COMMENTARY
AMC commander: Memorial Day – take time to pause and reflect
by Gen. Raymond Johns
Commander, Air Mobility Command
As we all prepare to observe Memorial Day,
let me first thank you for your extraordinary
dedication and contributions to our nation
and this Command. Whatever the challenge,
you continually answer the call and perform
your mission with incredible distinction and
courage.
Speaking of courage, I ask that you take a
moment and pay tribute to the generations of
brave servicemen and women who helped secure the freedoms we all enjoy today. Please
pause and reflect on the tremendous legacy of
honor and service which these Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and Airmen
have so generously given our homeland.
Today, you continue this proud tradition.
As some of the finest Airmen in our Air Force,
you make a difference when and where it
matters most. Whether it’s providing Global
Reach in Iraq and Afghanistan or humanitarian relief in Haiti, you answer an unyielding
call to save lives and support our fellow service members.
Notably, we cannot perform this mission
alone. Our long hours at work and time away
from home are only made possible by the
steadfast support we receive from our families. Like your service, their sacrifice and devotion play a key role in our nation’s defense.
This is why I would like you and your families
to practice good safety over the Memorial Day
weekend. It takes all of us to accomplish the
amazing work that has become the trademark
of Air Mobility Command.
So please know I salute you, and I salute
your families. Your contributions and sacrifices secure our freedom and for that America
is grateful. Please enjoy this Memorial Day...
be safe...and be good Wingmen!
Gen. Raymond Johns
Remember the sacrifices this Memorial Day

The 6th Medical Group, Team Killer Medics, was the last team standing after a two-day
Squadron Intramural Bowling Roll-Off May 13
at MacDill Lanes Bowling Center. They earned
the 2010 Base Bowling Champion title.
The two-day roll-off started with the 1st
place team from the Wednesday and Thursday night intramural league team matched up
against the 2nd place team from the opposing
league night. The format for the competition
was a 3 game total pinfall with handicap based
upon individual’s average established at the
completion of the regular 2009/10 league season.
Team Ninja Gerbils, the first-place team for
the Wednesday night intramural league, faced
Team Killer Medics, the second-place team
from the Thursday night intramural league.
After bowling one game, the Killer Medics had
a lead of 62 pins. Ninja Gerbils made up 32
pins after two games, making it a close match
with 30 pins difference. However, Killer Medics
turned on the heat in game three. Carl Wood-
ruff threw a 256 scratch game to help the team
win the match by 76 pins, 2493 to 2417.
Team X-Men, the first place team for the
Wednesday night intramural league, faced
Team Chugach, the second place team from the
Wednesday night league. Chugach jumped into
an early lead by 121 pins. After two games, the
X-Men got back 48 pins, but were still down 73.
Now the X-Men make their move. Master Sgt.
Dahl Flynn rolls a 245 scratch game, for a 724
scratch series. Mr. Al Nelson rolls a 246 scratch
game. The X-Men make up the deficit to win by
3 pins, 2458 to 2455.
Expectations were high as Team X-men and
Team Killer Medics went head-to-head. Game
one completed and the X-Men have the Killer
Medics down 58 pins. Undaunted, the Killer
Medics finished game two with a 61 pin lead.
It was do or die time; both teams had the talent to walk away victorious. Game three was
a dead heat, matching pin for pin. The Killer
Medics came through in the end with a 61 pin
victory, 2428 to 2367.
Congratulations 6th Medical Group and the
winning team players: Charles Comer, Sheila
Woodruff, Jim Bennett and Carl Woodruff.

6th AMW Airman golfer gets
taste of life on the pro tour
by Nick Stubbs
Thunderbolt editor
Asked to sum up his experience as a special guest player in last weekend’s PGA Valero Texas Open golf tournament, Senior Airman John
Little, a member of the 6th Security Forces Squadron, used the fewest
words possible: “Wow!”
Airman Little is back on the job as an armorer this week after what
was the most memorable weekend of his golfing life. He got to not only
rub elbows with golfing greats Ernie Els, Justin Leonard, David Duval
and others, he got to play with them.
The honor came at the decision of the board organizing the tournament, which included some retired generals who thought it would be a
good idea to invite a military member to play, said Airman Little. Having
won the All Armed Services Championship golf tournament in November, Airman Little was the natural choice.
“It was great, and an honor,” Airman Little said. “It was an unbelievable experience, and something people who golf could only dream
about.”
An avid golfer who plays whenever he gets the opportunity, Airman
Little is a fixture at the Bay Palms Club at MacDill. With a handicap of
3, he’s a force to be reckoned with on the course, and wants to turn pro
and pursue a tournament career one day.
“That’s my goal,” he said. “Id like to go pro and make it (golf) my job
and make my living from golf.”
Airman Little said the weekend tournament only cemented his desire.
The atmosphere and high level of competition gave him a taste of life as
a touring pro, in part thanks to the treatment he received.
“The job they did and the hospitality they showed was incredible,” Airman Little said. “They treated me like a PGA pro and made me feel like
I belonged.”
In a competitive field, it took a two-round score of 145 to make the
final cut. Airman Little fell short, but he was not discouraged and it took
nothing away from the experience.
“It’s something I’ll never forget,” he said.

‘Fill ‘er up’ - The Great Gas Giveaway is coming
by Airman 1st Class Katherine Holt
6th Air Mobility Wing
More than 50 volunteers from the House of Prayer Church will be
pumping free gas to the first 200 cars that arrive at the Chevron Gas
station at 301 East Bearss Ave in Tampa from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.,
May 28. The congregation of House of Prayer Church pitched in and
raised $5,000 to give 200 cars $25 worth of gas. They are calling it,
“The great gas giveaway.”
“The members of the church just wanted to provide a little relief to
the Tampa Bay Community,” said Al Jester, U.S. Central Command
budget analyst. “There is a need right out our front door, and we just
wanted to do something about it.”
The first 200 cars will have their gas pumped and their windows
washed, free of charge. Everyone is invited to attend the great gas
giveaway, but get there early; first come, first served.
“We hope this event will help alleviate members of the community,
even if it is a half a tank at a time,” said Mr. Jester.

Air Force fitness program revisions begin July 1
by Jon Hanson
Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs Office
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas
(AFNS) — In less than two months, Airmen
across the globe will begin testing against new
fitness assessment standards.
These standards were deemed necessary by
senior Air Force leaders to ensure a fitter and
healthier fighting force. Changes include biannual testing, minimum requirements within
testing components and establishing fitness
assessment cells to proctor tests.
“Our senior leadership has gone to great
lengths to ensure every Airman stays fit year
round,” said Chief Master Sgt. Mark Long, the
Air Force’s chief of enlisted promotions, evaluations and fitness policy. “We want all Airmen
to take fitness seriously. We intend that the
days of ‘cramming’ for the annual fitness test
will be replaced by an emphasis on year-round
fitness. We were the only military service who
did not test at least twice a year, and it’s a definite step in the right direction to change the
Air Force fitness culture.”
Although twice-a-year testing began Jan. 1,
the Air Force delayed implementing the new
fitness program until July 1 when Air Force
Instruction 36-2905 becomes effective. The
program promotes aerobic and muscular fitness, flexibility and optimal body composition
for Air Force members.
During the bi-annual fitness assessments,
Airmen will receive an overall composite fit-
ness score based on four components: a 1.5-mile
timed run for aerobic fitness, body composition
and the muscular fitness components of pushups and sit-ups. Airmen must meet minimum
requirements for each of the four components.
Components are weighted as follows: 60 points
for aerobic, 20 points for body composition, 10
points for pushups, and 10 points for sit-ups,
for a total of 100 possible points.
Another key change is the use of fitness assessment cells where trained civilian employees administer the fitness assessment. The
purpose of these cells is to reduce the administrative burden on squadrons and maximize
consistency in testing.
“The fitness program changes will help the
Air Force in many ways,” Chief Long said.
“They will help our Airmen stay healthier and
help reduce associated medical costs in this
budget constrained environment. Most important is a fitter force will help ensure we meet
and exceed mission requirements.”

Hurricane season fast approaching
Readiness a must for MacDill members
by Nick Stubbs
Thunderbolt editor
Readiness is one
of the most important components of
being an Airman
in today’s force, but
for those who live in
work in Florida, readiness takes on a dual meaning during the summer months.
Hurricane season begins June 1, and that means everyone must shift into
storm preparedness mode, said Staff Sgt. Joshua Bates, an emergency management craftsman with the 6th Civil Engineer Squadron. It’s his job to help get out
the word and ensure Airmen have the knowledge, supplies and plan needed in
the event of an evacuation order.
“A lot of people wait until June 1 to get started, but really now is the time to
get everything in order,” said. Sergeant Bates. “You don’t want to wait until the
season is here.”
That doesn’t leave a lot of time. Sergeant Bates recommends that anyone who
does not have their hurricane kits assembled, to get in gear and gear up.
Airmen can visit www.ready.gov to get a listing of items for their personal or
family kit, but typically a kit contains the essentials needed to survive for three
days, including food, a gallon of water per person per day, toiletries and even
items such as pet food.
One of the biggest concerns is for Airmen who have recently relocated to MacDill from parts of the country where hurricanes are not a threat. They don’t have
a good grasp on the dangers, or the importance of being ready, said Sergeant Bates.
“We can’t emphasize enough the seriousness of a hurricane,” he said. “A spouse
of a deployed member who is here from Kansas, for example, doesn’t really understand what to do.”
To help with the effort, the MacDill Commissary will be setting up isle displays
featuring the items needed to build a hurricane kit, said Sergeant Bates, whose
unit will be setting up information booths in conjunction with the effort that will
run through June. Coloring books, crossword puzzles for children, and information pamphlets for adults, will be part of the information campaign, he said. A
hurricane preparedness briefing was also included in the Town Hall meeting held
last week, he said.
“This time of year it is important to get the word out as much as possible so
people have it on their mind,” Sergeant Bates said.
Most of the information Airmen need can be found on the www.ready.gov site,
but servicemembers should also check with their unit emergency reps to square
away details of the unit evacuation plan, safe house and safe haven plans and
other details that ensure the process of hurricane evacuation runs as smoothly as
possible.
In addition to government Web site and Commisary, Bates notes home improvement stores in the area also feature hurricane emergency items in special
displays, and the www.tbo.com Web site is being recommended as a source of
local hurricane evacuation and preparedness information. Additional resources
throughout the hurricane season will be the MacDill Twitter and Facebook pages.
The final responsibility of servicemembers is to ensure their families are briefed
and that everyone understands the family emergency plan, said Sergeant Bates.
“When a storm is coming is not the time to try and figure things out,” he said.
“You have to be ready.”
Recommended Items to Include in a
Basic Emergency Supply Kit:
u Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at
least three days, for drinking and sanitation
u Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable
food
u Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA
Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for
both
u Flashlight and extra batteries
u First aid kit
u Whistle to signal for help
u Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
u Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for
personal sanitation
u Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
u Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food)
u Local maps
u Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger
Additional Items to Consider Adding to an
Emergency Supply Kit:
u Prescription medications and glasses

u Pet food and extra water for your pet
u Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in
a waterproof, portable container
u Cash or traveler’s checks and change
u Emergency reference material such as a first aid
book or information from www.ready.gov
u Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person. Consider additional bedding if you live in a cold-weather climate.
u Complete change of clothing including a long sleeved
shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes. Consider additional
clothing if you live in a cold-weather climate.

When diluted nine parts water to one part bleach, bleach
can be used as a disinfectant. Or in an emergency, you
can use it to treat water by using 16 drops of regular
household liquid bleach per gallon of water. Do not use
scented, color safe or bleaches with added cleaners.
u Fire Extinguisher
u Matches in a waterproof container
u Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items
u Mess kits, paper cups, plates and plastic utensils,
paper towels
u Paper and pencil
u Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children

Joint MacDill crews take civic leaders to tour Robins, Charleston
by Senior Airman Anna-Marie Wyant
927th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs
Fourteen local civic leaders returned Friday
from a two-day tour to Robins Air Force Base,
Ga., and Charleston Air Force Base, S.C. Approximately 20 Airmen from the 927th Air
Refueling Wing and 6th Air Mobility Wing, including Col. David P. Pavey, 927th ARW commander, Col. Theodore S. Mathews, the 927th
ARW vice commander, and Col. Larry Martin,
6th Air Mobility Wing commander, also took
part in the tour.
The tour, which departed MacDill Thursday
morning in a KC-135 Stratotanker, transported
the civic leaders, including 12 Honorary Commanders for the 6th AMW and 927th ARW, to
Robins first. Along the way, members of the
45th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron set
up a display of their equipment and explained
their missions to the civic leaders.
While at Robins, the group visited the Air
Force Reserve Headquarters and met Lt. Gen.
Charles E. Stenner, the chief of the Air Force
Reserve and the commander of the Air Force
Reserve Command. General Stenner explained
the various facets of the Reserves and thanked
the civic leaders for their patriotism and support.
“We’re here because we are a significant part
of this nation’s defense,” General Stenner said,
“and so are you. It’s not just the military doing
everything anymore; it’s the nation.”
General Stenner also discussed the need for
civilian employers of Reservists to show understanding for their Reservists’ unique needs as
military members. He said Reservists must
balance their military jobs, civilian jobs, and
families in what he calls the “Reserve Triad.”
He told the civic leaders that their support is
greatly appreciated by each part of the triad.
“Employers right now are doing a fantastic
job,” he said. “Keep doing what you’re doing.”
In addition, General Stenner recognized and
applauded the strong relationship between
927th ARW Reservists and 6th AMW activeduty service members, who have worked increasingly jointly since the 927th ARW moved
to MacDill in 2008.
“You all at MacDill, two big thumbs up; you’re
doing very well,” he said.

From Page 15
While at Robins, the group also toured an F15 Eagle static display, functional testing area
and wing repair shop, where they saw various
stages of what it takes to repair and maintain
military aircraft. The group departed Robins
that afternoon and spent the night in Charleston.
Friday morning, the group received a joint
mission briefing from Col. Martha A. Meeker,
the 628th Air Base Wing commander, and Col.
Michael Speer, the 315th Airlift Wing vice commander, and Col. John Wood, the 437th Airlift
Wing commander. They discussed the integrated missions at Charleston and how the activeduty and Reserve units work jointly, similar to
MacDill. The group also toured a C-17 Globemaster III static display and the life support
facilities before departing for MacDill.
During the flight to MacDill, the KC-135 aircrew demonstrated an aerial refueling with a C17. Civic leaders were given a chance to watch
the demonstration beside boom operator Staff
Sgt. Eric D. Flanders. of the 91st Air Refueling
Squadron, as he performed a simulated refueling.
Mrs. Vivian Reeves, 927th ARW Honorary
Commander, said the tour was a unique experience for her, and she would do it again in a
heartbeat.
“I loved every minute of it,” Mrs. Reeves said.
“It was the best trip I’ve ever had, and I’ve been
to a lot of places. I felt very honored to be part
of it.”
Maj. Christopher M. Bragdon, a pilot with
the 63rd Air Refueling Squadron, organized this
tour and said it was successful and significant.
“This is the first time the 6th and 927th have
done a civic leaders tour together,” Major Bragdon said. “It’s important to have total force integration, and it was a great learning experience
for both the civic leaders and the Airmen on the
tour.”
Colonel Pavey agreed that the tour was a
great learning experience that increases in importance as the military becomes smaller.
“Fewer and fewer members in elected positions have served in the military,” Colonel Pavey
said, “and American influence throughout the
world is not only accomplished by the military,
but by the influence of our communities. Educating these Honorary Commanders on our
mission and letting them see our spectacular
Airmen in action was priceless.”
