Naval Health Clinic Charleston recently earned the GoldStar, 2014 Blue-H - Navy Surgeon General's HealthPromotion and Wellness Award."I am honored to receive this award on behalf of the Naval

Health Clinic Charleston team," said NHCC CommandingOfficer Capt. Elizabeth Maley. "It truly represents the staff'sdedication to our beneficiaries and a commitment to wellness.Our goal is to facilitate healthy lifestyle decisions in both ourstaff and beneficiairies."The Blue-H encourages and rewards the promotion of health

and wellness in activities throughout the Department of theNavy and the Marine Corps,. Such activitieswhich are criticalto maintaining a fit and ready force. This annual award isearned at three levels: Bronze Anchor, Silver Eagle and GoldStar. Each command that applies receives at least the BronzeAnchor. To earn the Silver Eagle, a command must score atleast 50 points in every category, and the Gold Star levelrequires commands to achieve a minimum of 80 percent of totalavailable points. The Medical Treatment Facility category rec-ognizes excellence in clinical primary prevention services,community health promotion and medical staff management."Receiving the Blue-H award in itself is an honor, but to

receive the Gold Star validates a commitment from the organ-ization at all levels that we are proactive in ensuring the healthand well-being of our patient population, including our ownstaff," said Capt. Danny Denton, director, Public HealthServices, Naval Health Clinic Charleston. "This requires agreat deal of effort and coordination, but the true reward isseeing a change in lifestyles that promote healthy living." Linda Washington, NHCC clinical nutritionist and

Wellness coordinator, spearheaded efforts for NHCC to earnthe prestigious award, but gives crediting her to fellow staffmembers for their collaborative efforts.

"Winning this award is areflection of a great team ofpeople in our command,"said Washington. "This is agreat way to recognize themfor their hard work and toput their accomplishmentson a platform."Topics assessed by Blue

H criteria include responsi-ble drinking, injury preven-tion, nutrition, physicalactivity, psychologicalhealth, sexual health, tobac-co prevention and cessation,and weight management."Wellness is the state of

emotional, social, and physi-cal well-being," saidWashington. "The WellnessDepartment is a tool foractive duty, civilians, andbeneficiaries to be remindedof the importance of well-ness in their lives."The NHCC Wellness

department sees more than150 patients on a monthlybasis. The department'sweight management and tobacco cessation programs, amongothers, have achieved high success rates. Washington person-ally assisted a handful of NHCC beneficiaries into losinge 100pounds each.Washington said patient motivation is key to the success of

the Wellness programs."Our patients receive one-on-one, personalized care

throughout the process," said Washington. "We also post con-gratulatory photos on our department wall when patients meettheir goals. We find ways to keep our patients motivated."However,But it's not the recognition that inspires the

NHCC staff members to give their all to their patients, saidWashington."We don't do it for the award," said Washington. "We do it

because this (work) is what we love to do."

WEEKEND WEATHER UPDATE

for Joint Base Charleston, SC

By Capt. Brian Walker, USAF437th Airlift Wing

Members of the 437th Airlift Wing and the 315th Airlift Wingrecently transported Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to the MiddleEast to meet with regional leaders.Twenty-two aircrew members from Joint Base Charleston, includ-

ing many currently deployed to undisclosed locations, participated inthe trip which took Secretary Carter to Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia,and Iraq. During the week-long visit, Carter met with Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammadbin Nayef, and Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to discuss inter-national security concerns.This mission was the first time many of the aircrew had transported

a senior level government official."It was amazing to be an active participant in the government's

international relations," said 1st Lt. Justin Cherry, a 16th AirliftSquadron co-pilot on one of the C-17s. "It's great to be able to say 'Ihelped improve our diplomatic relations with many of the U.S. gov-ernment's key allies."Transportation of senior government leaders requires significant

coordination and is by no means a routine mission. Aircrew and mis-sion planners were required to work quickly to organize the secretary'svisit since the trip was announced less than one week prior to hisdeparture."We had to scramble to put this mission together," said Maj. Matt

Garcia, a member of the 437th Airlift Wing's Commander's ActionGroup and the mission commander for Carter's trip. "Such a high vis-ibility [distinguished visitor] movement like this usually is plannedweeks in advance and we had only a few days. In the end, our aircrewreally pulled together and worked to ensure our leaders got to wherethey were needed."Such hard work does not go unrecognized. As a thank you for their

hard work, Carter presented each aircrew member with his personalcoin, a significant honor for members in the military. Colonel JimmyCanlas, the 437th Airlift Wing vice commander echoed the SECDEF'spraise."I am incredibly proud of the job well done by our men and women

of the 437th Airlift Wing and our 315th Airlift Wing partners," he said."It was a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to transportSecretary Carter and our Airmen performed brilliantly."

Service to nation: 225 years strongBy LTJG Katie BraynardU.S. Coast Guard

This week, the U.S. Coast Guard celebrates 225 years of Service toNation. Over the past 225 years, the service has grown and adapted tothe changing needs of our Nation. As the Coast Guard looks to thefuture, we celebrate our legacy, partnerships and celebrate how far wehave come as a service. Join us in celebrating the Coast Guard’s 225thbirthday throughout the rest of the year using #CG225th!

From the first lifesaving stations on the shores of Massachusettswhere crewmen rowed small, wooden boats into overpowering surf inhopes of rescuing people from storm-battered ships to the Coast Guard’snewest, largest and most technologically advanced 418-foot nationalsecurity cutters designed to conduct multiple Coast Guard missionsaround the world, the Coast Guard has been there.Brave Coast Guard men and women like Signalman 1st Class Douglas

Munro, who died evacuating Marines from Guadalcanal during WorldWar II, and Lighthouse Keeper Ida Lewis, who is credited with savingthe lives of at least 18 people during her 39 years of service at LimeRock Light in Rhode Island, have dotted the Coast Guard’s 225 years ofservice.When President George Washington passed the Tariff Act on Aug. 4,

1790, he likely didn’t know that the bill submitted by Secretary of theTreasury Alexander Hamilton would create a service that would outlastthe trials and tribulations of the nascent country, growing into thenation’s premier maritime law enforcement service.

With the passing of this bill, Hamilton was given the authority tobuild 10 cutters to protect the Nation’s lifeblood, our revenue. These 10single-masted sailing ships, estimated to cost only $1,000 each, becameknown as the Revenue Cutters that marked the creation of our sea-goingservice.The Coast Guard traces its roots to this day and celebrates the founda-

tion laid by these early revenue cutters and the crews that selflesslyserved to protect our shores and guard the revenue that kept our countrystrong.As the Nation grew, so did the Coast Guard. Over the past 225 years,

Coast Guard missions have grown from enforcing revenue laws to ensur-ing maritime safety, security and stewardship along our shores andacross the globe.“The Coast Guard is more relevant today than at any time in our 225-

year history,” said Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Paul Zukunft.“Transnational criminal organizations use drug profits to destabilize gov-ernments in our hemisphere. Our nation’s resurgence in American energyproduction has increased the flow of maritime commerce on our water-ways. There is increased human activity in the Arctic and cyber threatsendanger our digital systems. We are evolving to meet these challengesand invest in a 21st century Coast Guard that will continue our service tonation that is 225 years strong.”The Coast Guard continues to celebrate the legacy of its formative

services and the heroism of those who served. Our missions may havechanged over the years, but one thing has remained constant: the selflessservice of each and every person that takes the oath to protect their coun-try as part of the U.S. Coast Guard.

COMMENTARY

Don’t forget the power of praiseBy Command CMSgt. Mark Bronson628th Air Base Wing

Recently, my Commander and I were asked togo to a civilian agency to present certificates ofappreciation to employees who had traveled fromanother base to help with renovations at JBCharleston. As I inquired more about why theemployees were being recognized, it seemed tome that, while they had performed well, they haddone what they were paid to do. The "award" was a certificate the manager cre-

ated and packaged in a nice folder to present tothe employees. Again, I was trying to understandwhy we were making a big deal about the servicethe employees provided, so I inquired a little fur-ther. The manager stressed their great attitudes,how efficiently they completed their tasks and theknowledge they brought to the project. It wasstarting to make a little more sense to me but Istill didn't completely understand. We walked to a small office in the back of the

building. With the local staff around the periph-ery of the office and the "on loan" employeesalong the back wall, the manager began to speak.

She thanked the awardees for their commitmentand dedication to the project. She emphasizedthat without these individuals the project wouldnot have been completed as quickly, efficiently orsmoothly as it had been done. She called the first person forward to receive

her certificate. The typical "grip and grin" photoopportunity took place – but then something hap-pened I hadn't expected. Tears started to flowfrom the eyes of the award recipient. The nextemployee came forward with the same results. Ilooked around the room and saw the flood ofemotions from the permanent employees andthose that were receiving recognition that day –almost all of them were crying. You see, they had poured their heart and soul

into this project. They worked extra hard to do itright, quickly and with a great attitude. Beingrecognized for their efforts meant the world tothem. There were several minutes of crying andhugging with the "on loan" employees saying"thank you" over and over again. It was a lesson I had learned a long time ago

that was reinforced in that moment. A small noteof thanks, a pat on the back or a more formal

form of recognition goes a long way when some-one has done an extraordinary job.

At a training course I attended last year, anexample was given that validated this principle.A large company spent a lot of money to researchwhat made their employees happy. The first year,every employee completed a 50 question survey,the next year 25 questions and then 10 the next.After several years of investigation and question-naires, the results indicated employee motivationboiled down to one thing. No, it wasn't money orpromotions, although those are certainly motiva-tors. Employee satisfaction was highest whenthey had a strong sense that what they do isimportant. Did their work have value and arethey valued for doing that work? Such a simplething yet, sometimes it gets neglected. I understand at every level we are busier than

we have ever been. However, I issue this challengeto you. Seek out opportunities to praise or thanksomeone. It can be via an e-mail, a written note, aspecial coin, a pat on the back or a more officialavenue such as submitting them for an award.Whatever the method, I guarantee those you servewill appreciate it and be more motivated.

By Airman 1st Class Thomas T. CharltonJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Walking through the doors, work stations andequipment are evident throughout the room.From the angled trampoline, to the coloredbands, to the free weights, it all has its place andpurpose. At the main desk is a smiling Airmanensuring you receive any needed assistance.The medical operations squadron in the

628th Medical Group on Joint Base Charlestonhas a team of four physical therapists, whosepassion it is to get people back on their feetfrom just about any physical injury.Staff Sgt. Jake Wielgosiek, a physical med-

icine technician at the 628th MDG, has beenworking in the medical field for seven years.Although he has been stationed at Joint BaseCharleston for the past two years, his firstduty station was at Wright Patterson AirForce Base in Dayton, Ohio."Going to my first duty station was hectic,"

Wielgosiek said. "Just out of tech school, Iimmediately began working with six to sevenorthopedic surgery patients and receiving alot of on the job training."At Joint Base Charleston the job continues at

a frenetic pace but he still enjoys what he does."I love my job," he said. "Every day is dif-

ferent. You constantly get to help people. Thebiggest reward is seeing people get back totheir job within five to six visits. You arealways getting new patients with new chal-lenges, which I love."By working with a wide variety of patients,

Wielgosiek deals with minor, everydayissues, to the more major, complex injuries."I had an individual whose middle finger

extender tendon popped," Wielgosiek said,"And two minutes later his ring finger exten-der tendon popped. When they popped, itstuck his two fingers in a sort of 'L' shapewith his hand. I had a surgeon take a flexingtendon from the middle and ring finger and,rerouted them to where the patient's flexingtendons became extender tendons. When wewere conducting the patient's physical thera-py, we explained to him if he wanted to flexor extend he had to tell his mind to do it. Ittook him a year to get his neural pathway tothink that way."With such a high dedication to his work

and enjoying it as much as he does, it is amaz-ing to think that Wielgosiek wasn't planningon a medical career at all."When I first talked to my recruiter, med-

ical wasn't even on my mind," he said. "Iwanted to be a fire fighter or anything special

operations. However, when Iwent through MEPS, I found outI was color blind. They thenshowed me a list of jobs I stillqualified for and I saw physicaltherapy. I was huge intoweightlifting so I thought it wasa good job to get into. It was theright choice, I love what I do."Before joining the military,

Wielgosiek said that he had alife-long fear of hospitals. It isquite ironic for him to be work-ing in and loving every bit of thehospital environment now. Andhe isn't the only one either.Captain Josh Van

Wyngaarden, the flight com-mander for the MDOS in the

628th MDG, has the same level ofdedication as Wielgosiek. LikeWielgosiek, Van Wyngaarden hasbeen here for two years, withWright Patterson AFB as his pre-vious duty station."I always had an interest in

anatomy and physiology in highschool," Van Wyngaarden said,"and I have the type of mentality tohelp people. Because of that Ithought medical would be a goodfit for me. After shadowing thisfield, I found physical therapy to bemore sports based and I connectedto that the most."Finding his niche in the medical

field, Van Wyngaarden has treatedsome unique patients beyond thestandard icing and stretching."The craziest thing I've seen

was an aneurysm in a man'sabdomen," said Van Wyngaarden."He was referred to me for lowerback pain. After treating him Ithought, 'This doesn't just add upto just back pain,' and I thought itmight be an aneurysm. After tak-ing some tests, it turns out therewas an aortic aneurysm in hisabdomen that was two and a halftimes the size it should have been. The patientneeded immediate treatment. We removed theaneurysm, saving the guys life."Being a flight commander at JB

Charleston, Van Wyngaarden ensures theAirmen and civilians he supervises get asmuch outside and non-patient treatment expe-rience as possible."I advocate for them to do duties they want

to get involved in," he said. "I want to givethem the opportunity to show their potential. Idon't just throw work at them. I want them tosoar in all of their abilities and get a more well-rounded experience."While looking out for his staff, Van

Wyngaarden has some personal goals andwants to take advantage of some opportu-

nities as well."An opportunity that caught my eye

recently was for Air Force physical therapiststo embed with special operations groups,"Van Wyngaarden said. "I would love to dothat because you get to go on some of thedeployments with those individuals. You getto work with a very athletic group whichwould be like working for a professional ath-letic team. That's something I have alwayswanted to do."The professional individuals of the 628th

MDG, working together as a team, ensuremission readiness for JB Charleston. Theirdedication and attention to detail enablepatients to continue their careers with little tono physical limitation.

Supposedly competition is healthy. Oursociety has established competition for almosteverything. In children's sports, there is a high expecta-

tion for competition but everyone gets a tro-phy. When transitioning to adulthood, somebecome so used to getting the trophy they arewilling to do anything for the prize.

Our desire to win can cloud our integrityand cause us to justify our decisions with adesire to be the best. When this happens, it hasa major spiritual impact in our lives.This impact is mitigated only when the

issue is confronted and we've confessed ourwrongdoings. Then the burden of carrying adistorted "secret to success" can be lifted. Starting with integrity and being honest,

regardless of the outcome, can be the mostrewarding prize.

The most rewarding prize
