AIRFEST 2014
MacDill conducts a media operations flight
by Senior Airman Jenay Randolph
6th Air Mobility Wing public affairs
Media agencies from around the city of
Tampa participated in a media operations
flight, March 12 at MacDill Air Force Base.
During the flight, a KC-135 Stratotanker conducted a simulated in-flight refueling training mission with six A-10 Thunderbolts from
Moody Air Force Base, Ga.
The KC-135’s four-man crew consisted of a
pilot, co-pilot, and two boom operators, along
with roughly 15 media personnel capturing
and documenting the mission through photographs, video and interviews. The crew allowed the aircraft to soar 20, 000 feet above
the ground at speeds of approximately 230
mph.
“It is crucial that we provide the Air Force
story to the community,” explains Terry Montrose, 6th Air Mobility Wing public affairs
deputy chief. “With only one percent of the
nation serving, it is vital that we enable more
advocates for the military.”
The flight was approximately four hours
long; and although there was no refueling
actually performed, the crew was allowed to
hone their skills and allow the media to experience one of the many missions of the Air
Force.

simulated in-flight refueling training mission with six A-10s.
“A lot of people never get to have this opportunity, and this is a great way to show
them where their tax dollars are going. I’m
glad I was able to get the opportunity,” said
Chris Urso, multimedia photographer. “It’s
my first time flying on this aircraft and it was
a great flight. I would do it again in two seconds.”

AIRFEST 2014
AirFest safety, security guidelines
AirFest is a time for families and friends to visit MacDill
and learn more about the military through various displays,
exhibits and demonstrations. However, there are certain
things individuals should be aware of in the event there is an
accident or an incident while they are here.
Suspicious Packages/Terrorist Incident
Since the events of Sept. 11, there is increased awareness
of the possibility of a terrorist attack. Individuals are reminded to follow the direction of military personnel in uniform if
such an attack were to occur. Remain aware of surrounding
areas and activities. If you see something suspicious or unusual, report it to a military service member in uniform right
away. Know where the main entrance is located and establish
a place to meet should you be separated. Keep all of your personal items with you during your visit to MacDill, your back
pack or purse left at a display may not look so innocent to the
next person who sees it lying there!
Aircraft Accident
During the two day AirFest, there is potential that an air-
craft accident could occur. Individuals should be informed
that there are many unseen hazards associated with aircraft
accidents. These incidents range anywhere from the release
of gases and vapors to unexploded ordnances; regardless of
whether the aircraft is carrying ammunition or not. Attendees, who are not trained and qualified as an emergency responder, are reminded that the best thing to do is evacuate
the area as directed and account for all family members. Individuals are reminded to keep young children with them at all
times. If the flightline, is evacuated follow the directions given
by military personnel in uniform.
Natural Disasters
Directions for tornadoes and lightning storms will be addressed if need be. Heat is a main concern for AirFest. Individuals are reminded to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of
water and limiting the amount of alcoholic beverage intake.
Use sunscreen and wear a hat if the top of your head is susceptible to sunburn. MacDill will have a first aid station located at Hangar 3 during AirFest. The AirFest will be full of
fun and excitement for the entire family. Safety is paramount
and although we do not expect that anything will happen, individuals are reminded to be aware of potential hazards and
proper procedure should something happen.

Phone and computer users; everyone is subject to monitoring
Special to the Thunderbolt
Many years ago thieves were the types of
people who wore dark masks and held up
banks or broke into houses taking precious jewelry and silverware. Now they have taken on
a whole new meaning and come in every form
imaginable.
Today’s thieves sneak into bank accounts, emails, cell phones, palm pilots and even landline telephones, all from the comforts of their
very own secret hideout. While this new way
of stealing is convenient for the thief, it has become a matter of national security for some.
For the military, securing classified information is top priority and every member of Team
MacDill must do their part to help keep that
information secure.
One friendly reminder to keep classified information disclosed can be seen every time the
phone rings and every time a base network
computer is logged on. Many people see it and
wonder why these notices exist. Well, it’s to remind people that they’re being monitored.
The Telecommunications Monitoring and As-
sessment Program requires all users of Department of Defense telecommunications systems
or devices to be informed that by using the DoD
device they are consenting to monitoring.
The purpose of the TMAP is to protect classified and operationally significant information
from unauthorized disclosure. One aspect of
the protection program is operational security.
TMAP is a key part of the Air Force’s OPSEC
efforts. Air Force Instruction 10-712 permits
monitoring of unsecured telecommunications
systems to determine vulnerability to hostile
signal intelligence exploitation. The TMAP
evaluates and reports on one of the major factors of OPSEC posture – the proper use of telecommunications equipment.
The Air Force uses numerous unsecured telecommunications such as telephones, radios and
computer networks subject to adversarial exploitation. But, during normal everyday use of
these unsecured systems, we can inadvertently
provide an adversary with information.
In turn, adversaries can easily monitor these
unsecured systems, which can provide enough
information to make DoD units, weapon sys-
tems, defenses, and operations vulnerable to attack.
The Air Force monitors unsecured DoD telecommunications and analyzes information to
identify and report OPSEC vulnerabilities and
their potential effects on military operations.
These reports provide operational commanders and planners with near real-time reports of
classified or sensitive information disclosures
that may adversely affect U.S. and allied operations.
To remind people not to say something they
may regret, those notice and consent to monitoring stickers are there to save us.
Plus, as a requirement, notification must be
given to all users of DoD telecommunications
systems or devices that they are to be used for
conducting official government business and
that all activities on them are subject to monitoring.
Legal reviews are conducted biennially during even numbered fiscal years to certify that
users of telecommunication devices have been
provided sufficient notice of consent to monitoring.
