5 2009 Preparation for Contact

Welcome to the 2009 Edition of the BOOM SIGNAL! This is the 30th Anniversary Edition. It’s hard to believe that this tradition has been going on that long. But, like every year now, time just flies by faster and faster every year. I want to thank all the units that participated in this year’s Edition. This is the biggest Edition we’ve had in a long time! Congratulations to all Boom Operators who’ve competed and earned promotion since last year. The KC-X contract was unfortunately put on indefinite hold by the Secretary of Defense, and who knows how long it will be delayed. The disappointing part is the fact that we’ll have to rely on our aging fleet for a little longer before a fresh new airframe is available. The Center of Excellence (CoE) is starting to ramp up to the next series of “Spirals”. The next big thing on the horizon for them is the Instructor, Evaluator and Group CEM training courses that are coming on line. The CoE is truly a one-stop-shopping for Career Enlisted Aviator (CEA) training.

The Boom Operator Weapon System Training or BOWST unit #1is up-and-running at Altus AFB, still in final testing and unit #2 has been flown up from Randolph AFB and is ready to be installed in the simulator bay next to unit #1. Ultimately the BOWST will be a money/fuel saver by allowing us to scale back the number of training sorties required for Initial Qualification Training. What is on the drawing board for line units are AMC BOWSTs which are planned to be built and installed at our line units. (much like KC-10 simulators) There is also a BOSS trainer for ANG units, which will serve the same purpose. The 30th Anniversary Boom Operator Symposium was a great success! Thanks to all the hard working Booms at the FTU for hosting another great event. The guest speaker was the AETC Commander, General Stephen R. Lorenz and he provided a fantastic speech about heritage, legacy and how today’s FTU instructors are standing on the shoulders of giants, giving respect and thanks to those who paved the way throughout the history of the schoolhouse. Great, great event.

For those who aren’t familiar with the BOOM SIGNAL tradition, it is 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 It’s a historical document which started in 1979. Think of it as a history book for our community. We, as a community, need to ensure this tradition lives on. We owe it to ourselves. With that, I am profoundly grateful that I have the opportunity to continue this history. I firmly believe that the BOOM SIGNAL goes hand-in-hand with the many traditions we uphold. It is imperative that we teach our young Boom Operators about this tradition so that it will continue to live on after my generation moves on. That said, each unit really needs to make a concerted effort to submit something, anything each year. I’m puzzled as to why some units chronically do not participate. If every unit participates each year we can document the history of each unit as we go. No other career field can say that. 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 -- you are family.

I’d like to extend my personal thanks to the senior booms at the MAJCOMS, ANGB and AFR for assisting me in spreading the word this year. Without that help, the SIGNAL would never get airborne. Flight Safety, Altus AFB, for supporting the Class Rosters section. Most importantly I’d again like to thank the Units that did participate for their submissions despite their continued pace of operations. One project I’m working on is to take hard copies of all existing SIGNAL’s, scan them into .pdf format and make them available for download on the website. It is a work in progress. As always, publishing the BOOM SIGNAL is the very least I can do for the Boom Operator family that I’ve been part of for the majority of my Air Force career. Legacy and heritage are a large part of what being a Boom Operator is all about, part of our enduring foundation. Please enjoy the 2009 Edition of the BOOM SIGNAL and I look forward towards 2010!

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

7 ALTUS AFB, OK

KC-135 SCHOOLHOUSE

Greetings from Altus OK, home of the KC-135 Formal Training Unit. Last year we were very busy training new boom operators. The biggest change here is that the 55th stood down and consolidated into the 54th. We are currently in full preparation for our UCI that will happen later this fall.

Altus is constantly looking for some great instructors to become a part of our team, so if anyone is interested, please make sure your dream sheet is updated and give the Functional Manager or me a call if you have any questions. Anyone that has been stationed here could tell you that life in Altus is definitely easy but busy, with an opportunity to work hard during the week and on the weekends, relax with your families or do some type of community projects.

We are truly grateful to have such a great team of outstanding boom operators. Their professionalism shines every day through their eagerness and willingness to step-up for every tasking or challenge sent our way. Our boom operator force has been steadily getting younger, but it is their great attitude that truly has been the key to making sure every student is ready to go out and defend our freedom. If you are ever in the local area or just passing through, please give us a call or stop by to say hello.

//Signed// BRUCE ZAHN, CMSgt, USAF 97 Operations Group Superintendent

8 ALTUS AFB, OK

97 OG & OGV

Operations Group Superintendent

CMSgt Bruce Zahn: He and Capt Zahn (Christy) are back for another Altus Tour. It did not take us long to whip the Gucci out of him. He is the only man I know that stands at attention when his wife calls him on the phone.

OGV

MSgt Michael Ward: Still old, still cynical, still at Altus. He is headed to AMC/DOV after a desert vacation. He will help all the AMC evaluators in their understanding of the evaluation pyramid and how it was “back in the day”. Good luck and happy retirement at Scott.

MSgt Brian Quam: He likes Altus because the Locals love to hear a fiddle player (only one in the area). He bought a house in the country so he doesn’t have to cut his grass and so he can drive more than 15 MPH. He says he will run for office some day and when he’s President, promises “this sh_ _ is going to stop!” He will definitely get our vote. Currently taking the helm from Ward and complaining about PEX almost every day.

TSgt Timothy Mitchell: The wrestler “Bautista.” Well, that’s his cousin but he will not confirm that. He’s a great guy but if you have any daughters of age, it’s best you keep them away from Tim. Currently he is in OGV and does most of the work in the shop; we will miss him when he gets an assignment.

9 ALTUS AFB, OK

97 TRS

SMSgt Lonny Hall: Lonny is Superintendent over at the TRS these days mentoring all the Non-prior service students. Make sure you ask him about his Loadmaster “5%” rule. BTW, if you are lucky enough to be in his squadron you better be able to quote AFI 36-2618 or know how to make a good cup of coffee, just ask Ricky.

MSgt Richard “Ricky” Martin: Can’t hold a job for more than six months…”Sgt Hall, if I extend my code 50, can I come to work in the TRS?” (sure Ricky) “Sgt Hall, Can I get out of my code 50 early to work at HQ AMC?” Ricky is on his way to AMC/A3T.

TSgt Matt Calisi: Rumor is that Matt and Shonna are married but were not sure. Matt can be found at work 20 hours a day, maybe a little “OCD”. Matt will be pinning on MSgt in July, first try!! Way to go Matt!

TSgt Shane Haney: Shane still suffers from foot-in-mouth syndrome. He tends to run off a string of 4-letter words and automatically looks behind him for the commander. He’s been working in TRQ approving courseware and testing the BOWSTT. No one over there could understand anything he said either.

TSgt Rafael Cruz-Oyola: Rafael was the calming influence most of the year in training flight for the 54th. He was the perfect person to balance out Ralph’s craziness. Only time we saw his smile droop was when his name came up in connection with a move to scheduling (notice a trend yet?). Lonny found a better use for his skills. He just moved over to the TRS to work in the group training office there.

SSgt Jesse Wright: Jesse was welcomed back from a deployment with a move back to scheduling. Just before he started climbing the water tower with a rifle, they sent him over to TRS/TRQ. He now spends his time testing the BOWST and translating what Haney says into actual English.

Mr. Dean Pickering: Dean is still in TRQ reviewing course wear and keeping us active duty guys in line. That is pretty hard to do with Shaney and Jesse in the office. He is our continuity (old guy) in the Quality assurance world. “Back when Gordo and I rebuilt the BOPTT…”

Mr. Tim Ablay: A true Altus Icon…Tim is still giving Lonny more mentor ship than he can handle. Most of Tim’s Castle students have already retired, but Lonny and Joe are still here. Tim is still working in the C-17 quality assurance shop. His wife, Pat works down stairs in the OG/RA shop.

MSgt Dave Foster: Dave retired in Dec and moved back east. Hey Dave, I thought I told you couldn’t retire until you taught Ricky how to make coffee. Thanks for your service Dave, we miss ya!

TSgt Keith “Ranger” Brodie: Keith retired in Feb and moved back home to Grand Forks. His Mitsubishi stealth is still on blocks in Frank’s yard. Ranger, Thanks for your 22 years of dedicated service to your country!

10 ALTUS AFB, OK

54 ARS

54 ARS Boom Leadership: Not sure who really does what, but we’ll call them the 3 wise men. Okay, I can’t start this off with a lie; they’re really the 3 blind mice and you had ought to see them run when the boss walks into the room.

SMSgt Mike Morris: Bringing back the basics on the Boom side. This southern boy is making changes left and right. As you can imagine, things are getting really simplified around here. So hardcore, he had to have his wife drive his drunks rear- end home on the Friday AFTER the boom symposium. We may need to run an intervention.

MSgt Justin Johansen: After being the do it all SNCO in the 54th for most of last year, JoJo is headed to McConnell. Now he can see how good he had it with all the “lazy NCOs” here. I predict his head explodes after his first month of witnessing Stupid Airman Tricks. Let’s just hope he gets time to relax and ride his Harley or everyone will suffer. Maybe his soon to arrive baby will help mellow him out.

MSgt Robert “BK” Brolliar: Came down stairs with a story about having cadaver’s bones in his neck. The possible comments about that are too numerous to write here. A lot of them had something about him not to putting stuff in his mouth if he doesn’t know where it’s been. Someone please inform him what TMI means.

A-Flight

TSgt Jason “Brain” Burianek: Finally made TSgt and became the A-FLT ALL STAR Supervisor. His new love interest is a Cougar and I’m not talking about a car. Meow! He still driving around in that clunker he calls a Mustang. Last I heard he was considering the Smart car. He can drive it up to McConnell later this summer.

SSgt Marcus Barnes: Fighting Goob for the ultra-lightweight championship in the squadron. Goob left behind the purple pimp suit for Barnes to wear to the symposium, but someone didn’t have the stones to wear it. Only IB here that has to explain to his students that he really is an IB, not just some kid from the high school playing a prank. Got himself a motorcycle, still looking for someone to drive him around on it.

SSgt Doug Boren: Ladies and Gentleman, your 2008 Altus Idol! When Dougie is not running around winning singing competitions or singing the National Anthem at every base event, he has been working hard to follow in the footsteps of his CFIC mentors. First he started Q-3ing all the FTU students like Poteet. Then he tried being the DNIF boy like Sottovia. He actually broke a rib playing volleyball! Someone explain to him that it is a non-contact sport. He’s on his way to McConnell this summer.

SSgt Neil “Goob” Godwin: Lived in scheduling most of his time and finally moved to A-FLT. He would go to the gym to build his pecs, only to discover he burns more calories and loses weight. Goob is so fit to fight that he doesn’t have to run to pass the test. This Pimp is still living the good life of a bachelor and recently returned from his vacation in Hawaii where the Japanese women are plentiful. He recently went off to OTS and will be a Nav sometime in the near future.

SSgt Brandon Johnson: Showed up here in the 54th month of his checkride zone. As if PCSing in wasn’t stressful enough. Managed to keep smiling. Not sure if he smiles because it doesn’t faze him or if behind the smile he’s planning all of our deaths. Pushing students now, so that should keep him busy for the next year or two.

11 SSgt Ryan Perry: Has a new baby on the way. Got CFIC qualified and is running with that. Ensures that all the tanning salons in town stay in business. The official Animals in the Woods Chef.

SSgt Jeffrey “Sparky” Sparks: Becky popped out another girl and Jeff said “That’s it! Off with the boys!” After battling the privatized housing over termites, he became a home owner living on the edge of the ghetto. He currently is escorting Emirates around the sandbox. A picture of him coming out of the ladies’ restroom over there made its way back to us. Maybe the doctors removed too much?

SSgt Dave Thoresen: Came to us as part of the Great Grand Forks Exodus. Doing a great job pushing students through the program. When the merger happened, he finally picked up some additional duties but was spared a move to scheduling. Some guys have all the luck. Quickly becoming one of our experienced instructors.

SrA Mike Miranda: Some people here were drooling over the thought of having an actual airman running around. Mike didn’t take any crap and quickly proved himself capable. Now, if we can just get him to stop calling the Staffs and Techs “Sir,” he wouldn’t make us feel so old.

B-Flight

TSgt Ralph Hoffmann: We all have fun getting Ralph spinning up. What can I say; we’re simple folks who like easy games. Ralph was the NCOIC for faculty training for most of the year. Just don’t get in his way when he is stomping up and down the halls, muttering to himself how impossible it is to get guys 3 FTC flights in only 45 days! He will be taking his calm personality to McConnell soon, where he plans on continuing his trend of being DNIF more than flying.

TSgt Terry Brown: Only male boom here with his own Snuggie. At least he’s warm at Animals while fending off all the drunks who see his tramp-stamp and try to hit on him. Finally escaped scheduling and has been pushing CFIC lines. He’s headed to Scott to the new associate unit.

TSgt Jeremiah Docken: Just arrived from the 509th at Fairchild. Gets to learn what teaching booms is like again after years of teaching pilots that you push forward to make the houses bigger and pull up to make them smaller.

TSgt Justin Poteet: The Hammer. It got to the point that whenever he was scheduled to check someone, we just went ahead and planned the corrective training and recheck right then. Doesn’t believe in “gray” areas. Will be taking the Compensator and his wood shop to Pease this summer to help start up the new associate unit.

TSgt Chris Rueckert: Fairchild sent us one of their super-stars. Just got here and is getting spun up in FTC. Should have some funny stories on him by next year.

TSgt Clint Slick: This guy wears BDUs/ABUs so much, that most of didn’t even know he was a boom until after the squadron merger. Rumor has it that he can count the number of flights this year without taking off his boots. He is headed to Mildenhall this summer.

SSgt Chris Joyce: Another new guy doing well. Likes to talk about how good he is at golf. Unfortunately, no one who’s played with him seems to want to confirm his stories. His team did finish as the first place all-boom team at this year’s symposium tournament. We believe he was the only one on his team who could have passed a breathalyzer test at any point of the day.

SSgt Jeff Moore: Another fairly new guy who came down from upstairs with the other monkeys. Pushing students and going to school. What else can you ask of an Altus instructor? Will drive extreme distances for a good haircut. Brought his favorite drinking game “Edward 40-hands” with him. Has something to do with taping a 40 to each hand. We are all expecting a demonstration at the next symposium.

SSgt Roderick Taylor: They call him Putt. Such a calm demeanor, we’re still trying to find a way to get him to spin up. Should call him the Anti-Ralph. Will get to fight it out with Barnes to see who wears Goob’s pimp suit to next year’s symposium.

12 C-Flight

MSgt Daron Talsma: Another calm personality. Looks like a real hard-ass, but is pretty soft-spoken. When he speaks up at boom meetings it’s always a surprise. Tend to forget he was even there. Headed up to Fairchild and the 509th.

MSgt Joe Wilkins: While waiting for retirement, Joe sips tea and tells war stories about his life during SAC …. That never ENDS! If you ever wanted to know how things should be run in the Air Force, Joe won’t hesitate to tell you.

TSgt Jimmy Andrews: His hairline finally gave up the fight, and he’s now bald. That’s what spending so much time as a bachelor in Altus can do to you. Is anxiously awaiting his orders to find out where he is headed to in the fall.

TSgt Dan Beecher: Likes cruising on his motorcycle with the wind blowing through his hair. Oops! He also is suffering from Altus Hairline Syndrome. Sometimes you can’t tell if the glare is coming off his head or his helmet. He’s finally breaking off his live-in love affair with Mitchell, as he is headed off to March to help with standing up the associate unit there.

TSgt Joe Blakely: Recently showed up with his wife and 6 kids. Wow! Someone was making good use of their home time between deployments.

TSgt T.J. “Sleepy” Sinclair: ZZzzzzz No one seems to want to call him by his self-given nickname of “Cowboy.” ZZzzzz Took a position in scheduling, pushing the “Oh $#!T” button at the duty desk. Zzzzzz After a few months, it was decided to move him out for the benefit of the Air Force and Larimore’s sanity. He rebounded nicely, sending a student through the door with an Exceptional Qualified. Zzzzzz. He has spawned a new boom game. Has something to do with a betting pool and how long he stays awake at all meetings.

(T)Sgt Rob Hansen: Spent most of the year in training flight, trying to avoid taking over the scheduling office. He was saved by the merger. Bought a foreclosed house to fix up and sell, but ended up moving the family in. Hardly ever at work, but can be found at his house fixing something different every week. Volunteered for a 6-month deployment to fund his upcoming home improvements.

SSgt Kurt Hinson: Serves as a warning to all future Altus instructors: Get your checkride done before PCSing here. It really sucks trying to do FTC, sandwiched around your check when you show up in your 5th month of eligibility. He walked around looking like a mixture between a Meth-addict and a vampire for his first month.

SSgt Aggie Marshal: Just got down here from the Forks. Seemed to enjoy the drunk-fest at the symposium. After that observation, we know that he’s going to fit right in with the rest of us. Just starting to push his first student line.

SSgt Dan “Dandar” McCrillis: Has taken the mantle of the guy most likely to talk just to hear how smart he thinks he is. Recently upgraded to CFIC, they didn’t know they were just feeding the fire. Moved to training flight after the merger. Does a great job running the Animals in the Woods program for wayward youth.

Scheduling:

TSgt Nancy Primm: Won the coveted spot of Chief of Scheduling when the squadrons merged. I don’t know who she pissed off, but she must have done something bad to deserve that. Along with that prize comes the title of “Person who no one thinks knows how to do their job right.” On good note, she has been taking a lot of good TDYs and never seems to fly unless it is one to a full stop. Hmmmm.

SSgt Bruce Berglund: You wouldn’t know it by talking to him, but actually a fairly smart guy and a hard worker. Most conversations are filled with “Uhhhs” and “Ummms”. He’s the guy most likely to pass for Homer Simpson on the phone. He’ll be upgrading to EB soon, so our pass rates should climb dramatically.

SSgt Ben Davis: His sister and his former girlfriend (now wife) both moved in when he PCS’d here. Hell, his sister is still here. Guess Jeff Moore hasn’t popped the question yet or perhaps he has and plans on moving in too. He has since been banished to OSS. Looks like the B-Team has its newest member. Our only goal is for him to have more hours every 30 days than Carden. It isn’t too hard to beat zero, but we’re setting our expectations low. Don’t let him dog sit for you……

13 SSgt Cleigh Robbins: “Clay-Gee” brought the havoc which is known as Tippy Cup to us from McConnell. It was first wrought at Spring 08 Animals. Watch out ladies-and guys, he gets grabby when he drinks. At least he doesn’t drive a compensator. He is no longer allowed to go TDY-1st Puerto Rico, then a NASCAR flyover. Cleigh, you are grounded!

SSgt Joe Callahan: Callahan volunteered for a job in the Protocol office, just to get away from scheduling. After a couple of months, they sent him back. Something about him being too eager to polish the brass knobs. While he awaits words on his Palace Chase, he is back in the scheduling office. His wife’s expecting a little boy in June. Now his biggest worry is finding someone to teach his son how not to throw like a girl.

Jason Whiting-“J-Dawg” to all who know him. Is now a Mr. since separating and is guilty of frequent alcohol abuse (usually spillage) and getting his groove on at Scoots. Amy doesn’t allow him up here anymore-something about not spending enough time doing what she wants to do.

Training Flight:

MSgt Ernest Burns: Somehow, Burnsie got elected President of the Boom Association, without even being a member. Some guys have all the luck. Did a great job on this year’s symposium, only added a couple of gray hairs to his collection. Made a new best friend with the new wing JAG officer. Apparently, just because something has been happening for 30 years doesn’t mean that it is legal. For his trouble, we are deporting him to Mildenhall this fall.

SSgt Shonna Calisi: Affectionately know as the “Hall Monitor,” she never hesitates to call someone out for the most minor infraction. Don’t be the last one to walk in to a meeting, she’s writing down names. Scared one student so bad, he developed a speech impediment and is no longer a boom. She’s been the Association treasurer for 2 years running. Dealing with all the immature behavior around here has taken away any of her desire for children. Either that or she doesn’t want to move to scheduling.

SSgt Aaron Widener: Our current CFIC subject matter expert in the new training flight. I’m sure he’s glad to go from 6 people running the CFIC new class day to just him. Some day, he’s gonna snap on someone and I don’t want to be there when it happens. Needs to get his Tech stripe soon, the wife is seriously running away from him in that department.

SSgt Cliff LeClerc: Has delusions of crossing over to the dark side. Spent less than a year in scheduling-thanks to the Great Merge of ’09. Despite being a proud graduate of the Altus public school system, he can in fact count to twenty without taking his shoes off. Still trying to figure out why he wasted his time and money making a semi-Compensator. You’d think a truck would at least have 4-wheel drive if you were going to lift it and put mud tires on it.

Stan/Eval:

MSgt Dave “Stads” Stadnicki: Moved from the scheduling shop to STAN/EVIL kicking and screaming. Who knew there are some who love the scheduling office? He got over the shock quickly. Stads maintains his fit to fight form by wheeling to work on his custom made bicycle that resembles a chopper with a screaming skully helmet. His new love interest is moving in with him to help keep Santa’s stress levels low. Baw-chicka-wow-wow…. He’s on his way to Fairchild in August.

TSgt Nate Hackney: Five feet-one inch of pure fury. Usually spends his days walking around talking about everyone who has orders. Still no orders for Nate (another common theme around here). Between him and Stads, you can find out where every boom is PCSing in the next 6 months…except them. When not slaving away in the shop prepping for the ASEV, Nate can usually be found implementing his latest coping skill…standing in the parking lot staring at the sun.

TSgt Jason “Larry More” Larimore: Too hot for STM and quickly moved into Scheduling FLT for Stads. The move put a strain on his family life. He got a call at the hospital during his newest son’s birth about a scheduling question. His wife Katie missed him because he was always deployed to the office. Never quite figured out how to pull crewmembers out of his a$$ to fill last second taskings. After the merger, got his release for good behavior and moved to Stan/Eval. Smiles a lot more these days and is actually averaging double digit flying hours per month.

14 TSgt Jamie “JL” Smith: HA HA. Someone in Stan/Eval has orders. JL will be taking his family to Scott to help open up the associate unit there. No one really had anything funny or mean to say about him. Just that type of guy. Maybe the Scott guys can find some dirt on him, we couldn’t.

(T)Sgt Ben “Playa Playa” Cobb: Made TSgt first time testing so he wouldn’t be targeted for the random deployment drops. Watch out, this Playa recently upgraded to CFIC and is known to give the smack down in STAN/EVIL. Put on one hell of a golf tournament at this year’s symposium. Not sure if he remembers much, because he was still drunk from Friday night. Was caught napping face down on the green on the 8th hole.

SSgt Nate Gibbs: Local Oklahoma boy. Did the state proud by only having to take speech class twice for his CCAF. Loves big-city life in Altus. Did you know they have internet here? And new-fangled wireless phone. Still trying overcome his MCT training with Ireland.

SSgt Clay Lifer: Keeps his head shaved, but wears a ten-pound caterpillar on his upper lip. Moved in to Stan/Eval, but only as a SELO. All the work pushing paperwork, none of the fun making students nervous. With the merger and mass defections from the office, we are fast-tracking Clay to full evaluator status.

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). Hopefully in the coming months we’ll be able to add the much anticipated Boom Operator Weapon System Trainer (BOWST) to the inventory and eventually phase out the BOPTTs.

Currently the two BOPTTs at Altus are the primary trainers for KC-135 Boom Operator qualification courses. These two devices have been around for quite some time and should be replaced in the near future by the next generation Boom Operator Weapon System Trainers that are currently under development and testing. The CLT continues to be the cargo training workhorse for BIQ initial checks and remains in excellent condition.

I had the pleasure to attend the AMC BOWST source selection technical evaluation board for the device that will be installed at McConnell AFB and look forward to working with that program for the next few years. After acceptance of the first AMC BOWST the command may then opt to acquire eight or so more and situate these at various bases. Ideally, some Mission Certification and qualification training, continuation training and systems abnormal/emergency procedures training will be able to utilize the BOWST to enhance boom operator training.

Cheers, Frank

Frank Antonsen, MSgt (AD) – [email protected] Replaced SMSgt Tim Ballentine (PCS McConnell) after a year in the 97 TRS. I’m digging the quiet ‘county’ living 10 miles from town, working on my BS and enjoying life.

97 AMW CURRENT OPERATIONS

“THE POSSE”

Greetings from Current Operations in Altus Oklahoma. The “hub” of all 97 Air Mobility Wing scheduling. Many changes came in the way of personnel and how we do our scheduling. We moved away from the “Horse blanket” and switched to a “Standard Schedule”. The changes went pretty smooth and aircrew “rumbling” has almost come to a stop. We are looking forward to many new challenges this year with CAASS going away and the new GTIMS coming online this summer. (Yeah Right!) But I am more than positive we will make great things happen. Here is our line-up for this year:

Current Booms:

Current Ops NCOIC – TSgt Steven Jones - Steve is the NCOIC of the shop. He is always dreaming up ways of keeping Tim busy when he is not planning for his next basketball game or contemplating his next conspiracy theory. You see he is the assistant coach of the base B-Ball team but will not answer when we ask him “Hey what’s you’re record? Hmmmm?

Barrel NCO – SSgt Timothy Carden - Tim is our Barrel NCO. What is the barrel you ask? Well that’s seems to be known (to command post anyway) as the stupid question hot line. Tim is in a constant war with our command post. He is convinced that they just pull people off the streets and give them a phone and a radio and say “there you go”. They keep him busy though….

SSgt Ben (B-E-N) Davis - Ben came to us from the 54th by way of the 55th when both tanker squadrons consolidated. Well actually we stole him from their scheduling shop when they weren’t looking. Ben is learning the ropes and is in charge of the Wing AVPOL program. He has a group of rather large dudes that go from base to base beating up people until they send the wing our money, he is doing a great job! He has a nice side to him thought, just ask him to spell his first name for you…..and he will.

Long Range Scheduler – Mr. Bautista Jim “Jaws” (MSgt Re tired) – Well that is me. Made MSgt, was told I was going back to the TALCE oops..CRG”, then decided to retire from Boom Operating. And who says they won’t give you back to back to back code 50’s. Ha! – Liars! I worked as a Security Guard for awhile, then landed this job; and I thought I would never be a scheduler, but life is good and I really enjoy it here.

Booms gone by………………..

TSgt Tom Glosser (Retired) - Tom Finally called it a career here in December. But he still stops by from time to time when we turn the “Batman” light on when we need our computers fixed cause Comm sure don’t do nothing. He will really be missed; he is the only one who knows everything about all our computers anyway. Thanks for saving our CAASS Tom.

TSgt Brett Prothe - Brett finally left Altus and PCSed to Scott AFB and is scheduling nuclear stuff or something up there. Loves the area and says his Altus stint was all “just a bad dream”.

17 ALTUS AFB, OK

KC-135 ATS BOOM INSTRUCTORS

Greetings from the Civilian Boom Association.

Updates: The BOWST is actually coming along very nicely as they are currently (Aug 08) working on sanding and painting the wrap around screen. Next up should be the walkway and operators station. Pretty soon the image generators and cameras will be going in. It should be all completed by the time Block 60 comes on line. 

(Apr 09) We continue to see progress on the BOWST and recently we have been using the term “BOWST YEARS” to describe its current or future condition. BOWST #2 is still taking up floor space in our sim bay, but we are only using it as a large storage area. If you look at it from a side view, it sort of looks like a giant barbeque grill – “can we find hinges that large and put a grate in there?” Looks like the completion date will be “springtime” (BOWST YEARS of course). Actually, the testing and acceptance is scheduled for early May 09. BOWST #1 is being installed this month (May 09). Maybe we’ll see one or both of them operational before too long.

Block 40 training has been fully implemented for all boom courses. The four preflight missions we now accomplish during the BOPTT phase appear to be helping the students better adjust to the flightline training. We have heard many positive comments from the flightline instructors concerning the new preflight training.

It looks like job security for the KC-135 training and operations will continue into the foreseeable future since there is no money for a new tanker anytime soon.

The current KC-135 contract with FlightSafety Services Corporation will expire in 2010 and after the recomplete it will be awarded to the next winning bidder. We of course are hoping it will remain in the capable hands of FlightSafety Services Corp.

Our Current Roster

Phil Blaisse – Phil moved back into “The City” after being out in the country for awhile. He seems to like his new house (with pool) and not having to commute so far. We miss the septic tank and buffalo stories though, now all we get is pool chlorine stories. Phil and Mitch went to Sturgis in August 08. After hauling their bikes all the way to South Dakota on a trailer they rode around for a couple of days and hauled them back (sounds like cheating to me – lol). Phil just got a Suburban and now he’s looking for a Toy Hauler (just ride the bike dude).

Eddie Cole – Electronic pubs have transformed Eddie’s desk into a much cleaner area without all the pubs changes and FCIF’s stored on it (we can actually see some wood grain now). If it’s real nice outside Eddie will actually ride his motorcycle. Eddie and Brad’s motorcycle stories continue to be amusing.

Terry Daffern – Working on that “two-handed” golf club throw now, for all clubs except his Driver which seems to be working great. Terry has improved his game considerably, now if we can convince him to join our “quarter’s game”. He is still remodeling his house, a new wooden floor is installed and hopefully the house won’t flood again anytime soon. Now that Dallas has released T.O., Terry might start rooting for them again. Oh ya!! Terry got a “Hole-in-One” on number 4 at Altus golf course! Free drinks!!!

George Dion – George finally bought a new house way up in Hobart Oklahoma complete with 10 acres. It’s a long commute but George stays busy figuring how many head of cattle he can put there. Jury duty brought up another question – where is he listed as a resident?

18

Chico Gallegos – Chico is still doing his “storm-reporting”. He and several other volunteers ride around during and after big storms with CB radios in order to update the local weather stations and the national weather service. Do not attempt this at home! These people are crazy! Can’t figure out how he keeps his Jeep spotless but now that his son is driving maybe it will finally get some dirt on it (assuming he gets to drive it).

Roger Gossett – We had a little windstorm here last June (that would be about 90 mph) and Roger’s new garage/workshop didn’t fare too well as the whole building was destroyed. With all the big money the insurance company threw at him, he rebuilt it even better this time (and he got to buy lots of new tools since the wind and rain trashed most of the old ones). He still hasn’t traded his truck (he did get the dent fixed though). It’s unusual for Roger to keep a vehicle for over a year.

Brad Hamann – Still staying busy modifying courseware and making the courseware people work harder. He puts the “fear of god” into all students. Brad typically gives at least one “U” during the BOPTT cycle (because he can). It seems as though he has been “more critical” since he quit smoking and all the students are leaving cigarettes nearby. In the winter, Brad wears chaps while riding his bike and you can’t imagine the grief he has to endure. Ask him about his bike and its relationship with white cars.

Al Miller – We still haven’t got all the KC-10 mentality out of him. He thinks the ATP-56 is the gospel of air refueling (or air-to-air refueling as he would say). As soon as he realizes the civilian world works differently than active duty he might change somewhat. Al is almost as much fun to watch as Marty when you spin him up. Al moved up to 4th place in motorcycle racing for 2008. He just moved up into the over 50 class for the 2009 season (thinks he can beat most of the old- timers). Al says that Harleys and road bikes are for people who can’t ride dirt bikes.

Rick Raprager – Hmmm, what to say!!! Mr. Dash Nine! If it weren’t for Rick they wouldn’t even have a -9 conference each year. Now he’s rearranging the sequence of the Dash 9. I suppose when Rick retires the boom career field will just stop doing cargo loading altogether. If you need an answer about cargo loading he’s your man. Sure has been “mellowed out” for about a year or so – what’s up with that?

Jim Reese – Jim had to learn how to “text message” when he was courting his new bride. It takes a lot of time to put the proper punctuation in each message before sending (he says he abbreviates on the texts – yeah right!) Jim and Jill were married a couple months ago (she’s a beautiful lady). Ranching, farming, horses, 40 acres, wife and kids keep him busy (still has time to correct our grammar though). He’s learned how to adjust tractor clutches, tie horse halters, operate zero turn radius mowers, haul horses, brush horses, clean up after horses, etc. We had a caption contest of Jim on a horse while talking on a cell phone; we had a field day with that one. Also learned how to clean off a redneck front porch – just put it down by the road and somebody will haul it off.

Marty Sabourin – Want cheap entertainment; get Marty spun up about almost anything. His name in “American Indian” means “Runs with scissors”. Marty also hauled his motorcycle up to Sturgis this year. Don’t real bikers ride their bikes? Marty finally left the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club – apparently they were way too tame for his liking. Bought a new Corvette and has had it parked in his garage for a year. He just bought into a local restaurant partnership, pretty soon he’ll be living behind Wal-Mart (the fancy “high – dollar” houses here are behind Wal-Mart).

Chuck Stewart – Chuck learned how to drive his golf cart backwards after the relay got stuck in reverse. He finally got it fixed because he was getting a crick in his neck from turning around backwards. Chuck is looking for cheaper rates for golf since he will be 65 before the end of the year (he’ll tell them he’s 65 already though).

Lew Timbrook – Lew still does the EMT thing on weekends and occasionally during the week unless it’s a really bloody patient. He figures since he sort of does it as a hobby he can choose not to deal with that messy stuff. Lew is the latest boom to take every Friday off (way too much vacation). A January pilgrimage to the Colorado ski resorts is standard now for Lew and Roger.

Joe Surovy – Don’t interrupt him during eating or “swap shop”. He’s very excited about the Steelers making the Superbowl. If anyone is interested, he’ll make you a good deal on Steelers paraphernalia. Joe is another happy camper from lower diesel prices and says he likes “big noisy trucks”, at least it runs. While you’re in town, visit “Honest Joes” used car lot.

Steve Tuttle – Al conned me into racing dirt bikes (I think Al just wanted to move up on the seniority list at work in case I wreck). Now I know why Al always came in sore on Monday mornings after a race – it takes a lot more out of you than I realized. I’ve achieved my goal of “dead last” for several races now (there sure are a lot of skinny bike racers, and not too

19 many of us Old Fat Guys). Too much scheduling – too little golf. Now that diesel prices are reasonable again, the truck sees a lot more action.

Mitch Malseed – Went to Sturgis with Phil in August 08, there was something about driving to Colorado and renting an RV then continuing to Sturgis. He got a surprise the other day – a new colt (and didn’t even know the horse was pregnant until the baby popped out). Mitch is still working the Engineering and Configuration portion of the training.

Other Retired Booms in the area

Dean Pickering – Dean is busy making sure the Air Force gets its money’s worth from the ATS. If he does anything funny, he doesn’t let us know about it (we wouldn’t pick on him would we?). Occasionally he comes by just to leave his sunglasses or coffee mug lying around.

36 MOBILITY RESPONSE SQUADRON

36 CONTINGENCY RESPONSE GROUP (CRG)

Greetings from the tropical paradise of Andersen AFB, Guam! This last year hasn’t been very busy for us. We’ve only deployed once to Thailand in support of the humanitarian relief efforts in Burma. We had to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel in Pattaya. Yeah, that was a rough one! Other than that, not much else going on except for working on the golf swing.

MSgt Jon (JD) Harston: 36 MRS Flight Superintendent and Wing Flight Safety NCO. I’ll PCS to Altus on 1 Oct 09. I already have my airline reservation. I never thought I’d miss flying so much!

TSgt Andrea Inmon: 36 MRS Training Flight. Andrea just moved here from McConnell in Dec 08. She’s been busy with formal training courses at Fort Dix and learning the ropes in our training section. She fits in well and doesn’t take any BS from those non-flyer types in the squadron.

CMSgt Fra nkie “ Rocky” Rollins [email protected] Program Manager Rocky “Just get ‘er done” Rollins was recently promoted to rank of CMSgt this year and leads this motley crew through the myriad of inspections that we meet head on one after the other. When he’s not showing off to his son’s friends and parents by breaking one board at his son’s karate class, he’s’ getting his A$$ kicked by his son (a five year old). We love his sense of humor and the lady booms enjoy making him blush at every opportunity imaginable.

SMSgt Gray, William “Billy Ray” [email protected], Billy Ray is the local Mafia Boss on Face Book and continues to serve and mentor the squadron personnel as the career advisor. When Bill’s not busy guiding and advising members or flying a local night line, he may be ordering a “hit” on you….it’s just business, nothing personal.

SMSgt Debbie Merrill [email protected] Congratulations to Debbie on her selection to the Standards and Evaluation division representing the booms. Debbie came to us as an ART from Portland and brought with her much expertise and knowledge. I wish we had a little more to write about Deb but she doesn’t give us much ammunition…smart person!

SMSgt Kevin Beccard [email protected], Kevin (The Man) Beccard…he’s like one-stop shopping for us TRs! Another invaluable ART to the squadron…he keeps us laughing even when it looks like the mission has gone to S*%t. Anywhere anytime is his motto! HUGE Pittsburgh fan that had a helluva year!

MSgt Macias, Erika [email protected] Ea$y Money Erika continues to water her own eyes while conducting AR operations. After being deployed to the sandbox for a year, she came back to us with a new attitude and zest for the tankers…unfortunately that lasted for a New York minute. KL keeps her grounded in reality by reminding Ea$y that if it weren’t for some other “lean forward” folks….she may have to fly more than once or twice a month.

MSgt Letourneau, Karen, [email protected] KL what can we say?? How many “nice” rides does one person really need? Well, if you’re KL then the answer is three with a few motorcycles thrown on top of the mix. Unfortunately, the skies have been quiet since her unexpected departure from flying the boom but rest assured…she warns that she’ll be back in the saddle real soon.

MSgt Daril Anthes [email protected] “Do You Know the Answers” to the questions that Daril sends out to the Booms? Apparently, Daril enjoys testing the booms to see if they are actually reading them so he re-sends them and stands by for the barrage of emails. Go figure, no one says a word when everything is going along as advertised but the first time there is a hiccup or resend in this instant…you never hear the end of it! By the way, Daril is interested in starting a 756 ARS Wild Hogs chapter…

TSgt Willie “Super Fl y” Cooper [email protected] Super Fly has just returned from IB school and is ready to instruct KL when she returns. He continues to believe that one day the Redskins will be number one…the rest of us aren’t holding our breath as we have seen the downward spiral in Willie’s dreams as reality sinks in – best seen typically at Week 7. Congratulations on IB graduation!

TSgt Karim Kronfli [email protected] Karim aka “Dallas” but only while TDY at Altus joins Willie as a recent graduate of IB school. Karim’s objective this year is to secure an ART position within the 756 ARS…hopefully his qualifications rates for the KC-135R model. Again, congratulations on IB graduation!

22 TSgt Chris Ochoa [email protected] It takes a lot of energy to be Och. Now known as a FART (Former ART), Och is still digging his gig with the FAA and really enjoys being a TR. Och may be interested in joining the 756 ARS Wild Hogs chapter…along with Daril and Ken. By the way, has anyone seen the Och and Ken show or is it the Ken and Och show??

TSgt Steve Gasper [email protected] Won’t keep you laughing as much as the Ken and Och (KOCH) show, the Steve and Molly show is still very exciting. Recently married and soon to be three, Steve and Molly are gettin’ busy building their life together. Steve is our ART Scheduler and plans to mentor Karim as soon as he comes on board. Congratulations Steve and Molly!

SSgt Michelle Spencer [email protected] With Michelle working crazy long hours with the Capital Park Police her fellow boom operators start to miss her on UTA weekends and begin to wonder what she looks like. We occasionally receive a post card from her to let us know that she’s okay and misses us very much. She thinks she’s that crazy traveling gnome dude!

SSgt Kenneth Clonts, [email protected] Ken (I’m still a SSgt!?!) Clonts continues to amuse us and keeps us laughing with joke after joke on the UTAs. When he’s not flying the line every week making some extra $ma$h, he’s busy training Och how to look busy. He too is a Harley rider and would round out the Wild Hogs chapter at the squadron. What do you call a blond doing a handstand? Ask Ken.

SSgt Dana Fernkas [email protected] What can we say about Danastein?? She is one of our newest boom operators and not easily impressed…this kinda sucks for the booms that like to have their egos stroked. Dana came to us from the dark side – active duty and has been a great addition. She has been on a deployment overseas but we anticipate and welcome her return to us very soon.

SrA Ge off Ri chardson [email protected] Geoff (what does ALS stand for?) Richardson is a new arrival to the 756 ARS but not to the career field. He brings a lot of talent and knowledge to us from his time on active duty. Geoff lives on the Eastern shore in Maryland and is engaged to be married…we always joke with him by asking “who brings be sand to the beach?”

A1C Matthew “ Snake Bite” Oberlin [email protected] Snake Bite is a recent graduate of Altus. He’s interested in becoming an ART in the squadron…it’s good to have goals and objectives. We have high hopes for this young man! He currently has a near 50/50 take-off/cancellation rate. So if you looking to get some beans knocked out and see him on the schedule…reconsider another mission.

Inbound

Cory Thomas – Currently vacationing in Altus.

Daniel King – Inbound to BMT

Gone

MSgt An thony Bates, [email protected] Tony left to pursue another gig in the 756 Command Post operations. We miss him as a boom but very happy that he’s still a member of the family at the 756 ARS.

MSgt Darryl Hines Darryl retired from the military with 30+ years…We wish him well and miss that awesome gold tooth smile!

SMSgt Kevin Warren Kevin retired from the military with 20+ years finally found another job closer to home. He enjoys calling us every UTA to let us know how happy he is to have been able to sleep in. We wish him well!

MSgt Frank Gilliard Frank retired from the military with 20+ years…We wish him well! Frank left behind a legacy for us…his son is one of our newest pilots!

SMSgt Paul Westbrook Paul retired from the military with 30+ years…We wish him well and sincerely miss our own Boomhauser!

23 TSgt Lee Dachman Lee retired from the military with 20+ years…We would like to wish him well but he seems to have vanished! If anyone comes into contact with Lee, tell him we said HOWDY!

ARLINGTON, VA

ANG BOOM FUNCTIONAL MANAGER

As many of you know, I’ve only been here at Crystal City since August when I replaced Chief Santos as the ANG Boom Functional Manager. I would like to thank Chief Santos who has been a strong advocate for the ANG boom community. He has moved up the ladder to the CEA/EA CFM position and is now the advocate for all ANG enlisted flyers. I know he will represent our interests well in his new position.

Between the move from Spokane Washington to Washington DC and the very busy travel schedule this position requires, the time is flying by. I am hoping to meet with, fly and perhaps enjoy some liquid refreshment with each ANG tanker unit during my time here as your functional manager. Thanks to all of you for your warm welcome and support.

The Operations Tempo has tested us at times, but we’ve met the challenge with tremendous volunteerism. It is a true testament to the dedication and patriotism of our people. The Air National Guard is experiencing unprecedented change. It’s not always easy, but we always adapt and overcome. I’ve had the privilege of working with Boom Operators from the Active Duty, Reserves, and the Air National Guard and feel very fortunate to be associated with such a dedicated and talented group of people.

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 Mainiacs. After surviving a back to back IGX/NORI, we are currently in the middle of Block 40 conversion, and doing our part to support Homeland Defense and the “War on Terror”.

The Full Timers:

CMSgt Robert Phair: (Slick) The Boss finally went to camping school. Too bad he had a criminal number to go with his sleeping bag and pack. We are sure he got to rub elbows with at least a couple of old heads that were just dying to get out in the wilderness.

CMSgt Bruce Geroux : When Bruce isn’t keeping us all in line, he’s either planning or executing an extreme adventure. He’s probably the only boom to have been into the flight levels without being on an airplane.

SMSgt Jay Ellingsen: (Schmeg) Stan Evil guru – Cargo loading guru, is always busy riding fast things in his spare time. Not much spare time lately, as he has rebuilt his Harley a half a dozen times.

SMSgt John Haney: Still our Tanker Task Force Boom. If you haven’t run into him in the field as a mission planner, you haven’t flown a Coronet mission in a while. His suitcases get worn out quite frequently. Every day John looks more and more like the bouncer on Jerry Springer.

MSgt Dan Benner: (Dano, Minuteman, Pinky) Dan is our Training Flight guy and is busy keeping the Block 40 Training Folders up to ASEV Standards. Tough job, with the “Tasmanian Devil” ( aka Chief of Training Flight) riding herd on him. He is still convinced there is a place in the NASCAR Hall of Fame for Ricky Craven.

MSgt Jim Dickson: (Jimmy D’Vin) Jim is our SELO guy, and a devoted disciple of Ronald Reagan. We send him out at 0800 for noon coffee. Rumor has it, he has had a close encounter with a White Rhino at one time or another.

MSgt Fergus Kenny: (Boggy) Ferg is now keeping the Chief entertained in the Boom Office, with his Donny stories. Who’s Donny? Oh yeah, his buddy, and if you’ve got a couple of hours, he’ll tell you about him.

MSgt Gerry Martin: Scheduling guru and our newest evaluator, on his off time you’ll find Gerry roaming the Northwoods, hunting down innocent young grouse. He often forgets what the daily bag limit is.

MSgt Ray Rauscher: (Ray-Ray The Belly) is one of our Current Ops/TTF guys now. He got his first taste of snowmobiling last winter with the boys. He found himself chest deep in the white stuff more so than he was on the trail.

MSgt Ed Seymour: (Sped) Sped works in Current Ops and lately has been sticking close to home. However, he is always looking for an excuse to attend a good conference. After reading in the Boom Signal, that Rizzo wasn’t the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, Sped is elated he might be.

The Part Timers:

SMSgt Scott Hesseltine: (Mr. Hydro) Round 2 at the local power company, working for The Chief’s brother.

SMSgt Carla Cyr: Carla will be retiring this year, which should free up more time to spend at her Ponderosa on the lake.

26

MSgt Chris B oucher: (Bushy) Stealth boom. Seldom ever seen and hardly ever heard plugging away at his active duty retirement.

MSgt L aurie K arnes: Laurie has a very full plate with three kids, husband, managing property, and working at a local hospital. She does find time for the Guard.

TSgt Mark Doughty: ( Stretch, Chuck) The man with the most toys wins. Hello, my name is Mark Doughty, what can I do for you today? Also goes by the moniker “Superboom”.

TSgt John Fidler: (J.J. Buzzsaw, Shocker) John learned how to whisper in a saw mill.

TSgt Paul Harriman: (Paul A. Moochie, Booze Bag, now Booze basket) There are defined zones we all encounter in life. We now have “The Paul Zone”. He’s now on the Blue Angel’s hit list.

TSgt Asa “Miso” Honey: Still working part-time at Margarita’s Restaurant (Maine/Mexican?) and is always searching for his favorite beverage as he calls it, “delicious Bud Light”.

TSgt Ronald Martell: (Viet-Ron, Joe Peschi) My cousin Vinnie. Straight from Vietnam to the Boom Pod.

TSgt Andy Robichaud: (Robi) Is now married to the love of his life, and they are expecting. Another excuse for the UTA excusal form, or last minute request for time off.

TSgt Shawn Stroup: (Stroupy, Stroupaloup) On his way to the clinic as an Officer, and currently writing a book titled, “How to pass an interview and get hired.”

SSgt Josh Grant: Who? Stealth Boom.

Retirees:

CMSgt Joe Philippon (Good Time Charlie) CMSgt Glenn Prewitt (Spider) CMSgt Stan Hunter (C-Don) CMSgt Chuc Halsted (Hostler) CMSgt Sonny Reynolds (Hey-Boom) CMSgt Ed St.Heart (Street) SMSgt Jim Wood (Skybird) SMSgt Cheryl Martin (Skid) MSgt Joe Gifford (Joe-Fred) MSgt Peter Lerette (Pete) MSgt Arthur Stevens (Art) MSgt Mike Purcell (Mike) TSgt Kympton Lovely (Plympton) TSgt Bob Rice (Clem)

Former Booms doing us proud:

Maj Tim Marquis (Marathon Man) Navigator Lt Col Rick Thompson (Kid) Stan/Evil Pilot Capt Andy Shuman (Shu) Wing Finance 1st Lt Derek Gilley (Shrek) Altus TSgt Jessica Whitehouse (Giggle-Burp) Married a Pilot, and is now the Clinic Training Manager TSgt Jason Dupuy (Zippy) Moved on. TSgt Mike Stevens (Little Shaver) T-1 Pilot

“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 2008! We hope that 2009 will be a better year for us. We’ve spent many days supporting AEF’s. We have spent many hours retraining the “old heads” and training our “new heads”. 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, 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 2009 BAMA BOOMS ARE:

CMSgt “BUTCH” Turner: IRPM: Chief Boom: And HEAD Indian Chief: (Technician, GS-11 Supervisor): Now that our new Chief has taken this bull by the horns, he can be found skating up & down the halls trying to find out more information on how to really do this job. If you think he had big eyes before, he really has big eyes now and his hair seems to be a red color at times. Do the words, “New Sheriff in Town” ring a bell? In just a few weeks, he has managed to get rid of boomers (to a better job, if there is one) and hire some new babies for us to train. Things are really looking up here. He’s doing a great job and is a pleasure to work with…. Just ask him!!! He had to give up his leadership role as the leader of the notorious “HOG-GANG”. Still has his Harley but seems to have a few run-ins with the local police…… ILLEGAL U-turns and cooking “liquids” or something. After 4 years as the Chief, he has now caught up on the last eight years of APR’s. Busy, busy, busy…….

SMSgt Rick (Is it 4:30 yet?) Dillard, (AGR): Well, he’s still in STAN/EVAL. Talk about bad luck…. Made a fishing bet and lost. He had to wear a dress to the FOD Walk. It was heard that he looked like double-wide trailer trash. Once saved forty beers from a refrigerator fire. Seems to be looking for 4:30 everyday for some reason. Still a closet member of the “HOG GANG”. Got a new HOG and really enjoys the open road looking for 4:30. Bought a new boat and he can be found on the water putting out engine fires….. refrigerator…boat…??? Have another one Rick!!

SMSgt Caroline(“Granny”) Bearden (Technician): Caroline was finally located again in the vault. She still has the same hair color and hasn’t changed it in almost 3 years now. I think being a grandmother three times has put a damper on hair coloring. She was last seen with three grandchildren hanging off her Jeep that she bought from Shane. She says that she will not drink any water at her daughter’s home. Hummmmmmmm? Also, the most accurate rock throwing boom at Birmingham. Just ask the cops in Turkey.

SMSgt Len (there’s nothing left for me t o buy, so I’ll built me a new house) Naugher, (Technician): Len has bought everything known to man. During the building phase of his new house, he might just have to acquire a new wife. House building and wives are not a good match. Congrats are in order. Len & his wife are fine, but now we think he may be broke. He never spends any money. He flew as a corporate pilot for awhile and spent the rest of his life savings. Lost millions in the boom snack fund market. He has a big heart and is a good person. He ran a home for wayward booms for a couple of years. This new house will have plenty of room (5,000 sq. ft.) of living area for the next generation of wayward booms.

28 MSgt Paul (Hey R ick, “ It’s 4:30!”) H udson, (Technician): Paul is doing an outstanding job in Current Ops. He is the resident computer GURU and walks around with his little tool kit installing DVD drives, etc. 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 even knows the combination to “THE DOOR”!!!!

MSgt A.J. (I need days ‘cause I’m non-current!!!) Sharit, (Traditional Guardsman): AJ is now the happiest person on earth. 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, three times”. This will be AJ’s third 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. Always wanting a new checklist. He is still looking for his keys. Thinks he left them in the Azores, again. Has anyone seen them?

MSgt Steven (S adsack A irways) Pickett, (Traditional Guardsman): Steve is doing fine. He just received his MASTER SERGEANT BOOMER DEGREE!! He spends lots of time 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...”Sadsack Airways”… Always has something going on. Probably the richest & busiest man in the world, next to Bill Gates. He has more money than it takes to burn nine wet mules at one time.

MSgt Todd (Big Head Red/Nine Fingers) Murray, (Technician): Todd is our current Training GURU. On a recent hunting trip, he was field dressing a deer when his knife slipped. Ended up with some stitches and therapy sessions. We now hide all the knives in the squadron. His new hobby is cooking liquids with the Chief…(He likes 4:30 also). Finally got his house built and now spends his spare time repairing vehicles that his son has crashed. Joined a Jeep riding club, Rock throwing club and now is the newest member of the B’ham Pistol shooting Team…. Oh no…way to go 9-thumbs!!

MSgt Tony (“Two-Toes”) Boykin: (Traditional Guardsman): Tony has been with us for awhile. He’s been TDY a lot and tells us everyday that he’s finally moved to Birmingham. Old “Two-Toes” is really light on his feet. He likes to move them around a lot, especially around 4:30 or so. Always on the move. Likes to play golf and he hangs out in STAN/EVAL around 4:30 everyday. Usually has a problem standing after 4:30. He smiles all the time….What’s he up to?????? (Check the past boom list)

TSgt D ominic (“TCN”/I Like Altus C FIC) A ngeles: (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 likes brass poles because rumor has it, he was on one not too long ago. Loads of fun.

MSgt P hillip (Movie S tar 2 ) Carroll: (Technician): Well, Phil got the job. He’s only had three in the last three years. Seems he can’t make up his mind which one he wants. Past summers, 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 have to take his new bride with him from now on. That’s right… He dove in there! Congrats are in order. I hope Mrs. Carroll will like her new family (US)!!!!!!!! Stared in the movie “Broke-Back Altus” with Dan. He’s too scared to like 4:30. Flipped a coin with Dan and got promoted….. I think he called a leaner!!!!!

TSgt Dan (Movie Star 1) Graham: (Technician): Dan starred in the movie with Phil Carroll and it won a Boom Academy Grammy Award. The two are always together and seem to enjoy each other’s company. The future TDY’s are going to be something. They achieved “STAR STATUS” together at Altus when the movie “Broke-Back Altus” was released. Stay tuned for further details. 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…..hummmmmmm….

TSgt Jefferie (The Sponge/Joe Rocket) Grayson: (Traditional Guardsman): We can’t find anything that he doesn’t like! He soaks up all information and is usually pushing the instructor force beyond their limits. Goes TDY a lot and loves to ride his motorcycle, even in the rain, and cold….. hummmmmm. He is really a good asset to this unit.

MSgt John ( Bean) F reeman: (Traditional Guardsman): Bean was our current ultimate fighting champion. He was undefeated when the girls try to “tie him down.” He will say anything and I mean anything when the girls start to get serious. Hot off the Press!! He finally got serious and threw away the bull-pin. That’s right! He left it to Dan. Bean popped the question and now he has a ready made family. He can be found at home cutting grass, doing dishes and laundry now. He finally paid me the $25 for bringing his German beer home for him.

29 SSgt Scott (I ain’t scared, unless you have a Taser) Slatton: (Traditional Guardsman) : The only boom I have ever known that can jump out of a frying pan and back into the same frying pan. The guy has more irons in the fire than anyone I have ever known. He quit talking to lawyers, always on the internet, running from the law and flying at night. Now has a new business brewing beer (Wobblin’ Goblin’ Ale). He is the newest member of the Cullman Coalition and has quite a gun collection. Still trying to figure him out.

SSgt Wayne (Dr. of Love) Creel: (Traditional Guardsman): New baby boom just born out of Altus. He is a tall, fine, skrong looking man. I don’t think he can talk. He hasn’t said three words since he came to us. He listens really well. 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.

SrA Mitchell (Really, I’m happy to be here) Harwood. 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. Seems like a good time was had 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.

PAST BOOMS:

CMS “Dickie” Drake, EX-IRPM (Technician): Boom Stowed: April 2006. CMS Don Doyle (Traditional Guardsman): Boom Stowed: 2005. Ex-MSgt/ Now 1st Lt. Steve (Taste this deer venison) Hay, (Ex-Traditional Guardsman): Boom Stowed: 2006 MSgt Shane (I want to be a boom operator…. I mean a Pilot… or just an ordinary AGR, or I’ll even take a Recruiter job as a last resort) Rogers, (Ex-Technician): Shane also left the boom world in 2005. The BRAC really scared him and he jumped ship like a scared Navy chick. We think we may have found a job that he is really good for. Recruiting for the Wing. SMSgt Nate Wilds (retired) MSgt John Berringer (retired) SSgt Jerry Davis (medical) TSgt Beth Manning (discharged) CMSgt Mary Washburn (retired) SSgt Mark Bryant (discharged) SMSgt Herschel Young (medical) SSgt Ray Yoel (discharged) TSgt Scott Newton (went color blind) SrA Jared Ling (discharged) MSgt Scott Naden (medical) SrA Alan Cox (Got married and changed his mind about becoming a boom) MSgt Phil Lee (retired in 08). Boom Stowed. SrA Mistie Alford (Palace Chase) Commitment Served. Discharged in Feb 09 TSgt Shannon (Jones) Whaley. Discharged, then married an 117ARW B’ham Pilot. WOW! SrA Matthew Scales (medical) 2009.

“FLIGHT TEST OPS”

CMSgt Drummond - After 8000+ hrs of flying the chief thought it was time to get a manicure, throw on a skirt and become the 412 OG's newest admin assistant. By day he is the Groups EPR monitor and by night he is a part time treasure hunter. I think he has walked just about every square inch of the Mojave looking for anything interesting from aircraft crash sites to pretty flowers for his desk (completely ignoring the "restricted area" and "keep out" signs). Once he gets the secretary thing out of his system (might be a midlife crisis) maybe he will come back to flying!!!

SMSgt Kibler - A.K.A Donald Trump. Still working on buying up the Antelope Valley. He somehow managed to survive the housing slump. Upgraded from slumlord to landlord!! Still the flight test center SME for A/R.

MSgt O’Connor - Still can’t believe his luck landing an AGR job at Edwards. Quickly gaining experience in the flight test business and loves the job. Just wrapped up working as a movie extra on “Ironman” and ‘Transformers II”. It would be a shame to lose him to Hollywood!

MSgt Eyre - We think Craig entered mid life crisis mode after his dog passed...he mastered motorcycling and moved on to 4- wheel drives. With gas prices as they are, he's honing his motorcycle skills just a little more and tuning up his bicycle. He's happily returned from his OEF/OIF deployment and is amazed with the work you guys are doing; 111 days made him feel his age but he still refuses to act it. His work will leave the AF a better place and make a great Country song.

TSgt Hoornstra - Olivia and Jeff just bought a 16 bedroom house in Beverly Hills. Savvy financial planning and a little elbow rubbing with the right people made it all possible. During the week, they live in a new home they keep locally. Olivia excels at running the office as well as her duties as a Test Boom. Nothing more could be asked of her except for a room in the Hills home...she won't share with anybody outside "the family." If you need info about JSF A/R, she's the one to ask!

TSgt Scurlock - Making a presence at Edwards as one of the newest Flight Test Booms. Also on track to pick up a qual in the real tanker (KC-10), that is assuming he can relax a little in his scheduling job.. right now he is on the fast track for a nervous breakdown!! Needs to remember he can’t please everyone.

SSgt Werner - Matt is the town hero but he won't tell us which town. We're assuming it's Fairfield because he just got back from KC-10 school as a DG...we're all impressed but didn't expect less from this shining star. He's got to be the hardest working guy around and all that work keeps him out of the office for weeks at time. He must be hitting the juice while on that 1.5 hr commute to work every day.

SSgt Moon - Made it down from Fairchild last summer. Often makes the long commute to the base with SSgt Werner. After less than a year working different projects in OGT we moved him down to Test Ops to get involved in many of the upcoming tests. He and his wife welcomed a new addition to their family early this year. They adopted Erik via a long trek to Germany and haven’t slept since then.

AFOTEC Detachment 5

Greetings from sunny southern California!

Well, I haven’t been down here at Edwards even a year yet and I’m already missing the operational flying. Heck, I’m missing flying all together! I’m currently assigned to AFOTEC Detachment 5 as the sole operational test boom working on the ever elusive KC-X project. Needless to say things have been very slow as of late. I would imagine you are like me when I volunteered for this job and are wondering what the heck AFOTEC is. The Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center is a direct reporting unit with the purpose of testing equipment in an operational environment. Basically, when KC-X finally shows up we will take it out to test it against the operational requirements AMC has asked for with the new tanker. We will then send the report card up to AMC and they will make the decision whether or not to initiate full rate production of the aircraft. Hopefully if the planets align this time and we will see a request for proposal this summer with potential contract award late ’09 or early ’10. Once we get it, I will do my best to ensure we have a good product to replace the good old -135. Until then I will keep daydreaming of flying.

Take care out there and fly safe!

168 ARS

Greetings. It has been a busy year for the 168th. Along with our 24 hour Alpha alert line supporting air sovereignty, we finished our block 40.4 conversions. Operationally in January we flew into Bagram supporting Aero Med Evacs, and have another one scheduled for June; AEF rotations in Al Udeid, and Curacao; Exercise flying in support of Northern Edge. We also started our first ONE (Operation Noble Eagle) line last summer and has been a great opportunity for traditional booms to earn some paydays as well as earn the medical benefits that come with it. With all of our deployments and operational missions, we have had our hands full and are trying to accomplish an enormous task of flying 4000 hours this year. Even with only 8 tankers and at times have had up to 25% of our boom force DNIF, we are on pace to reach that goal. A special thanks to our maintenance and ground folks who make flying tankers in Alaska possible. Feel free to contact us anytime at [email protected] or call the boom pod DSN 317-377-8836, commercial (907)377-8836.

Current

Chief Paul “Nooner” Nunemann (AGR) – Our newly appointed Chief Boom. Claims that we are all his “children”, but he likes to leave us a lot on TDY’s.

SMSgt Steven “Forgooey” Forgue (AGR) – Is now our Tactics Boom and has to spend his day locked up in the vault. We make sure to fly him at least once a week so he can get some fresh air.

SMSgt Keith Henrys (AGR) – As the new Stan Eval Boom, he spends most of his time fixing PEX and inputting FCIFs.

MSgt Sean Cain (AGR) – Now has two kids, and seems to have found a home in the scheduling office.

MSgt John Duhaime (AGR) – Is now a proud father, and is finally off DNIF. Is currently pulling the rest of his hair out getting ready for instructor school.

MSgt Curt Gipson (TRAD) – Recently deployed to Al Udeid and then discovered upon arriving back at home that he was going blind. We hope he will be off DNIF before he retires.

MSgt Kendra Halbert (TRAD) – Our “mother” boom, who is always making sure people have what they need, and making sure people are careful on the ice.

TSgt D awn Boyer (TRAD) – Spends most of her time pulling alert and getting Gardella recurrent. She also recently experienced some Al Udeid injuries and hopes to recover soon.

TSgt Rob Carr (TRAD) – One of our true traditional booms that works for CE, Rob does not prefer to pull alert or go TDY but we have been able to twist his arm lately.

TSgt Tanna “Queen B” Carter (TRAD) – Tanna had her third child last year, and still signs up for every Hickam trip and enjoys pulling ONE.

TSgt Keith “K-Fed” Rowan (TRAD) – Our newest instructor who didn’t waste any time starting to get Duhaime ready for instructor school just two days after getting back from school.

TSgt Rich Smith (AGR) – Rich is enjoying being in training flight, and is looking forward to having new booms to train.

34 TSgt Christian “Willey Cat” Willey (TRAD) – Has set a record for pulling more alert days in a month than ever before. Has taken advantage of being one of the few traditional booms to pull alert and is looking forward to his two months off from his standby days.

SSgt Brian “pocket sized boom” Binkley (AGR) – Helped kick Brett Ayres out the door so he could get his AGR job.

SSgt Rob “O2” Ostrander (TRAD) – Still is recovering from a long night in Norway. He’s married now and hopes to be back to flying this year.

SrA Pete “Who?” Gardella (TRAD) – I think he is MR, but still gets the luxury of flying with an instructor every time he comes to town.

Departures

SMSgt Brett Ayres (Retired) – Gave up the tanker world to go work as a civilian for the 18th Aggressors here at Eielson as their PFPS guy.

TSgt John Beaudreault (PCS) – Got a job down in America and hopes to join a guard unit down there.

TSgt Corrie Elmes (Cross-train) – Has decided that he is too good to be a boom and has been accepted for pilot training. He leaves the end of June.

92 ARS

“HOME OF THE BLACKHAWKS”

92 ARS Superintendent – SMSgt Jim Pittman (EB): We think he really loves his job. How can he not, especially with all of the endorsement money he pulls in for being the spokes model for a certain high-quality liquid cleaner. Seriously though, he is a welcome addition to the squadron, his mere presence makes any boom wet themselves. Just don’t ask him about the Medical Lake Triathlon.

A-FLIGHT

Flt. Sup. – SSgt Angus “Black Angus” Burns (MB): Gus is a former MX guy who decided that getting dirty sucked. He has been here for about two years, and has been a flight sup. for about…..two years. His hobbies include hunting down Airmen to ensure they get their pre-deployment checklist done in a timely manner, and disappearing during his CTO.

Asst. Flt Sup. – SSgt Chris Massey (IB): Former Marine who hates everything, except Twinkies and Vesser (they both voted for Obama so he could lift the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy”). Thinks all baby booms should Q-3 every check-ride.

SrA Brendan Balko (MB): This guy never shuts up and we would really like if he would just stop yapping for like 5 minutes. Seriously, is it so bad just to have thoughts in your head instead of saying everything that comes to mind?

B-FLIGHT

Flt. Sup. – SSgt Chris Huber (MB): Another former MX dude. He’s been busy making babies this year (well he only made one, but he practiced all year long). He keeps the reins tight in B-Flight. When he isn’t at work, you can find him at EWO/CCP working on EPR’s.

SSgt Kevin Wilson (MB): Kevin was DNIF for about a year with bum ankle. He was able to work on his golf swing a lot during that year though. Funny though, as soon as his flight pay was in peril, he was able to safely egress the jet.

A1C Nicole Boston (MB): Just got back on flying status after becoming a new mother. Guess where she’s at now, at least she’ll be able to sleep in.

A1C Lauren Powell (MB): Brand new baby boom, we don’t know much about her yet. She is taller than Sarno though (who isn’t?).

C-FLIGHT

Flt. Sup. – SSgt Jason Grant (MB): Another former MX dude who busts chops around here now as a Flt. Sup. We can’t seem to keep him from going to CFIC, no matter how hard we try to give away our slots. He will be our newest instructor come July-ish.

Asst. Flt. Sup. – SSgt Greg “Scrat” Sanders (MB): Greg is mission-ready again after being DNIF for a while. He also got to work over at the OG, while he was DNIF, which is probably the reason he is back on flying status now.

36 SrA Chad Holloway (MB): Likes to think of himself as the “beer pong king”. However, the millions of house rules he enforces make the game more difficult than keeping Liskooka away from underage girls.

SrA Kenneth Heerman (MB): If you ever have a question about “World of Warcraft” just ask this guy. It’s no big deal he’s just a level 76 Fire Mage, which means he can kill you with the click of Ctrl-F. He also just got married (like 5 min ago).

A1C Andrew Lopez (MB): Andy is a tough as nails Florida who likes to go TDY and live the pseudo bachelor life while his wife is in college in Florida, which pretty much means he walks around in his underwear all day long.

AWARDS & DECS

SSgt Chelsey Johnson (MB): Chelsey kills time by riding her motorcycle in the warm months, and deploying. Which deployment is this Chelsey, your 18th or 19th? We can never keep track.

SSgt Dwight “Big Delicious” Miller (MB): Big D went camping in the Alaskan wilderness this year. Grizzly bears are now extinct. He also made a blanket out of rabbit pelts (they were baby rabbits), and uses it on deployments.

SCHEDULING

NCOIC – SSgt Michele Wordekemper (MB): Funny, now that Michele works in scheduling, she seems to be going on a lot of awesome trips. Well at least she was until the ADO/DO took that TDY scheduling rights away from her. Now she mostly gives awesome briefs during squad roll call.

SrA Justin Holbrook (MB): Holbrook has a laugh pretty much stolen from Krusty the Clown. He ruined a good trip to Vegas in ’08 by being underage. At least the roller coaster at “New York, New York” was fun, sadly they didn’t serve beer in the line.

SrA Kevin Matthews (MB): Seriously, who is this guy? We have seen him a few times, but we don’t think he has ever said a word. He thinks he can play some hoops, but in the end he is just another white dude with “hoop dreams”.

SAFETY

NCOIC – SSgt Joe Royer (MB): Our suspicions about him were confirmed when he went number 2 on the jet during pre- flight while it was -20 C outside. He keeps “busy” in safety now, forwarding e-mails from AMC. Loves to play “flying disc” downtown at Salami Park.

SrA Steve Cantu (MB): Cantu finally got issued a flight suit, and uses it on deployment after deployment.

STAN/EVAL

NCOIC – TSgt Ted “Bundy” Buit (EB): hehehehehehehehehehehehe that’s the noise a starting motorcycle makes, it’s also Bundy’s laugh.

SSgt Gabe “Ragin’ Cajun” Ourso (EB): Gabe is a Kadena import; however he didn’t bring any locals with him. If you want to see him “rage” just ask him about Nick Saban, or bring up the fact that SEC football sucks (mostly because of LSU).

SrA Joshua “Corky” Butts (MB): Butts’ special ability is to be able to wear three polo shirts at a time, all with popped collars. He finally kissed a real girl(?) this year, we are all happy for him.

TRAINING

NCOIC – SSgt Randy Miller (IB): First man ever to simultaneously smoke, dip, wear a patch, and drink a Red Bull at the same time. Somehow his heart rate barely spiked above “deceased”.

NCOIC (at least his EPR says he is) – SSgt Tom Vesser (IB): The oldest active duty doom. He has to be at least 50 by now, at least that’s what he tells the Flight Doc, so he can get the “special” physical. He spends his time doing mating dances in Massey’s front yard.

37 SSgt Tony “Fatty” Montani (IB): Has been mistaken for Massey by more than one person in the last 6 months. He vows to stop being fat and bald. Every year when the Shock season is over he says he is going to try out, and every year he ends up watching from the sidelines.

SrA Jake “EXTREME” Sarno (IB): Jake is one of our new instructors. He loves to ride his bike whenever the weather breaks This picture is of him last July. Don’t make fun of him for his receding hairline.

SrA Geoff “Hair-Gel” Junt (IB): Geoff’s getting married and buying a house. After he gets out he wants to start a “party boat” business. Seriously….. We guess Red Robin wasn’t paying the bills anymore.

SrA McKayla Dick (MB): McKayla is the resident “dog whisperer”. If you have a stray dog, cat, hamster, lizard, chinchilla, parrot, horse, rhino, mouse, alligator, giraffe, tiger, fish, anteater, armadillo, liger, unicorn, or griffin she will probably let it live with her. Oddly enough, her future plans involve Veterinarian school.

ATTACHED/ON LOAN

92 OG/CCC – CMSgt Dan Wells (IB): Chief Wells is happy to be back in the real tanker after being forced to be a “Gucci- boy”. He was surprised to see that the 135 hadn’t put in pop-up rollers while he was gone, and immediately requested to go back to the 10.

92 OG/CCX – SSgt Luke Mailander (MB): Just got accepted to be an FE. It’s a good thing too, we are sure he was getting burned out from all of the deployments. Stay away from those C-130’s.

92 OSS/OSK – SSgt Thomas Nance (IB): Tom is working over in Tactics now, so we don’t see him too often.

92 OSS/OSOK – SSgt Jason “Likes’em big” Liskooka (IB): Kook finally got past his taste for the “big ladies” this year. Now he lives with a 19 year-old (Vesser’s sister-in-law), who will probably be pregnant by the time this is published, and a cat. He can finally drive past Michael Anderson Elementary school again, now that his probation is up.

92 OG/CCX – SrA Cierra Thompson (MB): Cierra is pregnant, so they gave her the job with the least amount of stress in the OG. Nice girl, but watch out, she has a mean streak and will literally kill you with a bazooka.

RETIRED/DEPARTED

MSgt (ret) Douglas “Spud” Micklich (EB): Retiring in early June. We heard he wanted to be a Wal-Mart greeter, but sadly they turned him down, since no one would get any shopping done. [email protected]

MSgt (ret) Hildie Frazer (MB): Retired in February. We have no idea how this squadron is going to pass any PT tests for a few months.

“MASTERS OF THE ART”

Squadron Leadership:

MSgt Mark Lett – Squadron Superintendent (EB): Was “rewarded” for being in the ORI by making SMSgt and getting an assignment to Alabama. Is that a reward? Have fun in the land of sweet tea!

A Flight:

SSgt Joe Koch (IB): So did you like it? How much? Sure. Did you have fun? (Insert Screeeeeeech Sound)

SrA Leighann Ray (MB ): Her new favorite game to play is “Who’s your Sergeant?” with her husband’s recent promotion.

SrA Justice Coker (MB): Having his first child later this year. “Wasn’t man enough to give us a son.” - That’s a direct quote from his wife.

A1C Michael Culver (MB): FNG #2

B Flight:

SSgt Will Perdew (EB): Another year passed and Will still has a creepy mustache. At least now he’s an Evaluator and people get to stare at it during checkride debriefs.

SrA Andrew Valence (MB): Maintenance’s favorite Boom, especially with trailing a MPRS drogue on the ground.

SrA Bryan Wilson (MB): “Good Deal Wilson” is one of the few “Mobbits” who hasn’t been to the Deid. He gets to break that cycle with a 120 deployment there as a TCN escort.

Amn Ashley Shupe (MB): FNGirl #1

C Flight:

SSgt Aaron Leal (MB): We thought he had PCS’d until he put in a leave request one day. However, he does come to work occasionally to use the Internet for homework and to go on AE missions.

SrA Cameron Murray (MB): Was man enough to have a son (unlike Coker). He’s currently joining the Guard in New York to be a firefighter.

SrA Larry Hamel (MB): Larry celebrated his one-year anniversary of leaving the nose gear ground down lock and release handle in. However, he can’t say the same about MPRS drogues being fully stowed while doing a preflight.

39 A1C Benjamin Girtz (MB): FNG #1

SSgt Aaron Ray (MB): Is now the same rank as most of the other 1,000 SSgt’s we have in the squadron. At least he’s gainfully employed with decoration processing and listening to his wife complain about TDY’s to Spain.

SrA Justin Thompson (IB): Had a “Poteet experience” at CFIC. He lost. He and his wife are expecting their first child and all single Booms with no kids (Soule) are hoping for a girl.

Stan/Eval:

TSgt David Nixon (EB): The squadron’s one-upper (minus Air Medals). He’s currently on his third deployment at Fairchild, second as Staff. Still has his wife boost him up when getting into his truck since he’s just a widdle guy.

SSgt Dan Ragone (EB): Lives with his sister in Spokane’s new “Animal House.” Hopefully she isn’t taped in any of his new “movies.”

Training Flight:

SSgt Ken Willia ms (IB): Just came up from Altus. Confused that ROBE works and that Fairchild only has two ARS’s now.

SSgt Aaron McLaughlin (MB): The Squadron Commander’s “favorite” Boom due to lack of email discipline. Aaron was rewarded by supervising Lainey Light.

SSgt Ken McLeod (IB): PCSing to Creech AFB to be Silok’s Predator sensor operator. He’s currently Craig Niswender’s sensor operator.

SrA Joseph Webb (IB): Found out you can’t drive a Dodge Charger with 22” through two feet of snow.

SrA Cr aig N iswender (MB): Goes DNIF for a “stiff neck.” He instructs at the A-10 schoolhouse via teleconference since he’s almost like an IP in the Hawg.

Scheduling Flight:

SrA Michael Russell (IB): Squadron POC for Swine Flu. He’s still waiting for his dream assignment to Altus (seriously).

SrA Shawn Thurman (MB): Chief Thurman had a rough year, and that’s just from being in scheduling.

SrA Aaron Tessmann (MB): Sweaty Jr. is still listening to Dokken while he schedules people for four hour pattern only sorties. He’s still heartbroken that his life mate, Jamie Almquist, craniumed on over to the WIC so he could fill his container of knowledge and go on countless Nellis TDY’s.

SrA Dirk Vanderlaan (MB): Dirk was happy to deploy to Turkey, just so he could go to Pop’s Leather and get a leather jacket that fits.

A1C Lainey Light (MB): Lainey is STILL working in scheduling. Now if she can only figure out that you don’t have to schedule the same people every week for CATM or Vault refresher.

40 Readiness Flight:

TSgt Lee Adkins (IB) : Leader of the “Good deal” clan. Got orders to Altus in 2008………. yet he’s still here halfway through 2009. Unless filing a travel voucher through DTS has a tendency to go strategic DNIF.

Attached:

SMSgt St even “ Opie” Flax (OGV) – ( EB): Had so much fun here at Fairchild, he decided to leave and go to Mildenhall just after 2 ½ years. We’ll miss you Opie, and please get us orders out of here too….just kidding….no seriously. On a serious note, some weeks he feels attached and some weeks on loan from the squadron but he’s never detached.

MSgt Scott Smith (92 ARW/XP) – (IB): Loves his job (well, we think that’s his job) as alert facility manager. Especially when notifying the Boom on ONE alert that his AC had just been arrested due to a Helping Hand.

SSgt Ryan Soule (OSS/OST) – (IB): After having both pilot’s beat up in Mildenhall by a Combat Controller, having two Helping Hands in a week, leadership thought he would excel at teaching new Booms. Way to miss mark on that one. Still lights up a room with his paleness and 15 year old looks.

SSgt Casey Darst (OSS/OST) – (IB) : Got picked up to be a pilot in the Alaska Guard. Casey is angry that he’ll have to cut his hair within regs and wear blues for five weeks of Guard OTS. Good luck!

Departed:

TSgt Chris Rueckert: PCS’d to Altus

SSgt Joseph Blakley: PCS’d to Altus

SSgt Brandon Johnson: PCS’d to Altus

SSgt Oliver Mendoza: Separated

SSgt Lindsay Moon: PCS’d to Edwards

SrA Jamie Almquist: PCA’d to WIC/future SERE instructor?

SrA Toni Fly: Separated

Mike “Sweaty” McPhee: Didn’t screw up enough to get fired. Currently does not have Swine Flu.

“KANSAS COYOTES”

Hello to all from the capitol city, Topeka. WOW, it’s been 5 years since we’ve had an input to the “Signal” and a lot of things have changed. Made it through the BRAC and (like most everybody else) upgraded to the “R” model. Right now, we just completed our NORI and are smack dab in the middle of our ORI. Hopefully, we’ll get a little R & R before heading to the “sandbox”. On to the current line-up:

FULL TIMERS:

CMSgt Tim “Mopar Man” Treinen – Program Manager: Took over for Chief May right after the BRAC. We’re all glad he threw away “Whopping Stick”.

SMSgt Jim “Chewy” Spur lock – S tan/Eval: Got board after the racing shoes were hung up, so took up competition barbequing. A lot less sheet metal to fix before the next contest.

SMSgt Scott “Jed” Clampitt – Training: Been busy with all the new young booms lately. In his free time, you can see him out buzzing around on the Ducati.

SMSgt Brian “Donkey” Dillon – UDM: Brian’s been buried with UDM folders and going “Mach 2 with his hair on fire” with all the prep for the ORI. Good thing he’s downstairs in a padded office with ‘lots of coloring books.

MSgt Jamy “Jackamo” Dunbar – Tactics: Jamy is living the dream down in Osage chasing the little ones around. Maybe someday he’ll finish that roof over his head, literally.

MSgt Mac “Smack Daddy” Torrez – Squadr on Boom: Took over the “get you paid” duties. His hair is starting to turn a little now after working with the finance office. Mac is also the “go to” guy when it comes to the local flights.

MSgt Jon “Cherry Boy” Swinney – Local Scheduler: Used to be a weekender building houses in the Kansas City area, now a full timer building the local schedule. He’s frustrated he can’t use his “laser level” on the schedule to get it straight. “KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN”

MSgt Wayne “Wayno” Walls – Stan/Eval: Moved over from Current Ops right before the last T.O. change. Ouch. Spends his spare time trying to get that “show car” on the drag strip.

MSgt Matt “Bow Wave” Miltz– Wing Plans: Recently buried in the “vault” getting ready for the NORI. Also, staying busy with the family.

TSgt Mike Mone y – Current Ops/Long Range Sched uler: Moved over to the trip planning side of the house. Looks like he’s going to be busy planning “sandy” ones.

TSgt Nathan “Split Tail” Neidhardt – Local Scheduler: Recent graduate from CFIC and is captain of the squadron softball team. Looking at our record, we need some more “hitting” instruction. Also a BIG Longhorn fan and has brought a lot of unity to the KU/K-State fans.

45

PART TIMERS:

SMSgt Mark “The Man” Sweeney : – Mark is still out there fixing phones for AT&T and cringes every time someone mentions “cable internet”.

MSgt Bryan Thomas: – Bryan finally left the “good life” as a regional airline pilot. Now he’s “Guard Bumming” and helping us out quite a bit.

MSgt Larry Kaufman: – Larry is the quintessential weekender. In the real world works for Flight Safety keeping the sim’s up and running at Raytheon in Wichita.

TSgt David Stanko: – Another commuter from the Wichita area. During the winter months, Dave likes to spend time dodging hockey pucks.

TSgt James “Dodo“ Norris: – For the first year James was with us, we never saw him. He spent a lot of time volunteering for overseas duty. Another recent graduate from CFIC and “Guard Bum”.

SSgt Jim “Wiz” Whisenhunt: – Jim’s been helping out a lot with squadron duties during these dark and dreary inspection days. Has one of the best quotes from a TDY when going to a seafood restaurant, “Anything that has more than four legs is a BUG”. Needless to say, he sticks with the steakhouses.

SSgt Colby “Ginger” Kloepper: – Keeping busy with college and watching the trip board.

SrA David Torrez: – Dave wanted more money so he got a job as a bank teller. It’s not his, but at least he gets to handle it.

SrA Joey “Ice Man” Sterbenz: – Joey recently got all checked out and is mission certified. The nickname? Don’t show up for a night flight wearing you’re gold framed Ray Ban’s. “That’s right, Ice…Man”.

Fresh from the School House:

A1C Megan “DNA” Carlson SRA Austin “Yogi” Reed SSgt Brandon “Boo Boo” Grey

Recently Departed:

CMSgt Ron May: - Still in the local area working on the “Honey Do’s” when not out fishing. SMSgt Keith Fulton: - Retired and working with FEMA. SMSgt Lee Perry: - Went back to work slinging iron in the KC area. MSgt Mark Mertel: - Still pumping gas. Works for POL on base as a civilian. MSgt Darrin Coash: - Got an officer position in the clinic pushing drugs. (Pharmacist) TSgt Bobby Honea: - Another one that became an officer, AND WENT ACTIVE DUTY.

That’s all for now from the great state of Kansas. Hope to see you all on the road.

TSgt Tim “Timmay!” Land: [email protected] – TSgt Land is still hiding from the squadrons at McGuire by continuing his evasive maneuvers at the place formerly known as the Warfare Center. Finally upgraded to a “real” truck. Resident gun freak – jumped the river so he could own more guns (and be closer to Sonic). However, all water towers at McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst are still on 24/7 surveillance. Got Tazered at the A/TA on camera. What wasn’t shown was the puddle left at his feet (see YouTube). Last standing resident at McGuire from the late 90’s boom class…..successfully avoided the mass non-vol PCS moves to Scott AFB.

“HOME OF THE RHINOS”

Brandon Ford – Last year Brandon moved to fill the Group’s Training Flight position and has done a wonderful job. He’s been on the bubble of re-enlisting or moving his family back home. This year he made his decision to head home. We’re sorry to lose a good man and a great boom operator but we do understand.

Paul Frownfelter –Proof Viagra does work! He and his wife had a new baby boy the same he received orders to Kadena. This summer he will be retiring after 23 years of service. We will definitely miss Frowny.

Patrick Booth – Ate too much snow. Shortly after getting up here he found the love of his life, got married and had a baby. Still hasn’t defrosted and confuses duty hours at home vs. work and runs his checklist while stowed within his flight bag. We didn’t realize he was in his CFIC role. …Chief would like to know who his proud instructor was.

Stephanie (Carter) (Taylor) Nygaard – She’s kept busy this year …currently occupying the position of NCOIC of the Training Flight. Steph is about to be a new Mom and will be separating soon.

Dylan “Mc Lov’n” McMullen – If there is a mud puddle he will find it and go 4-wheelin’ through it. Married his high school sweetheart. Life’s ambition, tub out a ’70 Cadillac and race it. Right now he is working on beefing up his Jeep Liberty to withstand the muddin’ he wants to do. He will be one of the Booms closing down the 905th.

Izzy Hanks – One of our newest old heads in the squadron. Izzy was just paroled from Altus and denies any responsibility to Booth’s training. Rumor has it that he has a 5th wheel camper for sale down in Altus but the two dogs that are sleeping underneath it go with the sale.

Shea Hill – One of the prestigious wonders in our Training Flight. Don’t get caught on one of her overdue lists, you might not live to regret it. She’s a true dynamo for the job. She is the reigning Squadron Ping Pong Champion, even pregnant she can beat anyone in the Sq. while spotting them 10 points. Shea’s working towards a commissioning in the medical field, currently she has a 4.0 gpa and may be too smart to be an officer.

Kurt Hinson – Left to join the ranks of Altus instructors. He did an awesome job as the SELO for the Stan/Eval office. We heard he provides outstanding instruction of how to remember to pull the nose gear downlock handle (x2).

Bryan Holcomb – Got tired of “working” as Boom Operator …(seriously?). Cross training to be an OSI agent. Since he never came to work we thought he was already an OSI agent …nothing but the best.

Jon Resckhe – Super dude. Married a Doctor, separated and hasn’t looked back. Huge loss for Team Grand Forks.

Geoffrey Schultz – Another great young man. Never a complaint and always does his best. He and his wife have another future boom on its way. He is currently working out of Training Flight keeping the Squadron up to date so we can deploy to the ever lovin’ sandbox.

Ryan Seifert – Another hard charger, NCOIC of the Readiness Shop and one of the Sq. security managers. Ryan’s making his move to OST to fill Brandon’s shoes. He and his wife are expecting this summer.

49 Nate Sisco – Before getting orders for cross training he proudly represented the 905th serving two terms in the Base Honor Guard. Jumping ship and cross training to vehicle maintenance around the June time frame and will be PCSing to Nellis.

Steve Swann – “Swanny” Great attitude with a solid work ethic. Always has a smile on his face and knows how to get the work done. A designated closer for the 905th.

Nick Robles – Partners in crime with Schultz, rarely seen but lots of accolades received. Has a cheap rate for rooms thru the billeting office and follow’s orders to a “T”. He is still wearing his reflective belt after the Wing Commander told everyone to do so. Had a bouncing baby boy last year all are doing fine.

Mike Ulmer – Mike resides in XP as one of the SIOP/ CCP folks.

Jeremy Welch – Willis tried talking him into the civilian life, but Jeremy decided to PCS to the WIC instead. Must be doing good because we haven’t heard from him since.

Robert Willis – “Willis” found himself a young lady who worked for a local news channel and can support him. The way she read of the farming futures must have done it for him. We’re hearing wedding bells from South Dakota.

Joseph Wilson – Holds the title for building a snow fort with his new 2007 Mustang on Interstate 29. Another Desert TDY monger who does his best to fly below the radar.

“HOME OF THE DAKRATS”

The mission of the 906th Air Refueling Squadron is to organize, train, and equip KC-135R/T aircrew members as a combat force multiplier for rapid global mobilization, worldwide deployment, aerial refueling, and airlift operations for the US and its allies. The 906th ARS enables Global Engagement by maintaining an all-weather warfighting capability in support of conventional and special operations, contingency taskings, and the nation’s Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP). The 906 ARS and its 58 personnel provide continuous global air refueling and cargo airlift capability in support of US and allied warfighting units. The 906th will be closing in June 2009; it’s coming faster than you know. If ever around the frozen tundra stop by and give us a call 701-747-4062.

BOOM POD LINE UP:

SrA Converse, Samantha K., [email protected] – Crew Dog extraordinaire. Sam’s doing great and should be ready for instructor upgrade soon. Looking for a good join spouse assignment once her hubby has TOS.

SSgt Danielson, Jered C. [email protected] – Sniper is an Flt Supervisor. He won multiple awards in ALS and received an EQ during the ASEV. He’s a great boom and will do well as an IBO.

SSgt Daniel, Lamar P. [email protected] - Crew Dog, EB on his way to Altus. He’ll be a great instructor and is looking forward to the family life at Altus.

SrA Hagene, Anthony J. [email protected] – Extended DNIF and near permanent Base Honor Guard member. The AF offered him two other jobs, but not having one suited him just fine! Good kid, separating.

SSgt Jefferson, Jerome E. [email protected] - Crew Dog, IB. Soon to go off to Tactics and is always on the lookout for a cool new job. Still single but looking now that Raab and Parker are gone. Missing his running buddies, but doing great stuff without the distractions…

SrA Knepper, Levi B. [email protected] - Crew Dog. Elvis had nothing on Knife’s sideburns. Chief follows him with a ruler and a level to check every day. Doing great with school and will likely be an IB soon. …Another guy who wanted BAH bad enough to get married.

SrA Madsen, Nicholas W. [email protected] – Crew Dog. ‘Fuzzy’ moved on base and smiles a lot more now. Must be the lack of gas bill because we know his moneys not spent at the barbers. Smart guy and a good boom.

SSgt Miller,Titan G. [email protected] – Crew Dog. IB. Doing great stuff. Got an EQ at CFIC and won the Academic Award at ALS. He’s even got a car now! Movin’ on up like George and Weezie! Titan has his stuff squared away.

A1C Williams, Shane C. [email protected] - Crew Dog. Got married and likes the winters much more now …this isn’t LA for sure. Shane has the distinction of being our last pipeline boom at Grand Forks.

51 ATTACHED BOOMS

CMSgt Elliott, Gary L. [email protected] – 319th OG Superintendant, EB. Supreme Cheese head and Poobah. He’s still one of the sharpest booms we got …too bad that isn’t saying much. He quit dipping and now MSgt Rix is going through twice as much …funny how that works. By the way, write- up those burnt out cargo compartment lights to stay on his good side.

DEPARTED

SMSgt Sidles, Jeffrey R. [email protected] – Pack Leader of the “Wild Hog’s, Grand Forks Chapter.” John Travolta he’s not but he sure got some looks with his new pair of chaps. Claims he ordered them off Ebay but looks more like they came of the shelf from the Plain Brown Wrapper… do ask. PCA’d to the 905th , EB.

SrA Marshall, Augustine P. [email protected] – Flt Supervisor, EB – now assigned to Altus AFB. Augustine was a big loss to the Squadron. We give Kristen all the credit for keeping him on course… he better be taking her out to lunch.

SrA Martini, Joshua R. [email protected] - Flt Supervisor – Depart AF. Recently purchased a motorcycle, unfortunately wasn’t wearing a helmet when he waived at the Chief and then almost took out a civilian. Infamous quote, “just because you drove 1,500 miles and paid $15,000 still doesn’t make you a biker.”

SrA Rodriguez, Jorge S. [email protected] - Crew Dog – North Dakota doesn’t possess enough dynamite to get this one moving. Good luck Opie, no one said the assignment system was fair. PCS’d Mildenhall RAF.

MSgt Viallon, Rodney J. [email protected] – Best damn KC-135R engineer. Retired and is living the sweet life outside Dillon Montana.

SrA Raab, Nathaniel [email protected] – Minneapolis Load, decided he wanted to work for a paycheck. It’ll be a nice change for him.

SSgt Powell, Blake B. [email protected] – Minneapolis Load. Bartender and Mr. Smooth …need we say more.

CMSgt Matt Tafoya – Retired. Absolutely one of the finest Chiefs I’ve worked with. Good head on his shoulders and took care of the enlisted. The Chief didn’t want any cake nor Laughlin AFB so he decided to retire. Living it up in Albuquerque, NM and doing great.

SMSgt Paul Greene – PCS’d to Randolph AFB. Left us last year but keeps in touch on a regular basis, we think he misses us. DG at the Naval Academy. The graduation picture was quite amusing …Paul was the only one smiling. Keep up the good work Paulie and thanks for keeping the Boom Signal going!

“HOME OF THE VIPERS”

Greetings all from the frozen north. This will be the last 912th Boom Signal from Grand Forks due to the squadron transferring to March ARB, CA. It has been a busy year due to folks PCS’ing, separating and PCA’ing to other squadrons.

BOOM POD LINE UP:

MSgt Sean Rix: (EB) Sean’s been doing great things this year. Had some boo-boo lip with the Squadron closing but has taken up residence in OGV …the pilots are now digging into their amplified/systems knowledge. He upgraded in Harleys and Shannon bought herself one too, but it’s Shannon who owns the leather chaps.

MSgt Ed “TALCE GOD” Smith: (IB) We all think Ed misses the TALCE! Just ask him about his TALCE stories and there will be days of your life you will never get back. PCA’d to the 905th and hasn’t changed one bit.

SSgt Paul Frey: (UB) Cross training to aircraft maintenance. Paul you will be missed in the boom field scheduling office.

SSgt Kamisha Smith: (IB) Works in the tactics vault, we are not sure what she does….just got orders to Birmingham. Schedules the Chief of TACTICS gym time.

SrA Chris Ramey: (MB) Getting ready for CFIC again with Child #2 on the way married life has given us a better Airman and Boom Operator ...it’s no longer Sean’s boot in his @$$, but Melanie’s. PCA’d to the 905th.

SrA Jon Flemming: (IB) Brand “spanking” new IB. Had himself a girlfriend and a spring in his step we’d never seen before …also the first time anyone has seen any dust on his collection. “Feeling the horn in the 905th.”

SrA Alan Champagne: (MB) The smartest guy in the world, just ask him. Just made SSgt and getting ready for CFIC. PCA’d to the 905th.

SrA Zachery “Peanut” Chamberlain: (MB) The smartest guy in the world, just ask anyone else. Don’t let the innocent look fool you. Tried asking a young lady out shortly after arrival …ends up she was married (thanks Chief). Ertle’s replacement here for flying the heavies. PCA’d to the 905th.

A1C Shawn Racchini: (MB) Baby boom doing great things all over the world. Squadron’s Boom of the Year. PCA’d to the 905th.

A1C Greg Bush: (MB) Another baby boom with a terrific attitude and doing great things. Had a physiological incident and ended up refueling in the ’buff …crappy deal from what we heard. Purell is not just hand sanitizer. OG Boom of the Year.

Departures

MSgt Chris Hargett: (EB) Chris is teaching at Hurlburt Field Fl. What a hard assignment.

SSgt Dave Thoresen: (EB) Dave got smart and went to the schoolhouse. Have fun at Altus by the sea.

53 SrA Curtiss Mills: (IB) Separated and going to school full time. It’s probably a good thing because Curtiss had had enough covering missions for someone else and was ready to remedy the situation. Good luck Curtiss.

SrA Joe Parker: (IB) Made SSgt and separated. Currently flying with March.

SrA Aaron Christensen: (IB) Flying the Predator at Cannon. The Intel we got was he is good with film.

SrA Jon Ertle: (IB) Flying the Predator at Creech! We heard Jon loves ACC. After crashing one predator he only has four more to becoming an ACE.

SrA Ben Gagne: Mr. VRod. (MR) Ben is PALACE CHASING to the guard to be an Air Traffic Controller. Good luck.

SrA Whitney Goliogwski: (MOM) New mom….getting ready to separate. She’ll be missed by many.

“THE DARK SIDE”

Greetings from the “Dark Side”. It has been another busy year for us, multiple AEF deployments, Activation, local training sorties and countless TDY’s, just to name a few. As we see our brethren enter the realms of retirement or move to other units, we welcome new faces into the fold. The upcoming year is already proving to be jammed packed with training, upgrades, and deployments. We look forward to seeing everyone we can out on the road, and offer up the welcome mat for everyone passing through Grissom. Come over to the dark side next time you’re in town for a cold refreshing beverage. Let’s all be safe out there and continue to provide the best tanker service in the world. NKAWTG!!!!!!!!!

Chief Boom: CMSgt Jeff “Buck” Henry: (ART): The force is strong with this one. The “Dark side” would like to welcome our new “Sith Lord”. He has dropped the hammer, requiring all booms to show up on time for flights, clean out the “Magazine” drawer, and enforcing a strict one case beer limit per person during the UTA weekend.

The Rebel Forces: SSgt Jason “Spaz” Bireley: (TR): Spoon is still living the high life. At last count, he has taken enough classes to earn 6 degrees. At the current rate, we predict he will have qualified for an actual degree sometime in 2015. He has taken the car lease program to an all new height. Instead of every 2 years, he can be seen in a new car every month, something about minor accidents “just keep happening”.

TSgt Jerry Cummings: (TR): Jerry is one of our new hires. He is working on his mission qual. He is looking to get back to his civilian job as an EMT. We are still trying to figure out if he likes being an EMT to meet the “older” women. We have heard that he gives mouth to mouth even if the patient doesn’t need it.

CMSgt Tony “Fans” Fansler: (ART): The Hammer is back in Stan Eval. Now that he has his empire back, he is working diligently on trying to implement monthly check rides, weekly “stump the dummy” contests and daily EPE’s, to help keep everyone sharp. You can find him trying to figure out how to earn credit and get paid for the UTA on the same day.

TSgt Mike “Trap” Garman: (TR): One of these days, trap might figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. After only 6 months on the road, he decided that intimidating families on vacation with his truck wasn’t working out. He is currently in flight school so he can intimidate business travelers on airplanes. The FAA’s incident response team has now been placed on 24 / 7 alert.

TSgt Ken “M agnum P.I.” Knight: (TR): Ken has become the first TR to figure out how to “double dip”. He has begun billing the state for his help in enforcing the speed limit while in the traffic pattern. He has also been spotted pulling ladies over on his way home from UTA’s promising to write them “only a warning” if they promise to go out on a date with him. He says the State police car and flight suit help keep his dating pool full.

TSgt Anthony “Ant” Krisher: (ART): Anthony is currently in Mission Development. This means the Booms are taking over the scheduling process. We have strategically placed another Boom in the back shops. He has given up his ground training duties, but can’t give away the Flight Line driving duties.

55 SSgt Zuriel “Rainboom” Lund: (TR): Z has been walking around singing “In the Navy” and wearing a Navy outfit. Too bad the Village People aren’t looking for a replacement. We think he is just looking to start his own boy band. He is looking to get his name tattooed on his lower back. We have also found out he has recently been hanging out at the Rhino room. We will leave that part to your imagination.

MSgt Butch “Tick” MacDonald: (TR): “Tick” has found it more enjoyable to ride the rails then fly. With that being said, we can go months between sightings. We have found it easier to treat him like a seagull, if we throw rocks at him; we can get him to fly just enough to stay current. Looking to retire April 2010.

SMSgt Laura “Gunny” McKee: (TR): Laura is another member of our part time boom, full time student program. When she is in the office, you can find her harassing her subordinates as flight Commander. EPR bullet statements: need more bullet statements. She is our resident sandbag expert. She just got back from 120 days of desert fun.

MSgt Mike “Leonard” Morgan: (ART): Mike was moved into mission development. It’s always good to have a boom planning the sorties, this helps keep the pattern work to the bare minimum. He is currently working on a plan to get the A/R track time with C-17’s down to a .2 or less.

Sra Crystal “Stevie” Nix: (TR): A year ago she was the “newbie” now with our recent hires she is considered an old head. She is fully qualified and looking to get on as many trips as possible. When not at her civilian job you can find her doing odd jobs around the boom shop.

MSgt Kym “Agent” Orange (ART): No, this isn’t a typo. In a moment of weakness he was hired on full time. Not only that, we were forced to take him. He’s doing a great job if you can ever find him in the UDM office. He has also inherited the Ground Scheduling duties. The change in status is good for the ART’s, now he spends his days harassing the reservists.

SSgt Jessie Rood: (TR): Another new hire in the squadron. She was originally hired by active duty, then had to revert back to her original job in the Air Force due to manning. We hired her and basically had to start from the beginning. When she is not here you can find her being a stay at home mom.

MSgt Paul “Piper” Sherrod (TR): Recently traded from the 74th, terms of the deal included promotion to MSgt and upgrade to Flight Commander. When he isn’t fighting fires or refueling airplanes, you can find him playing “Scottish Music” in a skirt. Still learning how to play “Free Bird” on the bagpipes, so don’t request it. Currently DNIF from aerobic activities. Doesn’t pay to get in shape.

TSgt Joe “Smokey” Swis her: (TR): Joe’s been getting a lot of practice with “High Speed Pursuits” lately. His latest “Pursuee” insisted “I didn’t see you” behind me at 110 mph for the last 3 counties. Look for his latest exploits to be a segment on “Wildest Police Chases”. Just don’t ask about the naked trucker hauling the greased pigs, it’s not pretty.

MSgt Kerry “Van-Tactics” Vanausdall: (ART): Tactics in the Tanker is very important. To help keep himself busy, he has begun work on some new “Defensive” procedures, these include placing rabbits feet on every airplane for “Good Luck”; Flying with a “Buzz” it hurts less if you don’t care, and placing “women of questionable morality” at each window to help “scan” for incoming during takeoff and landing. Recently made flight commander, this should be good for everyone under him, automatic 5’s on their next EPR.

MSgt Scott “Scotty” Ward: (ART): Scotty is working hard trying to earn the “Best Boom scheduler in AFRC” award. He has just completed a new phone recall program placing all the Traditional Reservist booms on speed dial in the event of unit activation. His latest project is a case study, How to make more money without working more hours?

Found Religion and moved to the 74th.

“FIGHTING RED TAGS”

Greetings from the 74th Boom shop,

It has been a very busy year for us with all of our deployments, mobilizations to two theaters, and exercises to get us ready for the next busy year. We have a great bunch of people in our boom shop and were always looking for some new talent from the active duty. Please come and see us, especially if you can make it for one of the Indy race events.

Chief Maier

CMSgt Jeff “Heffe” Maier (ART/Instructor) - As we speak, the Chief is deployed to the land of sun and sand. The locals cut off his 3 whole beers a day; he also loves wearing PT gear and a reflector belt full time. He has been running around camp trying to get the young active duty booms to listen to his stories from the good old days when he was a “god” in tactics. The Chief owns a Vet and Harley but they never see the light of day.

SMSgt Paul “Doogie” Houser (ART/Evaluator) – We want to give a shout out there to the boom field asking if any of Paul’s CCTS classmates are still on the books current and otherwise vertical? Any takers? Paul is over in training flight, still relieving the off going alert boom at between1630-1650. Viva “Doogie time”!

SMSgt Jim “Booger” Maxwell (TR) - Ole booger’ is out there on the rock at the moment. He has been seen stumbling out of the Viking at odd hours. If you have a multi-million dollar jet that needs a pilot, give him a call. Hire at your own risk.

MSgt Jerry “Shoe” Schumacher (ART/Evaluator) - Jerry is finding his fountain of youth by getting into high performance snowmobiling. The trailer he rolls the snowmobiles to Michigan in is bigger than most houses. Kate, his wife/old babysitter (don’t ask) seems happy visiting the life insurance sales office on a regular basis. Shoe is up in safety with his good friend Delbert. Hey, at least they have cable TV up there. You know Shoe, you don’t need a helmet.

MSgt Bryan “Dork” Hettinghouse (ART/ Evaluator /Flight Commander) – Bryan is 73 (+/-) 1.5 % done with restoration of the frat house. The pool table is in the dining room, racks of swords, knives, bludgeons, stabbing weapons, morning stars, Australian War Spears, and Notre Dame Memorabilia adorn the walls. We are just surprised he hasn’t parked the Harley in the parlor. He has been searching far and wide for retro orange shag carpeting. When you think of a “Man Cave” you mean Dorks place. Awesome!

MSgt Tim “Otis, or Monkey” Stibbe (ART /Senior Evaluator/Flight Commander) – Stibbe went behind the chief’s back when the word came down for activation and built himself a crew. He was half way out the door when he got ratted out and busted. His punishment was staying back here to cough up alert orders for the rest of the NDA’s (None Deployable Assets). Its ok, I think they were more afraid that his silverback instincts might flare up and he’d disappear into the jungle for months.

57 MSgt Doug “Mud Vein” Preece (ART/Cargo Evaluator) – Mud is the ground scheduler STILL for the boom shop. He takes care of the TR’s between his busy schedule involving: personal emails, phone calls from his lovely wife Gloria, and sports scores. Doug finally got activated! It’s only been 5 years since his last activation. Don’t worry Doug; Kym Orange will take care of Gloria for you while you’re away.

MSgt John “Old Spice” English (Instructor/TR) – John has been working out extremely well here in the 74th. He likes us so much he even took a spot to the sandbox. We have looked in the Guinness World Records but John missed being a first time daddy by only a few years!!! The monster Z-71 Chevy is being replaced by a grocery-getter van with “Kids First” license plates!! Congratulations Dad!!!!

MSgt Dave “Frenchy” French (TR) – Frenchy is still running his electronics store/cellular phone business. Well, at least that is when it doesn’t interfere with his firearm training. No Dave, that horse outside of the Dutch Café is not a target!

MSgt Drennen Gaffney (TR/Instructor/Flight Commander) – Drennen took over the job of flight commander for MSgt Preece. At least now we have a flight commander that will do something for the TR’s. Drennen has had a tough year with the Medical Squadron. He’s been DNIF for about 4 months now, and still going. Hey Drennen, maybe you should email them some more, explaining your problems! We hope to get Drennen back up and running ASAP.

TSgt Debbie “Yoko” Melton (ART) - Congratulations Debbie! She just got a full-time ART position. Debbie is on her way to the land of fun and sun, this will be her first encounter with the sandbox. After she returns Debbie will be going to CFIC “GOD help us”. I feel sorry for the CFIC instructor already. We’ll be sure to cheer her on back home…and rearrange everything on her desk. Debbie has been a great addition the ART field; good luck Debbie.

TSgt Chris “Nick” Nack (TR) – Chris was activated and deployed to Guam; while in Guam Chris decided to test his communication skills with the staff in Guam; Atta Boy!!! After that, he kept watching other crews come and go from Guam to many other parts of the Pacific, while Chris got to stay in Guam under the watchful eye of the staff. Overall Chris has been doing a great job around here, keep up the good work!

SSgt Rob “Mr. SOE” Faurot (TR) – Mr. SOE (Sense of Entitlement) is still a full-time student at IUK. Rob has been spearheading projects on several rooms in the squadron for squadron pride and beautification, as well as MANDAYS. If you would like a job please contact Mr. SOE LLC at the 74th Boom Shop. Actually Rob has been a big help, keep up the good work.

SSgt Brandon “Ogre” Toth (TR) – Toth is still a full-time student at Purdue. He did a deployment stint with us then must’ve hated us so much he went DNIF. We think it’s because he felt so horrible for crushing a poor, defenseless laptop under his mighty foot while deployed. Say it with us Toth ‘My strength is not for hurting’.

SSgt Josh “Lloyd Christmas” Fagerburg (TR) – Josh amazingly didn’t break out any of his teeth this year! Josh did a two month deployment and is doing another for the current activation. He needs the money to support his ‘imaginary’ Korean girlfriend, right Stibbe? Josh was actually promoted to SSGT this year. How did that ever happen? It must be a sign of the end times.

SSgt Joshua “Wicked Hot” Welch (TR) – Josh got back to us from boom school around last July. Surprisingly, he passed even though he did come from AWACs. He is doing very well and we’re glad to have him. Josh has been putting in his ‘dues’ on the latest activation. He is originally from the northeast where he talks about the days when he used to go to the ‘bah down by the hahbah’. Wicked awesome!

New Blood:

SSgt Vicki "Icky" Cummings (TR) – Vicki just recently got back to us from boom school. She’s already causing the government problems. I think they have her airshow quality flightsuits tailor made by Kids ‘R’ Us. She makes Dork proud. Actually we’re very glad to have Vicki and wish her the best in her new line of work.

58 Relocations:

MSgt James “Dusty” Baker (TR/Cargo Evaluator) – Dusty quit his ART job to move to New York. He got a full-time job working for a college. We think he just wanted to find himself some young college girl to hook up with. Haven’t heard from him in awhile, we hope that the college parties aren’t too much for him to bear.

59 HICKAM AFB, HAWAII

203 ARS

‘A’ OLE MAMAO LOA

(NEVER TOO FAR)

Aloha from Hawaii, land of the forever summer. We continue to be PACAF go to guys along with our brothers and sisters in the north from the 168th ARW in beautiful Eielson Alaska. The unit currently has one jet and two crews under TACC’s thumb doing AEROMED in our AOR, and one more tail coming up in July. Our AEF schedule has doubled in the past two years with deployments to Guam, CENTCOM, and SOUTHCOM. Having just completed our ORI from PACAF and receiving an “Excellent” from the IG left the unit with a little sour taste on everyone’s palate because we have been graded “Outstanding” in every inspection since our inception in 1992. The unit continues to take every task and assignment with vigor and drive to do our best. The boom operator’s of the 203rd ARS are among the finest in the total force.

Chief Boom: CMSgt Warren “Teflon” Faurot: Former Army Platoon Sergeant turned Boom; the Chief is keeping busy with an MPA tour and TACC tasking. Chief Faurot is an Engineer with the Honolulu Fire Department when he is not at the squadron. The father of four sons that continue to keep him guessing, he spends the majority of his time off with his youngest son, Isaac.

Boom Supervisor: CMSgt Steve “Disco” Cid: Beale Bandit probably the only one alive. Been in the Island since 1985, loves the sun and the blue water. He blends in the crowd on the west side of the island. Hoping to live longer to see the next KC-X, or maybe fly in it as a Space A's.

OG Stan/Eval: SMSgt Gary “Munch” Mau: Gary is our Stan/Eval dude in between his TDY trips. The owner of a corvette, (did someone say midlife?); he enjoys driving it to local car shows and swapping stories with other owners. Gary has always been a go to guy for our squadron on those “pop up” TDY’s that seem to surface pretty often here.

Commanders Support Staff: SMSgt Kris “Tizz” Oka: Tizz on special assignment in the squadron getting us ready for an active duty association and four additional tails. Tizz is married and has two children, a girl and a boy, that keep her in stitches and in the family car taking them to all of their activities, in a van, no, an Acura TL?

Training NCO: MSgt Eric “Chum” Faurot: Eric has been the bull in the china closet since his arrival in life support. Give him any task and he will see it to completion quickly and efficiently using his vast network of friends and family. Eric recently was able to purchase a home on homestead land that he quickly tore apart, extended, and renovated to his wife’s liking.

OSF Tactics: MSgt Mark “One Eye” Edwards: Mark is a Paramedic for the City and County of Honolulu. Currently on an MPA tour, Mark spends his time off working out, riding his bike, and planning the next adventure to Kauai’s beautiful Napali Coast. If anyone is going to take a vacation there, he is the man to give you the info you need.

Scheduling: MSgt Mark “Stay Puff” Sindiong: Mark is a force in our scheduling shop, ensuring enough trips to keep the squadron busy and motivated. Mark is another owner of a ZO6 Corvette and is hoping to convince his wife to buy him a new one once the wood floors in his house are done, good luck with that one!

60 Scheduling: MSgt Denny “Judo” Yoshikawa: Denny is the mastermind of our short range scheduling. With his cool demeanor and smooth talk he is able to convince even the most reluctant copilot that he really needs this sortie to make him a better pilot and support the squadron. No stranger to the bowling alley, Denny likes to take his kids and wife there for some R&R.

Current Operations/Mobility: TSgt Noa “Donk” Morse: Noa came to us from the C-130 engine shop. One of our “larger” booms, he carried our open team to the Wing Championship last season. Newly married to a beautiful load master, Noa spends his time with his young daughter and on the court playing basketball. We are looking for another trophy next year!

Current Operations/Mobility: TSgt Callen “Goucho” Cordeiro: Cal came to the squadron from the State and has been a huge addition. He has three young children and spends his time coaching and ferrying them to their games and other activities. A dyed in the wool Cowboy fan, Cal has fainted over the last two years when they ended their season early.

A Flight: TSgt Nolan “Z” Zoller: Nolan is a traditional guardsman of the finest grade. He will take local flights and TDY’s last minute and has done so numerous times. One of the squadron’s “master chef’s” Nolan’s experience as a Fire Captain in Honolulu Fire Department has made him a good to guy whenever there is any cooking going on.

C Flight: TSgt Derrick “Bullet” Martin: Derrick is a police officer in Honolulu. His work schedule allows him to fly often and probably flies more than any other traditional we have in the squadron. He can be counted on to complete assigned task with little to no supervision and the job is always top notch. He has two sons who are very active in sports and keep him busy.

C Flight: TSgt Matt “GERI” Lewis: Matt is currently filling a temp tech position with the squadron flying as much as possible. Matt is a karate instructor and has entered numerous tournaments around the world. He was probably the happiest guy in the squadron when Lyoto Machida beat Rashard Evans for the UFC title.

A Flight: TSgt Derrick “D-Dub” Wheeler”: Derrick is a pilot for Air Ambulance and will be taking part in an MPA tour here at the squadron. One of his passions is cooking and he has treated the squadron to a number of his culinary gifts. He is a team player and one of the best boom operators we have here. He is the designated chef on any AEF he is assigned.

B Flight: SSgt Jamie “Jello” Oliveros: Jamie has been blessed with two sons Deanan (6) and Reiss (4) and has been full time since 2003. Although she’s no longer able to enjoy those 4-5 day trips to Osan as often, she’s enjoying her new adventure in the squadron’s training shop and finding the duties very closely related to being an everyday mommy!

A Flight: SSgt Bronson “Huh?” Abellanida: Bronson works with father in the family business and is a traditional guardsman. He recently accepted an MPA tour and will be flying his butt off once he is on board. He is happily married and is always looking for the next adventure on any TDY.

B Flight: SSgt Albert “NCSY” Fernandez: Al is a fire Captain for the Rescue squad. Keeping everyone safe and sound is the calling in his life in addition to taking and old VW Bus and bringing out its true beauty. He is an avid waterman and can be found catching the best waves in front of his house in Ewa Beach.

C Flight: SSgt Michael “Yes its Real” Carter: Mike is yet another fire fighter with us and works in the Dispatch office. He can be found all around the squadron looking for something to do. Mike is currently on an MPA tour, but is going to get off the tour before he forgets all he learned being a dispatcher.

SSgt Anthony “Paki” Victorino: Paki is a traditional guardsman and a Private Investigator. He can be found on any given day on the baseball/softball diamonds on the island as an umpire. He is currently on an MPA tour and looks forward to his next opportunity to travel to some exotic location.

Retired MSgt Dave “Super Dave” Castillo: Left us January of this year and we were sad to see him go. Dave was always seen with a smile on his face and looking for someone to help. Dave and his wife are planning their family and our blessings and prayers go out to them as they look for their first child. Aloha Dave.

Retired SSgt Greg “G2” Genenbacher: Retired a few years ago because he was not spending enough time in Las Vegas. To cure this problem he and his wife moved there permanently. G2 was always a blast to be around sharing his wealth of knowledge about the tanker. He will be the first to tell you that the tanker can do Mach 1.

61 Retired TSgt Christopher “*&%$#@!” Killion: Retired to the big island of Hawaii to find his roots. Met a young Hawaiian woman and fell in love. The happy couple celebrated the birth of twins, a boy and a girl, this year and he is as happy as can be. Chris was instrumental in my development as a Boom and I will always be in his debt.

Retired CMSgt Tony “The Job” Fortney: Left us to become a flight engineer in Alaska. He saw the light and applied for the Chief position at Iowa. Tony was a key factor in starting the unit and his contributions can still be seen and felt to this day. Retired now to the great state of Alaska, Tony hunts, fishes, to his heart’s content.

Retired MSgt Bill Montgomery: One of the first Boom Operators hired by the squadron. He was essential to the overall operations and training of all the new operators coming back from school. Bill is a good friend and a tremendous mentor to all the junior NCO’s in the squadron.

Transferred CMSgt Frank Santos: Left us to take a position with NGB. All you guard guys know who he is and what an incredible job he does for us up there. Frank was a key leader for the squadron before he left. He was always seeking that next step in his career and has found it at our nation’s capitol.

62 HURLBURT FIELD, FL

MOBILITY OPERATIONS SCHOOL

DET 1

MSgt Christopher G. Hargett: Not a GS-12 type….Yet! Moved down here from Grand Forks AFB in February 2009. Still trying to spell A..O..C!

Richard S. Geraci, GS-12 (Retired): Our IT Systems guy. Occasional Tanker instructor. Rides his Harley to work, weather permitting.

909 ARS

“HOME OF THE YOUNG TIGERS”

Hello from one of the most diverse units in the Air force. The 909th ARS has much history and got its name the Young Tiger’s from Vietnam. The motto always there is also a part of our history. The 909th is by far one of the most diverse and active units that I have been a part of in my long career. From sitting a constant AE alert, standing up 10 lines of Bravo in hours to flying HHQ missions on a daily basis. Weekends do not really mean a whole lot here. We also can’t forget the Typhoon season where the whole unit has to scramble off island within 16 hours. With our friends to the North, our schedule is constantly changing; you can leave the squadron at 1700 and be doing something totally different by 1800. The Boom Operators that are here are some of the best I have ever served with, they don’t complain. It is hard to believe because that is the right of a Boom operator, but they don’t. Being a tanker unit that is collocated with Fighters, Helicopters and Reconnaissance aircraft is not always easy. We might be the prettiest thing at the prom but we dance every dance. There is nothing that happens in this AOR that the 909th is not involved with. We also just moved into a brand new building so that is making life much better from the hovel that the squadron was in for almost a year. We even have crews in the desert supporting OIF/OEF. I know all the tanker units are busy but if you want something that is a little different and challenging, Kadena is the place. Come on by and say Hi if you are out in the Pacific, we always get great treatment when we are visiting the states, so we just want to reciprocate. We thank all the men and women who have served and especially the Booms, who have left us, stay safe and continue the great job that you do for our nation.

SMSgt Michael Steinkraus (Chief Boom) – Just in from Hurlburt Field, FL. This guy loves Hooters and claims to have lived with some, but nobody really believes him. He’s got tons of expertise to throw around and hopefully someone will be there to catch it! Don’t let the fact that he’s the only SNCO in the squadron fool you…after the commander roast he may not be here for long. Nobody really knows how old he is, but some of the A model paperwork in his FEF is turning to dust.

TSgt Leslie “LA” Yarbough (OGV) – LA loves his BBQ and apparently loves the squadron too. He is on his way to the CRG. Good luck with that!

TSgt Mark “Quiet Riot” Babel (B Flight Sup) – Nobody hears much from him, but he seems to love his new office. Spends a lot of time in scheduling looking for trips.

TSgt Jason Wallace (A Flight Sup) – Just came from recruiting and decided to try his hand at the boom world. He’s been a flyer before so he’s no slouch. He loves those dang finger shoes too.

TSgt Michael Ingram (C Flight Sup) – This guys got stories, most of which nobody wants to hear. Okay, okay, we get…the AWACS is sooooooo cool. He does have some experience though, so listen up!

SSgt “Not as fat” Larry Nahalea (Stan/Eval) – Still thinks he’s always right and will go to great lengths to prove it. Really though, nobody cares.

SSgt Ronald Revis McKinney (Safety) – If anybody wants to know how you can manage to hit another airplane and then end up in the safety office just ask Ron. And yes, his contacts are still as bad as they were in the video!

64 SSgt Bartek “Big head” Bachleda (Scheduling) – Our resident hero. After catching a fuel leak and saving 300 people on a commercial airline flight, he figured that he didn’t have to do anything in training flight. Then somebody thought that moving him to scheduling would keep him in the squadron a bit more…they were wrong. Likes to hang out at the GSP and yes he still has a huge head.

SSgt Anthony “Tony” Erdelac (C flight) – Comes to us from the personnel world (yah seriously). While he’s not arguing with Larry about golf strokes, he loves waiting in line for CFIC. Don’t worry man, you’ll get there.

SSgt Aaron “King” Smith (A Flight) – Man this guy loves football, almost as much as he loves Kadena. He has somehow kept under the radar and avoided anything resembling a job in the SQ. He’ll be leaving us soon for McConnell and changing his name to King. Keep it real.

SSgt Mike “Where would I find that?” Russell (Training) – After getting through CFIC with a smile on his face, Mike ended up in training flight trying to figure out how Bach was the Sup but was never there. Mike has recently left us for Mildenhall…how?…nobody knows.

SSgt Kenneth “What time was I supposed to be here” Harwood (B Flight) – Came to us from Altus and doesn’t seem affected by deadlines. He’s probably just testing the “how many times can I show up late and still be an NCO” waters. Good Luck with that.

SSgt Michael Brooks (Stan/Eval) – Got one coming out of the hangar this July, likes to punish us at PT sessions (good way to channel his anger) Just did the recruiting gig in Florida. (Too chicken to go to Hooters)

SSgt Daniel “Moss Burger” Maas (Training) – Leaving us soon for Altus. Somehow he managed to get orders there while he was going through CFIC. Either somebody knew you were going to make it, or they just don’t know what’s going on. Have fun down there.

SSgt J ustine P escatello-Parr ”P2D2” (OSS Scheduling) – She’s not afraid to tell the whole island that, Yes her name is hyphenated, and apparently she’s a feminist. Who knew!

SSgt James “Loves to make uncomfortable jokes with Larry” Nilsen (Training) – Fresh from CFIC. After showing all the O’s in the scheduling shop how things work, someone decided that his breadth of knowledge should be utilized in the training flight.

SrA Brian “Who gives a $%^&” Porter – Don’t let him fool you, he does work here. Just because he only shows up when there’s alcohol and food…and during a full moon…wait a minute…

SrA Stephen “WoW” Fricano (B Flight) – When he’s not summoning Mages to dominate the world of warcraft, Stephen loves to talk like he’s smarter than you. Is he? Nobody’s really sure. Don’t invite him to a party, he will come dressed as a transformer.

SrA Gregory “ Applenuts” A ppleton (A Flight) – Another squadron ghost who loves to send e-mails from his house pretending that he’s at work. Nice try!

SrA C hristopher “The b aby m aker” Pedersen (Training) – Bullet head is one of the smartest, oldest SRA we have, he enjoys long walks and BeeGee’s CD’s.

SrA Cody “The Beav” Beverly (B Flight) – Beav enjoys sitting alert, preflight crew and going to clubs where there is more sitting then dancing. One of our up and comers.

SrA Jonathan “The lady killer” Allessie (A Flight) – Gets tired of being treated like a local. Our new Rodeo boom, if he doesn’t win, he will be seeing a lot of the pattern.

A1C Brandon “Bama” Roberts (A Flight) – In denial about his girlfriend, don’t ask him for a ride, he will just oversleep. Quietly trying to be a dungeon master.

A1C Cassidy “I’m not a girl” Cook (B Flight) – Was met at the charter flight with flowers, neglected to tell his sponsor that he was not female. Just came back from the desert, will never forget about the down lock again.

65 A1C Bruce Wayne Freed “Batman” (A Flight) – Nobody understand what the heck this kid says, but it sure does say a lot when he can still manage to grab his ID card but forgets his pants before evacuating the dorms during a fire alarm. Still has the stalker mustache.

A1C Michael “Bigfoot” Childers (A Flight) – Recently forced to move dorms, has more computer equipment then NASA.

A1C David Ballmer (C Flight) – Our Airman instructor extraordinaire. After surviving the brutal pre-CFIC that training flight prepared for him he set out to Altus. We still haven’t heard back from him…maybe somebody should call down there. Our resident cougar expert.

A1C Jason Duckett (C Flight) – Honestly we would be surprised if this guy has any blood in his beer stream yet he still manages to out golf Larry. He seems to know how to stay out of trouble so far though. Thinks golf is an additional duty.

A1C Jacob “A10” Aufderheide (C Flight) – If “Top Gun” were a movie about booms, this guy wouldn’t be in the movie. He sure tries though, cruising around in his bright green Del Sol and sporting those nice shiny reflective aviator shades. You make us proud.( not really )

313/FLTF

“PROVE IT FIT FOR FLIGHT”

The Running Chupacabra’s! We live at the Boeing Logistics Support Center at Kelly USA (old Kelly AFB). Actually, Boeing lets us live in their paint hanger, but the fumes help you forget how hot is it. We perform functional flight checks on the aircraft out of Depot/PDM and GATM mod. The boom shop here has become a running club, logging over 500 miles between the 3 of us this year.

Ringler, G ordon W. SMSgt (G ordo) [email protected] , Reserve (AGR): All right you Rat Bastards! Nothing is too cruel if it’s funny (or true) and you still can’t lead with E-mail. Still happy in San Antonio-only a few years left.

Stift, Amanda J. MSgt (Stiffie) [email protected] , Reserve (AGR): Finally got her full time AGR slot here. Trying to adapt her to full time rules now-“No, you can’t just decide to not come in today now.” The girl is a marathon running fool! That makes for a bad PTL monitor. Got a MSgt stripe and now you can’t tell her anything.

Bonnet, John MSgt (John) [email protected] , Reserve (AGR): John is adjusting to his new life here in San Antonio. Logging a lot of frequent flier miles to Phoenix. John is doing well, running and being a good Dad for his dogs.

Oulela, Dean P. Mr. (Retired) Now working here for Boeing as a weight and balance engineer – can you believe it!?

We have a part time TR TSgt boom position open so c’mon down if you want a little troffing money. Stop by if you deliver or pick up a jet here – we’ll at least point you to Sea World & the Riverwalk.

344 TRS

CAREER ENLISTED AVIATOR CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

Howdy from the 344th TRS Career Enlisted Aviator Center of Excellence in San Antonio. The 344th houses 3- level training for all career enlisted aviators, with the exception of linguists (but they really don’t count anyway), CDC writers and the Aircrew Fundamentals course. BBOC moved here about 2 years ago and we have a staff of three very handsome boom operators. In our down time we make fun of the loadmasters and watch the tankers fly into the Kelly depot. We realize that you guys like to taunt us by vectoring overhead our building. Please be kind to us because we are all on controlled, non-flying 4 year tours. When your in town, stop by and pay us a visit. We could always use a good boom hug; the gunners around here are just too gentle!

MSgt Eric Mo yer (KC-10/KC-135): Lately Eric has been putting a lot of effort into looking busy. Try as he might, he really isn’t fooling anybody. Unfortunately “retired while on active duty” Eric will be officially retired in January. We will all miss his laugh, and his signature belly rub while doing so (although he has lost 30lbs so he doesn’t have much of a gut anymore). Eric’s decision to trade burritos and mojitos for organic oatmeal and water has served him well. We wish him the best!

TSgt Justin Konicke (KC-10): As of now, Justin is content with being the IS of BBOC. In most cases IS stands for Instructor Supervisor, but here at the 344th, IS for Justin means Internet Surfer. Justin is constantly surfing Craigslist for the best deals on bikes, so he can throw them in his garage and do nothing with them. In his spare time Justin sits at home in his tighty whities drinking beer and holding BBQ’s. Justin is married to his wife Nicole, and has two kids, Emma and Jack.

SSgt Deboris “D” Leonard (KC-135): “D” has had a very busy year, so he recently decided to take a deployment to Ballad AB to have some fun in the sun. Deboris also traded in his gloves of matrimony for the single life. After a rough 2.5 seconds living the single life, “D” decided to get remarried. We wish “D” the best of luck his second time around.

SSgt Chardo “Shartdo” Richardson (KC-10): Chardo is as lively as ever. He recently connected with his soul mate, “Katie the Love Missile”. He swears we will all see him on an E-Harmony commercial, and he vows to remove his falsie front tooth for all to bear witness. Just in time for the boom signal, Chardo earned the nickname “Shartdo”. Not only did he earn a new nickname, but he learned a good lesson in being prepared for the unexpected. Fortunately, Chardo’s strong 29 dimension connection with Katie served him well, as she was able to look past the strong odor and stained jeans. When he is not with Katie, Chardo is working on his Master’s in Psychology and spending time with beautiful daughter Isabella.

SSgt Robert “Bob” Miller (KC-135): Bob is our resident KC-135 expert. But despite him constantly professing his love for the -135, we recently found several revealing pictures of aKC-10 in his drawer next to a bottle of lotion. Bob also just went through an intervention to rid him of his addiction to playing “World of Warcraft”. He now gets his fix by taking extended bathroom breaks and playing “Bubble breaker” on his cell phone. Bob is married to his wonderful wife Mel, where they like taking leisurely rides on his motorcycle.

“FORMERLY KNOWN AS MOTOR CITY MADMEN” (AWAITING NEW NICKNAME)

Greetings all, we missed a couple of Boom Signal inputs so I will try to catch you up. It has been a very busy couple of years getting to where we are now. We had to give up some awesome looking airplanes, move our positions to MacDill, had a large turn over in leadership and personnel, stood up ops while never slowing in the flying program, going through an ASEV right now and getting ready for an AEF deployment this fall. Other than that things are going great! Here is a quick rundown on past and current booms in the unit.

ASSIGNED BOOMS

TSgt Th omas Bl ack – (TR) Currently on school tour orders as a recent cross-trainee from the C-130 world. Tom never realized an airplane with four engines could move so fast.

SSgt Phillip Costine – Phil came to us from McConnell. Still pretty new, we are trying to figure him out. He was able to go back to the job he had before joining the Air Force working for a large grocery store chain near his home town.

SMSgt John Fill – (ART) Chief Boom Operator. John is a former Beale guy as well who made the move back to Selfridge anticipating the move on to MacDill. He is doing a fantastic job dealing with a whole bunch of new and differing personalities trying to get everyone to play nice together before the unit deploys in the next fiscal year.

TSgt Trevor Halpain – (ART) Trevor is the boom scheduler and loves his new ART job working very closely with the Active Duty. He speaks so much about the Active Duty one would almost think he wishes he were a part of them again.

SSgt N ate H ooper – (TR) Hoops came over from the dark side of MacDill and seems to have learned rather quickly the Reservist frame of mind. Full time college student, part time reservists.

TSgt M ax Langford – (ART) Yes, they will give Tech Sgt stripes to anyone! Max is our Unit Deployment Manager. Apparently not a big fan of MacDill, he keeps wishing he were back in Michigan; however, Max is the king of the South Tampa social scene as indicated in the local Tampa newspaper.

MSgt John Mercer – (TR) – John comes to us from the KC-10 world at McGuire AFB, and is unable to understand that the “real tanker” has four engines. A long time boom operator, he brings a lot of military training experience to the unit. If we can just reel him in a bit, he could be a good asset to the unit. He was the recent recipient of the Outstanding AFRC Senior NCO Enlisted Aircrew Member of the Year award for 2008.

MSgt Johnny Pullen – (ART) Another former Beale guy, Johnny has been placed in Training and having never worked in this position before, he has had to train himself on being the “Training Guy.” He is doing a bang up job having to deal with constant change on how things are “supposed” to be done.

SMSgt Greg Ringel – (TR) Greg is the most senior boom in the unit. No I didn’t call you old. Former ART when the unit was at Selfridge. Greg decided to stay on with the unit as a TR for awhile and took a civilian job with the Army in Michigan.

76 MSgt Pete “Stu-y” Stulginski – (TR/ART wannabe) Pete comes to us from the AWACS world and never knew that a sortie could actually be less than 12 hours. As Trevor’s mini-me, Pete is currently on school tour orders and has done a fantastic job at Altus and is progressing rather quickly toward Mission Qualified status here at home.

TSgt Jared “W-10” W*^%$&*(&%r (Wahleithner) – (TR) Jared could be considered the epitome of a Reservist…no wait a minute…he’s just another California transplant.

SrA Lance “Juice” Welch – (TR) Former Beale California boy decided the South Tampa girls were a lot nicer to him, so he decided to move with the unit and attends school at University of South Florida.

ATTACHED MEMBERS

MSgt Bruce Clemmer – (ART) 927 OSF – Bruce is our Mission Development expert. He came to the unit from the BRAC’d 939th ARW. He spent about a year “TDY” up at Selfridge before moving south. For some reason still thinks that Oregon has a chance at winning any sort of major collegiate sport. He doesn’t quite realize that a duck is just not that intimidating!

CMSgt Bob Renn – (ART) 927 OG/OGV – Bob was the Chief Boom of the BRAC’d 314th ARS at Beale. He has settled into his corner desk in the dark back corner office of the triple-wide just in time for the ASEV team to arrive.

TSgt Matthew Janson – “Mattie J” is also learning the ropes as a reservists while he attempts to better himself by going college. Not sure we need this many smart people around, we’ll have to do better in our selection process next time. Matt is assigned to Stan Eval.

RECENT/FORMER MEMBERS

SrA Victor Atkins - Victor also joined the Ohio ANG but he is with the 121st ARW in Columbus.

MSgt (Ret) Joe Bozzo - Joe got married just before he retired, he still works for the US Post Office.

SSgt Nicolle Buttino is now an "O"!! She just recently was commissioned as an active duty ensign in the US Coast Guard. And get this, her first assignment is right here in Tampa, Florida!

SSgt (Separated) Kevin Craft - Kevin took a job with the Army working on heavy equipment in Iraq!! We still hold a slot for him if he wants to come back and get recurrent.

MSgt John English - John landed a sweet job in Michigan working as a straight civilian for the ARMY. He is also a TR at Grissom ARB.

MSgt (Ret) Fred Geotche - Fred also retired, kicking and screaming and grasping the door jam on the way out.

MSgt Karl Kivela - Karl helped close down operations at Selfridge as the bulk of the unit moved south, and then he quietly retired. In his real job, Karl is still an air traffic controller at DTW.

SMSgt (Ret) Reginald No lte - The first Chief Boom of the 63rd ARS has ended a glorious career and retired in style in December 2006. He continues to live in Michigan, riding his Harley and enjoying his well earned time off.

CMSgt Jeffery Rooding - His HYT waiver did not get approved and Jeff had to leave us for the Kentucky Guard. He still continues to work on orders at TACC as a stage manager.

CMSgt (Ret) Bill Shaw – He, along with his wife Carroll, retired and moved back to Pennsylvania to be closer to family.

MSgt (Ret) Larry Wyland - Larry slipped away quietly, just the way he wanted it. Some still see him from time to time in and around Mt Clemens.

TSgt R ob V ossen - Rob joined the Ohio ANG near his home in Toledo. Unfortunately he had to give up flying, but the commute is much nicer.

77 And now for those who continue to fly and serve at Selfridge ANGB with the newly converted guard unit:

MSgt Mike Weir - Full time Technician, I think he still works in Mission D. He changed the patch on his right arm and that's about it.

MSgt Johnny White - Also a technician, I am still not sure what he does.

Part timers who joined the MIANG:

TSgt Michael Stahl, SSgt Aaron Balk, SSgt Matthew Huff.

And finally, it is with deepest regret that I pass on to our fellow boom operators the untimely passing TSgt (Ret) Thomas Polk. Tom was sitting at stop light on his brand new Harley when he struck from behind by a truck fleeing from police. You are missed my friend.

That’s it from the “Premier Associate Wing in the Air Force Reserve Command” here at MacDill AFB. Until next year, may you all have smooth and precise contacts!!

STANDARDS AND TACTICS

Hi from Fourth Air Force. It’s hard to believe that a year has already come and gone. The pace here hasn’t changed and my family is wondering when I get to cash in on all those airline bonus miles. The unit visits have provided me with the opportunity to visit and talk with the other booms at the squadrons throughout the NAF. I’m very proud of being associated with all the booms I meet. From old crewdogs to baby booms, everyone steps up to what is being asked of them. The unit visits have proven we have the highly skilled ability to take the fight to anyone; anywhere; at any time.

The mission of 4TH AF is to ensure units are trained, equipped and ready to support peace, contingency and war operations as directed by the Lead Command and National Command Authority. Fourth Air Force is the only AFRC NAF with a dedicated war billet. Our UDM ensures we meet or exceed the same standards we hold accountable to our units. Many of our personnel have deployed for extended tours. For those who are still there we wish them God’s speed and a safe trip home.

Here in A3 we also provide assistance during Staff Assistance Visits (SAVs), war fighting skills trainer during Readiness Assistance Visits (RAVs), specific assistance during a Functional Assistance Visit (FAVs) and unit program evaluation during Aircrew Standardization/Training Assessment Visit (ASEVs). In addition to all the different visits we at 4th regularly attend conferences and special sessions for all issues related to DOV, DOT and Tactics.

Remember in the Boom Signal there are no strangers, just friends we haven’t met yet.

Sincerely,

Frank DeJauregui, SMSgt, USAF 4AF/A3V (AFRC) DSN 447-7663 [email protected]

79 MARCH ARB, CA 336 ARS “THE FIRST AND THE FINEST”

Another year has passed and the constant theme seems to be “Thank you may I have another?” or was it “shut up and color”? Between the deployments and inspections, it seems we always have something on our plate. At least it keeps the RRATS gainfully employed; which is a good thing because Southern California lifestyle isn’t cheap. The following individuals make it all possible:

MICHAEL “Stitch” ALLEN (MSGT/ART) – UDM extraordinaire! He had some huge shoes to fill when Brian moved but has done a great job. When Mike isn’t swallowing glass, he can be found spending long hours getting our unit ready for our numerous deployments and loving every minute of it.

JOHN “v-File” BRADBURY (TSGT/Trougher) – Our go anywhere any time guy, just as long as there is no extra paperwork involved. Our in-resident “Love Doctor” is always there to school our younger booms in the ways of love.

ERIN “I Don’t Smile” BROTSCH (TSGT/ART) – Pay padawan, UDM lackey, and libraries custodian. While she is happy to be an ART, she has become very hostile as the TO custodian. She is often heard threatening “great bodily harm” to those who mess with her mission kits.

NICOLE “Cougar” CANADA (SMSGT/Reservist) – Making baby booms cry since 1991. The rumor mill states that Nikki has a pension for young cabana boys... young anything for that matter. Can you blame her? We are looking to PEP her to Chief….Two female chiefs in the same shop. Look out!

ANDREW “Abe Lincoln” CASEY (SRA/Trougher) – Medical student and is rumored to be overly fond of hugging trees (there is another rumor that we have photographic evidence). Despite his busy school schedule, he is always trying to devise ways to become the next big “YouTube” star.

OZZIE “Schl@*ng” or “J-E-L-L-O” CASTRO (TSGT/Soon-to-be-ART) – Our newest training NCO. Oddly enough, since he started working in training there has been a mysterious “sobbing” coming from his office. He likes long walks on the beach and currently seeking nurses or your sister.

FRANK “DJ” DEJAUREGUI (SMSGT/ART) – 4TH AF keeps him busy but somehow he finds time to fly with the RRATS.

KENNY “Dance, Dance” FITZGERALD (SRA/Trougher) – A hard worker who was recently seen in a low budget “Dancing With the Stars” knock-off. We are still trying to convince him that the GTC is not a gift card! Due to a recent classified incident, he has ruined Joe’s shot at being a rock-star!

REY GUMARANG (TSGT/Reservist) – 452nd TALCE boom, deputy sheriff, AND he finds the time to fly once a week.

BOB “I’m Not Joe” HAYMOND (SSGT/Trougher) – Luckily for Bob, we don’t hire based on what the previous Boom Signals have said. Turns out he’s not a headache. He decided being a boom was better than being a 130 loadmaster.

80 KEN “Born to be Mild” HORNER (SMSGT/ART) – Our go-to guy when it comes to pay/computer/force protection/flight line guru! Drama free for 30 days, well the past few days anyway. A hard working “behind the scenes” boom. He is so behind the scenes that we are not sure where he is most of the time. As long as the printers work and we don’t have to deal with the pay folks, we are happy!

ROBERT “Zumi” IMAIZUMI (SSGT/Trougher) – So quiet, we are pretty sure he is a ninja. He is another one of our “anywhere/anytime” booms. Lately, we try to keep him home because as soon as we send him on the road, something always hits the fan at home. He is our deployed “Blockbuster” as long as you like subtitles.

JOHN “Fabulous Borderline Spectacular” IRISH (MSGT/Trougher) – Always smiling and in a good mood….he must still have some souvenirs left over from his last drug bust. Since his retirement from the sheriff department the mean streets of Riverside are a little meaner as our poorer booms have to share the man days.

DORIAN “1-Upper” JOHNSON (TSGT/Reservist) – Mr. GQ himself! Dorian is a busy guy between being a big shot at Raytheon and slumming it with the Reserves. He maintains that BMW drivers are just like everyone else….everyone else that pulls in 6 figures. Hey, Dorian, just because you shaved your head, we still know you’re blond.

ROBERT “Oblong” LONG (SSGT (no, really)/Trougher) – Relinquished his title as the world’s oldest Airman. One of the hardest working booms in the shop with knowledge to rival that of our senior booms, just ask him! A gentle giant… and if you don’t believe that, ask Erin, she has the scars to prove it.

DEBBIE “You Don’t Have To But…” MCGUANE (CMSGT/ART) – She is doing a great job as our new chief and is quite possibly the most loved Chief in the Air Force, just make sure she scrubs her thumb drive before she lets you borrow it (and she has the audacity to call some of us “Filth on two legs”).

TERRY “Liar” MOSSBARGER (SRA/Trougher) – TJ is one of our “go anywhere, anytime” guys. The only thing he likes more than flying is surfing. We only had to remind him once that he needed to show up to both days of a mandatory drill, even if he was with Brian the night before. . Recovering from an unfortunate scuba diving incident where his girlfriend almost suffocated…

JOE “Back on Active Duty we …” PARKER (SSGT/Trougher) – Wanna-be rock star. Adapting nicely into the Reserve arena, we only have to tell him once a week that “This is not Active Duty”. While he is waiting for his big break in acting/modeling/rock ‘n’ roll, he spends his time helping us prepare for upcoming inspections.

TIM “Ice Shield” PRESTON (MSGT/Trougher) – He has hit the ground (among other things) running since returning from boom school. We are glad to have him home and look forward to abusing him on the next deployments.

ROB “He’s Too Big For Me” RAMIREZ (MSGT/Reservist) – Currently assigned to the Ops Group but finds new excuses to spend time in the squadron. Promoted to “best girlfriend” since Beans has retired and is feeling…errr… filling in nicely.

BRIAN “General” or “Brain” “Curt Sammons” SAMMONS (SMSGT/ART) – CMSGT Curt Massey’s retirement left an opening at the 452nd Group Stan/Eval and we could only think of one guy to take his place…Phil. Since we can’t repeat what Phil said… Brian was eager to take on Stan/Eval. The rest of us are scared as hell. In his spare time (yeah, right) he earned 2008 California Air Force Association SNCO of the year.

RALPH SIEMER (MSGT/Trougher) – One of our newest gas-passers. He comes to us from Pease ANG and is adjusting nicely to the California sunshine. He has quickly dropped his “east coast” accent and has replaced it with “valley girl”.

AARON “Wanna Rent My Condo” SCOTT (MSGT/Reservist) – He makes sure the friendly skies stay friendly. He is gearing up to enjoy his wife’s retirement in Maui.

YVONNE “Deep Sigh” SELL (MSGT (finally)/ART) – Doing a kick-butt job in our scheduling shop. Making miracles happen every day and receives nothing but gripes and complaints. Seriously, we appreciate her there and that’s not because no one else wants it!

81 BRIAN “Who is Brian Sinclair” SINCLAIR (TSGT/Reservist) – Another of our deputy booms. Between catching bad guys and TALCE, Brian is one busy guy.

PHILLIP “Tech-cedure” STIDHAM (SMSGT/ART) – Doing great things in the squadron Stan/Eval shop. He can be seen wrenching his hands menacing whilst mumbling something about getting them on their next check ride.

RETIRED

ROB “Beans” BAXTER (MSGT/Retired) – Beans is enjoying the sweet life of retirement and we miss him.

AL CONTRERAS (CMSGT/Retired) – He had a choice of becoming a boom or a load… While we are pretty sure he was a boom, his OG duties kept him away from flying most of the time. Enjoy!

CURT MASSEY (CMSGT/Retired) – Had his “fini” flight and then went TDY. Had his retirement party and then stuck around a bit longer. Enjoy the golf course!

Well… until next time, the RRATS will continue to maintain our “First and Finest” reputation. We look forward to integrating our active duty associate unit, deployments, activations, inspections, as well the normal 3700+ flying hours, alert lines, and normal day-to-day activities. Special thanks to booms that contributed to this year’s signal: the Bobs, Deb, Ken, Erin, Joe and Nicole. As the locals say, “Adios Amigos”!

MSgt Derrick “D-Rock” Grant – Operations Superintendent: We also just received MSgt Grant from the McGuire CRG and as the CRW Command Chiefs Exce.

STAN/EVAL SSgt Brandon Holaday – NCOIC Stan/Eval: If anyone has ever met SSgt Holaday then you know there is a thousand things to be said about him. He is a great instructor thus why he is in our Stan/Eval shop making sure we are in compliance.

SSgt Patrick Martin: SSgt Martin recently got married and we moved him into the Stan/Eval shop. He has made an excellent addition to our Stan/Eval, now when SSgt Holaday is gone we still have an EB around.

TRAINING SSgt Tommy Holland – NCOIC Training: He just returned to the squadron from a year over at XP where he ensured the Wing was ready for back to back ORI’s…Yea RIGHT.

SrA Cody Brister: Somehow SrA Brister was selected as the President for the Airman’s Council on base and is doing a great job. If we can pull him from all of his presidential duties, his school work, family, VCO duties, we will send him to CFIC.

SCHEDULING TSgt Chris “Dim” Witt – NCOIC Scheduling: TSgt Witt likes to spend his time in the desert, not really sure if it’s his choice or not though. Right now he’s getting ready for CFIC, studying for MSgt and trying to find the “Airman” that screw up last...

SrA Sean Luna: SrA Luna has been keeping our mobility office running and pulling A LOT of Honor Guard duties. He must be doing a “good job” because that’s where he stays hid and we don’t ever hear any complaints about him.

EXEC SSgt Steven Sellers – NCOIC Exec Office: SSgt Sellers is the only enlisted guy in the exec office but we found time to slip him off to CFIC. He should be moving to bigger things when he get back from CFIC as an Instructor.

ATTACHED/ON-LOAN MSgt Brett Zwick XPO: MSgt Zwick was moved to XPO

“BANDITS”

Superintendent:

MSgt Rodney “Hot Rod” Ward – Just returned from his second tour at the Deid as Chief Boom this year, he seems to have taken a real liking to that place. I guess it was all that time stationed at Altus. Departing the Bandit lifestyle to head up the Special Operations Air Refueling shop.

Operations Super:

MSgt Michael Murray – Fresh in from the NCO Academy at Lackland, excited as a kid in a candy store to back in the air. Flew his first flight today, wanted to know where the NAV and the sextant stool was!!

MSgt Ste ven B ishop – Our former scope dope, just crossed over from the AWACS and loving the 135, must be the big engines. Heading to XP to make us all look good during NORE and ORI!!

Training Flight:

TSgt Michael Webster – PCS’d in from Kadena and took over as training NCOIC, knows now why Fred was smiling when he left.

SrA “Rob Poe Bit ches” – When not planning the next going away bash or welcome bash or whatever bash, he was finding time to get his Bachelors degree from Southwestern!!! Has 725 Air medals that have not been approved yet, and will probably be promoted to SMSgt when they all come through.

SrA Zach Donarski – Another of our new instructors, loved Altus so much he went DNIF and stayed a few extra weeks. Currently DNIF for a snowboard trip….I mean ear infection.

Stan Eval:

SSgt Tom “Where does it say that” Wicks – Head Stan Eval guy that is always deployed. Who’s running that shop?

SrA Brandon McAnally – Professional SELO. Run’s the shop while Wicks is deployed. Spent some cash and bought a new car and got a new baby. Baby has not arrived prior to release of this document. Good luck dad, we have a deployment with your name on it.

Scheduling:

SSgt Aaron “Red Bull” Meadows – Tries to keep the ones below in line. Resting heart rate is approximately… 215. Enjoys a good TDY surrounded by counseling sessions.

SrA Mike Cerni – A new arrival from Mildenhall, finished MCT and took off for the desert. Thinks wrapping the instructor comm cord around the ruddevator control stick is an approved method of communication when his comm cord doesn’t work. Just passed is annual check ride. (see Wicks above)

SrA Shawn Wilson – Can go from TDY in San Antonio to a Deid rotation in a single bound, well more like 2 days but still impressive. What would be really impressive is getting him to come to work more often.

85 SrA Patrick Murray – Tried his hand at becoming a linguist but didn’t quite make it so chose to become a Boom. Just finished MCT and eagerly anticipating his turn to deploy.

A1C Arthur Willis – DATA MASKED

SSgt Charles Adams – When he’s not deployed he’s on leave with his kids or rocking some karaoke machine in Old Town. That kid can sing and dance. Currently looking for new stripper girlfriend.

A1C Mark Waski – Deploys way too much to get credit for working in readiness.

A1C John “Madden” Hadden – Currently on his first deployment. Has grown one of the sickest moustaches ever seen on an 18 year old!!

Attached

CMSgt Michael Adams – Our OGV Chief Boom, never seen someone work so hard prepping jets all night without getting one hair out of place.

MSgt Fred Ramey – Fast Fred took off to the SOAR shop with a big smile on his face, probably because he will finally get to go TDY again. Our newest MSgt via STEP promotion, way to go!

SSgt Jac ob Jewell – The juggernaut is absolutely convinced this place would stop functioning without him. Enjoying fatherhood and in search of orders to Altus, probably for that stable family life.

SrA Jeremiah Ibarra – Became a new instructor and did such a great job in training flight they sent him to OG Mobility to keep track of the Juggernaut.

“RED FALCONS”

Greetings from the 350th RED FALCONS; coming to you from the land of constant wind and change. Working at high speed and doing more and more with less and less. We’ll be waiting until the year 2050 before we see a new tanker. So let’s start taking donations now.

SMSgt Tim Ballentine – Squadron Superintendent: He was on his way west to the land of the rising sun when” the powers that be” woke up and thought better of it and gave him the land of OZ to call home.

TSgt Jason “Sweaty” Hall – Operations Superintendent: In its truest meaning Jason works hard, but the real reason behind it is Bangkok Thai. When he eats there, it looks like he just ran a 10K, and that’s the first bite.

TRAINING FLIGHT SSgt Heather (Barnes)-Godfrey – Recently married, “He should have to change his last name not me”, Heather is doing great things in training flt. When not over @ OST keeping students in line, she is thinking about becoming a gunner. She just wants to shoot something, anything.

SrA D on “JIHAD” Jo hnson – Constantly TDY, Don has a time share @ “The Deid” and the locals know him by name. Ladies he’s available and likes long walks in the desert, wearing PT gear w/reflective belts and dining anywhere there’s chopped chicken.

SrA Lucas” Who stole me Lucky Charms” Treat – When not being asked to stand up all the time you can keep track of him by following the rainbow. Sorry, no pot of gold at the end, just Lucas sitting on two phone books hard at work building training folders.

READINESS FLIGHT TSgt Lori-Lyn Froehlich – Recent cross-trainee from security forces, LL is in culture shock seeing how the other (dark) side lives. She was last seen running over to the Cop shop screaming “We have a keg-orator!”

SrA Jamie “No E-TIC” Rabb – The sequel to Broke Back, Jamie just returned from the desert. Evidently the jets aren’t the only things to break there; hopefully on the mend soon.

A1C Andrew “Checks are the same as cash right?!” McCartney – Andy absolutely loves being a boom! Just ask him and he’ll be glad to share one of many stories he has acquired during his long stint as a boom. Like this one time, he was refueling a B-2 …Currently in the desert collecting his $3.50, holding public speaking engagements on how to make money work for you.

SCHEDULING FLIGHT SSgt Logan Berry – Go ahead, just try to think of a nickname he hasn’t heard before. Although, if you are able; he’ll buy you a case of root beer. And then go into a detailed history of how it’s made.

SrA Jeff “The Right Stuff” Wall – He has the best contacts ever with F-16’s, no one else comes close. Recent dental hobby shop experiment, Jeff now has all his teeth.

A1C Kyle “Black Cat” Zuber – Don’t let him cross in front of you. No luck like bad luck, Kyle on one coronet got a bird strike and a lightning strike. Someone might be trying to tell him something.

87

A1C Terry Harman – The latest addition from Altus going through OST.

STAN/EVEAL SSgt Pat “I wanna be a cowboy” Haney – Mild mannered evaluator by day, grouchy and disgruntled Auburn fan by night. Pat can be found in the bowels of Stan/Eval whistling his theme song and marking victims off his list.

SSgt Marcus “Shank” Mayfield - No direct eye contact, Marcus spent a few months in a Turkish prison and doesn’t like to talk about it. Strikes so much fear into the heart of the infidels even the Qataris let him skip customs.

SSgt Ryan “Sleepy” Clauss – Used Ambien to get sleep in the desert and instead took a “trip” and thought the trailer was moving and kept asking his roommate who he was. “Tomorrow will thank you” is its slogan, too bad you can’t remember what happened that night.

SrA Killian Lange – It can’t be confirmed if she’s in the squadron, because nobody has actually seen her. With the Ninja like disappearing acts, she’s a mix between Alfred E Newman’s “What, Me Worry?” and The Joker’s “Why So Serious?” But it works for her. After all, she doesn’t go to where you work and slap the boom out of your receptacle.

A1C Chad “Punxsutawney Phil” McHenry – Bleeds Red and white, depressed the Steelers won the Super Bowl. He saw his shadow and there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

SAFETY FLIGHT TSgt Drew Sottovia – 2nd time to the land of OZ, keeps saying Kansas is just like Michigan. Runs Safety with an iron fist, always can be heard screaming OSHA rules to baby booms.

TSgt Jesse Meagher – It’s pronounced “MAH-HA” Da#@!-it. Another cross-trainer this one from maintenance @ Kadena, will soon be arriving from Altus.

ATTACHED/ON-LOAN SSgt James “Anger Management” Morter – You’ve heard of let go of my Eggo. Well, that’s nothing; just ask the poor TCN in the Deid what happens when you try and deny Jim cherry pop tarts.

SrA Joe Ware – Out of the squadron working in tactics, perfecting his stealth talents and dreaming of predators.

LOSSES MSgt Jeff Bishop - Out the door to Scott AFB, Jeff won’t have to worry about being attacked by A-3 bags for a while. He now has time to take self defense classes for when he deploys again.

SrA Jordan Dosch – Left us last year will be missed, good luck on the outside.

“SQUARE PATCHERS”

Greetings to all in the premier career field in the AF. Just like everyone else, it’s been another busy year for the Square Patchers. Our Boom Operators continue to fly the mission with pride & distinction, as evidenced by selection as McConnell’s nominee for the SMSgt Al Evans Trophy for 2008. We’ve got a ton of new guys this past year and a ton more inbound. As soon as we get everyone through MCT, life should be pretty good. Hope everyone is well and we look forward to seeing you on the road.

(S)MSgt Paul C. “PJ” Jacobs - Squadron Superintendent: Paul is currently at SNCOA getting reblued for the final time. When he’s not busy keeping us in line he enjoys hunting up in Montana and hunting with Chief Morman. We couldn’t ask for a better Supt. He drops the hammer when the hammer needs to be dropped and gives us a big hug & kiss when we need a big hug & kiss. Congrats Paul on making Senior.

MSgt Max D. Morkin – Operations Superintendent: Yes, he’s just as grumpy as he ever was. Max moved from Stan/Eval to Ops Supt last August. He also fills in for PJ when he leaves town. That’s the price you pay when you have a line number to Master. He got reblued himself when he found out he made Master…even won NCO of the Quarter for the 22 ARW.

STAN/EVAL TSgt Jeff R. Stoermer: Our resident photographer. Can usually be seen at the end of the runway taking pictures or face down on the flight line with an M-16 to the back of his head for taking legal pictures. “If the cops knew their own rules I wouldn’t be in this situation! Jeff has only been a boom for a couple years, but he’s already upgraded to EB and is doing great things as our new Stan/Eval Boom.

A1C Inmon, Phillip R. “Mrs. Otto” (Stan/Eval) Phil is another one of our newlyweds. He married Andrea Otto in Nov ’08. We all know who wears the pants in this family. He’s still doing a great job in stan/eval as our only enlisted SELO. Plan for the future is to become a postman…because he likes doing paperwork?

TRAINING TSgt Josephe L. Cofield II: Just returned from a cake assignment at TACC. Got through requal and we sent him on the road for a couple months. When he’s not busy running training flight he can be seen in a corner playing Risk. We might have a closet World of Warcraft champion on our hands as well.

SSgt Phillip E. Costine: One of our multiple newlywed booms. His wife already made him get out of the AF. Phil will be leaving us in the spring to work at a Publix grocery store in Florida. He says he’ll be working in the corporate office, but we’re pretty sure he’ll be a bag boy. Look for him in the MacDill Reserves if he’s lucky. He’s a great IB and will be truly missed.

SrA Stephen J. “Boner” Bowman: Note to self: When the Sq Supt knocks on your door because you’re 4 hours late to work, make sure you’re “adjusted” prior to answering…Otherwise you’ll end up with a new nickname. Boner arrived from Mildenhall in Fall ’08 and he’s been busily preparing for CFIC since. We’re looking forward to seasoning him with some MCT booms when he returns from CFIC this summer.

SrA Andrew M. “Little Deck” Deck: Ignorance is bliss…Promoted himself to SrA three months early. “But TSgt Otto said I could.” Nice try Andy. Was officially & legally promoted in Dec ‘08. He celebrated by buying a new cell phone to use in the “play area” at all wing exercises. Andy has been a great asset to the 384th and even managed to squeak out a couple awards.

89 MOBILITY TSgt Jeffery S. Hollaway: Recent cross-trainee from POL arrived in December ’08. When he’s not studying the Dash-1 or whipping Mobility into shape, he can be heard screaming at a contractor for screwing up the house he’s building. Jeff has played for the AF volleyball team since 2001 and has already joined a team in Wichita. Too bad no one ever told him volleyball was a girl sport!

SSgt Dustin T. Page: Another recent cross-trainee. Dustin is a former comm weenie who arrived in Dec ’08. Currently in MCT and then we’ll send him on the road. We’re looking for great things from him in Mobility.

SSgt Jeremiah C. Haas The newest Square Patch SSgt and recent Finance cross-trainee. Our resident expert on why travel vouchers never get paid on time. J.C. shares a house with Boner…we’re not asking and we don’t want them to tell (see below). So far he’s doing a great job in MCT and can’t wait to get to the desert...no joke. Good on him.

SrA Sathor P . “Di ngo” Sathor Who knew, Dingos can fly. Dingo finally got off DNIF after a nine month vacation. Rewarded with a four month deployment to the desert. Plans to separate this spring and return to Oregon to hug trees and make tie-dye t-shirts. Dingo has done a fantastic job holding the Mobility Shop together and will be missed.

A1C Nathan A. Bahr. Nate has hit the ground running since arriving in May ’08. He flew through MCT and already has a deployment under his belt. And he’s only been yelled at by Chief Morman once. Something about not emptying the trash in the dorms. Nate is doing a great job in Mobility and we’re looking for big things from him in ’09

A1C Rashaud R. Watson Baby boom fresh from Altus. This kid is too new to have any dirt on. So far he appears sharp and is steadily moving through MCT. Wants to go to the USAFA and play Division I football.

SAFETY SSgt Everett L. Marshall Still can’t understand what he’s saying half the time. Finally made SSgt after who knows how many times testing. You’re bound to get promoted if you put in for eight Air Medals just before the cut-off. Rewarded as the Ground Safety NCO. We even gave him an airman to keep after.

SrA Charles M “Radar” Robertson: This guy has the biggest head of anyone in the AF. Not because he’s arrogant; he literally has an enormous noggin. He’s the only first-termer we’ve ever seen arrive from tech school as a SrA. That’s what happens when you spend 1.5 years becoming a Korean linguist and fail your last test. He’s the first to admit it’s the best mistake he ever made.

SCHEDULING SSgt Adam P. Mosier: The desert warrior. In fact he’s there again right now. He’s been abused so much he’s actually volunteering for Altus. Just has to wait for his time on station to catch up. When he’s not in the desert he can be seen at the smoke pit with one of our pilots.

SrA Parker B. McElroy: If you need to know the proper way to set up a retreat, just ask Parker. His first couple of years in the AF were on the AF Honor Guard in DC. Now he spends most of his days scheduling us for Friday night flights.

A1C Andrew C. Kueffler: Our Airman of the Year for 2008. Andrew has done a fantastic job since arriving at the end of ’07. In addition to deploying for us three times, he became a new dad in Aug ’08. Congratulations to him & his wife.

ATTACHED/ON-LOAN (S)MSgt Paul E. Wallace - OG Stan/Eval) Paul came back to the boom world (last June) after being a Diamond wearing First Sergeant for four years. Known by many names, Wally, Governor, Rusty, “Earl”…”Shirt”(at least to many of the Airman in McConnell’s MOS/CS), he hit the ground running to get back up to speed. Min-timed his Requal at Altus and came back to work, briefly, in OGS (aka SOAR shop). Then, Mike Morris had to go and get himself non-vol’d to Altus, so we moved him up to OGV. Recently promoted to SMSgt (should be tacking it on June/July)…Congrats Paul!

SSgt Jon Pierre “JP” Castech: JP recently moved over to the OSS to work in the SOAR shop. He’s also another newlywed. He married Tracy Ogle from the 344 ARS. Another case of we know who wears the pants in that family.

LOSSES Steven K. “Kenny” Stewart: Kenny left the 384 ARS in Jan ’09 after 5 years. He was an awesome asset and will be missed big time. Joined the Reserves as a bum and is living off his sugar momma up in Park City.

90 SrA Richard “Ricky Bobby” Olson: Ricky RETIRED as a SrA in July ‘08. Only had to serve 4 years for a 100% pension, but we won’t go there. He’s also the reason Phil & Andrea fell in love and lived happily ever after, but we won’t go there either.

SrA Daniell Crone: Formerly Danielle Hughes. Got off DNIF long enough to have a fini-flight and then joined the Reserves as an Optometry Tech. Yeah, that’s a step up from the Boom Operator career field? We wish her the best of luck nonetheless.

TSgt Andrea “Ottomatic” Otto: Yes, this is the same Andrea Otto you went to boom school with six years ago, and yes, she is a TSgt and you’re still a SrA. If you know Andrea then it’s no surprise she made SSgt & TSgt the first time. Come to think of it, the only mistake she’s ever made was marrying Phil Inmon. Andrea left us for OSS in Jan ’08 and then PCSed to the Guam CRG in Dec ’08. She is truly missed.

SSgt Josh Kruenegel: Josh left the AF and returned to Wisconsin in Jan ’08. We haven’t heard from him since, but hope he’s doing okay.

SSgt Jeff Moore: Another long time Square Patcher who left us for Altus last Spring. He already produced a baby boom (A1C Watson) for us. Way to go Jeff!

“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 (ART) – Rancher extraordinaire he is neck deep in the cattle business. His door is always open, stop by anytime for a horse ride and a cold one. He will be retiring this year after 36+ years.

MSgt John “Tex” Austin (ART) – He is helping the Chief with the day to day operations of the boom shop and is the additional duty monger. No project is too big and no time table is too short. He finally donated the S-10 Chainsaw to charity. We think that he had to pay them to take it.

MSgt Bill “Tall Tale” Baker (Ret) – He finally got his retirement paperwork correct and has officially joined the civilian population. He is working in Greenville Texas for L-3 Integrated Communications Systems formerly known as E-Systems.

TSgt Warren “Bear” Bearup (ART) – Bear is still entrenched in the short 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 just joined us from the Inactive Reserves. He says that he missed the career field and really wanted to get back into the boom pod. 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.

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.

SSgt Christine Chavez (TR) – Another new hire from the Active duty. She also had a long break from the active duty and was missing the career field. She will be starting her requal this summer and is very excited about her return.

92 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 also been selected for pilot training. He managed to bluff two different units with the same lines that Jacob used and was selected by both. He chose the Alaska Guard as his next assignment and is moving all of his worldly belongings there as I write this document. Good riddance….I mean good luck Casey.

MSgt Darren “The Wedge” Demel (TR) – As of now Darren is employed by Cessna as a production engineer. Layoffs are hitting hard and so far he has dodged them all (hope I did not jinx him). 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.

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.

SSgt Jay “GQ” Guldjord (Trougher) – Jay in another one of our dedicated and highly motivated troughers. If he is not TDY or at work you can always find him at the gym.

MSgt Joe “V Check” Halenka (TR) – Joe is still working with the 22ARW as a mission executer. This correlates into a workday that is mostly spent at the gym. He has been working with the Active Duty so long that the only way we know he is a Reservist is to check the manning roster.

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.

TSgt Carla “Ouchie” Horner (Trougher) – Carla is helping out in Mobility and trying to plan her wedding at the same time. She would prefer that the Reserve command wait to inconvenience her with the busy work of activating the unit until after her special day.

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 about to be a new father. We are guessing that the baby will have a 120 IQ within the first month. He is still working with Hawker Beachcraft as a program engineer.

SMSgt Ray “No Proof” Lewis (ART) – Ray is our resident attic dweller A.K.A. Stan-Eval king. He still never misses an opportunity to attend a NASCAR race in person. He finally managed to scrape enough time together to complete a Bachelors degree.

TSgt Morris “Moe” Loncon (Trougher) – Moe decided that driving trains in Wyoming was not all that great. So he decided to try out as a boom again. He still has a ton of thrust with short vectors. Welcome back Moe.

SMSgt Kathy “Sheba” Lowman (ART) – She recently made the long drive from Tinker to McConnell and has been a breath of fresh air to the Training Shop. If you need something she knows exactly where to get it or who to call for the answer.

93 TSgt Mark “Mac Daddy” McIntosh (TR) – Mark just finished a stint with the guys from Fairchild as their deployed Chief Boom/First Shirt and Social Actions rep. Mac says that Manas is a garden spot and everyone needs to visit at least once in their career. He is still living at Kadena and commuting to Kansas for his drill weekends.

TSgt Chris “Gump” Norris (Trougher) – He is still the trougher of the decade. He is either playing rugby or wanting to talk about rugby or wanting you to come watch him play rugby. He finally scared himself enough times on his crouch rocket motorcycle that he switched back to the SHO. Just ask him he will tell you all about that one as well.

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.

SSgt Steve “Kenny” Stewart (Trougher) – Kenny is the last of our new hires. He crossed over from Active Duty with very high recommendations. Three months have now passed and we realize that we were sold down the river on this guy. He is a great asset and a welcomed addition to the family.

MSgt Kathy Pett (TR) – She retired this past year and is really enjoying time with her family. She will be missed by everyone in the unit. Boom Stowed.

TSgt Steve “Scuba Steve” Sirois (TR) – Steve departed the fix this year. He got a killer job in California with BNSF as one of their Safety Supervisors. We are still baffled on how he managed to swing that deal. He is now back as an FE on UH-60’s with the CANG at Moffett Field.

SMSgt Dennis “Denny” Struve (TR) – Dennis is still working with Boeing as a Test Boom on the KC-767 program. They are delivering aircraft to both Italy and Japan still. He is engaged and will fall on the sword this August. Good luck with that.

SrA James “JD” Utash (TR) – JD managed to land a job with Spirit Aerosystems formerly known as Boeing. He is using his accounting degree to count pennies for them. He is also about to take the plunge into married life. They just can’t seem to get the date set in stone.

SMSgt John “Johnny Wad” Wallman (ART) – John is holding down our body scheduling shop and has managed to shut down the production line at the Wallman Baby Works factory. He is still the proud papa of four boys. You can usually find him plowing the fields at his family farm in Syracuse Nebraska.

SSgt Jason “Ghost Boom” Wesche (TR) – Jason is still working the counters as a Gate Attendant with United Airlines in Denver. 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 is sill our long range scheduler. He continues to impress the crew dogs and piss off the FM section with some of his exquisite TDY locations. He got us Brussels and Darwin within three months of each other. Keep up the good work.

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.

It has been quite a ride starting with the KC-135A in 1980 to KC-10 in 1984 and back to KC-135 R’s in 1995. Since the stand up of the 18 ARS we have hired 75 booms many have moved on to other careers. I am proud to have been a charter member of the 18 ARS and I am proud of the booms remaining to wear the patch. Thanks to everyone for letting me be a member of the boom operator union. If you are ever in the area stop by the ranch and I’ll buy you a cold one.

32 ARS

“BLUE EAGLES”

Greetings from the 32nd ARS and the land of Political Corruption called New Jersey. We, like every other unit, are insanely busy. Between deployments, JA/ATTs, Dual Roles and Business Efforts we can’t have a boom meeting with more than 4 or 5 booms in attendance. We have lost several to retirement and two to DOS. As quickly as we can get the new booms qualified we are sending them to the desert. Some of them are even volunteering to go! Below is the squadron list in no particular order. Ok, after the Chief, it is alphabetical, but…here it is.

THE SQUADRON BOOMS

That is the current state of the 32nd ARS. If you are here at McGuire or our home away from home in the desert stop by and say hi. We are all over the world all the time so if you see a “Big Sexy” look for one or two of us running around.

621 CONTINGENCY RESPONSE WING (CRW)

WARNING: Applying for duty in the Contingency Response (CR) business is not for the weak at heart! You must assume an expeditionary posture at all times, be highly skilled in your craft and be prepared to adapt and overcome all obstacles. Your fears will be faced; sleeping in tents, eating MRE’s, yelling Hoorah with the Army, and worst of all working with loadmasters. But if you are not a “Cake-Eater” and dare to be different then becoming a Devil Raider may be for you. You will learn to fight, you will learn to lead and you will become a “Mobility Master”.

816th CRG

MSgt Mark Harper – (KC-135) Retired 1 Feb 2009.

817th CRG

SMSgt Derek Cantre – (CRW) Used to be a KC-10 boom but has been assimilated and turned into a Devil Raider at the 621st CRW (WHAKO!). Currently is the 817 th Group Superintendent (poor airmen) and his Code 50 is about to expire (thank goodness) so get ready because he could be coming to your unit next! (Lucky you)

818th CRG

SSgt Isaac Paredez – (KC-10) Lives with three load masters and has more female companionship than all of them combined.

819th GSS

MSgt Leroy Robinson – (KC-10) Getting ready to head back to the flying world, says he is gonna miss the CRW. NCOIC of Current Ops scheduling.

MSgt Patrick “Stuck in the CRW Hole” Ingram – (KC-135) Heads back to flying in Feb’10, hasn’t decided if he wants the Gucci route or not. UTC manager.

MSgt Randy Kay – (KC-135) New to the CRW, just upgrade to CRT and Affil instructor. Squadron Readiness Superintendent.

MSgt Thomas McCoy – (KC-10) Pinned on MSgt, then had his forth HERNIA surgery. Currently UTC manager and resident computer expert, even the computer guys call him.

TSgt Edwin Mahue – (KC-135) Just upgraded to CRT, been known to follow COPS on the highway thinking they are giving him a police escort. Looking for an assignment to New Hampshire or retire at 20.

TSgt Kevin Hill – (KC-10) Just graduated from the NCOA, seems to be a very sharp guy other than listening to Tim King tell him the CRW was a great job.

103 TSgt David “The Hammer” Megill – (KC-10) realized that too many Q-2 & Q-3 for pubs generate PCA's to the CRW. At least he won't have to worry about 8010 training anymore. On the other hand there is always JRTC's and JTFEX that need a RAMPCO or CRT. "Where are my tax breaks? What do you mean I don't get Post Mission Crew Rest after a trip, I'm a 1A0 it’s in the Regulations!!!!" Can you say "MICRO MANAGEMENT...... "

TSgt Bobby Ryan – (KC-135) New guy from Kadena, worked to get out of an Altus assignment only to get a better deal in the CRW. He is the typical Dirty Old Man.

SSgt Jacob Dieter – (KC-135) resident golden child, does a great job. Had a baby and is having fun with his new little rugrat and learning more everyday about what the next generation of boom operators will be like. His wife Mo has been enjoying the time at home grooming what she thinks will be the next great Chef. Adjusting to the traffic in the Northeast has been a challenge, but a recently purchased Ram should persuade more people to get out of his way!

SSgt John Rickenbach – (KC-135) You can send me TDY anywhere, I just like to BI*** about everything.

SSgt Christopher Titsworth – (KC-135) Great name great guy just don’t talk bad about trains around him.

21st AMOS

MSgt John Wolfe – (KC-135) spent 3 years in the GSS/ 817 CRG (a.k.a. Shawshank Prison) living the Army lifestyle building tents, sleeping in cots, packing guns and wearing body armor. Currently in the 21 AMOS planning tanker missions. I'm the one you are swearing about when you complain about your fragged mission from the ATO. Finally received orders to McConnell AFB for this fall, will be returning to the good life....

MSgt Christopher Prosser – (KC-10) Time is almost up looking to head back to flying in the near future.

MSgt Greg Patterson – (KC-135) For the past year has been fully engrossed with the upgrade and field testing presses of MAAPTK software <<< Google it... He is tired of explaining what it is! In addition has been "THE guy, the Tanker SME" for AOC/AMD/ARCT Mission Essential Competency inputs for future AMD Ops >>>coming to a theater near you! Tenure in the AMOS and CRW is coming to a close as he will raise his sail and set course to the Big Mac of the Midwest.

MSgt Michael Hammond – (KC-10) Tanker planner, loving life. Wants to extend his time in the CRW. [email protected]

For those thinking about coming to the CRW, McGuire is a nice place. The assignment can be rewarding if you keep an open mind. Remember morale is contagious, whether it’s good or bad. So if you get an assignment to the CRW either because you want to come or because you sweet talked the assignment guy at AFPC. Be willing to learn and have a warrior mentality. This job will open your eyes to the rest of the Air Force and make you a more rounded Boom Operator. NKAWTG!

“FIRST AND FINEST!”

Hello to all our fellow professional flyers around the world. As with everyone else, McGuire is still very active in the GWOT. We have had an up and down year in the section. Lost a few personnel through retirement, job opportunities and just leaving on good and bad terms. Thank goodness we were over manned. FY 2010 looks very good for us, we have 2 pipeline booms coming in and I expect them 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 NCO category!! Not too bad, that’s 4 awards in 3 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.

The ART Force

CMSgt Joel “Big Toe” Montgomery: Joel continues to run the 78th ARS Boom Shop like a fined tuned machine. The 78th ARS Boom Shop constantly steps to the challenge whenever asked, which is a testament to Joel’s leadership. Whenever the 78th Boom Shop is on display, it’s often overheard “what a fine looking bunch of men you have their Chief!”

SMSgt Dan “Riverdance” Ciambrone: Dan seems much more at peace with himself now that he has a protégé helping him on the scheduling desk. Dan and Vic Guzman will make a great team playing “good scheduler, bad scheduler” with Vic acting as the attack dog.

MSgt “Kid” Ray Cruz: For the second year in a row, Ray has won the coveted 78th ARS “Outstanding Customer Service” award. Ray is very humble of his achievements and insists he is not deserving of this prestigious honor.

The TR’s

SMSgt Henry “Stick Hog” Grill: In his civilian position, Henry still works for SEPTA as a locomotive engineer. He is often found threatening to tie down passengers to the tracks if they don’t sit down and shut up while he is blowing the trains whistle. Henry thinks this is a serious breach of train etiquette. Pound-for-pound, Henry is still one of our finest Booms. Henry doesn’t want to give this up due to HYT, so if anyone in the guard wants a true professional flyer he is more than willing to work until age 60.

SMSgt Vic “Living the Dream” Guzman: Vic has been on active duty orders and his doing a great job filling in the ART position left vacant be SMSGT Culbertson’s promotion to Chief Boom of the 76th ARS. If selected for the position he would make a great fit, and as always, goes above and beyond what is expected of him. Only one drawback for Vic, he would have to give up his crown as long-time trougher. The staff at the Marriott in Princeton will be sad to see him go!

MSgt Paul “PW” Carter: PW has settled in and is comfortable with his assignment as the squadron Vehicle Control Officer. Except for the incident at the Commissary with the bag ladies (for your own good, do not bring this up when you see him), he is doing a great job.

108

MSgt Joe “Gigolo” Fenick: Joe can still be found at the gym prior to a local often mumbling something about Henry Grill. I do not know whose idea it was for the two of them to move in together, but can two Booms share an apartment without driving each other crazy? (Theme from The Odd Couple playing in the background)

MSgt Marty “Yes Sir” Johnson: Marty is now the last of the Mohicans. With the retirement of Steve Reeff, Marty is the last TR from Barksdale. He still resides in Texas and gets up to McGoo whenever he can to meet his reserve requirements.

MSgt Roswell “Everyones” Friend: Roswell is back at the gates of McGuire working as an SP augmentee and flies with the squadron whenever he can.

MSgt Andy “The Lip” Sylvain: Andy works for Pratt & Whitney and resides in Connecticut. With the retirement of Al Alonso, Andy once again holds the title of “Boom from the North”.

MSgt Jim “Angry Troll” Carden: Jim and his wife celebrated the birth of their second child this past year. Amazingly enough, the baby measured in at the same size as her Dad. Jim has also been on orders working with Current Ops for the last year.

TSgt Anthony “Soft Taco” Cleaver: Taco has volunteered for multiple active duty lines over the last several years. Way to step up Taco! Taco may have more time complaining then most people have in the Air Force!!!

TSgt Teddy “Joe Biden” Morales: Ted is still working in Manhattan and is doing great for himself. He recently was promoted to the position of Vice President of the company he works for. Tell us the truth Ted, how much of the federal bail- out money did you get to pocket?

TSgt Rob “Good Deal” Rodriguez: Rob has volunteered to perform a year long active duty order to help out the squadron and continues to stand-out among his peers. He constantly puts the needs of the squadron and the Air Force above his own….yea right! Good one, huh Rob!

TSgt Joe “Ambassador” McGann: Works for the Department of the Navy in Lakehurst where he works as the Assistant Team Leader on the blimp recovery team.

TSgt Bob “Mr. Hanky” Pavlovec: With the possibility of Vic Guzman taking an ART position with the squadron, Bob may be the front runner for “King Trougher.” Way to go Bob! By the way Bob is the newest AFRC OUTSTANDING AIRCREW MEMBER of the YEAR (NCO), congratulations Bob.

TSgt Paul “Homo Thug” Fennell: Paul is still DNIF after recovering from testicular cancer.

TSgt Chris “Rob” Baez: Congratulations to Chris for his promotion to Tech this past year. Chris is still gainfully employed in the civilian world and continues to remain current with the reserves. Chris is still constantly getting reprimanded for mouthing off to anyone within earshot. For the last time Chris, please shut-up!

TSgt Angel “Coffee, Tea or Me” Gomez: Angel was also promoted this year to Tech Sergeant. Angel is living proof that even the criminally insane can be rehabilitated.

TSgt Kingsley “Red Stripe” Rose: Kingsley has volunteered for many active lines throughout the last couple of years and continues to do a fine job for the 78th. Although, at the squadron fly-away to Puerto Rico, he was caught trying to jump the fence and swim back to the Motherland. Nice try Kingsley.

TSgt Shawn “Slap heard around the World” Moran: Shawn works for the Merck corporation, so if you need any drugs please contact him, legal of course. Is doing an outstanding job getting the Boom’s the Awards and Decorations they deserve.

SSgt Jessica “Shocker” Osmer: Jessica continues to stay current with her reserve duties on top of working part-time, raising her young daughter and dealing with her husband Ryan. Just kidding, Ryan is a great guy, even for a crew chief.

SSgt Ken “Pop Tart” Moeser: Ken and his wife celebrated the birth of their first child this year. Congratulations Ken! Ken also volunteered to take a long activation order this year, probably to get some sleep while he is on the road and away from home.

109 SSgt Nick “I am the best looking guy in the bar” Stolley: Nick was promoted this year and has been a fine addition to the boom shop.

SSgt Rick “Say it isn’t so” Taylor: Sweet Brick, so young, so foolish. Yes ladies it’s true, Rick found himself a sweetheart and has decided to tie the knot. That takes another fine young stud boom off the streets. There are hearts breaking all over the world as we speak!

SSgt Alicia “Counting down the UTAs” Troudeau: Alicia has been working as a graphic design artist in Connecticut and may hang up the flight suit for the last time within the next year. Work keeps her very busy and tries her best to fulfill her reserve commitments.

SSgt Matt “Sweeeet” Yockey: Matt continues to volunteer for active duty orders and is giving Vic a run for his money as King Trougher. After it was explained to Matt that one should walk up and down stairs, he has been doing much better.

SSgt Jason “Jenny” Craig: Jason works full-time with the 305th in mission development. Beyond that, no one is quite sure what else he does.

SSgt Tim “It puts the lotion in the basket” Brady: Tim is a long haul trucker and if you meet him he should be able to explain everything there is to know about truck stop showers. Congratulations to Tim for making SSgt, he is no longer the oldest SrA in the Air Force Reserve.

SrA Bill “The Vigilante” Vigilante: And his uncle likes to kick Boom Operator Ass! Just ask Fennell.

SrA Joel “The Man” Hildebrand: Joel is checked out and flying his a.. off. He does a great job but we need to keep him away from the 21 and older degenerate Booms. Will be starting school this fall and I am sure he will be a 4.0 student.

Entered Orbit:

SSgt Terry Dowell: Terry has joined the 78th from the active duty side of the house. He may be with us a short time while he awaits the possibility of a pilot’s slot.

SrA Nelson Villatoro: Nelson recently joined the boom shop after working for the last several years with the wing.

TSgt Fran “I don’t work weekends” McLaughlin: Fran is completing his initial qualifications training and should finish his training on-time.

AB Justin Medina: Justin departs for Basic Training in July.

Departed the Track:

SMSgt Tony “The Sledgehammer” Pierce: Tony is working for the Group in Stan/Eval.

SMSgt Bobby “Poker Face” Culbertson: Congratulations Bob! Bob was hired in the 76th as Chief Boom and will make a great chief. Although he was only with the 78th Boom Shop for a short time, he will be missed. By whom, no one knows.

MSgt Al “Uncle Albert” Alonso: After a long and illustrious career Al has finally had enough and retired after 24 years of faithful service. He is living in Connecticut and working for SouthernAir.

TSgt John “Home is where you park the RV” Frankel: John also hung up the gloves this past year and retired after serving for over 20 years. His dry sense of humor and his “pig tail” will be missed.

TSgt Leland “Not So” Fast: Leland was hired with the 108th on the Guard side of the house. The over/under on his return to the squadron is 12 months. God speed Leland!

SSgt Angie Chantre: Angie left the squadron this past year due to medical reasons and can be seen working at the medical clinic on base.

SSgt Jazzreal Richardson: Jazz also left the 78th this past year due to reasons within his control; mainly he had a bad attitude and did not show up anymore.

110

The 78th wishes everyone in our career field well and hope to see you on the road at McGuire or at the 2010 symposium.

HAVE A GREAT AF YEAR!!!

“JERSEY TIGERS”

It’s hard to characterize this past year but the word exciting comes to mind. There has been a lot of changes to the unit including a lot of great folks retiring or having to leave the squadron because of the BRAC. We are also gaining a lot of new booms. For instance, Leland Fast who comes from the KC-10’s across the street; Kenneth Stoddard from maintenance; Curtis Palmer from Supply; and Fontain Morris-McClary (insert other name here) who is going through basic training as of now. Despite all the changes we are still here off Exit 7, stop by and we’ll be sure to give you the good old Jersey “Hello”.

TSgt Miguel “?” Badillo: Technician Is happily married and looking forward to building a new home built to his new wife’s exact specifications. In his spare time he enjoy entering TAPRs and helping out in flight scheduling.

SMSgt Scott “Shrek” Brown: Technician Right now he is working on the finishing details for his “boom life” tattoo to go right above his “tramp stamp” of the enlisted aircrew wings. When he isn’t doing that he’s working in training, get your beans done.

CMSgt John Connors: Guard He’s very close to retiring but in the meantime helps out doing BRAVO administrative duties.

MSgt Dave Falkowski: Technician He has finally left scheduling and is now in training. You will be receiving no more emails from him with hugs and kisses instead only mild threats and no humor.

MSgt Alecia Judd: Active Duty Is currently attached to our unit for currency and helps out a lot.

SMSgt Brian “Killer” Kilpatrick: Technician He’s currently the guy in charge of cargo at the unit. He’s a pilot on the outside so when his eyes widen at a pilot’s approach you know something is wrong. Shh… “I hate this place”.

MSgt Thomas “Tom” Miller: Guard Tom is very willing to share his instructor knowledge with you. He is also still a Verizon guy and more importantly the Jose to English translator. Yet more importantly, could he be a replacement for Gonzo? Stay tuned.

CMSgt Marvin “Marv” Nichols: Technician He is the chief in charge of our combined squadron and saw what you did, so why don’t you just admit it to him already? And don’t worry, whatever you needed, he has already taken care of it. It is still too cold all of time except maybe in August.

SrA Frank “Biggest Feet in the Unit” Nucera: Guard Has finally gotten qualified, thank goodness. Really you can’t blame him, he has his hands full between his four children and breaking up riots as a police officer. Yikes.

112 TSgt Patrick “Pat” Ogle: Guard Pat is also a pilot on the outside and perhaps has the farthest commute out of all of us. Despite the distance he helps out often and is even an alternate for the coming deployment and you better believe who will not let you get hurt before you leave.

TSgt Marshall “1/2 a Minute” Rice: AGR Is no longer a traditional guardsmen but a full time scheduler. He is a nice guy so we can’t just hate him too much when he asks to fill a hole in the schedule.

MSgt Jose “Hose B” Rodriguez: Guard The original Rodriguez is still working for the state and is a part time instructor for the unit. He is always full of good advice, as long as you can understand him.

SrA Robert “Sponge Bob” Slocum: Guard Is perhaps one of the only people who will study for a test that he doesn’t have to take. He is also a police officer on the outside and comes in for flights just to take a break. And yes, he finally got mission ready.

SMSgt Mike “Sly” Sylvester: Technician Sly resides in stan/eval but his most important duty is taking care of the coffee machine. It’s six scoops of coffee and don’t even think about getting hot water until it is done with it’s brewing cycle.

TSgt Greg “Eggs” White: Guard When he isn’t doing Bravo, he is taking care of his baby girl and wife. He also has his pilots license and if he has an opportunity will take his family for a flight, which considering he is on Bravo, is actually quite often.

TSgt Samantha “Sam, Curly” Gerofsky: Guard Sam has finally finished her degree and has gotten her pilot’s license so now you have to too. Any social function we’re having she’ll be there and you’re coming with her, damn it.

SSgt Marilia “Larry” Rodriguez: Guard Yes, she’s still engaged, and still in school. Most of the time still quiet, unless she is laughing or cringing about something Sam and/or Jen has said.

SSgt Jen “Jersey Jenny, Moe” Bowen: Guard No longer so quiet, much to the regret of the DO. Be careful if you get easily offended and watch out for you beer bottle.

KC-10 ATS BOOM INSTRUCTORS

2319 Vandenberg Ave, McGuire AFB, NJ 08641 (609) 723-6070 FAX: (609) 723-5964

FROM: KC-10 ATS Boom Instructors SUBJECT: Boom Signal Greetings for 2009 TO: Boom Operators Everywhere

Hello Everyone! We’re grateful for the chance to say hello to the enlisted aviation professionals throughout the world; in particular, we send our best to the air refueling specialists who keep the entire flying business going, day and night. We consider it an honor to be associated with you in our corner of the world as KC-10 “school house” instructor boom operators. Many of you have been a part of our great memories, having flown with many of you and trained many more. We’re always anxious to hear what’s on your mind and we’d like to give you the latest on our instructor staff here at McGuire Air Force Base. Here are some brief statements about our guys -

Steve Fromm - Flight Check Airman / First among equals. Did you know he had a Corvette? Head of Top Three.

Andy Miller - Oldest (or is that most experienced?) on staff. Has lately turned into a gym rat; adds new meaning to the phrase, “…60 is the new 40…” Head of Top Three.

Greg Heffron - Born on April Fool’s Day – honest. “…57 is the new 75…” Head of Top Three – see a trend here? A/K/A The Tripod

Mike Cardina - Our resident expert on a wide variety of KC-10 topics and is always working projects for us. He and “JC” host many boom get-togethers for us old guys when we sit and drink ginger ale and try to remember good stories.

James “JC” Coleman - Our sportsman who masters all he puts his talents to, whether it’s bowling, golf, tennis, barbequing. A/K/A Tango Delta (Test Dummy), already slated as next FCA.

Mark Schumann – A/K/A “Wookie” for some unknown reason. Travels more now as a civilian than while in service. Personal wealth coordinator for the unit and heavily involved in American Legion activities.

Steve Smith - Oldest living boom ever, recently had his second knee replacement. The good news is he’ll be able to walk better. The bad news is: Due to his recovery time, the New Jersey Performing Arts has lost its lead in this year’s production of Riverdance: Mutants in Tap Shoes for this season. Top Three Emeritus.

Steve Custis - Steve Curtis to some. When he comes into the room, the Top Three goes, “Cluck, cluck, cluck…” A/K/A The Bottom Feeder Steve was once an AF FAC, so he knows how to duck when our instructor staff gets wound up at story time and fire for effect.

Eric “ET” Thomas – A/K/A Chicken Bucket. Our part-timer who is barred from local buffet eateries. If you knew him, you’d get it. Shops at only the best kids’ clothing outlets.

John Page - Keeper of the office thesaurus, a spell-checker with legs. Usually busy with being “ready to help”. Knows the meaning of hard work and loves watching others do it.

115 This entry is not as caustic as some – well, not very caustic – and we hope that you’ll give us a call and check in. Our commercial number is noted on the letterhead; the booms usually take phone calls at extension #5772. We used to give out the extension #1545, but that is Smitty’s personal line.

Be your best every day and remember that if you’re not producing lift or thrust, you’re a drag.

Regards to you all out there. We know the days are long and the demands are great on both tankers…thanks for what you’re doing from this year’s contributing writer at Quagmire,

JOHN R. PAGE KC-10 ATS Instructor

116 RAF MILDENHALL, UNITED KINGDOM

351 ARS

100 OSS, 100 OG, 100 ARW

“THE BLOODY BOOM ASSOCIATION”

100th Operations Group

CMSgt Chris “Shooter” Powell (OG Superintendent): Getting Chief Powell in here has been awesome! It’s great to have a CMSgt Boom at Mildenhall again, it’s been long overdue. Chief hit the ground running here; he got qualified again in the 135 and hasn’t forced us to listen to much KC-10 stuff. He hustles young basketball players during lunch and led the OG team this year in scoring. He has been abused by the Chief’s Group already…he’s the new president!

SMSgt Mike “Water Tower” Conner (OG Stan/Eval): Mike has done an amazing job in OGV, he is departing in September, and I can hear the vacuum of knowledge escaping us already. He really has been a mainstay here; he gets a lot of time in on the keyboard. I’m not sure that the new Chief of OGV will know how to do all the stuff Mike does. Picture a burro hauling gear in the Grand Canyon…that’s Mike! Good luck in Altus, and thanks for keeping us off of the people to kill list!

HQ USAFE STAN/EVAL

MSgt Walt Markwas (USAFE): Walt is up and running, taking over for SMSgt Rod “Gigantor” Targos as our USAFE Stan/Eval, we don’t have enough dirt on Walt yet, but just you wait…next year will be a good one!

100th Air Refueling Wing

MSgt Bill “Lightning” McQueen (Wing XP): Bill has spent the last year in the vault. He has revamped our command post communication procedures and instituted some more Crew Comm training by carrying secrets more often. If you see a pack of young booms with various weaponry lurking behind the vault, you may want to shield your eyes. He looks to take over for SMSgt Conner in OGV in the fall.

351st Air Refueling Squadron

SMSgt Todd “The Thong” Cole (Superintendent): The big news this year was that Sgt Cole was selected for Chief Master Sergeant! For those of you who are unfamiliar with “The Thong”, you are missing out. I have never met anyone who reads as much as this guy, Exciting! Sgt Cole ended the 08’ basketball season with the moniker “Rebounds McGee”; he could give Dennis Rodman a run for the money for sure. The Chief (s) is going to the Fighter Group as Seymour Johnson, can say Command Chief in a few!

MSgt Mylo “Superstar” Gibson (1st Sergeant): “Whatsgoinzon?” Mylo has been slaying Airmen all year and doing a great job. He spent 2008 moving houses (like 11 freaking times); he saved $11.28 in rent. Way to go, “Ole Thrifty” strikes again! But he is finally set, are backs are grateful! Mylo continues to move and shake the ARW. Expect big things from this Louisiana Boy in the future! Rumor has it that he wants to try out the real shirt world! Yikes…

117 MSgt James “Wild Bill” Fitch (Chief Boom) (Author, except for my own! This is from SMSgt Cole): Our resident “Rain Man” he remembers every line to every movie he has ever seen and keeps us entertained and laughing all the time. He is always at the foose ball table beating all the young lieutenants and making them cry. He doubles as our Chief Boom and President of the Mildenhall Top 3. He won the election by a land slide and when he was given time to make and election speech he said, “Vote for me and I’ll make your wildest dreams come true!” We are still waiting. Another elected representative from Illinois that can’t deliver the goods!

TSgt RaileR Cantrell (NCOIC Mobility): RaileR has been doing a great job in mobility, but he has been doing a better job on the local racing circuit. He got his motorcycle completely tricked out and he is looking at a BMW…he is also getting married soon so all of those things will be a thing of the past.

TSgt Chris “TDY” McCarthy (Mobility): Chris has been everywhere again! He really has been doing everything for us, from exercises to air shows and instructor sorties. He does it all. Right now he is gearing up to represent us for RODEO. Chris is famous for his sweet pirate costumes and his $5K camera. After the ORI, look for him to move into a job that I’m sure he will hate! Muahahahahhahaha…

TSgt Al Pelletier (A-Flight Supervisor): Al survived his year in OSS scheduling and is running the flight like a well oiled machine. He really is a great supervisor. I see him chewing on guys daily…brings a tear to my eye really. Al extended for a whole month! Dog! He will be out of here next Feb. Whoever picks him up will be lucky! The worm has turned for this one.

SSgt John Brown (NCOIC Stan/Eval): John is an awesome Boom Operator! He will be a CMSgt for us one day. He has done a great job with prepping the young ones for our upcoming ASEV. If the inspection goes poorly, then I will recant the first two sentences! Seriously, he is doing great things; we just have to keep him challenged!

SSgt Heath Tuma (NCOIC Training Flight): President of the Bloody Boom’s! He has done an amazing job in training flight. He has stepped up the boom advanced training classes and is getting maintenance involved in helping us learn the systems better. The office is everything it’s supposed to be I couldn’t be happier. Heath’s car was a victim in last year’s street bocce ball contest…sorry sun roof, but it was Kitty Husong’s fault! She was mad because Digger smashed her window!

SSgt Terrell Frideger (Stan/Eval): Digger just wrapped up a 60 day to Diego Garcia as the Chief Boom, well played sir, well played. He took 3 young ones down and managed to avoid any ARI’s! Amazing! I think they flew 4 msn’s, he better not ask for another good deal for a while. Hey, here is an example of perfect timing. Let’s pretend that the Chief Boom is in the bathroom at the BXtra on a Sunday afternoon…Digger (hung over) + greasy burger = embarrassing moment. Not much left to say after that! So freakin’ funny…Oh yeah Digger sucks at bocce ball! (See Tuma’s) & no more Christmas Party dancing!

SSgt Randy “Slim” Stinnett (B-Flight Supervisor): Randy has completely converted to Boom from his AWACS days. He has been kicking butt since he’s been here. He is working hard in preparation for CFIC in July. I’m sure he can’t wait to get back to Oklahoma; he misses it after spending all of that time at Tinker. Seriously, Randy has been awesome! He reigned in as our NCO of the Year for 2008.

SSgt Bob “The Shark” Jenkins (C-Flight Supervisor): Bob is a hustler at Golf and Basketball, so beware! Bob has gotten settled and is flying the line, he gets a lot of life support questions, but Big Shot Bob dodges them pretty good. He is deploying for the first time as a boom, and I’m sure he will like it a lot better!

SSgt Roger “Flats” Vula (Mobility): Roger had an interesting time when he first got here; he drove in the wrong way thru the gate and drove over the spikes…thus the nickname. He is working hard trying to stay on momma’s good side, she is 9 months pregnant! Roger retrained out of the 3S Training Manager gig which is nice for me!

SSgt Kelly Donahue (Training Flight): Kelly returned from CFIC, and is kicking butt in Training Flight. She is about 8 months pregnant and we are waiting for yet another baby boom! Kelly really has become the master of the training folder…it’s amazing what continuity does, crazy concept I know! When she is back up to speed, look for a nice gig in Tactics!

SrA Jeremy Pretty (Training Flight): Jeremy has been a TDY, leave and concert going fanatic. He currently has orders to Altus to mate up with his buds, Mike and Jill Miranda. Jeremy has done a great job in training flight and when he gets to Altus, he will do a great job with the students.

118 SrA Austin Arnold (Training Flight): The newly-wed! You guessed it, no more late night shenanigans for this cowboy. Austin is amazing; he is the 36-2903 poster child and a fabulous instructor. He is gearing up to represent us for RODEO and hopefully we hear his named called for some stripes. Austin pulled down the Boom Operator of the Year for 2008. We are anxiously awaiting promotion results for him this year!

SrA Jon “Glazed Donut” LeMessurier (Mobility): We are truly loaded on awesome Airmen, and Jon leads the pack! He is sharp, smart…and a really, really good guy. The only drawback is that he sweats profusely. Every time I see him, he looks like he just got done jumping rope in the attic! Kidding…it’s more like a light misting, anyway. Jon is the man; he has his degree as a geologist, (That’s rocks for the rest of you). SMSgt Cole and I keep trying to slip some reenlistment papers around him, but it doesn’t seem to work. Jon was the 100th Operations Group Airman of the Year for 2008…simply Outstanding!

SrA Danny “Oh Danny Boy” Ingram (B-Flight): Dan was crushed earlier this year when we gave him an additional duty as the Vehicle Control Officer! He dragged out getting spun up on it about as long as humanly possible, but he’s in it now, oh yeah! Dan recently picked up his new Harley Davidson Rocker C, its electric blue with all of the trimmings. I think he gets a daily safety brief from every CMSgt on base…because they want to come look at it, it’s awesome. Dan is one of those crazies who like to run all the time. We have a year left to convince him to re-enlist, wish us luck!

SrA Neil “I’m smarter than you” Patras (Safety): Neil is a big brain guy who questions everything! Although it gets annoying, he’s right most the time. But don’t you go and tell him that. Neil was a BTZ recipient this year; he works really hard in the squadron and does an amazing job. We put him into Safety and he is doing an outstanding job.

SrA Brandon “Just call me Tyler” Williams (A-Flight): You see, it’s spelled Brandon, but it’s pronounced Tyler. Tyler spent his first year and a half here with the wrong name on his nametag. Hilarious! He has purchased about 9 different beaters to drive, and they are all broken down in the dorm parking lot. I think he buys them for $100 and sells them to the junk yard for $200. It’s a great gig, plus he doesn’t run out of late to work excuses...OH SNAP...probably a future CFIC candidate!

SrA Jacob Nenneman “NEMO” (C-Flight): Okay, where do we start…well, my favorite is the: someone broke into my house and can’t fly story. Jake loaded the washing machine out of balance, left, it went crazy, tore up the room and made the dog poop and pee, but the “phantom burglar” didn’t take anything? That’s odd? He still argues this with me...maybe the washing machine is MEGATRON!

A1C John Pena (C-Flight): John like’s to deploy, less Chief Boom visuals in the Deid! He is a machine here; he fly’s a ton. John has dated just about every girl on the base, I always see him with someone new. My favorite memory of John is the old British Ladies Auxiliary DV flight, they took pictures of his butt when he bent over and they called him Poncherello! He had never seen CHIPS I guess, Sgt Cole laughed so hard he couldn’t breathe when he was telling me.

A1C Steven Felger (B-Flight): Back streets back alright! Yep Steven looks like the NSYNC type and he has the Italian super model to prove it. Felger always seems to get the good deals, slacker! Just kidding, he’s funny because when he is in trouble he tries to smile his way out of it! No Dice. Steven is truly an awesome boom, CCAF complete as an A1C, multiple quarterly awards! I see the Ohio ANG in his future and maybe bars if he wants them.

A1C Jon Britton (A-Flight): Jon is slightly older and more motivated than most. He hacked it in the real world for a while with his family, joined the service and has been rocking ever since. Jon does everything you ask of him as fast as humanly possible. MQT and CDC complete within 4 months of being assigned…are you kidding me, awesome! Jon was recently named Airman of the Quarter for the Wing.

A1C Jason “Meat” Coffey (C-Flight): Meat is 6’4, and has about 15 girlfriends on the base. Jason is a really smart and sharp guy as well. He came in with his degree and is like 37 years old or something. Jason loves living in the dorm with the other Airmen, he really connects. He is also one of these motivated guys, he is also CDC complete!

A1C Stephen Michael Barry II (A-Flight): Chas Michael Michaels here is a fabulous skater…just kidding but he does look like Will Ferrell. Steve is a crazy, face painting, no shirt football fanatic. Barry is always hanging out with Coffey; they got here together and stayed glued at the hip. Sometimes, you don’t know when one ends and where the other begins. Steve is a really smart and motivated guy, I expect a lot from him. I think he could be a really good one!

119 Ronnie “Officer” Echavarria (C-Flight): I didn’t know, nobody told me, nobody showed me. Ronnie has been banned from these sayings, so to all booms out there, if he uses one and you catch it…free beer! Ronnie and Jon Pena and usually attached at the hip. It’s a weird relationship; Pena always refers to him as kid? Ronnie has unlimited energy and potential, you just have to steer him in the right direction. He’s a great guy to have around, always happy, always smiling and laughing.

(Best story of the year) This story putts egg on our face, but it’s too funny not to mention. Alright…Ronnie’s coming in to Mildenhall, supervisor decides to dump the airport duty on an Airmen in the flight who passes it to other and you guessed it no one shows up to meet him and to make it worse he has no idea how to take the shuttle bus. Ronnie hails a cab “TAXI! I need a ride to Mildenhall”, $300 bucks later…front gate, walks up to the Security Forces guy, “Hey I’m a new guy”, Oh, okay… right this way. He gets a ride with an LE guy to the SF squadron and starts to in process SF at Mildenhall…2 hours later and a beret fitting, “Hey sir, I’m a boom operator”, What? Oh, hey you are in the wrong place buddy... (Most of the story is true!)

100th Operations Support Squadron

TSgt Jay Scheuer (OSS Tactics): Jay completed CFIC and the universe didn’t collapse upon itself! Just kidding, but seriously, the only people with more time at Altus are those Flight Safety guys! Jay is doing great work for us in Tactics and he is looking forward to finishing yet another school!

TSgt “Sneaky” Pete Rodriguez (OSS Scheduling): Pete is in the middle of the 5th round of his cage match with the Flight Surgeons office. Hopefully he will get back up on status soon; we need him teaching these young ones in the air! Pete has been keeping his chin up and kicking butt in scheduling. He has even managed to keep the peace with Raz.

TSgt Ivan Rasmussen (OSS Scheduling): Ivan, a.k.a. “Raz” a.k.a. Razzifesto is leaving us soon. Raz has been published more than Stephen King. I think he has an uncle that works for the Air Force Times or something. Raz ended his tour as NCOIC in Training Flight and is now working hard as a scheduler, which he has been doing really well at!

SSgt Pat “Lock the Door” Crossland (OSS Scheduling): Are Tops in Blue superstar! Pat came back after his yearlong tour as the lighting director. He brought the show to Mildenhall and the lighting was fabulous! Pat got back to us and then got his house broken in to. He had one of our Flight Safety laptops stolen. Now nobody can check them out…Thanks Buddy! We requalified Pat and he requested to go to scheduling for some stabilization. Pat has been doing a great job, he plans on separating and we wish him the very best!

SrA John “The Bomb” Klosterman (OSS Scheduling): John Klosterman…what can I say about John that hasn’t already been said. This brilliant guy worked his butt off in scheduling for almost two years before separating in February. John was the corporate knowledge and everyone in the wing new it. He joined the reserves and is trying to get into the Intel career field. We miss him already!

Departures:

SMSgt Larry Lewis, AFPC, Randolph: We miss Larry, he doesn’t miss us…yeah he does, except for the sweet golfing! SMSgt Rod “Gigantor” Targos USAFE Stan/Eval now McConnell: We miss the Hot Rod; he would come here and fly the line everyday for his week here, what a stud. You will be missed brotha, best of luck at McConnell! MSgt Jason “Dirty” Resler CRG, Travis! : Ha ha J, I got it in there, that so should be your nickname! TSgt Neal “Hopsing” Husong, Shady J: Never duplicated, unmatched…our overlord is missing! Your picture is still in Stan/Eval. SSgt Clint “Lawdog” Laughman, McConnell: Unbeknownst to you Clint we miss you! SSgt Travis Swinson, Shady J: I don’t miss you, we see you all of the time! SrA Mike Miranda, Altus: We miss Jill more than Mike! Just kidding…a little. SrA Stephen Bowman, SrA Killian Lange, SrA Mike Cerni, and SrA Melissa Collins, all to McConnell: I know you miss us, hahahaha!

“WILDCATS”

Everything is going well at Pease. We have just completed our AEF cycle and had a few other choice deployments. We still have two lines of Bravo and one Charlie at home. Pease couldn’t be a happier place to be right now; we are looking forward to working with the Active Duty. We separated the list by pay status because that is a favorite topic in the halls. Our email addresses are [email protected]

AGR:

Chief Philbrick, Kelly EB - Chief is our program manager and also oversees the military side of working with the Flight Safety simulator. He explained it once but we lost him after he was talking about fiscal responsibility and contracts. He is keeping busy with his wife and two girls and just traded in one ski condo for a bigger one that apparently needed every wall and piece of sheetrock redone by Kelly Inc. He still enjoys snowboarding with his family.

SMSgt Casella, Tony EB – Tony kept the treasure chest of knowledge in his helmet but moved to training. He is still a CSA that can tame even the meanest of demons in a computer. He enjoys spending time with his two boys and wife.

SMSgt Starkweather, Glen EB- Glen just moved over to TTF. He now makes a monthly pilgrimage to WEDGE. He still plans his missions early; which means he plans them often. He finally let go of awards and decorations but he left all of us looking heroic during his tenure. Glen keeps active with four kids and a wife.

TSgt Girouard, Michael IB – Mike is our newest AGR and is still looking over his shoulder. He recently became our newest instructor and was lucky enough to be assigned to scheduling. He has embraced PEX; now if only everyone else would do the same. He enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter and summers at the beach.

Technician:

MSgt Howard, Gary EB – [email protected] Gary has moved to Stan Eval. Maybe all those years in scheduling in CA have made him afraid to get stuck in one place. This is his third office since arriving. He keeps busy with his wife and kids and is very active on the schedule. He still wears his jacket everywhere; if he’s not used to the cool 80 degree summers here he never will be.

MSgt George, Michael IB- Mike is still in scheduling but now buys our missions. He is much happier dealing with other people. He is still married that wasn’t a typo last year. He enjoys time with his family when home. Mike has been DNIF for a little while and really misses flying; he should be back in the jet anytime.

MSgt Beaulieu, Alan IB- Al is still drinking the Blue Kool-Aid and was recently promoted. He can be found carrying a binder with 1522’s whistling about ATMIS, ARMS and other programs that the rest of us know are crap. This year Al has been spotted actually wearing a seatbelt. He is married and bought a house for his family. He keeps busy and enjoys spending time with them. He recently helped form exhibits for the new NH Aviation Museum and did the guard proud.

TSgt Marier, Jamie MB – Jamie is still assigned to publications. I do not know where he finds the time to post changes because he is always flying or on alert. He is still a true technician’s technician; he has the system figured out. His wife and kids are doing great and have gotten used to him always being in crew rest or on call.

121 MPA:

SMSgt Munt, Steve IB – Steve is doing us proud down at the Guard Bureau right now working for A8. He says it joint plans but we think he made that up. He was our Cargo program and passport and security clearance guy. If anyone needs an MBA that can pass gas please contact him immediately. Steve enjoys spending time with his three daughters and wife. He recently became a grandfather too.

MSgt D’orto, Elaina EB - Another retired technician that just couldn’t get enough of us. She is on an MPA tour and is the proud new owner of a titanium hip. She keeps busy with her husband, nieces and nephews.

MSgt Doyle, Jimmy MB – He is still playing the home version of “Flip That House”. He also does other construction work on the side or can be found out spending time with his daughter. Jimmy is still on the tour and BBQ’s for us when needed. He built a base bar with some help; that came out beautiful.

MSgt Blackwell, Sam MB - Sam is still running the O-5, O-4, and E-8 over at TTF. His guard bum security blanket has turned into quite a career. He will hit the magical 20 years very soon. As one of our sharpest booms he is always willing to keep leadership on their toes. Still does everything last minute like an old pro. Sam is married and enjoys time with his wife at their camp.

TSgt Brophy, Mark MB - Mark is still an avid sailor on his sailboat and spends a lot of time on it with his family. Ask him how fast a sailboat moves when you get alerted. He now spends some office time as an alert scheduler.

TSgt Rouleau, Christie MB- Christie was boom of the month out in the desert. She graciously stayed when another boom had something pop up. She flies a lot. Her dog misses her but enjoys time with playing ball with another guard family. She is doing well living nearby in Maine and flying often. She is also an alert scheduler.

TSgt Leonard, Dan MB- We hear he’s still in the squadron and married. Anyone seen him? We keep getting 1042’s on this guy earning him the nickname “DaNIF”. We can’t believe the low profile this guy keeps; he’s like a ghost. He enjoys spending time with his wife.

Traditional:

MSgt Lennon, John MB - John now is a gasman for a MA power company. He has two boys and a wife that keep him busy. John is a great mentor to our younger booms. His new job is a time suck but he still volunteers for everything he can.

MSgt Dunlap, Mike EB - Mike is a proud dad and enjoys time with his wife and daughter. Mike is a juvenile detective with NH’s largest city police department. He recently was selected to be part of the SWAT team. Mike keeps very busy on the outside but recently did the senior NCO course in-residence.

TSgt Luter, Dan IB - Dan is a suit and tie guy that builds skyscrapers in Boston. Dan was selected as Boom of the Month out in the desert. He did an extended tour out there. His youngest is now in college. He and his wife are in the process of building a house down in MA; turns out skyscrapers are easier to build.

TSgt Diaz, Eric MB – Eric is our token firefighter from CT. He has a home up North in a fly-in community. He keeps busy with his family. He is also became a trout trooper (he prefers marine patrol) or the guy that takes the fun out of fishing when you are drunk. He has one of the most hectic schedules with three jobs.

SrA Scheuerle, Anne MB - Anne was also on an MPA tour for a while and is now back to flying for American Eagle. It is tough to keep up with her; we heard she’s getting left seat in Dallas and is buying a condo down there. This year Anne takes the cake for the worst Real Estate story; after months of work her builder went bankrupt during the painting phase.

Retired:

Chief Sneirson, Carl - He stops in occasionally. He is reupholstering cars and driving his wife crazy.

Chief Morgan, Stevie B - Flying as a flight engineer. Can still be found at the local watering hole.

SMSgt Craig, John EB - John retired at 60; he will be missed. He was our most decorated boom. He plans on pounding nails to pass the time.

122

SMSgt Blandina, Mike - Just rumor; but we hear he is delivering appliances.

SMSgt Boucher, Denis – Currently reading meters for a NH power company. People have seen him out working; turns out the grass was pretty green in the guard. We miss him wandering the halls in his PT gear reminding us of the yearly fitness test.

MSgt Lajoie, Dave - He is still in the area. Sweeping floors for God.

MSgt St Cyr, Marc – Power company’s poster boy for a lineman.

MSgt Gibb, John IB – John just retired from TTF. We hear he is painting houses. Why doesn’t anyone call us?

TSgtWalsh, John - Fighting fires in MA. Doesn’t call or write.

MSgt Walter Markwas, USAFE In Flight Refueling Functional Manager: Luck and timing does work. I left Altus-by-the- sea on 19 Dec 08, after 4 years and 6 days, for the greener pasture of Germany. My Family and I are fortunate to have the opportunity to be living and stationed in Europe.

I did not get Mildenhall for the next assignment, but I received the next best thing - I’m attached there for flying. Between SEV’s, SAV’s, and other TDY’s I’ll try to get up there once a month to fly and give checkrides. So if anyone is going to be through England let me know in advance and I’ll try and make that my fly break.

I would like to thank SMSgt Rod Targos and his family, who helped my family and me with the big transition of living in the CONUS to living in Germany. Thanks and Good Luck at McConnell AFB KS!

I’m still refereeing football and basketball and the resident NASCAR expert here as well. Go Steelers and WVU! If anyone is coming over this way let me know, there will always be a good German Beer waiting. Cheers!

603 AOC AIR REFUELING CONTROL TEAM

“WOLFHOUNDS”

603rd AOC/AMD

Hello fellow Booms from the land of Brat’s, Oktoberfest’s and “Gross” Beer’s!! Things here at the 603 Air Operations Center have been very busy, and seems to be getting busier by the day supporting all of our European Air Refueling requests. This year we picked up the air refueling tasking requirements for one of the Air Force’s newest command, AFRICOM. AFRICOM is growing by leaps and bounds and air refueling will be playing a big part in the success of this new command.

Last year, we had a full turn-over of Booms assigned here to Ramstein’s 603rd AOC. Booms that left here last year were MSgt Lucy Molina and SSgt Brian Coomer. They were sent to the Garden State of New Jersey. Myself, TSgt Cy Eckhardt, and SSgt Kai Bresser were the lucky ones to take their place. Our commercial number to our office is: 011-49-6371-405-7114. So, give us a call when you are in the area, we’ll be glad to have a few cold ones and shoot the breeze.

Boom’s assigned to the 603rd AOC/AMD

Frank “V ato” Acos ta Jr.: Boom Superintendent still married to Gracie who is currently working at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center as an RN and enjoying what Europe has to offer. We have 3 kids, Ian Acosta-14yrs old, Regan Acosta-12yrs old, and our newest addition Alek Acosta, 3yrs old. Our contact numbers: 011-49-6375-99-3209 or 011-49-1606-90-8752.

Cy Eckhardt: Our newest OTS selectee! Sometime in the late spring, early summer he will be attending OTS at Maxwell where he will become a brand new 2nd Lt, then off to Nav School, where he’s hoping to land in the back seat of an F-15E. On his off time he races in the local “crotch rocket” series and is getting pretty good at it. He still misses Southern California, and every once and while reminds everyone here how much he really misses it there… His contact number is: 011-49-1744-38- 1733.

Kai Bresser: Our newest addition to the office. He’s back in his “Fatherland” and makes frequent trips up to Frankfurt to visit family and friends. He is married to Stephanie from Vacaville, CA and they have two kids. Sean is 5 yrs old, and Ella is 1 1/2yrs old. They are also enjoying traveling here in Europe. His contact number is: 011-49-6386-40-4692.

Everyone take care and FLY SAFE!!!

130 RANDOLPH AFB, TX

HQ AETC/A3ZM

Greetings from Randolph AFB, Texas. It’s been quite a change to return to AETC. I finally got used to the operational mindset of Grand Forks AFB OGV and going 100 knots every day with ASEV prep and to say that a HQ position is a change- of-pace is a monumental understatement. But, between the normal AETC training issues, FTU assignment questions and manning, the Center of Excellence (CoE) and the Boom Operator Weapon System Trainer (BOWST) I’ve been involved. Oh and being the Editor of the BOOM SIGNAL puts a little extra on the plate during the first half of the calendar year.

I have visited the FTU at Altus AFB a few times already and the flow of students is steady and quality of instructors is still quite high. The schoolhouse has always set the bar high for itself. If anyone is interested in volunteering for a KC-135 FTU Instructor tour (Code 50), go out to AMS and apply. The Code 50 rotations are great and quality IBOs are needed all the time. If anyone has aspirations past MSgt, then you will need an FTU and/or a CRW/CRG assignment in your duty history. Besides showing potential outside of being in a line unit your entire careers (aka, stove-piping) you will have the opportunity to be in a stable environment for your family, stable schedule for educational opportunities and most importantly, you’ll be shaping the next generation of Boom Operators. FTU duty is rewarding. If you are interested please apply, I’m always on the look-out for Volunteers.

The BOWST is coming to fruition. This newest “next-gen” simulator is head and shoulders above the old venerable BOPTT. The future holds promise of an AMC BOWST at each of the line units. And, sometime down the road, you’ll have the capability of flying an integrated mission with the Pilot OFT and a receiver unit OFT. Imagine, flying a complete training sortie without ever leaving the ground. No more incomplete semester training beans! An aircrew member’s dream.

Damn it's hot here! I’m still adjusting to the Texas heat, but am really glad to be home. I got screwed going to Randolph AFB ...literally. I recently underwent shoulder surgery requiring surgical screws to reconnect my bicep muscle. My new office callsign is “Uni-Cep”. But seriously, my family and I are sincerely glad to be back in the home state and can't wait to pick up my golf clubs once again. Getting ready for Altus’ UCI and busy with side issues that only a place like 19 AF can generate. I miss the boom operators at RAF Mildenhall, but I know they are in good hands. Drop me a line if you ever need anything or are in the San Antonio area.

413 FLIGHT TEST GROUP

"EXECUTE FLIGHT TEST TO SUSTAIN AND ENHANCE AIRCRAFT CAPABILITIES FOR THE WARFIGHTER."

Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone we’re still here!!! No mobility, no exercises, NO DESERT deployments and we still get an active duty retirement? We’re like an old Georgia tick, once we find a place to hide; we dive in head first, hold on tight and stay as long as we can.

The 413th FTG is a very unique Group. 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. We don’t provide Operational Control to the Edwards unit, only Administrative Control. The list goes on and on and on…

With that being said, what we do do (did I just say do do?) is 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. As you can tell, working at the 413th FTG is a challenging but very rewarding opportunity. Did I mention the NO DESERT thing? 

CMSgt David “RED” Paullet – Chief is our very first 413th FTG Group Superintendent. Red finally called a “breakaway” from the HQ AFRC Enlisted Aircrew Functional Manager position (after 3 years of smacking his head against the wall) and rolled down the hill to us. I still haven’t decided if he’s a sight for sore eyes or his sight makes my eyes sore!!! He is still married to Kathryn who is in nursing school and they have two great daughters Kayla 8 and Kelsey 6. He said to stop in for a cold one if you’re in town or drop him an e-mail at. [email protected]

SMSgt Brian Buss – Moved to the Group in 2007after 7 years at the 10th FLTS to start up our OGV shop. 12 different weapon systems and only two bodies in OGV…go figure. Love the job, love the weather and love the NO DESERT thing!!! Brian is married to 2Lt Colleen Buss and they are going to have a new baby “boomer” soon. We didn’t know he had it in him.

As you can see, we don’t have too many booms at the 413th FTG. We do, however, have quite a few within our units at Tinker, Lackland and Edwards. Feel free to stop by for some sweet tea, I don’t think they make regular tea here in Georgia, and talk shop or discuss the NO DESERT thing 

SMSgt Jim Zaelit: Jim is working hard getting our E-Pubs going. He recently became a lifelong member of the Hells Angels, Utah chapter.

MSgt Jason Blood: J-Blo is the avid hunter in the group, says he can kill any thing: Got an ex you want to get rid of?

TSgt Jay Avila: “J” has recently become the best barista in the section. If he loses this job he always has a great future at Starbucks. “A good cup of coffee starts with good water”.

TSgt Kurt Armstrong: Kurt just bought himself a new airplane to putt around in on the weekends; it’s a tail dragger so we hope he can learn to drive with his feet.

HQ AIR MOBILITY COMMAND

Fellow Boom Operators,

We serve during an exciting time for our country and the US Air Force Boom Operator. Air Force tankers are across the globe today, serving the refueling needs of cargo movement, weapons delivery, ISR, force extension, aero medical evacuation, force multipliers, and more. Simply put, our tanker capability enables the mobility of our armed forces. Global mobility relies on the continued professionalism and dedication of every boom operator.

The past year has ushered in exciting changes for boom operators. Four new active-associate -135 tanker units are funded and positions are being filled. In addition to Seymour-Johnson, opportunities at Pease, Birmingham, March, and Scott have opened this year. Six new officer-conversion positions were added to the 618th TACC. A KC-135 crew complement increase added 48 new boom operator authorizations to help fill the additional crew requirements for passenger/cargo missions, matching the KC-10 complement. After many years of reducing basing options and sizes, it’s been exciting to develop new choices and opportunities for boom operators.

Our training process continues to mature at the Center of Excellence (CoE) at Lackland AFB, TX. Every CEA (except linguists) begins their journey toward aviation in the same classroom, side by side, forming a common aircrew culture with other future CEAs. The men and women at the CoE have done a remarkable job in a very short time. If your journeys take you that way, make time for a quick visit to this amazing schoolhouse; the 344 TRS on the Medina side is always ready for your visit.

A quick congratulations to the “2008 SMSgt Albert Evans Best Boom Operator Section” winners, the 6th ARS at Travis AFB, CA. By the way, the 6th is a four-time winner…a record! The award was presented during the 30th Annual Boom Operator Symposium at the 135 FTU at Altus. This was a huge event with about 250 attending. General Lorenz provided an outstanding keynote speech proving he knows the boom operator and tanker heritage well. This event improves in attendance and quality each year, please plan to attend the 31st event in April 2010.

Finally, thank you for your continued dedication and professionalism as we continue in the ongoing effort against forces who wish to do us harm. Your sacrifice makes a difference in our world and is appreciated by your fellow countrymen.

DANIEL J. REPP, CMSgt, USAF AMC CEA Functional Manager

“BUZZARDS”

Hello from the “Black Hats”, life is busy as always what with us out on the road “helping” units as much as we can. We are always looking for guest help with inspections so if you ever want to be on the other side of an inspection give us a call.

MSgt Bishop, Jeff “Kl axon” (Active): Jeff joined us at the beginning of the year form McConnell and has already been TDY more than his entire last year at KIAB. Jeff has already moved into planning and the lead NORI planner inspector, ask him about tape tests.

MSgt Munoz, Roman “Pedometer” (Active): Roman escaped from the land of three-holers out west and takes care of our augmentees. If you want to see smoke come out of some one’s hair ask him about auggie worksheets.

TANKER TRAINING

SMSgt Brannen, John: [email protected]. Johnny Bravo is our tanker training policy wonk. Apparently, he’s been working here a while, and mostly doesn’t suck. If there is an additional duty, he’s … uh … oh, never mind. His son will be attending University of Missouri, “Mizzou,” in the fall – Go Tigers! Bravo is headed further west (Travis) later this summer and we wish him and his family all the best in their future rendezvous.

MSgt Cox, Dave: [email protected], Dave is growing old so he’s decided to retire after 25+ years of service. Hats off to Dave for a great career and dedicated service to the Air Force. I can already see him scooting around the commissary and BX in no particular hurry or care in the world. His son will be attending St Louis University in the fall with an ROTC scholarship and wants to follow his dad's footsteps and fly in the Air Force. Maybe he will get to fly the new tanker. Good luck Dave and enjoy the retired life.

MSgt Hunt, Dicky: [email protected]. Dicky is our FNG from the IG. Supposedly he was brought here to work the KC-45 training program, but you all saw the news, so now he’s spends his time working KC-135 taskers and helping out where they need him (Can you say “TMT BIATCH!). With Bravo PCSing and Cox retiring, his screw off time is being significantly reduced. One bright note; his line number for SMSgt will give him the extra pay for the extra work.

“THE LAND OF THE MISFIT BOOMS”

A3M

Mr. Greg Conrad: (SMSgt Ret) [email protected] Wow, another year retired…that makes six! I’m still working as a GS employee running the Theater C2 Operations Branch. Since the last Signal I was able to get T-Nick converted from a contractor to a GS employee. If you’re ever at Scott AFB, look me up I’ll be more than happy to let you buy me lunch.

MSgt Dan Jorgensen: [email protected] Still sitting here at Scott and I guess this is where I will retire, not that it’s a bad thing since we built the house we always wanted. Still in the A staff gig and if your into skipping work and finding excuses to roam the hallways, then definitely look it up. The hardest part of the job is working with all the GPPOSs that still think they are the reason the AF is still functioning. So delusional, but if it wasn’t for them they would ask me to service the urinals!

Mr. Tony “T-Nick ” Nichol son: ( MSgt R et) [email protected] In November 08 I made the switch from contractor to civil service, enjoying the good life now. Same supervisor (Greg Conrad), same office, but picked up a few more duties to include being the new AMD Exercise Fam for AMC. Fran and the boys are doing well, Justin is already 13 and Wyatt 11, they are growing like weeds. If you’re ever in the Scott area and need a place to stay, you are more than welcome to stay with us “We have plenty of room.”

MSgt Geoff Potter: [email protected] I was fully prepared to call it quits and hang them up this summer, but after 12 years of telling me “NO!” AFPC found it in their hearts to give me orders back to Fairchild. Oh, I guess there was something about E-7 manning involved, but that’s beside the point...we’re going home! The wife and kids are looking forward to having a permanent address and putting down roots. I’m looking forward to being an operational boom again and having Uncle Sam pay the bills for a few more years. Insert “Drop by to say hello if you’re ever in the area” statement here.

FMFF

Mrs. Fran Nicholson: (TSgt Ret) [email protected] Fran is doing well; she still works in Foreign Military Sales and gets to go TDY now and then. In her off time she stays busy taking care of her three boys, Wyatt, Justin, and Tony. Fran and Tony ran in the Louis & Clark 1/2 marathon last September during Tropical Storm IKE. Fran and the family are planning a trip to see Mickey in October. Stop in and say Hi if you are in the area.

A6XP

MSgt Chris Hoctor: (Retired) -- Still surrounded on all 4 sides by corn. Neck deep in staff… crap. Working contracts and sometimes gets to participate in aircraft communication work. It’s a far cry from air refueling, but occasionally calls out “Back 4” in meetings just for fun. “Boom Operators are making history, making tremendous sacrifices, and doing it with jets that are about 15 to 52 years old”!

141 A6IM

MSgt Dave Harrison: (Retired) -- Retired in ‘97; and has been working as a contractor testing C2 software for AMC ever since. Likes very much having a job where he can still support the AF. Spends most of his free time (after family obligations - honey do’s) playing golf and enjoying a home (Lebanon, IL) with a backyard pool. Previous assignments were Plattsburgh NY, 78-87, and Beale AFB 87-94. Drop a line if you like. [email protected]

A3T, Aircrew Training Resources

Jim Wood: (Retired) -- Enjoying working the C130 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.

XOO

MSgt B rown-Davis, P atricia: [email protected] Pat is currently in charge of all us misfits. She is the “XOOK” Superintendant. That really means, “We have to put a boom operator in charge over the rest of them so they don’t start sacrificing animals. “ She is more of the mother hen than Attila the Hun. Pat has been here for almost 3 years now. She just bought a house and is enjoying being a homeowner.

XOOKP – Coronets

MSgt Keiser, Wayne E.: [email protected] General Napoleon Keiser, I mean Clock watcher, no…slave driver, no… boss, no… God… or maybe it’s simply he is just another MSgt--no oak leafs yet. He launched a failed presidential campaign, web ads and all, but lost without a flagpole to fly around. He lives so far out in the country that he moonlights as a pony express rider. Would launch his missions and ensure work is being done by the peons from home but his town hasn’t discovered the internet yet—let alone cable TV. He started out with rabbit ears but, has finally discovered the DISH network. Doesn’t participate in unit pt – doesn’t have to… He’s a volunteer firefighter in his settlement and gets a great workout on the bucket line. Wanted to be one of the Keystone cops but his bum knee wouldn’t hold up. Has a gambling problem so severe that he has initiated financial planning activities for us all but unfortunately still loses a 20 spot a month. You would think that these important self improvement sessions could take place during the duty hours but he insists that we hold them on the weekends…what gives boss? Has our signatures on file, this ensures signing “paperwork” is no longer necessary, sometimes we don’t even get to read it. No mission is too challenging, would take them all if he could get a couple more bodies.

TSgt Blackburn, Tim: (aka Brokeback): [email protected] Tim is our go to guy here in Coronets. He is so skilled that it's borderline criminal! He doesn't even need to show up to launch his missions. Seems to make more drug runs than the Colombian Cartel. Easily confused by simple math and has been heard saying, “1554Z minus 15 minutes, Hey Sean, what’s 54-15?” Tim has been fighting a back issue for a long time now. It seems to hurt him to run, do sit-ups/push ups, and additional duties. Tim is the backbone of this shop!

TSgt Wall, Sean: (akaThe Fast and the Furious): [email protected] It’s been a difficult year for Sean. First he blew up his most favorite possession in the world, his corvette. Bent a rod, cracked the block, the gerbil fell out the bottom, something like that. After about 8 months in the shop, and untold thousands, he finally got it back. He had to go pick it up on a trailer, but it was back. New intake here, new turbo there, and whala, the engine will still not run because of a vibration he can’t find. Next, his wife’s Celica gets run over the week after his vet blows up. 6 months later and it just got out of the shop. And last but not least, the stick turned blue! That’s right; Sean is going to be a father. I’ll just let that one sink in for a moment. For the love of god, if you send him gifts we are begging you to send everything that you can in the RIVAL colors of the Cowboys!

TSgt Cox, Eric: (Woody): [email protected] Woody is a new addition to us this year. He has fit right in. On a sad note, he recently lost Rosie. Let me explain. Vicky did not move out to Illinois with Woody. That means he goes weeks without seeing her. Recently, Woody had to have wrist surgery because of over use. Woody is fine, but his wrist might never be the same, so he has had to switch to the left hand, but memories still linger. We can always tell if Vicky visited over the weekend by his demeanor on Mon.

XOOKS – Short Notice

MSgt Lambert, Donnie: [email protected] Loving it here at Scott, still trying to adapt to all the space in the new house, miss the Altus trailer park and the 5th wheel. At least no more cracked cinder blocks.

143 SMSgt Ward, James: IMA in XOOKS, Civilian in XOPE, loving life here at Scott.

XOOKT – Homeland Defense

CMSgt Glast, Erskin (Retired): Recently moved from Coronets into Homeland Defense.

Placide, Laroche (Retired): Recently moved from Coronets into Homeland Defense.

XOON - Task Force 294 Division

MSgt Mason, Steve:

TSgt Prothe, Brett: [email protected] Brett just arrived here from Altus. What can you say about Brett? Shows up late and leaves early. Can always be counted on to be the last to volunteer. Has a minimum of 4 doctor’s appointments a week. He is the shops go-to guy, too bad he is never at work. If the shop had 99 Brett’s, we would need 1 more just take out the trash. Hey Brett, maybe next year when your office gets tasked to write these, you will actually write it. Who loves ya!!

XOBK – Tanker Barrel

Mr. Norris, Jim : [email protected] One of the two civilian in the “Tanker Barrel.” Jim took over as the Short Range Tanker Chief last May. General Le May is probably turning over in his grave: BOOM OPERATORS IN CHARGE OF THE TANKER FLEET! Jim’s probably going to be here a little while longer; like most investors, he took a pounding in the stock market in the fall of 2008. We are told, once his wife, Glenda, pins on Lt Col, he’ll probably buy a newer Goldwing (with the new airbag option) and ride across the country full time. . For those of you who don’t know both of Jim’s sons are boom operators in Kansas; one in the 931st ARG at McConnell (Wichita) and the other is in the 190th ARW at Forbes Field (Topeka). It makes easy to chat with the boys even when they are overseas. If you are coming out to Scott look him up; he’s usually has beer and brats on hand.

Mr. Garrett, Doug: [email protected] The 2nd civilian in the “Tanker Barrel.” Seven years in the Tanker Barrel on Active Duty wasn’t punishment enough, now there’s no end in sight. Doug is keeping busy working the Horseblanket, long range Coronet tankers, computers, and trying to keep Jim out of trouble. He’s still hoping to cash in his Arkansas 401K, also known as the Powerball.

MSgt(S) O’Connor, Mike: [email protected] One of the high time guys in the Tanker Barrel. He’s been told they’re moving him this summer, but it just seems to be a pipe dream at this point. It’s how we keep him motivated. Mike made MSgt this cycle so maybe he can finally get that Camaro to move under its own power. Although, it may just crumble when removed from its tomb. Mike is still a man of many words. We can’t shut this guy up!

MSgt(S) L ove, Jeremiah "Doc" : [email protected] Future CMSAF Love, this guy is burning faster than magnesium. Slow down Doc, it's lonely at the top! The newest boom in the Tanker Barrel and came here as the Air Force's cheap hire to replace a field grader. He's finding out that it's no different than his long tenure at McGuire; he still spends half of his day answering questions from the pilots and FEs. Now that he's made MSgt, maybe he'll let a few others win an award or two. Used to be an avid car guy, but with the estrogen of three women flowing through the house he's more about taking pictures and holding hands during long walks on the beach now.

144 XOPM – Global Readiness Directorate

MSgt Dec ou, Da vid “S tu”: [email protected] Still at TACC; currently is overachieving as the XOP Executive Officer. He is the current President of the Scott AFB “Gateway” Boom Operators Association. Can be witnessed living the RV life in a 39ft fifth wheel toy hauler.

MSgt Him , R afael: [email protected] Recently promoted to XOPM manager and TACC Top 3 President. He is attempting to gain local celebrity “shop owner” status in New Baden, IL; flowers, coffee, shaved ice, subs, etc. Ran for local Mayors office, came in 3rd place. Way to go Raf.

MSgt(S) Phillips, Da niel: [email protected] Dan came to TACC from McGuire (Yep another one) and spent his first six months here at home waiting for his security clearance. He claims that he wasn't allowed in the building without one. It was to prepare him in receiving a sloped head to become a T-tail scheduler—hopefully the change is reversible. Hey, Dan do you remember what the “K” stands for in “KC”? On a lighter note Dan has a beautiful daughter that loves to flirt with the boys—Sean and Otto beware he claims to have a big gun! Dan keeps on telling his daughter that it is normal for men to lose their hair, “I don’t care how everyone else looks, and remember dear, bald is beautiful.” Use to be "Dan the Man", but now sheds a tear while watching his daughter play, what happened? I think that Nancy has him well trained. In his single days he used to have visions of women dancing in his head, now the only thing dancing up there is the vision of a new Mustang. Too bad he will only get a Hot Wheel version.

TSgt Ottenwess, Christopher "OTTO": [email protected] From number two in charge to the bottom of the food chain in one false swoop. He is the newest member of TACC/XOPM, and still playing hockey with the best of 'em, when he's not icing down his 30 year old knee's. Secretly, we think he will be trying out for the Chicago Blackhawks since he's their number one fan. Still a ferocious go-getter, but is trying to find ways to occupy his time due to lack of EPR's to work on.

Chief Lee Winter : (retired) – Lead tanker analyst and recently received PMP certification. Lee finally had to buy a dog to control the girls; I mean the herd of horses. Since Lee’s shoulder surgery, physical therapy is becoming his favorite pastime.

John "Rubble" Felisky (Retired) -- Still living in Troy, Illinois, working for Boeing. Switched careers within the company, and is now a Supplier Program Manager on the F-15/F-18 crew stations. Little league baseball coaching, teenage daughter who's now dating, and finishing up an MBA has left little time for keeping up with old friends...but he’s trying. But hey...he is on Facebook, so he’s not completely isolated.

Atlas Air

Les McPeak (Retired)—Les and Lorrine are the proud parents of two USAFA grads and three future Oklahoma University Grads. They hit their 30th anniversary this year. An abundance of medical problems of late have caused outrageous weight gain which Les is hoping to loose on his bicycle rides. Currently a local realtor who enjoys helping people find their "home" of choice.

ADSI

SMSgt Jacob "Jake" Benscoter (Retired) -- Retired in 1997 and went to work for the great Anheuser-Busch company as the computer guy. He retired from A-B, moved back home to Pennsylvania and got married. He’s been working on the new tanker for over 4 years now as Chief Boom and VP of technical services for the subsidiary ADSI.

Eden, Jim CMSgt (Retire d) – Currently working for the Athletic Director, at O'Fallon Township HS as the athletic grounds manager for OTHS and the new 9th grade center. He’s been coaching baseball in the fall, at Pontiac JHS, since 2003. Moving up in the world; going from coaching freshmen, to the JV squad. Big step-up for him; should be fun. Yes, baseball pretty much consumes him from February through October each year. Retirement has been good. Still living here in O'Fallon, IL, married, and his oldest just finished college as the youngest started his first year in structural engineering. “Finally got rid of the oldest one and made money. Looking to get rid of the youngest one and enjoy another pay raise....College is killing me”.

Randy Seip (MSgt retired) Randy and Marla enjoy spending time with their five grandchildren and getting out and about the St Louis area. Look us up if you're ever in town.

Scott Konieczka (SMSgt Retired 2005) Married to KellyBeth for 15 years November of 2008, seems like yesterday we were at the Barksdale Chapel. Bryan will be a senior at SIU-Carbondale and Matt will be starting the 8th grade. Still working for Federated Software Group, which Boeing bought in 2008, so now we are a subsidiary of Boeing. Going to use the new GI Bill as soon as I can, still deciding on what graduate degree to add; I'll have my mind made up by next year.

Tina Wa llace: Just passed over the 10 year retirement mark. Time flies when you’re having fun. Working for Northrop Grumman as a functional support rep for CAMPS in the TACC and being run ragged as a soccer/football mom for two teenagers.

MSgt Mike Trace, KC-10 (Retired): [email protected] It's hard to believe that the boom was stowed over 12 years ago and I am still at Scott sitting at a desk. Working at USTRANSCOM moving freight on the ground..who would have thought there are trucks moving freight so tankers don't have to..remember the Pacific Express. Rumor has it the project is moving to that new Army outfit at Scott which means I may get to go green.. ugh! The Army guys are so confused always asking where the PX/Commissary is located. I send them to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. Seriously, it's good to see the younger booms taking on the challenges of today's missions and excelling in every way and I am looking forward to reading the next signal. It's also great to hear the new stories at the monthly Scott Boomer's call (when I can get away). BTW, I think I still owe dues.

Randy "Critter" Crittendon : Doing well in Kokomo. Up to my ears in kids and grandkids . . . baseball, basketball, and soccer games . . . school functions . . . working on a house we purchased about a year ago . . . mowing the lawn 'cause the grass keeps growing back . . . trying to figure out the whole "balance the pool's pH" thing (grrr). . . using the RV with Jackie and the family whenever we can.

KC-10

SMSgt Jeff Russell: After finally navigating his way out of the west coast fog, Jeff has made it to the Midwest. His family got to see that winter also includes snow and cold not just rain and sun. He has settled into the ways of HQ life. He has learned that if you make a smart @$$ comment to the boss that you will get extra work—he is now the HQ oracle, TODO, and AMC sup Vol 2 poc. Jeff is also looking to make his mark up here, he decided to ensure A3T knows who is the boss in Jeff’s own kind of way. He is already looking for his next division to challenge.

MSgt Todd McPeak: Do we really need to say anything more? As Todd will tell you, he is the busiest man in AMC trying to keep his two KC-10 units walking the straight and narrow, working the ATP-56B, keeping all A3V computers up and running, and struggling through the KC-10 ADDENDA A. There's not enough time to put down on paper the responsibilities this man bears. Todd keeps this place running and without him we would all be doomed! Keep up the great work Todd...Jack of all trades, master of none. Dale Jr fan...dear Lord! All we hear is "it's the crew chiefs fault, it's the crew chiefs fault". Nevermind that Dale Jr. can't drive. Hell Todd, the man works for the best organization in NASCAR! Todd is like the boys from NASCAR always turning left and taking someone out. But like Dale Jr, it's never his fault....

KC-135

SMSgt Dan Smith: Dan has decided to become the “Bionic Boom”--had a little surgery on his ankle and shoulder. This almost drove Dan crazy due to it reduced his TDY days and he had to spend more time in the office—actually doing work. He did avoid the insane asylum and finally got requalified recently—had to get his last look at Grand Forks. He now can’t wait to get back out into the system so beware.

SMSgt Troy Doane (Outbound): After some wheeling, dealing and secret handshakes Troy has found out where he is going—Altus….no Pease….okay March—for now. He is looking forward to being able to ride his Harley 10 months out of the year instead of normal 3 months that IL allows. He is already looking into flak vests, assault rifles and armor plating for his Jeep for his impeding PCS to Cali. Troy’s insightful comments will be sorely missed up at Stan/Eval—see you at the ASEV Troy!

MSgt Jeff LeDoux: Everyone better watch out the “Mudbug” has been on the war path due the poor performance of his beloved LSU “Kittens” last year. Time will tell if he settles down, but with their poor recruiting class this year I am sure there will be more smoke in the city for all the -135 units this year. Jeff and Troy have started a mini motorcycle gang. They are always out riding on the weekends when the weather is nice, matter of fact they look like a scene out of “Wild Hogs”. Jeff finally got out and became an exec for an ASEV—luckily it was in Mississippi and low and behold everyone actually understood him.

MSgt Michael Ward (Inbound): Inbound from Altus. Welcome to cubical land, you may want a GPS!

“HOME OF THE MID-AMERICA MILITIA”

Greetings from the 108th located at Scott AFB. It has been a “fun” filled year with deployments, flood duty, TDY’s, and integration. We have recently finished our conversion to the R-model and beginning our integration of active duty counter parts, to become a Guard Active Duty associate. We spent a couple weeks in Quincy, IL spending our nights sleeping in a gymnasium and our days filling sandbags to reinforcing the levy. Our bucket time in Manas, was quick and without any major injury. SOUTHCOM and PACOM guys came back with great tans and a couple big fish stories. Other than that we are adjusting to life showing the active duty guys the meaning of Guard. This year we saw a couple new folks come in and a couple of dear friends retire.

MSgt Dan Brown: Currently resides in Florida and is still hanging in there as a part timer, just barely.

SMSgt Bill Buckwa lter: Bucky, is still at NGA, formally NIMA. Bill has more officers working for him than his flight commander.

TSgt Mark Buzenski: Buzz has his 20 in and will fini flight in Feb 2010. Although retiring, he will continue to direct flights around the Chicago center area.

TSgt Jamie Castillo: Jim is the BMOC at Enterprise rent-a-car. Give him a call if you need an upgrade.

MSgt Doug Doeding: Double D, is one of our most active part timers. If he is not in prison, you can find him at the squadron or getting gelato.

MSgt Paul Fusek: Short Fuse is still a computer geek contractor over at AMC. He is more than willing to help out anyone with PFPS problems, give him a call.

CMSgt Sam Gerros: Chief is still waiting for the Cubbies World Series victory party. When not watching the Cub he could be found winning runner up in the Chief’s Cook-off. His specialty is Baklava!!

SMSgt Matt Glover: G-Lover just retired, and enjoying the good life. He has taken on a part time job and earning his gold wings at FTD.

SSgt Jameson Liggett: Jenna is our newest boom. Just got back from survival school, he is now training in the vault, then on the road. He is an energetic Guard bum looking for next score.

148 MSgt Chris Meinken: Chris is our UDM, UTM, Sexual Assault Victims Advocate, if you ever need training on deployment readiness or assaulting someone Stooge style he’s your man.

TSgt Pat McCauley: Little Fireman is all grown up and is now a Lieutenant, but he is homeless.

SSgt N athan Moore: The “Tank” still locked in the vault for a few more years. It has been confirmed the little tank is enlisted, just look at his flight suit. Little tank is seen more than daddy Tank.

MSgt John Reed: Reeder is the last original survivor in Current OPS and for some reason he is the only crew member who never has any problems with his pay.

SMSgt Robert Rizzo: Riz is the Big Toe of the unit. He is still in Stan/Eval and has been there longer than anyone has been in the squadron.

SSgt Kate Shoemake: “New Girl” Came to us via “palace chase” from Altus where she was an instructor. She has been our go to girl (woman) since she got here, a real go getter.

TSgt Chris Slater: C-Turtle is a great part-timer who will be our next instructor. Still works for the DEA and finally passed the reigns of the largest shirt collection.

SMSgt Keith Wagner: “Wags” Left us to pursue a short AGR tour on the other side of the ramp with the new A3N. With his new job we only see him if it’s dark out or there is free food.

TSgt Chris Zahner: Still a traditional, Chris was recently hired on at Boeing to design parts for the NEW A-10, Next project is to design a cup holder for the OLD boom pod.

911ARS

“RED EAGLES”

Hello from North Carolina. It’s been a good year for the 911th booms as we are fully operational over a year earlier than required. We are doing our part with the deployment schedule as well as covering numerous other trips. As the first active associate unit we have had our share of growing pains. I’m proud to say that the reserve and active booms have played well together. We have merged together so well (as booms should do) that the other career fields really took notice. We are also setting examples for other units to follow as they come on line. The phone is always ringing with questions about standing one of these hybrid units up? We are looking forward to another great year filled with lots of adventure.

SMSgt Tim Clark – Chief Cook and Bottle Washer. Trying to keep these guys out of trouble and so far the favor is being returned. Loving life as a single college student. Always trying to get student and Military discounts combined on beer purchases.

SMSgt Dan Michener – Stan Eval Guru. Keeping us in line with periodic no-notice evals. Always trying to order us some new cool equipment. Probably missed his calling as logistician. Currently TDY to shut down a certain unit in a certain place.

TSgt Neal Husong – My “go to guy” for just about everything. Does most of the body scheduling for the active side of the house. Recently became obsessed with his lawn. Spends his free time buying fertilizer and yelling at neighbor kids to stay out of his yard.

TSgt Jayson Chatham – Recently took on a roommate for some extra income. Unfortunately all that driving to and from Georgia uses all that extra money. Needs to find a woman instead of a feminine looking man for a roommate but he’ll take what he can get.

TSgt Garry Isbell – Our full-time scheduler keeping us lined up with sorties to cover. Will he ever grow out of his Boy Scout phase? Burnt down a shed and got a hernia building a new one. Said he wants to go back to Altus for another tour.

SSgt Jessica Elmore (Chambers) – Married a rock star and had his baby in February. In the process of getting requalified now. You may see her in the desert sometime soon. Not sure how she is going to breast feed from there but she says she’s got it figured out.

A – Flight

SSgt Earl Mayhew – Our resident secret agent man/pirate. Prefers deer hunting from an airboat. Drives a big diesel truck and wishes it was an airboat. Looking for part time work as a human cannonball or airboat driver.

SrA Adam Craft – Finally getting around to having a wedding even though he’s been married for 1.5 years. Still driving his monster truck with the train horn. Spends too much money on guns and ammo.

SrA Ray “Rayjay” Johnson – Riding his motorcycle all the time. Loving life as he spends free time with the wife and daughter. Recently won every award possible while at Airman Leadership School. That same night he was referred to by the wing commander as a reservist. Will sew on SSgt soon.

SrA Ashly “Pickles” Peek – Always on a trip somewhere. One of these days we will have to keep her in town long enough to complete her CBTs. When she is in town she drives a car that has tires so worn you can see the air inside them.

150 B – Flight

TSgt Jon Taylor – Another member of our motorcycle gang. Always behind on everything except chow time and quitting time.

SrA Chris Yontz – Still drives his orange car (The Cobra). Will sew on SSgt soon. Recent ALS grad. Still looks like Charlie Brown and still proud of being from Cleveland. Did you know they invented nearly everything there?

SrA Sena “Princess” Alfaro – Transferred over to the 77th ARS in February. Even though she went over to the “dark side” and wears Reserve Command patches we still see her around once in a while when she comes in to fly.

A1C Andrew Heacock – The leader of our motorcycle gang. Trains attack dogs in his spare time. I pity the fool who tries to break into Andrew’s home.

C- Flight

SSgt Travis Swinson – Our resident turfgrass, deer hunting, fishing, boating, carpentry and family counseling expert. Recently bought a fleet of vehicles with his bonus money. Upgraded his family with another son in April.

SrA Sean Gilson – Vice President of our motorcycle gang. Still has on his training wheels though. Will sew on SSgt soon. Eyeballing an Altus tour to get close to home and out of the desert for a while.

SrA Dan Miller – Our resident lawyer. Taking classes and hoping to pass BAR exam someday. Gained 30 pounds when he started dating a pastry chef. He can still outrun the rest of us though. I don’t know how he does it.

77 ARS

“HOME OF THE TOTIN’ TIGERS”

A big "Hey Y'all" from the booms here at the 77th, "Home of the Totin' Tigers". Chief Martin is still with Boeing and is moving to Mc Connell AFB as the Wing Command Chief. The 77th booms passed ASEV, and the Wing passed the UCI and NORI this past year. We will be activated and we will deploy to two different locations. The 911th ARS has moved in. They have a pretty good bunch of folks. SMSgt Tim Clark is in charge over on the active duty side of things. Will be moving into our new combined 77th/911th Squadron building this fall so come and visit us. If you're in town, give us a holler and we'll take you out for some Carolina barbeque and sweet tea! 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. So if your 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.

Blue Skies, TONY PARIS, CMSgt, USAF 77 ARS Program Manager

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.

SMSgt Barry "Stan Evil" Bradley - Barry is our Stan/Evil Hammer boom. No more teaching technique for him anymore! Those who can't teach evaluate as they say. Barry has put 6K on his Harley to include an 8 mile dirt road trip in the NC Mountains so he could ride the 318 turn 11 mile “Tail of The Dragon”. Rowdy’s Harley influence has not lead Barry to follow him to the AGR world at Tinker.

TSgt Rich “Bowl O’ Chili” Bonicelli - Rich is a new ART and our newest instructor. He's a favorite at story time in the break room. If you want to know about the Bronze Age or anything obscure, just ask. He's our very own Cliff Clavin. He is now a veteran building manager and will continue his legacy in the new Combined OP’s building.

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 “English, Spanish, and Trooper”.

MSgt David “Chando” Chandonnet - Dave is still a computer guy at heart but he’s perusing his Doctor Chando degree. He’s also a proud papa to baby Danielle and son Cameron. Dave is considering leaving the Boom world to complete school. May be he will come back as Dr. Chando!

MSgt Keny “Dammit” Fa llin - Keny is in Scheduling. He is a dad to a baby girl name Ava Grace. He still believes that Budweiser is the only beer and Van Halen with David Lee Roth is the ultimate rock and roll band. His wife still allows him to listen to Van Halen. I guess marriage ain’t so bad.

SSgt William “The Noid” Frazer - He’s back at work with his civilian employer and is prepping for his first Activation as a boom operator. We still don’t know who he is but one day

152 SrA Brice “S urfer” Hayden - Brice is living near Myrtle Beach now. He has moved to the Georgia Air National Guard in Savannah to be a C-130 pilot. Graduates from OTS on 26 June 2009. Lord help us all!

TSgt Tara “Scratch ‘n Dent” (formally known as Hopewell) Kirkpatrick - Tara is a married and now a Kirkpatrick. Tara is still keeping her rep up as the accident professional. She has another new car # 12 we think. Don’t ask her how she got the car; do ask her how one of our pilots got a new front tooth.

MSgt Kevin “Ticket” Hughes - Kevin is a married man now. He spends most of his extra money on his Custom built 40,000 square foot Palace. His pocket change is going to the Vette.

CMSgt Sean “Bimmer” Martin - He is moving to McConnell as the Wing Command Chief. Chief Martin is still selling tankers for Boeing as a Test Boom in Wichita KS. He spent so much time this past year in Japan he can barely speak English anymore.

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 on occasion he will bring some of his homemade brew in so we all can enjoy a shot.

MSgt William “Grandpa” Norris - William is the orders guy and body scheduler. He also is reliving his biker days now that he’s back on two wheels. William is also still in training to be one of our evaluators. It’s a slow process, he is a grandpa after all.

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 did buy her a new Infinity with her money of course!

CMSgt Tony Parris - Chief Parris is back in the fold as the boss this time. He took a job at Andrews a few years ago. He got tired of the big city life and is glad to be back in the Tiger Squadron. Chief still enjoys his Volvo wagons but we are trying to influence him into the Harley world. We’re glad to have him back.

SSgt Jeremy Reynolds - Jeremy came to us from active duty, Grand Forks to be exact. His wife is from the Wilmington area and they decided to move out of the land of “Frickin Cold” and back to the land of “Frickin’ Hot”. Jeremy has said “financial advisor what in the hell was I thinking” money launderer still a possibility, Boom Trough-er will do for now…

MSgt Rodney “Rowdy” Smith - Rowdy left the TotTin’ Tiger World for the AGR world at “TWISTER AFB” (Tinker) as a Test Boom. He joins SMSgt Rick “Pushrod” Powell. Rowdy will have more time now to enjoy his New Bumble Bee Yellow Vette and his Harley, since he doesn’t fly (much), no AR, no TDY, and no Harley guys to ride with. He still trying to convince Barry to go to the dark-side (AGR Test Boom). Was a part of the Totin’ Tiger Biker Gang.

MSgt Billy “Mr. Thursday Night” Somerville - B.J. is our regular Thursday night flyer (hence the nickname). B.J. got his wife a Harley and is joining her on his Road King. He’s also reliving the glory days with his hair …well, collar blowing in the wind. After going to Egypt and refueling the Egyptian Air Force BJ rides his Harley like an Egyptian!

TSgt Steven "Butter-bean, aka Loverboy" Stanton - Steve is now an ART. A former marine and CH-46 helo gunner/crew chief/mechanic, He's Training guy replacing Rowdy (Grey hair & all) and he is still our ground safety rep as well. Steve is also a Harley Davidson owner (Rowdy & Barry influence) and a part of the Totin’ Tiger Biker Gang.

A1C Andrew “Ricky Jug’s” Steuart - He is our newest and brightest Boom fresh out of Altus and has already been Mission Certified. He is Steve Stanton’s first training flight student Boom world watch out! Drew the “Yes I Will Do it” man is our go to Boom, if needs to get done or know one will do it; he’s the Boom to go too.

Booms of Yore SMSgt Rick Powell is at Tinker AFB, OK doing the depot thing. MSgt Randy Palumbo planning on retiring June 09. SMSgt Brad Baxter is at Scott AFB, IL. SMSgt Jamie Ward is at Scott AFB, IL. SMSgt Ronnie Wade is retired and moved back to Kansas. SSgt Mike Harston is pilot Capt Mike Harston up at McGuire and wants to come back to SJ.

“HOME OF THE BATS”

Greetings from Iowa and the banks of the “Mighty Mo”. It’s hard to believe another couple of years have gone by and it’s time for another Boom Signal. Even harder to believe, is that this will be my final Boom Signal entry. My career as Boom Operator has been nothing short of amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing. But, my time has come and I’m ready to hand over the reins to the next generation! It has truly been a pleasure being associated with so many “Great Americans” that make up our career field. Good luck to you all!

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 James Hill, AGR – ext. 0205 – I came in as a boom in May 1985 and after 24.5 incredible great years I have decided to pursue a second career. I am not sure how fruitful my career has been for the DoD but I sure have had a blast through it all. I will probably be in Texas by late Fall 2009, but anyone in the list below will always be able to give you my current contact information. Hope to see all of you guys at the symposiums!

STAN/EVAL

SMSgt Phil Fra nk, OGV Boom, AGR – ext. 0244 – Once I leave Phil will be the last remaining outsider hired from conversion. He too was an Altus IB and is coming up on 23 years as a boom. Phil is a great guy and has played a huge part in all the units’ outstanding achievements since conversion. I believe his plan is to stay here at least until his two daughters graduate college which should be in 6-7 years. Call him if you need any help standing up PEX. He claims that was the best year of his life converting Stan/Eval to PEX.

SMSgt Al Mast, EB, AGR – ext 0235 – Al does a little bit of everything and has worked very hard in the squadron. He flies and goes TDY a lot, and also carries the T.O. program in Stan/Eval which is no small feat. His nickname is “Angry Al” but I still call him Grandpa. Al is very knowledgeable in most all things unless you put a keyboard in front of it.

TRAINING

MSgt Chuck Heald, EB, Technician – ext. 0267 – Chuck was thrown in Training a couple years ago to do the job that most units would only trust to a very highly experienced instructor. He has done very well in the unit and will be a huge contributor to the Units future outstanding achievements.

MSgt Chuck Griminger, IB, Technician – ext 0262 – The Griminator has an IQ higher than any two of us combined, and can quote most anything of significance pertaining to the boom career field. As a hobby I think he is working in his garage to create the first home use nuclear reactor to supply power to his home. In all seriousness I never have any worries on training issues and I think they could pass a no-notice ASEV on a daily basis. He is a little quite though; the only time he ever talks to me is about the third week of Dec to tell me I am the only one with all my CBTs left to accomplish.

154 CURRENT OPERATIONS

MSgt Lee Phelps, IB, AGR, – ext 0234 – Lee was our first home grown IB and has jumped around the squadron and worked in many different areas. I think he has found a home in current ops for a while and does a very good job in that shop. You don’t see him a lot though because he is always signed up on the trip board and is the go to guy for last minute TDYs.

SCHEDULING

SMSgt Jay Doran, IB, AGR, – ext 0261 – Jay has been in scheduling for a while now and I don’t believe the scheduling shop would survive long without him. He cares for the people and works in scheduling; quite the twist on scheduling concepts. Jay has a long history in MX and was hired out of QA. You’ll be able to pick Jay out of a crowd if you just happen to be discussing one of the annoying and silly procedures in the tanker and one of the boom’s pop out a “whatever, sport.”

TSgt Jason Stoos, IB, Technician, – ext 0261 – “Where’s my AGR slot!” Jason does very well in the scheduling shop also, but is single, (again), and likes to be on the road. He is the only person I know who the OG had personally asked me to educate on what “protection” means in the single world.

WEAPONS AND TACTICS

MSgt Dave Dietrich, IB, AGR, – ext 0261 – Dave is another IB who has been tossed around many shops. He is very smart and flexible and we tend to abuse him for having such good qualities. He is our weapons and tactics boom on the UMD but really works in Plans in the ever growing 8010 world. When Plans is not close to any exercises or inspections he hangs out in current ops helping those guys out. Dave was one of my best pro active TDY guys until he met his new girlfriend. Dave traded his new Harley for a camping trailer and has just recently got out of work to go to an Elton John concert with his new love. I think that just about says it all.

COMBAT CREW COMMUNICATIONS

TSgt Misty McNamara, MB, Technician – ext 0281 – Misty is the workhorse of the squadron. She is always smiling and willing to go anywhere or accomplish any project at any time. She is another one we abuse because of good qualities and personality traits. We are currently only one deep in full timers in the Crew Comm shop so she is assigned there to help out. Everybody likes Misty here but it does cause the Chief Boom a little grief when the Wing Commander has to personally tell her to slow down while driving on base in her mustang.

TRADITIONAL BOOM MAFIA

MSgt Tim Ireland – Tim is a hard working and reliable traditional that has steady availability for flights and trips. Tim is single, has a lake cabin, teaches school and is going back to school to get his Master’s. He constantly complains about having to please all the women in his life, but I think that he is trying to settle down with that special someone now. I just hope that he doesn’t start getting out of work to go to Elton John concerts.

MSgt Dudley Joines – I consider Dudley as one of my most experienced traditionals and he even deployed with the active duty for 90 days of fun and sun in the sand. He still works for the Sioux City Police Department and at 6’4” still enjoys knocking down doors and scaring the wee wee out of young delinquents. Dudley is also one of those traditionals that likes to “give as much as he can to the Guards.” (Which actually means he is an expert at maximizing guard funding of the Joines family)

MSgt Marshall Hill – Although he is no relation to the Chief Boom I certainly would accept him as family. Marshall is a great boom and has good knowledge of the -135 AFIs and T.O.s. Even with 63 kids in his house he still finds time to go TDY anyplace and anytime. He works for the Post Office normally but through our conversion days, etc., I have employed him here for most all of this past year.

155 TSgt Mike Dunlop – Mike is somewhat of a stranger these days because he picked up a full time job and moved about three hours away. He still impresses me with his boom skills and overall knowledge, especially for being a part timer. Mike is also a professional photographer, and we have certainly used his skills on occasion. Maybe when we go to refueling by remote camera he will be a better boom operator.

TSgt Andy Pick – Andy is one of my 3 true traditionals. By this I mean he has a steady civilian job that is hard to get him out of which leads to little flying and min TDY, unless of course AEF or some activation. Andy is very smart and a consistent performer and I am glad to have him. “Wake up Andy, it’s 10 minutes past bus time.” Is that too long to be a call sign?

TSgt Angela Flanagan – Angie just made TSgt and is living the good life since she is on days until at least March 2010. She is on the road a lot and I sleep well knowing she is in control in the boom pod. Speaking of control, is there such a thing as an AA++ personality and not just A type?

TSgt Scott Anthone – Scott is what I consider one of my true traditional boom operators. He lives 2 hours away, has a bankers job, comes and flies on drill and maybe a night sortie, then goes on an AEF if I tell him to go. He is still relatively new in the career field and it amazes me how well he still performs checklists with such little experience and consistency. He is also the only one I know who can get an old Honda Accord 3 miles back into 4 wheel drive country for an AITW.

SSgt Melissa Keith – Melissa just graduated Altus and is loving life. She knows she will have days here after she completes MCT and is just sitting high on the hog. It is rejuvenating to be around the youngsters who love this job and have so much future ahead of them. Melissa was a crew chief for the first couple of years in the guard.

SSgt Matt Wulf – Matt was a class behind Melissa at Altus and just got back from water survival in Florida. He got one local sortie under his belt and he’s already off on a week long Business Effort to Hawaii. We hired Matt out of MX and he seams to be pretty sharp. He’s quickly catching on to the relaxed atmosphere we maintain in Ops.

“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 now has an NBA team, the city is one of the Best places to live in the country, and people are real friendly too. 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”. If you’re ever dropping off or picking up an airplane for PDM stop by Squadron and checkout the snack bar, it’s always stocked!

SMSgt Rick Powell (AGR): (OVERLORD) Rick replaced Quinn as the Overload; Rick has become the unit TODO, ETIMS account guy when Quinn retired! The unit just survived an APE from AFMC HQ/A3V and we received an “Outstanding”, The T.O.’s also received an “Outstanding” under Rick’s supervision. Rick is training Rowdy to take his place in a few years so that the tradition of giving back the “BEST airplanes to the War Fighter” continues. Rick still races his car at the Drag strip, but his new Toy is a 20’ Sea Ray boat. Rick replaced his power steering pump in the boat and found out what “BOAT” stands for “Bring Out Another Thousand”. [email protected]

MSgt (Rowdy) Smith (AGR): (Underlord) Rowdy comes to us via, Seymour Johnson AFB, where he was the Training Manager. Rowdy was tired of threatening the T/R’s with bodily harm if they didn’t get there training done, “Don’t make me rip your head off and s#*% down your neck”! Rowdy is learning what the FCF world is all about. Rowdy has found out when maintenance says “That’s alright if the Boom will not fly to 45 degrees” you have to tell maintenance to… “Just fix it!”Ask Rowdy about his new Corvette, what it must be like…..to be single again…!! [email protected]

MSgt Frank Valley (TR): (“Book em Franko”) Frank is the TR Boom, we see him more now since Quinn retired. He spends most of his time working for the Mid West City Police department. We get to hear about all the crime on the streets when Frank comes in. Frank is skydiving, we think he is crazy, Frank haven’t you heard that you “never jump out of a perfectly good airplane!” Frank has a new Police taser and he is looking to practice tasing someone. If you’re in Mid West city, Oklahoma and you get in trouble in a bar, you may be starring down the barrel of Officer Valley’s taser. [email protected]

Booms of Yore

SMSgt Quinn Janke (Retired): (CTR) Quinn is now working at the ALC as a Contractor for the KC-135 Flight Manuals Manager. He says he loves it, but we think he is just happy to be making BIG bucks! I heard that he was driving a fancy new car now; I guess Quinn really is making the Big Bucks now. Quinn has an animal living under his nose now and his hair is really out of regulation too! We have to go through Quinn every time to talk with Gary Mott concerning questions that come up about KC-135 T.O.’s. We call Quinn, Gary Mott’s Pit Bull…!! Good luck talking to Gary with Quinn around! If you want to know more about nothing just e-mail Quinn, you will learn more about something you never wanted to know about than anything about your question to him concerning KC-135 T.O.’s. [email protected]

157 SMSgt Brian Buss (AGR): (Cool Aid Drinker) Brian is still running the Group DOV. “Yes” he is still drinking the Kool Aid. Brian still comes out to fly with us from Robbins, Ga. Brian wants to come back someday, we can’t figure out why he wanted to leave? Brian wants the Boom’s in the Group to get involved with the PMRC’s and FMRC’s so that “We, little known Booms” out here in the ALC/AFMC will have a voice and can make a difference in the KC-135 T.O.’s world. Beware “ALL” there are changes coming!! [email protected]

Ron Poe (Retired): I hear he is in the area but we don’t know him, as Quinn 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]

“SHIT HOT OKIES”

HEY! I thought we were Reservists!?! Why the hell are we so busy? What happened to one weekend a month and two weeks a year? Oh yeah, almost forgot, RIMPAC, AEF, OSTX, AES, ORI, SIOP, further integration with the G..u..a..r..d (they don’t know you’re talking about them if you spell it out) and countless other acronyms that have kept us so busy. Will it ever end you ask? We hope not because we love it. Here is the current lineup...

CMSgt Steve "Bif" Robinson (ART): Program Manager and Master Boom Operator. The guy has it all, The Job, The Girl, The Money, The Cars, and the attitude to go with it. We believe he will be the First ever enlisted D.O. in a Military flying squadron. Nothing happens here without Chief Robinson. He has made the "Boom Mafia" stronger than ever but something tells me the pilot types aren't as thrilled about it as we are. We are thrilled right guys? 10 more years everyone, 10 more years...... at least.

CMSgt Phil “X-Man” Brand (ART): Who doesn’t like our Chief of Stan/Evil? Phil is finishing up with Guard conversion and now is converting to PEX, as he puts why be good at any one thing they will just change it! Maybe the Chief has been sitting next to Wilks too long.

SMSgt Marty "Crunch" Lochman (ART): New Assistant Chief Boom walking tall like a shiny new penny and a permanent smile on his face. Could it be the new job? Could it be the new love of his life? Could it be the new Volvo? Could it be the other love of his life Alvin Lochman or could it just be going two whole years without crunching a boom? We are guessing that most likely it's that fact that he retires in less than 2years and doesn't have to do this crap anymore.

SMSgt Darby Perrin (Trougher): What can you say about our starving artist? He's hungrier than ever. If by now, you didn't know that Darby is a WORLD FAMOUS ARTIST (hehe); you've been living under a rock. Please visit www.planeart.com PLEASE!!! (Shameless Plug). Let's see, what else, living out of a suitcase on the road, cyber girls, and Jose Cuervo about sum it up. Hey Darb, Wyland called, he thinks you should paint whales and stuff. Love you man.

MSgt Rick “Ricky” Erwin (ART): Humor, thy name be Ricky. 3 years to go before Ricky runs away to Happy Valley Retirement Village & Golf Resort. He’s often tired and cranky, but will plan out a flawless mission package at 0430 while most of the pilots are still dreaming about pancakes, or their awkward relationships with their mothers.

MSgt Steve “Ebay” Switzer (ART): Steve is our NCOIC of Mission Development. Steve has immersed himself in to the biker culture in the last couple of years. He lives to ride and rides to live (according to his tramp stamp). All the kids are out of the house now and Steve suffers from “Empty Nest Syndrome”; symptoms include increased sleep, increased sex life, expanded bank account, decreased hair loss, and possible decreased aggression towards the dog.

MSgt Mark “Magoo” McGougan (ART): McGoo is our resident trip selector and all around trip trader, moral is on the upswing as long McGoo gets 1st dibs on the trips he buys. Mark is the unit’s trend setter some and some are not so good; McGoo lovely wife calls in to the Chief with approval for the trips Mark bids on, you have to yell at him because he can hardly hear over the whipping sound. Editor Note: Mark only does one trip a half so the calls from Sandra are a pleasure!

SMSgt/MSgt by now Alvin “Koooop!” Kuper (ART): Congratulations are in order for our brand new ART. Koop currently resides with Mary Kuper (see above) in an effort to not get married again. He’s not far from the airport where he keeps his Eagle 150, which totally works with his escape plan. You can catch him listening to live music at “The Alley Club” occasionally. He’s the one arguing with the drummer about “Rock Band”. Still on again off again KUPER!

MSgt Justin Hopkins (TR): As I write this, our Part time Boom and Full time Electrician is in the desert, God knows why. Hey Justin, WTF? WE'RE RESERVISTS! WHAT IN THE WORLD WOULD PROVOKE YOU TO DO SUCH CRAZINESS? Good experience for a future in full time booming I'm sure. Justin himself said it best, "This beats being a crew chief any day". Thanks for the enthusiasm. Now get home! You're behind on your ancillary training and TP’s.

TSgt (Still) Kelly Witt (ART): Ladies and Gentlemen, the PEP Promotion goes to...... anybody except Kelly (Again). Sorry girl, we will get that package beefed up for ya'. I Promise.

Kelly is still riding her motorcycle and spending weekends on the lake enjoying life, Editor note: Kelly is now an Evaluator and want to do Koop and Darby check wonder why?

TSgt Charles “Shatz” Dalton (TR): Shatz recently picked up a job flying Piper Chieftains for Ameriflight. Doesn’t quite make up for his string of bad jobs (helicopter pilot, choo-choo conductor, etc.), but it’s flying and he seems to complain almost 4% less than usual. After his recent divorce he invented a drink called “The Cork”. 1 part Vodka to 2 parts Imodium AD. Yummy! Keeps your flight suits laundry fresh.

TSgt Ben “Jenga Master” Brent (TR): Tornado picked up your boat and set it down on a freeway? Don’t fret! After all, that’s why you have insurance! In the mean time, Ben will buy your wrecked trophy from the insurance company for a dime on the dollar, fix it for pennies and sell it for huge big money. Trying to show up the pilots with a 24’ Cobalt who says size matter! Editor Note: Flaps is only 5’ 1” tall so size really does matter!

SSgt Ron “Clearance” Davis (TR): Ron was laying cable for AT & T. Now he’s not. Got himself a PR job or HR some such crap. Feeling down about your dancing skills? Ron is here to help with salsa lessons that’ll make you the envy of any block party. Males need not apply. WTF Ron Davis? You’re telling me that you’re only interested in teaching girls how to……ohhhhh. Nevermind.

SrA Josh “ExTeenBeat Star goes on Rampage” Holdridge (TR): Our resident lawn care professional, Josh has now perfected the art of Police Negotiation. What goes on in Turkey stays in Turkey, eh Rowdy?

SrA Matt “Hoppy” Tompkins (TR): Our young boom is all growed up. Finally, at 24 years of age, he has moved out of his dad's house. Still single and living the life. Watch out ladies! With gel in his hair and a gleam in his eyes, he's on the lookout. Don't worry girls, you'll see him coming following the bouncing boom operator ladies.

TSgt Jeff Bass(TR): Former 135 ART Crew Chief (but we hired him anyway) and great guy. In Boom school as we speak but the abuse will begin around the July/August time frame. Get ready newbie......

TSgt Jayde Langley: SHIRT!! You know what they say, those who can’t do teach, those who can’t teach evaluate, and those who can’t evaluate become a first sergeants. Jayde loves sending us a continuous stream of junk mail from his 4GB email box. Just because he can’t get those “email box is over its size limit” messages, he makes sure everyone else does!

SrA Mike Meitz: Mike found out that drinking large quantities of Budweiser and smoking is bad for your health. Since then he has quit smoking and started eating reduced sodium sunflower seeds. Back from the desert Mike is now enjoying his time at upgrade.

SSgt Brooklyn Mosley: After getting over her orders being recinded, Brooklyn decided she’d get back at us by not passing her small arms qual like 5 times. Durring that time she went to IB upgrade and finally had a change of heart on the gun class thing and is finally deployed.

SrA Josh Nears: Josh set the record for most amount of time spent at the FTU for IB upgrade. After convincing us that he really does want to be an instructor we got him through it. Training Flight is about to be a lot more laid back with Josh there.

SrA Joe Orndorff: Joe went off to be a TCN escort for most of the year. We’re sure that the World of Warcraft missed him dearly as did the Squadron.

Since he didn’t think he had enough on his plate he deployed and was 908 EARS Chief Boom.

162

SSgt Ed Soto: Ed saw that he was being looked at for the CRW so he took things in to his own hands and pushed the button to go be a Predator Sensor Operator at Creech.

MSgt Rob Tabor: (RET) Rob retired this year thus ending the career of the only Boom Operator to make it to retirement without seeing the CRW(TALCE for all you old heads). Just when we thought we’d been called a “No talent ass clown” for the last time Rob got hired as a Boom Instructor over at Flight Safety. We’re proud of you Rob!

TSgt Jen Trussell: New TSgt, Jen was the LAN person and is now one of our newest booms. Due to lack of trips Jen spent a lot of time in Initial Qual but made it out and we immediately sent her to the desert. Assistant Flight Chief and our Motorcycle Safety Rep.

SrA Katie Tynes: Katie really likes being deployed. We think she is doing her very best to get a tan so she will no longer be the whitest Boom Operator in the world.

MSgt Andre w Upchurch : Andrew spent most of his days behind a desk writing EPR’s this past year. He did however manage to rock up enough hours to go to IB upgrade. We’re confident that Andrew is going to make a good Instructor but he really does need to get back to those EPR’s, they’re not going to write themselves.

SrA Rachel Wentland: Rachel got rid of her truck and went to the other extreme with a brand new Mini Cooper. Too bad nobody told her that you can’t jump curbs the same way cause it would have saved her plenty of money in repairs.

SSgt Steve Wentz: Steve has been working hard in Stan Eval, picking up the slack from the pilots. Deployed a couple of times this past year, quit smoking, might have ran once or twice, and continues his never ending quest to get orders.

Attached

MSgt Nick Slayer: Nick is still brining it strong over at the Det 1. Word has it that he plans to retire soon. Good luck to you Nick!

SSgt Scott Beasley: As soon as Scott upgraded to Evaluator he made the move to the FTU where he now flies circles around the flag pole thinking that every touch and go may be his last. Scott is currently looking to head off to Edwards to be a Test Boom Operator.

SSgt Zach Flemming: Zach amost made it out of the FTU without being picked up for the CRW but I guess when your number is up, you number is up. Don’t worry Zach, it’s only 4 years.

MSgt Gary Evans: On the road as a Contingency Response Team Chief, he’s the only boom left in the Wing to hold the qualification. Also fills the shoes as the 570th Global Mobility Squadron Superintendent. Still has his ’03 Cobra and it just keeps getting faster—regularly blows by Loadmasters in Corvettes. Gary is looking to move back to a flying squadron in late 2010. [email protected]

MSgt Jason Resler: the 15th AMOS's newest Senior NCO, He is fitting in quite nicely here in California. He came to us from Mildenhall and has been here just under a year...

MSgt Mark Barnette: Is on the down side making his way over to the 9th ARS. Very tough move for him, he has to park on the other side of the building to get to his new squadron. Mark is looking forward to flying again so he can harass a new set of pilots who don't know him yet."

MSgt Cliff Bond: Doin' time in the Clink (CRW); up for parole Dec 2011 unless pardoned by retirement...REALLY misses the POD; does a lot of chair flying

TSgt Joe Corder: is wrapping up his time here at the AMOS and is headed back to the flying world via Fairchild. Joe has really left his mark on the AMOS while he was here and will be missed. Those of you in the Spokane area will be able to find him and his jeep in the nearest mud hole!...

TSgt Dex Mo rton: Came to the AMOS a year ago form the KC-10 world right down the street. He has gotten quite comfortable here and has taken over the motorcycle safety program. He can be still be seen looking out the window at the 10's from time to time explaining to MSgt Resler what life is like on the Gucci side of the house...

SSgt Ryan Thomas: Lives the CRW life and flies the hell out of a desk. He followed Justin Dixon out to Travis and now Justin follows him to anger management. In just a short time he will realize how much he actually forgot when he goes back to flying. A flier’s anomaly is that he is still married.

170 SSgt Willie (Jamie) Morton: Blames being in the CRW on the a..a..aa..a.alcohol. One of the newer additions to the 573 GSS Jamie is making himself at home and taking a lot of pictures. He said he is here because "He is so 3008 and you’re so 2000 and late...”

SSgt John W (Jack) Hester: Moved to better weather in California to Travis AFB, CA from Fairchild AFB, WA. In the CRW, not flying, seeing how the other 99% of the AF lives, hating it. Can’t wait to leave. Trying to make the best of it and learn a thing or two.

SSgt J ustin Dixon: Past the halfway mark in this wonderful place. I have seen so many sights since becoming a Ramp Coordinator…JRTC…JFEX…Eagle Flag…Hydra…I LOVE EXERCISES!!! But really this job does make you appreciate flying. Can’t wait to get back, See you all soon.

SSgt Eboni Lowry: Crickey there’s one now. The Lowry is by far the most elusive of all booms in the CRW. If you have the pleasure of spotting one make sure not to look away because when you look back the Lowry will have vanished.

2008 was another busy year here in “America’s Hurricane Command Post,” or “America’s Air Operations Center,” (whatever they’re calling it these days) and the Power-Point poisoning has reached lethal levels. This place has been busier than the Weather Channel during this past hurricane season. The AEF well dried up for Tanker Plans, so we’ve been on our own for almost a full year. 2009 has slowed somewhat during our off season, but that doesn’t mean “Kenny-Bob” has been given reprieve.

Here are the players this year;

MSgt John “John-Bob” Williams: has earned a new nickname this year, “Kenny.” He is still with us, despite applying for every available job in the Reserves, Guard, and maybe a few foreign Air Forces. Kenny-Bob wears many hats around here, all of which are too small…We fear he might just go postal if he gets blamed for one more screwed up Power-Point slide. Poor Kenny is usually slain by the Div. Chief in the South Park we live in…

Newly promoted MSgt Shane “Cheap labor” Smith: is still wearing his Boom patch, despite not actually being capable of visually identify a Tanker anymore. And since nobody around here seems to know what patch we’re supposed to be wearing, nothing has been said for at least three years. Shane finally bought a house…a real fixer-upper. He has almost completely rebuilt that thing with the help of a few “undocumented workers.” So far he’s spent about $250 on 6 months of labor…

TSgt Luke “It’s got a Hemi” Mullins: has been annoying us with his stories of his latest fly break to Birmingham and his new truck, that he had to get to haul all of the snack bar supplies. He has quite the racket goin’ with that snack bar; he put all the other snack bars in the compound out of business. We hear the IRS has some questions for him… Anyway, we pick up his slack when he goes to fly, and we hear all about it when he gets back…he may not make the next Signal…

WICHITA MODIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Greetings from the Air Capital! We’re located just across the ramp from McConnell AFB in beautiful Wichita, Kansas.

We’ve been extremely busy this year supporting our Global International Tanker Transport team customers—Italy and Japan. In the past year we have delivered Japan’s 3rd aircraft, trained their first KC-767 boom operator, and continue to test the Italian aircraft for delivery late this year.

We currently have four experimental flight test boom operators assigned:

Rickey Kahler – Boeing Chief Boom Operator. The ’Big Kahuna’ of air refueling flight test is just as sharp as ever. He continues to provide wisdom and guidance to program while keeping them straight, ask him about the 36th when you see him

Dennis Struve – GTTA Project Boom Operator and USAF Reservist. Dennis is getting married in August and will be working on making babies thereafter. Found a “Sugar Momma” (Doctor) to marry and is living the dream

Sean Martin – Still living the bachelor life in Wichita, family is in NC and commuting back to Seymour Johnson for reserve duty. You can ask him about the 36th when you see him also.

John (Phil) Deal – Moved up from Oklahoma City to join the test team. Still working on his KC-767 Qualification and spending as much time as he can with Jamie and the baby.

MSgt Don Breitkreutz: -- I am the only Boom Operator assigned on base, as Barry Mayhew departed earlier this year for the AFMC side of the house. I’m assigned to AMC/TE for test and development of the new tanker now known again as KC-X. I’ve been on station since November 2008 and have already located a few good fishing lakes and hunting areas. I’m planning on using the promotion pay raise to SMSgt on a new boat to enjoy southwest Ohio, as it sure beats southwest Oklahoma! Thanks.

Well Summer in the DEID has been amazing!! 120 degree days followed by endless 3 beer nights. Despite the weather, booms accomplish the impossible every day; timing out on hours, MPRS, Ground Alert, IFE's, booms here see and do it all. Just ask Stephen Bowman, he is so gung-ho decided to PLF out of the cargo door, NICE, he should be off crutches any day! If you didn't know THE DIED is biggest tanker Operation in the AOR, and has the largest Total Force of Boom Operators in the world. We provide the lion's share of gas to OIF, OEF, HOA and everything in-between. I could tell how many RCVRs and how much off-loaded but then I would have to kill you; so let's just say we do more in a day than Manas does in a week!!!!

The Guard and Reserve have really stepped-up currently the 108th Jersey "MAFIA", 185th Tinker "Where's my C-130" and 186th Meridian "this ain't hot" fill half the lines in the DEID. They keep telling me they love it here, so next time you see one on the road buy'em a beer, they definitely have earned it.

Special thanks to Scotty, Killer, Dave, and Marshall for making the DEID guard friendly.

BOOM COIN/CARD RULES

187 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. An individual can be challenged anytime, anywhere. You 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. Failure to produce a Boom Coin/Boom Card when challenged, or within the time limit results in the challenged individual buying a drink or round of drinks. If all those that are challenged produce 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. Under no circumstances can a Boom Coin/Card be handed to another individual. This is considered giving it away. You must barter with that person to regain possession of your Coin/Card. You must “Ground” the Coin/Card by placing it down on a flat surface. Then, and only then may another pick it up to examine it. This is not considered giving your Coin/Card away.

9. The individual who picks up the Coin/Card is honor bound to place it back where they got it. You cannot be challenged while your Coin/Card is in someone else’s possession.

10. A lost Boom Coin/Boom Card does not relieve the holder of their responsibilities.

11. These rules apply to any Boom Operator or "Honorary Boom Operator". Local rules can be used; however, apply to local Boom Operators only.

12. The Boom Coin/Boom Card should be controlled at all times. Giving a Coin/Card to anyone is like opening the Association to anyone. It is considered an HONOR to be a Boom Operator and have a Coin/Card. Let's keep it that way.

189 AERODYNAMIC EFFECTS ON THE AIR REFUELING PLATFORM BY SMSGT GREG CONRAD (USAF RET)

Originally printed in Flying Safety Magazine, Vol 57, No. 3, March 2001, Pages 12 – 15

All of us (tanker pilots, receiver pilots and boom operators), at one time or another, have either experienced a rough day on the air refueling (AR) track or even, perhaps, an air refueling mishap. We can't help but wonder why things happened the way they did. Receiver pilots often question the tanker pilot's abilities or even their own. The boom operator comments on how much of a cowboy the receiver is and to be ready for anything to happen. But, how many of us really stop to analyze the platform and understand the variables involved?

The variables I'm going to discuss are the tanker and receiver aerodynamic effects and boom effects. In discussing these variables, I'm hoping to give you a better understanding of what happens to the airflow around two aircraft during air refueling and how the position of the boom affects the air refueling platform. With the help of KC-135 and B-52 instructor pilots from our Central Flight Instructor Course (CFIC), I hope you receive some valuable information.

I'd like to start out with some excellent information I found when researching this article. In a Combat Crew magazine (February 1985), I found an article entitled "Those Interrelated Aerodynamic Effects," dealing with our very subject. The information it presents is just as critical today as it was then.

Upwash, Downwash, Bernoulli

To understand what's happening during air refueling, we need to understand a little about upwash, downwash, tip vortices, and some of the old Bernoulli's theory about pressure differentials. As an aircraft produces lift, it affects the airflow around it. Relatively speaking, the airflow produces an upwash ahead of the aircraft and a significant downwash behind it. Remember last summer when you were whistling down the highway and you noticed a butterfly about to become a hood ornament on your fresh wax job, but that young butterfly was mysteriously lifted over your car? If you had looked in your rearview mirror, you would have noticed the said butterfly, on the outer edges of maneuvering flight, as he suddenly returned to this original altitude.

What caused this phenomenon? Your car was acting as an airfoil. The airflow directly in front of your car was directed upwards and back, creating a backwash. Additionally, as the airflow passed over the rear of the car, downwash returned the butterfly to his original altitude. When a wing produces lift, a pressure differential exists between the upper and lower surfaces. At the wingtip, this pressure differential creates components of spanwise airflow. On most large aircraft, the lateral flow developed at the tip is quite strong, and a rather strong vortex is created.

For conditions of positive lift, this vortex has a twisting component toward the aircraft centerline as it moves (relatively) down and aft of the wing. According to Bernoulli, the above-mentioned pressure differential is due to the velocity differential above and below the wing. By now, you're thinking, "All this is really fine, but how does it affect air refueling?"

Normal Closure

Consider first the normal air refueling closure from precontact to contact. We all know what happens to our airplanes, but why does it happen? Ask any tanker driver why his plane is affected, and he will tell you, "Receiver bow wave (upwash)," and he is right, partially. Ask any receiver pilot why his airplane is affected, and he will tell you, "Tanker downwash." He is also right, partially. Actually, as the aircraft come in close vertical proximity, the upwash, downwash, and, to a lesser extent, the tip vortices of both airplanes are affected. From the tanker viewpoint, a receiver closing to the contact position causes a change in the vertical component of the upwash and downwash which is not unlike ground effect.

The tanker wants to pitch down as it does when entering ground effect (nose-up trim is required). Induced angle of attack is reduced just as it is in ground effect (thrust required is reduced). In fact, it has been shown in some conditions of flight (climb, for example), the increased parasite drag of boom extension is more than compensated for by the reduction in induced drag due to the receiver in contact, causing "ground effect." From the receiver point of view, tanker downwash causes the airplane to want to pitch down and slow its rate of closure. The magnitude of these effects depends primarily on the rate of change of the upwash and downwash on both airplanes. This rate of change depends on the speed and relative angle the receiver takes.

190 The receiver closing very rapidly will obviously have a more rapid and dynamic effect on the tanker. The receiver who closes very low and then tries to pop up to contact, as well as the pilot who tries to close very high and level, causes a more rapid and dynamic change on the tanker because the receiver bow wave (upwash) and tanker downwash are entered suddenly rather than gradually. Slow closure is a very wise technique. As the receiver achieves contact, he notices the pitching moment caused by tanker downwash has dissipated considerably. If the receiver should continue on beneath the tanker, he will then notice the pitching moment begin to increase again, only this time in the NOSE UP direction!

Centerline Underrun

If the receiver continues to underrun the tanker, the aerodynamic effects of the downwash will continue to change. Downwash will not affect the tanker or receiver significantly until the receiver aircraft's fuselage and wings near vertical overlap. At this time, the Bernoulli effects begin to lower the pressure between the two aircraft and will actually draw them together. The tanker autopilot altitude hold feature, if engaged, will sense this decrease in pressure at the static ports as a climb and will command a pitch down in an attempt to maintain a constant pressure altitude.

This situation will almost invariably result in a midair collision since the only way to separate the aircraft vertically would be for the receiver to lower his nose while the tanker raises his nose in an attempt to compensate, resulting in the tail sections rapidly moving towards each other.

Lateral Underrun

Let's consider next what would happen if the receiver noticed a centerline underrun developing and attempted to offset himself laterally to avoid the adverse effects noted under the centerline underrun. As the wing of the receiver moves out of the downwash effect created by the tanker, the local angle of attack of the wing in the clean air will increase and generate more lift, attempting to roll the receiver toward the tanker. As more of the wing enters the undisturbed air, the forces build at a rapid rate. Without immediate action on the part of the receiver pilot, the receiver aircraft may actually turn into and strike the tanker, or possibly accomplish a barrel roll-like maneuver over the top of the tanker.

Breakaway

A properly executed breakaway (anybody can initiate one) is a good remedy for conditions leading to the above situations. However, an improperly executed breakaway may serve only to compound the problem. Remember, separation is the objective! Tanker drivers, don't be in a big hurry to increase your pitch attitude. Increased pitch can lower your tail and decay airspeed. Receiver drivers, don't be in a big hurry to dump the nose. Your tail will come up, and even with the power at idle, airspeed can increase. Booms, make sure your "Cleared to climb" call is not automatic.

Although it really isn't important to know Venturi and Bernoulli developed these theories, an understanding of the principles involved can help recognize a potentially hazardous situation soon enough to recover. An understanding of these principles can also help us to visualize what "Fred Boeing" is talking about when he tells us, "It is unsafe to fly two aircraft in close vertical proximity because of the magnitude of interrelated aerodynamic effects." Lastly, I'd like to discuss boom effects. I found some excellent information while researching in another Combat Crew magazine (January 1987). The article, "Boom Effects," explains the last variable of the air refueling platform.

Boom Effects

Now, everyone knows what a primary flight control surface is, right? Ailerons, spoilers, elevators, rudders, etc. But did you know the KC-135 comes equipped with a secondary flight control known as "the boom"? If you think about it, the boom is really just another rudder, and in some ways, it can even act as a throttle control! Don't believe me, huh? Well, I'll explain a couple of the air refueling demos we do at the Central Flight Instructor Course and, hopefully, show you how these "boom effects" can affect your performance during air refueling operations.

Boom Turn

Earlier, I said the boom is just another rudder. To prove this, we do a simple maneuver called a boom turn, in which we turn the tanker with the boom. The boom is lowered to 30 degrees elevation and then flown to 8 degrees left or right (depending on which way you want to turn). The tanker pilot simply maintains a neutral yoke. With the boom positioned at an azimuth limit, the tanker will roll into a turn without any problem. Then to roll out, you just fly the boom in the opposite direction.

191 So what's this got to do with refueling? Not much, if the tanker has its autopilot on, because the autopilot compensates for the boom's effect. However, if the tanker has its autopilot off, there can be some complications.

If the receiver comes in off centerline, and the boom operator keeps the boom at 0 degrees azimuth until the receiver closes to the contact position and then swings the boom over to make contact, the tanker pilot had better be ready to counteract the rolling motion induced by the boom. Don't forget, the receiver is going to be reacting to the tanker's movements while the boom operator is trying to make contact.

Night Air Refueling

What about night refueling? The Dash-3, the AR manual for KC-135 operations, tells boom operators to "maintain the boom in a position that will prevent the boom nozzle light from distracting or blinding the receiver pilot." By swinging the boom to one side to keep the nozzle light away from the receiver pilot, the boom could destabilize the tanker's platform, which, in turn, causes the receiver to destabilize prior to getting a contact. So what's the answer? First, for receiver pilots, try to come in on centerline as much as possible. Second, for boom operators, if the receiver does come in off centerline, tell your pilots so they will be ready to correct any changes caused by the boom. If you're flying at night, ask the receiver where he wants the nozzle light (emission control permitting). If he has no preference, try to keep it on centerline. Most heavy drivers really won t be distracted if you keep it right up the middle.

Limit Demonstration

Now, let's talk limit demonstrations. The boom is going to have the same effect whether there is a receiver hooked up or not. Receiver pilots can destabilize the tanker's platform by moving out to an azimuth limit too quickly. Keep your rate of movement slow and steady when going to the azimuth limits, and keep it slow and steady when coming back to center. Everybody knows unannounced power changes during AR cause problems, right? Did you realize the receiver's position in elevation can cause the same effect as a small power change while in contact?

One of the demonstrations we do to show this is called a "receiver no-power limits" demo. Both tanker and receiver have autopilot on, in contact with the receiver stabilized at 0 degrees azimuth, 12 feet extension, and 30 degrees elevation. The receiver then moves up to 22 degrees elevation. This reduces the amount of the boom hanging in the slipstream, which, in turn, reduces the amount of drag on the tanker. As a result, the tanker increases airspeed slightly, and the receiver moves aft.

When the receiver reaches 15 feet, he moves down to 30 degrees elevation and stabilizes at 16 feet. The receiver will then go down to 38 degrees elevation, putting more of the boom in the slipstream, which, in turn, puts more drag on the tanker. Yes, you guessed it, the tanker slows down and the receiver moves forward. When the receiver reaches 9 feet, he will move up to 30 degrees elevation and stabilize at 8 feet. All of this movement was accomplished without any changes in throttle position on the tanker or receiver. So, what's this go to do with "real" refueling? How many receiver pilots tend to come in low during night refueling? It's a tendency many receiver pilots have because there are fewer visual cues available at night to aid in recognizing the effect of the tanker's downwash. The problem with this situation is it could set you up for trouble.

If the receiver comes in low, the boom operator may have a tendency to start lowering the boom in anticipation of the receiver reaching the contact position. To make things worse, the receiver may stagnate somewhere between 10 to 20 feet and add just "a little bit" of power to get through "the downwash." The result is a fast closure rate hard to see at night. How many times have you gotten a contact at night and almost immediately received a "back 2, back 4" correction from the boom operator? Sound familiar? This same effect could affect our limits demos when demonstrating the upper and lower elevation limits. If you stay at an upper or lower limit for any length of time to point out references, don't forget what the boom position is doing to you, especially on lower limits!

The secret to staying ahead of these effects is realizing they exist and what they are trying to do to you. Booms, keep your pilot informed of the receiver's position, both prior to and during contact. Receiver pilots, realize it may not be all your fault! Some of the problems you may be experiencing during AR may be a combination of these effects. Tanker pilots, be aware of what "secondary flight control" can do to you and be ready for it. Fly safe.

192 AERIAL REFUELING BY DOUGLAS RITTER

This article appeared in the January 1993 issue of Code One Magazine.

An F-16 carefully closes on a KC-10 tanker from below. As the fighter nears, a long boom extends down from the rear of the KC-10. The fighter pilot flips a switch and the receiver door atop his fuselage drops in. Stabilizing his approach about seventy- five feet behind the KC-10, the pilot throttles back to match his speed with the tanker's. The fighter pilot nudges the throttle forward and his jet inches closer while staying aligned with the end of the boom.

The pilot makes only minute control inputs. Guided by lights beneath the tanker, the fighter pilot maneuvers into position. As the end of the boom passes from sight, the boom arm swings overhead so close the pilot could reach up and grab it were it not for the canopy. The boom operator in the rear of the tanker looks down at the fighter and guides the end of the boom into the receptacle behind the cockpit. As soon as the end of the boom is lined up with the connector, the boom operator forces it home into the receptacle, locking into the fighter. The F-16 pilot hears a thunk behind his head and another air-to-air refueling operation is underway.

Pumps whine as jet fuel flows through the hollow boom into the F-16 at the rate of 200 gallons per minute. In just under seven minutes, nearly 10,000 pounds of fuel are transferred and the thirsting fighter is topped off. A quick thumbs-up, a slight spray of fuel at disconnect, and another aerial refueling is completed. The boom instantly retracts and raises out of the way. The F-16 backs off. The pilot flips a switch and the fuel receptacle door closes. The F-16 slips to the side to allow the next fighter its turn at the pump.

Day or night, good weather or bad, aerial refueling keeps our military aircraft in the air, extending their endurance, range, and payload and vastly increasing their effectiveness. When duty calls at the far reaches of the globe, aerial refueling allows a rapid response. Without aerial refueling, the face of modern combat would be changed. Most strategic and tactical air missions could never be undertaken.

The importance of aerial refueling was reemphasized during the Gulf War. Getting the warplanes and their support equipment and personnel as well as ground combat troops, equipment, and supplies to the Middle East required an extraordinary aerial refueling effort on short notice. The first group of deployed F-15s required seven refuelings during their fifteen-hour flight direct to Saudi Arabia from Langley AFB, Virginia. Once in theater, aerial refueling continued to play a critical role. Without it, the F-117A stealth fighter would have run out of fuel before it could drop its bombs with impunity. Many aircraft returned to refueling points with barely any fuel left. When the exigencies of the war ate into a fighter's planned fuel reserve, tankers picked up the slack. As one tanker pilot boasted during the war, "Fighter jocks buy drinks for tanker crews; not the other way around."

Fighter crews weren't the only ones dependent on aerial refueling during the war. Large command-and-control aircraft, like the E-3 AWACS and the E-8 Joint-STARS, also depended on these flying gas stations to stay aloft so they could provide the continuous mission control and reconnaissance our forces required. Cargo aircraft, including the giant C-5 Galaxy, used aerial refueling to speed delivery of their cargo and to increase their loads. And bombers, like the venerable B-52, used refueling so they could carry maximum bomb payloads over long distances from remote bases.

Fuel is a necessary evil in aircraft. It's a heavy energy source that consumes space. Fighters like the F-16 trade fuel capacity for performance and payload. For short-range air defense, the tradeoff works just fine. To fly long distances, however, designers resort to auxiliary fuel tanks in various configurations. With rare exceptions, pilots would choose not to carry auxiliary fuel tanks in combat, whether for air-to-air or for tactical missions. The tanks increase fuel consumption, reduce ordinance payloads and G limits, and tend to reduce top speed of the aircraft. Dropping the tanks before combat solves these problems, but the practice is wasteful and involves other compromises. Even with extra tanks, a fighter could never cross the vast oceans by the most direct route without running dry. The only practical answer is to pick up extra fuel along the way.

By refueling in the air, aircraft can go the distance. Fighters can also stay lean and mean or carry maximum combat payloads. Aerial refueling makes a big difference in what the F-16 can do and how it gets it done. Fuel is a precious commodity, but in the midst of combat, survival often requires the pilot to sacrifice it. Getting safely back to base may require an aerial refill. Maj. Ron MacKenzie of the 336th Aerial Refueling Squadron of the AF Reserve remarks that "during Desert. Storm it was not unusual to hear pilots yelling for gas." More than one combatant made contact practically flying on fumes.

193 Even long-range bombers like the F-111 often need tankers to complete their missions, especially when other countries don't permit overflights. The successful F-111 raid on Libya could never have been accomplished without air-to-air refueling. This situation repeated itself during the Gulf War. Flying out of European bases, bombers denied overflight permission had to fly lengthy, indirect routes to stay over international waters.

During operations in the Persian Gulf, USAF KC-135s and KC-10s completed over 85,000 aerial refuelings. They offloaded to receiver aircraft over 1.2 billion pounds of fuel, about 190 million gallons. These figures don't include USAF C-130 tankers, Navy tankers, or foreign tankers. "People at home saw all these photos of sleek fighters during the war," remarks TSgt. Phil Stidham of the 336th, a KC-135 boom operator during Desert Storm, "but they never saw the tankers. Few people realize that not one sortie, with the exception of maybe some B-52 sorties, was flown without tanker support."

The history of refueling aircraft in flight goes back to 1918 when a Navy Reserve pilot, Lt. Godfrey Cabot, snagged gasoline containers from his biplane with a grappling hook. However, the first recorded air-to-air refueling took place in 921 when Wesley May, a barnstorming stuntman, strapped a five-gallon gas can to his back and stepped from the wing of his Lincoln Standard to the wing skid of a Curtis JN-4. He unstrapped the can and emptied its contents into the Jenny's fuel tanks.

Aerial refueling developed in fits and starts from its gutsy beginnings. In July of 1923, the Army Air Service, predecessor to the Air Force, conducted the first successful air-to-air refueling that used a hose to refuel one aircraft from another. Later that year, two Air Service lieutenants, John Richter and Lowell Smith, used aerial refueling to fly their de Havilland DH-4B for thirty-seven hours and over 3,200 miles over southern California. They were refueled fifteen times from another DH-4B, receiving seventy-five gallons of fuel through a hose as well as oil and other supplies. The lieutenants went on to demonstrate practical applications of the new capability by flying non-stop from the Canadian border to Tijuana, Mexico, covering the 1,300 miles in twelve hours with two refuelings. An accident the following month abruptly ended their cycle of experimentation.

Aerial refueling development was renewed about five years later. On New Year's Day 1929, a Fokker C-2 trimotor nicknamed "Question Mark" (because no one was sure how long it might remain aloft) began a record-setting flight. The first refueling took place over the Rose Bowl as Georgia Tech edged California eight points to seven. Two Douglas C-1 biplanes used as tankers kept Question Mark aloft for seven days before a failing engine on the Fokker brought it back to the ground. During the flight, the aircrews transferred 5,660 gallons of fuel, 245 gallons of oil, as well as meals, water, batteries, and other supplies.

Despite the achievement, development in the United States languished. The British conducted experiments with some success, but through World War II, long-range strategic missions and aerial refueling were greeted with skepticism by most of those in command. With few exceptions, little further development was done even though a great need existed. Doolittle's famous bombing raid on Tokyo from a precarious launch from an aircraft carrier is but one glaring example of the difficulties that had to be overcome because there was no way to refuel in the air.

After the war, the long-range requirements of the Strategic Air Command renewed interest in aerial refueling. Development progressed rapidly, culminating on 22 March 1949 when "Lucky Lady II," a specially outfitted B-50A bomber, landed at Carswell AFB in Texas after completing the first non-stop around-the-world flight. The mission took ninety-two hours and covered nearly 24,000 miles. Fuel was dispensed from KB-29 tankers, a modification of the B-29 bomber. Air-to-air refueling was here to stay.

These early tankers used a cumbersome refueling system in which the receiver aircraft would grapple a contact line trailed by the tanker and then winch in the refueling hose to make the connection. The system worked fine in relatively calm air during the day. But making a connection in turbulence or at night was tricky.

During the Korean War, a probe-and-drogue system was developed. In this system, still used today, the tanker unreels a refueling hose from the rear or from wing pods. At the end of the hose is a funnel-shaped drogue, a basket that resembles an oversized shuttlecock. The drogue stabilizes the trailing hose and provides a lead into the connector at the end of the hose. The receiver aircraft is fitted with a probe that extends out from the side of the fuselage or from the leading edge of the wing. The pilot guides the probe into the drogue to make the connection.

While this arrangement was a major improvement over its predecessor, it still had drawbacks. Early versions of the probe-and- drogue receiving equipment were bulky (especially for fighters) and fuel transfer rates were slow. The probe-and-drogue method also placed a high workload on the pilot of the receiving aircraft because the early drogues were not very stable and tended to wander in tight circles. Successfully hooking up took much practice and training.

194 These drawbacks were addresses by a new refueling concept used by today's Air Force - the flying boom. In this concept, a crew member in the rear of the tanker controls a telescoping rigid boom into a receptacle on the receiver.

The boom operator literally flies the boom into place using small airfoils, called ruddervators, near the boom's end. Guided by colored lights on the underside of the tanker, the pilot has only to maintain a position behind and below the tanker. The first KB-29s were outfitted in 1950 with the flying boom, which was installed in the old rear gunner's turret. Modifications to B-50 bombers as receivers for the boom-equipped tankers commenced simultaneously.

By the early 1950s, with most fighters equipped with either refueling receptacles or probes, the first large-scale overseas deployments began. In July 1952, KB-29s supported the deployment of fifty-eight F-84Gs of the 31st Fighter Escort Wing from Turner AFB, Georgia, to bases in Japan. Three months later, seventy-five F-84Gs flew from Bergstrom AFB in Texas to Misawa Air Base in Japan. These deployments and others proved the practicality of sending large numbers of fighters overseas from bases in the United States.

The slower, prop-driven KB-29s, however, soon became outpaced by the jet fighters. So the aging B-50 was pressed into service as a tanker in 1955. A small jet engine was added on each wing of the bomber to increase the KB-50s speed to better match the jet's. Three refueling hoses were fitted to the bomber, one from the fuselage and one each from a pod mounted under each wing. This crowded arrangement (the wings of the B-50 tanker sported four large radial engines, two refueling pods, and two jet engines) allowed three receivers to refuel at the same time.

The KB-29s were also being replaced with new Boeing KC-97s. While these versions of the Stratofreighter retained their cargo capability, their rear doors were replaced with a boom operator's station derived from that of the KB-29. With no turret to use, the boom was moved forward on the fuselage. The boom operator laid prone, face down, to view the receiver through a viewing window. (KC-97 boom operators enjoyed one of the few positions in the military in which lying down was part of the job description.) The upper-deck fuel tanks and boom equipment on the KC-97 could be removed if necessary and the tanker quickly converted to a freighter. Two improved models of the KC-97 offered greater payload capacity and flexibility. In January 1957, three B-52s, supported by ninety-eight KC-97s stationed along the route, flew around the world in forty-five hours and nineteen minutes. The lead aircraft, christened Lucky Lady III, was commanded by Lt. Col. James Morris, the copilot of Lucky Lady II's around-the-world mission in 1949. The bombers more than halved the record set by Lucky Lady II only eight years previous, and they did it with three aircraft to boot.

As the Air Force converted to an all-jet fleet of warplanes, the gasoline-fueled, prop-driven tankers became anachronisms. A new tanker was needed to better match the capabilities of the B-52 and the newer, faster fighters. In the early 1950s, Boeing began developing a new airframe, the KC-135, that could serve as both an Air Force tanker and as the company's first civilian jet transport. The prototype first flew in July 1954. (Contrary to popular misconception, the 707 airliner and the KC-135 are not two versions of the same aircraft.) The first KC-135A entered service in 1957 and it remains in service today.

Propulsion on the early models of the KC-135 was supplied by four Pratt & Whitney turbojet engines. Its cruise speed was over 500 mph at 30,000 feet. Range, of course, depended upon how much fuel was offloaded. The aircraft had an unrefueled range of over 9,000 miles. With 24,000 pounds of fuel to transfer, the aircraft had a mission radius of about 3,500 miles. With 120,000 pounds of fuel, the radius was reduced to just over 1,000 miles.

The KC-135 uses the time-tested refueling boom and operator's panel from the KC-97. The boom operator still lays face-down in the center of the aircraft. The aircraft also has stations for two observers or instructors, one on either side of the boom operator. Large mirrors around the periphery of the windows extend the operator's view. The KC-135 carries its fuel in twelve wing and nine fuselage tanks, which together hold over 200,000 pounds of fuel. While no refueling hose is fitted to refuel probe-equipped aircraft, a special nine-foot adapter hose and drogue can be attached to the boom on the ground.

Over the years, KC-135s have given a good account of themselves. But the old turbojets used a lot of fuel and were noisy and expensive to maintain. In recent years, engine upgrades have extended the life of the tankers and increased performance, lowered the noise level, and reduced maintenance costs. The Air Force fitted their tankers with higher thrust high-bypass turbofan engines to create the KC-135R variant of which 295 are now in service. Air National Guard and USAF Reserve aircraft received 18,000-pound-thrust Pratt & Whitney turbofans taken from scrapped late model 707s. These aircraft are now designated KC-135Es.

195 To date, 163 have been converted. The differences in performance are dramatic. For example, the R model is twenty-five percent more fuel efficient, can offload fifty per cent more fuel, and costs twenty-five percent less to operate than the original version. Today the fleet retains 633 KC-135 tankers. Service life extensions will keep the KC-135s in the air well into the next century.

By the early 1970s the Air Force needed a larger, more capable tanker transport with increased cargo payload, range, and refueling capability. It examined the larger civilian aircraft available and selected a derivative of the McDonnell Douglas DC- 10-30 tri-jet in 1977. The first KC-10 Extender was put into service in 1981. The aircraft retains almost ninety percent commonality with its civilian counterpart, easing maintenance and logistics costs. The wing tanks and tanks installed under the main cargo deck can hold 365,000 pounds of fuel, nearly twice the capacity of the KC-135. Unrefueled range is 11,500 miles. A center-mounted hose and drogue improves mission flexibility. An inflight refueling receptacle behind the cockpit allows refueling by a KC-135 or another KC-10. Sixty KC-l0As were delivered before the production line closed in 1987.

While the most common location for the refueling receptacle has been on the centerline of the main fuselage somewhere behind the cockpit, not all Air Force fighters use this location. The F-111's receptacle is offset a bit to the left of the centerline. The F-15's connection is outboard of the left engine inlet in the upper body of the wing root strake. The A-10's receptacle is located in its nose, just forward of the leading edge of the canopy.

From the pilot's perspective, some aircraft are easier to refuel than others. By all accounts, the F-16 is the easiest fighter in the Air Force inventory to refuel. One pilot with experience in many different types of aircraft says the F-16's sophisticated fly-by- wire controls and flight control computers make aerial refueling "a piece of cake." Pilot training seems to support the statement. Students transitioning into the F-16 are introduced to midair refueling very early in their training. In other fighters, much more flight experience is required.

The A-10 is at the opposite end of the ease-of-refueling spectrum The Warthog's top speed is just about as fast as the tanker's slowest refueling speed. Tanker pilots relate that the most common request from A-10 pilots is to slow down. The A-10 can sometimes barely break through the wake off the rear of a KC-135, and the slight changes in airflow from movement of the boom are enough to destabilize the approach if the pilot isn't careful. An A-10 pilot describes making contact as "one of the most rewarding moments in my flying. The worst was over; I could relax a bit." Any relaxation vanishes at disconnect, when the pilot is momentarily blinded by fuel spray on the canopy from the forward-mounted receptacle.

The F-4 and F-15 are not quite as difficult to refuel in the air as the A-10, though they still require considerable more effort than the F-16. But refueling is always a tense and relatively difficult flight regime. Every aircraft has its individual refueling idiosyncrasies. Each flies differently behind the tanker and interacts differently with the boom. Thus, aerial refueling trials are an important part of any aircraft's development flight testing and validation.

Refueling operations are generally quite safe today, though accidents can happen. A pilot's nightmare is bringing home part of the boom. A pilot can do this if he exceeds the limits of the boom's travel or if he encounters unexpected turbulence. The most dangerous situation occurs if the pilot gets too high and too close to the tanker before the boom can disconnect. This position prevents the boom operator from retracting the boom or from raising it out of the way on disconnect. In rare instances when the boom fails to disconnect, the only choice left is to perform a "brute force disconnect." The receiver puts out the brakes and breaks off the boom just above the dry break valve, as designed. Sometimes the pilot or boom operator makes a mistake during approach or break-off and the boom and the receiver make contact in the wrong place. Such contact can result in scraped paint, a scratched canopy, a broken antenna, or a slight dent in the fuselage. Occasionally more serious damage occurs.

In some instances, a pilot may prefer being locked onto the boom to be towed. During the Desert Shield deployment, for example, a KC-135 towed an F-4 part way across the Atlantic when the fighter experienced partial power loss. During the Gulf War, a fighter with serious fuel leaks caused by battle damage was towed by a tanker pumping fuel in as fast as it was leaking out. While tankers can't tow a powerless aircraft, they can dramatically slow the rate of descent of a disabled aircraft.

Most people may think that tankers just fly around in safe areas during wartime, never getting too close to danger. The Gulf War disproved this notion. On numerous occasions, tanker crews flew into the combat zone to rescue aircraft low on fuel. In some cases, tanker crews braved antiaircraft fire. A flight of two KC-135s led by Maj. Herb Otten of the 452nd Air Refueling Wing was orbiting in Saudi Arabia near the Israeli border awaiting a return strike force of F-16s when an AWACS advised that the F-16s were low on fuel and that one had sustained serious battle damage. Despite lack of fighter cover, Otten flew north into Iraqi air space to meet the fighters before they ran out of fuel. The tankers eventually had to fly almost 100 miles north into Iraq before they made contact with and successfully refueled the fighters.

196 "One of the vital lessons of our experience over there was the vulnerability of tankers," explains Col. Bill Sherer, the commander of the 161st Air Refueling Group of the Arizona ANG. Sherer was coincidentally in Europe on an air refueling mission when Desert Shield began. He flew one of the first missions of the tanker "air bridge." Sherer notes that flying close to enemy lines, or sometimes into enemy territory, opened a lot of eyes. "In years past at exercises like Red Flag, our tankers would orbit outside the exercise area and refuel either side's aircraft as necessary," Sherer continues. "It was like the game King's X: everyone was safe from attack when refueling. Now we are treated as the high-value assets we really are. If we get shot down, our side loses its fuel supply, and probably loses the war. So now when we go on exercises, we practice evasive maneuvers. We work much closer with our fighter cover when we have it. Fighter crews have a vital interest in our protection."

Briefings during the war took on a new meaning as initial expectations of tanker losses as high as twenty percent were revealed to crews. Strict rules of communication went into effect; nearly all refueling was completed in silence. Much of the refueling was done at night, lights out. Tactics and situations were constantly evolving and changing and crews had to adapt and react quickly. "In most regards, our training stood us in good stead," says boom operator SSgt. Ty Warren. "The basics of refueling are the same no matter what you may encounter. We just did what we had practiced to do."

However, piloting tankers outside the immediate war zone was rarely as easy as it is during peacetime. The lack of navigation facilities and ground radar-assisted air traffic control over wide areas required pilots and navigators to earn their keep. "The crowded skies meant that you had better be where you were supposed to be when you were supposed to be there," explains Capt. T. J. Bain, a KC-135 navigator of the 161st Aerial Refueling Wing. "If you were not, you would quite probably be in another aircraft's airspace. And no one on the ground was there to keep you separated."

The large numbers of aircraft flying in formation was also a new experience for many tanker pilots. Tanker cells commonly had three, six, or even more tankers plus receivers flying in formation. MSgt. Maggie Evans, a KC-135 boom operator of the 336th, remembers one mission in particular during Desert Storm. "We were the tenth and last tanker in a cell with nine KC-10s and we had a total of seventy receivers with us." Formation flying is demanding and requires considerably more concentration for longer periods than many pilots are used to. This type of flying is now practiced more often.

The lessons gleaned by the tanker community from the Gulf War will serve in the future. The emphasis is on new and expanded roles, new tactics in diverse operating environments. As military aviation moves toward the next century, aerial refueling will continue to provide the means to project military power to the far reaches of the globe.

Under the current restructuring, ANG and USAF Reserve units contribute almost half of the Air Force's peacetime aerial refueling mission. Control of the significant majority of the tanker force passed to the Air Mobility Command, headquartered at Scott AFB, Illinois, when it was formed last June. From a single command center at Scott, tanker assets worldwide are scheduled for airlift, strategic, and tactical needs. No matter when or where a need for rapid deployment of personnel, supplies, combat equipment, or aircraft arises, these tankers and their crews will be the ones that make it possible. Or as one airman says, "We provide the legs, to carry the muscle, to deliver the punch."

“HOME OF THE TENNESSE VOLUNTEERS”

Greetings from the 151st ARS / 134th ARW located at McGhee Tyson AB Knoxville, TN. We’ve made it through another AEF cycle and nobody got kidnapped, killed, arrested or left in a foreign country. Our base has seen many changes over the last year. The last AMS class graduated recently and those facilities will be used for a super NCO Academy. As always please stop by if you are in town for a school or a graduation. We love to talk shop and tell lies.

Jim Quagliana: The Chief is still holding strong and may make the 10,000 hour mark before retirement if he keeps up this pace.

Mike Buckner: Buck has the Dick Clark disease and hasn’t aged in the last 20 years. He still calls the training shop home.

Jeff Dyer: Jeff is still the local Boom Sheriff in Stan Evil but I can’t say anything bad. He hooked me up with season tickets for UT football this year.

Bo Sunderland: Bo is getting ready to marry off the last of his little girls. He works with Jeff now in Stan Evil.

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

Wayne Atkins: Wayne should teach a class on how to guard bum. He has somehow figured out a way to make more than us fulltime guys and travel to all of the garden spots. His wife mows the yard, takes care of the kids and then takes pity on him for having to travel so much. Teach me Wayne…teach me.

Ronnie “Crash” Dixon: Crash has taken on the task of teaching me Current Ops stuff, poor guy.

Randy Keener: The honeymoon is over for Randy. This poor guy has a honey-do list a mile long.

Steve Sampson: Steve’s little boy must really be wearing him out. He had to have back surgery last month.

Brian Thomas: I have moved out of scheduling and in to current ops with Crash. I have a lot of learnin’ to do but at least the phone does not ring every thirty seconds.

Lennie Tipton: Mongo hasn’t hurt anybody since the last signal, and if he has, he ain’t talkin.

Eric Jone s: EJ is our new guy on the fulltime side. He left his job as a bigwig to be the new boom scheduler. Must be something to this whole boom thing.

Bo Rogers: Bo really loves flying in the AOR. He has farmed his self out to two or three other units over the last year.

Bryan Rollins: Peabody is getting ready to switch to the dark side. He has been selected for an O slot at the 119th. Good luck to you….and them. THE BOOM SIGNAL-OS-1 ATTACHMENT 1

Brent Seymour: Brent has had every job City of Knoxville Fire Dept. has to offer. This week he is the director for City of Knoxville EMS.

J.J. Davenport: JJ is still an old school traditional. Works down town, flies every Wednesday night and takes two trips a year.

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

Shannon “Blue” Price: I don’t think Blue is fulltime but he is out here more than most of us. He is another one that has the whole guard bum thing wired.

Jared Morgan: Meathead is still the worst guard bum ever..really.

Melvin Brandenburg: Melvin has a little one on the way. I can’t believe he talked a woman into sleeping with him

Tommy Cole: Tommy is one of our FNGs. He checked out a few weeks ago so I really don’t have anything negative to say yet.

Terry Mull: Mull is the same as Tommy….but ugly.

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 last year. 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 left the technician world for Delta last year.

Capt. 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.

1st Lt. Jason Reed: Jason went thru Altus in 2000, and was commissioned in 2005. He got married last year and is doing well.

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.

908 EARS

Greetings from Al Dhafra AB, UAE, home of the 380 AEW and the 908 EARS. We are undeniably the busiest Air Refueling Squadron in the USAF. We keep gas in the skies of Afghanistan 24/7, 365, and many days over Iraq too. Our KC-10 booms refuel every type of aircraft the coalition has and many different types on the same mission. Boom A/R or drogue we are getting the fuel to the fight. We fly multiple sorties every day and offload millions of pounds every year. That is a lot of fuel supporting our Army and Marine brothers on the ground!

From the normal every day being-in-the-squadron standpoint, we have taken multiple AMN, NCO and SNCO of the Month awards which says a lot about the quality of booms we have here. The fact that booms can get involved with the different groups even with their busy flying schedule is noted by the leadership. We have had multiple SNCO’s complete Course 14, and Booms of all ranks complete their CCAF while deployed. We are a fully functional squadron just like at home.

“BREW CITY TANKERS”

Welcome from the land of Beer and Cheese, and the home of the “Brewtown Booms”. It has been an interesting year here in Milwaukee, couple retirements, couple of inspections, couple of deployments, couple of beers but hey who’s counting? We had a nice flood the week of the NORI inspection which filled the vault with 2 feet of standing water, proved to be a successful test of watertight CMF cases, as they were in stable floating orbits at their respective RVCP’s. And then there was the inspection…………grumble grumble, ‘nuff said. Anyways, here’s the current shakedown on who is where, or where who is going in Milwaukee, as well as some pretty good rumors about each of them.

Full Timer’s

CMSgt. Robert Derrick - Program Manager - Soon to be joining the ranks of the recently retired, with a Boom Stowed date of 1 Oct. 2009. The Chief leaves us in hopes of finding employment with the DNR or some other government agency that will have him.

SMSgt. Steve “Woody” Schweiss – Program Manager/Chief Select - After a highly contested battle, Steve, Leader of the Silverback Tribe, emerged the heir apparent in the race for the Program Managers position.

SMSgt. Jerry “Penguin” Schiessl - Current Ops - Jerry is still holding down the Current Ops shop. Has added several printer kills to his resume’ by covering up the fan openings with cardboard, he didn’t like the air blowing on him.

SMSgt. Marli n “Swerve” Mosley – Training – Single handedly keeping the Training Office in shape. As Leader of the Sexual Chocolate Tribe, gave Steve a run for his money for the Program Managers job.

MSgt. Mike “Werm” Weimer - STAN/EVAL – New sheriff in town, anxiously awaiting the upcoming ASEV to remove the stink of the last NORI. Apparently you can work in XP, have a bad inspection, and still move up.

MSgt. Patrick Sosinski – Scheduling – One half of the “Dynamic Duo” keeping the pilot schedulers from completely dorking up the weekly’s. Pat works the short range side of things. Rumored to be working with his wife on child number two.

MSgt. Don “Stricknine” Strickland - Scheduling - The other half, there always is one; Don works the long range side of the house and uses logic to disarm the inferior minded pilot schedulers.

MSgt. Kurt “Iggy” Ignasiak - XP - “The Silent Assassin” preys on those that don’t protect their you know what after making silly statements

MSgt. Peter “Meat Tauerke” Gauerke – Ex Crew Chief/UDM/RA/Cargo Load Manager – Rumored to be losing one of his many duties to the new Program Manager, shhhhh Steve doesn’t know what’s about to hit him.

Part-Timers and Guardbum Extraordinaires

SMSgt. Mark “Marty” Lipinski - Milwaukee Firefighter/Senior Boom Guardsman – Mark is working on a program to help make Guard bums become responsible members of society by getting them off the trough and into regular jobs. Like we need more firefighter booms. THE BOOM SIGNAL-OS-3 ATTACHMENT 1

MSgt. John “Mags” Magnus - Racine Firefighter – Finally done being a “probie” for the Racine Fire Dept. Misses being a Boom when he is there, and misses being a firefighter when he is here, sumpin’ wrong with that boy.

MSgt. Tony White - Milwaukee Firefighter – In addition to being a firefighter, Tony is currently studying to become a RN in his free time. If there is money to be made, Tony is getting paid.

MSgt. William “Eche” Echevarria - Milwaukee Firefighter/Paramedic – rumored to be getting married sometime this year, and his new bride is rumored to be “wearing the pants” in that family, strictly rumor though.

MSgt. Amanda “Demanda” Fuller – Guard Bum 1 - Newest IB in town, looking to make things painful for the Newbie Booms. “Demanda” will finally get to do things her way.

TSgt. Chris “I’m Retarded” Winchell – Guard Bum 2- Newest Tactics Graduate Boom, constantly seen shooting his watch, or spouting off “2v2 DACT” Mag’s is the only one that understands the farkle talk.

MSgt. Will “Mat” Mattert – Guardsman/Private Eye – Keeping the streets clear of criminals by day and keeping the night sorties full of Boom Operators, Will is one of the last true traditionals.

TSgt. An thony “ A-Train” Walter – Guard Bum 3- The “Train” knows how to maximize paydays like the best of them. Rumored to have a Kit-Kat fetish

TSgt. Bryan “Light Switch” Storbeck – Guard Bum 4 – Fly’s Hard, Plays Hard, Drinks Hard, or so says the dishwasher. Rumored to have said “they all look the same with the lights out” easiest nickname ever.

TSgt. Ryan “I Am Retarded Also” Peters – Ex-Crew Chief/Guard Bum 5 – Graduated an institution of higher learning with an Engineering Degree, and is rumored to be looking for an Active Duty job in CE? Dude?...... WTF?

TSgt. Mat “Grrrrrrrrrzzzzbie” Grz yb - Ex-Crew Chief/Fireman, Dumped the Guard Bum moniker and became a responsible member of society under the “Marty Plan”, for the love of God man, buy a vowel. Mat just recently found out his “Brown” passport is actually for official government travel only, three days prior to a trip to Mexico with his girlfriend.

TSgt. Thomas “Oregano” Orosco – Guard Bum 6 – For a guy who came to us from the HARM office, his paperwork is atrocious, sheesh

SSgt. Lynda “Lydia” Matthews – Guard Bum 7/Student – Filled in for the family namesake after her brother Paul defected from Boom Operator to the Pilot side of the house. Rumored to be stalking several Milwaukee Brewers.

SSgt. Karley Moore – Guard Bum 8/Student – Still waiting for this one to come out of the shell, has been rumored to be mouthy, but as of yet – unconfirmed, might just be the strong silent type, which is so un-boomlike.

Defectors

Capt. Lauri (Hrovatin) Sergent - Hasn’t been seen around too much, rumored to be AWOL

Lt. Paul Matthews – Ex-Crew Chief/Ex-Boom – Guard Bum Pilot, makes the Boom Section look good every time he picks on his fellow pilots, our loss is their gain, all around good beer drinking fellow.

TSgt. Christine “Cajones” Kjornes – Who? Oh the other short haired, blonde pilot, right, rumored to be going through Flight Training somewhere down South.

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.
