Deputy Director of basing visits JB Charleston

By Airman 1st Class Tom Brading Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Joint basing is a lot like family. A family, like the military, finds their strength through the loyalty they have for each other. They can also experience growing pains and be tested to overcome obstacles. Nobody knows this more than Col. Charles Perham, Office of Secretary of Defense, Pentagon, Washington, D.C. He is both a family man and works as deputy director of basing, which oversees 12 joint bases throughout the Department of Defense, including Joint Base Charleston. Perham visited JB Charleston Aug. 8 through 10, where he met with Airmen and Sailors from the Air Base and Weapons Station. The highlight of his visit was a presentation to Team Charleston leadership titled 'Joint Basing 101'. Perham first met with Team Charleston leadership Aug. 9, as he visited JB Charleston Weapons Station commands: He toured Wharf Alpha, the Nuclear Power Training Unit, Naval Munitions Command and Army Strategic Logistics Activity Charleston. "Joint basing aims at innovation," said Perham. "It uses indirect and direct practices to hit targets, such as financial and mission efficiency." According to Perham, indirect practices cannot be measured or determined through charts and graphs. However, they are just as important. Indirect practices are found in the day-to-day activities of JB Charleston Airmen and Sailors. One example of this practice could be a Sailor and Airman using their different military backgrounds to overcome one challenge as a team. The direct practices are through manpower and measured performance. JB Charleston supports 53 Department of Defense and federal agencies, along with nearly 80,000 Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, civilians, dependents and retirees. "Although JB Charleston supports every branch of the military, their individual cultures are important to preserve," said Perham. "Communication among the respective services is paramount, but doesn't have to compromise the service's heritage." According to Perham, the goal of joint basing is efficiency. "Change is difficult," said Perham, in regards to joint basing. "Often, there can be growing pains, such as the services having different sets of requirements for things like inspections and policy writing; it's been challenging. However, nearly two years into joint basing here, look at the ground that has been harvested." Perham's expectation for JB Charleston in the future is to become a more bonded 'joint base family.'

Colonel Charles Perham, Deputy Director of Basing at Office of the Secretary of Defense, Pentagon, Washington, D.C. speaks with Joint Base Charleston leadership Aug. 9, 2012, during his visit to Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, S.C. Perham visited several units at JB Charleston Aug. 8 to 10 to discuss joint basing issues.

Although more American bases around the world could become joint installations in the future, there are currently no plans in action. "Joint basing is here to stay," said Perham. "JB Charleston is an excellent example of joint basing, and it's the responsibility of everyone here to educate others, outside of Charleston, on how joint basing works. The Common Output Level Standards performance numbers, required of each joint base, show us at the Pentagon how well JB Charleston is working. It also indicates how well JB Charleston will flourish in the future." COLS performance assessments are measured quarterly and act as a "base report card" showing how well the base operates as a whole. JB Charleston continues to score well

in every category. "The number of tenant units at JB Charleston make joint basing here challenging, but also a unique experience," said Perham. "The men and women here are doing an amazing job at making joint basing work. They should hold their head high in knowing that they're performing ahead of their peers, and their successes are something to be proud of."

NOTICE: JB CHARLESTON PERSONNEL

COMMENTARY

Commentary by Gen. Mark Welsh, III Air Force Chief of Staff

Last week, I was sworn in as the 20th Chief of Staff of our Air Force. It was a pretty humbling experience. Since I haven't met most of you, I thought my first move as CSAF should be to say hi. You'll probably get tired of hearing me say that "every Airman has a story," but it's true, and I'm no different. My story starts with family. My dad, who was the greatest patriot, officer, and leader I've ever known, taught me that no rank or title would ever be as important as the unit patch I wore. Today, I wear the Air Force patch, and my family has grown to 690,000 active, Guard, Reserve, and civilian Airmen, all serving as part of an unbeatable Joint team. YOU are what makes our Air Force the best the world has ever known!

A letter to the 18th Air Force Airmen

Commentary by Lt. Gen. Darren McDew 18th Air Force commander

To the Airmen of our great global mobility enterprise: thank you! Last week I had the honor of becoming your 18th Air Force Commander. I can honestly say there are few experiences more rewarding and humbling than command, and even more so when it is command of our Air Force's largest Numbered Air Force. Although my recent assignments were outside of our enterprise, my heart never left it. I have proudly watched your accomplishments while I was gone, and Evelyn and I are extremely happy to be back with you. We have been, and always will be, a proud Mobility family. Like you, I understand that the important work of our Nation is impossible without the capabilities we bring. We extend a hand of hope to our friends and those in need, a clenched fist to our enemies, and ultimately answer the call that ensures others can prevail. The bottom line is that we are the best at what we do! As highly valued members of the world's greatest joint team, we will remain in demand whatever happens in any one place in our global AOR, whether Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere. In a constantly changing operational environment, the one thing we can count on is an insatiable demand for mobility. In short, we are in a time of completion, execution, and preparation. In that near term that means as our operations in Afghanistan transition into a new phase, we'll execute our retrograde and redeployment and prepare for tomorrow's demands.

None of us have a crystal ball, so I can't tell you exactly what tomorrow holds. However, we do know that resources will be increasingly constrained. Up until now we have lived with tremendous abundance and high operations tempo, but tomorrow will undoubtedly present new challenges. My job, and yours, is to lead the change that will make us more effective and efficient in the face of those challenges. Obviously, I owe you some specific answers on exactly how we will codify, sustain, and strengthen Lt. Gen. McDew our enterprise. But don't forget that shaping the future is our collective responsibility. It will require you to be innovative and to set the conditions for your people to deliver on that innovation. It is my belief that we will be successful based on a strong core of leadership principles that make the mission our number one job, that force us to exemplify and demand the best performance from our people, that ensure we remain safe and disciplined in our operations, and are loyal to our commanders, subordinates, families, and each other. I look forward to hearing from you as I visit each of your units: your innovative ideas, concerns for the future, and thoughts on how we can do better. We have hard work ahead of us, but it is my pledge to you that I will be right there beside you as we do it. Together,we will be successful as we continue to answer the call as we always have. Thank you for you selfless and dedicated service!

"Is your job fun?" It’s more than that Commentary by Col. Justin Davey 628th Mission Support Group commander

"Is your job fun?" my son asked me one evening. It was an innocuous question that left me speechless, unable to answer succinctly. Fun? ... Generally rewarding, fulfilling and worthwhile, but simultaneously fatiguing, frustrating, and at times, all-consuming. Don't misunderstand me; I love my job and know it's my calling. However, it dawned on me that probably no work set before me has been "fun" since I was allowed to help my mom wash dishes for the first time. We all remember, as kids, how it didn't take long for the fun to wear off of each new chore. Nonetheless, my son's question was before me and has since led to much philosophical discussion in the Davey house. A child's perception of fun and work these days is heavily influenced by the entertainment and advertising industries. Video games stylishly portray virtual combat as a great source of amusement in the comfort of your own home. Hollywood and Madison Ave. entice us to want to live like the stars - rich, good-looking and always smiling. That seems to be how pop culture defines a winner, but it is an illusion based on self-gratifi-

cation. There is more to this life - meaningful endeavors that can't be resolved in an hour, including commercials, or with the press of the reset button. Pop culture depicts fulfillment as a condition devoid of struggles and synonymous with a life of ease. That is a fallacy. I do find my job fulfilling, but it is not easy. Most days are a compilation of struggles of varying intensities. Strangely, that is what makes work attractive to me. The very frustrations, challenges and struggles I manage daily are the seeds that give birth to motivation to strive to make things better - to seek positive change in the product, the process, in others and oneself. To accomplish anything worthwhile, a price must be paid. To do the right thing and do things right takes a sustained effort. This reality is perhaps most evident in the profession-of-arms where we expend blood and resources daily to maintain our nation's security and safeguard the spread of democracy in a hostile world. On the field of battle and in many deployed locations, normally simple tasks become extraordinarily difficult and often dangerous. However, one does not have to be a combat veteran to display the mental toughness and discipline needed to be successful. What is required is the unshakable tenacity to pursue one's goals,

day-in and day-out, in the face of current reality. Such reality may consist of pain, hopelessness, lack of resources, family separation or any other obstacle that causes one to struggle ... to fall. Most assuredly, we will sometimes fall. However, personal success is not gauged on winning every race, but on whether you rise each time you fall, again and again, day after day. It's tenacity that defines the true winners in life, those who run with perseverance the race marked out for them. Who doesn't cheer for the underdog athlete, the single parent or the wounded warrior who refuses to give up in the face of overwhelming odds, even though the struggle seems interminable? They don't push forward for the fun of it, but because they have a commitment to their team, their family, their nation and themselves. So is my job fun? No, it's more than that. I consider it a blessing ... a satisfying avenue to put my abilities to the test in the service of others. How fortunate we all are to live in a country that values that ideal. Cherish your successes, no matter how big or small, but remember fulfillment comes from the process of overcoming adversity. Run with endurance so you can finish the race and honorably complete each task set before you.

Diamond Tips: Be wary of DMAA

Commentary by Master Sgt. Jadirra Walls 437th Maintenance Group first sergeant

If you happen to be taking one of the popular energy and weight loss supplements that contain DMAA, you may have realized these products can't be found on base anymore. That's because there have been reports of products containing DMAA, also known as dimethylamylamine, causing heart attacks. The Department of Defense has pulled the potentially dangerous sup-

plements from base GNC stores pending further investigation. At this time, Air Force and Navy members are currently recommended not to use any items containing DMAA even though they can be legally purchased at off-base locations. As always, before starting any dietary or workout supplements you are encouraged to consult your Primary Care Manager to discuss any potential dangers, plus this will give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. We want a fit military to help achieve mission success, but not by risking your personal health taking unsafe supplements. See you at the gym!

Naval Health Clinic Charleston aces inspection

Story and photo by Jeff Kelly NHCC Public Affairs

Naval Health Clinic Charleston successfully underwent inspections by the Navy Medical Inspector General and the Joint Commission from Aug. 7 through 9, to ensure the clinic is providing quality health care to all beneficiaries. The Joint Commission surveys health care facilities throughout the nation to ensure safety and quality of care standards are being met, while supporting performance improvement with targeted recommendations. NHCC is assessed every three years and this on-site survey is an important part of the reaccreditation process. "The survey team told us repeatedly how impressed they were with the competence and professionalism of our staff," said Capt. Mary Kim KenneyGutshall, NHCC commanding officer. "The Joint Commission survey is an external evaluation of the quality and safety of care we provide. A positive evaluation is an independent indication of the great work we do every day. We not only met the standards of their inspection, we set benchmarks for the rest of the health care community to follow. We had no major findings which is remarkable. This was an overwhelming success." As part of their survey, the Joint Commission spoke with various staff

members, including administrators and medical providers, and evaluated processes ranging from patient safety goals to complex sterilization procedures. The staff of NHCC also successfully passed their IG inspection. The role of the IG is to review all aspects of the command, including the delivery of health care from the beneficiary's perspective, paying close attention to access to care, patient satisfaction and TRICARE issues. While at the clinic, more than 70 different programs were inspected, Naval Health Clinic Charleston Director for Staff including education and Education and Training, Lt. Cmdr.

Updating your DEERS information helps your healthcare team By Maj. Merritt Brockman 628th Medical Group TRICARE Flight commander

Whatever your military status; active duty, Reservist, retired or dependent, your registration in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System is an integral part for many aspects of military life and especially necessary with respect to establishing your TRICARE eligibility. Without your enrollment in DEERS or an enrollment with the correct information, beneficiaries could find their coverage has lapsed, leaving problems with TRICARE claims. But did you know that not updating DEERS hinders your healthcare team's ability to contact you? Our medical information systems are populated from the information in DEERS. So, incorrect addresses and phone numbers can lead to difficulties for your doctors and nurses

in contacting you, to relay important health information, or for our appointment reminder system to work properly. updating Fortunately, DEERS is very easy and subsequent updates to the medical information systems happen almost instantaneously. DEERS updates should be made every time you reenlist, transfer, have a change in your dependents' status (marriage, divorce, or new child), move or change your phone number. In instances where your marital status has changed or you have added a member to your family, visit your local Military Personnel Section with the appropriate paperwork (marriage license, divorce decree, birth certificate/certificate of live birth or adoption certificate). Registering your newborn or newly adopted child is extremely important and should be done prior to the

newborn or adopted child's first medical appointment. Register your new child in DEERS as soon as possible, to prevent potential safety complications in the future. Enrolling children in the medical system before enrolling them in DEERS can cause duplicate electronic medical records and may hinder your child's ability to have one consolidated health record with all of their future pertinent information, i.e. medication allergies or serious health conditions. However, updates from DEERS to the medical systems happen so quickly, you can enroll your new child into TRICARE immediately following your appointment at the MPS. For changes to information like address, e-mail or phone number, service members can go to www. dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect. Additionally, spouses and dependents can make

changes to DEERS in the service member's absence (during a deployment), as long as they have a valid power of attorney (general power of attorney or a special power of attorney specifically for DEERS transactions) with them when they visit the MPS. Updating your DEERS information helps your healthcare team continue to provide the best medical care to all of our past, present and future heroes. If you have any questions regarding registering in DEERS, contact Maj. Merritt Brockman at 963-6708 or email: merritt.brockman@ us.af.mil.

Airmen, Sailors challenged to “build a boat”

By Gary Grove 628th Force Support Squadron marketing

Since duct tape is the universal fix-all tool, why not use it to build something fun - like a boat. But, you need something else to help shape the boat - so why not use a water-friendly material ... say cardboard? Hey, cardboard started out as wood, so it should float, right? Think you have the ingenuity to make this work? The 628th Force Support Squadron is putting out the challenge to all Joint Base Charleston units and squadrons to build the best "two-sailor" boats possible and have them race-ready for the "Build-A-Boat" competition which will set sail Aug. 31 at 3 p.m. Competition will be held in the Air Base swimming pool and the New Wave Aquatics Center pool on the Weapons Station. Boats will race in four-ship heats through a bracket system. The boat that stays afloat and carries two people 50 meters in the shortest time moves on to the next bracket. Losers get shore duty.

Although this a "shallow water" event, plenty of certified rescue swimmers (lifeguards) will be manning the rails to pull out any shipmates in need of assistance. The challenge will be held rain or shine. All teams must register at their respective Fitness Centers by close-of-business Aug. 28. Teams also can sign-up by sending an email to 2nd Lt. Amanda Wineman, 628th FSS. Squadrons and units may sign up more than one team. After the boating competition, there will be a Cornhole tournament at Rookies at the Charleston Club and also at The Dive at the Weapons Station. Teams from the Build-ABoat races will be given priority placement in this tournament, but it is open to everyone at both venues. Cornhole players are asked to register in advance, but can sign up as late as the day of the tournament. These events are free and open to all units stationed at JB Charleston. For more information contact the challenge director, Capt. Jessica Colman, 628th FSS, at Jessica.colman@us.af.mil or call 963-3815.

On the front lines of history, home and abroad

Story and photos by Airman 1st Class Tom Brading Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

From its origin on Sept. 18, 1947, countless chapters of the Air Force story have been filled with brave men and women and their tales of heroism, sacrifice and dedication. They have overcome obstacles in the face of multiple enemies, and even through dire times, they continue to give us hope, inspiration and courage to carry on their legacy. Yet without a historian collecting, documenting and preserving their stories, what would happen to our Airmen's legacy? The pages of Air Force history are preserved by base historians, including Stan Gohl, 437th Airlift Wing historian. However, to Gohl, being a historian is much more than a job, it's a passion. "I am very proud of my service to the Air Force," said Gohl, a 21-year retired Air Force veteran. "My pride in the Air Force makes me a better historian. I had this much pride in honoring Air Force history when I was a senior-enlisted leader years ago." As a historian, Gohl does a variety of things, such as helping people find military records of their loved ones and teaching the importance of history during training courses. "Compared to the Army and Navy, the Air Force is young," said Gohl. "We may not have hundreds of years of culture yet, but our Airmen are on the front lines of their history, leading the world into space and cyberspace. As we continue to find our voice within the military landscape, our logo may have changed, but one thing has remained: the importance of maintaining and knowing our service history." According to Gohl, he has met Airmen that have only glanced at their Air Force history when studying for promotion. "History is worth more than just a couple points on a promotion test," said Gohl. "It's a family heritage you hold onto, its something you're willing to fight or even die for. The more you know about your service history, the more pride you have in it." As a base historian, Gohl does something most other civilians don't. He deploys. In 2010, while deployed to Southeast Asia with the 438th Airlift Wing as a civilian historian, Gohl was requested to document missions from the front lines, regardless of conditions or safety. However, trading in his books and old news-

papers meant picking up an assault rifle and Kevlar vest. To him, it was an even trade. "How can I document our history or tell our Airmen's stories without experiencing it with them?" said Gohl. "I saw more of Afghanistan than most ever will, while either flying over the countryside or driving through the cities on convoys." While on a convoy, the only difference between Gohl and the service members he was deployed with was a nametag. He spoke their language, dressed in their battle gear and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them during the worst situations. He just simply loved doing the mission. "When they needed me, I was there," said Gohl, thinking back to his deployment. "I'd stand guard and monitor the command post, with my rifle in hand, just as if I was Stan Gohl, 437th Airlift Wing historian, looks through historical documents at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, S.C. Gohl has been assigned to JB Charleston - Air Base for five active-duty. Most of the men and years as a civilian and is a retired Air Force master sergeant. women I served with didn't realize I wasn't. I'd do it all over again if I could." Unfortunately for Gohl, the second deployment never came. After his deployment, Gohl traded his Kevlar vest for a collared shirt and returned to his quiet office at JB Charleston Air Base. However, shortly after returning, Gohl was unaware he was about to face the biggest battle of his life – cancer. "The news was devastating," said Gohl. "My dedication to the Air Force has been 24/7 since the day I joined, but my possibilities have been limited due to my health condition." Gohl continues his job duties, no matter what his medical schedule looks like. In the past, he has been known to work from his hospital bed. Not because he has to, but because to him, it's more than "just a job", it's a reason to live. "I eat, sleep and breathe the Air Force. It will always be a part of me," said Gohl. "It's what keeps me alive."

Don’t pollute: Keep storm drains toxin free

By Earle Folger 628th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental engineer

Pushing trash and garbage into a storm sewer is a costly practice. Allowing trash to runoff into storm sewers is costly to cities, neighborhoods and to wildlife. When storm drains get clogged, storm water collects in the streets and can become a traffic hazard. Yes, they are fun to splash in, but they can be dangerous to drive through and local governments have to send out crews to unclog the storm drains, costing money that could otherwise be used to buy playground equipment, fire trucks, or perhaps to hire extra policemen. Almost anything you can think of has probably ended up in a storm drain. Soccer balls, beverage cans, bottles, plastic grocery bags, grease from the backyard grill, motor oil, paint and any garbage we leave lying around can get blown or washed

out of the yard and lodged in a storm drain. Putting chemicals into the storm drain is particularly unhealthy for the environment. Solid items like garbage bags and lawn furniture usually get stuck before they get to the end of the storm drain, but chemicals flow all the way to the rivers and lakes. When that happens, wildlife and people suffer due to the exposure to the chemicals. It's easy to think that what you flush down the a storm drain is such a small amount, nobody will notice. Although it is illegal and you may not get caught, there is still an impact on the environment. Storm sewers that smell like chemicals can be dangerous to children that play nearby and some can even be life threatening. There were two deaths in Summerville, S.C., a few years ago caused by deadly gases building up in a storm drain. Certain chemicals are dangerous to fish even in small amounts. This can easily become dangerous to people that eat

the fish. There are already certain places in the greater Charleston area where anglers must limit the number of fish they eat because of unsafe levels of water pollution. Other household chemicals should not be dumped into the garbage or storm drain. Completely use the chemical or bring the chemical to a recycling center that will properly dispose of it. Examples of household chemicals that should never be disposed in a storm drain include: window cleaners, motor oil, antifreeze, drain clog removers, toilet bowl cleaners, air fresheners, bug killers, pool chemicals, fertilizers and gasoline. All of these household products are safe when used as directed, but when misused or inappropriately disposed, they can be dangerous to people and wildlife. The bottom line is: dumping chemicals or other garbage into a storm drain, a storm ditch or a storm drop is inappropriate, illegal and creates a danger for other people.

Camp teaches children about their parents’ deployment

By Senior Airman Anthony Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

More than 40 children of Joint Base Charleston military members learned about their parents' deployments during the Children's Deployment Camp 2012, held at the JB Charleston - Air Base and Weapons Station Aug. 14 and 15. The Children's Deployment Camp, hosted by the Airman and Family Readiness Center, offered children, age five to 14 whose parents have recently returned from deployment, are currently deployed or are scheduled to deploy within the next six months, the opportunity to experience many of the same things their parents have to go through to prepare for a deployment.

Day 1 "These children received detailed briefings similar to what their parents receive before they deploy," said Master Sgt. David Godley, 628th Force Support Squadron Airman and Family Readiness Center noncommissioned officer. "Their briefing came from the Airman and Family Readiness Center, the intel office, public health, legal and finance." To make the deployment line as real as possible, this Children's Deployment Camp simulated deploying the young troops to South Africa for "Operation Elephant Lift," according to Godley. After the briefings, the deployers went through a deployment-processing line similar to what their parents go through. 628th Comptroller Squadron, A&FRC, 628th Medical Group and 628th Air Base Wing Staff Judge Advocate Airmen lined up, handed out important documents and processed the children through the line. Later during the Deployment Camp, the children received a tour of a C-17 Globemaster III. "This is my third year volunteering for the Children's Deployment camp," said Senior Airman Maechelle Shuler, 628th Air Base Wing Civil Law paralegal. "I love working with the children. I love watching their faces light up when they go out to the C-17." Their tour at the Air Base ended with a Military Working Dog demonstration at the 628th Security Forces Squadron kennels and a robot demo with the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal shop.

Day 2 The second day of the Children's Deployment Camp focused on the JB Charleston - Weapons Station. Military and Family Life Counselors coordinated activities for the children centering on coping with deployments. They later visited Patriots Point, in Mount Pleasant, S.C., which is the home of Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum and a fleet of National Historic Landmark ships, including the USS Yorktown, the Cold War Memorial and the only Vietnam Support Base Camp in the U.S. "The Deployment Camp went great and the kids seemed to enjoy it," said Shannon Norris, Joint Base Charleston - Air Base Youth Center director. "They were able to get the best of both worlds - the Air Force side and Navy side."

Lightning safety

If in the mountains, the following actions may reduce your risk of being struck by lightning: - Avoid open fields, the top of a hill or a ridge top. - Stay away from tall, isolated trees or other tall objects. If you are in a forest, stay near a lower stand of trees. - If you are camping in an open area, set up camp in a valley, ravine or other low area. Remember, a tent offers no protection from lightning. - Stay away from water, wet items (such as ropes) and metal objects (such as fences and poles). Water and metal are excellent conductors of electricity. The current from a lightning flash will easily travel for long distances. If you're participating in an outdoor sporting event, get everyone into their vehicles or the restrooms. Do not stay in the dugouts; they are not safe during lightning activity. Once in a safe place, wait 30 minutes after hearing the last rumble of thunder before going back and resuming play. One final reminder, if you're heading outdoors, listen to the weather forecast for the outdoor area you plan to visit. The forecast may be very different from the one near your home. If there is a high chance of thunderstorms, stay inside. (Information was taken from the National Weather Service's web page, which can be viewed at www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/outdoors.htm#near.)

As part of the continuing Critical Days of Summer Safety Campaign, we are again highlighting outdoor safety. This week we're targeting lightning strike risk reduction. What is the correct thing to do when a lightning storm approaches? The best option is to go indoors. Go to a safe building - one that is fully enclosed with a roof, walls and floor and has plumbing or wiring. Once inside, stay away from showers, sinks, bath tubs and electronic equipment. The next best option, if a safe building is unavailable, is a safe vehicle - any fully enclosed metal-topped vehicle such as a hardtopped car, minivan, bus, truck, etc. While inside a safe vehicle, do not use electronic devices such as radio communications during a thunderstorm. If you drive into a thunderstorm, slow down and use extra caution. If possible, pull off the road into a safe area. Do not leave the vehicle during a thunderstorm. However, there are times when neither a safe building nor vehicle is going to be an option, such as if you're in the middle of the lake fishing or hiking in the mountains. What do you do then? If you are caught in a thunderstorm on a small boat, drop anchor and get as low as possible. Large boats with cabins, especially those with properly installed lightning protection systems or metal marine vessels are relatively safe. Remember to stay inside the cabin and away from any metal surfaces.

New instruction puts spotlight on standards, culture

By Tech. Sgt. Shawn J. Jones Air Force Public Affairs Agency

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. – When referencing fundamental standards, Airmen now have a single source: Air Force Instruction 1-1, Air Force Standards. As one of the capstone acts of his 39-year career, Gen. Norton Schwartz, Air Force chief of staff, put his signature on the brand new instruction, which communicates in one document the required standards of conduct, performance and discipline expected of every uniformed Airman. The instruction – the first and only to be signed and certified by the chief of staff – was preceded by Air Force Policy Directive 1, Air Force Culture, in which the secretary of the Air Force directed the chief of staff to develop and execute policy related to standards. The new instruction is particularly noteworthy not because it offers many new standards, but because it consolidates many of the standards that had been spread among many separate instructions, officials said. In a single document, the instruction conveniently summarizes the expected standards of conduct for uniformed Airmen. The intention for the instruction is to serve as a compass, providing a convenient overview of standards while directing Airmen to other instructions where more detailed information may be found, officials said. Having a one-stop shop for standards-related guidelines, while not unprecedented, has long been absent in the Air Force. In fact, the vast majority of the new instruction's initial content and structure were borrowed from the now outdated Air Force Regulation 30-1, Air Force Standards, which was not replaced in the early 1990s when Air Force instructions replaced Air Force regulations. In December 2011, Schwartz directed the Air Staff to develop the new instruction. Much of the heavy lifting related to coordinating and drafting the instruction was performed by Scott Martin, a legal advisor on Schwartz's senior air staff

counsel. "We needed to capture and consolidate the existing Air Force standards," said Martin, a 23-year veteran who retired as a colonel in 2010. From cover to cover, the instruction counts 27 pages, broken into three chapters. The first chapter, the Air Force environment, focuses on topics such as core values, customs and courtesies, force structure and diversity. According to the chapter overview, the Air Force environment "encompasses the actions, values and standards we live by each and every day." The second chapter focusU.S. Air Force graphic / Sylvia Saab es on standards of conduct, Air Force Instruction 1-1, Air Force Standards, was signed and certified recently. In a single including sections on profes- document, the instruction conveniently summarizes the expected standards of conduct for sional relationships, ethics, uniformed Airmen. drug and alcohol abuse, and resiliency, sexual assault prevention and response, tattoos and government neutrality regarding religion. The instruction's final chapter addresses standards related body piercing, and the Joint Ethics Regulation. Martin said he expected the instruction to become a valuto dress and appearance, physical fitness and government able resource for educating today's Airmen. housing. "If you have a young Airman who's not quite getting it, this Martin said that while he borrowed a lot from the old regulation, it was incomplete for today's Air Force since so much will be a great tool for a mentoring session," he said. "Every Airman should periodically review these standards of conduct had changed in the past two decades. "We updated it and brought it up to the 21st century to to assure he is living up to what the Air Force expects of him every day." address contemporary challenges that Airmen face," he said. Some of those 21st century updates include standards relat- (Editor's note: AFI 1-1, Air Force Standards, and AFPD 1, Air ed to relationships on social media, the wingman concept, Force Culture, can be found on www.e-publishing.af.mil. )
