Joint Base Charleston on track By Eric Sesit, NWS Charleston Public Affairs
recommendations that eventually required combining 26 separate military installations into 12 joint bases. In making the decision on combining the two Charleston bases, BRAC looked at how both installations executed their separate support missions and found that both used similar or near similar processes. BRAC also looked at the proximity of the bases to each other and saw an opportunity to reduce duplication of support efforts resulting in a reduction of overall manpower and facilities requirements which would generate substantial savings. Once the decision to combine the bases was made, BRAC had to decide on the lead or receiving service. The commission looked at the quantitative military value score of Charleston AFB and compared it to NWS Charleston. The score was too close to be the Photo by JB CHS public affairs sole factor determining the lead installation New signs are appearing around the Lowcountry as Charleston Air for management functions. Charleston AFB Force Base and Naval Weapons Station Charleston move towards was tagged as the lead installation because of its mission in support of operational forces the October 1 consolidation. compared to NWS Charleston, which has a It has been five years in the making, but on October 1, 2010, primary mission to support training and industrial activities.

Activity, Charleston, the embed Navy unit in JB CHS which will occur upon the disestablishment of NWS Charleston on Oct. 1. Their goals are clear cut and spelled out in the new Joint Base mission statement: Provide globally ready forces and installation support for Joint Base Charleston. Five years after BRAC’s decision, teams of civilian and military from both the Navy and the Air Force continue to wade through the myriad of military red tape to bring JB CHS to life. “Surprisingly, although joint basing will provide better services for the entire community, very few people will actually be affected by the move,” said LT. Kenneth K. Reikofski, Joint Base military liaison officer. “A little more than 2,000 people, military and civilians will be directly impacted, and for most of them, their jobs will remain the same. “The only difference some of our civil servents will see is that they are now Air Force employees. However, when you’re talking about people that have been with the Navy for 20, sometimes 30 years, it’s a little harder to change then someone who only has a few years of government service. There will definitely be some growing pains.” For the tenant commands on both NWS Charleston and Charleston AFB, joint basing should be fairly transparent. “Both bases have been providing outstanding services to their tenant commands for years. This is not going to change. Providing our customers with the best service possible is what joint basing is all about,” said Reikofski. “Our tenant commands constantly provide us feedback, objective assessments and measures of our performance in how well we provide our services to them. Under joint basing, our combined services will be nothing less than world class.”

The XO is onboard and he has made it his mission to get me into shape for my next assignment. Not that there is anything wrong with that, except when you hit the pavement at 5:30 a.m., you don’t expect to walk out into a sweltering 85 degrees with 90 percent humidity. But that’s just what we’ve been experiencing here in the LowCountry for the past month or so. We’ve set records for the most days in a row above 90 degrees. Last week I heard the weatherman actually say it was going to feel like 120 degrees. Now I really can’t tell that much difference between, oh say, 105 versus 120 degrees. I just know it’s hot. And my body tells me it’s time to slow down and take it easy. I hope all of you are heeding the heat advisories that are being put out and exercising earlier in the morning or later in the evening and drinking as much water as possible to stay hydrated.
Now, onto a brighter note, at least for all you parents out there: school is starting back in another week or so. (That means football season is just around the corner!) That noise you just heard was the sound of thousands of children plopping face first in their Coco Puffs. Back-to-school means the end of summer for our kids, but it also can add a whole new level of stress to our lives: finding money for back to school clothes and school supplies, dealing with bullies on the bus, dogs eating homework, etc. I encourage each of you as parents to set your child up for success in their upcoming school year. Get involved with them. Ask them about their studies, their teachers, their assignments. Join the PTA and go to their meetings. Children don’t go to school to fail. Sometimes the only thing they need to be successful is a little input and yes, love, from their parents. Be a part of your children’s lives. Your children AND their teachers will thank you for it. There are two articles in this week’s paper about Joint Basing. The first is to fill you in on what Joint Basing is all about. We’ve talked about it so much, I thought it would be important for you to understand the basics and what it is exactly that joint basing will accomplish. Our staffs are working feverishly to meet the October 1 deadline, and by the looks of things, we will definitely be a full-up joint base by the deadline. The other article lists a series of fun events that will coincide with
the new joint base. These events promise to be a great time for all commands that take part and I encourage you to start planning for these events now. One of the changes that we will definitely see at NWS Charleston due to joint basing will be more Air Force uniforms working in and around the base. I envision a good six months to a year “shake out” period where we and our Air Force counterparts learn each others’ methods of doing business. There might be some confusion at first as to where everyone in your organization stands. However, the military has a time-proven method of dealing with this confusion. It’s called the rank structure. For example, there is absolutely no difference between an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel (0-5) and a Navy Commander (0-5) other than their title. In the mini-series Band of Brothers, a character named Capt. Sobel strolls past Major Winters without saluting. Winters corrects Sobel: “Captain, you salute the rank, not the man.” Shipmates, it’s easy. Treat everyone you meet with the same dignity and respect you expect from them. If you see an officer, Ensign, First Lieutenant, Major, Commander or Colonel, you salute them and hold your salute until it is returned. Basic military courtesy will go a long way during the next few months as we bring Joint Base Charleston to life. Take Care, CDR Gary Martin

Navy names first female strike group commander Child care fees change to maintain quality services From USS George H.W. Bush Public Affairs
RADM Nora Tyson has assumed command of CSG 2.
Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 2 held a change of command ceremony aboard the strike group’s flagship, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) July 29. Rear Adm. Nora W. Tyson assumed command of Carrier CSG 2. Commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet, Vice Adm. Melvin G. “Mel” Williams Jr., presided over the ceremony, which included Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm.
Gary Roughead as the guest speaker.” “I am honored and humbled to have been selected to this position; and I promise you, I will give everything I have to the mission and the Sailors and families of Carrier Strike Group 2,” Tyson said. Tyson, a native of Memphis, Tenn., joined the Navy in 1979 after graduating from Vanderbilt University and completing Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I., that same year. As a naval flight officer, Tyson’s Navy career included three tours in Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 4 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., and Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. She also served as the commanding officer of the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5). Under her command,

Bataan deployed twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and led the Navy’s relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Tyson spoke of how proud she is to take on the latest and most challenging role of her career, leading a strike group consisting of the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, the ships of Destroyer Group 22, and the squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 8. As CSG 2’s 69th commander, Tyson talked about the critical role of the Carrier Strike Group in the nation’s warfighting arsenal. “As we all know, these are challenging times to wear our uniform and serve our nation,” Tyson said. “Demand for our naval forces will only grow, putting increasing pressure on the finite resources available to us.”
The Defense Department is adjusting its child care fees, adding categories for its highest income earners to compensate for six years without fee range increases, Pentagon officials announced today. The department’s Military and Community Family Policy Office has added three categories to the top of its fee schedule to go into effect by September 30, Barbara Thompson, director, office of family policy, children and youth, said during an interview with American Forces Press Service and The Pentagon Channel. Each service will issue specific fee guidelines, including exceptions to the fee schedule, and adopt fees within the policy office’s ranges, she said. The adjustment brings the number of fee categories to nine, causing some people to move into different categories, Thompson said. In the previous fee schedule, which has been in effect since 2004, everyone with a total family income of $70,001 or more was in Category VI – the top level – and paid an average of $124 per child per week, she said. Under the new schedule, families with a total family income between $73,501 and $85,000 will be in Category VI and will pay between $122 and $130 per child per week, still under $3 per hour for a 50-hour week, Thompson said. Here is the fee schedule:
- Category I – incomes of $29,400 or below – will pay between $44-$59 per week; - Category II – incomes from $29,401 to $35,700 – will pay between $60-$74 per week; - Category III – incomes from $35,701 to $46,200 – will pay between $75-$90 per week; - Category IV – incomes from $46,201 to $57,750 – will pay between $91-$105 per week; - Category V – incomes from $57,751 to $73,500 – will pay between $106-$121 per week; - Category VI – incomes from $73,501 to $85,000 – will pay between $122-$130 per week; - Category VII – incomes from $85,001 to $100,000 – will pay between $131-$133 per week; - Category VIII – incomes from $100,001 to $125,000 – will pay between $134-$136 per week; - Category IX – incomes of $125,001 or above – will pay between $137-$139 per week. “We understand that these are tough economic times for families, but we did this very deliberately after careful study,” she said. “When you look at what you’re getting for your child care fees, it’s a wonderful opportunity in a high-quality care environment.”

Bupers transitions to new message system The Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) and Navy Personnel Command (NPC) announced they will transition to a new message system beginning in August. According to NAVADMIN 249/10, all unclassified message traffic from BUPERS and NPC, including permanent change of station orders, will be sent via command e-mail. This change is a result of the Navy ending support for the Defense Messaging System (DMS). To create as transparent a change as possible, BUPERS is fielding a new system called Government Official Information Exchange System (GOES). The GOES system will act as a router for all BUPERS official information destined for command email or other web based applications. All commands that have set up delivery paths within GOES will receive official information from BUPERS via command email. GOES also supports Sailors stationed in nonNavy billets such as those in Individual Augmentee assignments.

The Navy announced the implementation of its new Electronic Leave (E-Leave) system in a message July 27. According to NAVADMIN 252/10 all shore commands will use E-Leave to request, track and manage leave once their Command Leave Administrator (CLA) completes initial setup within the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) application. The Navy requires all PSDs, CSDs and shore commands to be fully using E-Leave by Oct. 31. Sailors, reviewers and approvers can access E-Leave through NSIPS at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil. CLAs will have the capability to manage E-Leave transactions to include correction and cancellation. E-Leave will automatically check-out Sailors on leave 24 hours after initial start date and will automatically check-in Sailors 72 hours after the return date. CLA or ESR self-service users will also have the ability to request an extension. Sailors who have not yet established their web ESR SelfService access can do so at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil.

NNPTC commanding officer honors Patriots Point volunteers By Lieutenant Junior Grade Cassandra Mitchell and Ensign Jasmine Donovan, NNPTC

CAPT Thomas Baily, NNPTC commanding officer, presents Letters of Commendation to USS Yorktown volunteers for their efforts in supporting young Sailors assigned to NNPTC. On July 16th, Captain Thomas W. Bailey, Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC) Commanding Officer, expressed his appreciation to nine volunteer tour guides from Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in
Charleston, SC for their tireless efforts in training almost 900 NNPTC Sailors a year. Every Monday, NNPTC sends between 18 and 40 enlisted students to Patriots Point to visit USS Yorktown and related museums. The nine volunteer tour guides rec-
ognized by NNPTC spend numerous afternoons sharing their knowledge of U.S. history and their personal experiences aboard naval vessels. The volunteers, who altogether have been giving tours at Patriots Point for 43 years, are a mix of retired military and civilians with a desire to share their love of naval history. The volunteers; Marvin Veronee, Sid Busch, Arnie Stein, David Schuler, Burrel Boatwright, Gerald Lepley, Janet Lepley, Marvin Miller, and Mr. Jerry Stout, were recognized with Letters of Commendation for their efforts in supporting NNPTC’s mission of producing safe and trusted nuclear operators ready for follow-on training and, ultimately, service in the fleet. Currently, about a third of the enlisted students who go through the Nuclear Propulsion Training

Program get the chance to visit USS Yorktown. Many of these students, upon arriving at NNPTC, have never set foot on a naval ship. As Captain Bailey pointed out during the ceremony, the decommissioned vessels at Patriots Point allow the students an opportunity to see what [the] engineering space, berthing, flight deck and hanger bay look like giving young Sailors something tangible to focus on while in a classroom environment. Aside from allowing NNPTC students a close look at a naval vessel similar to one on which they will soon live and work, the tour guides share a sense of being part of something greater than themselves. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum helps show how these students are part of the legacy inherited by all US Navy members.

Renter's insurance important for base residents By Wm. Cullen James, Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and wild fires have all recently impacted the lives of Sailors and their families. Navy leaders are reminding Sailors about the importance of being prepared by having renter's insurance. "We have learned a number of very valuable lessons from both Hurricane Katrina and our flood here in Millington," said Rear Adm. Don Quinn, commander, Navy Personnel Command. "One important lesson is that our Navy families own more things than either the government or our PPV Housing partners are prepared to replace. Renter's insurance is cheap and great for peace of mind. I strongly encourage all Navy families who are renting or in base housing to invest in this very important safety net." Sailors renting homes off-base generally purchase the amount of coverage they require to cover the potential loss of personal effects. Some residents of base housing mistakenly believe that they are provided full insurance coverage from the government. That is not the case. Residents of public/private venture housing are generally provided limited insurance coverage under the terms of the rental agreement. "Residents should check their leasing agreement to determine the extent of that coverage because it is location dependent," said Virginia Eilmus, head, Personnel Claims Unit Norfolk. "In addition, residents of base housing may be entitled to compensation for damage or loss under the Military Personnel and Civilian Employees Claims Act (Personnel Claims Act). The Personnel Claims Act (PCA) allows for limited compensation for active duty service members and DoD civilian employees

Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Brien Aho, assigned to Navy Public Affairs Support East, captures the aftermath of the flooding that hit Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington, Tenn. The base was closed to residents and non-mission essential personnel after two days of rain dumped more than 14 inches in the area May 1 and 2, causing severe flooding on parts of the base. whose personal property is lost, damaged or destroyed because of their military service. Members who desire to submit a claim are required to first file a claim with their insurance carrier." The maximum value of a claim filed under the PCA is limited to $40,000 and service members who file claims will only receive a depreciated value on their lost or damaged property.
"Renter's insurance is important, it is the best way to protect your personal property," said Navy Personnel Command Force Master Chief (AW/SW/NAC) Jon Port. "And when you're busy dealing with all the various issues that happen during and after a disaster, having one less thing to worry about is a blessing." Just like other insurance policies, there are limits to what renter's insurance will cover, what kind of deductibles may be required and policy costs. For advice about renter's insurance, Port suggests Sailors visit www.cnrc.navy.mil/insurance.htm. Some basic tips from the site include: • Take an inventory: Before purchasing insurance itemize your belongings with price estimates, serial numbers, receipts (if possible) and purchase dates. • Make an informed decision: Ask your insurance company about theft limits, cash or replacement value, deductible options and discounts. • Shop around: Call a variety of insurance agents, and keep track of the coverage and costs. • Read the policy: It's a contract; ensure you understand the obligations spelled out. For more information regarding government housing, visit your local housing office.

Legal guidelines for scratching the political itch When it comes to the democratic process, everyone is encouraged to register to vote, study the issues and candidates, and ultimately vote as part of their civic obligations. Beyond these basic actions, as primary and general elections approach, military members and Department of Defense civilian employees may start feeling the itch become more active in the political process. When feeling that urge, it's important to understand the rules governing federal employee participation in political activities. What is a political activity? A political activity is an activity directed toward the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office, or a partisan political group. There are two partisan political activities: partisan and nonpartisan. Partisan activities relate to candidates or issues of national or state political parties. Candidacy for national or state office is considered partisan, even if the candidate is not affiliated with a national or state political party. Partisan activities are more restricted than nonpartisan

By Jordan Arim, Fitness Intern
People often ask me if I enjoy working out. I’ve never really stopped to consider this until I started thinking about what I wanted to write about in this article. Does anybody truly enjoy the monotony of picking up heavy metal objects and putting them back down, only to pick them back up again? Or how about running on a strip of rubber where after running countless miles, you are still in the exact same spot? Lack of motivation is the cause Photo courtesy of MWR of many of our struggles to get and Jordan Arim, a rising senior at the University stay fit. Sometimes exercise not of South Carolina, is majoring in Sports and only isn’t fun, but is a tedious, Entertainment Management and has been sweaty task that no one likes to do. working as an intern for MWR this summer. The good new is that there are many ways to make fitness fun. How you exercise isn’t nearly as important as finding the motivation to do it and keep at it until you see results. Growing up as a three-sport athlete in high school, I never had to worry about having fun when I worked out, because games and practices were fun! Motivation is different for everybody. Some are able to motivate themselves from within, while others need to be pushed. Some of us need an incentive, and others simply will not allow themselves to be motivated. For those of you reading this that are able to wake up before the sun rises, crank out five miles and lift weights, I applaud you. These individuals possess an enormous amount of self-discipline that the rest of us admire. The majority of us need a little boost get going. That’s why I do my best to come up with new and exciting workouts for myself, and I encourage you to do the same. Here are some tips for making fitness fun: Break the habit - Instead of routinely using the same cardio equipment at the fitness center such as the treadmill, stationary bike and step machine, give yourself other options. Why not jump rope or try roller blades? Experience the great outdoors - Charleston is a very diverse playground. Look around for parks, walking trails and bike paths. Visit nearby scenic landmarks, rivers or the beach for a great day hike. Train for a race - Why not train for an athletic event? This is a great way to add adrenaline, excitement and anticipation into your fitness workouts. Beat the heat - Stay cool and get a great workout by visiting the pool to take a water aerobics class, swim laps or join a swim team. Workouts that interest and excite you provide needed exercise while having fun. The more fun the work out is, the more likely you will stick with it and go a little longer and harder. So whether your idea of a fun workout is playing a sport for fun or competition, participating in group exercise classes, or any number of other options, I know that there is something out there for everybody. So, find something you like to do and get moving!

According to the Department of Defense on Suicide Prevention and Risk Reduction, suicide is ranked as the 11th leading cause of death nationwide. For the past 10 years, it has also been the second or third leading cause of death among active duty Sailors. The Navy’s suicide prevention campaign is aimed at first responders - anyone who notices the warning signs of suicide and takes preventive action. In supporting the Navy’s “All Hands” position on suicide prevention, the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) NWS Charleston is taking a proactive approach and is offering Suicide Prevention briefs to all NWS Commands. Please call Becky Bowers, Life Skills Educator, at 843-764-7443 for more information on how to have a GMT at your command.
For reservations or more information, please contact Fleet and Family Support Center at 843-764-7480 or email Becky Bowers at rebecca.bowers.ctr@navy.mil by August 23, 2010. Tickets are available at Fleet and Family Support Center, bldg. 755. Please join us in giving these volunteers the “round of applause” they deserve!
Sexual assault prevention and response victim advocate training Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assault (Bureau of Justice Statistics). The Fleet and Family Support Center is committed to the safety and well-being of Navy personnel and their families. Through its Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program (formally SAVI), the FFSC provides victim advocacy training. According to the official website of the United States Navy (www.navy.mil) approximately 35 new Navy sexual assault investigations are initiated by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) every month. In FY2009, 62 percent of all Navy reported sexual assaults were service member on service member. Victim advocates are trained to be “crisis respondents” and coordinate with local and civilian organizations to make sure that sexual assault victims receive appropriate medical, legal and emotional care. SAPR Victim Advocate Training August 16 - 20, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., bldg. 786 Contact Tiffany Minaudo, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) at 843-764-7428.

Sending students back to school safely
Summer is not officially over yet, but for many students, school will begin soon. As parents and students are getting ready for the start of a new school year and with all the excitement this brings, safety may not be the first thing that springs to mind. Whether they walk, ride their bike or travel by car or bus, here are a few tips to ensure our students get to and from school safely: ·Line up facing the bus, not alongside it. ·Do not play in the street while waiting for the bus. ·Never talk to strangers while on the way to school or at any other time. ·Never go with a stranger or enter their home ·Never accept anything from a stranger. ·Instruct children to walk with an adult or a group of children, if possible. ·Everyone in the car should wear a seatbelt. ·Children of working parents are sometimes left alone at home for brief periods in the afternoons. Teach them that they should never open the door to strangers. ·If a child, alone at home, should answer the phone while you are out, teach them to refrain from telling the caller that they are alone. ·Teach children to be aware of their surroundings and to take the safe way to school - never a shortcut. ·Remind children to walk their bicy cles as they cross the streets and to use bicycle paths where possible. Backpacks are great for carrying books and other school items; however, they are harmful if not used correctly causing possible shoulder or neck injuries, back pain and muscle strains.

Bachelor Housing note
Resident Advisor meetings are held quarterly and all residents are welcome and encouraged to attend. Our next scheduled Resident Advisors meeting is August 19 at 3:00 p.m. in the Bachelor Housing lounge. Your ideas and cooperation will enable us to improve services provided to you. A suggestion box is also located at the front desk in Bachelor Housing, or you may e-mail the Director at robert.ladue@navy.mil. Bachelor Housing residents are assigned a numbered carport correlating to their assigned unit. Since there is only one carport for every two occupants, parking under these carports is first come, first serve. Personnel owning two or more vehicles, shall park only one vehicle; the one that is driven on a daily basis under the carport. All residents must have their vehicle registration and base decal current at all times. There are additional parking spaces available adjacent to units in designated areas. Do not park on the grass; all offenders will have their vehicle ticketed. Multiple offenses could lead to vehicle being towed at resident’s expense. Parking in Bachelor Housing employees’ parking spaces is authorized after the 4:00 p.m. but should be moved prior to 7:00 a.m. Energy conservation
Energy conservation is very important. During recent exterior inspections, the BH staff noted some windows that were left open while the A/C was running. All residents are reminded again that energy conservation is an all hands effort. Please do your part. Your cooperation is necessary to reduce energy usage and subsequent cost. You can help by: a. Turning off all electrical items (i.e., lights, radios, TV’s, stereos, irons, etc.) when not in use or prior to leaving the quarters.
b. Keeping doors and windows closed in air conditioned spaces. If there are circumstances preventing proper closure, report findings immediately to BH front desk. c. Setting thermostats to 78 degrees for cooling and 68 degrees for heating and not changing the settings. Units are equipped with program mable thermostats. Tampering with thermostat program is not author ized. d. Immediately reporting water leaks to the Building Manager or front desk. e. Reporting any energy conservation violation as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Bachelor Housing Director Robert Ladue or Bachelor Housing Manager SHC (SW/AW) Anderson, or SH1 Jones at 764-7646.

We have some great events planned for the month of August! In order to participate in all the fun please register for the events by calling 843-797-5631 and ask for Beth Tracey. Play Bunko on August 11 from 4:00 6:00 p.m. Bunko is an interactive dice game that has become popular once again. The game is easy. If you can roll three dice and count to 21 you got what it takes. It is a great way to get to know your neighbors. The game requires you to switch partners every round, so you end up playing with everyone. If you are shy, you will not be by the end of the game! We will also provide snacks and prizes, so do not hesitate to join the fun at the community center on Fletcher Street. Can you believe summer is almost over! With summer coming to an end the children are heading back to school. Come join us at the pool for one last blast before school starts. We will be grilling up some hot dogs and burgers.

Just a friendly reminder, the annual CEL housing survey has been delivered to your homes. Be sure you take a moment to fill it out and send it in the mail. This will let us know how we are doing and what we can improve upon. After you complete and mail the Survey, please bring your drawing registration card to the housing office.
