By Trisha Gallaway Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs As the world watches the Ebola epidemic unfold, Airmen from the 437th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., are in the thick of the fight. Aircrews from the 14th Airlift Squadron and 17th Airlift Squadron were two of the first five crews from Joint Base Charleston that went to Africa in support of Operation United Assistance. The other three missions were carried out by the 315th Airlift Wing. "[Our mission] was to deliver 12 members of the 621st Contingency Response Wing, along with cargo support from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., to Monrovia, Liberia," said Capt. Caroline Tetrick, a pilot with the 17th AS. "It was a complicated upload out of McGuire, with 11 pieces of rolling stock, including generators, four-wheelers and a mobile command center." As Tetrick and her crew were finishing their mission, Capt. David Blankenstein, a pilot from the 14th AS and his crew were on their way into Monrovia from Rota, Spain, with 85,000 pounds of cargo and 19 passengers made up of both medical personnel and civil engineers from the Air Force and Army. "We [transported] multiple containers that will be used as a field hospital," said Blankenstein. "Each container contained a different section of the field hospital. For example, one con- tainer was a kitchen and one was a showering room." The field hospital will be used to provide care for health- care workers should they contract the Ebola virus. While aircrews are required to maintain up-to-date immu- nizations, they were not required to take any additional immu- nizations before traveling to Africa. Crews did however, have to meet with Public Health and receive a briefing prior to departing JB Charleston. "Public Health briefings are standard for crews going to other countries," said Lt. Col. Ray Clydesdale, 628th Aerospace Medicine Squadron commander. The Public Health briefings cover topics ranging from dis- eases, resources for care to the procurement of safe drinking water. "For the affected region, we brief crews on the latest as far as the Ebola threat, but we also brief on Malaria and other diseases endemic to the region as well," said Clydesdale. During the Public Health briefing, crews were instructed on how to use the sterilization and decontamination kits pre- positioned on the aircraft. According to Tetrick, the kits were for "just-in-case" sce- narios and included a jug of bleach, alcohol wipes, gloves and a mask. Blankenstein echoed those sentiments. "The emphasis for these kits was that they would be neces- sary should the need arise to move a patient infected with Ebola," he said. "We were told it would be highly unlikely that we would move infected patients." It was also unlikely the aircrews would come into contact with anyone on the airfield who had been infected with the disease. "We were met at the jet by an American liaison who told us that everyone coming onto the airfield gets their temperature checked daily and no one shakes hands," said Tetrick.

Who is your Wingman?Have you really given this question much

thought? Recently, during preparation for my own feed-

back session using the new AirmanComprehensive Assessment form, I did. Many of us have determined that our spouse,

best friend or even a favorite co-worker is our one-and-only Wingman. But, is this one person reallyin the best position to help you across all aspects ofyour personal and professional life?There are many articles from counselors, life

coaches or other professional/personal mentors onthis subject and these articles have some commonthemes that are useful for this discussion. Here are

a few of them: A Wingman should be able to:- Assess your strengths and weaknesses- Introduce new perspectives - be able to see and

correct wrong thinking- Boost your ability to make decisions and put

your plans into action- Introduce you to important, previously

unknown people and other resourcesIf these are characteristics we should encourage

in choosing a Wingman, it becomes apparent thatwe might actually need multiple Wingmen. Wherea spouse or a friend may be a perfect fit to coversome aspects of your life, they simply may nothave the independent perspective to be much helpin other areas. After all, when your life is experi-encing a crisis - for example, a serious financialissue - it is likely that your spouse or best friend is

also experiencing that crisis with you. Sure, theycan offer some invaluable support, but their ownperspectives are tied up with yours. So, their deci-sions or guidance might not be the best available.It's clear to me that choosing Wingmen requires

some careful thought. Not only do you need topick people you trust, but you may also need todetermine which aspects of your life you wantthose people to help with. I don't think there is aone-size-fits-all answer.Remember the requirements of certain duty

positions and command or supervisor relationshipscan make these choices even harder. Watch out forpeople in leadership positions at every level; theyneed dependable Wingmen too!So, I ask the question again ... who is your

Wingman?

Who is your Wingman?

By Master Sgt. Sonny Cohrs23rd Wing Public Affairs

MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. –I received at least five emails last weekwarning me to secure my social mediasettings and be aware of what I post onFacebook, Twitter and Instagram.Why? Do you not like to see what I had

for dinner last night? Too many #selfies?Are photos of my dog eating a Popsicleoffensive? (In my defense, he's a reallyawesome dog.)No. The warning is because there are

potential threats against Americans,including service members and their fam-ilies, in our homeland. Brutal, violentattacks on innocent civilians have happened here before, and, sadly, may hap-pen again.However, danger doesn't always come in the form of 140 characters on

Twitter. The metadata in your smart phone often includes times, locations andeven GPS coordinates – valuable information for our adversaries.Air Force Instruction 1-1, Air Force Standards, says we are "personally

responsible" for what we post online and that "the use of social media andother forms of communication that allow you to communicate with a largenumber of people brings with it the increased risk of magnifying operationalsecurity lapses."But what can you do to protect yourself from magnifying these security

lapses? Remember your operational security training, always remain vigilant,and, yes, double check your social media settings and practices. It's alsoimportant to become a difficult target. Will "checking in” at your favoriterestaurant make you a target for so-called "lone wolves" supporting theIslamic State of Iraq and the Levant? Possibly. Will posting the dates of yourweeklong family vacation make you a target for criminals to break into yourhouse and rob you? That's more likely, so be smart about what you share

online.The Air Force reminds us not to post information about

deployment departures, locations and ongoing operations.Additionally, you should always screen your followers andrefrain from checking in at places or allowing your friends totag you at locations. And although it should go without saying,never, ever post personally identifiable information online,such as your address, phone number or birthday.As advised, I checked my personal security settings on var-

ious social media sites and found I have some housekeeping formy digital identity. Chances are, you do too. Should I delete mysocial media accounts? Should you? That is a personal decisioneveryone needs to make, but remember once you post some-thing online there is no taking it back. It's out there for theworld to see, regardless of your intended audience.Personally, I continue to use social media because it is the

easiest way to keep up with family and friends across theglobe, especially when deployed. I will, however, routinely check my securitysettings and remember to be smart about what I share. This year, my birthdaypassed with minimal well-wishes online because I removed it from my profile.That's a small price to pay.Historically, we learned "loose lips sink ships" as a way to remind ourselves

of OPSEC measures. Today, this principle is even more vital because mostpeople have the internet in their pocket.Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "Fundamentally, public opinion wins

wars." In a way, the battle against ISIL takes place in the realm of public opin-ion. Our adversaries showed how they can effectively leverage social media toinstill fear in millions of people when they beheaded Westerners and postedthe videos to YouTube.As a public affairs professional, it is my job to help tell the story of

American Airmen and I will continue to do this because I am proud of theaccomplishments we achieve each and every day.It's important for the American people to see us accomplish our duties com-

petently, effectively and proudly – without putting the mission or our wing-men at risk.

Online vigilance helps reduce risk

By Robert FreesAir Mobility Command Cyber, Cyber Threat Analysis & Response Cell

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. – You areconcluding a busy day at work and you receive anauto-email reminder that your ancillary training isdue. After a few minutes of negotiating the train-ing module, you are congratulated on the comple-tion of your annual Information Assurance train-ing. What this means to most is that you are ableto log back on to your government computer andcatch up on unread emails without the risk of beinglocked out tomorrow (in theory). You are now thecyber-savvy user entrusted with the virtual defenseof the government network. Let's step back and look at a day in the life of a

Department of Defense employee and consider themany pitfalls that leave the unsuspecting person atrisk.Your day began 10 minutes before the alarm

went off with the sound of a screaming child com-ing from the baby monitor. While feeding the kids,you open your tablet to check the news, social net-work profile, and/or an e-mail. Your deployedbuddy just posted a 15-mile run around base - whata beast! It looks like you also have an invitationemail from a business networking site you belongto from a job recruiter. Might as well accept it -you might be PCSing soon and your spouse will belooking for a new job.You're dressed and ready to go. Keys, cell-

phone, badges and hat - check! Wait, where's yourwork laptop? Oh, it's in the car outside. Suddenlythe home phone rings before you can leave andyour spouse yells to you to answer it."Hi, I'm a network administrator from your

Internet Service Provider. I'm contacting youbecause we've detected that your computer isinfected with a virus." You hand the phone to yourspouse since you're already late for work. "Canyou take this?" Your spouse asks if it is okay to usethe debit card for purchases at the local homeimprovement store today. With a quick "yup",you're finally out the door.

Driving to work, you decide to make good useof your time by enabling your hands-free device toknock out a few calls. You arrive to work and see100 new unread emails. This will require morecoffee, so you quickly run to get a cup and leaveyour ID card in the workstation unattended...you'llonly be a second. Upon reviewing all those emails,you see a hot task to collect personal data on yourtroops for the new recall roster. You quickly com-pile this information and click send since it wasdue 15 minutes ago. You decide to send it to yourpersonal email as well since it may come in handyduring those unexpected snow storms. Before you know it, lunch time! It's Friday so

you're going to your favorite restaurant. Some ofyour friends may be in the area, so a location"check-in" is a must. Your cell connection seemsto be weak, but luckily you're in a free hotspot area.You log into your bank account and transfer fundsto cover a recent purchase.After returning to work, you notice an e-mail

with the subject title, "Click the link - this is sofunny". It appears to be from a friend. You clickthe link, but it takes you to a weird website. Ohwell, you figure it's just an error or broken link. You finished responding to e-mails and attend a

few meetings, but before you pull your ID card forthe last time that day, you hear that familiar "ping"- looks like ancillary training is due today. Youthink to yourself, this will be easy. I'm very cau-tious of my actions, and I've been around comput-ers long enough to know the safeguards.At this point in the story, it's obvious there are

numerous "cyber" pitfalls that expose us; manytimes we are unsuspecting victims. As the internetof things expands from digital devices to homeappliances, we must be ever vigilant of our actionsonline. So, let's summarize the warning signs andmake recommendations based on best practice.- Baby monitor: All connected devices are vul-

nerable. It's critical to keep devices and computerspatched with the latest device firmware or anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Secure yourhome network with encryption (WPA-2) on yourwireless router.

- Mobile devices: Ensure your devices havemobile device management, strong passwords, andparental controls enabled.- Unsecure Laptop: Since personally identifi-

able information (PII) is the launching point formost hacking activity, leaving your laptop ormobile device unsecured in vehicles or in hotelscould lead to theft and eventually a data breach.Look for laptops with self-encrypting hard drivefeatures and use laptop lockdown cables. - Social Networking: Enable privacy/security

settings, disable GPS locators, avoid posting PII(like home address), and use strong passwords. - Phone scam: Don't fall victim to call scams

looking to gain remote access to your computer orlink to financial accounts.- Passwords: Don't give out your password or

use the same password repeatedly for multipleaccounts. Use a password manager where possibleand two-factor authentication.- Debit card use: Funds in your bank account

are unavailable until a fraudulent charge investiga-tion is resolved. - Wireless phone device: Wireless device is sus-

ceptible to identity detection, location tracking,denial of service, unintended control and access ofdata and voice channels.- Email: Digitally sign and encrypt messages.

When receiving/reading emails, ensure it's rele-vant, expected, addressed properly and digitallysigned. Don't send PII home!- Malicious links/attachments: These can infect

your computer or take you to web pages designedto steal your information. Only click on links fromtrusted sources.- Public Wi-Fi: Hackers can monitor traffic on

legitimate free Wi-Fi hotspots or set up fakehotspots in public places to access your informa-tion. Don't conduct important personal business(like financial transactions) on public Wi-Fi. Please take a moment to recognize National

Cyber Security Awareness Month to reflect on howwe conduct ourselves in cyberspace, and use secu-rity best practices to protect yourself and the gov-ernment. STOP. THINK. CONNECT.

All Department of Defense installations require protectionof people and assets. This is usually done with installationperimeter access control point(s) procedures to make certainpeople have valid identification (identity proofing) and arenot a threat to the installation by checking for records of unac-ceptable character or illegal conduct (vetting). To accomplishthis, Joint Base Charleston checks visitors and contractorsagainst the National Crime Information Center and theTerrorist Screening Database as well as other databases. The threat is real and can happen at any base. From

January 2006 to May 2007, a group of six men conspired toattack and kill Soldiers at Fort Dix, N.J. The group, laterdubbed the "Fort Dix Six" by law enforcement officials,selected the installation from an alleged list of nine possibletargets in the U.S. The Federal Bureau of Investigationplaced the group under surveillance and as a result of a tipfrom a member of the public who "saw something and saidsomething," the attack was thwarted.This investigation revealed one member of the group had

frequent access to Fort Dix as an un-vetted pizza delivery-man. That un-vetted access would have allowed for a success-ful attack had not the citizen who saw something reported it tothe FBI. A key lesson learned for the DOD was the need toproperly identify and vet people who wanted access to aninstallation.Allowing anyone access to our installation without proper-

ly identifying and vetting them to base officials can put lives,property and the mission in jeopardy. This also includes giv-ing someone you might think is authorized to enter the base aride through our access control points without an ID examina-tion. In cases like this, picking up a stranded motorist trying toget to work, the safest course of action is to either confirm theperson has the proper entry credential or drop them off at theVisitor Control Center. The bottom line is no matter how well trained and vigilant

our law enforcement, security and counterterrorism personnelare, they simply cannot be everywhere at all times. The eyesand ears of each member of Team Charleston, as well as those

of our neighbors in the local community, play an absolute cru-cial role in the prevention of terrorism and crime in the lowcountry. Our base populace knows best what activities do ordo not belong in and around their work areas, the installationor within their neighborhoods and communities.On Joint Base Charleston, the Air Force Office of Special

Investigations and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service,with assistance from our Security Forces, manages the EagleEyes program that puts everyone on the antiterrorism team byproviding a 24-hour point of contact for reporting suspiciousactivity. Suspicious activities reported through the Eagle Eyesprogram are immediately shared with local law enforcementagencies, counterterrorism personnel and military command-ers for rapid assessment and investigation. Everyone on JBCharleston is urged to be on the lookout for suspicious activ-ities and to report them immediately to 911 or the SecurityForces' Base Defense Operation Center at 963-3600. Andremember, if you see something, say something.

Time on the ground in Monrovia forTetrick and Blankenship was less than threehours."We were on the ground for a little over

two hours," Tetrick said. "Just long enough tooffload all the cargo and people."Prior to this mission, both aircrews had

never flown into Monrovia before, and forTetrick, aircraft maintenance issues andweather kept her crew on the ground in Rotafor three days, delaying averting their travelto Monrovia."Finally, we made it to Liberia, picking our

way through the dark and around thunder-storms to land at an airfield whose runwaywas not very well maintained and appearedquite old."Tetrick and Blankenstein credit their train-

ing in helping them successfully land inMonrovia."Our training always focuses on supporting

missions anywhere throughout the word,"said Blankenstein. "We fly multiple simula-tors and local flying sorties that focus on the

requirements of operating in and out of unfa-miliar airfields."Tetrick and her crew found other outlying

factors impacted their mission."Some challenges that flying around Africa

can bring include poor radio coverage, lan-guage barriers (many in northwest Africaspeak French) and non-standard aviation pro-cedures," she said.Aircrews stationed at JB Charleston are no

strangers to supporting humanitarian missions."Humanitarian aid and support type mis-

sions are one of the most rewarding missionswe do in the C-17," said Blankenstein. "Italways feels good being able to help otherpeople throughout the world in their time ofneed when given the opportunity."For Tetrick, this type of a mission was a

first for her."It really felt great to be taking part in such

an important cause," she said. "The crew andI felt so proud to be contributing to an inter-national effort to stymie the spread of Ebolaand bring relief to an area of crisis."

After being gone for nearly three years, P-189, a C-17 Globemaster III, was returned toAir Mobility Command's C-17 fleet Oct. 15,at Joint Base Charleston, S.C.General Paul Selva, U.S. Transportation

Command commander, returned the newlyrepaired C-17 to JB Charleston where it willonce again fly as part of the 437th and 315thAirlift Wings. The aircraft sustained major damage in

Afghanistan in 2012, after it slid off the endof an icy runway. In order to return P-189 tothe fleet, Boeing employees were sent there toassist in repair efforts which required morethan 27,000 man hours and 127 major repairjobs utilizing more than 1,200 parts. The air-craft was then flown to the United States forcontinued repairs. Since the plane couldn't bepressurized, Boeing personnel flew the air-craft at a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet ona trip requiring five stops over the course ofsix days.Once back in the United States at the Long

Beach Depot Center, Calif., an additional

23,000 parts and more than 1,200 repair dis-positions were required during a two-yearspan to complete the repairs."It is a magnificent testimony to innovation

and creativity and to the teamwork betweenour Air Force, our Air Force maintainers andthe artisans at Boeing that literally hand-builtthis airplane again," said Selva as headdressed base leadership, community repre-sentatives and crewmembers.The aircrew took delivery of the C-17 from

Boeing in Long Beach.In addition to Selva, the aircrew included

Col. Johnny Lamontagne, 437th Airlift Wingcommander, Maj. Stephen Lee, 14th AirliftSquadron, Capt. Erica Stooksbury, 15thAirlift Squadron, Capt. Christopher Prentiss,16th Airlift Squadron, Senior Airman DanielButler, 17th Airlift Squadron, Airman 1stClass Cory Dye, 17th AS and Staff Sgt. TravisBoyles, 437th Aircraft MaintenanceSquadron."It is great to have P-189 back home in

Charleston," said Lamontagne. "We appreci-ate all the hard work Boeing put into this air-craft and we look forward to getting it backinto the fight."

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – Optional wear of the Navy and com-mand ball caps was authorized Sept. 1 with Navy WorkingUniforms (NSU) (Type I, II and III) as well as with flightsuits, coveralls, Flame Resistant Variant (FRV) coveralls andthe Navy physical training uniform. The Uniform Matters Office continues to receive a large

number of questions and plenty of feedback on the optionalwear of the Navy and command ball caps.Based on your questions, here are the top five things you

need to know about wearing ball caps:1. The Navy ball cap is a seabag-issued item first received

by Sailors at boot camp. Replacements can be purchasedusing the annual clothing replacement allowance for enlistedE1-E6 personnel. It is considered the property of the Sailorupon purchase.

2. The command ball cap is organizational clothing pro-cured by the command (meaning that the supply officer buysthem using operating target (OPTAR) funds) and issued to theSailor by their assigned command. Sailors may purchase com-mand ball caps with their personal funds, just as they purchasecommand badges, patches, belt buckles, and other permissibleuniform items. However, since the command ball cap is not aseabag item, Sailors cannot be required to purchase it.3. If a Sailor is authorized to wear NWUs out in town, he

or she may wear the Navy or command ball cap. Ball capsmay be worn with civilian clothes provided they do not haverank insignia or command titles reflected (i.e. CO, XO, CMC,CHENG, OPS, DECK LCPO, etc.). Command ball caps maysubstitute the Navy logo with the command name and logoand a Sailor's last name can be embroidered centered on theback of the cap in command colors. The ball cap is made ofstandard navy blue wool, synthetic, or blended fabric.

4. Commands may prescribe the eight-point cover with theNWUs for Sailors in formation at a ceremony or formal occa-sion. In this case, the ball cap shouldn't be worn.5. The Navy and command ball caps may be worn with the

NWU, Navy flight suits, navy blue coveralls, flame resistantcoveralls, and the Navy physical training uniform. For more information on uniform regulations and a list of

FAQs relating to the ball caps, visit the Uniform MattersOffice website at: http://www.public.navy.mil/BUPERS-NPC/SUPPORT/UNIFORMS/Pages/FAQs.aspx.Email [email protected] for feedback on uniform mat-

ters and [email protected] for feedback on other person-nel matters. For more news from Chief of Naval Personnel, visit

From Forest City Military Communities

As part of the final development plan for Forest City MilitaryCommunities on the Air Base, utility meters will be installed inall the homes. Forest City Military Communities on the AirBase is now in the final stages of metering the homes. The Air Force Utility Allowance program, or UA, is a pro-

gram created by the Air Force to encourage energy conserva-tion among service members living in privatized housing bykeeping their utility consumption within the average usageamong the same types of homes in their housing area. Oncethe development plan is complete, the intent is for servicemembers to use the utility component of their basic allowancefor housing to cover the utility expense.While programs may differ slightly base-to-base, the prem-

ise is that if a family's utilityconsumption stays within thebaseline average, they willnot incur out-of-pocketexpenses. The UA program

allows for a mock billing period prior to starting the actualbilling process so residents will be introduced to the UA pro-gram. The goal of mock billing is to make residents aware oftheir energy consumption, familiarize them with their utilitystatements, allow them to see how their current consumptionreflects against the baseline average, and to encourage them toreduce energy consumption.Forest City does not expect to begin the UA program at

Joint Base Charleston until late 2015 or even 2016. As thetime for mock billing approaches there will be additionalinformation provided to residents as well as regularly sched-uled community meetings to assure all residents are apprisedof the program, and understand how the UA will affect theirfamily.For questions, contact Forest City at 552-0600.

There is nothing inherently evil withmoney. We need it to function in society. Ithelps to keep our electricity on. It helps topurchase needed items at the exchange.Money helps military bases function, wars tobe fought and jets to fly. However, as a wiseman once said, it is “the love of money [thatis the] root of all kinds of evil.” This type of love is an infatuation, an infat-

uation that wields control over us because it

seems to promise happiness and security. Weserve money by believing the promise and liv-ing by that faith. In other words, we don’t servemoney by implementing our power at its dis-posal for our good. We serve money by doingwhatever is necessary so that money’s powerwill be at our disposal for our good. Ratherthan serving money, we should want to serveour maker. Both can’t be served at the sametime either. To serve our maker will require usto do whatever is necessary so that the powerof our faith will be our disposal for our good.

From 628th Civil Engineer Squadron

Early in the morning of Oct. 8,, 628th Civil EngineerSquadron pest management technicians responded to a callabout a snake on McCombs Way, the popular running trailused for organized PTand recreational useon the Air Base.Anthony Mincey,

the Installation PestManagement coor-dinator with morethan 30 years' experience,identified the snake as aCopperhead, a venomous snake native to the area, andalthough rarely lethal, their bite is extremely painful andrequires emergency medical attention.But copperheads also assist in controlling rodents and large

insects, so the CES team captured and relocated the almosttwo-foot long snake to an appropriate location.According to Mincey, snakes are present in the

LowCountry throughout the year, but are most commonly seenin the early fall months when searching for food to help themsurvive the winter. They can also be seen sun bathing duringthe day due to cooler night temperatures. They are rarely seenon base; in the last 10 years Mincey has only captured onesnake a year on average.The Airmen who reported the snake took the proper steps

when they found the snake; they kept their eyes on it, stayedat a safe distance, and guided fellow runners around the area.Additionally, they did not try to remove the snake themselves,as most people are bitten by copperheads while handling orattempting to kill the snake.If you see a snake:1) Do not touch it2) Stay calm3) Call CE Customer Service at 963-2392 [available 24

hours]4) Keep your eyes on it from a safe distance until assistance

arrivesIf you are bitten by a Copperhead or other poisonous snake:1) Seek emergency medical attention immediately2) Immobilize the area and minimize walking3) Stay calm

Beware a snakein the grass
