Commentary by Lt. Col. Trent Tuthill50th Mission Support Group deputy commander

We make decisions every day. We are free to make those decisions because of the many personal sacrifices made through the years to keep our great nation free. However, we are not free to choose the consequences of those decisions. I listen to audio books for about two hours a day while driving and, recently, I listened to a handful of books about some very successful people. The definition of suc-cess has many variations, but that is not the topic of this article. Every person has a unique background and methods of reaching success, but there are some common trends, ideas or methods each individual uses throughout their life. There are multiple common denomi-nators in the recent audio books I’ve listened to, but three specific areas stood out to me: attitude, never giving up and gut instinct. Due to the freedoms we enjoy in the great nation we live in, we can have a significant influence in each area and one could argue we virtually have complete control over all three areas.

Richard Branson, an English investor, stated, “My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’” Every morning we wake up, we have a choice to make regarding attitude. Will we have a positive outlook, encourage others, smile when we arrive at work, uplift those around us, or will we exhibit opposite char-

acteristics? To be successful we must have a positive attitude. Yes, there are days when it is easy to be cynical and see the negative in any situation, but only negative results will come from those thoughts, which can quickly turn into actions. When, not if, we have challenges, we must face them head on, with a positive attitude. Napoleon Hill, a personal-success

author, stated, “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” We must take our challenges and turn them into opportunities. With a positive attitude, the likelihood of suc-cess increases tenfold and we will personally benefit, as will those around us.

Jerel Hill, an author, in Never Give Up on Your Dreams stated, “Never settle for less than what you imagined possible for yourself.” A common trait successful people display is never giving up. The individuals who come up with or have come up with some of the world’s greatest inventions also have many failures. Those individuals never gave up. Thomas Edison failed more than 10,000 times before he successfully designed the light bulb. Many people use a smart phone today and/or have some kind of Apple product. Apple has produced many successful products, but do a quick internet search and you will find out there are many failures too. The key ingredient is never give up, never quit. Napoleon Hill, stated “A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.” Members of the greatest Air Force in the world are all winners and we will never give up. Keep pressing forward and learn from our failures. Apply the lessons learned from a failure and tackle the next challenge head on. When the challenges come and times are tough, never give up.

It was only fitting that Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. Kent Leonard would assume the com-mand of his first Reserve squadron he joined after leaving active duty from the Regular Air Force. For Leonard, it was a bit like coming home Saturday as he assumed the position of the 7th Space Operations Squadron com-mander here.

In traditional military fashion, Leonard received the squadron’s guidon from Lt. Col. Michael Assid, acting 310th Operations Group commander, during the ceremony at Bldg. 300’s auditorium, kicking off his tenure as the new commander. After being presented with the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, Leonard took to the podium to address 7 SOPS Airmen.

“7 SOPS has embodied innovation in space operations, with the men and women of the

squadron always maintaining a warfighter focus,” said Leonard, a native of Kingsport, Tenn. “There will always be challenges for the squadron, but I know the men and women of 7 SOPS will be ready like they have shown many times in the past. We will continue to lead the way, regardless of the squadron’s mission.”

Leonard assumed command of the squad-ron in late January after the earlier departure of Lt. Col. William Fellows, who became part of the 310th Space Wing staff to lead the commander’s action group in late August. Before taking his current position, Fellows served in 7 SOPS for just under 10 years.

Leonard highlighted his desire to ensure squadron members had access to professional development opportunities, while also prais-ing the unit’s “outside the box” thinking sup-porting operations and training.

“My aim is to develop members of 7 SOPS

to not only be the future squadron, group and wing leadership, but also be the next Air Force Reserve leaders,” he said. “We’ve also been challenging the way the AF Reserve participates in missions. Members schedule their drill weekends throughout the month to meet operational needs while maintaining readiness. This is a perfect example of how we lead the way in ensuring our members can maintain their work-life balance while supporting satellite operations.”

Assid said Leonard was “a leader who cares about his mission, cares about his people and wants to make a difference.”

“He will lead this squadron to many great things,” Assid said. “This is the right guy, this is the right time, and this is absolutely the right organization. When you join a squad-ron and put that patch on, you put your name on a roster. And depending on the organiza-tion, there could be hundreds, thousands,

or tens of thousands of names before you. The burden falls to you, whether you are a two-striper performing operations, a flight commander, or a squadron commander, to live up to that squadron’s heritage and add to its legacy.”

Assid also highlighted what the end re-sult of 7 SOPS intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission was for those present. With the squadron operating the Operationally Responsive Space Satellite-1, providing support to combatant command-ers in the Southwest Asia and Pacific theater of operations, Assid pointed out who benefit-ted from their mission in the end.

“At the distant end of everything we do in the space business, don’t forget there’s a 19-year-old with an M-4 in a foxhole who wants to do his job, guard this nation and return safely home to his family. 7 SOPS contributes to that every day.”

The Schriever Mental Health Clinic offers a monthly sleep enhancement class in an effort to provide Schriever Airmen information about ways to improve sleeping habits.

“During the class, we oftentimes have people identify what their sleep problem is upfront,” said Capt. Jordan Simonson, 21st Medical Squadron Mental Health Services chief. “We talk about sleeping topics, such as what is insomnia, myths or common misconceptions about sleep and tips on sleeping.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep problems.

“Sleep is tied to a number of performance indicators,” Simonson said. “When people don’t have adequate sleep, they tend to work less sharp, their work performance and interpersonal functioning could go down. Sleep is one of those daily functions that if impaired, can have a number of consequences.”

Studies show sleep deprivation may be associated with injuries, chronic diseases, mental illnesses, poor quality of life and well-being, increased health care costs, and lost work productivity. Sleep problems are critically under-addressed

contributors to some chronic conditions, including obesity and depression.

One of the most common sleep disorders is insomnia, characterized by an inability to initiate or maintain sleep.

“Insomnia is the perception of inadequate or non-restor-ative sleep,” Simonson said. “If people feel that they are not sleeping well that lasts for a period of a month or more and it is not due to some other medical cause, then they typically meet the criteria for insomnia.”

During the class, Simonson also discusses the most com-mon sleep myths.

“One of the biggest myths is that people need eight hours of sleep,” he said. “People’s sleep needs vary quite a bit, any-where from three to 10 hours a night.”

Most individuals also think sleep is constant throughout their lifetimes.

“In fact, our sleeping habits change quite a bit as we age,” Simonson said.

The third common myth is if individuals are having sleep problems or difficulty falling asleep, they should stay in bed and try to sleep harder.

“Some people do all sort of things; they’ll try to count sheep or move to different positions,” Simonson said. “If

you are spending a lot of time awake in bed, it’s not a good thing. What you can do is get up and do something that is non-stimulating, i.e. boring, until you feel sleepy, and then go back to bed.”

Consistency is key, he said.“Maintaining a regular wake and bed time is really im-

portant in developing a sleep routine,” Simonson suggested. “Also, do not do anything besides sleeping in bed. Don’t watch TV or read while in bed. Those types of things tend to interfere with the association you have between the bed and sleep.”

For shift workers, Simonson recommended ways to help them get into a good sleeping routine.

“They should focus on the other aspects of sleep hygiene to make sure their sleep environment is free from distrac-tions, and as quiet and dark as possible,” he said. “Although, shiftwork may continue to be a difficulty, what we can do is improve the quality of sleep they do get.”

For more information about the class, to sign up or for other sleep-related issues, please call the Mental Health Clinic at 567-4619.

Chief’s CornerHands-on leadership

By Chief Master Sgt. Robert Marquez50th Space Wing

On a cold, clear Nebraska morning many moons ago, my first supervisor knocked at my Offutt Air Force Base dorm room and introduced herself, “Airman 1st Class Marquez, my name is Staff Sgt. Marion McBride. I am your supervisor and I’m here to get you where you need to be.”

Before we started the drive to the Elkhorn transmit-ter site, she had me show her all the documents the orderly room would need to process me in. I remember her saying later that morning, “I’m here to make sure you don’t forget anything. Do what I tell you, when I tell you and if you don’t keep me informed, you’re going to wish you had.”

McBride slipped no punches. She was completely committed to the Air Force and demanded I give my best. She warned me I would always be subject to duty and if I didn’t live by the rules and standards, I wouldn’t be retained in the Air Force. McBride made sure I volunteered to pull extra duty when required, take on additional duty programs and help out in the local community representing the unit.

McBride practiced hands-on leadership. She kicked me in the caboose when she found me lacking, praised me when I deserved it and constantly coached me how to improve.

The bottom line was she was not about to let me fail. Now a career later, it is McBride who I thank for engaging me early, growing me right and getting me where I needed to be.

Capt. Jordan Simonson, 21st Medical Squadron Mental Health Services chief, of-ficially assumed management of the base’s suicide prevention program recently.

Though the transition occurred seamlessly, Simonson said taking management of the full program will benefit Team Schriever because it allows the Schriever Mental Health Clinic to tailor a program specifically for the base.

“We’ll continue to provide aspects of the program to the base populace as well as add some new facets in the future,” Simonson said. “Suicide prevention is an important issue to the Air Force.”

The Air Force has undertaken several ini-tiatives to improve resilience, encourage help-

seeking, pinpoint self destructive behaviors and involve leadership in suicide prevention.

“Any service member who permanently changes station to Schriever will receive a suicide prevention briefing from us,” said Charrity Mattingly, Schriever mental health technician. “We also provide a lengthy preven-tion briefing at the First Term Airman Center. And we routinely conduct training for unit training managers and front line supervisors.”

Mattingly said the suicide prevention pro-gram covers 11 initiatives, from leadership involvement to education, training, com-munity awareness and analysis of potential risk factors.

“We try to make the training as interactive as possible,” Simonson said.

Mattingly and Simonson often talk about

dos and don’ts for people who may encounter a friend, teammate or family member who seems to be in distress.

“When dealing with a person in distress don’t offer advice, don’t leave the person alone, don’t debate or act shocked and don’t add your own perspective to the situ-ation,” Simonson said. “Instead, listen and empathize. Be honest, caring and express a concern for their safety. Oftentimes, ex-pressing a concern for safety will be your foot-in-the-door approach to getting them help at one of our helping agencies, such as the mental health clinic, the Schriever Airman and Family Readiness Center or the chaplain’s office.”

Simonson said the Schriever Mental Health Clinic staff will work closely with the base’s

Community Action Information Board and Integrated Delivery System to make sure the suicide prevention program is implemented on a community level.

“We’re excited to take control of the pro-gram,” Simonson said. “We’ll be able to add value and put our own spin on the program. We can adapt to the needs of the base and the people here and hopefully, make it more relevant and personable.”

Unit members who would like to sched-ule a suicide prevention briefing can contact Schriever Mental Health Clinic.

Anyone under distress or seeking to help a friend, family or team member under distress can call the Schriever Mental Health Clinic at 567-4619 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — The 2014 senior master sergeant promotion selection release slated for today has been rescheduled for March 20, Air Force Personnel Center officials announced.

“Air staff distributes promotion quotas based on fiscal and statutory constraints, and projected grade vacancies,” said Col. Joe Atkins, the AFPC operations division chief. “We are working carefully to make final adjustments associated with fiscal year 2015 to ensure we have the correct promotions to meet projected Air Force

senior noncommissioned officer requirements.”The promotion release procedures will remain the same. Public release will occur

at 8 a.m. Central Standard Time and individual score notices will be available at the same time on the Air Force secure site (accessible via myPers).

Additionally, this change will not delay the pin-on dates for any Airman se-lected for senior master sergeant. The first month of promotion increments will be April 2014.

Successful people are often in posi-tions where they make decisions. We all make decisions every day, some without any real thought and some with in-depth analysis and an excruciating amount of thought. There is no real right or wrong way when it comes to making decisions. The fact is, decisions need to be made.

As decisions are made by leaders at all levels, there is often a certain amount of data collection and analysis completed prior to a decision point. Data collection and analysis is important. However, suc-cessful people are also required to make decisions, solely or partially, based upon their “gut instinct”. It is hard to define or put “gut instinct” into a category, but successful people often make a decision based upon this instinct. Most books on leadership describe the art and sci-ence of decision making. The science involves data driven decisions, which

are absolutely needed and required to be successful, individually or as a large organization. However, the art of deci-sion making involves the “gut instinct”. One of Richard Branson’s sayings and a title of one book is “Screw it, let’s do it”, which is a philosophy he often uses when making decisions. Sometimes the data, analysis and recommendations from his inner circle of confidants make a spe-cific recommendation, but he goes with his “gut instinct”, which is sometimes contrary to advice. As we go about the endless decisions we make each day,

don’t forget the importance of the “gut instinct.”

All members of the greatest Air Force in the world are successful individuals. I encourage all of us to continually evaluate our attitude and desires. Napoleon Hill stated, “The starting point of all achieve-ment is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.” Go forth with a positive attitude, never give up on your dreams or desires and don’t be afraid to make a decision on gut instinct alone.

Anyone who has taken out their office trash recently may have noticed their dumpsters sporting a new look.

The 50th Civil Engineer Squadron Environmental office recently added recycling dumpsters at Buildings 15, 101,120, 406, 500, 620, 700 and 815.

“The new recycling dumpsters should help us improve our recycling diversion rate,” said Doug Chase, 50th Space Wing recycling program manager. “For fiscal 2013, 48 percent of our municipal solid waste was recycled. The Air Force has set a goal for every base to recycle 55 percent of its solid waste by 2015. We’re getting close, but we still have some room to improve.”

Following his last quarterly dumpster assessment, Chase devised a plan to move recycling dumpsters from some areas to places or buildings where they were needed.

“During his assessments, Doug will pull materials out of

refuse dumpsters and calculate the percentage of recyclable material contained therein,” said Meghan Lloyd, 50 CES environmental support specialist. “In essence, each build-ing gets a recycling report card. We used that to determine where best to use our existing recycling dumpsters.”

For example, Building 720 has a recycling compactor, so Chase removed five of its recycling dumpsters for use at other buildings around base. Likewise, he moved three dumpsters from Building 440 for use in other areas.

“Our goal is to have zero percent recyclable material going to the landfill,” said Lloyd, who has assumed responsibility for the program’s outreach and awareness campaign.

Chase explained that he has been finding a lot of card-board in the refuse dumpsters, as well as plastic bottles, cans and No. 6 plastic clamshell containers, all of which can be recycled. The environmental office reminds people that Schriever’s dining facilities use No. 6 plastic clamshells and that a simple scraping of food will suffice before depositing

them in recycling bins.Lloyd is producing signs and posters to increase recycling

awareness around the base. The new posters will show build-ing recycling dumpster locations as well as collection points for scrap metal, toner cartridge and electronics.

Schriever’s waste management contractor will also slowly switch out recycling dumpsters with new ones that carry yellow lids to help people better distinguish between recycle and refuse dumpsters.

While the look of recycling on base is changing, Chase and Lloyd hope recycling awareness continues to gain traction.

They lead the Schriever recycling working group, which meets quarterly. The group allows representatives from each building to discuss specific recycling concerns and issues while creating a forum for improving recycling on base.

For more information about recycling or to join the recy-cling working group, contact Lloyd at 567-3910.

By Staff Sgt. Julius Delos Reyes50th Space Wing Public Affairs

At 11:10 p.m. Feb. 20, Senior Airman Corey Best was head-ing home from a swing shift. He noticed several missed calls and a voicemail message.

“This is an emergency, call me back as soon as possible,” the message said. It was a friend who lives in his apartment complex. The 50th Operations Support Squadron GPS in-structor became nervous; he called back and asked what happened.

“Your apartment was on fire,” Best’s friend said.At approximately 5 p.m. that day, a fire broke out at his

Colorado Springs, Colo., apartment complex in According to the fire marshal, eight to 10 residents were displaced, and Best was one of them. The investigation confirmed a resident left food on the stove, which burned out of control. Upon hearing the news, Best began freaking out.

“Oh man, this is not happening,” he thought. He contin-ued to drive and told himself to avoid speeding and relax; speeding was not going to help the situation if his stuff was already on fire. Instead, he prayed the whole way.

When he got to his apartment, he saw fire department trucks, firefighters and police. He tried to get information and get in position to see his apartment. However, a police officer told him they couldnt let him in and that he needed to find a place to stay for the night.

“That’s when it really hit me. What do I do?” Best said. With no place to stay and no change of clothes, he needed to find an option.

Fortunately, Best’s friend, Senior Airman Cody Boyer, 2nd

Space Operations Squadron, offered his home for the night. The following morning, Best went to work and informed his supervisor and leadership about what happened.

“The squadron was on it,” he said. “Everybody was really supportive.”

Staff Sgt. Victor Guadalupe, Best supervisor, informed his leadership, including Master Sgt. Mark Catania, 50 OSS flight chief for current operations and additional-duty first sergeant.

“Keeping in constant communication with him in the morning that day was huge,” Catania said.

The squadron gave Best time to sort out his situation as well as reassured him that 50 OSS will support him.

“When he got here, we did our due diligence of taking care of him,” Catania said. “We told him to make sure to let us know whatever he needed and we would help him out.”

The Airman and Family Readiness Center arranged for Best to receive a loan through the Air Force Aid Society’s Falcon Loan program to help offset the deductible he needed to pay for his renters’ insurance.

“Fortunately he has insurance,” Catania said. “His pos-sessions are well covered.”

Representatives from his insurance company brought his property, such as clothes and furniture, to a warehouse to go through and identify what can be recovered as well as take the smoke damage out. The insurance company also put Best at a hotel for the next three weeks so he can find a new living arrangement.

“Being prepared is No. 1 because you never know,” Catania said. “Having insurance is really important to help ease if you ever get into such an event.”

Being prepared helped Best. He saw how in the last two years, the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest fires affected thousands of people.

“When I saw how intense the forest fires were, I decided I am definitely getting renters’ insurance. And lo and be-hold,” said Best.

He said the $17 he spent every month is definitely worth it.“I spend $17 on stupid stuff,” Best said. “My insurance

protects my stuff, so why not? It was definitely one of the best decisions I’ve made.”

Catania said the squadron providing help is a great il-lustration of the Wingman concept.

“This is just us coming together and supporting our people in their time of need,” he said. “It’s just being good Airmen.”

Lt. Col. Jack Fulmer, 50 OSS commander, commended the whole squadron who aided their fellow Airman.

“We are very proud of the entire squadron for helping Airman Best, making sure he is taken care of both from a financial standpoint as well as his whole wellbeing,” Fulmer said. “This is a testament to the great leaders we have in the squadron.”

For Best, he was thankful for all the support he received.“They’ve always been there for me,” he said. “I can’t stress

enough how amazing it is to work at OSS and just have them in my corner. It has been a relief. I learned to be optimistic because at the end of the day, there’s nothing else you can do. You can sit around and cry about it, or do something about it. I am just looking at the best route to keep moving forward, and having a great squadron behind me makes it a lot easier.”

Commentary by Col. Michael Burke

21st Medical Group commander

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — During the course of my career, I have seen numerous changes made to our health benefits. The most sweeping of such was made in the mid-1990s when TRICARE was introduced to replace the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services better known as CHAMPUS. Essentially, TRICARE is the Department of Defense health plan in which man-aged care contractors have been selected to manage the health needs of DOD beneficiaries residing in identified regions (i.e., the continental United States is divided into three regions with three contractors). Colorado is located in the TRICARE West region and our TRICARE contractor is UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans.

Those of you who were DOD patients during the transition to TRICARE probably remember what a big change it was. Let’s face it, like all changes it was challenging, confusing and even frustrating for some...but looking back, it was well worth it. Since then, TRICARE has become one of the most robust, if not the most robust health plan in the United States and most of the initial challenges with the transition

have been addressed.Since the inception of TRICARE, military treatment facili-

ties have had walk-in service windows known as TRICARE Service Centers. These offices were originally opened to help our patients through the transition to TRICARE. TSCs are the place many of you visit when you have questions about referrals/authorizations, enrollments, plan coverages, bills or to make payments relative to your health cover-age. Unfortunately, TSCs have become much more costly as compared to other available means (i.e., telephone and Internet) of communicating with our TRICARE contractors.

As such, TSC walk-in customer service at 189 military treatment facilities in the continental United States will no longer be provided effective April 1.

This change will not affect health care delivery or TRICARE benefits.

With the closure of the TSCs, patients will contact TRICARE through toll-free calls and the Internet. Although this is a significant change from what we’ve all grown accus-tomed to with TRICARE, it mirrors how commercial health plans take care of their patients — few, if any, offer walk-in service centers. This change will further save the Defense Health Program an estimated $250 million over five years.

As with any change of this magnitude, I anticipated there will be challenges. Our 21st Medical Group staff is working closely with UHC M&V to make this ‘giant leap’ to elec-tronic communications as easy as possible for our patients. Gone are the days of having to stand in line at the TSC to complete routine tasks or get information. Our patients will now have convenient assistance through a toll-free call or through the web.

Telephone Assistance: for enrollment, referral/authori-zation, billing issues and other general questions, patients should contact UHC M&V at 1-877-988-WEST (9378) or go to www.uhcmilitarywest.com.

Internet Services: The new “I Want To...” feature at www.tricare.mil will take you quickly to the right site to check claims, change your PCM, find a doctor, compare plans (Prime, Standard, Extra), view referrals/authorizations and much more. Please give it a try today.

Together, we’ll get through this change in the way we access information about our health plan and enjoy time saved through a simple call to our contractor, UHC M&V, or a visit to the TRICARE Web site.

I thank our patients for entrusting the 21st Medical Group with your health care needs — it’s a true privilege to serve you.

Base Briefs

By Debbie GildeaAir Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Commanders and senior raters of enlisted Airmen slated to meet the quality force review board in May or an enlisted retention board in June must complete an AF Form 3538E, Enlisted Retention Recommendation Form, for each eligible Airman, Air Force Personnel Center officials said. Completed forms must be provided to Airmen and submitted to AFPC by April 4 for the QFRB and May 17 for the ERB.

The retention recommendation form, although common to the officer retention program, is new to enlisted mem-bers, said Will Brown, evaluation and recognition programs branch chief.

“Commanders and senior raters who have never completed an RRF for officers may need some guidance on how to complete one,” Brown said. “The form is self-explanatory for the most part, but there are sections — like the stratification section — that require commanders to assess their Airmen and rank-order them based on which Airmen have exhibited traits and behaviors that indicate they are suited for retention, so completing the ERRFs will require that commanders and senior raters thoroughly review their Airmen’s records.”

Board-eligible Airmen lists have been provided to military personnel sections for distribution to commanders and senior raters, and information about the form and how to

complete it is available in the personnel systems delivery memo on myPers. Lists will be periodically updated in the event eligible Airmen are added or removed from the lists.

With some exceptions at the major command, combatant command, numbered Air Force and field operating agency levels, recommendation forms for technical sergeants and below will be completed by administrative unit command-ers. For senior noncommissioned officers, forms will be completed by the senior rater.

The form includes a job description section for duty title and key duties and responsibilities. That information can be pulled from the last enlisted performance report, unless an Airman has changed jobs since the last report, Brown said. In that case, the new supervisor/rater should provide information for the job description section.

In addition, the form has a block for mandatory evalu-ator comments.

“This section is limited to three bullets, which should relay to the retention board the unique qualities and skills the Airman possesses and justification for retaining the Airman in the Air Force,” Brown explained.

For the ERB, commanders or senior raters must then “stratify” their Airmen to let board members know how Airmen compare to others in their current Air Force spe-cialty codes and grades, and how they compare to others by grade only. QFRB-eligible Airmen will not be stratified.

Stratification means differentiating between very good, good, average and poor performers, based on the whole person concept, he explained.

After stratifying an Airman, the commander or senior rater will select the “retain,” “consider” or “do not retain” block, print and hand-sign the form, provide each Airman with a copy of his or her form, and submit all forms to the Air Force Personnel Center.

Airmen eligible to meet the ERB or QFRB must be pro-vided with a copy of their ERRFs at least 30 days before their board meets, said Brown. That enables Airmen who dispute or have concerns with the comments, ratings or stratification to discuss their concerns with their commander or senior rater.

“An Airman may also write a letter directly to the board to address any concerns in his or her record. This cor-respondence should be focused on factual information, rather than opinion or emotion, and the letter is limited to one page, so information must be very clear and specific,” Brown said.

Airmen slated to meet the ERB or QFRB can find more information about the program and the ERRF on the myPers website. Go to https://mypers.af.mil and enter “FY14 Force Management Programs.” Once on the FM page, scroll down to the enlisted only programs section and review the docu-ments linked there.
