Air Force streamlines ADSC program WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- In response to concerns from the field, Air Force leaders have simplified and standardized the active duty service commitment policy, making it less cumbersome and easier to understand. Secretary of the Air Force F. Whitten Peters and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael E. Ryan approved the new ADSC plan. "The new ADSC Air Force instruction and tables are simple and easy to understand," Peters said. "But, more importantly, they are designed to be fair to the individual service member. This is simply the right thing to do. Nothing can be more devastating in my mind than not treating people fairly." The revision comes after a month-long review by an integrated process team appointed by the secretary and chief to fix the ADSC problems. Led by Lt. Gen. Roger DeKok, deputy chief of staff for plans and programs, the team was tasked to come up with a plan to simplify and standardize ADSCs. "Our guidance to the IPT was simple," Ryan said. "Create an easily understood program that is fair and equitable to the Air Force and its members." During review of the existing program, the team found the rules and tables governing ADSCs to be complex and ambiguous, often contributing to incorrect documentation. The new program lets airmen plan their careers while allowing the Air Force to manage force requirements. "We took the ADSC AFI from 15 tables and 189 rules down to only two tables and 34 rules," DeKok said. "Our primary premise was simplicity. "The ADSC program, however, should also not nickel-and-dime our troops for service owed, but rather be a tool that shows a mutual faith and trust for our service to our country," he added. "The new program puts the trust back where it belongs -- in our people." The major changes hit three primary areas: advanced flying training, education and training, and promotions. Changes to flying training include standardized pilot commitments of 10 years -- regardless of weapon system or major command -- and eliminating ADSCs for in-unit training. Additionally, 95 percent of education and training ADSCs were eliminated for courses under 20 weeks. This involved approximately 5,600 courses. ADSCs will also move to a standardized three years for all courses longer than 20 weeks. This includes Air Force Institute of Technology masters degree programs. AFIT doctorate programs will stabilize at a five-year commitment, and ADSCs will be eliminated for Squadron Officer School. Federal statutes govern time-in-grade retirement requirements for senior officers. Given these statutory mandates for officer retirements, the previous two-year ADSC associated with promotions for major through colonel was not needed and has been eliminated. Given the absence of comparable statutory restrictions on enlisted time-in-grade retirement requirements, and Defense Department regulatory requirements that senior noncommissioned officer promotions carry an ADSC, the two year ADSC remains for promotions to E-7, E-8 and E-9. Air Force members will maintain their current ADSCs -- as reflected on the signed Air Force Forms 63 in their personnel files. When the new AFI goes into effect June 1, airmen will move under the new rules as they sign new ADSC commitments. This will primarily occur as people undergo a permanent change of station or attend extensive training. For those who feel an injustice has been done in the past or in the way the new rules are being implemented, the Air Force Personnel Center commander has been given wide latitude to grant relief. The new ADSC tables will be available online at the Air Force Personnel Center Web site by May 13. 000709a.gif and 000709a.jpg Effective June 1, all active-duty service commitments will be outlined in a two-chart instruction in "plain" English. The new instruction applies to people who sign commitments after June 1. (Graphic by Staff Sgt. Cheryl Toner) 000710. Commentary: ADSC changes put people first by F. Whitten Peters, secretary of the Air Force, and Gen. Michael E. Ryan, Air Force chief of staff WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- After years of dealing piecemeal with repeated problems related to active-duty service commitments, we decided there had to be a better way. Our airmen deserve a system they can understand. We formed a "tiger team" to overhaul the entire ADSC system. The charge to the team was explicit: Make it simple! Led by Lt. Gen. Roger DeKok, deputy chief of staff for plans and programs, the group has exceeded even our high expectations. With help from across the Air Force, the team produced a new Air Force instruction that will be published June 1. Gone are page after page of charts and rules. In their place is a simple, two-chart instruction, with rules written in plain English. All service commitments will be in one instruction. There will be no more major command supplements and confusing references. We also standardized service commitments and removed those that don't make sense. For instance, why require a service commitment for promotion when, by law, commissioned officers must remain on active duty for three years to retire in that grade? The same common sense approach led us to eliminate the service commitments for any training class that lasts fewer than 20 weeks. That one move eliminates 95 percent of the ADSCs generated by technical training. Equally important, we are creating a system that assumes our airmen are people of honesty and integrity who will live up to their commitments. We were determined that the ADSC overhaul be accomplished quickly. From start to finish, we've been at this less than three months. But we did need to guard against unintended consequences and "gotchas" and to seek out the opinions of those who will work under the new rules. That's why we took the time to assemble a focus group of 30 airmen from all commands and walks of Air Force life. They reviewed the proposed changes and then split into two groups to apply the new rules -- without help from anyone -- to 15 scenarios. Each group got 14 of 15 correct. They both missed the same one, and we have rewritten that part of the instruction to make it clearer. They also made a number of more general suggestions that were incorporated into the final version of the instruction. Their input was invaluable. As with any major decision, we had to make tough choices. For standardization, some ADSCs are increased in the new instruction. There aren't many and we believe those changes are justified. We also had to decide who would be affected by the new rules. After weighing the needs of the Air Force and the nation against the desires of our airmen, we decided the new service commitments will apply only to people who sign commitments after June 1. Unfortunately, we cannot afford to apply new rules to people who signed commitments under the old system. We have already relied on those commitments in making our force management plans, and it is just too difficult to "unring the bell." We are convinced our airmen understand this. For those who feel an injustice has been done in the past or in the way these new rules are being implemented, we have given the commander of the Air Force Personnel Center at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, wide latitude to grant relief. We have discussed with him what needs to be done, and we are all committed that this new system will be fair to both airmen and the taxpaying public. That commitment will guide the implementation process. Nothing is more devastating to retention than treating people unfairly. Our goal for the past two and a half years has been to ensure the Air Force is a great place to work. This means more than lowering operations tempo, improving the quality of housing and raising pay. It also means ensuring our Air Force treats its people right. You give us a great deal. We demand integrity, selfless service, and excellence from everyone on our great team. You have every right to expect the same in return. We are the world's greatest Air Force because of your dedication. Thank you for your service; you are truly the best and brightest our nation has to offer. We're honored to serve on your team. 000708. College Loan Repayment Program offers new recruits up to $10K WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- For the first time in its history, the Air Force is offering eligible new recruits up to $10,000 toward repaying their college loans. Also, the service is offering an additional $5,000 enlistment bonus to people entering one of more than 100 selected career areas between now and May 31. These incentives are in addition to any existing bonuses they may already be receiving. "We're excited to offer this great new incentive to America's young men and women," said Carol DiBattiste, undersecretary of the Air Force. "This is just the beginning of many incredible benefits our people enjoy. In addition to tremendous job training, immediate responsibility, and educational and leadership opportunities, our talented men and women enjoy serving their country and being part of the most powerful and respected aerospace force in the world." The College Loan Repayment Program targets people entering active duty in any career field on a four- or six-year enlistment, said Air Force officials. "The plan allows new recruits with outstanding college loans to enlist in any AFSC (Air Force Specialty Code), and receive up to $10,000 to go toward repaying their loan," said Marylee Baker, assistant chief, voluntary education branch, Directorate of Personnel Force Development. In addition to the college loan repayment program, the Air Force offers all its airmen educational advantages including the Community College of the Air Force, tuition assistance, and the Montgomery GI Bill. More information about the Air Force's college loan repayment program and the recent $5,000 enlistment bonus offered to recruits enlisting before the end of May, is available from local Air Force recruiters, or by calling 1-800-423-USAF or visiting www.airforce.com. 000712. Air Force releases aerospace integration white paper WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- The Air Force released its white paper on aerospace integration May 9. Entitled "The Aerospace Force: Defending America in the 21st Century," the paper describes the Air Force's view of the future of aerospace power. The paper, the result of a two-year effort, is a key pillar to the strategic vision update for 2020. Aerospace integration involves combining air and space capabilities and personnel to attain better results than could be achieved with air and space elements operating independently. It is a set of actions that continue to advance U.S. warfighting capabilities and prepare today's aerospace leaders for their role in tomorrow's aerospace force. "The Aerospace Force: Defending America in the 21st Century" is available on Air Force Link at http://www.af.mil/lib/taf.pdf. 000707. Air Force Titan launch succeeds CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla. (AFPN) -- The Air Force successfully launched a Titan IVB rocket May 8 carrying a Defense Support Program satellite from Space Launch Complex 40 here. The Titan IVB successfully completed its portion of the mission about nine minutes after liftoff when it separated from the DSP satellite and the inertial upper stage that boosted it into orbit. Approximately seven hours after liftoff, the spacecraft separated from the IUS and was deployed into orbit. Both the Titan IVB and the inertial upper stage appeared to perform as expected. Air Force Space Command-operated Defense Support Program satellites are a key part of North America's early warning systems. In their 22,000-mile geosynchronous orbits, DSP satellites help protect the United States and its allies by detecting missile launches, space launches and nuclear detonations. The Titan IVB-IUS-DSP launch team encompassed many agencies, which worked closely together during all stages of processing. Among them were the 45th Space Wing, Cape Canaveral AFS; the Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif.; TRW Space and Electronics Group, Redondo Beach, Calif.; Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Denver; and the Boeing Company, Huntington Beach, Calif. The DSP satellite is now in its initial orbit where it will begin a 30-day on-orbit checkout phase. (Courtesy of Air Force Space Command News Service) 000711. Air Force success reflects past investments WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Secretary of the Air Force F. Whitten Peters said last year's Kosovo operations reflect the investments the Air Force has made in the past 10 to 15 years in precision weapons and equipment capabilities on the mobility front. "I think what we've done...is develop all the basic systems we need to be an expeditionary force," Peters said. "We saw it in Kosovo when we setup 21 bases very quickly." The secretary said the Air Force has learned to adapt quickly to deployments and contingencies since the Gulf War. "We've actually made a lot of improvements in how to get our forces out more quickly, and to be more effective and to be able to fight once we get there, or to deliver humanitarians supplies. "The good news is we know how to do (expeditionary operations)," he said, adding, "the bad news is now that we can do that, people want us to continue doing it. "I believe, over the next decade and probably longer, we will be more involved in these expeditionary operations than any other kind. This means we are likely to be moving out to air bases we don't normally operate from for a period of time, either for combat or humanitarian relief, and then come home." In order to respond to this type of scenario, the secretary said there are three fundamental things the Air Force has to accomplish One, the service has to be ready for a major theater war on very short notice. Two, the Air Force has to be able to do its day-to-day operations as dictated by the nation's command authorities. Three, the service must sustain its force. He said the Air Force has acknowledged and reconciled the three and said the expeditionary aerospace force structure is critical because it allows about 80 percent of the force to be home and in training, while the remaining force is accomplishing day-to-day operations. "We are also continuing to work with the Guard and Reserve, who are doing an amazing job in fulfilling about 10 to 12 percent of our deployed positions," he said. The secretary also said as the Air Force continues to progress toward an EAF, its plan is to increase first, manpower, and second, upgrade and develop the systems that can do the intelligence work that will enable the service to fulfill its missions. "We're trying to raise our active-duty manpower back up to 360,000, which we think is our best estimate of the total amount it will take to do the mission." Additionally, Peters said the Air Force has just received its 16th Rivet Joint aircraft, "which is our first new airplane in a while." Rivet Joint aircraft provide direct, near real-time reconnaissance information and electronic warfare support to theater commanders and combat forces. "We're also going to deliver a number of additional Joint Stars this year." He said the service is also speeding up its upgrade of the AWACS system and pursuing plans to procure additional AWACS trainers, as well as working with Congress to get another training aircraft for the U-2 fleet. "I think the basic strategy right now is to try to increase the combat mission ready crews and augment the U-2 with unmanned air vehicles like the Global Hawk. "We have accelerated the Global Hawk program and we're looking hard at it to ensure that fairly soon we will have capabilities that will augment Rivet Joint, Joint Stars, the U-2 and a wide range of intelligence programs so that maybe, we can reduce the overall tempo in those areas." The secretary believes the aerospace expeditionary force rotations have helped to stabilize the overall ops tempo and said the feedback from the troops in the field has been positive. "Many find it hard to believe that they won't be tasked for another deployment for another year," he said. "Some have told me that now they can pursue educational goals since they know when they're going to be deployed." He said his priorities for the future include working to improve retention and recruiting. "Retention numbers are getting better, that's good news. The pilot bonus also seems to be working. The pilot shortage is coming down more quickly than we thought and we're obviously pleased about that." Some of the hard-hit career fields are also seeing their ops tempo drop. "All of our flightline people had been so hard-pressed with deployments that we were losing a lot of them," the secretary said. "Those career fields now seem to be stabilizing." Peters said the recent pay and bonus initiatives also appear to be helping stabilize retention. "All the senior Air Force leaders have been working very hard to improve quality of life and quality of service for our people." 000713.

Operation Walking Shield benefiting Native Americans by Capt. Ange Jaskiewicz 5th Bomb Wing Public Affairs MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. (AFPN) -- Jimmy Dishner, deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for installations, was in Bismarck, N.D., recently to attend an Operation Walking Shield conference and finalize details for donating former Air Force base housing to local North Dakota American Indian tribes. Operation Walking Shield is a civil-military collaborative program to help improve the quality of life for American Indians living on reservations and, at the same time, provide important training for military Reserve personnel who are involved with the program. The program was developed by the Walking Shield American Indian Society in 1994. "Minot Air Force Base will be transferring about 150 housing units at a rate of around 20 per year between fiscal 2003 and 2010," said Dishner. "Minot joins efforts with Malmstrom (AFB, Mont.), and Grand Forks (AFB, N.D.), in a total effort to transfer 823 housing units." "The Defense Department's goal is to revitalize base housing by 2010," said Lt. Col. James Byron, 5th Civil Engineer Squadron commander. "Minot has renovated 408 units, but has an additional 2,051 units that do not meet standards. The base is scheduled to receive funds to repair or replace about 640 homes over the next five years. "The inventory of homes to be replaced includes about 150 relocatable units that will be transferred to local American Indian Tribes beginning in 2003. This is a great way to improve the quality of life of Native American people. It also gives everybody at Minot Air Force Base an opportunity to do something positive for our neighbors," Byron said. "This program is an important initiative designed to help the quality of life of our Native American citizens," said Dishner. "Operation Walking Shield is not limited to housing but the general quality of life on reservations," he said. "The Air Force is providing professional medical care through the Air Force Reserve, who spend their annual summer tours at various reservation clinics dispensing dental and other critical medical care to Native Americans." Grand Forks began transferring 463 units to local tribes in 1996, and Malmstrom started transferring some 200 units in 1998. Minot will begin its transfer in 2003.

(AFPN) -- "Lights," "cameras" and "action" were three of the words frequently heard around base recently during the filming of the Fox Family television movie "Rocket's Red Glare." Rocket's Red Glare is about a retired Air Force colonel, played by Robert Wagner, who with his grandson, played by Ryan Merriman, find and restore an old Mercury red-stone rocket. In the movie, the space shuttle has an emergency in space and it's up to the Air Force to save the day. "Vandenberg has all the resources to get the rocket up," is the actual line used in the film. The Vandenberg spacelift commander, played by Col. Duane Lamb, 30th Support Group commander, brings a team of his experts to transport the rocket to Vandenberg. There the Air Force launches the rocket from Space Launch Complex 10. Marilu Henner, Danielle Fishel and John Finn also star in the film. The movie was filmed at various locations around the base including the Santa Maria Gate, SLC-3, SLC-10, the Remote Launch Control Center, the base museum and the flightline. Originally, director of photography Chris Duddy had fewer sites in mind for actual filming. That changed after he had a chance to see more of Vandenberg. "I never imagined such wonderful scenery on a military installation," Duddy said. This is the first time Vandenberg has been the focal point of a Hollywood film production. Air Force Entertainment Liaison Office representative Master Sgt. Tom Giannazzo said there is a possibility of more films being done at the base. "Vandenberg is a great place with great people," said Giannazzo. "We want the whole world to learn about their important mission in the defense of this country." More than 300 people from Vandenberg saw action in the film as extras. About five people were given speaking roles. "Our people were able to gain insights on how much work goes into making a film and the movie people were able to gain an appreciation of life on a military installation" said 2nd Lt. Chris Watt, 30th Space Wing Public Affairs. "We were impressed with so much talent and professionalism from the military," said John Brister, executive producer. "Credit should be given to the flexibility of Team Vandenberg in making this film a reality," Watt said. "Sandwiched in between our Operational Readiness Inspection and our preparations for Guardian Challenge, many base organizations stepped up to the plate to handle the additional work a movie production brings to a military installation." As a 17-year-old actor, Merriman looks forward to working with the military in the future. "The people at Vandenberg were really cool. I was lucky enough to ride in your helicopters and get an in-depth look at where you launch rockets," Merriman said. In closing, the film's writer and director, Chris Bremble, said of the experience on filming on base, "The Vandenberg people have gone the extra mile at every opportunity. I am sure their cooperation will make Rocket's Red Glare a better film." (Courtesy of Air Force Space Command News Service) 000703. New education incentives start for Air Force reservists ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFPN) -- Air Force reservists in 10 critical career fields and those seeking tuition assistance can apply for two new education incentives starting June 1. Air Force Reserve Command's Montgomery G.I. Bill-Selected Reserve "Kicker" program and AFRC's enhanced tuition assistance program are designed to boost recruitment and retention of unit reservists and individual mobilization augmentees. AFRC officials here announced plans to implement both programs in early March. Designed to work in conjunction with the Montgomery G.I. Bill-Selected Reserve basic program, the kicker program will provide up to an additional $350 per month to qualifying full-time students in critical skills. Those skills are: -- Aircrew operations (1A) -- Intelligence (1N) -- Aircrew protection (1T) -- Manned aerospace maintenance (2A) -- Fuels (2F) -- Transportation and vehicle maintenance (2T) -- Munitions and weapons (2W) -- Civil engineering (3E) -- Medical services (4N) -- Linguist debriefer/interrogator (8D -- IMAs only) To qualify for the kicker, reservists with these skills must: -- Commit to a six-year enlistment; -- Be drawing the Montgomery G.I. Bill-Selected Reserve basic benefit; -- Be participating in the Selected Reserve; -- Have completed initial active duty training; -- Have a high school diploma or equivalent; and --Be enrolled in an approved institution of higher learning. Information about approved programs is available by calling or writing to the nearest Department of Veterans Affairs regional office. People can obtain these telephone numbers by consulting their local telephone under the U.S. Government section or calling 1-800-827-1000. To apply for the kicker, reservists must complete AFRC Form 19, Montgomery G.I. Bill-Selected Reserve Kicker Contract, which is pending publication. The tuition assistance program enhances the previous DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education) distance learning tuition assistance program. The new program offers 75 percent tuition reimbursement not to exceed $187.50 per semester hour, up to a maximum ceiling of $2,500 per year. Program participants can receive tuition assistance for resident courses and distance learning courses. To be eligible for reimbursement, reservists must: -- Have at least 24 months remaining on their service commitment when they apply for tuition assistance; -- Be actively participating and in good standing; -- Have a high school diploma or equivalent; -- Take courses offered by post secondary institutions accredited by a national or regional accrediting body recognized by the Department of Education; and -- Must receive a passing grade that applies credit toward obtaining a degree. Degree levels must be progressive, not equivalent. Applicants cannot draw tuition assistance for courses that lead to a degree level they already hold. For example, a person who has a bachelor's degree and an associate's degree cannot apply for assistance to get a second associate's degree. However, people pursuing an associate's degree through the Community College of the Air Force in their control Air Force specialty code may receive tuition assistance regardless of any other degree held. People can learn more about the kicker and DANTES tuition assistance programs by visiting base education and training offices. (Courtesy of AFRC News Service) 000702. Boeing 757 tests Raptor avionics WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Boeing is using an unusual-looking aircraft to flight-test the highly advanced, integrated avionics developed for the Air Force's F-22 Raptor. The F-22 Flying Test Bed, a modified Boeing 757, offers several benefits to the development program, said Capt. Adam Kalb, a Boeing F-22 program integrator. "Since the F-22 avionics (aircraft) won't be available for flight test until later this year, the flying test bed gives Boeing a chance to test the avionics software under actual flight conditions long before it is ever installed in the Raptor," he said. The test bed reduces risk, as well as future flight-testing hours, by enabling extensive in-flight testing, evaluation and troubleshooting, said Boeing officials. According to a Boeing spokesman, there is enough room on the aircraft for up to 30 software engineers and technicians, who can evaluate the avionics, identify anomalies and, in some cases, address these anomalies in real time. "This flying laboratory allows Boeing to solve problems long before the avionics and software fly in the F-22," Kalb said. "The FTB saves taxpayer dollars because it is much more costly to find and fix problems later once the avionics and software are installed in the actual aircraft." The test avionics are operated from a simulated F-22 cockpit installed in the flying test bed cabin. The cockpit has primary and secondary F-22 displays, as well as a throttle and stick. Additional modifications to the 757 included installing an F-22 forward fuselage section, housing the F-22 radar, to the nose section of the plane and installing a sensor wing on the aircraft's crown, immediately behind the flight deck. Communication, navigation and identification sensors were mounted directly on the sensor wing, designed to simulate the sensor positioning found in the F-22's wings, he said. Boeing began testing the F-22's sophisticated avionics aboard the 757 in March 1999. To date, they have completed more than 15,000 hours of avionics software testing in the avionics integration lab and 420 hours of testing on the F-22 Flying Test Bed.
