Remembering the Battle of Midway Story and photos by Machinist's Mate 3rd Class Brannon Deugan Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs Joint Base Charleston hosted a commemoration June 3 to recognize the 69th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, widely considered one of the most significant naval victories in United States history. Similar ceremonies were held throughout the Navy. Charleston's ceremony was conducted onboard the former USS Yorktown (CV 10) at Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum, where Joint Base Charleston's Deputy Commander, Capt. Ralph Ward, gave keynote remarks that were followed by a wreath-laying ceremony. "It was an honor to participate in the wreath-laying ceremony," said Fireman John Dyer, from Naval Support Activity, one of the wreath presenters during the commemoration ceremony. "It was a great chance to honor everyone who served at the Battle of Midway because they contributed tremendously to the success of the battle and ultimately to the United States winning the war in the Pacific." Six months prior to Midway, the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor destroyed or crippled much of the Navy's Pacific Fleet. Fortunately the U.S. aircraft carriers were unscathed because they were at sea during the attack. The Japanese planned the Midway campaign to draw what remained of the U.S. fleet into a final engagement that would force it to sue for peace and allow Japan to solidify its gains in the Pacific. The U. S. fleet was significantly outnumbered by the Japanese, but had several advantages. First, code breakers had been able to determine much Fireman John Dyer, right, and Machinist's Mate 3rd Class Michael Phaiboun present a wreath to Capt. Ralph of the Japanese attack plan and the element of surprise was now on the Ward and Rev. Harold Syfrett. The wreath was laid during the commemoration ceremony of the 69th U.S. side. In addition, the Japanese had dispersed its huge naval force and Anniversary of the Battle of Midway onboard the USS Yorktown (CV 10) at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime only sent four of 10 aircraft carriers to Midway, perhaps overconfident of Museum, June 3.

COMMENTARY
Wingman redefined: a guide for teamwork By Lt. Col. Anthony Carr 14th Airlift Squadron commander “Wingman.” It’s a word that elicits a range of reactions. Upon hearing it, some will straighten their spines with pride. Others will roll their eyes with disdain. It has become both a powerful concept and an overused term. When I ask Airmen what the word wingman means to them, the most common answer is “motherhood.” Somewhere along the way, in our well-meaning attempt to encourage a climate of mutual support, it seems the true meaning of wingman has been replaced with an oversimplified version. It’s important we set that right; a positive wingman culture is central to our success. In years of formation flying, I’ve come to my own conclusions about what constitutes a good wingman. When we assemble a formation and work together toward an objective, the contract between formation members is defined and wingmen are charged with keeping it, quite a simple concept. But, as with most things, the devil is in the details; what are the typical expectations of a wingman? What sorts of things do we expect from a wingman every time? In my view, three qualities define a good wingman, and each deserves a bit more explanation. Mutual support is the part of being a wingman that gets the greatest emphasis these days as we hold our team together in challenging times. The best leaders expect wingmen to be on the lookout for threats to the formation and empower wingmen to intervene and keep the formation safe. If the third C-17 in a three-ship formation sees that the leader is about to fly the team through a thunderstorm, it is incumbent on that wingman to key the radio and say
“lead, three … change heading now.” When a group of off-duty Airmen find themselves having a good time but one is headed for trouble, the effective wingman is the one who speaks up and says “change heading now.” This isn’t always comfortable, but it’s the right thing to do and the expectation of every wingman. Of course, to intervene and provide support to a teammate, you’ve got to first sense a problem. The second quality in a good wingman is situational awareness beyond the self. From the day we each commit to the Air Force, formation operations commence and are perpetual until we’re no longer in uniform. Nothing any of us do, good or bad, is consequence free for our teammates and abandonment of the situation or failure to act are not options … because when you go it alone, you pay the price, and so does your wingman. In 1943, as the United States Army Air Force prepared for World War II, a formation of B-24 Liberators took off from a training field in Georgia for routine maneuvers. Sgt. Robert Hammer was relaying radio signals from his aircraft to another when he witnessed one bomber deviate from position and pass too closely to another; the deviating bomber was correcting his own airspeed without regard for his position in the formation, and the results were devastating. The two aircraft collided and were lost. The squadron deployed with two fewer bombers and 20 fewer Airmen than it needed. The mishap was preventable if anyone in the formation had sensed the subtle but important changes taking place. For members of today’s Air Force, this means staying involved enough to sense what’s going on with your teammates. Awareness is critical because if a formation member is hiding a problem and performance degrades without warning, everyone suffers. Sensing
degraded performance is made much simpler, however, when such instances are rare. This brings us to a third important point. Perhaps the least discussed but most important aspect of being a wingman is also the simplest: individual reliability. If each Airman does his or her job and is always in position, the formation will spend less energy on mutual support and more energy on making the enemy suffer. When Gen. Bill Creech took command of Tactical Air Command in 1978, he was confronted with a unique distraction. Many of his crews at Holloman Air Force Base were performing dive-bombing missions but crediting themselves with dive-toss proficiency. Put simply, they were falsifying training records. Because of this, he couldn’t rely on the wing to execute its combat mission. General Creech conducted an investigation resulting in the firing of multiple commanders and crews. These activities dominated the command’s focus for months and left it one wing short for a period of time. Our Air Force cannot answer the nation’s call without a commitment to individual excellence and responsibility. No squadron in our Air Force is built with the assumption of subpar performance. When one of us falls short, it puts more strain on the rest of the team. There’s nothing more important to our current and future Air Force than reinforcement of a positive service culture. The term wingman has perhaps been overused in recent times, but reflecting on all that it implies is the key to shared “Excellence in All We Do.” While we can survive by intervening to keep each other out of trouble, we can only truly thrive by creating a culture that champions all aspects of being a good wingman. We must continue to encourage these qualities across our service.
My life was changed forever By Staff Sgt. Anthony Huling 20th Equipment Maintenance Squadron SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. – My life was changed forever February 11. It was a Friday. I was glad to be getting off work, because I was going to be on leave for the next two weeks. Around 5 p.m., my friend, Chris, texted me and asked if I wanted to come over to his house. Since my wife was taking my daughter over to a friend's house, I decided to go. When I arrived, he was in his garage building a paint booth for his motorcycle. So, I started helping him out. We were working and having some drinks. Somewhere around 10:30 p.m., we decided to take his motorcycle for a spin. We headed out of our neighborhood, and it was only about a half mile before we veered off of the road. The next thing I remember is waking up in a helicopter. It felt like a bad dream. I asked the EMT where I was and what happened. They told me that I had been in a motorcycle accident, and I was being airlifted to the hospital. I was told that we were driving between 80 and 120 mph. Chris and I were thrown about 100 feet from the cycle. There were sever-
al bones broken in my back and road rash on my forehead, back, chest, stomach, knees, ankles and toes. I now have nerve damage in both arms. Chris was not as lucky. He has severe head trauma and some broken ribs. He is also currently in a coma and is not responding. I can only hope and pray that he will wake up. Our selfish act affected our family, friends and co-workers. When his wife heard us leave she got in her car to find us. She was passed by an ambulance heading out and followed. She arrived on scene and saw us lying on the asphalt. She rushed back to my house to get my wife. Luckily, my oldest daughter was spending the night at a friend's house. Chris was just recently married, and his wife was pregnant. We had to postpone my youngest daughter's second birthday party. Most people don't get a second chance in life. I would have never made this mistake if I had not been drinking. I thought I had a safe plan. But, that all fell apart because I could not make any responsible decisions after I started drinking. I pray that none of you will ever have to go through something like this. The world does not look the same as it did before the accident. Only by God's grace am I alive and able to tell this story.
Have a Plan By Master Sgt. Donald Leydig Career assistance advisor, Joint Base Charleston’s Professional Enhancement Center
Are you getting ready to separate or retire? Are you ready to transfer back into the civilian world? Remember, one day we will all have to leave the military, and unless you have a great financial portfolio, you will probably have to find another job. So, before you make this decision ensure you have a plan in place to help you better cope with the transition. I have seen many Airmen who are getting close to retirement or separation and have no plan on what they are going to do when that day arrives. The following are some things that you might want to consider when you preparing to leave the military: Have a financial plan. This is the biggest challenge you will have to face before you leave. Are you planning on attending school? Do you
know all the rules and requirements in regards to your GI Bill? Do you know how to write a resume? Do you know where to look for a job? Have you thought about life insurance? If you are separating, have you thought about health care? Do you know your veteran’s benefits? If you are living in the dorms or housing, do you have a place to live when you leave? These are some basic things you need to know prior to leaving the military. Many of these are forgotten because they are automatically taken care of while you are serving. Visit your Airman & Family Readiness Center or your Career Assistance Advisor to help you make a smoother transition into the civilian world. It can be a stressful time, but if you have a good plan in place then the process will go much easier for you and your family. Please visit the Joint Base Charleston Professional Enhancement Center, or call your CAA at 963-2768 for more information.

Man … it’s hot out there. Take precautions. From Naval Health Clinic Charleston Public Affairs Summer is rapidly approaching in the Lowcountry and the sun is causing the mercury in the thermometer to rise. In this case, proper precautions when dealing with the heat can truly be the difference between life and death. Consider the 1967 six-day war when more than 20,000 Egyptian soldiers died from heat stroke. The Egyptian troops were following practices of strict water rationing while Israeli troops, with abundant field water supplies and command enforced water policies, had minimal heat casualties. Heat stress can be debilitating to individuals as well as the unit. In order to maintain a high degree of operational readiness and maintain personal health, keep the following guidelines in mind: • When conducting physical activities outdoors, attempt to tackle the most strenuous tasks early in the morning when the heat index is low. During midday and the afternoon, slow down and stay in shaded area as much as possible. • If you must work during the hottest parts of the day, drink plenty of fluids and establish an adequate rest and work rotation. • Sixty four ounces of water (roughly two liters) is the recommended amount of water for a sedentary person. Consider drinking more on hot, humid days. As a rule of thumb, drink before you're thirsty and your urine should be clear or slightly yellow indicating a healthy system. • As a general rule, drink water continuously over a long period of time rather than drinking a lot at once. Keep a water bottle with you during strenuous activities. • Avoid caffeinated drinks such as coffee, sugary sodas
and energy drinks. These beverages serve as a diuretic and can hasten dehydration. • Eat three balanced meals and get a full eight hours of rest. Do not take salt tablet supplements. • When working outside, wear light colored, breathable clothing. Cotton is the preferred material due to its excellenct breathability. While physical training is vital to maintaining a fit and healthy fighting force, considerations should be made when exercising outdoors. Monitor the Heat Stress flags before conducting PT sessions. - White (less than 80°F heat index) Extremely intense physical exertion may precipitate heat exhaustion or heat stroke, therefore, caution must be taken. - Green (80°F - 84.9°F heat index) Discretion is required in planning heavy exercise for un-acclimatized personnel. This is a marginal heat stress limit for all personnel. - Yellow (85°F - 87.9°F heat index) Strenuous exercise and activity must be curtailed for new and un-acclimatized personnel during the first three weeks of heat exposure. Outdoor classes in the sun must be avoided when the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature index exceeds 85. - Red (88°F - 89.9°F heat index) Strenuous exercise must be curtailed for all personnel with less than 12 weeks training in hot weather. - Black (90°F heat index or above) Physical training and strenuous exercise must be suspended for all personnel. (excludes operational commitment not for training purposes). The bottom line is to be smart and adhere to the Heat Stress Flags posted in your areas. Do not become a heat casualty. Heat stress injuries are preventable.

Sexual Assault – do you know what to do? By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Jennifer Hudson Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs It’s Friday night and you’re looking forward to an evening out with friends, except their plans change, and now they can’t make it. You’re dressed and ready so you decide to go out alone. You heard about a new local bar and decide to stop in for a few drinks. A cute guy or girl pulls up a seat next to you and buys you a drink. You’re having a great time, but you might be putting yourself in danger. Being in an unfamiliar area alone and accepting drinks from people you don’t know can make you an easy target for sexual assault or rape. If that happens, do you know what to do? Who do you call first, the police or your chain of command? Can you take a shower or do you go to the emergency room? According to Joint Base Charleston-Weapons Station Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Tiffany Mizzell, victims should immediately report any sexual assault or rape to either herself as the SARC, or the on-call Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program victim advocate. The SARC or VA not only provides emotional aide to a victim but also informs them of what their reporting options are. “First and foremost, if you are a victim of sexual assault, don’t wait – call us anytime of the day or night. There is a duty phone number, 843-478-8615, that will put a victim in touch with a VA.” Ms. Mizzell said. “This is very important because a victim needs to understand their options when it comes to reporting the incident. We’re there as advocates to be their support network no matter which type of report they file.” There are two types of reporting procedures for military members: restricted and unrestricted. Restricted reporting allows a victim to report the assault, on a confidential basis, to only the SAPR VA or SARC. A victim may still receive medical attention, counseling and support through their advocate without triggering an official investigation. However, should the victim disclose any information or details of the events to a military friend or base security, the report is no longer restricted. Unrestricted reporting launches a full investigation involving the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, legal services,
security and the victim’s command. Once the investigation begins, a victim may choose how involved they want to be with the case. “Should a military member call authorities prior to calling an advocate it could limit their choices on whether or not they can go restricted or unrestricted,” said Ms. Mizzell. “Every victim has options and we just want them to be aware of what they are. That is why it is important to call an advocate so that these details are explained to a victim.” Joint Base Charleston VAs are trained volunteers on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and respond immediately to victims of an attempted or completed act of sexual assault or rape. They provide vital information to victims, all the while helping a victim through any medical, legal or investigative procedures. “We are here for the victim,” said Master-at-Arms 1st Class Kate Jackson, 628th Security Forces Squadron. “As an advocate, we hold no bias opinions, we do not judge and we will never put blame on a victim. Our job is to ensure a victim is taken care of both physically and emotionally. We are their ultimate line of support.” The Navy, as well as the Department of Defense, has set a goal to reduce sexual assault cases throughout the ranks. To help with this effort, the SAPR program was formed, providing empathetic advocates to help victims through legal and medical procedures as well as raising awareness through preventive training. “It is essential that military members are thoroughly trained and aware of what to do should they or someone they know fall victim to such a terrible crime,” said Ms. Mizzell. “Although the Navy requires annual training on sexual assault and has dedicated the entire month of April to help
raise awareness, many service members are still unfamiliar with what their options are or who they can turn to. “Here at JB CHS, we are dedicated to ensuring all our service members and SAPR program members are prepared to deal with these types of situations,” she said. According to national statistics, one out of every six women and approximately one out of every 33 men has been a victim of an attempted or completed act of assault or rape in their lifetime. These statistics are only the reported assaults and rapes; approximately 60 percent, more than half, go unreported. Here are some things you can do if you or a loved one fall victim to an assault: - Go to a safe location away from the attacker. - Seek medical care as soon as possible. Even if you do not have any visible physical injuries, you may be injured or be at risk of becoming pregnant or acquiring a sexually-transmitted disease. - Contact a VA or SARC. - If you suspect you may have been drugged, request that a urine sample be taken. - Preserve all evidence of the assault. Do not bathe, wash your hands or your brush your teeth. - Do not clean or straighten up the crime scene. - Write down or record by any means, all details you can recall about the events that took place and about your assailant. For more information, contact your command SARC or SAPR VA. If you or someone you know becomes a victim of an attempted sexual assault or rape, immediately call the duty cell at 478-8615 for the Navy SARC or 963-7272 for the Air Force SARC..

Air Force and Navy News Airmen save Soldier from gas fire KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Two Airmen from the 466th Air Expeditionary Wing flightline security office saved a Solider from a gasoline fire May 26, here. Two members of the flightline security team had driven to a base gas station to refuel their truck. Staff Sgt. Alicia Estes was pumping the gas when Senior Airman Kourtlyn Stafford yelled that he saw a fire. They rushed to the flames Airman Stafford to the truck and Sergeant Estes to the Soldier lying on the ground. Onlookers were trying to put out the fire by beating it with their shirts. "They were smacking him with blouses, dousing him with a fire extinguisher," said Sergeant Estes. Sergeant Estes said was concerned because the blouses seemed to only fan the flames more, and she didn't want to suffocate the man with the fire extinguisher. She took a blouse from a nearby Soldier and laid it over the fire, which stifled it. It singed her uniform and left black burn marks on her red flightline security arm band. Finally, she treated the victim for shock. An ambulance arrived and transported the Soldier to the KAF hospital. Meanwhile, Airman Stafford managed to extinguish the fire near the Army vehicle. Officials said the fire had been caused by a spark from static buildup. The fire was near the truck's fuel bladder and Airman Stafford managed to stop it before it spread. "The whole compound could have blown up. That's the scariest thing," Sergeant Estes said.
Fighter Wing honored with Doolittle Award ARLINGTON, Va. – The 4th Fighter Wing received the inaugural Air Force Historical Foundation Doolittle Award during a ceremony at the Air Force Memorial here June 2. The Doolittle Award promotes the history and heritage of a unit as opposed to an individual. The award is named after Lt. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, a Medal of Honor recipient whose surprise raid on Japan in early 1942 is generally recognized as the U.S.'s first World War II victory and helped turn the tide in the Pacific theater. "Units have a living history of their own," said Jim Vertenten, the AFHF executive director. "The people come and go, but the units stay and accumulate their own history over time." The 4th FW received the award because of its significant contributions to the Air Force for more than 70 years. "Over many conflicts, the teams at the 4th (FW), on a continuing basis, kept its history alive with outstanding achievements and have never really fallen out of the limelight in any
way at any time," Mr. Vertenten said. Air Force Assistant Vice Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Richard Y. Newton III presented the award at the memorial site, just outside Arlington National Cemetery. "Just over that hill, General Doolittle is buried, along with fellow Doolittle Raiders and those who served countless ages in this nation, who have given the ultimate sacrifice," the general said. "So I think it's fitting that the Air Force Historical Foundation inaugural award be named in his memory, not only to his service but to his dedication to airpower." Col. Patrick Doherty, the 4th FW commander, accepted the award on behalf of the wing.
101-year-old patient receives surgery aboard Comfort TUMACO, Colombia – Personnel embarked aboard Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) performed a cataract removal surgery on a 101year-old woman while anchored off the coast of Tumaco, Colombia, June 6. Irene Becerra, a native of Araño, Colombia, arrived at the Escuela Max Seídel medical site, June 4, complaining of a headache and loss of sight in her left eye, which the Continuing Promise 2011 (CP11) medical team later determined was caused by a cataract. Lt. Cmdr. Francine Worthington, the patient administration department head aboard Comfort, performed Ms. Becerra's initial screening. "When I first met Irene, she immediately greeted me with her radiant smile and comforting hands," said Lieutenant Commander Worthington. "Initially, I didn't even know she was 101. When asked what the secret to her longevity was, she told me, 'God's blessing'." Shortly after her surgical screening with Lieutenant Commander Worthington, Ms. Becerra was approved for cataract removal surgery. "I was nervous at first," said Luz Becerra, the daughter of Ms. Becerra, of the trip out to Comfort. "We left it all up to God, but with the wonderful flight crew and medical staff, the flight was calm," she added. Ms. Becerra received her surgery aboard Comfort the morning of June 6. After a twohour surgery and a recovery period, Ms. Becerra, the oldest surgical patient for the CP11 team to date, will soon gain vision from her left eye. "I want to thank God, the medical staff aboard Comfort, and everyone else involved in making this procedure possible," said Ms. Becerra. Lieutenant Commander Worthington said that she was honored to help Ms. Becerra throughout the screening process, which led to her undergoing the life-changing surgery. She added that this surgery is representative of the

Change in law results in retroactive benefits for non-OEF/OIF injuries WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs announced June 3, Sailors who suffered a qualifying injury on or after Oct. 7, 2001, may be eligible beginning Oct. 1, for a payment of $25,000 to $100,000 regardless of where the injury occurred. The Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection program became effective Dec. 1, 2005. This program provides benefits to service members who have suffered physical losses as the result of traumatic injuries. TSGLI originally provided for payment to two groups of service members: - All service members covered under Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance who suffered qualifying losses on or after Dec. 1, 2005, regardless of where those injuries occurred. - Those who suffered qualifying losses between Oct. 7, 2001, and Nov. 30, 2005, in support of Operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom. With the passage of the Veterans' Benefits Act of 2010, service members who incurred qualifying injuries outside of OEF or OIF during the retroactive period may be eligible to receive benefits, regardless of whether they had SGLI coverage at the time of their injury. Beginning Oct. 1, 2011, active and Reserve Sailors who suffered qualifying injuries from events such as training accidents or motor vehicle accidents between Oct. 7, 2001 and Nov. 30, 2005, while serving stateside or in other areas outside of OEF or OIF, can now receive the same traumatic injury benefits as those who served in OEF and OIF. Such injuries did not have to occur while on active duty or active duty for training.

U.S., Korean air forces rumble forward in Max Thunder 11-1 KWANGJU AIR BASE, Republic of Korea – The South Korean and U.S. air forces hosted a joint exercise here May recently to sharpen their ability to work together in a simulated wartime environment. The exercise, held annually, provided bilateral training to more than 320 personnel from the 8th Fighter Wing at Kunsan Air Base and the 51st Fighter Wing and 7th Air Force at Osan Air Base. It is the largest on the Korean peninsula. "Max Thunder is the only exercise we have on the peninsula that allows for both (Korean) and U.S. airmen to not only fly together, but plan, brief and debrief together," said Maj. Bill Maclin, the 7th Air Force chief of training. "This really allows the alliance to grow stronger to enhance all of our operational capabilities as well as enhance the interoperability and communication among our air forces." "Over the last few years, the U.S. has really gotten used to hosting large force exercises like Red Flag," said Maj. T.J. Lowe, 36th Fighter Squadron assistant director of operations at Osan AB. "Max Thunder allows ROKAF the experience in hosting international exercises." "They can see how the U.S. operates on a much bigger scale," Major Lowe said. "It enhances our ability if we ever have to go north." Members of the Royal Australian Air Force attended to observe operations between the Koreans and Americans. "We were invited to take a look at this world-class exercise hosted by the ROKAF," said Sq. Ldr. Anthony D'Alessandro, the HQ RAAF Air Command exercise planning officer. "It's excellent to see the exceptional interactions and high caliber of professionalism between the Air Force and ROKAF. It's clear the process is similar to what we use back home." "Our mission here is to help them understand how to accept follow on forces," said Master Sgt. Jerry Thomas, the 8th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron night shift production supervisor. "This gives them the best equipment and training to help them succeed. Though our mission is the same as back home -- to make sure jets are ready to launch at a moment's notice." Working alongside their Kunsan brothers and sisters, Airmen from Osan AB assigned to the 621st Air Control Squadron said the exercise meant greater communication of operational capabilities and helped facilitate professional development and growth.

Capt. Pride award cites SPAWAR’s green’ efforts Courtesy of Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic Office of Public Affairs and Corporate Communications Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic received the Captain Pride Award for its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint during the 44th Annual Community Pride Award Luncheon May 13. The award is given to only the top 10 individuals, businesses, governments or civic organizations in the county. "We are extremely pleased to be the recipient of this award and very proud of our 'green' team and our employees' collective efforts," said SSC Atlantic Executive Director Christopher Miller. With more than 2,300 federal employees in the Charleston area and as many as 9,000 contractors across SSC Atlantic, many of whom are in Charleston, SSC Atlantic has offset its energy usage emissions by teleworking, increasing and promoting recycling, modifying fluorescent light ballasts and installing occupancy sensors in their buildings. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic also promotes carpooling by offering parking incentives, has digitized their monthly newsletter and quarterly magazine and replaced a gas-powered maintenance vehicle with an electric vehicle. Other initiatives include an employee bicycle share pilot program and installing solar panels to charge golf carts. Additionally, SSC Atlantic has adopted a highway in the city of North Charleston and has participated in the Keep North Charleston Beautiful spring beautification project of the Park Circle Butterfly Garden. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic is aligned with the Chief of Naval Operations' and Secretary of the Navy's vision and goals for environmental stewardship. Goal Two of the center's strategic plan is to "continually decrease the environmental impact through operational practices that reduce, reuse, recycle and renew natural resources while meeting customers' requirements." "We have already reaped significant energy savings while meeting this goal," said Mr. Miller. He noted that lighting modifications have saved 1,160,640 kilowatt hours a year, 116 more recycling containers were purchased for all SSC Atlantic buildings,
bicycles and solar-powered golf carts are being used by employees to move around SSC Atlantic campuses, reserved parking spots are offered for hybrid and carpool vehicles and involvement in Adopt-aHighway (Virginia Avenue) and Clean Cities Sweep programs has increased. The award is one of several presented by Community Pride of Charleston. Sponsored by the Clemson University Extension Service and Charleston County, Community Pride of Charleston County is a diverse group of dedicated individuals, businesses and organizations who encourage and recognize those who take pride in their community through beautification and litter prevention efforts. For more than 40 years, Community Pride of Charleston has been recognizing individuals, groups, businesses, schools, agencies, municipalities and others who improve the community through beautification and other efforts.

Officials release new selective re-enlistment bonus list RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – Enlisted members now have 77 Air Force specialties from which they can receive a selective re-enlistment bonus. Officials said this fiscal year's program retains a heavy emphasis on retaining Airmen with 17 months to six years of service, and made adjustments in the 6 to 10 and 10 to 14 years-of-service zones. There were no adjustments in the 18 to 20 years-of-service zone. "Balancing the enlisted force is a constant challenge; using SRBs is certainly one of the most effective retention tools the Air Force can employ to retain our number one priority ... our Airmen," said Michael McLaughlin, the chief of Air Force re-enlistments at the Air Force Personnel Center here. Officials added no Air Force specialty codes to the list and increased 13 AFSCs in at least one zone. Thirty-six AFSCs had a zone eliminated or decreased and 13 AFSCs
were removed from the program. All increases and additions went into effect May 16 and all decreases and deletions will go into effect June 15. Any re-enlistments or extensions of any length were completed prior to the official message release will remain valid. Airmen who are eligible for re-enlistment and are affected by decreases or removals should re-enlist before June 14 to receive the previously approved bonus. These bonuses do not apply to Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard members. To determine eligibility for re-enlistment with an SRB entitlement, members should contact the career development element at their local military personnel section.

JB Charleston takes first step to ORI By Captain Frank Hartnett Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs Charleston Airmen recently completed a mobility exercise in preparation for an Operational Readiness Inspection later this year. The Joint Airbase team consisting of the 315th & 437 Airlift Wings and 628th Air Base Wing have combined their efforts in advance of the inspection that will take place this fall. Nearly 500 Airmen were selected to be processed for deployment. Unit deployment managers from all wings had to prepare the necessary paperwork and credentials for deploying Airmen. According to exercise planners, the mobility exercise was a solid success. “We were very pleased with the strides made from our last exercise in February,” said Lieutenant Colonel Steve Noll, lead ORI/ORE planner, 437 AW & 628 ABW. “There will always be small hiccups, but what makes Team Charleston great is the attitude people have toward the ORI and exercises leading up to it.” The three wings across Joint Base Charleston have adopted the slogan “One Team...No Seam” in advance of their

inspection. The slogan was coined by senior leadership and designed to remind all Airmen that the Inspector General will be setting their sights on the entire team – active and reserve. Errors and mistakes, while few, were also quickly resolved. “Whenever an issue came up concerning the processing of passengers, personnel were quick to adjust and develop a fix to keep the mobility machine moving,” said Lt. Col. Noll. “Kudos for cargo preparation go out to all the units since there were very U.S. Air Force Photo/Capt Wayne Capps few discrepancies.” This most recent exercise Airmen of the 628th Airlift Wing and the 315th Airlift Wing line up to sign in during a mobilwas aimed at processing per- ity exercise on June 4, 2011 at Joint Base Charleston. The mobility exercise explores the sonnel, taking an Airman operational readiness capabilities of airmen as they prepare for deployment. from the deployment order all the way through preparation and stopping just before actual departure for deployment. Subsequent exercises will include a full-up mobilization which will take all participating Airmen to a Joint Training Center located in Mississippi. In addition, Airmen can expect later exercises to increase in intensity and to have additional requirements. One example will be testing the ability to survive and operate in situations where Airmen will have to don their bio-chemical warfare suits. Airmen continue to deploy to support current overseas operations but exercise planners reminded Airmen that the ORI will be a more thorough test of skill sets. “Although Joint Base Charleston deploys personnel U.S. Air Force photo/SSgt Rashard Coaxum weekly, the requirements we need to demonstrate to the IG Tech. Sgt. John Griffin reviews his mobility file paperwork during the ORI are perishable skills,” said Lt. Col.

315th AW completes MOBEX, eyes ORE By Lt. Joe Simms 315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
Members of the 315th Airlift Wing and their active duty counterparts participated in a mobility exercise June 1 through 5 in preparation for the Operational Readiness Inspection later this year. The exercise was the culmination of months of hands-on and computer-based training and concluded with the simulated boarding of a C-17 for a deployment. "The Mobex is one of the major graded areas for our upcoming ORI and sets the tone for us as we move to the down-range location," said Senior Master Sgt. Danica Sancic, 315 AW ORI lead planner. "Our next ORE will incorporate the positioning-the-force phase as well as sustaining and employing the force and redeployment." "We have begun the building blocks to performing effectively for our ORI and our real world mission," she continued. The exercise began with a warning order followed by an execution order assigning each individual to a passenger
group for processing. Almost 200 Reservists were notified June 3 to report for processing that night and Saturday morning. Members were then bused to the processing line where they received briefings and medical supplies and were provided everything they would need to operate in a deployed environment. From the processing line, participants proceeded to the passenger terminal and were manifested to board a C-17 flight. "The success of the MOBEX is dependent on all personnel being on-time and at the right location, but the lion's share depends greatly on the work of our Unit Deployment Managers and everyone behind the scenes," said Col. Steve Chapman, 315 AW commander. "It takes a large effort to mobilize a joint Reserve and active duty force but with the right attitude and everyone working as a team, the transition will be seamless." Next up for the 315 AW is the second phase of the evaluation process; a fly-away to Gulfport, Miss., in July.

AROUND Moving families can transfer TRICARE Prime enrollment WASHINGTON – Active duty military members and their families who are moving to a new location can now transfer their TRICARE Prime military health plan enrollment with a simple phone call. The enrollment transfer includes a new primary care manager best suited to the location of the service member's work, home and anticipated medical needs, officials said. Moving service members should call their current regional health care contractor to transfer their family's enrollment, and include a cell phone number and email address. The new regional contractor will contact them within five business days after the relocation date to finalize the TRICARE transfer. Officials emphasized that active duty service members and their families will not have to worry about coverage during the transfer process, because they are continuously covered under TRICARE. Once settled, officials said, they can confirm coverage on the Beneficiary Web Enrollment website. Active-duty service members or family members who forget to notify their current regional contractor of their upcoming move still have the option to contact the new regional contractor to transfer enrollment over the phone, officials said. Other options include transferring during military base in-processing, using the Beneficiary Web Enrollment site or downloading and completing an enrollment application, DD Form 2876, to mail. Service members and their families also can visit a local TRICARE service center.
U.S. transfers airspace to Iraq BAGHDAD – Officials at the Airspace Control Authority transferred airspace to Iraq Civil Aviation Authority officials June 1 in what is being called a milestone in Operation New Dawn. The ICAA took over the Ali sector of airspace from surface area to 24,000 feet, assuming control over all aircraft on final approach. Airspace has been transferred to the ICAA in increments since January 2009, but this transfer is the first of its kind, said Maj. Adam Fiedler, a United States Forces-Iraq Air Component Coordination Element-Iraq airspace planner. "The Ali sector is a big milestone because
it's the first airspace they will control down to the surface," Major Fiedler said. "The (cumulating) transfers are important because they turn controls of the airspace back to the host nation civilian authorities and help facilitate our withdrawal from the country." The first transfer occurred Jan. 1, 2009, when the ICAA took responsibility for air traffic control service above 24,000 feet across the entire country. Sept. 1, 2010, saw transfer of airspace from 15,000 to 24,000 feet in the northern third of the country, called the Jabar sector, and on Feb. 15, 2011, the same altitude of airspace transferred in the center third of the country called the Samarra sector. The work accomplished by coalition forces and the Iraqis was a process of "normalizing" Iraq's airspace system, officials said. "The airspace transfer shows confidence in the ICAA's capability to continue to 'normalize' the air traffic control service in the country," said Lt. Col. Gregory Kendrick, a USF-I ACCE-I airspace communications planner. "It also shows improvement in the capabilities of the ICAA's air traffic controllers and their maintenance personnel to maintain critical equipment that provides service to civilian aircraft." Two sectors remain to be transferred later this year. The Kirkuk and Baghdad sectors remain under U.S. control from surface to 15,000 feet. Both are currently scheduled to be transferred by October 2011.
U.S., Chinese leaders note progress on military ties SINGAPORE – U.S. and Chinese defense leaders said they are pleased with the progress the countries are making in reestablishing good military-to-military relations. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Liang Guanglie held bilateral talks during the Shangri-La Dialogue here June 3, the first time the Chinese defense minister has participated in the annual Asia security conference sponsored by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Secretary Gates and General Liang continued discussions that began in January when the secretary visited Beijing. The Chinese suspended contacts with the U.S. military in 2009 in retaliation for the U.S. providing defensive weapons to Taiwan. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao call military-to-military contacts between the two nations "an under-

DOD
developed" part of the broader relationship between the U.S. and China. "In recent months, our two countries have made some progress toward rectifying this imbalance by jointly identifying areas of cooperation," Secretary Gates said at the start of the Shangri-La meeting. Secretary Gates, who will retire as defense secretary at the end of the month, said he believes the U.S.-Chinese military relationship is now on a more positive trajectory. "Going forward, the U.S. and China must do more to work together on issues where we have common strategic interest: piracy, disaster relief and North Korea," he added. The secretary said the two countries agree in many areas, but that it is especially important that leaders continue to work together in areas where there is disagreement. This will allow leaders of both nations to have greater clarity on each other's intentions, he said. "Together, we can show the world the benefits that arise when great nations collaborate on matters of shared interest," Secretary Gates said. The meeting was productive and cordial, said Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell. "It focused on moving forward with the agenda that they set forth during the secretary's visit in January," Mr. Morrell said. "I think overall the meeting focused more on areas of agreement rather than disagreement. Of course, areas of disagreement were raised, but they were sort of acknowledged and moved on from. Far more time was spent on things that collectively need to be done moving forward." General Liang recognized the efforts Secretary Gates has made to advance the military-to-military relationship, Mr. Morrell said. "He noted at least a couple of times that the Chinese side appreciated Secretary Gates' efforts, ... and (that) without his personal efforts, the progress that has been achieved over the past year would not have been possible," Mr. Morrell said. "The secretary thanked General Liang and said in retirement he hopes to monitor the forward progress with a fishing line in hand." The Chinese did raise issues with which they are concerned, including arms sales to Taiwan, a "hyping" of the Chinese military threat and reconnaissance operations off China's coast, said a senior defense official speaking on background. General Liang did bring up the Strategic Security Dialogue put in place following the January meetings, the official said, adding that U.S. officials were encouraged that the

Chinese see this as a beneficial forum for discussion. Officials discussed cyber and maritime issues in the first meeting of the dialogue last month, and officials hope future meetings will discuss nuclear missile defense and space, the official added. "There seemed to be agreement today that it would be worthwhile to dedicate more time to forthcoming discussions," a senior U.S. defense official said. The meeting with General Liang capped a full day of bilateral meetings for the secretary. Secretary Gates also met with Malaysian Prime Minister Mohamed Najib bin Abdul Razak, Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa and Singapore's Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen.
TRICARE joins campaign to increase medication adherence FALLS CHURCH, Va. – TRICARE joined the U.S. surgeon general and other partners recently in Washington D.C. to launch the Script Your Future campaign, which encourages patients to take their medications as directed. The Script Your Future campaign's primary goal is patient education and awareness, focused on patients with three serious chronic conditions: diabetes, respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease. According to the National Consumer League, which leads the campaign, one in three Americans never fills his or her prescription, and nearly three out of four Americans do not take their medications as directed. This trend of poor adherence is linked to one third of hospital admissions. This is especially true for people with chronic health conditions that can worsen quickly without proper medication use. In addition, the NCL reports that up to $290 billion a year in medical costs can be attributed to poor medication adherence. In order to reverse this trend, the Script Your Future campaign encourages patients to properly use medication and medical devices, like asthma inhalers; develop strategies to make it easier to remember to take medications; and communicate with their doctor and pharmacist about all their overthe-counter and prescription medications. The campaign also teaches patients about the negative health affects of poor medication adherence. "The least effective and most expensive pill TRICARE provides is the one a beneficiary never takes," said Rear Adm. Thomas McGinnis, chief of TRICARE pharmacy operations. "Following the labeled directions for prescription medications is one of the easiest ways to help protect and improve overall wellness. Read the instructions carefully and contact a doctor or pharmacist with any questions." The Script Your Future campaign is online at www.scriptyourfuture.org. The website includes tips and tools to help individuals improve adherence. These include a "question builder" to help patients start conversations with their doctor, printable lists to keep track of medications and worksheets to help build a plan to take medication as prescribed.

habits may suffer. Take steps to reduce stress, or learn to deal with stress in healthy ways.
June is designated as Men's Health Month and according to the staff at the Mayo Clinic, the biggest threats to men's health can often be prevented. The list of dangers to men's health, compiled from statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other leading organizations, reflect men's health risks in the United States. Heart disease Heart disease is the leading men's health threat. Take charge of heart health by making healthier lifestyle choices. - Don't smoke. If you smoke or use other tobacco products, ask your doctor to help you quit. It's also important to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke. - Eat a healthy diet. Choose vegetables, fruits, whole grains, high-fiber foods and lean sources of protein such as fish. Limit foods high in saturated fat and sodium. - Manage chronic conditions. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, follow your doctor's treatment recommendations. If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar under control. - Include physical activity in your daily routine. Choose sports or other activities you enjoy, from basketball to brisk walking. - Maintain a healthy weight. Extra pounds increase the risk of heart disease. - Limit alcohol. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. Too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure. - Manage stress. If you feel constantly on edge or under assault, your lifestyle
Cancer Various types of cancer are of particular concern to men, including lung cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. To reduce the risk of cancer, consider these general tips: - Don't smoke. Using any type of tobacco puts you on a collision course with cancer. Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke. - Maintain a healthy weight. Losing excess pounds, and keeping them off, may lower the risk of various types of cancer. - Get moving. In addition to helping you control your weight, physical activity on its own may lower the risk of certain types of cancer. - Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Although making healthy selections at the grocery store and at mealtime can't guarantee cancer prevention, it may help reduce your risk. - Protect yourself from the sun. When you're outdoors, cover up and use plenty of sunscreen. - Limit alcohol. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. The risk of various types of cancer, including cancer of the colon, lung, kidney and liver, increases with the amount of alcohol you drink and the length of time you've been drinking regularly. - Take early detection seriously. Consult your doctor for regular cancer screenings. Accidents Motor vehicle crashes are a leading

Chronic lower respiratory diseases Chronic lung conditions, include bronchitis and emphysema, also are a concern for men. To protect your respiratory health: - Don't smoke. If you smoke, ask your doctor to help you quit. Also avoid exposure to secondhand smoke. - Steer clear of pollutants. Minimize exposure to chemicals and outdoor air pollution. - Prevent respiratory infections. Wash your hands often and get a yearly flu vaccine. Ask your doctor whether you need a pneumonia vaccine. Stroke You can't control some stroke risk factors, such as family history, age and race, but you can control other contributing factors. For example: - Manage chronic conditions. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, follow your doctor's treatment recommendations. If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar under control. - Don't smoke. If you smoke or use other tobacco products, ask your doctor to help you quit. - Make healthy lifestyle choices. Eat a healthy diet, being especially careful to limit foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Include physical activity in your daily routine. If you're overweight, lose

excess pounds. - Limit alcohol. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes, the most common type of Diabetes, affects the way your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Poorly controlled Diabetes can lead to heart disease, eye problems, nerve damage and other complications. To prevent Type 2 Diabetes, get serious about your lifestyle choices. - Eat a healthy diet - Include physical activity in your daily routine - If you're overweight, lose excess pounds Suicide Suicide is another leading men's health risk. An important risk factor for suicide among men is depression. If you have signs and symptoms of depression, such as feelings of sadness or unhappiness and loss of interest in normal activities, consult your doctor. Treatment is available. If you're contemplating suicide, call for emergency medical help or go the nearest emergency room. The bottom line Understanding health risks is one thing, taking action to reduce your risks is another. Start with healthy lifestyle choices - eating a healthy diet, staying physically active, quitting smoking, getting regular checkups and taking precautions in your daily activities. The impact may be greater than you'll ever know. For more information, call the HAWC at 963-4007 or visit your Primary Care Physician.

A little time can save a lot of money Story and photo by Machinist's Mate 3rd Class Brannon Deugan Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs Living paycheck to paycheck is stressful and many families continue to search for ways to stretch their limited funds. For some budget savvy shoppers, the art of couponing has become an easy way to stretch their food dollars and for one military family of eight here at Joint Base Charleston, couponing has dropped their monthly grocery budget by upwards of $1,100.00 per month. Fay McFadden, an Air Force spouse and mother of six children, has learned and mastered the skill of couponing which has eased financial stress for her family. Now she shares her knowledge and life experiences to military members and their spouses by volunteering at the Fleet and Family Service Center at JB CHS-Weapons Station, facilitating the Couponing 101 and 102 courses. "I'm an Air Force spouse. However, I prefer to be called a military spouse because I am here to support all of our military families anyway I can," said Mrs. McFadden. "I know how hard it is to use what is available to get the things that my family needs and how to get the most out of what you have. I want to share with other spouses the way to utilize coupons in budgeting for their families." When FFSC Financial Specialist Kim Brown heard about Mrs. McFadden, she immediately contacted her about offering a course on couponing that would share her success story while encouraging service members and their families to save money through couponing. "It is important to have someone like Fay McFadden because other military spouses can relate to her," said Mrs. Brown. "I think she agreed to volunteer to teach the courses because she has a big passion for saving money, couponing and helping others. About two-years ago, the McFadden family had reached the end of their ropes financially and began to look for ways to maintain their budget. "We tried different things to reduce our debt and to maintain our monthly budget; however, none of those seemed to work for our family's situation," said Tech. Sgt. Jonell McFadden from the 437th Aerial Port Squadron. "Since my wife started couponing, she now comes home from grocery shopping and we still have money left in the bank. We are no longer financially exhausted like we were about two years ago." "From the start, couponing has had a positive effect on our family," he continued. "While staying within our smaller monthly budget, we've been able to stockpile groceries and other household goods so we are less overwhelmed providing for our six children." The McFadden's have successfully reduced their grocery budget from $1,400.00 per in. spends more than $230.00 9.5rarely month to $300.00 per month; however, Mrs. McFadden a month.
Fay McFadden, a Fleet and Family Service Center volunteer, teaches Couponing 101 at FFSC on Joint Base Charleston-Weapons Station, May 18. Mrs. McFadden, a military spouse and a mother of six children, has successfully cut her grocery budget from $1,400 a month to less than $300 a month with effective couponing and shares her couponing knowledge in an effort to educate other military spouses on how to manage their own budgets.
"Since my wife learned how to effectively use coupons she has a personal mission of providing this knowledge to other military families, especially military spouses," said Sergeant McFadden. "She wants to spread the wealth because if our family with six children can save as much as we do, then a family with only two children should be able to save quite a bit also." "I figure if I spend a couple of hours every month teaching military members and their spouses how to handle money without jeopardizing their budget then I'm empowering them to take control of what they have and hopefully help them get out of debt," said Mrs. McFadden. "I want all of our military families to understand they can get to a comfortable place financially where they have the funds to do fun stuff with their families just like my family of eight has been able to do."
