It is essential to the militar working dog’s growth.” That passion comes in handy when Sergeant Swann has to approve new members to the canine team. “Out of every 100 people who think they want to join the canine team, probably only three make it,” said Sergeant Swann. “Often people will say they are a dog person, but the thing they don’t understand is that these dogs aren’t pets — they’re our partners, but they work.

This is Ms. Winburn’s fourth time donating blood. Connie Driskell, a phlebot- omist with OBI sets her up to draw blood. OBI works closely with Tinker Air Force Base and holds several blood drives every year around base. With each unit of blood donated at Tinker, the 72nd Medical Group earns points that help to pay for blood test- ing through OBI, thus saving Tinker AFB money by holding regular blood drives. Now until Aug. 31, donors will receive two admission tickets to the OKC Zoo and a zoo-themed t-shirt as well as health screenings. According to the OBI website, 1,000 donations are needed every month to support the needs of area hospitals. There is a blood drive Aug. 19 from 8 a.m. to noon at the 72nd Air Base Wing and another Aug. 25 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the 72nd MDG. Air Force photo by Kelly White

EUGENE, Ore. (AFNS) -- First Lt. Cale Simmons, who cleared the bar at 5.65 meters -- 18 feet, 6.4 inches -- in the men’s pole vault finals, secured a spot on the U.S. Olympic team at the U.S. Olympic team track and field finals here July 4. Simmons finished second at the finals, just behind Army 2nd Lt. Sam Kendricks, who cleared the bar at 5.91 meters, setting an Olympic trials record. Simmons said he vaulted 5.72 meters, his best ever, in Denver last month, and he hopes to earn a medal at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in August.

Rigorous training Besides pole vaulting in high school in Sacramento, California, Simmons said, he vaulted at the U.S. Air Force Academy as well. He said his current training regimen includes heavy doses of sprinting, some gymnastics and weight training, as well as plyometric and isometric exercises. The Air Force, he added, provides good full-time training assistance via the World Class Athlete Program, of which he is a part. In his off time, Simmons said he enjoys rock climbing, skydiving and trampoline work.
