Joint Base Charleston on trackBy Eric Sesit, NWS Charleston Public Affairs

It has been five years in the making, but on October 1, 2010,Joint Base Charleston (JB CHS) will begin operations as a com-bined Air Force and Navy installation. To help envision what thefuture holds for these two historic military posts, it’s importantto understand how the decision to combine bases came about.

In 2005, the Base Realignment Committee (BRAC) made

recommendations that eventually requiredcombining 26 separate military installationsinto 12 joint bases. In making the decision oncombining the two Charleston bases, BRAClooked at how both installations executedtheir separate support missions and foundthat both used similar or near similarprocesses. BRAC also looked at the proxim-ity of the bases to each other and saw anopportunity to reduce duplication of supportefforts resulting in a reduction of overallmanpower and facilities requirements whichwould generate substantial savings.

Once the decision to combine the baseswas made, BRAC had to decide on the leador receiving service. The commission lookedat the quantitative military value score ofCharleston AFB and compared it to NWSCharleston. The score was too close to be thesole factor determining the lead installationfor management functions. Charleston AFBwas tagged as the lead installation because ofits mission in support of operational forcescompared to NWS Charleston, which has a

primary mission to support training and industrial activities.The first Joint Base Commander of JB CHS is Col. Martha

A. Meeker, USAF. Captain Ralph C. Ward, USN, who justturned over command of Naval Nuclear Prototype Training UnitCharleston, will serve as Deputy Joint Base Commander but willwear a second hat as Commanding Officer Naval Support

Activity, Charleston, the embed Navy unit in JB CHS which willoccur upon the disestablishment of NWS Charleston on Oct. 1.Their goals are clear cut and spelled out in the new Joint Basemission statement: Provide globally ready forces and installationsupport for Joint Base Charleston.

Five years after BRAC’s decision, teams of civilian and mil-itary from both the Navy and the Air Force continue to wadethrough the myriad of military red tape to bring JB CHS to life.

“Surprisingly, although joint basing will provide better serv-ices for the entire community, very few people will actually beaffected by the move,” said LT. Kenneth K. Reikofski, JointBase military liaison officer. “A little more than 2,000 people,military and civilians will be directly impacted, and for most ofthem, their jobs will remain the same.

“The only difference some of our civil servents will see isthat they are now Air Force employees. However, when you’retalking about people that have been with the Navy for 20, some-times 30 years, it’s a little harder to change then someone whoonly has a few years of government service. There will definite-ly be some growing pains.”

For the tenant commands on both NWS Charleston andCharleston AFB, joint basing should be fairly transparent.

“Both bases have been providing outstanding services totheir tenant commands for years. This is not going to change.Providing our customers with the best service possible is whatjoint basing is all about,” said Reikofski. “Our tenant commandsconstantly provide us feedback, objective assessments andmeasures of our performance in how well we provide our serv-ices to them. Under joint basing, our combined services will benothing less than world class.”

Keeping Low Country Warriors On Course

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 swelter-

ing 85 degrees with 90 percent humid-

ity. 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 stud-

ies, 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 accom-

plish. Our staffs are working feverish-

ly to meet the October 1 deadline, and

by the looks of things, we will defi-

nitely 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 prom-

ise 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 def-

initely 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 organiza-

tion 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 with-

out 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

RADM Nora Tyson hasassumed command ofCSG 2.

The Defense Department is adjusting itschild care fees, adding categories for its highestincome earners to compensate for six yearswithout fee range increases, Pentagon officialsannounced today.

The department’s Military and CommunityFamily Policy Office has added three cate-gories to the top of its fee schedule to go intoeffect by September 30, Barbara Thompson,director, office of family policy, children andyouth, said during an interview with AmericanForces Press Service and The PentagonChannel. Each service will issue specific feeguidelines, including exceptions to the feeschedule, and adopt fees within the policyoffice’s ranges, she said.

The adjustment brings the number of feecategories to nine, causing some people tomove into different categories, Thompson said.In the previous fee schedule, which has been ineffect since 2004, everyone with a total familyincome of $70,001 or more was in Category VI– the top level – and paid an average of $124per child per week, she said.

Under the new schedule, families with atotal family income between $73,501 and$85,000 will be in Category VI and will paybetween $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 perweek;

- Category V – incomes from $57,751 to$73,500 – will pay between $106-$121 perweek;

- Category VI – incomes from $73,501 to$85,000 – will pay between $122-$130 perweek;

- Category VII – incomes from $85,001 to$100,000 – will pay between $131-$133 perweek;

- Category VIII – incomes from $100,001to $125,000 – will pay between $134-$136 perweek;

- Category IX – incomes of $125,001 orabove – will pay between $137-$139 per week.

“We understand that these are tough eco-nomic times for families, but we did this verydeliberately after careful study,” she said.“When you look at what you’re getting foryour child care fees, it’s a wonderful opportu-nity in a high-quality care environment.”

The preparations are almost complete as a series ofspecial events will help bring two bases togetherinto the premier Joint Base in the country.

E-Leave system in placeThe 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 oncetheir Command Leave Administrator (CLA) completes initialsetup within the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System(NSIPS) application.

The Navy requires all PSDs, CSDs and shore commandsto be fully using E-Leave by Oct. 31. Sailors, reviewers andapprovers can access E-Leave through NSIPS athttps://nsips.nmci.navy.mil.

CLAs will have the capability to manage E-Leave trans-actions to include correction and cancellation. E-Leave willautomatically check-out Sailors on leave 24 hours after ini-tial start date and will automatically check-in Sailors 72hours after the return date. CLA or ESR self-service userswill also have the ability to request an extension.

Sailors who have not yet established their web ESR Self-Service access can do so at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil.

Bupers transitions to new message systemThe Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) and Navy

Personnel Command (NPC) announced they will transitionto a new message system beginning in August.

According to NAVADMIN 249/10, all unclassified mes-sage traffic from BUPERS and NPC, including permanentchange of station orders, will be sent via command e-mail.This change is a result of the Navy ending support for theDefense Messaging System (DMS).

To create as transparent a change as possible, BUPERS isfielding a new system called Government OfficialInformation Exchange System (GOES). The GOES systemwill act as a router for all BUPERS official information des-tined for command email or other web based applications.All commands that have set up delivery paths within GOESwill receive official information from BUPERS via com-mand email. GOES also supports Sailors stationed in non-Navy billets such as those in Individual Augmentee assign-ments.

On July 16th, CaptainThomas W. Bailey, NavalNuclear Power TrainingCommand (NNPTC)Commanding Officer,expressed his appreciation tonine volunteer tour guidesfrom Patriots Point Naval &Maritime Museum in

Charleston, SC for their tire-less efforts in training almost900 NNPTC Sailors a year.

Every Monday, NNPTCsends between 18 and 40enlisted students to PatriotsPoint to visit USS Yorktownand related museums. Thenine volunteer tour guides rec-

ognized by NNPTC spendnumerous afternoons sharingtheir knowledge of U.S. histo-ry and their personal experi-ences aboard naval vessels.

The volunteers, who alto-gether have been giving toursat Patriots Point for 43 years,are a mix of retired militaryand civilians with a desire toshare their love of naval histo-ry. The volunteers; MarvinVeronee, Sid Busch, ArnieStein, David Schuler, BurrelBoatwright, Gerald Lepley,Janet Lepley, Marvin Miller,and Mr. Jerry Stout, were rec-ognized with Letters ofCommendation for theirefforts in supportingNNPTC’s mission of produc-ing safe and trusted nuclearoperators ready for follow-ontraining and, ultimately, serv-ice in the fleet. Currently,about a third of the enlistedstudents who go through theNuclear Propulsion Training

Program get the chance tovisit USS Yorktown. Many ofthese students, upon arrivingat NNPTC, have never set footon a naval ship. As CaptainBailey pointed out during theceremony, the decommis-sioned vessels at Patriots Pointallow the students an opportu-nity to see what [the] engi-neering space, berthing, flightdeck and hanger bay look likegiving young Sailors some-thing tangible to focus onwhile in a classroom environ-ment.

Aside from allowingNNPTC students a close lookat a naval vessel similar to oneon which they will soon liveand work, the tour guidesshare a sense of being part ofsomething greater than them-selves. Patriots Point Naval &Maritime Museum helps showhow these students are part ofthe legacy inherited by all USNavy members.

Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and wild fires have allrecently impacted the lives of Sailors and their families.

Navy leaders are reminding Sailors about the importance ofbeing prepared by having renter's insurance.

"We have learned a number of very valuable lessons fromboth Hurricane Katrina and our flood here in Millington," saidRear Adm. Don Quinn, commander, Navy Personnel Command."One important lesson is that our Navy families own more thingsthan either the government or our PPV Housing partners are pre-pared to replace. Renter's insurance is cheap and great for peaceof mind. I strongly encourage all Navy families who are rentingor in base housing to invest in this very important safety net."

Sailors renting homes off-base generally purchase theamount of coverage they require to cover the potential loss ofpersonal effects. Some residents of base housing mistakenlybelieve that they are provided full insurance coverage from thegovernment. That is not the case.

Residents of public/private venture housing are generallyprovided limited insurance coverage under the terms of therental agreement.

"Residents should check their leasing agreement to deter-mine the extent of that coverage because it is location depend-ent," said Virginia Eilmus, head, Personnel Claims Unit Norfolk."In addition, residents of base housing may be entitled to com-pensation for damage or loss under the Military Personnel andCivilian Employees Claims Act (Personnel Claims Act). ThePersonnel Claims Act (PCA) allows for limited compensationfor active duty service members and DoD civilian employees

whose personal property is lost, damaged or destroyed becauseof their military service. Members who desire to submit a claimare required to first file a claim with their insurance carrier."

The maximum value of a claim filed under the PCA is limit-ed to $40,000 and service members who file claims will onlyreceive a depreciated value on their lost or damaged property.

"Renter's insurance is important, it is the best way to protectyour personal property," said Navy Personnel Command ForceMaster Chief (AW/SW/NAC) Jon Port. "And when you're busydealing with all the various issues that happen during and after adisaster, having one less thing to worry about is a blessing."

Just like other insurance policies, there are limits to whatrenter's insurance will cover, what kind of deductibles may berequired and policy costs.

For advice about renter's insurance, Port suggests Sailorsvisit 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 (ifpossible) and purchase dates.

• Make an informed decision: Ask your insurance companyabout theft limits, cash or replacement value, deductible optionsand discounts.

• Shop around: Call a variety of insurance agents, and keeptrack of the coverage and costs.

• Read the policy: It's a contract; ensure you understand theobligations spelled out.

When it comes to the democratic process,everyone is encouraged to register to vote,study the issues and candidates, and ultimate-ly vote as part of their civic obligations.

Beyond these basic actions, as primary andgeneral elections approach, military membersand Department of Defense civilian employ-ees may start feeling the itch become moreactive in the political process. When feelingthat urge, it's important to understand the rulesgoverning federal employee participation inpolitical activities.

What is a political activity? A politicalactivity is an activity directed toward the suc-cess or failure of a political party, candidatefor partisan political office, or a partisan polit-ical group. There are two partisan politicalactivities: partisan and nonpartisan. Partisanactivities relate to candidates or issues ofnational or state political parties. Candidacyfor national or state office is considered parti-san, even if the candidate is not affiliated witha national or state political party. Partisanactivities are more restricted than nonpartisan

activities.Nonpartisan activities are not associated

with a national or state political party butinvolve "stand alone" political issues, such asconstitutional amendments, municipal ordi-nances, etc. Employees have more leewaywith nonpartisan activities so long as theyrefrain from using government facilitiesand/or resources and so long as the employeeavoids any implication that the Air Forceendorses or supports their activity.

The DOD has established guidelines andpolicies that restrict both types of politicalactivities by military members and federalemployees. Listed below are a few politicalactivity guidelines:

Military members may:· Register, vote, and express their opinions

on political candidates (but not as representingthe military)

· Make monetary contributions to a politi-cal organization

· Attend partisan and non-partisan politicalmeetings or rallies as a spectator when not in

uniform· Display a political sticker on a privately

owned vehicle

Military members may not:· Use his or her official authority or influ-

ence to interfere with an election· Participate in partisan political manage-

ment, campaigns, or conventions· Make campaign contributions to another

member of the military or an employee of thefederal government

· Solicit or receive a campaign contribu-tions from another member of the military

· Display a large political sign, banner, orposter on the top or side of a private vehicle

· March or ride in a partisan politicalparade

Civilian federal employees may:· Be a candidate for public office in nonpar-

tisan elections· Assist in voter registration drives, drive

voters to a polling place, and act as a recorder,

watcher or challenger at a polling place· Serve as election judge or clerk· Make campaign speeches for candidates

in partisan elections'· Distribute campaign literature in partisan

elections

Civilian federal employees should avoid:· Soliciting, accepting or receiving political

contributions unless both individuals aremembers of the same federal labor organiza-tion or employee organization, and the onesolicited is not subordinate

· Knowingly soliciting or discouraging thepolitical activity of any person who has busi-ness before the agency

· Engaging in political activity while onduty

· Engaging in political activity while in anygovernment office

· Hosting or sponsoring a politicalfundraiser (although you may attend it, andyour spouse may host the fundraiser.)

People often ask me if I enjoyworking out. I’ve never reallystopped to consider this until Istarted thinking about what Iwanted to write about in this arti-cle. Does anybody truly enjoy themonotony of picking up heavymetal objects and putting themback down, only to pick themback up again? Or how about run-ning on a strip of rubber whereafter running countless miles, youare still in the exact same spot?

Lack of motivation is the causeof many of our struggles to get andstay fit. Sometimes exercise notonly isn’t fun, but is a tedious,sweaty task that no one likes to do.The good new is that there aremany ways to make fitness fun. How you exercise isn’t nearly as important as findingthe 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 hav-ing fun when I worked out, because games and practices were fun! Motivation is dif-ferent for everybody. Some are able to motivate themselves from within, while othersneed to be pushed. Some of us need an incentive, and others simply will not allowthemselves to be motivated. For those of you reading this that are able to wake upbefore the sun rises, crank out five miles and lift weights, I applaud you. These individ-uals possess an enormous amount of self-discipline that the rest of us admire. Themajority of us need a little boost get going. That’s why I do my best to come up withnew 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 otheroptions. Why not jump rope or try roller blades?

Experience the great outdoors - Charleston is a very diverse playground. Lookaround for parks, walking trails and bike paths. Visit nearby scenic landmarks, rivers orthe beach for a great day hike.

Train for a race - Why not train for an athletic event? This is a great way to addadrenaline, excitement and anticipation into your fitness workouts.

Beat the heat - Stay cool and get a great workout by visiting the pool to take a wateraerobics class, swim laps or join a swim team.

Workouts that interest and excite you provide needed exercise while having fun. Themore fun the work out is, the more likely you will stick with it and go a little longer andharder. 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 thatthere is something out there for everybody. So, find something you like to do and getmoving!

Sexual assault prevention and response victimadvocate training

Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexu-ally assault (Bureau of Justice Statistics). The Fleet and FamilySupport Center is committed to the safety and well-being of Navypersonnel and their families. Through its Sexual AssaultPrevention and Response (SAPR) program (formally SAVI), theFFSC provides victim advocacy training. According to the officialwebsite of the United States Navy (www.navy.mil) approximately35 new Navy sexual assault investigations are initiated by theNaval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) every month. In FY-2009, 62 percent of all Navy reported sexual assaults were servicemember on service member. Victim advocates are trained to be“crisis respondents” and coordinate with local and civilian organi-zations to make sure that sexual assault victims receive appropri-ate medical, legal and emotional care.

Sending students back to schoolsafely

Summer is not officially over yet, butfor many students, school will beginsoon. As parents and students are gettingready for the start of a new school yearand with all the excitement this brings,safety may not be the first thing thatsprings to mind. Whether they walk, ridetheir bike or travel by car or bus, here area few tips to ensure our students get toand from school safely:

·Line up facing the bus, not alongsideit.

·Do not play in the street while wait-ing for the bus.

·Never talk to strangers while on theway to school or at any other time.

·Never go with a stranger or entertheir home

·Never accept anything from astranger.

·Instruct children to walk with anadult or a group of children, if possi-ble.

·Everyone in the car should wear aseatbelt.

·Children of working parents aresometimes left alone at home for brief periods in the afternoons. Teachthem that they should never open thedoor to strangers.

·If a child, alone at home, shouldanswer the phone while you are out,teach them to refrain from telling thecaller that they are alone.

·Teach children to be aware of theirsurroundings and to take the safe wayto school - never a shortcut.

·Remind children to walk their bicycles as they cross the streets and touse bicycle paths where possible.

Backpacks are great for carryingbooks and other school items; however,they are harmful if not used correctlycausing possible shoulder or neckinjuries, back pain and muscle strains.
