Hurlburt hosts Emerald Coast K-9 Clash
By Senior Airman .

Air Force and Army military
working dog handlers and their
four-legged partners gathered for
the Emerald Coast K-9 Clash on
Hurlburt Field, Nov. 15. The event,
hosted by the 1st Special Operations
Security Forces Squadron, is the
first of its kind to be held here.
The clash allowed military working dog teams from across the
Department of Defense to come
together, garner experience from
each other and test their knowledge
in dog-handling, through various
competitions, according to Staff Sgt.
April Walker, event coordinator and
1st SOSFS military working dog
trainer.
“For our guys, participating in
this event has been really amazing,” said Walker. “They were able
to train, compete against and work
with other dog handlers, while expanding that network of people
within the same career field.”
The all-day competition consisted of searching buildings, navigating a jungle obstacle course,
patrolling scenarios and a variety of
other events. It concluded with an
Iron Dog competition, a race which
began with a 5-mile ruck, 2-mile run
and ended with a buddy carry in
which competitors slugged their
furry partners for 1 mile.
This event has been a learning experience for all the handlers
involved regardless their service,
according to Tech. Sgt. Dennis Luczak, security forces training program manager for Air Force Special
Operations Command and judge for
one of the events.
Participants were judged in a variety of areas including their ability
to work together as a team, maintain control of their dogs and navigate courses - all while employing
correct tactics.
“For a lot of the dog handlers this
was their first time competing. We
had the 7th Special Forces Group
guys who had the most obstacles to
overcome because they traditionally
don’t use their dogs for cop work,”
said Luczak, “Despite this, they held
their own during the events and

now have some idea of what to tailor their training to for next year’s
competition.”
The 7th SFG efforts to overcome
the challenges came to fruition with
a Soldier receiving the Iron Dog
Team Medal during an awards ceremony following the competition.
“This has been a great event and
an even greater opportunity for us
to get together with our Air Force
counterparts and exchange knowledge,” said Sergeant 1st Class John
Smith, 7th Special Forces Group
military dog handler. “We hope
they’ll continue to host events like
this in the future.”
One of Hurlburt’s own swept the
remaining award categories.
Staff Sgt. Philip Hines, 1st SOSFS military working dog handler,
and his partner, Szuli, earned the
Best Patrol Team and Best Decoy

Top Dog Team plaque, the highest
award for the competition.
Hines attributed his win to all the

come out on top,” said Hines. “Being relatively new to the military
working dog community, I didn’t really expect to win anything. It just
goes to show how hard we train
here.”
Under heavy enemy
fire Dec. 21, 2013, the
crew of Rooster 73 performed expert aerial
maneuvers while simultaneously providing
medical care to the critically-injured passengers
on board their CV-22
Osprey.
The 8th Special Operations Squadron crew’s
heroic efforts during the
flight resulted in the safe
evacuation of American
citizens from the remote
city of Bor, South Sudan,
and earned them the 2013
Mackay Trophy, which
was presented during a
ceremony Nov. 5.
In 1912, Clarence
Mackay presented the
first Mackay Trophy to
then-2nd Lt. Henry H.
‘Hap’ Arnold for a reconnaissance competition
flown over Virginia and
later deeded it to the
National Aeronautic Association. Administered
by the U.S. Air Force
and NAA, the trophy is
awarded annually for the
“most meritorious flight
of the year” by an Air
Force person, persons, or
organization.
When awarded, the
recipient’s name is engraved onto the trophy
where it is then displayed
at the Smithsonian Air
and Space Museum in
Washington, D.C.
Other notable Mackay
Trophy recipients in the
Air Force Special Operations Command include a
16th Special Operations
Squadron AC-130H crew
who received their award
in 1990 for airmanship

and outstanding professionalism during an
aerial flight over the Republic of Panama during
Operation Just Cause.
Another AFSOC MC130H crew earned the
Mackay Trophy in 1997
for overcoming hostile
gunfire, three heavyweight air refuelings, and
more than 13 hours flying
3,179 nautical miles to
their objective. The crew
successfully inserted a
European survey and
assessment team and
extracted 56 people from
the carnage and wanton
violence in Brassaville,
Republic of Congo. They
achieved this goal while
on the ground for less
than 23 minutes.
“It’s great to have
the prestigious Mackay
Trophy back in AFSOC.
These crews earned it
by performing flawlessly
under extremely hostile
conditions,” said Lt. Col.
Travis Hill, 8th SOS commander. “I’m extremely
proud of how they reacted; from the skills
training and systems
knowledge to the overall
professionalism they displayed. It’s an indication
of the quality and level
of excellence required
by the crews we have in
the CV-22 community and
AFSOC.”
After coordinating
multiple air-to-air refuelings, the crews of Rooster 73 Flight successfully
returned to Entebbe with
the wounded still alive.
“Their dedication to
duty, professionalism,
bravery, courage and airmanship was on display
during the aerial flight
supporting a non-combatant evacuation order in
the vicinity of Bor, South
Sudan,” said Air Force
Chief of Staff Gen. Mark
A. Welsh III. “The distinctive accomplishments of
Rooster 73 Flight reflect
greatly on the caliber
of our United States Air
Force Airmen.”

Thanksgiving safety tips from Hurlburt Fire Department
Turkey fryers available for home use pose
a significant danger of
releasing hot oil at some
point during the cooking
process. Older fryer units
designed for outdoor use
and those that employ
a stand are particularly
vulnerable to spilling oil
or being knocked over.
“There is a new outdoor turkey-cooking appliance that does not use
oil. These oil-less turkey
fryers are a safer alternative to traditional hot oil
fryers,” said Richards.
“It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when using

to avoid fire accidents.”
Personnel should also
be aware of overheating.
Overheating can occur if
the appliance has no temperature controls or if
the temperature controls,
designed to shut the fryer
off if the oil overheats,
are defective. Once cooking oil is heated beyond
its cooking temperature,
its vapors can ignite.
“Always have a fully
charged and nearby fire
extinguisher on hand
within the immediate
cooking area. Follow the
instructions on the label
when using it and remember to call 9-1-1 after
a fire accident,” Richards
said.
Other Thanksgiving
safety tips from the Fire
Dept. include:
 Stay in the kitchen
when cooking on the
stovetop to keep an eye
on the food.
 Stay in the home
when cooking turkey and
check on it frequently.
 Make sure kids stay
away from hot food and
liquids. The steam or
splash from vegetables,
gravy or coffee could
cause serious burns.
 Keep the floor clear

as toys or bags.
 Keep knives out of
the reach of children.
 Ensure that cords
from items such as electric knifes, coffee makers,
plate warmers or mixers are not dangling off
the counter within easy
reach of a child.
 Keep matches and
utility lighters out of the
reach of children.

 Make sure smoke
alarms are working by
pushing the test button.
 Keep children away
from the stove. The
stove will be hot and kids
should stay three feet

“Always remember to
change your batteries
on your smoke detectors
twice a year and test
them monthly,” Richards
said. “Following these
fire safety tips will help
ensure you have a safe
and delicious Thanksgiving meal.”

For many, the kitchen
is the heart of the home,
especially during the
Thanksgiving holidays.
Large sums of time are
devoted to prepping
meat, measuring spices
and enduring the tearful
vapors of onions; all for
one grand meal. Unfortunately, fire safety hazards
at home are at their peak
for many families during
this time.
Thanksgiving is the
leading day of the year
for home fires involving
cooking equipment, according to Fred Richards,
1st Special Operations
Civil Engineer Squadron
fire inspector.
One of the factors
leading to this family
holiday being such a fiery
safety concern is turkey
fryers, and not knowing
the difference in various
cooking oils.
Turkey fryers that use
oil can be devastating
to personnel if they’re
not careful. These fryers use large quantities
of cooking oil, heated to
temperatures as high as
350 degrees Fahrenheit
or more.

in a portion of the daily mission. During these missions,
the 1st SOW teamed up with
its counterparts from the
Navy to gain valuable training with joint special operations members.
“Our joint partners from
the U.S. Naval Special War-
fare Command have been
very supportive,” said Lt.
Col. Phil Forbes 1st Special
Operations Air Operations
Squadron commander.
“There was a full Air Force
and Navy partnership during this exercise.”
The ground party mis-
sions took place at Naval
Air Station North Island,
Calif., and the air operations were conducted out of
MCAS Miramar.
During this exercise,
the 1st SOW operated on
five airfields and used two
airspaces for live-fire and
airdrop bundles.
“We wanted to go somewhere we had never been
before, to seek out a new
challenge,” Forbes said.
“This environment has the
ranges that allow us to deploy our weapons systems
to the fullest.”
Forbes said at the end of
the exercise that 1st SOW
members proved to be proficient and ready for deployment any time, any place.
“This exercise is very
beneficial to everyone involved,” Forbes said. “Not
only is it readying us for any
pop-up contingency that
we may have to support
but you can see the proficiency of our people when
they go downrange – it
feeds into their capability
when they go into an existing command and control
structure.”

Exercise Carbonite Archer focused on the wing’s
ability to deploy aircraft and
personnel and to stand-up
its warfighting capability

“We exercise our capabilities by going to different
places and working with different airfields, allowing for
training options not available back home,” said Maj.

one of the more challenging
exercises the 1st SOW has
put on because we had the

Lejeune vets gain by knowing details of 2012 toxin law
post-deployment
health for
the VA’s Office of Public Health.
Yet it
was only
last month
that VA
began accepting
applications from family
members requesting payment or reimbursement
for private sector care to
treat 15 conditions that the
law links to the toxin exposure at Lejeune. They are:
cancer of lung, esophagus,
breast, bladder or kidney;
leukemia; multiple myeloma; myelodysplastic
syndromes; renal toxicity;
hepatic steatosis; female
infertility; miscarriage;
scleroderma; neurobehavioral effects or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
To qualify for coverage,
family members must
show they spent at least
30 days at Lejeune or in
utero with mothers there
from Jan. 1, 1957, to Dec.
Tom
Philpott
31, 1987.
VA will cover any medical costs not covered by
other health insurance but
only for treatment of those
ailments. VA also will make
retroactive payments for
such care, but only back
to March 26, 2013, the date
Congress funded the 2012
law through a separate appropriations bill.
Lejeune veterans with
out-of-pocket health care
costs for any one of the 15
conditions are not eligible
for retroactive reimbursement, Walters explained.
That’s because the law
presumes VA has provided
care to them since the law
was signed. And the law
doesn’t provide for retroactive coverage before that
date.
The law’s greatest weakness for many
Lejeune families is that
it doesn’t compensate for
deaths or illnesses they
believe resulted from contaminated water.
“This is a huge issue
for these people. They
want to be compensated,”
Walters said. “The law only
provides for health care. A
lot of people get those two
things confused.”
VA needed two years to
start family member cover-
age, she said, because VA
effectively had to create
a supplemental health
insurance plan by writing
rules, hiring clinical care
reviewers, creating computer systems and billing
mechanisms, and developing a method to transmit
medical records from civilian doctor offices to VA’s
financial service center for
review.
“We’re been in the business of providing health
care to veterans for a very
long time. It’s why we exist,” Walters said. “But
providing health care or
medical services to family members is somewhat
new business. That’s why
it took a while to flesh out
the program, figure out
how exactly we were going
to comply with the law and
provide health care [coverage] to family members.”
(To apply online, visit:
https://www.clfamilymembers.fsc.va.gov.)
Many Lejeune vets still
may not know that the 2012
law grants them access to
VA healthcare if they spent
at least 30 days there over
those 31 years — even if
they don’t have one of 15
illnesses listed. Word is beginning to spread, however.

A 2012 law that requires
VA to cover healthcare of
former Marines, sailors
and family members with
ailments linked to 1957-to1987 water contaminations
at Camp Lejeune, N.C.,
continues to surprise segments of the impacted
population.
Some of the law’s details bitterly disappoint
those who believe they’ve
been harmed by exposure
to poisons. But thousands
of veterans who served at
Lejeune during that era
have gained access to VA
healthcare and likely don’t
know it yet.
The quirkiness of parts
of the Caring for Camp
Lejeune Families Act is
coming into sharper focus
as the Department of Veterans Affairs takes its final,
long-awaited steps to fully
implement the complex
statute.
“Since the day the law
was signed [Aug. 6, 2012]
VA began providing health
care to Lejeune veterans,”
said Dr. Terry Walters,
deputy chief consultant for
16,320 Lejeune vets had
applied for VA healthcare
citing the law; only 1231
were receiving care for
one of the toxin-related
conditions.
The Marine Corps estimates that up to a million
veterans and dependents
lived or worked at Lejeune
while the water was contaminated. Many of these
vets already were eligible
for VA healthcare because
of service-connected ailments or financial need.
But the law made many
more eligible who otherwise wouldn’t be.
Some might perceive
this as a windfall but the
law also creates gaps. For
example, it provides no
health benefits to reservists who trained for months
at Lejeune but today lack
official “veteran” status,
which the law requires,
because they never were
called to active duty for at
least 180 days.
“I have a gentleman
with scleroderma who was
on active duty for training
at Camp Lejeune who I
can’t help,” Walters said. “I
want to help him but, because we are implementing the law [as written], my
hands are tied.”
The law also doesn’t
help former civilian employees at Lejeune who
have one or more of the 15
conditions but no health
care coverage.
“Did they drink the
water? Yes of course they
did,” Walters said. A recent
study by the Agency for
Toxic Substance and Abuse
Registry found elevated
risk of death for Lejeune civilians from some types of
cancers in comparing mortality rates with civilians
who had worked at Camp
Pendleton, Calif., during
the same period.
Advocates for Marines,
sailors and their families,
and lawmakers who fought
for passage, know about
the law’s quirks. They still
view it as an important first
step to helping families
impacted by contaminants
that the Navy Department
had failed for years to
acknowledge.
Sen. Richard Burr (RN.C.) and Rep. Brad Miller
(D-N.C.) had high hurdles
to clear to get any Lejeune
bill passed, including resistance to new entitlement
spending amid a national
debt crisis and no conclusive scientific finding that
toxins at Lejeune caused
the many ailments reported by former Marine Corps
families.
“Statistically speaking,
there has been nothing really solid” to show the toxins caused diseases among
Lejeune’s population of
that era, said Walters.
“There has been hints,”
she added.
Certainly the water was
fouled by trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene,
benzene and vinyl chloride,
which in high concentration can cause health
problems. But “the science
to show whether drinking
the contaminated water results in cancers or adverse
health effects is just not
mature enough,” Walters
said. Given the difficulty
“to connect the dots,” she
said, Congress voted “to
provide some measure
of healing, basically, of
the injury to families and
their active duty service
members.”
The law’s intent is to
get medical care to veterans and afflicted family
members who have no
other healthcare options.
But the law also states that
it does so “notwithstanding
that there is insufficient
medical evidence to conclude that such illnesses or
conditions are attributable
to such service.”
