Delta NIPRNet users can help to avoid device quarantines by:

1)  Restarting devices at the end of the day; don't shut down--allows patches to be pushed after hours.

2)  Check the Software Center App on their devices to confirm all available updates loaded completely.

3)  Run the command "gpupdate /force" from the search window (bottom middle of the desktop) to force any updates that did not run during general patching.

August Ink Report - Balance Your Thinking 

# data[].attributes.body
Bad Intel Leads to Bad Decisions. Are You Trusting Your Own?

In our line of work, situational awareness is everything. We train relentlessly to gather accurate intelligence so we can execute the mission flawlessly. But what happens when the bad intel is coming from inside your own head?

Whether you are on the flight line, sitting at a console, or navigating challenges at home, your ability to rapidly and accurately assess a situation dictates your success. When we react based on emotional feelings, unverified assumptions, or emotional spikes, we introduce critical friction into the mission and our relationships.

This month’s Resilience Newsletter focuses on a vital cognitive weapon: Balance Your Thinking.

Balancing your thinking is about training yourself to utilize objectivity. It’s the mental equivalent of pulling up an overhead tactical feed to see the whole battlefield, rather than getting lost in the fog of the immediate event.

Inside this month's quick-read newsletter, you will discover:

The 4 "Cognitive Traps" that degrade our performance and unit cohesion.

Tactical and relationship examples of how "Blaming" causes us to miss the full picture.

The 4-Step Action Plan of strategies to examine the evidence, check your blind spots, and reframe your perspective for maximum effectiveness.

To growing, adapting, and thriving together.

With Respect,

Your Integrated Prevention Team

🚜🦟 Mosquito Fogging Operations Reminder

📅 Special Notice: Warfit Field will be fogged at sunset on 1 July.

The 45 CES Pest Management Section will conduct base-wide mosquito fogging operations every Monday and Wednesday at sunset (or shortly thereafter) to help reduce mosquito populations and improve outdoor conditions across the installation.

⚠️ Safety First
If you see the fogging vehicle in your immediate area:
• Return indoors immediately
• Remain indoors for approximately 30 minutes

Operators will stop and turn off the fogger if individuals are in the treatment area to allow time to move indoors. If people remain present, that area will be skipped and treated at a later time.

🌦️ Treatments are scheduled during peak mosquito activity for maximum effectiveness but may be postponed due to rain or winds exceeding 10 mph.

📍 Additional fogging may be conducted before Delta-wide events when feasible.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safer and more comfortable environment for everyone on base.

Please contact 45th CES Customer Service for any questions or concerns at DSN: 854-2778 or COMM: (321) 494-2778.

Feeding wildlife on SLD 45 property is PROHIBITED!!

Feeding wildlife on SLD 45 property is PROHIBITED!!

# data[].attributes.body
🚫 Please Help Keep Wildlife Healthy and Wild 🐢🦅🐊

Both PSFB and CCSFS are home to a wide variety of native wildlife, including protected and endangered species. Feeding, harassing, harming wildlife, or damaging habitat on SLD 45 property is prohibited.

Uncontrolled feeding of birds and other wildlife in parking lots, beaches, and facility areas creates unsafe and unhealthy conditions for both animals and people.

Feeding wildlife can lead to:

• Unsanitary conditions from accumulated droppings
• Property damage and pest infestations
• Increased public health risks from bacteria and fungi
• Disruption to installation operations
• Wildlife losing their natural fear of humans

Harassment includes:
• Touching wildlife
• Chasing animals
• Interfering with natural behaviors

⚠️ Feeding wildlife can make animals dependent on humans and potentially dangerous. In some cases, animals that repeatedly enter populated areas must be euthanized. Feeding alligators is especially dangerous and can result in attacks on people.

Please help protect our wildlife and community by following these guidelines:

✅ Properly dispose of trash
✅ Keep pets and children away from wildlife
✅ Stay away from resting bird groups on the beach
✅ Avoid beaches at night during sea turtle nesting season (May–October)
✅ Do not feed any wildlife, including manatees
✅ Do not attempt to handle or disturb wildlife
✅ Keep pets off SLD 45 beaches
✅ Report wildlife violations to Natural Resources at (321) 853-0964 or (321) 853-6822

Remember: Feeding or harassing protected wildlife may violate federal law and could result in fines and/or imprisonment.

Please help educate others and do your part to keep SLD 45 wildlife healthy and wild.

📣 The best operators don't just execute, they communicate. They brief with confidence, lead with clarity, and command the room whether they're in uniform or a boardroom.

🗣️ Patrick SFB Toastmasters is where that edge is built.

🇺🇸 Public speaking. Leadership. Persuasion under pressure. These are the skills that separate good Airmen and Guardians from great ones and the exact skills that Fortune 500 companies recruit for when you hang up the uniform.

🎖️ Inside the military: Stand out in your next brief. Strengthen your OPR/EPR. Lead with impact.

🌎 Outside the military: Toastmasters is globally recognized. Employers know what it means — and they want it.

No experience required. Just the drive to be better.
