MRTs teach Airmen to become resilient

Story and photo by Staff Sgt. Anthony Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Joint Base Charleston recently received 10 new Master Resilience Trainers when seven Airmen and three civilians completed the Master Resilience Trainer Course at the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. The new MRTs will help achieve Air Mobility Command's Resilience Strategy 2012, which is to produce a command of fit, resilient Airmen, families, civilians and the Total Force, coping effectively in a community that thrives in the face of challenges and bounces back from adversity.

Joint Base Charleston's new MRT are: • Capt. Timothy Kniefel, 15th Airlift Squadron • Capt. Christopher Skoutas, 16th Airlift Squadron • 2nd Lt. Elizabeth Johnsen, 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron • Senior Master Sgt. Michelle McMeekin, 628th Forces Support Squadron • Master Sgt. William Lipsett, 628th Civil Engineer Squadron • Master Sgt. Timothy Williams, 16th Airlift Squadron • Master Sgt. Phillip Wilson, 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron • Angela Cottman, 628th Force Support Squadron • Andre Garceau, 628th Air Base Wing • Toby Housey, 628th Air Base Wing Equal Opportunity Master Resilient Trainers serve as an integral component to provide trained and certified members as installation experts for Comprehensive Airman Fitness - Resiliency, said Garceau, 628th Air Base Wing Community Support coordinator. MRTs will provide awareness education and skill development techniques for Airmen and their families to enhance individual resilience across the four pillars of CAF: mental, physical, social and spiritual.

“I can understand how the populace could make assumptions about this resiliency training course prior to attending, and seeing it as another mandatory training requirement to combat suicide and negative trends [drinking, DUIs, domestic abuse],” said McMeekin, 628th FSS Career Assistance Advisor and Installation Lead MRT. “This training is not designed to be a program, but a mindset – a cultural shift.”

Air Mobility Command mandates that 80 percent of active-duty Airmen will receive the training by Dec. 31, 2013. The 628th Air Base Wing is currently at 31 percent trained, and the 437th Airlift Wing is at 25 percent.

“With continued encouragement and support to fill all available/offered

classes, we are on target to reach the 80 percent goal of Joint Base Charleston active-duty Airmen being trained this year,” said McMeekin.

“I’ve not had one person say ‘what a waste,’ after attending a class.

Usually the responses are ‘I could have used this training years ago,’ ‘why didn’t I get this as an Airman?’ or ‘my family needs this training.’”

Members who want to become an MRT must: • Be in the enlisted grades of E-5 through E-7, officer grades of O-1 through O-4 and Air Force civilian employees in the grades of GS-09 through GS-12 • Have no current record of disciplinary action or history of financial irresponsibility • Enlisted must have a rating of 4 or 5 on last five EPRs; officers must meet standards on last five OPRs; AF civilian employees must have current rating of “Acceptable” • Current PT score must be greater than or equal to 80 (if applicable) • If profile exists, AF Form 422 must be current • Military members must have more than or equal to 24 months retainability • The 10-day training course offered at the Expeditionary Center includes one week of resilience skills training followed by one week of teach-back training. The course also includes 20-25 hours of prerequisite, computer-based training in ADLS.

“I expected the course to be great, but it was super great,” said Housey, new JB Charleston MRT. “We can’t control the winds life throws at us, but we can control how we respond to them.”

Joint Base Charleston currently has 18 individuals from the 628th ABW and the 437th Airlift Wing trained as MRT instructors, according to McMeekin.

"It's all on our [MRT] instructors," said Chief Master Sgt. Earl Hannon, 628th Air Base Wing command chief. "It's important for our instructors to help others buy into the training. The training is not suicide prevention it's how to handle adversity."

Joint Base Charleston offers three open seating Resiliency Training classes a month, seating 25 students each. To register for a class visit the CoP: https://afkm.wpafb.af.mil/community/views/ home.aspx?Filter=OOED-AM-39.

Joint Base Charleston leadership stress the importance for their roles as Master Resiliency Trainers during a briefing with the new MRTs, Feb. 22, 2013, at JB Charleston – Air Base, S.C. The MRTs provided feedback to leadership on the Master Resilience Instructor Course at the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. MRT instructors serve as an integral element to provide trained and certified members as installation experts for Comprehensive Airman Fitness.

COMMENTARY

Commentary by Lt. Col. Joseph Meyer 816th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron commander

As the youngest military branch in the Department of Defense, the Air Force has moved very rapidly from a fledging flying force born from the Army, to a premier independent Air Force that can bring force or hope to bear in any corner of the globe. Our rapid development since 1947 has also meant that we accept change readily in order to remain relevant. While much change is for the better, we as Airmen can be left looking for a thread that links what we do on a daily basis to some greater purpose, something that sharpens our focus, ties us to our heritage, or provides the intangible drive required to achieve success against adversity.

That thread is an Airman's narrative. A narrative is an account or a story that relates events and experiences. Anyone can create a narrative, and in this connected age, anyone can have their narrative disseminated among a broad audience. Why we do what we do, or how we fit into the larger picture can either be clarified or confused through narrative. For this reason it is all the more important that Airmen understand the importance of their narrative.

How do we trace our narrative to the squadron level in a manner that provides a sense of mean-

ing to what we do? It begins by understanding that there is a thread that runs from national strategic objectives to squadron level tasks. For the purpose of this article, the discussion begins with the Joint Chiefs of Staff Strategic Direction to the Joint Force. There are four themes that shape the direction of each branch of the military.

Those are achieving national objectives in current conflicts, future development of the Joint Force, recommitting to the Profession of Arms, and keeping faith with the military family.

Nested within U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh's focus is that of the Air Force.

Welsh's vision provides a concise look at Air Force focal points. That focus is first and foremost our Airmen who accomplish the Air Force mission to fly, fight and win. Our Chief of Staff puts great emphasis on human capital and expects us to constantly look for smarter ways of doing business as we execute global reach, vigilance and power. Pulling the thread from the Air Force level to Air Mobility Command, the mission is to provide global mobility ... right effects, right place, right time. In doing that, focal areas for AMC are winning the fight as part of the joint force, enhancing mobility partnerships, developing and caring for Airmen and their families and strengthening nuclear mission support all while sustaining and preparing for tomorrow.

As the force generator and warfighting arm of AMC, 18th Air Force's focus is most simply captured in the vision, delivering the promise of global reach to America's warfighters. Bringing the mission closer to home; the 437th Airlift Wing's mission is to safely provide precise, reliable airlift ... worldwide. The vision is to be the nation's airlift wing of choice; leading through excellence and innovation. To take this thought to its logical conclusion the squadron mission and vision should be nested and focused as well.

The 14th Airlift Squadron is committed to making rapid global mobility a reality always striving for Excellence in Airmanship. Learn your squadron's mission, internalize it, and tie the thread back to our broader shared mission.

This is the Airman's narrative.

From the purposefully broad strategic direction of the Joint Chief of Staff of the Air Force to the narrow focus of the squadron, there are a few elements common to every organizational level.

Those elements are the Airmen and the mission.

This is the essence of our narrative: simply, Airmen getting the mission done. Everything else builds on that; from turning wrenches, to protecting the network, to operating a weapon system.

Be proud of who you are, look to the mission to find your sense of purpose and build on the Airman's narrative every day.

Self-Mastery - victory over ourselves

Commentary by Chief Master Sgt. Gigi Manning 315th Airlift Wing command chief

Aristotle once said, "The hardest victory is over self."

How many times have you procrastinated over an issue because you "just didn't feel like it," didn't complete career development in a timely manner, or maintain or attain fitness? I'm sure we've all done some of these things at some point in time. Now ask yourself, of those times in which you fell short, did you end up with a negative result for yourself or your customer, for example a supervisor, peer, spouse, child, or friend?

We all value our time, but do we always use it wisely? How often do we end up going down rabbit holes on the internet that have zero to do with a subject we're researching, or getting caught up in a conversation in the hallway or on the flightline when we could be finishing a project? These are examples of how we don't effectively use our time. We look around and the week or weekend is gone and we haven't

The highlight of the trip came when my crew went to the American Cemetery at Colleville-surMer, and Omaha Beach . While standing on this now peaceful spot, trying to imagine the chaos of that day in 1944, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was a gray haired man wearing a blue jacket that read: William Walsh, 2nd Ranger Battalion. He invited us across the street to a little café to join him and a group of D-Day Vets for lunch. We sat and talked for hours about that day in history and what they went through. No scripts, no rehearsals, no time constraints. Just service members separated by generations, but bonded together by a love for their country. It was quite an honor to be a part of that experience! It is one I will never forget and forever cherish.

So what did I take away from this experience?

In a nutshell, we must never take for granted the sacrifices made by those who filled the boots before us. It is their blood, sweat, and tears that guarantees the freedom we enjoy today. As Airmen in the United States Air Force, it is our duty to fight the good fight with integrity, service and excellence; and guarantee the same freedom for generations to come.

ing for forces that will soon deploy, and [notify] 186,000 of our civilians of a possible furlough."

"We've lost $600 million in February because of ... just lost opportunities," the Navy's top officer said. "Through the month of March, if we don't have that opportunity to reallocate funds, it would be another $1.2 billion, and it just continues to grow and cascade as we go through the summer."

Greenert told the panel an appropriations bill for this fiscal year is necessary to allow the department to distribute resources in a deliberate manner.

The Army chief said he started his career in a hollow Army, and he doesn't want to end it there.

"We simply cannot take the readiness of our force for granted," he said. "If we do not have the resources to train and equip the force, our soldiers – our young men and women – are the ones who will pay the price, potentially with their lives."

CSAF discusses impact of sequester America's military superiority is founded on training and readiness, and the fiscal crisis facing the country threatens to strip away that edge, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress Feb. 26.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh III, along with Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos and National Guard Bureau Chief Army Gen. Frank Grass, testified before the House Appropriations Committee's defense subcommittee on fiscal challenges facing the Department of Defense.

The chiefs discussed the effects of sequester – $47 billion in across-the-board 2013 defense spending cuts that will take effect March 1 if Congress doesn't act – and the continuing resolution, which guides government spending in the absence of an approved budget.

If sequestration occurs, "it will significantly undermine your Air Force's readiness and responsiveness today," Welsh said. "It will significantly impact our civilian workforce in the coming months. And its impact on modernization will clearly affect our future capability."

Welsh said two-thirds of Air Force combat units will curtail flying training starting in March.

"They'll drop below acceptable readiness levels, by our definitions, by mid-May," he added. "Most will be completely non-mission-capable as a unit

by July."

If a 2014 budget is in place by October, he said, it will take the Air Force six months to regain its present level of training.

The chiefs asked for Congress' help in giving them some spending flexibility if the continuing resolution remains. Authority to move funds between accounts could help prevent the current unavoidable waste Greenert decried in the Navy.

The shortfall created by the continuing resolution, he said, "has compelled us to cancel ship and aircraft maintenance, reduce operations, curtail train-

Lowcountry Federal Healthcare Alliance improves patient care

Story and photos by Petty Officer 1st Class Chad Hallford Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Lowcountry Federal Healthcare Alliance has been developing health care sharing opportunities and enhanced patient care for Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs beneficiaries throughout the greater Charleston area since 2006.

The collaborative efforts among the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center, the Naval Health Clinic Charleston at Joint Base Charleston – Weapons Station, the 628th Medical Group at JB Charleston – Air Base, and the Naval Hospital Beaufort, are expanding patient access to care and services, enhancing continuity and quality of care for active-duty service members, DOD and VA beneficiaries, while effectively managing health care resources of the LFHA. The bottom line for healthcare consumers: patients may be seen in clinics where VA and DOD staff work side-by-side to deliver care, and because of shared services, patients may be seen in clinics closer to home.

“I think that during the past seven years we have learned each organization has much to bring to the table,” said Ray Segers, Department of Veterans Affairs liaison.

“One of our biggest challenges is providing a seamless health care system that is transparent to our active-duty service members and our veterans,” said Segers. “We are able to do that through collaboration with our subject matter experts and by sharing our resources.”

With funding provided by the DOD and VA, LFHA provides improved technologies for medical diagnoses, including cardiology and radiology services, mobile Magnetic Resonance Imaging, hematology, urology and pharmacy services. Since funding does not allow purchases for additional medical equipment, sharing services becomes an even more important factor in improved patient care.

“For example, the joint-incentive funded MRIs at NHCC and Naval Hospital Beaufort would not be possible without the LFHA,” said Sharon Winkler, NHCC Director of Health Care Business. “And, through the picture archiving and communication system, VA patients can have the imaging procedure performed here [at NHCC] and have it electronically sent downtown to Ralph Johnson, entered into VA records and read

by VA radiologists.”

“Likewise, for our coastal-Georgia VA patients, the Beaufort MRI provides a convenient, time-saving and costeffective location to have these procedures done, minimizing the burden of driving excessive distances for many of our patients,” said Segers.

Prior to the alliance, outsourcing of many of these procedures to civilian facilities increased the cost of health care and resulted in delays in entering test results into medical records, delaying diagnosis and treatment.

“It’s a lifelong process to provide quality care for people,” said Navy Capt. Mary Kenney-Gutshall, NHCC commanding officer and LFHA director. “The partnership with our col-

Betts provides healthcare for both Department of Navy and Veterans Affairs patients under the Lowcountry Federal Healthcare Alliance.

leagues … is critical for Navy medicine and the Military Health System to sustain health care as we move forward … as our active-duty service members become veterans, it is truly a partnership.

“It’s a blended staff … our voluntary structure as a business has become the gold standard, the chartered alliance-joint venture is a unique, win-win scenario,” said Kenney-Gutshell.

For any questions regarding capabilities within the LFHA, contact your primary medical provider or 794-6000.

Navy - Marine Corps Relief Society fund drive kicks off

Courtesy of Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The annual Navy - Marine Corps Relief Society fund drive kicks off March 1, and is scheduled to run through March 31, 2013, at Joint Base Charleston with a goal of raising $250,000 this year.

NMCRS is a non-profit, charitable organization sponsored by the Department of the Navy and operates nearly 250 offices ashore and afloat at Navy and Marine Corps bases.

The NMCRS mission is to provide, in partnership with the Navy and Marine Corps, financial, educational and other assistance to members of the naval services of the United States and their family members and survivors when in need.

According to David Hastings, JB Charleston - Weapons Station NMCRS director, “Last year’s fund drive enabled the local NMCRS office to provide $325,519 in zero interest loans and grants to local service members eligible

and in need.”

"The NMCRS is a charity specifically geared for supporting Sailors and Marines in need," said Lt. j.g. Alex Handley, Naval Support Activity Charleston NMCRS Fund Drive coordinator. "Contributing to the NMCRS is an easy and effective way to be a genuine ‘Shipmate’ and help each other through stressful financial times.”

"There is a strong history of Sailors and Marines taking care of their own," said Hastings. "The NMCRS has played a vital role in keeping that tradition alive for more than 100 years and with the success we've had at JB Charleston, we'll be taking care of our own for many years to come."

Unit representatives are responsible for making 100 percent contact with all Sailors and Marines in regards to the NMCRS fund drive. Service members may make monthly allotments, or make a cash or check contribution, and, according to Hastings, something new this year is the ability to

donate directly through the NMCRS website at www.nmcrsfunddrive.org.

For more information, call the JB Charleston - Weapons Station NMCRS office at 764-7662, visit 1004 Jefferson Avenue, Building 717, on the Weapons Station; or visit the NMCRS website at www.nmcrs.org

Hagel takes office as 24th Secretary of Defense

By Cheryl Pellerin American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – Just before his private swearing-in ceremony as the 24th secretary of defense, Chuck Hagel and his wife, Lilibet, arrived at the Pentagon Feb. 27, 2013, and were greeted by Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, military assistant to the secretary of defense.

Hagel said hello to waiting members of the Pentagon press corps as he hurried up the steps of the Pentagon's river entrance. From there, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little and other defense officials accompanied him into the building.

Family members and his immediate office staff attended the ceremony, during which Hagel was sworn in by Director of Administration and Management Michael Rhodes.

Hagel then hosted the daily senior staff update meeting attended by DOD civilian and military leaders.

In a statement released after Hagel's Senate confirmation, Feb. 26, 2013, Little said the new secretary received congratulatory phone calls from his predecessor, Leon Panetta, congressional leaders, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.

In his conversation with Secretary Shinseki, Little added, Hagel "indicated his desire to meet as soon as possible to continue and deepen the strong partnership between the

General Paul Selva, Air Mobility Command commander, arrived at Joint Base Charleston, Feb. 13, 2013, for a threeday visit, kicking-off a series of extended tours of AMC units and installations.

Accompanying Selva was his wife, Ricki, and Chief Master Sgt. Richard Kaiser, AMC command chief.

The visit included an opportunity for the general to witness JB Charleston's Total Force program in action. He met with active duty and Reserve Airmen, as well as service members from every branch of the armed forces, who work together at various units throughout the Air Base and Weapons Station.

"The intent of my visit, along with my wife and Chief Kaiser, was to take a good hard look at how we're taking care of the Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers and Marines right here at Charleston," said Selva. "I'm just getting my feet on the ground as the AMC commander. JB Charleston is the first of a series of longer installation visits to meet some of the most talented men and women of the Air Force ."

Selva assumed command of AMC in Nov. 2012, and has had the opportunity to briefly visit AMC bases introducing himself and his expectations and priorities. His top priority as commander is ensuring Airmen are resourced, equipped and trained to do the mission.

According to Selva, he was most impressed with the teamwork at JB Charleston ... not just the teamwork within leadership ... but also the younger service members pulling together to make the joint base concept successful.

"It's not about one service branch in joint basing," said Selva. "It's about multiple branches working together for one mission, and JB Charleston has really impressed me with how well they work together and accomplish their mission on a daily basis. It is evident that it's the hard working service members, both active duty and Reserve, that make JB Charleston successful."

One reason for that success is that commanders are training, leading and respecting Airmen so they can get the mission done. Since assuming command of AMC, Selva has conNavy CAPT Tom Bailey, Joint Base Charleston deputy commander, discusses ammo loading operations with Gen.

He met with active duty and Reserve Airmen on the flight line, as well as service members from every branch of the armed forces at various units throughout the Air Base and Weapons Station.

Selva and Chief Master Sgt. Richard Kaiser, AMC command chief, were the guest speakers for the ceremony.

sistently communicated the importance of a professional work environment that respects all Airmen and focuses on mission readiness.

"Chief Kaiser and I, as a leadership team at AMC, are interested in innovation and imagination of our youngest Airmen," said Selva. "They are all part of the team and every one of them is important to make the Air Force a better place."

AMC's mission is to provide rapid, global mobility and

SHALL WE DANCE? - Servicemen and their daughters hit the dance floor during "A Night in the Spotlight," the San Diego Armed Services YMCA Father and Daughter Dance in San Diego, Feb. 16, 2013. More than 450 military fathers attended the 7th annual event.

You receive it on Graduation Day. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never handed to you. Because when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a degree from Columbia College, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a degree that demands effort and rewards hard work. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a notion our students at 18 campuses on military bases truly understand.

ÂŽ Offering Associate, Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degrees.
