It's been a busy three months ... everyone take a deep breath From 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs and 437th Airlift Wing

After nearly three months of increased mission tempo, operations at Joint Base Charleston are returning to more normal levels. Since September of this year, JB Charleston has played an important role in many international events, such as the West African Ebola troop movement, Afghanistan drawdown, ISIL counter-insurgency and presidential transport support. While JB Charleston will continue to support these types of missions, December 15, 2014, marked the end of the surge. Charleston's C-17s have flown nearly 30 Operation UNITED ASSISTANCE missions which supported humanitarian aid to contain the spread of the Ebola virus. Charleston C-17s have also moved detainees from Guantanamo Bay and supported the Secretary of Defense. Aircrews transported the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to a NATO defense summit and to a meeting with coalition partners in Iraq, while also

enabling numerous presidential movements around the world to countries including: China, Vietnam, Australia, Estonia and the United Kingdom. During this time, JB Charleston Airmen received, packaged and shipped 88 tons of humanitarian aid, helping to feed more than 20,000 displaced refugees in Iraq. JB Charleston Airmen have reliably supported and executed these missions while continuing to perform ongoing retrograde operations in Afghanistan as well as local training sorties. This surge effort required all of JB Charleston's Airmen to operate 10 to 15 percent above normal capacity, resulting in 2,871 sorties, more than 10,000 flight hours and 101 million pounds of delivered cargo. "Complementing the JB Charleston mission were our reservists, citizen Airmen who continue to balance their civilian careers with their military duty while supporting these operations," said Lt. Col. Russ Catanach, 315th Operations Group deputy commander. "The Reserve crews demonstrate

that the 315th Airlift Wing's volunteer C-17 crewmembers stand capable and ready to fly anywhere in the world to support the nation's objectives, whether during conflict or in response to humanitarian crises of any nature. This volunteer force, coupled with active-duty crew members, enabled JB Charleston to meet the challenges faced during these past three months." In a perfect world, returning to regular operations means a few more JB Charleston Airmen will have the opportunity to spend the winter holidays with their loved ones, providing much-needed relief from the high operations tempo. Aircraft demand will return to normal levels, allowing aircrew and maintenance personnel more time to complete inspections and training requirements, thus ensuring JB Charleston's ability to meet future demands. "I am proud of the way our crews responded to the surge; as tired as they are, I know they're still ready for the next contingency," said Lt. Col. Mark Baran, 14th Airlift Squadron commander.

USNS Watkins moors at JB Charleston, ASLAC on-loads equipment

INSIDE

The USNS Watkins (T-AKR 315) arrived at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., Dec. 5, 2014, to load tons of military gear into its 394,000 square foot cargo stowage area. And that will take time as the ship's carrying capacity is larger than seven football fields. This on-load mission is conducted by the Army Strategic Logistics Activity Charleston and its team of 34 Department of Defense civilians, nine military service members and numerous contractors, along with the Army's 841st Transportation Battalion also located at JB Charleston. "We've scheduled 10 working days to complete the on-load," said Robert O'Brien, ASLAC general manager. "However, we could always complete the mission sooner." Watkins is one of 19 large, medium-speed (24 knots), roll-on/roll-off ships belonging to the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command. Once loaded with military combat and combat support equipment, the Watkins will be prepositioned overseas, capable of re-supplying the nation’s armed forces during contingencies or a national crisis. Before the on-load begins, all of the mili-

tary cargo is inspected, road tested, serviced and repaired as necessary by ASLAC to meet Army standards. Additionally, thousands of pieces of equipment are processed, packaged and stored onto the backs of cargo carriers or loaded into containers. The Army continually upgrades the Army Prepositioned Stock (APS)-3 equipment. Finally, the cargo is labeled for accountability and convoyed back to Wharf Alpha to be loaded onboard. "From a military stand point, it's important to know the capabilities Charleston has," said O'Brien. "Team Charleston supports the warfighter with land, sea and air." Don Strunk, Army Strategic Logistical Activity – Charleston manager, waits as vehicles are loaded onto the USNS Watkins (T-AKR 315), Dec. 15, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C.

Trust empowers all, allows innovation

By Col. Jeffrey DeVore 628th Air Base Wing commander

In mid-November, we held a series of 628th Air Base Wing CC Calls and talked about our wing priorities and special interest items. We followed that up in December with visits to the squadrons and staff directorates to talk further about how we can ensure supervisors at the lowest levels are translating the priorities into action. Through the CC Calls and squadron visits, we focused on one thing ... trust. Trust is a word that can take years to gain ... and yet seconds to lose. A word that seems so simple, yet is so complex. A word that defines our professional and personal behavior in and out of uniform. Simply put ... a word that makes or breaks our organization. I need you all to know that I trust you and that your wing leadership team trusts you. And we will continue to trust you until you give us a reason not to. You are the experts when it comes to mission success. You are the experts at enabling readiness. You do it very well. And I feel fortunate to be part of your team. Sometimes, in execution, we make mistakes. It is part of human nature. It happens. I make mistakes all the time. Luckily, I have a wing full of professionals to catch me when I make a mistake. I have you to pick me up, dust me off and get me back on

To the Airmen of the United States Air Force: At this very moment, Airmen are hard at work standing guard over nuclear assets, combating extremism, and fighting disease. You’re also tracking satellites, opening airfields, defending our networks, and so much more. Indeed, your commitment and sacrifices allows Americans to celebrate this holiday season in safety. We’ve seen your pride, passion, and professionalism all across the globe, and are grateful for our Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, and Civilian Airmen. Together, you make up the finest Air Force that the world has ever known. While many of you will celebrate the holidays with family and friends, our thoughts are particu-

Don’t drink and drive. You’ve heard this message from peers, supervisors, commanders and law enforcement hundreds of times, but has it really hit home? Nearly half of all fatal crashes in South Carolina involve an impaired driver. Too many people are still taking risks that lead to their own death or the loss of an innocent life nearly every day right here in our state. These are the facts: In 2012, 348 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. Nearly 50 percent of single vehicle fatal crashes involve an impaired driver. The rate of alcohol involvement in collisions was nearly four times higher at

night (9 p.m. to 3 a.m.) than during the day (43percent vs. 11 percent). Sober or Slammer is not just a campaign slogan. It’s life or death. Before you make the choice to drink and drive, think about this: Who would you leave behind if you were killed in a drunken driving collision? Whose life would you selfishly take if you lived through the crash? If you survive, you’ll have plenty of time to think about your choice behind bars. Ready for some more facts? South Carolina has implied consent law that states: “Any person driving in this state is considered to have given consent for testing of breath, blood or urine for the purpose of determining the presence of alcohol and/or drugs in the person’s system, if alleged to have committed a

violation. If you refuse to submit to BAC testing, you face an automatic 90-day suspension.” South Carolina law also prohibits an open container of beer, wine or liquor in a moving vehicle of any kind. If convicted, you will face a $100 fine or imprisonment up to 30 days. Impaired drivers are on the radar of South Carolina law enforcement. Nearly 27,000 DUI arrests were made in South Carolina last year. Also, motorists are highly encouraged to call *HP (or *47) if they see someone they suspect is driving while impaired. If you would like more information regarding the Sober or Slammer campaign go to: http://www.scsoberorslammer.com/ So, which choice will you make when you drive … Sober or Slammer?

Operation Cookie Caper delivers sweet treats to single service members

Story and photos by Jessica Donnelly 628th Force Support Squadron Marketing

Members of the Joint Base Charleston community came together to bring holiday cookies to single service members across the installations, Dec. 15-18, as part of the third annual Operation Cookie Caper. The Fleet and Family Support Center partnered with Team Charleston Spouses Club to collect cookie donations on the Weapons Station and Air Base to be distributed to the service members. In the previous years, TCSC has called their cookie drive Operation Cookie Drop, while FFSC has called theirs Cookie Caper. As part of the combined effort they renamed this years' service Operation Cookie Caper. "The Operation Cookie Caper entails the military spouses and community partners coming together to spread holiday cheer to the single service members," said Angela Cottman, FFSC work life consultant. "It's a way for the single service members to enjoy the holidays with a taste of home-made cookies." Cottman explained that Fleet and Family began this initiative in 2012 after noticing how many single service members are stationed at the Weapons Station during the holidays. This is the first year they have partnered with the Spouses Club, which has been delivering cookies on the Air Base for six years, as a way to increase the number of service members reached. "TCSC is excited to partner with Fleet and Family and hopefully make this operation a bigger success then it already is," said Tonya

Prentiss, TCSC president. "The response has been tremendous and the outpouring of cookies and goodies for these service members has been great." Fleet and Family received cookie donations from the Navy Wives Club of America Menriv Park, Girl Scout Troop 602, Navy Federal Credit Union, JB Charleston - WS Youth Programs Cooking Club, FFSC staff members and JB Charleston military spouses. Youth Program teen volunteers dedicated their time after school to bag the cookies in holiday packaging to be distributed. Between the two organizations, more than 1,500 bags of cookies were distributed to the single Sailors and Airmen. Fleet and Family delivered the cookies to the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command dormitories, Naval Health Clinic Charleston, Army Reserves, Naval Consolidated Brig staff, Naval Support Activity, Nuclear Power Training Unit, Navy Operational Support Center and the Navy Munitions Command. The spouses club handed out cookies during lunch at the Gaylor Dining Facility on the Air Base and the Weapons Station Galley. They also delivered cookie platters to various units that provide 24/7 operations, such as the fire department and security forces. With the increased success of the initiative, Cottman said FFSC plans to continue providing this service for the single service members as a way to bring JB Charleston together for a good cause. "The most important involvement comes from the military community," added Cottman. "We just want them to all know we're thinking of them during the holidays."

628th SFS SNCO named one of AMC’s best By Trisha Gallaway 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

Air Mobility Command recently named a 628th Security Forces Squadron member as one of its annual security forces award winners. Master Sgt. David Adcox, 628th SFS, was named the Outstanding Security Forces Flight Level winner in the Senior Non-Commissioned Officer category. Adcox has filled in as the squadron's superintendent, where he led 403 Security Forces Airmen at 119 different posts. He also deployed with 18 Airmen to Afghanistan, ensuring three forward operating bases had enhanced security.

While deployed, Adcox managed the area of responsibilities second largest search area. He vetted more than 630,000 personnel and searched more than 125,000 vehicles. Of those, 26 individuals were not allowed access to the installation and 40 contraband items were seized. Adcox also led 80, outside-the-wire patrols with host nations. During these patrols, he secured a 23- square mile perimeter, thwarting surface to air missile threats, ensuring 6,000 combat sorties were able to take off on time. Self-improvement also played in role in his Adcox's award selection. He was selected by the 628th Air Base Wing commander to attend the Dale Carnegie Leadership course where he gained team building and communication skills. Cox was

awarded the weekly "Top Speaker" award four different times. Finally, he led the 2014 Police Week events where he coordinated the jail/bail evasion challenge and retreat. Police Week is an annual remembrance, honoring police officers who lost their lives while serving the public. "I'm elated that Master Sgt. Adcox received this prestigious award which truly acknowledges his leadership and numerous sacrifices, contributions and successes," said Lt. Col. Warren Brainard, 628th SFS commander. "Master Sgt. Adcox epitomizes the qualities and characteristics recognized in this award and he will represent Joint Base Charleston's defenders well as he competes at the Air Force level."

Air Force Fitness Management System slated for upgrade By Debbie Gildea Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas – Active-duty, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard officers and enlisted members who want to maintain copies of their pre-July 2010 fitness records need to access the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS) and save or print their records by Dec. 30. AFFMS will be offline from Dec. 31 - Jan. 11 to enable AFPC teams to transition content to the improved Air Force Fitness Management System II, said 1st Lt. Nathan Strickland, the AFPC Special Programs branch chief. When

the new system comes back online, it will not include fitness information older than July 2010. The new system - AFFMS II - will improve accessibility and fitness program managers' ability to manage fitness program records. In addition, it will feature more stringent security controls to protect members' information from unauthorized changes or updates. "This system will provide Total Force Airmen with a more up-to-date, user-friendly fitness management system that will better support the overall Air Force Fitness program," Strickland said. While there is no requirement for Airmen to maintain fitness records, Strickland advises Airmen who would like to

maintain a copy of their fitness history prior to July 2010 to go to the current AFFMS site by Dec. 30 and download or print their pre-July 2010 information. "In the interim, base fitness assessment centers and unit fitness program managers will maintain hard copies of fitness score sheets for Airmen who test while the system is down and will update those records once AFFMS II is up and running," Strickland said. To save copies of pre-July 2010 records, go to the Air Force Portal, hover the curser over the "Life & Fitness" menu and select "AF Fitness Management System" from the drop down menu.

Weather Flight observes Mother Nature Story and photo by Senior Airman Jared Trimarchi 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

Airmen from the 437th Operations Support Squadron Weather Flight participated in a three-day Manual Observing Weather exercise Dec. 10 - 12, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston S.C. The Weather Flight, operated by seven Airmen, is responsible for providing weather data to commanders during the planning phases of C-17 Globemaster III missions worldwide, and every other month they participate in the exercise which is required by the Air Mobility Command. The exercise requires weather forecasters to manually observe weather patterns and weather data, information usually generated automatically through advance weather satellites and radars. "Manual Weather Observation exercises are a grand opportunity for the weather Airmen who are stationed here because it allows them to work on the skills required for a deployed environment," said Master Sgt. Jamie Britt, Weather Flight chief. "Instead of relying on technology, forecasters are forced to focus on the basics of weather such as wind speed, temperature and visibility. We get this information by going outside and actually seeing what clouds are in the area, estimating the cloud ceiling and if it's raining, we write that information down as well." The exercise is centered on the use of the Tactical Meteorological Observing System, which is what weather Airmen use to observe weather in a deployed environment. Through this device weather Airmen can gather information

such as visibility, lightning detection, ambient pressure and dew point. Weather information is crucial to pilots who rely on the data to land and take off C-17s, Britt said. According to Staff Sgt. Maelyn Belmondo, Weather Flight Mission Services NCOIC, manual observation exercises are a great training opportunity because in Charleston, The Federal Aviation Authority is in charge of generating weather data for the airfield. "I like these types of exercises because they allow me to go outside and actually observe what the weather is doing," Belmondo said. "It is also a great opportunity to train the younger Airmen and give them hands-on training with equipment they will use on deployment." The Weather Flight, which is normally manned from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., providing weather updates to pilots who are headed out on missions, went to 24-hour operations for the exercise. "Overall the exercise was a great success," Britt said. "The team did an outstanding job and I'm proud of how well every member performed. How well would we perform our mission if our main system of gathering weather information failed? Outstanding!"

Senior Airman Lance Hayes points out cloud patterns to Staff Sgt. Maelyn Belmondo in front of a Tactical Meteorological Observing System, Dec. 11, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. The JB Charleston Weather Flight participated in a threeday Manual Observing Weather exercise Dec. 10 – 12, requiring weather forecasters to manually observe weather patterns and weather data. Hayes is a Weather Flight weather forecaster and Belmondo is a Weather Flight Mission Services NCOIC.

2014 AMC Safety Award winners announced From 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

Air Force officials released the winners of the 2014 Air Mobility Command Safety Awards Dec. 2, 2014, and Joint Base Charleston had three Airmen recognized for their accomplishments. Master Sgt. Justin Taylor, 628th Air Base Wing Safety Office, was nominated for the Air Force Chief of Safety Outstanding Achievement Award for Weapons Safety. Capt. Ashish Patel, 14th Airlift Squadron was nominated for the Koren Kolligian, Jr. Trophy and Leanne Gelwicks, 437th Operations Support Squadron, was awarded the AMC Outstanding Safety Civilian of the Year Award (Additional Duty). "It is an honor to be nominated," said Taylor. "In fact, I view it as a win for the safety office. We have all worked very hard to develop the best safety program possible. It feels great to have our work recognized." According to Taylor, the safety program is one of the most important pieces to any organization and is geared towards protecting people and resources. "Many of our safety standards were written in blood, meaning something went horribly wrong, and guidance was developed to prevent the incident from ever happening again," Taylor said. "Ultimately, it is everyone's responsibility to ensure their environment is safe and having a safety program helps to make that happen." Gelwicks is responsible for the 437th OSS Ground Safety Program which encompasses production, process, facility, explosive and motorcycle safety. "Safety must be a proactive program," Gelwicks said. "If you wait to react to a problem, it could be too late. The safety team members keep us in compliance, but all Airmen must be involved in safety culture to have a successful program. "That is why all awards are really team efforts. I would like to thank the commanders for their guidance, the flight safety reps for their collaboration, and 437th Aircrew Flight Equipment leadership for their support."

AFSOC looks for in-service candidates

Story and photos by Senior Airman Jared Trimarchi 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

An Air Force Special Operations Command in-service recruiter visited Joint Base Charleston, S.C., Dec. 9, to meet and talk to potential special operations candidates. Technical Sgt. Ismael Villegas, a combat controller who is a two-time Silver Star recipient, answered questions for more than 20 JB Charleston Airmen and Cadets from the Citadel who are interested in becoming combat controllers, pararescuemen, special operations weather specialists or special tactics officers. "My purpose for today's visit is to put a face to the career field," Villegas said. "I'm here to answer any questions or concerns about the career these Airmen are interested in to include what the job entails, the journey to become one of these special operations Airmen, and about family life." Some of the Airmen and Cadets who attended the meeting participated in a practice Physical Ability and Stamina Test, a required physical performance evaluation necessary to get into the special operations selection schools. The PAST includes a 500-meter swim, a mile and a half run, pull-ups, push-ups and sit-ups. "Form is an important aspect of our selection process and we want to set up Airmen for success," Villegas said. "I show Airmen the proper way to perform each exercise, and then I coach their form." Staff Sgt. Robert Gallagher, a 560th Red Horse Squadron reservist, said having a Combat Controller answer his questions and give him advice was a real advantage eye opener. "I am currently in the process to become a Combat Controller and having Tech. Sgt. Villegas here was a true honor," Gallagher said. "He is a tremendous leader who I look up to and have learned from." According to Villegas, being part of the AFSOC is a humbling experience. "My shelf life is expiring," Villegas said. "I'm getting too old and I have to find Airmen who will someday fill my shoes. "The Air Force has done a fine job grooming and molding Airmen to become great leaders so we look for people amongst our service to join Air Force Special Operations Command."

Tool to safeguard PII scheduled for December rollout AF wide From 24th Air Force Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas – The Digital Signature Enforcement Tool has been implemented Air Force-wide, providing Microsoft Outlook email users with an interactive, automated virtual assistant to help ensure the security of personally identifiable information. "I can't overstate the operational importance of preventing PII breaches," said Maj. Gen. B. Edwin Wilson, commander of 24th Air Force and Air Forces Cyber. "It's not an IT problem, it's a Total Force problem and DSET is an effective tool the Total Force can use, right now, to help reduce inadvertent PII breaches." Beyond potential identity theft, PII breaches can lead to significant compromises in operational security. For example, a well-meaning member working to meet an operational deadline sends an unencrypted email, containing PII on several unit members, to a "non .mil" email account. The sender could be attempting to get ahead on a project or be providing a status update to unit members on pending unit movements. Unknown to the sender, hackers have

compromised email transport infrastructure between the sender's desktop and one of the destination, "non .mil" desktops. Hackers intercepting this unencrypted email traffic can utilize the newly acquired personal information to form specifically targeted attacks, known as spear phishing, to acquire additional information such as account numbers or passwords. Unfortunately the attack does not stop there. Once an attacker has acquired enough information, he can simulate user accounts or even pass off communications on behalf of the service member, who is likely still unaware that his information has been compromised. Those false communications could be leveraged to gain digital access to Air Force systems, or even physical access to installations and personnel. Obviously, the negative implications caused by PII breaches are severe, and equipping the force with tools to mitigate the risk is paramount. DSET version 1.6.1, an updated version of the DSET 1.6.0 software already in use by the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air Force Space Command, contains fixes for some previously identified software bugs as well as enhancements to make the digital tool more effective. "DSET 1.6.0 launched back in July to three major commands," said Alonzo Pugh, cyber business system analyst for 24th AF. "Feedback has been overwhelmingly favorable for the use of the tool, and version 1.6.1 is definitely ready for Air Force-wide usage." DSET is regarded as a short-term fix to help all Air Force network users protect PII, specifically if that information is to be included in an email communication. DSET 1.6.1 still only scans for PII in the form of social security numbers, leaving overall responsibility on the user to safeguard the sensitive information in all of its forms. "First, the user should ask him or herself if the PII in the email is truly necessary," said Pugh. "DSET scans the email draft before transmission. If PII is identified, DSET will notify the user through a series of pop-up windows. This interactivity allows the user to make a conscious decision of how to proceed with the information in question." According to Pugh, if the information must be transmitted, encrypting the PII is all that is necessary to protect the data during transmission. DSET will trigger when it detects potential PII in an email, giving the user the opportunity to delete the information if not necessary to the communication, encrypt the information, or override and transmit the email as originally written. If the file containing PII is already encrypted - through the Microsoft Office "protect" permission feature or some other software - DSET will not trigger and the email can be sent as usual to any recipient's email address, whether ".mil," ".com," etc. However, if the email itself is encrypted through Microsoft Outlook, the communication is only safe to transmit to a recipient's ".mil" email address. An email encrypted in this fashion cannot be sent to any "non-.mil" addresses. If the user attempts to do so, DSET and Microsoft Outlook will provide pop-up boxes explaining the user's options. "I can't overstress the importance of reading the information in the pop-up box," said Pugh. "Read the training materials on the use of DSET; read the training slides on how to use Microsoft Office features to encrypt various documents; understand how these tools can help you safeguard PII." In preparation for the Air Force-wide release of DSET, you can access training at: DSET tutorials: https://afpki.lackland.af.mil/tutorials/dset/ DSET Quick Reference Guide: https://afpki.lackland.af.mil/assets/files/OE-15-40-064_ QRG-DSET_v0001.pdf Additional training on how to encrypt Microsoft Office documents can be accessed at: http://www.24af.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-140701-064.pdf Users have multiple tools at their disposal to protect PII if encrypting e-mail is not feasible, but if electronic transmission of sensitive PII is operationally required, users can leverage approved Department of Defense file exchange services at: https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe/ More information regarding DSET implementation can be found at: http://www.24af.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123417788

SAPR Corner Dealing with holiday stress

By Ruby Godley Naval Weapons Station Victim Advocate

Holidays can be a time of cheer, celebration, and good times. But for some, the holidays are also a time of stress, bad memories, and triggers. It can be hard to regroup when stress is at its peak. Here are some easy ways that may help alleviate some of those feelings and help you enjoy some much deserved time off. 1. Acknowledge your feelings. – It’s ok to take time to yourself and recognize how you feel. 2. Reach out. – Look for support and companionship through community, religious or other social events. 3. Plan ahead. – Set aside specific days to get ready for travel, prepare for gatherings, etc.

4. Don’t abandon healthy habits. – Get plenty of sleep, eat healthy snacks in between those holiday treats, and keep up with physical activity/exercise. 5. Take a breather. – Make time for yourself, whether it’s a day to enjoy your favorite activities or a 15 minute walk to collect your thoughts. 6. Seek professional help. – Keep numbers like the DoD Safe Helpline (877-9955-247) and other useful resources on hand, just in case you need to talk to someone about how you’re feeling. If you or someone you know needs assistance local help is available 24/7 through the Weapons Station Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Victim Advocate Hotline, which can be reached at (843)4788615 or the Air Base SAPR Hotline at (843) 963-7272.

Chapel Corner Recognizing a national holiday

By Chaplain Brett Cartwright Joint Base Charleston

The celebration of Christmas is more than a religious holiday. As a national holiday, it is a strange coupling by our nation of the stories of the birth of Jesus Christ and Santa Claus. Yet, Santa would probably tell you they are intertwined. Listening to the local radio stations you’ll find both stories being performed in song. For most people, this holiday is generally acknowledged as a good and merry event

because of the foundational themes and messages about home, children, blessings of family life, relationships with our neighbors and with God. The right foundation can produce good results. Values like joy, generosity, and peace as associated with the Christmas season are values that benefit everyone. For example, the exchanging of gifts and the general regard of the welfare of others during the Christmas season is rare in a world in which self-reliance and self-promotion generally reigns.

AF announces no involuntary force management programs for FY15 From Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – Air Force officials announced there is no longer a need to conduct involuntary force management programs for fiscal year 2015 following a year of significant reductions designed to meet the Defense Department strategic and budgetary guidance. Officials confirmed that fiscal year 2014 goals were achieved to size and shape the force, eliminating the previously anticipated requirement to conduct a second round of involuntary programs in fiscal year 2015. "My travels and discussion with Airmen this past year have

convinced me that enough is enough,” said Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James. “Therefore, we will not have additional, involuntary boards in FY15." Targeted fiscal year 2015 voluntary programs, with eligibility limited by both grade and Air Force specialty codes, will be offered to help properly shape the force. These nonmonetary opportunities are part of the normal steady-state force management programs used annually to size and shape the force according to mandated end strength. Voluntary programs will include waivers of some activeduty service commitments (ADSC), reductions of required time in grade for retirements, and reductions from 10 to eight

years of commissioned service for retirements, allowing prior enlisted officers to retire with eight years of commissioned time versus 10. The Palace Chase program will still be in place, but the expanded option of a one-for-one transfer will not be available this year. Specific details on voluntary programs will be released in early 2015. For more information on force management and other personnel programs, visit the myPers.

Deadline nears for Military Child of Year nominations From DoD News, Defense Media Activity

A deadline extension means friends, families and mentors still have a few days to nominate children of military families for Operation Homefront's Military Child of the Year awards program. The nonprofit organization will accept nominations at http://militarychildoftheyear.org through Dec. 19, officials said.

Resilience, Strength of Character The Military Child of the Year Award recognizes children who stand out among their peers, Operation Homefront officials said. Ideal candidates demonstrate resilience and strength of character and thrive in the face of the challenges of military life, they added. Each nominee will receive a written commemoration acknowledging his or her nomination. Family members, teachers, coaches, counselors, clergy, neighbors and friends van nominate military children for the award. "I'm looking forward to meeting the extraordinary young people who will receive our 2015 award," said Tim Farrell, chief operating officer for Operation Homefront. "With our nomination period squarely in the holiday season, we know it's one of the busiest times of the year for military families, teachers and all the other people who might nominate an outstanding military kid."
