Pleasant, S.C. The money and clothing were donated by U.S. Navy commands on Joint Base Charleston during events sponsored by the Weapons Station's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program this past April. April is nationally recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

The SAPR program provides 24-hour support and response to victims of sexual assault in the armed forces and their dependents.

A check in the amount of $5,300 was donated to People Against Rape, the local rape crisis center for the Tri-County area. This money will be used to provide one year of 24-hour hotline phone service, in addition to the Victim Relief Fund which provides direct services to victims of sexual assault. These services include counseling, transportation, security (lock changing) and other resources victims might need.

"We are so excited to be receiving this donation," said Stacey Tunstill, People Against Rape executive director. "This money keeps our hotline running and we're going to be exploring our options in providing taxi service for individuals who need transportation for their follow-on care."

Reservists aid in patient evacuation during multi-agency national disaster exercise Story and photo by Senior Airman Meredith Thomas 315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

INSIDE

Members of the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron led the charge to provide crucial patient evacuation support during a large-scale national disaster exercise held May 14 at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., and in Greenville, S.C. The exercise, under the coordination of the South Carolina Army National Guard, hinged on an earthquake scenario, which resulted in loss of life, injuries, property damage and displaced victims seeking shelter according to Capt. Lee Knoell, 315th AES assistant director of operations and exercise planner for the drill.

"The Reserve role during this exercise was to coordinate patient movement," Knoell said. "The AES was responsible for airlifting the patients and providing medical treatment enroute to the safe location set up by the National Disaster Medical System in the Greenville-Spartanburg area."

The NDMS is an all-encompassing entity that brings together several federal, state and local emergency response organizations in times of crisis and mass casualty. The Air Force plays an integral part in these situations by allowing access to cargo carriers and airborne medical technicians for the evacuation of injured individuals.

The 315th AES Airmen, along with participants from the 315th Aerospace Medicine Squadron and active-duty service members with the 628th Medical Group, worked together to analyze and process roughly 50 simulated patients, all played by cadets from five different South Carolina Civil Air Patrol

squadrons. These patients were evaluated and transported to the flight line from a casualty staging area according to the severity of the injuries indicated on their patient scenario cards. Most of the causalities were made up to look as if they had realistic injuries.

Ambulatory patients rode regular passenger buses, while those that required litter transport were transferred to either an ambulance bus - a large military bus that can be configured to hold patients on litters - or a dual use vehicle specially designed by the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston to interface with cargo planes like the C-17 Globemaster IIIs utilized at JB Charleston.

Transporting the patients carefully and efficiently was of the utmost importance according to Maj. David Ferguson, 315th AES flight Maj.

The heritage of the military in Charleston is amazing; from With the ever-growing use of smart phones, tablets and the "H. L.

Supervising: It’s a really tough job

By Lt. Col. Adam DiGerolamo 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, commanding officer

Being a supervisor is a tough job and an awesome responsibility. Good supervisors are critical to any organization's success, yet it is often a thankless job, in most cases. What does a supervisor do exactly? I recently asked some people what their ideas were. Some replies: a taskmaster; an enforcer of the rules; someone who holds people accountable; someone who is demanding, consistent and fair; a peacemaker; a goal setter; someone who sets the example and can "walk the walk."

While I agree with most of these qualities, I tend to have a broader approach on the subject.

Here are some attributes of supervisors that I think are important, that I have gleaned from my 18 plus years of being supervised.

A good supervisor, in my opinion, needs to focus on the "good." I've seen some supervisors who focus on the bad too much. They walk around documenting every failure, every mistake and perceived misstep. It's as if they were getting paid more for each mistake they find.

I once asked a supervisor why they did that.

"How can I differentiate the good workers from the great workers if I don't document all of the mistakes?" was the answer. My retort was simple.

Give your people the encouragement, the tools, the opportunities and the mentoring they need so they will have all the opportunity to succeed.

When one focuses on the bad all the time, you tend to get what you focus on. If you don't like what you see, change your focus ... to the good stuff! Focus on things that tell your workers "you can," not things that send a message of "you can't."

Ken Blanchard in the "One-Minute Manager" says it well; "The key to developing people is to catch them doing something right." I also feel that a good supervisor must continually strive to find ways to help all of their people succeed, not just a chosen few. Focusing on the good is a great start.

Knowing the plans, dreams, goals and aspirations of those who work for you are required to help you work toward their successes. Is one of them up for promotion soon? Does someone have a goal to be an instructor or cross train into another AFSC? If you know these types of things, you can make sure you are giving them the jobs, training, additional duties and experiences that can help them realize their dreams.

A good supervisor must also be patient.

Perfection does not occur overnight, but mistakes will. A good supervisor must allow honest mistakes. If all missteps are documented and dealt with in a negative way, the word will get out quickly that mistakes are not allowed. Workers will tend to protect themselves and others by not admitting their mistakes. Improvements cannot occur if problems are hidden. If each one of us had all of our mistakes and shortcomings addressed and dealt with, none of us would still be around to do any work! Don't create a workplace where workers are afraid to admit mistakes.

A good supervisor must never belittle or allow

others to belittle another cosevere restrictions on who, what and worker. This is obvious, isn't when workers can discuss issues are, it? Yet, I've seen it happen far in my opinion, a little insecure. I've too often. Don't let it happen in never seen a fair, confident, wellyour workplace without respected supervisor restrict open disaddressing it ... immediately. cussions.

It's just one way of treating Finally, the ultimate goal of a everyone with respect. Another good supervisor should be to create way to think about it (and most an environment where people want of us have heard it time and to come to work, feel good about time again), "praise in public, their workplace and themselves, and criticize in private." I'll add one feel like they are making a contribumore rule: never yell. tion. How can this possibly be I strongly feel that a good achieved? A great start would be to Lt. Col.

Communication is so patient and allow honest mistakes, important. It's the key to any hope of solving a treat them with respect, never yell, and allow an problem or making improvements. It must not only atmosphere of open communication. After all of be allowed, but encouraged. Supervisors who place that, you may just succeed!

had been stood up by the NDMS. Two flight nurses and four medical technicians accompanied the patients on the plane and completed training tasks by providing emergency care while in flight.

In addition, the loadmasters aboard the plane played a major part in keeping patients and passengers informed and safe during the trip.

"We basically just see to it that the aeromedical staff has everything they need to complete their mission," said Master Sgt. Michael O'Brien, Jr., 701st Airlift Squadron loadmaster. "We help coordinate the configuration of the plane depending on the needs of the patients and provide the necessary oxygen and electricity requirements for the medical equipment. We also keep track of all the passengers on board and ensure that everyone is following proper safety protocol."

Once on the ground in Greenville, patients were offloaded from the C-17, again under the direction of Ferguson and the AES crew. Local emergency response teams wheeled the litter-bound patients from the plane to the tented emergency care area using unique "rickshaw" carriers.

From there, the patients were immediately processed to be seen at local hospitals with the help of active-duty Soldiers from Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina. The Soldiers arrived on scene early to ensure that the proper systems were already set up and waiting for the arrival of the cargo plane full of casualties. According to Ferguson, this was instrumental in providing rapid patient care and accountability.

"This is such an incredible exercise because it gets the Reserve and active duty of different branches working together, along with state emergency agencies, the Civil Air Patrol, local hospitals and the VA," said Ferguson.

er more efficiently when a real disaster occurs."

The exercise offered valuable training insight for the flight crew as well, according to Lt. Col. Mark Jeffrey, 701st AS aircraft commander for the mission.

"The details were a little foggy in the beginning, which is likely how it would be in a real disaster situation," Jeffrey said. "Things were a little bit hectic but that makes for good practice. During an evacuation you could be told that you are transporting 60 patients and 100 could show up. You have to be flexible and willing to adapt."

And Knoell agrees. He said this exercise was a great opportunity to bring all the agencies together for a chance to practice their piece of the emergency evacuation puzzle.

"The first time I participated in one of these exercises, it made me feel really good," Knoell said. "It was reassuring to see multiple governmental agencies coming together under one umbrella to provide care and assistance during a time of crisis. We took the lead in the preplanning stages to spearhead this event and it turned out to be an excellent training opportunity for all involved."

Navy command donates Continued from Page 1

Another donation in the amount of $1,000 was donated to the Medical University of South Carolina Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner department to provide hot meals to victims after their forensic exam. In addition to monetary support, 300 items of new clothing were purchased and will be donated to MUSC to provide replacement clothing after a victim's sexual assault forensic exam.

Upon accepting the donation, Janet Ward, MUSC Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner said, "You have no idea what this means to us. When victims come to MUSC after an assault, we take everything ... all their clothes ... everything. Letting these victims pick out brand new clothing to go home in ... it makes such a big difference."

"I can't thank the Victims Advocates and service members on the Weapons Station enough for donating so much of their time to make this program such a success," Tiffany Mizzell said.

"Their contributions allowed us to support agencies within our community who provide free services to not only civilians but to active-duty service members as well."

For more information on the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, contact Tiffany Mizzell at 843-794-7428.

Recover money for your unit today From the 628th Staff Judge Advocate

It is Air Force policy to aggressively pursue and recover Air Force losses (property damage claims) caused by nonmembers. A claim is pursued against a responsible party (individual or business) who causes damage to installation property. Supervisors have a responsibility to discover and report potential claims to the Legal Office to affect a proper recovery.

(AFI 51-502, Personnel and Government Recovery Claims, paragraph 4.1).

The Legal Office needs your help to make this program successful. While we typically receive notification of damaged property from Security Forces, we cannot identify every responsible party who damages installation property. If you see an accident with damage to Air Force property, contact the Civil Law Division at the Legal Office. A detailed description with identifying data such as a license tag or other relevant data is extremely helpful.

By sharing this information, you can help the Air Force obtain recovery for these losses. Your efforts will ensure the responsible party pays for Air Force property damage or the responsible party repairs the damage caused to Air Force property, saving unnecessary expenses to our operations allowing the installation to further the mission.

In this era of declining budgets, identifying potential claims and recovering monies, related to damaged Air Force property is vital to installation success. The Civil Law Division claims personnel, will investigate, research and assert every viable claim. All you need to do is to notify us when you see damage to Air Force property.

The Legal Office contacts are Capt. Mark Steitz and Airman 1st Class Kendra Menefee. They can be contacted in the legal office at commercial: 963-5502 or DSN: 673-5502.

The life of a pilot ... in upgrade By 1st Lt. Jason Gossett 15th Airlift Squadron

& fe Sa

Lo vin gA tten tion

Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma ... the place where all C-17 pilots go to better their skills and grow in their knowledge of employing the Air Force's premier heavy airlift/airdrop platform.

Throughout various times in a C-17 pilot's career they will return to Altus for a number of upgrades to include Pilot Initial Qualification, Co-Pilot Air Drop, Pilot Checkout, Aircraft Commander Air Drop and Instructor Aircraft Commander.

For this particular article, PCO will be discussed in detail.

PCO is the course used to transform a C-17 co-pilot into an aircraft commander. Before leaving Joint Base Charleston for PCO, a C-17 pilot must meet a number of prerequisites/qualifications to be eligible to obtain a slot for upgrade.

First, they must have obtained at least 700 hours of flight time in the C-17 and at least 1,000 hours of total flight time.

In addition, they must be able to fly at a minimum, three local training sorties at Charleston to include air refueling, assault landings and low level flight.

Once pilots have obtained a coveted slot and accomplished their prerequisites with endorsement from their instructors, they go to Altus AFB for about four weeks of training. Here they begin hours of computer based training modules to gain deeper knowledge of systems, procedures and overall aircraft commander leadership. They then accomplish two simulator sorties focusing on air refueling from the left seat in preparation for the flights in the jet.

Upon completion of the sims, pilots hit the flightline to include approximately six flights lasting around six hours each.

Apart from each flight, the pilots and their crew spend an entire day prior to each flight meticulously mission planning for air refueling, assault landings, patterns and low level flight.

The first two flights are day flights followed by a night vision goggle pattern only sortie, and two night air refueling sorties. After successful completion of all of these sorties, the pilot is recommended by the instructor pilots to progress to their checkride, which includes a combination of all previous events in the jet during the day. If they pass this flight, their

time at Altus is over, but their path to becoming a certified aircraft commander is just getting started. They have proven they can fly the jet and now they have to safely operate the C17 and its crew all across the world on various missions.

When the pilot returns to their squadron, they have to fly three overseas missions to complete their upgrade. The first is called the "Buddy" ride and is a practice ride with another aircraft commander. On this mission the pilot practices running the show.

The pilot then heads to their recommend ride or "rec ride" with an instructor. This ride involves very little interaction from the instructor to see if the pilot can safely and successfully operate the mission and manage the crew. If the instructor sees the pilot as ready, they head to their operational mission evaluation with an evaluator. Throughout this mission they are being evaluated on safety, aircraft knowledge, overall flying knowledge, mission/crew management and successful completion.

If the pilot passes, they are ready to obtain the title of aircraft commander and go to their certification or "cert" board to finish the process. It takes hours of study, hours of flight time, hours of instruction, and hours of overall employment of the C-17. However, the end result is a highly qualified C-17 aircraft commander who is ready at a moment's notice to accomplish any type of mission the C-17 is called upon. This process is what creates some of the best pilots in the world who fly for our United States Air Force, protecting our freedom and our skies.

315th ALCF gets top AFRC award

By Staff Sgt. Rashard Coaxum 315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The 315th Airlift Control Flight recently brought home top honors this year by winning the award for Air Force Reserve Command Airlift Control Flight of the Year.

The award, presented by Lt. Gordy Griggs, signified top performance among ALCF's and hard work and dedication to the ALCF mission, Griggs said.

"We [ALCF's] build partnerships," Griggs said. "We are at the tip of the spear with building partnerships with non-Department of Defense partners like FEMA, the FBI and so many others because it's what we do, and we do it very well."

Griggs, Air Force Reserve Command readiness and programs chief, presented the award to Lt. Col. Lamar Thigpen, 315th ALCF commander, who received it on behalf of the unit.

After receiving the award for the unit Thigpen praised the work of the airmen who worked beside him to make the award possible.

"The Swampfoxes are the best in the business," he said. "We know that they're good and now we have [AFRC] headquarters recognition to show they're good."

"I'm accepting on their behalf, but it's these guys [airmen] who really did the work," Thigpen said. "The credit really goes to the Swampfoxes."

Have medical questions? Call the TRICARE Nurse Advice Line

From Naval Health Clinic Charleston Public Affairs

Sometimes it is difficult to know if and when to seek medical help for acute health problems, so having professional help at a moment's notice is invaluable. The Military Health System's new Nurse Advice Line for TRICARE beneficiaries does just that.

Beginning May 30, 2014, all TRICARE beneficiaries can call the NAL toll-free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"Many of our enrolled patients are familiar with the Care Net advice line that has been available at Naval Health Clinic Charleston," said Capt. Debra Carter, Naval Health Clinic Medical Home Port department head. "The previous nursing advice line was only available after clinic hours and on weekends. The new Nurse Advice Line will have registered nurses available 24/7, which is an increased benefit for our patients and all TRICARE beneficiaries."

The NAL is a team of registered nurses who are available to answer a variety of urgent healthcare questions. They can help you decide whether self-care is the best option, or if it is better to see a healthcare provider. There will always be a live-person on the line to address beneficiary concerns.

The NAL offers a variety of solutions for all TRICARE beneficiaries.

Beneficiaries with an acute health care concern or question will be connected with a registered nurse that will ask the beneficiary a series of very standard questions to determine the next steps and allow the NAL nurse to provide the best advice possible.

The NAL will make same-day appointments with the beneficiary's primary care manager for TRICARE Prime beneficiaries who are enrolled in Military Treatment Facilities. If a same day appointment is not available, the NAL will re-direct the beneficiary to the closest urgent care center and advise the PCM that an urgent care referral is needed so the patient does not have to worry about paying any point of service co-pays.

For pediatric issues, the NAL will route the beneficiary to a pediatric nurse. If follow-up is necessary or requested, the NAL will call the beneficiary back to check the child's status a few hours later.

SOME HONORS AREN’T WORN

ON YOUR CHEST

All other TRICARE beneficiaries who are not enrolled to a MTF will receive professional health advice about their urgent health concern and when to seek urgent care.

To access the NAL, once it launches May 30, dial 1-800-TRICARE (874-2273); Option 1.

When calling the NAL, a customer service representative will verify the beneficiary's eligibility through the Defense Enrollment and Eligibility Reporting System. Beneficiaries can still call their PCM or clinic, but the NAL is another option for beneficiaries to access the care they need and want in a timely fashion.

Joint Base Charleston kids get moving with America’s Armed Forces Kids Run

By Jessica Donnelly 628 Force Support Squadron Marketing

The Joint Base Charleston Youth Programs hosted the annual America’s Armed Forces Kids Run May 16, at the Air Base youth center in conjunction with recognition of Armed Forces Day May 17.

The run takes place every year at military installations around the world as a way to get military family members active and excited about running. Approximately 50 children came out for the run with 5 to 6 year olds running half a mile, 7 to 8 year olds running one mile and 9 to 13 year olds running two miles.

“This is a great way to get my kids into fitness and a healthy life,” said Staff Sgt. Brenda Bodner, 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron logistics specialist. “It’s something fun for the

kids to do, as well as something we can do as a family.”

Bodner explained this is the first Armed Forces Kids Run her children, ages 8 and 5, have participated in, but she likes to keep them active.

“They go to the gym with me and after I work out we do push-ups and sit-ups together,” added Bodner.

Shannon Norris, Youth Programs director, explained this free, yearly event has been a success with about the same number of children participating each time. As an incentive for the children to participate, they also get to take home a race t-shirt for signing up for the run.

For more information about the America’s Armed Forces Kids Run, check out their website: americaskidsrun.org

Commissaries offer tips for selecting quality produce

From DECA public affairs

FORT LEE, VA – Warm weather offers shoppers a vast assortment of colorful, fresh fruits and vegetables, and the commissary has a few tips to help pick some of the more popular spring-summer produce items.

"It's been a plentiful year for many items ranging from asparagus to strawberries, so now's a good time to highlight what to look for when selecting them, said Bridget Bennett, the Defense Commissary Agency's produce category manager.

• Asparagus: Look for smooth skin, bright green color, compact heads and freshly cut ends. Look for asparagus that is as green (or purple or white in the case of purple or white

varieties) as possible to up your chances of biting into tender spears.

• Cherries: Sweet cherries, including the popular Bing and Rainer varieties, are available from May to August. Sour cherries have a much shorter season and can be found for a week or two in the middle of June in warmer areas and as late as July and August in the colder regions. If possible, taste the cherries before you buy them. Sweetness varies farm to farm and week to week. Always look for shiny, plump cherries with fresh, green stems and dark coloring for the variety.

• Grapefruit: Grapefruit is at its best in late winter through early summer. As with all citrus, choose fruits that are heavy for their size.

• New potatoes: New potatoes are freshly

harvested young or small potatoes. They have paper-thin skins and lots of moisture inside, and they tend to be sweeter than older potatoes. New potatoes are pure perfection in potato salad or simply boiled with a bit of butter and a few chopped herbs. Look for new potatoes in the spring and early summer.

• Peas: Fresh green peas - straight off the vine and right out of the pod - are a fabulous feature of spring and early summer eating.

• Radishes: Radishes are available year round, but in temperate climates their natural season is spring and summer - that is when they are at their sweetest and best.

Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in spring and early summer. Perfectly ripe strawberries are best eaten out of hand, but

they also make great additions to salads and plenty of desserts. Choose brightly colored, dry, firm, shiny, plump berries that still have fresh-looking green caps attached. Avoid soft, dull-looking or shriveled berries. Since strawberries do not ripen after being picked, avoid berries that are partly white or otherwise unripe. It may seem obvious to say, but strawberries should smell like strawberries. Take a whiff before you buy.

"Knowing what to look for when shopping for produce is very important, especially for people who may be interested in trying something for the first time," said Bennett. "Our produce associates are always glad to answer any questions customers may have about how to choose."

Scholarship program helps students pay for college

By Kevin Robinson DeCA Public Affairs specialist

FORT LEE, VA – Six hundred children from the military community are receiving about $1.2 million in financial assistance thanks to this year's Scholarships for Military Children program.

Since its start in 2001, the Scholarships for Military Children program has awarded about $14.5 million in scholarships to more than 8,000 children of active duty, Guard and Reserve and retired service members worldwide. This year, the scholarship amount per recipient increased from $1,500 to $2,000.

The Defense Commissary Agency participates in the program by accepting applications from eligible children and

submitting their packages to Scholarship Managers, a national, nonprofit, scholarship management services organization.

DeCA Director and CEO Joseph Jeu thanked the agency's industry partners who help bolster the scholarship program with their corporate donations, at the 2014 Commissary Roundtable event on May 1 in Richmond, Va. "You've always put your best foot forward when taking care of military families," Jeu said to an audience of commissary employees and industry members. "Scholarships [for Military Children] are one of those examples of supporting military families. ... I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support."

Commissary vendors, manufacturers, brokers, suppliers and the general public fund the program through donations.

And, all donations are applied solely to funding the scholar-

ships, said Jim Weiskopf, vice president of Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization that assists family members with temporary lodging when they visit hospitalized service members. The Fisher House Foundation sponsors the administration of the scholarships program. "[The scholarship] is an investment in education; it is an investment in military quality of life; it is an investment in our future," Weiskopf said during the scholarship luncheon at the Commissary Roundtable.

During the selection process, Scholarship Managers reviews the applicants' grade-point averages, their extracurricular and volunteer activities, and their essays. To see winners of the 2014 Scholarships for Military Children program, go to http://www.militaryscholar. org/sfmc/winners14.html.

AFOSI helps those traveling abroad via AF Portal

By Special Agent Michael White Air Force Office of Special Investigations, 2nd Field Investigations Region

LANGLEY AFB, VA. – As foreign travel increases within the DOD community, the risk of foreign intelligence targeting also increases. You can be the target of a foreign intelligence or security service at any time and any place; however, the possibility of becoming the target of foreign intelligence activities is greater when you travel overseas. The foreign intelligence services have better access to you, and their actions are not restricted within their own country's borders.

Understanding this, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations has streamlined the foreign travel briefing program to better serve active-duty Air Force members and Department of the Air Force civilian employees. These programs include foreign travel pre-brief and foreign travel debrief surveys and a streamlined process in reporting your foreign travel and obtaining an AFOSI foreign travel briefing.

Personnel who travel to overseas locations shall receive foreign intelligence threat briefings and anti-terrorism briefings from AFOSI prior to their departure.

"Previously, organizations at individual installations would monitor, report and produce internal guidance on foreign travel and complete briefings for those personnel traveling abroad," said Special Agent Peter Van Damme. "As we communicated with those units, it was apparent the process was not designed to deal with the amount of foreign travel conducted by base personnel. Since AFOSI is chartered to provide foreign travel pre/de-brief services to protect service members, Air Force technology and DOD assets, we decided to develop a better process."

AFOSI collaborated with Headquarters Air Force to develop a web-based interface accessible through the Air Force Portal. Joint efforts resulted in an unclassified foreign travel pre-brief slide presentation; unclassified pre-brief survey; unclassified de-brief survey, and the AFOSI Foreign Travel Guide that can be easily accessed through the Air Force Portal. In addition, it provides access to key websites in support of your travel.

Members are required to complete a foreign travel prebrief survey any time they travel abroad and should include each country they intend to visit. Threats to USAF personnel are ever-changing and utilizing the pre-brief and debrief survey allows AFOSI to review the data and determine the most appropriate forum for a briefing given current threat postures regarding specific travel destinations.

"The surveys are vital in protecting Air Force personnel and resources and it is extremely important that these surveys are completed each time you travel abroad," said Van Damme. "Exceptions may apply. An example would be if you have multiple overseas travels in a short time frame,

Balfour Beatty Communities to kick-off 2014 housing survey From Balfour Beatty Communities

At Balfour Beatty Communities, our primary goal is to provide quality housing and customer service so our residents have a positive and enjoyable experience living with us. In a few weeks, residents will be invited to give feedback on Balfour Beatty Communities' operations through our CEL Resident Satisfaction Survey. The annual survey is an important part of our continuous improvement program that helps us analyze performance and make any necessary changes and enhancements to ensure we consistently deliver quality service across all aspects of our community operations.

Topics covered in the survey include resident experience with leasing, community management, maintenance and quality of the homes. All surveys are completely confidential and anonymous and residents are encouraged to provide open and honest insights.

"The Resident Satisfaction Survey allows us to see where we are excelling operationally and where there is room for improvement," said Patti Stanley, BBC community manager. "We encourage all residents to complete the survey so that we may better meet their needs as well as those of our future residents."

Surveys will be available at the Water Park Wonderland scheduled for May 31, at the Community Center. If you are unable to attend the event, stop by the Community Management Office to pick up a survey or call us at 797-5631 and we will deliver one to your residence.

Completed surveys should be sealed in the postage paid envelope provided and either mailed or returned to the authorized locked mailbox located at the Balfour Beatty Communities Management Office. Residents who submit a completed survey by June 30, 2014, will be entered to win a prize. Residents handing in a survey before June 20, 2014, will also qualify for a special Early Bird prize drawing.

The final day for residents to submit their completed Resident Satisfaction Survey is June 30, 2014.

Thank you in advance to all residents for their participation in the survey process - we look forward to receiving your feedback.

then you could include all locations into one pre and post survey."

This survey program was developed with the safety of the Air Force member/employee in mind, military and civilian, as well as protecting Air Force technology and resources. The first step in successfully defending against a threat is to understand the threat(s). These surveys are a first step in allowing AFOSI to effectively and efficiently ensure personnel are properly briefed based upon current threat postures.

Please contact your local AFOSI office with any questions/concerns you may have concerning the foreign travel briefing program. The new foreign travel program can be found on the ACC website http://www.acc.af.mil/index.asp or the Air Force Portal at, https://www. my.af.mil by typing in "foreign travel" within the search filed to locate the webpage.
