Show Friday, May 20, HILL TOP TIMES 1983 Page 3 HEK Program to help get To Top of the ;Hillr By CoL Harry Gregory Director, Plans and Programs Have you ever been frustrated because of a multitude of regulations and directives which impede or obstruct you from getting your job accomplished? Have you often been told that "we do the job this way because we've always done it this way?" Or "There is no way to change the method of getting the job done. Just live with it!" Have you observed "dumb" practices and procedures and wondered what you could do to correct the problem? Well, the day has come when you have a chance to challenge "dumb practices," obsolete regulations and restrictive procedures with the intent of improving the way work is done at Hill AFB. And in doing so, and be you can become a HERO recognized for suggesting a better way. HERO stands for "Help Eliminate Restrictive Obstacles" and is being implemented at this installation at the direction of Maj. Gen. Leo Marquez, Ogden ALC Commander. General Marquez is asking all employees on the base to look at the way work is accomplished in all organizations: in the hangar, in the office, in the shops everywhere and where there is a better way, let's do it. You can use a HERO Form (AFLC Form 3801) to identify that better way and submit it to the HERO Office in the Directorate of Plans and Programs for evaluation. Or you may call the HERO hotline, Ext. 76578-anrecord your HERO suggestion. It should be noted that the HERO Hotline is also shared with the Energy hotline and can be used for either program. In introducing the HERO Program at last week's ALC Commander's d Call, General Marquez said, "We need to tap the creativity and ingenuity of our people. We all know there are problem dragons out there. I need your help to slay some of these, dragons." The intent of HERO is to identify and change or eliminate those practices which do not allow the job to be done efficiently. General Marquez wants you to find a better way. He needs your ideas and he wants to recognize you for those ideas. Become a HERO and help Ogden ALC get "To the Top of the Hill!"

Theme of this year's campaign is "Make it click: Arrive alive." Ron Baertsch, Safety Office, chairman of the campaign for Ogden Air Logistics Center, said, Summertime mishaps are nearly 20 percent higher during these 101 Critical Days than at other times of the year. The two main threats are traffic mishaps and drownings, often caused by the use of alcohol. This year's theme emphasizes the two important 'safety musts,' wearing seat belts and not drinking while driving."
