From Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Officials at Joint Base Charleston recently discussed anescalation in the base’s ongoing efforts to prevent aircraft birdstrikes in the vicinity of the Air Base. Due to a large increase in the number of geese inhabiting

areas surrounding the airfield, and their growing immunity toother bird-removal tactics, officials have approved the super-vised use of firearms to decrease and deter the geese populationin areas outside the flightline.Bird strikes, especially among large fowl like geese and vul-

tures, pose a significant threat to aircrews, as well as peoplewho live and work near the Air Base. Each year, civil and mil-itary aircraft strike thousands of birds, and some planes — likeU.S. Airways Flight 1549 which did an emergency landing inthe Hudson River—crash as a result. Base leaders approved thebird-depredation tactic to prevent just such an incident.“Ensuring the safety of our people, both in the air and on

the ground, is my highest priority at Joint Base Charleston,”said Col. Jeffrey DeVore, 628th Air Base Wing commander.“With the number of geese here on the rise and the growingineffectiveness of our previous tactics, we needed to expandour depredation efforts to prevent a possible disaster.”The colonel stressed that the new plan involves prudent

checks and balances to prevent the risk of a safety mishap tobase members.“I know that the use of firearms, even in controlled circum-

stances, presents risks; therefore, I want to assure you that we havenumerous checks in place to minimize those risks,” said DeVore. Leaders are striving to make this process transparent to

base employees and residents and are working with the U.S.Department of Agriculture to implement the plan. Before the USDA representative may begin depredating

efforts, they must obtain approval from the 628th ABW com-

mander. The USDA representative will then coordinate withbase security forces personnel, who will escort them to thescene and cordon off the area, to protect the general public.Populated areas on the installation will be assessed for riskand, if the order to remove the geese is given, receive notifi-cation as early as possible before removal efforts begin. Allfiring will be done while the birds are on the ground and insuch a way as to avoid any buildings, structures or people.Finally, the USDA representative will only use birdshot tofurther reduce the risk of injury or damage on base.“We have used this tactic on the airfield for several years and

we rarely find geese inhabiting that area any longer, but the threatof bird strikes still remains from the flocks further inside thebase,” said Christopher Anderson, 628 ABW Director of safety.Previously, base officials have used non-lethal tactics like

loud noises and paintball guns to deter the geese. Thougheffective at first, the birds have since become immune,Anderson said.“We have discussed a variety of options to decrease the

threat of bird strikes,” said Col. John Lamontagne, 437thAirlift Wing commander. “Unfortunately, the geese popula-tion is becoming too much of a risk to flight operations, andwe need to use a more effective method to prevent a poten-tially catastrophic accident.”Officials estimate that 120 or more geese currently inhabit

the Air Base, having ceased their migratory patterns, said Lt ColBrian Surdyk, 437th Airlift Wing chief of safety. These geesesometimes fly to neighboring areas for water, which can involvethem crossing the arrival and departure paths of aircraft. "If unaddressed, the population of geese on the Air Base

could drive a Bird Watch Condition rating of 'severe,' whichwould prevent DOD aircraft from landing here," said Surdyk.Regarding what to do with the meat from any birds killed

as result of the new method, the base plans to donate it to

those in need off base, where possible, Anderson said.For questions about the Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard program

Leaders approve increased measures to deter geese, prevent aircraft mishap

Q1) What is the new method of off-airfield geeseremoval?A1) Our new method is to shoot and kill a select number of

geese near the airfield and on the airbase, while scaring off therest. These will be a highly-controlled and coordinated activ-ity, to reduce the risk to base employees and residents. Q2) Isn’t this method extreme?A2) This was never our first-choice method. In the interest

of public safety, we have been forced to expand the lethal tac-tics due to the immunity the geese have developed to our ear-lier methods and the growing number of flocks on the air base.Q3) When was the last time Joint Base Charleston air-

craft experienced a bird strike?A3) As of Sept. 24, the most recent bird strike occurred five

days ago, on Sept.19.Q4) How many bird strikes does the base average each

year?A4) JB Charleston has averaged 135 reported bird strikes

per year to military aircraft from 2008-2013. Multiple birdshitting an aircraft on one sortie is classified as a single strike. Q5) Did you reach out to BASH programs at other

bases to see if they have other non-lethal methods fordeterring the geese before deciding to use this new method?A5) USDA Wildlife services is in constant contact with

their counterparts to discuss wildlife control measures. Wemade the decision to extend our depredation tactics after con-sidering a range of options.Q6) What are you doing to reduce the risk to base

employees and families that this method presents?A6) We’ve developed guidance with our Security Forces

and Wing Safety members, along with our U.S. Department ofAgriculture contractor, that outlines a series of steps todecrease risk. Before the U.S. Department of Agriculture rep-resentative may begin depredating efforts, they must obtainapproval from the 628th ABW commander. The USDA

By Chief Master Sgt. Matt ProiettiAir Force Public Affairs Agency

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The Air Forceofficially turns 67 this month, but my uncleGino thinks it's older.He's 90, and the lone surviving brother of

my father. Both of them served in World WarII, as did two of their siblings. My father wasin the Navy, as was his eldest brother,Europeo (his real name, I swear). Gino andmy late uncle Dario were both aircraftmechanics in the Army Air Forces.Out of all of the times I talked to them

about their GI years, though, neither one eversaid he'd been in the Army. They were "in theAir Force."Maybe it's a genetic thing I share with

them, but I agree that Air Force history pre-dates Sept. 18, 1947, and think we should doa better job of recognizing that. The problemis, of course, what to use as a starting datefor such remembrances? Since we formedfrom the Army, my gut feeling is that weshould lay claim to its heritage dating backto 1775.That's just me, though. How about we look

back to the founding of the Union ArmyBalloon Corps during the Civil War? It was amilitary force in the air, after all. Still not like-ly to gain much support? OK, let's fast for-ward a few decades.What about 1907? That's when the Army

Signal Corps established its AeronauticalDivision responsible for "air machines."Perhaps 1908, when Orville Wright made aseries of flights for federal officials nearWashington, D.C. These demonstrations con-firmed that the latest airplane built by Wrightand his brother, Wilbur, met strict governmentspecifications, and the resulting $25,000 con-tract included training of the first two militarypilots. Still not convinced? Then let's aim forthe March 5, 1913, founding of the 1stReconnaissance Squadron, which still existstoday at Beale Air Force Base, California.Some curmudgeons will say military flight

prior to World War I is just too far back toinclude in any kind of U.S. Air Force history.Well then, let's begin at the Great War, whichallows us to acknowledge the flying exploitsof men such as Maj. Carl Spaatz and Capt.

Eddie Rickenbacker. Spaatz, a West Pointgraduate, gets extra credit for being the firstAir Force chief of staff three decades laterand for his remains being interred at the AirForce Academy.If that is still Army history, though, surely

we can trace our roots to the pioneering aircampaigners of the 1920s and 1930s likeBilly Mitchell and Hap Arnold, whose early,deliberate steps eventually led to a separateflying service. Mitchell died in 1936, wellbefore that realization, but Congress awardedhim a special Medal of Honor a decade laterfor "outstanding pioneer service and foresightin the field of American military aviation."Arnold, who served on the Joint Chiefs ofStaff in World War II as head of the Army AirForces, was retired from the military whenthe Air Force branched off from the Army. Hewas made a five-star "general of the AirForce" in 1949 even though he technicallynever served a day in that service.Somewhere in here is the right starting

point for recognizing Air Force history.Maybe I'm a bit too sensitive to criticismabout the Air Force being the youngest of themilitary branches. Disparagement of itsyouthfulness was first directed at me before Ieven put on its uniform for the first time. Ienlisted as a high school senior and continuedto work at a pizza shop as I waited to leave forboot camp. An old Marine who was a regularcustomer was delighted to hear that I wasjoining "the service" - until I told him whichone."The Air Force!" he spat. "Those Johnny-

come-latelies? Where were they when..." andhe proceeded to recite a list of proud leather-neck campaigns back to the First BarbaryWar. It was clear he expected an answer from17-year-old me. I cleared my throat and askedhim how it would have been possible to havean Air Force before man invented flight. Adisgusted look crossed his face. He grabbedhis pizza and stormed off into the night.I've been in the Air Force for 30 years and

the longer I'm around, the more I think likemy uncles. The Air Force may have officiallyseparated from the Army Sept. 18, 1947, butit existed - in spirit, innovation and tradition -well before that. Once it started, there's beenno stopping it.

Look past 1947 for Air Force roots

Airmen Against Drunk Driving: Wingmen Saving Lives

DUI CONDITION:YELLOW!

By Maj. Sean PapworthNATO Air Training Command-Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan – The card posted on thewall consisted of just four short words and theowner's name. It read, "Hope you make it - Gavin." This simple message from a grade school holi-

day card at the entry to the dining facility on oursmall Forward Operating Base in Kabul,Afghanistan, brought no small amount of joy andquite a bit of laughter to all who saw it. The place-ment was perfect: taped to the wall, above the onlytrash can in the check-in and hand washing areaeveryone goes through before going inside to eat.Every single deployed member saw these fourwords and their author's name before every mealduring our most festive season.But, though it made us laugh, this one-liner car-

ried so much weight for so many people, includingme.To me, this short saying had a massive impact in

spite of being only four words long. I thought,"This young Gavin is wise beyond his years." Sowith just a concise message on that holiday card,he wished me well – while being slightly realisticabout the role I lived as a deployed member of ourexpeditionary military service. I may not make it,

but he hopes I do. That is a profound comfort from a presumed

grade-schooler. It turned out to be the one mes-sage I adopted as a deployed state of mind. Sowith that simple thought in mind, those of uswho were deployed here during the last holidayseason adopted Gavin's words as our favoritesaying.Going on a mission? "Hope you make it."

Going on leave? "Hope you make it." Going to therestroom? You guessed it: "Hope you make it!"Gavin's message took root and carried on well

past the holiday season. By this summer, manyof the Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and Marineswho originally saw the card had redeployed(They made it!), but the message lived on. Thecard was taken down and its whereabouts areunknown. But new teammates now pass alongyoung Gavin's words and are told the tale of itsenduring meaning. In fact, the popularity of thesaying has grown within our organization and hassince been immortalized in the form of posters,coffee cups, and recently uniform "morale" patch-es. We may not be able to wear them on duty, butyou can bet a lot of us have one!"Hope you make it." What a timeless message

from a young American in support of his country's

troops in Afghanistan! I hope to meet Gavin one day and let him know

the great joy that his little phrase brought to ourhappy lot. I know that I and those working with mewill not forget this saying. It became a significantpart of our deployed life. And after successfully completing 365 days

deployed, all I want to say in conclusion is ...THANK YOU, Gavin – "I made it!"

Thanking Gavin: Boy's holiday cardamuses, inspires deployed troops

A popular morale patch crafted from the four-letternote a boy named Gavin sent on a holiday card -"Hope you make it." The boy's note continues toamuse and inspire many deployed members atForward Operating Base Oqab, Kabul, Afghanistan.

According to a recent internet search, the term"maverick" refers to something that does not carrya specific brand. The 437th Maintenance Squadronhere at Joint Base Charleston fits this namebecause there is no specific "brand" within oursquadron. Led by Maj. Brian Clark, the 437thMXS has 12 different and diverse Air ForceSpecialty Codes which directly support and impactflightline maintenance on a daily basis. Each one of the aircraft specialty shops delivers

its own unique mission responsibilities which con-tribute to the daily flying schedule. The seven flightswithin the 437th MXS include Munitions, PrecisionMeasurement Equipment Laboratory, Avionics,Fabrication, Accessories, Aerospace GroundEquipment, and Maintenance, and all carry the loadwhen it comes to "backshop" maintenance.The Munitions flight handles every explosive

item which comes through the wing and keeps air-craft safe by building up and delivering flaresneeded for downrange missions. Its supportextends to security forces as well as the Naval

Weapons Station. PMEL calibrates and repairs alloff-equipment items that require special handlingand precise measurements to function correctly.The PMEL technicians have the ability to measureweighted items less than a quarter of an ounce.Avionics houses only 20 percent of Air MobilityCommand's avionic test equipment capabilities,yet provides 50 percent of all equipment repairsAMC-wide. One of only 11 shops world-wide, itis responsible for repairs on 37 separate linereplaceable units on the C-17. Fabrication consistsof metals tech, sheet metal and nondestructiveinspection, all of which contribute in their ownunique manner. Metals tech is often on the fore-front of wing tours and has one of the best shops inthe Air Force. If something is bent, cracked, brokenor needs to be made, one of these sections will getthe call.Hydraulics, Fuels and Electrical/Environmental

all reside within the Accessories flight. Again,each one brings a specific skill to supporting C-17maintenance both in the backshop and on theflightline. Items such as brake buildup, fuel leakrepair, electronic malfunctions and air conditioningfaults are handled by these specialties. Aerospace

Ground Equipment provides safe and serviceablemaintenance stands and support units required forcompleting on-aircraft repair actions at the timeand place needed. This flight deploys towbars toaustere parts of the world and provides power/aircondition generators, light carts, high reach unitsand other equipment necessary for aircraft genera-tion.Finally, the Maintenance Flight provides a

detailed and comprehensive inspection of all air-craft every 120 days. Maintainers complete visualinspections and repair actions on every portion ofthe C-17. Each inspection is carefully document-ed, and each repair is functionally checked prior to"selling" the aircraft back to the 437th AircraftMaintenance Squadron. Along with Aero Repairwhich has crash recovery and disabled aircraftresponsibilities, decontamination requirements andtire build up, the flight ensures a reliable and safelyinspected aircraft is ready for flight.None of the 52 assigned C-17's at JB Charleston

could make its mission happen without the supportof diversely skilled active duty, air reserve techni-cians and civilian maintainers which make up the437th MXS.

representative will then coordinate with base security forcespersonnel, who will escort them to the scene and cordon offthe area, to protect the general public. Populated areas on theinstallation will be assessed for risk and, if the order toremove the geese is given, receive notification as early as pos-sible before removal efforts begin. All firing will be donewhile the birds are on the ground and in such a way as to avoidany buildings, structures or people. Finally, the USDA repre-sentative will only use birdshot, to further reduce the risk ofinjury or damage on base.Q7) Why is the U.S. Department of Agriculture

involved? Doesn’t the Air Force have specialized people tohandle this?A7) Though our Air Force safety technicians receive a

basic overview of managing wildlife from a safety perspec-tive, the process of controlling wildlife is better left to atrained biological scientist. Moreover, our USDA scientisthelps ensure that we comply with the various federal, state,and local guidance involved in managing wildlife. Q8) Aren’t you concerned that this might desensitize

people to the open display of firearms on base?A8) This is a unique and highly-controlled situation. The

open use of firearms on base by anyone other than lawenforcement officials, or at the approved skeet and CATMranges is prohibited. If you see anyone on base openly usingfirearms in a way not noted above, seek shelter immediatelyand notify Security Forces at (843) 963-3600.Q9) Where will geese depredation occur? A9) The program will take place in open areas around the

airfield and the Air Base where the geese population tends tocongregate. Populated areas on the installation will be assessedfor risk and, if the order to remove the geese is given, receivenotification as early as possible before removal efforts begin.Q10) Can I expect to be notified of nearby geese depre-

dation prior to the event? A10) Security forces will notify members in the vicinity

prior to a depredation incident. They will also establish a cor-don, to keep people away from the affected area. Q11) What time of day will geese depredation occur? A11) The program will be conducted during daylight hours.

Q12) Who will be conducting the geese removal? Whatare their qualifications to do so safely? A12) A trained United States Department of Agriculture con-

tractor will remove the geese in coordination with theInstallation Commander, Security Forces, and safety personnel.Q13) Is this a temporary tactic, or can we expect it to be

the “new normal”? A13) We anticipate we will use this tactic from time to time

to prevent the geese from congregating near the airfield/airbase.Q14) What will happen to the geese once they are shot?A14) Where possible, we plan to donate the meat to those

in need off base.Q15) What other methods have you tried to deter geese

from inhabiting the Air Base before now? A15) Previously, we’ve tried scaring the geese away using

loud noises and, most recently, shooting them with paintballs.Though relatively effective at first, the geese have sincebecome immune to these tactics, and their continued presencehere poses a significant risk to military and civilian flightoperations.

Q&A Regarding Joint Base Charleston’s Bird Strike Program - from Page 1

From U.S. Central Command Public Affairs

TAMPA, Fla. – U.S. military forces and partner nations,including the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Hashemite Kingdomof Jordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UnitedArab Emirates, undertaken military action against ISIL terror-ists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber, remotely pilotedaircraft and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles to conductstrikes against ISIL targets.The strikes destroyed or damaged multiple ISIL targets in

the vicinity of Ar Raqqah, Dayr az Zawr, Al Hasakah, andAbu Kamal and included ISIL fighters, training compounds,headquarters and command and control facilities, storagefacilities, a finance center, supply trucks and armed vehicles.To conduct these strikes, the United States employed 47

TLAMs launched from USS Arleigh Burke and USS Philippine

Sea operating from international waters in the Red Sea andNorth Arabian Gulf, as well as U.S. Air Force, Navy andMarine Corps fighter, remotely piloted and bomber aircraftdeployed to the U.S. Central Command area of operations. Inaddition, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Hashemite Kingdom ofJordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UnitedArab Emirates also participated in or supported the airstrikesagainst ISIL targets. All aircraft safely exited the strike areas.Also, in Iraq yesterday, U.S. military forces continued to

attack ISIL terrorists, using attack aircraft to conduct fourairstrikes. The airstrikes destroyed two ISIL Humvees, anISIL armed vehicle and an ISIL fighting position southwest ofKirkuk. All aircraft exited the strike areas safely. To date, U.S.Central Command has conducted a total of 194 airstrikesacross Iraq against ISIL.The United States conducted these strikes as part of the

President's comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimatelydefeat ISIL. Going forward, the U.S. military will continue toconduct targeted airstrikes against ISIL in Syria and Iraq aslocal forces go on the offensive against this terrorist group.Separately, the United States has also taken action to dis-

rupt the imminent attack plotting against the United States andWestern interests conducted by a network of seasoned al-Qa'ida veterans - sometimes referred to as the KhorasanGroup - who have established a safe haven in Syria to developexternal attacks, construct and test improvised explosivedevices and recruit Westerners to conduct operations. Thesestrikes were undertaken only by U.S. assets.In total, U.S. Central Command conducted eight strikes

against Khorasan Group targets west of Aleppo to include train-ing camps, an explosives and munitions production facility, acommunication building and command and control facilities.

Story and photo by Capt. Michaela Judge315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

A dedication ceremony was held Sept. 20, at Joint BaseCharleston, S.C., formally naming a 315th Airlift Wing build-ing after Air Force Reserve Master Sgt. Ronald Hall, whomade significant contributions to the Aeromedical Evacuationfield during his career. Hall began his military and AE careerin 1983, and after years of dedicated military service, passedaway in 2011.During the ceremony attended by family, friends and co-

workers, building 416 was officially designated as the MasterSergeant Ronald A. Hall Aeromedical Evacuation OperationsFacility in his memory and honor."Air Force heritage is remembering those that made lasting

contributions to the nation. When Airmen ask, 'who was RonHall,' it gives us the chance to explain his accomplishmentsand highlight the values he exemplified that we hold dear,"said Lt. Col. David Ball, chief of operations.Hall was assigned to Charleston Air Force base in 1987 and

played a key role as an aeromedical evacuation technician andevaluator. As an AE crew member, he was qualified on C-141,C-130, KC-135, C-17 and CRAF aircraft.Hall's professionalism helped to further AE's role to

"Preserve the fighting strength," by providing in-flight med-ical care aboard mission-directed aircraft used to airliftpatients - essentially turning the C-17 into a flying hospital.His service and dedication to the Air Force brought him to

locations all over the world to include Iraq, Afghanistan,Kuwait, Hawaii, Europe, Japan, Panama, Azores, St. Croixand Puerto Rico."For 24 of his 28 years of service, Master Sgt. Ron Hall

served as an aeromedical evacuation technician at the 315th

AES. He became an instructor andlater an evaluator, teaching new gener-ations of Airmen how to care forwounded in flight," said Ball.Despite having a massive heart

attack while on an alert crew after theSept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Hallfought to regain worldwide mobilitystatus and later deployed in support ofOperations Iraqi and EnduringFreedom.Even further surpassing his love for

his job was the care and time Hallspent with his co-workers, friends andfamily."In addition to his superior clinical

and crew management skills, Ron wasa genuinely nice guy. He was thePitmaster; the cook for all of ourBBQs ... be they here at Charleston orat hotspots around the globe," saidBall.The ceremony included remarks by

Col. Diane DiFrancesco, AES com-mander, as well as several remem-brances from friends and previous co-workers. At the close ofthe dedication, Hall's wife and family cut the ribbon markingthe official designation of the Master Sergeant Ronald A. HallAeromedical Evacuation Operations Facility. The ceremonywas followed by a tour of the facility and a wing BBQ, one ofHall's favorite pastimes."Master Sgt. Hall was truly considered a subject matter

expert within the AE community; he made tremendous contri-

butions over the years in support of global aeromedical con-tingencies, exercises and training," said DiFrancesco."Naming our operations building after Master Sgt. Hall,establishes a permanent reminder of the values that he repre-sented to all those that had the honor to know and serve withhim. The mottos "Duty, Honor, Country" were words that heembodied throughout his military career."

AES Ops building named after influential Wing, AES member

Rosemary Green-Hall, wife of Master Sgt. Ron Hall, along with his daughters, Emilyand Sarah, and father-in-law Ronald Hall, prepare to cut the ribbon for the MasterSergeant Ronald A. Hall Aeromedical Evacuation Operations Facility during a dedi-cation ceremony Sept. 21, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. The building wasnamed after Master Sgt. Ronald Hall, who spent 24 of his 28 years in the Air Forceas a member of the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron. After years of dedicat-ed service to the military, Hall passed away in May 2011.

October is Energy Action Month, a time to think about theimportance of energy in our daily lives, in the lives of ourfamilies and in our ability to accomplish our mission. Thetheme for Energy Action Month is "I am Air Force Energy,"because we all have a role to play in ensuring energy securityand achieving our mission to fly, fight and win, in air, spaceand cyberspace. Air Force leadership has clearly stated its priorities as win-

ning today's fight, taking care of our people and preparing fortomorrow's challenges. It is up to each MAJCOM, installa-tion, functional area and Air Force member to ensure its activ-ities and actions support these priorities.One way all of us can support Air Force priorities both

directly or indirectly is by reducing waste and ensuring ourlimited resources are used effectively. Energy reduction, aform of waste reduction, is something that each of us canpractice by decisions we make each day. Here are some num-bers to consider: Joint Base Charleston spends an average of$1.2 million each month for electricity or almost $13.5 mil-

lion each year.Joint Base Charleston is leading the way in

large-scale energy reduction efforts. Wehave an Energy Savings PerformanceContract in which we have partnered withcontractors to install energy-efficient lightingthroughout our facilities, geothermal heatpumps, a central chilled water plant,enhanced energy management controls sys-tems and energy-efficient heating and venti-lation and air conditioning systems in morethan 138 facilities on the Air Base. The introduction of thesenew systems has allowed us to achieve a 37% energy reduc-tion and save over $2.4 million in additional energy and watercosts each year since 2007. We are now exploring possibleopportunities for a future ESPC on the Weapons Station.While we continue to look at large-scale or system-wide

energy reduction opportunities, each unit can reduce energyconsumption through several simple practices. Removeunnecessary coffee pots, microwaves, hot plates and othersmall appliances. Turn off all tools, office machines andportable appliances when not in use. Use daylight instead of

electric light whenever possible. Turn offlights whenever you leave your office or aroom is unoccupied. Ensure computermonitors automatically switch to sleepmode after a few minutes of inactivity. Bysimply setting your thermostat to 76-78degrees during the summer months youcan help reduce our overall consumptionby 10-15%. Contact the Civil EngineerSquadron Service Call to report inopera-tive lights, switches, air-conditioning sys-

tems and thermostats.Energy conservation at JB Charleston is a continually

evolving process and requires participation from all members.Resources saved by energy reduction can be used to supportour mission and quality of life. The "I Am Air Force Energy"theme speaks not only to the progress that our Airmen havemade but also how we all can make a difference in helping theAir Force become more energy secure. Through your effortsboth big and small your innovation is crucial to our ability toachieve our mission and maintain an assured energy advan-tage in air, space and cyberspace.

Robotic Urological Surgery

www.rs3.com/roboticsWE ACCEPT TRICARE

There are many urological conditions that may require surgery such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer or an ureteral

obstruction. Traditionally, these procedures were done through long painful incisions. Fortunately today, our patients

have a better option – robotic surgery.

With just a few tiny incisions, our patients now have a smaller scar, less pain, shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery.

Every year, on the third Friday ofSeptember, the nation honors its prisoners ofwar and service members who are still listedas missing in action.This year, Sept. 19 marked the observance

of National POW/MIA Recognition Day andJoint Base Charleston Airmen and Sailorsheld events honoring the commitments andsacrifices of those service members still listedas POW and MIA, and their families and thedifficulties they've had to endure.The two-day event began Sept. 17 and

included a golf tournament to raise awareness,a guest speaker and the start of a 24-hour vigilrun on the base track initiated by Col. JohnLamontagne, 437th Airlift Wing commander.Former POWs and their families were

invited to learn about Joint Base Charleston'smissions and capabilities. The guests also par-ticipated in a luncheon and toured aGlobemaster III, C-17 static display.

The two-day observance culminated in theretreat ceremony Sept. 19, placing emphasison the POW/MIA sacrifices to the countryand our commitment to bring them all home.Capt. Chuck Jackson spoke about his

experiences as a POW in Vietnam after his F-4D was shot down by MiG fighters in 1972.He answered questions and gave advice onways resiliency can help service membersendure difficult situations.Master Sgt. Charles Lauderdale, 437th

Airlift Wing functional manager and stan-dardizations and evaluations superintendent,coordinated the events."Hearing some of the stories of these

POWs really puts things into perspective fora lot of people," Lauderdale said. "I can'timagine being in a POW camp, especially formonths to years at a time. The constant abuseand horrible conditions; the kind of fortitudethat you must have to not just give up speaksvolumes about resiliency, and that's some-thing we can all learn from."

Forest City needs your input

By Jim McMurry628th Air Base Wing motorcycle safety manager

A lot has changed for motorcycle operators during the last few years. The Department of Defense Instruction 6055.04, DOD Traffic Safety Program, Incorporating

Change 2, Jan. 23, 2013, changed the training requirements and Personal Protective Gearrequired for active-duty motorcycle operators and anyone who operates a motorcycle on a DODinstallation. The Air Force followed the DOD Instruction by amending Air Force Instruction 91-207, The

U.S. Air Force Traffic Safety Program, Sept. 12, 2013, to mirror the DOD requirements.The Navy, which follows the requirements of OPNAVINST 5100.12J, Navy Traffic Safety

Program, has not changed since the Navy's requirements were already more restrictive than theDOD requirements. The Army updated Army Regulation 385-10 Nov. 2013, to also mirror theDOD Instruction.So, now that all the technicalities are out of the way, what does this mean to you as a motor-

cycle operator? First, PPE requirements have changed. In all services, a DOT, Snell or ECE helmet is required, along with impact resistant eye pro-

tection, long sleeve shirt or jacket, long pants, sturdy over-the-ankle footwear and full-fingeredgloves made of abrasive resistant materials. The requirements for upper outer garments to bebrightly colored during the day and reflective at night have been changed to "highly encouraged." Also, wearing motorcycle specific clothing that is abrasive resistant is also highly encouraged.

This requirement is for all active-duty personnel, on or off the installation, for civilians who ridea motorcycle in the performance of their duties on or off the installation, and for anyone whooperates a motorcycle on a DOD installation.If riding a motorcycle is in your future, your training requirements are broken down by service

branch due to the variations. Air Force active-duty personnel, must take an approved basic ridereducation training course prior to operating a motorcycle. The Motorcycle Safety FoundationBasic Riders Course meets this requirement and is offered on Joint Base Charleston. Active-duty personnel with riding experience prior to entering the military and in possession

of a state license with a motorcycle endorsement are not required to take the BRC, but will berequired to take an intermediate course at a minimum.

Riders have up to one year to complete an intermediate course after completing the BRC.Intermediate courses include the MSF Basic Rider Course-2 (formerly the Experienced RidersCourse), the MSF Advanced Riders Course, or the Military Sportbike Riders Course. The BRC-2 and ARC are offered at JB Charleston. If you ride a sport bike, you must take the ARC or MSRC as your intermediate training. After

completing intermediate training, you will have to complete refresher training every five years.Any approved course will satisfy the refresher training requirement.The same requirements for basic rider education courses apply for Navy active-duty members

and Level II training must be completed within 60 days of initial training. Courses approved forLevel II training include the BRC-2, the ARC and the MSRC. Sport bike riders are required totake the ARC or the MSRC as Level II training. After completion of Level II training, Refresher Training is required every three years.

Refresher Training includes any Level II or Level II courses approved by the Navy Safety Center. For other services and DOD components training requirements, contact your safety office.Any DOD ID card holder (civilian, contractor, dependent, or retiree) can sign up for any

motorcycle safety training course. However, since only active-duty personnel are required to takethis training, they will always have priority in the courses. Joint Base Charleston also has a unique training opportunity for motorcycle operators, the JB

Charleston Street Riding Skills Mentorship Program. JB Charleston has the use of a 1.5 mileclosed course to use for motorcycle safety training to include basic (Level I), intermediate (LevelII), and advanced (Level III). Each level must be completed before advancing to the next. Thisprogram has been approved by all services as refresher training.Riders can enroll in any of the training course available at JB Charleston though ESAMS,

https://esams.cnic.navy.mil/esams_gen_2/loginesams.aspx, or by contacting your squadron/com-mand Motorcycle Safety Representative. For non-active duty personnel authorized to take thesecourses, go to www.navymotorcyclerider.com to enroll.

If you are a secondary survivor - a parent,friend or partner of a survivor of sexual assault,providing support to loved ones in the aftermathof sexual assault can be incredibly difficult.Oftentimes both survivors and their supportersstruggle with feeling helpless in the aftermath,and it can take some time to learn how torespond. For many survivors, support is a cru-cial part of the healing process, and receivingcompassionate and validating responses fromfriends and family can make a real difference. You may have difficulty in knowing what to

say or do to help. It’s okay to not have all theanswers; non-judgmental listening and simply

being there can be a wonderful support for thesurvivor. Let them know that you care, that youdon’t blame them, and that you believe in them.Always remember to empower victims to maketheir own decisions, never pressure their report-ing or healing pathway. In addition to finding ways to support the sur-

vivor, it’s very important to maintain your ownwell-being. You may find yourself feelingalarmed by the intensity of your own feelings. Itcan be helpful to recognize that it is natural forsupporters to experience their own sense of shock,anger and devastation. Acknowledge the impactthat this has on your own life, and seek outsidesupport for yourself. Taking care of your needscan make it easier to provide support to others.

Secondary Survivor: For Friends, Family & Partners of Sexual Assault Survivors

By Chaplain Greg Smith, USNR

The English word, “worry” comes from a rootword that means, “to strangle or choke.” If worryhas found its way into your life, you understandthe choking and strangling effect it can have onyour thoughts, emotions, and attitude. I once heard someone say that, “worry, like

a rocking chair, will give you something todo, but it won’t get you anywhere.” I recentlyread some startling results of a study onworry, which indicate how unproductive most

of our worry actually is. The study found that,on average, 40% of the things we worry aboutnever happen, 30% are focused on things inthe past we cannot change, 12% are related toothers’ criticism, 10% are about potentialhealth risks, and surprisingly only 8% of ourworries concern things that actually happen. We can’t change the past, control what oth-

ers say or do, or determine the future, but wecan choose how we approach today. Focus on blessings. Build others up. Exercise
