The U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center is the Air Force's Center of Excellence for advanced expeditionary combat support training and education, while also providing direct oversight for en route and installation support, contingency response and partner capacity building mission sets within the global mobility enterprise. The Expeditionary Center provides operational control of the Expeditionary Operations School and administrative control for six wings and two groups within Air Mobility Command.

The 628th Civil Engineer Squadron has a project underway that expands the Air Base's Main Electrical Substation. As the project nears completion, a major Air Base outage is required to connect the new elec- trical feeder to the substation. The outage will impact the entire Air Base from about 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The primary date for the outage is September 7, 2015, Labor Day. The holi- day was selected to ensure minimum impact to mission facilities. In the event of inclement weather, the outage will be moved to October 12, Columbus Day. Housing Residents: If anyone in your household has special needs which require electrical equipment, please notify Forest City as soon as possible at 843-552-0600. Power outages are inconvenient, but with a little planning and preparation, you'll be able to minimize the impacts to your family. Here are a few helpful hints: • Minimize opening the refrigerator and freezer doors. This will keep the cool air from escaping sooner. A full freezer will safely hold food for 48 hours; a half- full freezer will safely hold food for up to 24 hours. • Keep refrigerators and freezers plugged in, and one small light so you'll know when power is restored. Turn off remaining electrical appliances and light switches until power returns. • Do not use gas grills, gas ovens, or anything that uses gas or propane indoors. These can release carbon monoxide gas and cause suffocation. Never burn/cook anything without proper ventilation. • Generators should only be operated outdoors. Never connect a generator directly to the home power/fuse box. • Plan to have batteries available to operate flashlights and radios if needed. The best advice is to plan activities out- side the home that day. This will preclude your dependency on power and help pass the time period that power out.

U.S. Navy Corrections System - A HistoryBy Commander Brett PugsleyNaval Consolidated Brig Charleston

Over the last century, the U.S. Navy corrections system has evolved alongthe lines of corrections practice and philosophy used by civilian institutionsaround the nation. By replacing the "Articles for the Government of theNavy (Rocks and Shoals)" with the Uniform Code of Military Justice in1951, progressive improvements in the treatment of naval offenders resultedin the prohibition of many harsh forms of punishment, such as flogging andkeel-hauling, that were unique to navies world-wide. One carry-over fromthe past is "confinement on bread and water or diminished rations for notmore than three consecutive days," for military personnel in pay grades E-1to E-3 who are attached to or embarked in a vessel.The Chief of Naval Personnel assumed responsibility for the Navy correc-

tions program in March 1944. Large, centralized programs for "retraining"were the basis of the system for the next 15 years. In 1959, the RetrainingCommands (Norfolk, VA; San Diego, CA; Portsmouth, NH) were disestab-lished. By closing the Retraining Commands, the responsibility for the Navycorrections program was transferred to local command level where it wasbelieved programs using education, counseling and assistance in problem-solving would be effective in creating attitude changes in navy prisoners. A200-year-old tradition ended on April 28, 1969, when the term "brig" wasreplaced by "correctional center" for the facilities ashore. However, thisproved unpopular and the term "brig" was reinstated a decade later.The Navy's corrections mission is: 1.) to return as many people to honor-

able service as possible or, barring that, 2.) return them to civilian life asproductive citizens. Along with many other changes in the military specifi-cally and society in general, the Navy corrections program underwentnumerous revisions during the late 1970's and early 1980's. NAVCONBRIGCharleston has an additional mission to, when directed by superior authority,detain enemy combatants in accordance with the Geneva Convention.In 1979, the Chief of Naval Operations ordered a task force to review

Navy corrections. Subsequently, the adoption of recommendations by thetask force re-emphasized discipline within the system and the need to oper-ate brigs within the framework of military missions and needs. In 1981, asecond task force expanded the changes to the system and placed responsi-bility for routine operations and inspections with the fleet and operationalcommanders throughout the service. In addition to these management deci-

sions, the study implemented mandatory motivational programming andcounseling. The changes also ordered separate program tracks for thosebeing returned to duty and for those being discharged after confinement.One of the more significant studies was completed during 1985 and wasapproved by Admiral James D. Watkins, Chief of Naval Operations.Performed by two nationally recognized criminal justice consulting firms incooperation with representatives from all major Navy commands, The NavyDiscipline System Study reviewed the entire Navy disciplinary system fromapprehension to release recommending a three-tier brig system. The studybrought Navy corrections into the spotlight and greatly assisted in gainingthe necessary support within the Navy, Department of Defense, andCongress to complete revamping of the Navy corrections system.A renewed commitment was made to having a viable, effective restoration

program as well as equipping those individuals being separated with theskills necessary to become more productive citizens. In 1985, theCorrections and Programs Division of the Bureau of Naval Personnel beganimplementing the program generated by the Navy Disciplinary SystemStudy. Called the "three tier concept," the first or lowest tier consists of 10waterfront brigs confining prisoners with relatively short sentences or per-sonnel awaiting trial. The second tier consists of two consolidated brigsresponsible for holding prisoners awarded punitive discharges and servingmedium length sentences. The third tier is the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks atFt. Leavenworth, Kansas, where prisoners serving lengthy sentences are sent.This move was part of an overall change in the way the Navy incarceratedits offenders. Previously, a brig could house prisoners with sentences rang-ing from a few days to several years. This system now permits prisoners tobe grouped by sentence length for treatment purposes.Today, the Commander, Navy Personnel Command, Millington,

Tennessee, is responsible for providing technical assistance in administeringthe Navy corrections program worldwide including ship's brigs and ashoredetention and confinement facilities. This mission is accomplished by theOffice of Corrections and Programs (PERS-00D) at Navy PersonnelCommand. The three Naval consolidated brigs are located at Joint BaseCharleston, Naval Weapons Station, Charleston, South Carolina; MarineCorps Air Station Miramar, California; and Naval Support ActivityNorthwest Annex, Chesapeake, VA. The staff of NAVCONBRIG Charlestonconsists of over 200 Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Army active dutymilitary and civilian staff.

Suicide and Stress ... Combat StressBy Lieutenant Colonel David Faggard1st Combat Camera Squadron

Suicide seems to be a more common occur-rence today in the military than when I firstjoined.According to government data being highlight-

ed in mainstream media and online, 22 veteransare "successfully" committing suicide daily. Whileevery day life pressures and combat stress arechallenges, they are temporary. An issue that mayseem insurmountable today may not be tomorrow.There are so many options for Airmen and otherveterans to "successfully" deal with temporaryproblems other than a permanent solution like sui-cide. The majority of suicide issues I've dealt with in

my career were related to stress – primarilymoney, significant-other or work-related issues.Now, I also see combat stress, which is magnifiedby everyday life pressures. All these stress-induc-

ing situations are temporary; suicide is not. The military prides itself on innovation and

ingenuity in the face of serious problems. Weshould approach the various types of stress astemporary problems we service members mustdeal with – and overcome – every day together.According to Military One Source, there are

people in our community who may be more atrisk than others: a young, unmarried man who hasrecently returned from deployment; someone whomay be experiencing health problems or alsosomeone who may have a heavy drinking or sub-stance abuse problem.Those identified above may also be dealing

with combat stress. Some warning signs, accord-ing to Military One Source, include: problemssleeping, uncharacteristic irritability or angry out-bursts, unusual anxiety or panic attacks and signsof depression (such as apathy, persistent sadness,feelings of hopelessness, poor hygiene).It is important to remember, no one needs to

deal with stress alone. There are thousands ofservice members, ready to help. There are professionals at every level of the

Department of Defense willing to engage. Manylocal options at Joint Base Charleston are avail-able; including talking with supervisors, first ser-geants and commanders. If command channelsaren't possible, there are other options to includethe Chaplain at (843) 963-2536 on the Air Base or(843) 764-7222 on the Weapons Station, the men-tal health flight in the Medical Group at (843)963-6852 and even anonymous discussions withMilitary One Source or the Veterans Crisis Line toname just a few.Help is just digits away at 1-800-273-8255 or

through confidential chat and text, 838255. Thereare also options for peer-to-peer consultations forstress and many other areas.At a moment in time, a stressful situation may

seem like a problem that has no solution; but theyall do.

Money, manpower and minutesBy Capt. David Liapis92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs

FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE,Wash. – I'm about to make a big statement,so pay attention.I believe anything physically possible can

be accomplished with the right amount ofmoney, manpower and minutes. That's right.Anything. Just look at some of the amazingarchitecture and technology devised by theRomans, Egyptians and others throughouthistory. Look at where technology was 20years ago (can you say "beepers" and "VHStapes?") compared to today and try to con-vince me anything possible is impossiblewith the right mix of people, cash and time.However, the removal of any one of

those three components will severely ham-per the accomplishment of whatever goalwe undertake. Take away two and itbecomes nearly impossible; three and the word "impossible" must be addedto our vocabularies.We live in an era of less in the Air Force - less money, less people and,

seemingly, less time - yet, we are still managing somehow to get the jobdone ... for now. Our top leaders have been trying to warn our elected offi-cials that all the fat and even meat has been trimmed and we're now shavingbone. Sounds pretty doom and gloom, right?At this point we have a choice to make: are we going to take the motiva-

tional-poster advice and not worry about things we can't control and dosomething about the things we can, or are we going to give into the kind ofdespair expressed by Frodo Baggins in J.R.R. Tolkien's Return of the Kingand say with him, "The whole thing is quite hopeless, so it's no good worry-ing about tomorrow. It probably won't come?"Most of us in the Air Force have little to no control over budgets or man-

power. Sure, we can "Make Every Dollar Count" and try to be the best man-agers of manpower resources we can be (both of which are great ideas), butat the end of day we only have as much of those commodities as we have.I know many of us also have little to no control over our schedules or the

fact we have to "do more with less," but our time is really the one third ofthe trifecta of possibility over which we have the most control. If you dis-agree, read on anyway. I hardly agree with myself.We're all bound to have those days every once in a while where all hell

breaks loose and we're running around likedecapitated poultry from can 'til can't, but whatabout the other "normal" days? What can we doto work on our time management skills so webecome expert time users?Here are a few things you might consider:1. Put the smart device down more often. It

could be making you dumb. Admit it, you wasteas much time as I do needlessly checking email,stocks, scores and updates. How many "TPSreports" could have been done or staplers foundwhile you were working on that perfect play onWords With Friends? How many meaningfulmentoring conversations could have occurredwhile we've been enamored with staring at athree-inch screen?2. Learn ways to multi-task. Try reading text-

books, promotion study material or other profes-sional development books while on the treadmillor elliptical machine. It's hard to get used toreading while in motion, and will probably make

you go blind ten years early, but isn't that promotion or degree worth it?3. Learn to delegate (and trust) your subordinates. It's true, most Airmen

are fully capable of doing so much more than we push them to do. Stopovertasking yourself and that one really good NCO and spread the wealth.You're not only hurting yourself and the mission, you're preventing those"untrustworthy" Airmen from earning your trust and learning how to replaceyou someday.4. Take a time management course. It's well worth the investment.5. Don't be lazy. Laziness is the number one contributor to wasted time.The above suggestions are by no means scientific or found in an Air Force

Instruction, but they are derived from real-world experience. There's no per-fect answer to how to better manage our time, but realizing we need to do itis really the first step. From there you can come up with your own snappylittle list of steps (feel free to rip off mine).Archimedes supposedly once said, "Give me a lever long enough and a

fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." I say, "Give meenough money, manpower and minutes, and we can do anything. However,since we're constrained by budgets and congressionally mandated manpowerlevels, I'll settle for Airmen who know how to manage their time well."Keep making every dollar count and balancing manpower as best as possi-

ble, and let's all see what we can do about maximizing the 1,440 minutes weget each day.

(This article is part of Joint Base Charleston's Integrated Delivery System series. These sto-ries focus on an IDS program, highlighting their services.)

While the challenges of working in the military can be physically and mentally demanding,there is an Air Force support organization to assist those who may feel confused, stressed,overwhelmed or out of control.The 628th Medical Croup Mental Health clinic helps Airmen, dependents, civilian employ-

ees and other military branches with treatment and recovery from mental illness, drug andalcohol abuse or everyday stress. The clinic staff consists of two social workers, three psychol-ogists and three psychiatrists.Major Sonia Pons, 628th MDG Mental Health flight commander, offers treatment to joint

base beneficiaries, emphasizing medical group safety and ensuring the 24/7 emergency on-callservice is always available. Additionally, whenever possible, Pons educates JB Charlestonabout substance abuse and treatment."Our mission is to maintain and enhance mental health for the joint base population," said

Pons, "We provide many avenues for our patients."When it comes to getting treatment, it starts with an appointment and an assessment to

determine what kind of help might be needed. Whether a psychiatrist, who can prescribe youmedication, or a psychologist or even a social worker, is the best option, the Mental Healthclinic will do their best to find the right treatment plan for their patients.To take advantage of the Mental Health clinic's services it is as simple as walking in or call-

ing to make an appointment. No referral is necessary. Occasionally, an individual is given aCommander Directed Evaluation from their commander to report to the Mental Health Clinicfor an assessment. In these cases, the commander wants to ensure the person is mission readyand is doing well.The Mental Health clinic sees about 1,200 new patients every year for treatment and recov-

ery."Usually when people are being seen, it is mainly due to occupational and or relationship

problems as well as induced sleep disturbances and anxiety," said Pons.Inside the Mental Health clinic, there are the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Training

and the Family Advocacy programs. Both provide routes to assist patients in their recovery.Mental Health, ADAPT and FAP are important parts of the Integrated Delivery System. IDS

is a working group consisting of organizations providing family services and offering preven-

tion and education activities related to individual, family and community concerns.Tech. Sgt. Laurie Gutierrez, 628th MDG ADAPT non-commissioned officer in charge, has

been in the Air Force for more than eight years."What I like about my job is that it is very interesting," Gutierrez said. "It is always some-

thing new and, being there to help others is so rewarding, just like the other jobs in the medicalfield."

Mental Health often gets a bad reputation, but Gutierrez believes otherwise."Some people fear coming to Mental Health thinking that the stigma could negatively affect

their career," Gutierrez said. "But the reality is, if you wait until things are really bad, that iswhat will impact your career. Coming in before the situation is truly a problem will minimizethe effects on your career.""The beautiful thing about mental health is it has the most cohesion, teamwork and trans-

parency of anywhere else, because we know people," said Pons.Making these differences as a team has unified them all to help improve the patients' expe-

rience and outcome.The Mental Health Clinic's skilled staff and established programs can help those who feel

confused, stressed, overwhelmed or out of control, overcome their obstacles and return to afully functional lifestyle.For more information about JB Charleston's Mental Health Clinic or to set up an appoint-

ment, please call (843) 963-6852.

From 315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The 628th Security Forces Squadron recently published a memo to clarify and standardizeits policy for gate entry of Department of Defense ID cardholders who are entering at JointBase Charleston, S.C., and escorting non-DoD affiliated visitors/guests utilizing the TrustedTraveler Policy.The TT policy allows DoD ID cardholders (active-duty military, DoD employees, family

members ages 18 and older, and retired service members) to verbally vouch for no more than10 occupants in their immediate vehicle, provided the TT vehicle operator or TT passengerpossesses a valid DoD ID card; i.e: Common Access Card (Military/Civilian/DODContractor), Dependent ID card (18 and older), and/or DBID Card with escort authority.Once a visitor is vouched for and permitted entry, the DoD ID cardholder becomes the

escort for all of their guests while they are on base for the duration of the visit. Escorts can beheld liable for the actions of their guests and for escorting barred personnel or criminals withactive warrants for their arrest onto the installation.If guests require unescorted access to base, or they are a foreign national, both the escort

and the guest must stop at the VCC where a background check will be accomplished and abase pass will be issued, if approved. Additionally, if a guest is transporting the sponsor andbe bringing their vehicle onto JB Charleston, the driver must show valid registration andproof of insurance.The TT Policy is authorized through Force Protection Condition Bravo unless otherwise

directed. In FPCON ALPHA, 100 percent checks of vouched guests IDs are not required, how-ever, SF at the gate continue to reserve the right to ask all vehicle occupants (up to 10) orpedestrians to show ID cards if they have reasonable suspicion that the occupants of the vehi-cle or pedestrian group are breaking the law or violating base policy. Additionally, from 10p.m. to 5 a.m. all personnel entering JB Charleston, regardless of FPCON are required to pres-ent an authorized state-issued identification with picture or federally recognized ID card with picture. This ID card is required to allow SF ability to conduct a background check. Personnel

From 628th Medical Group

Have you ever wondered why you can run countless miles or use the elliptical machine forhours on end and you still can't lose weight? So you research the next workout fad or up-and-coming supplement but those too leave you with little to no results. Perhaps the next timeyou're on a computer, you need to research dieting plans to meet your fitness goals or over-all health goals. This article will inform you how combining proper exercise with ahealthy diet will not only help you lose weight but it will make it easier to keep thatweight off. You will also read about the different types of exercise you coulddo to help assist you with weight loss and improve your overall health.Diet combined with exercise is the most effective way to not only lose

weight but to maintain that weight loss.Specifically, researchers have found that adding exercise to

dieting will assist in the increasing the amount ofbody fat lost. More importantly,researchers found the most critical roleof developing a routine exercise regimenduring a diet is maintaining the weightloss after the diet is complete. Those whoincorporate exercise as part of their weightloss regimen were able to maintain theweight loss longer than those that did not.Time to get exercising! Below are some help-ful hints.

EXERCISE DURATION:• At least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity (minimum of 150 minutes per week). It

is preferable to exercise all days of the week to minimize the risk of cardiovascular disease,diabetes, and other chronic health problems.• However, this may not be enough for substantial weight loss!• The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends at least 200-300 minutes

of exercise per week (2,000 kcal/wk).• Benefits can be achieved even if you split the exercise throughout the day into 10-15 min-

utes blocks of time (with a minimum of 30 accumulated minutes per day).

EXERCISE INTENSITY:• The more intense the activity the more calories burned per minute. However, the key to

weight loss through exercise is long term compliance. So, you want to choose an exerciseintensity you can maintain!• Moderate intensity exercise (55-69% maximum heart rate) can be beneficial for manage-

ment of body weight.• More vigorous activity (>70% maximum heart rate) may be required to maintain body

weight long-term. However, don't overdo it and get injured!• One way to track your intensity is through monitoring your heart rate before exercising

and immediately upon stopping the exercise. During the exercise, stop again and check theheart rate to make sure you are exercising enough to get the full aerobic effect on your body.• You should be able to carry on a conversation during your exercise without becoming

breathless.• The more conditioned you become, the more you will notice that you have to do even more

vigorous exercise to get your heart rate up to its target.

AEROBIC EXERCISE:The most common form of exercise to help lose weight is aerobic exercise, such as walking,

biking, running or usingthe elliptical machine. It is important to choose an activity you enjoyso you will stick with it over time.

TIPS FOR STARTING AN AEROBIC EXERCISE PROGRAM:• The type and intensity of your exercise depends upon your health and activity level.• Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.

• Warm-up before and cool-down after exercise.• Check your pulse during exercise to ensure you are exercising at your target.• Start your exercise program and progress slowly.• Choose exercise activities that you will enjoy and continue (there are

many to choose from: walk, bike, ski machine, stair machine, jog, swim, etc.).• Progress up to 30-60 minutes of exercise 5 days per week ( avoid daily high

impact exercise). every day such as running)• Be consistent! Schedule your exercise and keep at it regularly.• Commit to exercising for 12 months. After that, you may notice exercise

has become a part of your life you do not want to give up.• If you feel that other members of your family would benefit from an exer-

cise program, encourage them to exercise with you. Your children would ben-efit by starting them at an early age to appreciate the value of a good exerciseprogram.CAUTION: Before starting any exercise program, discuss it with your

physical therapist or doctor to find a program appropriate for you. Aerobicexercise increases the blood flow to the muscles, increases the work of theheart, increases the oxygen capacity and overall improves functioning of theheart, lungs and circulatory system. When a person's heart is "fit", the personcan exercise vigorously for long periods without severe fatigue. The personis able to respond to sudden physical or emotional demands without asmuch strain to the heart or body. All the exercises mentioned in this hand-out are aerobic exercises.

See your doctor or physical therapist before starting exercise if:• You are over 40 and not accustomed to exercise• Have a history of heart disease, a heart murmur or have had a heart attack• Have a family history of premature (less than age 50) heart disease or heart attacks• Have a history of high blood pressure or you do not know your blood pressure• You have pain or pressure in the chest, neck, shoulder or arm after you exercise• You experience extreme breathlessness after mild exertion• You have joint, bone or muscle problems• You often feel faint or have spells of severe dizziness• You have diabetes• You have any other medical condition or are on daily medication

EXERCISE PRECAUTIONS• Stop exercising before reaching maximum exertion or pain. Do not continue to exercise

with a painful knee or hip.• Stop exercising if you feel any chest pressure or tightness and see your doctor.• If you are unusually breathless during the exercise, stop the exercise for at least one day,

and decrease the intensity of the exercise. If the feeling persists, consult your doctor.• Be aware of the temperature and humidity when you're exercising outdoors. Exercise only

if the conditions are suitable for the exercise you are doing.• Warm up your muscles before you begin and have a cool down (mild exertion) at the end

of the exercise period.• Drink lots of fluids while exercising (preferably water or low calorie drinks if you are dieting).

STRENGTH TRAINING AND WEIGHT LOSS:• Resistance training can improve muscular strength, power and fat-free body mass.• However, including resistance training as part of a weight loss program has not been

shown to be as effective as aerobic exercise for weight loss.• Strength training can improve function which may help promote a more active lifestyle for

those trying to lose weight.The next time you begin to start a workout plan or routine be sure to incorporate a healthy

diet plan to go along with that workout. As always, speak to your doctor and/or PhysicalTherapist and take the proper exercise precautions. Now that you have the knowledge andunderstanding to perform exercise properly, adding that to the proper diet will help contributeto optimal weight loss. Not only will it help with losing weight, it will help maintain thatweight loss to get you to a healthier and better you!

Proper Exercise + Healthy Diet = Weight Loss

Got Drugs? The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and JointBase Charleston's law enforcement agencies along with theDrug Demand Reduction Program will partner to provide thecommunity an opportunity to help prevent pill abuse by rid-ding their homes of potentially dangerous, expired, unusedand unwanted prescription drugs on September 26, 2015. Bring your prescription drugs to Joint Base Charleston BX

or the Naval Weapons Station NEX for disposal from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. Pills and patches will be accepted; liquids, needlesor sharps; will not. The service is free and anonymous, noquestions asked.This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public

health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets arehighly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates ofprescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as arethe number of accidental poisonings and overdoses. Studiesshow a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained

from family and friends, including from homemedicine cabinets. Further, misuse of prescriptiondrugs by military members and civilian employeescan lead to administrative or legal problems.Additionally, Americans are advised that the

usual methods for disposing of unused medicines--flushing them down the toilet or throwing them inthe trash--pose potential safety and health hazards.Last year, the DEA collected more than 324

tons of prescription drugs from more than 4,114sites operated by the DEA and their state and locallaw enforcement agency partners.

I remember as a kid reciting the old rhyme,“sticks and stones may break my bones, butwords will never hurt me.” Though it was funto say as a child, experience has taught me thatit was anything but true. The words we chooseto speak are powerful and often profoundlyaffect others. Our words can build others up ortear them down, encourage or discourage

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Commander, Navy RegionSoutheast Rear Adm. Mary M. Jackson signed a suicide pre-vention awareness proclamation at the region headquarters onboard Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Aug. 25, 2015.The proclamation recognizes September as National

Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and is intended to raisesuicide prevention awareness throughout the southeast region."Suicide within our ranks is an issue of vital importance,"

Jackson said. "Each time we lose shipmates, family members or co-workers to suicide, it is a loss to the Navy, and these losses can beprevented. It is our duty to be aware of the warning signs and to beprepared to take action with those in our lives who might be at risk."

According to the American Foundation for SuicidePrevention, one person dies by suicide every 12.95 minutes in theUnited States. That means more than 40,000 lives are lost to sui-cide annually in our country. Death by suicide is one of the mosttragic events a family and a community can experience and in theUnited States there are an estimated 1 million attempts each year. The Navy's 21st Century Sailor and Marine Program Suicide

Prevention Office's initiative encourages Sailors, Marines,commands, families, and civilian employees to empower them-selves by taking personal responsibility for their health, well-ness and growth - an important step in building resilience. TheNavy's 2015 suicide prevention message "Every Sailor, Every

Day: 1 Small ACT" stresses that simple, everyday actions canultimately save lives, and uses the Navy's bystander interven-tion model "ACT" (Ask, Care, Treat). The Suicide Prevention Office recently released a toolkit

which can assist Navy commands and Sailors in the fight to pre-vent suicide. It includes ways to encourage peer support, personalwell-being and bystander intervention throughout the year."In many ways it is all about relationships," said Capt. Robert

Williams, Navy Region Southeast's suicide prevention coordinator."It's about knowing the people around you and being as involved intheir lives as you need to be in order to be an effective bystander."

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – September isNational Preparedness Month and the Air Force Civil EngineerCenter is leading the charge for servicewide participation.With a theme of "Don't wait. Communicate. Make your

emergency plan today," this year's focus is on emergencyplanning, to include development of evacuation plans andfamily communication plans in the event of separation."Preparedness is the shared responsibility of our entire

nation," said Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work."Preparing individuals, families, components and installationsfor disasters and emergencies – from flooding to an activeshooter – ensures the strength of our workforce and our abilityto continue to safeguard U.S. security."During the month, each week will be focused on planning

for a specific hazard: flooding in week one, wildfires in weektwo, hurricanes in week three and power outages in week four.

The month culminates in National PrepareAthon Day Sept. 30."September 1 through 29 is more for passing out informa-

tion through pamphlets or commander's calls or other avenuesbases might use," said James Martin, the emergency manage-ment education and training analyst in AFCEC's ReadinessDirectorate. "On National PrepareAthon Day, Sept. 30, wewant to see bases actually conducting an activity. It could betable top exercises, drills or a wide range of other activities."To lessen the workload on base-level emergency manage-

ment offices, emergency management experts at AFCEC puttogether a marketing guide with links to social media posts,graphics and techniques to disseminate information effective-ly throughout the month."The emphasis should be to increase the comprehensiveness

of your campaign, engaging all members of your communityand highlighting the importance of preparedness, not just dur-ing National Preparedness Month, but year round," said HarleyConnors, the AFCEC emergency management division chief.All Air Force bases are encouraged to participate during

National Preparedness Month and National PrepareAthon Day."It's important to have time set aside that focuses on pre-

paredness because when people have the right information,they generally do the right thing when the real emergency hap-pens," Martin said. "It literally translates into saving lives."

Civil Air Patrol joins total force ‘Airmen’By Staff Sgt. Whitney StanfieldSecretary of the Air Force Public Affairs Command Information

WASHINGTON – When conducting missions for the AirForce as the official Air Force auxiliary, the Civil Air Patrol isnow included in the Air Force’s definition of the total force.CAP has provided 74 years of support to emergency services,aerospace education and cadet programs.In August 2015, the Air Force updated Doctrine Volume 2,

“Leadership,” expanding the Air Force’s descriptions of totalforce and Airmen to now consist of regular, Guard, Reserve,civilian and auxiliary members.Historically, the broader term Airmen referred to uniformed

and civilian members of the U.S. Air Force (officer or enlist-ed, regular, Reserve, or Guard) regardless of rank, componentor specialty.With this newest change, Air Force leaders should consider

each part of the total force, including the auxiliary, whendetermining the most effective and efficient ways to completethe mission. CAP has approximately 57,000 volunteers and550 aircraft assigned to more than 1,500 units stateside avail-able or currently supporting non-combat missions on behalf ofthe Air Force.“As a strategic partner, these unpaid professionals have

boldly served our nation saving the Air Force almost 40 timesthe cost of using military assets for each hour served,” said

Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James. “Inclusion inthe total force reflects the continuing key contributions of thishighly trained and equipped organization.”The auxiliary members, who fly the nearly 100,000 hours

per year performing disaster relief, counterdrug, search andrescue, fighter interceptor training, aerial observation andcadet orientation flights, will now be included in the totalforce and referred to as Airmen during the performance ofofficial duties in recognition of their contributions to the AirForce.“Civil Air Patrol enjoys a proud legacy of selfless sacrifice

and service to country and community that spans decades,”said Maj. Gen. Joseph Vazquez, the CAP national commander.“Our ability to augment the Air Force is second to none. Weprovide 85 percent of inland search and rescue missions anddisaster-relief support to local, state and national agencies aswell as aerial reconnaissance for homeland security, andremain continually postured to offer more.”Beyond CAP’s support to achieve its homeland responsibil-

ities for non-combat operations, the organization has been rec-ognized for their efforts to inspire hundreds of thousands ofcadets and K-12 students to pursue science, technology, engi-neering and mathematics education and training.“Civil Air Patrol’s increased exposure has a direct impact

on attracting youth interest in STEM-based activities whichare skills necessary to develop the innovative Airmen our AirForce needs,” said Chief of Staff General Mark A. Welsh III.“We proudly welcome the Air Force auxiliary by extendingour badge of honor as Airmen.”
