Airman works through night to feed flightline members By Capt. Christopher Love 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

Airman 1st Class Carissa Vancise, 628th Force Support Squadron food service apprentice, prepares salads for customers during her 12-hour night shift Feb. 10, 2015, at the flight kitchen on Joint Base Charleston, S.C. Vancise hails from Warren, Pa., and has been working night shift since October, 2014.

Airman 1st Class Carissa Vancise, 628th Force Support Squadron food service apprentice, prepares salads for large and small meals Feb. 10, 2015, at the flight kitchen on Joint Base Charleston, S.C. Vancise works 12 hour shifts throughout the night to provide ground support meals to base personnel to include aircrew, maintenance, and security forces, as well as passengers travelling on Space Available flights. Meal options consist of sandwiches, salads and breakfast items.

When most of us have settled down for dinner back at home, Airman 1st Class Carissa Vancise has only just arrived for work. When, a few hours later, we head for sleep, Vancise is just getting started. And when, sometime around midnight, we're busy dreaming about our next meals, she is busy serving them – and will be, until we rise for another day. This is Carissa Vancise, a food service apprentice with the 628th Force Support Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. A native of Warren, Pa., Vancise has been a member of Team Charleston since March, 2013, beginning her time at the Robert D. Gaylor Dining Facility before switching to the base's flight kitchen in October of last year. She has been working night shift ever since. "It has its days. If we have a commander's call or squadron physical training, it makes for a more tiring night shift. But on a typical day, it's not too bad," Vancise said. As the sole employee at the flight kitchen during night shift, Vancise has two primary jobs: to supply meals for the flightline mission and to meet customers' needs.

"Sometimes we'll get lots of meal requests at the same time," she said. "You'll be scrambling while trying to keep your customers happy. It doesn't happen that often, but when it does it can be hectic." After arriving at work, Vancise conducts a register exchange with the Airman from the previous shift, before taking inventory and assessing what she expects to serve that night. She then begins preparing meals based on that assessment. The flight kitchen averages 70 customers on a good night, consisting mainly of maintainers, security forces defenders and crew chiefs. Interacting with these customers is the highlight of Vancise's evening. "I have my regulars," she said. "They come in at the same time and get the same thing. They joke around. It gives them a break. They always seem fairly pleased with the choices." She especially enjoys opportunities to help others. "I get the occasional customers who haven't been here for a few years," she said. "I help them navigate new policy changes. They usually leave good comment cards." Vancise works from 5:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. She is one of many Team Charleston members who keep the mission going after dark.

NNPTC classrooms remain open until midnight, so students can study any part of the curriculum. Instructors also stay after hours to work with Sailors individually, which is not always possible during a typical school day.

Joint Base Charleston – An awesome association! By Col. Caroline Evernham 315th Operations Group commander

I wonder how often people assigned here realize or even think about all the elements that are associating as part of the total and joint force here on Joint Base Charleston? I have been here about a year now, and I would like to let you know that I'm very impressed with what I've seen, and I really think we at JB Charleston lead the way as far as the concept of associations go! Associations are not new to the Air Force. The classic associate model that we (the 315th Airlift Wing) have, where the active-duty "own" the equipment (for us the mighty C-17s on our ramp) and the Reserve component augments the activeduty side in fulfilling the mission, has been around for a very long time. The association between the 437th Airlift Wing and the 315th AW on what used to be Charleston Air Force Base has been in place since July 1973. So for more than 40 years, these two wings have been sharing aircraft, equipment, mission, facilities and more. Our aircrews train and deploy both separately and together; our maintenance groups are integrated on many levels and work side-by-side daily. During drill weekends, Reservists often take over active-duty offices in order to serve and support the drilling Reservists who flow into the base. In 2005, the Base Realignment and Closure

Commander’s Action Line

The Commander's Action Line is your direct link to me as the commander of Joint Base Charleston. I would ask that you first give the appropriate base agency a chance to solve the problem, but if you don't get a satisfactory answer, call me at 963-5581, or send an e-mail to 628.abw.pa@us.af.mil. This forum is your opportunity to make Joint Base Charleston a better place to live, work and play. This is also your venue to tell me how our Airmen, Sailors, Air Force and Navy Civilians and Contractors are supporting you as a customer. To ensure you receive a response to your concerns, please leave your name and the information needed to contact you. Question: I'm calling about the cutting of the hours at the base gym. It's affecting the dependent family community and the retirement community utilizing the gym. It's also affecting some of the exercise classes that are taught at the gym.

Response: First and foremost, thank you for your call. The Force Support Squadron is currently in a large deployment rotation which has had significant impact on the staffing of the Air Base Fitness center. Although we are able to provide the required hours of operations per Air Force guidance, we were required to reduce the hours of operation from what was previously available. We sincerely regret the inconvenience this has caused some of our patrons. However, there is good news on the horizon. Air Force Services has scheduled a site visit for this coming May, which should allow us to install and begin operating the fitness center with 24-hour access. During the period when the fitness center is not staffed, patrons will be able to access the fitness center with their common access card. We believe this option, along with the "normal" hours of operations, will satisfy all the needs of our patrons. Thank you for calling the Action Line. Col. Jeffrey DeVore - Joint Base Charleston Commander

Airfield and aircrew safety, after dark

Story and photos by Senior Airman Dennis Sloan Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Senior Airman Kathryn Raethel, 437th Operations Support Squadron Airfield Management technician, drives the entire length of the flight line during her night shifts, looking for any damaged or burnt out runway lights as well as directional signs used by aircraft Feb. 9, 2015, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. Whenever an in-flight emergency occurs, the Base Operations office is notified and begins informing several different agencies to handle the delicate situation.

As the sun sets and the street lights come on, many service members and civilians from Joint Base Charleston head home after a long day of work. Meanwhile, some base members are just clocking in. Airmen from the 437th Operation Support Squadron work 24 hours a day, seven days a week providing flying operations support to the 437th and 315th Airlift Wings. Two units that provide this support well into the night are Aircrew Flight Equipment and Base Operations. "One of the most important parts of our job can only be accomplished at night, "said Senior Airman Kathryn Raethel, 437th OSS Airfield Management technician. "With several military and civilian aircraft landing and taking off from here, there are thousands of lights that guide them and my job is to make sure they're all on." Raethel drives the entire length of the flight line during her night shifts, looking for any damaged or burnt out runway lights as well as directional signs used by aircraft. "I enjoy the versatility of our mission," said Raethal. "I spend half my days out on the flight line and the other half in the office. I get the best of both worlds." Whenever an in-flight emergency occurs, the Base Operations office is notified and and begins informing several different agencies to handle the delicate situation. "We interface with just about every agency on base," said Raethal. "When we get an inflight emergency call, it's my job to immediately notify the fire department, medical personnel and many others to make sure the situation is handled as quick as possible." While Base Operations Airmen ensure the safety of the airfield after hours, their teammates in Aircrew Flight Equipment focus their efforts on the safety of the crews members themselves. Their mission is to maintain and supply all aircrew members with safe and reliable equipment. AFE Airmen handle and maintain night vision goggles, helmets, masks and even parachutes. AFE Airmen go through extensive training to learn about every piece of equipment they maintain and earn certifications to accomplish certain aspects of their job. One job in particular which requires certification is parachute packing. "There is no room for error in my job and I take pride in that," said Senior Airman Robert McCoy, 437th OSS aircrew flight equipment technician. "We handle several items of equipment which need to work perfectly to assist aircrew members during emergencies and daily operations." Even after dark when the C-17 Globemaster III's are only lit by the moonlight, AFE Airmen make their way to the aircraft and perform their inspections. Using available lights within the aircraft as well as flashlights, the Airmen go around and inspect the seats, masks and other equipment used by the aircrew. "I enjoy working the night shifts," said Senior Airman Justin Turner. "I find it is a bit easier to focus solely on the immediate task at hand, whereas during the day there can be several distractions. It is an honor to do this mission and I'll gladly work day or night to make sure aircrew members have safe and reliable equipment at all times."

Senior Airman Justin Turner, 437th Operations Support Squadron Aircrew Flight Equipment technician, inspects a parachute before storing it for future use Feb. 9, 2015, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. AFE works through the night to provide aircrew members with safe and reliable equipment, including night vision goggles, helmets, masks and even parachutes.
