Are you having trouble running? Do you often find yourself getting injured during a run? Do you want to improve your stride? Help is available for runners who are looking to have these questions answered. The 628th Medical Operations Squadron Physical Therapy section runs the Gait Analysis Clinic to help prevent injuries and improve performance. The clinic is held twice a month, the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, in Room 103 at the Health and Wellness Center at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base, S.C. “The clinic is designed to evaluate running patterns,” said Maj. Lee Warlick, 628th MDOS Physical Therapy flight commander. “Because we all have different foot types, it’s going to cause us to have certain biomechanics when we land.” To utilize this service, TRICARE Prime beneficiaries must set-up an appointment through the 628th Medical Group appointment line. “This appointment does not require a referral, so you don’t have to see your doctor or primary care manager,” Warlick added.

How it works A gait analysis session begins with an appropriately-dressed patient arriving at their appointment with their running shoes. The physical therapist will then interview the patient. “We will ask the individuals a series of questions such as ‘What is the reason for your visit today?’ ‘How often do you run?’ ‘How far do you run?” and ‘Do you have pain when you run?’” said Warlick. After the preliminary steps are taken, the patient will remove his shoes and socks. “This is my favorite part of the day – seeing feet,” Warlick said jokingly. The physical therapist then analyzes the patient’s foot arch. “There are basically three types of arches – normal, flat/low arch and rigid/high arch,” said Warlick. “Generally, a normal to low arch would require a stability shoe, a flat arch would need a motion-controlled shoe and a high arch would need a cushioned shoe.” The patients will then walk and run barefoot on a treadmill. After approximately 30 seconds,

Lee Warlick, 628th Medical Operations Squadron Physical Therapy flight commander, observes an Airman walking on a treadmill during a Gait Analysis Clinic appointment Jan. 8, 2013, at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base, S.C. During a session with the Gait Analysis Clinic, a physical therapist will observe a patient walk on a treadmill with running shoes and barefoot.

the patient will repeat this process in their running shoes, explained Warlick. After observing the patient walk and run, the physical therapist will offer suggestions to improve the patient’s running or walking stride. “One of the more commons problems I come across from patients is shin splints,” said Warlick. A running shoe prescription will be discussed with the patients.

Your thumb should fit between the end of your toe and the top of the shoe ning shoes: • The heel of your foot should fit snugly • Shop in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest (your feet will expand while running) against the back of the shoe without sliding up or down as you walk or run • Have your feet measured. Over the years, our feet tend to widen and lengthen. Currently, the Gait Analysis Clinic is accomplished through keen-eye observation and physical therapist expertise, but the Physical Therapy section will begin to track patient’s gait analysis through the Dartfish motion analyst system in the near future, according to Warlick. “We are in the process of being trained with the Dartfish program,” Warlick said. “It should be up and running in two to four weeks.” A row of different types of running shoes is displayed at the Gait Analysis Clinic at Joint Base For more information on the Gait Analysis Charleston – Air Base, S.C.

COMMENTARY

SPAWAR celebrates 2012 accomplishments Commentary by Capt. Mark Glover Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic commanding officer

I'd like to bring to your attention some of the great things that have happened at Space and Naval Systems Center Atlantic recently. A celebration to commemorate the rapid acquisition, integration of electronics and delivery of more than 27,000 mineresistant, ambush-protected vehicles sent to Iraq and Afghanistan was held at SSC Atlantic's Vehicle integration facility, Dec. 10, 2012, at Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station, S.C. The MRAP vehicle program has been a group effort; it could not have been done without the Joint Base Charleston team. I'd like to thank our fellow shipmates at the 841st Army Battalion who loaded hundreds of vehicles at a time for shipment through the deep water port, the 437th and 315th Airlift Wings for rapidly delivery of the vehicles into theater by C-17s and for the work done by the Army Strategic Logistics Activity Charleston and other joint base partners to make sure these lifesaving vehicles were delivered to warfighters as expeditiously as possible . Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and current Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton

Carter said, "The MRAP program was the first major defense acquisition program to go from concept to full-scale production in less than a year since World War II." Initially integrating five vehicles a day at the SPAWAR vehicle integration facility, the team ramped up to full-rate production of 50 vehicles per day by early December 2007. The integration team continued to meet the demand signal rate and completed the integration of as many as 75 MRAP vehicles in a single day. During the ceremony, Christopher Miller, SSC Atlantic Executive Director, echoed the praise of the other speakers at the event. "I am proud to be associated with this historical life-saving campaign," said Miller. "During the past five years, there have been many congressional and senior defense and military officials visiting SPAWAR; the first thing they want to see is the MRAP Vehicle integration facility and to thank the dedicated workers who have worked around the clock to make it happen. Many of our SPAWAR/Industry workforces are veterans; each one of them understands that every day when they come to work they are helping to save the lives of warfighters." A new banner now hangs in the SPAWAR vehicle integration facility which reflects the more than

27,000 MRAP/MATV vehicles integrated. Everyone involved can take great pride in this modern day example of working together for a direct result to save the lives and limbs of the warfighters making sacrifices for the freedoms we enjoy. I'm also pleased to announce SSC Atlantic was awarded the 2012 Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Workforce Development Gold Award for large organizations Dec. 17, 2012, at the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes. The award, accepted by Miller, recognizes SSC Atlantic as a DOD acquisition, technology and logistics organization with more than 500 employees that has made exemplary contributions to career-long development of its acquisition workforce. "This award is an honor and a true testament to SSC Atlantic's commitment to providing an outstanding working environment for our workforce," said Miller. "This prestigious award demonstrates the exceptional dedication and work of the entire SSC Atlantic team." SSC Atlantic's career development contributions included tuition assistance, graduate programs, leadership development programs and specialized training focused on building capability to deliver new technologies to customers.

Welcome to 2013 – keep your resolutions and goals

Commentary by Chief Master Sgt. Larry Williams 437th Airlift Wing command chief

Hopefully everyone had a great holiday season and wonderful New Year. I am honored to serve with you and look forward to another great year here in the low country. For most people, a new year brings those wonderful things we always think about; the New Year's Resolutions. I find it fascinating how we take these goals and shove them to the forefront of our priority list only to abandon them in late February. I am guilty myself of doing this and over time, have tried to come up with a way to prevent this behavior. A recent Franklin Covey survey indicates only about 23 percent of people keep their resolutions. Things most often cited are distractions, being too busy and lack of commitment. I often talk about goal setting and how to achieve things you decide are important for you, your family and your career. There are a couple of things I can always reference when having this discussion: consistency and effort. Talking about being consistent and giving your effort and actually doing so are very different. It is easy starting out when the idea is fresh and seems to be the most important thing in your life. As time goes on, however, other issues take priority and inevitably, our goals shift. This is why I encourage people to choose attainable goals and take measurable steps in achieving them.

I truly believe we can accomplish anything we set our minds to if we apply basic principles. Winston Churchill stated, "Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking your potential." This can apply to any resolution you have set for yourself. If your goal is to get a college degree, you have to consistently be enrolled in a class and you must give effort in doing so. Taking a semester off or shifting this priority may sound like a good idea but ultimately will result in your goal slipping away. This applies to any goal, and only you can decide the outcome. Remember, continuous effort is the only way to achieve what you have decided is best for you. As we venture into this new year, there are going to be challenges on the horizon; unforeseen circumstances and world events only we in the Air Mobility Command can overcome. Along the way, these events can redirect your focus and rightly so, since we ultimately answer the call of others. None of these events however, can remove the ability for you to achieve your goals as long as you apply the simple principles of consistency and effort. In setting these resolutions and goals, I encourage you to think about the end result and ultimately what you wish to accomplish. If you set attainable goals, nothing can stand in your way of achieving them. Stay focused and I am sure your consistent hard work and effort will result in you being a better, more resilient person for your family and our great Air Force.

Diamond Tip: "Back in my day"

Commentary by Master Sgt. Allen Minner 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron assistant first sergeant

I'm sure everyone has heard a friend or family member start a conversation by saying, "back in my day." I recently used this phrase myself and afterwards, I had to chuckle because I had become “the old guy.” I had referred to a period in time just 14 years ago. Am I justified to use that phrase after only 14 years? Determining whether a reference to the past is either negative or positive can simply be the tone in which it's used. The reference of a more experienced Airman pointing out "how it used

to be" to a younger, less-experienced, Airman can often be perceived negatively by the junior member. It can also convey the idea that the senior member worked harder than the junior member did at that pay grade. This can be like throwing a little bit of sand in the gears of a machine. The positive ways to compare your Airman's adventures to "days gone by" come in two forms. I call them the "appreciative form" and "the history lesson." Unlike the negative delivery, these forms don't necessarily require the stereotypical lead in but still get the same message across. The appreciative form is all about delivery and intention. An example would be, "These new

computers are fast. Back in my day, we used to store data on floppy disks and couldn't imagine internet speeds as fast as we have today." The second form is what I call the history lesson. You will encounter this when a seasoned member speaks about a previous assignment. You get a lot of the "back in my day" material from the history lesson, but the delivery is not intended to insult. The contrast merely adds character to the story being told. We are part of a constantly evolving institution that is frequently required to change positions or even duty location. I think it's only natural to refer to the past and make comparisons. What will be your tone and intention next time you find yourself starting with back in my day?

Physical fitness: Struggle between mind, body, pain

Commentary by Airman 1st Class Jared Trimarchi Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Losing weight isn't easy. It took me almost five months to accomplish my goal of losing 40 pounds. I am physically average, but mentally I am tough. To lose the weight, I motivated myself after I experienced a humiliating personal setback. I was serving in a position which my old eating habits did not support. In June 2012, I was released as a member of the Joint Base Charleston Honor Guard because my personal appearance did not measure up to their stringent standards. I was devastated. Being a member of the Honor Guard was my greatest and most humbling experience in the Air Force. I loved every part of the job ... from participating in retirements, change of command ceremonies and parades, to providing military honors to those service members who had given the ultimate sacrifice. I had two months of experience and performed my duties with military bearing and dedicated professionalism. I failed in one important aspect of the job; maintaining a high standard of dress and personal appearance. I knew I was breaking the rules and my uniform was feeling snug. I knew that my appearance was a crucial, highly visible responsibility and I was representing the Air Force and the sacrifices of the servicemembers who wore the uniform before me. The Honor Guard was better off without me. The day I left I felt a mix of emotions. I was upset I let myself gain extra pounds. I put the blame on genetics; it runs in the family. I blamed fast food, candy, soda and even my PT leader. Those emotions and feelings were wrong. The only one to blame was myself. Realizing I was the one to blame, I understood I was the only one who could make a change. If I was the one who added all of the pounds, I knew I

had to be the one to lose them. In order to improve my body I had to change my mental state of mind and the way I thought about eating. I wanted to lose weight and get back into Honor Guard. Nothing was going to stand in my way. Being hungry is not the same as 'starving to death.' It took me a while to get used to eating proper portions. In my new mind set, when I was hungry I would eat small meals. I would eat one turkey sandwich instead of the usual two. After I ate a sandwich, I would tell myself I was full and I didn't need another, although, 10 minutes later I was 'starving to death.' Your body can lie to your mind and tell it you need to eat more. But my mind is smarter than my body and I reminded it I already ate. After about a week of consuming approximately 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day, my body became adjusted to eating for one person again. I chose my meals carefully too. A pound of cheeseburgers weighs less than a pound of grilled salmon, figuratively speaking. Cheeseburgers and sweets are my Achilles heel. It takes plenty of mind power to walk away from a perfectly grilled burger while watching your favorite team play at a sports bar. If your mind is strong enough to say no, your body has to follow. A strong support network made the work easier. My wife was on board and helped push me to eat smarter, while my wingmen at work offered their encouragement. However, eating less and making better decisions wasn't enough. I wanted to get back to Honor Guard as soon as possible. Many physical trainers will tell you that "pain is weakness leaving the body." I say, "pain is your mind fighting against your body." Waking up at 5 a.m. to go for a morning run when your body is sore from the workout the night before is rough mentally and physically. When you decide to push further and run that extra mile and your legs scream 'no' ... that's pain. A balance of eating less, working out more and being mentally tough enough to maintain my newly

formed habits helped me lose 30 pounds in six weeks. My uniform fit better than before. I had more energy to not only PT, but to do my job effectively. I felt my age again. I spoke with leadership from Honor Guard and they were pleased to have me back on the team. My goal to return had been accomplished, but my goal to lose 40 pounds was still in the works. To be honest, losing the weight wasn't the hardest part of my new lifestyle. It's been keeping the weight off that has become the real challenge. While in Honor Guard, I was on the road almost every day. Fast food and gas stations were our main sources for fuel. It's hard not to reward yourself with a cheeseburger, large fries and a large milkshake, but luckily fast food and even convenience stores have some pretty smart food options. Now, I eat a chicken sandwich, without the fries and a shake at a fast food joint, or a protein bar, fruit and water from the corner quickie mart. Food is fuel. Would you put regular gas in a $100,000 sports car? After about three months of chicken sandwiches, protein bars and running at 5 a.m., I lost another 10 pounds. My goal had been met. I finished my tour with the Honor Guard and went back to my shop. Eating less and choosing better options for food is a mindset. It is harder to change a mindset than to change your diet. If you change the way you think about food and what food you put in our body, it's harder to lose the battle to temptations. I look better and feel better, but the journey to meeting my goal would have never happened without the right mindset and support. I recommend setting a goal, finding support and never quitting. If you conquer your mind, your body has no choice but to follow. I am not a nutritional specialist. I am merely sharing my personal experience with weight loss. I recommend using base resources such as the Health and Wellness Center at 963-4007 for professional advice.

Volunteers man JB Charleston Skeet and Trap Range Story and photos by Senior Airman Dennis Sloan Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Joint Base Charleston - Air Base Skeet and Trap Range was established during World War II and is still run by volunteers today. Lee Hunt, a World War II veteran, started the range after he completed his service in the Navy during World War II, and at 86-years old, he still helps run the range as a volunteer. "The range was very popular back in the day and was originally used to train pilots on shooting moving targets," said Hunt. "Today the range is used for recreational purposes." The range is run by 10 volunteers who live near the base and enjoy sharing their passion of skeet and trap with others. "We hold one-on-one shooting classes here for adults and children," said Steven Selley, JB Charleston Skeet and Trap Range volunteer. The range is open to military and civilians, but individuals without a military ID card are required to apply for a pass to get on base, which also requires a background check. "We encourage people who have never shot skeet or trap to come and try it out," said Selley. "The range can be a fun family activity or for just a few buddies spending a little time in a friendly competition." Participants can rent a shotgun from the range, but shooters must bring in their own ammunition. The cost of a single round of skeet or trap cost $4, which entitles the participant to 25 clay targets. "We have two skeet ranges and one trap range," said Selley. "I recommend that participants try both ranges to get a feel for the two games." Skeet shooting uses shotguns to shoot and break clay disks that are flung into the air from two fixed stations at high speed from a variety of angles. Trap shooting uses shotguns to shoot and break clay disks that are flung into the air at a high speed from one station. The range is open Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. until dark. To set-up shooting time call 963-6137. "The range is a great place to spend an afternoon with family or friends," said Selley.

John Caputo, Joint Base Charleston Skeet and Trap Range volunteer, shoots at a clay bird during a round of skeet Dec. 15, 2012, at JB Charleston – Air Base. Caputo, along with several other local veterans, volunteer their time to maintain the range and to help shooters have a safe enjoyable time while shooting skeet and trap.

MCPON releases CPO 365 Training Guidance By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Alexandra Snyder Defense Media Activity

ing what we are doing." MCPON added that the term CPO 365 was coined by CPOs in the fleet, due to their belief that developing leaders is a yearround process. "This training is far more by the fleet, for the fleet than it is from folks in Washington," said Stevens. "A couple of years ago, when I was working with then-MCPON Rick West to help develop the CPO 365 guidance, I was overseas talking to a CPO Mess about the program. While I was addressing them, I looked in the corner and I saw their CPO guidon, and on it was written '365'. I asked them what they meant by that and what they shared with me was "we believe that developing FCPOs to become chiefs is a year-round process, so we use the term CPO 365. So, this is a title that was developed by the fleet and we just adopted it." Additionally, Stevens said that although the CPO 365 is primarily geared towards FCPO and CPOs, all Sailors will benefit from the training. "To develop great leaders we must have a training process that is ongoing in a Sailor's career," he said. "If everything we do starts and stops with leadership, then every Sailor will benefit from a more effective leader."

WASHINGTON – The role of the chief petty officer has long been an integral part of our Navy. When Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens took office last year, he recognized that training chiefs for their new leadership role in six weeks, as the original CPO induction dictated, was hindering them in becoming as successful as possible. "We recognized that we wouldn't always have the time that we would like to provide the training for our first class petty officers to become chiefs. So two years ago we implemented the CPO 365 training process that would afford them a longer period of time to train," said Stevens. "What we've done now is said, 'Why should we have a break six weeks prior to pinning and change the way we've been training?' What we've decided to do is continue to train throughout the year, all the way up to the final night, and progressively make the training more intense and more relevant as they get ready to become chief petty officers." CPO 365, a year-long development and training for FCPOs, was first introduced in 2010 under former MCPON Rick West. It includes two phases, the first of which begins in September each year. Under MCPON Steven's revised program, detailed in his 2012-2013 CPO 365 Guidance, all FCPOs will participate through the duration of Phase One, whether they are board-eligible or not. "CPO 365 depends a lot on momentum," said Stevens. "It's a continuous process of learning and development. What we don't want to do is have a clean break from CPO 365 where the FCPOs who were not selected to chief, are no longer involved in the training. We want to maintain that momentum, and continue to train. We recognize that there will be some events where all FCPOs won't be able to participate in, but by and large, we'll keep them together and continue to do the training they've been doing, because it's vitally important that all of our petty officers con* tinue to learn and develop."

The Judge Advocate General's Corps announces law school programs

Courtesy of 628th Air Base Wing Legal Office

Applications for the Funded Legal Education Program and Excess Leave Program are being accepted from January 1 through March 1, 2013. Interested Airmen are encouraged to compete. The number of FLEP and ELP applicants selected in any academic year is determined based on the needs of the Air Force. "Air Force missions are constantly changing, and commanders deserve to have access to legal advisors with a broad background of military experiences," said Maj. Tamona Bright, chief of the accessions branch, professional development directorate, Office of The Judge Advocate General. "The FLEP and ELP will ensure that we can continue to maintain a corps of officers with military experience that complements their legal training and provides commanders with the highest caliber of legal support." According to Bright, Air Force JAGs do more than just provide legal assistance. In addition to prosecuting and defending clients brought before courts-martial, JAG officers routinely participate in nearly every facet of the Air Force mission including developing and acquiring weapons systems, ensuring availability of airspace and ranges where those systems are tested and operated, consulting with commanders about how those systems are employed in armed conflict and assist-

ing commanders in the day-to-day running of military installations around the world. "Every aspect of the Air Force mission is bound by elements of the law," Bright said. The FLEP is a paid legal studies program for active-duty Air Force commissioned officers. The FLEP is an assignment action. Participants receive full pay, allowances and tuition. FLEP applicants must have between two and six years of active-duty service (enlisted or commissioned) and must be in the pay grade O-3 or below as of the day they begin law school. The FLEP is subject to tuition limitations. Positions may be limited due to overall funding availability. The Air Force Institute of Technology establishes the tuition limit. The 2012 academic year was set at approximately $16,000 per year, but this amount may change year to year. In 2012, due to budgetary constraints, we were unable to offer any FLEP seats. In 2013, a handful of seats were secured and it's encouraged that all eligible officers interested in becoming a member of the Air Force JAG corps apply. The ELP is an unpaid legal studies program for Air Force officers. ELP participants do not receive pay and allowances but remain on active duty for retirement eligibility and benefits purposes. ELP applicants must have between two and 10 years active-duty service and must be in the pay grade O-3 or below as of the first day of law school.

Applications for FY12 FLEP and ELP will be accepted from Jan. 1 through March 1, 2013. Both the FLEP and ELP programs require attendance at an American Bar Association accredited law school. Upon graduation and admission to practice law in the highest court of any state, commonwealth or territory of the United States, candidates are eligible for designation as judge advocates. To be considered for FLEP or ELP, applicants must complete all application forms, apply (acceptance is not required at the time of application for FLEP/ELP) to at least one ABA accredited law school, receive their Law School Admissions Test results and interview with a Staff Judge Advocate by Feb.15, 2013. Officers must provide a letter of conditional release from their current career field. Selection for both programs is competitive. Applications meet a selection board in early March and selections are made based on a review of the application package using a "whole person" concept. The total number of applicants selected for any academic year is based on the needs of the Air Force. AFI 51-101, Judge Advocate Accession Program, Chapters 2 and 3, discuss the FLEP and ELP. For more information and application materials, visithttp://www.airforce.com/jag, contact your base legal office, or contact Major Sean Elameto, HQ USAF/JAX (sean.elameto@pentagon.af.mil or 1-800-JAG-USAF).

Air Force to provide dedicated legal counsel to sexual assault victims

By Rich Lamance Air Force News Service

WASHINGTON – A new Air Force pilot program designed to provide legal assistance to victims of sexual assault will begin later this month. The Special Victims' Counsel Program will give sexual assault victims legal assistance and help them navigate the criminal justice system with lawyers trained to handle their unique needs. "It takes a strong team to succeed in our mission to protect and defend the nation, and sexual assault undermines that," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh III. "It's devastating to those involved. The Special Victims' Counsel will provide victims of sexual assault with a better understanding of the criminal process from an expert who is specially qualified to represent the victim. This program embodies what the Air Force is all about – taking care of our people." Experience shows that when victims believe that their actions leading to the assault are the subject of excessive scrutiny, they become upset and less willing to pursue their allegations. Some felt re-victimized by a process designed to hold offenders accountable – in essence, they felt blamed for what happened to them. "Victims, who are dealing with a sense of loss of control and sometimes post traumatic stress disorder, are often overwhelmed by what can be a grueling and lengthy criminal process," said Lt. Gen. Richard Harding, the Air Force Judge Advocate General. "With legal counsel providing greater support and advocacy throughout the investigatory and trial

process, most victims will not walk away feeling victimized a second time." Harding hopes that the program will help victims combat anxiety and will assist them in navigating the investigatory and military justice processes. "Building victim resiliency benefits both the victims, who will have someone representing their interests, and the Air Force," the general said. "The program will help uphold victims' rights and services available to support and identify gaps in victims' services." The program will provide 60 specially-trained attorneys Air Force-wide who will be placed geographically and who are certified trial counsel and expressed a desire to help victims of sexual assault. According to Harding, the specialized training gives the attorneys in-depth training from experts in military justice and legal ethics, as well as from a civilian expert on counsel for victims. The course also provided practical exercises designed to familiarize the attorneys with potential scenarios they will encounter in the field. Harding said he sees a three-step process to providing assistance to victims. "First we will begin offering victims counsel services with counsel in existing legal offices starting on January 28, 2013. The program will provide an information sharing network to build upon 'best practices.' Second, we

expect to standup a new, independent organization similar to the structure of our area defense counsel with additional manpower this summer. And third, as we gain experience, we will continue to refine and improve our rules of practice and training curriculum." Harding added that the creation of a program to address the needs of the victim is long overdue, and he feels that this new program will Air Force graphic / Sylvia Saab go a long way in supporting victims and their rights while at the same time protecting the due process rights of the accused. In talking about the courtroom in sexual assault cases, Harding pointed out that, "Prosecutors represent the government and even though the interests of the government and victims frequently align, prosecutors are unable to provide legal representation to victims. Because of the unfamiliarity with the criminal and military justice process, victims can feel overwhelmed with lengthy interviews with law enforcement, prosecutors and defense counsel. Special Victims' Counsel will help them understand the importance of separate interviews with different personnel in the military justice process and help protect their privacy and prevent unnecessary disclosure of intimate details. If you are a victim of sexual assault, the Special Victims' Counsel is your attorney – you have complete attorney-client confidentiality and they will zealously advocate on your behalf."
