Team Charleston parents ... it's time to get readyfor the little monsters your children are going tomorph into once they begin consuming thoseHalloween sweets.

Team Charleston kids ... get ready too. Thiscould be the last chance at gobs of free candy tillChristmas - but don't go running off yet.

Before heading out to trick-or-trick this year,take a minute to think "SAFE HALLOWEEN."

S: Swords, knives, and similar costume acces-sories should be short, soft and flexible.

A: Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Be sure towalk in groups or with a trusted adult.

F: Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bagsto help drivers see trick-or-treaters in the dark.

E: Examine all treats for choking hazards andtampering before consumption. Also, set a limit tothe amount of treats your child can eat.

H: Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating tohelp see and help others see you.

A: Always test make-up in a small area first.Make sure to remove all make-up before bedtimeto prevent skin and eye irritation.

L: Look both ways before crossing the streetand use established crosswalks wherever possible.

L: Lower the risk for serious eye injury by notwearing decorative contact lenses.

O: Only walk on sidewalks or on the far edge ofthe road facing traffic to stay safe.

W: Wear well-fitting masks, costumes and

shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips andfalls.

E: Eat only factory-wrapped treats.Avoid eating homemade treats unlessyou know the cook well.

E: Enter homes only if with a trustedadult, otherwise, stay outside.

N: Never walk near lit candles orluminaries and be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.

Base security forces also recom-mend these additional safety tips fortrick-or-treaters:

• Make a map of your trick-or-treatroute for your parents.

• Stay in your own neighborhood. • Show respect for other people

and their property.

• Don't stop at dark houses. • Do not confront anyone whom

may seem dangerous or hostile. To help keep Team Charleston kids safe and

visible to motorists, the 628th Air Base WingSafety Office will be distributing Halloween bags,glow sticks and glow bracelets Oct. 29 to localschools and base Youth Centers.

Hours for trick-or-treating will differ for the AirBase and Weapons Station. For Team Charlestonfamilies on the Air Base, as in years before, thesecurity forces squadron will be conducting footpatrols in and around base housing areas Saturday,Oct. 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. These are the hoursencouraged for trick-or-treaters. If anyone encoun-

ters problems while trick-or-treating on the AirBase, contact security forces at 963-3600.

Military Ball Committee Chairpersons

The military has always been steeped in cer-emony and the Joint Base Charleston MilitaryBall had plenty of that!

What made this event so different was themarriage of two service’s cultures into onehuge celebration. Military members simplydon’t see this sort of joint celebration at thebase level.

The intricacy of coordination between threeAir Force wings and three Navy componentswas a study in military protocol. Military BallCommittee plank owners knew from the get-gothat undivided teamwork between the serviceswas the only way ahead if we were going topull this thing off.

What was the result? A fantastic spirit ofunity and collaboration between the Navy andAir Force. It took months of preparation tomake the evening a success, both behind thescenes and in the public eye by many unsungheroes. We applaud every team members’efforts from the weekly fundraising activities,right down to the final table setting prepara-tions.

Bringing special meaning to the joint serv-ice event, dynamic speaker Marine Corps Maj.Gen. (Ret.) James Livingston, Medal of Honorrecipient, delivered the heartfelt message to allwho attended to “embrace those service mem-bers returning from deployed locations andunderstand that the freedom we enjoy todayand everyday is due to the sacrifices made bythem and those who served before them.”

As we remember his words, we extend ourthanks to fellow service members who havesacrificed much for freedom and to all thosewho worked to bring our base together on a

night to remember … go Joint BaseCharleston, lead the way!

Effective study habits

As we continue moving into the enlisted promotion testing cycle, Iencourage everyone to read and follow the guidance in Air ForcePamphlet 36-2241, Professional Development Guide, specificallyChapter 1. This chapter outlines all anyone needs to become a success inall testing endeavors.

Section 1C outlines the need to stay motivated, focus attention, deter-mine answers to the question, "What do you want out of life?" and tofeed and develop your mind. These basic tenants are explained and willprovide anyone with a vision for success the roadmap necessary toaccomplish goals. As you continue to read the chapter it will providetips on how to effectively manage time, set up a place that will help youlearn and methods that are conducive to efficient studying and the reten-tion of information.

Section 1D highlights the Military Knowledge and Testing System, orMKTS, and can be viewed at https://www.omsq.af.mil/PD/MKTS.htm.This website shows the results of surveys completed by staff sergeantsthrough chief master sergeants on what they felt were the most impor-tant areas of concern and knowledge affecting the Air Force and is usedas a guide for promotion test development.

Finally, Section 1E will provide you with test-taking tips to help youprepare for and navigate through your promotion exam.

The information in the first chapter of the Professional DevelopmentGuide provides the guidance to achieve a positive testing experience.Additionally, if we apply these principles to our daily lives we can con-quer obstacles to see the way ahead, stay on task and successfully com-plete any endeavor.

As the Air Force continues transforming its cyber opera-tions, the Air Force Network Integration Center and 24th AirForce will change this environment and establish a central-ized user directory and e-mail service for all Air Force net-work users. The goal of this Air Force network migrationproject is to collapse all existing stand-alone environmentsinto a single structure within the AFNet under the operationalcontrol of a single commander.

Starting Nov. 1, Charleston will become the next AMCinstallation to migrate its users to the AFNet, and while thischange is relatively transparent, the migration to centralizedservices will significantly improve network security, stan-dardize the cyber environment and reduce operational costsby eliminating redundant systems and services.

The most visible change to Charleston network users willbe in the format of e-mail addresses. The migration replacesthe old [email protected] e-mail address with astandard [email protected] e-mail address, allowing centralmanagement of these accounts. These addresses are kept forthe duration of a career, employment or affiliation with theAir Force regardless of the organization assigned. The AFNetmigration project builds on the successes of the E-mail forLife program, and as additional bases migrate, it will provideAirmen log-on capability to any connected Air Force com-puter without having to re-register for computer access whendeployed, on temporary duty or during a permanent changeof station.

Simply stated, Airmen will have an account that is alwaysactive, and through the use of their Common Access Card,they will have 24-7, 365 access to e-mail and network serv-ices regardless of their duty location, eliminating the need tode-activate or create accounts.

When will I be migrated (transferred to the AFNet)?

• Units will be migrated in phases - Users will be notifiedof specific dates andtimes with a yellow eAdvisory at 72hours and a RED eAdvisory 24 hours prior to migration.

• Migrations will occur in two phases. Phase 1 will be themigration of your computer and phase 2 will be the actualtransfer of your mailbox.

• Computer migrations will occur between the hours of 11a.m. and 2 p.m. You can continue working during this peri-

od, but we strongly recommend you peri-odically save your work while the migra-tion is in progress. When the migration iscomplete, you’ll see a pop-up notificationfollowed by an automatic computer re-boot with about a 10 minute countdown.Your computer will reboot twice.

• Mailbox migrations can occur any-time after 5 p.m. on your scheduled day.In order to avoid any e-mail service inter-ruptions please ensure you fully under-stand and accomplish important instruc-tions in the yellow and red eAdvisories.

• Blackberry users will receive a target-ed e-mail message with special instruc-tions on how the devices will transfer tothe AFNet.

How to prepare for your mailbox

transfer

• Ensure your mail is not being deliv-ered directly to a personal folder.

• Reboot your computer in the morning during the transferperiod.

• Wait a few minutes for the on screen popup to appear;this signifies your mailbox transfer is in progress.

• If the popup does not appear open outlook; if youreceived the “Mailbox Switch Notification” email, logoff,logon, and wait for the above popup to appear, if not contin-ue with business as usual.

• Once the above tool has completed running, Outlook canbe opened and used as before. Welcome to the AFNet!

What else can I do to prepare?

• Practice good information management, read all AFNetrelated messages and eAdvisories sent out by the 628thCommunications Sq (628 CS/CFP).

• Ensure all desktop computers and laptops are poweredon and plugged into the network as soon as possible. Allmachines need to stay on and plugged into the networkthroughout the migration. If a computer (desktop or laptop)is not connected to the network, it will not be migrated andwill lose connectivity.

What if I’m TDY, on leave, or deployed?

• You will still be migrated, if and only if your mailbox isunder its size limit. You can access your email using OutlookWeb Access (OWA) at (https://charleston.mail.us.af.mil/owa). We recommend you contact the CommunicationsFocal Point at DSN 673-2666 for more information.

While the Joint Base Charleston migration is projectedto take around 47 days, your individual migration canoccur anytime within that window. For planning purpos-es, future eAdvisories will outline your specific migrationdate.

As Joint Base Charleston quickly approaches its pro-jected migration start date, a team of Air Force NetworkIntegration Center and 628th Communications Squadrontechnicians are busy preparing equipment and resources tofacilitate the migration of more than 7,000 users.

Be on the lookout for the yellow and red eAdvisoriesfor more detailed information. For any questions concern-ing the migration, contact the Communications FocalPoint at 963-2666, or by e-mail at [email protected]

AFNET migration begins Nov. 1

To prepare for the AFNet migration, reduce the size of your mailbox. Move oldere-mails to a locally stored personal folder. Accounts exceeding size limits willbe unable to send or receive messages.

MILLINGTON, TENN –

NAVADMINs 332/10, 333/10 and 334/10establish the new business rules forIndividual Augmentation ManpowerManagement, Global War on TerrorismSupport Assignments, and OverseasContingency Operation SupportAssignments respectively.

U.S. Fleet Forces and Navy PersonnelCommand (NPC) conducted a review of

the GSA program to find a solution thataddresses fleet concerns and feedbackfrom Individual Augmentee (IA) Sailorsand their families.

Based on this review, the Navy is imple-menting a new program, OSA, which wasannounced in NAVADMIN 171/10. Thisprogram preserves the best elements ofGSA, addresses fleet and command con-cerns and provides a clearly defined sup-port structure for IA Sailors and their fam-ilies.

The OSA process replaces GSA detail-

ing for enlisted Sailors and becomes effec-tive Nov. 1. GSA detailing continues forofficers. The new OSA process preservescareer choices, volunteerism, and pre-dictability that GSA now provides. It alsoeliminates entitlement inequities,improves fleet readiness, and solidifies IASailor and family support.

OSA business rules highlights include:• Enlisted Sailors can apply for an IA

assignment through the CareerManagement System/Interactive Detailingby selecting "OSA PREFERENCE" 12-to-nine months prior to their projected rota-tion date and prior to negotiating perma-nent change of station orders.

• Sailors will be able to communicatedirectly with a dedicated OSA detailingteam to discuss OSA opportunities anddetails regarding specific assignments.

• OSA orders are executed at the end ofthe Sailor's normal PCS tour. However,Sailors on OSA assignments will be ontemporary additional duty from the exist-ing parent command, which will maintainthe traditional command relationship forSailor and family support.

• If a Sailor elects and is accepted forOSA, they will be administratively extend-ed at their present duty station for the peri-od of the IA assignment plus an additional60 days for rest, relaxation and to preparefor their next PCS move.

• Standard relief requisition proceduresremain in effect to generate a requisitionfor the OSA Sailor at their original project-ed rotation date.

• Although the Sailor remains assignedto the parent command, procedures are inplace to adjust personnel accounting to

count the Sailor as deployed on OSAorders, vice as on board and filling a billet.

• Sailors who volunteer for an OSAassignment will have choice of coastdetailing for their follow-on PCS ordersnegotiation.

• Sailors may request intermediate tem-porary duty orders to facilitate relocationof their family while serving on the OSAtour.

The new business rules for IAMM, perNAVADMIN 332/10, include:

• Sailors will be exempt from a secondIA tour for a three-year period upon suc-cessful completion of any IA tour.

• Sailors must have an end of activeobligated service at least 90 days beyondthe estimated return from the IA.

• Sailors determined to be high yeartenure may volunteer for IA orders provid-ed that a minimum of four months transi-tion exists between return and mandatoryseparation date.

• Sailors who have submitted and beenapproved for retirement may volunteer forIA orders provided that a minimum of fivemonths transition exists between returnand retirement date.

• Sailors must be E-3 or above at thetime of administrative screening.

The changes to the updated GSA busi-ness rules are minor with the highlight thatofficers who complete a GSA tour will beexempt from a second IA tour for a three-year period.

IA business rules released: OSAreplacing GSA for enlisted Sailors

By Eric Sesit


Despite numerous public awarenesscampaigns, many base personnel continueto insist on driving while texting or talkingon cell phones, and despite statistics show-ing seatbelts save lives, many drivers arestill flexing their personal freedom by notwearing proper seatbelt restraints.

In order to combat this disturbing trend,Joint Base Charleston will be implement-ing a new policy dealing with offenders,Nov. 1, 2010.

If caught driving on Joint BaseCharleston, either the Navy or Air Forceside, without a seatbelt, or while texting orusing a cell phone without a hands-freedevice, the consequences will be severe.

The first offense will result in an ArmedForces Traffic Ticket, three driving recordpoints for cell phone infractions, fourpoints for seat belts and an 18-calendarday suspension of driving privileges onany installation.

A second offense will cost an additionalAFTT four-point ticket and a 90-day sus-pension of driving privileges.

If the first two punishments don't get aperson's attention and they are caught athird time, the individual will be hit withan AFTT five-point ticket and a full one-year suspension of driving privileges onany installation.

If at any time an individual is found to beoperating a vehicle while under suspension,an automatic two-year revocation of driving

privileges on any installationwill immediately be invoked.

These measures are insti-tuted to emphasize theimportance of the law andthe safety of all JB CHS mil-itary and civilian members.The policy goes into effectNov. 1, and applies to every-one entering the installations.

Avoid the hassle andhumiliation of not being ableto drive on base. Buckle-upand remember to use a properrestraint device for children.If you have to text or talk onthe phone, pull over or investin a hands-free device.

Texting and chattingwhile driving? Think twice

315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The vice commander of Air Force Reserve Commandhand delivered the Air Force's newest C-17 to the 315thAirlift Wing here Oct. 23.

The aircraft is the 57th Globemaster III to be based atJoint Base Charleston. Flown from Boeing Aircraft in LongBeach, Calif., the aircraft is the 204th to be manufactured atthe Long Beach plant.

Symbolic keys to the jet were presented by AFRC ViceCommander Maj. Gen. Martin Mazick to 315th AirliftWing Commander Col. Steven Chapman, joined by JointBase Charleston Commander Col. Martha Meeker and437th Airlift Wing Commander Col. John Wood on theCharleston flightline for the new arrival.

"This is an amazing airplane and a critical mobility assetfor our country as we go forward," said General Mazick."Global mobility is our business and no one does it betterthan the people who fly these jets."

Joint Base Charleston plays a critical role in air mobilityoperations around the world with thousands of active-duty,Reserve and civilian personnel. As the airframe that makesit possible, the C-17 can carry more than 250,000 pounds ofcargo anywhere in the world. The plane can land and take

off on short fields and provides a tactical advantage in air-lift capability.

A single aircraft takes approximately 213 days to pro-duce, and is made from approximately 29,000 parts, 1.3million fasteners and 120 miles of cable. After the buildingprocess is complete, a paint job takes around a week, andthree more on the ramp are needed before the plane's firstflight.

Before leaving the Long Beach plant, the AFRC vicecommander who was joined by a Reserve aircrew from the300th Airlift Squadron here toured the Boeing facility andthanked the hundreds of workers who produce the planes.

"Thank you for all you do," said Capt. Forest Aspinwallof the 300th Airlift Squadron as he talked with a plant work-er putting together the wings of C-17 under construction."This is an amazing airplane you're building."

In addition to delivering the new airlifter, this flight wasdoubly special for General Mazick, because it was his lastflight as an Air Force pilot before he retires later this year,he said.

"This is my last flight and is very special for me," saidthe general as he spoke with members of the media on handfor the arrival ceremony. "When they called me a fewmonths ago and asked if I would deliver this new jet, I saidabsolutely."

Marrington Elementary School

guidance counselor

Marrington Elementary Schoolrecently instituted a new programtitled, "Virtue of the Month."

Each month, teachers select childrenfrom their classes who best demon-strate a specific character virtue whichthe students have learned about duringclassroom guidance. After their selec-tion, a letter is sent home to the par-ents, informing them that their childhas been honored.

The first featured Virtue of theMonth was "Respect," and at a specialawards assembly, each child received acertificate and a button with his or her"virtue" on it.

Being respectful is a virtue whichwill serve children throughout theirlives, whether in school, a job, or fam-

ily life. The children have demonstrat-ed an understanding that being respect-ful will always be appreciated, recog-nized and rewarded.

Virtue of the Month winners byclass were:

101: Caden Case102: Kayshriion Guillory103: Alfredo Guillory104: Lilly Hopkins105: Dylan Hoover203: Breon Steele204: Lucas Steinbrook205: Lexi Hance302: Ian Maulden303: MacKenzie Booth304: Kyarhea Wathall301: Angel Stark404: Jeremyah Palmer-Scott405: Joshua Zilk401: Daniel Eddy402: Brandon Wood403: Nicholas Miglio

Students learn the virtues of character at Marrington Elementary

By Eric Sesit


We live in a modern world, one in which we strive tomake life easier, safer and more enjoyable. After all, we'reonly here for a short time, so we should make the most of it.Progress in communications, information technology andwarfare is what makes this country the sole superpower in theworld. Why just last month they repaved Redbank Road, adefinite sign of progress.

But what if we wanted to take a step back to a simpler timeand go to a place where we can leave our technological worldbehind and enjoy the natural world in all its pristine glory. Dosuch places even exist anymore?

For those of you unfamiliar with Joint Base Charleston-Weapons Station, as you drive down that freshly pavedRedbank Road, consider making a left turn into a world thatfew people have explored; Marrington Plantation. It's morethan 1,600 acres of pristine woodlands that now serves as oneof the premier military recreational facilities in the world.

In "A History of the lands Occupied by Naval WeaponsStation Charleston," Natural Resource Manager TerrenceLarimer explains that prehistoric Native Americans occupiedthe area we now know as Goose Creek as far back as 1,500BC, although they never established permanent villages.Instead, they followed the seasons, moving across the land asnecessary to grow crops with the changing seasons.

The first European settlers came to the Charleston areaaround 1670. The deep waters of the Cooper River and smallinlets and creeks made the area around Marrington ideal forshipping agricultural goods to the major port of Charlestonwhere they could be shipped back to Europe.

Using slave labor, the inland swamplands were clearedand cultivated for rice production and in fact, many of theearthen banks used to dam the waters are still present on theplantation. Additionally, the banks of the creeks and riversprovided an excellent source of clay used to make bricks thatwould build the numerous plantation houses in the area aswell as being shipped to Charleston for construction there.And although we use the name Marrington, the area wasactually comprised of several different plantations thatchanged hands and boundary lines throughout the years andmerged late in the nineteenth century to become MarringtonPlanatation.

Today, little remains of the plantations that prosperedyears ago. But, hints of this once truly southern way of lifeare still visible, if you know where and what to look for.

If you head down to Mary's landing along Foster creek,evidence of the thriving brick industry can still be foundalong the water's edge. Once productive rice fields are nowfreshwater ponds that no longer produce rice, but instead arehomes for turtles and alligators and snakes. Numerous sitesare prime archaeological areas and must remain undisturbed.In fact, two sites have been recommended as eligible for theNational Record of Historic Places and 33 other sites arepotentially eligible.

But perhaps the best part of Marrington Plantation can befound in its wealth of recreational activities within its bor-ders. Besides the serenity of being in the deep woods so closeto civilization, is the availability of hunting and fishing ,wildlife watching, ball fields, and picnic areas. And don't for-get the yearly Fourth of July Freedom Fest where hundredsof people gather for an all-American celebration including aspectacular fireworks display.

And then there are the trails. Whether you're a hiker,mountain biker or horse lover (stables are available forboarding), the Marrington trails constitute the best multi-usetrail system in the lower part of the state. In addition to moun-tain bikers, dozens of cross-country runners and hikers can beseen on any given afternoon or weekend using the trail sys-tem to keep fit. Of course, you're not going to encounter steepdrops and hills as this is the Lowcountry, but the clearlymarked red loop currently traverses 13 miles of pine andhardwood forests. Cyclists are required to wear helmets andrespect other users of the trail system. Non-DoD personnelusing the trail system are required to have a MarringtonPatron Pass available at the Outdoor Adventure Center.

So when you're looking to unwind a bit by sitting back andlooking at the beautiful scenery of the Lowcountry as it exist-ed hundreds of years ago, or ready to try out that new moun-tain bike by hitting the trails, make it a point to visit one ofthe finest recreation areas the military has to offer.Remember though, you are walking or riding on historicgrounds and respect the plants and wildlife. Also, theNational Historic Preservation Act prohibits the disturbanceor removal of historic artifacts on federal property. So if youcome across arrow heads, bottles, bricks, bullets, coins, pot-tery shards, farming implements, etc., leave them be.

For additional information about recreational activities inthe undeveloped area of Marrington Plantation, call theNatural Resources Office at JB Chs - WS at 764-7951.

Parents and staff from the ChildDevelopment Center, the Youth Centerand Family Child Care gathered at theCharleston Club for a Parent AdvisoryBoard meeting Oct. 21.

The quarterly meetings allow par-ents to give their input and providefeedback on how these programs andactivities are planned and to communi-cate information about current eventsthrough discussion and guest speakers.

"If a parent needs to ask questionsabout signing up his child for a sport orabout general program information, thisis where the parent should come foranswers," said Linda Caldwell, theAirmen and Family Services flightchief, who provides over site for allchildcare services on the airbase.

"The meetings are an open forum,"she said. "They are held primarily forparental involvement."

One of last quarter's topics was toinform parents about the InterstateCompact on Educational Opportunityfor Military Children, an agreementamong states to ensure an easy transi-tion of military children betweenschools when their parents make a per-manent change of station.

"This ensures that a child will notfall behind," said Delores Phelps, direc-tor of the Child Development Center."When a family moves due to a PCS,the Interstate Compact allows a studentto keep his credits and transfer them toa new school."

Other topics dis-cussed included childabuse, bullying andinternet protection. Aparticular concern at thelast quarter meeting washome schooling. At thisquarter's meeting theParent Advisory Boardwas able to shed lighton the subject for thoseinterested in homebased education.

"You can't just start ahome school," Ms.Caldwell said. "It is aprocess that can't bedone overnight."

The process wasexplained during themeeting and is a perfectexample of why themeetings are held, shesaid.

"We want to ensurethat parents receive allthe current informationabout what's going onwith their children," shesaid.

The meetings aren'tonly important for theparents; but they arealso important for thestaff and children, Ms.Caldwell said. Every year there is a par-ent involvement plan that ensures chil-dren are receiving all the benefits of theprograms, she said. Parents need toknow when activities take place, where

they are held, and why.The next meeting will be held in

January 2011 and all parents areencouraged to attend, Ms. Caldwell andMs. Phelps said.

Energy Management Office

Public agencies, utilities and majorcompanies offer many programs forexploring energy options. Energy efficientlights, water saving gadgets and power-miser appliances are often available withgenerous rebates.

These programs helpsave the environment,natural resources andyour budget. The fol-lowing suggestions willincrease your home'scomfort level while sav-ing energy and money.As National EnergyAwareness Monthcomes to a close thisOctober, use these tipsto continue raking in thesavings all year long.

• Check the lights: New bulbs bringquality lighting and use a fraction of theelectricity of incandescent bulbs. Newcompact fluorescent bulbs, or CFLs, areoften cooler bulbs. They do not produce asmuch heat and are safer to use around cur-tains and children.

• Watch the water: A running toilet isannoying and wasteful. A dripping waterfaucet not only keeps people awake, it alsouses hot water causing the water heater tocycle on and off, which wastes energy. Acracked or leaking pipe in the house wasteswater and creates a breeding ground formosquitoes and can damage the homewalls or foundation.

• Max out on insulation: On the next

chilly November day, run your handaround the windows. Feel where cold airmay be coming in. Add weather-strippingor plastic winter window seals available athome improvement stores. If cold air iscoming up along the wallboards, check tosee if the house has settled and opened agap between the foundation and walls. Addcaulk, weather-stripping or foam core

insulation to fill the gaps.This easy chore can dra-matically increase homecomfort, lower utilitybills and keep out bugs.

• Try closing the cur-tains on dark days andkeep them open onsunny days. This easychore takes advantage ofnatural sunlight to heatthe home. Solar energy isfree and easy to for any-

one use to heat their home.

• Invest for comfort: Thermal or elec-tric blankets make for more comfortablesleep at lower room temperatures. Tryinstalling automatic thermostats. They cansave enough energy to pay for themselvesin a season and keep things comfortable indaytime hours. Also, motion switches inbathrooms and utility rooms are a plus.The inexpensive switches turn on whensomeone enters the room, and they turn offwhen its empty.

• Do a walk-through of your house,watching for energy wasters. Drippingfaucets and a draft on a winter day areobvious energy wasters. Everyone knowstheir own house better than anyone, somake it work for energy saving.

will begin reporting to four submarines bythe end of next year, marking a new mile-stone in the 110-year history of the subma-rine force, Navy officials announced lastweek.

Six female officers each will join thecrews of the USS Wyoming, USS Georgia,USS Maine and USS Ohio, Navy SubmarineGroup 10 officials announced in a newsrelease.

Three female officers will be assigned toeach of the subs' two crews.

The Wyoming and the Maine are nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, and theGeorgia and Ohio are nuclear-poweredcruise missile submarines. Submarines ofthese two classes are assigned two full crews,known as blue and gold crews, which rotatebetween sea and shore duty to maximize thetime a submarine can spend in its assignedarea.

Two of the women in each crew will besubmarine officers, and the third female offi-cer will be a warfare-qualified supply officer.They will be assigned to their first submarineduty station after nuclear power school, pro-totype training and the Submarine OfficerBasic Course. They are expected to report totheir assigned submarines beginning inDecember 2011.

Navy Lt. Rebecca Rebarich, the subma-rine group's public affairs officer, said thenew submarine officers were commissionedthrough the U.S. Naval Academy, ROTCprograms and Officer Candidate School. All24 women have been identified and will jointheir new crews at about the same time, butthe Navy is not releasing their names whilethey undergo training.

"We want them to be able to focus on whatthey're doing while they're in training,"Lieutenant Rebarich explained. "Today'sannouncement is part of the process of inte-grating women into submarine crews. This isjust another step."

Submarine Group 10 is commanded byRear Adm. Barry Bruner, who leads theNavy's Women on Submarines Task Force.

The Navy's integration of women intosubmarine crews has been under way sinceDefense Secretary Robert M. Gates notifiedCongress in February the service wanted toadd women to its submarine crews.Following a congressional review, Navy offi-cials announced Apr. 29 they would beginaccepting women's applications for subma-rine officer training.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, a former

Navy surface warfare officer, declared hisgoal of integrating women into the subma-rine forces soon after taking office in May2009. Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of navaloperations, seconded Mabus's initiative. Theadmiral said in a statement released in Sept.2009 that his experience commanding amixed-gender surface-combatant ship makeshim very comfortable integrating womeninto the submarine force.

The Navy first allowed women to serve onsurface noncombatant ships in 1973 and on

surface combatant ships in 1993.

Air Force chief of staff honors

retirees, praises AirmenSAN ANTONIO - The Air Force's top

uniformed officer honored retirees andpraised today's Airmen during a dinner hereOct. 22.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. NortonSchwartz was the guest speaker at the annu-al chairman's dinner at the Air Force Village,an officers' retirement community, in cele-bration of its 40th anniversary.

The general articulated the relationshipbetween Air Force Village, the legacy of thegreater retiree community, and the dedicationof Airmen serving across the world.

"Abiding through the passage of time isthe close association between the Air Force,and Air Force Village, and the greater com-munity of retirees," General Schwartz said."This bond transcends the retiree communi-ty's appreciation for the valiant efforts of theservicemembers who currently serve, or therespect and admiration that active-dutymembers have for those who came before.

"Indeed, this bond unites us, in commoninterest, with the shared imperative ofstrengthening support for military membersand their family members -- past, present andfuture," the general said.

General Schwartz said Airmen today facea number of obstacles that affect the entireAir Force community, and retired service-members continue to make sacrifices to helpthe Air Force meet the demands of the cur-rent mission.

"Many of the challenges that active mem-bers face -- for example, the increasing rolesand responsibilities in the midst of decliningpurchasing power, or longer and more fre-quent deployments -- have a rippling effecton the retiree community," General Schwartzsaid.

This confluence of increased demands andfiscal austerity means that Airmen must findways to offset increasing costs that challengethe service across the board, the general said.

"It is no surprise that retired members ofour Air Force family perceived this need, andstepped in with characteristic selflessness tofulfill it as well," General Schwartz said.

The general thanked retirees for their ded-ication, and reminded them that they contin-ue to play a vital role in today's force.

"Retirees have volunteered hundreds ofthousands of hours serving communities andbases worldwide, saving millions of dollarsto be sure," General Schwartz said. "And Inever tire of reminding our wing command-ers that retired Airmen are still serving, andstill exemplify service before self, in manyextraordinary ways."

General Schwartz also called on Airmencurrently serving in uniform to remember thesacrifices made by those who preceded themin service.

"We owe retirees our gratitude," GeneralSchwartz said. "This is one reason why Ienthusiastically back the efforts of the AirForce Retiree Council, which meets annuallyat the Air Force Personnel Center."

General Schwartz said he attended the37th annual meeting of the council in May,and had the privilege of discussing keyretiree issues and witnessing firsthand thepride, the sincerity and the dedication of its19 members, as they represented the interestsof nearly 790,000 retirees and their survivingspouses.

The general applauded today's Airmen fortheir dedication to the retiree community.

"Despite the nation's economic turmoil,today's Airmen are generous in supportingthe Air Force family," he said. "It is a truetestament of our Airmen's commitment toyou."

General Schwartz also commended thosecurrently serving for continuing to carry outthe commitments and traditions handeddown by their predecessors.

"Today's Airmen perform capably,admirably, and with the utmost of commit-ment, just like you did," the general said."I'm always honored to stand by, with and forthese young men and women, and tonight isno different.

"These Airmen are your legacy – theresults of your leadership, your loyalty, andyour innovation over years of honorableservice," General Schwartz continued. "Andwhen today's Air Force is hailed for its merit,you – the retirees, spouses and extended fam-ily members – share in that praise, because ofthe foundation of success that you helped toestablish."

The general closed by reminding allAirmen, both currently serving and retired,of their common bond, and he made a com-mitment to continue to honor the legacy ofall who have served.

"We all share a unique perspective offaithful service to our country, and to thosewho have served before us," GeneralSchwartz said. "Those currently serving aregrateful for your continued support and, mostimportantly, your example. All those current-ly serving will do our best to continue tomake you proud of the Air Force that youremember so well."

The Patriot • October 29, 2010 19AROUND THE DODSmart Phone App helps

track post-deployment

emotional health WASHINGTON – The Department of

Defense announced the release of a freesmart phone mobile application that willmake it easier for service members and vet-erans to track their emotional health afterdeployments.

The National Center for Telehealth andTechnology developed the T2 MoodTracker to help users monitor trends ofemotions and behaviors from therapy, med-ication, daily experiences and changes intheir environment such as work and home.It can be downloaded throughhttp://www.t2health.org/apps/t2-mood-tracker .

"Therapists and physicians often have torely on patient recall when trying to gatherinformation about symptoms over the pre-vious weeks or months. Research hasshown that information collected after thefact, especially about mood, tends to beinaccurate," said Perry Bosmajian, a psy-chologist with T2. "This application canimprove the quality of the treatments forthe provider and the patient. The bestrecord of an experience is when it's record-ed at the time and place it happens."

The T2 Mood Tracker can record emo-tional experiences from a few days to sev-eral months to see results over time, and theinformation can also be shared with thera-pists and physicians to monitor a patient'sbehavior throughout treatment.

The application is now available forsmart phones using the Android operatingsystem. It is expected to be available foriPhone users early next year.

Located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord,Wash., T2 is a component of the DefenseCenters for Excellence for PsychologicalHealth and Traumatic Brain Injury. Moreinformation about the T2 Mood Tracker isavailable at http://www.t2health.org/appsor contact Joseph Jimenez at 253-968-4880or [email protected].

Poll shows high public

confidence in military WASHINGTON – Americans have

more confidence in the military than theyhave in banks, the media, public schoolsand organized religion, according to arecent national poll.

More than 1,000 adults answered ques-tions about their confidence in 18 U.S.institutions – including the military – forthe Associated Press-National ConstitutionCenter poll, conducted in August by mar-

ket-research firm GfK Roper Public Affairsand Corporate Communications.

In the poll, respondents had more confi-dence in the U.S. military than Congress,state, federal and local governments, theSupreme Court, and print, broadcast andonline news.

On the question of measuring confi-dence in the military, 13 percent of respon-dents were "extremely confident," 30 per-cent were "very confident," and 43 percentwere "somewhat confident. Only 13 per-cent were "not too confident" or not confi-dent at all, and 1 percent "didn't know."

This poll agrees with the results of tworecent annual polls – from Gallup inWashington and Harris Interactive in NewYork – that also show high levels of confi-dence in the U.S. military.

In the July Gallup survey, 76 percent of

people queried said they had a "great deal"or "quite a lot" of confidence in the mili-tary.

The February Harris poll showed 59 per-cent had a "great deal of confidence" in the"people in charge of running" the military.
