Be thankful for contributions of military spousesCOL. AARON BURGSTEIN | AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Editor’s Note: Air Force Col. Aaron “Chewy” Burgstein wrote this

unpublished commentary in the fall of 2014 while undergoing medical treatment for a brain tumor. He unfortunately passed away on Jan. 27, 2015. In recognition of Military Spouses Appreciation Day on May 21 and Memorial Day on May 31, Air Force News is publishing Col. Burgstein’s commentary in remembrance of his contributions to Air Force Public Aff airs and as a reminder of the timeless contributions made by military spouses every day around the world.

In my nearly 20 years of military service, I have moved 12 times. It is more frequent than most service members, but yet not that unusual. Along the way in my career, I picked up a spouse. She has moved a total of nine times in our 13 years of marriage. Our children are just breaking into double digits and they have moved six times.

As we have moved from year to year, I like to think I have appreciated the diffi culties my family has faced. We move into a new area, I start a new job, get a new home, and meet new people. Oftentimes, I have to be in my job right away with no break. Luckily, my wife has been able to set up our house on her own when this happens. In fact, since marriage, my wife has taken care of nearly everything

outside of my work. For each of our moves, she has found us a house, made it a home, found our two girls a school, a community and activities, dentists, doctors, and sometimes even a group of friends. All of this while taking care of them during the move.

As said, I appreciate all that my family faces, but this year I have seen it as so much more than I ever knew. During this last move, I am viewing the process from a completely diff erent vantage point. Because of a medical condition, I am unable to work for a period of time and we have had to move to a location with specialized doctors. That situation is a whole other article, but for our purposes here, I will focus on what I have learned that I believe many can relate to.

The amount of work that goes into setting up a home -- not a house mind you, but an actual home -- that the family will enjoy and feel comfortable in is amazing. And our spouses do this every few years, generally on their own. Yes, you think you know, but there is more to it than we active-duty folks realize. Our spouses start research the minute we give hints as to where we will be. Sometimes, they have months to plan, sometimes merely weeks. For example, in my family’s last move, we had only days to prepare for an overseas move. Our spouses look for good school districts. They fi nd aff ordable housing. They discover the new karate or ballet studio.

They get on the Tricare site or fi nd online resources to fi nd the best doctors, dentists and even hair dressers. They make sure to collect records for the kids’ medical portfolios so their moving history is complete. They are there when the movers arrive and place the furniture and knick-knacks and artwork in such a way that it looks like you have always lived in that house. They model a positive attitude about the move when the children start to miss their friends. Maybe you knew all of this already. Maybe you have already thanked your spouse, but there is more.

Each time my family moves, I walk into my offi ce. I have a network of peers with whom I can interact each day. I am assigned doctors and people to help me get settled into the new location. I have everything I need right there on the base, from restaurants to a gym. My support network is always there waiting for me when I arrive.

This year, I am seeing what it is like without that built-in network. I am watching as my wife tries to fi nd summer activities for the girls in a place that is unfamiliar. I watch as she puts herself out there into the community every day. She reaches out to people who already have a network. Some respond, some do not. I see her struggling to establish new friendships and new ties. She does all of this with the knowledge that this is temporary. She will have to do it all over again in one year.

Our spouses also face the challenge of what we call “location friends,” essentially friends who are there when you’re living near them, but once you move away, the contact fades, then disappears. That can be tough. Social media certainly helps people keep in touch, but when you invest time and energy building those relationships, only to see them falter when you move away, it can be quite disheartening. To repeat this year after year, knowing there’s almost always another move in the future can take its toll.

So, this year, I’m thankful for the opportunity to see what my spouse has to go through – not that she has to go through it, although she does so with grace and a great attitude. Rather, I’m thankful to know and have a better understanding and appreciation of her challenges. So the next time you move, as you benefi t from that built-in network, remember that your spouse is building that network on his or her own. Only one month is dedicated to military spouse appreciation. Be sure to appreciate and understand what it is they are truly going through every day.

AF announces Squadron Revitalization Idea SiteSECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air

Force offi cials developed a

crowdsourcing/idea website to leverage knowledge and expertise from Airmen in the

HEALTH & OUTDOORS

PRAIRIE ADVENTURESBY PATRICIA STOCKDILL

“I would say outright poaching where they take something out of season.”

It only comes around ev-ery few years and it typically draws a heck of a crowd of buyers and observers when it does.

“It” is the Report All Poachers auction of hunt-ing, fi shing, and trapping equipment, and associat-ed gear confi scated when game violators are convict-ed of their crime and have items confi scated as part of the penalty for killing the public’s wildlife resource and violating game laws.

The 2017 auction at the North Dakota State Fair Center 4-H Hall May 20, Minot, features the usual array of prized family fi re-arms someone had confi s-cated because they couldn’t follow the law. It features some nice compound bows. “I mean some really nice bows,” emphasized Report All Poachers spokesman Pat Lothspeich.

People can bid on more than 60 fi rearms, including handguns and shotguns, an array of rods and reels, coolers, knives, and the list goes on and on – what-ever a person used to aid in their crime. “We’ve got literally dozens and dozens of tree stands,” Lothspeich added. In many cases they were confi scated after be-ing left in places such as Game and Fish Depart-ment Wildlife Management Areas or other public ar-eas and weren’t removed by the deadline – or never claimed.

As in past years, there are a couple of big-ticket items. This year the list in-cludes a 2004 Honda RTRX 450 FM ATV and 2002 Po-laris Edge 600 snowmobile.

Heck, a lucky bidder could even get some .22 ammunition, which is ever so popular nowadays.

The North Dakota Wild-life Federation coordinates the Report All Poachers program and auction of confi scated items. Auction proceeds fund RAP re-wards and its promotional projects, such as a traveling RAP trailer.

The trailer shows peo-

ple fi rst-hand some of the beautiful wildlife poach-ers illegally killed over the years. It helps underscore that poaching is still a prob-lem, Lothspeich explained, here in North Dakota and around the world.

It also shows that people are caught.

And when they do, they may end up paying a hefty price.

Sometimes convicted poachers show up at the auction to try to buy back the item or items they lost when convicted.

The last auction in 2014 drew 600 bidders and many other observers, Lothspeich described. Organizers moved the auction to the State Fair facility in Minot that year to accommodate the large crowds it attracts, he added.

When people call the Re-port All Poachers number, (800) 472-2121 or (701) 328-9921, they oftentimes don’t even want a record, Lothspeich described.

Instead, they simply want to report a violation.

When a reward is given it’s based on the sever-ity and species involved in the conviction. The high-est amount ever awarded - $2,000 - involved poach-ing more than 50 big game animals near Medora.

When reporting a viola-tion callers can assist game wardens by providing time, location, vehicle description – including make, model, color, and especially li-cense number – as soon as possible. However, even second-hand information is better than nothing, Loths-peich said.

And don’t forget, sadly game violations occur year-around. Every year, RAP re-ceives 30 to 40 calls.

And sometimes they net more gear for an upcoming RAP auction.

Don’t miss the 2017 RAP auction – there may or may not be bargains but it ben-efi ts wildlife and the public’s resource.

Viewing opens at 10 a.m.

– Report All Poachers spokesman Pat Lothspeich discussing the most common reasons game violators have equipment confi scated

when convicted.

Only in North DakotaNORTH DAKOTA LEGENDARY

BISMARCK, N.D. – Looking to do something diff erent

this May? North Dakota is a one-of-a-kind place off ering travelers a range of only-here things to do. Get acquainted with the state’s pristine, rugged outdoors on a hiking trail or bike path. Learn about the deep history of this prairie state which has seen the likes of dinosaurs, nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, as well as Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery. Delve into the rich culture that is North Dakota today, whether at a museum, a restaurant or community coff ee shop.

An Array of ActivitiesTake advantage of North

Dakota’s healthy wind supply and fi ll the sky with colorful kites at a kite festival (http://www.skyfestnd.com/). Get in step with runners at the Fargo Marathon (www.fargomarathon.com) or take part in Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day at Sleepy Hollow Theatre and Arts Park in Bismarck (https://www.facebook.com/events/442390746096337/). Catch glimpses of reemerging wildlife in its natural habitat at a state park or at North Dakota’s treasured Theodore Roosevelt National Park (https://www.nps.gov/thro/index.htm). The National Park Service loans visitors Fun Packs (binoculars, guide books and activity sheets) at the visitor center, so pick one up and help the kids earn a Junior Ranger badge (https://www.nps.gov/thro/planyourvisit/justforkids.htm). Art abounds in North Dakota, just not always in the most traditional forms. Explore the Enchanted Highway in the western

part of the state to see some of the world’s largest metal sculptures, including a tin family (http://www.ndtourism.com/regent/attractions/enchanted-highway). In Minot, visit an exquisite replica of a Norwegian Stave Church at the world’s only outdoor museum devoted to featuring all fi ve Nordic countries (http://www.ndtourism.com/minot/attractions/scandinavian-heritage-park). Fishing season is year-round in North Dakota, so spend an afternoon learning more about the state’s diff erent fi sh species at the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery and Aquarium (http://www.ndtourism.com/riverdale/attractions/garrison-dam-national-fi sh-hatchery-and-aquarium). A wetlands trail near the hatchery provides a unique perspective into the value of wetlands and aff ords views of a portion of Garrison Dam.

A Distinctive PastTravelers today have many

opportunities to learn about the state’s earliest residents. Dinosaurs were here fi rst and several museums and sites comprehensively educate visitors on North Dakota’s prehistoric past (http://www.ndtourism.com/best-places/8-stops-north-dakota-dinosaur-tour). To learn more about ways Native American tribes thrived on the vast and sparse plains, stop at Mandan’s Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park (http://www.parkrec.nd.gov/parks/falsp/falsp.html), which is also the site of On-A-Slant Mandan Indian Village. Tour reconstructed earthlodges and stop at the visitor center to see artifacts from the site. Washburn’s Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center (http://www.fortmandan.com/plan/lewis-and-clark-interpretive-center/) focuses on another

point in North Dakota’s varied history and highlights the historical events and sites from the Corps of Discovery’s journey through the area. The Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora has an extensive collection of permanent and traveling western culture exhibits and a top-notch gift shop (http://www.northdakotacowboy.com/). Get lost in time and place roaming the must-see exhibits at the North Dakota Heritage Center and State Museum (https://statemuseum.nd.gov/) in Bismarck.

A Unique CuisineGood food is not hard

to fi nd in North Dakota. Statewide agriculture provides local chefs with fresh, farm-to-table ingredients. Visit Pirogue Grille, Peacock Alley or Terra Nomad in Bismarck to taste the fl avors of bison, pheasant and crisp fi eld greens, Taylor Made BBQ in Mandan - which recently opened to rave reviews – features North Dakota meats on its menu. Join patrons of the 80-year-old Bismarck Tavern in downtown Fargo for a truly genuine, old-school pub vibe. Stop in at local diners and cafes in towns like Linton, Lisbon, Hettinger or Hague to interact with locals and savor regional favorites like knoephla soup or kuchen (German for ‘cake’).

TAUBE MUSEUM OF ART

Taube introduces two new exhibitions! A testament to growth and feminine identity

The Taube Museum of Art Main Gallery

is featuring Art 50! exhibition celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the North Dakota Council on the Arts. Art 50! is the traveling portion of this two part exhibit. The traveling exhibit features “50 artists for fi fty years – each artist a testament to growth of the arts in North Dakota, a snapshot of the present and a hope for the arts in the future of our state. Artists emerging, as well as seasoned, take their place in the history of this great state, and their fi ne art works showcase the diversity among them and the connection they have to North Dakota.” According to Linda Olson of the North Dakota Art Gallery Association and the curator of the exhibit, both 2-D and 3-D works by artists from all four corners of the state are on display through June 2, 2017. Just a few of the artists included in the exhibit are: Susana, Amundarain (Minot), Bradley J. Bachmeier (Fargo), Bennett Brien (Belcourt), Kaye Burian (Manning), Dean Colin Fay (Gackle), Cris Fulton

(Bowman), Pat Gerlach (Wing), Guillermo Guardia (Grand Forks), Sabrina Hornung (Jamestown), Brian Hushagen (Bismarck), Anna Jacobson (Wales), Terry Jelsing (Rugby), Ali La Rock (Bismarck), Nelda Schrupp (Lakota), and Linda Whitney (Valley City).

The Lower Gallery features Canadian Artist Lindsay Arnold’s exhibition ‘Tedium’ through June 2nd. ‘Tedium’ is a series of detailed drawings of hand-made doilies exploring feminine identity. Through the doily, Arnold investigates the issues of aging and perfection and its role in the feminine identity and value. Using ink, watercolour and pencil crayon, Arnold renders her doilies in various sizes and degrees of disrepair. The end result is a Trompe L’oeil that uses the strokes of her pen to imitate the crocheted knots, loops, and chains of the original.

Arnold is intrigued by issues of feminine identity, the myth of perfection, and perceived expectations of self. As a wife and mother she fi nds herself inundated with messages about what

she should aspire to have, such as: the perfect house, the perfect family, the perfect ageless face. Her work is a response to those behaviours and compulsions related to striving for and maintaining a faultless appearance. Arnold says, “I use drawing and mixed media to explore self-administered repression, intrasexual enforcement, and the creation of identities through material objects and artifi ce.”

A public reception will be held on Thursday, June 1 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. Free and open to the public. Museum and Gift Shop hours: Tues – Fri 10:30 – 5:30 pm, Sat 11:00 am – 4:00 pm or by special appointment. There is no charge for admission, but contributions are accepted to help the Taube Museum fulfi ll their mission of enriching lives through the visual arts.

These exhibitions are made possible with support from the North Dakota Council on the Arts.

Many fans will have the same giddy reaction at the

return of Guardians of the Galaxy, the 2014 blockbuster about a ragtag, Robin Hood-ish crew of Marvel Comics space mercenaries. The gang from the original, which raked in more than $773 million at the box offi ce, is also all aboard for the sequel, including writer/director James Gunn.

Leading the pack again is Chris Pratt as the cocky, roguish pilot Peter Quill, who still has an “unspoken thing” for the emerald-skinned she-assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana). Former professional wrestler Dave Bautista is a man-mountain of red-tattooed muscle as Drax (the Destroyer), whose hearty laugh sounds like it could rattle the rings around Saturn. Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), the mouthy raccoon genetically altered to become a master of weaponry and fi ghting, is given his own mini-story spinoff —which includes an especially zesty verbal spar with a dreadlocked baddie named Taserface (Chris Dowd, who plays Toby Damon on TV’s This is Us).

And even though you really can’t tell, that’s Vin Diesel once more providing the voice of Baby Groot, the new, little-sprout incarnation of the hulking

tree creature that was part of the Guardians crew in the fi rst fi lm.

Baby Groot pretty much steals the show—and certainly every scene in which appears, dancing, wiggling, running, grunting or simply saying the only thing he ever says: “I am Groot.”

This time around, the Guardians get into serious trouble when Rocket double-crosses some gold-skinned aliens, the Sovereigns, led by the imperialistic Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki). That sets off an intergalactic bounty hunt by the Ravagers, a group of motley thieves, smugglers and space pirates.

But Peter Quill’s long-lost father, Ego (Kurt Russell), zooms to the rescue. When he takes the Guardians to his fabulous celestial home, a world he created, he lays the news on them: He’s actually a cosmic deity, a “celestial.” That makes Peter, his spawn, a bona fi de star child.

“You’re…a god?” asks the incredulous Peter.

“Small g, son,” says Ego. “At least on days I’m feeling humble.”

The matter of Peter’s mixed DNA—his mother was an Earthling who died of a brain tumor when Peter was a child—looms large. And as most everyone knows, family matters can be complicated.There’s a diff erence and

a distinction between fathers and daddies, Peter is reminded by Yondu (Michael Rooker), the blue-skinned bandit who raised him. And Gamora is reunited with her sister, the cybernetically enhanced Nebula (Karen Gillan, Dr. Who’s Amy Pond), who has some major childhood grudges she still wants to settle.

AFLCMC awards major long range radar contractBENJAMIN NEWELL | 66TH AIR BASE GROUP PUBLIC AFFAIRS

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. (AFNS) -- The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center here awarded the Raytheon Company a $52.6 million contract May 11, 2017, for the three-dimensional expeditionary long-range radar system.

The 3DELRR system will replace the aging AN/TPS-75, or Tipsy 75, as the principal Air Force ground-based sensor for long range surveillance, detection and tracking of aerial targets in support of theater commanders.

“Our warfi ghter customer has been waiting to replace its aging AN/TPS-75 for a long time,” said Col. Michael Harm, the AFLCMC-Hanscom’s senior materiel

leader and program manager for 3DELRR. “Awarding the 3DELRR contract is a huge step toward that end.”

The 3DELRR will enhance battlespace awareness through detection and reporting of highly maneuverable, small radar cross section targets. Moreover, it will provide air controllers with a precise, real-time picture of suffi cient quality to conduct control of individual aircraft under many operational conditions.

“Our charge is to deliver a modern and sustainable 3DELRR capability to operators and maintainers in the fi eld,” said Lt. Col. Michael Alexander, the AFLCMC-Hanscom’s materiel leader and deputy program manager for

3DELRR. “We are excited about what the future holds, particularly as it relates to the performance and aff ordability of 3DELRR.”

The contract was originally awarded in October 2014, but the program re-entered source selection due to protests and appeals. The solicitation was amended in 2016 to include full-rate production options in order to maximize benefi ts of a competitive environment and set the table for faster fi elding of capability after government testing. Full replacement of the AN/TPS-75 systems is expected by 2029.

“Air dominance doesn’t happen without tactical command and control,” said Lt. Col. Johnny McGonigal, the 729th Air Control Squadron commander at Hill AFB, Utah. McGonigal’s unit currently operates the Tipsy 75 and will eventually fi eld its replacement, the 3DELRR. “At any minute, of any day there’s an Air Operations Center relying on tactical C2 provided by airborne assets like the E-3

Sentry (AWACS) or E-8C Joint STARS, and/or ground-based radar provided by a control and reporting center, which is able to be more persistent once established.”

According to program managers, the new award balances radar performance with long-term sustainability and maintainability. In addition, 3DELRR incorporates exportability features and open systems architecture early in the design to reduce per-unit production and total life costs.

“3DELRR will off er improvements over older equipment, some of which still contain vacuum-tube technology,” said McGonigal. “We’re really going from the analog age to digital, and that’s going to make us even more eff ective.”

The contract award covers the engineering and manufacturing development of three production representative units, but allows the ability to exercise options for low-rate production, interim

contractor support, and full rate production when appropriate.

“From both an operational and life cycle sustainment perspective, 3DELRR will greatly improve our current capability,” said Alexander. “It will incorporate an upgradeable open systems architecture.”

In addition to improving battle space awareness, 3DELRR is designed to be readily transportable, decreasing the time between a combatant commander’s request for persistent, ground-based command and control, and when it can be delivered.

An AN/TPS-75 radar rests on the back of a transport vehicle at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, Mich., July 29, 2015. The AN/TPS-75 radar is capable of pro-viding coverage of more than 200 nautical miles in every direction and detecting aircraft as high as 95,000 ft. Following release of a contract award May 11, 2017, the radar, dat-ing to the Vietnam War era and con-taining vacuum tube technology, will be replaced by Raytheon Company-built three dimensional expedition-ary long-range radars by 2028.
