Joint Base Charleston, and our nation as awhole, has been coping with challenging eco-nomic times. In 2011, the Budget Control Actrequired the Department of Defense to cut morethan $487 billion from the defense budget over10 years, beginning this fiscal year. The Act alsotasked a Supercommittee to cut $1.5 trillion over10 years, but that plan did not materialize, and asa result an additional $1.2 trillion in cuts, knownas sequestration, was levied on the Federalbudget, with half of those cuts coming from theDoD.As a result of reductions mandated by the

Budget Control Act and sequestration, theDefense Department must cut $46 billion in FY2013, which will include at least $1.9 million incuts here at JB Charleston.Based on guidance from the Deputy Secretary

of Defense, the Undersecretary of the Air Forceand the AMC Vice Commander, JB Charlestonofficials identified areas to reduce expenditures,and cease or defer services and programs for thisfiscal year in order to find savings.Cost saving actions already underway

includes curtailing non-mission essential flying,delaying purchases of non-essential equipmentand limiting official travel.

“We simply can’t afford to continue operat-ing without changing our methods and reducingour expenses. Therefore, Joint Base Charlestonis taking actions to live within a lower fundinglevel and preserve our readiness,” said Col.Richard McComb, JB Charleston commander.Assessments were made locally of JB

Charleston’s support functions, a few of whichincluded grounds and facility maintenance; cus-todial services; and civil engineer response tofacilities sustainment, restoration and modern-ization work orders. Additionally, all ForceSupport, Communications, and Logistics servic-es were evaluated, and recommendations forchanges were coordinated with the Joint BaseCharleston Partnership Council, which is com-prised of the base’s main mission partners. Theproposed reductions, including the feedback andrecommendations from JB Charleston’s missionpartners, are projected to provide enough sav-ings to off-set the reductions received due tosequestration.“Any changes made to services and support

were not rushed decisions—we took a methodi-

cal approach to identifying the base’s most vitalneeds and programs to ensure sound decisionswere reached. It was also done with completetransparency, coordinating with all affected cus-tomers and mission partners before making anyfinal decisions. Commanders beyond Joint BaseCharleston are facing these same problems andtaking similar actions. Our Navy counterpartsare also instituting cost-saving measures in theircommands to deal with the new fiscal environ-ment,” said McComb.

Below are some of the most visible changesthat could impact members of the JB Charlestoncommunity:

Civil Engineer Updates- Non-Emergent Facilities Sustainment,

Restoration and Modernization - The 628thCivil Engineer Squadron will respond only toLife/Health/Safety issues and emergency workorders. All routine work orders will be deferred. - Custodial Services - Some customers will

notice a change in the frequency of their routinecustodial services, such as common-area clean-ing and trash pickup.

963 - AADDAirmen Against Drunk Driving: Wingmen Saving Lives

DUI CONDITION:GREEN

Commentary by Chief Master Sgt. Donald FelchI.G. Brown Training and Education Center

MCGHEE TYSON AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Tenn. – Sinceshortly after its birth as a separate service, American Airmen have wornthe color blue.

Blue represents the sky; a medium the Air Force first aimed to conquer.Blue in our uniforms, in our shield and in our official symbol is also com-monly connected to loyalty and courage. Airmen have shown loyalty andcourage in every significant conflict since the dawn of flight and continuedoing so today.

Air Force blue begins entering our lives in basic military training. Welearn about being Airmen. We share common experiences, learn attentionto detail and become eager to dedicate ourselves to the mission. We areforged in the furnaces before proceeding to technical training where welearn a skill. Our instructors teach us the professional standards we needto follow in our specific career fields. Here, we are shaped and polished.When we report to our first assignment we are blue. Our blue is strong,straight and true. We have become weapons of our nation – weapons ofthe highest quality and accuracy.

As we go about our daily lives, on and off duty, in and out of uniform,we face challenges, weather storms, experience occasional failures andmeet with other forms of adversity. We listen to others complain. Wegrow tired of facing the same obstacles at every turn. Sometimes we run

across situations we haven't been trained to handle and get discouraged.Since we are human, these things can wear away at our blue. They canmake us dull. As with any weapon or tool, constant use without periodicmaintenance can lower effectiveness. Airmen are no different.

Bluing is a process often used by gun manufacturers, gunsmiths andgun owners to improve the cosmetic appearance of, and provide corrosionresistance to, firearms, according to Walter J. Howe in his 1946 book,"Professional Gunsmithing." All blued parts still need to be properly oiledto prevent rust.

Professional military education is a rebluing process for Airmen.In the course of our studies, activities, and even social events, we

improve our cosmetic appearance – reminding one another about the properwear of the uniform and the importance of a professional image. We obtaincorrosion resistance as we discuss the core values and the noncommis-sioned office and senior NCO responsibilities. We reaffirm our collectivededication to professional standards. This reaffirmation defends us fromcynicism, negative thoughts and griping. Just as it does with worn firearms,our rebluing process returns us to the highest quality and accuracy.

In Air Force PME, the rebluing process serves exactly the same pur-pose it serves with any worn weapon. It improves cosmetic appearance,prevents corrosion and improves overall functionality.

When America takes up arms to defend herself against those whowould destroy our way of life, her aim is straight and true because asAirmen, we remain blue.

Commentary by Master Sgt. Randall Fontenot628th Civil Engineering Squadron first sergeant

After more than two years of serving as a firstsergeant, I've seen many Airmen pursuing their edu-cation for the sole purpose of earning an EPR bul-let. While I won't argue their philosophy, I willargue that the pursuit of education is much morethan an EPR bullet. The benefits of an education,while certainly somewhat measurable financially,are often immeasurable in terms of personal growth.

I recently discussed this topic with a friendwhen he made the following statement: "knowl-edge is the one thing that no one person can evertake from us."

What a profound statement! In a society that

places value and status onmaterial possessions, theone thing we can never bestripped of is the hardwork and dedication thatgoes into achieving aCCAF degree, a bachelor'sor master's degree.Material possessions canbe replaced, the power ofknowledge, and the doorsit unlocks, cannot.

Many of us focus on thehere and now; how can westand out among our peers? What can we do toimprove our chances of promotion? How do we

check all those blocks on our EPR's?Education meets all those objectives; butmore importantly, it prepares us for life out-side the Air Force, a life we will allinevitably face.

The decision to continue one's educationhas to be made for each individual's personalreasons and at a time when that Airman feelsprepared to make this huge commitment.For those who have already made the com-mitment, I salute you. For those who havenot taken that first step, I would encourageyou to take advantage of the educationalopportunities afforded you to for a better

quality of life for you and your family; not justfor another EPR bullet.

'Rebluing': Why do we say that?

Education: It's not just an EPR bullet

Commentary by Master Sgt. Daniel Donnelly51st Logistics Readiness Squadron

OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea – What'syour life worth? One-million dollars? Maybe afew hundred thousand? What if I told you some-thing that cost me $19.99 saved my life?

Two years ago, I paid $19.99 for a bicycle hel-met and recently its value has surpassed its cost.

I was doing what a lot of us at Osan Air Basedo – riding my bike. I went to work, to the gymand then rode home to my off-base residence.

On this day, at about 2 p.m., the sun was shin-ing brightly as I came across a busy downtownintersection. The green cross light was countingdown and I had about five seconds to cross thestreet. I made it across safely, but was going so

fast that I lost control of my bicycle.Everything happened so fast. I swerved left to

miss a person. Then, I went to the right around abus bench, but despite every effort to avoid all thehazards, my left handle bar clipped a light pole.Striking the pole caused me to fly over my handlebars and land on the ground where I hit my righttemple.

I hit the ground so hard I blacked out. When Iwoke up I started checking my limbs and lookingfor blood. I had road rash here and there from thefall, but I didn't feel I had any broken bones.

Then, I took off my helmet and found it brokenin two, right near my temple.

This is the point where I realized just howimportant safety gear is, and how much it's worth.

Some people think it's a waste to spend money

on safety gear and I have to be honest, I was oneof them. This experience taught me that spendinga few dollars now could save a lot of pain andsuffering later.

Applying some operational risk management tothe situation made me realize I would still bewearing that helmet, but I would have waited forthe next green light rather than hurrying acrossthe street. Looking at the same traffic light now, Irealize there was a lot going on and there were alot of potential hazards.

On the day of my accident, had I scanned thearea a little better and taken a little extra timethinking of what could happen, I would havemade a different choice.

Still, $19.99 saved my life.

How $19.99 saved my life

Commentary by Staff Sgt. Nicholas Rau460th Space Wing Public Affairs

BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – I had never met him. I hadnever seen him. I didn't even know his name before that day.

But then I stood on the flightline, staring at a black coffin draped in theStars and Stripes. It didn't matter whether or not I knew this Marine, becauseI could feel his impact.

Members of the base and local community showed up in force for thisdignified transfer. A full formation of Marines divided the hearse from theseries of cars that lined the aircraft hangar doors, with an honor guard readyto receive their fallen brother after he arrived by plane. More than 20 K-9handlers and their dogs filled the flightline in respect of one of their ownbecause the plane was not only carrying an American warrior, but also theremains of his military working dog partner.

So there I was, in full service dress, behind the camera's lens, capturingthe final journey of this Marine for his family. I had never been in this posi-tion before, and it was a little eerie. As a photojournalist, I always try to getexcited about putting out the best possible product; but as I stood next to thehearse, still close enough to hear the quiet crying of his family, excitementseemed out of place.

The six-man honor guard raised their white-gloved hands in a silent saluteto the K-9 handler before the door to the black hearse closed. The Marine's

wife stared at the vehicle through dark sunglasses, the tear streaks still onher cheek. His brother stood stoically beside her in his place.

This Marine, who was unknown to me until then, had spoken to me. Notthrough words, but through actions. He made the greatest sacrifice for hiscountry any service member can make. He made it even though he had afamily. He made it even though he had a future.

All the days throughout my career I complained about it being too hot orthere being a lot of work seemed insignificant. Frankly, I was embarrassed. Ilost track of the big picture in those moments, and it was sad it took a heroto remind me of that.

The corporal's sacrifice reminded me of the important things. No matterwhat branch of service we are in, we are all in this fight together. We standunited against America's enemies and together in the aid of our allies.

His sacrifice also showed me how fragile life is for those who take theoath to serve our country. We sometimes see ourselves as invincible, but oneday it could be me in that casket and my wife wearing black. Because I willdeploy again; it's what I swore to when I joined the military.

As I watched the hearse pull away bathed by the lights of fire trucks andpolice vehicles, every available service member and civilian on the installa-tion lined the road awaiting the corporal's final pass. I saw hundreds of basemembers, lined shoulder to shoulder, place their hands over their hearts orraise their arms and render a final salute.

And it hit me. This Marine not only impacted me, he had impacted all of us.

How often do you think about the realchoices you have when it comes to alcohol?There is so much more to this question thanjust "should I drink or not."

Choosing to use or not to use alcohol is apersonal choice for which each Airman andSailor is responsible. As adults, we are allresponsible for the consequences of our deci-sions. Before deciding whether or not toinclude alcohol in your activities, consider allthe implications.

Do you consider alcohol necessary to havea good time? Many people think alcohol is acomplement to social events, good food andconversation with friends or family. Even ifthis is what you think, you must still be pre-pared with a plan to prevent a mishap. Whatdoes that mean? It means not only having theplan, but knowing it is your responsibility tofollow through with the plan. Use your desig-nated driver; sleep over at your friend'shouse; call a taxi or simply don't drink.

Regardless of your activity, it's importantto know what effects alcohol can have onyou. Keeping in mind that there are variations

among individuals, below is aguideline of what happens atdifferent Blood AlcoholConcentration levels.

0.02-0.03 BAC: No loss ofcoordination, slight euphoriaand loss of shyness.Depressant effects are notapparent. Other affects includebeing mildly relaxed and lightheaded.

0.04-0.06 BAC: Feeling of well-being,relaxation, lower inhibitions, sensation ofwarmth and increased euphoria. In addition,there may be some minor impairment of rea-soning and memory and a loweringa loweringof caution. Behavior may become exaggerat-ed and emotions intensified (Good emotionsare better, bad emotions are worse.)

0.07-0.09 BAC: Slight impairment of bal-ance, speech, vision, reaction time, and hear-ing. Judgment and self-control are impaired,as well as caution, reason and memory.. It isillegal to drive with a .08.

0.10-0.125 BAC: Significant impairmentof motor coordination and loss of good judg-ment. Speech may be slurred; balance, vision,reaction time and hearing will be impaired.

0.13-0.15 BAC: Gross motor impairment

and lack of physical control.Alcohol creates blurredvision and major loss of bal-ance on the individual.Euphoria is reduced and dys-phoria (emotional state ofanxiety and restlessness) isbeginning to appear.However, judgment and per-

ception are severely impaired at this point.0.16-0.19 BAC: Dysphoria predominates,

nausea may appear. The drinker has theappearance of a "sloppy drunk."

0.20 BAC: Feeling dazed, confused or oth-erwise disoriented. The individual may needhelp with basic motor functions, such as stand-ing or walking. If individuals injure them-selves, they may not feel pain. Some peopleexperience nausea and vomiting at this level.The gag reflex is impaired and you can choke ifyou do vomit. Blackouts are likely at this levelso you may not remember what has happened.

0.25 BAC: All of the individuals' mental,physical and sensory functions are severelyimpaired. Increased risk of asphyxiation,from choking on vomit and seriously injuringyourself by otherby other accidents occur.

0.30 BAC: Individuals enter a state of stu-

por . They may have little comprehension ofwhere they are. Individuals may pass out sud-denly and be difficult to awake the individuals.

0.35 BAC: Coma is possible. This is thelevel of surgical anesthesia.

0.40 BAC and up: Onset of coma, andpossible death due to respiratory arrest.

Everyone should enjoy the summer season- responsibly! Your family, friends, co-work-ers and the Air Force need you to come backSafe 'n Sound!

However, we will continueto keep the base populace informed of any additional deci-sions that are made and strive to reach these only after a care-ful assessment of all relevant facts,” said McComb. “Ourgoal, above all, is to meet the budgetary requirements with aslittle impact as possible to our mission and our people.”

After 64 years of being sewn onto uniforms, and accompa-nying Airmen in their daily mission, one Joint BaseCharleston - Air Base squadron recently sent their old, tiredsquadron emblem into retirement and unveiled their newlyredesigned emblem for the future.

According to Stan Gohl, 437th Airlift Wing historian, the437th Maintenance Squadron, activated in 1949, originallynever created a squadron emblem, instead relying on Airmen"artists" to create emblems. After years of redesigning andmodifying emblems that did not comply with Air Forceinstructions, a permanent fix was in order.

Lt. Col Tracey Smith, 437th Maintenance Squadron com-mander, along with Airmen from the 437th MXS and Gohl, tookon the challenge of establishing an official squadron emblem.

According to AFI 84.105, Organizational Lineage, Honorsand Heraldry, the process of creating an Air Force emblem isoutlined as follows:

• Design must be incorporated into a shield• Emblem must be uncluttered, and must not exceed three

elements• Must reflect favorably on the United States Air Force• Must be original, distinctive, dignified and in good taste• Must not create controversy • Must not display specific equipment, assigned aircraft or

specific geographical locations• Do not use numbering or lettering within the shield• Must not infringe on a trademark or copyright• Must use accepted heraldic symbols or stylized elements• Do not duplicate existing emblems, badges or flags• Do not include symbols or caricatures associated with for-

eign nations or extremist groups, symbols of a morbid nature,or cartoon-like characters

• Do not include symbols of games of chance or gamblingdevices

However, one aspect of an emblem that is able to be local-ized is the scroll. A wing or independent group may choose todisplay either its approved motto or unit designation on thescroll beneath the shield. If a wing doesn't have a motto, thedesignation will be on the scroll. Either way, a motto or des-ignation cannot be longer than 36 characters.

Colors used in the emblem are also an element in theapproval process. When choosing colors; individuals may notuse more than six colors. In addition, two of the colors mustbe Ultramarine blue and Air Force yellow. The yellow mustalso outline the shield, and the scrolls must use a white back-ground edged in Air Force yellow with blue lettering.

Once the emblem design is created and approved locally bythe base historian, it goes to the MAJCOM and Air Force levelfor approval, before submitting the design to the United StatesArmy Institute of Heraldry in Washington, DC., for finalapproval.

Based on tradition, squadrons create and obtain approvalof an emblem early in their history. Once approved, anemblem is rarely ever replaced and only under certain cir-cumstances can it be changed or modified.

"When a squadron is activated, it [the emblem] lives for-ever," said Gohl. "It may experience a period of inactivation,but once it's reactivated, the history of that squadron returnswith its name."

According to Gohl, an approved squadron emblem is itscoat of arms and everlasting visible legacy.

"The 437th MXS was first activated on June 27, 1949, asa traditional Reserve squadron assigned to the 437th TroopCarrier Wing stationed in Chicago," said Gohl.

Throughout its history, the 437th MXS has been redesignat-ed multiple times. Redesignation occurs when the squadron

name changes, but has no tangible effect on the mission."The designation changed from a maintenance squadron to

a field maintenance squadron, to an equipment maintenancesquadron, before finally changing back to a maintenancesquadron," said Gohl.

Today's 437th MXS emblem will remain the face of thesquadron for the rest of time. Its colors are Ultramarine blueand Air Force yellow. The blue alludes to the sky, primary the-ater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun and theexcellence required of Air Force personnel. The backgroundof day and night sky indicates around-the-clock maintenanceoperations. The sun resembles a compass rose, symbolizingthe squadron's mission of support in keeping the unit's aircraftflying worldwide. The stars, in a constellation cluster, repre-sent the teamwork required among active-duty and AirReserve component officer and enlisted members and civil-ians to make the mission happen.

The Latin motto, "Ad Exacta Capaces," which translates to"Can Do" in English, expresses the spirit of unit personnel.

"It is possible that 20 years from now, your family mem-bers may be assigned to the 437th MXS and they too will lookupon this emblem and its motto of 'Can Do," said Gohl. "And,they will continue that legacy."

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii – Although71 years have passed since the Battle ofMidway, the tactical genius and heroism dis-played then still inspires the Navy today, U.S.Pacific Fleet Commander Adm. Cecil Haneysaid in a June 4 message to the Fleet.

Regarded as the turning point in the Pacificduring World War II, the Battle of Midwaytook place June 4-7, 1942.

"It is important that we pause routinely toreflect on our collective heritage and history,"Haney said. "This week is a signature oppor-tunity as we remember the Battle of Midway."

U.S. Navy carrier strike forces, augmentedby shore-based bombers and torpedo planes,scored a decisive victory during the battle thatmarks an important milestone for the PacificFleet, our Navy and our nation.

"Midway still inspires us today. The battleclearly validated the value of innovative tech-nology and the employment of combat assetsto take advantage of critical intelligence gath-ering," Haney said. "It also demonstrated thecourage of our Sailors and Marines that defines

our Navy and provides a model to us all."The message went on to laud Navy civil-

ians of that critical period, as Pearl Harborshipyard workers "accomplished the nearimpossible task" of restoring the heavily dam-aged carrier USS Yorktown prior to the battle.

"Our proud history has always shown thatpeople continue to be the key to the Navy'ssuccess," Haney said. "As we honor thosewarriors of the past, I also salute our Sailorsand civilians of today who keep our Navystrong and operating forward in the vitalIndo-Asia-Pacific region."

Throughout Pacific Fleet and the Navy,commands are recognizing the anniversary ofthe Battle of Midway this week with com-memorative ceremonies designed to instill anappreciation of Navy heritage and link gener-ations of Sailors and civilians with history.

"Let us all pledge to keep the memoriesalive of those who made victory at Midwaypossible and serve in a manner and in the spir-it that would make them proud," Haney con-cluded in his message.

WASHINGTON – The Navy is bringingtogether all enlisted career management poli-cies, processes and multiple information tech-nology systems under the umbrella of theCareer Navigator program in order to provideSailors with tools and information to plan andexecute their career decisions as announcedin NAVADMINs 149/13 and 150/13 releasedMay 30."Our goal is to provide Sailors with career

opportunities across the continuum of activeand Reserve service," said Rear Adm. TonyKurta, director of military personnel plansand policy. "We have dismantled PTS andcreated a reenlistment process that is moreadvantageous for Sailors. We're simplifyingthe process and providing information sooner,giving our Sailors interactive capability thatwill enable more transparency and feedbackcapability and ultimately allow Sailors to bemore actively involved in managing theircareers."Career Navigator will use Career

Waypoints (formerly Fleet RIDE) as the ITsystem that supports key Sailor decisionsabout which way to go next in their career.Career Waypoints will include the enlistedcareer management processes that allowSailors to give their intentions to reenlist,reclassify, designate into a rate, convert ortransition between the Active Component andReserve Component. Accordingly theseprocesses will be called: Reenlistment (for-merly Perform To Serve (PTS)),Reclassification (formerly production man-agement office (PMO)), PACT designation(formerly rating entry for general apprentice(REGA)), Conversion and Transition.Changes to the system, policy and processnames will occur in the next few months.Sailors can now receive results of reenlist-

ment applications earlier and the process willalign with orders negotiation. Sailors willfind out if they've been approved sooner, andhave more time to apply for orders throughthe Career Management System InteractiveDetailing, in the Reenlistment CareerWaypoint for active duty.

All Sailors will continue to indicate theirintentions to reenlist or separate with theircareer counselor. They will submit theirintentions through their career counselor 13months before their active obligated service,as extended, one month earlier than before.Sailors can still change their minds after thisinitial submission, and are encouraged to lettheir career counselors know if they've madea change as soon as possible. "Knowing Sailors' intentions is critical to

accurately predict how many Sailors we willhave in each skillset, rate and paygrade goingforward" said Kurta. "This ensures the maxi-mum opportunity to reenlist in rate for thoseSailors who desire to stay, offers opportuni-ties for Sailors to convert to a new rate ortransition between components, and improvesadvancement opportunity." All eligible and command-approved E-6

Sailors will be approved for reenlistment ontheir first application, according to officials.While there is still a need for Sailors to telltheir career counselor their intentions, if theywant to reenlist and have command approvalto do so, they will be given reenlistmentapproval on their first application. Soon, asthe IT system is updated, Sailors and theircommands will receive confirmation immedi-ately upon submittal. Navy officials say 100 percent of eligible,

command approved Sailors in skillsets thatare open (undermanned) or balanced will alsoreceive approval to reenlist on their firstapplication, and within 30 days. This will alsobecome immediate with planned IT updates.The changes will give eligible and com-

mand-approved E-5 and below Sailorsanswers about reenlistment requests earlier.This process has also been aligned withorders negotiation so Sailors will have moretime to negotiate for the orders they want.Sailors in skillsets that are competitive or

overmanned, or that have special requirementssuch as the nuclear community, will receiveinformation sooner about their ability to reen-list in rate, or opportunity to convert to a differ-ent rate or transition to the Reserves. Many ofthese Sailors will also receive approval to reen-list on their first application depending on themanning in their year group.

According to Kurta, with this new design,approximately 75% of Sailors who want toreenlist will be approved on their first applica-tion and all Sailors will know at least 10months from the end of their contract whetherthey will be able to reenlist in their current rate. For Sailors who are in overmanned or

competitive skillsets will have up to 11monthly reviews grouped into three phasesbeginning 13 months from their expiration ofSEAOS. Each phase will present the careeroptions available to a Sailor. The first phase provides Sailors with four

reviews starting 13 months from SEAOS withthree options of in-rate reenlistment, conver-sion to another rating or transition into select-ed Reserves. In the second phase, Sailors who have not

been given the go ahead for reenlistment in-rate will be given four more reviews with theoptions of conversion to a new rate or transi-tion into SELRES. In the third and final phase, Sailors will

receive up to three reviews to transition intoSELRES.The second change automatically gener-

ates partial applications for PACT Sailorswho meet minimum qualification require-

ments. The NAVADMIN also modifies policyto allow time in rate Sailors to apply for a rat-ing entry designation quotas.The final process changes impact Sailors

in the Reserve Component, as part of contin-uum of service initiatives announced inNAVADMIN 114/10. Starting June 3, SEL-RES and voluntary training unit Sailors willbe able to request active duty augmentationthrough the transition module within CareerWaypoints, provided they meet specific pro-gram requirements. The program is beingexpanded to include FTS opportunities and toallow conversions into ratings with availablequotas provided Sailors meet programrequirements. Additionally, SELRES Sailors will be able

to request conversion to an undermannedSELRES rating through Career Waypoints,instead of routing paper packages to PERS-8for approval. To learn more about the Career Navigator

program, Sailors may speak with their chainof command, career counselor, read theNAVADMIN, or call NPC customer servicecenter at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC, (1-866-827-5672) or e-mail at [email protected].
