By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Tech. Sgt. Spencer Wallace, flight sergeant with the 50th Security Forces Squadron, will represent Air Force Space Command at the 2018 Air Force Defender Challenge. He will be joining six other AFSPC Airmen in the competition to include Tech. Sgt. Sinjen Halsey with the 21st Security Forces Squadron; Senior Airman Leopoldo Ruiz with the 30th Security Forces Squadron; Senior Airman James Strohmeier with the 21st SFS; Senior Airman Nicholas Rauch with the 460th Security Forces Squadron; Airman 1st Class Eric Knierim with the 30th SFS; and Airman 1st Class Oscar Delgado, Jr. with the 45th Security Forces Squadron. “The Defender Challenge is a big part of security forces heritage,” Wallace said. “We found out we made the team at the end of July. I was excited and ready to train with my teammates. It’s always great to train and I am looking forward to this opportunity.” The Defender Challenge is returning after a 14-year hiatus. Fourteen security forces teams from Air Force major commands, Great Britain Tech. Sgt.

After completing the scenarios, the team with the most combined points will win the Sadler Cup, which is named after Maj. Gen. Thomas Sadler, who served as Air Force Chief of Security Police from 1975- 1977. Great Britain has held the trophy since winning the last competition in 2004. Before making the AFSPC team, Airmen were hand-selected based on their physical fitness tests and firearms qualifications. The newly-formed team then trained for seven days together to prepare for the competition. “While training, we did not know the particular scenarios that would occur during the competition,” Halsey said. “However, once we are out there, I will act as the liaison between the security forces center and my team. For now, we have been training hard on what we can and we have definitely seen cohesion over the past week.” All seven Airmen are looking forward to representing AFSPC and to prove themselves to all other major commands. “Some may have a perception that being in AFSPC means we don’t train on certain techniques such as land navigation and close quarter battle drills; however, we all have background training as security forces members,” Halsey said. “Once we go there, the other teams will realize not only are we on the same level, but we may be better than some of the other MAJCOM’s. We want to go there and create the biggest upset in Defender Challenge history.” U.S. Air Force photos by Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez Wallace expressed his excitement for this unique opportunity.

By Tech. Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — There’s a new Health Promotions Coordinator in town. Carol Carr, a registered dietician and massage therapist, filled the long-vacant position at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 6, and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with her. The new HPC said she’s been working diligently to develop and launch programs to help Airmen lead healthier lives. “Due to our 24/7 mission here, it’s critical we have programs in place to help our Airmen and their families manage stress and promote their well-being,” Carr said. Carr’s commander is thrilled to have the position filled by someone as qualified and passionate as her new HPC. “I am extremely excited for Carr to be here at Schriever as part of the 21st Medical Squadron,” said Lt. Col. Jana Weiner, commander of the 21st MDS. “Her role enables preventative outreach to assist individuals in leading healthy lives. Ultimately, this produces a healthier and more resilient base community, and a workforce capable of productively executing the mission.” While her business card has several acronyms after her last name, Carr said her focus isn’t on any specific qualification, but on leveraging synergy between several disciplines to bring a well-rounded approach to formulating health programs. “Nationally, obesity is on the rise and so many aspects of health and well-being play into that,” she said. “Living healthy demands we look at all aspects of our lives to see what can be done to be the best possible us.” Carr has several programs tentatively set to launch Oct.

“We approach each person’s program uniquely,” Carr said. “No two people are identical in their needs and physiology, so we work to understand all the factors per- taining to you that might be preventing weight loss and develop a customized plan.” Healthy Cooking and Eating To help people live healthy lives and lose weight, Carr plans on launching a class to teach people not only what kinds of foods to eat, but also how to prepare them. “We are going to do meal prep and brainstorm cooking ideas,” she said. “We’ll teach a family how to get a healthy meal on the table in 15 minutes or less.” Schriever AFB’s new HPC plans on stressing the importance of meal prep to her clients. “Meal prep sets you up for success,” she said. “If it’s a busy day and you didn’t bring a lunch you might lean toward unhealthy fast food options. If we leave our food choices up to chance, we often don’t make good decisions.” Another classic pitfall is not eating enough vegetables. “Many people struggle with eating vegetables,” Carr said. “Veggies are full of vitamins you need for your body to function at its best.

FESTIVAL PRODUCED BY A NONPROFIT SERVING THE PIKES PEAK REGION 8 September 13, 2018 Schriever Sentinel 1st SOPS prevails in esports championship

By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 1st Space Operations Squadron earned a 3-2 victory over the 4th Space Operations Squadron during the 2018 Overwatch Championship Intramural Finals in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Sept. 7. Overwatch is a team-based video game in which teams of six compete against each other to complete and hold onto objectives. Each player plays as a hero, a specialized character with his/her own unique traits which contribute to the team. Heroes can be healers, tanks (larger characters capable of taking and dealing large amounts of hit point damage), as well as defensive and offensive. The tournament match featured a capture/ defend the payload format, in which one team works to advance a mobile payload to reach the goal, while another team tries their best to stall their progress until the time limit expires. The 1st SOPS team earned their victory by successfully reaching the goal to earn the full three points over the 4th SOPS’ two. Their victory will contribute to the team’s standing in the Commander’s Cup. Tech. Sgt. Joshua Gulke, section chief with 1st SOPS, rallied behind his squadron. “We fought our way up the ranks, and this event topped it off,” he said. “It was awesome.” Unfortunately for the 4th SOPS, they were short one player.

Air Force researchers are working with the University of Virginia to uncover why Airmen use tobacco. Retired U.S. Air Force Col. G. Wayne Talcott, consultant, Chief of Air Force Health Promotions at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland and director, Military Population Health Program at UVA, and Melissa Little, deputy director, Military Population Health, are researching why young, enlisted Airmen continue to use tobacco despite knowing the risks and impact on readiness and performance. “Around 28 percent of Airmen come into the Air Force already using tobacco,” Talcott said. “Tobacco use isn’t al- lowed during basic and technical training, so they are es- sentially forced to quit all through basic training and for the first four weeks of technical training, bringing the total of tobacco-free weeks to 12.” Talcott said the problem is more than half of that 28 percent go back to using tobacco, even though the Air Force has some of the strictest tobacco control policies. Talcott and his team have also found that around 20 percent of new Airmen who have never used tobacco start using after joining. “Those numbers are high,” Talcott said. “What is really interesting is that most of those who initiate or re-initiate tobacco use start during technical training. We want to U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Erica Crossen know why.” Despite strict policies on tobacco use and awareness of the risks to health, readiness, and performance, some Airmen continue to use tobacco prod- To answer this question, Talcott and his team received a ucts.

It is mounted upright as a symbol of the nation’s resolve in the face of terror. The wreath laying was followed by a bell ringing ceremony known as striking of the four fives, which paid tribute to fallen firefighters, police and emergency medical providers who died in the attacks. Nearly 3,000 men, women and children, both military and civilian; fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, gave their lives on 9/11. Thousands of service members have died in the con- flict since. Jim Mesco, 50th SW historian, said the Sept. 11 attacks changed the face of the U.S. and shattered the sense of security and distance many Americans had between their country and U.S. Air Force photo by Dennis Rogers the strife living in the rest of the world.

The striking of the four fives pays tribute to the fallen firefighters, police and emergency medical providers who gave their lives during the attacks. willing to take any measure to attack all Americans, military or civilian,” Mesco said. “No one was immune.” Tad Davis, antiterrorism program manager with the 50th Security Forces Squadron, who was an active duty security forces Airman at the time of the attacks, shared the impact he felt on that day. “The attacks brought terrorism right to our doorstep,” he said. “It gave us a clear vision, we realized we needed to change how we operated.” This change included stronger security for U.S. military installations, increased analysis of risk factors, anti-terrorism awareness training for all service members and other measures. As the base antiterrorism program manager, Davis was part of the effort that solidified these changes and made Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, and other military installations, a hard target. “When terrorists look at Schriever AFB, they see a base not to be reckoned with,” Davis said. “Security is and will always be, a priority.” When it comes to antiterrorism measures, Mesco said Schriever AFB’s mission of evolving space and cyberspace warfighting superiority through integrated and innovative operations is the biggest one of all. “The wing’s assets take the war to those who waged war on us,” he said. “The Schriever AFB mission provides the means to deter our enemies.” As Schriever AFB and the 50th SW continues on its path of dominance in space and cyberspace, Airmen are reminded to keep the sacrifice of those who lost their lives that day forever in their memories, abiding by the words which adorn the U.S. Air Force photo by Dennis Rogers ceremonial wreath laid at the Schriever AFB 9/11 artifact — An Airman holds the flag as it is raised then lowered to half-staff during the reveille at Schriever Air “We will never forget.” Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 11, 2018.

By Tech. Sgt. Angela Ruiz 12th Air Force (Air Forces Southern) Public Affairs RIONEGRO, Colombia — Two U.S. Air Force aircraft and more than 90 U.S. Airmen are participating in “Angel de los Andes,” a Colombian led international search and rescue training exercise Sept. 3-14. The Air Combat Command number 5 unit at Arturo Lema Posada Air Base in Rionegro is the staging ground for the exercise. This is the second time the Colombian Air Force has conducted Angel de los Andes, the first was in 2015. “I’m confident that Angel de los Andes, with its mission to save lives, will extend and further our relationship, co- operation and exchange of best practices which will benefit the U.S. and Colombian Air Forces,” said Colombian Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Carlos Eduardo Bueno Vargas. “The significant importance of the U.S. being here is that we have the opportunity to strengthen our relationship so we can be prepared to confront future threats together.” One C-17 Globemaster III from the 14th Airlift Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, and one C-130 Hercules from the 133rd Airlift Squadron with the Minnesota Air National Guard are among the eight U.S. Air Force Active, Guard and Reserve components participating. “The U.S. has been our ‘big brother’ for many years and we have a special relationship based on gratitude and respect and that is why they are our guest of honor to this important exercise,” Bueno Vargas said. “While all of the participating countries are important Colombian allies, the U.S. has a U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Angela Ruiz special relationship with Colombia since they have helped Colombian Air Force Major Gen.
