Motivated Airmen complete new Security Force Augmentation Training Courtesy of the 628th Security Force Squadron
Before joining the "real Air Force" as finance, civil engineering, maintenance and force support specialists, 22 Airmen, who had just graduated from the First Term Airmen Center, Jan. 22, 2015, were selected to become the newest members of the Security Forces Augmentee Program. After two-and-a-half days of training, these Airmen became Joint Base Charleston's first security forces augmentees under a reinvigorated wing augmentation program. As the Air Force faces an uncertain future, persistent cuts and more requirements with fewer people, being an Airman is more demanding than ever. These Airmen were learning that lesson as they prepared to personally become part of the Integrated Defense team, learning everything from using a police baton to subduing and searching an uncooperative offender – and a whole lot in-between. Security Forces Augmentee Training is designed to take Airmen outside of their career field and provide them with the essential skills to perform basic security and police functions in order to assist security forces members during times of heightened threat and need. "Security forces augmentation provides the Joint Base Integrated Defense Forces with enough personnel to ensure the security of the installation is maintained during increased force protection conditions," said Master Sgt. Gary Gilliam, 628th Security Forces Squadron NCO in charge of training. To meet this need, Airmen, mostly graduates from JB
Charleston FTAC, embark on a course that includes both classroom and hands-on exercises that show them the fundamentals of what security forces does, such as guardmount procedures, apprehending a suspect, searching, handcuffing and other duties. "It is important training and excellent public relations for security forces," said Department of the Air Force Police Officer Jimmy Brown, 628th SFS trainer. "It allows them to get a better feel of what security forces does and to better understand our important mission of how security forces trains." The training included 10 physically demanding core tasks, including basic integrated defense concepts, use of force, team tactics, handcuffing, searches and more. Whether it is police tactics training or search techniques that are taught, it is apparent the training helps carry out Charleston's mission. "In times of critical need, we just don't have enough manning to protect every facet of our mission," said Lt. Col. Brad Brainard, 628th SFS commander. "The armed Security Force Augmentee Program fills gaps and ensures the base mission and people are secure." The training can be an enjoyable and eye-opening experience. "Inside every Airman is a defender," said Capt. Jonathan Blount, 628th SFS operations officer. "The augmentee training these Airmen completed brought out that defender and unleashed the warrior ethos every member of the military has."
Overall, security forces augmentee training is a valuable tool that provides a deeper appreciation for those who wear the security force shield. "The information I gained was valuable and it can be used during personal situations at my day-to-day job," said Airman 1st Class Marco Small-Gonzalez, 628th Civil Engineer Squadron heavy equipment operator. While the 628th SFS trains augmentees to protect the base, it does not take a trained eye to notice something out of place, as everyone is part of the integrated defense team. "If you see something that looks out of the ordinary, say something to the gate sentries as you're passing through or call 911," advises Blount. "Just don't assume somebody has already reported it and leave it at that." Security force augmentees carry this same mentality far beyond the end of their training. Equipped with knowledge of Integrated Defense, or total force awareness, they become first-line defenders in their workplaces as well. The augmentee program is a real force multiplier, as these Airmen disperse their new knowledge to peers, supervisors and leadership to strengthen the innermost security of the base. "At our graduation ceremony, several new augmentees related that after going through the training, they had a deeper appreciation, both physically and mentally, of the challenges of being a security forces member and a greater respect of the career field's commitment to securing people and resources 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, under any conditions," Brainard said.

Editor's Note: On Jan. 27, 2015, the Air Force Public Affairs family lost one of it's own, Col. Aaron Burgstein, a former 1st Combat Camera commander, to a hard fought battle with cancer. In memory of Col. Burgstein, we are re-running his commentary about leadership, as he was the ultimate leader.
Leadership - it's not rocket science, it's harder By Col. Aaron D. Burgstein 1st Combat Camera Squadron commander
"It's not rocket science!" How often do we hear that about something? It's a pretty common phrase to indicate that something is not as difficult as you may think. While I am willing to bet that rocket science is difficult, I am positive that leadership is not easy. Yep, leadership is certainly not rocket science. It can be harder. Most sciences have rules, equations and formulas that will either work or won't work. Leadership? Not so much. Sure, there are literally thousands of books out there on how to lead. Even Attila the Hun has a book on leadership, but it is not the kind of science that has a right and a wrong answer. One cannot read a book and suddenly become a good leader. So what does go into making a good leader? While some think leadership is about rank or position, leadership is actually about leading. I once read that leadership is the art of influencing people to do something. That is because it is about the people. It is not about managing. Managing is about things. Leadership is about people.

As Luckily, the Air Force will give you Simon Sinek, a leadership plenty of opportunities to learn about guru, points out "... there leadership and practice it as well, are leaders and there are because it is something you have to those who lead. Leaders practice - a lot. Moreover, leadership is hold a position of power about caring. Leaders care - they care or authority.

At the same time, it is important to take care of The most important thing a leader can do for his or her Airmen is to give them time. Time to get to yourself as well. Leaders lead from the front.

They take the time to talk to their and taking care of oneself, mentally, physically and Airmen about their future. They take the time to help morally is just as important as anything else. Rockets have a team of people to take care of their Airmen when they are in need. A good leader makes the Airmen their top priority. When you talk them. So do our Airmen.

Make your first impression a lasting impression By Master Sgt. Eric Cicogna 628th Force Support Squadron first sergeant
From the time I was able to comb my own hair, my dad would coach me on first impressions and always putting your best foot forward. Make sure you're showered, hairs' combed, no dirt under your nails, clothes are clean and serviceable or in his words "don't look or act like a bum." It's something that has stuck with me throughout and even though we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, sometimes we have to trust our gut instinct. Every day through your daily interactions, everyone you meet becomes a potential addition to your team, a customer or even a new boss. Your first impression should make a positive lasting impression. When you first meet someone the brain makes a thousand decisions within the first few seconds of meeting. Humans are hard wired to judge upon first impressions. Is this a friendly person? How are they dressed? Are they trustworthy? Some of us adjust our judgment after the initial interaction and sometimes we do not. In my opinion, "Excellence in all we do" should be the stepping stone for us to strive to leave a good lasting impression. Understanding how important good first impressions are can be a key component of moving the mission forward. As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. By following dress and appearance standards, as well as customs and courtesies, you are already on the right track. Everything you do or don't do takes away from your credibility. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a 19th Century American poet and philosopher, once said, "In essence, what you are shouts at me so loudly, I cannot hear a word you are saying."
If it's not helping you, it's hurting you, use these techniques to create a positive first impression: • Proper attitude, warm smile and a warm greeting. Your attitude will ultimately sell you, but you should always make a conscious choice of what attitude you want to project to people. • Posture, confidence and authenticity. Standing tall and wide with your head up high are signals of confidence. Fake it till you make it they say, but being your authentic self will shine through. • Firm handshake and eye contact. Confidence can be extended through physical touch when you shake hands. Making eye contact increases that connection, transmits energy and indicates interest. What color eyes does that person have? Being able to recall it later means you were in the moment and paying attention. • Good listener and engaging. If you are in the moment then you are listening, which brings opportunities. • Vulnerability and humor. Again be authentic, let people into your circle and keep a sense of humor. • Speak with clarity and knowledge. Don't speak just to hear yourself talk, know what you are talking about. As you continue to strive to be a better leader, remember, the impression you make can be lasting. As we slim the force down, and keep most of the task status the same, it will be crucial for leaders to not judge until they get to know their people. Encourage excellence and strive for a genuine first impression from a new troop or a supervisor or even yourself. Have a goal to diminish judgment, even though it can be a natural response. However, getting to know your people and knowing yourself is a key component to moving the mission forward. Know your people! It is why lasting impressions are important.
Lessons learned in protecting social media accounts
By Brig. Gen. Kathleen Cook Director of Public Affairs, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force
WASHINGTON – On a Saturday afternoon in late November, I was informed about a political remark that appeared on my Director of Public Affairs Twitter feed. A staff member called to ask if I was aware of the re-tweet. At the time, I was on leave, out of the state, tending to my daughter who had had surgery the day before. I was unaware of the retweet and when told of its substance, I arranged for a member of my staff to remove the tweet from the feed.
As far as how a tweet was unknowingly retweeted from my organizational account, we do not have a definitive answer. I realize this response may be unfulfilling to some, but it’s the truth. That said, as the owner of the account, I accept responsibility for its content. What is clear is we’ve learned several lessons about protecting the security of social media accounts. Granted the lessons aren’t new, but it’s my hope that by highlighting them just one more time, others might avoid similar incidents. - If you assume an organizational/positional account from a predecessor, change the password. Also, find out who else has/had access and deter-
mine if additional administrators are necessary. - Make sure your password is difficult and not predictable. - If others post on your behalf, consider having them include their initials behind their input. - Never store passwords on a shared drive. - Always log out and lock your device before walking away, putting it down, or tossing it in your pocket or purse. In the end, what I know to be true is that the account belongs to me and I accept responsibility for it. I’ve applied the lessons above to safeguard both my personal and professional accounts and encourage every Airman reading this to do the same.

SAPR Corner Military Protective Order
By Florine King Sexual Assault Response coordinator, Joint Base Charleston – Air Base
In order to have a Military Protective Order issued, the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator or the SAPR Victim Advocate, are required to inform sexual assault victims at the time of reporting an unrestricted report that they can be protected by an MPO and have the option to request a transfer from the assigned command. The commander shall execute procedures regarding issuing a MPO. When the victim is transferred to a new command, the order will no longer be valid. After being transferred, if the victim still believes the MPO is necessary to keep him or her safe, the victim, the SARC or SAPR VA may ask the commander, who issued the MPO, to contact the new commander and advise him or her of the MPO and, the circumstances. A military protective order is issued by a commander to an active-duty service member to protect the victim of sexual assault, and to control the behavior of the alleged offender. The MPO orders the alleged offender to stay away from the family home if they currently live on a military installation. This applies to the service member and any individuals stated in the MPO who do not reside on a military installation at any time during the duration of the MPO. The commander will notify the appropriate civilian authorities when an MPO is issued
and the individuals involved in the order. Commanders may tailor the order to meet the specific needs of the victim. An MPO issued by the commander is enforceable while the service member is attached to the command that issued the order and will remain in effect until the commander terminates the order or issues a replacement order. Commanders should ensure that the person seeking the MPO is advised that the MPO is not enforced by civilian authorities off base. If the victim desires protection off base, they should seek a civilian protective order. If the MPO is violated off the installation, it should be reported to the issuing commander, Department of Defense Law Enforcement, and the relevant Military Criminal Investigative Office for investigation. If the alleged service member violates the MPO, he or she can be disciplined under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Depending on a number of factors, a violation of an MPO may result in nonjudicial punishment, court-martial proceedings, or other disciplinary measures. DID YOU KNOW: In FY 13 there were a total of 1047 cases of sexual assault reported in the AF, which was up 32% from FY 12, which were a total of 790 reported cases during FY12. 39% of those reported were restricted reports totaling 412 cases and, 18% of those restricted reports converted to unrestricted.
Chapel Corner Give thanks for catfish
By Chaplain, Lt. Col. Daniel Thompson Joint Base Charleston Chapel
While I may not be much of a fish eater, I realize that many people are. In fact, restaurants will pay good money to have codfish shipped in from the Northeastern U.S., just to enjoy this delicacy. Because of such a public demand for the fish, shipping companies had to discover how best to transport this hot item. They tried all sorts of ways, such as shipping them alive in tanks of seawater, yet that lost the cod’s flavor and was
too expensive. After much experimentation, one innovative person placed the codfish in the same tank of water with its natural enemy, the catfish. By the time the cod reached their final destinations, those cantankerous catfish not only gave the cod a nice workout, yet added flavor, texture, and amazing freshness. Are catfish swimming in your tank? Maybe it's somebody at work whose irritating existence drives you insane. But think of it this way, those cantankerous individuals are there to keep all the cod from getting soft, gushy, and tasteless. For this we should give thanks.

Humans of JB Charleston
“I want to show that women can serve in the military and be just as successful as men if not more. The military gives me the purpose I am looking for and the benefit of traveling around the world. I graduated high school in New Orleans, La., and have a younger brother, Alij, who is preparing to join the Air Force as well.” - Alasha Green, U.S. Air Force security forces Airman at Joint Base Charleston
“I grew up in a rough area in West Virginia and had been living on my own since I was 16 years old. When I was 20 years old I realized I was headed down a bad path and new I needed to make a change. A lot of my friends were joining the Marines, and well, I cut all my hair off and joined the Army. They had the most rugged looking uniform and I wanted to do rugged work. I joined as infantry and deployed for 15 months in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2007 through 2008. My supervisors had the greatest impact on me during my first few years in service. I grew up without a father or brothers in my life and my leaders and peers were great examples of what I wanted to be; they truly took over the roles I had missed out on during my youth. They became my brothers and sisters-in-arms. I have a wife and daughter now and love the time I’ve spent in the Army. I don’t know where I would be right now if I hadn’t joined.” - James Wilson, U.S. Army staff sergeant at Joint Base Charleston
TSP Update - Team Charleston
From Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs
Beginning February 1, 2015, the Roth TSP deduction election will change and require members to make a manual update in MyPay from a specified dollar amount to a percentage. This change applies ONLY to the Roth TSP. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will implement these capabilities that enable DoD to comply with Roth TSP requirements. Notifications of the changes were made to members with the Roth TSP election through individual SmartDoc emails and LES remarks, starting Oct. 1 of last year. If a member had been contributing to the Roth TSP, they were informed through email that their dollar amount deduction would stop at the end of January 2015 and they would need to restart their allotment by applying a separate percentage deduction to basic pay, special pay, incentive pay and bonus pay. If members have not yet made the change, there is still a small window of time to make the update and avoid uninterrupted contributions. Members have until Jan. 31, 2015, to restart their Roth deduction using MyPay. If not restarted by this deadline, contributions will lapse until the member chooses to restart them. It's important to note that members must apply a minimum election of 1% to their base pay if they elect to apply ANY
percentage to special, incentive or bonus pay. As of January 22, 2015, only 56 percent of the members who had Roth TSP plans have restarted their Roth TSP with a designated percentage. Supervisors are encouraged to work with their members to make necessary updates immediately. The following link provides screen shots on how to change to the Compatibility View in the web browser, as some members have required this update to make the Roth TSP changes in MyPay: https://afpims.dma.mil/shared/media/document/AFD150128-028.pdf If still unable to make the Roth TSP update using MyPay, members can visit the following link for a TSP-U-1 election form and bring it into Finance Customer Service: https://afpims.dma.mil/shared/media/document/AFD150128-030.pdf This option should be used a last resort, as it will take longer for the update to take effect given the short timeline and the current backlog at DFAS. For questions regarding this change, please contact Finance at 963-3715.
