The civic leaders didn't go to Tampa for the beaches; theywent to learn about the military mission.

Members of the Joint Base Charleston Civic LeaderProgram traveled by C-17 Globemaster III from JBCharleston to MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., Nov. 5, 2014, toparticipate in a one-day military tour highlighting the 6th AirMobility Wing mission.

The visit allowed JB Charleston's civic leaders an opportu-nity to learn firsthand about the ongoing missions and opera-tions of the 8th Air Force and Air Mobility Command.Before departing JB Charleston, Col. John Lamontagne,

437th Airlift Wing commander, addressed the group with afew opening remarks and thanked them for their ongoing helpand support.According to James Bowman, 628th Air Base Wing Public

Affairs community relations representative, “The goal of theJB Charleston Civic Leader Program is to educate and inspirerepresentatives of the local community. Traveling with thecivics to MacDill not only strengthens the bond we've madewith the community, but also strengthens the bond with ourmobility partners."Among the military officers from MacDill accompanying

the civics were Brig. Gen. James Slife, U.S. Central Commandvice director, Col. Dan Tulley, 6th Mobility Air Wing com-mander and Col. Andre Briere, 6th MAW vice commander.While visiting MacDill, the civic leaders toured Hangar 5,

belonging to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration, but known around the world simply as "TheHurricane Hunters."NOAA flies out of MacDill into hurricanes, but their mis-

sion extends to monitoring the health of marine species andwatching for poachers.After visiting with the Hurricane Hunters, the civics had

lunch with MacDill's civic leaders before trying their hands attraining simulators that included landing an aircraft, operatinga boom and parachuting to a designated location."This event wouldn't have been successful without the

teamwork of MacDill AFB," said Bowman.

As a member of the Joint Base Charleston community are you getting what you want outof the services provided at both the Air Base and the Weapons Station?If not, the JB Charleston Quality of Life Council needs your input.Base leadership opened up the floor to the JB Charleston community here at the Charleston

Club, Nov. 3, 2014, and provided a forum for members to have their questions answered andfor some, their issues resolved.Agencies from both the Air Base and Weapons Station were on hand to address issues

affecting members at both locations.Topics discussed during the meeting ranged from customer service hours at the 628th

Comptroller Squadron; what documents someone might need if they want to travel via Space-A from the JB Charleston passenger terminal, to issues Forest City and Balfour Beatty havewithin their housing communities."The Quality of Life Council meeting provides an opportunity for members of the JB

Charleston community to bring their questions and their concerns regarding quality of lifeissues directly to base leadership," said Navy Capt. Timothy Sparks, JB Charleston deputycommander. "It's important that our service members and their families have a forum thatencourages open dialogue about the things that impact them directly."For those who are unable to attend these Quality of Life Council meetings, there is another

forum that allows JB Charleston community members to provide comments. The Interactive Customer Evaluation service, better known as I.C.E., provides commanders

with immediate and timely feedback on the various services their organizations provide.Organizations at JB Charleston soliciting feedback through the I.C.E. program include: the

628th Contracting Squadron, 628th Force Support Squadron, 437th Aerial Port Squadron, theArmy and Air Force Exchange Service as well as the Naval Health Clinic Charleston whichuses the I.C.E. system to allow patients to provide feedback on pharmacy, radiology, centralappointments and referral management issues, just to name a few.According to Lt. Col. Jennifer Judd, 628th FSS commander, in the coming months, the

628th FSS hopes to partner with the Community Action Information Board to expand I.C.E.

system participation and get more Joint Base Charleston agencies onboard, making it a onestop shop for feedback; both good and bad.The next Quality of Life Council meeting is currently scheduled for March 2, 2015, and will

be held at the Charleston Club starting at 10 a.m. Active duty, Reserve, Department of Defenseemployees, retirees and spouses are all encouraged to attend.To provide feedback for services prior to the next Quality of Life Council meeting, patrons

Sometimes life can be frustrating because peo-ple and events enter our lives that seem to conflictwith our life plan and our best interests. However,we always need to remind ourselves that every-thing that happens in our life happens for a reason.Nothing happens by chance or as a result of "luck."Whether it be love, illness or sheer stupidity, every-thing happens to test the limits of our soul and toenable one to reach their true potential.

Without these tests, life would be a smooth flatroad to nowhere, dull and pointless with no oppor-tunity to grow. Often times, people come into ourlives and we know right away they are meant to bethere. They often come at times or in situationswhen they are least expected. Other times it maytake a while to realize why they are here.However, they aren't going away until the issue isdealt with.The learning experiences aren't always what we

consider as negative. Often times, it is a veryrewarding time. We need to remember that often

times the most trying and negative times are theinstances when we learn the most and reap thegreatest rewards. There have been several times inmy life when what I thought was a negative eventactually turned into something positive.Everything really does happen for a reason.

There are no good or bad experiences, only learn-ing experiences. Appreciate every moment andevery event in your life and be ready to garnerunexpected rewards from every encounter andexperience you have. You never know how it willturn out.

Everything happens for a reason

By Airman 1st Class Taylor Bourgeous92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs

FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. –When you're young, you don't think much

about online safety. At 19, I didn't have a care inthe world; I just wanted to meet new people.Little did I know my care-free attitude onlinewould change my life forever.In January 2013, I made an account on a social

media site my friends recommended. At first Ijust wanted to see what it was about, then oneday a girl named "Taylor Reed" messaged me.She was extremely sweet and said she was newto town, so I started communicating with her andeventually began to like this girl I had never met.We exchanged messages all the time. I tried

many times to meet, but something always cameup for her. After a few weeks of attempts, I gaveup and started talking to her less frequently. Itnever crossed my mind she was not who she saidshe was.One day she wrote to me saying if I didn't

keep doing what she wanted, all of the privatemessages between us would go viral and sent toeveryone I knew on Facebook. At first I was con-fused and scared, and then I realized the person Ihad been talking to was not the girl in the photos--she wasn't even a girl.I asked "him" what he wanted from me and

why he was doing this. He said it was fun; it wasa game to him. I became scared for my life.He told me he picks a random city and finds a

girl to target. He builds up a trusting relationshipand then turns on them without hesitation. Hesaid I had to send him whatever he asked for,whenever he asked for it. There was no reasoningwith him.I began to ask questions, trying to figure out

who this person really was, but eventually hecaught on.He revealed his name, Chris, and said he was

23 years old and living in New York. He said hewas a rich business owner, but wouldn't divulgeany more. The one thing he made sure I knewwas that he was a hacker. He said he had accessto my personal computer and Facebook account,and proved it by telling me things in personalmessages I'd sent. I was terrified and did what hewanted. When I asked how long it would last, hesaid, "Until he got bored."After about a week of avoiding him, I was out on

a run when I noticed an expensive black SUV pass-ing by repeatedly. The driver was staring at methrough darkly tinted windows; I knew I wasn'tsafe.I ran through backyards and even jumped

fences to be sure I wasn't followed home. WhenI arrived home I had a message from Chris say-ing he was sorry and that he got mad I wasn'tresponding so he sent someone to check on me.I was even more terrified. I was engaged to be

married and about to leave for Air Force BasicMilitary Training. I just wanted to move pastthis. I pleaded for him to stop and just leave mealone. At first he laughed, but eventually, he toldme he was done with me. I was so happy, butfound it hard to believe.A few months later I was in technical training,

diving head-first into my new career. I hadn'tthought about my cyber stalker until one day,when I received a Facebook message from some-one claiming to have photos of me. I soon real-ized Chris was back.This time, I sought help. I went to the Air Force

Office of Special Investigations at Ft.George G. Meade, Maryland. Sincewe didn't know if Chris was militaryaffiliated, they put me in touch withthe Federal Bureau of Investigationand also gave me information aboutwhat I could do.They told me to call him out. His

empty threats had carried on longenough. He was probably never going to do any-thing and was just a bully. I followed their adviceand told him I was done playing his games and ifhe wanted to post the private messages, to goahead. He got upset and threatened me, but theywere empty threats; he never posted anything.I deleted everything and started over. Since

then I set up my social media accounts with thehighest level of privacy settings possible andnever put out any personal information. I haven'theard anything from him since; however, the fearof my cyber stalker will always be in the back ofmy mind.By using common sense and being smart

about your social media activity and who youallow into your life online, you can prevent thisfrom happening and help others in your life dothe same.Not all stories end like mine. Some end much

worse, but at the same time some can end muchbetter. All cyber stalking stories can be different.In the end, we all want the same thing - for every-one to be safe online.If you or someone you know is being stalked

online you should contact your local lawenforcement office.

Do you 'really' know who you are talking to?

By Col. Peter P. Santa Ana6th Mission Support Group commander

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. –Successful outcomes depend heavily on effectivecommunication. History illustrates this perspectivein individual and family life, the workplace, des-perate situations, and on the strategic world stage.Military leaders understand the importance ofeffective communication in relation to successfulmission accomplishment and strive to providetools and reports which enhance service members'ability to effectively communicate.In Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, then

the HQ International Security Assistance Forcescommander, codified the Strategic AfghanAssessment Report process and report to commu-nicate war progress to the president, 54 other headsof state, congress, and senior leaders of respectivemilitary departments. Air Force leaders institutedthe Airman Comprehensive Assessment or ACAand provided a framework for all Airmen to under-stand themselves in the eyes of their supervisors,set supervisor expectations, and create a situationfor improved subordinate/supervisor dialogue in aneffort to increase effective communication andachieve mission success.Individuals can be classified as introverts or

extroverts. Neither trait should be viewed as a nega-tive or positive to effective communication. Rather,self-knowledge helps people to understand how tostep out of their comfort zones to speak out or to reinthemselves in from a dialogue to listen. Both arenecessary for effective communication. Successfulindividuals recognize their trait and adapt accord-ingly to practice effective communication.

Successful families today, especially large fami-lies, employ schedules and technology to exchangetexts, emails, snap-chats, Instagrams, chat roomdiscussions with teachers, as well as old fashionedphone conversations to effectively communicatelocations, activities, goals, tasks, failings, require-ments, and other necessary attributes to succeed intoday's dynamic world. Most importantly, parentsneed to remember to put their smart phones downand actually listen to their children.In Vietnam, American prisoners of war estab-

lished a tap code to effectively and secretivelycommunicate in an extremely desperate situation.The tap code provided POWs an ability to bond,build a military hierarchy for organization, andeffectively communicate the tortures they experi-enced in order to persevere. Many of the POWsremained jailed for years enduring the isolations,tortures and interrogations of their NorthVietnamese captors. Effectively communicatingthrough the tap code created a life line for survival.Effectively communicating strategically can be

extremely complex and politically challenging. In2009, McChrystal overcame this challenge bydividing the Afghan war into two communicationcampaigns: up-and-out; down-and-in. He used theIntermediate Joint Command to fight the opera-tional campaign and communicate his intent andpriorities in a "down-and-in" fashion. The IJC struc-ture provided McChrystal the sensors and a com-mander to communicate a commanders-in-the-fieldassessment of war progress from an operational per-spective. The general combined the IJC operationalassessment with intelligence, Afghan NationalSecurity Forces progress, and the Afghan govern-ment improvement assessments to create a holistic

report he used to effectively communicate warprogress to the president and 54 other heads of state.The process proved successful to effectively com-municate war progress in a transparent forum tokeep the coalition resourced and remain focused togive the Afghan people a chance at liberty and end30 years of war. The strategic assessment processcontinued after McChrystal's abrupt departure.Similarly, to improve effective communication

up and down to the tactical level, the Air Forceimplemented mandatory use of the ACA July 1 ofthis year. The ACA is organized into four sections:Self-assessment; Airman's Critical Role in Supportof the Mission; Performance Feedback; KnowingYour Airman. Airmen now have a tool to improvesupervisor/subordinate dialogue. Young Airmencan now express to their more experienced super-visors how they see themselves. Supervisors thenprovide context, set expectations and conditionsfor their Airmen to achieve unit mission success.The final section provides a series of questions andwhen applied correctly, it builds supervisors'understanding of their Airmen. By creating effec-tive communication at the tactical level, the AirForce can successfully overcome strategic Airmenissues like sexual assault, suicide, and familydomestic challenges by highlighting these issuesearly and mitigating promptly.Indeed, effective communication can be the key

to success. As the father of a large family, memberof the Afghan Assessment Group, lead action offi-cer to develop the ACA, and commander of the2,200 member Mission Support Group, I believeeffective communication has been the key to someof my success.

Effectively communicating is the key

Commentary by Col. Donald Grannan88th Communications Group commander

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio –She was an Airman Leadership School distinguished gradu-ate, earned staff sergeant her first time testing, received all 5son her enlisted performance reports and took part in twodeployments. Clearly she was a high-performing Airman. But, in her words, the Air Force had made it clear it didn't

want her. Huh?I have proudly served our Air Force all of my adult life, so

I truly didn't understand. Although I wasn't in her chain ofcommand, I've known this young woman throughout hercareer. I tried to reflect on this from a professional, albeitadmittedly biased, point of view. What would make thissuperstar believe we didn't care if she stayed or not?Was it a bad first impression? I remembered an incident

that involved her as a new Airman at her first duty station. Asenior NCO struck her car from behind in a minor fender-ben-der. Instead of admitting fault and moving on, he berated andintimidated this young Airman about the issue. Her first ser-geant, who she looked to for help, would not interject or dis-cuss the issue with the senior NCO. I could have interjected aswell, but I mistakenly believed it wasn't my place. It was. AnAirman needed help, and no one gave it.Was it a lack of encouragement? After she earned staff ser-

geant her first time eligible, she saw the results online on the

Air Force Web. Then ... nothing until the following Mondaywhen the first sergeant stopped by to congratulate her and saidthe commander was "really busy." When she was a distinguished graduate from Airman

Leadership School, it was a highlight in her career. But otherthan her immediate supervisor, no one from her squadronchain of command was present. I know, because I was there.Was it motivation? She was a veteran of two deployments,

including one where she had a few days notice to support ahumanitarian operation. By chance I saw her and anotherAirman at a connecting airport as I was returning from a tem-porary duty assignment. I saw their apprehension and anxietyand made sure they understood to take care of each other, trusttheir training and focus on the mission. But I wondered if theirown leadership had talked to them like this.Did we at least send her out the door with a smile, to

encourage others toward an Air Force career? No. Instead hersuperiors decided there would be no decoration for this out-standing Airman who achieved a lot in a short period of timeand who was highly lauded by her supervisors.Why? Because she had once failed a physical fitness test,

immediately re-took it, and passed. She had tried to 'wing it,'failed the run and learned a lesson.This young, healthy Airman, who weighs a buck-twenty-

five, did not have a fitness or standards problem. She had aleadership problem. No one in her squadron leadership knewabout or was present to witness her exceptional duty perform-

ance, her distinguished graduate accomplishment, her twodeployments or early promotion. But they sure knew aboutthe one time she stumbled.In the end we took an exceptional, highly motivated volun-

teer and did we mold her? No way. Did we encourage her?Not a chance. Did we create a new leader? No. We createdsomeone who cares about our nation but is disillusioned andfrustrated about what our Air Force finds important and unim-portant. We lost an enormous opportunity, and we can't affordto repeat that mistake.Today, more than ever, as our ranks continue to decline, we

must retain the best and most highly motivated Airmen. To dothat, we have to lead them, be in the fight with them and focuson what's truly important and not become hyper-focused onmarginal or anecdotal issues.How many more situations like this are out there? If you're

in a leadership position, are you part of this problem? Do youknow the people under you? Are you in the fight, witnessingtheir capabilities, encouraging and motivating them, or do youonly know about them when they stumble? If you think com-mand or leadership positions are just another assignment,you're part of the problem.Ask yourself, when was the last time a troop brought you a

problem? If that's not happening, it's because they don'tbelieve you can, or will, help them. So get busy proving tothem they can count on you, and you'll be surprised how wellyou can count on them.

How did we lose this young Airman?

WASHINGTON – Air Force officialsapproved Air Force Instruction 1-1, Air ForceStandards, Nov. 7, to clarify guidance onAirmen's religious rights and commanders'authority and responsibility to protect thoserights.The changes come as a result of a

Religious Freedom "Focus Day" earlier thisyear when leaders in the Air Force's chaplaincorps came together to discuss Air Force pol-icy regarding religious freedom as directed byAir Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh III.At the Focus Day, chaplains discussed Air

Force law and policy, the complaint processand how to educate and communicate withAirmen about their rights."We provide, or provide for, the free exer-

cise of religion and we advocate its free exer-cise for every member of the Air Force andthe joint environment and their families," saidMaj. Gen. Howard D. Stendahl, the Air Forcechief of chaplains.Several changes were made to the Air

Force policy to clarify guidance for how com-manders should handle religious accommoda-tion requests or when Airmen's rights to freeexercise are questioned. Chaplain corps offi-cials also clarified policy language to assistcommanders in balancing the constitutional

protections for their own free exercise of reli-gion or other personal beliefs with the consti-tutional prohibition against governmentalestablishment of religion."We trust our commanders with the great

responsibility of caring for our Airmen,"Welsh said. "That includes Airmen's physical,mental, social and spiritual health. We owethem clear guidance on what their responsi-bilities and rights are to protect and care fortheir Airmen."Airmen who feel their leadership has failed

be informed of their rights to discuss theirconcerns with an equal opportunity advisor inthe local EO office."We are committed to creating an environ-

Air Force updates AFInstruction 1-1

By Staff Sgt Renae Pittman628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

Quitting smoking is a popular New Year's resolution, butwith January 1 still two months away, you can get a head startby participating in this year's American Cancer Society'sGreat American Smokeout Nov. 20, 2014.The day is an opportunity for current smokers to pledge not

to smoke for a full day while making plans to quit. They areoffered guidance on effective methods and techniques fromboth health professionals and former smokers which can helpthem kick the habit for good. The Great American Smokeout,which began in the 1970s, also serves as a platform to publi-cize the health hazards of using tobacco in an effort to reducethe number of smokers worldwide."Our goal at Joint Base Charleston is to reduce tobacco use

by five percent," said Nikki Conley, 628th Medical GroupAerospace Medicine Squadron Health Promotion program man-ager. "Using tobacco drains nearly $2 billion of the Department

of Defense's $53 billion health care budget each year."Members of Health Promotion (formerly known as the

Health and Wellness Center) will be handing out awareness fly-ers Nov. 19. In addition, there will be two pledge booths, one atthe 628th MDG clinic and one at the JB Charleston Exchange."We want to help people take their first step to quit smok-

ing, if only for one day so they can see it is possible," saidConley. "In conjunction with the annual Smokeout, we offer avariety of different resources with our Smoking CessationPrograms – everything from counseling to medications."Today, there are many popular alternatives individuals use

to quit smoking including prescription medications, patchesand gums."If you are thinking about quitting tobacco with the assis-

tance of e-cigarettes, remember, e-cigarettes have not beenapproved by the Food and Drug Administration, nor is theresufficient data to determine what the long term side effectsmight be," said Gaye Adams, 628th MDG dental hygienistand chief of preventative dentistry.

Airmen and Air Force civilians also need to be aware of AirForce Instruction 40-102, Tobacco Use, which establishes thetobacco policy in the Air Force and explicitly includes e-cig-arettes under the definition of tobacco, which subjects theproduct to all restrictions implemented for cigarettes, cigarsand smokeless tobacco. The Air Force was the first service toestablish an e-cigarette policy, however the DOD has adoptedthe same policies in recent years."Tobacco use is really a mission-readiness issue," said Lt.

Col. John Oh, Air Force Medical Services Agencies chief ofhealth promotion. "It's associated with decreased productivity,increased absenteeism and decreased endurance. Not only istobacco use the number one cause of premature deaths inAmericans today, with more than 440,000 killed last yearalone, it is also the number one preventable cause of healthcare cost."For additional information on giving up tobacco, visit

www.ucanquit2.org or call Nikki Conley at the Air Base at 963-4087, or Claudia Dion at the Weapons Station at 794-6916.

Sailors stationed at Naval Nuclear Power Training Command volunteered their time at the15th Annual Stand Down for Homelessness Oct. 31, 2014, at the Danny Jones RecreationComplex in North Charleston S.C.The event offered medical and dental screenings and assistance, clothing, food and haircuts,

as well as job assistance and legal counseling for hundreds of homeless persons in the greaterCharleston area."Events like these really help raise awareness in the community while also giving us an

opportunity to help those in need," said Dr. Hugh Myrick, Associate Chief of Staff for MentalHealth and co-chair of the Stand Down Committee with the Department of Veterans Affairs."It brings attention to a cause that people may not even know exists in their own back yard."In addition to engaging NNPTC students with the local community, the event also served

as an opportunity for Sailors to partner with the community and give back to those who servedbefore them."It's so important to get involved because the majority of the people in need of help are vet-

erans who have fallen on hard times," said Petty Officer 1st Class Owen Fitzgerald, NNPTCstaff member and volunteer coordinator for the event. "Wherever the students are in the pro-gram [at NNPTC], volunteering at these events is a great way to spend their free time, whilealso helping their fellow service members.""We're all coming together; civilians and military, but we're all working for the same goal,"

said Petty Officer 3rd Class Jesse Lynch, student at NNPTC. "It's nice to see that barrier comedown, and to be part of it is even better."One position filled by NNPTC Sailors was the role of personal shopper. After determining

their specific needs, volunteers escorted homeless individuals to the various stations offeringfree goods and services. Some Sailors even got the chance to assist former service members."I got to speak with two homeless World War II veterans as they were checking in," said Lynch.

"It's incredible; the things they've seen and the stories they have are really indescribable.""It's a real honor to serve the people I looked up to growing up," said Seaman Luis Diaz,

NNPTC student. "Being able to help civilians and military members was a great experience.It's great to know you're making a difference in their lives.For more information about volunteering with the VA, contact your command Chaplain's

office or contact them directly by visiting their website at http://www.charleston.va.gov

Be careful before adding a friend or family member to your lease agreement. Although theServicemembers Civil Relief Act affords certain protections to military members and militarydependents, those protections do not extend to non-military members.Most are aware that a member who is deploying, PCSing (Permanent Change of Station),

separating, or retiring is permitted to terminate their residential or automobile lease if certain

requirements are met. For example, for residential leases, the member must enter the leaseprior to receiving orders, the orders must be for a period of not less than 90 days, and the land-lord must receive written notice along with a copy of the orders or a letter from the commanderwhen orders are not available. Active duty members may terminate their automobile lease if, after they entered the lease,

they received military orders for a change of permanent station from the continental UnitedStates to a location outside the continental United States or a PCS from an OCONUS state toany location outside of that state. Activated Reservists and National Guardsmen may termi-nate automobile leases, if the lease was entered into prior to being activated and the orders arefor at least 180 continuous days.When the proper procedural requirements are met, the military member and the member's

dependents are permitted to terminate the lease under SCRA. SCRA protections are notafforded to non-military members who are on the lease. Therefore, if you sign a lease with anon-military friend or family member who is not a dependent, that person will be bound by theterms of the lease which may include early termination fees as well as the monthly rent that isdue until the unit is rented to someone else. This article is not intended to replace seeking legal advice from an attorney. Legal assis-

tance is provided at the Air Base on Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m. (military in uniform) and 1p.m.to 3 p.m. (everyone). Legal Assistance is available at the Naval Weapons Station on awalk-in basis Mondays from 8 to 11 a.m. and on Fridays by appointment from 8 a.m. to noon.Please call 843-963-5502 for all inquiries and appointments.

By Lt. Col. Trinh Peterson Office of Airmen's Counsel

The Office of Airmen's Counsel is a division of theCommunity Legal Services Directorate under the Air ForceLegal Operations Agency.OAC attorneys enjoy an attorney-client privilege with their

clients and work to preserve their clients' interests, whetherit's a disability rating increase, a return to duty finding, or adisability separation or retirement that the wounded or illAirman so richly deserves.Within the OAC, there are nine lawyers (two of whom are

currently reservists) and four paralegals, to represent Airmenfrom the time they enter the Integrated Disability EvaluationSystem, also known as the MEB process, to when they meet

the Formal Physical Evaluation Board through their appeals,to the Secretary of the Air Force Personnel Council or theVeterans Administration.The OAC office represents Airmen worldwide, active-duty

and Reserve. This workload translates to more than 2,000clients and more than 700 hearings in 2013.But many prospective clients (Airmen) do not know OAC

exists since the OAC only has nine PEB attorneys servinghundreds of military treatment facilities. There just aren'tenough attorneys to station one at each MTF. And, althoughthere is no way of knowing how many Airmen have faced theMEB process without the benefit of legal counsel, Congressrecognized in 2008 even one Airman is too many.With innovative outreach activities, including an Armed

Forces Network commercial, news articles such as this one,

and posters throughout Air Force installations, the OAC ismaking a difference for Airmen who are not familiar with thisorganization.When an Airman is put into the IDES at the MTFs, they

need to understand they have the right to seek immediate legalassistance from the OAC. Outreach becomes very importantbecause without the OAC guiding Airmen, their rights andbenefits may be negatively affected due to the numerous filingdeadlines that run throughout the IDES.The bottom line is that if you are an Airman facing an

MEB, the OAC is there to assist you through the process. Thenuanced legal issues involved in the IDES require early andoften communication between the Airmen and the OAC.The OAC can be reached at (210) 565-0739.

SAPR Corner

Chapel Corner

By Chaplain (Col) Joel Harris

Since Veteran’s Day was this week, I spentlast weekend watching some of my favorite“War Flicks.” As I was watching, I couldn’thelp but think that it’s generally in life’s “fox-holes” that we find what material we are madeof and where we discover who God is. I oftenthink people get discouraged and lose faith,not because God doesn’t come through during

the crisis, but because we’ve predeterminedhow he must come through. So when the bullets start flying, we assume

that either we’ve done something wrong, or hedoesn’t care. If you’re in the foxhole and won-dering not only how but if the faith thing willwork, remember the words of Pastor WarrenWiersbe: “When God permits his children togo through the furnace, he keeps his eye on theclock and his hand on the thermostat.”
