Sailors from the Navy Munitions Command Unit Charleston, successfully completed a week-long training and certification from April 1 through 5, at Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station, S.C. The training certified NMC Sailors to safely and efficiently build mines and is conducted about once every two years. The last inspection was October 2010 and the next is scheduled in 2015. The training was conducted by Commander, Mobile Mine Assembly Group based out of San Diego, Calif. Since the earliest days of the U.S. Navy, there has been a need for sea mines and the need to counter them. Today, NMC proudly continues that tradition, through their expert training and preparation with mine munitions. "The mine assembly teams know exactly what they're doing," said Senior Chief Petty Officer Scott Seevers, NMC Mine Operations officer. "Their expert knowledge U.S. Air Force photo / Airman 1st Class Tom Brading is proven through the excellent passing grade Petty Officer 3rd Class Daniel Machado, Navy Munitions Command Unit Charleston mineman, completes on the inspection."

At sea, minemen perform the opposite function of NMC's minemen. Reserve Stock service mines, exercises and training shapes as well as providBecause they do not build underwater mines, they are charged with the mising research and development projects for mining. "We have around 50 minemen in our shop," said Seevers. "It's a tight-knit sion of ensuring the safe navigation of coalition forces. "Mineman at sea perform the jobs of the Navy's quartermaster's, ensuring community, and while at sea we are often called 'hybrid Sailors' because we safe navigation; operations specialists, working in the Combat Information can do pretty much anything on the ship." NMC specializes in refurbishing exercise and training mines, many of Center disseminating strategic and tactical information for operation warfare which have been in the water for years. A multi-step process, the mines go commanders; boatswain's mates where they provide basic seamanship skills used in anchoring, replenishments-at-sea for fuel, parts and food, and gunner's mates, running the ships armory and Anti-Terrorist Force Protection program," said Lt. Christopher Weddell, NMC executive officer. NMC houses one of only two U.S. Navy mine units in the country, and the only mine unit on the eastern seaboard.

COMMENTARY

Diamond Tip: Where’s your integrity compass? Commentary by Master Sgt. Mark Thompson 628th Comptroller Squadron/Air Base Wing additional duty first sergeant

I’ve often wondered why some Airmen would rather run indoors at the sound of Retreat, as opposed to standing outside and rendering the proper respect to our nation’s flag. With the exception of inclement weather, there are no plausible or logical explanations especially for military members in uniform. Some Airmen morph instantly into world-class Olympic sprinters at 16:59 hrs. These acts provoke the exact same personal emotions no matter how many times I witness individuals running away. All military members should have a profound knowledge of the meaning behind Retreat. I had a candid conversation after-the-fact with an airman first class who abandoned his duty to pay respect to our flag. A couple months ago, I was waiting at the base flagpole for the remaining detailed squadron members to show up for Retreat rehearsal. The sounding of Retreat was imminent. An unknown airman first class from another squadron approached the base flagpole dressed in blues. I was very puzzled as to why this Airman was showing up for my squadron rehearsal. He told me he had run indoors the day prior as Retreat sounded across the base. He was ashamed of his personal actions and wanted to make amends for his infraction. According to the Airman, he was not required to wear blues, nor was he coerced or directed to show up at the base flagpole for Retreat that day. We both stood at attention and rendered the proper customs and courtesy during Retreat. Retreat ceremony serves a twofold purpose. This time honored tradition signifies the end of the official duty day and provides the opportunity to pay proper respect to the United States flag. Additionally, Airmen are

afforded the opportunity to reaffirm our total force commitment to our nation and recognize the countless sacrifices paid forward by selfless American service-members in defense of the United States. Every Airman is inherently responsible for knowing the proper customs and courtesies associated with Retreat and to lead by example. The following are applicable protocol procedures. When outside and in uniform, face the flag (if visible) or face the direction the music is being played. Stand at attention and salute on the first note of the national anthem. Drop your salute after the last note of the national anthem is played, or when the flag has been fully lowered. During the playing of Sound Retreat which precedes the lowering of the flag, stand at Parade Rest. Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present, but not in uniform, may render the military salute when outdoors. All other individuals will stand at attention and place their right hand (with a hat if wearing one) over their heart. Airmen wearing the Air Force's physical training uniform should render the same courtesies appropriate when wearing other Air Force uniforms. In the future, you should not have to think twice about standing outside and rendering the applicable customs and courtesies during Retreat. One of our core values is Integrity First! The moral courage to do what is right and lead by example. The sounding of Retreat and the national anthem last approximately 108 seconds. Countless men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country, never thought twice about running away. It’s peace time on Joint Base Charleston, there’s no need to run for cover!

If it isn't you, it's the person next to you Commentary by Senior Airman Kelly Galloway 439th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE, Mass. – "Hey sexy... you single?" I turned to see a fellow Airman in training; standing about 5 foot 8 inches tall, dark hair and eyes. Over the next four months, I heard this fellow classmate repeat the same line more than a couple dozen times. It wasn't just me he had an eye for; it was a handful of my new girlfriends as well. We laughed it off. All of us had just completed basic training and were beginning another chapter in our brand-new military careers at technical school. Why make enemies at the start? About a month in, I grew tired of the cheesy pick-up lines and over-used sexual innuendos. I asked one of our ropes (student leader) to step in to have a chat with the guy regarding how uncomfortable he made me. Unfortunately, that chat didn't have much of an effect on the Airman and as "luck" would have it, I sat next to him during class. Lucky me, right? I was pretty good at letting his suggestive comments flow in one ear and out the other, careful not to show it bothered me (as that only added fuel to his fire). Up to this point, his words were the only offensive thing he had been doing. But then I dropped my pencil. As I stooped over to pick it up I heard a loud voice boom throughout the classroom. "Are you serious, Airman?" Startled, I nearly smacked my head off the table trying to sit back up. With our entire class now looking back toward us, our two class leaders, Marines, shrugged them away and stated "We'll talk about this at break – carry on." Unbeknownst to me, this guy had just executed one of the foulest and sexually suggestive hand gestures behind my head. The class leaders luckily sat behind us and saw what he had just done. That was the final straw. The class leaders already knew how annoyed I was by his behavior and asked if I wanted to take this latest development "up the chain." I had no intention of getting anyone in trouble since we were all brand-new to the military. I'd hoped that the class leaders had scared him enough by this point and decided against it – asking only to move seats to get away from him. With my new location in the classroom, I felt a bit more at ease. Although the Airman now had one of his male friends start to jeer me because I had gotten him in trouble. I felt beaten and angry. I had no control over the situation, it wasn't "my" fault he did what he did. He was lucky I didn't take it up the chain of command. About a week after the hand gesture incident, I'd had it with the remarks from him and his friend. That's when I asked one of our former ropes in our dormitory to have a talk with these two guys. This former rope commanded the respect of all the guys in the Airman dormitory; certainly he would be able to have an impact on this guy. Shortly after the discussion this time, the jokes and rude remarks stopped all together. The Airman and his friend now completely avoided me – Victory at last! Three months later, two weeks before our class graduation date, a female instructor came up to me as I was on my way back from a class assignment. "Airman Galloway, follow me, please," she said. I proceeded down the hallway and into a small room with a handful of computers and two girls from my class already in place. Confusion and a spark of panic overcame me when the door was shut behind me and I realized something serious was going on. One of the female Airmen had been crying and her eyes were still puffy and red. "Galloway, as I understand, you had a harassment issue with a particular Airman?" my instructor asked. I acknowledged her question and explained my experience with the group and asked why this was just coming to light as the incident happened nearly three months prior. Her response shook me to the core as she explained that the two female Airmen, fellow classmates, had just had the same type of harassment, only it had gone above what this man had done to me. The Airman allegedly grabbed one of the girls and cornered her in an area where we kept our equipment. He put his hand over her mouth and pushed her back against the lockers – pressing his body against hers and proceeded to kiss his hand in a suggestive way.

This was why I was being called into the room, the other girl was witness to what happened and they both wanted to open an investigation after speaking with the sexual assault response coordinator on base. They knew I had been in a situation and wanted to know if I also wanted to open an investigation. I realized that what was thought to be simple but annoying joking was turning into something much more serious. How much more would his behavior deteriorate? What if I had reported this incident when it happened to me? Would this still have happened to this girl? The thoughts in my mind

raced. I agreed to speak to the SARC. The concept of an entire office committed to sexual assault boggled me. I had no idea what was in store as the three of us walked into the SARC office to again explain what happened. To my relief, the officer was approachable and sincere; she made every effort to ease our minds and explained what was going to happen. All three of us had to give her our written statements separately and without prejudice. After reviewing our statements, she concluded that there was a definite issue and asked us individually if we wanted to proceed with a restricted or unrestricted report. A restricted report requires the member to be in status and can only report the incident to medical personnel, SARC or a victim advocate, but an unrestricted report means the member can report the incident to investigative agencies such as the Air Force Office of Special Investigation or security forces, as well as to members in their chain of command such as the first sergeant, supervisor, or commander. All three of us wanted the unrestricted report. We were sent back to the dormitory after meeting with the SARC to speak with our military training leaders. Upon arrival, the captain was already waiting for us. As we entered her office, at attention and visibly shaken, she asked us to sit down. Up until this point, we had not had any personal interaction with this busy officer and had grown to fear having to report to her. "Ladies, first of all I want you to know that you are not alone," she said. "Secondly, I want to assure you that this Airman will be dealt with and I will do everything to ensure your safety and confidentiality of this situation, but you need to ensure the confidentiality on your end as well." "Yes, Ma'am," we simultaneously squeaked out. We had already signed confidentiality agreements and were ordered not to talk about the situation to any of our classmates. After an hour of conversing with the captain, she released us to go back to our rooms to deal with what had just occurred in our own manner. What had started as a normal day had taken such a dramatic turn of events. Our minds were warped. We were mentally exhausted. A team of OSI agents came to our dormitory as well as military police, who went through the Airman's room seeking incriminating evidence. They pulled him from class and brought him back to the dorms so that he could pack his belongings. He was being isolated from the rest of the dorm, moving onto the first floor near our MTL's offices. We were only two weeks from graduating. Because of this incident, the Airman jeopardized his marriage, his security clearance – and his military career. Beginning in basic training, all of the advice from my military training instructor had prepared me for something like this, though I never thought I would be involved in a "SARC" case. It was something we had joked and laughed about training. Yet my MTI knew better. Before we left his watchful eye he warned us that an alarming number of technical school SARC cases do happen and will happen and that we should prepare ourselves. His words still rang in my ear like reveille in the morning. "If it isn't you, it's the person next to you."

Airmen “set” for All-Air Force Women’s Volleyball Camp By Staff Sgt. Anthony Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Two Airmen from Joint Base Charleston were recently selected to participate in the 2013 All-Air Force Women's Volleyball Trial Camp April 14, 2013, at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Joint Base Charleston - Air Base's Senior Airmen Sebastiana Solis-Lopez, 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, and Sheila Sanchez-Tosado, 628th Communication Squadron, were chosen to compete with 10 other athletes (Air Force-wide) for a position on the 2013 United States Air Force Women's Volleyball Team. Athletes earning a position on the Air Force team will be able to participate in the 2013 Armed Forces Women's Volleyball Championship held May 2 - 13, 2013, at Hill AFB, Utah. Participants not earning a berth on the Air Force team will return to their unit immediately upon their release from the Trial Camp and Air Force athletes not earning a position on the combined Armed Forces AllStar Women's Volleyball team will return to their home station after the Armed Forces Championship. Both JB Charleston Airmen are unit deployment managers with their respective units. UDMs conduct all administrative functions for troops that are deployed to accomplish the Air Force mission in peace or wartime scenarios and are also responsible for the accounting and deployment of logistical items and equipment of Air Force operations.

"We feel very fortunate to have this opportunity," said Solis-Lopez, a native of San Bernardino, Calif. "I'm definitely thankful for my commander's and supervisor's support and look forward to giving it my all." From April 14 to May 1, 2013, Solis-Lopez and Sanchez-Tosado will endure two weeks of rigorous training at the Warrior Fitness Center at Hill AFB. With a light practice on arrival day (April 14), the camp will hold two practices daily, according to Solis-Lopez. According to Katie Kimmich, U.S. Air Force Women's Volleyball Team coach, the majority of team play and jumping will be done in the morning with a lighter serve-andpass session in the afternoon followed by conditioning or weights. Weekend mornings will be reserved for scrimmages. "I'm very excited!" said Sanchez-Tosado, a Rincon, Puerto Rico native. "I can't wait to get out there and represent JB Charleston. It's going to be tough, but I'm ready to take on anything." Air Force athletes can also earn a berth on the Armed Forces Women's Volleyball Team representing the Air Force in the 2013 National Volleyball Championship May 24 29, 2013, in Louisville, Ky.

Air Force restarts tuition assistance By Staff Sgt. David Salanitri Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – The Air Force has officially restarted military tuition assistance, effective immediately. The service restarted the program as a result of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013, where Congress called for the MTA program to continue in the current fiscal year. As a result of the restart, the program will resume the same benefits as before. Airmen are eligible for up to $4,500 per fiscal year and a maximum of $250 per semester hour or quarter hour equivalent to cover tuition and allowable fees. Military tuition assistance is not available retroactively to cover courses taken and paid for using any other funding source during the suspension of military tuition assistance. "Military tuition assistance will be the same program Airmen are used to," said Russell Frasz, the director of Force Development. "The same policies and procedures will be in place." With this change, current and future Airmen will be given another tool to develop professionally through advanced education, Frasz said. "Voluntary education and military tuition assistance programs continue to be integral to the recruiting, retention and readiness of Airmen and contribute to institutional competencies," said Kim Yates, the Air Force Voluntary Education

chief. "In the long term, the Air Force will still be able to leverage the learning achieved by Airmen to ensure a dynamic, flexible force able to work in uncertain environments around the world. The will have the ability to think critically." Looking to the future, Frasz notes that they are trying to maintain the balance of the military tuition assistance benefits while also ensuring the force is ready and equipped for operations. "We are working with senior leaders to develop a way ahead for fiscal year 2014 that takes into account both the value of the (military tuition assistance) program as well maintaining the financial health of the program within funding constraints." Though times may seem uncertain, Frasz wants to reassure Airmen of senior leaders' commitment to Airmen and their education. The Air Force continues to value education as a force multiplier and Airmen should take advantage of educational opportunities making them more proficient in their profession, setting them up for success in their career. Like all organizations going through sequestration and budgetary struggles, Frasz is committed to fighting for the best Air Force possible. "Fiscal constraints create a challenge that Air Force leadership continues to work through," he said. "We strive to meet the needs of Airmen and the Air Force."

Denton Program provides avenue for humanitarian assistance

By Staff Sgt. William O'Brien Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Denton Program is a commodity transportation program authorized under Title 10 U.S.C. Section 402, which provides the authority for Department of Defense to use any extra space on U.S. military cargo aircraft to transport humanitarian assistance materials donated by non-governmental organizations, international organizations and private voluntary organizations for humanitarian relief. The Denton Office was originally located and operated at Pope Field, N.C., until Oct. 1999, when it relocated to Charleston Air Force Base's 437th Aerial Port Squadron because of the correlation of their missions. "Seventy-five to 80 percent of everything that's shipped under the Denton Program goes to the (U.S. Southern Command) area of responsibility and Joint Base Charleston is the hub for all SOUTHCOM missions," explained Ken Hundemer, Denton Operations director of operations. The Denton office is a two-man shop responsible for taking requests to send goods, which have been approved by and working the logistics to get the goods to their desired location on a space available basis. "Our portion of the whole thing is the transportation aspect," said Hundemer. "We get approval via email. Then we pull up their application and print it and save it. It gives us all the donation information as well as the validation to allow us to bring the cargo into the Defense Transportation System. "Our office will put together the paperwork to have the shipment put into the DOD transportation system. We put that together then we email the donating organization to let them know they've been approved. We work with that organization to help them to get their cargo into a military facility so we can prepare the cargo for airlift." In 2012, the Denton Office was able to send more than 2.5 million pounds of cargo to nearly 20 countries from 43 differ-

ent agencies. "The Denton Program was enacted in 1985 by U.S. Senator Jeremiah Denton, a retired Navy Rear Admiral and an advisor on Latin American affairs for President Ronald Reagan. A communist insurgency was taking place in South America. As the United States began shipping supplies to the area, Denton noticed how poverty stricken these countries weres. He made a proposal to Congress to allow non-government agencies to use available space on military airlifts to ship cargo to these countries. After Sept. 11, 2001, this included Iraq and Afghanistan as well," said Hundemer." Historically, cargo moved under the Denton Program has been medical/dental supplies, education supplies, furniture, vehicles, agricultural supplies, machinery and clothing to support ongoing relief and development projects. It is not a program designed to respond to emergencies or disaster situations. "Sometimes we get calls from civilians who want to send things to the troops over in Afghanistan or Iraq, but we can't do that because the consignee has to be non-governmental with distribution ultimately going to people in that country," said Hundemer. Donating organizations range from large, non-profit organizations, to small church groups and private individuals. The cargo is moved and distributed by non-profit organizations in the destination country. Donating agencies must apply and get approval from Defense Security Cooperation Agency, U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. State Department, and U.S. Transportation Command for transportation thru the Denton Program. The application and approval process is completed through a single-source website: http://hatransportation. ohasis.org.

Leadership from the 437th Airlift Wing visited multiple sections in the wing March 20 - 22, 2013 and highlighted five Airmen for their recent innovative ideas. Captain Coningsby Burdon, 16th Airlift Squadron, Master Sgt. Greg Butler, 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, Master Sgt. Glenn Hill, 437th Maintenance Operations Squadron, Tech. Sgt. Robert Charest, 437th Aerial Port Squadron, and Staff Sgt. Ryan Yeager, 437th Maintenance Squadron, were highlighted for their suggestions for improving specific processes in their career fields. "Innovation is an imperative in today's environment," said Col. Al Miller, 437th AW vice commander. "The complexity of our national security missions, combined with the reality of constrained resources require our Airmen more than ever before to innovate creative effective and efficient solutions. The solutions strive to achieve established goals which align to nested organizational priorities."

16th Airlift Squadron The 16th Airlift Squadron's process to manually track mobility supply items led to errors and insufficient/excessive inventory. "There's not enough time or manpower to accurately track inventory items without inducing error," said Burdon. Burdon introduced the TC Max inventory software program to handle physical inventory and streamline the issuing process in preparation for the upcoming 16th AS deployment. This software, paired with a wireless barcode scanner, could establish a new inventory concept of operations. Burdon said, "We brought this system to the 16th Airlift Squadron for two reasons. The first is to track our inventory while eliminating waste; saving time and money. The second is as a proof of concept: so that other organizations can see the flexibility of this system, and consider using it in their areas."

437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Aircraft from the 437th AMXS have exceeded the 1.2 percent repeat/recur rate for five of the past six months with an overall average of 2.6 percent, negatively impacting the overall health of the fleet.

The repeat/recur rate refers to discrepancies discovered in flight by the aircrew that happens again during the new flight (repeat) or within two to four flights (recur), according to Master Sgt. Gregory Butler, 437th AMXS AFSO21 program manager. The rate can indicate training deficiencies, experience shortfalls of maintenance personnel, insufficient technical data, or pressure to fly aircraft to meet flying schedule demands. It is an important indicator because it measures the overall quality of maintenance performed in a unit. Their Set Improvement Target is to reduce controllable repeat/recur rate to 2.3 percent within 60 days and to further reduce the rate to 1.8 percent within a year. Senior Master Sgt. Donald Sturm and his team (Master Sgt. Zach Moore, Tech. Sgt. Dante Holmes, Tech. Sgt. Christopher Holland, Staff Sgt. Christopher Jones, Ben Futrell, Bryant Rhone and Holly Bergin), determined that the root cause for the Radar Altimeter Repeats/Recurs was because of a lack of support equipment, fault isolation step was insufficient, job guide operations check contains incorrect link for calibration and the radar altimeter was always on. "The radar altimeter system provides aircraft height above the terrain to be displayed on head's up displays for quick visual by the pilot," said Butler. "Information provided by this system is critical on landing approach because the aircrew must have accurate information to ensure they have sufficient altitude for a proper landing or to avoid ground obstacles." The root cause for the discrepancies with the weather radar was due to limited technical data. To address these issues, the team drafted and submitted AFTO Forms 22s. Facilitators for this were Butler, Jay Lombardo and Tech. Sgt. Dennis O'Callaghan.

437th Maintenance Operations Squadron The 437th MOS team, led by Staff Sgt. Matthew Mahoney, recommended the Digitized Jacket File initiative which freed shelving space and digitally archived aircraft history records, making it much easier to access and record aircraft history. "The old practice meant physically storing the paper copies of each aircraft's history, document reviews and maintenance records

in filing cabinets, which took up a lot of space and was labor intensive when they needed to access an old file," said Mahoney. "On average, each aircraft's file contains 25 sections and each section has approximately 40 pages of paper." Mahoney effectively eliminated more than 51,000 pages of paper per aircraft. 437th Aerial Port Squadron "The 437th APS recently had a series of discrepancies with personnel who deployed into the CENTCOM Theater," said Charest. "Discrepancies directly delay a member's contribution to the war-fighting effort in theater." Charest and his 437th APS team members, Master Sgt. Serge Ladd, Robert Papizan, Staff Sgt. Zachary Gumulak, and facilitator Jon Kidder, were able to determine the root cause of the discrepancies "out-processing is time consuming and confusing." To reach their Set Improvement Target of zero deployment discrepancies, the team proposed a virtual out-processing checklist to reduce unnecessary stops and time to outprocess. In addition, Charest developed an inhouse requirement database, which gives the unit deployment managers, members and leadership the ability to closely track the status of deployment preparation. They also integrated flight leadership earlier into the tasking process, which enabled the service member to be notified of a deployment sooner and issues/training identified and resolved well in advance of the deployment. The team also suggested creating appointment times at out-processing offices to reduce wait times and out-of-office situations requiring a return trip. The process of notifying personnel of taskings immediately after selection was changed to help personnel meet qualification and medical clearance requirements. 437th Maintenance Squadron Members from the 437th Maintenance Squadron determined that when owning work centers monitor schedule test measurement and diagnostic equipment into Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory, members have noticed variations and bottlenecks in the scheduling and receiving process.

availability rate is negatively trending downward toward the Air Force minimum standard of 93 percent. "The equipment has varying due dates for calibration, so items are constantly due for calibration for each work center," said Staff Sgt. Ryan Yeager, 437th MXS PMEL production control noncommissioned officer in charge. "PMEL now defines a customer schedule for drop off and pick up to ensure the most efficient and effective use of people's time. We also implemented a timely policy letter to further define the expectations from our customers." Staff Sgt. Ryan Yeager, Senior Airman Jeremy Young and their team (Tech. Sgt. Patrick Howells, Tech. Sgt. Thomas Mahurin, Tech. Sgt. Curt Martini, Staff Sgt. Phillip Garland, Staff Sgt. Brooke Howells and Airman 1st Class Michael Sulima) suggested that infrequency of task and undefined methods attributed to non-standard work, poor coordination with owning work centers and all levels of leadership lead to awaiting customer pick-up and overdue status, and inefficient use of personnel and floor layout equaled wasted time and steps of multiple personnel. "The Airmen of the 437th Airlift Wing have quickly adopted a culture of innovation," said Miller. "Empowered by leadership, Airmen throughout the Wing have suggested numerous improvements, increasing mission performance, saving resources and improving processes." The AFSO21 Continuous Process Improvement-Management Tool (CPI-MT) is the central repository for AFSO21 events, projects and ideas. It provides Air Force process owners/managers, core team leads and members the tools needed for project management and strategic alignment, and has executive visibility, reporting and auditing capability.

Operation R&R: building family bonds, rewarding heroes By Airman 1st Class Tom Brading Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

One Joint Base Charleston spouse, along with the help and support of the local community, is making a big difference by dedicating her free time to rewarding local heroes. Nikki Weeks, spouse of Capt. Shane Weeks, 16th Airlift Squadron C-17 pilot (along with a team of sponsors, greeters and business partners) dedicates herself to providing service members who have recently returned from deployment, the opportunity to reconnect with their families. She does this by operating Operation R&R, the Charleston chapter of the nonprofit organization. The program is based out of Hilton Head and Charleston, S.C. Property owners donate their homes and condominiums to ORR, providing service members who have recently returned from deployment and their families, an opportunity to spend time away from everyday worries. It also gives these families a chance to strengthen their relationships, which are often strained due to long separations. "Families accepted into the program are awarded a four to seven day stay in donated homes and condos in the Charleston area during our season," said Weeks. A typical season for ORR runs from September through March. In addition to the free lodging, businesses offer discounts to the individuals; this includes restaurants, servicerelated companies, grocery stores and the opportunity to have a family portrait taken by a professional photographer.

"Simply put, Operation R&R is very awesome," said Weeks, in regards to the programs mission and success. "Seeing the faces of service members and their families reconnect makes everything worth it." ORR was originally founded in 2008 in Hilton Head, S.C., by Dr. Grant Evans, who donated his vacation home to a Soldier and his family. What started as a random act of kindness has turned into regional and soon-to-be national movement. Today, more than 700 military families stationed at bases around the Southeast have enjoyed a free vacation courtesy of ORR. "Operation R&R played a vital role in re-acclimating my family after two consecutive, back to back, deployments," said Lt. Col. Pete Reddan, 437th Airlift Wing chief of safety. "To have the opportunity to spend time away was invaluable to reconnecting, on a personal level, with my wife and son. Operation R&R directly improves any DOD members resiliency." For Weeks, ORR is her full-time, volunteer job. But, she has also volunteered as a JB Charleston - Air Base Crossfit instructor and is currently a board member on the Team Charleston Spouses Club. "Often times, people see photos of homecomings with families crying and hugging and everything appears great," said Weeks. "But, what is sometimes difficult to see are the weeks following the homecoming. Reintegrating after months away can be just as challenging as deploying. If what I've done has helped save even one family, then it's well worth the time dedicated."

Naval Health Clinic Charleston – one month tobacco-free Story and photo by Jeff Kelly NHCC Public Affairs Officer

Naval Health Clinic Charleston on Joint Base Charleston Weapons Station, made the commitment to become an entirely tobacco-free command March 1, 2013. This tobacco-free initiative aligns with the Chief of Naval Operations and the Navy Surgeon General's guidance in assisting and encouraging all tobacco users to stop tobacco use. NHCC has now been officially tobacco-free for over a month. As a healthcare facility, NHCC leadership felt they had an obligation to provide a healthy, tobacco-free environment for NHCC's patients and staff. "We were concerned there might be some opposition to the new policy," said Navy Capt. Richard Joralmon, NHCC acting commanding officer. "I'm happy to report that those concerns were almost entirely unfounded and the reaction to the tobacco-free policy has been overwhelmingly supportive. We were determined to follow through on this decision, regardless of reaction, because it was the right decision. However, patients and staff members have made it easy to follow through because they have been so supportive." Many health care beneficiaries who are seen at NHCC for their health care needs echoed the captain's opinion. "I think the whole world should be tobacco-free," said Reginald Cox, an NHCC patient and retired chief petty officer. "I used to smoke and I quit. I think most smokers would actually like to quit but they can't. Going tobacco-free here is a great idea. Maybe it will motivate someone to quit for good." The tobacco-free policy also applies to cigars, pipes and all smokeless tobacco products including dip, chewing tobacco, and snuff. To make the transition as easy as possible, the clinic's certified tobacco treatment specialist is providing group and individual tobacco cessation counseling to patients and staff.

NHCC can also provide free phone and internet resources. "This is, and continues to be, an important milestone in our journey towards a healthier workplace and healthier clinic," said Claudia Dion, NHCC Health Educator and Certified

Tobacco Treatment specialist. Naval Health Clinic Charleston staff and beneficiaries are encouraged to call NHCC at 794-6910 if they have any questions or concerns about going tobacco-free.

Participants start the 5k Commander's Challenge Run April 5, 2013, at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base, S.C. The 5k was held to kick off Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

SAPR-Fleet complete; GMT going forward By Ed Barker Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – As Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month kicked-off, the recent Navy-wide Sexual Assault and Prevention - Fleet training for E-6 and below Sailors recorded a 97 percent completion rate by April 9, highlighting the Navy's continued focus on this critical issue. Following on the heels of Navy's SAPR-F training, April's SAAPM serves as another part of the Navy's campaign to stop sexual assault and promote a culture of respect and professionalism in the force. "Overall performance by commands in completing the SAPR-F training was superb," said Vice Adm. Scott Van Buskirk, Chief of Naval Personnel. "While we still have some remaining Sailors to train, from the top down, our Navy has embraced the need to take a stand against this crime and take care of our shipmates. Helping our Sailors understand that they have not only the power, but the responsibility to step in and prevent assaults is a major step forward." The SAAPM Department of Defense Theme is "We own it. We'll solve it together." "This month provides another opportunity to emphasize our ongoing commitment to instill a climate that does not tolerate, condone or ignore sexist behavior, sexual harassment or sexual assault," added Van Buskirk. "We have accomplished a great deal in the past year with our leadership and fleet efforts, but we must remember that SAPR is an ongoing effort by everyone in the chain of command." The recent SAPR-F training has also been approved to serve as this year's General Military Training for sexual assault awareness. Previous documentation of SAPR-F for E6 and below has been rolled over to automatically document completion of the fiscal year 2013 SAPR GMT Lesson, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Refresher Training (CPPD-GMT-SAPRRT-1.0). Command E-7 and above are encouraged to complete required annual SAPR GMT training during Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and may use the revised SAPR-F Course Facilitation Guide to meet the fiscal year 2013 SAPR GMT requirement vice completing CPPD-GMTSAPRRT-1.0. "The revised SAPR-F training is not required for all E-7 and above, but is a convenient and highly encouraged method for them to complete the required SAPR GMT for the fiscal year," said Capt. William Marvel, SAPR Task Force chief of staff. "It serves an additional benefit of exposing them to the SAPR-F training that their E-6 and below personnel received." Naval Administrative Message 075/13 provides additional details and links to turn-key products to facilitate delivery of SAAPM messaging and events. Those products are located on the Navy Personnel Command SAPR website: http://www.sapr.navy.mil. The revised SAPR-F course facilitation guide for E-7 and above can be downloaded from the SAPR-L/F training webpage: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/sapr/ pages/training.aspx or from Navy Knowledge Online (select the leadership tab and scroll down the page to the SAPR training section). Sexual assault prevention is an important element of the readiness area of the 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, which builds resiliency to hone the most combat-effective force in the history of the Department of the Navy.
