Navy’s top producing dermatologist calls NHCC home U.S. Air Force photo / Senior Airman Jared Trimarchi

Navy Capt. George Butler looks at slides on his microscope in his office March 12, 2015 at the Naval Health Clinic Charleston, S.C. Since Fiscal Year 2012, Butler has been the Navy's top producing dermatologist. Butler is the staff dermatologist at NHCC.

The Naval Health Clinic Charleston's dermatology clinic is home to the Navy's top producing dermatologist.

It's almost destiny that Capt. George Butler, NHCC's staff dermatologist was commissioned as an officer in the Navy and became a doctor. He has two brothers who are retired Navy officers and three sisters who are nurses.

Additionally, his son is a freshman at the U.S. Naval Academy. To say service and medicine is the family business would be an understatement.

At any given time, the Navy has between 30 to 35 dermatologists world-wide. Both military and civilian medical practitioners use a metric grading system called the relative value unit.

According to Joseph Miller, NHCC data quality manager, "Relative Value Units are the data points that the Military Health System has decided to use in evaluating provider productivity. It originates with the Medical Group Management Association, a civilian organization that monitors practice patterns and production in the civilian community.

At the end of the fiscal year, the Navy calculates all of the dermatologists’ RVUs and then ranks them from highest to lowest. Since 2012, Butler has been ranked number one.

"Capt. Butler has been the number one RVU producing dermatologist in the U.S. Navy every year since FY 2012," Miller said.

However, for Butler it's about helping the people he treats on a daily basis, not about being the Navy's top dermatologist and having the most RVU's.

"We get people in with very common things, disfiguring conditions; acne scaring, etc. As mundane as acne is, some people don't realize how gratifying it can be to improve selfesteem by improving the way they appear, not to mention

their overall health," he said. "Then of course, on the other side of that, there are those with very dangerous diseases like melanoma. They come in for a routine screening and find an early melanoma that can save their lives. They are very grateful for that."

Butler routinely participates in Grand Rounds at the Medical University of South Carolina in downtown Charleston.

"For those more difficult [cases] we'll arrange for those patients from the Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard to be presented , [here] they have a number of dermatologists looking at the patients, giving opinions and discussing how to proceed with the work up on treating patients," said Butler.

On any given day, Butler will see between 15 to 25 patients, depending upon the severity of each case.

"If you are removing a large melanoma, it could take two hours or, if you are taking care of someone's acne, that could take 15 minutes."

Butler also has to factor in the time for other procedures such as freezing warts, surgical removal of skin cancers and laser procedures for both cosmetic and medical conditions.

At NHCC he is authorized to do other cosmetic procedures.

"The Department of Defense allows military dermatologists, plastic surgeons and Ear Nose and Throat specialists to maintain proficiency with some of the skills they ask us to maintain in the civilian community," he said. "So that would be like Botox, which is the most common, some cosmetic laser treatments to improve people's appearance as well as acne scars."

According to Butler, the success of the dermatology department at NHCC is a direct result of the clinic's leadership.

"One notable thing, in terms of being productive, the command is very supportive of how they can make us more productive and what they can do to make things run more smoothly," he said. "That gives you enough people so that

while you finish with one person, someone else is getting another [patient] prepped. If I'm performing multiple surgeries, I can bounce over to another technician who is preparing [a patient] for surgery."

Butler has served in the Navy for nearly 27 years but he hasn't always been a doctor.

Upon graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1984, he completed nuclear power training and became a line officer aboard submarines. Butler began his medical training in 2002 and has spent 10 of his last 13 years as a dermatologist here in Charleston.

Butler attended the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences medical school, which is a federal medical school located in Bethesda, Md. "I didn't find out till later in the process when I was applying for medical schools but half of the people that go to USUHS medical school have prior military service," said Butler.

It wasn't until a rotation in dermatology during medical school that he found his calling.

"I found that I like the combination of clinical medicine, minor surgery and laser treatments," Butler said.

"Additionally, dermatology allowed me to see a wide range of patients from pediatrics to senior citizens, which I enjoyed."

When 2015 comes to a close, so will Butler's Navy career. Even though he plans to retire, he still finds what he does challenging and humbling.

"Medicine is challenge, I like that," he said. "I like continuing to serve. I've been in the military a long time; it's a patriotic thing, taking care of people who have sacrificed a lot.

It's humbling because [dermatology] can be very difficult. There are a lot of instances where you have to pull books out and try to diagnose a condition that you may have never seen before. [This job is] very one-to-one and you have to be able to relate to senior officers as well as a dependent wife who is 19 years old."

INSIDE

A member of the 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., was recently awarded Air Mobility Command's General Lew Allen Jr., Trophy.

Captain Robert Cross, 437 AMXS Gold AMU officer in charge received the trophy that recognizes the most outstanding base-level officer directly involved in aircraft sortie generation. The award criteria is based on sustained job performance, job knowledge, job efficiency and results.

Cross managed more than 700 Airmen and civilians across seven different Air Force Specialty Codes and drove maintenance support for 1,600 C-17 Globemaster III launches from JB Charleston. He was key to the wing's 94 percent Logistics Departure Reliability Rate and integral to the Wing earning the 2013 Meritorious Unit Award.

Cross was also the maintenance group's point-man for the 2014 Large Formation Exercise. He led the generation of 18 C-17s and executed a flawless launch of a C-17 nine-ship that facilitated 652 wing training events.

In an effort to enhance the total force integration mobility network, Cross led the transfer of two C-17s from JB Charleston to the Memphis Air National Guard in Memphis, Tenn., and oversaw the aircraft preparation and repair actions.

While deployed to Al Udeid Air Base, he managed 4,000 maintenance actions on more than 50 deployed C-17s. This led to AUAB having a 91.1 percent Mission Capable Rate, which was more than 3.1 percent higher than the AMC standard.

Cross also led 23 Maintenance Recovery Team efforts. He forward deployed 25 technicians and 125 equipment items to six forward operating locations; ensuring that 10 key C-17's were returned to the fleet in a timely manner.

During another deployment he volunteered at the NATO

Role-3 Hospital located at Khandahar Air Field. While there, he provided care and comfort to injured warfighters; the hospital has a 98 percent wounded warrior survival rate.

Lastly, Cross is active within the local community where he volunteers as a chaplain assistant, as a firefighter and first responder.

"Winning this award is a reflection of his outstanding maintenance leadership accomplishments while deployed and here at home station," said Lt. Col. Adam DiGerolamo, 437th AMXS commander. "Given the number of talented maintenance officers throughout AMC, for Capt. Cross to have been recognized at that level is truly an honor for him and validation of how well the squadron maintenance effort runs day-to-day under his leadership. We are very proud to have Capt. Cross as part of the squadron's leadership team and are confident that he will continue to perform at high levels for years to come."

Opening Day: Baseball and building military heritage

By Col. Scott Sauter 315th Airlift Wing vice commander

"This field, this game: it's a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."

- Field of Dreams (1989)

As Major League Baseball's opening day approaches, I can't help but reflect on the sights and sounds that trumpet the rich heritage and traditions associated with our national pastime. The images of a freshly cut infield, perfectly lined base paths and a yet-to-be obscured batter's box evoke excitement and anticipation as players prepare to take the field and fans await the game's first pitch. Of course, the baseball experience is never complete without the associated cultural icons that adorn each ballpark: homages to home-town heroes and Hall-of-Famers; time-honored rituals that include inspiring renditions of our National Anthem; the crowd singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the Seventh-Inning Stretch; grazing on hot dogs, kettle corn and peanuts while trying to keep score in an official game program and, of course, the multiple attempts to scramble for foul balls hit into the seats.

Growing up, this game made an impression on me and, indeed, marked the time with chapters comprised of 162-game seasons and their respective AllStar and World Series games; each punctuated by

Religious freedom and accommodation in today’s military

By Capt. Christopher Love Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Religious freedom and accommodation – few subjects raise greater questions than these for our diverse society. And although we in the military wear a common uniform and adopt the same core values, we feel the weight of these questions just as strongly as our civilian counterparts.

Can I show signs of my faith in the workplace? What can I say, and to whom, and when. Where is the line separating policy from mere political correctness?

These questions are hard enough, but for the military leader they become even harder.

How do I exercise my freedoms of expression without violating the freedoms of those I lead? How accommodating can I be toward my subordinates' beliefs without compromising the mission, or good order and discipline, or both?

If you're like me, you struggle with these questions. How grateful I was, therefore, to learn that I need not navigate this subject alone.

On March 18, 2015, I attended the first of what may become an annual course for Joint Base Charleston leaders on religious freedom and accommodation. Hosted by the base Chapel, Judge Advocate and Equal Opportunity offices, the course offered guidance for commanders, senior enlisted members, civilians and others, like myself, looking for trusted counsel amid the storm of controversy on this topic.

Our hosts presented us with a 13-question quiz on various issues having to do with religious accommodation. The quiz assessed our knowledge of whether service members can have religious items in their workplace, for instance, the proper use of mass emails, or which Air Force Instructions offer guidance on these topics.

They then walked us through the true-or-false assessment, question by

question, gauging leaders' thoughts and presenting realistic scenarios, before offering the correct answer. What emerged was a highly interactive and challenging 90 minutes that began to clear the waters on an otherwise murky subject.

Reflecting afterwards on the course, I emerged with the following insights.

First, as a leader, there is a tension between my right to live out my religious convictions in the workplace, on the one hand and the equal rights of my subordinates, on the other. This does NOT mean that I must "lock up" what I believe for 10 hours a day – can any of us really do that? – but it does mean that I must be mindful of the rights of others, especially those I lead, who may feel obligated to listen to what I say.

Second, I must analyze each situation carefully, resisting "blanket" solutions. Does that piece of religious insignia in the workplace really suggest government endorsement? It might, depending on the size, manner and location of its placement; but then again, it might not. Does the discomfort of certain coworkers toward such a symbol offer sufficient grounds for that symbol's removal? We need discernment in these cases.

Third, along with discernment, we need fairness. As one of our hosts said, can I really tell one service member that he cannot listen to his music aloud while permitting his coworker to play gangster rap? Why not establish an office policy requiring the use of headphones? This is just one of many examples.

Fourth, and most importantly, I am not alone. As an Airman, I have the resources of documents like AFI 1-1 to guide me. Additionally, I have people – chaplains, lawyers, Equal Opportunity members – to help lead me through the myriad of particular cases.

I left my recent course feeling both encouraged and grateful for the resources around me. I hope this course does indeed return next year and that it spreads beyond Joint Base Charleston, to the benefit of all.

March marks Brain Injury Awareness Month

By Karen S. Guice, M.D., M.P.P. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs

WASHINGTON – Often called one of the "invisible wounds of war," traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the result of a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts the normal function of the brain.

Anyone can suffer a TBI, it can happen on the sports field, in your home, or on the job.

During March, the Military Health System (MHS) is focusing its talent and efforts on the issue of TBI. We will provide tools and resources to educate service members, their families, retirees and Defense Department civilians about the prevention and treatment of TBI, while highlighting ongoing MHS research and breakthroughs.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year 1.7 million people are

diagnosed with a brain injury. The most common form of TBI, even for the military, is mild TBI (also referred to as a concussion) and the vast majority occur at home. The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center reported that from 2000-2014 more than 313,000 service members were diagnosed with TBI, and most of these were mild.

MHS research has produced several breakthroughs that improve the lives of our patients, beneficiaries, and all Americans who sustain TBIs. Our work is even taking us back to college to examine the impact of TBIs on athletes. The NCAA and the DOD are currently sponsoring the "Mind Matters Challenge," a landmark initiative to enhance the safety of student-athletes and service members. The partnership is the most comprehensive study of concussion and head impact exposure ever conducted.

For TBI patients, TRICARE covers rehabilita-

Cybercrime: How it affects you

By Special Agent Monte Stephens Air Force Office of Special Investigations Detachment 221

MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho – Cybercrime is the fastest growing and most dynamic area of crime. Ever-increasing reliance on cyber technology is allowing criminals to operate with virtual impunity across a range of criminal activities and jurisdictions.

Although the types of crimes are not necessarily new (theft, fraud, extortion, drug proliferation and sex-based exploitation), the technology provides criminals an unprecedented range of targets, increased operational capabilities and a reduced risk of capture and prosecution.

In 2013, cybercriminals defrauded the U.S. public to the tune of more than $780 million through a variety of online scams ranging in a level of complexity from simple fraud schemes to complex hacking scams, according to the 2013 Internet Crime Report, FBI. In the past few years, there have been numerous online scams where criminals have either directly targeted military personnel or used actual and fictitious information about U.S. military members to defraud the public. These

scams range in forms and all are designed to extort information or money from innocent victims by exploiting the public's trust in the U.S. military.

Online scammers use U.S. military members' information, whether real or fake, for three reasons: 1 – credibility; 2 – plausibility; and 3 – emotional appeal. Appearing attractive to a victim's emotional response the criminal generates trust and loyalty in order to increase credibility once the scam is suggested. The military ties also give criminals a credible reason to solicit money from victims that would normally make such a request seem suspicious. Two of the most common online scenarios are sale scams and the Nigerian Letter scams.

Online sale scams: The scam begins by offering online goods well below their market price, most frequently carried out on an online sale site. Most of such scams involve vehicle sales and generally take the following pattern: a scammer advertises a vehicle for sale at a price almost too good to be true and describes the vehicle in broad terms. The potential victim answers the ad and is soon contacted by the scammer, claiming to be a member with a U.S. military unit that's being deployed abroad.

The scammer uses this "deployment" to explain the devalued sales price of the vehicle and they will be

tive services provided by physicians, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. The DOD offers a variety of products such as clinical recommendations, tool kits, and mobile applications to assist health care providers in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of patients with mild TBI. One of the most important steps in TBI treatment is rest, which allows the brain to physically and mentally recover, and removes the risk of suffering another concussion while the brain is healing. Early diagnosis of TBI, as well as evaluation, and treatment can shorten return-to-duty time and lead to the best possible outcome for those entrusted to our care.

Along with our partnerships and cutting-edge research, MHS is making great progress in improving and prolonging the quality of life for those living with TBI.

unable to test drive it. Often, the scammer insists the transaction take place quickly and requests the potential victim wire the money or transfer funds via the purchase of a money card and then providing the code to the scammer.

Advance-fee online fraud scam or Nigerian Letter scams: Seeks to defraud potential victims by promising big profits in exchange for help moving large sums of money. Claiming to be a government official, business person or the surviving spouse of a former government leader, the criminals offer to transfer millions of dollars into victim's bank account in exchange for a small fee. The scammer really wants the victim's bank account information in order to transfer money out of their account.

Air Force personnel appear to be at risk to online impersonation because of the perceived reputability and integrity of service members by the general public. Criminals looking to impersonate service members can find an abundance of personal information from official websites, news articles and social networking sites. Air Force members should be aware their personal information can be exploited by online imposters and must remain vigilant to protect and minimize their Internet footprint.

Avoid online dangers, unfriendly users on social media

From Air Force News Service

WASHINGTON – The internet instantaneously allows you to reach out across the internet superhighway to share information or connect with loved ones. Despite how innocuous this may seem, without taking the proper precautions, your personal information can inadvertently fall into the wrong hands.

“You have to assume that everyone is looking at it,” said Col. Mary Hanson, the senior information security officer of the Air Force Office of Information Dominance and chief information officer. “Think: would my mom be proud if I put this out there?”

It’s not just families looking at what Airmen are posting on social media sites; it’s also employers and, more importantly, unfriendly sources, Hanson explained.

“Social media is a convenient tool but also a dangerous one,” said Phil Withers, the Air Force Special Operations Command’s deputy chief of information and cyberspace operations. “I think of using the Internet like I think of driving a car; it’s a great tool but users need to be cautious.”

According to Air Force Instruction 1-1, “Air Force Standards,” even having unknown followers could constitute relationships that may affect determinations in background investigations associated with security clearances.

Security clearances are not the only things Airmen and their families need to be aware of in the cyber realm. It is estimated that about eight new users access the Internet every minute as technology spreads to developing countries. On average, there are 1 million victims of cyber-crime across the globe every day, and most of them are new Internet users who could have avoided the attack if they were more educated on cyber security.

"The goal of cyber security … is to take steps to make sure you are not one of those victims in your professional network life and your home network life," said 2nd Lt. Kristoff Kalau, the 18th Communications Squadron officer in charge of cyberspace support systems.

There are steps Airmen and their families can take to help protect themselves against unwanted access to their personal

SAPR Corner History of SAPR Teal Ribbon

By Ms. Shelia Bacon 628th Air Base Wing SAVA

What is the meaning behind the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response ribbon?

The majority of advocacy groups have embraced ribbons as symbols of support or awareness.

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program is represented by a teal ribbon. Originally, the ribbon was initiated by state, territory, and tribal sexual violence coalitions then polled in 2000 by the Resource

Sharing Project and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center to determine that the color teal was the preferred color for Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention.

Teal, the color of SAPR awareness, is an integral part of the community, helping all those who are affected by this crime and by those who will no longer tolerate sexual violence silently, but boldly show their overarching support. I always say, “The awareness ribbon is only as good as the person wearing it and their willingness to educate others.”

New 3D-simulator generates training, expertise on subs

By David Smalley Office of Naval Research Public Affairs

been largely confined to the classroom.

"The beauty of the system is that it should reduce the amount of lab time, while increasing the scenarios the instructor can put the students through," said Darrell Conley, project manager for Virginia diesel program at Naval Air Warfare Training Systems Division. "The software can be loaded on any MRTS 3D trainer in the fleet, allowing any boat to schedule required training."

The simulator is part of ONR's answer to Chief of Naval Operation Adm. Jonathan Greenert's Navigation Plan 2015-2019. The plan calls for greater focus on critical afloat and ashore readiness, including "development and fielding of live, virtual and constructive training environments to provide more realistic training at a reduced cost."

The TechSolutions program takes technology requests directly from Sailors and Marines.

When the organization receives a request for a technology solution to a problem, anything from Sailors on watch needing improvements in steel toe boots, to Marines in theater requesting better mortar sights, the program attempts to find and deliver a rapid technology prototype solution.

"The work being done by TechSolutions makes an enormous difference to our Sailors and Marines," said ONR Executive Director Dr. Walter Jones. "Innovative technologies, directly requested by our men and women in uniform, are able to reach the user in accelerated timeframes, making contributions from daily life to tactical functionality of platforms in the field."

The Sailors will work with the generator simulator at Pearl Harbor over the next several months, and it will ultimately be considered for transition to Naval Sea Systems Command's Undersea Warfare Directorate.

For Sailors and Marines interested in submitting a technology request: Visit http://www.onr.navy.mil/ science-technology/directorates/transition/tech-solutions-innovation.aspx

ARLINGTON, Va. – A new diesel generator simulator has been delivered to Pearl Harbor naval facilities by the TechSolutions program at the Office of Naval Research.

High-fidelity 3D software will allow Sailors to use 50-inch touch screens to see and access all parts of the massive generators aboard Virginia-class subs.

The Navy's Virginia-class submarines are among the most technically advanced vessels ever built. But even these cutting-edge, fastattack, nuclear-powered boats need emergency generators on hand and Sailors trained to operate and repair them.

"This will be a big help for the fleet, getting Sailors more training time and providing potentially significant cost savings," said ONR Command Master Chief Jessie Thomas. "It has been challenging for all the Sailors who need training on these generators to get enough work time on the actual boats-particularly given that the subs can be out to sea for extended periods.

"A state of the art simulator allows far more time to learn how these complex machines work."

As Sailors are being trained on the simulator, they are able to touch different parts of the screen to view and access all parts of the complex generators, even moving virtual controls and twisting virtual knobs to make adjustments based on digital data or sight inspection.

The advanced 3D program-called the Multipurpose Reconfigurable Training System (MRTS)-will provide estimated cost avoidances of $27 million over building more generators for training, freeing up funds for significant expansion of training capabilities. The improvements include expansion of the Machinery Room where the simulators will be placed, allowing greater immersion and multiple-mission scenarios that until now had

Chapel Corner How Can I Survive my Spouse’s Affair?

By Chaplain, Major Kyle A. Hundley Joint Base Charleston deputy chaplain

A spouse's unfaithfulness is the most painful experience that can be inflicted in marriage.

Those who have experienced other types of trauma in addition to infidelity have consistently reported that their spouse's unfaithfulness was their very worst experience. To be convinced of the devastating impact of infidelity, you only need to go through it once.

More than 50 percent of all spouses are victims of infidelity, which means that one spouse in most marriages, will suffer the greatest marital pain possible at some time

during their lifetime. It's no wonder there are so many requests for counseling from these victims. The emotional and spiritual pain can be overwhelming.

Whether you are the one who was cheated on or the one who pursued the affair, be brave enough to seek help. There are many resources available to you and your spouse. If you would like assistance, please contact one of our many Joint Base Helping Agencies to start working through this painful experience.

You can reach the Joint Base Charleston Chapel at 963-2536.

Air Force COOL program kicks off

By Senior Airman William J. Blankenship 42nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. – The Community College of the Air Force officially launched the Air Force Credentialing Opportunities On-Line program March 16.

Air Force COOL is a pathway for enlisted Airmen to earn industry recognized professional certifications and licenses to enhance their active-duty work and to prepare them as they transition to the civilian job market after they leave the service.

CCAF manages the program, which is similar to the Army and Navy's programs.

Found on the Air Force Portal, Air Force COOL has a credential mapping of 642 professional certifications and licenses for 190 enlisted Air Force specialty codes. The credentials are at the national and state levels and from industry.

Airmen should prepare themselves at least six years before retiring and as soon as possible after they decide to separate, said J. R. Breeding, the associate dean for academic programs at CCAF. "You can have all of your time-in-service experience and have earned a master's degree, but if you don't have that certification, you probably aren't going to get an interview," Breeding said.

"It is that whole-person concept that needs to be factored in for the force development of our Airmen. Attending the Transition Assistance Program is not the time to get ready to retire or separate. It is too late at that point, given the length of time it takes to complete these certifications."

Using Air Force COOL to get a job-related certification or license makes an Airman just as, if not more, competitive in the job market as their civilian peers, said Russell Gray, the program manager of Air Force COOL .

"This program is designed to allow Airmen to take what they've learned in the military and place it up against what their counterparts are learning in the civilian sector. It can fill that gap," Gray said. "The job you apply for may not be exactly the same as the one you did in uniform, but there are things you learned doing that job that can translate into tools that can be used once you hang up the uniform."

Complete Air Force COOL program details, application procedures, eligibility requirements and AFSC listings are located on the Air Force Portal or by visiting https://afvec.langley.af.mil/afvec/Public/COOL/Default.aspx.
