While hurricane Joaquin did not make landfall on the east coast, a constant flow of heavy rain caused flooding throughout the Carolinas. The 628th CES quickly accessed the damage and took action to fix and restore base assets.
JB Charleston responds to record breaking rainfall By Seamus O’Boyle Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs
The first five days of October 2015 brought torrential, record breaking rainfall to South Carolina and JB Charleston. The “once in a thousand year” event caused catastrophic flooding throughout the state and Lowcountry. On Monday, October 5th only mission-essential personnel reported for duty but throughout the storm, JB Charleston remained open carrying out all mission requirements. Col. Rob Lyman, JB Charleston commander said, “The recent storms with extraordinary rains resulted in flooding and damage throughout the state of South Carolina including parts of JB Charleston. As always, the men and women of JB Charleston responded with determination and resilience, both to sustain our national security missions and to take care of our comrades and neighbors. As the flood waters recede in the Lowcountry, the men and women of JB Charleston will continue to carry out their duty, including supporting our neighbors during recovery operations.” The base experienced some flooding but JB Charleston personnel and Mission Partners responded quickly to ensure the facility remained fully operational. The 628th Civil Engineer Squadron deputy base civil engineer, Glenn Easterby stated, “Our engineers, craftsmen and firefighters monitored the joint base infrastructure during the event and responded skillfully to several emergencies including power outages, flooding and washouts, roof leaks and medical calls.” Additionally, JB Charleston emergency managers and engineers, through the Defense Support to Civil Authorities law, assisted the local community by providing 20 traffic bar-
riers to Berkeley County. The barriers helped with traffic control and enabled many police officers to move from traffic duty to helping residents in need. “Because of the violent storms and flooding, carrying out the JB Charleston mission over the past week has been challenging. However, our JB Mission Partners pulled together to ensure all operational requirements were met safely.” Capt.
Tim Sparks, JB Charleston deputy commander commented, “Once again, they demonstrated their professionalism and competence for the whole community. While I congratulate all JB Charleston Mission Partners on a job well done, I remind everyone there are recovery operations ahead. We need to continue to support each other and the community as we move forward from this devastating event.”

GPC, Efficiencies and You
By Alex Gross 628th Contracting Squadron
You may not know what GPC is but, believe it or not, it has greatly impacted you and your unit's mission. It would be farfetched to believe any of us could do our jobs without something that was purchased using GPC. So what is GPC? GPC stands for the Government Purchase Card. It's a Visa card used by members within an organization to procure the many office supplies, odds and ends and smaller dollar value items you and I use each and every day. Maybe you're using a red pencil to sign off aircraft forms, using fitness equipment at the gym or the sitting in a comfortable office chair. All of these items were likely purchased using a GPC. Cardholders can quickly

opportunities for improvements or areas that could be more efficient. In this case, the entire government was positively impacted. How many people do you think thought the same thing about having to put in so many purchase orders but took no action? Look around your area and at your processes. Do you see areas of improvements or opportunities for efficiency gains? They may not be to the same level as the GPC program but they are there just the same. Given the current fiscal constraints and potential future shortfalls, we will all be forced to identify efficiencies in order to keep the mission moving forward. The question is, "Will you be one of the people identifying and implementing those changes?"
Chief's Commentary: Trophy denied By Chief Master Sgt. David Satchell 87th Air Base Wing Command Post
JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. – In 2008, my son, Aaron, decided he wanted to play soccer. We signed him up at the local recreation center in North Las Vegas. We got him fitted with all the nicest apparel. Of course, the nicer the apparel, the more points you'll score and wins you get, right? I joined him at his practices and games in the ungodly desert heat. Before you knew it, the Mustangs were 0 and 8 with three more games to play. Watching my son was painful. Surely he was chewing gum, because putting right foot in front of left without falling was extremely difficult. At last, the season was over. The coach got all the parents together and arranged a pizza party and awards night. After the meeting, all the parents collected their children, then Aaron came over to me. “What did coach want?" he asked. I said, "We're going to have pizza on Saturday and you'll get your trophy." He replied, "Why are we getting trophies? We really stunk Dad!" I smiled and in my best inner voice, agreed. Aaron went on to say, "I don't want a trophy." What an awesome lesson! A lesson I think you are all familiar with. But it's a little deeper than that. Airmen know when they stink, just like Aaron knew his team sucked. He knew at 7 years old that he didn't deserve that trophy. And Airmen know when they have been pushed along with unmerited awards, evalua-

and efficiently obtain needed items up to $3500 (and sometimes $20,000) via a streamlined process. Last year there were over 22,000 swipes of a GPC card totaling nearly $18 million. That's an average of $818 per swipe! Imagine having to submit a purchase request each and every time you needed the same items currently purchased through GPC. That would be extremely inefficient, right? Guess what? That's exactly how it used to be. In 1988, the 437th Contracting Squadron (now the 628the Contracting Squadron) spent $190 million dollars and filled over 200,000 purchase orders. Somewhere along the way, somebody said something to the tune of, "This is absurd!" The result has evolved into the GPC program used today. The point here is that each of us has seen
tions, decorations or pats on the back – we know! It's so easy to give our folks the benefit of the doubt and rate them undeservingly higher. But it can be just as easy to look Airmen in the eyeballs and tell them they performed poorly, didn't give their best effort or simply failed. They already know. Don't concern yourself so much with "hurting their career" but replace that with "how are they truly benefitting our Air Force?" Do you see him or her as a lieutenant colonel, master sergeant or chief? The Air Force needs field grade officers and senior NCOs that were denied trophies and went on to achieve deserved pats, awards, stratifications and "definite promotes." Mediocre performers are aware of their standing among their peers just as much as high performing Airmen. The pizza party was great. Each young player came up and received their trophy and got to say something. Most said, "I had fun! Thank you!" Until they called Aaron Satchell; he walked to coach with his head facing the ground and received his trophy. He didn't want to say anything but I yelled, "Com'on Bubba, say something!" He said "Gosh, we sucked!" Everyone laughed or covered their mouths. He was right!
DOD UPDATES
DoD leaders discuss budget issues with military family group By Jim Garamone DoD News, Defense Media Activity
ARLINGTON, Va. – Two DoD undersecretaries discussed the continuing resolution, military retirement changes and the Future Force during the National Military Family Association’s Leadership Dinner at the Army-Navy Club Sept. 29, 2015. Tina Jonas, a former DoD comptroller and member of the NMFA Board, led the discussion. DoD has been very consistent over the past years in what it needs to protect the United States and its interests and budget requests have followed military strategy, said Undersecretary of Defense Mike McCord, DoD’s comptroller and chief financial officer. The department must find the right balance among personnel, readiness, operations and acquisition accounts, McCord added. Continuing Resolutions the ‘Norm’ The undersecretary said he is concerned about the possibility of another continuing resolution -a limited period of funding in lieu of a full defense appropriations bill. “Sadly, continuing resolutions have become the norm and we know what it’s like to work under them,” he said. A continuing resolution means the department cannot implement new policies, procedures or acquisitions, McCord said. “We have to think
short-term, act short-term; that’s just part of what a continuing resolution is,” he said. “It’s just not the right way to spend one-third of your time, and that’s the pattern we’ve been in.” He added, “The military personnel accounts will be relatively protected under a continuing resolution.”
Proposed Retirement System Changes Jonas asked Brad R. Carson, the acting undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, to describe the department’s proposed changes to the military retirement system. Carson described a blended retirement system that will reduce the size of the fixed benefit plan while adding a 401(k) individual retirement benefit to the mix. This will keep the retirement benefit at about the same level it is now, he said, while also helping the vast majority of troops who do not stay on until retirement. “Only 17 percent of military personnel stay for a 20-year career,” Carson said. “Most people serve one or two terms and leave with nothing in their retirement accounts.” The retirement system changes would be used to give people a bit of a nest egg upon leaving the service, and could be used as an additional forceshaping tool, Carson said, adding that the changes would not affect anyone already in the military. The undersecretary also gave an outline of the proposed Force of the Future that Defense
Secretary Ash Carter announced earlier this year. Carter was concerned that perhaps the sense of mission born from the events of 9/11 and two wars might wane as the department entered a garrison environment, Carson said.
Force of the Future He said the Force of the Future would mean fewer moves for families and increased flexibility in the military and civilian workforce. Essentially, Carson said, the defense secretary’s proposals would move the department away from a 20th century industrial workforce and into the 21st century. The U.S. military is the best in the world because of its people, Carson said, and the services must continue to attract and retain the best personnel. This will mean different ways of managing, he said. It may mean service members can take breaks from military service at times in their careers when family circumstances require it, the undersecretary said, or it may mean the opportunity to time off to get advanced degrees. “We need to give [people] a chance to craft their own careers and not feel they are on a onespeed treadmill,” Carson said. Proposals look to minimize the moving around that personnel do now, he said. There are about 80 proposals in the Force of the Future, Carson said, adding that they are still under consideration by Carter.
Obama, Carter offer condolences to families of C-130 crash victims By Jim Garamone DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Ash Carter issued statements Oct. 2, 2015, to express their condolences to the families of those killed in the crash of a U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules transport plane shortly after midnight local time, Oct. 1, 2015, at Jalalabad Airfield, Afghanistan. The C-130J’s crew of six U.S. service members and five civilian contractor passengers aboard the aircraft were killed in the crash, as were Afghan civilians on the ground. “Michelle and I extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of the six U.S. airmen and five contractors who lost their
lives in a military plane crash in Jalalabad, Afghanistan yesterday,” Obama said in his statement. “In addition to the Americans we mourn, we also are saddened that Afghan civilians lost their lives in this incident. “As we mark this terrible loss of life,” the president continued, “we are reminded of the sacrifice brave Americans and our Afghan partners make each and every day in the name of freedom and security. Their willingness to serve so selflessly will not be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families and loved ones during this difficult hour. May God bless their souls.” A Reminder of the Risks In his statement, Carter said he was saddened to hear about the crash.
“While we are still trying to determine exactly what happened, this is a reminder of the risks that our men and women face serving their country in remote places all over the world,” he said. “Let us not forget the importance of their service, and the critical mission they died supporting. “My thoughts and prayers are with their families during this difficult time,” he continued. I also want to express my condolences to the families of the Afghans killed in this tragedy. We remain committed with our coalition partners to helping the people of Afghanistan build a secure and peaceful country.” The cause of the crash is under investigation. The aircraft was assigned to the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, part of the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing.

What to do in the aftermath of a natural disaster By Lisa Sweat 315th Airlift Wing Airman and Family Readiness director
A week ago, we all experienced historically bad weather in South Carolina and North Carolina. Now it is important to reach out to our fellow servicemembers to see if they were impacted by any of this weather. I have found some surprising areas of the state in which one would have thought people would not be impacted, only to find out they have been flooded. So here is some info to share with our brave men, women and families as we sort through and recover from the aftermath of the massive amount of rainfall. – Steps to Take After a Flood, Fire or Other Natural Disaster When a disaster damages or destroys your home or neighborhood, so much changes. Whether it's a flood, fire, hurricane, tornado or earthquake, recovery can be a challenge. But to begin getting your home, your community and your life back to normal, you can: • Create a plan for recovery • Check in with your unit • Stay alert and stay safe Your safety, along with your mental and physical well-being, is the most important thing after a disaster or emergency situation. Make the process less stressful by having a recovery plan in place. Here are a few things you can do after disaster strikes: Check on those around you. After you make sure your family is OK, check on neighbors and people who may have been alone; especially the elderly and disabled, and children. If anyone is injured, weak, or in distress, help them get medical attention. Find a safe place to stay. The Federal Emergency Management Agency can provide housing assistance if your home was damaged or destroyed. Call 800-462-9029 for assistance. You should also look for volunteers with the American Red Cross, which helps provide shelter for people in disastersituations. Check in with your leadership. Following certain catastrophic events, if you
can use the internet, check in online through the Air Force Personnel Accountability and Assessment System. If the internet is down, you can check in over the phone. Air Force service members should call 800-435-9941. But if you are like me, I have been receiving emails and phone calls on my person cell and email address, as I provided them through the AFPAAS system. If you have not received any message, please make sure you click on the purple globe when you return to work and update your information. Be safe, inside and outside your home. If your home has been damaged, your power lines and gas lines may have sustained damage also. Turn off your gas and electricity if you can do so safely.

Smoke detectors help keep families safe By Tony Rice 628th Civil Engineering Squadron/Fire Department
Keep your family safe with a working smoke alarm in every bedroom. Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep? Smoke alarms save lives. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. In fact, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half! When it comes to smoke alarms, it's about "location, location, location." The key message of this year's Fire Prevention Week campaign, October 4-10, is to install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of your home, including the basement. Larger homes may need more alarms. Smoke alarms should also be tested monthly and the batteries changed during daylight saving time. This year, Daylight Savings ends on Sunday, November 1, 2015. This year's Fire Prevention Week activities took place at the Air Base BX on Oct. 6, 2015, and at the Weapons Station NEX on Oct. 8, 2015. For more information, please contact the Joint Base Charleston Fire Prevention office at: 963-3121 on the Air Base and 794-7808 at the Weapons Station.

However, being constantly connected brings increased risk of theft, fraud and abuse. No country, industry, community or individual is immune to cyber risks. As a nation, we face constant cyber threats to our critical infrastructure and economy. As individuals, cybersecurity risks can threaten our finances, identity and privacy. Since our way of life depends on critical infrastructure and the digital technology that operates it, cybersecurity is one of our country's most important national security priorities and we each have a role to play--cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Recognizing the importance of cybersecurity to the nation, President Obama designated October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Designed to engage and educate public and private sector partners through events and initiatives, National Cyber Security Awareness Month's goal is to raise awareness about cybersecurity and increase the nation's resiliency in the event of a cyber-incident. National Cyber Security Awareness Month is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security in cooperation with the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
By Brenda Edmond, MSW, LISW-CP Family Advocacy Outreach Manager
The nation and the military have made remarkable progress over the past 30 years in recognizing domestic violence as a crime, providing legal remedies, social supports and coordinated community responses. Yet millions of families continue to be traumatized by abuse, leading to increased rates of crime, violence and suffering. Violence against women, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking is a persistent problem across income status, race and location. A significant number of the victims and perpetrators have children who often witness or are exposed to violence occurring in the home. In addition to the immediate trauma this causes, there may be long lasting emotional, behavioral and financial injury, for the victim, children and for society. • 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime (National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010) • 1 in 7 women and 1 in 18 men have been stalked by an intimate partner during their lifetime to the point in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed. (National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010) • 1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year, and 90% of these children are eyewitnesses to this violence (USDJ, Children’s Exposure to Domestic Violence, 2011) Now is the time to prevent violence and its devastating Ending domestic violence begins with recognizing it.

AF and USA participate in White Sands exercise
By First Lieutenant Caleb Weaver 16th Airlift Squadron
TThe U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army began the Network Integration Exercise 16.1 (NIE 16.1) on September 25, 2015 at the White Sands Missile range, N.M. The purpose of the exercise was to modernize the Army's tactical communication network. The NIE spanned the globe with 14 international allied players. All participants interacted in both live and simulated scenarios to evaluate the communication and integration of the war fighter. The Air Force provided four C-17's from JB Charleston and three C-17's from JB Lewis-McChord working in concert with seven C-130's from the 317th, 146th, 934th, 120nd and 179th Airlift Groups. Additionally, the 618th Air Operations Center, 21st Special Tactics Squadron, 82nd Airborne Division and 43rd Airlift Group units provided invaluable support to NIE 16.1 "The 437th Airlift Wing is tasked with planning and carrying out the safe delivery of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd ABD," said Captain Phil Becker of the 15th Airlift Squadron, the lead planner and pilot for the exercise. "One of the challenges of planning this event with seven different flying units and multiple supporting units, all in geographically separated locations, was exchanging information in an efficient manner." These challenges, among others, helped push Capt. Becker and the mission planning cell to explore creative, new ideas for the safe execution of the mission. In most air drop exercises, the planning is accomplished so far in advance that the "fog of war" has all but lifted by zero hour. One of the most promising results of the White Sands, NM air drop is that the planners proved that, even when given a shortened planning period,

the Mobility Air Forces were able to provide a sound plan, leadership, well trained men and women and operable aircraft to safely execute the mission. NIE 16.1 served as a training tool to maintain and further hone the skills of the Airmen involved. While the training component of large exercises, such as NIE 16.1, is invaluable to the pilots, loadmasters, maintenance and support staff involved, the crews also had a lot of fun. "There's nothing like seeing all of your hard work and planning pay off; especially when that includes a mass formation of C-17's and C-130 H, and J models all working together to drop our guys and push the mission," said Captain Nick Coblio, 16th Airlift Squadron.

14 AS loadmaster selected for A/TA AMC award
Chaplain’s Corner You can achieve, if you only believe Capt. Tyrone Luines, Chaplain 628 ABW/HC
We all experience setbacks in life. We often allow these setbacks to frame the way we see ourselves. When we believe we’re incapable of achievement we put a glass ceiling on ourselves, limiting our own ability. We behave like we believe. If we change what we believe we change what we achieve. You can achieve more than you’ve ever dreamed, if you will only believe. Michael Jordan, legendary basketball player, said, “If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” That’s the attitude of someone who refused to allow setbacks or obstacles to limit him in his mind.

Red Ribbon Campaign
By Brenda Edmond 628th Medical Group
This month we celebrate one of the oldest drug prevention efforts in the country. The Red Ribbon campaign held Oct. 2331, 2015, is a means for individuals and communities to take a stand for our children’s future by committing to providing drug education and prevention as well as committing to a drug free life and ultimately a drug free America. Of greater importance, the Red Ribbon campaign commemorates the life Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who made the ultimate sacrifice trying to keep our children and country safe by battling the trafficking of illegal drugs. After Agent Camarena’s death, Congressman, Duncan Hunter and high school friend Henry Lozano, launched Camarena Clubs in Imperial Valley, CA, Camarena's home. To honor the sacrifices made by Camarena and others, members of the clubs pledge to lead drug-free lives. Red
ribbon badges of satin are worn in Camarena's memory. The Red Ribbon Week campaign emerged from the efforts of these clubs and coalitions. Today, Red Ribbon Week is a national celebration, preserving Special Agent Camarena's memory and symbolizing support for the DEA's efforts to reduce demand for drugs through prevention and education programs. By wearing a red ribbon during the last week in October, Americans demonstrate their opposition to drugs. Additionally, they recognize Special Agent Camarena and all men and women who have given their lives in support of our nation's struggle against drug trafficking and abuse. Join with Joint Base Charleston’s Drug Demand Reduction Program and other Joint Base partners in taking a pledge to promote drug education and awareness and to commit to being drug free.

Joint Base Charleston Justice Files
By Robert Yancey and A1C Katie Cooper 628th Air Base Wing Legal Office
Involuntary Administrative Discharges (September 2015)
The below Airmen of Joint Base Charleston were involuntarily discharged for conduct that demonstrated a lack of potential for further service. Members discharged from their current enlistment with a less than fully Honorable service characterization are not entitled to receive educational benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill or the Post 9/11 GI Bill. The three types of service characterizations that can be received upon discharge are: Honorable, Under Honorable Conditions (General), and Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC). An Honorable service characterization means the member has generally met the Air Force standards of acceptable conduct and performance of duty. Each member should strive to meet and exceed the standards of acceptable performance and conduct in order to receive an Honorable discharge. An Under Honorable Conditions (General) service characterization is warranted when significant negative aspects of an Airman’s conduct or performance of duty outweigh positive aspects of the Airman’s military record. The least favorable involuntary administrative discharge is an Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC) service characterization. A discharge with a UOTHC service characterization reflects that a member’s personal conduct fell significantly below acceptable military standards. Members receiving a service characterization of less than an Honorable discharge may find their veteran’s benefits denied either in whole or in part and may face substantial prejudice when applying for civilian employment. 628 LRS – An Airman was involuntarily discharged for Drug Abuse after wrongfully possessing and using Spice. The member received an Under Honorable Conditions (General) service characterization.
628 LRS – A Staff Sergeant was involuntarily discharged for Drug Abuse after wrongfully using Alprazolam, the active ingredient in Xanax, a controlled substance; and Dextromethorphan, the active ingredient in many over-thecounter cold and cough medications, which was used in excess of the recommended dosage and in a manner contrary to its intended medical purpose, for the purpose of altering mood or function. The member received an Under Honorable Conditions (General) service characterization. 628 CS – A Senior Airman was involuntarily discharged for Failure to Meet Minimum Fitness Standards after failing four fitness assessments within 24 months. The member did not show significant improvement despite a mandatory conditioning period and did not have any medical conditions precluding the achievement of a passing score in non-exempt portions of the assessment. The member received an Honorable service characterization. 437 APS – An Airman Basic was involuntarily discharged for Minor Disciplinary Infractions after receiving an Article 15, for driving under the influence of alcohol; and for previously receiving a Letter of Reprimand for consuming alcohol under the age of 21 years old. The member received an Under Honorable Conditions (General) service characterizationl.
Non-Judicial Punishment (Article 15s) (September 2015)
The below Airmen of Joint Base Charleston were offered and accepted nonjudicial punishment (NJP) pursuant to Article 15 of the UCMJ in the month of March. Airmen offered NJP by their commander may either accept the NJP, and be judged by their commander as to their guilt or innocence as well as the appropriate punishment, or decline the NJP and demand a trial by court martial. The punishments that can be imposed as a part of NJP depend on the rank of the accused Airman and the commander who will impose punishment, but can be as much as a reduction in rank to E-1, 30
days correctional custody, forfeiture of ½ of one month’s pay per month for 2 months, 60 days restriction, 45 days extra duties, and a reprimand. 437 AMXS - A Senior Airman received nonjudicial punishment for violation of Article 86, failure to go. Member failed to be at his appointed place of duty on two different occasions. Punishment consisted of reduction to Airman First Class, suspended, forfeiture of $1,027.00 pay, 30 days extra duty, and a reprimand. 437 MXS – An Airman First Class received nonjudicial punishment for violation of Article 92, violation of a lawful general order. Member wrongfully used personal notes during his End of Course Exam. Punishment consisted of reduction to Airman, suspended, 30 days extra duty, and a reprimand. 628 SFS – An Airman First Class received nonjudicial punishment for violation of Article 91, insubordination. Member violated a no contact order. Punishment consisted of reduction to Airman, suspended, forfeiture of $250.00 pay per month for 2 months, 7 days extra duty, and a reprimand 628 SFS – An Airman First Class received nonjudicial punishment for violation of Article 91, insubordination.

PACE seeks home movies from military families
The USAF Profession of Arms Center of Excellence (PACE) is producing Heritage Today inspirational videos with the focus on sacrifices families and spouses make in being part of the military. They are looking for home movies or stills (current or vintage is fine) of men and women in uniform with their families.
Not posed or iconic “homecoming” shots, but just normal daily life…playing football in the yard, cooking dinner, walking to school, etc…the key is that the Airman is in the shot and in uniform (not necessarily their full uniform, this could be USAF PT attire or their shirt and ABU pants without the ABU jacket) with their family members.
These can be videos/photos that they have captured on their cell phones; PACE is looking for authentic “slice of life” shots. If you are interested in being featured, visit http://www.airman.af.mil/Home.aspx for the full details and how to submit!
