BEHAVIOR HEALTH ARTICLE
THE FIRST IN JAPAN! by Kirsten Diller, Substance Abuse Clinical Program Manager
That’s right! The Substance Abuse Counseling Center (SACC) here in Iwakuni is the very first substance abuse clinic in Japan to be nationally accredited! In July of this year, following nearly a year of preparation, the SACC program was evaluated by CARF: The Commission on Accreditation and Rehabilitation Facilities. SACC passed the review with flying colors and received a three year accreditation, the highest level available.
The folks at SACC do not want to be labeled as “the alcohol police”. They want the community aboard MCAS Iwakuni to be healthy and to make low-risk choices so alcohol related incidents, non-judicial punishments (NJP), relationship issues, financial hardships, and other life challenges are less likely to occur. They are willing to work with each and every person to develop a personalized treatment plan and encourage everyone to continue making healthy choices.
CARF regularly surveys sites all across the globe to ensure clinical care meets the highest standards and services are efficient and effective. Their stamp of approval on SACC Iwakuni acknowledges that their client care is outstanding and that they are making a positive, measurable impact via treatment and prevention outreach. Having this accreditation tightens the level of organization and efficiency at SACC which allows them to serve their clients and the base at large through prevention programs more effectively.
SO WHAT ARE THESE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE?
SO WHO ARE THESE SACC PEOPLE? There’s Heather Payne, the Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist and Drug Demand Reduction Coordinator; Jeff Rowland, a Substance Abuse Counselor; Kirsten Diller, the Substance Abuse Clinical Program Manager; and Mioko Kikuchi, the Admin Extraordinaire. Yay for them, but what does this mean for MCAS Iwakuni? SACC serves the community in a unique manner and it is their mission to encourage self-referrals to their clinic for treatment. Too often, clients present at SACC following an alcohol related incident (ARI) so their treatment is reactive in nature. A self-referral indicates that a client has perceived the problem proactively and by seeking help may prevent an ARI and any legal consequences that could follow.
Heather, the prevention specialist, prepares and delivers unit briefs regarding low risk drinking choices and facilitates the early intervention class, “PRIME for Life.” She plans and executes Red Ribbon Week and works in collaboration with other programs on base to increase awareness of alcohol and drug abuse. Jeff and Kirsten, the counselors, work closely with clients on an individual and group level to target more pervasive, higher risk thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they relate to the unhealthy use of alcohol and other drugs. They also work with family members of those struggling with addiction issues to ensure the family’s needs are also addressed and they are aware of how an addict’s behavior can impact an entire family unit. INTERESTING. WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED AND ARE THERE ANY OTHER ON-BASE SERVICES TO WHICH THEY REFER? They are located on the second floor of Building 411 in the Behavioral Health suite. Their hours are 0730-1630 on weekdays (closed on holidays). There is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that gathers regularly on Tuesday and Fridays evenings at 1800 on the second floor of Yujo Hall. Feel free to call 253-5260 or stop by the office with any questions! The staff is more than happy to provide on the spot consultations for anyone seeking more information.

Happy New Year! Everyone breathe a sigh of relief
the holidays are over and it is now time to plan out a brand new year. If you hadn’t noticed, there has been an “Angry Elf” among us. He has made appearances at various events and is quite honestly, a big ol’ Grinch.
Lucky for him, MCCS is here to help. We sat down with The Iwakuni Elf and helped him devise a plan to turn his frown upside down. He will be taking advantage of all the great services MCCS has to offer for the coming year. Follow along with his plan; you’ll be happy you did! Don't forget to LIKE "The Iwakuni Elf" on Facebook.

PREVIEW MAGAZINE
30 60 90 TO A LIFESTYLE CHANGE •
DAY CHALLENGE
•
by Priscilla Wagoner,MCCS Employee Development Manager As adults we can do just about whatever we want and we have a plethora of options to choose from, yet at some point we stop making choices and begin forming habits for better or worse. We can stay up until midnight every day watching Breaking Bad or Mad Men, eat ice-cream for breakfast, heck we can even buy things we can’t afford on our handy, dandy credit cards. Our brain eventually goes into autopilot as we continually engage in behaviors that do not benefit us over time. Many of us may not even be aware why we do the things we do after we have been doing them for so long. In the back of our minds every one of us knows we have our vices, those guilty pleasure habits that we just can’t seem to shake that get in the way of working towards our big goals that we want to accomplish. IT TAKES 30 DAYS TO FORM A DISCIPLINE, 60 DAYS TO DEVELOP A HABIT AND 90 DAYS TO CREATE A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. It might seem overwhelming to think about all the things you want to change at once. You will be more likely to succeed by keeping it simple and choosing one discipline you want to develop. There are triggers that you must avoid that will cause you to fall into old routines. For every trigger that leads to your old routine, develop a replacement discipline.
THE
TRIGGER
(GET IT)
SEE IT
THE
REWARD
DO IT
THE
ROUTINE
The first 30 days of self-discipline is crucial. Once you’re committed, write down your plan and get it on the calendar! Starting immediately may be tempting, but jumping the gun before you’re ready makes it easy to get quickly discouraged. Make your start date a big event, something you can look forward to and plan ahead of time. When you write down your 30, 60, 90 day action plan think about the obstacles you will encounter along the way and what you will do to overcome them.
FORMING A DISCIPLINE, FIRST 30 DAYS: • Know how you spend your time • Keep a log to find out how you spend
your time • Identify Prime Time: Are you an early riser or a night owl? • Do important or difficult tasks during your peak hours • Create a support network you can ask for help • Say positive affirmations to yourself (I am capable of achieving my goal! It’s my life, it’s now or never!)
CREATING A LIFESTYLE CHANGE, THE HOME STRETCH 60-90 DAYS:
DEVELOPING A HABIT, ROUND TWO 30-60 DAYS: • Fall down 7 times get up 8 • Expect to encounter obstacles,
(Slow n’ Steady Wins the Race. Consistency is Key!) • Refuse excuses that interfere with your routine habits • Eliminate people from your life who sabotage your efforts • Keep track of your progress; remember how far you’ve come! • Continue challenging yourself regularly, stay proactive • Set new goals for yourself, try to beat your own records
brainstorm solutions • If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! • Re-visit your commitment to stay motivated • Keep yourself accountable, tell others of your plans • Share status updates with your network for encouragement
REWARD YOURSELF FOR ACHIEVING GOALS • Rewards are positive reinforcement that keep you motivated to perform consistently • Schedule leisure time – when recreation is planned you’re less likely to overindulge • Rewarding yourself boosts confidence and self-esteem • Set new goals for yourself, try to beat your own records • Take time to play every day – regular renewal is essential for being at your best If you’re an MCCS employee, Employee Development has training classes throughout the year that focus on addressing change and developing effective habits. The Change Element is a training that focuses on how to deal with change happening around you and also how to approach personal or intrinsic change. The behavior loop shown above illustrates how habitual behavior occurs, but it also shows you how to create a new habit using the same principles. Other trainings we offer employees on self-improvement are our 7 Habits for Associates and 7 Habits for Managers based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. If you are part of our MCAS community at large we can refer you to other great MCCS activities such as our LifeSkills trainer at Marine Corps Family Team Building, Personal Trainers at the IronWorks gym or a multitude of other resources that MCCS Iwakuni offers to everyone in the community not just MCCS employees.
30 60 90 DAYS TO MY RUNNING HABIT •
Richard Roth
•
Your current level of physical readiness is much different than mine. This information is provided as a reference point and starting place.
TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR before starting any vigorous physical activity. Know and understand where your body is right now. HOW TO PREPARE FOR A 5K OR HALF MARATHON: Take a true, honest assessment of where you are right now. A great run to start with is the Jingle Bell Jog, 1.5K, just less than 1 mile. (You can also get a micro-fit assessment with one of our trainers at the IronWorks Gym) Register for an online account on a running site. Most will have built in training programs with suggestions on techniques and tools to log progress. I use RUNNERSWORLD.com, it's free! From the log in screen, I click on Race Training, then Click on SMART COACH and input the data from the JBJ or my last running event (PFT run time is also a good starting point). Then I enter the event I am
training for and hit enter to generate the smart coach generic training schedule. You can pay for a more detailed, specific schedule, but I find the generic one works just fine. Print the schedule; put it on whatever personal electronic device you have and stick to the workout schedule. Be sure to hydrate before the run and after. Warm up, conduct the training, and cool down. Stretching goes a long way to recovery, so does chocolate milk. GOOD HABITS: • Sign up for a race event. • Get a running partner and schedule running times and dates. • Hold each other accountable for the training. • Put the training times and date of the race on your wall calendar and set alarms on your PED. • Post photos of runners on your fridge and mirrors. Put them where you will see them every day. • Keep notes concerning your training – what you ate, when you ate, the weather conditions and what you wore, your general attitude, times and miles, heart rate, pace…etc. OBSTACLES: • Weather - get used to it! You will have weather everyday so prepare for it. Every day is a good day to run you just have to adjust for the weather. • Your mind is going say no - that’s why you have a running partner who is counting on you to be there for training.
• Can’t find “me” time - there will always be “more important” stuff to do. Enter the running partner… • Trained too hard, went too far the first work out - start slow and build the proper foundation. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Pun intended. • Workout pain - reduced by proper stretching, proper form, spray and rubs. • Common running injuries can be lowered with proper stretching, training, shoes and other equipment.
CHANGING OLD HABITS: Junk / processed foods, fast food, alcohol, empty TV / computer time are all habits hard to break. A running partner of mine went cold turkey on all of the above; he is currently an elite runner. I, on the other hand, am stuck in a vicious “eat junk food, feel guilty must workout, just worked out, reward myself with junk food, feel guilty must workout” cycle. BENCHMARKS HELP KEEP ME ON TRACK: Hit the training schedules suggested times and distances. Continually reassess and update your training schedule. Look at your peers and compare your results with theirs – this can be dangerous and cause you to push harder and faster than your body is ready for – it is just a guide. RUN YOUR OWN RACE! Challenge yourself to beat your last finishing time.

MCFTB ARTICLE
MEDEVAC: NAVIGATING THROUGH THE MEDICAL EVACUATION PROCESS by Alexandra Patrocino, LifeSkills Trainer
Being in a foreign country requires you to have a basic sense of self-responsibility. We should all have some knowledge of what to do when there is a typhoon, a NEO, or in the case of this article, a MEDEVAC. Many people think that the only people who would be medically evacuated are those women who are pregnant. However, only 19% of MEDEVACs are for OB/GYN appointments. The largest medical specialties requiring a MEDEVAC are orthopedic cases! Only a certain amount of people on base can become pregnant, but all of us can get an orthopedic injury.
STEP ONE:
See your Primary Care Medical Provider who will recommend or order a MEDEVAC for your situation.
STEP TWO:
Go to the MEDEVAC office and provide contact information and dates of availability. If a Non-Medical Attendant (NMA) is needed or desired, this is the time to request one.
We all know that our base is small and that we have a “clinic”, not a hospital on base. The medical staff does their utmost best to provide medical support to active duty, family members and civilians here on base; however, there are medical situations (psychological, neurological, general surgery, cardiovascular, dental, etc.) which may require some individuals to move to another treatment facility outside of Iwakuni. In fact, the Medevac Office processes about 55 Medevacs monthly. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may be transported to the following locations: Naval Hospital Yokosuka, Naval Hospital
Okinawa, Navy Medical Center San Diego, Tripler Army Medical Center (in Hawaii), Fukuoka Urosoe Sleep Study Center or somewhere CONUS. How are you going to get there? Don’t worry, you won’t have to hitch hike. There are several ways you can be MEDEVACed for medical care outside Branch Health Clinic Iwakuni. You can either go by MILAR (Military Aircraft), Rail (Shinkansen), Commercial Air, or referred to local facilities. Before you get on either one of these transportation methods, you first need to follow through the MEDEVAC process listed below.
Be sure you pack copies of medical records, your military ID, official passport if traveling overseas, TAD orders to travel for you and your attendant, extra medication and supplies in case of MEDEVAC extension, and yen or dollars for reimbursable or incidental expenses. While you are in transit, remember to save all your meal receipts. If you use a taxi or other transportation, save those receipts as well. For more information on the MEDEVAC process, please feel free to contact the Branch Health Clinic Iwakuni MEDEVAC office at 253-5825/6835 or attend the Marine Corps Family Team Building quarterly MEDEVAC Brief(see details below).
STEP THREE:
The MEDEVAC staff will coordinate an appointment date with the receiving hospital or treatment facility. You are responsible for being in contact to find out when the appointment date is set. MEDEVAC sends information to the sponsor’s S-1 for orders.
STEP FOUR:
The sponsor’s command will provide you (the patient) with orders at least three days before the scheduled appointment.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
MEDEVAC Brought to you by MARINE CORPS FAMILY TEAM BUILDING §253-3754 to sign up.
After receiving orders and having travel funding approved, you and your NMA will receive a MEDEVAC brief from the MEDEVAC clerk.
Join experts from BHC as you check up on your MEDEVAC knowledge!
STEP SIX:
Know about it before you need it by signing up today!
STEP FIVE:
You will receive tickets from DMO via the MEDEVAC office. If you are a civilian, you will be provided a notification letter of your MEDEVAC. You are responsible to turn your letter into CHRO if the employer funded the MEDEVAC.

Lakeyia Brown
our very own Preview intern
Hello, my name is Lakeyia Brown, I am a senior Career Practicum student and an intern with the MCCS Marketing and Communication Team! Who is Lakeyia? I was born in Germany and I moved raised in Japan. I have lived between Yokosuka Naval Base, Yokota Air Force Base literally my whole life until now; Iwakuni is my new home. Living on the big bases was nice, especially living near the city, but Iwakuni is a family-oriented community that leaves no one behind, I enjoy it. With that being said, I appreciate living here and meeting the incredible people that live on this base. Not only are the people and the atmosphere incredible, but the facilities and resources on this base are plentiful, which is very useful. I will be writing about events that will appeal to teens. It is important that my generation stay involved in the community and utilize as many resources as we can on this base, I look forward to bringing you a new perspective to what MCCS offers, lending my voice to the teens on the base and introducing new ways for my generation to get involved.
