The faint sounds of an elderly man telling a story from an era long gone filled the 16th Airlift Squadron auditorium Nov. 2, 2012, at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base, S.C..

Retired Lt. Col. Hiram Mann, a former P-51D Mustang fighter pilot with the 332nd Fighter Group during World War II, sat in his wheelchair holding a microphone telling his story of being a Tuskegee Airman.

“This is really a treat,” said Lt. Col. Stewart Newton, 16th AS commander. “We are in the presence of a legend. I am completely in awe.”

After a brief introduction and a short video which displayed pictures of Tuskegee Airmen and their aircraft, Mann, sitting in his wheelchair, was lifted on stage and handed a microphone.

“The first thing I would like to relay to all of you is the original definition of a Tuskegee Airman,” said Mann. “An original Tuskegee Airman, which I was not consulted on, is any male or female, black or white, military or civilian who served at Tuskegee Airfield between 1941 and 1949.”

Mann went on to explain that the term Tuskegee Airmen was not used while he served as a fighter pilot.

“The term Tuskegee Airmen actually was not coined until 1972,” said Mann. “Some say 27 years after World War II, but I say 27 years too late.”

Before Mann could even fly, he had to apply for a commission and that would be no easy task for him.

“The first time I applied for a commission I was sent a rejection letter with a very distinct answer of why I would not be able to serve as a pilot,” said Mann. “The letter stated there were no facilities to train Negros, so I went back to being a bell hop – fat, dumb and happy.”

Mann would have to apply two more times before receiving an acceptance letter.

“I learned a lot from the rejection letters,” said Mann. “I learned that I was going to have to fight tooth and nail for the ability to defend my country as a fighter pilot.”

Mann first gained interest in flight when he was very young. He made a small model of an airplane out of balsa wood and flew it around his backyard all day long.

“When Lindberg made his historic flight across the Atlantic, I read the newspapers and knew that being a pilot was what I wanted to do,” said Mann. “The first time I touched an aircraft was when I joined the military and was in

Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Hiram Mann receives a C-17 tail from Lt. Col. Stew Newton, 16th Airlift Squadron commander, during his visit to the 16th Airlift Squadron Nov. 2, 2012, at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, S.C. Entering the Army Air Corps as a pre-aviation student in 1942, Mann was assigned to the 100th Fighter Squadron of the 332nd Fighter Group, the Red Tail Angels, in Italy. He flew the P-40 "Warhawk" and the P-47 "Thunderbolt" fighter-type aircraft, and co-piloted in a B-25 "Billy Mitchell" bomber, a C-47 "Gooney-bird," and a C-45 "Expediter” cargo planes.

training at Tuskegee Airfield.”

Mann and all other African American pilots were required to train at Tuskegee Airfield during World War II. “Our instructors were white,” said Mann.

“They would hassle us just for being black and would use the excuse that they were preparing us for the stress of war. Fortunately my instructor went easier on our group.”

When Mann and his fellow African-American pilots were finished with training, they were given their wings.

“As I’m sure all of my fellow pilots in the room know, wearing the silver wings is something not to be taken lightly,” said Mann. “Those wings are a coveted item – they gave me the ability to fly and that is what I loved to do.”

Even though Mann was qualified to fly, his unit, the 332nd Fighter Group, was only tasked with reconnaissance missions.

“At first, only the white pilots were allowed to fly combat missions,” said Mann. “Rumors were spread discrediting African-American pilots.”

The rumors ranged from such falsehoods as

African-American pilots get scared easier during war or that they were less intelligent and less capable of operating aircraft technology.

“Our unit was almost shut down and disbanded, but our unit leadership fought for us and we were given the chance to fly combat missions finally,” said Mann.

Mann and his fellow 332nd FG pilots would escort bomber groups over Germany and other parts of Europe during World War II. “We flew with the bombers to the target then just before they would drop the bombs we broke away,” said Mann. “Once the bombers had released all of their bombs we would escort them back to the base.”

During the course of the war, the Tuskegee Airmen proved to be excellent fighter pilots and even earned the respect of those bomber pilots they were escorting.

“Whenever we would run into the bomber pilots we had escorted, they would say thank you and show us appreciation for getting them there and back safe,” said Mann.

After World War II, Mann would continue to See Tuskegee Airman, Page 3

COMMENTARY

Lessons in Leadership: Get all the facts Commentary by Maj. Michael Johnson 1st Combat Camera Squadron commander

About 14 years ago, when I was a newly appointed second lieutenant in the National Guard, I learned a hard lesson in leadership; don’t jump to conclusions before you have all the facts – a lesson that need not be experienced to be understood.

At the time I was in charge of editing and producing a monthly magazine for a two-star. During each month, a variety of people would submit photos and articles for inclusion in the magazine.

Since the magazine had a page limit, I would select the most relevant photos and articles and make sure they were edited and properly placed in the magazine.

On one occasion, after the latest magazine had just been published, a friend of mine called to ask if I had seen it. He told me that someone had written an article similar to his. I picked my copy off the desk and began looking for his article as he continued talking on the phone. By the end of the phone conversation I was convinced that someone had plagiarized my friend’s article. Without further questioning or investigation, I picked up the phone and called the individual whose byline was pasted above my friend’s article. The phone call lasted about 10 minutes and by the end I had

accused him of plagiarism. Following the phone call I marched to the two-star’s office, feeling proud that I had uncovered a significant wrongdoing, and informed her about the plagiarism issue and let her know how I was going to take care of it.

Fast forward 24 hours and a series of phone calls from the individual I had accused of plagiarism and his wife. I discovered that what looked like plagiarism turned out to be an accidental computer error. My staff assistant had placed the wrong name on my friend’s article while she was electronically laying out the magazine and no one caught the mistake before publication. I also found out that the person I had accused of plagiarism was a Vietnam Vet who had earned a “v” device and had voluntarily authored articles for the magazine for years. To make matters worse, during my last phone conversation with the accused, he informed me that he was planning to separate from the service due to my accusation.

As soon as I discovered the mistake I began the same march down the hall to the two-star’s office.

I reported to the two-star and told her everything, fully expecting to be fired. It seemed like an eternity before she finally spoke, but when she did, she asked me if I had learned anything. I said I had. I told her I jumped to conclusions without all

the facts, which led me to wrongly accuse someone of plagiarism. I apologized to her and she told me to fix it, learn from my mistake and not repeat it in the future.

I left the two-star’s office knowing the phone call I had to make was going to be much more difficult. I returned to my office and called the individual I had accused of plagiarism. After I explained what had happened and apologized, I asked him if he would reconsider his decision to separate and he said he would, but his wife was so upset by the incident she refused to allow him to continue. I spent another 30 minutes or so apologizing to the wife and pleading with her to allow her husband to continue serving.

In the end, he did continue his service, which I am grateful for. I spent numerous years after that knowing that nothing I could do or say would change the impression the accused and his wife had of me. It didn’t matter how committed I was to service or how much I believed in and tried to live the core values. Everything I stood for and believed in was completely irrelevant because I jumped to a conclusion without having all the facts. This is not a lesson that needs to be experienced to be learned. When situations allow, take the time to gather all the facts before you make a decision.

AF leaders send birthday messages to Marine Corps

WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Roy salute the Marine Corps on its 237th birthday Nov. 10.

Donley wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Navy stating, "On behalf of the men and women of the United States Air Force, congratulations as you celebrate the 237th birthday of the United States Marine Corps.

"Generations of Marines have faithfully demonstrated the honor, courage, and commitment that will always remain the hallmarks of the Corps. Those who wear the emblem of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor today are adding new chapters of valor to the Corps' history that will inspire generations to come.

"America's Airmen are proud to protect our Nation's freedoms alongside the men and women of the United States Marine Corps. We wish you all the best as you celebrate this important day."

Welsh wrote a letter to the Commandant of the Marine Corps stating, "On behalf of the Airmen of the United States Air Force, congratulations to the Leathernecks of the United States Marine Corps as you celebrate 237 years of selfless service to our Nation.

"The Marines have served as the Nation's elite

fighting force since before America declared her independence. That tradition of excellence remains in your Service today, with each Marine symbolizing the pinnacle of honor, courage, and commitment, inspiring the generations who follow.

"The men and women of the U.S. Air Force are proud to serve alongside their Marine brothers and sisters in the defense of freedom and the American way of life. Semper Fi!" Roy wrote a letter to the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps stating, "I'm writing to wish a Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps. For hundreds of years, brave and valiant Marines have protected our country in the air, on land and at sea. Americans have come to rely on Marines to be most ready when the Nation is least ready.

"Marines have served with bravery and made selfless sacrifices for 237 years. Since the Corps'

founding at Tun Tavern in 1775, Marines have served with honor, courage and commitment. From the American Revolutionary War to current operations in Afghanistan, Marines have remained focused, ready and willing to answer our nation's call.

"On behalf of Airmen everywhere, thank you for your service. We look forward to working together to continue to bring the fight to the enemy."

Happy 237th Birthday Marine Corps Commentary by Adm. Jonathan Greenert Chief of Naval Operations

From the United States Navy to the United States Marine Corps: happy 237th birthday!

Each year, on the 10th of November, all members of the sea services look back on a tradition of joint warfighting as old as our nation itself. The Navy-Marine Corps partnership is stronger than ever and remains a constant and vital part of our national security. Over the past year we have been reinvigorating Navy-Marine Corps amphibious skills during real world operations and exercises such as Bold Alligator.

Looking ahead, we will continue to build upon these operations and develop strategies and capabilities of sea control and power projection.

I join Sailors around the world in saluting our primary partner. We will always remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice: it is upon their shoulders and countless other brave Marines that the proud legacy of the Marine Corps has been built.

The Marine Corps motto says it all, "Semper Fi." The Navy is grateful and honored to serve beside you. Happy 237th birthday to you, and to your families.

worth repeating

“The Navy-Marine Corps partnership is stronger than ever and remains a constant and vital part of our national security.”

Admiral Jonathan Greenert Chief of Naval Operations

Thanksgiving: Our days of gratitude

Commentary by Chaplain (Lt. Col.) John Painter 315th Airlift Wing Chaplain

We are all familiar with the 15-week long Critical Days of Summer Safety Program. I would like to encourage the members of Joint Base Charleston to consider a shorter, similar commitment during November which I will call "The 18 days of Thanksgiving."

I am writing this article on the Sunday of A Flight, so there are 18 days remaining between

today and Thanksgiving Day. Having read a few articles recently on how expressing gratitude enhances an individual's happiness, I thought it might be meaningful to challenge each service member to commit to keeping track of the number of times they express genuine gratitude to another person between now and Thanksgiving.

I do not expect a report or score from you, but I hope you will keep track yourself and reflect upon the impact expressing gratitude has upon your life. I hope you will be genuine, be specific, and be generous with your expressions.

Ask yourself throughout the day, "What is in my life right now that I am thankful for?" If it is a person, tell the person that you are thankful for them; if it is assistance or a favor given by someone, thank that person.

I hope this will be the beginning of a discipline that will last long after Thanksgiving Day, but for now, the challenge has been made: Try to express genuine gratitude at least three times a day between now and Thanksgiving, and, if you'd like, let me know what you learn from the challenge.

serve in the Air Force, flying several different aircraft and eventually retiring his wings to a desk job at the Air Force Academy.

“When it was time to stop flying, I was assigned to the Air Force Academy where I was the admissions counselor,” said Mann.

“Besides flying, that was probably one of my favorite duties in the Air Force.”

Mann retired as a lieutenant colonel and spent many of his later years telling his story of perseverance and hard work in the military at a time when African-American males were not allowed to fly.

During a question and answer session immediately following Mann’s comments, Chief Master Sgt. Robert Scarlett, 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron superintend-

ent, asked Mann about his relationship with his ground crew.

Mann thought for a moment and then responded.

“Well I think our relationships were good,” said Mann. “Because if they weren’t, then it could be very bad – I mean the man fixing your plane should be your friend,” said Mann jokingly.

When the questions were over Mann ended with one last remark.

“If I could give any advice to the young Airmen in today’s Air Force it would have to be to never give up on a dream,” said Mann.

“If you believe you can do something and someone tells you no, just keep working hard and you can achieve that dream.”

During the past two years, the 16th AS has had the pleasure of hearing first-hand from Tuskegee Airmen about the struggles they faced while chasing their dream of defending their country through the air.

Last year, retired Lt. Edward Gibson, a B25 Bomber with the 477th Bombardment Group in WW II, told his story to the Airman.

Gibson passed away in July of this year.

17th AS returns home in time for the holiday season

Courtesy of Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

More than 160 Airmen from the 17th Airlift Squadron returned home from a 120-day deployment to Southwest Asia when a commercial airliner touched down at Joint Base Charleston-Air Base Nov. 4.

Excitement filled the air as families and friends of deployed members gathered in the passenger terminal awaiting authorization to access Joint Base Charleston's flightline.

The anticipation of spouses, grandparents, children and friends was uncontainable as they waited to be reunited with their loved ones.

As the first Airmen exited the aircraft, the crowd erupted into cheers and tears as they searched for their returning hero.

"I am very happy my husband is returning home," said Rena Granholm, wife of Lt. Col. George Granholm, 17th AS director of operations. "It seems the second they leave everything breaks, but it is how you react to it and persevere through the troubling times that matters."

While the 17th AS had some deployment veterans, there were a handful of Airmen who earned the opportunity to participate in their first deployment. Some of these Airmen also had to ensure they completed their career development courses while overseas, which entailed studying material relating to their job and passing an end of course exam.

There were 10 members within the 17th AS who completed their career development courses during their deployment all averaging a 90 percent, to include Airman 1st Class Nicholas Church, 17th AS loadmaster.

"My deployment helped me gain extra experience relating to my job," Church explained. "I am happy with the way it went, but right now I am looking forward to spending time with my wife and having a good American steak."

While deployed, the Airmen of the 17th AS served under the 816th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron supporting overseas contingency operations. The 816th EAS is responsible for airlift, airdrop and aeromedical evacuations, all of which directly support the combatant commander.

hours and airlifted more than 105 million pounds of cargo and more than 14,000 personnel throughout Southwest Asia.

Additionally, the 17th AS executed 143 airdrops which resupplied service members serving in the areas of responsibility with 5.7 million pounds of supplies.

"Our crew was relatively young mixed in with a few seasoned members," said Lt. Col. Todd Groomes, 17th AS commander. "They did an outstanding job. With the high operation tempo, being away from home and the long days, they managed to stay focused and were amazing."

The 17th AS is one of four squadrons within the 437th Airlift Wing who share responsibility for the 816th EAS. The airlift squadrons rotate operating the 816th EAS continuously. Operation of the 816th EAS allows Air Mobility Command to consistently provide coverage to the AOR.

New tools let OSI engage community more effectively

Courtesy of Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

In order to capitalize on cyberspace and engage the community more effectively, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations has opened up its first “Anonymous Tip Line.”

The Tip Line can be accessed via the internet, texting or by a smartphone application.

With the new tool, anyone can provide OSI with anonymous tips on everything from drugs and theft, to terrorist activities and potential insider threats, said Special Agent Michael Hassan, AFOSI Det. 310 special agent in charge.

According to Hassan, when an individual submits a tip online, their form is sent using state-of-the-art software through a Secure Socket Connection. Tips submitted through the web are encrypted, confidential, anonymous and immedi-

ately and securely transferred directly to AFOSI. After submitting their tip, users will be provided with their own unique tip number and will be afforded an opportunity to create a password to use when checking on the status of their tip.

When an individual contacts the text, web or smart phone application Tip Line, they will always communicate with a live operator, according to Hassan. Once individuals submit their tip, they will be given a unique tip number. The live operator will never ask for your name or personal information.

In addition, the online and application provides for twoway communication, allowing individuals to send in photos and for agents to request more information without diminishing the tipster’s anonymity, said Hassan.

To submit a Web tip, go to https://www.tipsubmit.com/

WebTips.aspx?AgencyID=1111.

To report an anonymous tip using your smart phone: 1) Download the Smart Phone application, TipSubmit Mobile, from your mobile provider’s marketplace.

2) Choose “Manually Select an Agency.”

3) Choose “USA” then “Federal Agency,” then select AFOSI. 4) Create a password.

5) Select “New Tip.” 6) Fill out form with as much information as possible.

7) Select “Submit Tip.” To report an anonymous tip by text message, text “AFOSI” along with your tip information to 274637 (CRIMES).

Miracle League receives 437th AW support

By Sheila Turri Unit Program coordinator

Airmen from the 437th Airlift Wing presented a check in the amount of $500 on behalf of the Joint Base Charleston First Sergeant’s Council, to the Summerville Miracle League Nov. 3, in Summerville, S.C. The donation was raised by the First Sergeant’s Association during the Commander’s Cup Golf Tournament.

The 437th Maintenance Squadron is a sponsor for the Summerville Miracle League, a national program which provides a recreational outlet for children and adults with all types of disabilities.

Playing with team Falcons, Airmen from the 437th MXS Mavericks each partnered with a child for the game. Airmen helped the children with hit-

ting the ball and making sure they ran the bases.

Volunteers provided these children an opportunity to experience the joy and benefits that come from playing baseball and had fun themselves while enriching our community.

The Miracle League was founded in 1999 and began as a baseball league for children with disabilities and has since grown to a network of national and international community baseball organizations.

The Summerville Miracle Leagues’ goal is to enhance the lives of people with special needs.

This is accomplished primarily through the national pastime of baseball, but also includes other activities that bring together our military, athletes and their families in a positive and enriching way.

Members from the 628th Air Base Wing and 437th Airlift Wing recently attended the 2012 Logistics Officer Association Symposium in Washington, D.C. The purpose of LOA is to enhance the military logistics profession and provide an open forum to promote quality logistical support and logistics officer professional development.

Team Charleston attends Logistics Officer Association Symposium

By Staff Sgt. Anthony Hyatt Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Members from the 628th Air Base Wing and 437th Airlift Wing recently attended the Logistics Officer Association Symposium in Washington, D.C. The Logistics Officer Association Symposium is an organization comprised of more than 3,000 military officers and civilians in logistics fields around the globe. LOA membership opportunities include all logistics officers, to include the Air Force Specialty Codes of 21A, aircraft maintenance, 21M, munitions maintenance, and 21R, logistics readiness, as well as logistics professionals from other military services.

The purpose of LOA is to enhance the military logistics profession and provide an open forum to promote quality logistical support and logistics officer professional development, according to the LOA website.

Day one of the symposium featured the LOA University which included the following briefings: “Show Me the Money – Government Budget Cycle,” “Life Cycle Logistics Management,” “Supply Chain Management,” “Lean Applied to Business Processes,” “Reliability Centered Maintenance and Condition Based Maintenance,” and “Logisticians in the Joint Environment.”

Featured guest speakers on the second and third days of the symposium included: • Gen. Edward Rice, Air Education and

Training Command commander, • Lt. Gen. Judith Fedder, Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Installations and Mission Support, Headquarters U.S. Air Force • Maj. Gen. John Cooper, Director of Logistics, Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Installations and Mission Support, Headquarter U.S. Air Force • Lt. Gen. Bruce Litchfield, commander, Air Force Sustainment Center • Lt. Gen. Brooks Bash, Director for Logistics, Joint Staff • Clyde R. Hobby, Deputy Director of Defense Logistics Agency, Logistics Operations.

The 11 Joint Base Charleston officers in attendance also completed a briefing to all LOA members at their October monthly LOA meeting.

“The event was one of the best LOA events I’ve attended since my membership began in 2000,” said Maj. Christopher Carmichael, 437th Aerial Port Squadron commander and the current Globemaster Chapter president.

“Additionally, the LOA University took the symposium to the next level of logistics professional development. It was by far the best part of the event.”

The Charleston Globemaster LOA Chapter highly encourages civilian membership – both officer equivalent federal employees and private sector civilians who are members of military-related civilian organizations.

For more information on LOA membership, contact 2nd Lt. Daniel Musleve at 963-3156.

Story and photos by Senior Airman William Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Indian air force has begun sending about 100 airmen to Joint Base Charleston to receive instruction from the 373rd Training Squadron Detachment 5, on how to operate the 10 C-17 Globemaster IIIs they recently purchased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Indian air force purchased the C-17s and they need the training because these Indian airmen are going to be the ones standing up the initial C-17 unit (in India) and we were nominated to be the school house that teaches them,â&#x20AC;? said Tech. Sgt. Paul Higgins, 373rd TRS Detachment 5 electrical environmental instructor.

The 373rd TRS Detachment 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to provide aircraft maintenance to the Department of Defense and its allies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are learning the basics of the aircraft as well as the technical manual, which is quite helpful in learning the part numbers and other technical aspects of the C-17,â&#x20AC;? said Indian air force Junior Warrant Officer Prakash Chand.

Each specialty-specific class has four students. The length of the course varies by specialty, but usually lasts about four to six weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We teach across the boardâ&#x20AC;? said Higgins.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every specialty we have on the C-17, we are teaching here. We have electrical environmental, communication, navigation and general crew chief functions, just to name a few.â&#x20AC;?

The training includes classroom time as well as hands on work where the new maintainers apply the skills they learned in the classroom on simulation training aircraft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning here is going to help us to be able to maintain the C-17 aircraft in India,â&#x20AC;? said IAF Junior Warrant Officer Ranbir Singh Rana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have very good and experienced instructors and very good communication with them. We are catching on very quickly and when we have questions, they are able to clear up things quickly.â&#x20AC;?

The IAF expects to receive their 10 C-17s in June 2013. India paid $4.1 billion for the aircraft, which is expected to replace their IL76 fleet.

The C-17 provides the Indian air force with a payload of 164,900 pounds and can take off from a 7,000-foot airfield, fly 2,400 nautical miles, and land on a small, austere airfield with runways of 3,000 feet or less. The C-17 is equipped with an externally blown flap system that allows a steep, low-speed final approach and low-landing speeds for routine short-field landings.

The first group of students is slated to graduate Nov. 9.

A student from the Indian Air Force takes notes during a lecture on the C-17 Globemaster III Nov. 1, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. The training includes classroom time as well as hands-on work where the airmen apply the skills they learned in the classroom on simulation training aircraft.

MCPON releases Zeroing In On Excellence initiative

Courtesy of the Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy

WASHINGTON – Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens released his 'Zeroing in on Excellence' initiative in the form of four letters to the Navy Chiefs' Mess Nov. 6.

The 'Zeroing in on Excellence' initiative consists of three focus areas: developing leaders, good order and discipline, and controlling what we own.

"Zeroing in on Excellence is a universal theme we can all apply in our respective positions," said Stevens. "It does not distract from or add to existing individual roles and responsibilities - it provides a sturdy framework around which we can build sound, durable readiness."

In his letters, MCPON clearly and concisely outlined his thoughts on the overarching theme of 'Zeroing in on Excellence' and how each of the three focus areas help create an environment where the Navy gets stronger.

"I believe developing leaders, fostering good order and discipline and controlling what we own help us get precisely that type of environment, now and down the road," said Stevens.

"These are not single actions; they are deliberate mindsets that permeate our processes and procedures."

MCPON stated that his focus points could be powerful engines of influence, but assured the Mess it is their commitment to this vision that would help the ideas within it "become a heightened part of our consciousness."

"If we grab 'Zeroing in on Excellence' and maintain a steady strain on the ideas it entails, we will have a positive impact on readiness and get after some of the issues tainting our Navy, including sexual assault, suicide, domestic violence and alcohol/drug abuse," said Stevens.

In MCPON's letter on 'Zeroing in on Excellence: Developing Leaders', he discussed the importance of developing leaders through a combination of mentorship, practical experience and training.

"Without competent leadership, even the most routine tasks can become difficult," said Stevens. "If our Navy is going to continue climbing, then we as chief petty officers must always seek to increase our and our Sailors' ability to lead."

MCPON talked about the solid inventory of quality leadership training available to the enlisted community and how that combined with routine, daily, personal interaction will foster the kind of leadership that is necessary to ensure our Navy's continued success.

MCPON's letter, 'Zeroing in on Excellence: Good Order

and Discipline', focused on the impact Good Order and Discipline has on warfighting, readiness and mission accomplishment.

"To me, it [good order and discipline] is about establishing, sustaining and enforcing professional standards that set the condition for individual and unit success," said Stevens.

"Anything that interferes with or detracts from those conditions is contrary to Good Order and Discipline."

MCPON stated that by-and-large he believes we are doing well in this area, but there is always room for improvement. He emphasized chief petty officers own good order and discipline and every CPO, first and foremost, must set the conditions through personal example and integrity in their own actions.

MCPON's 'Zeroing in on Excellence' letters lay the framework for individual Chiefs' Messes and commands to work within, allowing them to take his guidance and determine how to best employ the initiative to their specific commands and messes in order to functionally and effectively support CNO's Sailing Directions, build an environment where our entire Navy gets stronger, and follow the fundamental standard to work hard, stay out of trouble and be good and decent people.

USS Enterprise returns home from final deployment Courtesy of USS Enterprise Public Affairs

NORFOLK, Va. – More than 5,500 Sailors and Marines assigned to the Enterprise Carrier Strike Group arrived in Norfolk, Va., Nov. 4, 2012, following a seven-and-a-halfmonth deployment supporting operations in the Mediterranean and the Arabian Seas.

USS Enterprise's return to Norfolk marks the 25th and final homecoming in her 51 years of distinguished service.

The aircraft carrier is scheduled to be inactivated Dec. 1, in a ceremony at Norfolk Naval Station, in Norfolk, Va. "We are pleased to be returning to our families after a very successful deployment, but to know that it is the last time Enterprise will be underway through her own power makes our return very sentimental," said Capt. William Hamilton, Enterprise commanding officer.

While deployed, Enterprise CSG served in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility, conducting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts and missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

During her 238 days away from Norfolk, "Big E," as Enterprise is affectionately known, safely steamed 80,968 miles and Carrier Air Wing 1 flew more than 8,000 sorties in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and exercises in the 5th and 6th Fleet AORs. "This has not been a victory lap for Enterprise by any means," said Rear Adm. Ted Carter, Enterprise Carrier Strike Group commander. "This has been a full-on combat opera-

tion. We've seen the full spectrum of Navy operations on this deployment. It's been a business as usual kind of deployment."

Enterprise was commissioned Nov. 25, 1961 as the eighth ship to bear the name Enterprise. Big E was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. During her 51 years of service, Enterprise deployed 25 times and participated in every major conflict since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Enterprise has been homeported in both Alameda, Calif., and Norfolk, Va., and conducted operations in every region of the world.

The December inactivation ceremony will be the last official public event for Enterprise, and will serve as a celebration of life for the ship and the more than 100,000 Sailors who have served aboard the ship. All Enterprise veterans, their families, shipyard workers, and friends are invited to register to attend the inactivation week events and the ceremony on the ship's website, www.enterprise.navy.mil. Tickets to the events will be on a first available basis.

Enterprise CSG is comprised of: Commander, Carrier Strike Group 12, the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65), CVW 1, Destroyer Squadron 2, guided-missile destroyers USS Porter (DDG 78), USS Nitze (DDG 94), and USS James E. Williams (DDG 95).

The squadrons of CVW 1 embarked aboard Enterprise are: Strike Fighter Squadron 11 "Red Rippers," VFA-136 "Knighthawks," VFA-211 "Fighting Checkmates,"Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 "Thunderbolts," Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 123 "Screwtops," Carrier

Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 137 "Rooks," Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 "Rawhides,"and Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 11 "Dragonslayers."
