Ombudsmen: Making a difference where it matters most

By Senior Airman Tom BradingJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

The Pleiku Air Base Association held a wreath laying cer-emony Sept. 5, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., to honorthe fallen service members stationed at the Pleiku Air Base inSouth Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The group meetsannually to keep the memories of their fallen comrades alive. This year's ceremony, at JB Charleston, welcomed Lt. Col.

Warren Brainard, 628th Air Base Wing Security ForcesSquadron commander. "We're honored to have the heroes of Pleiku Air Base here

with us today," said Brainard. "To the Pleiku veterans, we aretruly standing on the shoulders of giants, and thank you for allyour sacrifices." Brainard, along with Harry Beam, Pleiku ABA president, laid

a ceremonial wreath at the base flag pole during the ceremony

which was attended by more than 70 members of the PleikuABA and their families. Tom Rushnock, Pleiku Air BaseAssociation secretary, read the World War I-inspired poem, "InFlanders Fields" as a tribute to the fallen service members.

"We are the dead," Rushnock read from the poem, referringto the fallen. "Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunsetglow. Loved, and were loved and now we lie in Flanders Field." For the men of Pleiku Air Base that are still missing in

action, their "Flanders Field" remains the jungles of Vietnam,Laos and Cambodia. The identified fallen service memberswere brought home to grieving families who never got achance to see their loved ones again. A ceremonial bell tolled and echoed far into the distance as

each fallen servicemember's name was read during the memo-rial. A member of the group placed a single carnation by thewreath after each name was called. The carnations representedthe fallen members that never returned from Southeast Asia.

But, these were more than names; these were the friendsand the brothers-in-arms of the survivors who could feel theirpresence and see their faces in today's military members.While looking back on the horrors of war this group endured,many of the veterans openly showed their emotions as theydealt with the painful memories and losses as tears fell fromtheir faces, only to find solace in knowing the memory of theircomrades was being kept alive, and their names were morethan letters etched in granite. Names like Staff Sgt. Rodney Gott, who along with nine

others, lost his life in the jungle-covered mountains of Laosafter their EC47Q aircraft crashed. Names like Capt. RobertMiddlebrooks, an Alabama native who lost his life after his A-1E Skyraider crashed in the dark hours of Jan. 13, 1966.Names, more than 70, belonging to men of all ages and ranks,all honored equally and remembered for their sacrifice.

By Lt. Col. Guy Alexander247th Intelligence Squadron

BERRY FIELD, NASHVILLE, TN – As Ipondered what to write this month, I recalled apowerful moment . . .While holding a position as the J2 in South

Carolina, I had a visit with Dr. Jim Chow (also rec-ognized as Brig. Gen. Chow). Leaving his office, Iencountered an elderly couple at the elevator. Onecould tell they were a couple of countless yearstogether. Like everyone else in this fast pacedworld, I immediately pushed the elevator buttonwhile waiting impatiently. I heard the gentlemanask his wife to push the same button. Due to hismedical condition and age, the gentleman was bentover and supported by a cane; therefore, unable tosee much around him. I couldn't see his face norcould he see mine. His wife informed him that themilitary person (I was in uniform) beside them hadalready done so.As the doors opened, he slowly and gingerly

shuffled his way in. I eagerly waited for the doorsto close while anxiously checking my watch. Asthey finally settled in, the elderly man raised hishead with difficulty and glanced up at me. Heasked me a couple of questions most people do

with military members. He then began to tell mehis stories of World War II, the Korean War andhis service time concluding with him reaching therank of chief warrant officer. With every storytold, he lifted his head a little higher so I couldnow see his eyes. As I listened, I can see the prideand patriotism he had for this country. I looked athis wife. She too stood proud while holding hisarm and keeping him steadfast as he could notstand on his own.Several others had entered the elevator and

began listening to the incredible life story of thisproud man.Reaching the bottom floor, everyone quickly

scurried out to adhere to their busy schedules. I toojoined the "rat race." As I exited, I could see thecouple from my peripheral vision slowly shuffleout of the elevator. I, now several steps in frontcame to a stop, turned back and asked if I couldescort them to the car. They gladly accepted. As wewalked, the gentleman excitedly continued with hisstories. At the car, his wife opened the door andstood by his side as we prepared to gingerly settlehim in. I then decided to take several steps awayfrom the car and turned around to face them. Hisstories had resonated within me. I rendered a saluteand said, "Sir, Ma'am- I salute and thank you both

for your service." The gentleman mustered up what it seemed all

his strength to stand up as straight as possible. Hethen raised his trembling arm and returned mysalute as a tear rolled down his cheek. As I droppedmy salute, I placed my hand on his shoulder andturned around to depart. To my surprise, I noticedseveral cars had come to a complete stop in theparking lot. They were the same busy people in theelevator who had heard his stories and were fever-ishly on their way. For that moment, they too rec-ognized and paused to share in the moment and paytheir respects to these two great Americans. Mylessons learned that day from a wonderful couple...- True patriotism is more than just saying so.- Recognize and appreciate who truly keeps you

standing & steadfast.As we once again remember the anniversary of

Sept. 11, I ask you to remember those Americanswho have paid the ultimate sacrifice while alsoblessing those who have laid the foundation andprovided the opportunity for us to serve. Suchremembrance and blessing is not limited to those inuniform but to every American who make thiscountry great. It is our story. We must... alwaysremember to never forget.

We must always remember to never forget

By Master Sgt. Brett Hopkins437th Operations Support Squadron first sergeant

I'm certain this will get the attention of your co-workers, but raise your handif you think the Air Force provides too much resilience training. I sometimesthink so too, but then I step back to see the larger picture and how resiliencecan make you the calm eye in the hurricane of life's problems."Perception is reality" is a phrase you hear often, but probably discount as

soon as it is said. I remember a lot of people asking last December, "Why doesthe Air Force want to kick me out?" The reality of the situation is that cuts hadto be made to reach end strength and service goals. Our leaders tried to determine the most likely cuts based on manning, Air

Force Specialty Codes and grades, and then notified effected personnel thatthere was a potential for involuntary separation. At the same time they offeredseveral voluntary programs to encourage those who wanted to leave to get outand reduce the involuntary burden. While some were forced to involuntarilyseparate, the numbers were much less than initially feared. For those members who are being separated, the skills gained through

resiliency training may prove to be the difference in their transition beingsteady and successful, or uncontrollable and subject to the shifting winds ofthis hurricane of life. I once worked for a wise master sergeant who liked to both confront and

embolden his personnel, long before the emergence of resilience training, bysaying "your actions are only 10 percent driven by what is actually happening,the other 90 percent is how you choose to react to it."You may recall an emphasis on the ABCs of resilience. This is used to help you

easily understand how a situation can be made worse through your own actions. A is for Adversity. These are the problems, or hurricane's winds life is

throwing at you. Force reduction was the same for every person identified inthe most likely groups. The game changer was the B or Beliefs. Many thought the announcement was a certain death knell for their careers

while some were completely unmoved, or others began deliberate planningwhat to do should they be separated. This was the "perception is reality" por-tion of resilience. The circumstance wasn't different, but the perception of itvaried based on individual beliefs. Those beliefs led to different action sets foreach individual. Some began a noticeable withdrawal from their normal activ-ities or personality. As Wingmen I hope we all took notice and helped in what-ever way we could. Some began planning for the possibility of being told toseparate. Still others placed no effort into an action, certain of their retention. What resulted was the C or Consequences of those actions. Personnel were

both retained and separated. Some were caught off guard due to a completelack of planning. Some may have sunk further into social withdrawal andneeded more of our help and caring. Still others were prepared and began, orcontinued, execution of their separation plans. The point of resilience isn't to say people believed wrongly, but rather they

reacted differently to the same adversity based on their beliefs which led to theirconsequences. In some cases this created a new adversity for them to deal with. Resilience isn't about a magic formula to make the best choices, it is about

recognizing the beliefs that shape your actions in the face of adversity to betterprepare yourself to deal with consequences. This is an age-old dilemma thathas been presented as coping with stress, overcoming adversity or even learn-ing from your mistakes. The importance and value of the ABCs of resilience is all of these areas are

addressed while allowing you to understand the beliefs that drive your actionsin hopes you can dismantle destructive patterns and create useful ones instead- becoming the calm eye of life's hurricanes.

LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. –(Editor's note: Though the author chose to remainanonymous, this is the real story of one Airman'sexperience with sexual assault. Be mindful that notwo sexual assault stories are the same. If you, oranyone you know, has been or is currently a victimof any sexual crime, contact the Sexual AssaultResponse Coordinator or a victim's advocate.)When I was in college I had an incident happen to

me that I wouldn't ever wish to happen to anyone,not even my worst enemy. In one night my wholeperspective on my life and my world was changed.I had just turned 21, and it was the first semester

of my junior year in college. Another weekend hadrolled around, and I was going to hang out with thegirls. A friend of mine, "Amy," decided instead ofgoing out we could just have a small house party ather apartment. Amy picked me up so I could drinkand not have to think about driving my own car.About seven or eight guys came over, brought

drinks and everything seemed fine. We were allhaving a good time, playing drinking games, lis-tening to music and dancing. There was one partic-ular guy, who I noticed had taken a real liking tome. At times he had gotten a little too close, but itwas a party; we were just having fun.When the end of the night rolled around, Amy

had gotten ridiculously drunk and started yellingand screaming for everyone to leave. She had for-gotten the other girls and I were staying with her.She wanted us to leave, but ... we had no car.The same guy that had been paying me a little

too much attention all night spoke up and said hecould take us home no problem. We didn't live toofar from each other. My friend, "Kara" and I decid-ed we would both ride with him to "be safe." Whilewalking to the car, I started to complain about hav-ing a headache. After we got in the car, we droppedKara off first. That's when I should have noticedsomething was wrong, because in order to get toher place, we had to pass mine. Instead, I thought

to myself, "Whatever, this headache is killing me."After dropping Kara off, the guy asked me if I

wanted to stop by the 24-hour gas station and grabsome Tylenol. "Sure. I don't care; just get mehome," I said. I stayed in the car while he got outfor the Tylenol. I felt the alcohol kicking in a littlemore, but I was still aware of my surroundings. Hegot back in the car and handed me a pill. I took itwithout question.That's where everything stopped.To this day, I don't know what kind of pill I real-

ly took. All I know is when I got to my place andcollapsed in bed, all I remember saying was "No."Even now, writing this, I still have some veryexplicit flashbacks, and the one clear thing is Iremember saying "No!"A couple hours later I woke up in my bed naked,

cold, my arms covered in bruises with blankets andpillows on the floor. I was a mess. I got in theshower, crouched down in the corner and just letthe water hit my body. What happened? Why weremy arms covered in bruises? When did I get home?And then it hit me ... I had been raped. It was all soblurry, but the bruises on my arms didn't lie. Istayed in the shower for what seemed like hours. Iwas different now. I was broken. I threw the sheetsoff the bed and into the trash; I lay on the bare mat-tress and cried myself to sleep.I didn't remember the name of the guy who took

me home that night. He could have walked rightpast me, and I would have never known it was him.I tried to reach out to a couple friends the nextweek. I reached out to Amy because she had beenthe one who invited the guys over.I remember her saying, "You know you weren't

raped; why are you are lying?" I was called a "hoe"and a "slut;" I was told I wanted it. I eventuallyreached out to a friend I hadn't spoken to in a while,and she urged me to see a doctor even though it hadbeen a couple days since my rape happened.I had never been taught about rape; I didn't know

what to do, who to turn to, who to talk to. I was lost.I tried to forget it all, chalking it up as a life experi-

ence, and I made myself forget ... or so I thought.After graduating college, I joined the Air Force.

I was at my first duty station and in my brand newapartment – alone again. I started having night-mares, and there were nights I could still see thebruises on my arms. I needed help, but I didn'tknow how or who to ask.I got to work one day and saw an email seeking

victim advocates to work with the Sexual Assaultand Prevention Response program.Great! This was my chance to get help without

really having to tell anyone what happened to me,and maybe, I would have the chance to help some-one else too.I had never dealt with the situation, and I only

blamed myself. I had kept things so far back in mymind that I almost had a nervous breakdown. I hadrandom crying spells at work before anyone camein, and when I got home, all I could do was cry andcry some more. No one around me was aware;that's how well I had taught myself to play the partof the "happy girl."Once I became a part of the SAPR program and

finally told someone what had happened to me, I wasfinally able to begin to heal; I am no longer broken. Iam able to work with other survivors of sexual assaultand help them begin to heal, and it feels good. I hopethat sharing my story reaches at least one person outthere who may have thought they were alone.If you or anyone you know has been a victim of

sexual assault, there are many programs availableto help you. It doesn't matter when it happened: theSARC, victim advocates and chaplains, are all hereto help you heal and overcome.There are many things I could have done differ-

ently that night. Sometimes I sit and I play the sit-uation over and over in my head. I have finallycome to the conclusion that if someone wants to doyou harm, they will find a way no matter what youdo. It wasn't my fault, I was a victim, but now Ihave become a survivor.For more resources and infomration, visit

A particularly poignant moment occurred when Rushnockread the name of Maj. Bernard Fisher, a Medal of Honorrecipient who passed away Aug. 16, 2014. His name is per-manently honored at JB Charleston at the base flag pole onthe Medal of Honor tribute, along with other Air Force Medalof Honor recipients from American conflicts. While stationedat Pleiku AB in 1965, Fisher displayed heroism during thebattle of the A Shau V alley by landing his A-1E Skyraideronto a shrapnel littered runway under intense enemy fire torescue a downed pilot. It was an assignment he volunteeredfor. In 1967, Fisher became the first living Air Force Medal ofHonor recipient when President Lyndon B. Johnson presentedFisher the medal at a White House ceremony. "What Bernie did was absolutely amazing," said Tim

Meighen, Pleiku AB veteran. "It's important we remember hisactions today, along with the heroism of our other fallenmembers." In closing, the group thanked the members of JB

Charleston for their hospitality and took a moment to pray forthe safety and wellbeing of today's military, fighting theirown modern wars.

By Lt. Cmdr. Wes Modder Chaplain, U.S. Navy

"A marathon, for most runners, seems long.But it is always 26.2 miles. Always. Except forthe Lakeshore Marathon held in Chicago onMemorial Day weekend, 2005. That day the 529runners who finished actually ran 27.2 miles,which was one mile more than they were sup-posed to, only nobody told them so at the time.The organizers simply miscalculated where thefinish line should be. The whole race was amess, with missing mile markers and confuseddirections. One woman who had been leadingearly on got completely turned around. "I was soconfused," she said, "I wanted to cry." The organizer, a man named Mark Cihlar,

issued an apology – kind of – on a website."[Last-minute changes] caused us to miscal-culate and we foolishly added an extra mile—how terrible!" Maybe life has been like thatfor you this week. It's tough enough to getthrough a week, and then someone or a situa-tion threw you a curve – or added an extramile. An impossible deadline. Back homemaybe your child is sick. An overdue noticeon a bill. A letter from the I.R.S. or whatever.When you feel like you've been forced to runfarther than anybody should have to, it helpsto remember that God's strength is sufficient,and that those who hope in the Lord willrenew their strength. They will soar on wingslike eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint.

Make sure to go the extra mile

HH-60 Pave Hawks stopby for refueling

By Jim McMurry628th Air Base Wing motorcycle safety manager

A lot has changed in for motorcycle operators during thelast few years. The Department of Defense Instruction 6055.04, DOD

Traffic Safety Program, Incorporating Change 2, Jan. 23,2013, changed the training requirements and PersonalProtective Gear required for active-duty motorcycle operatorsand anyone who operates a motorcycle on a DOD installation. The Air Force followed the DOD Instruction by amending

Air Force Instruction 91-207, The U.S. Air Force TrafficSafety Program, Sept. 12, 2013, to mirror the DOD require-ments.

The Navy, which follows the requirements ofOPNAVINST 5100.12J, Navy Traffic Safety Program, has notchanged since the Navy's requirements were already morerestrictive than the DOD requirements. The Army updatedArmy Regulation 385-10 Nov. 2013, to also mirror the DODInstruction.So, now that all the technicalities are out of the way, what

does this mean to you as a motorcycle operator? First, PPErequirements have changed.

In all services, a DOT, Snell or ECE helmet is required,along with impact resistant eye protection, long sleeve shirt orjacket, long pants, sturdy over-the-ankle footwear and full-fingered gloves made of abrasive resistant materials. Therequirements for upper outer garments to be brightly coloredduring 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 allactive-duty personnel, on or off the installation, for civilianswho ride a motorcycle in the performance of their duties on oroff the installation, and for anyone who operates a motorcycleon a DOD installation.If riding a motorcycle is in your future, your training

requirements are broken down by service branch due to thevariations. Air Force active-duty personnel, must take anapproved basic rider education training course prior to operat-ing a motorcycle. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation BasicRiders Course meets this requirement and is offered on JointBase Charleston. Active-duty personnel with riding experience prior to

entering the military and in possession of a state license witha motorcycle endorsement are not required to take the BRC,

If you're about to retire and want tostreamline the process of filing a medicalclaim with the Department of VeteransAffairs, the Naval Health Clinic Charlestoncan help you do just that. Staff members at NHCC's Patient

Administration Department will scan andupload your entire paper-based medical anddental records into the Health ArtifactsImage Management SolutionsHAIMS creates a fully electronic Service

Treatment Record accessible to the VA,helping improve claims processing time."Naval Health Clinic Charleston has

worked hard to implement this process tobetter serve our fellow service members,"said Petty Officer 2nd Class Jesse Miller,NHCC Patient Administration leading pettyofficer.The STR is a chronology of a service

member's entire and complete medical anddental history, and is required by the VA to

process disability claims and provide veter-ans, retirees or demobilized reservists withproper medical care and benefits. Recently, the Bureau of Medicine and

Surgery released a fleet wide message,NAVADMIN 187/14, mandating all MilitaryTreatment Facilities implement this processfor official retirement of STRs.Prior to separation, servicemembers are

strongly encouraged to request a completecopy of their STR for their personal records,said Miller. A copy can be obtained at themedical records office of the MTF that pro-vides your care. If you're a servicemember who separated

from the military and obtained and kept youroriginal medical and or dental records bymistake, you can turn them in to the NHCCmedical records department to be properlyprocessed and retired to the VA, said Miller.If you have any questions about STR

retirement or if you have your official med-ical and or dental record that still needs to beretired, contact the NHCC outpatient med-ical records staff at 794-6089.

Navy Wives Club of Americainstalls new officers

By Joe PuryearArmy & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs

According to the National Association for ShopliftingPrevention, there are approximately 27 million shoplifters inAmerica, accounting for more than $35 million a day in loss-es. This fact is not lost on retailers such as the the Army & AirForce Exchange Service.While it may not be evident to the naked eye, the JB

Charleston Exchange employs a variety of shoplifting preven-tion measures such as Closed Circuit Televisions with DVRtechnology, high-tech Electronic Article Surveillance and an

aggressive youth awareness campaign to prevent theft. Lastyear, Exchange efforts led to a 52 percent decrease in theft,from 42 incidents in 2012 to 20. Sophisticated anti-shopliftingmeasures are also being cited as a factor in reducing the costsof products involved in detected cases from $2,274.84 to$1,027.10 in 2013. "Shoplifting at the JB Charleston Exchange results in a

reduced return on investment to our primary shareholders -the military community," said the Exchange's GeneralManager, Common Orris. "Because the Exchange is a militaryorganization with a retail mission, those who steal from theExchange are, in essence, stealing from their fellow Airmen

and Sailors. Additionally, since the Exchange is part of theDepartment of Defense, theft from the Exchange is consid-ered larceny of government property." If shoplifting is suspected, the Exchange Loss Prevention

office turns the issue over to the installation's law enforcementauthorities. In addition to possible disciplinary action and/orcriminal prosecution, the Federal Claims Collection Actallows the Exchange to enact a flat, administrative cost (CivilRecovery) of $200. There may be further fees, in addition tothe Civil Recovery Program, depending on the condition ofthe stolen merchandise.
