seling, financial and legal services, whereas Worklife4you provides a “concierge-like” service to help assist with every day stressors, no matter how large or small.

Because of its large civilian population, Wright-Patterson AFB actually has an AF EAP counselor located on the instal- lation who regularly sees employees. However, Danna Plewe, the Air Force EAP Program Manager, said, “Depending on the need, employees have the option to ask for an off-base affiliate provider by calling the 1-800 number.” An affiliate provider is a licensed, credentialed professional in the community who is authorized to provide up to six counseling sessions, per topic, at no cost to the employee. The Air Force has about 22,000 affiliate providers worldwide and can provide services in up to 80 languages. According to Plewe, AF EAP is not just a service people should utilize when there is a crisis, but at any time they might need help.

SEE US ONLINE AT WWW.CSMNG.COM 14 June 21, 2018 Schriever Sentinel Men’s Health: raising awareness By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — June is Men’s Health Awareness Month and medical personnel at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, are advocating for male service members to get a checkup as a preventive measure for health risks. “Regular checkups can help find problems before they start,” said Maj. Emerson Raza, family medicine physician and flight surgeon at Schriever AFB Family Medicine. Many risks can go unnoticed, and traditional risk factors vary for different male age groups. “Risks include cardiovascular disease, mental illness, diabetes, liver disease and acci- dental injury,” said Staff Sgt. Anthony Presti, medical laboratory technician with the 21st Medical Squadron. These risks have long been recognized by the medical community. According to the National Institutes of Health’s website, younger males tend to engage in higher risk activities and are predisposed to contracting sexually transmitted infections; they are also prone to abuse alcohol and other drugs. Self-harm and suicide are factors that are higher among younger males as well. The website stated males ages 40 and older have an increased risk for prostate and colon cancers, high cholesterol and heart disease, especially if these ailments run in their family. Fortunately, the 21st MDS’s Schriever AFB clinic offers medical consulting services as well as routine procedures such as lipid and glucose tests to help asses one’s health and spot risks early. “Our clinic performs routine screening exams, and laboratory and imaging as needed,” Raza said. “Additionally, we provide educational flyers for most medical conditions.” The 21st MDS offers these services free of charge and many procedures are required as FRED COUPLES DAVIS LOVE III TOM WATSON part of a service member’s Physical Health Assessment. Other resources include the Health and Wellness Center and fitness center, both provide avenues for men and women to lead a healthier lifestyle. However, the stereotype of men being less willing to seek help from a medical professional continues to hold true. According to a Center for Disease Control study, women are 100 percent more likely to visit medical facilities for annual checkups than men. “We have a cultural belief about masculinity that tells men they need to be tough and self-reliant,” Raza said. “We found masculinity was related to delays in seeking health care. For some, it’s the fear of medical results and sometimes embarrassment.” Raza said it’s important not to let pride get in the way of one’s health. While it may seem like an inconvenience to some men, undergoing a medical checkup, seeking medical advice and following preventive measures is an action which can lead to a better, and longer, life. “Being proactive about one's health should be of the upmost importance,” Presti said. “This puts patients in the best possible position for early, effective treatment.” Be A Part Of To schedule an appointment through the Schriever AFB clinic, call 524-2273.
