JET LETTER/January 2008 3

Happy New Year to all of our members and families of the 119th Wing!

2008 will be a year of continued challenges, opportunities, and change.

Looking back on 2007, this was probably the year of change that will never

be surpassed in the history of the NDANG. For the first time in our history,

we are no longer a FIGHTER Wing. We no longer have FIGHTER aircraft,

and after January 16, 2007 we no longer heard the engines of the F-16s in

Fargo. But we have evolved into missions that are viable, challenging,

exciting and ensure that the legacy of the 119th Wing will continue.

We have many challenges ahead of us for the year 2008. We will be

successful because we know that the real strength of the NDANG lies in

its heart. The characteristics of our culture motivate all of us to excel

beyond expectations in our normal way of work. We have learned the hard

way that the secret of success is not predicting the future, but rather it is

creating an organization that will thrive in a future that cannot be

predicted. This is what we are living in today - a future that we cannot

predict. And we are surviving. That doesn’t mean that we are surviving

without some anxiety, pain, and fear of the unknown future. We have all

experienced the empty feeling of not having control over our destiny, but

we fall back on the parachute of our culture - and we survive.

In the past year, many of you have transitioned into new career fields

with all of the associated hurdles of cross training, being separated from

families and loved ones, learning to work with new co-workers and new

duty titles outside of our seasoned and well-worn comfort zones.

We have tried our best to assist

full-time and traditional members with

finding new careers. We have tried to

“take care” of everyone, but “taking

care of airmen” implies a degree of

control over our environment and that

we have the ability to shelter people

from the impact of external forces. This

promise may have been realistic at one

time, but not anymore. Instead of

protection, we have found that we owe

airmen opportunity: the chance to do

well and to grow in one’s career. We are

trying to provide that, but it is a slow

process.

WE are the North Dakota Air

National Guard - its character, culture,

and personality. WE are the long-term

prospects for success because of our

character: work habits, resilience,

tenacity, ambition, and willingness to

learn. WE will determine the future of

the 119th Wing. If WE are all part of a

sustainable environment, one that is the

very fabric of excellence, then WE will

be successful and will endure.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With our nation at war, operations security becomes a vital

part of success in battle and force protection at home.

Although most point to classified information, there is

another category of information called critical information that’s

also important to protect. It is that information about intentions,

capabilities, operations or activities that could possibly give

our adversaries an advantage. Such information may seem

insignificant, but when pieced as a puzzle with other bits of

information, can reveal important details of ongoing or planned

operations.

Capt. Allen Reeves, chief of defensive counter information

with the 67th Information Warfare Flight said the vigilance of

family members as well as airmen is necessary to prevent critical

information from getting into enemy hands.

“The success of our military mission depends on secrecy

and surprise,” he said. “Secrecy and surprise helps us do our

mission both more quickly and with less risk. Enemies of

freedom want information, and they’re not just targeting our

airmen, they’ll target our families, too.”

Every Air Force family has bits and pieces of information

about the military mission. Members of the Air Force family

must take care not to discuss information outside of their

immediate family, Reeves said.

“Some bits of critical information could include detailed

unit mission information, times and locations of deployments,

and large numbers of personnel transactions including pay

information, powers of attorneys and wills,” he said.

“References about unit morale or personnel problems or details

about security also fall into the critical information category.”

Reeves said where and how information is discussed is

important, too.

“We all need to remember an adversary’s agents tasked

with collecting information frequently visit some of the same

stores, clubs, recreational areas or even churches as we do,” he

said.

Reeves said agents can also easily collect data from

cordless and cellular phones and even baby monitors using

inexpensive receivers available from local electronics stores.

His advice for families? “Be alert, be careful! Spies are a

reality. Our adversaries gain useful information through their

agents. A foreign agent may use a variety of approaches to

befriend someone and get sensitive information that can

compromise operations and leave the door open for terrorism. If

the person you are talking to shows excessive interest in the

military affairs of your family member, notify your sponsor, the

unit OPSEC program manager of the local Air Force Office of

Special Investigations.”

119th Medical Group

In December 2006, the 119th Medical Group implemented an

annual, medical readiness, mass processing program called

PHA-Quick. PHA-Quick is a frequent deployer program

adopted from the 132nd Medical Group (Des Moines, Iowa, Air

National Guard), and was tailored to the 119th Wing’s mission to

assist members in easily fulfilling their individual medical

readiness (IMR) requirements.

We wanted PHA-Quick to be a “one-stop shop” for all

annual requirements. PHA-Quick captures all of the non-fly

Reserve Component Periodic Health Assessment (RCPHA)

requirements—to include annual influenza vaccinations and

gas mask fit testing—in one visit during the December drill

weekend.

Customer satisfaction has been tremendous, as indicated

in patient survey results. For December 2007, 584 non-flyers

fulfilled all of their annual requirements, and were processed in

a day and a half. In addition, 76 flyers and students received

their influenza vaccinations making a grand total of 661 patients

seen during December UTA.

Comparatively in December 2006, we saw nearly 800

patients. However, the 119th Wing’s adjusted population is

down by a little more than a 100 members from last year, and a

substantial amount of individuals who were TDY during

December UTA due to mission changes (school).

Individual processing time was as little as seven minutes to

just over 2 hours; time was dependent on individual’s medical

needs for the year. Those members who required gas mask fit

testing and who required a “long RCPHA” exam—indicated by

“blue” folders—were closer to the two-hour time frame.

This fairly new process has greatly contributed to the 119th

Wing’s ability to consistently maintain an overall “green” IMR

status with 80 percent or more of our patient population ready

to deploy—making the 119th Wing a leader in the Air National

Guard medical community. Furthermore, we were able to share

the process with the New Orleans ANG this year, and they will

be considering implementation of PHA-Quick in 2008.

Thank you for your support in making the process a huge

success! We extend a special thank you to Ground

Communications Flight, Services, and all Unit Health Monitors

in assisting in the preparation and set up of PHA-Quick.

We encourage anyone who didn’t have the opportunity to

share their comments and/or has any recommendations to

further strengthen the process to let us know.

Retired Happy Hooligans share their

It was a wind-chilled November morning, but that didn’t

stop the retirees or the playful banter that often accompanies

these devoted Hooligans from years ago.

A job needed to be done and these retirees, the same men

who fought in previous wars, worked with aircraft that some of

us have only seen on display and lived through eras in our

history that were the best and worst of times for military

members, came to relive their own personal and historic

memories with the NDANG.

Faded photographs spanning over decades of Hooligan

history covered the tables. These pictures contained

anonymous faces that not only needed to be identified, but

more importantly, the stories enclosed in these images needed

to be told before they were lost forever to time.

Some of the stories made them laugh out loud and some

stories just made them shake their head in amazement, but

through all the reminiscing one aspect remained unchangedthese historical images represented people who were proud to

call themselves a "Happy Hooligan."

Today, as we go through our current transition we

continuously talk about the importance of adapting to change

in order to remain vigilant. This is a necessary direction that

our unit must take to secure our future. But through these

changes, we must also recognize and appreciate the roots of

this organization and how even though the structure and faces

have changed through the years, the integrity of the personnel

who make up the unit has not.

Our uniforms may have changed. Our mission may be

completely different, but if we

continue to look to the future,

all the while remembering the

lessons of the past, we will

inspire the honorable people

who call themselves a “Happy

Hooligan” for generations to

come.

Nov. 17 a master sgt. of the 119 Civil Engineer Squadron, works on

repairing the roof of one of the homes damaged in the tornado that

hit the town of Northwood, N.D., on Aug. 26, 2007.

A master sgt. and senior airman, both of the 119 Civil Engineer

Squadron, along with a Bismarck State College student, repair the

roof of one of the houses damaged in the Aug. 26 tornado that hit

Northwood.

On November 17-18 the National Guard once again

answered the call to help local citizens.

N.D. airmen and soldiers were involved in operation

“Button-Up Northwood,” a recovery effort in response to a

tornado that devastated the Northwood community

August 26.

Residents of Northwood focused on rebuilding efforts

throughout the summer and fall, but the difficulty of

finding available contractors to make the repairs created

the need for the Guard’s assistance.

Approximately 100 airman and soldiers worked on nine

severely damaged homes, focusing primarily on repairs to

“button up” the homes in time for winter. Maintenance

such as roof-work, shingling, and siding replacement were

the primary tasks accomplished by the Guardsmen.

“Our first priority is the safety and well being of the

residents who are living in homes that may still be exposed

to the elements,” said N.D. Gov. John Hoeven in a

television interview on November 17 during a tour of

Northwood.

In addition to Gov. Hoeven, Maj.Gen. David

Sprynczynatyk, N.D. Adjutant General, was in attendance

to see the progress and to personally thank the Guard

members at each house for their continued efforts to help

the Northwood residents.

“We appreciate the efforts of our National Guard in

helping the citizens of Northwood,” said Hoeven.

JET LETTER/January 2008 9

I joined the Army in 1970 and served two tours in Vietnam.

Joining the NDANG in 1973, I worked in various aircraft

maintenance positions. The August 1998 movement of the Alert

Detachment from March Air Force Base, Ca. to Langley Air

Force Base, Va. was happening and I had the opportunity to be

the chief enlisted manager.

In 2000, there was another opportunity to become the

noncommissioned officer in charge of the 12th Expeditionary

Fighter Squadron in Curacao, Netherland Antilles. The mission

was for F-16s to intercept and identify drug smugglers coming

out of South America.

In 2001, the mission in Curacao was closed and once again,

I had the opportunity to become the executive assistant to the

chief of counterdrugs at the National Guard Bureau in

Washington, D.C. I have had many beneficial opportunities in

this position, such as conducting ‘enlisted calls,’ that has given

me experience in mentoring and developing both soldiers and

airmen for their careers.

In 2007 I had the opportunity to become the senior enlisted

manager of the National Guard Bureau Joint Staff. It’s my

responsibility to keep the Director NGB Joint Staff informed of

all enlisted issues for the airmen and soldiers who work in the

Joint Staff.

I am honored to have the opportunity to work with another

N.D. airman, Maj. Gen. Terry Scherling, who is the director of the

Joint Staff at NGB and has been a great motivating force. She is

impressive to watch and rewarding to work for.

I have approximately 90 ANG airmen and 110 ARNG soldiers

now and it is a great opportunity for me to provide them with

information and mentorship. They are a hungry crowd and it is

exciting to see how much they appreciate the effort.

My assignment here in Washington, D.C., has provided my

wife and me with many outstanding opportunities. I belong to

the Foreign Joint Services NCO Association, which consists of

Senior NCOs from 22 different foreign embassies in

Washington, D.C. We meet monthly at the different embassies

where we normally get a lecture from a one-star equivalent who

explains their country’s military role and how they interact with

the U.S. military.

Periodically, I have the honor and opportunity to wash the

Vietnam and Korean walls with the Air Force Sergeants

Association, work with the NGB Chiefs' group to rebuild homes

for the elderly and participate in many special events and

military balls. My mess dress gets quite a work out here!

My entire career has been full of unforgettable

opportunities. I have had the opportunity to travel the world,

compete in great contests with great co-workers, and meet great

people. I’ve also had the opportunity to learn that your more

painful experiences can turn into the best thing that ever

happened to you.

 Advice: Always take the opportunity to do the right

thing, even when you think no one is looking. You never know

when that young airman is watching. You may be their example

of how they should look or act for their future.

Free lunch!

I hate paying for something that I can get for free. This

is one reason I use OpenOffice at home and why I will drive

miles looking for an ATM branded by my bank, so I don’t

have to pay ATM fees. I have never been a fan of calling

information when I needed to know a phone number. The

phone book is free and 411 can be expensive depending on

your service. But I have stumbled upon two amazing and free

services that solve this problem and to show that I am not

promoting one over the other, I will describe details about

both of them. They are GOOG-411 offered by Google, and 1-

800-Free411 offered by Jinglenetworks. The telephone numbers

for both of these services are 1-800-GOOG-411 (800-466-411)

and 1800-Free-411 (800-373-3411) respectively. Drop what you

are doing and put these numbers in your cell phone now. Both

of these services use sophisticated voice recognition to

successfully translate a callers vocal responses to prompts into

database searches to find phone listings, for free!! It’s really

that simple. You tell the system what city and state for the

listing you need, and go from there. The two services are a little

different, and here is where the difference starts. GOOG-411 will

only find businesses, by name or by category. GOOG-411 will

also connect you once you are satisfied it has found the right

number for you. 1-800-Free411 will do business as well as

residential listings, but it won’t connect you. This is all free,

really. What’s the catch you say? Another difference is that

GOOG-411 is currently being supported mainly by Google’s war

chest of billions of dollars while 1-800-Free411 is ad driven.

Yes, if you use 1-800-Free411, you have to listen to short

advertisements before you get your number, but that’s okay, it

gives you time to find something to write with. Many times

these ads will have something to do with the service or product

of the business you are trying to find. Another difference is

that while the GOOG-411 website really doesn’t do anything,

the 1-800-Free411 website can be used to easily and quickly

search for business and residential phone numbers online, also

for free. There is an intriguing back story concerning how it

came about that both of these services are available at the

moment, and the Google 411 service is in beta testing while

Google decides how to incorporate advertising into GOOG-411.

Sometimes this column is just about some computer related

development that is convenient, handy, interesting and affects

our everyday lives. This has been one of those times. Enjoy!

with his usual mode of travel.
