There will be blood

By 2nd Lt. Alexandra Trobe Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Senior Airman Melissa Goslin, 1st Combat Camera photojournalist, donates blood during the American Red Cross blood drive Feb. 5, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, S.C. The donated blood will be sent to a Red Cross blood component laboratory where it will be processed into several components; red blood cells, plasma, platelets and/or cryoprecipitate. A single blood donation may help up to three people.

Facing a potential blood shortage, military installations around the country have been scrambling to get more people to donate blood. Medical officials at Joint Base Charleston say they normally run low on blood supplies in January after the holidays, and this year, their demand has increased significantly. Service members choose not to donate blood for a variety of reasons, but at the end of the day it is important to remember the purpose behind why we donate blood and how it benefits our deployed troops in need. By increasing our knowledge of the blood donation process and working to overcome our personal misgivings, everyone should be able to donate their blood

for this worthy cause. Some people are afraid to give blood because of an aversion to needles, or they believe the process will be too painful. This is the most common concern for people who do not wish to give blood. A lot of people share those fears and are still able to give blood. According to surveys conducted by the American Red Cross, people who give blood report they feel a very slight pinch at the needle insertion. After 10 minutes, they are finished and wondering why they were afraid. The technicians at the blood draw sites are trained to make the process as painless as possible. The survey also indicates that participants enjoy the rewarding feeling of donating blood more than their dislike of the discomfort of needles. According to the See Blood Drive, Page 3

INSIDE

It was once called initiation. Through the years, initiation became induction, induction became transition, and now, transition has become CPO 365. CPO 365 is a year-round training initiative Chief Petty Officer messes (associations) throughout the Navy conduct to prepare all first class petty officers (E-6) to become chiefs (E-7). Introduced in 2010 under former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Rick West, CPO 365 includes two phases, the first of which continues year round. "As soon as we pin anchors on our new chiefs in September at the end of Phase Two, we roll right back into Phase One," said Master Chief Robert Bostic, Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston command master chief. "Year round training in the form of Phase One provides us the opportunity to work with our first classes and prepare them for the additional responsibilities they will

assume once they put on their chief's anchors." At Joint Base Charleston, CPO 365 is a joint effort of the LowCountry CPO Association, made up of chiefs from the Naval Support Activity Charleston, the Naval Health Clinic Charleston, the Naval Consolidated Brig and the Naval Munitions Command. Seasoned chief petty officers guide all four commands' first class petty officers through a variety of subjects, from leadership training to personal appearance and physical fitness, as well as Navy culture and history. But, while the chiefs are there to guide and keep the discussions lively, the training itself is conducted by the first classes. "My job is coordinating with the first classes who will actually do the teaching and training," said Senior Chief Petty Officer John Infante, NHCC Clinical Support services and CPO 365 coordinator. "We (the chiefs) supplement their training with our knowledge, See CPO 365, Page 3

Commander's perspective COMMENTARY

By Col. Dennis P. Dabney 437th Maintenance Group commander

A physically accurate but cynical view of leadership turnover is the "hand in the bucket of water" analogy. I heard this comparison early in my career when my supervisor told me not to worry about doing much because right now I am the hand in a bucket of water. When I leave and the "hand" is removed, the water will take the place of my hand like I wasn't even there. I would argue that what is left when you depart your current assignment is your legacy. Do your Airmen know what is important to you? Do you emulate the Air Force core values? Are you an inspiration to your Airmen? Do you know what is going on in their lives? Can you steer them to helping agencies when the time comes? Did you improve the unit and inspire innovation among your Airmen? Did you recognize, discipline, guide, mentor, direct and coach your team along the way? What kind of continuity will you provide to your replacement? Are initiatives and programs launched on your watch codified to continue in perpetuity? Did you reach your Airmen on a personal level through analog communication? These questions and how you respond to them are the hallmark of leaving a lasting legacy and WILL make a difference in their lives. Your legacy does not need to change a nation or the course of history to be memorable on an individual level. It is the small but meaningful things that can make the biggest difference. Those of you who have been in the Air Force for a while may receive glowing notes of thanks via e-mails or phone calls from those you served with in previous assignments. They remember your legacy. You may have also sent a note of thanks to leaders you respect and admire. You were sent to JB Charleston to make a difference. Your position will turn over many times, but your legacy can last forever with those who served with you.

Joint Base Charleston finished 2013 very strong; one of our capstone achievements was providing logistics support at a national level after the passing of former South African President Nelson Mandela. His struggle against the oppressive regime in South Africa made him a historic icon. Like many on that day, I monitored news and social media streams to read and listen to the reactions to his passing. What struck me the most was the far reaching impact his life had on so many people around the world. Several current and former world leaders came forward to speak about how Mandela had touched their lives. Presidents Obama and Carter, Prince William, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, various celebrities and musicians who sang for his freedom, all told personal stories of how they were inspired by his life. The former South African leader and statesman's courage, leadership, humility and political acumen have been captured in many motion pictures, and his life will continue to be an inspiration to many on an individual level for years to come. Mandela's legacy even touched Joint Base Charleston as the 437th Airlift Wing and mission partners executed logistics support to President Obama as he attended the memorial events with other world leaders. In a much more practical sense, JB Charleston will be heading into a period of transition with changes in leadership across the base. My question to you is simple: If you are newly arrived or nearing the end of your tour, what will be your legacy? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a legacy is something that happened in the past or that comes from someone in the past. How will you be remembered?

Did you notice the difference? Commentary by Lt. Col. Lonnie Hammack 21st Mission Support Group

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – As I contemplated this article and the fact that it would be published during February, which is African American History Month, I thought at first that perhaps I'm not the best candidate to write this. After all, I'm not African-American or any other ethnic minority. Upon further reflection, I decided that some of the experiences I had growing up may be applicable. So step back a few decades in time with me for just a few minutes. The area of the country I'm from was very late in ending racial segregation. Even though my home county in Georgia was nearly equally divided between Caucasians and African-Americans, the only black person I knew until I was 8 years old was a lady that worked for my grandfather. The entire society around me was segregated. My elementary school was all white and the black elementary school was on the other side of town. Before I started third grade, my father tried to explain desegregation to my siblings and me. I didn't really understand what was happening. I wasn't happy though because most of my cousins and friends had enrolled in neighboring counties and I would no longer see them at school. The first day in Mrs. Mays' class was rough. Desegregation had arrived, I didn't know many people and this one black kid kept picking on me.

He called me names (racial slurs) I had never heard before. I didn't know what those names meant, but I could tell he wasn't being nice. After school was over, we went outside and lined up for the bus. The same boy got in line behind me and continued to pick on me. I'd had enough by that time. I turned around and shoved him as hard as I could. He fell down, then quickly got back up, ready to fight. Before we could get started, Mrs. Mays broke it up and administered some much needed discipline (the old fashioned kind). The boy's name was Wayne Whiting and we became best friends shortly after sharing that experience. We were inseparable for many years, although we drifted apart a bit in high school. He retired from the Army several years ago and I lost contact with him, but I think of him often. Why do I tell this story? Because none of us are born with prejudices, racial or otherwise. Wayne didn't know what to expect from me and I didn't know what to expect from him. Maybe he'd had some negative experiences from other white people. I don't know what he thought about me, but he figured out pretty quickly that the only real difference between us was the color of our skin and that didn't really matter to two 8-year-old boys full of energy and mischief. We had many great adventures together after that (and received a number of paddlings for those adventures). One of the things I've enjoyed most about my Air Force career is the zero tolerance we have for racial discrimination. It's very different from the

racially tense atmosphere I grew up in. Once, early in my career, I was visiting home and met with another black classmate who had also joined the Air Force. We talked about the Air Force and after a while and then I asked him, "Did you notice the difference?" He said, "Yes, definitely." I didn't have to explain to him the context of what I meant. The difference in racial tolerance between what we were experiencing in the Air Force versus what we had experienced growing up in southwest Georgia was evident. Does this mean the Air Force has no further work to do in the area of racial reconciliation? No, sadly it is an area in which we must always remain diligent. We bring in people from many different backgrounds and cultures. Some come in with social prejudices that are not compatible with our core values. We must continue to educate our Airmen on the meaning of racial equality and equal opportunity and we must never tolerate deviance from the standard we have set. Our Air Force is much more diverse than when I joined it 30 years ago. I enjoy talking with Airmen from many different cultures. We have so much we can learn from one another. I hope all of you will take the time this month to look around and celebrate our Air Force diversity. (Lt. Col. Lonnie Hammack is the deputy commander of the 21st Mission Support Group)

Leaving a better Air Force Commentary by Master Sgt. Peter Perez 4th Maintenance Group

SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. – Recently, I volunteered to write an article on mentoring, thinking I was pretty good at putting words on paper. If only it were that easy. The honest fact is I'm not really sure how to explain mentoring. After 19 years in the Air Force, I just know it when I see it. My first military experience as a mentor started when I graduated Airman Leadership School 13 years ago and was assigned five Airmen to lead. To give you some idea of what I was up against, two were under investigation for drug possession/distribution. Both would eventually be discharged from the Air Force; not much I could do for those two. But I will always remember one of those five Airmen very distinctly. He is still in the Air Force and even caught up to me as a master sergeant. I watched him progress over the years and am proud that I have been part of his career from the day he showed up at his first assignment. I may have trouble putting into words what mentoring is, but I can sure show you the results. A while back, this standout Airman contacted me to thank me for helping him get where he is in his Air Force career. He also took the time to remind me how hard I was on him and how much of a pain in the neck I was. He was referencing our Thursday ritual. We had a unit requirement to document on-the-job training records every week for Airmen who were in upgrade training. The ideal time to do this was at the end of the week so we could go over everything the Airmen did that week. This allowed me the opportunity to sign them off on tasks they were proficient in or start new tasks if needed. It also provided the perfect opportunity to document where they were at in their career development courses. As a crew chief, my Airman had close to 200 tasks and three volumes of CDCs to finish. Needless to say, we spent a lot of Thursdays together. It got to the point where he knew he couldn't go home on Thursday before we did our review. He would get his training records and track me down wherever I was on the flightline. I will never forget how hard he worked at telling me he was going to get his 90% on the end-of-course CDC test so he could earn his one day pass. He was a smart kid and I

kept telling him he could do it. We were both shocked when he only scored in the mid 80s. I will never forget his response when I asked him what happened. "Sergeant Perez, I would have scored higher if I studied longer but I just wanted to get it over so you would stop hounding me about it." You have to love honest feedback. Some people looked at our Thursday ritual and shook their heads: "Why are you putting so much effort into this? Just sign their stuff and be done with it. They're going to pass, so what does it matter?" I heard all this from fellow noncommissioned officers and it really ticked me off. My Airman deserved better than that. I was his supervisor and I was going to do everything I could to ensure his success. When my Airman contacted me years after that experience, he was an NCO himself. He told me he looked back on that time and realized what I was trying to accomplish. He told me he was doing the same thing with his Airmen because he wanted them to be as successful as he was. Maybe that's what mentoring is -- training not just your replacement, but your replacement's replacement. In a few years I will be gone from the Air Force. I want to look back on my time and know that I left it better than when I found it. I can only do this if I know I have invested everything I have into my Airmen. When I graduated ALS, I had five Airmen. Today I am the proud first sergeant of 165 Airmen. Whether it is five or 165, they all deserve the same opportunity to be mentored and set up for success.

American Red Cross, an average blood donation of approximately a pint can help save up to three lives. In the United States more than 41,000 blood donations are needed every day to maintain the necessary blood supply. "Although an estimated 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate, less than 10 percent do each year," said Julie Oliveri, director of communications and marketing, Armed Services Blood Program Office. It is the responsibility of qualified service members to step up and help out this worthy cause. Another reason people claim they do not want to blood because is because it takes too long. U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Ashlee Galloway Many service members are surprised to Donors roll up their sleeves during the American Red Cross blood drive Feb. 5, learn that the blood collection process 2014, at Joint Base Charleston Air Base, S.C. The donated blood will be sent to takes only about five to 10 minutes, said a Red Cross blood component laboratory where it will be processed into several Oliveri. Additionally, the entire donation components; red blood cells, plasma, platelets and/or cryoprecipitate.

Ultimately, it is a small price to pay for the lives After the donation, it is suggested that donors rest and consume provided food and drink in order to properly recover being benefited through the donations. Another common misconception about blood donation is from this temporary loss of blood. Donating blood can be an anxious time for first time donors, that it will make the donors weak. For many, this is a key factor preventing them from stepping into the medical facility but the highly trained and professional medical staff will be able to address concerns of pain, timeliness and weakness. and donating blood.

challenging the first classes with hypothetical situations based on our real life experiences." Petty Officer First Class Ryan Kinder, Naval Support Activity Administration leading petty officer said, "This training gives us a lot of insight into different methods of leadership. By interacting with the chiefs, we gain a greater understanding of what the Navy's expectations are for us once we put on khakis." Phase One training lasts throughout the year and runs concurrent with Phase Two training which begins when the selectees are announced. Phase Two concludes with the chief petty officer pinning ceremony in September, a period of about six weeks. Many of the Phase Two training requirements are restricted to the actual chief selectees, but nonselectees take part in as much of the training as possible. Phase Two still contains some similarities to the old initiations as they once were. Chief Petty Officer Charge Books, which require selectees to seek out chief petty officers for their advice, and a robust physical training program are two holdovers from the old days, but Phase Two also implements a capstone exercise to get the selectees to focus on teamwork and resilience.

Prior to CPO 365, the Navy did not have a standardized training syllabus in place to train new chief petty officers. Individual chief's messes would often base their training on years of tradition and "the way it was always done." And while much of that tradition is time-honored and still relevant today, many of the taskings once assigned to chief selectees served little purpose and have now been eliminated. "Today's CPO training is not much different than it was in years' past when it comes to the actual business of leadership training," said Bostic. "You have to read and understand the guidance put out by the MCPON. We are still training chiefs and providing them with the tools they will need to be successful deckplate leaders ... we're just doing it smarter and with a purpose or meaning to everything we do." "We take this training very seriously," said Master Chief Petty Officer Joseph Gardner, Naval Support Activity command master chief. "All of us wearing chief's anchors know the importance of this program and as chiefs, we feel a very strong obligation to ensure the young men and women we are training today are going to be worthy of their anchors when they put them on."

Air Force launches enhanced civilian development site

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. – The Ira C. Eaker Center for Professional Development recently made available a new tool to assist civilians with their professional development. The Civilian Development Resource Center is an online clearinghouse providing access to development roadmaps, learning programs and thousands of no-cost courses, books, videos, job aids, simulations, articles and more. Formerly known as the Supervisor Resource Center, the site offers easier navigation and a broader array of resources that support professional development for non-supervisory and supervisory career tracks. The Eaker Center's Future Learning and Civilian Education Division designed the CDRC site to help users quickly target customizable learning programs that focus on their individual development needs. Additionally, students can access courses required for some professional certifications. These assets can be accessed anytime and anywhere, thus providing flexibility and protecting members valuable time. "The civilian workforce is one of the Air Force's greatest assets," said Russell Frasz, the director, directorate of Airman Force Development here. "Continuously developing oneself is a personal responsibility for all Airmen. The Civilian Development Resource Center plays a key role in maintaining Air Force's innovative and competitive edge by assisting personnel to develop their professional competencies in an efficient and cost-conscious manner." The site incorporates flexible learning programs that can be tailored to 23each February 2014 development pathway and includes building blocks that individual's are typical of a civilian's career, such as "new employee," "developing to journeyman employee," "experienced employee," "new supervisor" and "experienced supervisor." To help users focus on the most beneficial areas for development, an assessment tool is available on the site that provides feedback and identifies the skills development needed to improve performance. In addition to the career tracks listed above, topical learning programs are also available and are aligned with the Air Force institutional competencies. A monthly newsletter highlights selected courses, books and learning tips spotlighting various learning programs focused on competency. The CDRC is a self-paced development tool available on demand to meet the needs of current and future Air Force leaders. It is accessible via the Air Force Portal main page under the Career and Training tab. (Information courtesy of the Ira C. Eaker Center for Professional Development)

If you ever wanted to have a meeting with, or speak to, the 628th Air Base Wing command chief, you've probably met Staff Sgt. Olivia Lion. As the 628th ABW command chief's executive assistant, she is the gatekeeper to the wing's senior enlisted leader ... but not for much longer. Lion was recently accepted into the Scholarships for Outstanding Airmen to ROTC program. SOAR offers Air Force personnel the opportunity to earn a commission as an Air Force ROTC cadet. Airmen accepted into the program separate from the Air Force for a period of two to four years in order to pursue a bachelor's degree at an approved university with an ROTC program. Upon graduation, they are commissioned as second lieutenants and must fulfill a four-year obligation on active duty and four years in the Reserves. As the executive assistant to the command chief, Lion's primary responsibilities are making sure the command chief is able to maintain his schedule and keep him on track ... ensuring he is able to efficiently handle the challenges of his office. Lion also runs several programs for the wing including promotion ceremonies, quarterly awards, Below the Zone boards and scheduling squadrons for retreat. Lion attended college at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis,

but left school during her freshman year. Exploring her options, she decided to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather who had been in the Air Force, first as an enlisted Airman, and later as an officer. She planned on becoming a dental hygienist, but while she was waiting to ship out to Basic Military Training, a Security Forces job came along and she took it instead, leaving for BMT in March 2008. It was at her first assignment at RAF Lakenheath, England, when Lion discovered the SOAR Program. "My friend told me about the program. She had already been accepted," said Lion. "At the time, I was too close to my PCS date and moving to Charleston, so I couldn't apply right away. "But, it became my goal to get in. I was going to follow in my grandfather's footsteps." Airmen who apply for the SOAR program compete against other Airmen for one of 54 spots Air Force-wide. Lion was awarded one of eight slots available to Air Mobility Command. For Lion, SOAR was away to stay in the military and make the most out of her career. Lion sent in her application in Sept. 2013. After almost four months of waiting, she finally received the news she'd been waiting for: she was in. "It was unreal," said Lion. "It was such a long wait ... but it felt like my hard work had finally paid off." Chief Master Sgt. Mark Bronson, 628th ABW command chief, says the first word

Staff Sgt. Olivia Lion

that comes to his mind when he thinks about Staff Sgt. Lion is "professional." "To me, she's someone who lives the core values and works really hard and she's been rewarded for it," said Bronson. "It's not a secret that putting your best in everything you do and being professional is the surest way to be successful in the Air Force." Lion will separate from the Air Force in August 2014. Starting in September, she will attend The Citadel to earn her bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice.

17th AS holds change of command ceremony Col. Frederick Boehm, 437th Operations Group commander, hands the 17th Airlift Squadron guidon to Lt. Col. Paul Theriot, during the 17th AS change of command ceremony Feb. 6, 2014, at the Charleston Club on Joint Base Charleston – Air Base. Theriot relieved Lt. Col. Todd Groomes.

The Navy joins our nation in celebrating the vibrant history and culture of African American and black Sailors during African American/Black History Month throughout the month of February. African American Sailors have a legacy of honorable service that permeates our naval history through every major armed conflict since the Revolutionary War. All Hands takes pride in highlighting nine African Americans who blazed trails and changed the course of history forever. Throughout February, the Joint Base Charleston Patriot will honor African American/Black History Month with profiles of prominent African-American Sailors.

Phyllis Mae Dailey

The winning of World War II was a double victory for African Americans. It was a victory over the enemy overseas and a victory over prejudice at home. On March 8, 1945, Phyllis Mae Dailey was inducted into the United States Navy Nurse Corps, following changes in Navy recruitment and admittance procedures that had previously excluded black women from joining the Nurse Corps. The Nurse Corps was one of the last units to accept African Americans, making her selection even more notable. By August 1945, when the war ended, there were just four active duty African American nurses in the Navy Nurse Corps versus more than 6,000 that had served with the Women's Army Corps during the war.

Chief Gunner’s Mate John Henry Turpin

John Henry Turpin enlisted in the Navy on Nov. 4, 1896 at just 19 years old. He was a surviving member of USS Maine's (ACR 1) crew when she was destroyed by an explosion in February 1898. He also survived the boiler explosion on USS Bennington (PG 4) in July 1905. He served on several other ships and left active duty in 1916. He was recalled in April of 1917, when the U.S. entered World War I. On June 1 of that year, aboard the USS Marblehead (C 11), Turbin became a chief gunner's mate; one of the Navy's first African American chief petty officers. He served actively in that rank until he transferred to the Fleet Reserve on March 8, 1919. John Henry Turpin retired as a chief gunner's mate on Oct. 5, 1925.

Walk-in services end April 1 at Joint Base Charleston TRICARE Service Centers

From Naval Health Clinic Charleston Public Affairs

Keeping up with the rapidly increasing number of TRICARE beneficiaries who most often turn to a laptop or cell phone when they have questions, walk-in services at Joint Base Charleston TRICARE Service Centers will no longer be available as of April 1, 2014. At www.tricare.mil, patients of Joint Base Charleston clinics, which include the 628th Medical Group Clinic and the Naval Health Clinic Charleston, can use secure, electronic customer service options to make enrollment and primary care changes, and can do so 24/7. The "I want to..." feature on the homepage makes it easy to navigate the system. Rather than driving to an installation TSC, TRICARE beneficiaries can combine hightech with low-tech by downloading health care forms online and sending them in the old

fashion way, through the U.S. mail - at a cost of less than 50 cents. When walk-in service ends April 1, beneficiaries who want personal assistance can call Humana Military Healthcare Services at 1800-444-5445 for enrollment and benefit help. Beneficiary Counseling and Assistance coordinators are available at both locations to assist customers with benefit information, claims questions, and newborn enrollments. To contact the 628th Medical Group BCAC, call 843-963-6706. To contact the Naval Health Clinic Charleston BCAC, call 843794-6030. By eliminating walk-in customer service at TSCs, the Department of Defense estimates savings of approximately $250 million over five years. The change does not affect TRICARE benefits or health care delivery. For more information, visit www.tricare.mil /TSC.

Reservist assists, honors WWII WASPs at Rose Bowl Parade

They say that birds of a feather flock together. And the same could often be said for females in the aviation field. The bond some servicewomen experience is so strong, in fact, that it can span more than half a century. Such is the case for Senior Master Sgt. Gina Louis, a production supervisor with the 315th Aircraft Maintenance squadron, and a group of fiery former aviators known as the Women Airforce Service Pilots - civilian women who flew for the Army Air Forces and faced much hardship and discrimination during World War II. Louis' close relationship with the group, which developed during the past seven years at numerous events around the country, recently earned her an invitation to escort the WASPs on a trip to the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, Calif. on New Year's Day. She was the only enlisted, non-flying Airman asked to attend - and she did so at her own expense. "Sgt. Louis spent nearly a week away from home during the holiday season helping out these now elderly women in a multitude of ways prior to the parade," said Senior Master Sgt. Glenn Jamieson, 315th AMXS flight chief. In addition to coordinating transportation and logistics for the pilots, many of whom are now in their eighties or nineties, Louis also served as an honorary "float walker." She was charged with calling commands for the officers marching alongside the float on the sixmile parade route.

Louis also had a hand in helping decorate the "Our Eyes are on the Stars" float by placing roses in several spots on the platform. The float, which was adorned exclusively with organic materials such as petals and seeds, won the Rose Bowl Parade National Trophy for best depiction of life in the U.S. "It fit them just right," said Louis of the float and the award. "I can't even explain how detailed it was. Volunteers were working 24 hours a day on it and it took more than 4000 man-hours to complete." According to Louis, events like these are a special way to commemorate and honor the WASPs and their unique service to the country. "It's always a privilege to be around them," Louis said. "The inspiration they give you is truly amazing!" Louis, who, as a Reservist, coordinates repairs for some of America's most advanced flying machines, realizes the important role these women played in allowing her to do so and views her volunteerism as a way to give back. "We see them as our heroes and tell them how thankful we are to them for paving the way for women in the flying world," Louis said. "But they will always turn it around and marvel at what we do now." The bond of friendship Louis shares with the WASPs will likely continue to grow in the coming year. She already has plans to assist them during the Women in Aviation conference taking place in Orlando, Fla. next month and at the group's annual reunion in May, which convenes in Sweetwater, Texas, the same base where the women trained as military pilots more than 70 years ago.

Air Force introduces Volume VIII of Portraits in Courage By Tech. Sgt. Lesley Waters Air Force Public Affairs Agency

www.UCWV.edu

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Air Force released its eighth volume of Portraits in Courage, highlighting three teams and thirteen Airmen for their honor, valor, devotion and selfless sacrifice in the face of extreme danger to themselves and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Airmen are faced with situations like this each and every day around the globe,â&#x20AC;? wrote Air Force Chief of Staff Mark A. Welsh III and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James A. Cody in the volume's preface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And each of them has their own story. In fact, it would take many volumes to highlight them all. They believe in integrity, in service, in excellence and are ready and willing to go in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way.â&#x20AC;? Cody recognized five of the 22 Portraits in

Courage recipients during the Portraits in Courage VIII Honorees Luncheon at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial, Arlington, Va., Feb. 5. The 22 recipients represent all major commands and multiple career fields including medical, pararescue, Air Force Office of Special Investigation, explosive ordnance disposal and others. To date, the Air Force has recognized 175 Airmen through this project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about the future of the Air Force,â&#x20AC;? Welsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has nothing to do with technology. It has nothing to do with talent. It has to do with heart. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never worry, not while these guys are on our side. This is your Air Force.â&#x20AC;? All of this year's Portraits in Courage stories and stories from previous volumes are featured on the Air Force Portraits in Courage website: http://www.af.mil/specials/courage/index.html.
