Joint Base Charleston leadershippledged a renewed stance against Airmendriving under the influence by signingand instituting a DUI Battle Plan that willtake effect April 1, 2013.

The DUI Battle Plan is modeled after aprogram implemented in 2010 at TravisAir Force Base, Calif., after the baserecorded the highest number of DUIs inAir Mobility Command.

After one year of implementation oftheir Battle Plan, the number of DUIsdecreased by 42 percent at Travis AFBand the numbers have held steady during the past two years.

"I had a hand in the creation and implementation at Travis," said Maj.

Daniel Michel, 628th Medical Group direc-tor of psychological health. "So, instead ofreinventing the wheel when I arrived here atJB Charleston, I proposed the DUI BattlePlan to leadership."

Once leadership gave approval to startformulating a DUI Battle Plan to specifi-cally address issues here, Michel andSenior Master Sgt. Michelle McMeekin,628th Force Support Squadron careerassistance advisor, went to work.McMeekin worked with commanders,chiefs and first sergeants on base to estab-lish a clear plan to move forward with.

"At this time last year, when we wereconstructing a DUI Battle Plan specific to

JB Charleston, the number of DUIs was already on the rise," saidMcMeekin. "We worked with both the 628th Air Base Wing leadership aswell as the 437th Airlift Wing leadership to make sure the plan to reducethese numbers was going to work for all Airmen on base."

On March 13, 2013, both Col. Richard McComb, Joint Base Charlestoncommander, and Col. Darren Hartford, 437th AW commander, signed the plan.

"Team Charleston now has a clear plan to reduce a public safety hazard using a combined team effort," said McComb. "Drunken driving

Forty years have passed since the UnitedStates ended its involvement in the VietnamWar, and forty years have passed since many ofits sons who engaged in the war and were cap-tured by the enemy, were liberated and returnedhome.

One of those liberated prisoners was (Ret.)Col. Will Gideon, former 437th Airlift WingSupply Squadron commander, who was a pilotwith the 67th Tactical Fighter Squadron the dayhe was shot down and captured by the NorthVietnamese on August 7, 1966.

Gideon, a native of Arlington, Va., flew 54successful missions into Vietnam before beingshot down.

“We came into the mountains low that day,”said Gideon, in regards to the aircraft formation.“After I released my bombs, I rolled the jet to itsside and popped back up. It started like any othermission … only, I had no idea it would be mylast (mission as a pilot.)”

From within the cockpit of his jet, Gideonwitnessed a fiery explosion in the atmosphereigniting from another F-105 directly in front ofhim. The aircraft’s pilot safely ejected, but wascaptured by the deceptive enemy below. In aflash, black smoke filled the red sky and cloakedGideon’s sight, blinding him nearly instantly.Bullets cut through the air, whizzing as theybuzzed all around. Gideon remained calm, butcould only hear the sound of his heart beatingand ground fire that was coming from North

Vietnamese soldiers, hidden within the foliageof the jungle below.

“I tried like hell to get out of there,” saidGideon. “This is when everything started hap-

pening really fast.”And, going fast was on Gideon’s side. He was

Commentary by 1st Lt. Zach Anderson931st Air Refueling Group Public Affairs

MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. –"This is a one big mess."

Those were my thoughts as I peered out the win-dow of my second floor apartment at a vast blanketof white covering the ground. The sidewalks, steps,and parking lot of the complex were buried undermore than 14 inches of snow, dumped on the areacourtesy of the second-largest snowstorm on recordfor Wichita.

Having relocated to the Midwest after more thantwo years in Southern California, I had beenspoiled by living in the mild weather of the "end-less summer." I now despised the bitter cold of theannual Kansas snowstorms. Since our move fromthe west coast, my wife and I had taken our coatsand other winter clothes out of storage, but we'dneglected to make one essential purchase: A snowshovel. I now dreaded wading out into the driftsarmed with nothing but a piece of cardboard toexcavate a path to our vehicles.

As the last few flurries fell from the sky, I hearda strange, scraping sound coming from below. Ilooked down and saw an individual bundled in coldweather gear attacking the sidewalks with a shovel,slowly making progress in carving a route throughthe snow. As I watched, he worked his way downthe sidewalk and began clearing the steps of theapartment buildings.

I was extremely impressed."Hey, check this out," I said to my wife. "It liter-

ally just stopped snowing and the maintenanceguys are already out clearing the sidewalks and thesteps!"

Due to the weather, I had been instructed not toreport to the base that day. I had ambitious plans tospend the morning on the couch in my pajamas,drinking coffee and watching reruns. My wife,however, had other plans for me. Her employer hadnot yet closed for the day, and she informed methat she fully intended to try to make it to workdespite the massive snowfall.

Being the supportive husband that I am, I duti-fully donned my coat and stepped outside to warm

up her car and see if I could possibly dig it out ofthe snow. I figured it was the least I could do con-sidering she was planning to go to work and I wasstaying home.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the "main-tenance guy" had not only cleared the sidewalksand steps, but also had made a pathway through thesnow to the parking lot, giving me easy access toher car without having to plod through the snowbanks.

"These maintenance guys are awesome," Ithought as I set about the task of chipping away atthe ice encasing the windshield.

As I worked, I noticed the "maintenance guy"was now in the parking lot and working to dig avehicle out of the snow, making his way to the barepavement one shovelful at a time.

I decided to thank him for clearing the sidewalksoff so quickly after the storm. I walked towardwhere he was working, and that's when I noticedhis boots.

Green suede leather. Air Force issue. The sametype of boots I was wearing to protect my feet fromthe snow.

"Are you in the Air Force?" I asked, a bit con-fused as I still thought this guy was a part of theapartment maintenance team.

"Yeah," he replied. "I'm a crew chief atMcConnell."

"So you don't work for the apartments?," Iasked, still not quite understanding why he wasshoveling snow.

"No," he said. "I just live here.""So why did you shovel the sidewalks and clear

the way to the parking lot?," I asked, genuinelycurious.

He smiled."Well, I had a snow shovel and I figured people

would need to get out to their cars, so I just thoughtI'd go ahead and take care of it," he said.

He then noticed that I had been trying to dig mywife's car out without a shovel.

"Hey," he said, "Do you want some help withgetting your car out of the snow?"

I was impressed, inspired and humbled all in thesame moment. In my Air Force career, I've heard

my share of inspirational Air Force stories andbeen schooled in Air Force heritage, history anddoctrine. I've listened as senior leaders lectured onthe meaning of our core values and what it meansto be an Airman. And yet here, right in front of me,holding a shovel and standing in a foot of snow,was a simple, yet poignant example of servicebefore self that resonated with me like many les-sons of the past never had.

Over the next couple of days, I managed to trackdown the snow shoveling Airman. As it turns out,Senior Airman Ryan McPartland is an Air Reservetechnician here, a member of the 931stMaintenance Squadron. When I had the opportuni-ty to speak to him again, I asked him why he hadtaken the initiative to do what he had done.

"When I saw all the snow blocking the pathwaysand parking lots, I thought about the older individ-uals who live in the apartments and some of thefamilies that have small children," he said. "I didn'twant anyone to slip and fall out there, and once Ihad cleared the sidewalks I just decided to goahead and start shoveling out near the cars and helpwhoever might need it out there. I was brought upto help others without wanting or expecting any-thing in return."

Helping others without wanting or expectinganything in return. If that isn't the definition ofservice before self, I don't know what is.

Airman McPartland's example, while not an actof valor on the battlefield or a tremendous, life-altering feat, definitely taught me an important les-son. And ultimately, it drove home what servicebefore self is really all about.

It's not about huge, force-wide undertakings ofvolunteerism. It's not about "being a good wing-man" or any other catch phrase. It's simply aboutbeing willing, each day, to take the time to put theneeds of others, the needs of the mission, ahead ofyour own. It's being willing to sacrifice for thegreater good of all.

It's being willing to spend hours in the cold,shoveling snow so others won't have to.

I learned a lot on that messy, snowy morning ...and I'll never look at a Kansas snowstorm quite thesame way.

A snowstorm, a shovel and a lesson

The Commander's Action Line is your direct link to me as the command-er of Joint Base Charleston. I would ask that you first give the appropriatebase agency a chance to solve the problem, but if you don't get a satisfac-tory answer, call me at 963-5581, or send an e-mail [email protected].

This forum is your opportunity to make Joint Base Charleston a betterplace to live, work and play. This is also your venue to tell me how ourAirmen, Sailors, Air Force and Navy Civilians and Contractors are sup-porting you as a customer.

To ensure you receive a response to your concerns, please leave yourname and the information needed to contact you.

Comment: I went to the Base Shred Day at the Air Base Theater March1, 2013 around 12:15 p.m., and I was informed I could not bring my box ofitems to be shredded, and that it was only for base personnel. I informedthe attendant in civilian clothes neither the base marquee nor the newspapersaid for base personnel only. The attendant said it was in the Base Bulletinand I said as a retiree I don't get the bulletin, but I do look at the marqueeand I read the paper. I was disappointed that I was turned away and I thinknext time it should be a little more direct as to who can get their stuffshredded and who can't. Thank you.

Response: Thank you for taking the time to express your concern. TheBase Shred Day was held for the purpose of shredding paper from govern-ment offices. The shredding company was placed under contract to providebase mission support and not community support. The statement "No

Personal Material" was annotated in the base bulletin as well as the flyersposted around JB Charleston. Unfortunately, that statement was not on themarquee. In the future, we'll ensure the marquee clearly shows that the BaseShred Day is for government paper only. We apologize for the confusion.

Comment: I went to the Weapons Station today to get my taxes done.The building had parking by permit on the right and parking for govern-ment vehicles only on the left. The parking in front of the building hadsigns reserved for everyone else. I had nowhere to park. My husband isdeceased and I'm 66 years old and I'm disabled. There were no handicapparking spaces and no parking spaces for civilians and retirees who want toget their taxes done.

Response: Thank you for sharing your concern. We try very hard toensure our retiree population of more than 14,000 is well cared for acrossboth the Air Base and the Weapons Station, and I'm very sorry you werepresented with such an inconvenience. In the past, building 206, where thetax center is located, has had a designated handicapped parking spot, but atsome point, the reserved spot was no longer needed and removed.However, given the building's current use it is clear that a handicapped spotis needed. A temporary sign is now in place, and our Wing Safety represen-tatives have placed a work order to permanently designate one of the spotsfor handicapped parking. Additionally, I will review our regulations andwhere possible, free up some of the reserved parking spaces for civilianuse. I appreciate your continuing involvement with the military communityand strive to provide convenient support to all members of TeamCharleston.

BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – "Hey,Mom, guess what!"

It was an innocent start to a recent conversationwith my son that served as a real wake-up call for me.

When my 10-year-old told me someone hadasked him if he wanted to get high, my first reac-tion was to begin interrogating him with a barrageof who, what, where, and how's. But he was look-ing at me to see my reaction, so I had to makemyself take a deep breath. I invited him to sit downnext to me on the couch and tell his the story.

That afternoon, he'd been outside playing in theneighborhood when two classmates approachedhim with chalk dust and hand sanitizer, suggestinghe could get high with the items.

He said it scared him; he wasn't expecting it.Frankly, neither was I. He's only 10. We live in asafe neighborhood, and my sons attend a goodschool just down the street. At that moment, I wasso thankful we'd already had "the talk" aboutdrugs and alcohol. And he had listened!

After hearing his story about the encounter, Isuggested we have a snack. I was buying myselftime to gather my thoughts and carefully formu-late the questions I had to ask so that I couldunderstand the whole situation. I asked him to tellme the story again, then I reassured him he haddone the right thing.

I called my 11-year-old son in and asked if hehad ever been approached. I learned he had been - afew days earlier, by the same children, in the schoolcafeteria. He too had turned down the invitation to

get high with hand sanitizer and chalk dust. I was thankful my sons were not accepting to

the invitation to get high, but I dreaded telling theparents of the children who had approached them.Still, I knew they needed to know. I would wantto know.

As a former Air Force Office of SpecialInvestigations agent, I had worked cases of drugand alcohol interdiction with families. As an AirForce reservist in the medical field, part of myduty involves educating military members andtheir families about the dangers of drugs. I neededto gather answers to the questions I was sure theother parents would ask.

I turned to the internet to do further research. Icouldn't find anything on chalk, but I learned thathand sanitizer contains alcohol. Consuming onebottle is the equivalent of drinking two shots ofvodka - enough to kill a child.

That was all I needed to know. I immediatelygot on social media and sent the information outto other parents in the neighborhood. Withoutrevealing specifics of my sons' experiences, Ialerted others to the potential that their childrenmay have been approached, and I provided detailsabout the dangerous content of the items, alongwith the symptoms of the abuse. I urged them totake the time to talk with their children about thisreal and present danger.

Within minutes of my posting, parents werecommenting and sending me private messages. Isent an email to the school's principal and askedto meet with her.

The following afternoon, I gathered mycourage and knocked on the doors of the families

whose children had been involved in both mysons' incidences. I didn't know how they wouldreact, but I knew they needed to hear what I hadto tell them. Their children's lives and the lives ofother children were at stake.

The parents were very surprised and saddenedat the news, but they were appreciative I'd cometo talk privately with them. Obviously, this isn'tsomething any parent wants to hear, but the soon-er the truth is revealed, the better - before some-thing tragic could happen.

The school principal was also responsive when Imet with her the next day; I could hear genuineconcern in her voice. She immediately took actionto meet with the involved families to provide guid-ance and resources to help them address the prob-lem. She took the opportunity to meet with classesto re-emphasize the school's anti-drug teachings,encouraging students not to give in to peer pressurewhen confronted with drugs and alcohol.

The school had a health fair scheduled, and theprincipal allowed my unit, the 940th AMDS, toset up a booth educating parents and studentsabout drug and alcohol abuse prevention. Wewere able to talk with several families at the fair.

I'm a real advocate for open communication,not only with my own children, but with otherparents and our schools. I'm the mom that volun-teers for everything at school - from tutoring mathand English to chaperoning field trips to volun-teering with the recycle program.

I also believe in getting involved with ourneighbors and communities. Building strong com-munity ties will help keep our children safe. Asthey say, it takes a village - especially these days.

fighter at the time, and it was able to reach supersonic speedsquickly. However, his distance to the ground was against him.

According to Gideon, he knew he was in trouble when he felta jarring explosion, as well as the ratatatat of bullets bouncingoff his jet. Before he could evade the enemy attack, the aircraftbegan shaking and spiraling downward uncontrollably.

“It was like someone grabbed the tail end of the plane andwouldn’t let go,” said Gideon. “The jet was spinning out ofcontrol. It was all happening so fast, but I remember startingto see everything go grey and feeling numb.”

Accepting his fate, Gideon knew his plane was destined tocrash into the Vietnamese mountainside. With every passingmoment, more control was slipping through his fingers.Knowing he was also about to pass out, Gideon was losingcontrol of more than his jet, but also himself.

“My life wasn’t flashing before my eyes,” said Gideon.“My training was. I knew what I had to do to survive … deathwasn’t an option that day.”

Through the disarray of being shot out of the sky, hethought back to his pilot training at Nellis AFB, Nev., andmanaged to eject. From there, everything went blank.

Gideon awoke in darkness, unclear of the amount of timethat had passed or where he was. He was nowhere near thecrash site. He was stripped of his clothes, in pain and lockedinside a small, humid jail cell. The only light piercing theeroded room was coming from a barred window.

“I was out for nearly a week,” said Gideon. “When I final-ly woke up, my left leg was in a cast below the knee. I can’trecall exactly when it was broken. My shoulder and head were

swollen and I could barely move.”Due to his memory loss, Gideon wasn’t sure how or when

he had incurred his injuries. However, it was common forAmerican POW pilots to enter a detention camps hurt due toinjuries sustained while ejecting from their aircraft.

A total of 13 facilities in North Vietnam were used asdetention camps for American POWs; five camps were locat-ed in Hanoi and the rest were outside of the city. With theexception of the Hỏa Lò Prison, sarcastically named theHanoi Hilton by American POWs, the official names of the 12other Vietnamese camps were unknown.

Gideon’s camp was like other countryside camps used bythe enemy, the sound of the creek and wildlife echoed throughthe surrounding canopy of coconut palm and banana trees.The seemingly peaceful Vietnamese swamplands were asmoke and mirrors to its reality. Rice paddies were being tend-ed by North Vietnamese civilians. It was a lonely place, undis-turbed by the rest of the world. Although Gideon didn’t knowwhere he was, he would be a prisoner there for roughly sixyears, seven months and 13 days.

“The captures thought I was really screwed up mentally,”said Gideon. “I refused to wear the prison rags they provided,I didn’t touch my food and for the most part, I had no ideawhere I was. This behavior went on for weeks.”

A young Navy officer from Florida, known simply as Lt.Browning, was Gideon’s cell mate when he arrived at theprison. Browning helped Gideon adjust to his new surround-ings by tending to his new friend’s injuries, explaining whereGideon was and even refusing to eat Gideon’s food portions.

“Browning wouldn’t eat my food even though I refused totouch it, and not because he wasn’t hungry or afraid of beingpunished,” said Gideon. “He was starving and easily could’veeaten it, but he didn’t want the capturers to think I was eating.He wanted them to know how sick I was. He was just doing itbecause it was the right thing to do.”

The integrity displayed by his cell mate helped Gideontransition to his new, dire surroundings. One day, Gideonfinally accepted a bowl of rice. Within minutes, the entirebowl was gone. A rare humble display of humanity wasshown by the prison guard, who noticed Gideon quickly eathis rice and offered him a second bowl.

However, the display of humanity was short lived.Gideon, like most American POWs at the time, was often

isolated from the other prisoners during questioning. Boundby his wrist with rope, he was viciously interrogated by NorthVietnamese soldiers. But, he did not falter, nor did he break.With a body battered from the savage conditions and evenafter witnessing the pain, and broken bodies, of his fellowservice members; Gideon never reached his breaking point.

“Selling out my country wasn’t an option,” said Gideon,remaining true to his commitment as an Airman. “They knewI wasn’t saying a word, other than what I was trained to say.”

American POWs were often forced to sign confessions ofguilt, write letters to American politicians or be manipulatedin other ways, and used as an asset for the North Vietnamesemilitary agenda. Some prisoners were given special treatment,or favors by their capturers, by simply cooperating with them.Gideon refused any special treatment because he felt to acceptanything from the enemy would place him in the enemy’sdebt, a price he refused to pay.

“There were times I started to become discouraged,” saidGideon, looking back on his tested resiliency as a POW.“Every year that passed, [away from family] I wondered whatwas happening back home. New prisoners would come in andsay things like, ‘there’s no way we’ll be here after the first ofnext year’ and that year would pass. Then another year passedand another and so on … and eventually, many years passed.At times, that was very discouraging.”

Although he could have easily succumbed to the despair,Gideon never gave up on his faith in the United States. Yearspassed, and his family waited patiently for his return. Heknew they would be taken care of by the Air Force until thatday arrived.

“There was no escaping the prison,” said Gideon. “Even ifthere were, I couldn’t leave those men behind. I wouldn’t beable to live with myself knowing the punishment that wouldhave been bestowed upon them.”

In the years Gideon was prisoner, only one prison break wasattempted. The two Americans that attempted the escape werecaught within hours and subjected to even longer amounts of tor-ture than they spent away from the prison. One of the men diedfrom the excessive beating he received from the enemy.

Gideon never gave up, through more than six years ofprayer, exercising in his prison cell, believing on the UnitedStates’ promise to bring him home and being friends with hisfellow American POWs, he kept hope alive. And althoughComprehensive Airman Fitness didn’t exist during Vietnam,Gideon and his fellow prisoners unknowingly used those pil-lars to survive.

On March 4, 1973, Gideon’s prayers were answered. Hewas liberated and able to return home. Looking back, he holdsno grudge against his capturers, and his positive outlook onlife has helped him move on from the turmoil that shackledhim physically and mentally for the better part of a decade.

Gideon went on to retire from the Air Force as a coloneland spent his last years of active duty commanding the 437thAW Supply Squadron and Resource Management deputycommander at Charleston Air Force Base, S.C. Upon retire-ment, he remained in the local area and today lives a quiet lifein Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

Even though he has moved on with his life, let go of thepains of yesterday and rarely talks about his time as a POW,he will never forget the sacrifices made and encourages every-one to remember the 1,655 still missing after the conflicts inSoutheast Asia more than 40 years ago.

Joint Base Charleston is scheduled to host several eventsthis April in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month is recognized across thecountry by both civilian and military communities.

This year's slogan is, "We own it ... We'll solve it ...Together."

"Sexual Assault is a very real issue in today's military andour hope is to bring more awareness throughout the month ofApril with various events," said Lucy Rodriguez, 628th AirBase Wing Sexual Assault Prevention and Response coordi-nator for JB Charleston - Air Base. "A Commanders 5k Runstarting at the Air Base Fitness Center April 5, 2013, will kickoff the campaign."

A sexual assault awareness information table, manned byvictim advocates, will be set up at the 5k run as well.

There will also be several other events including a viewingof the documentary "The Invisible War" April 24 and 25 at theAir Base Theater.

"I highly recommend Airmen attend the documentaryviewing because it really goes in depth to the affects sexual

assault has on a victim and their unit," said Rodriguez.A self-defense class will be held at the Air Base Fitness

Center April 23 and 25 and is open to all military members."The self-defense class is also very important for Airmen to

attend," said Rodriguez. "I have worked with victims whohave used self-defense to protect themselves during sexualassaults."

Information tables with victim advocates will be set up dur-ing the month at the Air Base Commissary and Exchange toprovide answers customers may have regarding reporting sex-ual assaults or about the program itself.

"Our goal is to raise awareness while eliminating stigma-tisms and myths about sexual assault," said Senior Master Sgt.Wendell Simms, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response vic-tim advocate. "We also want to put an end to sexual assaults,because there is no room for this type of behavior in our mil-itary."

The Air Base will end the month with a "Take Back theNight Walk" event which will include guest speakers.

For more information on Sexual Assault Awareness Monthevents at the Air Base, contact Rodriguez at 963-7272.

The Weapons Station will also hold various Sexual AssaultAwareness Month activities, including an information table set

up at the Weapons Station Galley every Monday during themonth from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Additionally, a 5k run will be heldApril 11 at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command as wellas a luncheon at the end of the month. Time and location for theluncheon are still to be determined. For locations and times ofevents at the Weapons Station, contact the WS Sexual AssaultPrevention and Response coordinator at 764-7428.

JB Charleston hosts SAPR events

prevention is not a new concept, but locally we will be com-bining efforts in a new way to ensure the safety of our com-munity, both on and off the installation and the protection ofour Airmen."

"Our expectations are clear, leaders need to take care oftheir Airmen and we expect Airmen to make the right choic-es," said Hartford. "Whether it is binge drinking or underagedrinking, the wrong choices can undermine our foundations,strain relations and ultimately place mission success at risk."

The goal of the DUI Battle Plan is to decrease DUIs with-in the JB Charleston community. To help accomplish thisgoal, the Battle Plan calls for the regular base-wide dissemi-nation of information regarding the number of DUIs theinstallation has experienced.

"We want to be open about how many DUIs are happeningwith the hope this will deter future offenders," saidMcMeekin.

The plan creates three categories, or DUI CONDITIONS:Green, Yellow, and Red. If there is a rise in DUIs within a 60-day period the condition level will change and specific actionswill be taken to include: Commanders Calls, DUI checkpointsat random locations and an increased marketing campaign forsafe and sober activities.

"In the case an Airman is arrested for a DUI, he or she willbe required to report to the Mental Health office to be admit-ted into the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Program,"said Michel.

The ADAPT program includes substance abuse prevention,education, treatment and urinalysis testing.

"Airmen may be admitted into the ADAPT program if theyare involved in any alcohol related incident, not just a DUI," saidStaff Sgt. Kody Parsons, 628th MDG Mental Health ADAPTtechnician. "Airmen can also do self-identification admittance ifthey feel they have a substance abuse problem. The self-identi-fication step is a smart way to avoid any future issues or prob-lems that will arise from long term substance abuse."

In addition to efforts to stem drunk driving, local leadersare also targeting underage drinking with the help of a grantfrom the Department of Justice. State and installation officialsare implementing Project STAR, safety through alcoholresponsibility, to identify steps to help prevent underagedrinking and promote positive lifestyle choices. The three-year grant allots the base more than $600,000 to increase pre-vention measures.

"This grant will help the base pay for training, alcohol lawenforcement teams, road blocks and other forms of implemen-tation," said Terecia Wilson, South Carolina Project Star man-

ager. "The grant not only helps the Airmen at Joint BaseCharleston, but it also helps the surrounding community bypromoting healthy lifestyle choices."

The application process and approval for the Project STARgrant happened nearly over night.

"I was contacted by an individual on the committee notify-ing me about the grant and the short deadline we had to sub-mit a proposal," said McMeekin. "Base leadership, along withbase legal, approved the endeavor. We submitted the proposaland waited with crossed fingers ... then found out it wasapproved and that Joint Base Charleston had been selected."

A component of Project STAR is the Needs and ResourcesAssessment, which will help identify where the problems withunderage drinking by military personnel on JB Charleston areoccurring, the types of problems underage drinking is causing,the consequences for everyone involved, current resources,and programs being applied to the problem.

"It is important for Airmen to understand they can't pickand choose which laws theychoose to follow," said Col.Judith Hughes, 628th MDGcommander and DUI BattlePlan committee member."Volunteering to serve inuniform means you willinglyhold yourself to a higherstandard, and that includesfollowing the law."

The overall focus of theDUI Battle Plan is to helpkeep Airmen from makingbad decisions and keep themfocused on making goodones.

"Project STAR and theDUI Battle Plan is in-linewith the 'Protect Your Future- Make Responsible Choices'message," said Hughes."Good choices made todaycan build positive habits thatlast a lifetime and can pre-vent lost opportunities manyyears from now in multipleareas of an Airman's life,"said Hughes."

By Capt. Michael Busse437th Operations Support Squadron

Col. Darren Hartford, 437th Airlift Wing commander, recently hosted a two-day Air ForceSmart Operations for the 21st Century Senior Leader class for all group and squadron leader-ship. The class, led by Dr. Ken Kirby, included a number of efficiency-based topics including:the 8-step problem solving method, strategic alignment and feployment, and a lean case studyof the Boeing 787 production line.

Kirby, a professor from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, has been at the forefront oftraining senior Air Force and business leaders. He has 52 years of experience redesigning man-ufacturing systems and business processes in a variety of industries across the globe. To date,he has consulted with 35 companies in effort to streamline their company's processes. Resultsinclude enhanced products, safer work conditions, increased customer satisfaction andimproved profit.

These principles are not new to the Air Force. Since 2006, the Air Force has been using theLean concepts of AFSO21 in an attempt to curb the tide of rising operating costs. However,with the recent reductions to the Air Force's top-line budget and the likelihood of future budg-et reductions, executing these sound concepts only become more important.

"This isn't just about saving money anymore, it's now also about maintaining our capabili-ty while potentially losing manpower," said Lt. Col. Matt Leard, 437th Operations SupportSquadron commander. "AFSO21 isn't just about making our processes more efficient. It is alsoabout ensuring our processes align with leadership's strategic direction."

Lt. Col. Joe Meyer, 14th Airlift Squadron commander, emphasized that "StrategicAlignment should focus on a few priorities that can be translated from a top-level mission andvision, to tactical-level tasks done by our Airmen on a daily basis. It is important for leader-ship at all levels to be able to communicate that mission and vision to task thread clearly to ourAirman."

Participants were able to see many of these practices being executed during a tour ofBoeing's 787 production facility in North Charleston, S.C. Lt. Col. Stew Newton, 16th AirliftSquadron commander, said, "You could really tell Boeing is focused on eliminating wastethroughout their production process. The LEAN process is about conserving resources andmanpower, and Boeing makes sure their employees are versed in LEAN principles whilefocused on their primary mission - producing aircraft."

With the conclusion of the two-day course, JB Charleston leaders had cultivated theirprocess knowledge and were further encouraged to champion these concepts. As we imple-ment these ideologies as an enterprise, command leadership will prove vital to affectingprogress across all ranks and duties.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –The Air Force has successfully upgraded and transferred theMilitary Personnel Data System to the Defense InformationSystems Agency Defense Enterprise Computing Center, AirForce Personnel Center officials said March 25.

"We're pleased that the MilPDS upgrade took less time thananticipated, and we are well on our way to getting informationupdated in the system," said Joe Thele, the Air Force PersonnelOperations Agency director. "The quick turn and successfulupgrade is due to the meticulous planning and hard work ofour Total Force team."

MilPDS is the primary records database for personnel dataand actions that occur throughout every Airman's career.MilPDS is also used to initiate pay actions, maintain Air Forceaccountability and strength data and support a host of interac-tions with other Air Force and Department of Defense process-es and systems that rely on personnel data.

AFPOA and Air Force Lifecycle Management Center teamsworked closely with the Defense Manpower Data Center,AFPC, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Air ForceSpace Command, and base personnel teams to develop a com-prehensive plan to bring down the old personnel data system,upgrade it, and stand it back up. March 4, AFPC CommanderMaj. Gen. A.J. Stewart hit the button to shut down MilPDS forwhat was expected to be 23 days. However, the upgrade wasaccomplished in 17 days.

Active-duty, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve per-sonnel agencies are working hand in hand with base force sup-port squadrons and military personnel sections to update per-sonnel data and transactions in MilPDS.

"This upgrade and transfer being accomplished in less timethan expected is a testament to the strides we've made to worktogether for the good of all three components of the Total AirForce," Thele said.

Additional information will be provided once updates arecomplete. For more information about this and other person-nel issues, visit the myPers website at http://mypers.af.mil.

Tell Them, “I Saw It In The Patriot!”

By Staff Sgt. Anthony HyattJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

With a 3-9 regular season win-loss record, the 628th CivilEngineer Squadron capped off a Cinderella season with a vic-tory against the 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron in thefinal game of the 2013 Intramural Basketball Season March25, 2013, at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base.

Earning the ninth out of 10 seeds in the playoffs, the 628thCES fought their way into the championship game beating the628th Security Forces Squadron, the undefeated, number one-seeded 628th Force Support Squadron, and the 437thMaintenance Squadron.

The 628th LRS team finished the regular season with thesecond best record in the league (9-3) and earned themselvesa number two seed in the playoffs. They cruised into thechampionship game beating the Army Basketball team andthe 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron-1 team.

In their first match-up during the regular season, LRS gotthe best of CES; winning 45 to 35.

Their roles would reverse in the championship game. "Our thoughts going into the championship game were 're-

demption'," said Andrew Dean, 628th CES Basketball coach."Last year, we went 14 and 0 during the regular season andLRS gave us our first loss in the playoffs. I have been tellingmy guys all season that all we had to do is make it into thedance. Regular season has no meaning. If we make the play-offs we have a chance to do something special."

Game Highlights

1st half The CES jumped out to a quick 5 - 0 lead, when Gerry

Jamison scored the first points of the championship game witha quick inside move and Brian Haney added a 3-pointer.

LRS scored their first point when Jordan Pete was sent tothe free-throw line after a foul.

A couple of scores from Andrew Harris, Jeston Freemanand Jamison expanded CES's lead to 13 - 3.

LRS began to chip away at the score and knocked downseven straight points. Todd Tolbert and Nathan Gullett addedscores while Richard Gilchrist hit a 3-pointer.

With 11.2 seconds left in the first half, Harris stole the ballfrom LRS Aaron Megger and scored on an easy fast break.

CES went into the locker room with a 26 to 14 half-time lead."Our coach's game plan was to put pressure on them [LRS]

and to take them out of their comfort zone - guarding thembehind the 3-point line," said Harris.

"We did a good job defensively, even though the scoredidn't reflect it," said Robert Degregorio, 628th LRScoach/player. "Our biggest goal was to stop their outsideshooter from getting hot."

2nd halfThe CES team continued where they left off in the first

half and increased their lead to 31 - 14. On the other side,LRS was unable to find their groove as they failed to scoreuntil nearly six minutes into the second half.

Harris continued to pour on the points as he added anothernine points in a little over three minutes.

With the score 48 - 24 and 28.1 secondsleft to play, LRS closed out the game withthe final six points.

The deficit proved to be too much forLRS. As time expired, the final score was48 to 30 with the 628th CES capturing thebase championship.

"We just could never get going offen-sively," said Degregorio. "A big congratsto CES for the way they turned themselvesaround for the playoffs. This was a teamthat was 3 and 9 and they knocked out thenumber one seed on their way to the cham-pionship - a real Cinderella story. My hat isoff to them on a well-deserved champi-onship."

The top scorers for CES were Haneywith 15 and Harris and Jamison with 12each. Gilchrist had 13 points for the LRSteam and Pete added another seven points.

"It was a hell of a season," said Dean."Some ups and a lot of downs, but this iswhy you never quit. Stay on course andalways look for something positivetoward the future. My guys never quit onthemselves or the team. The 628th CESbasketball team is the 2013 JB Charlestonchampions and nobody can take that awayfrom us."

HOW’S YOUR

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular and often rapid

heart rate. For many with A-fib, it feels like the heart is

racing or a fish is flopping in the chest, or it may feel like

a fast flutter or drum pounding. Others may not feel any

symptoms, but don’t be fooled, A-fib is a serious medical

condition. People with A-fib are 500 times more likely to

suffer a stroke and also at risk for heart failure.

Fortunately, the Roper St. Francis Heart & Vascular Center

offers a variety of treatments to improve and sometimes

cure atrial fibrillation, in effect, resetting the heart rhythm.

If your heart is racing or pounding or you feel dizzy, weak

or out of breath, see your doctor. The board certified

electrophysiologists at Roper St. Francis Heart & Vascular

Center have many options to treat A-fib and get you back

in rhythm.

Story and photos by Senior Airman George GoslinJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Air Force Honor Guard recruiting team visited JointBase Charleston - Air Base, March 25, 2013, to recruitAirmen to join its elite ranks.

During their visit, the team held an Honor Guard DrillTeam demonstration inside the Air Base Theater, followed bya question and answer session for potential applicants.

"There is definitely a difference between the base HonorGuard and the Air Force Honor Guard," said Donna Collins,628th Force Support Squadron Mortuary Affairs coordinator."At the base level, our members do everything, from present-ing the colors to pallbearers to a gun-salute team. At the AirForce level, the Honor Guard has specific flights for the indi-vidual teams, so if you're on the firing party, for example,that's all you do."

The Air Force Honor Guard recruits the majority of itsmembers from basic training, but they also need noncommis-sioned officers. The requirements for this elite team are:

• Airmen must be eligible for a permanent change-of-sta-tion reassignment.

• Performance reports must show the applicant has consis-tently demonstrated high standards of character, discretion,loyalty and performance.

• No physical disqualifiers, to include history of posture,back, knee, feet, joint or equilibrium problems.

• 20/20 vision is required, or correctable via contact lenses. • Must present an impeccable military image and conform

to exacting grooming standards; no shaving waivers allowed. • No fear of firearms or have a history of anxiety, emotion-

al or nervous system disorders. • Ability to speak clearly and distinctly with no speech impediment. • Desired height requirement for males is 5 foot, 10 inches and for females, 5 foot,

6 inches. • Have no conviction under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice during current enlistment.

Airmen interested in joining the Air Force Honor Guard and who meet the minimumrequirements, can visit http://www.honorguard.af.mil/recruiting/index.asp and complete theapplication process.

For more information, contact Senior Master Sgt. Michelle McMeekin, 628th FSS CareerAssistant advisor, at 963-2768.

It is one of eight Watson-class ships that are pre-positioned around theglobe with nearly everything an Army or Marine contingent needs to begin operations. The shipsreturn to port in the United States every one to three years, and Joint Base Charleston is the solerestocking point for the ships.
