Mentoring
Mentoring is one of the most important
things you can do during your career. As Air
Force leaders, we have an inherent responsi-
bility to develop our junior Airmen. General
Creech had it right when he stated, “The first
duty of any leader is to create more leaders.”
Mentoring is the tactical process which leads
to strategic success -- another generation of
outstanding Air Force leaders. Mentoring is
not an easy process; it takes time and seri-
ous effort. However, shaping and prepar-
ing tomorrow’s leaders is one of the most
satisfying aspects of leadership.
Being an effective mentor requires
significant commitment and dedication. One
of the significant challenges in a mentoring
partnership is the scarcity of time. In today’s
high tempo, expeditionary Air Force, leaders
must make time to share their experiences
with others. Your protégés want to learn
about your experiences and hear your advice.
Take a proactive approach to mentoring by
making yourselves available to listen to the
questions and concerns of our Airmen. Men-
tors, always set the example! You are always
on stage and your reputation hinges on your
conduct and demonstrated performance on a
daily basis. Finally, an ability to teach is an
essential skill of a good mentor. Leverage
your wisdom and experience to guide our
junior Airmen to success.
A mentoring partnership is a two-way
street -- protégés also have a significant role.
Commander’s Action Line
The Action Line is your direct line
for comments and suggestions on how
to make RAF Croughton a better place
to live and work.
It is also an avenue to resolve is-

They must recognize their need for im-
provement and be willing to pursue growth.
Seeking a mentor can be intimidating; bring
your courage, be bold, and contact potential
leaders both in and outside your career field.
Interact with them in both formal and in-
formal settings. Don’t get locked on to only
one person -- find a number of mentors with
varying backgrounds. Protégés must also
be willing to assume responsibility. All the
advice in the world is worthless unless you
are willing to act. Be ready to take action
after receiving and considering advice from
a mentor, even if it is something hard or
outside your comfort zone. Finally, protégés
need to bring an established track record to
a mentoring partnership. Be recognized as
a leader in your field! Pursue education and
seek growth opportunities -- be receptive to
new ideas.
Mentoring is a challenging effort which
requires a significant commitment from both
the mentor and protégé. Leaders, do your
part by dedicating time and effort to develop
our Airmen. And Airmen, pursue mentor-
ing partnerships and act on what you learn.
Mentoring partnerships should be mutually
beneficial, and your personal investment is
crucial to our success. If we all do our part,
our Air Force will be stronger, wiser, and
better prepared to take on the next challenge
and foe. Let’s take our Air Force to the next
level -- mentor!

Bar at Consolidated Club gets face lift

Approximately $3,000 being spent to improve facilities for Croughton personnel
Staff Sgt. Chris Stagner
422nd ABS Public Affairs
Quality of life got another boost for
everyone on RAF Croughton recently
when the Consolidated Club started
renovating its bar environment to make
it more customer friendly.
The approximately $3,000 in renova-
tions began Nov. 14 and include many
upgrades to what’s currently offered to
customers.
“We’re installing two 42-inch Plas-
ma TVs, surround sound, a new light-
ing system … we’re updating the mu-
sic selection in the juke box and adding
two new dart boards,” said the man-
ager. “We’re also adding new beer taps
that will be chilled to the top and a new
lighting system.”
The renovations will lead to more

5. Be caught reading these rules
events at the club.
“We’re thinking about starting a
dart league, and our team will compete
against leagues downtown,” said Mrs.
Cote.
The renovations have taken time to
come to fruition.
“We’ve been brainstorming for about
three years and decided to modernize
Mike’s Sports Bar,” said Club Manager
Nicole Cote. “People through the years
have suggested turning the bar into a
pub, but we’ve got some sentimental
value tied into Mike’s.”
The bar is named Mike’s Sports Bar
after two former employees.
Mike Kenny and Mike Gielman both
worked on the staff at the bar. Together,
they served at the bar and served the
Airmen at Croughton for more than 42
years prior to their deaths in 1994 and
1996 respectively.
“I’m excited about the new renova-
tions,” said Crystal Foster, a bartender
at the club for almost a year. “The reno-
vations are going to make the club a lot
more cozy for our customers and will,
hopefully, bring in more business.”

Send thanks to Croughton Airmen

(Editor’s note: The following letter was written by the parents of Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Belk. Sergeant Belk’s wife lost
her life in an automobile accident here last year. He is currently in a long-term nursing care facility in California.)

To the RAF Croughton Community:

The vehicle accident that claimed our daughter-in-law Katia Belk’s, life and changed the life of our son, Staff Sgt.
Jeremiah Belk, happened one year ago on Nov. 6, 2004. To say it has been a long, hard and difficult year is an under-
statement. However, we have much to be thankful for!
First, your support of love and finances has made our journey much easier. Both Danette and I will never forget
your hospitality, love, home-cooked meals and assistance in traveling to and from John Radcliffe Hospital. Your help
allowed us to focus upon our son, and for this we are forever grateful.
Second, we are thankful for Jeremiah’s rehabilitation progress. Currently, Jeremiah has been medically retired
from the active United States Air Force and placed upon the temporary disability retirement list.
After leaving RAF Croughton, Jeremiah spent time at Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver, Colo., and is now
living in a long-term nursing care facility located at the Menlo Park VA Medical Center in California. For an indi-
vidual with his medical challenges, he is doing very well according to his medical staff.
We trust and pray that Jeremiah can continue making progress this coming year. It is his desire to return to active
duty in the United States Air Force one day. That is our desire too, not only because it is his desire, but because of
people like you.
If you would like, you may contact Jeremiah at: belk_jeremiah@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,
Gary and Danette Belk

Creating greater happiness for you and yours

Maj. Marc Silverstein
422nd Air Base Squadron Life Skills
This is typically a very exciting time of year for chil-
dren. They get excited about Santa Claus and all the special
activities of the holidays. But you personally may not find
it as easy.
For one thing, it can be tough to be overseas and away
from family and friends. While many people might think
they’d love to spend their Christmas in Europe, for ex-
ample, it is quite different when this is your choice versus
something that is out of your control.
But if you can concentrate on what’s good about be-
ing here versus what you might be losing out on, you will
probably be able to create yourself a more pleasant holiday
season.
Have you noticed how children can be so happy one
minute, upset about something the next and then happy
again? That’s because they seldom get stuck in a certain
emotional state. Often they respond to life as it is for them
in that moment.
As adults, we forget how to do this. We tend to put too
much emotional energy into thinking about the past or the
future. We think about how we aren’t getting what we want.
All of this keeps us from living in the moment, like chil-
dren do. But this is actually where life is lived.
So unless you can bring yourself to do this, you miss out
on so much.
Try to make an effort to enjoy the moment, whatever it
may be providing you at the time. Maybe you would prefer
to be with family and friends this holiday season. But you
are in close proximity to places people dream of visiting all
their lives. You can be enjoying these with your family and
friends now.
Go ahead and live in the moment, and see what a differ-
ence it will make.
Happy holidays and best wishes to you and yours for the
next year!

Strength or resistance training a
must in day-to-day fitness programs
(Editor’s note: The following article was submitted by
the 422nd Air Base Squadron Fitness Center staff.)
Strength or resistance training is an essential part of any
fitness program. Cardiovascular exercises provide many
health promoting benefits but when coupled with strength
training, the benefits increase significantly. Strength train-
ing can be done using resistance bands, free weights or
circuit machines, and with regular training, you can:
Increase your strength
Build stronger muscles that will support your joints and
prevent injury
Prevent bone density loss
Improve your posture
Boost your metabolism and help your body burn calo-
ries faster
Increase lean muscle mass and prevent loss of muscle
mass
Lower your blood pressure
Increase your endurance
Raise your level of overall fitness
Develop better coordination and balance
Enhance self confidence and body satisfaction
Strength training will take a little forethought and plan-
ning and is not a substitute for your regular activities. It is
meant to be integrated into your exercise regimen to form a
well-rounded fitness program. Fat-burning and cardiovas-
cular exercise will help you tone up over time, but to see
visible changes in your muscle tone you should add resis-
tance training.
Consistency is the key. Try to do some form of resistance
training two or three times a week, even if it is brief. This
will be more effective than intense, sporadic workouts.
Starting slowly can reduce the initial soreness and aches
that accompany a new program.

information, contact Ceri Griffin at 236-8449.
The Uplink 9
Choose your workout setting. Gyms and fitness centers
usually offer machines and free weights, classes and quali-
fied staff. The RAF Croughton Fitness Center has individu-
als who can help walk you through a reasonable routine. If
you would rather take this up at home, you can use simple
equipment like resistance bands, dumbbells, an exercise
ball or a barbell and weight bench set.
Work all your muscle groups (not all at once, of course!)
- Chest, Back, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Quadriceps,
Hamstrings, Calves, Abdominals. Alternate your routine
and work specific muscle groups on different days, making
sure that all your muscles get equal training time. Be care-
ful not to stay too focused on one area, because muscle im-
balance can lead to injuries. Rest one to two days between
strength training workouts.
Check out the options available for you to modify your
workouts. You can vary the amount of weight, the repeti-
tions and number of sets you perform.
You can participate in muscle training classes that are
offered at most fitness centers. You can change from free
weights to machines or from machines to resistance bands.
Be aware of ways to shake up your routine when you start
to get bored.
Don’t be intimidated by body-builder types that will be
sharing equipment with you. Remember that everyone was
once a beginner and most people are willing to be helpful
if you need assistance. Take advantage of personal trainers
and fitness center staff that can teach you about different
equipment and help you get started. Ask about orientation
classes that might be available.
If you need help with your exercise program or to
prevent weight gain, contact the fitness center for a person-
al fitness program and the dietician for a personal nutrition
program.
