Keep calm and carry on COMMENTARY

Commentary by Col. Darren Hartford 437th Airlift Wing commander

Historical perspective is a useful tool, particularly when facing "new" challenges. Often, the past helps put the present into context and serves as a guiding framework for success. I often reflect on the great many challenges we overcame in the past year, and I notice the attitude of our team is not unlike the attitudes of those who triumphed before us. To truly benefit from the lessons of history, it is important to not only recall events, but also to understand them in the context of culture and attitudes. With that in mind, I would like to share with you a historical example I feel embodies the culture and attitude of the professionals at JB Charleston.

In 1939, Britain formally declared war on Hitler's Nazi Germany. Given their close proximity, an attack on the British populace was probable.

At the direction of the British government, the Ministry of Information created morale posters to bolster the resolve of their citizens during uncertain and potentially devastating times. In all, three posters were created. The first two were prominently displayed in public transportation centers, shop windows, and bulletin boards across Great Britain. The third poster was reserved in the event Germany invaded England. Should an invasion ever come, a defiant Britain would display bright red posters with bold white lettering that simply read "Keep Calm and Carry On." Fortunately, the invasion never came, but the spirit of that statement reflects a profound attitude.

This is also the spirit with which our team pre-

vailed over the past year. Adversity was met with the resolution on the part of our Airmen, to perform the mission. You embodied, in my mind, the mantra "Keep Calm and Carry On." Need an example? A year ago we found ourselves in the midst of sequestration and civilian furloughs. The strain on our resources caused several shortfalls to emerge.

Despite these shortfalls, 437th Airlift Wing and 315th AW crews, with the unrivaled support from the 628th Air Base Wing, flew 47,150 flying hours, delivered 136,783 tons of cargo and 79,010 passengers all over the world in FY13.

Downrange, our deployed Expeditionary Airlift Squadron airlifted 113,400 tons of cargo, 23,800 passengers and dropped 3,600 airdrop bundles of supplies to forward operating bases, having a direct and critical impact on Operation Enduring Freedom. Our Aerial Port moved 16,578 tons of cargo and 16,153 passengers to support 5,856 missions.

The Traffic Management Office gave 9,416 Household Goods briefings to ensure the smooth PCS flow. The Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory performed maintenance/certification actions on 4,558 pieces of equipment to keep the mission flowing. The superb performance of the Maintenance Group in general enabled a Logistics Departure Reliability rate of 94.5% home station, and 91.3% worldwide! The successful accomplishment of these missions is paramount, which is the reason they were priorities during sequestration. A major testament of excellence is that our team succeeded in light of significant cuts to our flying training hours. This was accomplished by

innovative solutions on the part of our Airmen and through partnerships with our sister wings.

These statistics are easy to underappreciate; excellence has become Col. Darren Hartford so habitual to us it seems 437th Airlift Wing commander ordinary. Let's not forget that embedded in those statistics are the real stories of our Airmen saving lives on aeromedical evacuation missions, delivering critical warfighter supplies to the front lines and enabling our president to perform his duties as the head of state. I see professionals across the installation, not just doing their jobs, but excelling at them. I see a team, that when confronted with difficulty, they respond with performance. Your performance on this week's cargo and aircraft generation exercise and the Major Accident Response Exercise all confirmed my observations.

We have uncertainties ahead of us with things like Force Management programs and potentially more budgetary challenges. These are issues that are going to be challenges for our Air Force. That said, I sleep easy at night, because your attitude and resolution convinces me our team is strong.

Your performance over the past year has given me that confidence. I have no doubt you will continue to perform the mission day in and day out, to take care of each other and our families, and "Keep Calm and Carry On." Thank you for making the mission happen every day. You are all critical to our success, and I'm incredibly proud of you.

The shadow of a leader Commentary by Master Sgt. Christina Warner 628th Contracting Squadron

James Baldwin, an American author noted for his works on personal identity, states, "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them." No matter how great the message, the message can be drowned out by conflicting actions. As a leader, what message do you send? What shadow do you cast?

The role of a leader at work requires modeling the desired behavior and letting others see the desired values in action. Talk is cheap. To be effective leaders, we must become aware of the messages and signals we send. Action is proof in the pudding! I challenge you to reflect for a moment on your shadow, the nonverbal cues and the message your wingmen send.

Do your actions reflect your words? In many cases, leaders are unaware of the shadow they cast. You should get feedback from your coworkers and see if the shadow you think you cast is actually the shadow everyone sees.

Good leaders know how important it is to have consistency between your words and actions. Airmen are smart. They will quickly notice the discrepancy between the two. When that happens, your credibility is jeopardized.

Don't lose credibility! Work on strengthening your shadow. Though not an easy task to accomplish, it requires three processes: - A willingness to look closely at your behaviors - Understanding your impact on others - Openness to change yourself in order to change the people around you

Are you up for the challenge?

Once you have strengthened your shadow, use the shadow concept as a motivator. One of the primary motivators that cause people to mimic others is the desire to have the respect and approval of people who we feel are important to us. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Airmen will work extra hard for leaders they respect. Cast a respectable shadow worth imitating.

If you took a poll and asked what the first important influence in a person's life was or where it came from, most will identify their parents.

Imitating our parents is where we first learned the shadow concept. Many parents and leaders will say, "Do as I say, not as I do." This statement doesn't work for your children nor will it work for your Airmen. Make an investment in your Airmen by setting the example. It is easy to fill out a feedback form and tell a subordinate what is expected of them. The real task is showing your Airmen the value in meeting those standards by projecting those standards yourself.

As leaders, we owe it to our Airmen to "walk the walk, not just talk the talk." With quality force review boards, enlisted review boards, new feedback and EPR forms on the horizon, it is our duty to cast a shadow, a positive shadow, and to guide our Airmen to a successful career path. The attitude of a leader, coupled with actions to motivate an organization, can encourage and empower people to accomplish great things. Know your role and your shadow. As Gandhi most eloquently said, "We must be the change we want to see."

Don’t turn away - think about it

Commentary by Eric Sesit Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Consensual sex.

Sexual assault.

They are not the same thing.

Sexual assault is a brutal crime against another person's most prized possession: their self-esteem.

All of us in, or associated with the military, know sexual assault is a problem. According to the Department of the Defense, there were 3,374 cases of sexual assault reported in 2012. Those were just the cases that were reported. Think about it: every month, 300 of your wingmen and shipmates and fellow Marines and Coastguardsmen were sexually assaulted in 2012. And that is just the number of people who actually reported the crime. How many untold cases are out there? How many young men and women don't come forward either because they are afraid of repercussions from their chain of command, or just because they are too embarrassed to come forward?

April marks the beginning of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but this is not just another theme month. As we were making preparations for publicizing all of the events for SAAM, I had plenty of opportunities to speak with Tiffany Mizzell, Ruby Godley, Florine King and Sheila Bacon. Tiffany and Florine are Sexual Assault Program Managers, Weapons Station and Air Base respectively, and Ruby and Sheila are Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Civilian Victim Advocates at the Weapons Station and the Air Base respectively. These women have devoted their lives and their careers to helping survivors of sexual assault. They train, they advocate and they care.

During one of my discussions with Tiffany, we were speculating on what it would take to put an end to sexual assault. How do you make people understand sexual assault is such an insidious crime, that it can destroy the victim's life for years? The memories can be suppressed and later manifest themselves through symptoms 10, 20 or even 30 years later in the victim's

life; symptoms like, depression, anger, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and even suicidal thoughts and finally suicide.

Tiffany and I didn't solve the world's problems that day, but it got me to thinking ... what in the world can one month do?

And then it finally came to me. We concentrate our time and efforts into this month, so when May and June, and September and January come along, maybe, just maybe, the information we provide THIS month, will strike a nerve. If we can save just one Sailor who had too much to drink and was in danger of being raped, but instead was escorted home safely by his or her shipmates, we made a difference. If just one Airman will remember that NO means NO and respects the wishes of their date and stops making unwanted advances, we made a difference.

There are going to be numerous SAAM events happening around Joint Base Charleston in April. Some are designed to build awareness through sporting events. We'll also have speakers and performances focusing on sexual assault throughout the month.

Other events and displays are much more somber, such as the T-shirts you might see hanging at various locations around the base. These shirts are part of the Clothesline Project. It's called Survivor's Art Therapy. Survivors of sexual assault write their feelings and thoughts on T-shirts, and you will be able to see many of them for yourself. Unfortunately, Tiffany, Florine, Ruby and Sheila have far too many of these shirts ... way too many.

Here is what I read on one of the shirts: "I trusted you, you betrayed me It destroyed me God gave me wings and I'm no longer your victim I'm a survivor" So this month, when you see a SAAM display at your command, or if you have an opportunity to attend one of the special performances scheduled, or the chance to listen to a guest speaker tell his or her story, stop and take a few minutes to read the literature or listen to that speaker. I guarantee you will learn something.

Taking off the training wheels, experiencing the Warrior Ride COMMENTARY

Commentary by 2nd Lt. Alexandra Trobe Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

It’s early Friday morning, and bitter cold, the kind of unwelcoming cold seldom felt in the morning air in the usually warm LowCountry.

A frigid breeze seeps into my mouth and chills my blood from the inside out. I would’ve stayed inside my car all day, avoiding this unpleasant air if only I could. I sat in my car with the heat turned up, listening to the faint sounds of a Top 40 radio station, but I have work to do.

The Warrior Ride is in town today. It is an incredible non-profit organization that gives wounded warriors and veterans the opportunity for rehabilitation through adaptive bicycling.

This morning there are more than 45 Warrior Ride participants scheduled to ride starting at the Citadel in downtown Charleston, through Charleston Air Force Base, and ending at North Charleston.

It’s quiet outside. I sit silently in the parking lot of Hampton Park just outside of the Citadel in downtown Charleston, watching the ducks swim in circles in a pond surrounded by tall trees, sweeping low with Spanish moss. They’re looking for their breakfast and I’m looking for signs that I’m in the right place.

As expected, 14 North Charleston Police cars come blazing into the parking lot. Their twirling blue lights, somber and eerie reflecting on the water, makes it unmistakable something is about to happen here. Early morning runners seemed alarmed, but these police officers were there to volunteer their time to support our combat veterans, not respond to a hostile crime scene before the break of dawn.

As a former NCAA athlete I’ve been a competitive swimmer long before I could walk.

Seriously, my mom says she knew I was destined for greatness from the first “mommy and me” infant swim practice she brought me to. I don’t know about that, but years of experience have taught me to recognize this all too familiar feeling that happens before a race.

It’s a combination of the adrenaline and nerves that makes everything heightened, as if you know exactly where you’re going but your body is moving on its own accord. Today I’m not in my comfortable medium of water, today we’re riding bikes.

I’m nervous, but it’s a different feeling than I’m used to. Since I first heard about the Warrior Ride, I was inspired to train on a bike so I could be a part of this trip. My first hurdle was simply getting on the bike. Using a road bike with clip-in shoes was uncomfortable for me I fell more than a few times trying to stop, forgetting my feet were still bound to the bike.

The physical challenges, however, far outweighed the mental ones. I don’t think I deserve to ride in today’s company of combat wounded, active-duty and retired veterans.

Can they tell I don’t belong here? What could I hope to add to any conversation with these American heroes? Even with all my training, can they see how out of my element I am on a bike?

As the wounded warriors of the Warrior Ride get ready to depart on their 30-mile bike ride for the day, sharing snacks, water and stories with each other, I slink back to a circle of police officers drinking their coffee as the steam rises up and evaporates into the chilly air.

I ask an obligatory question to the group about what the route would be and what time they thought we would depart, and proceed to take my time checking my bike, putting on my gear, just trying to blend into the crowd.

As the sun started to peak above the trees, it was time to push off. Following a full police escort, the group started a slow but deliberate and almost defiant ride through the park and off to our first destination at the Citadel.

Struggling to find the appropriate gear for my bike and not bump into anyone else around me down, I managed to look up in time to see the cadets of the Citadel in their uniforms waving these wounded warriors on and sending them off with a salute.

The response from the Citadel cadets was an incredible juxtaposition between those will serve honoring those who have served.

As a 2013 graduate of the Air Force Academy I remembered similar formations in which we honored veterans who visited our campus. I remember early mornings in Colorado where the sun was just coming up over the mountain ranges, and all 4,000 cadets were standing in perfect attention to honor the veterans and wounded warriors who visited.

It was a surreal almost out of body experience to recognize that the life they are training for is the life I’m currently living. No, we we’re certainly not in Colorado anymore. And, it didn’t take too much of a jump to look to my left and right at the Warrior Ride, red, white and blue jerseys, and recognize that I was closer to these veterans with years of military experience then I had previously thought.

Pulling up next to Bob Racine, I learned that I had been misguided about my nerves toward contributing to the conversation; sometimes I just needed to listen.

Racine told me a story about him and his wife Debora, from Oak Island, N.C., and how they started the Warrior Ride.

Bob, a founding member of Delta-Force with three tours in Vietnam under his belt, was tired of the treatment from the American people for him and his comrades when they

returned. After returning home from duty he was neither welcomed nor celebrated by Americans he put his life on the line for. He promised to do everything he could to make sure no veterans were ever treated that way again.

Bob was able to use his experiences to fuel a passion for the rehabilitation of our injured war heroes through adaptive bicycling challenges. Since its inception in 2005, Bob and his wife Debra have operated the Warrior Ride organization out of their garage and often invite traveling veterans to stay the night with them at their home in Oak Island, N.C. That Friday’s 30-mile bike ride was part of a three-day ride throughout Charleston encompassing more than 90 miles of bicycling. The thought of completing 30 miles alone is exhausting, and half way through the ride, I begin to get a sense of the perseverance it requires for anyone to accomplish such a task, and how driven and inspirational it makes our wounded warriors and veterans, some of whom ride on recumbent and hand-powered bikes due to their combat injuries.

Ronald Mayfield, is another cyclist on the Warrior Ride who rides a hand-powered bike.

His helmet looks like the inside of a brain. Inciting curious looks from bystanders and, he hopes, questions. It gives Mayfield the opportunity to talk about his traumatic brain injury he sustained on active duty and to remind us that not all injuries can be seen from the outside.

After years of recovery through adaptive bicycling, Mayfield is one of the Warrior Ride’s strongest cyclists.

Thinking about pedaling a hand bike for 90 miles makes my fears and uncertainty about riding an upright bike for the day pale in comparison. It inspires me to push myself harder in my own training, and to never take for granted my physical abilities.

These recumbent bikes demonstrate another lesson, as we ride over big hills or the onramps of the highway, they literally need a push from other riders to get momentum going over the crest. Images of veterans pushing each other mentally and physically to overcome this challenge are moments I will never forget.

Things that I take for granted, such as being able to ride a bike and climb a hill, become a sense of community and joint purpose to this group I have the honor of riding with.

The longer we rode the more comfortable we became, starting as strangers and using the common thread of military service to tie us together.

We are Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy, active duty, veterans, wounded warriors, volunteers, police officers and civilians, but as we finally entered the gates of Joint Base Charleston to tour the base and rest for lunch; we were simply bikers.

Stepping back from the table from lunch provided by the 628th Air Base Wing Chapel, we all gathered outside in the courtyard for a group picture. In that moment the wounded warriors on both sides of me put their arms around me and we stood for a moment like this, arms locked and smiling in the bright South Carolina sun. This morning’s frigid and uneasy start already forgotten.

I learned that my fears had been unfounded towards not being accepted by this group of bikers, the bond that ties past, present and future military members is one that reaches back through history and links us through our decision to raise our right hands to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

From the fields of Vietnam to the parade field of the Citadel, as the training wheels come off our bikes and we ride as one team it reminds me that wherever stage we are in our military careers, we are part of the same family, and we are never alone.

Reservist gives 'gift of life' to Air Force civilian

Story and photo by Michael Dukes 315th Airlift Wing

An Air Force Reserve Airman with the 315th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., did something to start the year that she never imagined she'd be in a position to do: she saved someone's life.

By an interesting series of events, Master Sgt. Stephanie Kimbrell, 315th Logistics Readiness Squadron logistics plans craftsman, donated one of her kidneys to David Harvill, 628th Medical Group public health specialist, who was suffering from stage 5 kidney disease.

Kimbrell said she was watching a television show in which one of the characters experienced a kidney injury. The character had to have one of her kidneys removed and was placed on dialysis.

"The fact that she could not get a friend or family member to donate broke my heart," Kimbrell said. "I had no idea how difficult it was for people with kidney disease.

"I got up from my show with tears running down my face,” she continued, “and through a stuffy nose told God that if he needed my kidney, I would give it up in his name – that I wasn't afraid of donating it to someone that I knew could use it."

Several months later, she called the Medical University of South Carolina Transplant Center, but there was no answer.

Frustrated, Kimbrell said, she walked into the office of her boss, Air Force Lt. Col. Bobby Degregorio, 315th LRS commander, and told him how she felt she needed to donate her kidney to someone.

"Are you serious?" Degregorio said while raising his eyebrows. "I literally just found out today that one of my friends who works over in the Medical Group is dying and needs a kidney.”

Without hesitation, Kimbrell replied, "Let's do it."

Degregorio told Harvill about the potentially good news, and the process was set in motion.

"Periodically, Stephanie would email me, updating where she was in the process," Harvill said. Although doctors told Kimbrell the chances were one in a million for a perfect match, she remained confident. She began the pre-donation testing and matching process to determine if she was healthy enough and if she was a match.

Harvill said that he got a message to call Degregorio, who told him excitedly, "'Super Dave, you're not going to believe this! Stephanie is a match. You are getting your kidney."

"I was so overcome by emotions I was speechless and broke down," Harvill said. "All I wanted to do was call Stephanie; however, I had no phone number, as we had always emailed."

The date was scheduled for Jan. 22. Kimbrell and Harvill

Reserve Master Sgt. Stephanie Kimbrell, 315th Logistics Readiness Squadron logistics plans craftsman, stands with David Harvill, 628th Medical Group public health specialist. at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. They were complete strangers a few months ago, but now they consider each other family after Kimbrell donated one of her kidneys to Harvill who had stage 5 kidney disease. They both said they want others to be inspired by their story and consider donating an organ to save somebody's life – whether they are family, friends or a stranger.

decided to have a family get-together for dinner the night before surgery. That night, they talked about how this all came about.

"I shared my story with them about how I felt God wanted me to donate to someone, and when I knew Mr. Harvill was the one, I was at complete peace about how this was going to go," Kimbrell said.

"We all cried, and Mr. Harvill shared how difficult his life had been being on dialysis and knowing eventually he would succumb to this disease if he didn't find a kidney," she said.

When she heard Havrill talk and cry about his ordeal, Kimbrell said, she was deeply moved. "Then it suddenly hit me. … Oh, man, I am actually saving this man's life!" she added.

"I often thought about Stephanie and how special a person she was – willing to donate a kidney to a complete stranger," Harvill said. "In talking with the living donor transplant coordinator, this doesn't occur as often as one might think. Most

people receive a cadaver kidney or know their donor."

The donation procedure was a complete success, and during the recovery process at the hospital, Kimbrell and Harvill visited each other daily. To date, Harvill said, both he and Kimbrell are doing well, and their families contact each other regularly.

"I don't really think what I did was heroic. I kind of feel like I was just being obedient to God and what he wanted," Kimbrell said. "I see how I have changed Mr. Harvill's life, but what people don't see is that he really changed my life for the better, too. He is a wonderful person who I now have the privilege of calling family."

"To this day, neither I nor my family can do enough to repay Stephanie for her unselfish act of giving me, a complete stranger, a new kidney and the 'gift of life,'" Harvill said.

"How many of you could do what she has done? Could you actually give a complete stranger a kidney?"

From the Under Secretary of Defense

JB CHS NEWS

This April, the Department observes the tenth annual Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the theme “Live Our Values: Step Up to Stop Sexual Assault.” Sexual assault is a crime and can only be stopped when everyone understands we all have a role in combating it.

Your actions to reinforce standards of behavior and values and to emphasize the importance of social courage will strengthen our culture. Commanders and leaders at every level must establish a climate of dignity, respect, and trust. We also need a personal commitment from every servicemember, at every level in our military, to be steadfast participants in creating that culture. Adherence to Service values and standards of behavior will reduce risk and can stop inappropriate behavior.

The Department does not tolerate, condone, or ignore sexual assault. We must “Live Our Values” every day, all year long and “Step Up” by intervening when appropriate, reporting crimes and supporting victims. When we all get involved we will move the department closer to a culture free of sexual assault.

TRICARE service centers to ‘go virtual’ April 1

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Walk-in service at TRICARE service centers in the United States is ending April 1.

TRICARE officials said the change reflects “the always growing number of TRICARE beneficiaries who most often now turn to a laptop or cell phone when they have questions about their health care.”

TRICARE patients have a wide variety of secure, electronic customer service options available through the TRICARE website at http://www.tricare.mil, officials said. The “I want to … ” feature puts everything beneficiaries want to do online right on the website’s front page, they added.

“For many years now, TRICARE beneficiaries have been taking advantage of our convenient, 24/7 online customer service options,” said Army Maj. Gen. (Dr.) Richard Thomas, direc-

tor of the Defense Health Agency’s health care operations directorate. “All of the services they received at their local [TRICARE service center] are available either online or through our tollfree call centers in the convenience of their own homes. We are committed to providing the highest level of support to all of our beneficiaries.”

With the end of walk-in service on April 1, beneficiaries who want get personal assistance can call their regional health care contractor for enrollment and benefit help, officials said. All health care, pharmacy, dental and claims contact information is located at http://www.tricare.mil/contactus. Beneficiaries can get 24/7 TRICARE benefit information at the TRICARE website, and they can make enrollment, primary care manager and other changes at http://www.tricare.mil/enrollment.

Rather than driving to an installation service center, TRICARE beneficiaries can even combine high-tech with low-tech by downloading health care forms online and sending them through the mail, officials noted.

Pointing out that walk-in service is the most expensive customer-service option, officials said eliminating walk-in service at the centers will save the Defense Department an estimated $250 million over five years. The change does not affect TRICARE benefits or health care delivery, they emphasized.
