Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Tom Brading Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs (Editor's Note: For more than 20 years, the C-17 Globemaster III has delivered rapid air mobility at a moment's notice all around the world. With the last U.S. Air Force C-17 scheduled to roll off the Boeing assembly line Sept. 12, 2013, we look back on the continuing impact this signature Charleston aircraft makes to the United States Air Force through our series, "Before the last C-17.")

One Joint Base Charleston pilot isn't just bringing home the last C-17 to join Joint Base Charleston's Globemaster III fleet this September, he was also here when the first C-17 arrived.

Lt. Col. Doug Soho, 437th Operations Group chief of standards and evaluations, grew up in the small town of Plymouth, Mich., a city popular for its ice sculpture festival. He let his dreams soar from the icy lands of the Great Lakes to the skies of Charleston, S.C., as a C-17 Globemaster III pilot in the U.S. Air Force.

Lt. Col. Doug Soho, 437th Operations Group chief of standards and evaluations, has dedicatSoho's history with the C-17 dates back to the ed his career to flying heavy airlift for the U.S. Air Force. Soho is scheduled to be one of the arrival of the first C-17 at Charleston Air Force Base, pilots on the last C-17 to join JB Charleston’s Globemaster fleet. more than 20 years ago.

One of the first times Soho noticed the capabilities of the aircraft was "I can't believe it's already been 20 years," said Soho, thinking back to the first C-17 arrival. "Getting the first C-17 was interesting to say the least. It when an Abrams M1 battle tank was loaded onto the back of the aircraft. didn't take up that much more space on the flight line, yet was able to carry Weighing in at 67.6 short tons, standing eight-feet tall and 12-feet wide, it more cargo and able to land in much more obscure locations. It had all- was an incredible feat watching the tank being loaded onto the plane, as well as being unloaded. around better performance and capabilities than any aircraft like it."

"From a flying perspective, it took years to see the true capabilities of According to Soho, for pilots, the C-17 was like going from the analog the C-17," said Soho. "However, during contingencies in Iraq and age to the digital age.

"From the glass cockpit, with lit-up screens, to the overall capabilities Afghanistan, the aircraft really shined with its abilities to carry as much as of the aircraft, it was a huge step forward in avionics technology," said it does into remote landing fields at a moment's notice."

EFMP, understanding what might truly be ... exceptional Commentary by Master Sgt. Joseph Helferich 628th Communications Squadron first sergeant According to Department of Defense instruction, family members identified with special medical or educational needs, including a spouse, child or a dependent adult, are required to enroll in the Exceptional Family Member Program. This includes family members who: • Require special medical services for a chronic condition such as asthma, attention deficit disorder, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, etc.

• Receive ongoing services from a medical specialist • Have significant behavioral health concerns • Receive early intervention or special education services through an individualized education program or individualized family service plan What all of this doesn't tell you, especially new supervisors, is each and every case is different.

You might have known someone during a previous assignment who had a family member with a

disability and they didn't have very many issues.

Then you reported to a new assignment and one of your Airmen is facing a similar situation, but is asking for what seems to be a lot more time off for appointments, meetings, etc. Before deciding if the extra time is valid, you need to find out what that person's unique situation is and then make an informed decision. It is quite possible your Airman doesn't know all the resources available to them and are overwhelmed trying to shoulder the burden alone.

Some of the resources on and around Joint Base Charleston are the Exceptional Family Member Program Coordinator office, Parents Reaching Out to Parents of South Carolina, and the Family Connection.

The Exceptional Family Member Program Family Support is the community support function provided by the Airman & Family Readiness Center and includes, but is not limited to, on and off-base information and referral, parent training, support groups, relocation assistance, financial

Avoiding retreat is cowardly Commentary by Jo Rowe 81st Inpatient Operations Squadron KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. – It was one of the first beautiful days in a very long while in and around Bolling Air Force Base, District of Columbia. Rain was predicted, but I was hoping it would hold out until I completed the walk to my on-base residence.

As I was about to walk out of the Maisey Building, I noticed three enlisted members, three officers and one civilian with her newborn waiting by the exit doors; such a big pile-up for this time of day.

My heart sank. Could it be those deep blue skies and white puffy clouds turned dark gray with huge raindrops just waiting to signal the burst? Or was the rolling of the thunder and the dancing of the lightning enough to crowd everyone back into the building until the coast was clear? Nope...Neither.

To my extreme disappointment, these people were "self locked" inside, because they didn't want to be caught outside during the playing of our

national anthem.

I was very saddened.

As my husband and I approached the door, everyone parted for us to get past. As we were walking through the doors, the music stopped.

Everyone piled out as if a store had just announced 75 percent off at a day-after-Christmas sale.

I said to my husband, "You know what, honey?

I am really sickened when I see people who refuse to come outside and acknowledge our nation anthem. Have they forgotten that this song, along with other things, stands for our freedom? What are they afraid of? The cowards!"

Even I, a dependent spouse at that time, am familiar with the courtesies we are supposed to observe when the national anthem is being played.

Even though my husband was shocked to hear me call people whom I did not know cowards, he said he understood.

I have always felt this way. If you appreciate what you have, who you are and where you come from, you should appreciate the national anthem and all it represents.

My husband tried to tell me that hiding like that was, indeed, against military courtesies, but I tuned him out as I continued to ramble on about how insensitive I felt these people were.

What on earth was keeping those folks from standing proud and saluting or placing their hand over their hearts? No excuse is acceptable.

So I looked around as everyone rushed to their cars and I thought of the men and women fighting for our freedom. I thought of how proud I am of each and every one of them and how they wouldn't be proud of those Americans who chose to stay inside instead of coming out to salute their flag -the very item that drapes the coffins of our fallen to their final resting place.

Maybe my words here will help change for the better, the courtesies we render, or ought to render, during reveille and retreat on base.

Don't cower from the nation anthem. Be proud.

Go outside and salute the flag, or place your hand over your heart and stand tall. If not for yourself, then do it for your American brothers and sisters fighting to keep you free.

VA reaches out to veterans about the health care law Courtesy of the Air Force Retiree News Service WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs has launched an awareness campaign and a new website, www.va.gov/aca, to let veterans know what the Affordable Care Act means for them and their families. Veterans receiving health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs will see no change in their benefits or out-of-pocket costs when portions of the Affordable Care Act take effect next year.

“VA wants all veterans to receive health care that improves their health and well-being,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “If you are enrolled in VA health care, you do not need to take any additional steps to meet the health care law coverage standards. If you are not enrolled in VA health care, you can apply at any time.”

“VA encourages eligible veterans who are not enrolled in VA’s health care system to take advantage of the world-class care we provide to the men and women who have served this nation in uniform,” Shinseki added.

Veterans can apply for VA health care at any time by visiting www.va.gov/healthbenefits/ enroll, calling 877-222-8387, or visiting their local VA health care facility. Full details on eligibility are available here.

VA’s health care system for veterans has no enrollment fee, no monthly premiums and no deductibles. Most veterans also have no out-ofpocket costs, though some may have small copayments for some health care or prescription drugs.

“VA will continue to provide veterans with high quality, comprehensive health care and other benefits they have earned through their service,” said Dr. Robert Petzel, VA’s chief physician and under secretary for health.

The Affordable Care Act was created to expand access to coverage, reduce rising health care costs, and improve health care quality and care coordination. The Affordable Care Act creates new opportunities for coverage for uninsured veterans and their families.

There are more than 1.3 million veterans and more than 950,000 spouses and children of veter-

ans without health insurance. Most uninsured veterans are eligible for VA health care. For those who are not eligible for VA care – such as veterans’ family members – the law created a new Health Insurance Marketplace.

In 2014, the Marketplace will be a new way to shop for and purchase private health insurance.

People who purchase insurance through the Marketplace may be able to lower the costs of health insurance coverage by paying lower monthly premiums. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov.

For information about VA health care and the Affordable Care Act, people can visit the new website or call 877-222-8387, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., or Saturdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Eastern time. The new website includes a Health Benefits Explorer, where veterans can learn about the benefits they can receive if they enroll in VA care.

announcement, the secretary said he would try to reduce the number of days without endangering training and maintenance," a senior defense official, speaking on background, told reporters after the memo was issued.

The savings and reprogramming allowed the department to accomplish two goals, he said.

First, there were "modest improvements" in training. The Air Force has been able to return squadrons to flying, and the Army has been able to fund organizational training. Second, the department was able to reduce furlough days.

"While this is positive news for the department and for our valued civilian workers, ... we're still facing some major challenges," the senior official said. "Military readiness is degraded heading into 2014. We still need several months and substantial funding to recover. And yet, 2014 is a year that will feature great uncertainty, ... and it may feature some additional austerity."

The budget for fiscal year 2014 is up in the air.

"Secretary Hagel wants to assure our civilian employees that he will do everything possible to avoid imposing furloughs again next year," the official said.

In his memo, Hagel thanked the civilian workforce "for their patience and continued dedication to our mission during these extraordinarily tough times and for their continued service and devotion to our department and our country."

Before the last C-17, part II: Flying there and back Continued from Page 1

U.S. Air Force photo / Airman 1st Class Tom Brading

Lt. Col. Doug Soho, 437th Operations Group chief of standards and evaluations, has dedicated his career to flying heavy airlift for the U.S. Air Force. Soho is scheduled to be one of the pilots on the last C-17 to join JB Charleston’s fleet of Globemasters.

Before Soho flew missions into the hot deserts of Southwest Asia, he flew the C-17 on a much different mission into Antarctica as part of Operation Deep Freeze. Soho was a part of missions that flew into the winter-over bases at the South Pole for six years to resupply U.S. Antarctic bases while stationed at McChord Air Force Base, Wash.

"Missions into Antarctica are very unique, much different than the wartime mission," said Soho. "Flying in extremely cold temperatures, at extremely high altitudes and oftentimes having nowhere to land the aircraft can be very dangerous. Supplies for Operation Deep Freeze are airdropped in during the winter months, when landing is impossible and the ski-way is out of service."

According to Soho, it takes a lot of confidence as a pilot to take part in Operation Deep Freeze, but it also takes a lot of confidence in the aircraft the pilot is flying. And, Soho wouldn't have wanted to be in any other aircraft than the C-17.

"A lot of people have a certain perception of pilots, but it's not like you see on the movies," said Soho. "It's rewarding, but it's not all fun. These young men and women are working their tails off for extremely long days, at times working more than 20-hour work days while we ask them to go into harm's way. Our young pilots work hard to keep the aircrew and aircraft safe, while moving the mission along successfully every day."

The last C-17, scheduled to arrive Sept. 12, 2013, at JB Charleston - Air Base doesn't mean it's the last C-17 being produced.

The men and women at the Boeing Company will continue to produce C-17s, filling contracts all around the world. And despite the fact the last C-17 to arrive at JB Charleston may be the last new C17 the base receives, the airlift mission will continue.

"It's been more than 20 years since the arrival of the first C-17," said Soho. "And, that first plane is still in the air flying the same missions the last one will soon be doing. It's the end of the production line for the U.S. Air Force, but this eagle has just started flying."

Soho is scheduled to be one of the pilots on the last C-17 as it flies into JB Charleston.

Biking group stays active physically in the community Story and photos by Senior Airman Jared Trimarchi Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs Marrington Plantation, more than 1,600 acres of woodlands on Joint Base Charleston – Weapons Station, has many visitors each year who enjoy hunting, hiking, picnicking, fishing, wildlife watching and mountain biking.

Although there aren’t any mountains in the LowCountry, that fact doesn’t stop members of the Low Country Fat Tire Freaks from getting on their mountain bikes and hitting the dirt trails in Marrington. The Freaks are a group of 400 riders from JB Charleston and the local community.

“Low Country Fat Tire Freaks is a local group of great people who maintain the Marrington trail system through volunteering,” said Tech. Sgt. Nathan Swab, 628th Communications Squadron quality assurance evaluator and LCFTF member. “All of the members love to ride trails, are very friendly and have a passion for the outdoors and helping people. We have members from all skill levels including those who have been riding their whole lives and those who have just picked up the sport.”

Off-road biking is more than just a sport for the members of the LCFTF, said Swab. It is a great way to socialize, meet friends and head outdoors.

“I ride the trails because it is a great workout and because it’s also a great way to meet people,” Swab said. “I have met people who work on the base through this group. I’ve met countless Sailors, Airmen, civilians and community leaders.”

Keeping the more than 19 miles of trails at Marrington open year-round requires a large amount of manual labor and dedication.

“Quarterly, the LCFTF will get together and help clean up the trail by picking up sticks and loose debris, cutting down roots and stumps and trimming the bushes that overgrow on the trail,” Swab said. “Volunteering to keep the trail safe and

looking good is a great way to feel you are making a difference in the community.”

According to Donn Watts, JB Charleston’s natural resources technician and creator of the Marrington trail system, the trail would not be what it is today without the help of the volunteers from the LCFTF. “The trail is in amazing shape even with all the rain we’ve had this year because the members of the group are following the rules and helping keep the trails looking nice,” Watts said. “Not riding on a wet trail is one of the fundamental rules of off-road biking. This is one of the main ways trails can be destroyed.

Luckily we have a group of people who respect each other and want to see the trail being used for many years in the future.”

In addition to following the restrictions of not riding on a wet trail, wearing a helmet is mandatory on JB Charleston on and off the trail.

“Even though I wouldn’t consider the Marrington trail system to be extremely difficult, wearing a helmet is a must,” Swab said. “Even professionals wear helmets. It’s a good idea to be protected.”

Jon Finney, a resident of West Ashley who has been riding at Marrington for the past six years and is a member of the LCFTF said, “It’s a great deal to get to ride the trails on the base. I also enjoy going on group rides with the other members of the group.”

The trail system in Marrington has two main loops: The Red Loop and the Foster’s Creek Loop.

“If you are new to trail riding, I would recommend starting on the Red Loop,” Swab said. “Join us for a group ride and we are more than willing to show a new rider the proper technique and tips that will help them become a better rider. If you don’t own a mountain bike, we can help you find one, or you can rent one from the Outdoor Adventure Center. We are always looking for new members.”
