Stay fit through holidays with strength training ‘Making It Happen’ one Airman at a time
By Kevin Gaddie
By Brig. Gen.
David Harris
Team Eglin Public Affairs
96th Test Wing commander
The free Muscle Max strength
training class at the Fitness Annex is available to help anyone with
base access maintain their fitness
through the holiday season and
year-round.
“This class offers a full body,
balanced workout,” said Alison
DeCaro, health promotion coordinator at Eglin’s hospital and class
instructor. “When someone comes
to me wanting strength training to
improve their fitness, I refer them
to this class to learn proper form
and technique.”
The class targets the major
muscle groups, utilizing dumbbells, body weight, medicine balls
and weighted bars, all of which help
with core stability and balance, said
DeCaro, who has been teaching
some form of the class here for 18
years.
Tech. Sgt. Adrienne Tarin-Yatco,
of the 96th Aerospace Medicine
Squadron, has attended the class
for two years.
“I’m more of a cardio person,”
she said. “I like to run a lot, but
I also need to incorporate building and strengthening my muscles.
The class helped target different
parts of my body that I previously
neglected.”
DeCaro said the strength training class is great for someone just
starting out, a service member
needing a little help to pass their
fitness test, or a retiree who wants
to maintain fitness in their later
years.
Janet Torrey, wife of retired
Earlier this year, I
asked our former Command Chief Marcus
Snoddy to work with our
Public Affairs office to
create a 96th Test Wing
mission video that demonstrates our mission
accomplishment as a unified wing.
While the activation
of the 96th Test Wing occurred more than two
years ago, the transition
to the largest wing in the
Department of Defense
raised many challenges
we continue to work
through even today. My
goal is to see us move
away from former organizational ties and focus on
the 96th Test Wing as we
set a path toward even
greater success in the
future.
The video — and a related ongoing campaign
— have been created to
deliver the message of
our united Test Wing and

Janet Torrey, wife of retired Air Force Lt. Col. Paul Torrey, performs dumbbell chest presses at the Muscle
Max strength training class at the Fitness Annex at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The class is available to help anyone with base access maintain their fitness through the holiday season and year-round.
Air Force Lt. Col. Paul Torrey, has
maintained her strength training
regimen for 12 years. “It keeps me
in shape and healthy,” she said. “I’m
getting older, and I need to stay flexible and active. I recommend this
class to anyone.”
DeCaro said physical activity
and fitness is her passion. Staying
physically fit decreases the chances for obesity; lowers stress, blood
pressure and cholesterol levels;
and promotes better eating habits,
she added.
The search for a solution for her
chronic back pain brought Ghada
Laroux, of the 782nd Test Squadron,
to the class a year-and-a-half ago.
“Since I’ve been coming to the
class, I don’t have pain anymore,”
she said. “My back muscles have
gotten stronger. It’s an awesome
class. I can’t wait for Tuesdays and
Thursdays to get here.”
DeCaro believes collective support makes strong individuals.
“People seem to work out better in a group environment, when
they’re supported by others,”
DeCaro said. “They tend to push
themselves harder in class, than
they would if they were out there
on their own.”
Class sizes vary during the holiday season depending on schedules, said DeCaro. The average
class size is 15 to 20 people, but
DeCaro usually sees an increase
after New Year’s Day.
Classes are held Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 11 a.m. to noon. For
more information, call 883-8020.

tion. I would like to thank all AFMC
As we gather with friends and
personnel for your exceptional dedi- family to celebrate, I encourage
everyone to remember those who
cannot be with their families and
loved ones this holiday season. Today the Air Force has more than
24,000 Airmen — military and civilian — deployed to preserve the gifts
of independence, freedom and democracy. Within Air Force Materiel
Command, we have more than 1,100
personnel deployed. I am humbled
by the service and sacrifice of these
Airmen and their families.
As a final note, please remember
that this joyous time of year also
brings increased risks and hazards,
especially on the roads. By exercising appropriate risk management
as you make your holiday plans, you
help ensure a safe season for yourself and your family.
Wolf and I wish you all a wonderful holiday and a happy new year. We
are proud to serve with you in the
world’s most respected Air Force.

commentary
show our Airmen how
their role fits into the
larger unit.
Our wing’s mission is
to support the warfighter
through the development
and acquisition of warwinning weapons and to
provide training resources for the warfighter.
More than 25,000 Airmen,
civilians and their families support this mission
on any given day, and in
order to succeed, every-
one must play their part.
Only when we all work
together can we, “Make It
Happen.”
This means every
group, squadron and unit
is crucial to creating the
framework of a successful test. Just look at some
of the stats mentioned
in the new video - the
Child Development Center contributes 133,750
hours in taking care of
our Airmen’s children,
our maintenance crews
load 1.5 million pounds
of munitions every year,
our Security Forces team
spends more than 1.3 million hours securing our
base and the numbers go
on and on. Over the next
six months, we will drive
this message further by
showcasing the efforts
of all our 96th Test Wing
squadrons and units
through our base website
and Team Eglin Facebook
page.
As the largest wing
in the Air Force, it takes
everyone’s contributions to fully support
the warfighter and ac-
complish our mission. So
first, thank you for your
contributions in making
our 96th Test Wing one of
the best in the Air Force.
Second, please take a
second to watch the video
and think about all you
do every day to “Make It
Happen.”

NICK TOMECEK | Daily News
The Armament Directorate outlasted Security Forces
Squadron in the flag football
championship match Dec.
11 here to win the title in an
overtime thriller, 25-24. The
narrow victory marked the
second consecutive championship win for EB.
EB, wearing red jerseys,
stuck to their running game,
while SFS, in blue jerseys,
threw the ball more. They
were both solid on defense.
However, neither team converted any of three extra
point opportunities each.
Also, neither team took advantage to score off interceptions in the second half.
SFS’ Marcus Brown intercepted EB quarterback,
Savier Stephens’, first pass of
the first half and was stopped
at the one-yard line. SFS
quarterback, Nicholas Ott,
then ran the ball in on the
first play from scrimmage for
a 6-0 lead.
SFS scored again on their
second possession, finishing
a five-play drive at 5:13, with
a one-yard shovel pass from
Ott to Zerrick Haymond to
widen the lead, 12-0.
EB finally got on the
scoreboard at the 3:25 mark,
when Stevens connected on
a touchdown pass to Steve
Jones, narrowing the gap to
12-6.
SFS bumped their lead to
18-6 with 54 seconds left in

the half, when Ott’s 23-yard
pass tipped off two EB defenders’ hands before being
caught by Rodney Dowell for
the touchdown.
“We’re playing good, but
we can do better,” Dowell,
the team captain, said at halftime. “We’re going back into
the game with the mindset
that the score is 0-0. We’re going to keep applying the pressure and win this game.”
EB was determined to
come back from the 12-point
deficit.
“We’ve got a short-term
memory,” said Dante Donahoo, team captain. “We’ll
do what we’ve been doing all
season - go back to the basics
and play good ball.”
EB mounted their second
half comeback by sticking to
their ground game.

They scored in four plays on

took the lead, 24-18.
EB then took possession
and scored in three plays on
a four-yard Stevens run.
Finally, Stevens successfully converted the extra

ICEVILLE — Chris
Sehman called it
on Thursday,
Dec. 11.
Air Force would whip Army,
and then they’d whip Navy.
After an inconsequential game
between the other two, they
would be awarded the Helen
Back Cup, winners of the second straight Boot Bowl.
But that’s not the point, is
it? The point is that more than
$15,000 was raised for The Fisher House.
The point is that somewhere
around 1,000 spectators would
matriculate in and out Niceville’s Eagle Stadium, showing
their support for at least one
of the three military branches.
The point, ultimately, is that,
on a day where, yes, there were
literal winners and losers in the
games themselves, every local
military branch won.
“It’s a great event,” said Kim
Henderson, the executive director of The Fisher House, which
received all proceeds from the
event. “We serve the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard,
Marines, and this is a great way
to bring them all together and
support The Fisher House and
have a good time.”
“Last year it was a lot bigger than everybody expected,”
Army tight end Chris Shortt
said. “It wasn’t hyped up like it
was this year. For those of us
who played last year, we knew it
would be a lot bigger.
“There wasn’t a Harley last
year.”
Yes, Boot Bowl II featured a
variety of new twists, including
a Harley giveaway, which added
to the grand total of funds
raised. Sehman, the owner of
Helen Back Café and brains
behind the event, overhauled
the entire day, adding sideline
reporters, TV crews and whimsical play-by-play announcing
from Rob Brown and Nick
Allegretto, among several
others.

“We’ve got more people here
than last year, more sponsors,
we’re going to raffle off that
Harley,” Sehman said. “The
real goal is about raising
money.”
This weekend, the first after
the close of the college football
regular season, is typically labeled Army-Navy weekend. It is
arguably — though not so when
speaking to any in attendance
at the Boot Bowl — the biggest rivalry in college football.
Sehman is not the first to put on
a flag football game mirroring
the annual game.
There is one in Fort Meade,
Md., just down the road from
the Naval Academy, that is in its
15th year running. He may be,
though, the first to include Air
Force in the tradition.
“It’s an Air Force town,” he
said. “It’s their field.”
And the Falcons made sure
everyone knew it.
They shut out Army, 34-0,
in the opener at 10 a.m. and
quelled a Navy upset bid in the
second game, rendering the
third and supposedly biggest
game, Army-Navy, moot in the
grand scheme of things.
“We want to make sure we’re
not the babies,” Air Force quarterback Craig Wilson said. “We
just like to come out here and
show these Army, Navy boys
how it’s done.
“It’s always nice to come out,
play football with the other services, raise a lot of money for
the Fisher House charity.”
As halftime of the Air ForceNavy game approached, with
Army needing a Navy win,
Shortt and Black Knight wide
receiver Matt Royalty were
asked if they had it in them to
root for a Navy football team in
order to preserve their chances
of winning.
Shortt laughed. “Absolutely
not.”
Even in a charity flag football game, some things never
change. For more information on The Fisher House,
contact Henderson at Kim@
fisherhouseemeraldcoast.org or

Thousands of careerminded personnel who first
entered service after Jan. 1
last year just dodged a bullet that would have devalued their retirement benefit
significantly.
TOBACCO PRICES RISING – The authorization bill
also blocks any attempt to
ban sale of tobacco products on base but also narrows the price discounts.
Cigarettes, cigars and
chewing tobacco are not to
be sold on base at prices
lower than the most competitive prices in the local
community.
Impacted will be Army
and Air Force exchanges
and commissaries where
tobacco products still can
be sold five percent below
the most competitive price
off base. In 2012 the Navy
Department ordered Navy
and Marine Corps stores
to raise tobacco prices to
match competitive local
prices.
Navy Secretary Ray
Mabus earlier this year
floated the idea of pulling all

Most insurance accepted including
United Concordia and MetLife
tobacco products from exchanges, commissaries and
ship stores. That led House
Republicans to insert bill
language to block such a
move. But in a deal cut with
Senate conferees last week,
the bill also declares that
on-base tobacco prices cannot be set lower than the
most competitive price off
base.
About 25 percent of military folks say they smoke,
a rate higher than found
among civilian peers. Studies blame this in part on
tobacco discounts. Critics
also find the 5-percent rule
ineffective, arguing that
discounts at Army and Air
Force stores actually average about 20 percent when
price comparisons include
all retail tobacco outlets.
The Defense Department estimates it spends
$1.6 billion a year on tobacco-related medical care.
It is committed to lowering
tobacco usage sharply by
2024. On-base tobacco sales,
however, totaled $711.4 million in 2012 and generated
profits of $125.7 million.
That’s money the military
plows back into its morale,
welfare and recreation
programs.
CHILD CUSTODY
PROTECTION – The new
defense policy bill also
amends the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act
(SCRA) to help protect
service members from
losing custody of children
due solely to military
deployment.
Rep. Mike Turner (ROhio) has fought for this
for almost a decade, facing stiff opposition from
family advocates, lawyers
and Defense officials who
say his bill is a solution in
search of a problem. They
argue it won’t help anyone
and could confuse military
families and drive up their
litigation costs.
The bill modifies SCRA
to say unequivocally that
state courts must not use
current or future deployments as a sole reason to
deny members child custody. It also says length of
temporary custody orders
when a custodial parent deploys should be for a period
justified by deployment, not
longer.
Attorney Mark E. Sullivan, an Army retiree and
family law expert who wrote
the military child-custody
law for North Carolina, said
neither he nor Turner nor

that these changes should
await the final report of the
Military Compensation and
Retirement Modernization
Commission, due in February. Appropriators echoed
that point in restoring commissary funding.
COLA MINUS 1 PERCENT – The plea to “wait
for the commission” was
used again in the authorization bill to delay adoption
of a COLA-minus-1 percent
formula aimed at dampening retirement costs of future members.
Congress last year
replaced the pearl of full
cost-of-living adjustments
in retirement for members
who entered service on or
after Jan. 1, 2014. Their COLAs, 20 years hence, were
to be set a percentage point
below annual inflation. The
new bill moves the date of
that change to impact only
members entering on or
after Jan. 1, 2016, giving
Congress time to meld this
idea with commission recommendations for reshaping future retirement.

This
week conferees shaping a final
defense appropriations bill that is part
of a massive spending package for the entire federal
government restored $90
million of the commissary
budget cut in the authorization bill.
“This essential funding
ensures that DeCA…will
continue delivering a core
benefit of military compensation,” said Patrick Nixon,
president of the American

In rejecting almost every Defense Department

House and Senate conferees negotiating a package to fund the Department
of Defense through September 2015 have protected
commissary operations by
restoring 90 percent of a
planned $100 million cut.
Once again lawmakers
thwarted a cost-saving
initiative targeting military
compensation and endorsed by the Joint Chiefs
as a way to dampen personnel costs so more dollars
can be spent on training,
weapon buys and other
readiness accounts being
victimized by arbitrary “sequestration” cuts.
Only last week House
and Senate conferees on
a different bill, the 2015

to $1.2 billion. DeCA said
it could absorb the knock

Christmas meal
commissary From page 6
could identify a single case
where a member in a child
custody fight would be
protected by this change to
SCRA.
So, Sullivan asked, “why
put a law on the books that
isn’t needed and can only
cause problems?”
Past defense secretaries
opposed the bill on advice
family law experts who said
it needlessly would create a
right of federal court review
in custody cases, driving
up legal costs for families,
bringing custody disputes
before judges having little
family law experience and
tipping outcomes in favor of
service members over the
interests of children.
But after Turner briefed
current secretary Chuck
Hagel, the department
dropped its opposition. The
language also was modified
to make clear that federal
courts still have no right
of action in child custody
matters.
“We think this is still unnecessary and potentially
harmful,” said Joyce Wessel
Raezer, executive director
of National Military Family
Association, with language
added that could “confuse
both service members and
judges.”
