628th SFS remembers one of their own Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Ashlee Galloway Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

A military working dog was laid to rest during a Memorial Service June 6, 2012 at the Joint Base Charleston - Air Base Theater.

Waldo, an 11-year old German shepherd and military working dog assigned to the 628th Security Forces Squadron, recently died from an illness.

"The service today was nice, but it is always hard to put your best friend to rest, and Waldo was my best friend," said Staff Sgt. Brandon Edwards, 628th SFS military working dog handler. "Waldo always had a laid back attitude about him and loved to have fun, I really think he would have enjoyed this."

After he completed training to become a fully certified drug detector/patrol dog at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, he then arrived at JB Charleston in May 2003.

During his career, Waldo completed more than 2, 300 hours of searches and 425 hours of detection training. He also conducted more than 225 demonstrations for the local community and annually visited schools during Red Ribbon Week to raise drug awareness.

Waldo also deployed twice in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

After the ceremony, Waldo's cremated remains were laid to rest near the 628th SFS dog kennels. He will never be forgotten.

Staff Sgt. Brandon Edwards, 628th Security Forces dog handler, lays Waldo to rest at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, S.C. June 6, 2012. Waldo, a military working dog, was assigned to the 628th Security Forces Squadron and served most of his career here. He was deployed twice to Afghanistan. During his career, Waldo conducted 2,304 hours of searches and completed 425 hours of detection training, leading to safer communities.

June 15, 2012 will be a special day for the 437th Airlift Wing and Joint Base Charleston.

Bldg. 108, the C-17 Aircrew Training Center, located on the corner of East Hill Boulevard and Bates Street, will be dedicated after one of our finest mobility legends; (ret.) Col. Gail Halvorsen during a ceremony at 8 a.m.

The Halvorsen C-17 Aircrew Training Center will be a timeless reminder of the contributions that Halvorsen made and continues to make on a global scale.

During his 1948 assignment supporting the Berlin Airlift otherwise known as Operation Vittles, Lt. Halvorsen instituted Operation "Little" Vittles by dropping small parachutes laden with candy to the children of Berlin after learning of their plight. Lt. Halverson's self-ini-

tiated act of kindness became the humanitarian heart that motivated aircrews and fueled hope for over two million Berliners.

Furthermore, it coalesced America's support for the operation and proved to be the tipping point for a hearts and minds campaign that eventually countered Soviet desires to dominate Berlin and the region.

The Airmen of Team Charleston's Total Force Team, the 437th Airlift Wing, 628th Air Base Wing and the 315th Airlift Wing proudly serve on the front line of our nation's defense by providing Hope's Global Reach in all core mobility missions.

Superbly trained and ready to answer the call, Team Charleston is the backbone of our nation's ability to respond anytime, anywhere; delivering hope to nameless victims in every corner of the globe via airlift, airdrop and special operations.

Just as Lt. Halvorsen's signature wing rock and

candy-laden 'parachutes' gave hope to a city under siege, a glimpse of Charleston's distinctive C-17 tail flash provides hope today to warfighters, displaced civilians, and victims of natural disaster Colonel Halvorsen's simple acts of kindness answered the call of an entire city in its darkest hour and established a legacy of selfless service.

This is the very same sense of "service before self" that has become a core value for Mobility Airmen across the Air Force. His acts also helped prove the strategic value of airlift as a national military capability. The Halvorsen C-17 Aircrew Training Center will distinctly memorialize the contributions that Col. Gail S. Halvorsen made to our Air Force and the nation, and will forever ground today's Airmen to our proud airlift legacy.

COMMENTARY

Commentary by Maj. Reid Wynans 628th Air Base Wing Command Post chief

FACT: A major emergency will befall the Lowcountry - it's only a matter of time. In just the last decade, the Charleston area has already stared down 16 tropical depressions, storms and hurricanes. What's less evident is how well we at Joint Base Charleston will react to a major emergency when it does occur.

With that in mind, JB Charleston leadership authorized the insightful purchase of a truly state-of-the-art mass-warning notification system that maintains the potential to reach out and touch every single member of our total force joint family, military and civilian alike, throughout the Lowcountry and beyond.

At a moment's notice, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, a 628th Air Base Wing Command Post controller can notify every single member of JB Charleston with the touch of a button ... literally! This technology-leveraging marvel calls itself AtHoc, which consists of four elements: Giant Voice for outdoor areas; Indoor Voice for indoor facilities (projected capability); Telephone Alerting System for phone calls or text alerts; and Software-Alert Systems for e-mail and 'pop-up' alerts. However, for all of its revolutionary capabilities, AtHoc suffers from one critical weak link - you and me. AtHoc can only use the contact information that the member - that's you and I manually inputs into its confidential database.

While the system automatically creates a member's profile courtesy of our Internet Protocol Addresses, it cannot access our home phone, cell phone, or home e-mail address unless we update this vital information by clicking on the small purple globe icon located in the lower right section of your work's computer screen. From there, select "Access Self Service" and update the applicable information within the "My Info" and "Devices" tabs. If you're a slow typer and clicker like me, it may take you up to three minutes to accomplish. Three minutes drives a pretty good return on investment for the priceless capability to receive a timely warning regarding a threatening storm or other critically important update while you're off duty. Ultimately, JB

Charleston's leadership aims to notify all of Team Charleston's members and their families during times of emergencies that require urgent attention, using multiple channels, to accelerate our threat response within 10 minutes of giving the order.

To add motivating fuel to the fire, Col. Richard McComb, JB Charleston commander, issued a directive Jan. 5, 2012 which mandates all personnel assigned to JB Charleston must complete this task by entering at least their work and home phone number. If you're "lucky" enough to warrant a government cell phone, enter that number too.

Through painful learning experiences that hardly need introductions 9/11, Katrina, Hugo, Ft. Hood, Deepwater Horizon, Columbine, Virginia Tech, Joplin, etc. - the federal government and, by extension, the Department of Defense understand that a properly and efficiently coordinated prompt response to an existing or impending disaster is absolutely paramount to successfully preventing and mitigating damage. The dedicated professionals at the 628th Civil Engineer Emergency Management flight, the 628th Air Base Wing Command Post and the 437th Operations Support Squadron Weather flight have already made great strides in preparing our joint base as a National Weather Service - certified "Storm Ready." However, emergencies ram headlong into our peaceful daily routine in manners that extend far beyond nature's wrath so we must stand ready for all contingencies. AtHoc accounts for this.

Hopefully, we will never get the opportunity to put our emergency response procedures to the test, but to anyone who keeps up on current events, that's just not reality. So, in the meantime, while we wait ... do the responsible thing for yourself and your family and use the next three minutes of your life to register right now for AtHoc. Don't be the weak link.

For existing AtHoc-related questions, contact 628abw.athoc.help@us.af.mil.

(Some 315th Airlift Wing and Naval Weapons Station personnel are not currently enrolled in the JB Charleston AtHoc system, but are expected to be fully linked in within the coming months.)

Make it a high-five day!

Commentary by Chief Master Sgt. Gigi Manning 315th Airlift Wing command chief

Every day while listening to the news or radio, I hear how the world is changing and not necessarily for the better. Listening to these messages, I wonder what our country and the world will be like in the next 20 years or so. I think about my life and how it will be affected by these changes that are occurring. Next, I consider what I'm doing on a daily basis to try and make things better in my own way. Some days I give myself a high-five and others, not so much.

As military men and women, we are fortunate to live in and serve the best nation in the world. It's not perfect by any means, but the freedoms and

opportunities we have are because of those that have gone before us. Our actions today are a direct reflection on the honor that has been bestowed on our armed forces. Each of us, when seen by the general public, is regarded as someone special and deserving of respect. By the same token, anything that one of us does negatively is a direct reflection on the armed forces. By the actions of one member, the entire force gets scrutinized and painted with a broad brush. No squadron wants to be known for the most cases of driving under the influence, Wing for the most suicides, armed service for inhumane treatment of people, or a nation that can't take care of its people. Each one of us makes up all of these things though.

So what have you done today to make your world a better place? Is it a high-five day or a not-so-much?

Diamond Tip: Take ownership Commentary by Master Sgt. Eric Brown 628th Medical Group first sergeant

While assigned to my first duty station, my trainer and first supervisor, Staff Sgt. Harry Reese, would always give me a regulation to read whenever I was not training.

Reese made me read the regulations cover to cover and quizzed me on information not found in my career-development courseware. Over time, it became habit to read Air Force Instructions that didn't pertain to my job. I became an expert in my

job and educated in various other programs. Many times I've identified the correct way of doing a task by referencing it to an instruction versus "that's the way we always done it" method.

As I progressed in rank and became a trainer, I also employed the same method of teaching. I trained Airmen to know their way around the myriad of instructions, technical orders and they learned not to revert to a "let me ask someone" behavior. I trained them to be experts in their job.

I trained them to be professional Airmen. They learned to take ownership in their processes.

Each day, I approach individuals and correct them on dress and appearance standards. Did I miss the part in AFI 36-2903 that says you don't have to wear a cover when you are off base? Or did I recall reading the little blue book that said "do what's right when no one is looking?" Take ownership in your job, take ownership in our Air Force ... be a professional Airman at all times.

Thank you retired Master Sgt. Reese for making me be a better professional Airman!

Diamond Tip: Engineering success Commentary by Master Sgt. Jason Soule 15th Airlift Squadron first sergeant

At some point, every Airman will need to accept the fact that they are no longer the new person in the Air Force. If you are reading this, then you have been in the Air Force long enough to make that change and can provide vital information to new people that arrive to your unit.

It is important for supervisors to ensure the first impression of Joint Base Charleston is the best possible. A part of that includes eliminating distractions for the new inbound. Questionnaires and forms should have been mailed out in advance to eliminate distractions from the real purpose of the first day on the job which is, getting to know everyone and their way around the office. It will be important for a training buddy to be assigned and for that training buddy to be fully prepared for the responsibility. This person will need to explain everything from working hours to where various base facilities are located. The training buddy will need to place emphasis on the concept of courageous networking as this is a skill that will expedite the time for the new Airmen to achieve full proficiency.

Courageous networking means not being afraid to admit when you need

help or have a question. People that are quick to seek assistance from their peers will become proficient quicker. Additionally, it is important for the new Airman to achieve success quickly and to not make any mistakes.

Therefore, the buddy will be there to ensure that the new person is successful. This process of mentoring should continue throughout the person's career and modified to ensure continual growth.

Next, a training or development plan will need to be established. A development plan is the best way for everyone to understand individual strengths and weaknesses. When people can see a career path for them to follow and feel supported from their new team, they will feel valued. It is important for leadership to keep everyone informed of expectations as well as specific measures of performance to enable individuals to track their progress.

Finally, the follow-up is just as important to a new Airman's success as the initial meet and greet. Routine status of training meetings will need to take place to ensure continued progress and eliminate potential problems. The goal is to create a cohesive work environment where people constantly network. The result will be quicker upgrades in proficiency, job satisfaction and improved retention.

Lt. Gen. Mark Ramsay, 18th Air Force commander, visited Joint Base Charleston, S.C., June 3 and 4 to get a firsthand look at the daily operations of the 437th Airlift Wing and its mission partners, as well as to speak to wing Airmen during an ‘All Call’.

During the All Call, which took place in the base theater, Ramsay discussed topics such as force shaping, budget cuts, education, the responsible use of social media and ongoing operations in Southwest Asia. He also reminded Airmen of their importance to the success of the Air Force mission and thanked them for what they bring to the fight.

“Thank you,” said Ramsay. “Your jobs are not easy. However, you make them look that way. Joint Base Charleston has remarkable facilities and truly astounding Airmen that expertly carry out the mission and have innovation, enthusiasm and dedication while doing it.”

Ramsay said the motivation of young Airmen, like the ones he met at JB Charleston, inspires him in the difficult task of leading the Air Force’s largest Numbered Air Force.

One of the main issues on the minds of Airmen at the All Call was how Ramsay saw the future of the Air Force in light of current uncertainties. The general noted that by restructuring the force along the lines outlined in the new Defense Strategic Guidance, the overall capabilities of the Air Force would remain mission ready even with less capacity.

3

He also encouraged Airmen to take advantage of the resources currently available to enhance their value to the Air Force.

“Throughout Air Force history, we’ve experienced multiple changes in strategy or resources,” said Ramsay. “I encourage all Airmen to overwhelm the education office and take advantage of all the educational opportunities we currently offer, deepen yourselves mentally by reading more often and give everything you can to your job within the Air Force.”

Another topic addressed by Ramsay was the power of social networking and the need for Airmen to use it responsibly.

“I think all Airmen are amazing at what they do and I encourage them to share their Air Force story with the world,” said Ramsay.

“However, think before posting an internet blog. Once you hit send, it’s out there, for anyone to read, forever. Airmen wouldn’t go to political events and endorse candidates in uniform, so doing so online isn’t different.”

As 18th Air Force commander, Ramsay is in charge of a worldwide operational mission, with responsibility of more than 39,000 active-duty Airmen, Reservists and civilians.

In addition, he oversees the operations of approximately 1,300 airlift and air-refueling aircraft. But even with the scope of that responsibility, he was quick to express his admiration for the men and women of Team Charleston.

“I am very impressed,” said Ramsay.

“Everyone works together to accomplish the mission that is Team Charleston.”

Critical days of summer safety campaign

Courtesy of 628th Air Base Wing Safety office

Various safety campaigns are in place during the spring and summer months throughout the Department of Defense. The Army's "Take 5 for Safety", Navy's "Live to Play, Play to Live" and the Air Force's "Safety - It's Personal" are 2012 safety campaign themes. Campaign names and durations vary but the ultimate goal is the same - to reduce or eliminate the number of preventable fatal mishaps and injuries.

This year, May 25 through Sept. 4 is designated as the Air Force Safety Center's "Critical Days of Summer" safety campaign. The 15-week campaign, "Safety – It's Personal," is designed to remind us that when it comes to safety, individual decisions can directly impact loved ones, friends, co-workers

and the entire Air Force family. This year's vision is to ensure all members have zero preventable fatal mishaps and an injury-free summer.

The objective of the Air Force's Critical Days of Summer Campaign 2012 is to call attention to the loss and/or injury of members during the summer and to make them realize that safety is personal for them, their families, friends and coworkers.

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, more Airmen die in off-duty mishaps than at any other time of the year. Since Fiscal Year 2002, the Air Force has experienced 218 fatalities during the Critical Days of Summer; 201 off-duty and 17 onduty. Last summer, off-duty mishaps claimed the lives of 18 Airmen. Seventy-two percent of these fatalities involved pri-

vate motor vehicles and almost half of these fatalities were alcohol related. In some cases, victims did not wear seat belts.

Air Force senior leaders remind us, "Because one lost life is too many, we urge all Airmen to look out for one another, especially during the critical days of summer."

Proper planning, sound risk management and wise decision making is very important.

Smart choices may include steps as simple as starting a trip with proper rest, using personal protective equipment, observing posted speed limits, avoiding driver distractions like cell phones and never drive under the influence of alcohol. These decisions save lives.

Safety campaign names and themes change but the bottom line is they're all about safety.

Conducting fall sports physicals

By 1st Lt. William Frechette 628th Medical Group

Participating in team sports is a great way to exercise and have fun. But before doing so, children must receive clearance from a doctor to make sure they are physically fit to play.

The physical demands placed on the body during sports can be rigorous, which is why it

is so important to have a sports physical prior to participation in competitive team sports.

During the physical, the medical staff will check height, weight, blood pressure, listen to the heart and lungs, look into the ears, nose and throat, check eyesight and finally, test strength and flexibility. The medical staff will also discuss any medical questions or concerns you may have about your child's health

in relation to the sport they want to play.

The 628th Medical Group encourages you to plan in advance and to schedule your child's physical soon. By doing so, you ensure your child will be seen prior to the start of their sport.

The 628th MDG will make every attempt possible to schedule your child to be seen prior to their sports start date, however, toward the end of summer it can take up to 28 days to be seen.

Has your child been seen for a well-visit or routine check-up in the past 11 months? If so, you can simply drop off your sports physical form at the clinic front desk and it will be completed and ready for pick up after two duty days.

For more information, call the 628th MDG appointment line at 963-6880 or contact 1st Lt. William Frechette at William.frechette.1 @us.af.mil.

JB CHS training helps motorcyclists from becoming a statistic

By Senior Airman Ian Hoachlander Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

As summer approaches, the number of motorcyclists from Joint Base Charleston will increase to enjoy the freedom of riding during their daily and recreational activities.

Motorcycles are known for their outstanding gas mileage, unique looks and the excitement riders receive when cruising down the road. These two-wheeled vehicles may have some advantages when compared to other vehicles, but are also essentially dangerous to operate without the proper training and safety equipment.

Military regulations can often be misinterpreted, and personnel who aren't aware of the requirements or choose to disregard them are putting their lives and career in serious jeopardy.

Military members who plan to ride a motorcycle on or off base and civilian personnel who ride a motorcycle while in a duty status must complete an appropriate Department of Defense, Motorcycle Safety Foundation, or state-approved training course.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Riders Course 1 is specifically designed as initial training to help develop the skills necessary to recognize and avoid potentially hazardous situations throughout the course of a rider's journey.

Students begin the course with a day of in-class instruction where they are introduced to different types of motorcycles, how to operate a motorcycle and what to do before they ride.

They are also introduced to a variety of street strategies ranging from what to do when being chased by a dog to what to look out for when coming to up to an intersection.

On the second day, students learn the basic functions of a motorcycle and how to operate it safely, to include straightline riding, turning, shifting and stopping.

The instructors spend half of the third day teaching students proper cornering, swerving and emergency braking techniques. At the conclusion of the instructional portion of the course the rider coaches give the students a written knowledge test and skill evaluation.

Many motorcycle crashes are attributed to the rider's lack of knowledge of their vehicle's capabilities when it comes to braking and cornering; failure to use defensive driving tech-

niques; and failure to follow the speed limit.

"If you think motorcycle training is a once in a life time endeavor, you will probably become a statistic," said Gary Gist, 628th Air Base Wing Safety Office ground safety technician. "Training is an ongoing process. Think about it; pilots, racecar drivers and football players all practice and train continuously throughout their careers. Why should your motorcycle riding career be any different other than the fact that your life depends on it?

The MSF BRC-1 is the initial step for military members who may even be considering purchasing a motorcycle. The course must be completed before operating a motorcycle on or off base, on or off duty.

Joint Base Charleston offers multiple MSF courses based on the skill level and the type of bike of the motorcyclist. New riders who want to participate in the basic riders course or seasoned riders coming up on their five-year retrain mark and want to participate in a more experienced course should contact their Motorcycle Safety Representative.

For more information contact the 628th Air Base Wing Safety Office at 764-7037 or 963-5605.

War hero relives battle 70 years later

By Senior Airman Dennis Sloan Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

On the quiet morning of June 4, 1942, 30 minutes before day break, the Sailors aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-5) were ordered to man their battle stations as Japanese bombers were quickly advancing on their position.

The roar of the approaching aircraft engines and the sound of their wings cutting through the morning air filled the Sailors ears.

The Battle of Midway had begun.

Before the men knew it, Japanese torpedo bombers were flying past the Yorktown at lightning speeds dropping propelled fish destined for destruction into the ocean.

Dive bombers were swooping down from the clouds so close to the ship's deck, the men on board could see the deathly stares in the pilot's eyes.

Amidst the chaos and carnage was a 17 year-old-man, John Hancock, a Georgia native who had never ventured further than a few miles from his farm. He found himself on the Yorktown seated behind a .50-caliber machine gun in the middle of the Pacific Ocean filling the skies above with bright streaks of light.

"I learned to shoot as a kid when I went quail hunting with my father," said Hancock.

Hancock was assigned to the .50-caliber rather than .20caliber machine gun, because he had proven to be a proficient shot less than a month prior, during the Battle of Coral Sea. "Even though I was still shooting birds out of the sky during the battle, I had to lead them a little more than the quail back home, since they were moving a lot faster," Hancock jokingly said.

Firing overhead, he was unable to shoot down a plane from his position and watched it fly past. He turned to his left to witness his shipmates firing at the same Japanese plane. It was finally hit. The plane, looking like Swiss cheese and spewing smoke and flames from its engines, began to barrel roll. As it fell from the sky, the bomb it was carrying came off and landed directly on the Sailors who had shot it down moments earlier.

The bomb from the fallen plane struck the flight deck and the gun stations blowing Hancock from his seat. Barely surviving the explosion, Hancock stood up with a blooddrenched neck from shrapnel wounds and a collapsed lung.

He walked over to the men who had been firing behind him.

"The gun stations were awash with blood ... arms, legs and heads everywhere," said Hancock. "My best friends, who I had gone through basic training with, were among those gunners. It was hard for me, a young man, to see so much death and destruction."

After a second torpedo hit the Yorktown, the crew was ordered to abandon ship. Hancock navigated through the holes and fires on the deck, grabbed his life preserver and jumped overboard. It was still daylight when he hit the water. It wasn't until dark that he was picked up by a U.S. Navy destroyer.

Hancock jump off the ship wearing nothing more than his skivvies (underwear) and cover.

"As I drifted away from the mangled ship and my fellow Sailors, I looked down at the life preserver and read what was printed on the top; 'floatation device good for up to 24-hours,'" said Hancock. "I never really thought if I was going to die. At that age you just think about what is going on at that moment.

I'll never forget the numbers painted on the side of the ship that rescued me, which read DD 411."

Hancock was rescued from the Pacific Ocean when Sailors aboard the U.S. destroyer formed a human chain and lifted him from the water. He was then taken to the ships sick bay to have his wounds evaluated.

The Battle of Midway is regarded as the most significant naval battle of the Pacific Campaign during World War II.

Hancock recovered at home in Georgia for a month or so and returned to the Navy to fight another day. Instead of shooting at aircraft from a ship, Hancock found himself in the cockpit of a fighter jet patrolling the skies he once filled with machine gun rounds.

"Since there was a shortage of pilots in the Navy at the time, enlisted Sailors were trained and sent to the air," said Hancock. "Later, all the enlisted pilots were commissioned."

437th MXS PMELs attention to detail impacts all JB Charleston

By Senior Airman Anthony Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

All equipment used in the military, from the smallest of screws to precision-guided weapons, depend on accurate measurements to properly function.

The 437th Maintenance Squadron Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory, located in the Test, Diagnostic and Measurement Equipment flight in Bldg. 707, is an 18-man shop with technicians who are responsible for the repair, calibration and modification of measurement equipment here at Joint Base Charleston. They provide support to the 437th Airlift Wing, the 628th Air Base Wing and the 315th Airlift Wing, along with Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras, SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic and Joint Base Charleston's Weapons Station.

"The Air Force uses all sorts of test equipment; electronic and physical," said Staff Sgt. Jordan Fiebelkorn, 437th MXS PMEL physical-dimensional section supervisor. "We make sure that one inch is one inch all the way across the Air Force and also ensure traceability [to Air Force Reference Standards]."

Some of the most common equipment the PMEL Airmen work on here are torque wrenches and pressure gauges. But they also work on linear, voltage, frequency and Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment, according to Fiebelkorn.

"We inspect TMDE for preventive maintenance, cleanliness and safety requirements in addition to checking for accuracy," Fiebelkorn said. "To describe our job say 'you buy a watch.'

Presumably there is 60 seconds on that watch, but how do you know that is true? Our job would be to verify that there is 60 seconds on that watch and every second is a true second."

JB Charleston's PMEL is broken up into two sections electronics and physical dimensional.

On the electronics side of the laboratory, technicians supervise the process and use of TMDE to perform AC/DC voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, phase, frequency,

power/attenuation and vibration tests.

The physical-dimensional side consists of technicians who are skilled on calibrations involving mass, linear, angular, torque, force, tension, rotary motion, temperature, vacuum and pressure.

"All of these functions are performed in a strictly controlled laboratory environment where the temperature and humidity are constantly monitored," said Master Sgt. Kevin LeMere, 437th MXS TMDE flight chief.

Not to be mistaken for aircraft maintainers, PMEL Airmen do not work on the planes themselves. Instead, they work on the equipment Airman Miller calibrates a tripod-jack gauge, May 29, 2012.
