Inside a maintenance dock inone of the oldest buildings atRobins, a massive undertakinghas humbly taken center stagefor more than a year.In a space where a C-5 Galaxy is usually

parked during programmed depot mainte-nance, Dock 2 operations have instead fo-cused on renovations to completely overhaulnot an aircraft, but the physical location itselfwhere planners, engineers, schedulers andmaintainers work every day.Everything from the floors below to the

roof above has undergone a transformation, acosmetic, behind-the-scenes upgrade of epicproportions that will be celebrated during aribbon cutting later this month.“C-5 personnel are some of the most pro-

fessional, most talented mechanics in the air-craft maintenance group. It’s great to finallybe able to provide them with a state-of-the-artprofessional, well-lit and well-heated environ-ment to work in,” said Kevin Hamilton, 559thAircraft Maintenance Squadron (acting) di-rector, who has worked in aviation mainte-nance for over 31 years. “I have worked innumerous aircraft facilities across ourAirForce – this dock is by far the best.”When facilities were first being con-

structed when base operations began in theearly 1940s, Bldg. 125 was one of the firsterected.While its roof has been repaired overthe decades, the entire structure has neverbeen completely replaced.That changed in 2014, 73 years since it

was initially installed.As part of a five-year maintenance and re-

pair roof replacement project, the building’sroof was entirely taken apart at one time andreplaced. Once the entire building project is

The turbofan engines that powerevery C-17 Globemaster III in the AirForce fleet has now transitioned into asustainment phase.The final F117-PW-100 engine, pro-

duced by Pratt & Whitney, is scheduledto be delivered to the Air Force thismonth. It will be the 1,313th engine thecompany has produced for the militaryand through foreign military sales.

Program oversight of those engines,which reaches across the globe throughpartnerships with several nations, ismanaged by the Air Force Life CycleManagement Center’s C-17 ProgramOffice at Robins.“We ensure continued support of

the engine; we ensure it’s overhauledand that parts are available to supportthe field,” said Chuck Keown,Robins C-17 engine program man-ager. “Now that the engines are outof production, we will be responsible

for engine sustainment.” Each of the aircraft’s four engines

generates 40,400 pounds of thrust andweighs over 7,000 pounds. Its thrust re-versers direct airflow upward and for-ward to avoid ingestion of things suchas dust and debris. The engines are tasked to fly a min-

imum of 4,400 N1 cycles – an air-craft’s flight cycles from idle to fullthrust and back. According to Keown,C-17 engines are currently averaging5,700 N1 cycles.

Bennett Croswell, P&W MilitaryEngines president, said, “This is a bit-tersweet occasion for those of us whohave played a part in developing anddelivering the F117 engine to our cus-tomers over the years. The F117 pro-duction engine program might beending, but we look forward to work-ing with our customers around theworld to sustain their engines, and tokeep the C-17 fleet flying for decades

Airmen participation needed for health surveyThe Air Force needs input from airmen on issues

that directly affect the health, well-being and readinessof military members and families by participating in theHealth Related Behaviors Survey.

The 40-minute survey is voluntary for active dutyairmen. Members are asked to complete the question-naire at www.DoD2015HealthSurvey.com. To protect amember’s privacy, any uncompleted surveys will needto start over from the beginning.

What’s up ‘Dock?’

BY JENNY GORDONjenny.gordon.ctr@us.af.mil

YYou could possibly land an aircraft withoutthem, but be prepared for a very bumpy rideahead. Known as the largest airlifter in the

Air Force, a weapon system as massive as a C-5Galaxy poses a commanding presence as it preparesto land on a runway.That landing sequence however can only perform

as smoothly as its landing gears that rest under theaircraft. Prior to that descent, every inch of a C-5’slanding gear is carefully mounted, assembled and

tested at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex. The task falls to the mechanics who work in the

559th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron’s C-5 MainLanding Gear Shop. “This is what the aircraft needs to land – the entire

weight of the aircraft is on these gears,” said DavidHattan, 559th AMXS first line supervisor. “Whenthey leave our shop, they are ready to go.” The shop has a new home now. Its two massive

fixtures have been relocated to a newly-renovatedarea in Dock 2 in Bldg. 125. Assembly began on the

licenses from 5 states banned at DoD basesBY JIM GARAMONE

DOD News, Defense Media Activity

Defense Department installa-tions will no longer accept driver’slicenses from Minnesota, Illinois,Missouri, New Mexico andWashington as proof of identity,DOD officials said.

Federal policyThe ban – which also includes

licenses fromAmerican Samoa – isa consequence of the REAL IDActof 2005.

The REAL IDAct grew out ofthe Sept. 11, 2001 attacks – mostof the terrorists involved had dri-ver’s licenses from Florida andVirginia.Congress tightened up issuance

processes and documentation need-ed to get a driver’s license.Compliant cards must have spe-

cific security features to preventtampering, counterfeiting or dupli-cation. The licenses must also pres-ent data in a common, machine-readable format.

The REAL IDAct affects only

access-control policies where indi-viduals are required to present anidentification document for access-ing federal facilities, entering nuclearpower plants or boarding federallyregulated commercial aircraft.The federal REAL IDAct

implementation rules allow forexceptions. For example, theyexplained life or safety issues suchas medical emergencies and situa-tions in which physical access isnecessary to apply for benefits areexceptions.

Those attempting to gain physi-cal access to DOD installationsmust show an alternate form ofidentification, such as a passport.Service members, family mem-

bers, DOD and federal employeeswith the DOD CommonAccess

Card, DOD uniformed servicesidentification and privileges cards,federal personal identification veri-fication cards or transportationworkers’ identification credentialsare not affected, as those cards areauthorized in DOD policy to facili-tate physical access to installations.All federal agencies including

DOD must comply with the lawregarding the use of REAL IDs forofficial purposes.For most DOD installations, an

identification card or an installationpass is required to facilitate access.Hence, where an ID or an instal-

lation pass is used for physicalaccess, DOD installations are pro-hibited from accepting driver’slicenses or state identification cardsfrom states deemed non-REAL IDcompliant.DOD policy allows commanders

to waive the DOD access controlrequirements for special situations,circumstances or emergencies.Therefore, installations may

authorize other alternatives to facil-itate access, such as a graduationceremony guest list, escorts, etc.

Section 7114, Civil Service ReformAct of1978, provides certain rights to bargaining unitemployees being questioned by managementduring an investigation.These rights are also spelled out inArticle 5,

Section 5.03 of the Master LaborAgreementbetweenAir Force Materiel Command and theAmerican Federation of GovernmentEmployees, Article 16, Section c, of theNonappropriated Funds LaborAgreement, andArticle 7, Section 5, of the Command LaborAgreement betweenAFMC and theInternational Association of Fire Fighters.If a supervisor is questioning an employee

and the employee believes discipline may resultfrom the interview, the employee is entitled tobe represented by the union if specificallyrequested by the employee.The following three ingredients must all be

present for this right to be exercised:� The supervisor or management official

must be asking questions;� The employee must have a reasonable

basis to believe discipline could result;�And, the employee must request union

representation.That doesn’t entitle employees to representa-

tion when normal day-to-day matters are beingdiscussed or questions are not asked.A counseling session to be entered on theAir

Force Form 971, Supervisor’s Employee Brief,and the delivery of a proposed disciplinaryaction would be two examples of instanceswhen the right does not arise.

If you have a question concerning repre-sentation rights under the investigatory inter-view circumstances, please contact your serv-icing Labor Relations specialist or contactthe Labor Relations Office at 1-844-Mgt-Help.

WEINGARTENREPRESENTATION RIGHTS The following information is covered under Article 8.05 (e)

of the Master Labor Agreement between Air Force MaterialCommand and American Federation of GovernmentEmployees. Employees desiring to initiate an authorizationfor dues withholding may obtain an SF 1187 from any AFGEsteward or official. The effective date will be the first full payperiod after receipt of the SF 1187 by the Civilian PaySection.Employees wishing to discontinue their dues withholding

may obtain SF 1188s from the Civilian Pay Section located inBldg. 301, East Wing, Bay F or the Labor Relations Officelocated in Bldg. 215, Room 356. Discontinuance of dues with-holding will be effective as follows:(1) For an employee who began dues withholding allot-

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. –Communication is key. And for the Air Force’s Joint

Surveillance Target Attack Radar System aircraft, its com-munication component is one of four major areas under-going a combined multi-billion dollar recapitalization.

Since JSTARS’s introduction in 1991, Air Forcecommand posts, Army mobile ground stations and manyairborne platforms have come to rely on the informationpassed through the aircraft’s communication system tomake informed decisions on the battlefield.

Leading the charge on the communication system’srevamp is a specialized defense acquisition team basedout of Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass.

“Command and control is an integral part ofJSTARS,” said 1st Lt. George Steele, a program systemsengineer for the JSTARS Recapitalization. “Withouteffective communication systems and equipment, itwould be impossible for JSTARS to perform its intelli-gence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission.”

The current E-8C JSTARS, which is equipped onto aBoeing 707 airframe, conveys real-time targeting infor-mation to allied forces using line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight secure data and voice links – a capabilitythat has evolved from Army and AF programs’ desire to

develop, detect, locate and attack enemy forces beyondthe area of troops.

With the new communications system, “we intend toincorporate both LOS and BLOS data and voice linkssimilar to the legacy aircraft, utilizing ultra-high fre-quency, very ultra-high frequency and high-frequencyencrypted systems,” Steele said.

As far as data is concerned, information will passthrough satellite communication channels and theCommon Data Link, a U.S. military developed protocolused to transfer images and intelligence signals.

In order to acquire these capabilities in a timelymanner, Hanscom program officials will be taking aunique approach by embracing modern, existing tech-nology, which will eliminate the need to develop com-ponents from scratch.

“There have been major technological advances sinceJSTARS was first introduced and deployed to OperationDesert Storm,” Steele said. “By using current andemerging systems, it will allow for increased capabilitywhile reducing size, weight and power to the overall air-craft.”

In addition to using readily available government andcommercial-off-the-shelf products, the JSTARS Recapteam plans to incorporate hardware and software gearedtoward open systems architecture. Meaning, when mod-ifications or upgrades to the communications system areneeded in the future, updates can be made with greater

flexibility and lower cost.“There are many benefits of using a modular open

systems architecture,” said Col. David Learned,JSTARS Recap program manager. “We have to considerhow our investments today will impact the affordabilityand agility of JSTARS Recap throughout its system lifecycle. That's why we are incorporating this type ofarchitecture into many of the JSTARS components, notjust the communications subsystem.”

The JSTARS Recapitalization program recentlypassed from the Materiel Solutions Analysis phase to theTechnology Maturation and Risk Reduction phase, uponan OSD-approved Milestone A decision Dec. 10.

Milestone A will allow the Air Force to exerciseoptions on three existing contracts to further risk reduc-tion efforts. The three separate options have a combinedvalue of $45 million and will provide system functional,preliminary design reviews and subsystem prototypedemonstrations.

According to Steele, the team is working hand-in-hand with industry through a series of face-to-face meet-ings, site visits and Hanscom AFB-hosted “industrydays.”

The JSTARS Recap team is also working with feder-ally-funded research and development centers, Air ForceTest Labs and industry defense contractors to evaluateand ensure the future needs of the JSTARS weapon sys-tem are met.

first fixture in October,with the second movingto its permanent home inmid-December.It’s one of the first

shops to enjoy the bene-fits of the new state-of-the-art maintenancehangar.The move was part of a

transition which began in2014 as a maintenance andrepair roof replacementproject is underway thatwill close the building’sfour docks in various phas-es.The retractable multi-

ple-bogie landing gearsystem on a C-5 is com-posed of separate strutsand bogie assemblies,which feed into tires and

brakes, along with vari-ous wiring, such ashydraulic and electricallines that feed into them.“It’s really an amazing

piece of art,” said JohnHoffman, 559th AMXSaircraft mechanic.His son, an Army

combat engineer, flies onthe C-5 his father workson. “There’s not a job onthis base I’d rather bedoing,” Hoffman said.The landing gear fix-

ture itself can adjust tothe worker, since theplatform moves allowinggears to be broughtstraight inside.Diagnostics and trou-

bleshooting work is great-ly enhanced as a result.The landing gears

arrive at Robins from theOgden Air Logistics

Complex in Utah, wheremechanics there performdepot maintenance oneach assembly.Sometimes they arrive

new or overhauled, and ateam of seven Robinsmechanics build themback up 100 percent forplacement on an aircraft.The landing gear shop

here produces 16 mainlanding gears per year,along with four nosegears.It typically takes about

15 days for the shop tostrip landing gears beforeit’s packed and shippedback to Ogden ALC; onthe build-up side, whichtakes 30 days.The shop’s third test

stand fixture is sched-uled to be moved laterthis year.

completed, it will have affected opera-tions that encompass some 400,000square feet of floor space below it.Dock 2 was the first area to benefit.It was agreed that the end result of

how a hangar should look, feel andoperate is what maintainers, work lead-ers, supervisors, engineering andinspection personnel will appreciatewhen the first aircraft finally arrives inDock 2.“It was fortunate we were able to

begin with a clean slate,” said AndyHuntt with the C-5 Facility EngineeringTeam. “The floor space was wide open.We didn’t operate with the mindset toput it back the way it was. We wantedit better – to make more efficient use ofspace.”“The amount of cooperation to get

this project done is tremendous. Fromproduction folks who will live here, tothe contractors, to plant services, tocivil engineering, it’s been a greatexample of teamwork,” he said.The new laminate, interlocking roof

is layered, with a shape and design thatdampens the sound of the work. In thepast when the mass notification systemwas used, sound would bounce around.The new roof’s insulation qualities alle-viates that. Maintenance work will alsonot sound as loud.“With any echoing, holes in the pan-

els allow sound to get into its specialinsulation,” said Billy Miller with theC-5 Facility Engineering Team. “Thatambient noise goes out and nevercomes back.”Also, the new standing-seam metal

roof will ensure there’ll be no leaks inthe future. Each of its 150-foot panelsinsures this. Even during hot and humidsummer days in Georgia, one of theroof’s unique capabilities is the abilityto expand and contract with the heat.One of the first things a visitor will

notice is how bright the space is. Nonew lights were placed. Instead, whatyou’re seeing is the result of cleaningand a fresh coat of paint on interior

walls; the addition of translucent panelsat the dock’s east wall, bringing in awelcoming glow inside; and a layer ofroof panels that in turn reflect light.A dramatic change was made to the

floor itself, which was resurfaced andrecoated. That floor and the addition ofpaint on the walls had not been part ofthe original plan.Designers and engineers have maxi-

mized the nearly 70,000 square feet ofcurrent space, efficiently using the areato include a dedicated spot for two cur-rent C-5 landing gear fixture teststands, which were first assembled inthe new dock in October. A third fixturewill be relocated later this year.“The focus on efficient use of space

doned cables were removed, as well asutility runs and miscellaneous bracketsand hardware that were no longer beingsupported by equipment not in use foryears. Including Dock 2, each of thebuilding’s other three docks willinclude a dedicated communicationroom, which will house equipment in aclimate-controlled environment.Also in the dock, a two-story modu-

lar office building, which will houseevaluation and inspection personnel, aswell as work leaders and supervisorswho will sit just several feet away fromincoming aircraft.The dock’s fire alarm and fire sup-

pression system was also upgraded.And aircraft wing stands are currentlyin place, with a test fit on a C-5 tenta-tively scheduled for Wednesday.The project’s next phase of renova-

tions will happen in nearby Dock 1.Managed by the Army Corps ofEngineers, the project’s overall cost isover $50 million.

Pine Oaks Lodge has rooms for families, for distin-guished visitors and even for those who have pets. Italso can house civilians.

Called lodging on base and a hotel outside the gates,Pine Oaks has the same standards that a regular hotelwould have as well as Department of Defense standards.Manager Ron Jones explained that his staff goes through

rigorous certifications each year.“It helps raise all of the Air Force Inn’s competency lev-

els,” he said.The busiest time of year for the hotel is between May

and September when families are PCSing to a new base.Many of the rooms are being upgraded this year. The temporary lodging facilities look more like an apart-

ment than an actual hotel. New hardwood floors, furnitureand bedding along with a fresh coat of paint have freshenedthe rooms.New mattresses will be upgraded with covers to prevent

accidents from small children.Pine Oaks employs between 59 and 64 people on its

staff. Most of the housekeeping staff have more than 10years experience working on base.The distinguished visitor suites have been decorated by

an interior decorator and boast a large living room with adining room table and a separate bedroom area. Those 13DV rooms are for E-9 through O-10 ranks and the civilianequivalent.There are two housekeepers dedicated to cleaning those

rooms. Housekeepers have from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to get aroom ready for the next guest.“We find the best of the best,” Jones said.Most of the rooms will get a facelift this spring includ-

ing new carpeting. The old furniture will be sold at a non-appropriated funds sale.Jones said most items don’t get above $50. That helps

young airmen who are just starting out to get quality furni-ture at a fraction of the price.Once the rooms are updated, the usual rate of occupancy

is 87 percent. Yearly, the lodging facility brings in $2.7 mil-lion in revenue before the bills are paid, Jones said.Guests are encouraged to fill out comment cards after

their stay but Jones wants his employees to live by themotto “make it right while they’re still here.”

Next week, the 78th Medical Groupis officially recognizing the crucialwork of the Biomedical Sciences Corpswith BSCAppreciationWeek.Robins BSC members have distin-

guished themselves during the pastyear by being selected byAir ForceMateriel Command as theAir ForceMedical Service Biomedical SpecialistCategory I of the Year. They also gar-nered 44 quarterly and 15 annualsquadron and group-level awards andtwo 78thAir BaseWing-level awards.The unit will use the week to cele-

brate and highlight the diverse medicalcareer fields, clinicians and scientistswithin the medical treatment facility.The BSC’s roots date back to 1917,

when Congress established theArmySanitary Corps to combat infectiousdiseases. TheArmyMedicalAdministrative Corps followed threeyears later. The National SecurityActin 1947 created theArmyMedicalService Corps and two years later, theAir Force had its own medical service.Air Force Special Order CA-5 datedJanuary 28, 1965 created theBiomedical Sciences Corps category.Representing 11 of the 17 BSC

career fields and comprising about 126members to include officers, enlistedand civilians, BSCs are a diverse spe-cialty corps.The specialties represented at

Robins are: aerospace physiology;

audiology; bioenvironmental engineer-ing; clinical psychology; laboratory;optometry; pharmacy; PhysicalTherapy; Physician Assistant; PublicHealth; and Social Worker.

They span three squadrons withinthe 78th Medical Group and acrossbase to the 461st Operations SupportSquadron.“Pretty much any medic that’s not a

nurse, physician, dentist or administra-tor is a BSC,” said Col. ShariSilverman, 78th Medical Group com-mander and fellow BSC. “BSCs are asignificant part of theAir ForceMedical Service and the Robins mis-sion.“Every day BSCs care for more than

47,000 beneficiaries in MiddleGeorgia, ensure the safety of our basefood and water supplies, as well assupport 275 worksites across the instal-lation,” she added.

To celebrate the anniversary andrecognize the contributions of theseoutstanding men and women, the BSCteam will conduct multiple events dur-ing the week.They include: A breakfast; a morale-

building luncheon at the bowling cen-ter; a volunteer opportunity at the baseThrift Store; mentoring sessions withretired Brig. Gen. James Carroll andCol. James Dienst, Air Force ReserveCommand command surgeon; a 5K FunRun; and a cake and ice cream social.

providing the safest and highest quality careto Team Robins. From February through June, the 78th

MDG will experience a severe shortage ofproviders. That shortage may impact yourcare if you are currently assigned to aprovider in the Family Health clinic. To miti-gate staffing shortages, the group has imple-mented several short term actions. Starting Sunday, Family Health will imple-

ment two teams to cover the care of the cur-rent three medical teams. Your care will becovered primarily by one of these two teamsduring this timeframe. This will not impact most members who

visit the clinic. However, non-active dutypatients assigned to Family Health may occa-sionally be directed to Urgent Care for acuteappointments. Additionally, the 78th MDG is temporarily

closing new patient enrollments for retireesand their family members. The group antici-pates reopening full enrollment in June. In theinterim, the medical group is actively workingto expedite hires to overcome staffing short-falls.These temporary measures are the best

way to achieve our goal of continuing to pro-vide safe and quality care. Please note, thisdoes not impact Flight Medicine, Women’sHealth or Pediatrics. For more information, call DSN 497-8475

Newcomers don’t have to go far to learn their wayaround Robins Air Force Base.

The Airman & Family Readiness Center’s RightStart program is an in-depth three-and-a-half hour ori-entation, usually offered every third Wednesday inA&FRC’S Bldg. 794 at 725 Ninth St. The program isdesigned to make the integration into the Robins AirForce Base community as smooth as possible for allnewly arriving Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, andeligible Reserve and Guard service members and theirfamilies.

Wesley Patton, a Community Readiness consultantin the A&FRC, who is the Relocation AssistanceProgram manager at Robins, said first-term airmenand military members who have served four years orless in the military are especially encouraged to attendthe orientation.

“We prefer that newcomers attend this orientationwithin 30 to 60 days of their arrival as they tend to getcaught up in the demands of their work environmentsand other activities, and one of the most importantthings, which is becoming acquainted with the servic-es and programs offered on and off base, can easily goby the wayside,” he said.

Right Start gives newcomers the information theyneed without having to travel around the base.

“Right Start has a lot of moving parts,” Patton said.“We have 20 briefers and over a dozen organizationswhich participate in the information fair portion.During the “Info Fair” portion, attendees move fromone display table to the next, where they gather infor-mation, mugs, pens, pamphlets and other items, andeven learn how to enroll in one of the numerous col-leges and universities nearby, as well as how to estab-lish a bank account at a local bank or credit union.”

Spouses and Defense Department civilians are alsoencouraged to attend Right Start, Patton said.

Due to a scheduling conflict, the February RightStart will be held on Feb. 10, and will revert back toevery third Wednesday beginning in March.

To register for Right Start, eligible people shouldcontact their units’ Individual Newcomer Treatmentand Orientation Program manager, or the BaseINTRO manager to make an appointment to attend amonthly orientation.

B4 ��The Robins Rev-Up ��January 22, 2016

We are a few weeks into the new year andmany people who set out with the best ofintentions to make healthy changes are begin-

ning to feel the struggle. Let’s look at how to succeed.

Why do resolutions fail?Have you ever wondered why people set New Year’s

resolutions only to struggle and often fail at sustainingtheir change? Perhaps you have aspired to do somethingmore or do something less, but found that life inevitablygot in the way. Resolutions typically fit in one of fourcategories: self-improvement and education, health/fit-ness/weight, finance, and relationships. According to sta-tisticbrain.com, only 8 percent of people are successfulin achieving their resolution. However, that doesn’t tellthe whole story. In fact, 75 percent maintained their reso-lution through the first week. After one month the num-ber is 64 percent and at six months only 46 percent havemaintained their resolution. So what actually happensover time to cause the number to continue to drop?

Motivation is a currency.It takes extra work to change an established behavior

or to establish a new behavior. This work can be madeeasier with motivation that can be used to boost self-con-trol, discipline or your current priorities for makingchoices. This motivation is a currency, which we expendto make the choices that feel less natural (such as noteating a donut when you would normally). Withoutreplenishing our motivation, we lose the drive to goagainst habits, cravings or peer pressures. The goodnews is we can replenish motivation with successes oreven outside encouragement.

Ways to increase your chances of success.Tell someone. People who explicitly make resolutions

are more likely to attain their goals than people whodon’t. Building in a little accountability can go a longway.

Be S.M.A.R.T. SMART goals are Specific,Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time Oriented. It’shard to meet your goal if you don’t know the specifics ofwho/what/where/how, can’t measure it, can’t attain it ordon’t know the timeframe.

Reward yourself. Celebrating the small victories helpsreplenish motivation as you work towards making a

change.Have a plan. Plan ahead for the times that will be the

most difficult for you to resist urges, cravings, or evenpeer pressure. Planning for this at a time when you arenot influenced by those things and motivation is higherwill make it less of a choice later.

Lapses are not relapses. The first time you show abreak in your desired behavior change, don’t pull theplug on your efforts. Think about all of the progress youhave made, learn from the experience, and recognizewhere your plan did not work so you can plan for thenext situation.

Still not sure where to start?If your attempts to improve some aspect of your life

have been unsuccessful even with the above strategies,don’t give up. There are professionals available to helpmake your changes stick. For more information call the Health and Wellness

Center at 478-327-8480, Behavioral HealthOptimization Program at 478-327-7850, or the MentalHealth Clinic at 478-327-8398.
