April draws to end, SAAPM continues Story and photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Chad Hallford Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and as it nears its last day, the education, awareness, and culture of prevention and response endure beyond the events sponsored during the teal-ribboned campaign.

April brought many SAAPM-themed sporting events, including 5k runs on both the Joint Base Charleston - Air Base and Weapons Station, volleyball tournaments and dodgeball tournaments, as well as informational booths, message from

survivors and t-shirt displays. However, the uniting factor for every event was sexual assault awareness and prevention.

“This month rejuvenates me and allows our victim advocates and other volunteers to engage with service members,” said Tiffany Mizzell, JB Charleston - Weapons Station Sexual Assault Response coordinator. “Furthermore, we introduce ourselves, educate others and show our support to our military community.”

The Department of Defense theme, “We own it … We’ll solve it … Together,” is further supported by the Navy’s addendum: “Courage … including the remaining Courage to Support

and Courage to Commit.”

However, according to the latest available Department of the Navy statistics, more than two sexual assaults are reported each day within the Navy, and for fiscal year 2011, 408 unrestricted reports and 174 restricted reports were made.

“We need to continue the awareness and prevention efforts that this campaign has inspired,” said Mizzell. “These aspects of the program will only last if education remains a priority, and if we challenge each other to be active bystanders and intervene, or step in and act, when necessary.”

Approximately two-thirds of the reports obtained by the Navy, are of servicemember on servicemember, while an estimated 40 percent of Sailors remain silent about this crime, according to Mizzell. This number may actually under represent those going unreported, as the U.S. Department of Justice estimate is about 54 percent. Additional statistics show about four percent of Navy active-duty females, or nearly 8,600, and one percent of Navy active-duty males, or 10,700 sexual assaults, occurred according to anonymous reporting Navy surveys.

“SAAPM gives our survivors a voice, and just because the month is about to end, doesn’t mean an end to that voice – expect it to speak throughout the year,” said Mizzell.

The DOD has created a confidential, anonymous, live, one-on-one sexual assault helpline for the community. The DOD Safe Helpline provides crisis support for adult survivors affected by sexual assault. The national toll free option is (877) 995-5247, via internet at www.safehelpline.org, by texting 55-247 or calling (202) 470-5546 from outside the United States. Local options are 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are available at (843) 478-8615 for Navy support and (843) 9637272 for Air Force support.

WASHINGTON – Deployed Airmen are ready and motivated, but those based in the United States face fiscal challenges that sap morale, Air Force Secretary Michael Donley said April 23, 2013.

"The Airmen that we send downrange are welltrained – they are pumped," Donley told the Defense Writers Group. "There's no doubt they are doing what they signed up to do in the military. They are doing their jobs in a combat environment."

Donley, the longest-serving Air Force leader, said he has been struck by how connected and educated the force is. "I can go downrange to an Airman's call at Bagram [Airfield, Afghanistan] and get questions on sequestration, or tuition assistance or the retirement plan," he said.

Airmen are connected, and they follow what defense leaders and Congress are doing, the secretary said.

"They know we are living through challenging times," he added.

In his experience, Donley said, this "connectedness" is a change for airmen that has had an effect across the institution. Airmen listen when Congress talks about sequestration or budget cuts that last 10 years, he said. For many of the younger airmen, he noted, this is their first experiences with a constrained fiscal environment.

"Those who have been in 20 to 30 years know there are ups and downs," he said.

Airmen also know the Air Force faces huge modernization challenges, the secretary said.

"Equipment they are operating is beyond what we thought its service life was going to be," he said. "And they know that the training

environment they come back to ... is not as robust and not as demanding as it used to be."

Donley took over as acting Air Force secretary in June 2008, after then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates asked for then-Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne to resign over concern about the Air Force's focus and performance in its nuclear mission. That was a low point for morale in the Air Force, Donley said, adding that he believes morale has risen overall since then.

"Airmen downrange are performing magnificently," he said. "Air Force men and women know they are making a difference in the lives of those who serve on the ground."

The Air Force is key to operations in Afghanistan and around the world, Donley added.

"The Air Force is providing a lot of glue to hold current joint and coalition operations together," he said.

COMMENTARY

Airmen taking care of Airmen … what truly matters!

Commentary by Col. Darren Hartford 437th Airlift Wing commander

Last week, the 437th Airlift Wing experienced the sudden loss of one of our own - Maj. David Diehl passed away Wednesday, 17 April. The entire 437th AW and Team Charleston family mourns the loss and shares our deepest sympathies with his wife Nicole and his children, Paige, Luke and Juliet, the rest of his surviving family, as well as the immediate members of Maj. Diehl's Air Force family ... the men and women of the 16th Airlift Squadron and the 437th Operations Group Staff, where Maj. Diehl worked.

I would like to also express my gratitude to the entire Team Charleston Air Force family for how you reached out and supported the 437th AW and the Diehl family in our time of grief. As our Air Force family shares in the pain of our loss and reaches out to find ways to support the family and the squadron who knew and loved Major Diehl, it demonstrates one of my favorite parts of serving in our Air Force: We are a community. We take care of our fellow Airmen.

When events, like what happened this past week at the Boston Marathon, or any personal tragedy like the loss of Maj. Diehl occurs, it makes us focus on what truly matters. Day-to-day pressures or the 'tyranny of the urgent' oftentimes make us lose that focus. By this I mean that sometimes it seems the most important thing we do in a day is finishing a project, making a takeoff time, completing a repair, going to a meeting

or even sending an e-mail. stopping to learn what is going on in When we focus on that daytheir lives or being able to hear the difto-day 'urgent' project, we ference between some saying "I'm fine" tend to lose sight of the peoand meaning it versus "I'm fine" just ple around us.

Pruning vs. levying discipline

Commentary by Lt. Col. Robert Burton 628th Air Base Wing Staff Judge Advocate

When I was back in high school, I worked at a golf course during the summers, as well as afternoons and evenings during portions of the school year. I spent many hours taking care of the expansive areas of grass, trees, shrubs and related verdure. I very much enjoyed it. In fact, I enjoyed that kind of activity so much that - in spite of my parents having three other able-bodied sons living with us - I volunteered to take care of our yard on my own. The only stipulation Lt. Col. Robert Burton 628th Air Base Wing was that no one else in the home could intervene Staff Judge Advocate in any of my yard work. Given the fact my parents and siblings were apparently more sane or intelligent than I, they all quickly agreed to the deal.

On the side of our home there was a row of trees and bushes that separated our yard from our neighbor's. The plants had pretty much been left to themselves during the years we had lived in that home, and it showed. They had grown unchecked, without direction or guidance, and the result was a somewhat haphazardly placed collection of vegetation that offended my new-found sensitivities to the proper care of flora. So I went to work.

I got up early on a Saturday and with shears in hand I began to carefully cut away the limbs, branches and boughs that were impeding the side yard plants' potential. I had learned much of the necessary technique while working with the professionals at the golf course, and as I worked I held to the belief that by cutting, breaking and removing parts of the existing greenery, growth would be spurred, dying plants would be revived and the yard as a whole would be taken to a new level of beauty and balance theretofore unrealized.

Later that evening, I had finished the job and removed the refuse from the yard. My parents came home shortly afterwards and surveyed my handiwork for the first time that day. I was ill-prepared for their response. They were horrified. The barrier the overgrown shrubbery had previously provided to our view of the neighbor's unkempt yard, dog, and RV had been removed. In its place

was only a scant remnant that seemed to serve as a frame for the unsightly mess beyond. Of course, my parents were right. It did look terrible. At that point there was nothing I could do about that. My attempts at quickly educating my parents on the science of pruning and the idea that in time, the barrier would look better than it ever had had fallen on deaf ears. It was hard to blame them. They were at least glad they hadn't paid me for my work.

There are some obvious parallels between pruning and levying discipline; be it in a family setting or within a squadron. Often times as supervisors we hesitate to discipline or otherwise mentor subordinates or coworkers when they need or deserve it. It's awkward. It's painful. It's uncomfortable. Sometimes a lack of discipline leads to behavior that stifles real progress or growth, and eventually may even make it harder for others around that person to move forward, choking off surrounding development. In either case, true potential remains unmet.

While "pruning" is often disruptive, while it may temporarily pain the individual at whom it is directed and may reveal unsightly truths we'd prefer remain hidden, in the long run discipline and proper mentoring bears fruit. I can recall myriad examples of supervisors correcting my actions and setting me straight. I can't say I always enjoyed those moments: most of the time I didn't. But I know in nearly every case I learned something that changed me and the direction I was going. Over time, I have benefitted greatly from those moments and am closer to reaching my true potential than I would have it left unchecked to grow as I saw fit.

A couple of years after the side yard pruning incident, my parents reluctantly and fully admitted that they were much happier with the way the plants hard turned out than they were previously. I remember the incident not only for the lessons it taught me, but also because it was probably the only time in my life I may have known more than my parents. I still frequently bring it up in their presence.

The legal office exists in part to help others on base as they use the tools they've been given to correct and better others. While almost always a difficult task, I believe most individuals (on both sides of the equation) benefit from the process. Please use your tools wisely and judiciously, but please use them. As a result, we reach a greater potential and better perform the mission we've all been assigned.

Diamond Tip: Off-base medical care

Commentary by Tech. Sgt. Nick Rykal 437th Maintenance Squadron assistant first sergeant

Have you ever received off-base medical care?

If so, was it an emergency or were you referred to that civilian medical facility by your Primary Care Manager?

According to AFI 41-210, "Service members, who seek medical/dental care outside the

Military Health System without prior approval or coordination with the medical training facility responsible for their primary care, do so at their own risk. Any unfavorable outcome resulting from elective care provided by civilian sources could result in a not-in-line-of duty finding and potentially impact disability benefits."

Whether you receive off-base medical care because of an emergency or you were referred to

one, make sure that civilian medical facility sends a "summary of treatment" to your PCM. This will allow your PCM to ensure that the treatment you received was adequate and will also inform them about any prescribed medications that could cause you to test positive on a urinalysis.

For more information on civilian medical care for active-duty members, refer to AFI 41210 or contact your PCM.

Using my voice to find my strength

Commentary by Tech. Sgt. Christina M. Styer 380th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

SOUTHWEST ASIA – I felt like everyone knew how stupid I was and because I made bad choices, he got away with it.

I did make really bad choices – choices that allowed me to put myself in a position to get sexually assaulted, just two months after turning 21 years old.

My story is not that different than many stories shared by the survivors of sexual assault.

I met a guy who was new to our unit at a dorm party. We all spent the night getting drunk and hanging out and for some reason I agreed to let this guy I didn't know into my room without anyone else.

My intentions were innocent, I had no interest in him, other than being friends, and I thought the same of his intentions. The whole night he treated me like a kid sister, not someone he was thinking about sexually.

One minute we were talking and joking around and the next I was waking up to him doing things to me that I had not agreed to do. I was scared, confused, angry and very drunk. I knew I had to get him off of me but I didn't know how. I tried pushing him off but he was heavier than me and

being drunk had left me less coordinated than I usually am.

I didn't know what to do. But I did know that I did not want to have sex with him. So I started screaming for him to get off of me.

I got lucky because he did. But not before he violated me in ways I didn't agree to. I did nothing that night, but the next morning I went to my friends and told them what happened. They helped me call security forces and report the incident.

This was in the days before the program we now know as the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response so reporting was not easy and the results of reporting were uncomfortable and full of judgment from everyone I encountered during the process.

My attacker told everyone that I was flirting with him in my room and that I led him on and then changed my mind and was now claiming sexual assault.

But how could I have led him on? I passed out.

The security forces members treated me like it was my fault for putting myself in such a terrible situation, my first sergeant and commander issued a no-contact order but would not allow me to move to another dorm and my supervisor treated me like all of my appointments were an inconvenience.

In all honesty, I couldn't really blame any of

them for their reaction. I knew I had been really stupid and I didn't have the greatest record at the time. I could see how they would all treat me like I had done something wrong and should just "shut up and color."

My friends and boyfriend were great, but they didn't know what to do any more than I did. I had no one to help me.

I felt sad, ashamed, embarrassed, violated and mostly -- alone. I felt like the Air Force didn't take care of me because I didn't deserve to be taken care of.

Who is naïve enough to invite a stranger into their room and not assume something bad was going to happen? I was.

This innocent, but careless decision turned out to be the worst possible choice I could have ever made. But I made it.

I decided to consider myself lucky that I had not been raped and not allow myself to be called anything other than a survivor. It was hard to move past feeling like I couldn't trust my chain of command. It was even harder to see him every day in the squadron halls during the day and the dorm halls at night.

I did what a lot of people do when bad things happen, I decided to forget about it, to just "get See My Voice, Page 3

CPO 365 Leadership Training works

By Chief Petty Officer Michelle Pacheco Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston

Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston on Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station, has been executing a full court press on Chief Petty Officer 365 training. The program, which began under the direction of the previous Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, Rick West, is designed to prepare and train first class petty officers for their future roles and to maintain continuous development once selected to the rank of chief petty officer.

To implement the program, each of the Brig's chief petty officers are assigned a team of two first class petty officers. The chiefs meet and mentor their team at weekly training sessions to demonstrate and evaluate a myriad of topics from the chief petty officer's perspective to include: leadership, general military knowledge, naval heritage and physical fitness. Chief Petty Officer 365 command formal training sessions take place twice a month, however, Sailors often spend considerably more time preparing individually and as a team in order to adequately complete assignments which will be evaluated by the chiefs.

The results are Sailors who are better prepared to meet more challenging leadership roles,

both at present and future duty assignments.

"At first I thought this was leadership training our departmental chiefs should be conducting every day, but after evaluating the program's effectiveness I'm confident this deckplate leadership and training is bettering our Sailors and increasing their aptitude for advancement exams," said Commander Patrick Boyce, NCBC executive officer.

And the program is paying dividends.

Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston had two Sailors selected to chief petty officer during the 2012 selection board. And, during the recent Sailor of the Year competition, Petty Officer 1st Class Andre Thercy, NCBC's 2012 Sailor for the Year, went on to be chosen as Navy Personnel Command's Sailor of the Year, hopefully a stepping stone to advancement to chief petty officer.

"The competition for Sailor of the Year was extremely tough and the other finalists were outstanding Sailors," Thercy said. "I credit my success to NCBC's chief's mess and the training provided to me during CPO 365.

Now, I can use my experience to enhance my leadership skills, strengthen my commitment and provide additional mentorship to those junior Sailors whose goal is to become Sailors of the Year and chief petty officers."

over it and move on" as I had been told a million times. It would have been really great if it were really that simple. But it isn't.

I had nightmares, panic attacks and I was an extremely unhappy person for a lot of years. I never felt good or worthy enough and I destroyed most of my relationships, including my marriage.

Then, in 2008 I volunteered to become a victim advocate.

My motivation for being a VA was to help other women who had this terrible thing happen to them. I never imagined that sitting through my 40-hour training would change how I viewed my entire experience. As it turns out, my immature and reckless decision did not make me to blame for what he did to me. He was to blame no matter what.

I had allowed this terrible thing that happened to me. But the hurtful way I was treated by those I trusted to take care of me and to empathize with me had led me to view myself as "less-than" for a lot of years. But that was a lie.

Finding this realization helped me find my

happiness, my power and my voice. I didn't deserve what happened to me, even if my drunken choices were not the smartest. I deserved to be taken care of, to have someone treat me like I mattered, how I felt mattered and protect me from the man who took my sense of security away.

That didn't happen for me until years later when I finally sought counseling through my church, a thought that never crossed my mind until my VA training.

The SAPR program saved me almost six years after I was sexually assaulted. In learning how to help others, I learned how to help myself. I am strong again; strong enough to know that I am not powerless and I have a voice.

The SAPR program is here to help. The Sexual Assault Response Coordinator is here to help you.

I urge anyone who has been sexually assaulted or raped to contact your local SARC as soon as possible. The help you need is there – it is free and you will be treated with dignity, compassion and care.

Involuntary Administrative Discharges for 2013 released

By Robert Yancey 628th Air Base Wing Judge Advocate Office

The below Airmen from Joint Base Charleston were involuntarily discharged due to a lack of performance and/or conduct that demonstrated their lack of potential for further service.

Each member should strive to meet and exceed the standards of performance and conduct in order to receive an Honorable discharge.

Members discharged from their current enlistment with a service characterization of less than a fully Honorable discharge are not entitled to receive educational benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill or the Post 9/11 GI Bill.

A service characterization of Under Honorable Conditions (General) discharge is an enlistment that was marred by negative aspects of a person’s duty performance or personal conduct where the negative aspects outweigh the good. The least favorable characterization possible when being recommended for involuntary administrative discharge is Under Other Than Honorable Conditions. An UOTHC discharge reflects that a member’s personal conduct fell significantly below acceptable military standards. Members receiving a service characteriza-

tion of less than an Honorable discharge may find their veteran’s benefits denied either in whole or in part and may face substantial prejudice when applying for civilian employment.

• A senior airman from the 437th Maintenance Squadron was involuntarily discharged for minor disciplinary infractions with an Under Honorable Conditions (General) discharge for failing to be rehabilitated after receiving formal counseling. The reason for discharge was documented by four Letters of Reprimand after being arrested and charged with driving under the influence by civilian authorities; making two false official statements; impersonating a commissioned officer; and failing to go to an appointed place of duty.

• Three staff sergeants from the 628th Security Forces Squadron were involuntarily discharged for unsatisfactory performance due to fitness failure with an Honorable discharge after attempting to rehabilitate them through counseling, education, training, and other adverse administrative actions. The staff sergeants each failed four fitness assessments within 24 months; did not demonstrate significant improvement despite a mandatory conditioning period; and a military health care provider ruled out any medical condition precluding them from achieving a passing score.

AFAF campaign wraps up at JB Charleston

Team Charleston recently wrapped up the Air Force Assistance Fund campaign raising more than $65,000 in contributions made to organizations that directly benefit Airmen and their families.

The AFAF campaign, which ran from March 4, 2013 to April 12, 2013, was established to provide an annual effort to raise funds for the charitable affiliates that provide support to the Air Force family (active duty, retirees, reservists, guard and their dependents, including surviving spouses) in need.

"Although we didn't reach our projected goal of raising $73,409, we surpassed what we reached last year ($49,369)," said 1st Lt. Htein Lin, 628th Communication Squadron Plans and Resources deputy flight commander and

AFAF installation project officer. "We raised $16,000 more than last year's total."

More than 33 unit representatives helped make AFAF a successful campaign at JB Charleston.

"We want to thank all of the contributors and volunteers," said Lin. "If it wasn't for the willingness of our contributors – this year's AFAF wouldn't have been a success. The drive of our volunteers ensured that we made 100 percent contact with everyone in the units."

Some units at JB Charleston far exceeded their share of the installation's goal.

"The 16th Airlift Squadron, 437th Airlift Wing staff, 437th Maintenance Group, 437th Operations Group, 437th Operations Group, 437th Operations Support Squadron, 628th Air Base Wing staff, 628th Contracting Squadron, 628th Force Support Squadron, 628th Medical Group, 628th Medical Operations Squadron,

14th Weather Squadron and the 373rd Training Squadron Detachment 5, not only met their 100 percent contact goal, but exceeded their share of the base's monetary goal by more than 120 percent," said Lin. "However, each and every unit had a part in the base's numbers. Every donation - no matter how big or small went toward a great cause."

AFAF supports the following organizations: the Air Force Enlisted Village, Inc., General and Mrs. Curtis E. Lemay Foundation, Air Force Villages Charitable Foundation, and the Air Force Aid Society.

Camping fire safety tips

By Tech. Sgt. Kenneth Shockley 628th Civil Engineer Squadron

Camping and campfires go hand in hand. It is difficult to imagine camping without building a fire to roast marshmallows and to share ghost stories. However, without proper fire safety your campfire could turn your camping trip into a weekend to remember for all the wrong reasons.

Here are simple rules to follow to help ensure you have a great experience and not a bad one:

Select a safe location for your campfire. Campground managers normally select the safest location to build fires, so most established campgrounds already have fire rings in place. The fire ring contains sparks and prevents your fire from spreading. If your campfire does not have a ring, you will need to select an area to construct your own.

To select an effective fire ring area, find a location that is downwind from your camping area. Ensure your pit is at least five feet away from your tent/trailer and other combustible material. Verify the area is away from trees, brushes, logs, stumps, overhanging branches, dry grass, forest debris and any other flammable/combustible items. If your campsite has an existing fire ring, check to see if it meets the above criteria. The landscape around your campsite could have changed since the fire ring was initially built.

Prepare your campfire area. Once you have chosen where to build your campfire, you need to ensure that the area is completely clear of anything that could ignite. It is best to clear the ground down to the soil within a five foot radius of your fire pit. Surrounding twigs and dry leaves could easily catch fire from a floating spark. Next, dig a shallow pit about two feet across and encircle this pit with a ring of medium sized rocks. These rocks should be placed snuggly together without any gaps where sparks could fly through. Remove any small, loose stones from the pit that could potentially explode from the heat of the fire.

Before you begin building your campfire, make sure you have equipment on hand to extinguish your fire. You will need a large bucket of water and a shovel. Keep these things close enough to your fire pit so they are quickly accessible in case of an emergency. If the ground around your campsite is too hard to shovel, keep a bucket of sand or dirt nearby.

Safely ignite your campfire. Avoid using gasoline, lighter fluid or other chemicals to start your fire. These fuels are dangerous to use in the wilderness. They can unexpectedly flare up and catch your clothing on fire. Instead, use a lighter or match to ignite your kindling. Keep your camp fire small, a bonfire is not necessary and can become dangerous. Resist the temptation and put safety first. A large fire will emit more potentially hazardous sparks. These sparks from a large fire are capable of drifting further away than sparks from a small fire. Also it is more difficult to extinguish a large fire versus a small camp fire.

Maintain a safe campfire. While your campfire is burning, never leave it unattended. Despite other safety precautions, your campfire could spread from your fire pit. You need to be around to ensure your campfire doesn't spread. Be careful of what you burn in your campfire. Try to stick to manageable pieces of firewood that easily fit within your fire pit. You should never burn large logs that stick out past your fire ring area.

Properly extinguish your campfire. Extinguish your campfire prior to going to bed or leaving your campsite. In order to safely extinguish your camp fire, douse the flames by pouring water on the fire. There will still be hot embers that could continue to smolder for hours so stir the coals and add more water. To ensure the fire is completely extinguished, cover the coals with dirt or sand.

Sometimes it's simply not safe to have a campfire. If the forest is too dry and the fire danger is high, there may be a ban on campfires. Respect these bans as they are for your own safety. Strong winds make for dangerous campfire conditions too. So use your best judgment and do what you can to protect yourself and fellow campers.

It is far too easy for a campfire to spread and get out of control. It is your responsibility to protect your campsite and others from your campfire. Follow these simple campfire safety rules in order to ensure everyone has a great camping experience and comes home safe and sound. Please stay fire safe!

What are my options if I have been sexually assaulted?

By Teresa Scalzo Deputy Director, Trial Counsel Assistance Program

If you are the victim of a sexual assault and believe you are in danger, call 911 immediately. If you do not believe that you are currently in danger, you should immediately contact your local sexual assault response coordinator or victim advocate. They can discuss with you the different options you have to report a sexual assault and the resources available to support you. You can also contact the Department of Defense Safe Helpline at 1-877-995-5247 or online, 24-hours per day, seven days a week.

If you desire to pursue an investigation and prosecution, you can immediately report to the sexual assault response coordinator or victim advocate, medical, your command or Naval Criminal Investigative Service; it is important to gather evidence as soon as possible after the crime occurs.

Any witness may also text NCIS if they want to anonymously report a sexual assault by doing the following: 1. Text to 274637 (CRIMES); 2. Type â&#x20AC;&#x153;NCISâ&#x20AC;? at the beginning of your text message; and 3. Type and send your message including as much detail as possible to ensure the tips can effectively be investigated.

You will receive a reply text with an alias code which will be your tipster identity code.

Additionally, if you have a smartphone, you can download the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tip Submitâ&#x20AC;? app.

Because these methods of reporting are anonymous, victims of sexual assault who want their case investigated should contact their sexual assault response coordinator or victim advocate, their command or NCIS to make an unrestricted report.

Reporting Options There are two reporting options for military members and adult dependents: restricted and unrestricted.

Unrestricted reports give you access to the same support services as a restricted report, but they are fully investigated and reviewed for prosecution. Providing an unrestricted report of a sexual assault may seem intimidating; however, the sexual assault response coordinator or victim advocate are there to help victims through the process, and the Navy has implemented numerous policies to ensure victim safety and support. Victims may request an expedited transfer to another command or duty station. Additionally, military protective orders are often issued against the suspect, ordering the suspect to have no further contact with the victim.

Restricted reports are kept confidential. Law enforcement is not notified. An investigation is not initiated. The command is only notified that an assault has occurred with no identifying information about the victim or suspect. You can make a restricted report to the sexual assault response coordinator or victim advocate, or medical. If you make a restricted report, you are still able to receive medical treatment, including a Sexual Assault Forensic Examination, counseling services, victim advocacy support, chaplain support and legal assistance. Note that you can always talk in confidence with a chaplain or legal assistance attorney, but

that is not the same as making a restricted report.

Sexual assault victim advocates are specially trained volunteers who: â&#x20AC;˘ Respond quickly to sexual assault victims â&#x20AC;˘ Provide information and explain reporting options â&#x20AC;˘ Accompany victims during medical, investigative and legal proceedings â&#x20AC;˘ Make referrals for military and community assistance â&#x20AC;˘ Help victims through overwhelming feelings â&#x20AC;˘ Understand the military culture â&#x20AC;˘ Help victims work through barriers and provide support The Investigation If the suspect is in the Navy, the case will most likely be investigated by NCIS, which will conduct a comprehensive investigation, including interviewing the victim and other potential witnesses. NCIS will gather any evidence from the crime scene. When the investigation is complete, NCIS will send the investigation to the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commanding officer for appropriate disposition.

Depending on the offense alleged, the commanding officer will either handle the case at his/her level or forward the investigation up the chain of command to a Sexual Assault Initial Disposition Authority, that is, a Special CourtMartial Convening Authority, which is at least a Navy captain, for disposition. The Sexual Assault Initial Disposition Authority will, after consulting with a judge advocate, determine how the case will be handled.

Help raise awareness by joining the conversation on social media using #SexualAssault and #SAAPM. More information about Navy sexual assault prevention, posters and other tools are posted to Navy Personnel Commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sexual Assault and Prevention website at www.public.navy.mil/ bupers-npc/support/sapr For help and support in dealing with a sexual assault, resources are available through:

Safe Helpline (for service members): â&#x20AC;˘ Visit safehelpline.org to receive live, one-onone confidential help with a trained professionals through a secure instant-messaging format. â&#x20AC;˘ Call 1-877-995-5247 to speak with Safe Helpline staff for personalized advice and support. â&#x20AC;˘ Text your location to 55247 inside the United States or 202-470-5546 outside of the United States to receive automated contact information for the sexual assault response coordinator at your installation or base. A sexual assault victim advocate may be assigned to assist you.

Navy accepting STA-21 applications

Courtesy of Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs

GREAT LAKES, Ill. – The Seaman-to-Admiral commissioning program, which provides an opportunity for qualified Sailors to receive college educations and Navy commissions, is soliciting applications for fiscal year 2014, as announced in NAVADMIN 102/13 April 23.

The deadline for submitting application packages is July 1.

"We are proud of the STA-21 program and the amazing Sailors who receive their commissions through it," said Rear Adm. Dee Mewbourne, commander, Naval Service Training Command. "STA-21 officer candidates and their families benefit from the educational opportunity afforded them at our nation's premier universities. Completing their degree in 36 months, they remain on active duty with full pay and allowances and the Navy pays up to $10,000 per year in support of their tuition, fees and books. STA-21 is truly an investment in Sailors as it shapes our officer corps of the future."

Application packages must be postmarked on or before the July 1 deadline date. Early submission is preferred, as this will allow feedback to the Sailor for submission of missing or illegible documents. The deadline for submission of additional documentation to an applicant's package is August 1.

Before earning their degrees, STA-21 applicants must attend the Naval Science Institute course at Officer Training Command, Naval Station Newport, R.I., prior to beginning college studies at an NROTC-affiliated college or university.

STA-21/NSI is an eight-week course of intense officer preparation and indoctrination. Course enrollment is timed to allow college entrance during summer or fall semesters/quarters after selection.

"I assessed what I could do in my rate as a machinist's mate compared to what I could do as an officer and I felt I could contribute the most to the Navy by joining the officer ranks," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Joseph Page, 21, from Indianapolis. "I thought becoming an officer would maximize my qualities and my potential and that's how I could give the most to the Navy."

Page, who came from Nuclear Prototype School in Charleston, S.C., plans on attending the Citadel Military

To See More Photos & News, Visit www.Charleston.Af.Mil

College in Charleston and then join the Navy's submarine community.

"This has been a great learning experience for me," said Page. I haven't been out in the fleet yet but STA-21 and NSI has been a great place to gather information from those in my class that came from the fleet. I received a lot of valuable input from my classmates and received a feel for what I'll need to do once I get to the fleet as an officer."

Both Page and Petty Officer 3rd Class Brianna Smith, 22, from Erie, Pa., were put in charge of their class of 50 officer candidates.

"It was an amazing opportunity and has been a great experience and will help prepare us for what's to come," said Smith. "You get your college education while learning about leadership roles."

Smith plans on attending North Carolina State University nuclear warfare officer on a ship or submarine out of Naval Station Norfolk, Va. Smith also attended Nuclear Prototype School but in Ballston Spa, N. Y., before attending STA21/NSI in Newport.

The STA-21 program benefits Sailors as well as the Navy.

The average candidate has at least two years and in most cases more than four years of observed performance which assists in the process of selecting the most qualified Sailors to receive a commission.

Additionally, STA-21 candidates are on average older than most midshipmen, bringing a maturity directly reflected in the more than 90 percent completion rate STA-21 program candidates boast. Many Sailors involved in the STA-21 program already have some college credit, and some candidates finish ahead of the three years allotted to earn a degree.

"Students reporting for NSI should expect an intense academic program," said Lt. Jason Gilmore, assistant operations officer and head of this year's STA-21/NSI class. "In eight short weeks they will complete six curriculum modules. It would be real easy for a student to fall behind if they don't arrive ready to hit the books. Our intent at NSI is not only to provide these students with a solid basis in naval science, but to also establish a foundation of good study habits in an intense academic environment as these students adjust from life in the fleet to life at a University. In the STA-21 program,

as it is in many competitive selection processes, it is often a candidate's extra efforts which can result in selection."

Lt. Justin Neff, a division officer and NSI instructor at OTC, called the the STA-21 program "an awesome opportunity for motivated Sailors that are looking to get an education, and advance their career."

Neff, who was in one of the first STA-21 class at OTC Newport in March 2003 and commissioned after graduating from Old Dominion University in May 2006 also said, "One of the best things about STA-21 is that it is your job to go to school. You don't have to worry about pay or housing or standing watches on a ship or sub. You go to school and in three years (or less) you can earn your degree and a commission."

Neff was a Petty Officer 1st Class gas turbine systems (electrical) technician when he applied for STA-21.

"I wanted to get the most out of my Navy career and for me, Seaman-to-Admiral was the best way to go," said Neff. "STA21 has opened the door for a wealth of opportunities for me."

Reporting seniors who feel they have a Sailor with the potential to be selected by STA-21 should comment on their leadership skills and potential in their performance evaluations early in their career. These comments are highly regarded by the boards, even in junior Sailors who's time on board, time in grade or peer ranking will not allow their evaluations to be fully consistent with the comments.

Selectees will be announced by a NAVADMIN in October 2013.

Questions concerning this program should be directed to command career counselors or to the NSTC Officer Development directorate at (850) 452-9563.

Headquartered on Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill., Mewbourne and NSTC oversees 98 percent of initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy. This includes the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps at more than 160 colleges and universities, Officer Training Command on Naval Station Newport, R.I., Recruit Training Command , the Navy's only boot camp, at Great Lakes, Ill., and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps citizenship development programs at more than 600 high schools worldwide.

HOW’S YOUR

Rhythm?

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular and often rapid heart rate. For many with A-fib, it feels like the heart is racing or a fish is flopping in the chest, or it may feel like a fast flutter or drum pounding. Others may not feel any symptoms, but don’t be fooled, A-fib is a serious medical condition. People with A-fib are 500 times more likely to suffer a stroke and also at risk for heart failure.

Fortunately, the Roper St. Francis Heart & Vascular Center offers a variety of treatments to improve and sometimes cure atrial fibrillation, in effect, resetting the heart rhythm.

If your heart is racing or pounding or you feel dizzy, weak or out of breath, see your doctor. The board certified electrophysiologists at Roper St. Francis Heart & Vascular Center have many options to treat A-fib and get you back in rhythm.

To find a Roper St. Francis electrophysiologist, please call (843) 402-CARE.
