Commander Chadwick Bryant relieved Cmdr.

Raymond Drake as the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston's commanding officer during a routine change of command ceremony held at the Red Bank Club at Joint Base CharlestonWeapons Station Jan. 12.

"It is a great day and a personal pleasure to recognize the accomplishments of this command under the leadership of Cmdr. Drake," said Rear Adm. Donald Quinn, Navy Personnel Command commander.

Quinn highlighted the accomplishments of NCBC during Drake's tenure including the Base Closure and Realignment expansion of the brig.

The $9.8 million expansion included the addition of an 80-bed housing unit, a new Industries Building and a prisoner weight room. Under Drake's guidance, the project was completed ahead of time and under budget.

Drake also oversaw a 100 percent compliance score on the American Correctional Association's Triennial Reaccreditation Audit in 2010. In July, 2011, NCBC received four fleet "best practices" during a Chief of Naval Personnel Inspector General visit and received the highest functional adequacy rating available during the concurrent Navy Personnel Command Operational Readiness Inspection.

Drake's leadership also helped spearhead the NCBC's partnership with Canines for Service, a Department of Labor certified prisoner-trained service dog program that has placed seven prisoner-trained service dogs with wounded service members.

Drake was awarded the Meritorious Service

Quinn is the Navy Personnel Command commander and Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel.

Medal for his accomplishments.

Bryant is originally from Turbeville, S.C., and received his commission as an ensign in 1993 through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corp at the University of South Carolina, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. Additionally, he has earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Jacksonville University and a Master of Arts Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College.

A Surface Warfare Officer, Bryant has served

on several ships, both in the U.S. and overseas.

He has served as the NCBC executive officer since June 2010.

"I am both proud and excited to have the great fortune to be the commanding officer of NCBC," Bryant said. "It is a highlight of any officer's military career to assume command; however, to be able to take command of this successful team of multi-service active duty military, government civilians and contractors is truly an honor."

By Senior Airman Anthony J. Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs Due to a lack of revenue, the theater at Joint Base Charleston-Air Base will be showing its last movie Jan. 27. Beginning Jan. 28 the theater will be closed indefinitely.

Recently, ticket and concession sales have not been covering the operating costs and therefore the theater is not generating revenue to support Morale and Welfare Recreation funds, said Angela Maura, Joint Base Charleston-Air Base Exchange general manager.

"The average attendance for a showing is 25 customers and depending on the movie as low as five people," said Mauras. "We need at least 82 adults in attendance at both Friday and Saturday showing to cover operating costs."

Despite the closure, the movie theater will still be available for official and special functions, said Laura Abell, 628th Force Support Squadron director of marketing. Squadrons will have to coordinate with Outdoor Recreation to use the theater. Outdoor Recreation can be reached at DSN 963-1732.

Some alternatives for the JB Charleston-Air Base movie theater are the JB Charleston-Naval Weapons Station Theater, which offers free movies and multiple theaters off base, of which many offer military discounts.

Re-opening the theater is an option that might be explored once on-base privatized housing is complete and more families move on base, according to Mauras.

"The theater belongs to the base and AAFES is only the custodial when showing movies. So, if there is ever a time you are having a meeting in the theater and you would like us to open the snack stand we can make arrangements," Mauras said.

First sergeants are priceless assets to their units Commentary by Master Sgt. Brian McFarland 92nd Medical Group FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. – In the first few years of my Air Force career and more recently over my four month tenure as an interim first sergeant, I've become increasingly familiar with a negative connotation associated with the position of the first sergeant.

More often than not, when I ask the question: "What's the first thing you think of when you think of a first sergeant?" The responses I've received include, "trouble, discipline, problems, standards, and Article 15's." The majority of these responses come from, but are not limited to; first term Airman with less than one year on station.

If you were to reference AFI 36-2113, The First Sergeant, it's there in black and white ink. Words like "disciplinary actions, standards, and authority." While all of these attributes are vital to the force and serve a very necessary purpose in each and every unit, squadron, and group across the Air Force, that's not all a first sergeant is about. A first sergeant is a priceless asset to the men and women in the unit he/she is assigned to.

According to Webster's Dictionary, "asset" is defined as "a useful or valuable quality, person, or thing; an advantage or resource." Every piece of Webster's definition of an asset correlates to an Air Force first sergeant and what they are to the Airmen, NCOs, senior NCOs, and officers assigned to their respective unit. The unfortunate truth about the successes had by first

sergeants is that nine out of 10 times, they occur behind closed doors and stay between the member requiring some level of assistance, their immediate supervisor, and the "shirt."

You may hear about the trouble going on in the squadron and the discipline as a result of it, or you may see the "shirt" correcting a dress and appearance issue on the spot, and you might know that if an active duty member goes to jail, it's the first sergeant that gets the call and facilitates the member's release. At first glance, the aforementioned examples seem to have negative connotations behind them. If you were to look a little deeper and "peel back the onion" on these situations, the positive effect of the first sergeant's actions will be staring you square in the face.

So, when the first sergeant discussion takes place with a first term Airman, whom for the most part, has a blank active duty canvas eagerly waiting to be painted with positive Air Force images and memories, my challenge to you all is to mention the good in the same breath you mention the bad.

First sergeants work 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week for the members of their respective unit and should the phone ring at three in the morning on a Saturday, your "shirt" will answer, wipe the sleep out of his/her eyes, and provide you with whatever level of assistance you need to facilitate a positive outcome.

Take care of the mission first, take care of each other to build trust and an unbeatable team and take care of yourself with a personal commitment to be the best.

Are you a servant-leader?

By Chief Master Sgt. Gregory Warren 62nd Airlift Wing command chief JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. – The phrase "servant leader" was brought into the mainstream back in 1970 in an essay published by Mr. Robert Greenleaf. In this writing, he defines a servant-leader as someone who "is a servant first."

Servant leadership isn't about positions and titles.

Instead, it is an attitude that says people and relationships are important, valuable and essential to mission success.

What does it mean to me? It's very simple.

Putting the needs of your fellow Airmen first. Is this convenient? No. Is it rewarding? Absolutely!

There is nothing more satisfying than to see someone you've worked with succeed. That is what personally drives me in the capacity I serve.

We often talk about getting to know one another and being good Wingmen to each other. For those in supervisory positions, we emphasize getting eyeball-to-eyeball with your Airmen, daily if possible, to identify when something might not be quite right with them.

For the servant-leader this isn't a chore, it is an

An unknown author once said, "A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to “... leadership to me isn't have confidence in themselves." about the number of stripes John C. Maxwell, famous leadership mentor and pastor said this, "True leadership must on your sleeve or the shape be for the benefit of the followers, not to or color of the rank on your enrich the leader." shoulders; it is about These two quotes are at the heart of servant-leadership and define your leaders here serving others.” on McChord Field.

Chief Master Sgt. Gregory Warren In closing, I'll say that leadership to me 62nd Airlift Wing command chief isn't about the number of stripes on your sleeve or the shape or color of the rank on your shoulders; it is about serving others. No imperative embedded in their DNA; they genuinely care about others and know that mission success matter what capacity you serve in. I believe that absolutely depends on individual successes of success isn't defined by how much you personally achieve but on how much those you influence those around them.

In my opinion, some great examples of servant- achieve. Does this define you as a leader? leaders throughout history may be Jesus, Ghandi, Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King Jr. These leaders absolutely put the needs of others before their own and, because of it, are considered some of the greatest, most beloved leaders to have ever lived.

Vote, let your voice be heard

By Airman 1st Class Tom Brading Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs The Republican primaries are well underway and the world's eyes are on the state of South Carolina and its primary scheduled for Jan. 21. While you might not be able to vote in the S.C. primary, you can still register to vote in the National Election in November.

If you or your family members have not submitted a registration or absentee ballot request [Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)] to your home state, you should do so as soon as possible.

Your unit and installation voting assistance officers can remind you of this and assist you in the process.

However, you can also accomplish this yourself, too. Everything you need is on the Federal Voting Assistance Program web portal at http://www.fvap.gov/map.html. Keep in mind, state registration requirements vary greatly. When on the website, click on your home state. Follow the instructions to register and request an absentee ballot.

Don't assume your registration for absentee ballots from previous elections are still valid.

Some states remove "inactive" voters from the polls after a certain amount of time. If you can't remember the last time you voted, chances are you'll need to re-register.

Sign up for State-specific election information at http://www.fvap.gov/contact/subscription.html. You have the option of adding or deleting subscription items at any time and have the option to password protect your account.

If you've submitted an absentee ballot request, but do not receive a ballot at least 30 days before the election, go to FVAP.gov's online back-up ballot system to find out your federal candidates, fill out the back-up ballot and get complete submission instructions.

You can access this online back-up ballot system at http://www.fvap.gov/map.html and then select, "Get My Ballot Now".

Airmen participate in MLK run

Technical Sgt. Darius Roberson crosses the finish line first after completing the 2.5 mile run in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base Jan. 13. More than 500 runners competed in the event.

Roberson completed the run in 16:50 and is assigned to the 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.

Airsoft guns: Real or fake?

Courtesy of the 628th Security Forces Squadron Recently, police officers fired upon and killed a 15-year-old boy in Texas who was brandishing a pellet gun that looked like a real one. The teenager was told several times to put down the weapon but refused to listen to the instructions given by the police. Officers had to open fire in response to what they thought was a legitimate threat from an individual with a real weapon. Sadly, the student was holding a toy gun.

How could the police mistake a toy gun for a real one?

A firearm is defined as "any weapon designed to expel a projectile through a barrel by the action of a propellant, or one that you can readily convert to this purpose. The frame or receiver group of any such weapon, any firearm muffler or silencer and starter guns are considered firearms." Airsoft guns are included in this definition.

New Victim Advocate - Victim Privilege: [Military Rule of Evidence (M.R.E.) 514] Courtesy of the 628th Air Base Wing Legal Office If you are a victim who has suffered direct physical or emotional harm as the result of a sexual or violent offense, you may claim the new Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege under Military Rule of Evidence (M.R.E.) 514. This is true even if you make an unrestricted report of a sexual assault.

By claiming this privilege, you have the right to refuse to disclose and prevent any other person from disclosing a confidential communication made between you and a victim advocate in a case arising under the Uniform Code of Military Justice if the communication was made for the purpose of facilitating advice or supportive assistance to the victim.

To claim the privilege, you must have consulted with a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program victim advocate or a domestic violence victim advocate with the Family Advocacy Program. Your communication must have also been made for the purpose

of facilitating advice or supportive assistance and you must intend that your communication with a victim advocate not be disclosed to a third party. Your perpetrator must also be military member.

If you tell anyone about what you discussed with a victim advocate, you will waive the ability to claim the Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege.

Also, the Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege does not protect all communications, including communications that clearly contemplate the future commission of a fraud or crime or where the victim advocate's services are sought to enable or aid anyone to commit a fraud or crime. Communications between a victim and a victim advocate may also be disclosed when ensuring the safety of others, including the victim, is necessary.

If you believe you have been a victim of a sexual assault, contact the SARC at either 963-7272 (office) or 817-8397 (cell). If you have questions regarding the new Victim Advocate-Victim privilege under M.R.E. 514, contact the base legal office at 963-5502.

If you are not familiar with Airsoft guns, they are realistic replica firearms that fire plastic pellets (also known as BBs) for recreational use or for shooting small game. They can be operated by manually pumped air compression or cycled by compressed gas, spring action or an electric motor pulling a piston.

Many of the best-selling Airsoft weapons are high detailed replicas of real lethal weapons and are manufactured and designed by companies headquartered in Asian countries or territories. Airsoft guns are often equipped with an orange tip at the muzzle to designate them as "fake" weapons but it is also common for owners to cover this orange tip with black electrical tape to enhance the gun's realistic appearance.

Incidents involving Airsoft guns are easily avoided and there are measures in place on Joint Base Charleston to ensure the safety of all residents and workers.

Airsoft guns are legal on JB Charleston, however they are not allowed in the dorms. Also, individuals are not authorized to fire Airsoft guns at any location on JB Charleston except at the Skeet Range.

Remember, in order to sufficiently protect our personnel and resources Security Forces members are required to treat all weapons as if they are lethal until determined otherwise.

If you have any questions regarding the use or ownership of Airsoft guns, call the Security Forces Squadron at 963-3600.

2012 Crews Into Shape Challenge slated for March Courtesy of Naval Health Charleston Public Affairs

Complete your undergraduate degree at Webster University. You’ll learn from faculty that practices what it teaches and benefit from one-on-one attention. Classes meet in the evening; you can take just one class per term.

Clinic

The Wellness staff at Naval Health Clinic Charleston is inviting the entire Joint Base Charleston family to participate in the 2012 Crews Into Shape challenge.

The challenge, sponsored by the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center, will take place over a fourweek period from March 4 to March 31. duty, Active Reservists, retirees, family members, civilians and contract employees are encouraged to form teams.

As part of a team or "crew," participants will assess their nutrition and exercise habits with the goal of improving both. Each crew may have up to 10 members with a designated crew leader and a unique team name. Points will be awarded for the amounts of exercise completed and amounts of fruits and vegetables consumed.

Additional points can be earned by member's achieving their weight goal, the timeliness of reporting and degree of team participation. At the end of the challenge, the teams with the most points will be recognized by NMCPHC. Last year, 1,932 crew members in 276

"crews" composed of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, Department of Defense civilians, contractors and family members registered for Crews Into Shape. More than 41 percent of the crews submitted their final scores.

Participants were invited (and scored a point) for completing a web-based survey within seven days of completing the challenge. Survey results showed Crews Into Shape positively affected self-reported health-related behavior. Of the 448 people who completed the postCrews survey, most agreed or strongly agreed the Crews program "helped me improve my daily habits" regarding exercise (80.6 percent), fruit consumption (87.7 percent) and vegetable consumption (86.5 percent).

During the 2011 competition, one NHCC team made up of 11 females lost a total of 46 pounds in four weeks proving the activities are fun, the goals are reasonable and the team support is invaluable.

For more information or to register a team, go to: http://www.nmcphc.med.navy. mil/Healthy_Living/Resources_Products/Cr ews_Into_Shape/crews_info.aspx.

All crews must be registered by March 4.

Each year millions of people throughout America make New Year's resolutions. More often than not, those resolutions are targeted towards maintaining a healthier lifestyle by eating healthier, exercising more or shedding a few extra pounds.

As part of January's national observance month - Shape up U.S. - Airmen and Sailors alike are hitting the gym to kick-start those resolutions and get in shape at Joint Base Charleston.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Michael Barbaro knows the benefits of a consistent exercise routine. Barbaro is a Machinist's Mate assigned to the Naval Support Activity at JB Charleston - Weapons Station and works out four to five times a week.

"Working out has improved my self-esteem and confidence. It makes me feel better all around and really gives me a sense of accomplishment," Barbaro said. "I was already in a routine of working out so my resolution was to start implementing a healthier diet. Just because I work out doesn't necessarily mean I am healthy, I have to eat healthy too.

"I think it is important to start healthy habits now so that when I get older I will have already developed those habits and they will have become natural and part of my daily routine."

While eating healthier and working out seems to go hand-in-hand to achieving personal goals, having a support system, whether it is a spouse or friend, can help push and motivate a person to stick with it.

"My wife has been my biggest supporter. She works out with me and is eating healthier foods. I think she is in better shape than me," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Nicus Griffin, a Master-at-Arms assigned to the 628th Security Forces Squadron at JB Charleston-Weapons Station.

"My resolution is to drop down to five percent body fat," said Griffin. "Right now I'm at 13, but I am pushing hard to reach my goal by doing a lot of cardio and some weights, but mainly just trying to eat right.

"Eating healthy seems like an easy thing to do, but it has actually been pretty hard," Griffin continued. "I've had to keep switching my foods because it gets boring. People tend to look for the easy way out and with the convenience of fast food restaurants it's easy to find excuses not to prepare healthy meals. But, if you want to lose weight and be healthy, you have to cut out the excuses and take time to make those meals. No one can snap their fingers and make you healthy and fit - you have to do it for yourself."

Airman 1st Class Michael Long said that his New Year's resolution, like many others, was to get his body ready for the beach, implementing basketball and other fun cardio activities into his workout routine. Long is assigned to the 628 SFS at JB Charleston - Weapons Station.

"I think it is really important to add a lot of cardio activities into a daily workout. Whether it is basketball or running, it is still a form of cardio that will help you reach your goal," Long said. "Endurance is essential for me to do my job. If I am struggling to catch my breath while chasing down a suspect then I can't effectively do my job and that is not acceptable."

According to Lt. Cmdr. Vincent Johnson, Naval Health Clinic Charleston's department head for Military Medicine, staying fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is all about readiness and staying within the standards.

"Almost everyone comes up with the resolution to get in shape and eat healthier; unfortunately a lot of times people give up and go back to what they know - fast foods and such," said Johnson. "If you are serious about making your life healthier you have to understand it is a lifestyle change. This is not something you do just every-once-in-a-while, this is for the rest of your life.

"Working out contributes to the bigger picture; the overall emotional, physical and mental health of a person. It may seem hard to start and even harder to keep going, but in the end it will result in a better all around life that makes you feel better about yourself and builds up confidence."

"We provide a service where patrons can come in for a nominal fee and put their vehicle up on a lift, change their oil, do brake work or most kind of maintenance on the vehicle."

The shop is equipped with 11 indoor stalls with seven vehicle lifts, a full range of tools available for check out and nine outdoor overhaul stalls for long term work. It is open Tuesday, Friday, Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Air Force officials announce enlisted constrained jobs list

By Eric M. Grill Air Force Personnel, Service and Manpower Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – Air Force officials announced Jan. 10, the fiscal 2012 career job reservation program with 16 Air Force Specialty Codes placed on the constrained list.

Career job reservations allows the Air Force to control the number of first-term Airmen re-enlisting in career fields where projected manning levels exceed the needs of the Air Force. This is the first time since 2007 the Air Force is using a constrained listing.

The AFSCs and career fields on the constrained list are the following: -- 2A6X1, Aerospace Propulsion -- 2A6X4, Aircraft Fuel Systems -- 2A7X3, Aircraft Structural Maintenance -- 2T0X1, Traffic Management -- 2T1X1, Vehicle Operations

-- 3D1X1, Client Systems Technician -- 3D1X3, Radio Frequency Transmission Systems -- 3E7X1, Fire Protection -- 3E9X1, Emergency Management -- 3M0X1, Services -- 3N0X4, Still Photography -- 3P0X1, Security Forces -- 4A1X1, Medical Materiel -- 4A2X1, Biomedical Equipment -- 4Y0X1, Dental -- 8M0O0, Postal First-term Airmen in these AFSCs who entered their CJR window as of Jan. 1 are affected, said Chief Master Sgt. Shannon Parker, the Air Force Personnel Center chief of Air Force skills management branch.

"All first-term Airmen must have an approved CJR to reenlist," she said.

The Selective Reenlistment Program automatically requests a CJR for first-term Airmen when they enter their

first month of eligibility. Airmen serving in a constrained AFSC will be added to a waiting list and compete for monthly quotas based on a rank-order process.

Airmen and their supervisors will receive CJR notification reflecting their status monthly starting in February. The virtual Military Personnel Flight will also be updated to reflect the Airman's CJR status.

First-term Airmen in constrained AFSCs are prohibited from extending for any reason while pending a CJR or while on the CJR wait-list. The exception is for Airmen overseas who are required to obtain additional retainability to become eligible for their continental United States return assignment.

All first-term Airmen, including those on the CJR waiting list may apply for retraining or a special duty.

Airmen not approved for a CJR and not selected for retraining may reapply for retraining or special duty, provided they are not within 120 days of their date of separation.

Quotas for constrained AFSCs will be posted on the Air Force Personnel Services website when available.

CMSAF discusses top issues with Airmen and civilians

By Tech. Sgt. Randy Redman 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Roy addressed a capacity crowd of Airmen and civilians at the Langley Theater on Jan. 11, and covered a wide variety of key Air Force issues.

Roy spoke on topics such as training, force management programs and how the current budget will affect operations, and took questions from Airmen on promotion, mentorship, retirement and commissioning programs.

"Hopefully you've all had a chance to hear the new defense strategy. If you haven't, I would challenge you to go and read it," said Roy, offering his support for the president's recent announcement that the military will refocus its efforts on the Asia-Pacific region and cyber warfare.

Roy said there are many changes coming to how the military operates at home and abroad, and how most of these changes are driven by the current budget constraints facing the entire nation, including the $487 billion cut to Defense spending over the next 10 years.

"Will that change the way we operate? You bet it will, but I like the way the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, General (Norton) Schwartz, says it, 'You've got to understand that we are a $100 billion Air Force, and we are the best Air Force there is.'"

As always, Roy said his highest priority is taking care of the men and women who serve in the greatest Air Force the world has ever known.

"What I'm concerned about is what education, training and experiences would be taken away from you. I've got to make sure we continue to develop you in such a way that you are prepared for the future," Roy said.

Because of the current financial issues facing the Air Force, Roy said only 45 percent of the budget for travel for Enlisted Professional Military Education is currently funded.

Additionally, Col. Stewart Price, Air Education and Training's Barnes Center commander, recently announced that travel for senior leaders to attend EPME graduations for their personnel has been permanently suspended. These changes are only the beginning of how EPME will transform in the coming years.

"One of the things that we are trying to do is what I call EPME Next. You will hear more about that soon, but what I will tell you is that we are trying to make sure that you continue to get what I call the core," said Roy, referring to basic training and technical schools. He said those are the foundation of our culture, and what enables us to achieve monumental success on a daily basis.

"If you are working on the flightline on the F-22 (Raptor), the most modern aircraft we have in the inventory today, and you have not been to tech school and learned the fundamentals of maintaining that thing, do you think we are going to get the same level of expertise? I don't think so. So we've got to hold onto that core," said Roy. On a lighter note, Roy said training opportunities for EPME have been recently designated internationally.

"We have now opened up a couple of schools across the

globe that we accept as equivalent courses to our NCO Academy, and particularly our Senior NCO Academy," said Roy, dropping hints at potential opportunities in Canada, South America, Singapore, New Zealand and Africa.

In addition to these initiatives, Roy said the Air Force is making sure it is taking care of its people.

"We realize that we are still at war; there are people being shot at and people being blown up, and we need to make sure that you and your family are resilient," said Roy. "I clap my hands every time I mention it, because it was really ACC that started Comprehensive Airman Fitness."

CAF, which was spearheaded by Gen. William M. Fraser III, the former ACC commander, is a program that focuses on four pillars of wellness.

"Being fit to fight means more than just being physically fit," Fraser said. "With all of the demands on our Airmen and their families, psychological and emotional health are just as important to our overall fitness, and to our readiness as a command."

Roy said there are plenty of Airmen who are affecting battle space around the globe from their home station. When they get off work and have to take care of their day-to-day responsibilities, like mowing the lawn or changing diapers, those Airmen face mental challenges none of the other services endure.

"There are quite a few ways that manifests itself... we've had seven suicides already this year," Roy said. "What do I say about that? Know yourself, but be a good wingman. It's not just a one-on-one approach. If you see somebody struggling, go to them and help them. That's being a good wingman."
