On Thursday we recog-nize Veterans Day, an occa-sion which commemoratesthe armistice between theallied nations and Germanyduring World War I. Thefighting stopped on theeleventh hour of theeleventh day of theeleventh month in 1918.

While Armistice Daywas originally an occasion to honor the vet-erans of World War I, it soon became clearthis was not the “war to end all wars” andthere would be many more veterans tohonor and thank for service in World War IIand Korea.

So, in 1954, Armistice Day was re-desig-nated Veterans Day in honor of all veterans.

Since that time American military menand women have served in Vietnam, theBalkans, the countries of Southwest andCentral Asia, in numerous skirmishes and

countless humanitarian missions around theworld. Many of those men and women gavethe last full measure of devotion PresidentLincoln spoke of so eloquently in his famousGettysburg Address in November of 1863.

On Veterans Day, we should continue tobe mindful of our service members servingin Iraq and Afghanistan and also rememberthe sacrifices their families are making onthe home front.

Freedom is never free; there is always acost to those who defend it. Brooke ArmyMedical Center and the Center for theIntrepid on Fort Sam Houston are repletewith examples of our brave men andwomen in uniform who have paid the price,done it willingly and in many cases, want toget back into the fight. Many of you assignedto Joint Base San Antonio have served atleast one tour “down range.”

It is because of you and veterans pastand future that our country will remainfree. I thank you and your families, andhope you will take a moment to reflect onyour contributions you have made to ournation.

Veterans Day

Honoring all who serve our nation

Brig. Gen.Leonard Patrick

By Lt. Col. Michael Mongold802nd Operations Support Squadron

Can you name one ofAmerica’s most trusted profes-sions? How about the one thathas consistently earned theAmerican public’s highest levelof confidence? It should be nosurprise that the United StatesArmed Forces comes out on topin both cases.

Every day from across ourgreat nation, parents are wav-ing goodbye to their sons anddaughters as they head off tobecome a member of the AirForce team. Mom and Dad maynot always understand exactlywhat their children will bedoing, but they are well aware

that their sons and daughtersare entering an honorable pro-fession whose sole purpose isto provide for our security andprotect the freedoms of ournation and our allies.

As our Airman’s creedstates, each new recruit resultsin “one more guardian of free-dom and justice,” another“sword and shield,” a “sentryand avenger” to defend ourcountry. But, equally impor-tant, the Air Force also gainsan Airman Ambassador.

What is an AirmanAmbassador? They are everyAirman – from the newestbasic trainee to our most seniorfour-star general. AirmanAmbassadors are our link to

the American public and refersto the impressions and impacts,through acts, deeds and wordsthat each Airman impartswhen they interact outside ofour fence line.

Being an Airman Ambass-ador is not an additional dutyor something you can volunteerfor. It is the inherent obligationof all men and women whowear the uniform.

Lesson number one whenyou become a commander isthat someone is always watch-ing. Truer words have neverbeen spoken, not only for com-manders but for each andevery Airman, in and out ofuniform.

With this in mind, we must

ensure we always do the rightthing and be keenly aware thatthe motive for our every action- either real or perceived -influences the public’s view ofour noble profession.

This weekend is LacklandAirfest 2010. Initial estimatesput the potential number ofattendees at well over 200,000.We couldn’t ask for a bettervenue to validate why the trustand confidence in the US mili-tary is so well founded. So getout there and enjoy some quali-ty time with the public, butkeep in mind that it doesn’tstop there.

Why? Because anAmbassador’s job is neverdone!

Every Airman is an Ambassador

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE – Air Educationand Training Command is closing in on a neverbefore achieved safety goal – going 365 days with-out a fatality as of Oct. 29.

According to Robbie Bogard, AETC Safety andOccupational Health Specialist, the First Commandhas eclipsed the previous 250 days without a fatalmishap by going 343 days without a fatal mishapand 394 days without a motorcycle fatality.

“These numbers show that AETC commanders,instructors and motorcycle mentors are doing theirpart to save lives,” Mr. Bogard said. “It’s importantto be continually on the lookout for risk, as thingscan happen when you least expect them to.”

The safety team’s immediate goal is to make itthrough November 20 fatality free. Doing thatwould push AETC to 365 days without a fatality.

“Reaching this goal is a major milestone inmishap prevention for the First Command,” Mr.Bogard said. “We normally lose about 10 Airmen a

year to preventable mishaps.”Air Education and Training Command’s subse-

quent goal is to make it through the end of thecalendar year fatality free, something theAETC safety representatives say is upto everyone to achieve.

“Every 10 seconds in theUnited States, someone isinjured in a car crash,” Mr.Bogard said. “On top of that ...every 12 minutes, someonedies in a car crash.”

According to the Center forDisease Control and Preventionwebsite, traffic death rates areon the decline in the UnitedStates, but traffic accidents killmore people aged 15-29 than anyother cause.

“The safety community cannot stresssafety enough,” Mr. Bogard said. “Selling safetyand saving lives is up to each member in AETCand the Air Force.

“Make sure to do your part to keep each othersafe,” he said.

The safety office said that wingmen programsplay a large part in preventing mishaps

and fatalities. Look out for one anoth-er, help each other identify risk

and risky behavior, and actaccordingly to reduce risk.

Mr. Bogard said that ourupcoming holidays will chal-lenge our outstanding mishaprecord, but that he is confi-dent the safety record willremain intact.

Mr. Bogard went on to sayhe recommends everyone take a

look at the Center for DiseaseControl and Prevention’s website

becoming a statistic.Visit http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/ for

Andy Reimundher, 59th Medical WingDivision of Education and Training deputy chief, as they prepare foran upcoming inspection. Colonel Bachelor is one of San Antonio’sWomen’s Leadership Award winners.

By Linda Frost59th Medical Wing Public Affairs

The commander of the 59th InpatientOperations Group is the recipient of the 2010Women’s Leadership Award in the public serv-ice education category.

Col. Amy Bachelor is one of 18 women rec-ognized by the San Antonio Business Journalfor outstanding leadership. The award wasrecently presented at the Oak Hills CountryClub in San Antonio. There were nearly 100nominees for the awards.

The women’s leadership award recognizeswomen for their contributions to the economy,advancements in business, helping makeimprovements in the community and throughvolunteer work and nonprofit organizations.

As a leader of approximately 1,000 militaryand civilian nursing professionals, ColonelBachelor is the commander of the only NurseCorps Inpatient Group in the Air Force. Shedirects a leadership team of 16 executive man-agers and 25 middle managers and oversees a$35 million budget and $18.5 million in con-tracts annually.

Colonel Bachelor’s says her philosophy is to“mentor, role model, motivate and take care ofpeople.”

“I love being a nurse and I have alwaysenjoyed patient care,” she said. “But now, in a

leadership role, my job is to take care of thosewho take care of patients.”

The impact of her leadership is felt world-wide. She is also responsible for the readiness,training and deployment of 250 nursing staffwho support combat operations in Iraq andAfghanistan as well as multiple humanitarianmissions to around the world.

“The outstanding care provided to theseSoldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines directlycontributed to a 98 percent combat injury sur-vival rate – the highest in U.S. history,” said Lt.Col. Judy Gavin, 59th Training Squadron com-mander, who prepared the nomination pack-age.

Colonel Bachelor’s greatest accomplishmentfor the San Antonio military medical commu-nity is her role as the Base Realignment andClosure Commission Air Force IntegrationLead for Nursing, combining over 1,000 nurs-ing personnel at Wilford Hall Medical Centerwith nursing staff at Brooke Army MedicalCenter, Fort Sam Houston.

“As a key architect and joint nursing teambuilder, she is the face of Air Force nursing,forging the best practices of the largest twomedical centers in the Department ofDefense,” Colonel Gavin said. “She is literallywriting the script for joint medical operationsin the future and her efforts have been hailedby the Secretary of the Air Force.”

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. – For fourmonths, an Airman from Lackland’s 802ndSecurity Forces Squadron provided dignity, honorand respect while serving on a carry team withAir Force Mortuary Affairs Operations at DoverAir Force Base, Del.

Staff Sgt. Rachel Gamertsfelder-Doane wasrecently part of an eight-person team that trans-ferred the remains of fallen servicemembers whenthey arrived at Dover for a dignified transfer.Carry teams also transfer remains prior to depar-ture for their final resting place.

The transfer is a solemn movement of the fall-en servicemember from an aircraft to a vehicle tothe AFMAO Center. A transfer event is conductedfor every servicemember who dies while support-ing a combat operation, and also is enacted forcivilians involved in a mass fatality or for thoseattached to other federal agencies supporting thewar effort.

During a dignified transfer, the carry team, cladin an Airman battle uniform and stark, whitegloves, carries the fallen servicemember from theaircraft to the dignified transfer vehicle with

solemn, deliberate movements.For Sergeant Gamertsfelder-Doane, the experi-

ence was another opportunity to show her respectto fallen servicemembers. While deployed, shewas part of a group who placed transfer cases onaircraft bound for the states.

She said serving on the team at Dover reas-sured her that the care and honor put into thetransfer downrange was continued. “I didn’t knowhow much honor and respect (went) into it on theother side,” she said.

Normally made up of Airmen from the servicescareer field, Sergeant Gamertsfelder-Doane wasamong the first four Airmen from career fieldsoutside that specialty to serve on the team. Theopportunity to serve on the AFMAO carry teamwas a unique chance for the security forcesAirman and one that gave her a great deal of sat-isfaction.

“I’m very proud of everything I have been ableto do,” she said.

Sergeant Gamertsfelder-Doane trained, drovevehicles, steamed and folded flags, and carriedthe fallen with dignify, honor and respect. Sheexperienced something outside her Air Force spe-cialty and left with something in return – pridefrom being part of a special mission.

In a continuing effort to meetemerging threats, Air Force officialsinitiated the service-wide upgrade ofoperating systems to Windows 7 Oct.29.

“This upgrade keeps with life cyclemanagement best practices for infor-mation technology systems,” said Col.Mark Ware, 24th Air Force director ofoperations. “The Air Force’s upgradefrom remaining Windows XP andthose using Vista enhances the secu-rity of the Air Force information net-works, reduces the manpowerrequirements for desktop administra-tion, and lowers overall softwarelicensing costs.”

Programmers with 24th Air Forceand its operational arm, the 624thOperations Center, have been testingand evaluating the upgrade on asmall sample of the Air Force net-work since mid-August, providingassessments back to Air Force lead-ers regarding the readiness of theservice to accept the upgrade. TheAir Force-wide implementation whichstarted Oct. 29 will continue to stand-ing systems, with the goal of complet-ing the upgrade across the service byDecember 2011.

“We ensure systematic, monitoredprocedures are used to conduct allcyberspace upgrades,” said Col.Victor Diaz, the 624th OC command-er. “We want to ensure that theprocess is as operationally non-inter-

ruptive as possible, and we providesupport to each base as they conductthe upgrade on their systems.”

For those average users currentlyusing Vista, which is a majority of theAir Force population Colonel Diazsaid, the upgrade will be nearlytransparent. The biggest changes willbe seen by those changing fromWindows XP.

“The Integrated NetworkOperations and Security Centers,Enterprise Support Desk, and thebase-level communications squad-rons will be ready to answer ques-tions about the change-over,” said Lt.Col. Todd Glanzer, 24th Air Forcedirector of communications. “Thechange from Vista to Windows 7 willnot be very drastic, but for those

moving from the XP systems, weanticipate a need for a higher level ofsupport, due to the big differences inthe software.”

The immediate piece of theupgrade initiation is the acquisition ofnew equipment.

“With the implementation ofStandard Desktop Configuration 3.1,newly purchased equipment must beable to support the Windows 7 oper-ating system, and that equipment willhave Windows 7 loaded upon deliveryto the customer,” Colonel Ware said.

To learn more about the differ-ences between Windows XP, Vista andWindows 7, see the MicrosoftCorporation website at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/compare/versions.aspx.

It was fitting that the 802nd CivilEngineer Squadron was almost halfwaythrough installing energy efficient win-dow insulators at Air Force Intelligence,Surveillance and ReconnaissanceAgency headquarters during October.

Since October was national EnergyAwareness Month, it was natural thesquadron be involved in a major energyconservation project.

Once the project at AFISRA HQ(Bldg. 2000) is completed in early 2011,both energy and dollar savings willbegin to be realized.

With an investment of nearly$475,000 to install the energy-efficientinsulators, 802nd CES expects to recov-er about $100,000 annually in energy-savings costs. The AFISRA project fol-

lows the installation of In’Flector win-dow insulators at the Gateway Clubearlier in 2010 to improve that build-ing’s energy efficiency and reduce costs.

As Lackland adheres to reducingenergy consumption 3 percent a yearby 2015 per federal mandates (therequirements began in 2006), projectmanagers are constantly looking to fea-sibly convert “energy hogs” to “energyefficient” when possible.

“It’s going to be tougher,” saidMonico Luna, 802nd CES Energy andUtilities Team chief, about staying with-in the timeline mandates. “A lot of thelow-hanging fruit has been picked, sonow we’re going to have to get up thetree.”

While not every building is a goodcandidate for window insulators, Bldg.2000 turned out to be a match for theIn’Flectors when it came to energy sav-

ings and return on investment. The installation will reduce an esti-

mated 20 percent energy loss throughthe 53-year-old building’s windows toabout 3 percent. In’Flectors reflects hotor cool air back into the interior ratherthan allowing conduction through glass,convection or seal leakage.

In addition to the energy reduction,In’Flectors also provides more savings:90 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet raysare blocked which prevents damage tocarpets, drapes and furniture.

“We’re looking at other potentialbuildings with a lot of windows but finaldeterminations have not been made,”Mr. Luna said. “Coming in FY ’11 willbe more HVAC modifications and otherprojects meant to conserve energy anddollars.

“There is still a lot of potential andopportunity but it’s related to our

investment cost and the return oninvestment while keeping in mind theultimate goal of what is going to reduceenergy.”

Even with nine energy-reductionprojects in FY 2010 and more plannedfor the future by taking advantage ofnew technology and innovations, ener-gy conservation and raising awarenessstill comes down to educating the basepopulous and changing behavior pat-terns.

“We could bring in the best technolo-gy that’s available but if it’s not usedcorrectly and people don’t understandor embrace it (habits won’t change),”Mr. Luna said. “Education is justreminding people.

“We can make an immediate impactby changing light bulbs but if peopledon’t change their habits (to conserveenergy), we’re back at square one.”

The chief master sergeant of the AirForce met with the top enlisted leaderof the Afghan air force at Lackland Oct.27.

Chief Master Sgt. of the Air ForceJames Roy and Eid Mohammad, thecommand sergeant major of the airforce in Afghanistan, discussed educa-tion, training and other issues relatingto the enlisted forces of both nations.

“It’s great to have (Command Sgt.Maj.) of the air force Mohammad, fromAfghanistan, here today,” Chief Roysaid. “This meeting that we had heretoday is important because it’s his firstvisit to the United States, and his first

exposure to the greater United StatesAir Force. We had an opportunity totalk about recruiting, basic training,technical training, all the way throughto (professional military education),based on his desires.”

Chief Roy said the priorities ofCommand Sergeant Major Mohammadare very similar to those of U.S. AirForce leaders.

“He’s interested in basically thesame thing we’re interested in: proper-ly organizing, training and equippinghis airmen,” Chief Roy said. “He’s alsointerested in how well we care for ourAirmen. He certainly understands thefiscal restraints of his nation, but he’s amotivator, first of all, and he’s an advo-cate for his airmen.”

Command Sergeant MajorMohammad, speaking through an inter-preter, said he has learned a lot frommeetings with U.S. Air Force leaders.

“What we’ve learned here is that youhave a great leadership system, espe-cially the enlisted folks,” he said. “Welearned that the enlisted folks shouldreceive education in Afghanistan, inorder to be good leaders.”

The command sergeant major alsosaid that what he has learned gives himhope for the future development of theAfghan air force.

“This gives me a hope that one day,in Afghanistan, we will train our enlist-ed airmen in order to become goodleaders in the future, to take care ofeach other in the air force,” he said.

Chief Roy highlighted the close rela-tionship between members of theAfghan and U.S. air forces.

“It’s important for me to keep rela-tionships with the leadership ofAfghanistan,” he said.

“As they continue to build theirforce, we need to understand whattheir desires are. We have Airmenthere today (who) are in what we callair advisory roles. Those Airmen aredoing amazing work for the UnitedStates, along with NATO, and of course,for Afghanistan. So it’s very importantfor us to continue with that relation-ship. I think that reflects back to everyone of those Airmen that we havedeployed forward, how important theirmission is, each and every day.”

AFRC offers resume writing classesBy Mike JosephStaff Writer

Two units in the 802nd ForceSupport Squadron, the Airman andFamily Readiness Center and theCivil ian Personnel Section, havejoined together to provide resourcesfor educating current Air Force civil-ian employees on the new singlestaffing program.

Beginning Nov. 15, civi l ianemployees wil l apply for vacantinternal and external positions usingthe federal government websiteUSAJOBS. To search for vacant posi-tions, employees can use a recentlylaunched Air Force website,www.afcivi l iancareers.com , orwww.usajobs.com. The process nowrequires applicants to include aresume.

To assist Lackland’s Civi l ianPersonnel Section with thechangeover, AFRC is offering eightclasses in basic resume writing dur-ing November and December. Thefirst class was held this week andthe next class is Wednesday, 5-7p.m., at the AFRC, Bldg. 1249.

AFRC will hold more classes dur-ing the next seven weeks on differentdays and times to reach cross sec-tions of the base population interest-ed in the class.

“Our part is to support civilianpersonnel because this is the firsttime a lot of people are going to haveto develop a resume as an internalemployee,” said Sharon Witter, AFRCchief. “We understand it’s difficult towrite a resume and some people maynot have done it before. We’re offer-ing these extra basic resume writingclasses to those who may want tolearn more and create a betterresume.”

In addition to the resume writingclasses, civilian personnel sponsoredfive town hall meetings last week onthe new single staff ing tool .Additional town halls for organiza-tions to inform even more Lacklandemployees will depend on demand.

Beverly Diaz, Civilian PersonnelSection chief, said civilian employeesshould be proactive with the newprogram in creating or updatingtheir resumes at usajobs.com.

“We are encouraging candidates

to establish an account onusajobs.com and pre-position theirresumes so they will be ready if a jobthey are looking for is posted,” Ms.Diaz said.

“(With the town halls and basicresume writing classes) we are try-ing to provide resources for appli-cants to be successful in preparationfor a future job search.”

Ms. Diaz said the normal time-frame for job announcements atLackland is five days. Creating anaccount and resume at usajobs.comahead of time, she said, would helpavoid missing an announcementdeadline.

“It’s very important to start posi-tioning a resume now because if aperson decides to apply for a job andsees the announcement on the thirdday, they might lose out,” Ms. Diazsaid. “By the time an account andresume are created, the announce-ment may have closed.”

Ms. Diaz also said that thewww.afciviliancareers.com websitealready links to www.usajobs.com fortutorials with step-by-step instruc-t ions. Most San Antonio-areaWorkforce Solutions Alamo centersalso have certified USAJOBS person-nel on site for assistance off base.

“It’s a big change but I think itwill be a welcome change,” she said.“It will be one central process, notone internal way and one externalway.”

Ms. Witter said AFRC stands readyto provide the necessary tools tocivilian employees in the convertingto the new program.

“We’ll saturate the basic resumewrit ing class for the next twomonths,” she said. “If these classesfill up, we may do more until thedemands are met.”

For information about upcomingbasic resume writing classes, call theAFRC at 671-3722.

What’s Happening Family Support Events

WWW.LACKLANDFSS.COM

By Patrick DesmondSports Editor

It’s been quite a year for intramural flagfootball, and a year not quite like any otherfor the league champion 59th MedicalLogistics Readiness Squadron.

Before the season began Sept. 14, MLRScoach Lloyd Brock told his squad “we haveenough athletes to win this thing.”

How many would’ve kept the faith ifthey’d seen the obstacles ahead for theMLRS: two early season losses – to NavyInformation Operations Center and the737th Training Group; an unprecedentedlevel of competition in Division-I – five teamstied after the final week; a first-roundmatchup against NIOC – a team that started6-0, and a semifinal against 737th TRG – ateam which previously handed them a 36-6whooping.

Finally, MLRS squared off against the

team with nothing to lose – a stubbornDivision III team in 802nd Security ForcesSquadron – which, on its way to the finals,took down postseason king, the 59th DentalSquadron.

“If we do what we do well, we feel like noone can beat us,” said MLRS coach LloydBrock, looking back on the challenges.

An opportunistic defense and an efficientoffense ensured no one would beat themTuesday night at Warhawk Field, as MLRSput down SFS, 13-0.

MLRS’ aggressive pass rush forced inter-ceptions on three consecutive drives to startthe game, setting up quarterback Otis Milowith a short field and the challenge of evad-ing pressure to toss two touchdowns.

With a 13-0 lead at halftime, MLRS’defense continued its lights out perform-ance, recording another interception on thegame’s final series.

Defensive minded, Brock couldn’t be hap-

pier with how the game played out. “I pride myself in D,” he said. “To get a

game like that means the world to me.”Larry Smith, sidelined with an injury, said

the game provided another benchmark inthe MLRS’ story: “It’s the first time we shutout a team all year. We hadn’t had thatmany sacks and picks in one game.”

After stalling on the first two drives, whiletaking three sacks, MLRS’ normally shiftyquarterback found his footing.

Following a Steffon Adams’ interception,Milo nearly fell down splitting a SFS rush.Keeping his feet long enough, he foundreceiver Brandon Hinkley in the endzone.

Milo said, “I lost my balance a little. Iknew they had a tough rush. I was expectingit, and they didn’t disappoint.”

After the score, the MLRS forced anotherbad throw and Kevin Morrow stepped in

It’s been quite a year for intramural flagfootball, and a year not quite like any otherfor the league champion 59th MedicalLogistics Readiness Squadron.

Before the season began Sept. 14, MLRScoach Lloyd Brock told his squad “we haveenough athletes to win this thing.”

How many would’ve kept the faith ifthey’d seen the obstacles ahead for theMLRS: two early season losses – to NavyInformation Operations Center and the737th Training Group; an unprecedentedlevel of competition in Division-I – five teamstied after the final week; a first-roundmatchup against NIOC – a team that started6-0, and a semifinal against 737th TRG – ateam which previously handed them a 36-6whooping.

Finally, MLRS squared off against the

team with nothing to lose – a stubbornDivision III team in 802nd Security ForcesSquadron – which, on its way to the finals,took down postseason king, the 59th DentalSquadron.

“If we do what we do well, we feel like noone can beat us,” said MLRS coach LloydBrock, looking back on the challenges.

An opportunistic defense and an efficientoffense ensured no one would beat themTuesday night at Warhawk Field, as MLRSput down SFS, 13-0.

MLRS’ aggressive pass rush forced inter-ceptions on three consecutive drives to startthe game, setting up quarterback Otis Milowith a short field and the challenge of evad-ing pressure to toss two touchdowns.

With a 13-0 lead at halftime, MLRS’defense continued its lights out perform-ance, recording another interception on thegame’s final series.

Defensive minded, Brock couldn’t be hap-

pier with how the game played out. “I pride myself in D,” he said. “To get a

game like that means the world to me.”Larry Smith, sidelined with an injury, said

the game provided another benchmark inthe MLRS’ story: “It’s the first time we shutout a team all year. We hadn’t had thatmany sacks and picks in one game.”

After stalling on the first two drives, whiletaking three sacks, MLRS’ normally shiftyquarterback found his footing.

Following a Steffon Adams’ interception,Milo nearly fell down splitting a SFS rush.Keeping his feet long enough, he foundreceiver Brandon Hinkley in the endzone.

Milo said, “I lost my balance a little. Iknew they had a tough rush. I was expectingit, and they didn’t disappoint.”

After the score, the MLRS forced anotherbad throw and Kevin Morrow stepped in

front of the pass to set up the final score.Facing a persistent pressure, Milo received

advice that changed the game.Milo said his lineman told him the rushers were

coming off the edge wide. He adapted by running upthe middle.

Milo stepped up in the pocket and threw a jumpball to the six-foot plus Adams, who reached overand ripped a catch from his defender.

The following 1-point conversion to AlphiusWhite ended the scoring.

Though SFS fought back, holding MLRS scorelessin the second half while driving within MLRS’ 20-yard line three consecutive possessions, tight mark-ing frustrated SFS’ attack in key fourth-down plays.

With the ball on the 8-yard line, Milo snagged thegame-ending interception.

MLRS linemen Larry Smith and Tommy Garciasaid, the championship is owed to a close group offriends and dedicated to a squadron that has car-ried on in times, good and bad.

“It is the source of a lot of pride for oursquadron, for everyone who has been working sohard,” Garcia said.

With intramural championships in both footballand basketball earlier this year, MLRS has capturedtwo of five total base-wide trophies.

Garcia added, hopefully the achievements “willraise morale. We work hard and we play hard.”

Yet, there’s more to do.Intramural sports director Jerry Tiger said the

two teams will represent Lackland at the inauguralJoint Base San Antonio intramural championships,Nov. 16-17 on base.

With a season’s worth of challenges and JBSA onhis mind, coach Brock’s outlook is “in a word: confi-dent,” he said. “We’re ready to get started.”

Varsity to push tempo in 2010-11 By Patrick DesmondSports Editor

Weeks before the Warhawks’ season opener atTemple Junior College Saturday, the men’s varsity bas-ketball coach has been busy re-engineering a winner.

Second-year coach Curtis McGlown has been install-ing a faster up-and-down game.

“We do a made-shot (fast)break,” McGlown saidabout the drill run since the start of practice in October.“As soon as the ball goes in, we take it out. There’s a lotof hugging the trash cans.”

The 2011 Warhawks unit is traveling coast-to-coastand back across fitness center courts in 17 seconds.

Since the physical makeup of the team has gottensmaller due to roster changes, McGlown said they’re“staying away more from the halfcourt set.”

With the loss of Dikembe Mutombo-like centerQuentin Leathers and power forward Dietrick Mayer,McGlown is looking at a new crew of big men to fill thevoid under the boards.

Joining the team in the paint are former Air ForceAcademy center Byron Nicholas, Jason Sparks andBryan Hawks.

McGlown hopes the experience of backcourt veteransMichael Whitehead, All-Air Force shooting guard JosephEasley and team captain Tim Anderson should ease thetransition for new players.

The Warhawks captured its fifth regional SouthwestMilitary Basketball Championship last year before fallingin the National Military Basketball Championship. Warhawks captain Tim Anderson
