Double Play!

By Holly QuickSpace and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic Public Affairs

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic partnered with theCollege of Charleston and Trident Technical College to get girls excitedabout Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics at a Girls DayOut Summer Camp July 25-26.More than 60 Charleston-area students participated in the two-day

event, which included a technology expo, interactive computer scienceand cybersecurity activities, business etiquette training, a tour of theCollege of Charleston campus and meetings with college admissions.The Honorable LaDoris Harris, U.S. Department of Energy, Director

of the Office of Economic Impact and Diversity, kicked off day two ofthe camp with her inspirational keynote speech."You are amazing," Harris said to the girls. "It's important for you to

know that as we take our journey - dreaming big makes it happen."Students said their favorite part of the event was the technology expo,

which included hands-on activities and science experiments with repre-sentatives from six colleges and nine local businesses. Students spent 8-10 minutes at each booth participating in interactive technology activi-ties over a two-hour period.While the girls participated in the expo, parents learned about admis-

sions requirements from colleges and universities and the importance oftaking the proper courses in middle school and high school to preparefor STEM majors in college."This event is a wonderful opportunity for the girls," said Barbara

Grigsby, high school teacher and grandmother of two stu-dents who participated in the camp. "I especially liked thecybersecurity activity because children today really don'trealize the impact that social networking has on theirfuture." Throughout the year, SSC Atlantic deploys volunteers

from its technical workforce to serve as role models, men-tors, content experts, competition judges and other rolesthat show students the value of a STEM career."We devote ourselves to increasing the interest in, and

participation of women and young ladies - and other under-represented groups - in STEM fields," said SSC AtlanticCommanding Officer Navy Capt. Amy Burin. "Our out-reach program engages students directly with STEM sub-jects through robotics tournaments, cybersecurity competi-tions, building remotely operated underwater vehicles in theSeaPerch program, learning through video games, mentor-ing in schools, judging science fairs and IT Shadow Days."

Charlie Glover, 628th Comptroller Squadron first baseman, completes a 6-3 (shortstop to first baseman) double play during the first round of the 2014 playoffs against the 628th ContractingSquadron July 29, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. The 628th CPTS team moved on to the second round of playoffs after defeating the 628th CONS team by a score of 15-1.

From 628th Security Forces Squadron

If you lock your keys inside your vehicle whileon Joint Base Charleston, it's going to take a littlelonger to get your vehicle unlocked and back on theroad. The 628th Security Forces Squadron will nolonger respond to vehicle lockout requests due tosafety, damage and liability concerns. The use of a lockpick (slimjim) tool used to open

vehicles often damages or detaches the lock rods,leaving the lock inoperable even with the key. Thisis often a clue someone has attempted to break intoa car. Newer cars have also incorporated internaldefenses against this tool such as barrier blocks onthe bottom of the window, preventing entry, and alsoshrouding the operating rods and the lock cylinder toprevent manipulation of internal linkages. Othermanufacturers have designed the operating rods tobe easily disconnected when engaged with a lateralforce - as is often created by the lifting action of thetool. Additionally, internal door electronics, wiresand air bag modules can be damaged.

While the National Transportation Safety Boardhas not verified injuries due to slimjims causingthe deployment of side airbags, there is potential todamage safety, lock and structural componentswithin the door when attempting to unlock a vehi-cle from the outside. In the event you require emergency assistance to

unlock your vehicle, such as a child trapped in thevehicle, the 628th SFS will respond. However, ifthe situation is not deemed an emergency, driverson the Air Base will have to contact the NorthCharleston Police Department dispatch at 743-7200, and drivers on the Weapons Station will needto contact the Goose Creek Police Department dis-patch at 572-4300. Ask for the Community Serviceofficer to assist or contact a local towing or lock-smith. The Base Defense Operations Center has alist of numbers for local towing companies andlocksmiths allowed on the installation. For more information concerning this change in

service, contact Capt. Jonathan Blount at 963-3641.

2014 Playoffsat Joint Base Charleston

By Col. David E. Blocker6th Aerospace Medicine Squadron commander

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – In today's military, everyservice member is a leader, and we all live in a "digital world." Lookaround any gathering of people; most of us are online with some form ofcomputer or electronic device the majority of time we are awake. Athome station or deployed, portable electronic devices and tablet comput-ers are "necessary" for reviewing military instructions, routine communi-cation, and documenting mission accomplishment. At work or home, weplay our favorite music, follow sports or breaking news, chat with others,watch the latest humorous video (or another computer based training),and answer the latest email in a constant stream of information and dis-traction, faster than we can process. And this is a family phenomenon -from adults to the youngest child, we're often "online" as we travel, dur-ing family meals, or relaxing at home. In fact, studies have shown thatmost modern American family members under the age of 30 spend morehome time each day looking at a computer, TV, or phone screen than theydo talking with one another.Like it or not, digital technology is here to stay, and navigating daily

life in our world is increasingly complex and integrated. Here's the chal-lenge; we are "analog" by design, designed to focus on one thing at atime, traveling in one direction in time and space, anticipating futureevents at the limited processing speed of a human brain. Multitaskingeffectively drops our IQ and requires more time and energy to completeany single task. Because analog "feels" more natural, most popular digitalinterfaces simulate analog devices and make things seem simple to theuser. No matter how digitally connected we are, we all still share the ana-log interface, and need to operate and relate within both realms.As a military commander, I am an analog leader fully immersed in the

digital world. I send and reply to dozens of emails and texts daily, and mywork phone is always on my person or by my side during meetings, dur-ing a run, even in bed. Every morning starts with a series of digital alarmsthroughout my house, and every time I pack for a trip, my cell phonecharger is as essential as my toothbrush. As a military commander, I amalso charged to maintain an appropriate culture of dignity, trust andrespect among people from diverse cultures, generations and world views.I am honored to lead from an analog perspective, communicating withsupervisors, coworkers, and subordinates using both analog and digitalmethods, successfully navigating through very complex military medicaltasks with highly educated and capable people every day.A quick check on your search engine of choice will find many interest-

ing discussions on this topic from military leaders and others. In 2012, for-mer Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Roy emphasized that analogskills such as face to face communication remain important even as weembrace technology and the innovations that are brought to our lives andour workplaces. General officers across two or more major commands havebriefed new commanders that we must recognize and take ownership ofsocial media; there is no such thing as separating our personal identities

from our military lives. Books like "Socialnomics" by Erik Qualman identi-fy new rules of engagement in our modern digital world and challenge us toadjust our perspectives in an increasingly global and online community. In this brief article, I want to share five concepts of analog leadership

that stand out the most to me in our increasingly digital world:1. Use digital media for information, not discussion. Analog leaders

understand that effective communication happens best face to face, andrequires feedback. "Sending" does not equal "receiving." Over 90% ofcommunication is non-verbal, happening with tone of voice and body lan-guage. While one way communication like texts or emails are fine forsharing general information or preparation for later discussion, topics thatare followed up in person get done more completely and correctly. Ifmore than three emails are needed, take the discussion offline; use thephone or meet face to face.2. What goes TDY stays online. Analog leaders understand that any

foolish or heroic moment can easily be captured and shared, becoming thenext social media sensation or national embarrassment, with UniformCode of Military Justice consequences for service members. I've neverliked the concept of "what goes TDY stays TDY;" the reality now is ifsomething happens while TDY or deployed, you can expect the folks athome to know by breakfast. 3. Stay positive with digital media. I believe that analog leaders know

to praise in public (including online), but correct in private (keep itoffline). Just because you can post it or email it, should you? Once anemail, text, or photo is online, you can't take it back! I like the test of the"3M's" - if you don't want to share this information with your mother,your minister, and the media, then don't post it or share it online! If youblog, post or email, don't complain in the digital forum. Make a consciouschoice to share positive information and images about yourself and oth-ers, and always remember Operational Security!4. Use the chain of command, even in the digital world. If you would-

n't blindside your supervisor with the information in a face to face meet-ing with their boss, don't send or publish outside of your chain of com-mand without their visibility and support. 5. Monitor and address issues in digital media quickly. Responsive

honesty and transparency from our military leaders and organizations areeven more important in a digital world, where information is shared andopinions are formed "real time." A quick honest answer in response to anonline question or embarrassment is preferable to a detailed report orapology days later. This requires awareness and access to popular socialmedia and digital interfaces in our communities. Digital rules of engage-ment exist for military organizations using social media; Public Affairsand the Judge Advocate General are available to assist. Remember that service members are always held to UCMJ standards,

in and out of uniform, including content posted or shared online. Yourdigital DNA will be traced to you, so live the core values and let them bereflected in your online interactions. I hope these insights provide food for thought as you navigate your

own path as an analog leader in our digital world.

THINK BEFORE YOU STRIKE.

JB CHS NEWS

By Chief Master Sgt. Mark Bronson628th Air Base Wing command chief

I recently returned from two weeks leavevisiting family and friends in upstate NewYork. It had been almost two years since I washome last. When I go home I always make it apoint to visit my parents' gravesite and talk tothem about what is new in my life. As Ilooked on their headstones and walked aroundvisiting other family members' graves, itbrought to mind the poem by Linda Ellis enti-tled "The Dash." If you've never read thepoem I challenge you to do so. While they engrave your dates of birth and

death onto your grave marker, what the poempoints out is what truly matters is the "dash"between those dates. What did you do withthe time you had however long or short it was? Did you have a positiveimpact on others? Did you utilize your talents to the best of your ability?Did you leave a legacy to be proud of?That got me thinking about how we also have a bunch of little "dashes" in

our lives. For example, if you have had more than one assignment inyour career, you have probably received departing gifts from yourcoworkers as you left your base. Many times they have the date youarrived in the unit and the date you departed separated by a dash. AsI looked around my office at gifts I received, sure enough there wasthat dash. It made me reflect on my time in those units. Had I madethe most of my "dash?" Did I have a positive impact on those Iinteracted with? What did people say about my work ethic? Didthey know I lived the Air Force core values and would not waiverfrom them? Did I take care of those entrusted under my leadership?I challenge you to read that poem and reflect on what you want

your "dash" to represent. What will the small "dashes" say aboutyou? Be the person that will be remembered. Be the person that oth-ers use to gauge great leadership, a hard work ethic, compassion forothers and genuine care for those you are entrusted to lead. Be theperson that lives the core values and will not waiver from those val-ues regardless of how hard that might be at times. The beauty iswhen you strive to make the small "dashes" count, they contribute to

making the most of your final "dash." I believe life is a marathon, not a sprint. Each of our marathons are differ-

ent lengths but we determine how we will run them. Ultimately, we deter-mine how we spend our "dash."

Chief Master Sgt. Mark Bronson

How will you spend your dash?

By Airman 1st Class Sean M. CroweJoint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Public Affairs

JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKE-HURST, N.J. – "Hey ma'am, can we have a feed-back session before you leave for your course?"Most of us would not ask their supervisors to

initiate feedback, but the new AirmanComprehensive Assessment promises superviseeinput and that promise is tempting enough to initi-ate feedback.Although it seemed a bit daunting at first to

learn how to use the new form, I was excited tosee how the Air Force is implementing change inthe enlisted feedback system to further developthe enlisted core into well-rounded, resilientAirmen.I will preface my experience with the new form

by saying I was not a fan of the previous feedbackform. The old feedback process would require meto prepare myself for what seemed like an hour-

long scolding session, even when my rater hadgood things to say. The situation just seemed toleave Airmen powerless of how their officialrecords would reflect on them.Immediate relief washed over me as we began

the feedback session and my voice in the matterwas half of the feedback. My supervisor was stillable to comment, criticize and write down stan-dards expected of me to uphold.She was able to get her messages and expecta-

tions across to me in a more relaxed, conversa-tional format, as opposed to the strict way the oldfeedback was performed. I definitely feel theback-and-forth conversation helped us find com-mon grounds and a better understanding for eachother's expectations, and others will undoubtedlynotice this aspect as well.We traversed the checklist including responsi-

bility, accountability and Air Force culture, wherewe each rated myself in the categories, beforemoving on to the components carried over from

the previous feedback form.My supervisor and I were thorough and honest

in the job performance, community involvementand self-improvement sections of the assessment,which are the areas most enlisted Airmen arealready familiar with. The section has phrasesnext to the ratings including most Airmen, someAirmen and few Airmen, to help you figure outwhere you would place yourself in comparison toyour peers. Hopefully, this new system encour-ages honesty and accountability in more Airmento eliminate the skewed "firewall five" ratingswhich were far too prevalent in the past.The experience with the new assessment was

great, minus a few hiccups understanding how itworks, and it allowed my supervisor and me abetter opportunity to set goals and measure per-formance in my job and personal life. Anyonewho transitions from the old feedback system tothis new one will notice the day-and-night differ-ence.

From Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – Air Force officialsannounced a series of sweeping changes tothe Enlisted Evaluation System and WeightedAirman Promotion System July 31.The changes are intended to ensure the Air

Force truly makes job performance the driv-ing factor and will be implemented incremen-tally beginning in August 2014 and continu-ing through early 2016. Additional informa-tion and in-depth articles will be made avail-able for each of the major program changes,prior to implementation, ensuring Airmen areknowledgeable of and ready for the changes.“What gets measured gets done,” said

Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James.“We want to make sure performance is the mostimportant thing in every aspect of an Airman’scareer, so the evaluation process is going tomeasure performance, and the promotion sys-tem is going to emphasize performance.”

Weighted Airman Promotion SystemTo do this, the Air Force plans to make sev-

eral modifications to the Weighted AirmanPromotion System. The current WAPS calcula-tion using the last five enlisted performancereports will be replaced by a model using amaximum of the last three EPRs, placingincreased emphasis on an Airman’s mostrecent duty performance. Overall EPR pointsfor WAPS will increase while time-in-gradeand time-in-service points will be reducedgradually over the next few years with the goalto remove them completely. Analysis at the endof each cycle will determine if there are anyunintended consequences from these changes. This same model will be applied to the first

phase of a new master sergeant promotionprocess scheduled for implementation nextyear. Airmen will complete their WAPS testingand have their test scores combined with theirother weighted factors, which include EPRs,decorations, time-in-grade and time-in-servicepoints -- until the latter two are eliminated overthe next few years. The top 60 percent ofAirmen, by WAPS score within each Air Forcespecialty code, will move forward to the sec-ond phase, where their records will meet anevaluation board similar to the boards currentlyin place for our senior NCO promotions.

Enlisted Evaluation SystemIn addition to WAPS changes, Airmen will

see new EPRs and new processes for com-pleting those reports. The AirmanComprehensive Assessment introduced inJuly built the foundation for these changes byproviding a tool and process to improve com-munication between supervisors and subordi-nates. Three new EPR forms, which closelyparallel the ACA, will be introduced for chiefmaster sergeants, senior NCOs and technicalsergeants and below. The latter two EPRforms will also include a section for promo-tion recommendations."The purpose of the enlisted evaluation

system is to accurately document duty per-formance so we can have honest perform-ance-based discussions with our Airmen,"said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. MarkWelsh III. "Unfortunately, over time the sys-tem has become inflated and a great majorityof Airmen have become a 'firewall five,'which makes it very difficult to differentiateour very best performers."Chief master sergeant evaluations will now

be accomplished on a unique EPR formintended to capture overall performance andprovide the opportunity to recommend chiefsfor future roles. The new form will also serveas the senior rater’s process to nominate chiefmaster sergeants for the Air Force’sCommand Chief Screening Board, replacingthe current nomination process. Initially, theChief EPR will be a test form and used onlyfor this year’s Command Chief screeningboard to be held in September, with fullimplementation in 2015.To complement the new forms, the Air

Force will also modify Enlisted EvaluationSystem policy. Static, or fixed, annual closeoutdates for each rank tied to active-duty promo-tion eligibility cut-off dates will be introducedfor all Airmen starting this November. The AirReserve Components will follow the same stat-ic cutoff dates as active-duty personnel but willimplement changes over the next 30 monthsdue to biennial reporting requirements. Thiswill eliminate the need for “change of report-ing official” evaluations which will be replacedby letters of evaluation. The static closeout dates also support new

forced distribution and senior rater stratifica-tion restrictions. For technical sergeants andbelow, forced distribution will limit the num-ber of top promotion recommendations a unitcommander is authorized to give to promo-tion eligible Airmen; those not eligible forpromotion will receive an assessment of per-formance without a promotion recommenda-tion. For senior NCOs, stratification restric-tions will limit the number of stratifications asenior rater may give to their master sergeantand senior master sergeant promotion eligiblepopulations. These changes will help curbinflation and ensure accurate assessments bycomparing, and ranking, an entire group ofAirmen, by grade, at a single point in time.New active-duty promotion eligibility cut-

off dates for promotions to master sergeant andtechnical sergeant along with changes to thetesting windows for those testing for promotionto master sergeant will occur this fall to supportthe new master sergeant promotion process andthe new forced distribution requirements.“This is the most comprehensive update to

enlisted evaluations and promotions in nearly45 years,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the AirForce James Cody. "Our enlisted leaders haveworked closely with the Air Staff and (majorcommand) commanders to design a systemthat truly recognizes and rewards Airmenbased firmly on their performance."

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas –Members of 24th Air Force are refurbishing an old email toolto help Air Force users reduce breaches of personally identifi-able information, or PII.The Digital Signature Enforcement Tool, or DSET, which

currently prompts users to provide a digital signature when anemail contains an active hyperlink or attachment, is beingreconfigured to scan emails and attachments for PII. DSET wasfirst introduced to Microsoft Outlook in 2009 by the Air ForceLife Cycle Management Center. "DSET was originally designed to mitigate risk from social-

ly-engineered email or phishing attacks. Now, it provides someprotection of messages transmitting PII," said Alonzo Pugh, acyberbusiness system analyst for 24th AF. "The tool providesawareness for users of risks before the email leaves the work-station, giving users the chance to correct the identified risk."PII includes items such as an individual's social security

number, driver's license information and financial information.Breaches occur when this information is inadvertently released.User awareness is one of the biggest issues associated with PIIbreaches, Pugh said."When users release PII that is not protected, that puts infor-

mation at risk for being intercepted by adversaries,” he said.“These adversaries can then use that information to target usersto gain access the network. Air Force network users must dotheir due diligence when sending an e-mail containing PII.They need to make sure the information is protected."DSET capability should encourage users to be more

involved in the process of preventing PII breaches, Pugh said."The user is afforded the ability to take action in checking theiremails to make sure they are not inadvertently releasing PII,and given the opportunity to protect it. DSET makes users moreaware that they need to double check their emails and ensurethat they are in accordance with policy; the responsibility forpreventing breaches ultimately falls on them."The tool itself is straightforward to use, Pugh said, and will

give users simple prompts to follow in sending emails. In addi-tion, there is a function allowing information which was falselyidentified as PII to still be sent. "While our software solution will support the Air Force's

efforts to reduce PII breaches, it is still important for personnelto be aware and vigilant with their handling of documents con-taining PII," said Col. Eric Oliver, the 24th Air Force directorof cyber systems. The tool's new usage is still in its initial stage, focusing on

social security numbers. Developers hope that DSET will ulti-mately be able to scan for a variety of PII to prevent futurebreaches. "It is imperative that we protect one another as we move

each Air Force mission forward," said Maj. Gen. J. KevinMcLaughlin, the 24th Air Force commander. "Avoiding therelease of PII is part of being a good wingman, but it is also partof protecting the network and accomplishing the Air Force mis-sion."

WASHINGTON – Up to 40 active-duty, Air Force Reserveand Air National Guard officers and enlisted members who meeteligibility requirements will be offered between one and threeyears of partially-paid time out of uniform to focus on personaland professional pursuits under the Career Intermission PilotProgram, or CIPP, Air Force officials announced July 30.In accordance with the 2009 National Defense

Authorization Act, each military branch is authorized to imple-ment CIPP, which authorizes selected members to take a sab-batical and seamlessly return to their active-duty or AirReserve Component role."This program offers a few high performing Airmen the

opportunity to focus on priorities outside of their militarycareer without having to choose between competing priori-ties," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III.Applications will be accepted from Aug. 15 to Oct. 15 and

a total force selection panel is scheduled to convene Nov. 12to select the Air Force’s first program participants. The active-duty, Guard and Reserve panel will consider active and reservecomponent applicants using common criteria.“This is a first for the total force,” said Secretary of the Air

Force Deborah Lee James. “We’ve been working together fora couple of years to develop common personnel practices andimplement tools used by each component, but this panel rep-resents our first opportunity to truly assess our Airmen – what-ever their component – as equal members of the total force.”The panel will select up to 20 officers and 20 enlisted mem-

bers for the inaugural pilot program.Implemented by the Navy in 2009 and more recently by the

Marine Corps, the program allows participants to retain fullmedical and dental benefits for themselves and their depend-ents, as well as exchange and commissary benefits.Participants also receive a stipend of 1/15th of their monthlybasic pay. In addition, members will be allowed an Air Force-funded permanent change of station move to anywhere in theU.S. when entering the program, and a move to their follow-on base of assignment when they complete the program.“The key to the intermission program is the Airman’s return to

duty,” said Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James A. Cody.“Top performers with a bright future won’t be lost to premature sep-aration, and upon return, those Airmen will bring greater experience,education, knowledge, commitment and passion to their career.”While participating in CIPP, members will be required to

maintain all Air Force standards, including health and fitness,and be ready to fully resume their duties.Participants won’t be able to compete for promotion while

in the program, and those selected for promotion who enterCIPP before their promotion date will have to wait until theycomplete CIPP to be promoted. Upon return to active duty,participants will have their date of rank adjusted to remaincompetitive with those of similar time-in-grade. Those who receive career field or skill level bonuses will not

receive those while in CIPP, and they won’t be eligible for tuitionassistance. They will, however, be able to use any veteran’s ben-efits they have accrued – like their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits –and they will also be able to retain up to 60 days of earned leave.While all eligible Airmen – regardless of rank or career field – are

welcome to apply, some Airmen are not eligible. Those who cannotcomplete the associated service commitment prior to reaching highyear tenure or mandatory retirement/separation for age and years ofservice cannot be considered for CIPP. Airmen who are currentlyreceiving a critical skills retention or fulfilling the associated servicecommitment for that bonus are ineligible for participation. Detailed application procedures, points-of-contact, and eligibil-

ity requirements will be outlined in the Air Force Personnel CenterCareer Intermission Pilot Program Personnel Services DeliveryMemorandum and will be provided to Airmen in the coming days.

From American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – Defense Department and Coast Guardcivilian employees are now able to take advantage of the TSAPre-check expedited screening program at more than 115 air-ports across the country."We've worked closely with TSA over the past few months to

expand the Pre-check program to include the department's800,000 civilian employees," said Mary Snavely-Dixon, directorof the Defense Manpower Data Center. "Our civilian employeesplay vital roles in our nation's defense each and every day.Expanding TSA's program to include them is great news."All military and Coast Guard personnel, including those in

the reserves and the National Guard, already are eligible forthe program, which began in March 2012.A secure and reliable data-sharing agreement between the

Defense Department and TSA provides verification of eligibil-ity, officials said. Participating members can keep their shoesor boots, light outerwear and their belts on during preflightscreening, and can keep their laptop computer in its case. Theyalso may have a 3-1-1 compliant liquids and gels bag in acarry-on bag in select screening lanes.To participate in TSA Pre-check, military personnel and

DOD and Coast Guard civilian employees must provide theirDOD Identification number – the 10-digit number on the backof their common access card – when making travel reserva-tions. This can be done through the Defense Travel System,through a travel management center, or when booking leisuretravel through airline or travel websites. The DOD ID numberis to be used in place of the “Known Traveler Number.”It’s important to note, officials said, that DOD and Coast

Guard civilian employees first must “opt in” to the TSA Pre-check program by visiting the “milConnect” website athttps://www.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect. After selecting the“My Profile” menu tab after logging into the website, userswill be guided through the opt-in process. Civilian employeesneed to opt in only once, officials said. Military membersalready are eligible and do not need to opt in, they added.Another major change to the TSA Pre-check program is the

phase-out of service members having their common access cardsscanned at 10 domestic airports. With the transition to using theDOD ID number in making airline reservations, officials said,scanning of ID cards is no longer required and will be eliminatedsoon. Those who have been used to scanning their CACs shouldbegin following the new process now to have uninterrupted par-ticipation in the TSA Pre-check program, officials added.TSA always will incorporate random and unpredictable

security measures throughout airports, officials said, and noone is guaranteed expedited screening.

It's not uncommon to see scores of cadetsin military attire milling about the campus ofThe Citadel in Charleston, but if you had vis-ited the college from July 10-13, you wouldhave noticed an influx of young service mem-bers wearing Air Force uniforms. That'sbecause the 315th Airlift Wing hosted a groupof nearly 50 up-and-coming junior officers atthe state-run institution for the Air ForceReserve Command's Junior OfficerLeadership Development course."JOLD is the first step in a series of profes-

sional development courses that the com-mand offers to young Reserve officers look-ing to progress in their career," said MickeyMcGalliard, Professional DevelopmentCenter at headquarters AFRC junior officerprogram manager. "We like to think of it asyour English 101. The skills learned in thiscourse are built upon in subsequent courses,culminating with the International JuniorOfficer Leadership Development Course,which takes place in different countries eachyear."And it was at one of these IJOLD courses

that inspired Maj. Kimberley Champagne,315th AW performance planner and organizerof Charleston's JOLD, to one day bring the

development course to the Lowcountry."I said to myself in July 2011, after partic-

ipating in an IJOLD held at The Hague in theNetherlands, that if I was ever lucky enoughto be stationed at Joint Base Charleston, Iwould request to sponsor a JOLD at TheCitadel," Champagne said. "So, in planningthis event, I literally have been living adream."The participants in the course were mostly

lieutenants and captains and they wererequired to compete for slots through theReserve School Selection Board. Accordingto McGalliard, around 60 individuals usuallyapply for each of the four yearly iterations ofJOLD but only 35 are selected. This year, dueto budget restrictions in 2013, the classeswere a little larger because students who hadbeen previously selected were rolled into the2014 courses.The JOLD classes focused on leadership

development, fostering effective communi-cation, force management and development,and career progression among other topics.Students were given a briefing on the 315thAW mission by wing commander Col. ScottSauter, heard comments from Rear Adm. EricYoung, Deputy Chief for the Navy Reserve,and learned about proper social media prac-tices from Col. Robert Palmer, HeadquartersAir Force Reserve Command Director of

Public Affairs. The young officers also had the opportu-

nity to practice their newfound skills andhave a bit of fun during a team buildingexercise. The group split into three teamsand learned to collaboratively row longdragon boats around the Charleston harborand even engaged in some friendly competi-tion, racing the boats three times back andforth across the water.One main purpose of the JOLD course is

to foster networking among Reserve officersat the beginning of their careers. Accordingto McGalliard, the program has unwaveringsupport from senior AFRC leaders for thisreason. This is evidenced by the participa-tion of two general officers in this weekend'sclasses and events. Maj. Gen. JamesStewart, Reserve Forces Policy Board,Office of the Secretary of Defense, militaryexecutive officer, and Brig. Gen. KimberlyCrider, Information Dominance and ChiefInformation Officer, Office of the Secretaryof the Air Force mobilization assistant to thechief, both served as mentors to the students.The generals answered questions, gaveadvice to the course participants and briefedthem on current challenges in the changingAir Force Reserve environ-ment. They also took to the

boats and rowed alongside the young offi-cers during the races."This is such a great opportunity to give

back to the command," Stewart said. "It'simportant for us to get out and circulateamong these junior officers, be approachableto them and allow them to ask us questionsand provide them with some helpful guid-ance. It's all very rewarding." And the mentees echoed his sentiment.

"This program is highly competitive, but soinformative," said Capt. Elenah Kelly, PopeArmy Airfield, N.C., Sexual AssaultPrevention Response victim advocate. "It'sbeen invaluable to hear from the upper lead-ership and learn what it takes to become agreat commander in the future."Champagne endeavored to foster an envi-

ronment of inspiration and learning whereReserve junior officers could meet eachother, build relationships and grow togetherin their careers."This was really a meant-to-be," said

Champagne. "I had such a great team behindme during this planning process and somany people rallied around this becausethey saw the true value in it."

According to a Greek legend, in ancientAthens a man noticed the great storyteller Aesopplaying childish games with some little boys. Helaughed and jeered at Aesop, asking him why hewasted his time in such frivolous activity.Aesop responded by picking up a bow,

loosening its string, and placing it on theground. Then he said to the critical Athenian,"Now, answer the riddle, if you can. Tell us

what the unstrung bow implies."The man looked at it for several moments

but had no idea what point Aesop was tryingto make. Aesop explained, "If you keep a bowalways bent, it will break eventually; but ifyou let it go slack, it will be better fit for usewhen you want it." That said, we all need timeto "go slack" so we can be the best instrumentfor Joint Base Charleston. "Take rest; a field that has rested gives a

When someone you care about has been sexually assaulted, it can be difficult to know whatto say or do. You may experience any number of feelings, including fear, anger, sadness, anx-iety or disbelief. However, there are many ways you can help. The most important thing that you can do from the beginning is to believe the victim. One

of the most significant factors in a survivor’s recovery is how those around them respond totheir disclosure. By understanding the impact sexual assault can have on your loved one andbeing supportive, you can play an important role in their healing process.

Naval Health Clinic Charleston Petty Officer 2nd Class Anthony Houston, places non-per-ishable food items recently donated by NHCC staff members in a food collection barrel inthe NHCC atrium at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. NHCC is participating in the "Feds FeedFamilies" campaign to collect food and help combat hunger in our local communities.NHCC has one of several food collection barrels placed at commands around the WeaponsStation. Last year the Weapons Station collected more than 3,240 pounds of food. Thisyear’s goal is to increase that amount by 10 percent. While food banks typically see largeamounts of food on their shelves over the winter months, donations typically trail off afterthe holidays are over. Personnel wishing to donate have until the end of August to placenon-perishable food items in the designated box in the atrium. Monetary donations may bemade through the Religious Offerings Fund at the Weapons Station chapel. Each dollar isthe equivalent to five pounds of food.

Air Reserve Personnel Center Public Affairs

BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. –Most Americans are born with a political rat-tle in their hands, and learn to shake it early.While U.S. culture promotes opinions anddebate, the Department of Defense, U.S. AirForce and Air Reserve Personnel Center wishto remind Airmen that, while on active duty -and even for reservists who may be perceivedas active military representatives, participat-ing in politics on social media is exactly thesame as it is in-person: strictly prohibited.According to a list of DoD and Air Force

Instructions longer than the average Airman'sarm, which includes the 2014-2015 VotingAssistance Guide, DoDI 1000.04, FederalVoting Assistance Program And Directive-Type Memorandum, 10-021, Guidance InImplementing Installation Voter AssistanceOffices, DoDD 1344.13, Implementation ofThe National Voter Registration Act, and U.SOffice of Special Counsel, Frequently AskedQuestions Regarding Social Media and theHatch Act, dated April 4, 2012, participatingin politics is prohibited for members of theDoD and Department of Homeland Securitywhen that participation can be interpreted asan official endorsement.For active duty Airmen, that's any

Facebook share, Twitter retweet or otherrepost of material from a political party, parti-san candidate or campaign profile to friends,

or even to post on those sites in a way thatwould constitute political activity. Nor canAirmen suggest their friends "like" thosesites.It's exactly like in-person partisan political

activity - no stumping or selling a particularcandidate, party or campaign.However, it doesn't mean an Airman can't

offer an opinion.As in the past, when Airmen could write

letters to the editor regarding particularissues, Airmen may still post their opinions ontheir own pages and that of non-partisan sitesand organizations. However, as with thenewspapers, if the writer is identified as anAirman or other representative of the U.S.armed forces (which, if you didn't know,active duty members are considered just that,by default), then it must be clear that theAirman's opinion is a personal one, and doesnot reflect the official stance of any govern-ment agency.For members not on active duty, such as

reservists and guardsmen, political activity ispermitted on social media so long as their par-ticipation in no way implies official endorse-ment or condemnation of any particular parti-san political entity.If an Airman has any doubt as to what is or

is not permitted, he or she could contact theirunit judge advocate or their Federal VotingOfficer to ensure any participation is legal.For more information, visit www.fvap.org.

Social media requires care,caution with political material
