Story and photos by Staff Sgt. Jared TrimarchiJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Every Airman is a sensor and, ultimately, an inspector of how well their unit and the Air Force are per-forming.

The 628th Air Base Wing staff agencies recently completed a unit vertical inspection, a self-assesmentof compliance to Air Force instruction and regulations. These inspections are conducted by the WingInspection Team. Members of the WIT are subject matter experts, empowered by the wing commander,assisting the inspector general as an additional duty.

“Our records management program was just inspected by a WIT member and I was really impressedwith the knowledge I gained from the inspection,” said Staff Sgt. Torri Bagsby, 628th Air Base Wingchaplain assistant.

One of the biggest take-aways from the self-inspection for Bagsby pertained to Air Force Instructionson visual aids used around the base.

“Visual aids such as the posters you see on bulletin boards with a person’s photo for recognition areofficial Air Force forms and need to be filed under records management,” she added. “I didn’t know youcouldn’t just make one from scratch and post it around base.”

The inspection included WIT members outside of wing staff agencies to prevent bias when assessingunit compliance with Air Force Instructions.

Technical Sgt. Kelly Anderson, 628th Communications Squadron NCOIC of quality assurance,assessed the Information Technology Asset Management program for the wing staff agencies.

“Self-assessments are great because we get to look at how other units manage their programs and Ican bring that knowledge back to my organization as a benchmark,” Anderson said. “There is no com-puter in the world that can analyze information as well as an Airman and we have hundreds of them act-ing as sensors in each unit, pin-pointing information ensuring compliance with regulations.”

The purpose of the inspection system is to ensure units are running efficiently and are mission ready. “Each unit commander is responsible for the inspection process within their respective unit but it’s the

job of the Airmen to inform their chains of command of any updates or discrepancies,” said Lt. Col.Roosevelt Loveless, Joint Base Charleston inspector general. “The goal is to look at the economy, effi-ciency and discipline of each unit and define the strengths and weaknesses.”

Although Bagsby feels she gained knowledge from the inspection, she also shared information withher command about non-compliance.

“We have some work to do and had some deficiencies but the inspection helped us identify the prob-lems and come up with solutions to resolve them,” Bagsby added.

According to Loveless, the most important lesson learned from any inspection is to remember no unitis perfect.

“Embrace the red,” Loveless said. “If you find something is broken or non-compliant, don’t just hideit and sweep it under the rug. Embrace the fact that you are where you are and report up the chain of com-mand. If you don’t tell anyone, we can’t help you solve the situation.”

Col. Robert Lyman, Joint Base Charleston commander, seconded this guidance. “Our inspection program is not just about compliance. It is also about our readiness,” he said. “If workcenters can capture and document the weakest areas of their programs, ‘embracing the red,’

then wing leaders have a much clearer picture of what needs the most attention for us to do our missioneffectively. That allows commanders to allocate scarce resources and accept operational risk. It alsoempowers commanders to advocate for resources, training or changes in policy that may be needed for

us to bolster our capabilities. None of that happens effectively without workcenters aggressively docu-menting through our self inspections. We need your help and continued engagement,” Lyman said.

In April, Air Mobility Command IG will conduct a capstone visit which is a final inspection of thecurrent Unit Effectiveness Inspection cycle. The base will be assessed on four major graded areas: man-aging resources, improving the unit, leading people and executing the mission.

There is no cramming for a capstone and there is no more inspection preparation, Loveless said. TheUEI is an ongoing process and these inspections help ensure units are doing what they are supposed todo.

“If you are mission ready, you are inspection ready,” Loveless said. “After the capstone the inspectionisn’t over, the next UEI cycle begins. The inspection never stops.”

Doing our best and resolving to act in 2016By Capt. Timothy SparksJoint Base Charleston deputy commander

What are your New Year's resolutions? Like me,I'm sure good health, safety, security and familyprosperity are at the top of your list.

Let's consider a few additional resolutions towork on together in 2016. How about: demonstrat-ing pride, improving readiness and owning our war-rior ethos – we can achieve these goals by knowingwhat "right" and "excellence" look like and by doingthe right thing, even when no one is watching.

The vast majority of us do this daily, which iswhy we are seeing numbers of serious incidentsdecrease and some readiness trends rising. But, asalways, there is still room for improvement.

I ask our Air Force partners here on Joint BaseCharleston to indulge me as I take a minute to sum-marize the Chief of Naval Operations, CNO Adm.John Richardson. He issued "A Design forMaintaining Maritime Superiority" strategy. His"Design" applies to many facets of base operationsor any service related endeavor, as well as a day-to-day commitment to doing the right things. The fourkey attributes he identified are:

• Integrity: Our behavior as individuals and asan organization aligns with our professional values.We actively strengthen each other's resolve to actconsistently with our values. As individuals, teamsand as a Military Service, our conduct must alwaysbe upright and honorable both in public and private(i.e. when nobody's looking).

• Accountability: We are a mission-focusedforce. We achieve and maintain high standards.Our actions support our strategy. We clearly definethe problem we're trying to solve and the proposedoutcomes. In execution, we honestly assess ourprogress and adjust as required. We are our owntoughest critic.

• Initiative: On their own, everybody strives tobe the best they can be. We give 100% when on thejob. Our leaders take ownership and act to the limitof their authorities. We foster a questioning attitudeand look at new ideas with an open mind. Our mostjunior teammate may have the best idea; we mustbe open to capturing that idea.

• Toughness: We can take a hit and keep going,tapping all sources of strength and resilience: rigor-ous training for operations and combat, the fightingspirit of our people, and the steadfast support of our

families. We don't give up the ship.I like the way the CNO has thoughtfully laid out

a map to success for any service member, any gov-ernment employee, any contractor or even any ofour family members to follow. As in all inspira-tional goals or designs, it takes work and focus tofollow ideals into to successful endeavors. Thatwork starts by resolve, resolutions and goals.

Resolutions are the foundation for improvement,with that thought, I am inspired by his "Design" tocreate these simple resolutions to focus on for theNew Year: 1) Everyone on Joint Base Charlestonworks together for a noble cause; to defend ourcountry, our ideals and our loved ones. 2) Treateach other with dignity and respect. 3) Greet peo-ple sincerely and proudly. 4) Take an extra momentin time to observe and then take positive action toimprove the environment around you wherever yougo. Even little things can make a big difference.

I suggest we resolve to do our best to have ahealthy, safe, secure and prosperous year togetheras the next step towards a better future. Thanks forlooking out for each other – Shipmates, Wingmen,veterans, DOD civilians and military families.Happy New Year!

Teamwork springboard to successBy Master Sgt. Adam Clarke15th Airlift Squadron

As members of the Profession of Arms, we each answered the call to be part ofsomething much larger than any individual. Answering that call means we havecommitted to a team that can only be successful if its members act selflessly.

High performance teams consist of members who prioritize team goalsabove individual goals. Placing the needs of the team and welfare of our team-mates ahead of our own personal desires can be challenging. However, thecore values we live by provide us with a moral guide and help remind us whatis most important.

Reflecting on one of those core values, service before self, can help usremember to set aside our selfishness and perform our best at whatever job weare tasked to do. There are several things we can do to show we have a genuine

interest in the success of our team. We can take on the jobs others are reluctantto do, be reliable, take advantage of opportunities to learn new skills andalways push ourselves to do our personal best. Notice that each of these thingsis about effort, not talent.

Some people do not get their dream job coming out of basic training whileothers are forced to retrain out of a job they loved into one they do not. Iencourage you to always put your best foot forward and do the best you can atevery job or assignment you are given. The desire to focus on our personalpreferences is normal but we need to remember putting the needs of our teamfirst will result in team and personal success.

You are part of a larger team that cannot function without you. Additionally,the experience you are gaining ultimately benefits you and your organization.Strive to be an asset to your team, help your teammates win and celebrate yoursuccesses together.

Finding strength, resiliency through Air Force familyBy Airman 1st Class Christopher Thornbury22nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs

MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. – I joined the military toprovide for my family, but I never would have expected the challenges myfamily would face and how we would evolve.

When I enlisted in the Air Force I joined another family without intent.This family has been with me ever since, especially during my family'sdarkest tragedy.

FamilyAfter completing basic military training and tech school, my family and

I made the 303-mile drive from our hometown, Lebanon, Missouri, toMcConnell Air Force Base, Kansas. We didn't know anyone or anythingabout the area before arriving. It was only my wife, my daughter andmyself.

My co-workers welcomed us and within a few months, I had madefriends at work. We soon found out that our immediate family was goingto grow. We were going to have a baby boy, who we decided to nameEmmitt Alan Thornbury.

On Sept. 18, 2015, Emmitt was born. My immediate family nowincludes my son, my daughter, Kierstin, and my wife, Kristina.

HardshipWe didn't have the chance to raise Emmitt. We'll never know what kind

of man he would become, if he'd have my blue eyes or his mother's dim-ples. We won't be able to take him to ball games or pick him up after a fall.We won't be able to hold and comfort him when he is upset. Because heisn't with us anymore, but he is still with us in our hearts.

His fragile body couldn't support life outside his mother's safe womb. Heonly lived a little over an hour but the impression he left will last forever.

We didn't go in blind though. We knew Emmitt was going to face chal-lenges when the doctors spoke to us about his deformities caused by hiscondition, Trisomy 18. It was gut-wrenching when they began talkingabout how much time we would have with him. They weren't talking about

years or even months, not even days; they were talking about minutes andhours. Hearing this hit me harder than a speeding train and took me to anemotion I didn't know existed.

LeadershipMy leadership was incredible. They made sure I was at every appoint-

ment and ensured I knew all my options so we could take the best courseof action. This allowed Emmitt and Kristina to go to one of the best hos-pitals in the nation for children with severe problems. If he had any chanceof survival, it would be there and my leadership made it possible.

I was given emergency leave so we could stay at the nearby RonaldMcDonald House allowing us to be close to the hospital with the best carepossible. In the end, the doctors couldn't save our son but knowing wetried has made our situation easier to live with.

Air Force FamilyI received calls, texts and messages from many people sending condo-

lences and asking if there was anything they could do. A vast majority ofthose people I had just met within the year and a half of my enlistement,not in my 24 years before; they were co-workers, mentors, instructors andmy leadership. It was my Air Force family that really made the effort tomake sure we were okay.

We had the funeral in our hometown, so he could be near family. It wasa difficult day that I wish no parent will ever have to go through.

Before the funeral, my brother came up to me and said, "Your friendsare here." As I went to the back of the room, I saw four familiar faces thatI recognized from base. A chaplain, two co-workers and my fearless leadertraveled the 303 miles to be there for me and my family. I felt over-whelmed with emotion to the point I could barely breath.

It may not be as obvious as time passes, but they are still helping me;whether they know it or not, just by being a friend, mentor and alwaysunderstanding. I don't know what would have happened without theresources provided to my family by the Air Force and to my family backat McConnell, but I do know that because they picked me up, I can put mybest foot forward.

Remembering Desert Storm: Where we are today in the Total Force ContinuumBy Brig. Gen. Craig La FaveTotal Force-Continuum Office

“See all those contrails heading north, captain?” the salty lieutenant colonelasked me on Jan. 16, 1991.

“Yes sir!” I replied flying as a brand new aircraft commander in the C-141BStarlifter.

The contrails covered the darkening sky and seemed like hundreds of fin-gers reaching north into Iraq to grab Saddam Hussein. “That means we are atwar,” said the colonel, as the cockpit fell silent and each crewmember pon-dered the greater implication of the contrails.

That was a quarter of a century ago this week, marking the opening salvoin Operation Desert Storm. The operation was an American shock and awecampaign to evict Hussein from Kuwait and displayed airpower that the worldhad not seen since Operation Linebacker II over Vietnam.

I was honored to be part of the largest air bridge in history, often flying 24-hour airlift missions from Torrejon and Zaragosa, Spain, or Ramstein Air Baseand Rhein Main, Germany, to locations in Saudi Arabia such as Dhahran orRiyadh. The ramps at these locations were so full and it was sometimes diffi-cult to find the assigned aircraft to preflight. Loading crews were challengedto keep up with the volume of cargo and people necessary for the fight.

We would often augment our crews with “pool pilots” -- additional pilots toextend our crew duty day. Each day was long and hot; our ground times “down-range” were short but filled with the apprehension of dreaded “Scud” missilealerts. Tired crews would return to Europe for a short rest before repeating theprocess. We were all supported by the greatest cast the world has ever known,filled with maintainers, aerial porters, fuelers, logisticians and services Airmen.

All told, the total force flew over 69,000 sorties in support of Desert Storm.The operation also saw the first comprehensive use of stealth and space tech-nologies integrated with precision guided weapons.

Twenty-five years later, my C-141B has long ago been retired, replaced bythe C-17 Globemaster III. While much of our Air Force has been modernizedsince that first night in the desert, our average aircraft age today stands at 27

years. We have gone from having 188 fighter squadrons during Desert Stormto 54 today. Aging combat aircraft such as our B-52 Stratofortress and KC-135Stratotanker are slated to keep flying for a decade or more.

In Operation Desert Storm, I was an Airman in the regular component whenit consisted of over 600,000 Airmen; today, it has decreased to approximately313,000 Airmen. Even with that size, Desert Storm required more than 48,000Air Reserve component Airmen to remove Hussein from Kuwait. As a resultof a smaller force, our Air Reserve component consisting of over 105,000 AirNational guardsmen and 69,000 Air Force reservists have gone from a strate-gic reserve force to one that provides daily operational capability and surgecapacity where needed. These figures do not include the vital capability ourAir Force civilian Airmen bring to the fight.

Southwest Asia is no less secure and in some ways is more complex and dan-gerous even though Hussein is long gone. Commitments to our friends and alliesare not decreasing, so we will continue to rely on the total force more, not less.

In my current role in the Total Force Continuum Air Staff office, our team islooking for the most efficient mix of regular, Guard, and Reserve Airmen in eachprimary mission area. In the aggregate, our analysis shows that our Air Force is atleast 12 percent too small for current requirements. Just as during the peak of DesertStorm, we are “all in” and have cleared the bench to meet current requirements.

We are also looking at policy and legislative ways to make our total forcemore integrated by preserving and leveraging the strengths and efficiencies ofeach individual component. Programs that will allow transitioning betweenAir Force components, provide career development opportunities, and featureour three components working more closely together will become the normover the next 25 years.

In commemoration of Desert Storm’s largest air campaign this week, makesure you thank a veteran for serving in the operation, and ask a wingman orrelative who participated about their experiences. If you’re reading this andnot part of the world’s greatest Air Force, consider joining either the regular,Reserve or Guard component. We may be smaller than in 1991, but we’re themost lethal air, space and cyber force; and there is no question our total forcewill continue to answer our nation’s call!

By Senior Airman Jonathan Lane315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

With the statement, “This will not stand” by PresidentGeorge H. W. Bush, the largest mobilization of U.S. Air ForceReservists since the Vietnam Conflict was initiated to respondin support of Operation Desert Storm Jan. 16, 1991.

For, then, Charleston Air Force Base’s 3,618 Reservists,1,413 Airmen were called upon to serve in the efforts to liberateKuwait in what would later be known as the Gulf War. Still serv-ing today, Reservists remember their experiences from that time.

As a part of one of the first flying squadrons to get the call,Chief Master Sgt. Bryan DuBois, now the loadmaster super-intendent for the 317th Airlift Squadron here, was assigned tothe 701st Airlift Squadron as a brand new Airman.

“It was a busy day and everybody was in an uproar,” saidDuBois. “We came into the auditorium and there were somesenators and some congressmen from Charleston who came inand welcomed us to active duty and gave us a little pep talk.Here I went from a guy who was new off the street, a youngstudent, to being on the first flight out to Germany. We thenheaded out on a C-141B to get pre-positioned for the flows ofaircraft that were going to be coming.”

In a six month time period, Air Force C-141B Starliftersfrom Charleston AFB flew over 568 missions. These missionsincluded 3,240 sorties with 633 of them being inside of thearea of responsibility. The crews endured numerous chal-lenges, which included friendly fire, SCUD attacks, world-wide terrorism, air-to-air missile attacks, airway congestion aswell as sand storms.

“A typical mission was we’d leave here, go state side some-where, load cargo, go to MaGuire [AFB], crew rest, anothercrew would be waiting,” said DuBois. “They’d take your air-craft within three hours or sooner. We couldn’t get enough.They had planes that were coming straight out of depot thatthey didn’t even have painted. They needed airlift so bad thatthey said, ‘Hey send them, we’ll paint them later.’”

The 38th Aerial Port Squadron here was another unit that

was mobilized to contribute to the mission. They were sent tosupport one of the largest ports in the AOR, which was basedout of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, according to Chief Master Sgt.Deborah Cole, 38th Aerial Port Squadron senior air reservetechnician.

“When we first got there, there were no services,” saidCole. “We had chow hall tents. We did our laundry in bucketsand used to hang up our clothes. We lived out in the middleof the desert. We had a tent city, that’s it.”

The 125 aerial port members that were deployed to serviceapproximately 120 aircraft a day and were required to work12-hour shifts, said Cole. From loading cargo to passengers,the aerial port squadron remained busy with no notice of whatwas happening next.

For the flying squadrons, the days were also lengthy withlittle rest periods, said DuBois.

“It was like a 24-hour day,” said DuBois. “We would gofrom Spain or Germany, down to Saudi [Arabia] and thenback. You would do it in one day. You would leave and itwould be snowing up there in England or wherever and thenyou’d land down there and it would be 120 degrees and thenyou’d go right back to the snow.”

At Charleston AFB, the 315th Aerospace MedicineSquadron was busy with their tasking of establishing a 250-bedAeromedical Staging Facility, said Chief Master Sgt. AnnHamilton, 315th aerospace medicine squadron superintendent.

“We were initially activated with everybody else for sixmonths,” said Hamilton. “They brought in three other unitsfrom other areas to back-fill the Aeromedical Staging Facilitythat we had set up. The intent was for patients to air-evac[from the war zone] to Charleston.”

During the Desert Storm operational period, Reservists hadnumerous memories of events that stayed with them 25 years later.

“I remember going into one airfield in Saudi Arabia and hav-ing to go out one night to put the struts down and I remember anF-16 taxiing by and I just happened to look over,” said DuBois.“He was loaded down with bombs and rockets, there wasnowhere else to put anything on it. I remember getting goose

bumps and thinking ‘those bombs aren’t coming back,’ and Iwatched as it turned and hit the afterburners as it took off.”

The fighters were also memorable to Cole.“When the fighters would take off, we would count ‘two,

four, six…10, 12, 14,’ all the way to 24,” Cole said. “Well, ittook them two hours to get up to Iraq and back. When theycame back, ‘two, four,’ we would count. When 24 hit theground we would go: ‘Whew, we’re all back safe!’”

As they reflected on their deployments, Desert StormReservists were left with feelings of pride and patriotism forthe service that they were able to accomplish.

“No one told us when we were leaving,” said Cole. “Oneday in June, the commander came in: ‘Get your bags packed.There’s two C-5s on the tarmac and they’re leaving in twohours.’ I said ‘really,’ and he said ‘you need to tell everybody,Col.

The United States Air Force Biomedical Sciences Corps(BSC) celebrates its 51st anniversary this year. The men andwomen comprising the BSC have a wide range of intellectualbackgrounds, enabling them to lend their expertise and expe-rience to patients and colleagues Air Force wide.

The BSC's origins can be traced back to the Army SanitaryCorps and the Army Medical Administrative Corps. The AirForce Medical Service (AFMS) was created in 1949 when thecombat elements of the Army Air Forces separated from theU.S. Army to form the U.S. Air Force. As the AFMS contin-ued to expand, there was a need to separate administrators andlogisticians from scientific and allied technical specialists. On

28 January 1965, the BSC was established when GeneralCurtis Lemay signed the Department of the Air Force SpecialOrder CA-5.

The BSC is one of five officer corps in the AFMS withmore than 2,400 officers. BSC officers are supported in theircareer fields daily by 5,800 active duty enlisted techniciansand personnel who are integral to the mission. Unlike othercorps where members have very similar jobs, BSC's are a verydiverse with 15 different Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC)covering 18 distinct career fields supporting the variousAFMS missions. The following career fields fall under theBSC: Aerospace and Operational Physiology, Audiology,Bioenvironmental Engineering, Clinical Dietetics, ClinicalSocial Work, Health Physics, Medical Architects, MedicalEntomology, Medical Lab, Medical Physics, Occupational

Therapy, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, PhysicianAssistant, Podiatry, Psychology and Public Health.

Diversity is our strength, we work together to provide a broadspectrum of clinical and scientific expertise impacting the healthand well-being of Joint Base Charleston's members, their familiesand retirees. Nine of the 18 BSC career fields are represented hereat JB Charleston: Bioenvironmental Engineer, Clinical SocialWork, Medical Lab, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy,Physician Assistant, Psychology and Public Health. There are 15BSC officers and more than 100 BSC support personnel, enlisted,civilians and contractors assigned to the 628th Medical Group.

To recognize the achievements of the men and women ofthe BSC, the 628th Medical Group has many activitiesplanned to help observe BSC Appreciation Week. Please joinus Jan. 25 - 29, 2016 as we celebrate.

From DoD News, Defense Media Activity

Defense Secretary Ash Carter provided the department’s condolences to the loved ones andfamilies of 12 Marines who’ve gone missing since two Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallionhelicopters, each with six crew members aboard, are presumed to have crashed off Hawaii’sOahu Island Jan. 14.

The U.S. Coast Guard suspended the search for the missing Marines Jan. 19.“Our hearts go out to the loved ones and family members of 12 Marines missing since an

apparent helicopter collision off the coast of Hawaii last week,” Carter said in a DoD newsrelease issued yesterday. “While there is no way to comprehend the grief their families feeltoday, this we do know: These proud Marines died as they lived, in service to a country theyloved and in dedication to a cause greater than themselves.”

Carter said he also wanted to extend his gratitude to the Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy, andMarine personnel “who have been absolutely unwavering in their efforts to locate and rescuetheir colleagues.”

He added: “For the men and women who encountered rough seas and heavy swells over thecourse of these operations, ‘leave no man behind’ was not a simple slogan; it was a solemn oath.We deeply appreciate their determination and the strong support they received from state andlocal authorities and the people of Hawaii.”

According to the Marine Corps Base Hawaii website, the missing 12 Marines are:-- Maj. Shawn M. Campbell, 41, of College Station, Texas;-- Capt. Brian T. Kennedy, 31, of Philadelphia;-- Capt. Kevin T. Roche, 30, of St. Louis;-- Capt. Steven R. Torbert, 29, of Florence, Alabama;-- Sgt. Dillon J. Semolina, 24, of Chaska, Minnesota;-- Sgt. Adam C. Schoeller, 25, of Gardners, Pennsylvania;-- Sgt. Jeffrey A. Sempler, 22, of Woodruff, South Carolina;-- Sgt. William J. Turner, 25, of Florala, Alabama;-- Cpl. Matthew R. Drown, 23, of Spring, Texas;-- Cpl. Thomas J. Jardas, 22, of Fort Myers, Florida;-- Cpl. Christopher J. Orlando, 23, of Hingham, Massachusetts; and-- Lance Cpl. Ty L. Hart, 21, of Aumsville, Oregon.

"The loss of these 12 brave Americans is a tragic reminder of the risks our men and women inuniform take each day in service to our country,” Carter said in the release. “Today and on all days,we remember that it is because of their dedicated efforts that we live in peace and security.”

Tax season has arrived and volunteers at Joint Base Charleston are prepared to help clientsfile their taxes on time. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Centers will be locatedat the Air Base in Salon A at the Charleston Club and at the Weapons Station in Building 206,Room 123A (DEERS and ID cards office). The tax center at the Air Base will open January25, 2016 and will open at the Weapons Station mid-February. The tax centers at both locationswill operate Monday through Thursday from 0800 until 1500. Extended hours and/or addi-tional days may be provided at a later date.

The VITA volunteers at both locations are trained to accomplish basic, military and inter-mediate tax returns. As a general rule, VITA volunteers are not trained to provide advancedreturns. However, best efforts will be made to accommodate clients in need of advancedreturns. Examples of advanced returns include, but are not limited to, stocks, capital gains andlosses, business income, other gains and losses, IRA deductions, foreign income and extensiverental property (active duty military members with moving expenses and who own rental prop-erty are still eligible for the VITA program).

Due to the expected workload, tax returns at the Air Base and Weapons Station will be pre-pared by appointment only. The VITA Center will not be able to assist clients on a walk-inbasis. Additionally, the tax center will not have the capability to make copies; therefore, clients

must bring the original and one copy of the following items with them to their appointment:• Military, retiree, dependent ID card to verify eligibility (copy of ID card is not required)• Social Security cards for all personnel to be claimed on tax return; or ITIN's, if applicable• Bank routing and account numbers (for direct deposit and electronic debit if applicable)• Organized receipts that are applicable to your return (business, work related expenses,

charitable, medical)• All W-2 statements• All applicable 1099s• 1098-T (Tuition statement - if you were a student in 2013 you may need one. Usually

arrives in March)• Last year's federal and/or state return(s), if applicable• Any documentation related to inflow and outflow of incomeThere is no requirement for military members to use the tax centers to prepare or file their

returns. For many, do-it-yourself services offer an easy alternative to waiting for an appoint-ment at the tax centers and for those with advanced tax returns. The following web sites pro-vide these do-it-yourself services:

Where do you turn when you needmental health services?

By Kevin M. HymelAir Force Surgeon General Public Affairs

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – January 2016 marks the 25thanniversary of Desert Storm, it also marks a turning point inAir Force Medical Service's Critical Care Transport Teams(CCATT). "We were not serving the Army as well as we couldhave in the Air Force," explained Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Paul K.Carlton, a former Air Force Surgeon General who had beenworking on the concept of CCATT since the 1980s.

As the U.S. military and its allies assembled in the MiddleEast in the summer and fall of 1990--Operation Desert Shield--in response to Iraq President Saddam Hussein's invasion ofKuwait, then-Col. Carlton set up the 1,200-bed Air Force1702nd Contingency Hospital in combination with an ArmyCombat Support Hospital outside of Muscat, Oman. Yet, asDesert Shield turned to Desert Storm on January 19, 1991, thehospital only took in 42 patients, and those were only fromsurrounding bases. "We did not get any war wounded," saidCarlton, who offered beds to the CENTCOM surgeon in aneffort to better utilize the facility.

To make the case for his hospital, Carlton traveled to thebattlefield to offer assistance. "I picked up a couple of Air-EVAC missions just to let more people know we existed," hesaid. "I told Army commanders to send anyone to us." But itsoon became apparent the Air Force could not meet theArmy's needs. "We could not take people with catheters ortubes, much less needing a ventilator."

Instead of relying on the Air Force, the Army built largehospitals closer to the front. "The Army built up just like theydid in Vietnam," said Carlton. "They had a very big footprint."AFMS leadership wanted smaller hospitals connecting backto the United States, but to do that, they needed a moderntransportation system. Although Carlton and other colleagueshad been working on improvements to patient transportationsince 1983, air evacuations were still very restrictive. The

equipment needed to keep a patient alive was new anduntested. "Modern ventilators blew out lungs all the time,"explained Carlton. "We needed to work the kinks out andwe needed the opportunity to work in the modern battle-field. We needed critical care in the air."

When the war ended in late February, Carlton and otherAFMS officers returned home and brought their CCATTideas to the Air Training Command. "The war was not anaberration," Carlton said, "we had to modernize our theaterplans to be able to transport patients." Carlton and his col-leagues trained three-person crews to work with new andimproved ventilation equipment aboard airplanes. "Thatwas the long pole in the tent," he explained. "When youtake a critical care patient you say 'we can ventilate thatpatient,' and you better be able to." With the new programup and running, the AFMS made CCATT available to theother services.

CCATT gained momentum when, in 1993, Carlton andhis colleagues traveled to Mogadishu, Somalia, for an afteraction brief on the U.S. Army's "Blackhawk Down"engagement, and explained CCATT to the Joint SpecialOperations Command (JSOC) surgeon. He, in turn, handedCarlton a check and said "I want that as soon as you can makeit."

The turning point came in 1995 during the Bosnian War,when an American Soldier riding a train to Bosnia was electro-cuted by an overhead wire and fell off the train. He was imme-diately transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center,Germany, where doctors wanted him transferred to the burnunit at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.

When Maj. (Dr.) Bill Beninati picked up the patient for theflight to the United States, he was still very unstable.Somewhere over Greenland, the patient went into septicshock and Beniniati and his team resuscitated him. When theytouched down in San Antonio, some twelve hours later, thepatient was in better shape than when he left. "That's when the

Army took notice," said Carlton. "We had convinced themthat we could do what we said."

Soon, the Air Force Surgeon General at the time, Lt. Gen.Alexander Sloan, approved the CCATT concept. Later, withthe strong endorsement of Air Force Surgeon General Lt. Gen.Charles Roadman II, CCATT became a formal program.

CCATT proved invaluable in the next conflict, OperationIraqi Freedom, where casualty evacuation became a vitalnecessity, as well as in Afghanistan. Carlton is proud ofCCATT. "We have developed a modern transportation systemto go along with the modern battlefield for the Army, Navy,and the Marines." Today, CCATT is considered a vital compo-nent of AFMS, but it took a war to liberate Kuwait some 25years ago for the military to realize how badly it was needed.

As I prepare to leave the 628th for my new unitlater this month, I find myself thinking aboutgoodbyes. I simply am not good at saying good-bye and I am certainly not alone.

We form wonderful relationships with peoplewe love and enjoy and don’t want our time togeth-er to end. Yet, with goodbyes, there is the fear thiscould be the last time we will see each other and

we don’t want it to be. In combatting the discom-fort when goodbyes loom, I make sure to remem-ber what a blessing it has been to have known thepeople I am saying goodbye to. I think of what Iwould have missed had I never met them, even ifI feel the time has been much too brief.

Originally, goodbye came from the phrase,“God be with ye.” So, as I say my goodbyes to the628th, I pray that He is with you: in your work, athome and throughout your lives.
