Maj. Gen. Frederick Martin, U.S. Air ForceExpeditionary Center commander, conducted atwo-day visit of Joint Base Charleston Sept. 16and 17, touring the base, as well as concludinghis visit by hosting an All Call in the JBCharleston - Air Base Theater.

The commander's visit included tours of theAirman and Family readiness center, the 628thCivil Engineer Squadron and Joint Base missionpartners including the 841st TransportationBattalion, Army Strategic Logistics Activity-Charleston, Naval Consolidated Brig Charlestonand Navy training units.

During his stay, Martin held an All Call withpersonnel from the 628th Air Base Wing andgave insight into his leadership style, values andobservations of JB Charleston.

"When I took command I explained that I hadtwo points that I wanted to make," said Martin."First, is my thankfulness; I'm thankful for theopportunity for Chief Stone and I to be here inthis great Air Force with people such as yourself,to be in this position and serve all of you."

The general continued, "Second, is partner-ships, and I share an African proverb, 'If youwant to go fast, go alone – if you want to go far,go together.'"

He explained the importance of teamworkand partnership building. "If you want go far,build capacity and sustain it, so that when youare gone that it will continue, then you better gotogether."

Martin also commented on the link between themilitary and off-base community at Charleston.

"There's no stronger community support to thiswing, and that's because of the great Airmen wehave, and the veterans that we have, and the familieswe have – you all get involved in your communities."

The commander took on a more personaltone, when he explained to the audience thatfaith, family and friends have shaped who he is,how he leads and the decisions he makes.

"Why do I value faith? It defines my charac-ter, beliefs and values. It's yours to determine,but as humans I believe it's a part of us."

He added, "You may not have a spouse, butwe all have a family. We come into the servicefrom a family and we will leave the service toreturn to our families and those are enduring val-ues. Keep those bonds strong with those whoknow you best."

During the All Call, the commander tossed afootball into the audience, asking each memberwhere they were from, what they do and whythey joined the Air Force. He used the opportu-nity to remind Airmen of the benefits of service.

"Hopefully you can say 'I am doing some-thing important for our military'," said Martin."You can go home and say I am doing somethingfor my country, getting an education, learning ajob, I'm growing and developing, I'm respectedand respecting of others."

Before concluding, Martin offered histhoughts on the importance of JB Charleston.

"Charleston is one of the most important jointbases, take great pride in the fact that you are apart of a significant capability of the United States

military," said Martin. "Whether its sea, rail or air,it happens at Charleston, South Carolina."

Joint Base Charleston, S.C.

By Senior Airman Ashlee GallowayJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

There is a predator looming over the United States ArmedForces, stealing lives of honorable servicemembers every year.

It is not concerned if you have a family at home, whetheryou're male or female - if you just started your career or justfinishing it.

"Suicide is a massive problem that is affecting the total forceof the military," said Maj. Daniel Michel, 628th Mental HealthFlight Commander clinical psychologist. "We don't need tofocus on just getting our total force through a training program;we need to change the Air Force and military culture on howpeople view suicide. Make them see and feel comfortable aboutdiscussing the topic so co-workers know when things aren'tright; that is the essential factor in eliminating this."

In 2012, there were 98 suicides in the Air Force, includingactive duty, pending active duty, Air National Guard, Reserveand civilian work force, there have been 63 in 2013.

"It's a factor that not only affects the individual but itaffects families, friends and co-workers as well," said Michel."I believe people just don't know the correct avenues to getaway from this problem, they feel suicide is their only wayout, and it's not."

There are many avenues throughout the military that can helpassist service members and their families, avenues that can helpsomeone mentally, physically, spiritually or even socially. Butpeople have to take that step, that leap of faith and go.

"There are a lot of people and hotlines you can contact

regarding suicide prevention," said Michel. "You can contactus here at mental health, the Behavioral Help OptimizationProgram, the National Suicide Prevention lifeline via phoneor text, and www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org for an onlineweb chat."

If you feel as though your problems pertain to more physicalfeatures and are down about your weight, or "don't believe youare fit for fight" then you can talk to the Health and WellnessCenter or base fitness center. The HAWC and fitness center canoffer advice to help Airmen reach their fitness goals.

"We offer a wide variety of programs at the HAWC," saidNikki Conley, Health Promotion manager. "We have relax-ation and sleep deprivation classes, DVDs and books on med-itation and yoga, nutrition and weight management classesthat focus on behavior and how to change your daily habitsand even classes that help you pass your physical fitness testwith the aim of working on strength training and running."

Help does not end there.If you feel spiritually depressed, there are chaplains on base

who can speak with you and offer full confidentiality. "Chaplains are the '911' of the military when it comes to sui-

cide counseling," said Maj. Daniel Thompson, 628 Air BaseWing chaplain. "One of our key assets that differs from otherorganizations is we have 100 percent privilege communicationwhen someone comes to us about suicide ideation. We as chap-lains have absolute protection for service members, therefore,offer unbridled support."

Moving to different bases constantly can take a toll on serv-ice members and their families mentally and socially. If you

are having trouble meeting new people or making newfriends, then the Single Airmen Initiative or Navy LibertyProgram are great places to start.

"Our goal with SAI is to foster a strong culture missionand sense of community for single Airmen," said Eryn Pope."The program focus on the single Airmen, but this programis open to everyone. Anyone can sign up for any activitiesand events we may have. By providing events whereAirmen can interact with one another and leadership, wehope to make a better quality of life for each individual andmake them better in life."

Whether you fall under the mental, physical, spiritual orsocial pillar of CAF, there is help out there for you, somethingfor everyone to take part in that will help them find them-selves and show them their purpose here on this earth.

Ask for or find help, you are not alone.

Airmen Against Drunk Driving: Wingmen Saving Lives

DUI CONDITION:YELLOW

Commentary by Chief Master Sgt. Thomas Stiles60th Dental Squadron

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Youcan find leadership lessons in the strangest places.

Some people search high and low, far andwide for mentors and wise sages with the hope offinding leadership enlightenment, the momentwhen everything in your supervision tool boxfinds a purpose.

For me, that moment didn't happen during aweeklong seminar, conference or executive bootcamp. It happened moments before a mandatorysafety briefing during a video montage used tooccupy the crowd before the briefing starts. It wasa simple YouTube clip and I almost missed it.

Like many people in the auditorium, I wasengaged in pre-weekend conversation and wasn'tpaying any attention to the screen. The event emceewas still making script changes and hadn't given the"turn off cell phones and pagers" warning.

I stopped talking and found myself turned tothe screen. The clip played, I listened and Ilearned. I looked around the auditorium with thesame excitement I feel watching great football,"Did you just see that?" I had found somethingthat tied my leadership expectations in a nice andneat, three-minute package. The video clip istitled "Up Time America" by the late KimberlyAlyn, a motivational speaker, and inspired thiscommentary.

I was taught since basic training that you have

the responsibility to take care of everyone whohas fewer stripes than you. This is the basis ofservant leadership.

Once we allow our own credibility to waverand our integrity to buckle to protect ourselves atthe expense of our subordinates, the entire team isweakened.

As leaders, we must be the voice. We must bethe shield. We must strive to improve. This does-n't mean everyone gets a trophy. We also mustdeliberately deliver the hammer when needed.Our teammates deserve candor and transparency.

Accountability, credibility, resiliency andresponsibility are the pillars of great leadership.However, I would say humility is the one trait thatsupports the trust bridge. The main goal of anysupervisor should be to prepare, provide and pre-vent. Prepare them for the wartime mission byproviding all the tangible and intangible thingsthey need to accomplish the mission while pre-venting them from making the same mistakes youmade. We must share our failures and successesfor the greatest impact.

Respect those who have traveled the roadbefore you and those who are walking behindyou. So often, we are too quick to dismiss veter-ans' ideas as experiences built in a different AirForce then turn around and dismiss a juniorAirman's idea because they lack experience. Wecan't have it both ways. A true conscientiousleader values the input of all.

The easiest things to fix seem to be the things

we hold off on completing and then complain thatthe issue has given birth to more issues. No prob-lem is too small for your position regardless ofyour pay grade. However, as a leader, you willnever know problems exist until they are too largeif your people don't feel comfortable coming toyou. I have watched plenty of stubborn, inflexi-ble, one-trick ponies fail because they thoughtthey had "arrived."

One of the greatest lessons I learned from adentist was the only thing more contagious thanenthusiasm is lack of it. If you don't love whatyou do, your people will see it. You can't be thefat gym teacher and tell your students to run whileyou live on a steady diet of Krispy Kremes. Youractions tell the tale. How you deliver your mes-sage is equally important. If you want your co-workers to display professionalism, teamwork andcompassion, show them what it looks like.

We are an all-volunteer force and we knowwhat we signed up to do. We signed up to be anactive player in the greatest Air Force, represent-ing the greatest country in the world. Fulfill yourobligations to the best of your ability. Your team-mates are counting on you. Don't spend too muchtime contemplating the obstacles. The ride won'tlast forever so make the best of it.

So there you have it, a short lesson on leader-ship. You can find knowledge in the strangestplaces. I have never met Kimberly Alyn, but Iimagine she is someone who would make anappointment at the dental clinic and show up.

Leadership about everyone moving 'up' together

Diamond Tip: Healthy relationshipsBy Master Sgt. Rodney Lawless437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron assistantfirst sergeant

Human beings are, at one level or another,very much social creatures by nature. We needto interact with one another.

Lack of communication is the root cause ofmany of our conflicts. Communication involveslistening and giving feedback on the messagereceived.

As technology advances, it becomes easier to

stay in touch via social networks, but these net-works make it easier to avoid real person-to-person, face-to-face interaction.

Social networks give many more peopleaccess to conversations they otherwise wouldnot have. This can cause social nightmares andthe next thing you know, people who don't evenknow each other are fighting and arguing overnonsense.

Interacting via social networks alone can leadto poor coping skills. Many of us simply don'tknow how to handle the stresses that come with

"real life" relationships. What would our individual lives be like if we

actually took the time to get to know eachother? It is easy to talk about ourselves, butmuch more difficult to humble ourselves andinquire about other people.

All I am suggesting is that we put a higherpriority on spending time with our families, co-workers and friends and ensure our relation-ships are healthy and strong by improving andincreasing our communication skills.

Commentary by Lt. Gen. Darren McDewCommander, 18th Air Force

As the son of a Master Sergeant I developed alove for our Air Force early on. In the yearssince then, that love has been validated byworking with – and for – the amazing men andwomen who are the backbone of the world’sfinest air and space force.

Today, as every day, I am proud to be anAmerican Airman.

As someone who has lived all but a handfulof years of our Air Force’s history, I have a deepand abiding love for our service … and especially the Airmen who made it(and continue to make it) the finest in the world. It should come as no sur-prise when I think of our service, I think of the amazing men and womenwho have crossed my path over the years.

General Colin Powell once said “If you are going to achieve excellence inbig things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not anexception, it is a prevailing attitude.” He was obviously an Airman at heart.Excellence is more than just a core value ... it is part of our Air Force’s veryDNA. In fact, you can trace our commitment to excellence all the way backto the bold Airmen pioneers of our past … the great leaders whose contribu-tions to our Nation, whose battle-hardened experience and values we cele-brate today and pass on to the future.

Not long ago, Col. Earl Young, the first commander of 18th Air Force,

celebrated his 100th birthday doing what he loved: flying. However, I wouldremind you that excellence is agnostic of specialty. It doesn’t matter if youare a pilot, a security forces guardian, or a supply Airman. What DOES mat-ter is a daily commitment to being the best. We owe that to ourselves, theAmerican people, and to our heritage.

Col. Young once said, “We’ve seen a lot of changes in air mobility, but Ican tell you … that the things that have never changed have been our leadersand our Airmen. We’ve always had the best.”

I wholeheartedly agree!As we celebrate our Air Force’s birthday this month, and the 10th

anniversary of the 18th Air Force’s reactivation on October 1st, I hope youwill take the time to look back at our proud heritage and the legacy of excel-lence we’ve inherited. At the same time, I charge you to focus on the legacywe leave to those who will follow us.

We have the privilege and the great responsibility of forging tomorrow’sAir Force – so I challenge you to get it right! Pass on our values, share whatyou have learned, and work to create a better Air Force. There is no moreimportant job for an Airman, especially when you consider our service is aproud and essential member of the world’s finest joint team: no one else cando what we do.

By any objective standard, we have the finest Air Force in our history …and the finest in the world. We owe it to the Airmen of yesterday and tomor-row to sustain it … so when we celebrate our service’s birthday, rememberthat what we are really celebrating are people.

And that is why, today, as every day, I am proud to be an AmericanAirman.

I hope you are too.

Lt. Gen. Darren McDewCommander, 18th Air Force

As the sun rose above Long Beach, Calif.,the last U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III,P-223, rolled off the Boeing assembly onto theflight line where it was prepared for its inaugu-ral flight to Joint Base Charleston, S.C.

A ceremony was held on stage with the P-223 in the backdrop for all to see, while AirForce leaders thanked the Boeing employees,who worked on the U.S. Air Force C-17's forthe past 20 years, for all their hard work.

Even though this is the last C-17 to bedelivered to the Air Force, we know that theBoeing employees will stand behind us andall 222 C-17s we operate for many years to

come, said Gen. Paul Selva, Air MobilityCommand commander.

The keys to the bird were handed over toSelva and the aircrew boarded the aircraft tobegin their journey to JB Charleston.

As the C-17 took off and Lt. Gen. JamesJackson, Air Force Reserve Command com-mander, performed a fly-over Boeing,employees could be seen waving AmericanFlags in the air cheering the Air Force on.

"I had never flown a C-17 before, but aftergoing through the simulators and gettinghands on instructions from experienced C-17pilots I felt confident taking off and flying theGlobemaster high into the sky," said Jackson.

Jackson is a former F-4 Phantom and F-16Falcon fighter pilot as well as a KC-135

Stratotanker pilot.The crew on board the C-17 was hand-

picked and included a General officer, pilot,loadmaster and crew chief from active-duty,reserve and guard components.

"It is truly an honor to be a part of the mis-sion today," said Tech. Sgt. Paul Garner, AirNational Guard 155th Airlift Squadron load-master out of Memphis, Tenn. "I'm happy Ican represent the Air National Guard as aloadmaster on this historical flight."

After taking off and flying for more thanan hour, Jackson handed the controls over toSelva who flew the C-17 alongside Lt. Col.Scott Torrico, Air Force Reserve, 701st AirliftSquadron out of JB Charleston, S.C.

"There is nothing this aircraft cannot do,"said Selva. "If we need to transport vehicles,cargo, personnel or even perform anaeromedical evacuation, the C-17 and itscrew are highly capable of doing any one ofthese missions."

While the generals took care of the pilotingof the aircraft, crew members to include load-master and crew chiefs took care of all theflight duties in the rear of the aircraft as wellas sharing stories of their time with the C-17and how much it meant to be on the flight.

This is something I will definitely betelling my grandchildren someday," said Staff

Sgt. James Regan, 437th MaintenanceSquadron crew chief. "My wife Samanthaand my four-year-old son Taylor will be onthe ground at JB Charleston to greet me whenI land."

After Regan turned the controls of the C-17 over to Lt. Gen. Stanley Clarke, AirNational Guard director, Selva handed himthe keys to P-223.

"Words can't describe how I felt beinghanded the keys to the last C-17," said Regan."Speechless, really."

As the aircraft approached JB Charleston,Clarke performed a fly-over for the crowd ofmilitary, community members and their fam-ilies all eager to see the final U.S. Air ForceC-17.

"This was my first time flying the C-17, soI made sure to make the landing as perfect aspossible," said Clarke.

"It's is a little bigger than the fighters I amused to," he jokingly said.

P-223 landed and was parked right in frontof the crowd of people waiting to greet theaircrew and celebrate 20 years of history inthe making.

"While this may be the last U.S. Air ForceC-17 delivery, this bird has many more flightsin its future," said Jackson.

From Commander, Navy Installations Command ReadyNavy Program

WASHINGTON – To be recognized as StormReady orTsunamiReady, communities must meet certain guidelinesestablished by the National Weather Service in partnershipwith federal, state, and local emergency management officials.While the emergency management teams at every Navyinstallation have emergency plans and protocol in place, thosethat have earned the official StormReady and TsunamiReadydesignation have gone one step further in their efforts to savelives and property in the face of natural disasters.

"The safety and emergency preparedness of Navy person-nel and families is a high priority for us," says Margie Lutz,Commander, Navy Installations Command EmergencyManagement Program Manager. "In partnering with theNational Weather Service and receiving the StormReady andTsunamiReady designation, we continue to strengthen ourhazardous weather plans, monitorization and notification sys-tems, and training and public awareness programs for a glob-al Ready Navy community."

She cautions that the "buck doesn't stop there." Accordingto Lutz, with an average of 100,000 thunderstorms (10,000 ofwhich are severe), 5,000 floods, 1,000 tornadoes, and an aver-age of two potential deadly hurricanes making landfall, win-ter storms, etc., each and every member of the Navy commu-nity has a part to play in storm readiness. The Navy's emer-gency preparedness program, Ready Navy, provides informa-tion and tools to guide individuals to prepare themselves andtheir families before, during, and after a disaster.

Take time during September's National PreparednessMonth to prepare and familiarize yourself with the ReadyNavy website, and ask your emergency manager if your

installation is StormReady.The following list of installations have earned StormReady

and, where indicated, TsunamiReady designations: * Joint Base Charleston* Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (also TsunamiReady)* Naval Air Station Corpus Christi* Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base* Naval Air Station Key West* Naval Air Station Kingsville* Naval Air Station Lemoore* Naval Air Station Meridian* Naval Air Station Whiting Field (renewed)* Naval Station Mayport (also TsunamiReady)* Naval Weapons Station Earle NJFor more information on how to prepare for any disaster,

It's National Preparedness Month

By Senior Airman Dennis SloanJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Joint Base Charleston - Air Base officially welcomedits new Sexual Assault Response and Prevention coordinatoron Aug. 26, 2013.

Florine King, JB Charleston - Air Base SARC, came toCharleston from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas,where she was the installation SARC for morethan two years.

"I'm very excited to be here and to helpimprove an already great program," said King.

King has a master's degree in HumanServices with an emphasis on Social Work andCommunity Service, as well as a long historyof service with the military.

"I love the military, having served andretired from the U. S. Army," said King."After retiring, I began working with specialneeds families in the Exceptional FamilyMember Program."

Eventually, King learned of the SexualAssault Prevention Program while stationed atFort Erwin Army Base, Calif., and signed upto be a Victim Advocate.

"I started out slow and worked as a VA, butbefore I knew it, I was spending the majorityof my time involved with the program," saidKing. "I quickly learned that helping victims of sexual assaultwas my calling."

King has been spending most of her first month here get-ting to know base leadership and her VAs.

"My long-term goal here is to establish a model SAPR pro-gram that the entire DOD can learn from," said King. "Myshort term goal is to educate the base populace on sexualassault preventative measures, as well as what happens to vic-tims when they are sexually assaulted. Sexual assault is a life-

altering event and people need to understand the overallimpact on not just the servicemember, but on the unit as wellas family and friends."

Joint Base Charleston has two SARCs. King is the SARCfor the Air Base, and Tiffany Mizzell is the JB Charleston -Weapons Station SARC, taking care of Sailors.

"I really look forward to working with Mrs. King on build-ing an even stronger culture ofsexual assault awareness here atJB Charleston," said Mizzell."Our VAs play a huge role inmaking these programs success-ful and I know both the AirForce and Navy programs arealways looking for more volun-teers."

Victim Advocates serve onthe frontline in Sexual AssaultResponse. These dedicated vol-unteers have in-depth trainingand knowledge on how to assistan individual requiring assis-tance after an assault.

"VAs are how we get theword out about sexual assaultprevention and they play a hugerole in getting victims of sexualassault the proper services need-

ed to recover," said King. "We are looking for individualswith a passion for helping others. Being a VA is not for thefaint of heart."

Victims of sexual assault who want to initiate an officialinvestigation should use current reporting channels such asthe Air Force Office of Special Investigations, their chain ofcommand, law enforcement, the SARC or the on-call volun-teer Victim Advocate.

A long-awaited milestone was reached at Joint BaseCharleston September 12, 2013, as the last U.S. Air ForceC-17 Globemaster III, arrived home where C-17 operationsfirst began.

The arrival of the last U.S. Air Force C-17, P-223, repre-sented a landmark day and offered a moment for reflection onmore than 20 years of successful global airlift, whenever andwherever duty calls.

The first C-17, The Spirit of Charleston, landed atCharleston Air Force Base June 14, 1993, and was piloted byGen. Merrill McPeak, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force at thetime.

P-223 was piloted by Gen. Paul Selva, Air MobilityCommand commander, Lt. Gen. James Jackson, Air ForceReserve Command commander, and Lt. Gen. Stanley ClarkeIII, Director of the Air National Guard.

Col. Jeffrey DeVore, Joint Base Charleston commander,began the ceremony by marking this day in history as one that"highlights the heritage of the men, women and industry part-ners who contributed to the significant milestones over the last20 years."

This legacy has enabled Joint Base Charleston to become a"worldwide leader continuing to move people, vehicles, muni-tions and supplies in support of global reach aircraft capabili-ty worldwide."

The delivery ceremony celebrated not only the closing ofthis chapter of Air Force history but also the hard work andinnovation of the original cadre and all of the Airmen sincethen who helped make this day possible.

"There's nothing we won't do with this airplane. It is a tributeto the men and women who built it, a tribute to the men andwomen who had the vision to field it. Men like Tom Mikolajcik,Bud Engersoll, Steve Roser and a whole variety of others ... whosaid ‘not only are we going to build it, but we are going to useit for everything it was designed to do,’" said Selva.

Since its inception, the C-17 Globemaster III is capable ofrapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to mainoperating bases or directly to forward bases in remote loca-tions. The C-17 can perform airlift and airdrop missions andcan also transport patients during aeromedical evacuations.

During the ceremony, Clarke highlighted the versatility ofthe C-17. "Out of necessity, we plan for a lot of things wenever do, we have to,” he said. “Conversely, we do a lot ofthings we never plan for. This aircraft gives us that opportuni-ty. It gives our national leadership the opportunity to do manythings whether it's humanitarian aid or global strike capabili-ty."

Col. Darren Hartford, 437th Airlift Wing commander, rein-forced the adaptability of the C-17 aircraft and ingenuity ofAirmen in pursuit of the mission.

"The Airmen of the 437th continue to find new ways tomaximize the capabilities of this aircraft and to make sure weare always ready to answer the nation's call," said Hartford.

Threats to U.S. interests will continue to change in thefuture. Consequently, the demand for newer and more flexibleaircraft is needed to meet a wide variety of mission require-ments around the globe.

Col. James Fontanella, 315th Airlift Wing commander,added, "Over the past 20 years, the Charleston tail flash andthe American flag that's just above it represents a symbol ofAmerican might, American reach and American innovation.However, the people behind that symbol are what we reallyneed to celebrate the men and women of the 315th, the 437thand the 628th Air Base Wing."

The ceremony ended with Hartford and Fontanella receiv-ing the keys to the C-17.

"She's all yours, take good care of her," said Gen. Selva tothe receiving party.

Jackson reminded all the members of the audience that,"Wherever our citizen Airmen in the C-17 are, they are animpressive team, and while this may be the last aircraft deliv-ery to Charleston, this proud bird has many more flights to go."

Before the ceremony concluded members of the audiencewere reminded of the true source of airpower.

"The crews that fly this airplane, the maintainers who main-tain the aerial porters that feed cargo into it," said Selva. "Theygive it life, they give it a conscious, they are its heart and soul."

Story and photos by Senior Airman Tom BradingJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

For one family, the term “like father, like son” has never been more true.Any father would be proud to watch their son be a part of the arrival of the last C-17

Globemaster III to Joint Base Charleston. However, retired Chief Master Sgt. Bob Morris feltmore than pride knowing his son, Tech. Sgt. Mike Morris, 437th Airlift Wing OperationsGroup standards and evaluations loadmaster, was in the aircraft, he also felt nostalgic.

Bob was an active-duty loadmaster on the first C-17 that flew into the Charleston Air ForceBase. And, more than 20 years after that historic flight, Bob stood among a crowd of onlook-ers as the Air Force’s final C-17 landed on the flight line of JB Charleston – Air Base, S.C.and completed the fleet.

For Mike, he was just finishing the job his dad started.“Growing up, I always wanted to be like my dad,” said Mike. “I was fascinated with planes

and to see him come home from missions all over the world was like seeing my hero return.But, unlike most kids, I didn’t want to be a superhero or professional athlete … I wanted to belike my dad.”

And, also unlike most of us, Mike lived out his boyhood dream. As a young boy, Mike didn’t know the technical aspects of his dad’s job. All he knew was

his dad got to see the world from a bird’s eye view. However, Bob was doing much more thanlooking at clouds in the sky. He was handpicked to be the chief of testing the new aircraft, aswell as hand picking his team of loadmasters.

Bob was charged with the task of signing off on every aspect of the C-17 from the loadmas-ter’s perspective. Bob, and his team, laid the foundation for the safety and mission capabili-ties for loadmasters in the generations that followed.

“I’d ask myself ‘would you put your child in this aircraft?’ and if myanswer wasn’t a confident yes, I wouldn’t sign off on it,” said Bob.

Bob hung up his flight suit in 1996, but didn’t walk away from the loadmas-ter career field. Since retiring from active duty until today, Bob has workedwith C-17s at the Halverson Training Building at JB Charleston – Air Base,and has taught and mentored young loadmasters for more than 17 years.

But nobody has learned from Bob’s mentorship more than his son, Mike.“When I enlisted, there was only one career for me and that’s loadmas-

ter,” said Mike, looking back on his career. “My dad set a high standard,but it’s just motivated me from day one to be better than the previous day.”

After the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Mike was one of the firstAirmen to step up and request to leave on missions into Southeast Asia. Inthe years that followed, he continued to take on any mission, no matterwhat the challenge.

In the more than 12 years that followed the attacks, as Mike evolved asan Airman, the C-17 evolved as an aircraft. Today, the C-17 has beenthrough so many updates and modifications; it’s barely recognizable on theinside to the first model.

However, the first C-17 that Bob brought in is still operational todayand will continue the airlift mission along with the last one brought inmore than 20 years later by Mike.

“I am very proud of the Airman that Mike has become,” said Bob. “He’smy hero.”

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Andrea PerezNavy Personnel Command Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn. – The Navy is seeking highlymotivated master chief and senior chief petty officers for theCommand Master Chief and Command Senior ChiefProgram, officials said Sept. 13.

"Hands down, the most important role of a command mas-ter chief or command senior chief is to represent their Sailorsin all matters Navy to the commanding officer," saidCommand Master Chief Petty Officer Brent Tidwell,CMC/CSC detailer, Navy Personnel Command. "As a com-mand master chief or senior chief, you are the Sailors' voiceand they look to you for answers during challenging times,and you must be ready."

CMCs and CSCs ensure there is active communicationthroughout a chain of command. They advise their respectivecommander or commanding officer and provide input in theformulation, implementation, and execution of policies con-cerning morale, job satisfaction, discipline, family supportand training of enlisted Sailors, as well as provide input andadvice in matters affecting mission and operations.

"As a CMC, I'm responsible for the personal and profes-sional development of Sailors and I provide mentorship andtraining to junior officers so that their hard work and dedica-tion results in mission success," said Tidwell.

Those selected for the CMC/CSC Program are responsiblefor leading the alignment efforts of the Chiefs Mess with theNavy ethos and Navy core values, and the mission, vision andguiding principles set forth by the Master Chief Petty Officerof the Navy.

"Senior enlisted leaders should consider applying for the

CMC/CSC Program because it's the pinnacle of leadershipopportunities within our enlisted force," said Tidwell. "It pro-vides senior chiefs and master chiefs an opportunity to expandtheir experience past the technical aspects of their rate andlead a larger and more diverse group of Sailors than theywould as a source rated senior or master chief."

NAVADMIN 224/13 outlines eligibility and applicationprocedures. Master chief and senior chief petty officers,including those in a frocked status are encouraged to apply.Applications must be postmarked no later than Dec. 9.

CMC and CSC selection boards convene annually at NPC.The board reviews and selects the best-qualified applicants forassignment into the CMC/CSC Program.

"Every year we get 100 or so packages and the boardselects the very best of those," said Tidwell. "The main thingis that people keep trying to apply if they don't get selected thefirst or second time up. Don't give up because the opportuni-ties and challenges are worth the fight and the frustration. It'sreally rewarding to be a part of the command and see theimpact that you have in the command as a CMC."

Upon selection, receipt of orders and successful completionof a Military Senior Enlisted Academy and the Navy'sCommand Master Chief/Chief of the Boat course in Newport,R.I., master chief petty officers' ratings will then be changedto CMDCM. Senior chief petty officers filling CSC billetswill retain their source rating until selected for master chiefpetty officer and approved for conversion to CMDCM.

Master chiefs and senior chiefs selected for the CMC/CSCprogram will be assigned by the CMC detailer based on billetavailability, experience and qualifications. If an authorizedCSC billet is not available, members may be detailed by theirrating detailer until one becomes available.

Rec Review

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – The Air Force may have to"cut vertically" in fiscal year 2014 to achieve the savingsneeded under sequestration, the service's acting secretary saidhere September 16, 2013.

Everything is on the table, Eric Fanning said in a mediaroundtable at the Air Force Association's annual meeting.

He would not confirm reports that the Air Force is lookingat eliminating the A-10 Thunderbolt II air-to-ground fighterand the KC-10 refueling tanker, but said officials are "lookingmost closely at single-mission fleets."

Cuts to the budget in fiscal 2014 mean no ramp for the serv-ices – they will not enter these spending cuts gradually, theacting secretary said.

"If we go into fiscal 2014 with sequestration still in effect,you need to achieve those savings that quickly," he said. "Youhave to look at vertical cuts."

The Air Force cannot save money out of installations,because Congress will not support another round of baserealignments and closures, Fanning said. And even personnelcuts wouldn't provide immediate relief, he added.

Fencing off priority programs puts a lot of pressure on thewedge of the budget pie that's left, Fanning said.

"You can see what some of the programs are we might be after,but you can't get savings of the magnitude necessary by reducingall your fleets," he said. "You have to take out some of the fleetsentirely in order to get the whole tail that would come with it."

The fiscal 2015 budget is in turmoil. The Air Force – alongwith all of DOD – is formulating two separate budgets: onewith a sequestration topline and one based on the president'sbudget request.

All Air Force officials fully realize there are near-termcommitments that are imperative.

"We are still at war," Fanning said. "We are still required togo when contingencies arise. There is no greater commitmentwe have than to support the men and women being sent intoharm's way now."

But manning and equipping the force of the future also isimportant, Fanning said. He said the Air Force needs to askthe right questions to identify the game-changers of the future.

No one really knows what technologies or capabilities willchange warfare in the future, he said, but the Air Force must"keep looking for it and investing in it so you are adaptableand agile and better positioned to adjust to whatever that isahead of your adversary. If you are not asking the question,you are not focused in the right direction."

Over the past four years, the Air Force has been doing not onlyan annual budget, but also multiple budgets, conducting efficien-cy drills and "driving all of ourthinking and processes into thisever-tightening 'do loop' thattakes the eye of people off ofover-the-horizon thinking,"Fanning said.

In a time of drawdown,officials have to set up andenforce priorities, he said.

"But you need a budgetbaseline to build off of thosepriorities and look over thehorizon," Fanning said. "If weask the right question, the AirForce ... is going to be in adynamic place 10, 15, 20years in the future."
