The chapter hosted a luncheon in January at the Peterson Air Force Base Officers Club featuring guest speaker Brig. Gen. Kevin B. Wooton, USAF, director, communications and information, Headquarters Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Col. Philip Platt, USAF (Ret.), chapter president, presided over the event. During his presentation, Gen. Wooton emphasized the challenges and the dichotomies the concept of the Joint Information Environment (JIE) migration presents to the lead command, AFSPC. He noted that in implementing the "jointness," he has concerns that the air component must retain the necessary tools to complete its mission. He next reminded the audience that the military must smartly integrate the JIE under shrinking budgets, and the armed forces need to tackle what's hard now as there are repercussions to only implementing the easy fixes first. The general then indicated that his number one priority is the Air Force's migration of the Active Directory and Exchange.
