command chief pushes out of comfort zone · 10/20/2011 · learn resume basics the next resume...

By Scott PraterSchriever Sentinel

When Randy LaCombe climbed up his first telephone pole during basic training, he did something totally out of his comfort zone.

As it turned out, climbing to extreme heights proved to be too far out of his comfort zone. As he prepares to retire after 28 years of service, 50th Space Wing Command Chief, Chief Master Sgt. Randy LaCombe recognizes that stretching beyond comfort is a theme

that has defined his Air Force career.Back in 1984, fresh out of high school,

LaCombe enlisted and signed up to be a telephone-pole linesman. During the first week of basic training he was asked to take a test. He put on a safety harness, climbed to the top of a telephone pole and was told to let go with one hand.

“That was enough for me,” he said. “I scaled back down, promptly walked to the personnel office and signed up to be a dental

assistant.”This was no civilian dental assistant job,

however. Working as a dental assistant in the Air Force meant deploying overseas, an aspect the young LaCombe enjoyed immensely.

“It was different,” he said. “There was no routine in day-to-day operations. I got to do dental work on people in the field — and it was a great time.”

Robert Montgomery had given up trying to communicate with federal veterans agencies. Multiple calls and conversations, he says, transformed into a fruitless and frustrating endeavor. As he struggled to make ends meet during the past year, that connection became even more important.

His solution revealed itself just a few min-utes after he walked into the 13th Annual Stand Down for Homeless Veterans Oct. 13. at the City Auditorium.

“I’m pretty sure I got back into the loop today,” Montgomery said as he toured the auditorium along with Navy Reservist, Petty Officer 1st Class Doug Correll, who escorted veterans throughout the auditorium. “I felt

shunned for a long time. I didn’t know if it was because I’m a Vietnam veteran or what, but I found some resources here. The people here showed me a lot of courtesy.”

More than 120 veterans took advantage of the stand down, loading up with winter coats, cloth-ing, boots, toiletries, flu shots and haircuts.

Ghosts! Goblins! Witches! Candy! For kids, these things add up to a fun-filled Halloween. They look forward to it every year and parents work hard to make it the best and scariest time ever. But as most parents can attest, nothing is scarier than a fun time that turns terribly wrong due to an accident. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, kids ages 5 to 14 are four times more likely to be killed as pedestrians on Halloween than on any other day of the year.

Some parents might say the best thing to do is to keep your kids safe and sound at home for Halloween, but chances are most kids would not agree. Talk about being dressed up with nowhere to go! The next best thing to do is to understand the possible risks and take action to keep your kids as safe as possible.

According to Safe Kids USA, the top five safety hazards on Halloween are:

No. 5 — Burns and eye injuries (attributed to improper costumes, toys, and candles)

No. 4 — Falls (attributed to improper costumes, poor lighting and running)

No. 3 — Drunk Driving (drunk driving on Halloween has surpassed drunk driving on New Year’s Eve!)

No. 2 — Non-Intersection Crossings (attributed to kids darting out into streets)

No. 1 — Pedestrian/Car Collisions (attributed to speed, distraction and poor visibility)

Parents and kids alike can do very simple things to ensure a safe Halloween for everyone. The following tips for both parents and kids were developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Safety Council.

Tips for Parents and Adults:• Supervise trick-or-treating for children under age 12.• Establish a curfew for older children.• Prepare homes for trick-or-treaters by clearing porches, lawns and sidewalks and by placing jack-o-lanterns away from doorways and landings.• Avoid giving choking hazards such as gum, peanuts, hard candies or small toys as treats to young children.• Inspect all candy for safety before children eat it. Although the risk that your child’s Halloween candy has been tam-

pered with is extremely low, there is also the chance that his or her candy is unwrapped or spoiled.• Parents and adults should ensure the safety of pedestrian trick-or-treaters.• Make sure children under age 10 are supervised as they cross the street.• Watch for children in the street and on medians.• Carefully exit driveways and alleyways.• Have children get out of cars on the curb side, not on the traffic side.• Drive slowly.• Avoid distractions while driving.• Do not drink and drive.

Tips for Kids:• Travel in small groups and be accompanied by an adult if under age 12.• Use flashlights, stay on sidewalks and avoid crossing yards.• Go only to well-lit houses and remain on porches rather than entering houses.• Carry a cell phone if unaccompanied and know how to reach a parent and how to call 911 in an emergency.• Wear clothing that is bright, reflective and flame retardant.• Consider using face paint instead of masks. (Masks can obstruct vision.)• Avoid wearing hats that will slide over eyes.• Avoid wearing long, baggy or loose costumes or oversized shoes to prevent tripping.• Use costume knives and swords that are flexible, not rigid or sharp.• Cross streets at the corner, use crosswalks (where they exist), and do not cross between parked cars.• Stop at all corners and stay together in a group before crossing.• Remember to look left, right, and left again before cross-ing the street.• Bring treats home before eating them so parents can inspect them.

Halloween is supposed to be a fun and exciting time for kids. On a night when many children spend hours in close proximity to cars as they navigate through neigh-borhoods gathering candy, pedestrian safety should be a top priority for both drivers and parents. In addition, taking the time to buy the right costumes and teaching your children Halloween safety rules will go a long way toward ensuring the most frightening thing they encounter is each other.

Firefighters tout prevention during outreach events50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Schriever Fire Department teamed up with the National Fire Protection Association Oct. 9 - 15 to let the community know: “It’s fire prevention week, protect your family from fire!” This year’s campaign focused on preventing the leading causes of home fires — cooking, heating and electrical equipment, as well as candles and smoking materials. Additionally, it urges people to protect their homes and families with life-saving technology and planning.

Commentary by Lt. Col. Fred Taylor

50th Space Communication Squadron commander

I recently finished reading a book called “I Dare You” by William H. Danforth that I’d like to share. Danforth died in 1955 as the CEO of the Nestle Purina Company, but he passed on insights that still apply today. He articulated a personal development construct to help people achieve their life goals. He calls his construct the “four-square model” and it is predicated on the assumption that you are teeming with ambition to take yourself to a bigger, richer, more plentiful place than you are now. Allow me to share with you my ver-sion of Danforth’s four-square model — one that balances the physical, emotional, intel-lectual and spiritual aspects of your life.

PhysicalThis will require will power and given all

the other demands on your time, maintaining a physical fitness regimen can be challenging. However, studies have proven that physical activity is a key stress coping tool for busy Americans. In addition to the long term health benefits, being in good physical shape will help you make better decisions, prevent injuries, increase awareness and help you pass your physical fitness test.

EmotionsEmotions determine the quality of our lives.

I define the emotional aspects of a person’s life to be the way you interact with friends, co-workers and our most intimate relation-ships. They are the things we care about most and often play a significant role in our critical decision making. Keeping promises to the

people we care about and sometimes, more im-portantly, keeping promises to ourselves lays the groundwork for an emotionally-centered and caring person. From that foundation, you can build a magnetic personality and develop the kind of personal power that will attract others to you.

IntellectualI consider intellect to mean learning the

success habits that will determine your fi-nancial health and job performance. These success habits can be learned through books

or experience, such as how to be efficient (Stephen Covey), how to win friends and influ-ence people (Dale Carnegie), setting financial goals (Robert Kiyosaki), and takings risks (Richard Branson). It is under this aspect that all the AF and non-AF training you’ve ever had make you more productive and help you earn a living wage. Developing your personal skills and growing yourself intellectually are certainly key characteristics of a successful leader, but be aware of the common pitfall of becoming unbalanced in this area.

SpiritualOften the spiritual side provides us with a

purpose for life. The spiritual side of a person is not always defined by the religious beliefs or morals that one follows. In my view, your spirit or soul defines your character. It is your energy, your conscience, your values and your faith. Because your spirit cannot be broken, it is the piece of you that endures even during the worst of times. Growing your spiritual side will only enhance the other aspects; draw meaning and motivation to build the physical, inspire the emotional and develop the intel-lectual aspects of your life.

Finally, I’d offer that you can’t develop or grow as a person alone. You need to be held accountable for your growth and a trusted support group will help you to celebrate the highs and also push you through the lows on your journey. I have found this construct to hold true when I’ve been both balanced and off-balance in my life. I hope it will apply to you, as well. I dare you to live a life with pur-pose and meaning. I dare you to live balanced between your physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual sides. I dare you to succeed.

I dare you to succeed

Lt. Col. Fred Taylor50th Space Communication Squadron commander


Schriever members selected for promotionThe Air Force announced the supplemental promotions for October. Congratulations to Schriever’s newest promotees!

Senior Airman Stephen Bradley, 50th Space Communications SquadronStaff Sgt. Christopher Jacobs, 50th Security Forces Squadron

50th Space Wing Public AffairsMore than 130 50th Space Wing members endured brisk

winds during the bi-monthly Ability to Survive and Operate training here Oct. 18.

Though the majority of Schriever’s personnel are de-ployed in place, enabling effective global warfighting in air, land, maritime and cyberspace domains, about 150 Schriever personnel are deployed around the world at any given time.

Wing members practice a four-man litter carry during the Self Aid and Buddy Care portion of the wing’s Ability to Survive and Operate training here Oct. 18.

Staff Sgt. Ryan Bates, 50th Security Forces Squadron trainer, assists 2nd Lt. Eric Lewandowski, 3rd Space Operations Squadron, during the weapons familiarization portion of the wing’s Ability to Survive and Operate training here Oct. 18.

But the event, sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs, had a bigger mission in mind: to help veterans obtain assistance of a more permanent variety.

Montgomery reconnected with organiza-tions that can help him obtain the services for which he is eligible. Other veterans were able to contact job-placement services, fill out applications to receive food stamps, find medical benefits and receive mental health and dental referrals.

Active-duty Airmen and civilian volun-teers from Schriever played a key role dur-ing the event, providing a warm greeting, a friendly smile and some essential guidance to help veterans navigate the services available throughout the auditorium.

Correll, an acquisition manager for the 50th Space Wing program management divi-sion, said it was his job to help the veterans who came through the door get the assistance they needed, from whatever organization could help them.

“I escorted one gentleman who needed information from the social services orga-nizations, from the VA,” Correll said. “He got a bus pass, a hot meal and some tips on

possible jobs. He even put on a new winter coat. Basically, he left here with the feeling that the system is not forsaking vets. He left with hope.”

Tech. Sgt. Danielle Gangadeen, 50th

Space Communications Squadron, was one of an estimated 50 Schriever volunteers at the event. She signed up to be an escort be-cause she wanted to give back to the veteran community.

“They’ve served their time and we need to show them that we care about and appreci-ate them,” Gangadeen said. “I escorted two veterans at the same time. They wanted to stay together throughout the process and we were able to connect on a military level. They shared their experiences and I told them a little about myself. They loved all the differ-ent stations.”

Her veterans, Roger and Doc, walked through the front door wearing ragged, torn and flimsy tennis shoes.

“Doc put on the new boots and was so happy with them that he wore them through the rest of the tour,” Gangadeen said. “This event provides a wake up call. I met veterans today who have been to Iraq, and have seen their friends die. They’ve experienced it all and now they need basic winter supplies. I just wish I could do more.”

The EL Paso County Homeless Veterans Coalition estimates that nearly 500 veterans are homeless in the Pikes Peak Region, while many more are living impoverished.

Anyone interested in volunteering for next year’s VA stand down should stay tuned to the base bulletin board for announcements. In the mean time, Schriever volunteers also serve one weekend day per month at the Marian House soup kitchen, downtown. To volunteer with this team call Jeff Graham at 567-7716.

Staff Report by 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

With winter weather looming, Schriever personnel need to know how to receive information about road conditions and base closures or delays.

The following is a reminder of the Snow Call process and procedures:

Snow Call proceduresThere are a variety of ways to find out current road con-

ditions or snow call decisions, call 719-567-SNOW (7669), check the Schriever website at http://www.schriever.af.mil/snowcallprocedures.asp, the 50th Space Wing Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/50spacewing , or check local media stations.

Early release, delayed reporting or base closure may be necessary when road conditions are hazardous or impass-able. These three conditions are defined as followed:

Early releaseNon-mission essential and non-emergency personnel

may depart their work location at a specified time before the end of the official duty day. The 50 Space Wing commander will specify the phasing intervals based on individual zip codes to avoid heavy traffic.

Base closureSchriever is closed. Military members and Department of

Defense civilians are not permitted to enter or leave the base. Anyone coming on base while closed will not be permitted

to leave until roads on Schriever AFB are safe for travel and are encouraged to remain on base until off-base roads are safe for travel. All mission essential personnel on base will remain in place until their replacements can safely make it to the base. Residents in community housing on base are not permitted to drive on base until all roads on Schriever AFB are safe for travel and are encouraged to remain on base until off-base roads are safe for travel. All Schriever events are cancelled until further notice.

Delayed reportingNon-mission essential and/or non-emergency essential

personnel have an additional amount of time to report for duty. Personnel should arrive at their duty station no later than two hours following their normal arrival time. Mission essential personnel should report for duty per normal schedule. All personnel should account for addi-tional travel time when departing for their duty station in order to arrive safely by the required time. Wing calendar events will pick up as scheduled at 9:30 a.m. Occasionally, delayed reporting may be directed to allow civil engineers time to clear on-base roads and parking lots. In that case, the delayed reporting instructions will include to report “no earlier than” a specified time.

Snow Call processThe 50 SW commander will make weather-related delayed

reporting, early release and base closure decisions for only one reason: safety. Factors used to determine safety in-clude: road conditions, snow or ice accumulation, visibility, weather forecast and the ability to access Schriever parking

lots and buildings after they have been cleared.Road conditions throughout Colorado Springs neigh-

borhoods where Schriever personnel live are also taken into consideration. More than 70 percent of Schriever personnel live east of Interstate 25, but elevations range from 5,900 to 7,700 feet. Determining safety starts with the on-duty 50th Security Forces Squadron and 50th Civil Engineer Squadron flight chiefs. The goal is to decide by 4 a.m. whether to delay, open as normal or close Schriever. The 50 SW commander makes the final decision based on all information provided.

After making the decision, the 50 SW Public Affairs office gets the word out to Schriever personnel via the base website at www.schriever.af.mil, the 50th Space Wing Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/50spacewing, the Snow Call hotline at 719-567-SNOW (7669) and local radio and television stations.

In Colorado, weather conditions can change rapidly, making the process challenging depending on the strength of the storm. Safety is a priority when making all reporting decisions. Commuters should take their time, drive defen-sively and always notify their supervisor if road conditions are more severe for their personal commute to Schriever and if they’ll need to arrive at work later than scheduled.

Finally, while leadership strives to make the best decision each and every time for all concerned, some areas will natu-rally be impacted more than others. It is rare that all 8,000 people working at Schriever AFB will be impacted equally so everyone should take responsibility for their personal safety and practice sound operational risk management.

Schriever Spotlight shines on...

Brandon MieraWhere are you from?I was born in the thriving metropo-

lis of Pueblo, Colo. but grew up in Colorado Springs, Colo.

What do you do?I am graphic designer and freelance

illustrator. I am a civilian working in the 50th Force Support Squardron. I also work with the Air Force Association, illustrating the annual Air Force Ball poster/program cover. And I’m also designing the regional Air Force Memorial located at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs. That memorial recently won the Gold Award for “Best Public Art” in the annual Gazette “Best Of” awards 2011.

Why did you decide to join or serve with the Air Force?

The U.S. Air Force is a class act. My father is retired military and I respect

the men and women serving and who have served this fine country in all military branches. It just worked out that I was lucky enough to work with the AF.

What do you look forward to the most each day?

Spending quality time with my family.

How do you contribute to the war-fighting mission?

You assist in getting the word out to our military community about im-portant Quality of Life programs like those that enhance fitness and readi-ness; the classes, support programs and emergency services offered by the Airman and Family Readiness Center; morale and recreation programs of-fered through Outdoor Recreation and so on.

As a dental assistant, he recovered the bod-ies of an Air Force pilot and a weapons officer of a crashed F-111. He saw and did things he would never see or do in a dental clinic.

“It wasn’t pleasant, but you know you’ve helped put families at ease,” he said.

While stationed at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. several years later, LaCombe considered separating from the AF. He even had an approved Palace Chase package in place.

“Thank God the Air Force was short on dental assistants at the time,” he said. “I had a buddy who had separated and he made it sound so good. At that point I had convinced myself that I had never let my hair grow, but looking back, I don’t think I was mature enough. It was, perhaps, the best thing for me to stay in.”

Six years later, the AF did have enough den-tal assistants, too many in fact, so LaCombe took another uncomfortable leap and re-trained into space systems operations.

“If you think about it, the mouth is a very small space,” he said. “I went from dental assistant to the vastness of space. Retraining was the best thing I ever did.”

Space proved to be very good for LaCombe’s career. The switch provided a different per-spective and also helped him understand the importance of every job in the AF.

After flying satellites for the 3rd Space Operations Squadron, he went on to serve as a crew chief and later as a crew evaluator.

Ironically, when he began his duties as the

50 SW command chief, he recognized that he was about to start something else out of his comfort zone.

“I’m an introverted person,” he said. “I like to do my own thing; work for myself so to speak.”

A month into his time here at Schriever, an old friend called to check up on him.

“During our time as chiefs together, Randy would always get fired up about something,” said Chief Master Sgt. Thomas Trottier, 21st SW command chief. “You’re not going to find a more painfully honest guy. He’s that guy who, ultimately, is not afraid to tell you what you need to hear.”

Communicating obviously wasn’t a prob-lem for LaCombe, but he said he had to work to get past a block.

“I had to force myself out of that comfort zone so I could get to know people,” he said. “Being a command chief has actually helped me be a better chief because I got to know all of the Airmen here and make a difference in their careers. That’s my job right? To be here to mentor all these enlisted folks and to make sure the wing commander knows what’s going on with them.”

LaCombe will say good bye to Schriever and the Air Force for good this week. Soon, he’ll move to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., where he’ll work as a civilian and spend much of his off-duty time hunting and fishing.

He departs with a few words of advice for those following in his footsteps as chiefs, non-commissioned officers and Airmen, “Know the priorities of the AF, take care of your people, be good mentors and wingmen, train your replacements, work hard and take care of yourself.”

Commentary by Senior Airman Samantha Salopek50th Contracting Squadron

“Every Airman has a responsibility to maintain an ac-ceptable military image, as well as the right, within limits, to express individuality through his or her appearance,” according to Air Force Instruction 36-2903.

On July 18, the Air Force released what they like to call a “facelift” to the Dress and Personal Appearance AFI 36-

2903. It addressed some key areas that were a little unclear to many military members.

Tattooing was a big topic of discussion. Is cosmetic tattoo-ing acceptable or does the 25 percent rule apply in physical training gear? Well, I’m pleased to tell you that for those who wish to tattoo permanent makeup on...go right ahead. Just ensure that it has a natural appearance and that it is conservative (paragraph 3.4.3, AFI 36-2903).

For individuals who are working out in long sleeves and

pants to hide large tattoos, fear no more. You are free to lose the pants and long sleeves and don the shorts and T-shirts. The 25 percent rule does not apply in PT gear (paragraph 3.4.2, AFI 36-2903).

Some questions have arisen concerning body piercings and ornamentation. I’m sorry to say that unless you are around family or are in privatized housing and not on of-ficial duty, remember we are a 24/7 work force; you will be unable to wear tongue, ear (except for females), lip or eye brow piercings (paragraph 3.5, AFI 36-2903).

Also, for individuals who wanted some gold “grillz” they will not be acceptable in uniform unless needed for medical or dental purposes (paragraph 3.5.4, AFI 36-2903).

Though I never understood the allure of body alteration, if individuals desire to file their teeth or split their tongue, you still can’t (3.6, AFI 36-2903). Sorry, I wouldn’t count on that changing anytime soon.

Now let’s clarify an issue that so many individuals think they know, when in actuality they do not. Female hair stan-dards, an everyday issue here it seems, must be at least one inch in length and no longer than the bottom of the collar (paragraph 3.1.4, AFI 36-2903). Yes, the female standard regulations state that hair may touch the collar; however may not extend past the collar. Max bulk of a bun is three inches, and can only be the width of the individuals’ head (I don’t know how anyone could manage to go wider than their own head width).

On a related note, nail polish is permitted for females; it simply cannot be extreme colors (paragraph 3.2, AFI 36-2903). As for protective eye wear, I understand the terminol-ogy for “mirrored sunglasses” is a bit foggy, but if your friend is putting on her make-up using the reflection from your shades, than it’s safe to say that you shouldn’t be wearing them in uniform. Remember we are not the Highway Patrol; leave the mirrored sunglasses for your civilian attire.

Here are some upcoming phase out dates:33S Legacy badges — Oct. 1, 2011Battle Dress Uniform — Nov. 1, 2011Desert Camouflage Uniform — Nov. 1, 2011Black t-shirt — Nov. 1, 2011Black Combat Boots — Nov. 1, 2011Tan boots with Airman battle uniform (outside Theater

of Operations) — Nov. 1, 2011Also, for all those who were wondering, undergarments

are indeed mandatory. So if you were looking to head in that direction due to a need of some individual expression, “Halt that thought and find an alternate route.” Commando is not an option for an Airman in uniform.

U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Daniel Hughes/Released

The new Air Force Instruction 36-2903, which was revised this year, states Airmen are not allowed to wear sunglasses which are faddish or have mirrored lenses.

Your top enemy at the office isn’t that gossipy girl at the desk next to yours, it’s your chair. Sitting all day at work isn’t doing your rear any favors, try doing some squats. Here are the basics to performing a perfect squat:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward. If you’re using dumbbells, hold them at the outside of your thighs.

2. Shift your bodyweight to your heels, not your toes.3. Bend your knees but do not allow them to bend to an angle less than 90 degrees. Keep your back straight

and keep your weight in your heels.4. Slowly return to a standing position. Do two sets of 10 — 12 squats each.

50th Civil Engineering SquadronNow, more than ever, opportunities are available for

residents and businesses to recycle. With the grow-ing population it is becoming critical for everyone to do their part.

Recycling is an important way for individu-als and businesses to reduce generated waste and its negative impact. Recycling conserves natural resources, saves landfill space, conserves energy and reduces water pollution, air pollution and green house gas emissions attributed to global warming.

Together, reducing, reusing, recycling and buy-ing repurposed products make up a comprehen-sive waste and resource reduction strategy that benefits our natural world and economy.

As the largest user of energy in the federal gov-ernment the Air Force is leading the way in advo-

cating for conservation and green initiatives.Locally, as part of the AF goal to reduce its carbon

footprint Schriever has stepped up its recycling ef-forts by providing recycling bins in various locations

around base to encourage others to participate in the waste and resource reduction strategy.

The 50th Civil Engineering Environmental Office is offering Rubbermaid containers for work centers from:

Eight-gallon desk-side recycle containers to 50-and 95-gal-lon containers with wheels. Also available is a can crusher with container that can hold 300-400 cans.

Co-mingled, or single-stream, recycling bins will accept

cardboard, metal cans, paper and plastics. Please ensure food debris is removed before placing any material in the recycling container. Never place batteries, fluorescent lamps or bulbs in any recycle or refuse container; these items can be turned in to Doug Chase, 50 CES Environmental Office.

“Schriever’s FY11 goal for solid waste disposal and re-cycling/reuse was 50 percent; sadly the actual amount recycled or reused was well below the goal, coming in at 32.4 percent. The biggest road block to meet this goal is awareness,” said Chase.

Last week, new recycling and refuse signs were placed on all dumpsters across base to address any confusion regarding which bins are for recycling. Smaller signs for indoor recycling and refuse containers will soon follow.

Last month, new roll-top containers for recycling toner and inkjet cartridges were placed among the recycling and refuse dumpsters located at Buildings 210 (west end), 300 (east end), 400 (south side) and 720 (southeast corner). Only toner and inkjet cartridges shall be discarded in the roll-top collection bins; any associated cardboard or paper shall be put in a co-mingled recycling container. For this waste reduction opportunity, personnel can also turn in toner or inkjet cartridges from home.

According to the Air Force Energy Plan it is imperative that the AF creates a culture that is aware of the carbon footprint left behind and still be able to produce combat power, yielding options for America.

For recycling containers or more information on recy-cling options contact Chase at 567-4242.

STROKES ARE THE NUMBER-THREE KILLER

IN THIS COUNTRY, YET MANY PEOPLE DON’T EVEN

KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. THEY DON’T KNOW THAT MORE

OF THE BRAIN CAN BE SAVED IF A STROKE IS DETECTED AND

TREATMENT IS RECEIVED IMMEDIATELY. STROKES BEGIN WHEN A

BLOOD VESSEL IN THE BRAIN BECOMES BLOCKED OR BURSTS. BLOOD FLOW

IS CUT OFF. TISSUE IS STARVED FOR OXYGEN, AND PARTS OF THE BRAIN DIE.

IF NOT TREATED QUICKLY, ABILITIES AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE CAN BE

LOST. YOUR BRAIN IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION.

GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE.

WITH A STROKE, T IME LOST IS BRAIN LOST.

If you suddenly have or see any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 immediately: Numbness or

weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body • Confusion, trouble

speaking or understanding • Difficulty seeing in one or both eyes • Trouble walking,

dizziness, loss of balance or coordination • Severe headache with no known cause
