Happy 223rd Birthday U.S. Coast Guard Why I serve—A firsthand account of a Coast Guard recruit BY COAST GUARD SEAMAN RECRUIT NATALLIA LOPEZ CAPE MAY, NJ (U.S. Coast Guard Social Media) - When people think about the United States Coast Guard, they envision a rescue saving, action packed military branch that protects our waters, our coastal resources and the people of the United States. However, despite all of this being true, it does not fit the picture entirely. The Coast Guard’s multi-missions and dedication to the safety and security of the American people play a significant role in the defense of our nation. However, to me, it’s the Coast Guard’s dedication to its service members and their families that portray the biggest impact on our country. The Coast Guard saved my mother’s life; it was not through any special operation nor was it through a search and rescue mission. Instead, the Coast Guard saved my mother by

providing care and assistance when she was battling breast cancer. The service’s commitment is something I will be eternally thankful for. I always knew the Coast Guard took care of their members because I am a daughter of a Coast Guardsman, but it was not until my mom was diagnosed with cancer that I fully comprehended how truly devoted the Coast Guard is to their members but not only that, how they take all measures possible to ensure the well-being of Coast Guard family members as well. When my mother was diagnosed with cancer, it was a very difficult time for my family. Just like any other person who is diagnosed with this disease, it’s a time where the person and the family are going through a mix of emotions and are unsure of the outcome of the situation. Cancer is a very costly illness; and

It’s fun, relaxing and – word has gotten out! “People on base have really been gravi-

This is our way of thinking outside-the-box. The weather has been great, too!” On Thursdays, from 12 p.m. to 12:45 p.m., anyone with base access can enjoy their lunch while cruising along the river.

Korean War vets brought freedom, victory to 50 million people BY JIM GARAMONE AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE
WASHINGTON - While the Korean War ended just about where it started, “that war was no tie,” President Barack Obama said recently. “Korea was a victory.” The president spoke at the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the armistice ending the Korean War. He said the 60-year remove from the war makes it clear that the war, which claimed more than 36,000 American lives, was a victory for freedom. “When 50 million South Koreans live in freedom, in a vibrant democracy, one of the world’s most dynamic economies, in stark contrast to the repression and poverty of the North, that is a victory and that is your legacy,” Obama told the Korean War vets who sat among the audience of 5,000. And U.S. service members continue the mission – because the armistice didn’t end the Korean War, it just stopped the shooting. More than 28,000 Americans are on the peninsula today to guarantee that if the North again tries to step over the 38th Parallel, the world will stand against them. “For generations to come, when history recalls how free nations banded together in a long Cold War and how we won that war, let it be said that Korea was the first battle, where freedom held its ground and free peoples refused to yield,” the president said. The president spoke of the legacy of the Korean War and of its veterans. “Korea taught us the perils when we fail to prepare,” he said. He noted that the troops sent to fight in Korea in the early days were under-equipped and under-trained.
sion to give them the respect and the care and the opportunities that they have earned,” he said. The president urged all Americans to simply listen to Korean War veterans – most now in their 80s. “Listen and hear how these Americans faced down their fears and did their duty, clutching their rifles, hearing the bugles in the distance, knowing that waves of enemy fighters would soon be upon them; in ships offshore, climbing down the ropes into the landing craft, knowing some of them would not leave that beach; on the tarmacs and flight decks, taking off in Corsairs and Sabres, knowing that they might not return,” he said. Americans need to listen to the tales of gallantry amid some of the most brutal combat in modern times, the president said. Americans need to know how their fellow citizens “held the line at the Pusan perimeter, how they landed at Incheon and turned the tide of the war, how surrounded and freezing they battled their way out of Chosin Reservoir, and how they DOD PHOTO BY GLENN FAWCETT fought foxhole by foxhole, mounTwo Korean War veterans pose with the U.S. wreath after President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary tain after mountain, day and night Chuck Hagel spoke at a ceremony marking the 60th anniversary of the armistice ending the Korean War at the at the Punchbowl and Heartbreak Ridge, Old Baldy and Pork Chop Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C., July 27.

The waist measurement portion of the fitness assessment is the second least reason for failure among Airmen.
Waist measurement failures non-factor for most Airmen BY STAFF SGT. DAVID SALANITRI SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Recent comments on social media sites show there’s a discussion among Airmen that the abdominal circumference component of the Fitness Assessment is where the largest majority of failures come from. This opinion is wrong. Since the Air Force has adopted the policy, which automatically fails Airmen with a larger than 39 inch waist (males) and 35.5 inch waist (females), the abdominal circumference measurement has led to the second least failures of the four components -- aerobic, push-ups, sit-ups, and abdominal circumference. The numbers speak for themselves. According to the Air Force Fitness, Promotion, and Evaluation Policy office: --Since the implementation of the new PT test in October 2010, 1,277,825 Airmen have been evaluated. --15,788 Airmen, who completed all four components, failed the waist measurement while also failing another component of the test.
--5,141 Airmen, who completed all four components, failed their waist measurement, while passing the other three components. Of those, 348 failed their waist measurement and passed the other three components with a composite score of 75. So, what does this all mean? Out of the 1,277,825 Airmen who failed the waist measurement, 0.4 percent failed only that component. Of those, 76 have been separated because of that failure, amounting to .006% of the 1,277,825 Airmen who have tested under the new Fitness Assessment. Bottom line, numbers show that, as a whole, failures are on the decline. In July 2010, the overall failure rate for the fitness assessment was 22.1 percent. As of June 2013, the failure has decreased to 4.9 percent. “We’ve seen a notable increase in passing scores,” said Col. Dawn Keasley, who works in the Air Force Military Force Management Division. “Airmen are clearly embracing a culture of fitness and that is a great thing for our Airmen, the Air Force, and the nation we protect and defend.”

WASHINGTON - Retired Senior Master Sgt. John Neves, a familiar face of Air Force retiree activities in the National Capital Region (NCR) for more than 20 years, died July 21 at his home in Springfield, Va. He was 81. Neves retired from active duty in 1976 with 26 years of service. Assignments included tours in Vietnam, Germany and Greenland. He once served as director of the Retiree Activities Office (RAO) at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), in addition to

ber at the annual 11th Wing Retiree Appreciation Day events. He was also the recipient of the Air Force Volunteer Excellence Award, authorized by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force for sustained volunteer service. “This year’s Retiree Day program will be dedicated to Senior Master Sgt. Neves,” said retired Air Force Col. John Moser, current director of the RAO on JBAB. “His passion and dedication is a lesson to us all.” This year’s Retiree Day event will take place at the Bolling Club, Saturday, October, 26. Among those attending will be Air Force Vice-Chief of Staff Gen. Larry Spencer, Moser said.

although we received Tricare, all the treatments my mother needed to receive created a financial burden on my family. Also, just about the same time my mother was diagnosed with cancer, my father received orders to a new unit. My mother had just started her treatments in Puerto Rico, and my father made the difficult decision to go alone to his new unit leaving us behind in order to keep providing for our family. His decision was really hard on all of my family, but because of his devotion to his service, we all understood this was something that had to do to serve his country. During this difficult time of separation, the Coast Guard aided my family in so many ways; they provided my mother with all her treatments and were also able to grant my father special orders, which allowed him to come back to his old unit so he could take care of us during those difficult times. If it was not for the Coast Guard and their help, there may have been a different outcome for my mother and our family. The Coast Guard saw how much my father was sacrificing for the honor to serve, so they ensured he got the support he and our family needed because it is a service of understanding and caring people. When I saw what the Coast Guard did for my family, I knew that I had to demonstrate my gratitude. It encouraged me

to become part of the United States Coast Guard. I want to serve and give the Coast Guard all my skills and knowledge by providing for them just as they provided for me. When I found out about the College Student Pre-Commissioning Program, I applied and have not even once regretted any of the choices I have made. It’s been a long, hard summer, but every single day I am grateful for being given the opportunity to train and serve in the United States Coast Guard; a service that I can truly say I also owe my life to.
