Take-Out policy to change at Joint Base Charleston DFAC

JUSTICE

By Staff Sgt. Anthony Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Courts martial and Article 15s

Due to sequestration, squadrons across Joint Base Charleston have had to make budget cuts to save money. One of the items recently eliminated on base was the take-out service at the Robert D. Gaylor Dining Facility, saving JB Charleston approximately $50,000 per year. Effective immediately, JB Charleston military members, authorized Department of Defense civilians and retirees are allowed to bring their own containers to the DFAC to transfer food items to go. "Public Health has concurred with the policy change as long as the personal containers are not handed over the counter, in and around the serving line area," said Master Sgt. Wesley Tuson, 628th Force Support Squadron Food Service Section chief and Dining Facility manager. "This is to prevent cross contamination and possible food-borne illness." Below is the list of rules when bringing your own containers: 1. Customers must bring a container large enough to transfer food and beverage items. 2. Customers will proceed through the serving line area with a tray and order food items using the DFAC's plates, cups and silverware. 3. Once food is paid for or the meal card is swiped, customers will tran-

sition to the "food transfer area table" and complete the transfer of food and beverages into their own containers. 4. Customers will be responsible for cleaning any residual mess and placing their trays, plates and silverware in the buss cart. "The typical serving sizes still apply regardless of personal carry-out use and what is served at the time," Tuson added. "[Eliminating the take out containers] was not a popular change when it occurred, and with the support of base leadership and the team at Public Health, we were able to creatively change our processes," said Lt. Col. Jennifer Judd, 628th Force Support Squadron commander. "This solution helps meet our financial reduction targets and takes care of our Dining Facility customers who need an option to take out meals and get back to the mission." Also, effective immediately, upon completion of their meals, all customers will need to place their own trays into the bussing carts provided in each dining area, according to Tuson. "I ask that all of our customers remain patient and flexible as we consistently create ways to improve our service at the Gaylor Dining Facility," said Tuson. For more information or concerns, contact Master Sgt. Wesley Tuson at 963-3595.

Commentary by Navy Capt. Mary Kim Kenney-Gutshall Naval Health Clinic Charleston commanding officer As you all know, Department of Defense civilian furloughs began in July. With no exceptions, the 152 civilian staff members at Naval Health Clinic Charleston are dealing with involuntary furloughs one day per week from the pay period that started July 8 and is scheduled to run through Sept. 21. NHCC leadership is extremely proud of and highly values the contributions of our civilian workforce and the furlough should in no way be considered as a statement to the contrary. Some of our beneficiaries have expressed concern over whether or not some patient services will be limited or eliminated due to this lapse in staffing and the answer to that very valid question is, "no." Our staff is meeting, and will continue to meet, the medical needs of our beneficiaries despite the furlough. There will not be a need to suspend the delivery of any health care services at NHCC. The NHCC staff will be able to maintain all current services and appointments. We do ask our beneficiaries during this time to be patient with us as we try to meet everyone's needs with these limitations that have been placed on us. The bottom line is NHCC is committed to providing consistent and quali-

ty patient and family-centered care throughout the furlough period. We will continue to put the patient's needs at the center of all of our decisions made here at NHCC. I personally appreciate the level of professionalism our civilian force has shown in dealing with this situation and I am encouraged when I hear DOD leaders promise they will continue to work with Congress to seek repeal of sequestration and an end to the frustration and mission impact it causes. We could not "lead the way in delivering the best health services" as our command Navy Capt. Mary Kim Kenney-Gutshall vision statement states without the contributions of every part of our total force; active duty, civilian staff, and community partners. Personally, I want to say thank you to all of Joint Base Charleston's civilian personnel for your service to our nation. We are proud to stand beside you. You are our backbone to mission success.

You live in a bad cyber neighborhood Commentary by Maj. Joseph Wingo 628th Communications Squadron commander I grew up in a very small logging town buried deep in the mountains of Oregon. It's the kind of place where people still don't feel the need to lock their doors at night. When I visit my parents, they tease me when I press the button on my key fob to lock my car doors and set the alarm. Growing up, I always felt safe, so I was shocked at what I experienced the first time I moved into a "rough" neighborhood. It was at my first duty station. We were on a two month waiting list for base housing, and I was naive enough to quickly rent a small apartment, close to base, without doing any research on the local area. After we moved in, the landlord informed me that the previous tenant had been evicted for dealing drugs. After a few more days, I came to realize that the guy in the apartment next to us was also dealing drugs. We would regularly wake in the middle of the night to loud and urgent knocking on our door. It was always some strung out user trying to "score a fix." I'd tell them that their drug dealer buddy didn't live here anymore, and then I'd quickly shut and triple lock the door. I awoke to the reality of the world we live in. I learned to use a peep hole before answering the door. I learned to double check the door locks and to

Get to know your Airmen Commentary by Staff Sgt. Anthony Hyatt 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs "It all starts with great NCOs and great supervisors who understand every Airman does have a story," said the general. A part of taking care of people is knowing their stories. "Learn their stories. I am absolutely convinced that if we knew each other better, we would care for each other more," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III during an Air Force Sergeants Association Convention and Professional Airmen's Conference back in August 2012. How many supervisors or leaders can truly say they know their troops? What are the names of their children? What's their spouse's name? Where do they call home? What hobbies do they like? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Why are they in the Air Force? Are they happy? What's going on in their life? What motivates them? I think the questions above are pretty basic. Furthermore, I'm not saying you should be your Airman's best friend. What I'm trying to say is that the Airmen do the job every day! We ask and ask day-in and day-out for Airmen to get the mission done. The least we can do is get to know them. According to 4.1.13 from Air Force Instruction 36-2618, the Enlisted Force Structure, NCOs must take an active leadership and supervisory role by staying involved with subordinates on a daily basis. Use their own experiences and knowledge to mentor others

and assist subordinates in reaching their full potential. It is stated in our "Little Brown Book," that we must do this. I'm not writing this commentary because my past supervisors or present leaders couldn't tell you a thing about their Airmen. I'm writing this commentary, so our current supervisors and future leaders will KNOW who is really working for them and that the flow of the mission continues on. In some cases, some may say, "Well, that Airman really keeps to himself" or "He/she doesn't like to talk to anyone." During a visit to the Air Force Academy in November 2011, Welsh shared a story about a young NCO who he had known at Kunsan Air Base, South Korea. He got to know the Airman, who was an F-16 crew chief, and they met frequently on Welsh's trips along the flight line. Six months into Welsh's command, he was caught by surprise, when the Airman, his supervisor, flight chief, first sergeant and squadron commander showed up [in front of Welsh]. The crew chief had gotten divorced right before he came to Kunsan because his wife was on drugs, and he couldn't get her to stop using them. The NCO's ex-wife won sole-custody because the NCO didn't mention the drug use in the custody hearing, but his daughter was at risk of being placed in foster care when her mother was convicted of selling drugs, according to Welsh. "Let me ask you a really important question: Why didn't I know about his daughter?" Welsh asked. "I saw the guy all the time, talked to him

a couple of times a week. Why didn't I know he had a daughter? It's not complicated: I never asked him." The challenge of leadership means we must seek out this information and not expect for it to be handed to us. We have to remember our most junior members may be reluctant or uncomfortable sharing the sensitive details of their private lives. Find a way to communicate with him/her. If we do this, we will promote a culture where Airmen can believe in their leadership and leadership can rely on their Airmen - thus accomplishing the mission. This doesn't just apply to NCOs - superintendents and unit commanders can also get involved. I understand some squadrons have hundreds of Airmen and to get to know each Airman would be nearly impossible, but it wouldn't hurt to find out something new about them. I'm also not saying every supervisor needs to do this, because there are already supervisors in the Air Force that accomplish this successfully. Take a couple of minutes from your day-today task behind your desk or at your shop and talk to your Airmen. Show your Airmen you really care by getting to know them and the time you spend on this fundamental task will be returned to you as leaders increase morale and effectiveness within their units.

Help is a good thing: colonel, sexual assault survivor recounts experience Commentary by Master Sgt. Amaani Lyle Headquarters Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Public Affairs WASHINGTON – The first in a video series of survivor stories, an Air Force colonel shared her graphic, first-hand experience with sexual assault in 1988. After years of silence about the incident, Col. Pamela Lincoln voluntarily shared her experience with the hope that it might empower other survivors to come forward for the emotional, medical and legal support they need. Interestingly, the path to her participation in this video was not sexual assault, but post-traumatic stress disorder. Lincoln was assigned to Schriever Air Force Base, Colo.,

when she learned a senior NCO in her unit had survived the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting that left 12 people dead and 70 others injured. Among the dead was an Airman who, with the senior NCO, attended the movie that night. "He had this tremendous sense of guilt," Lincoln said of the NCO. "He was open about the fact that he was suffering from PTSD and needed some time off to seek help." Lincoln said the NCO's sense of courage resonated with her. "That was so brave of him to come forward and say, 'I need help,' and that inspired me," the colonel said. "You don't have to be in combat to suffer from PTSD." So when the opportunity arose for her to discuss her own experience, the decision was easy, she said.

"It was like this shot of cold air, the thought of talking about it," Lincoln said. "Getting over panic attacks, sleep deprivation and sudden bursts of anger ... is all part of the healing." The video refers to one night in 1988 three months before she left for Officer Training School. Lincoln worked late and proceeded to walk home when what she assumed was a jogger behind her ended up being the approach of a perpetrator, who viciously strangled, raped and left her unconscious. Lincoln's journey to healing has been long, but if even one Airman comes forward to report their experience after hearing her story, her participation will have been well worth it. "It's actually a strong thing to admit you need help," she said. To see the video and hear more about her reporting and healing process, visit http://afsapr.dodlive.mil/.

#10 MXS battles #1 SFS, captures Intramural Softball Championship By Staff Sgt. Anthony Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs A long softball season that began back in May, finally came to an end when the 10th seeded 437th Maintenance Squadron defeated the number 1 seeded 628th Security Forces Squadron 14-11 in the 2013 Intramural Softball Base Championship July 24, 2013, at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, S.C. The 628th SFS squad, which finished the regular season with a 13 - 3 win/loss record and were named the regular season champions, cruised their way into the championship game by easily defeating the 11th seeded 628th Force Support Squadron 13 - 3 and handling the 6th seeded 628th Civil Engineer Squadron team 8 - 2. "The 628th SFS team started off a little slow this year with a 1 - 2 [win/loss record], but we came together as a team and pulled off 11 straight victories which lead us to the league championship," said Bob Trout, SFS player who completed his 17th year pitching for the cops. The 437th MXS softball team, which finished the regular season 10 - 6, had a much harder path. Due to their low seed, MXS was forced to play an additional game where they beat a scrappy 373rd Training Squadron team 8 -7 on July 22, 2013. With the win, MXS advanced to the next round to face the second seeded 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron, which also finished the regular season with a 13 - 3 record. MXS won the game 16-12, and earned a chance to play against a tough 3rd seed, the 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron in the semifinals. MXS jumped out early on AMXS and was able to win 8 - 6, sending them to the championship

By Damian Wexler, Freelance Health Reporter

ecently, alternative medicine expert Dr. Bryce Wylde, a frequent guest on the Dr. Oz show, revealed a simple secret that amazed millions who suffer with digestion nightmares. And people haven’t stopped talking about it since.

“I’d give anything to make it stop!” That’s what most people will tell you when asked about their digestive problems. “It’s just horrible says Ralph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was tortured for years by my Acid-Reﬂux. Sometimes I’d almost pass out from the pain. My wife suffers with digestion problems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.”

FDA Warns About Popular Antacids A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Especially in people over the age of 50. So when alternative medicine expert Dr. Bryce Wylde discussed an alternative on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to ﬁnd out they could ﬁnally get relief without having to rely on Prevecid®, Nexium®, Prilosec® and other dangerous antacids. But now, according to Dr. Wylde, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract. It’s as simple as that!

Stop Stomach Agony Your stomach naturally produces acid so strong, it can dissolve an aluminum spoon in just 30 minutes! And when excess acid escapes into your esophagus, throat and stomach lining, it unleashes the scorching pain of Acid-Reﬂux, heartburn, ulcers and more misery. Add the problems of stress, and “all hell breaks loose.” Dr. Liza Leal, a well known expert on chronic pain management explains... “The AloeCure® can work genuine miracles. It buffers high acid levels with amazing speed. So your stomach feels completely at ease just moments after drinking it.” In fact, it could wipe out stomach pain, discomfort, and frantic runs to the bathroom.

Until Now, Little Could Be Done... But “AloeCure® can help virtually anyone. Even people with chronic stomach pain can feel better right away,” says Dr. Leal. And what’s really exciting is AloeCure® aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy, so intestinal distress stops coming back.

Television host and best selling author Dr. Bryce Wylde explains how a new aloe-vera extract can make bouts of heartburn, acid-reﬂux, constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and other stomach nightmares disappear!

At ﬁrst, the thought of drinking aloe vera might make some people back away. But in fact, this delicious “digestion cocktail” is doing amazing things for people who suffer with stomach problems --- even if they’ve had them for years. Here’s how it works…

Talk Show Doctor Reveals Digestion Remedy That Works Instantly!

Your ﬁrst line of defense is calcium malate. This natural acid buffer instantly sends stomach acid levels plunging. And holds acid levels down so they don’t return!

Digestion Defender #2: Instant, Soothing Relief AloeCure® is brimming with polysaccharides, a “wonder” compound that gently coats the throat, esophagus and stomach, carrying instant relief to cells scorched by excess acid.

Here’s What Doctors Are Saying! AloeCure® is backed by important scientific studies that confirm... aloe calms stomach acid and allows your body to heal itself. Dr. Liza Leal, M.D & Chief Medical Officer at Meridian Medical. says, “That’s why I recommend it to patients who suffer from bouts of heartburn, Acid-Reflux, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome...”

Dr. Bryce Wylde, frequent guest on the Dr. Oz show and author of the best selling book, Wylde on Health Dr. Santiago Rodriguez agrees. “Just two ounces of AloeCure® reduces the acids in your stomach by ten times.” Francisco DeWeever, a Certiﬁed Nutritional Microscopist, “My patients report their IBS, Crohn’s, Colitis, Constipation, Acid-Reﬂux and a host of other digestive problems have all but disappeared.” Dr. Bryce Wylde says that pure Aloe Vera extract like AloeCure® may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health!

Real Customer Testimonial: For the better part of my life I purposely avoided a lot of foods. Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn't, I'd experience a burning sensation through my esophagus- like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that those disgusting "mini-throw ups" and I was in "indigestion hell". Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return. Then one day at dinner, a friend of mine said, "Why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said, "Aloe drink? Jeez. That doesn't sound good at all!" The next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure®. I was shocked! AloeCure® tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape ﬂavor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPIs altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®. Then something remarkable happened NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion. And here's the best part. The next day we had Italian food - my worst enemy. But for the ﬁrst time in 40 years I didn't need pills or tablets to avoid indigestion. Thank you AloeCure®! - Ralph Burns

Safe And Easy To Use With no sugar, no stimulants, and zero calories, AloeCure® is safe, all-natural and has absolutely no side effects. It’s tasty, drug-free, and simple to use. Just drink two ounces, once in the morning, and once at night, and start enjoying immediate life-changing relief!

Try It 100% Risk-Free! The makers of AloeCure® have agreed to send you up to 6 FREE bottles PLUS 2 free bonus gifts with your order— they’re yours to keep no matter what. That’s enough AloeCure® for 30 days of powerful digestive relief, absolutely free! But hurry! This is a special introductory offer, reserved for our readers only. But you must call now!
