By Brigitte Rox

A fresh cast and storyline set the stage for the depot’s future this past April when Corpus Christi Army Depot Commander, Col. Billingsley G. Pogue III, announced a reorganization.

The 2016 Realignment is an incremental series of changes with a season finale scheduled for 1 October 2015: the day of full imple-mentation and first day of Fiscal Year (FY) 2016.

“We’re at a turning point,” the helicopter repair and rebuild facility commander explained. “With fresh leaders and fresh responsibilities come new eyes and new opportunities for improvement and change. I am very optimistic about what we will see from these talented lead-ers.”

According to his memorandum to CCAD directors and staff office chiefs on 14 April 2015, the commander outlined why reorganization

Facing Change:Setting the Stage for CCAD’s Future

was necessary:

CG AMCOM directed that CCAD be organized consis-tent with other Army depots. The decline in workload for current year and FY16 dic-tate that the depot initiate efficiencies and economies in position management to maintain a competitive pric-ing structure. A flatter orga-nizational structure, a higher employee to supervisor ra-tio, and an improved direct to indirect ratio are neces-sary for better communica-tion. Finally, the Depot must be structured to best utilize the newest initiatives in En-terprise Resource Planning.

Appointed as the depot’s Chief of Staff in February, Annette Cross has the hercu-

lean responsibility of executing the 2016 Realignment. The title dis-appeared from CCAD for some years but was restored for the 2016 Realignment. S1 – Human Capital Management will retire by FY16, though the offices within will remain in place with minor changes.

This summer, Cross and the Strategic Governance Board on her team are reviewing the progress made so far and prepping for the next milestones plotted ahead. Key topics under review this month include manpower, position descriptions, and work center structure.

In August, space allocation and relocation plans come into play as staff offices play musical chairs. Job titles and office locations aren’t the only changes. Throughout the depot, offices may encounter a slight name change as well.

“Our leadership team is a healthy mix of wise experience and young enthusiasm—men and women who think and talk solutions, not problems,” said Production Chief Robert (Bob) Sharp in April. The

chief has held his helm since February.

Sharp’s words echo back, referring as much to himself as to the four production directors announced with the reorganization on April 15:

Ricardo (Ric) Rincon, Director of Accessories and Rotor Blades

Marco Garcia, Director of Powertrain

Thomas Sandoval, Director of Production Engineering

Donald (Don) Dawson, Director of Manufacturing Process Produc-tion

“The goal is to make CCAD’s structure resemble other depots in AMC,” said Victor D. Lopez, who regards the realignment as a best fit solution.

“I am excited about the new organization and look forward to being a part of the depot of the future.”

A temporary promotion to Director of S4 Infrastructure Operations this January transformed Lopez’s role after April’s announcement. His directorate absorbed S2 Directorate of Security Operations. Sud-denly, Lopez found himself leading the new Directorate of Infrastruc-ture and Risk Management (DIRM). He was promoted as its director this June.

“What this brings DIRM is an opportunity to streamline many of the processes where three separate divisions previously had responsi-bilities, especially in the area of modernizing the depot.”

“One of my main goals is to reduce time and costs for modernization through effective planning and coordination that will lead to smoother execution of projects. This more cohesive teamwork will also provide for quicker reaction to challenges and project changes,” Lopez said.

“We’re ready for the challenges ahead,” Bob Sharp said this June. “Our workforce is motivated, highly-skilled and dedicated.”

“Now, more than ever, leaders must stay engaged with the work-force, uphold high standards and look to mentor the next generation of leaders,” the Production Chief extolled his directors. “My charge to every one of us is that whatever you do today, do it better than you did yesterday.”

Learn about heat-related illness & how to stay cool & safe this summerBy Dr. Larry Grabhorn and Jose E. Rodriguez

Now is the time to prepare for the high temperatures that kill hundreds of people every year. Extreme heat caused 7,415 heat-related deaths in the United States from 1999 to 2010. Heat-related deaths and illness are preventable, but many people succumb to extreme heat every year.

Stay Cool, Remain Hydrated & Keep Informed Getting too hot can make you sick. You can become ill from the heat if your body can’t compensate for it and prop-erly cool you off. The main things affecting your body’s ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather are:

• High humidity When the humidity is high, sweat won’t evaporate as quickly, which keeps your body from releasing heat as fast as it may need to.

• Personal factors Age, obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, and prescription drug and alcohol use can play a role in whether a person can cool off enough in very hot weather.

Those at highest risk include people 65+, babies and toddler (0-2yrs), and those with chronic diseases or mental illness. Closely monitor high-risk individuals and dependents and ask:

• Are they drinking enough water?• Do they have access to air conditioning?• Do they need help keeping cool?

Take these protective actions to prevent illness or death:

• Stay in air conditioned buildings as much as possible. Contact your local health department or locate an air-conditioned shelter in your area. Air conditioning is the number one protective factor against heat-related illness and death.

• Do not rely on a fan as your primary cooling device.• Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty.• Check on a friend or neighbor and have someone do the same for you.• Don’t use the stove or oven to cook—it will make you and your house hotter.

Even the healthiest people can fall victim to the heat if they participate in strenuous activities during hot weather.

• Limit outdoor activity, especially midday ,when the sun is hottest.• Wear and reapply sunscreen, as indicated on the package.• Pace activity. Start activities slow and pick up the pace gradually.• Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink more. Muscle cramping may be an early sign of

dehydration and heat-related illness.• Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.

If you participate on a sports team that practices during hot weather, protect yourself and look out for your team:

• Schedule workouts and practices earlier or later in the day when the temperature is cooler.• Monitor your teammates’ physical condition every few minutes, and have someone do the same for you.• Seek medical care immediately if you or a teammate has symptoms of heat-related illness.

Keep Your Cool in Hot Weather

Despite extreme summer temperatures that can reach in excess of 104 degrees with the relative humidity, Eric Dougherty wears all required per-sonal protection equipment (PPE) including a respirator, protective suit, gloves and face shield when working on an AH-64D Apache. With eight years of service under his belt, this cool CCADer knows to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated.

Where is your hometown?New Orleans, LA

Can you give us a brief job description and work history?I’ve been at CCAD seven years and am currently serving on the CAMS CADRE Team as Master Data Management Specialist, responsible for all things master data-related. On the team, I also train users on CAMS ,the shop floor automation system. I started on the UH-60 RECAP line. I’ve been on the CAMS CARDE team for one year. I’m originally from New Orleans, LA. I served six years in the US Navy as an electronics technician and search and rescue (SAR) swimmer. It was while on-board aircraft carriers that I was first introduced to military aviation.

What are your day-to-day job challenges?[We are] facing a lot of business decisions that affect the depot with LMP and CAMS and trying to recognize what is going into the new system. We do a lot of system testing, creating scenarios into the test environment that we regularly experience so we can document the reaction. This involves a lot of problem-solving and business decisions and getting everyone involved. One decision we make in CAMS can impact many directorates and divisions. The challenge is working through the problem-solving before introducing the process into the live system. Starting out on the RECAP line, I have an understanding of how CAMS will both benefit the artisans on the shop floor and the managers.

Who has been the biggest influence at CCAD?It is difficult to single out one single person, as I’ve learned so much from many people that have made me who I am today, but I would say Marco Garcia. He has coached me and put me in a position to succeed. Marco believed in me and has been a mentor. I’ve witnessed him work his way to Director of Powertrain, and that’s amazing.

What do you enjoy most about working at CCAD?We are setting the path forward for CCAD. Shop floor automation for the depot will mean we can consolidate all of our legacy systems into one modern system managed by enterprise resource planning, taking what the artisans are doing on the floor and seeing more accurate data for cost and scheduling purposes. Our leadership and higher headquarters will have a better view of our costs, expenditures, and materials. Shop floor automation will facilitate the ability to capture actuals to better forecast future workload. The goal in our business is to break even between program overruns and underruns. I mostly enjoy knowing that we will have a modern enterprise system in place that will perform better cost planning for our customers.

What is your personal professional motto?Going through the UPLIFT program, I’ve been tasked to dive deep into who I am as a leader. For a leadership motto I say “Fall in love with what you do and who you work with, because love is the one and only element that never fails.”

I am aware that the Joint Warfighter in the field—as well as our allies—depend on the aircraft and components we produce here at the depot. I believe it is my personal duty to do all I can in support of these brave men and women. Loyalty to me is how you commit yourself and are true to yourself and to those around you; it’s faithfulness to commitments or obligations. How do you apply Loyalty off-duty? Through my devotion and steadfast commitment to my family and friends.

Sarah Anne Robertson MRP Local Purchase Work Lead

LoyaltyBear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other Soldiers. Bear-ing true faith and allegiance is a matter of believing in and devoting yourself to something or someone. A loyal Soldier is one who sup-ports the leadership and stands up for fellow Soldiers. By wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army you are expressing your loyalty. And by doing your share, you show your loyalty to your unit.

DutyFulfill your obligations. Doing your duty means more than carrying out your assigned tasks. Duty means being able to accomplish tasks as part of a team. The work of the U.S. Army is a complex combination of missions, tasks and responsibilities — all in constant motion. Our work entails building one assignment onto another. You fulfill your obligations as a part of your unit every time you resist the temptation to take “shortcuts” that might undermine the integrity of the final product.

RespectTreat people as they should be treated. In the Soldier’s Code, we pledge to “treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same.” Respect is what allows us to appreciate the best in other people. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. And self-re-spect is a vital ingredient with the Army value of respect, which results from knowing you have put forth your best effort. The Army is one team and each of us has something to contribute.

Selfless ServicePut the welfare of the nation, the Army and your subordinates before your own. Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving your country, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how he or she can add to the effort.

HonorLive up to Army values. The nation’s highest military award is The Medal of Honor. This award goes to Soldiers who make honor a matter of daily living — Sol-diers who develop the habit of being honorable, and solidify that habit with every value choice they make. Honor is a matter of carrying out, acting, and living the values of respect, duty, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and personal courage in everything you do.

IntegrityDo what’s right, legally and morally. Integrity is a quality you develop by adhering to moral principles. It requires that you do and say nothing that deceives others. As your integrity grows, so does the trust others place in you. The more choices you make based on integrity, the more this highly prized value will affect your relationships with family and friends, and, finally, the fundamen-tal acceptance of yourself.

Personal CourageFace fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral). Personal cour-age has long been associated with our Army. With physical courage, it is a matter of enduring phys-ical duress and at times risking personal safety. Facing moral fear or adversity may be a long, slow process of continuing forward on the right path, especially if taking those actions is not popular with others. You can build your person-al courage by daily standing up for and acting upon the things that you know are honorable.

2015 Commander’s Safety Goals

1 INJURIES During FY14, accidental injuries continued to drop. We successfully perpetuated a safe and healthful workplace by identifying, reporting and correcting hazards, by sustaining proficiency through practice and training, and by the individual and collective involvement of the workforce.

GOAL Reduce noise induced hearing loss by 10%. Work-related hearing loss is preventable but it is the leading injury category at the depot. Leaders must enforce hearing protection and seek out ways to reduce dangerous noise levels. Each employee must exercise self responsibility and encourage those around them to do the same.

2 PROPERTY DAMAGE During the same FY14 time period property damages increased both in cost and quantity. Many of these losses would have been avoided by simply following established procedures. At a time when every dollar is scrutinized, we cannot afford to lose revenue to indiscipline.

GOAL Reduce the total cost of accidents by 10%. Disciplined leaders do not accept excuses for deviating from standards. Product quality and product safety are driven by rigid adherence to instructions. With it, unnecessary property damage will decrease.

3 RISK MANAGEMENT Our operational environment is ever changing and we must constantly analyze the hazards in new and innovative ways. Approach safety as an imperative, not just a priority; examine your operations, ensure effective controls are in place, conduct effective training, and never assume unnecessary risk.

GOAL Zero aviation accidents. The very existence of CCAD is rooted in providing our warriors with fully operational aircraft, defect free and safe to fly; therefore, safety of flight is not negotiable. Every single member of the CCAD team is ultimately responsible for the product that leaves our doors and the flight line.

School may be out for kids across the nation, but for Army depot employees in the Upward Leader Investment for Tomorrow (UPLIFT) program, class just started June 9th.

UPLIFT 2015- Group 2 (15-2) is the second group undergoing lead-ership training at the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) this year. The first group, UPLIFT 15-1, is a few months ahead, with classes kicking off on March 10.

The leadership program gives CCAD’s non-supervisory employees an opportunity to engage with their colleagues and mentors in a structured personal and professional leadership development mod-el where they explore leadership concepts and principles from the Army and best business practices.

The course goes a step further than lectures of guiding principles, however. What makes UPLIFT such an effective program is its men-torship program which reinforces traditional apprenticeship method-

CCAD UPLIFT: A Leadership Program By the Workforce For the Workforce

ology. Students are individually paired with a depot leader who serves as a personalized coach, guide and par-agon for that student throughout the length of the program.

By encouraging employees to build the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to lead with confidence, CCAD’s UPLIFT program empowers today’s aspiring Army Civilian super-visors to consider how they can meet the Army’s future objectives.

The Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Command (AMCOM) originat-ed the LIFT/UPLIFT leadership devel-opment program back in 2010 and brought it to CCAD as a pilot, but when Workforce Development Chief Lynn Withers tried to bring the course back for another round, it was no lon-ger available. That’s when she sent Program Manager Manny Guzman on a mission to study the existing course at its source and find a way to bring it back.

Guzman realized that AMCOM’s leadership program wouldn’t work for CCAD. It was geared to meet the General Schedule (GS) work-force at Redstone Arsenal.

“AMCOM is predominantly GS but CCAD is a predominantly WG workforce,” Guzman explained.

CCAD’s Wage-Grade (WG) employees maintain helicopters and parts for the Army’s organic industrial base. Their work is in the pro-duction shops of some of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi’s (NASCC) oldest World War II-era hangars. CCAD would need its own different leadership program tailored specifically to the CCAD workforce and its unique work environment.

Withers, Guzman, and Craig Tuttle, a workforce development instruc-tor who teaches UPLIFT with Guzman, edited and rewrote AMCOM’S entire UPLIFT course to fit the depot, launching the all new CCAD UPLIFT program in November 2013.

“We adapted it to the situations our work leaders face at CCAD,”

Guzman said of the new program.

In fact, the customized program is a living entity. It continues to evolve with each new class, but not just to the tune of leadership needs. One of the most influential sources of change is actually through student feedback.

“Our 15-1 students provided feedback on their UPLIFT Kick-Off class in March which was then incorporated for the 15-2 Kick-off in June,” Guzman offered as an example.

The lesson plan for 15-2 was completely transformed as a result of 15-1 Kick-Off after action reviews (AAR).

“In less than three months, the course content and material for the very next class was already adjusted and effectively improved based solely upon CCAD’s tools and resources for feedback and analysis,” said 15-1 UPLIFT participant, Robert Adams, a Master Data Man-agement Specialist.

The 15-2 students were able to use their classroom time to focus on the most valuable activities; such as the goal-setting workshop,

The goal of the UPLIFT course is to build confident, competent, and agile leaders who:• Model the Army leader competencies and

attributes• Influence, inspire and engage others• Practice ethical leadership principles and

standards• Seek opportunities for organizational change

and improvement• Mentor others; pass it on• Communicate with confidence• Leverage strengths of self and others• Invest in CCAD’s mission, vision, values and

goals• Be proactive and resilient• Be prepared to take on roles and positions of

increased responsibilities

class sponsor orientation and team-building activities.

“The goal setting workshop is essential because it lays the founda-tion upon what UPLIFT is all about,” he said.

Previously-distracting and time-consuming logistics, like material check-outs and pre-testing, were scheduled outside of class.

“This facilitated a much smoother and more effective kick-off,” Ad-ams said.

“As we move through the 15-1 UPLIFT class, more AARs are being submitted, session by session and, with that, the course and sched-ule for 15-2 is being adjusted for success and continuous improve-ment.

Constructive feedback is an essential tool for the students’ growth as well. During 15-1’s June 17th class, UPLIFT students received their multisource assessment feedback by which they’ll measure the status of their professional goals.

Tuttle and Guzman added one of the most successful components of UPLIFT in 2014 when they added mentors to the mix.

“We incorporated a mentorship component to our UPLIFT,” Guzman said.

“Students go out and find a mentor, then the mentor and protégé go through a workshop to prepare them for their partnership for the duration of the course.

“We are getting tremendous response from mentors, as well as from the protégés,” he said. “Mentors say that they learn from it.

Senior managers are stepping up and requesting to be a mentor for the next class. We’re seeing a positive return on that.

Students find similar benefits from the collaboration. The ability to select the right mentor for them gives students an opportunity to learn another area of the depot, or shadow a particular mentor whose leadership style reso-nates with them.

“Connie Salas is my mentor,” said Adams. Salas is CCAD’s Director of Information Technology (IT).

“She has a wide range of experience and provides expert advice while re-maining humble. She reminds me that no matter how high you go, you are always still learning.”

During the course, students develop their own leadership philosophies; then they have to develop a mis-sion, vision and values statement for their current work section.

UPLIFT 15-1 is set to graduate on 14 August in the Wings Auditorium at 9 a.m. The UPLIFT 15-2 graduation is booked at the Catalina Club for 20 November at 9 a.m.

NASCC’s Catalina Club is the main schoolhouse for UPLIFT this year, with classes scheduled for two consecutive workdays each month.

There won’t be another course offering for 2015, but Workforce De-velopment will begin recruiting for the 2016 classes in December. Those interested in taking the course can find the application on the Workforce Development Division’s SharePoint on CCAD’s Portal.

Christine Mackleit (daughter), COL Garner Pogue, James V. Weatherill, Anne Weatherill (wife), and Maryanne Weatherill (daughter).

COL Garner Pogue presented the US Army Avia-tion Broken Wing Award to Mr. James V. Weatherill. While an Army CW2 pilot at Fort Benning, Georgia, 13 Janu-ary 1970, Weatherill was on a UH-1B (Huey) training mission experienced an engine failure during level flight at 2,000 feet over a heavily populated area. He made two 180 degree turns to place the helicopter into the wind and autorotated in an area of 150 square feet, which was covered by two-foot high grass and weeds. It was also bordered on two sides by poles and wires and on the other sides by trees, sloped uphill in the direction of land-ing. Weatherill accomplished the forced landing with only minor damage, displaying extraordinary skill, judgment and technique. Weatherill’s efforts saved lives both in his aircraft and on the ground while preventing further damage to the aircraft. His efforts stand out even more for having been accomplished in an era without advanced avionics, onboard computers, and the other modern systems on to-day’s helicopters.

West Point Students Find Ways to Reduce Cost & Increase Black Hawk Production at CCADBy Brigitte Rox

Since 2013, the United States Military Academy (USMA) has sent some of West Point’s brightest engineering students to the Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) for a chance to shape the future of Army aviation’s premier helicopter maintenance and overhaul facility.

As part of this mutually beneficial program for West Point’s System Engineering cadets, students engage in real-world problem-solving alongside leaders in the Army aviation industry as they prepare for tomorrow’s challenges.

Though this program gives valuable professional and educational experience outside the classroom, West Point cadets aren’t the only ones, who benefit from the internship program. CCAD’s assignments are tailored to respond to actual needs within its organization – needs that, if remedied, could result in better support for depot customers, most of whom serve the American Armed Forces.

This June, Cadets Billingsley (Bill) Pogue IV and Jonathan (Johnny) Mark Griffith spent two weeks away from the Military Academy to work at CCAD as part of their Systems Engineering internship.

As the son of the depot commander, Billingsley Garner Pogue III, and the second of five children, Cadet Bill Pogue may follow the family tradition in Army Aviation as a pilot—but he’s not making any prom-ises just yet. He’s also considering the Corps of Engineers. His time spent at CCAD and at USMA will determine his path.

“Based on the positive experience I have had, this internship is con-firming my decision to declare Systems Engineering as my major,” Pogue said. “My experience and success…will play a role in whether or not I want to be an engineer for the Army.”

Johnny Griffith, a rising Second Class Cadet, has other plans.

“As of now, I do not want to be anything besides an Infantry Officer,” he said. “I would like to branch Infantry and go to the Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course, then to Ranger School, and then to the Special Forces Assessment and Selection. I do not plan on using my Systems Engineering Major immediately after I graduate, but you never know what can happen, right?”

Born and raised in Parker, Colorado, Cadet Griffith was a promising athlete in college and had the opportunity to pursue a career in base-

ball when he shifted gears for USMA.

“I decided that West Point would be a more lasting investment in my life,” he said. “I love West Point. Although challenging, [it] has taught me so much about leadership and how to deal with people.

“The people all are wonderful,” Cadet Griffith said of the CCAD work-force. “I think my favorite part is seeing all the veterans who work here. It is one thing to serve our country while wearing a uniform, but then to go above and beyond after your time is done and work at a place like this is just amazing. Some of these workers are Vietnam veterans who didn’t get treated right when they returned home, but they still are here working and helping in whatever way they can.”

Cadet Pogue shared Griffith’s opinion. “My favorite part about being here was interacting with the people,” he said. “From having a con-versation with someone in Subway to asking different work leaders about their jobs, everyone was extremely kind and welcoming; it was this type of courtesy I will never forget.”

“It is a very pleasant and eye-opening experience to work with ci-vilians as opposed to active duty military,” Griffith said. “They care about their work here and understand the importance of their work, no matter the level.”

The cadets are doing the groundwork for part of a larger project to increase production on CCAD’s UH-60 Black Hawk Recapitalization (recap) Program by 20-25% aircraft per year.

“We are here in the early stages of a multi-year program that will ultimately help CCAD and the Black Hawk recap program,” Cadet Griffith said.

“The project…involves a lot of data collection from all the UH-60 components and steps,” Griffith said. “Our job is to collect data so that, later on, other cadets can build a model to determine the most efficient, cost-effective and practical way to increase production.

“That data will be used later this year and next year by other cadets who are further along in the Systems Engineering major,” Cadet Grif-fith said. “They will help design the most efficient model to enable CCAD to reduce cost and increase production.”

CCAD plays a critical role in maintaining and modernizing the Army’s existing fleet of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. Through the recap program, artisans perform and install the latest structural and tech-nological upgrades to the Black Hawk, giving it an edge in combat on

every mission and extending its life for millions less than the cost of a new helicopter – a strategically economic move for the Department of Defense and the Army.

The commander’s son is hopeful that his and Cadet Griffith’s research will help CCAD’s Industrial Engineering Department in the long run. The two worked closely with the department to detail CCAD’s UH-60 recap program’s value stream.

Despite the critical role their research will play in the future of the Army’s most-utilized helicopter, the cadets were able to take a step back from the books to take in the experience of working at the Ar-my’s organic industrial base for helicopter repair.

“My experience at CCAD has been nothing but fantastic,” Bill Pogue said. “It has been great interacting with so many of the people who work here.

“My overall impression of CCAD is that this is a place where, from top to bottom, everyone cares deeply about the success of the de-pot, and that this success is gained by doing things the right way. It is this type of hard work and dedication that motivates me to be an officer so that I can return the favor for their endless support of our Army.”

The CCAD Tuition Assistance (TA) Program assists employees in ac-ademia who are obtaining skills that will help the depot better serve the Warfighter.

A key factor in gaining approval for each course to get reimbursed under the TA Program is communication between the employee and their supervisor. Employees should discuss their developmental plans and goals with their supervisor well in advance of submitting a request. Conversations might include topics such as professional aspirations, Individual Development Plans (IDPs), career enhancing work assignments, employee contributions to the mission, and links between employee goals and the depot’s business strategies.

The maximum value of tuition assistance employees can be approved to receive are: $2,000 per request (to include tuition fees and books) and $6,000 cumulative per employee, per fiscal year. These limits count against the fiscal year in which the students are reimbursed.

When granting approval, supervisors should consider the training needs that are relevant to the employee’s position as well those as-sociated with CCAD’s mission and goals. In addition, the approval should address and include:

• The degree to which the employing organization (CCAD) can ex-pect to immediately benefit from the requested training

• The planned use of the employee’s new/improved skills (general statements are not acceptable)

• Current year budget allowances for training the workforce (the requesting directorate must fund the training cost).

Position relevance is not the sole determining factor for approval. Re-quested training must develop the employee’s job competence and meet identified mission needs. This program may also be used to provide training for new and future work missions as well as a variety of cross-training requirements.

• All employees may normally receive tuition assistance for cours-es focusing on management, leadership, communication, project

or program management, process improvement, quality assurance, computer training, speaking, writ-ing, listening and reading. In addi-tion employees may receive tuition assistance for courses that will develop skills that will contribute to the overall accomplishment of the depot mission.

• All WG/WL/WS and GS employees in maintenance production/techni-cal positions may normally receive tuition assistance for training related to any CCAD blue collar (direct) work requirement - even for maintenance production and/or technical courses that are unrelated to their present work requirements (e.g., focusing on: measurements, composites, aircraft maintenance, airframes and/or power plants, corrosion prevention and control, balanc-ing, inspection, trouble shooting, non-destructive testing, solder-ing, surface preparation, electricity and electronics, or schemat-ics and blueprints).

Requests are considered on a case-by-case, course-by-course basis. Each employee must submit an individual request for each course to allow the approving officials to base decisions on the merit of each request.

Additional information regarding the CCAD Tuition Assistance Pro-gram may be found in CCAD Regulation 350-10, CCAD Employee Training Program (posted under Publications on the CCAD Intranet).

If you have any questions or need additional information, please con-tact the Skills & Development Division or stop by the CCAD Learning Center located in Building 1260.

In the grand scheme of things, Marvel’s “Armored Avenger” really has nothing on CCADers Fred Mehary and Nicolas Fera-ci, two real-life ironmen who pack some heavy “mettle”! Though their individual jour-neys and challenges were quite different, both remarkable men embody the CCAD Army Val-ues of Duty, Selfless Service, and Personal Courage.

The full Ironman Triathlon is considered by many to be one of the most difficult one-day sporting events in the world— a series of long-distance races consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a mara-thon 26.2-mile run, raced in that order and without a break, com-pleted in under 17 hours. Fred, a Division Chief in Metal Process-ing, finished a full Ironman competition on May 16th of this year in Woodlands, TX. Nick, a Quality Control Inspector working on the OH-58 program in Hangar 45 since 2010, has already finished two half-Ironman competitions and is training for the full distance event later this year.

Finishing the Ironman triathlon—full or half—seems a colossal feat in and of itself, yet Fred Mehary overcame an even greater challenge and defied what many would think is impossible. He overcame a debilitating condition which would have stopped many from under-taking even one event-- and refused let it define his life. As he battled to push through not only the normal fatigue which plagued other Ironman competitors, Fred also fought the exhaustion caused by an inherited condition called beta thalassemia, a condition carried by the

sickle cell gene. The major symptom of the disorder is low levels of hemoglobin that lead to a lack of oxygen in many parts of the body. Affected individuals also have a shortage of red blood cells (anemia), which can cause weakness, fatigue, and more serious complica-tions. As I interviewed Mehary, I became more intrigued by the sheer hard work and willpower he must have to develop the physical con-dition, mental toughness, and remarkable warrior ethos that brought him across the finish line well under the time limit.

Preparation for the Ironman isn’t something you can fake or get by

Ironmen of CCAD Inspire Us All

Ironman Triathlon Quick FactsAn Ironman Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run, raced in that order and without a break.

The Ironman Triathlon began on the Hawaiian island of Oahu in 1978.

The Military Teams division was established in 1987 with the Navy winning the first-ever competition.

In 1979, Lyn Lemaire became the first female to participate in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship. Her 12:55:38 finish placed her fifth, overall.

The youngest finisher ever was 14-year-old Rodkey Faust from Rathdrum, Idaho, who completed the February 1982 Ironman Triathlon World Championship in 13:36:17.

The oldest person to ever set a record in Kona was 75-year-old Jim Ward. His 15:51:46 record for the 75-79 age group set in 1992 still stands

on with sporadic or little training. Not so much an event as a lifestyle requiring long-term dedication, competing in the Ironman triathlon requires a serious commitment of time. Even the most minimalist Ironman training schedule requires at least 12 to 16 hours every week. This usually translates to two hours a day, six days a week, with a single rest day.

Training sessions of swimming, biking, and running, referred to as “bricks” by Ironman athletes, aren’t the only commitment involved. “Nutrition,” Mehary states, “is really like a fourth discipline. Not just while training, but also during the race itself.”

Feraci echoes the sentiment, “Even if you are in great shape you can end up having a terrible race if you get your hydration, nutrition, or sodi-um intake wrong.”

I spoke with Mehary and Feraci about their training schedule. Entering my office, both men displayed a confi-dent-yet-humble smile and easy manner that reflected no bravado. Though both were eager to share their journey through the condi-tioning process, I was im-pressed with the sense that neither took themselves too seriously—speaking about

the competitions as if their recent herculean accomplishments were just another day.

The two made one thing clear: preparing meals and planning training when you have a full-time job requires additional effort, discipline and excellent time-management skills.

“It is all about the individual. You compete alone,” says Feraci, “even though there are others on the course with you, they run their own race—it’s all about you and what’s inside you.” Time away from family and friends is a painful necessity. In fact, it is difficult to spend as much time as you like with your spouse/partner, children, family, and (non-triathlete) friends unless they also train.

Fred Mehary credits the support of his wife, Beverly (a CCAD Admin-istrative Officer), and step-children for his success in the competi-tion. He incorporated his family into aspects of his training. Before he heard of the Ironman challenge, he trained with his family as a team for the “tough mudder” race. This sparked his interest in chal-lenging himself through three Spartan races before he undertook the granddaddy of triathlons—the Ironman.

Nick Feraci surrounds himself with friends in the Coastal Bend who share his passion for physical fitness, man of which are triathletes. He enjoys running with his girlfriend, an avid marathon runner her-self. He emphasized the importance of family support, recollecting the time he finished an Ironman competition in his hometown of New Orleans surrounded by family and friends.

A passion for family and fitness is not all the two athletes have in common. Both possess a keen sense of community identity and drive to make a difference in the world around them—a sense of Selfless Service.

Fred Mehary opted to run the Ironman Triathlon for the benefit of Save the Children foundation, an international organization known for its charity work in disaster relief and educational causes. A ten-year veteran serving as an Airborne Combat Medic in the US Army, Mehary seems have a calling to help others.

Nick Feraci shares this contagious enthusiasm for helping others. When asked if he would consider weighing in on health and physical well-being in future issues of the Aircraftsman he answered, “I’d be willing to add wherever I can be useful. I like helping people achieve their goals. It inspires me to work harder.”

Although only a small portion of the population ever compete in, or finish an Ironman competition, we can all find inspiration in the accomplishments of these two remarkable triathletes. Both CCAD ironmen encourage organizational and community focus on health and well-being—even on a small scale.

Feraci mentions the benefits of physical fitness in his everyday work, “I feel great! When I eat planned, healthy meals and work out, it gives

me energy throughout the day.”

I consider his wisdom as I stifle a post-lunch yawn and eye the cof-feepot.

“Pick something (a physical activity) you enjoy and let it be the ac-tivity you use to get in shape. You don’t have to start out huge,” suggests Mehary. “I started with just a 5K run and built from there.”

Perhaps a 5-minute walk and some stretches at my workstation would be a good first step.

Hurricane Season PreparednessFortunately for decades South Texas has not experienced a hurricane. But as the recent heavy rains demonstrated, inclement weather can quickly develop.

Creating an emergency checklist, having hurricane-proof household items and charging electronics are also a few additional things homeowners should be reminded of.

Because it’s always better to be safe than sorry, here are some things you should do to prepare before the storms hit this hurricane season.

Have clean itemsIn case of a power outage make sure to have clean laundry and dish-es ahead of time. If the power goes out for several days you’ll be stuck with dirty items and won’t be able to clean them.

Charge your electronicsPower outages are very likely to happen during a hurricane, so you need to make sure all your electronics are charged. That includes laptops, smartphones, tablets and even gaming consoles for the children. Your phone will definitely need to be charged in case you need to make an emergency call. Make sure to also have extra batteries.

Have a generatorHave an automatic standby house generator installed. Flash-lights, candles and portable generators can only get you so far during an extended power outage. Portable generators can be a good temporary solution, but they are more dangerous than a standby generator. Portable generator need to be filled with gas and can easily electrocute someone if they’re near water. If you do buy a portable generator make sure to know of all the risks it poses. However, automatic home generators, such as Generac’s Guardian Series, can automatically turn on when the power goes out, and remain on until power is restored.

Make your home hurricane-proofIf you live in a hurricane zone you might want to invest in hurricane-proof win-dows. If you don’t have the funds to do so, then make sure to have an extra supply of towels and duct tape that can act as an extra barrier to keep water from seeping into your house. However, boarding won’t guarantee that window glass will shatter.

Medicine KitHaving an extra supply of medicine

is extremely important during extended power outages and intense storms. Anybody

who’s prescribed a specific medicine should be thinking about having extra supply and a first aid emergency kit.

Make a pre-season inspectionBefore the hurricane season begins

on June 1 it’s smart to inspect your home for potential hazards. Remove

outdoor items such as lawn furni-ture, toys, trash cans and weak tree branches that could po-tentially become airborne and cause a wreck.

Have an entertainment boxOnce you’ve done all the oth-er important tasks, maybe consider putting together a box filled with playing cards,

reading books and board games. Having some type of

entertainment will keep your family’s mind off the storm and

stressful situation.
