Show Hilltop 8 TIMES HILLTOP TIMES May 29, 2014 Airmen can modify myPers home page to make searches easier BY JANIS EL SHABAZZ Air Force Personnel Center JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Airmen using myPers have multiple role options available to help them locate the information they need faster and easier. When users log in, the system takes them to a default page attached to their authentication credentials (i.e., active duty, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, retiree or civilian employee). However, there may be times when users need to stay in tune with areas outside their current status. For example, a civilian who is discussing force management programs with an active-duty member may need to access the force management information for officer or enlisted personnel. "Users who frequently need to access areas other than their current status might consider changing their default page," said Thomas Oates, the knowledge management operations branch chief. Oates explained that users have two options to view different role-based information. They can navigate to the alternate area using the top menu bars and select the link for the page containing the information they need, or they can override the system detection and set their home page to the one they prefer. This can be done though the "Change My Default Home Page" link on the upper right hand corner of the page. For more information about personnel issues or to change the myPers home page, visit myPers. Airmen from Hill's 309th assist in Shaw mission 20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. — Airmen from the 309th Aircraft Maintenance Group at Hill Air Force Base will spend the next month at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, removing and installing a bulkhead in one of Shaw's F-16CJ Fighting Falcons. The Hill Airmen are here because the extent of the repair exceeds what Shaw Airmen are allowed to do by Air Force regulations. The Airmen have received specialized training for repairs like this and have specialized tools to aid them in the job, said Staff Sgt. Paul Beatty, 309th AMXG aircraft structural maintenance technician. The bulkhead is located along the fuselage, the body of the aircraft, and is a part of the skeleton of the plane. The removal of the existing bulkhead is necessary because the bearing that holds the landing gear strut has worn down and is now too big for the strut to sit in. The process will take approximately a month and a half, Beatty said. For the next week the goal will be to get the bulkhead cleaned out and all the fasteners- screws, bolts, nuts, and other securing items- removed so we can remove the bulkhead, said Staff Sgt. Joseph Gallegos, 309th AMXG aircraft structural maintenance technician. "Right now this is all basically prep work," said Beatty. "We need to get everything out of the bulkhead so we can make the removal easier." According to the Air Force's fact AIRMAN 1ST CLASS JONATHAN BASS U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Joseph Gallegos, 309th Aircraft Maintenance Group aircraft structural maintenance technician, assigned to Hill Air Force Base, Utah, inspects the bulkhead of an F-16CJ Fighting Falcon at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. on May 20. Gallegos and his team will spend the next month and a half removing the existing bulkhead and installing a new one on the aircraft. sheet on the F-16, the weight is 17,900 pounds. The bulkhead that's being replaced though, weighs less than 100 pounds. Over the next month and a half, the Hill Airmen from the 309th will work to get the jet back into the air as they assist the mission of the 20th Fighter Wing: Provide combat ready Airpower and Airmen, to meet any challenge, anytime, anywhere.

TORRI INGALSBE Air Force Public Affairs Agency Operating Location-P WASHINGTON — All supervisors are required to provide subordinates with an initial feedback, outlining expectations, standards and goals they can both work together to achieve. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III led the way by introducing the new Air Force Instruction 1-2 "Commander's Responsibilities" May 8 for commanders Air Force-wide. AFI 1-2 is a six-page document that details the general's priorities and expectations for those officers who hold command positions. Topics range from conduct and responsibilities to Welsh's overall intent. "It's important for all of us to be on the same page, especially when it comes to standards and conduct," Welsh said. "Our single most important job as commanders is to take care of the sons and daughters our nation has entrusted to us. This outlines how to accomplish that, while keeping consistency across all commands." In addition to AFI 1-2, the Air Force inspection system has been in development for the last three years, the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Inspector General Chief of Policy Integration Maj. Justin Longmire explained. One of the biggest focuses was on what really mattered to commanders. "For the first time, the Air Force now has an instruction which sets the minimum standard for successful command," said Lt. Gen. Stephen Mueller, the inspector general of the Air Force. "A great byproduct of this instruction is a standardized template for evaluating and inspecting all Air Force commander's along four common major graded areas." The AFI shows the specific expectations Welsh has for his commanders, training and equipping Airmen, to resource management. Commanders are expected to execute the mission, lead people, manage resources and improve the unit, according to the AFI. "AFI 1-2 provides 'commander's intent,' and outlines the expectations for commanders," Longmire said. "The Air Force Inspection System provides a congruent means of inspecting to those standards. especially in the realm of commander conduct. According to the AFI, "commanders are required to display exemplary conduct as outlined in U.S. law." In addition, "commanders must be above reproach, both morally and ethically, and exemplify Air Force Core Values and standards in their professional and personal lives." The AFI also delves into the responsibilities of commanders, from • MILITARY RELOCATION SPECIALIST • DGELI NE VI `if _5 (Next to Zupas) Nelson ♦ Illailson@oomcastatet ♦ Knowledge of Local Market Personal, One-On-One Attention Flexible Schedule Military Background 17+ Years of Realtor Experience 801-419-0531 1111111111111 SPECIAL I ♦ Full Time Realtor Buy one Get one FREE! hur};r r is FREE.
