WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air Force se-nior leadership announced enhancementsto the Air Force’s Physical Fitness Assess-ment program, to be implemented Oct. 1.

In a letter to Airmen Aug. 20, Air ForceChief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III ex-plained the results of the comprehensivereview, highlighting the strength of the pro-gram and the need for slight improvements.

“We have a tremendous program thathas fundamentally changed the Air Force’soverall fitness level over the past few years,”Welsh said. “The PFT itself is not going tochange. But even the best program can beimproved upon, so we are making changesin four different areas to enhance the overallprogram.”

Of the changes coming Oct. 1, the mostsignificant is to the abdominal circumfer-ence portion of the test. The AC assesses anAirman’s body composition.

Since the Air Force implemented thenewest fitness program guidelines in Octo-ber 2010, only .03 percent of Airmen havefailed the AC portion of the test and passedthe other three components with a compos-ite score of 75 or higher.

“In the future, if an Airman fails the ACportion of the test, and passes each of theother three components, we’ll measure thatAirman using the Body Mass Index tapingguidance in DoD instructions,” Welsh said.“If the Airmanmeets the DoD BMI standard,they pass the PFT.”

Because AC measurement is integratedinto the testing procedure, the Air Force iscurrently the only branch of the Departmentof Defense not required to have a separate

weight management program.The other programmodifications include

realigning the fitness appeal process back to

wing commanders, adjusting passing stan-dards for Airmen who can only test on onecomponent of assessment, and changingand simplifying the walk test.

In addition to these efforts, senior lead-ers are reviewing how fitness performanceis documented on performance reports aspart of a larger effort to examine the per-formance report itself. Those results are ex-pected in the near future.

Though senior leaders are looking to im-prove the current fitness program, Welshsaid he is proud of the Air Force program,and the physically fit culture it has helpedto cultivate.

“I believe we have DoD’s best designed,best run fitness program, and as a result,we have a force ready for any mission ournation asks us to execute,” he said. “I’m ex-tremely proud of how far we’ve come withour fitness culture.”

WASHINGTON - A Maryland statesenator told attendees at Joint BaseAnacostia Bolling’s (JBAB) Women’sEquality Day luncheon that gettinginvolved is the most important thingwomen can do.

Sen. Katherine Klausmeier, a legis-lator in Maryland since 1995, said herinvolvement in public matters started25 years ago, joining the local Parent-Teacher Association (PTA).

She quickly became the president ofthe organization at a time when a newschool was desperately needed.

As PTA president, she had the op-portunity to address the Board of Edu-cation and help justify the need for thenew school

“I was nervous and did not wantto do it,” she reflected. “I thought Isigned up to sell fundraising gift wrap.”

Regardless, she did do it – and wassuccessful in getting the new school, aswell as several more new schools thatfollowed.

“I was able to pull everyone togeth-er to work as a team,” she said. “I feltreally good about that.”

That success and involvementlead to further endeavors. In the early1990s, she served as vice president forthe Commission for Women in Balti-more County, where she focused onissues such as domestic violence andthe Family and Medical Leave Act.

She described her involvement as a“domino effect,” resulting in her elec-tion to the House of Delegates in 1995.

“Politics were completely new tome, Klausmeier said. “Twenty fiveyears ago I hardly knew who our Presi-dent was.”

Klausmeier said she worked hard,knocking on doors, raising funds andcampaigning for issues that she be-lieved were important.

“You just go out there and do whatyou need to do,” she emphasized.

Klausmeier pointed out that womenhave had the right to vote for less than100 years, and she is planning a cel-ebration to commemorate the centen-nial anniversary in 2020.

Although women have come a longway, Klausmeier said they have furtherto go. She acknowledged she is oftentreated different than her male col-leagues.

“Sometimes you just have to keepfighting for what you believe in,” shesaid.

The luncheon’s audience gainedinsight into what others before thembelieved in; hearing about the historyof equality for women.

Women’s Equality Day celebratesand recognizes the struggle for wom-en’s rights, which dates back to 1777when females lost the right to vote inNew York.

In 1848, leaders such as SusanB. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Sta-ton organized and convened the firstWomen’s Rights Convention in SenecaFalls, NY.

Anthony was arrested with some ofher supporters for trying to vote andwas held on a $1,000 bond. The judge

BY DONNA MILESAMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- For aglimpse into how the military ser-vices might provide quality morale,welfare and recreation servicesand programs despite continuingbudget pressures, the transforma-tion program the Air Force Servic-es directorate has been rolling outfor the past two and a half years isworth a look.

Each service administers its ownquality-of-life programs, and the of-ferings vary widely -- even within aservice’s installations, dependingon the location, the size and demo-graphic of the population served,said Ed Miles, the Department ofDefense MWR policy director.

So even as the entire militarysuffers the effects of budget cutsand sequestration, each service islooking for new efficiencies and in-novations to minimize reductionsto their programs and services.

In some cases, as demonstratedby the Air Force’s services trans-formation initiative, it’s actuallyimproving the quality and acces-sibility of MWR -- despite cuts inboth the appropriated funding andstaffing required to provide quali-ty-of-life programs.

The effort began with an exten-sive review of existing programsand services and an assessment ofwhich most directly affect readi-ness in the event that all can’t befully funded, said Col. ThomasJoyce, the services director at theAir Force Personnel Center in SanAntonio, Texas.

Based on those findings, seniorAir Force leaders designated sixcore activities: fitness, appropri-ated-fund dining facilities, childand youth care, youth activities,outdoor recreation programs, andlibraries, he said.

“We have identified core pro-grams that, if we only have ‘X’amount of money, these are the‘must-haves’ from an enterprisestandpoint in terms of their con-tribution to readiness and devel-oping and sustaining resilient Air-men and families,” Joyce said.

Meanwhile, Air Force officialsunveiled several pilot programs to

determine if new ideas being con-sidered worked as well in practiceas on paper in improving MWRservices and programs.

One, now offered at six Air Forcebases, enables Airmen, their fami-lies and civilian employees to visittheir base fitness center at theirconvenience, even after the paidstaff has left for the day. By swipingtheir common access card at thefront entrance, they can work out24/7, unaffected by reduced man-ning that has affected many fitnesscenters, said Michael Bensen, thedeputy services director.

The experiment, introduced inMarch, has proven itself a winnerat Joint Base Andrews, Md.; F.E.Warren Air Force Base, Wyo.; LittleRock Air Force Base, Ark.; ScottAir Force Base, Ill.; Fairchild AirForce Base, Wash.; and Tinker AirForce Base, Okla. Less than half-way through what was plannedas a year-long pilot program, AirForce officials already have asked

for Defense Department approvalto expand it servicewide.

Another initiative, moving for-ward at Eielson Air Force Base,Alaska, bundles many of the ser-vices activities under one roof.

The new Eielson City Centeropened in late March in a formerbase exchange complex, now in-cludes a community center, golfsimulator, television lounge,snack bar, pool tables, air hockeyand foosball tables, library, mov-ies, exercise equipment and a kids’playland.

The arrangement makes it con-venient for Airmen and their fami-lies to relax and unwind, particu-larly during the long Alaskan win-ters. At the same time, it enabledbase officials to consolidate manythe administrative and logisticalfunctions required to run the pro-grams and activities.

The Air Force is consideringexpanding this “community com-mons concept” for more testing

and possible servicewide use,Bensen reported.

“If you think about it, this ishow a town parks and recreationprogram operates. It gives yousynergies from a programmingperspective,” he said.

One of the challenges of qual-ity-of-life programs, Joyce said,is recognizing when to eliminatean existing service or program.In some cases, the Air Force hasfound value in partnering withmunicipalities and private compa-nies outside their gates to providewhat the military no longer can.

In one successful example, of-ficials at Joint Base Andrews haveteamed with the commercial out-door recreation company REI toprovide rappelling, kayaking andother recreational programs andinstruction.

Base participants get discounts,and the Air Force saves the costs ofrunning its own programs, Bensennoted.

“You get a quality experience ata reduced cost,” he said.

One of the most popular initia-tives being rolled out by Air ForceServices targets appropriated-funddining facilities.

Recognizing that Airmen withmeal cards typically were eatingjust one meal a day at their diningfacilities, Air Force officials set outto win them back. The Air ForcePersonnel Center funded a newfood transformation initiative atfive bases, hiring commercial foodservice providers to make their ap-propriated-fund dining facilitiesmore like commercial restaurants.Airmen with food service special-ties now get to work directly withprivate-sector professionals, de-livering higher-quality services ata lower cost.

As a result, Airmen are eatingtwice as many meals at their din-ing facilities, and their civiliancounterparts on base are joiningthem, Bensen reported. And whenAirmen at the participating basesaren’t close to their dining facili-ties at mealtime or simply want achange of pace, they can use theircommon access cards to dine atthe base club, bowling alley orother food-service activity.

With rave reviews since the ini-tiative kicked off in October 2010,officials are moving forward withfive additional pilot bases, Bensensaid.

Bensen was quick to acknowl-edge that what works at one instal-lation might not work everywhere.

“Every installation has differ-ent dynamics, so in all these initia-tives, we can’t take a cookie-cutterapproach,” he said.

But all installations, Joyce said,share the common goal of missionreadiness.

“Ultimately, the services trans-formation initiative is about build-ing and sustaining resilient air-men and families,” he said. “Aswe transform our programs, wealways have in the back of ourminds what we are here for: foodservices, fitness and family so wecan build and sustain resilient Air-men and their families across theAir Force who carry out their jobsin support of the mission, day-inand day-out.”

BY CHIEF JESSICA MYERSOFFICE OF WOMEN’S POLICY

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Com-mands are encouraged to celebratewomen’s history of equality in theNavy during Women’s Equality DayAug. 26, as announced by Naval Ad-ministrative Message 209/13.

This annual observance celebratesthe contributions women have madethroughout history working toward fullequality in the United States.

Women’s Equality Day was estab-lished by Congress in 1971 to com-memorate the long struggle of gen-erations of women to gain the rightto vote. According to the NationalWomen’s History Project, while origi-nally created to commemorate thepassing of the 19th Amendment, theobservance today recognizes the anni-versary of women’s suffrage and of thecontinued efforts toward equality.

When the United States was found-ed, female citizens were denied basicrights as compared to the nation’smale citizens. Married women couldnot own property, women had no legalclaim to any money they might earn,and women did not have the right tovote. It was not until 1848 that themovement for women’s rights waslaunched on a national level with aconvention in Seneca Falls, New York.Before narrowing their political focusto women’s rights, abolitionists Eliza-beth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott,known as “suffragists,” along withSusan B. Anthony and other activists,formed organizations that raised pub-lic awareness and lobbied the govern-ment to grant voting rights to women.Fighting for the right to vote becamea centerpiece of the women’s rightsmovement.

Women’s official role in the Navybegan in 1908, with the establishmentof the Navy Nurse Corps. DuringWorldWar I, the Naval Reserve Act of 1916 al-lowed for enlistment of qualified “per-sons.” A year later, the Navy authorizedthe enlistment of women, designatedas “Yeoman (F),” unofficially knownas “Yeomanettes.” Women serving inthe Navy as Nurses and Yeomanettesserved their nation before they had theright to vote.

It was not until 72 years after thesuffrage movement began that thesegroups emerged victorious with theratification of the 19th Amendmentto the United States Constitution onAugust 18, 1920. On Election Day thatsame year, more than 8million womenacross the United States voted for thefirst time.

Throughout the nation this pastMarch, hundreds of college studentsand generations of women celebratedthe centennial of the original Wom-en’s Suffrage Procession in Wash-ington, D.C., March 3, 1913. Womenwho sought the right to vote dressedin Greek-style costumes or academicrobes with “Votes for Women” sashesproudly displayed. Thousands of wom-en marched from the United StatesCapitol down Pennsylvania Avenueto the front of the White House, the

day before President Woodrow Wil-son’s inauguration. This event pushedwomen’s suffrage into the nationalspotlight.

This year also marked the 65th An-niversary of the Women’s Armed Ser-vices Integration Act, signed June 12,1948, shortly after the end of WorldWar II. This Act provided women per-manent status in the United StatesArmed Services, although women hadbeen serving unofficially since theAmerican Revolutionary War. Beforethe establishment of the ContinentalNavy, numerous women served in thestates’ navies, including the galleys ofthe Pennsylvania Navy and as nursesin the Maryland Navy, laying the foun-dation for women’s service onboard

Anthony passed away in 1906, four yearsbefore the state of Wyoming granted wom-en the right to vote.

The Women’s Suffrage Movement en-tered the national political arena in 1912when Theodore Roosevelt ran againstWoodrow Wilson with a progressive plat-form that included Women’s Suffrage.

Although he lost the election, on the eveof Wilson’s inauguration, hundreds of fe-males paraded for women’s rights and wereattacked and injured by a mob, but no ar-rests were made.

In 1919, the Nation’s Woman’s Party lit a

“Watchfire for Freedom,” which was main-tained until the Suffrage Amendment waspassed by the U.S. Senate on June 4.

After years of lobbying states to ratify theamendment, Tennessee became the firststate to do so. The 19th Amendment, theSusan B. Anthony Amendment, became lawon Aug. 26, 1920.

JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. AnthonyT. Calandra, shared that “the rights of wom-en today rest on the backs of the brave pio-neers of long ago.”

“Though women have made great stridesand continue to do so each and every day –especially in the military services – femalescontinue to work toward equal treatment inother aspects of life,” Calandra said.

“Women today still face many challengesand have more to accomplish. I encourageall to keep moving forward,” he concluded.

GENERAL PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON - The Departmentof Defense, Health Affairs, has recentlyannounced a new counter-marketingvideo competition that aims to targettobacco as an enemy of the militarythat degrades servicemembers’ health,fitness, mission readiness and workproductivity.

The competition entitled, “Fightthe Enemy,” will run until Oct. 15 andis open to all uniformed DOD person-nel, families and DOD civilians, whomay submit their best video entry withwinners being announced in mid-No-vember.

“If you don’t believe tobacco im-pairs mission readiness, I encourageyou to read the IOM report,” said Col.(Dr.) John Oh, the chief of health pro-motion at the Air Force Medical Sup-port Agency, referencing the 2009 In-stitute of Medicine report “Combating

Tobacco Use in Military and VeteranPopulations.”

Although tobacco use causes cancer,heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, andeven impotence, it can also cause otherproblems that directly impact warfight-ers, such as reduced endurance, de-creased night vision, hearing loss, de-creased wound healing, and increasedpost-operative complications.

Furthermore, DOD officials esti-mate that tobacco use costs $1.6 billionannually in medical costs and decreas-es work productivity -- a preventableexpense the DOD can ill afford in thecurrent austere fiscal climate, Oh said.

Based on DOD survey data, 17 per-cent of Airmen smoke cigarettes, afigure slightly less than the nationalaverage. Nine percent use smokelesstobacco, a number well above the 2percent national average.

“We need to change how tobacco isperceived by Airmen and call it out asthe enemy that it is, with adverse im-pact on health, mission performance,

and the economic sustainability of ourwarfighting capabilities,” Oh said.

A humorous promotional video,contest rules, and additional infor-mation can be found at www.health.mil/FightTheEnemy. Winners willbe announced in conjunction withthe American Cancer Society’s GreatAmerican Smokeout. The first prizewinner’s video will be featured on theFight the Enemy website. Winners willreceive official recognition and thanksfrom DOD senior leaders, and all en-trants will receive a gift of apprecia-tion.

“The Fight the Enemy contest is afun way for the DOD community tocome up an effective message on howwe can win the battle against tobacco,”Oh said.. “I know we have some verycreative Airmen and family membersout there who are up to the challenge.”

In 1979, Barry joined the MiddleEast Force for Persian Gulf service during the very tenseperiod that accompanied the Iranian Revolution. In1981-1982 Barry made her final deployment in that area.USS Barry was decommissioned in 1982 and arrived atthe Washington Navy Yard in 1983.

CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON - Chief of Naval Op-erations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Green-ert has released his navigation plan forthe Navy for 2014 to 2018 to the fleet.

Drawing from the Sailing Directionsand the three tenets of WarfightingFirst, Operate Forward and Be Ready,the navigation plan defines the courseand speed the Navy will follow to or-ganize, train and equip over the nextseveral years.

Greenert also addresses budgetaryconcerns about Continuing Resolu-tions, Sequestration and preparationsfor the FY2014 budget in the document.

“Our first consideration is theability to fight and win today, whilebuilding the ability to win tomorrow,”Greenert said. “Regardless of reduc-tions, we will continue to operate for-ward with ready forces, where it mat-ters, when it matters.”

Greenert stated that despite futurereduction to Navy’s budget that mayimpact the ability to maintain theoverall size of the fleet, the Navy willensure that the deployable force isproficient and ready. This will includefielding and improving “kill chains,”utilizing the electromagnetic spectrumand maintaining the Navy’s underseadominance.

The document also addresses therebalance toward the Asia-Pacific re-gion, a strategy that will compel theNavy to add ships to the Forward De-

ployed Naval Force, and increase thenumber of ships which are ForwardStationed or Forward Operating.

“The Navy and Marine Corps areour nation’s ‘away team’,” Greenertsaid. “History demonstrates the Navyis at its best when we are forward andready to respond.”

Lastly, the Navigation Plan stressesthe importance of having Sailors andCivilians that are ready to tackle tomor-row’s challenges by being personallyprepared, confident and proficient.

“We will sustain our forces’ warf-ighting capability and ability to operateforward through effective maintenanceand timely modernization,” Greenertsaid. “Ready Sailors and Civilians re-main the source of the Navy’s warfight-ing capability.”

CNO releases navigation plan for 2014-2018

ships during the Civil War andthe Spanish-American War.

As women’s roles in theNavy continued to developduring the latter part of the20th century, so did theirprogress toward equality. In1973, the Navy authorizedaviation training for women.It was also this same year thatthe Supreme Court ruled thatinequities in benefits for thedependents of military womenwere unconstitutional, abol-ishing pregnancy as a reasonfor mandatory separation.Before 1973, military womenwith dependents were not au-thorized housing, and theirdependents were ineligible forthe benefits and privileges af-forded the dependents of malemilitary members, such asmedical, commissary and postexchange.

In 1975, Congress autho-rized admission of women tothe military academies. Threeyears later, women were firstassigned to supply and non-combatant ships. Women’sopportunities in the Navy sig-nificantly increased in 1993following the repeal of thecombat exclusion law, whichallowed officer and enlistedwomen to serve on combatantships and in combat aviation.It was also during this sametime period that the Navy

conducted the first feasibilitystudy on women entering sub-marine community. Seventeenyears later, in 2010, Navy an-nounced a policy change al-lowing female officers to serveon submarines.

Earlier this year, the Secre-tary of Defense and Joint Chiefsof Staff announced immedi-ate rescission of 1994 DirectGround Combat Definitionand Assignment Rule. In ac-cordance with the Secretary’sguidance, Navy developed andsubmitted a plan to implementthe rescission, through whichNavy envisions no closed occu-pations, a very limited numberof closed positions, and equalprofessional opportunity forfemales in every officer desig-nator and enlisted rating in theNavy.

Today, over 67,000 womenserve in the Navy in the ac-tive and Reserve components,comprising 18 percent of theTotal Force. There are current-ly 38 female flag officers, twofemale Fleet Master Chiefs,and one female Force MasterChief in the Navy. Additional-ly, nearly 50,000 women serveacross the Navy in a wide rangeof specialties as civilian em-ployees, with 67 female seniorexecutive service members.

All Navy commands are en-couraged to reflect on and cel-ebrate the accomplishments ofwomen throughout the armedservices during this observance.
