By Lt. Col. Gregory Karahalis 12th Space Warning Squadron commander

THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — One of the toughest aspects of an assignment at Thule Air Base is managing job know-how and passing it on. For the most part, this doesn’t apply to the mission-related functions for which one has received training at tech school and developed expertise elsewhere in the Air Force. Rather, it applies to the many specific-to-Thule activities that often go undocumented and are not conveyed when your replacement arrives a year after you did. Unfortunately, it is an all too common occurrence to have an Airman discover a briefing, spreadsheet or application that would have saved them hours of work had they See Continuity page 13

Each person takes with them critical knowledge of the mission and experience that must be captured before departure. Ruffing it with K9 By Staff Sgt. J. Aaron Breeden 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE Colo. — As an oversized pick-up truck rolled into a dusty gravel lot, the silver trailer in tow was filled with the echoes of barking dogs ready for action. Members of the 21st Security Forces Squadron Military Working Dog Section were preparing for training exercises Jan. 18 to help prepare members that would soon be deploying. Tech. Sgt. Loren Surley, 21st SFS MWD trainer and supervisor, the leader of the day’s exercises, explained the primary intent of this training was to reinforce the teamwork con- cept between the handlers and their dogs while familiarizing them with ‘outside-the-wire’ missions searching for drugs, bombs or on patrol. Having been deployed as an MWD handler, Surley understands the importance of train- ing exercises like this as it relates to safety. “When you’re heading outside of the wire, you’re leading a team,” said Surley. “You have other people there for back-up, but usually it’s the K9 handlers who are responsible for the safety of the team.” Staff Sgt. Whitney Young, 21st MWD handler, returned from his deployment to (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. J. Aaron Breeden) Afghanistan on Jan. 20 and explained how training like this prepares handlers gearing up for a deployment. Staff Sgt.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Four members of the Air Force Reserve Command’s recruiting offices located throughout Colorado took several top honors for fiscal year 2012 and earned a team medal for Top Operation location. The Colorado recruiting team received these accolades at the annual Air Force Reserve Command Recruiting awards banquet Oct. 25 in Savannah, Ga. Tasked with the challenges of recruiting and enlisting highly-motivated and dedicated recruits into the various career fields within the Air Force Reserve, Master Sgt. Akoni Mirafuentes, Recruiting Services Assistant Senior Recruiter, said he was impressed with the entire team’s dedication and hard work as a whole by their ability to meet and exceed expectations across the recruiting field. “All of the reserve recruiter offices along the Front Range were able to exceed quotas while also achieving several supe- rior performance awards,” said Mirafuentes. “The office was fortunate to have the talents of one of their newest recruiters take top honors for fiscal year 2012.” Making a big debut onto the recruiting scene was Tech. Sgt. Tracey Barry, from the Colorado Springs, Colo. office. Barry, previously an active duty Air Force dental technician from West Palm Beach, Fla., exceeded expectations during her rookie year by achieving 219 percent of recruiting goals.

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Airmen featured in National Geographic Channel’s “Inside Combat Rescue” TV series, along with the series’ producer, visited the Air Force Academy Feb. 1 to talk about the program and the combat rescue career field. The presentation included a question-and- answer session with Airmen featured in the series as well as a preview of an episode from the series, featuring a mix of mundane mo- ments and a dramatic rescue in which Airmen rescued and stabilized an Army Green Beret hit by a roadside bomb. “You’ve got this moment in your life where you can’t express how you feel,” a pararescue- man explains to a camera crew after the rescue See Rescue page 12
