The 6th Medical Group laboratory recentlyachieved their civilian accreditation by passinga no-notice inspection by the College of AmericanPathologists.

Master Sgt. Kelly Adler, the 6th MDG labo-ratory flight chief explained, by passing this in-spection and receiving the civilian accreditation,the group demonstrated the ability to turn outaccurate, reliable results comparable to its civil-ian peers and even surpassed the standards ofthe CAP.

The CAP inspection includes a checklist of4,000 items and a no-notice, on-site review of themedical processes to verify how the medical clin-ic is performing.

The inspection varies from base to base, andincludes individual requirements for testing,training requirements before reporting patientresults, laboratory safety, control tests and criti-cal value procedures.

Failing the inspection can result in the labora-tory being shut down due to not being licensed,which would affect the entire community in anegative way.

“This is not an inspection that we can preparefor,” said Staff Sgt. Edward Thompson Jr., the 6thMDG NCO in charge of hematology and urinaly-sis. “Passing such strict accreditation standardsreaffirms our overall teamwork and attention todetail.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (AFNS)—For the first time, two teams tied as win-ners of the Spark Tank 2020 competition at the Air Force Association’sAir Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Feb. 28.

The winning ideas were the Low Cost Threat Emitter Replication sub-mitted by 1st Lt. Daniel A. Treece, assigned to Luke Air Force Base, Arizo-na, and the Weapons Loading Smart Checklist submitted by Chief MasterSgt. Gabriel L. Flagg, Master Sgt. Gabrial A. Valenzuela and Tech. Sgt.Benjamin E. Angley, assigned to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany.

Spark Tank, which began in 2017, is an annual competition in whichAirmen are encouraged to submit their innovative ideas to improve AirForce processes and products. The program is part of the Air Force’s effortto build and further its culture of innovation and intrepreneurship. Air-men submit their ideas through the Ideascale website, and finalists arechosen to present their ideas to Air Force senior leaders at the Air War-fare Symposium. The finalists compete for the funding, personnel or othernecessary resources to implement their ideas.

Each team had three minutes to present their ideas to the judgingpanel, which included Secretary of the Air Force Barbara M. Barrett, AirForce Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein, Chief Master Sergeant of the

The 6th Medical Group provides support tomore than 500,000 retirees within 100 milesof MacDill Air Force Base, but those benefitsaren’t always known. MacDill hosted RetireeAppreciation Day, Feb. 22, at the 6th MDG, as away to show support for retirees and their fami-lies in the area.

“Holding these events are important,” saidChristopher D. Pecenka, the Tricare contractliaison at the 6th Medical Support Squadron.“This event is a great way for the retirees inthe community to come in and get up to date onsome of the things that are going on with theirhealth care.”

Retirees who attended the event were pro-vided with information, free gifts and clinic up-dates from multiple sections – including dental,dermatology, referral management and manymore. The 6th MDG supports patrons from allover the South Florida region, and an eventsuch as this helps bridge the gap between retir-ees and the medical services provided for them.

The event opens up the opportunity for retir-ees to learn where the clinic is, and helps informthe public of what resources are available and

The Air Force approved criteria Feb. 24 to as-sess states’ policies for accepting professional,career licenses and a community’s public educa-tion system support of military children as partof its strategic basing process.

The addition of these criteria aims to ensurelocations under consideration have sufficientsupport for the unique needs of military fami-lies who relocate frequently.

“The communities where service memberslive and work impact readiness, retention andthe satisfaction of families,” said Secretary ofthe Air Force Barbara M. Barrett. “Future bas-ing decisions made with a consistent frameworkwill ensure optimal conditions for service mem-

bers and their families.”Military members report that local public ed-

ucation aspects and support for their childrenand the ability of their spouses to sustain ca-reers move after move influence their decisionsto remain on active duty.

To address these concerns, the Air Force col-laborated with policy professionals and subjectmatter experts to develop two types of analyticframeworks. The public education frameworkwill evaluate public school districts’ educationalaspects and ability to support transferring mili-tary children in prekindergarten through 12thgrade near Air Force installations.

The licensure portability framework will beused to assess state laws, governors’ executiveorders, state Supreme Court or bar association

rules and the ability for an area to accommodatelicenses earned from other locations.

While mission requirements remain the top pri-ority for where a mission is based, the Air Forcehas developed a process to include the supportmilitary families. The methodology for these cri-teria will be used for future basing decisions asthe Air Force continues to collaborate with policyprofessionals and subject matter experts.

“We know improving schools and changinglicensure regulations take time, but efforts tomeet the unique needs of military families arevital,” Barrett said. “States that have improvedservices for military families should be com-mended and emulated.”

The criteria will be incorporated into the bas-ing process in the spring.

FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash.—An all African-American KC-135 crew from

Fairchild Air Force Base undertook a mission torefuel historic Red Tail Squadron F-16 FightingFalcons from the 187th Fighter Wing, MaxwellAir Force Base, Alabama, Feb. 18, in honor ofBlack History Month.

The flight took place to represent black mili-tary heritage and provide tribute to the WWIITuskegee Airmen, who played a significant war-time role and paved the way for minority repre-sentation in today’s Air Force.

“I thought about how [Team Fairchild] shoulddo something in regards to aviation and blackhistory month,” said Capt. Jazmind Roberts,93rd Air Refueling Squadron pilot. “I wanted todo something inspired by the Tuskegee Airmen,something that represents our heritage. We’vemade it from being enslaved to gaining civilrights; look how far we have come now.”Roberts

Four turbofans, mounted under 35-degree sweptwings, power a MacDill KC-135 Stratotanker air-craft to takeoff in support of aerial refueling train-

ing for the U.S. Air Force’s next generation of Airmen.Fourteen Mobility Airmen from the 6th Operations

Group and 6th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron pro-vided aerial refueling support to F-16 Fighting Falconaircraft from the 182nd Fighter Squadron, Kelly Field,Texas, Jan. 27-31.

“We flew one KC-135R, call sign DREW211, to Kel-ly Field for a week-long training and operations sup-port for the 182nd Fighter Squadron,” said Capt. CraigWojtkiewicz, mission commander pilot from the 6thOG. “The crew consisted of two instructor pilots, onecopilot, two aircraft commander upgrade students, twoinstructor boom operators and four mission certifica-tion training boom operators.”

The 182nd Fighter Squadron is an Air NationalGuard unit that belongs to the 149th Fighter Wing.The unit traces back to 1943 when the 396th FighterSquadron was activated during World War II.

Today, the 182nd develops and trains the next gen-eration of F-16C fighter pilots, both active, guard andreserve. One facet of training is learning how to in-airrefuel from the various tanker aircraft.

“Each day, we would plan our mission, brief andlaunch our KC-135 for a five to six hour-long sortie,”added Wojtkiewicz. “We would meet the first wave ofF-16s in the air refueling track and refuel each F-16fighter aircraft piloted by student and instructor pilots.”

After completing the first wave of refueling, theStratotanker returned to Kelly Field and for two-hours,the crew of DREW211 practiced aircraft landings, alsoknown as, “touch-and-go’s” for their own training andproficiency.

“During this time, we would also practice emergencyprocedures including manually extending the aircraft’slanding gear and wing flaps—important procedureswhich are critical training items for the younger boomoperators,” Wojtkiewicz said.

Once the appropriate time came, the KC-135 woulddepart Kelly Field again and return to the air refuel-ing track where a second wave of F-16s would arrive topractice aerial refueling during nighttime conditions.

“We refueled six to eight fighters during the dayand six to eight at night,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Jor-dan, an instructor boom operator from the 6th OG. “Wewere able to maximize our training, completing tasks50 percent faster than we normally do.”

After refueling the second wave of F-16s, the KC-135would land at Kelly Field and debrief the day’s sortiewith the crew and plan for the next day of flying op-erations. Three aircraft maintenance Airmen from the6th AMXS were part of crew DREW211 to repair anydeficiencies with the aircraft and prepare it for eachday’s sortie.

“As flying crew chiefs, we inspect the aircraft andprovide maintenance support while it’s on the road,”said Tech. Sgt. Patrick Balu, a flying crew chief fromthe 6th AMXS. “Sometimes, we have minor issueswith the aircraft and when these systems go bad, wefix them by referencing our technical orders or callingback to home station and following through.”

Working closely with the instructor pilots of the182nd FS, DREW211 supported the completion ofaerial refueling training for 18 F-16 students and therequalification of 15 F-16 instructor pilots.

“We were also able to accomplish fighter air refu-eling qualifications for our four mission certificationtraining boom operators and qualify one of our aircraftcommander upgrade candidates for his check ride,”said Wojtkiewicz. “During normal operations, thisamount of training would take up to two months to ac-complish.”

Before departing Kelly Field to return to MacDillAFB, the crew invited eleven students from the CareerEnlisted Aviator Center of Excellence at Joint BaseSan Antonio-Lackland to tour the KC-135 aircraft.These Airmen graduated the Enlisted Aircrew Under-graduate Course and begun their Basic Boom OperatorCourse where they will soon be flying on KC-135s asboom operators.

“We were able to mentor these students, answertheir questions and impress upon them the responsi-bilities they would soon hold as boom operators andgenerally grow their excitement for the jobs they wereabout to learn,” added Wojtkiewicz. “The inspiration itinstilled in them clearly showed as all eleven studentspassed their final test the following week with flyingcolors.”

The KC-135 Stratotanker provides the core aerialrefueling capability for the U.S. Air Force and has ex-celled in this role for more than 60 years. This uniqueasset enhances the Air Force’s capability to accomplishits primary mission of global reach.

“The crew of DREW211 demonstrated how muchtraining can be accomplished with a determined tank-er crew and instructor force,” said Lt. Col. Jeffrey Os-good, 6th OG chief of training. “The 6th OG trainingsection remains ready for the next opportunity to trainthe next generation of pilots and Airmen!”

Using the microscope, Thompson looks at red bloodcells, white blood cells, and platelets checking for abnormalities, which allows him to determine if a patient has adisease such as Malaria or Lukemia.

Along with the civilian ac-creditation being an importantfactor to proving the laborato-ry’s reliability, it also shows howmuch teamwork is required toprovide support for the mission.

“The College of American Pa-thologists is the world’s largestassociation composed of certi-fied pathologists leading in lab-oratory quality assurance,” saidThompson. “Being 100 percentcompliant requires everyone todo their part every day to pro-vide outstanding care to our pa-tient population at MacDill.”

Whether it be on or off base,the MacDill clinic strives toprovide the best care to all of itspatrons.

used this flight to show everyone it’s possible to achieve greatness andmaintain your culture while serving as a U.S. Armed Forces member.

“Fairchild’s a super-tanker base but we don’t have much [African-American] representation here right now,” Roberts said. “I am theonly black female pilot. This flight is to show we also have represen-tation on [the KC-135]. We’re always with other people and never getthe chance to be in a crew where everyone has the same culture andbond.”

The Fairchild crew attended an event hosted by the Red Tail Squad-ron to meet the pilots of the aircraft they had earlier refueled.

The famous Tuskegee Airmen helped lead the way for black Air-men by proving themselves as equal, with more than 1,500 combatmissions. They were bestowed with hundreds of decorations for out-standing achievements during WWII. In a time where the capabilityof black Airmen was viewed with skepticism, the Tuskegee Airmensucceeded in exceeding all expectations.

“The amazing thing about the Red Tails was in that time, fighterpilots only cared about their kill; they would lose bombers all thetime,” said Tech. Sgt. Jonathon Rogers, 93rd Air Refueling Squadronboom operator. “The Red Tail squadron came with a different mental-ity, a mentality [many people] didn’t think black people were capableof. It wasn’t about them or their numbers, it was about escorting theirbombers where they needed to go without casualties.”

The Air Force and Team Fairchild believe black history and diver-sity of the force makes everyone faster, better and stronger. TeamFairchild aircrew members honored these values while showcasing allAirmen serve a higher cause, no matter their race, gender, beliefs orbackground.

“I am so energized by the creativity you bring,”Roper said. “I truly believe innovation is a bat-tlefield and you guys are winning it. You crushedit today.”

Though only six finalists were chosen to pres-ent their ideas at Spark Tank, more than 200ideas were submitted. Major commands hostcompetitions throughout the year for those ideasthat aren’t chosen but may still be appropriatefor development.
