Thursday, January 31, 2013 Vol. 57 No. 3 MLK holiday more than a day off By Lea Johnson 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — People from a variety of ethnic backgrounds gathered at the chapel, Jan. 16, to honor the man who played a significant role in the fight for equality. The 2013 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Service was held just days before the Jan. 21 holiday and one day after what would have been King’s 84th birthday. Retired Chief Master Sgt. Joan Johnson was the guest speaker for the ceremony. “Today we are here to remember, celebrate and act. Remember his work and legacy. Celebrate his birthday and how far we’ve come as a nation. Act by becoming involved to continue his work,” Johnson said. On Aug. 28, 1963, King gave what would become one of the most famous speeches in American history — “I Have a Dream.” Johnson said the speech proceeded the famous March on Washington. “This was a peaceful demonstration with over 250,000 people in attendance, a quarter of them white,” she said. King’s speech, the final speech of the day, was only sup- posed to be four minutes, but it lasted 16. “Dr. King started by saying that 100 years ago President Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves. But yet 100 years later the Negro was still not free. The Negro was still facing segregation, discrimination, and living in poverty in a world filled with so much prosperity,” Johnson said. “He said the sense of urgency was now for America to make good on the promises of democracy for all of God’s children. Dr. King continued on saying that 1963 was not the end but the beginning of the Negro’s discontentment.” Johnson said despite the discontentment in the world, King did not support hatred, but encouraged dignity and (U.S. Air Force photo/Phillip Carter) discipline. Retired Chief Master Sgt. Joan Johnson gave a speech during the 2013 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Service Jan. 16 at the base chapel. See MLK page 9 During the service, Johnson reminded attendees what King said in his “I Have a Dream” speech. King’s holiday this year was Jan. 21. MOPPing up at MPS

David Salanitri Air Force Public Affairs Agency

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (AFNS) — The Air Force appointed its 17th chief master sergeant of the Air Force during a transition and retirement ceremony here Jan. 24. In his last official act before retiring, Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Roy relinquished the duties and re- sponsibilities of the Air Force’s highest enlisted leader to Chief Master Sgt. James Cody. Looking across the airplane hangar, Cody addressed some of his main goals in his new position. “We have to invest before we can reap rewards,” said Cody, who was previously assigned as the command chief master sergeant of Air Education and Training Command. “We will continue to invest in the development of our Airmen in the most deliberate way possible, and we will ensure our force is ready to handle the challenges it will face in the future.” Cody said as the service’s senior enlisted leader, his focus will be on helping Airmen be successful. “We need to protect them by making sure they know how to deal with the stress that comes with military life,” said Cody. “We will focus on strengthening relationships, taking care of one another, and holding each other more account- able for measuring up to the high standards we demand of every Airman.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Scott M.

Jeremy Redfern, 21st CES EOD technician, returned from his second deployment in November and understands the importance of these exercises. “The training allows you to react quickly in really hor- rible situations,” said Redfern. “You just turn everything off, and go back to training.” Redfern has deployed twice to Afghanistan during his five-year Air Force career, first to Helmand province with Horton, and most recently to the Ghazni province. “Every EOD situation is different, but training takes the edge off to help counter a new situation,” said Redfern. “It can be something as simple as remembering Sgt.

Home brewers brew beer for a variety of reasons, none of which has to do with drinking too much or too fast. In fact, the beer making process is not a complex one. Specialty shops sell kits that come complete with equipment, ingredients and directions. But when the home brewer is looking for a slightly different taste and wants to alter the recipe, that’s when he has the opportunity to craft a unique tasting beer. Home brewers take pride in their finely crafted product. It’s like a classic car show. You only bring your best because you want to show off how good it is. You do want to sip and taste – really taste – the beer. The Club will host its 7th annual Homebrew Fest from 6-10 p.m. Feb. 22. Last year there were more than 300 entries, some from across the United States, all competing for prizes awarded in different Beer Judge Certification Program categories. In addition to sampling awesome suds, you can enjoy some real tasty food and hot, live music. Admission is $10 for Club members, $14 others. The first 250 attendees will receive a commemorative beer glass. And, of course, you have to be 21 in order to drink any beer. Entries need to be submitted by Feb. 2; judg- ing will be held Feb. 8 and 9. Slow down and taste. Remember, belching is permitted; guzzling is not. For details, call The Club at 556-4181. SINGLE AIRMEN CAN DO EXCITING STUFF – DIRT CHEAP Airmen like to do fun stuff. Exciting stuff. Wild stuff. Like skydiving, ziplining, snow- mobiling, snowshoeing, skiing … even tour- ing a cave. And thanks to the Single Airman Initiative and Outdoor Recreation, single airmen (any rank enlisted member) can do these things for next to nothing. Try an outdoor adventure – something you’ve never done before but always wanted to do. Now is the time… when the cost is dirt cheap and you can do it with friends. Single airmen only!
