Show 12 Hilltop Times Jan. 25, 1996 Air Force people I support Super Bowl by SSgt. Rolla Suttmiller 56th Fighter Wing Public Aflairs - LUKE AFB, Ariz. (AFNS) As millions of football fans around the world prepare to tune in to the National Football League's Super Bowl in Sun Devil Stadium on Sunday, hundreds of Air Force people are working behind the scenes, helping the weeklong parade of events run smoothly. In October 1994, MSgt. Lester Robinson, 56th Operations Support Squadron, saw an ad seeking people to assist with stage crew productions. "I called them up and added my name to the list," he said. Now, here I am 15 months later (as) captain of the pregame stage crew." He's in charge of more than 150 Luke people who will volunteer their time to set up a series of stages for Super Bowl pregame entertainment. "There's a whole bunch of stuff we have to set up, then tear down again in a matter of minutes for each production," Robinson said. "We'll be unrolling and rolling up tarps; placing fake cactus and rocks about the stage; tethering inflatable balloons; and huge, even setting up a train." The team has three rehearsals to get prepared, including a dress rehearsal Friday at the stadium. Luke volunteers also are helping with the NFL Youth Camp Feb. at Packard Field. SrA. Dominique Collins, 56th Services Squadron, also read an ad, applied, and was named team captain. She's in charge of 90 Luke people who will help in running about 3,500 children through 26 stations. camp ' "We'll be in charge of escorting groups 20-2- 1 RANDOLPH AFB, Texas (AFNS) -The calendar 1996 Central Medical Service, Biomedical Sciences, and Nurse Corps selection boards convene at the Air Force Personnel Center here April 15.

"Each group will have two adults taking them around to get photos and autographs of the NFL stars, and to booths for goodie bags." This week leading up to the game will also see about 100 Luke people working ushers. A Chicago compaas part-tim- e ny is in charge of employing local people for a series of events, and word spread fast at the base. "We had an incredible response from Luke for ushers," said Joan Tamburelli, local liaison for the company. "Our firm was looking for military people because of their discipline and presentation, and we got it." Luke people will wear the company's uniform and serve as ushers during local tapings of "The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno" tonight and Friday, ESPN's Super Bowl special and the NFL players' party at the Civic Plaza. "The pay isn't great," said Tamburelli, "but most folks are just excited about being involved with the events." About 50 Air Force ROTC cadets from Arizona State University will be instrumental in managing air traffic around the stadium. "Our folks will be manning seven different stations," said Capt. James Hall, commandant of cadets. He explained the cadets would work in a special air traffic control tower at the stadium, directing helicopters in, parking them when they arrive, escorting dignitaries to cars and limousines, and acting as public affairs liaisons between the stadium and the tower. The cadets received special training from the Federal Aviation Administration.-- ' ; MAILHANDLER PARTICIPANTS J-f- MIN BETWEEN SHOULDERS I STIFFNESS OF NECK lv 7MWFUl I .

"Lengthy handouts, while containing a lot of good information, tend to get overlooked during outprocessing because there are so many other things going on," the sergeant said. "We know the fact sheet doesn't have every entitlement that a person might be eligible for, but it does give a brief explanation of the most common entitlements and, more importantly, the agency responsible for each entitlement."
