Survival of the Fittest: Final Stand By Senior Airman Dennis Sloan Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Survival of the Fittest is a three-part series on an Airman's battle with cancer while still serving in the Air Force. This is the third and final part of the series.

Cancer does not discriminate. Cancer does not care whether a person is male or female, old or young. Cancer – specifically brain cancer – did not care how hard Michael Moyles worked to beat it and for a third time it chose to attack him without hesitation. Michael Moyles, a boy with a dream of becoming an Air Force officer, followed that dream and commissioned in the Air Force in 1994. Since being commissioned, he married his longtime girlfriend and was diagnosed with brain cancer. He fought and beat brain cancer, but four years later he would be faced with it once again. He strove to make himself mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally sound, so cancer would not have any ground to stand on. Michael defeated cancer a second time, but like a reoccurring nightmare it reared its ugly head once again. In December 2008, Michael closed his eyes and placed his faith in his God, his own perseverance and his Air Force core values, and endured brain surgery for a third time. "This time it was different,” said Angela, Michael’s wife. “It was more like he was attacking the cancer instead of the cancer attacking him ... he just fought with everything he had. The third recurrence was difficult for all of us, but his preparation paid off - he was ready for it." Michael’s third surgery took several hours and once again he would come out unaffected, just as he had twice before. His resiliency not only baffled his family, but the doctors who operated on him as well. But Michael still faced perhaps his greatest challenge yet – 42 days of combined chemotherapy and radiation, in one last all-out attempt to make sure the cancer would not return. “It was time to give it everything we had,” said Michael. “Surgery and chemotherapy were not enough anymore, so the doctors attacked it with all three weapons – surgery, followed by

combined chemotherapy and radiation.” Every morning, for 42 consecutive days, Michael started the day with chemotherapy, then traveled an hour to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, to receive targeted, high-dose radiation treatments. But, he was still a major stationed at the Pentagon. Michael did not miss a day of work while going through chemo and radiation therapy. “I could have given in to the nausea and sickness and just stayed home, but that isn’t who I am and if I did stay home, it would have stopped me from doing what I love – serving in the Air Force,” said Michael. Every morning after going through chemo and radiation therapy, Michael would go for a run and then head to work. The chemo caused nausea and at times vomiting. The radiation caused fatigue that would follow Michael like a dark cloud throughout the day. “While working at the Pentagon I was often told I could leave to get rest, but I wouldn’t,” said Michael. “I didn’t want to be treated differently and just wanted to do my job.” After the radiation and chemo was complete, doctors scanned Michael’s brain and confirmed that for the third time, he was indeed, cancer free, but he couldn’t help but feel skeptical. “I had beaten cancer twice before, so the idea that it may return did enter my mind,” said Michael. “Either way, I was excited to have beaten it for a third time and was ready to continue on with my career as an Air Force officer.” The radiation took a toll on Michael even after treatment was over. He would still have to battle the fatigue from it. “I just ran,” said Michael. “The fatigue was always there, but exercising really helped to combat that.” Fatigue was not the only thing Michael would have to deal with from the 42 rounds of radiation. In July, 2009 when Michael woke up for his

morning run he immediately noticed he could not open his eyes. “My eyes were completely swollen shut,” said Michael. “I had no idea what was wrong, but knew it wasn’t good. My wife rushed me to the emergency room.” Michael informed the doctors of his previous medical surgeries and they began to perform tests to determine what was happening. “The idea that cancer was back again ran through my mind, but I still didn’t know what was the cause and I wasn’t about to jump to any conclusions,” said Michael. Osteomyelitis was the word doctors uttered to Michael. The diagnosis determined that the 42 rounds of radiation killed the cancer, but it also compromised his immune system, allowing an infection that literally killed a third of Michael’s skull as well. “I was relieved to have an answer for what caused my eyes to swell shut, but unsure what this would mean for my future,” said Michael. A neurosurgeon performed a cranioplasty on Michael, removing a third of his skull plus a little extra to make sure the infection would not continue. “They took the entire front portion of my skull out,” said Michael. “Not only did they remove my skull, but they did not put anything in its place.” Michael would have to go six months without a third of his skull while doctors took a mold of See Survival, Page 3

COMMENTARY

Inspiration through perseverance

Commentary by Lt. Col. Stewart Newton 16th Airlift Squadron commander, 437th Airlift Wing

It's October and my Physical Fitness Test is at hand. I used to be in pretty good shape and could max every event, but alas, those were the glory days. I've been pretty fortunate and have always been able to pass fairly easily, but my internal struggle has always been, "If I'm not going to max it, how much effort do I really need to give?" After my PFTs, I used to throw a pity party over my aches and pains. No more. Despite all the "I"s and "me's," this article isn't about me. It's about an officer who taught me one of the most important leadership lessons I've ever learned and gave me an entirely new perspective not only on PFTs, but also on life. Almost five years ago, I learned that I had been selected to attend the Marine Corps Command and Staff College in Quantico, Va. Of course, I immediately did what any of us would do when you find out you are going to work with the Marines - I headed to the fitness center. In fact, I spent the next several months there, working myself as hard as ever. Unfortunately, my body wasn't what it once was and I developed a painful condition called achilles tendonitis. Every step felt like I was being hit in the back of the heel with a hammer. The injury eventually got better thanks to years of

treatment, including wearing orthotics and soaking my foot in ice. The Marine Command and Staff College was made up of approximately 200 students. About 100 were Marines, with the other students from the other services, the civil service, international and interagency organizations. It was not a big school and you were soon able to recognize most of the faces. About two weeks into it we all had to take the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test. The Marines were in tremendous shape and several maxed the test or came close. However, the most impressive effort didn't come from one of the Marines, rather it was an Army major. He didn't do the most pull-ups or sit-ups and he wasn't the fastest. In fact, he finished behind many of the others. Yet, the most remarkable thing about this officer was the fact that he was doing it on a prosthetic leg. You see, an Improvised Explosive Device had injured him and most students didn't even know he had been injured; much less that he had a prosthetic leg. Truthfully, I suspect that's the way he wanted it. The major didn't do the test because he wanted to impress anyone. He did it because he is a man of character and the last thing he wanted was special treatment. The major was truly inspirational. Knowing the temperament of this major, he would be embarrassed knowing that others thought so highly of him.

Near the end of the year, the school sponsored a 9.2-mile "fun run" through the hills on base. Even though I was still in a lot of pain from my injury, I'm glad I chose to run it. Now, I don't mean that you should exercise when you're physically injured, but sometimes you need to reach deep inside and not let an inconvenience get in the way of mission or impede your physical fitness training. For our entire year at school, the Army major participated in every physical fitness event. At the end of the "fun run", as my foot sank into ice and Epsom salts, and I sat there feeling sorry for myself, I found myself reflecting on how inspiring the major was. What a leader! Imagine how moving his story is to his soldiers. They would follow him anywhere ... and I would too! There had never been any doubt in the major's mind whether or not he was going to participate in the optional "fun run." He wasn't looking for an excuse ... he just took care of the mission. Throughout each of our lives, there are times when we face barriers to our progress. Sometimes those barriers may seem insurmountable. But until you try, you'll never know if you can succeed. Sometimes the price can be a bit painful, but in the end there are fewer rewards more satisfying than knowing you've done your best and accomplished the mission. I don't know if the major had any idea just how inspiring he was to the other students and to myself. Many thanks, major!

We are here to serve you, so next time you are considering where to go, what to do, or where to eat - think of your 628 FSS and how we can meet your morale, welfare and recreational needs.

Diamond Tip: Don't be an 'October Surprise'

Commentary by Master Sgt. Brett Hopkins 437th Operations Support Squadron first sergeant

This Nov. 6 is Election Day. I join your unit and base representatives in asking you take the time to vote and have your voice heard. I also join the Office of the Secretary of Defense in urging you to act responsibly during this, and any, campaign season. Guidance for Political activities can be found in Department of Defense Directive 1344.10, Political Activities by Members of the Armed

Forces; Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations Part 734, Political Activities of Federal Employees and is summarized in the 2012 DoD Public Affairs Guidance for Political Campaigns and Election which can be accessed at http://www.dod.mil/ dodgc/defense_ethics/resource_library/dodpa_pol itical_activity_guidance.pdf. There are some "common sense" basics and some little known facts each of us need to know. Active-duty members may not engage in partisan political activities while in uniform. While this seems pretty easy, there is a chance that if you

have a picture or job status on Facebook, Twitter, etc. that identifies you as a member of the armed forces and presents a commentary, endorsement or links to partisan sites, you may be in violation of policy. Even though the election ends on Nov. 6, the limitations on political activities stay in effect until one week after the conclusion of the election. I urge everyone to vote and support their favorite political party and candidate. The DoD requires everyone to show that support within regulations. Exercise your rights, but don't become an October or November surprise for the DoD.

Air Force Academy energy research will yield global benefits Commentary by Lt. Col. Patrick Suermann Air Force Academy Civil and Environmental Engineering Department

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – "I am Air Force Energy" is more than just a catchphrase at the Air Force Academy. Those words, provided by Air Force Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Dr. Kevin Geiss as the theme for Energy Awareness Month, resonates at the Air Force Academy, whose faculty are innovating across the spectrum of academic departments to further educate and develop future leaders of character and advance energy technology. After studying energy-related topics in two core courses, Chemistry 110 and Physics 110, cadets can take the science and technology energy systems core option or specialize in approximately 17 major's courses from Economics to Engineering that deal with the importance of being informed energy consumers and engineers. Dr. Darrell Pepper, a distinguished visiting professor from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas teaching in the Academy's Engineering Mechanics Department, donated a 3-kilowatt wind turbine for study in the renewable energy course offered here. The turbine provides hands-on experience for cadets, Pepper said. In time, Pepper said he expects the turbine will be moved outdoors so cadets can study it in a more realistic setting. "This class, with its practical approach, will prepare our cadets to make energy-wise decisions when they are leaders in the Air Force," said Dr. Mike Maixner, an instructor in the Engineering Mechanics Department. "The Defense Department will greatly benefit from energy-aware officers." Similarly, Dr. Karen Henry received a grant to install an energy foundation system and associated monitoring equipment in a lavatory facility recently constructed at the Field Engineering and Readiness Laboratory in Jacks Valley. The facility uses a geothermal approach to heating and cooling: Energy foundations combine with the structural supports for a building with a heat pump so

that the foundations can be used as ground-source heat exchangers. This provides a cost-efficient approach to conserve energy, reduce carbon emissions and reduce installation costs. Eventually, Henry will compare measured performance indicators, including construction and lifecycle costs, with those expected for conventional heating U.S. Air Force photo / Bill Evans and cooling systems.

Survival of the Fittest: Final Stand - continued from page one Michael’s skull and began to build him a brand new acrylic prosthetic. “It was rather strange that I was without a large portion of my skull,” said Michael. “Just skin on brain.” Because Michael’s brain had no protection, he wore a helmet throughout the day while navigating through the hectic halls of the Pentagon. “You certainly get some funny looks on the metro,” said Michael. “I even had one person in the Pentagon tell me to remove my cover while indoors – I just smiled and thanked him. If only he knew!” Besides wearing a helmet to protect his brain, Michael needed to take a large amount of anti-bacterial medication. The doctors installed a catheter port in his arm that could be hooked up to an IV, and received daily infusions of high-dose antibiotics. Doctors were clear that if the infection spread to his brain, it would likely be fatal. Undeterred, Michael actually ran another marathon and several half-marathons without his skull – and, to the dismay of his doctors, without his helmet as well. “If surgery, chemo and radiation weren’t going to stop me, neither was a cranioplasty” said Michael. After six months, and the infection gone, doctors fitted the acrylic piece made from a mold of Michael’s skull in place and Michael was sewed up. “Having a complete skull again was very reassuring,” said Michael. “Not only was my risk of injury reduced, but I felt normal again. I didn’t look like a cancer patient anymore. And

I could get rid of that darn helmet!” In 2010, after 42 rounds of radiation, 22 rounds of chemotherapy, three brain surgeries, two reconstructive surgeries and having run eight marathons Michael was finally free of cancer. “It has been a wild ride,” said Michael, “but my faith, my family and fitness have brought me through.” During his battle with cancer Michael passed five medical boards. “It’s hard for them to tell you you’re ‘unfit for continued military service’ when your lapping most of them around the track,” said Michael jokingly. Michael had a streak of nine straight 100’s on his Physical Fitness test during his battle with cancer. “I found fighting cancer and the military mindset and lifestyle very well aligned,” said Michael. “The military promotes physical fitness, advocates perseverance and provides an amazing support structure.” Michael took his passion for running and battling cancer in a new direction. He started the foundation, ‘Team Michael Moyles.’ “I wanted to do something to give back to the cancer community and came up with the foundation,” said Michael. “Family, friends and even people I’ve never met have given to the foundation.” Michael’s foundation eventually teamed up with the Livestrong foundation.

“I had the honor of eating dinner at Lance Armstrong’s home and talk with him personally,” said Michael. “I wouldn’t say he would remember me if you asked about me, but it was still a once in a lifetime opportunity.” One thing that came as a total surprise to Michael during his battle with cancer was when his wife became pregnant with their now four-year-old daughter Ellie. “I had already gone through chemo and was told I could not have kids so when we found out we were going to have a child I was ecstatic,” said Michael. “She is my world now.” The thing or things that Michael used to get through everything were what he called his three ‘F’s.’ “Faith, Family and Fitness, those are what come first for me,” said Michael. “Every decision I make is dependent on those three things.” Now, Lt. Col. Michael Moyles continues to serve and is the 628th Mission Support Group deputy commander. He is in his in his 19th year of service and realizes his goal of becoming a general may not be in the cards anymore, but he looks forward to meeting with his first O-6 board this year. “I set the lofty goal of becoming a general almost 20 years ago, but at the time I had no idea where my life or career was going to take me,” said Michael. “I would love to achieve the rank of a full-bird colonel, but if not, I will still have had an amazing journey in the United States Air Force.”

Thoroughbred Airman follows her passion By Airman 1st Class Tom Brading Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Growing up in the small town of Bar Harbor, Maine, Laurie Lanpher spent her childhood pursuing a passion she shared with her mother, the spirited love of horses. From showing horses at local 4-H club competitions, to galloping through the pine forests of Acadia National Park, Lanpher found a sense of peace riding horses. Today, Maj. Laurie Lanpher, 628th Comptroller Squadron commander, remains passionate about horse riding and is a competitive equestrian athlete sponsored by the U.S. Air Force Athletics Program. Her love of riding and involvement in the Air Force seem to be a perfect fit. However, before Lanpher appeared on their radar scopes, the U.S. Air Force Sports Program didn't have any equestrian disciplines on their list of sponsored sports programs. "Before I could compete in my Air Force dress uniform to represent the Air Force, the equestrian competitions had to be approved by the AFSP chief," said Lanpher. "The AFSP authorizes any sport represented at the Olympics which includes my discipline. It was a bit unconventional, but I was able to get permission to compete as an Airman." Today, she is one of only two Airmen competing under the AFSP in the national equestrian circuit. According to Lanpher, it fills her with pride to wear her uniform while competing on horseback, due to the overwhelming positive reactions and warm compliments she receives, especially from the young men and women who become interested in the military after watching her perform during three-day "eventing" competitions. Eventing is the triathlon of the equestrian world. The horse and rider are involved in a three-part competition spanning the course of three days. The first event is dressage, an Olympic sport by itself, often revered as the highest form of horse training. During the dressage phase, judges evaluate the communication between horse and rider through a series of predetermined movements. "The history of dressage goes back to military cavalry horses," said Lanpher. "Officers would be tested on their training, discipline and ability to control their mounts." After dressage, the second event, cross country, tests the endurance of the horse. It also challenges the horse's speed and jumping ability over various terrains. Like dressage, this phase requires the horse and rider to work together. The horse and rider must overcome multiple obstacles to include fences, ditches and water while maintaining a consistent gallop. It is the rider's responsibility to know what pace to keep in order to expend only as much of the horse's energy as necessary.

Maj. Laurie Lanpher, 628th Comptroller Squadron commander, competes with her nine-year-old Trakehner horse, Anniko, during the dressage portion of a three-day eventing competition. A Trakehner horse is a strong, explosive, light breed revered for its ability to excel in eventing competitions. Lanpher often refers to Anniko as her, “U.S. Air Horse.”

"The endurance portion is one of the most challenging aspects for both the rider and the horse, but it is also the reason I'm so passionate about this sport," said Lanpher. The final event in the three-day competition is show jumping. The horse and rider are required to jump a series of stadium fences at various heights in an enclosed arena to test the horses continued stamina and soundness. After completing all events, all of the teams' scores are tallied and the horse and rider with the lowest score wins. In the past, Lanpher has won numerous accolades while competing, however, since arriving at Joint Base Charleston Air Base in May 2012, she has focused mainly on training. Countless hours of preparation go into each event, but Lanpher wouldn't want it any other way. Her show horse, Anniko, has been her partner throughout the majority of her dressage, cross country and fence jumping events. Anniko's breed, the Trakehner, was world renowned in the time of the cavalry horse so she is a perfect partner for this exciting sport.

"The horses have bettered me both as an Airman and equestrian," said Lanpher. "Riding has made me more responsible, empathetic and improved my overall wellbeing." In addition, Lanpher admits she finds that her horses have a way of keeping her grounded. "It doesn't matter how stressed out I get," said Lanpher. "When I'm riding horses, at events or just through the woods, I find clarity in those moments. The weight of my world and any stress I may have falls away. The horses don't complain or fret; they just help balance my life." Lanpher encourages others to find something to balance the day-to-day stresses in their lives as well. "Having a hobby is incredibly important to your overall mental health," said Lanpher. "For me, it's horses. I'm so thankful that I'm part of the U.S. Air Force, because they recognize athletics through their sports program, which has allowed me the opportunity to get better at the sport I love."

AF officials releasing enlisted quarterly assignment listing

By Tech. Sgt. Steve Grever Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas – Air Force officials are releasing the enlisted quarterly assignment listing, or EQUAL, on Oct. 22 for the July to September 2013 overseas assignment cycle. Enlisted Airmen must update their assignment preferences by Nov. 1 and they will be notified of their assignment selections by Nov. 16. "We are accelerating the release of the EQUAL list to allow us time to complete the overseas assignment cycle before the Military Personnel Data System upgrade in December," said Michael Kiel, Air Force Personnel Center integrated assignment, applications and training chief. "If Airmen do not update their assignment preferences by Nov. 1, they will not

be considered as volunteers for the overseas assignments advertised on EQUAL." EQUAL posts upcoming assignments by Air Force Specialty Code and rank. Airmen are instructed to review, prioritize and list their assignment preferences based on the EQUAL list. Airmen can update their assignment preferences on the virtual Military Personnel Flight application and view the EQUAL list on the myPers website at http://mypers.af.mil. Active duty Airmen on temporary duty during the EQUAL advertising period can contact their nearest personnel support office for assistance. The Air Force is upgrading and transferring MilPDS to the Defense Information Systems Agency's Defense Enterprise Computing Center, and the upgrade project is scheduled to take about 23 days to complete. During this period, MilPDS will not be available.

Navy hosts Fourth Annual Naval Energy Forum

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Mike James Defense Media Activity - Navy

WASHINGTON – The Navy hosted the fourth annual Naval Energy Forum Oct. 17 at the Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington. This year's theme, "The Art of the Long View," highlighted the importance of using energy to enhance combat capability and conserve resources through education, the use of renewable energy, and energy conservation. Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus and other key representatives from the Navy, Marine Corps, industry, and the international community spoke at the forum. "There is clear and compelling evidence that the efforts the Navy is making to use energy more efficiently will improve national security, will save money and save lives," said Mabus. Mabus gave several examples the Navy has taken toward

energy conservation in 2012; among them, the use of a 50/50 biofuel blend in every vessel participating in the Rim of the Pacific 2012 exercise and the construction of a solar farm at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, which produces more than 30 percent of the stations annual energy consumption. "No one ever did anything big by being timid," said Mabus. "We have seen that the biggest changes have come when every Sailor and Marine buys into the idea of energy conservation." Panelists and speakers presented various topics including expeditionary energy, energy in acquisition, international impacts, and industry perspectives. Key speakers included SECNAV, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs, Sharon Burke; Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Fleet Readiness and Logistics, Vice Adm. Phil Cullom; Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration, Lt. Gen. Richard Mills and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

MilPDS is the primary records database for personnel data and actions that occur throughout every total force Airman's career. MilPDS is also used to initiate Airman pay actions, maintain Air Force accountability and strength data, and support a host of interactions with other Air Force processes and systems that rely on personnel data. Reserve and Guard members will receive specific instructions from the Air Force Reserve Command and Air Reserve Personnel Center concerning how the MilPDS upgrade will impact their personnel programs. More information is available on the ARPC public website at www.arpc.afrc.af.mil. Officials will continue to release additional information and guidance to the Air Force's manpower, personnel, services and pay communities and total force Airmen to continue to educate them on how the service will perform critical personnel and pay tasks during the MilPDS upgrade.

Sound barrier pioneer celebrates 65 years

By Senior Airman Jack Sanders 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. – Retired Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager, the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound, celebrated the 65th anniversary of his ground breaking event with a re-enactment here Oct. 14. Yeager was serving as a test pilot and flying the experimental Bell X-1 named the, "Glamorous Glennis," Oct. 14, 1947, when he successfully broke the sound barrier. "Up until that time we weren't able to do it," Yeager said. "Finally, in Oct. 14, 1947, we succeeded, and that opened up the doors of space to us." Yeager's re-enactment flight began when he and the aircraft's pilot, Capt. David Vincent, 65th Aggressor Squadron pilot, flew an F-15D Eagle to 45,000 feet over Edwards AFB, Calif., and at 10:24 a.m. broke the sound barrier again. "It was the greatest moment of my life so far," Vincent said. "It's like being with Christopher Columbus when he discov-

ered the new world or like being with Orville and Wilbur Wright on the first flight." Vincent said Yeager hadn't lost a step and pointed out landmarks over Edwards AFB. "It was a smooth flight today," the general said. "I'm very familiar with the area and got a good view." Yeager finished his day with a meet and greet with Nellis Airmen followed by a question and answer segment. "I want to thank you all at Nellis," Yeager said. "The F-15 is my favorite airplane, and that's why I came here to fly it." Yeager enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army Air Forces Sept. 12, 1941. Later he was accepted to flight training in the flying sergeants program and, upon completion, was promoted to flight. Yeager demonstrated his flying skill during World War II when he became an, "ace in a day" after downing five enemy aircraft in one mission. "What I am, I owe to the Air Force," Yeager said. "They took an 18-year-old kid from West Virginia and turned him into who I am today."

David Vincent, 65th AGRS pilot, Yeager is commemorating the 65th anniversary of his historic breaking of the sound barrier flight Oct. 14, 1947, in the Bell X-1 rocket research plane named "Glamorous Glennis." Yeager was awarded the prestigious Collier Trophy in 1948 for this landmark aeronautical achievement.
