COMMENTARY Develop your vision by Gen. Stephen R. Lorenz Commander, Air Education and Training Command
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) – Imagine, if you will, an adaptive training environment that sits inside a bare room. This environment can be manipulated to simulate any task; from simple to complex. With the flick of a switch or push of a button, the bare room transforms into a living, breathing, interactive experience. Sounds and smells abound, people appear and interact, and objects can be held and manipulated. Once the training is complete, the same switch or button disengages the system, making the entire simulation disappear, leaving the original stark, bare room. In the “Star Trek” series, such an innovation was part of their daily routine. The “holodeck” permitted personnel aboard the Starship Enterprise to experience an interactive learning simulation. Imagine how such an innovation could help members of our Air Force. Not only would it save space, but also it would help man-
age risk, reduce training costs and permit personalized learning programs built specifically for the individual. The holodeck would revolutionize all aspects of how we operate in the Air Force. The holodeck is my vision of the perfect training and education aide. In fact, I wish every installation had hundreds of these interactive rooms throughout the base. The possibilities are endless. Sadly, I must temper my vision with reality and the realm of the possible. Although my vision may not be feasible today, it doesn’t mean that I should give up. Our job is to make dreams come true each and every day. I know you all have similar dreams, visions that could benefit our Airmen both today and tomorrow. Such visions must be pursued: You should never, ever, ever give up. In order to realize a vision, several things need to happen. First, you must align the vision with one of our core service functions. The closer to the core, the easier it will be to gain support and, eventually, resourcing. Next, take the vision and develop a strategy. Depending on your vision, the strategy may
involve acquisition, implementation, execution, modification or one of many other aspects. Let your strategy start at the 40 percent solution and then let it evolve to 80 percent and eventually to 98 percent. Realize that the process is continual; you will never get to 100 percent. With the strategy in place, you can start socializing the vision. Socialization will also help your vision progress and grow roots through increased organizational support and understanding. The support will help you champion the concept for resourcing. After all, your vision must have resourcing in order to come true. Those resources will go to winners, not to losers. Invest the time and energy to be a winner. In life, and especially in the Air Force, priorities and personnel are always changing. Over time, your vision will need to adapt to the realities of change. It will require even greater persistence and objectivity. Giving your vision roots and aligning it with core functions will create something that can be handed off and sustained through change. The best ideas, sustained

by hard work, can be carried forward by any leader. You may also find yourself joining an organization and accepting someone else’s vision. In this situation, evaluate their vision against current realities and resourcing priorities. If they’ve done their homework, the project will be easy to move forward. If they haven’t, assess the vision to determine if it should move ahead or if its time has passed. Last month, while visiting Fort See COMMENTARY, Page 14

Identity theft is a serious crime. It occurs when your personal information is stolen and used without your knowledge to commit fraud or other crimes. Identity theft can cost you time and money. It can destroy your credit and ruin your good name. The rigors of military life can compound the problems that identity theft creates. If you are deployed away from your usual duty station and do not expect to seek new credit while you are deployed, consider placing an “active duty alert” on your credit report. An active duty alert requires creditors to take steps to verify your identity before granting credit in your name. An active duty alert is effective for one year, unless you ask for it to be removed sooner. If your deployment lasts longer than a year, you may place another alert on your report. To place an active duty alert, or to have it removed, call the tollfree fraud number of one of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies. The company you call is required to contact the other two. The law
allows you to use a personal representative to place or remove an alert as well. Skilled identity thieves use a variety of methods to steal your personal information. The most common ways identity theft can happen are the following: 1. Dumpster Diving: They rummage through trash looking for bills or other paper with your personal information on it. 2. Skimming: They steal credit or debit card numbers by using a special storage device when processing your card. 3. Phishing: They pretend to be financial institutions or companies and send spam or pop-up messages to get you to reveal your personal information. 4. Changing Your Address: They divert your billing statements to another location by completing a change of address form. 5. Stealing: They steal wallets and purses; mail, including bank and credit card statements; pre-approved credit offers; and new checks or tax information. They steal personnel records from their employers, or bribe employees who have access. While safeguarding your
personal information, keep in mind the 3 D’s: Deter, Detect and Defend. Deter identity thieves by safeguarding your identification card, shredding your information and protecting your social security number. Detect suspicious activity by routinely monitoring your financial accounts and billing statements. If you are unable to take these steps while you are deployed, consider placing an “active duty alert” on your credit report. Defend against identity theft as soon as you suspect it and notify your respective creditors and you could also contact the three nationwide consumer reporting companies to place a 90day fraud alert on your credit report. This tells the creditors to follow certain procedures before they open a new account in your name or make changes to your existing accounts.

NEWS/FEATURES Are you up for MatchUP 2009; anyone can win $10,000 by Nick Stubbs Thunderbolt editor
Summer is here, and in addition to the return of hot weather, the hottest game in Air Mobility Command is back. Playing MatchUP is free, and the payoff could be as high as $10,000 in cash, with lots of smaller prizes up for grabs, including $100 each week to some lucky MacDill player. The game is played by using game pieces collected from the various base services, eateries and stores around MacDill, going online and entering the codes on the game pieces.
“Anyone on base can play.”
Wendy Foster
Players then get a shot at a challenging “concentration” style memory game to play on-line, which improves the player’s odds at a bigger prize. But each piece entered also helps MacDill in the base race. “Getting maximum participation this year is key,” said Maj. Jeffrey Krusinski, 6th Force Support Squadron, who is hoping MacDill can beat the rest of AMC. AMC bases will be competing to see which can muster the most game pieces at the end of the 90-day game run, and thousands of dollars to help improve the quality of life
on base are on the line, she said. “We are encouraging every person in every family to enter at least two game pieces online,” said Major Krusinski adding that it takes two pieces entered by someone identifying MacDill as their home base to qualify toward the base race. “Each year, 200 to 300 players only enter one game piece,” he said. “If they could play just one more, it could make all the difference to MacDill in the 2009 game.” She also notes that reservists on temporary duty at MacDill, contractors and those among the various mission partners should list MacDill as their base when playing to help MacDill’s chance of winning prizes. “Anyone on base can play,” said Wendy Foster, 6 FSS marketing director. “There is a good chance of winning the base race if everyone gets involved and enters the minimum two pieces.” The 2009 MatchUP game got under way Monday, but kicked off big with a family fun day and cookout today, Friday, at the base beach. “We’re hoping for a high level of (MatchUP) participation this year,” said Major Krusinski. “It could mean a lot to MacDill and helping improve services to the base.” For more information on playing Matchup, log onto: www.macdillfss. com and click on the Matchup logo or call Marketing at 828-3055

Sheltering in place on MacDill
by Bonnie Von Dohre 6th Civil Engineer Squadron Emergency Management
When personnel on MacDill AFB are faced with a hazardous material incident, they may be directed to shelter-inplace. Sheltering-in-place is not a new concept; however, it is still greatly misunderstood. Unlike Cold War nuclear fallout shelters or sheltering during a tornado, shelter-in-place is meant for short term sheltering during a hazardous material release. The shelter can be any room in your building, but should have as few windows and doors as possible and be large enough to fit everyone comfortably for 2 to 4 hours. A radio or television should be in the shelter to know when it is safe to leave and a telephone or radio should
be available to call for help or let others know that you are safe. Shelter-in-place will be directed by local authorities when time does not allow for a safe evacuation and the release is only expected to last for a few hours. In these cases, the rapidly forming hazardous plume presents an inhalation hazard that could lead to injury or death. By sheltering-in-place, you can create a bubble of clean air in which to shelter while the hazard dissipates outside. MacDill AFB has been divided into sectors and blocks to aid in evacuations and sheltering-in-place. Units may be directed to shelter-in-place by sectors and blocks based upon the location and downwind hazard of the event. Signs are located on all common bulletin boards in See SHELTER, Page 10

each building to tell personnel in which sector and block that building is located and the location of that building’s shelter room. Personnel should be familiar with their work center’s shelter-inplace location, but should also be prepared to find the shelter location of other work centers should they find themselves in other buildings when shelter-in-place is initiated. Personnel located outside when sheltering-in-place is initiated should proceed to the nearest building and shelter with those personnel. Shelter-in-place procedures can also be effectively used at home. Although shelter-in-place is simple to do, it will work better if it is pre-planned and practiced. For more information about local shelter-in-place procedures, contact your unit Emergency Management Representative or the MacDill Emergency Management office at 8284321.

Warriors Every Day Thunderbolt staff report
Members of the 6th Mission Support Group tested their warrior skills and Airman’s Manual knowledge during the first MSG Warrior Day held here May 27. Each squadron and the group staff had an eight person team who participated in eight physically and mentally challenging events. The purpose of the day came about when Col Billy Francis, 6 MSG commander, wanted to find a way for the Airmen of the 6 MSG to focus on the combat skills needed by all Airmen as well as gain an appreciation for the dedication of the Airmen that came before them. “It’s important for all Airmen to have the perspective of the great hardships and devotion associated with overcoming fatigue and to appreciate what those before us accomplished on our behalf,” said Col Francis. “This day was about embodying everything the Airman’s Creed stands for…being a wingman, leader and warrior.” Congrats to the 6 LRS, winner of the MSG Warrior Challenge!

peditionary Center, I came as close as I’ve ever been to a functioning holodeck. I watched in awe as deploying Airmen entered a series of rooms at the Medical Training Simulation Center. They fought through heavy smoke to reach bloodied bodies that littered the floor. Sirens wailed and explosions shook the room, all interrupting their efforts to save the wounded. Once their training was complete, instructors activated a switch that disengaged the simulation. In this situation, the switch did not make the entire interactive experience disappear. Although the smoke cleared and sirens stopped wailing, the “original stark, bare room” still held the medical training dummies. It was more than enough to get my heart racing.
My vision still needs some time to evolve and mature. This doesn’t mean I’m going to give up. I simply need to work a little harder. Our Air Force needs you to champion your vision as well. Develop it along our service core functions and socialize it; let it grow
roots and evolve. Don’t let your vision disappear like the end of a holodeck simulation exercise. Do your homework and the resources will follow. After all, it is your initiatives that fuel the positive change that makes our Air Force the finest in the world.

thing many will benefit from going into the future. Among those upgrades are new theater seating, paint, an upgraded sound system and a fully Americans with Disabilities Act approved stage to accommodate handicapped speakers. A free showing of “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” Friday night,” is being held as part of the reopening celebration. From there, the theater returns to its usual schedule of movies Friday’s at 7 p.m., a Saturday matinee at 3 p.m. geared for younger audiences, and a Saturday 7 p.m. movie. Weekdays, the
theater is used for other events, including special uses, or official wing business whenever a large space is needed or a screen for slide of movie presentations. The 6th Mission Support Group commander’s call was held in the theater Wednesday, a day before the official reopening. “It’s a good facility when you have a large crowd to accommodate,” said Capt. Wellman. The Hurricane Awareness Event at the base theater is Wednesday at 3p.m. Activities will include a door prize drawing and a free showing of the movie “State of Play.”

SPORTS/FITNESS Base pool open for summer by Nick Stubbs Thunderbolt editor
Splishing, splashing, squealing — a cacophony of cohorts coming together in chlorinated bliss; that’s right, the base pool is open for summer. It couldn’t come soon enough for those who like to make swimming laps part of their physical training routine. It also is a big event for base children, who flock to the pool to cool off, play with friends and generally have a good time. “It will be packed with kids as soon as school lets out,” said Carrie Schwartz, lifeguard and pool manager. “Right now we have the lappers in the mornings and some kids come after school, but it’s just getting started.”
This year, there is a lot of emphasis on pool safety, particularly with the children, she said. A new rule is that there is no jumping or diving into the pool from the pool deck. Last year, swimmers were permitted to jump from the sides into the deep end of the pool, but due to the chance of a slip or miscalculation, the practice is off limits now. As always, the biggest challenge for the lifeguards at the pool is keeping the kids reigned in. “They get excited and carried away,” said Ms. Schwartz. “We always have to remind them there is no running allowed, but it’s hard for them because they get wrapped up in having fun.” But since accidents are no fun See POOL, Page 18

at all, the rules are law at the pool. Each person using the pool has to familiarize themselves with those rules, posted prominently on a 6-foot-high sign at the head of the pool. Children up to 13 who want to swim in the deep end of the pool must pass a swimming test, swimming 40 meters on the shallow end, then passing a one-minute test in water over their head before they may use the deep end. Once the test is passed, the name of the child is recorded so they don’t have to prove proficiency on their next visit. A special wrist band indicates they have permission to use the deep end of the pool. Parents should be aware that children 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years old. Children 11 and older may be left at the pool on their own providing they have passed the swimming test. Children may
not use inflatable floatation devices in the pool, such as Water Wings and other pool toys that are not U.S. Coast Guard approved flotation devices, said Ms. Schwartz. “Most of the kids are pretty good about the rules,” she said. “It’s just that you have to remind them sometimes and keep a close eye on them.” That job goes to the lifeguards on duty at any given time through the summer. Four to five certified lifeguards are on duty at any given time, said Marie Smith, outdoor activities programmer and pool facility manager. The lifeguards keep a close eye on all activity in the pool to ensure safety. “If a person is struggling in the deep end of the pool, whether they passed the swim test or are over the age where they don’t have to test, we get them out of the pool,” said Ms. Smith. “It’s all common sense safety.” Users of the base pool are reminded to bring an ID card to gain pool access.
