make it [to the reunion tour]. We wanted tomake this 'the best in show' for them," saidKunofsky.In addition to the demos, the vets and their

family members were able to board a 437thAirlift Wing C-17 Globemaster III."I can't believe this plane can get off the

ground," said John Boller, 3rd Infantry Division."I have a new perspective and appreciation forthose who fly these big airplanes."After their tour of the C-17, the veterans

were able to share their stories with Airmen andSailors."After being rescued as a prisoner of war

during WWII, I wish they would have flownme home on a C-17," said Kenneth Muston, BCompany 3rd Division. "The trip would havebeen much shorter and I probably wouldn'thave gotten sea sick."Their tour at JB Charleston concluded with a

National Police Week retreat ceremony. The Battle of Anzio occurred on the beaches

of Anzio, Italy in 1944. This battle was theAllied attempt to draw German troops off theGustav Line during Operation Shingle.

315th AW welcomes new command chiefBy Chief Master Sgt. Mark Barber315th Airlift Wing command chief

Greetings 315th Airlift Wing! I am Chief MasterSgt. Mark Barber, your new command chief.Let me begin by saying that I am honored and

extremely humbled by this opportunity. In additionto providing the commander with the enlisted per-spective on a number of different issues, I amresponsible for ensuring the wing's mission, vision;priorities and commander's intent are communicat-ed and executed. However, make no mistake, I amhere to serve you--our greatest strength andresource. As your command chief, I have nogreater responsibility toward ensuring mission suc-cess than taking care of our Airmen and their fami-lies. To that end, I pledge to everyone that I will give you my very bestand fullest support in the accomplishment of our mission. I look forwardto working closely with each of you as we meet the challenges in thecoming months and years.One of my first priorities will be the formation of our very own 315th

AW Top 3 Council. Next, we'll plan on doing the same for a 315th AWRising 6 Council. Your enlisted councils are led by highly motivated anddedicated professionals who want to make a real difference in the lives ofour Airmen. These councils are in need of your time and talents.Therefore, please consider getting involved (or becoming more active)with our present Chief's Group, present First Sergeant's Council, futureTop 3 Council and future Rising 6 Council.My leadership philosophy is pretty simple: Lead with your head, listen

to your heart and respect everyone. Leading with your head is acting con-sistently with your core values and taking responsibility for personalchoices. Listening to your heart is having passion, purpose and payingattention to that inner voice. Respect for everyone means treating peoplewith fairness, dignity, and respect while expecting others to do the same.I expect our SNCO leaders and supervisors to provide clear guidance,

enforce standards and mentor junior enlisted Airmen and NCOs.Therefore, one of the primary responsibilities of SNCOs is to ensure thatNCOs are provided the training, equipment, and facilities needed to suc-cessfully execute the mission. As our Air Force becomes more jointlyconnected and smaller, SNCOs hold positions with increasing levels ofresponsibilities and trust. Let us not forget, our nation trusts and expects

us to take care of its sons and daughters, to treat them right andto train them properly in carrying out the mission as safely aspossible. Hence, as SNCOs, we need to ensure that all Airmenhave a voice, feel relevant and understand the big picture. Wemust provide them with clear guidance and direction.I expect our NCOs to continue to grow and develop as lead-

ers, supervisors, managers and mentors, while continuing todevelop competencies in preparation for increased responsibili-ties. Additionally, they must continue to meet, and strive toexceed, the standards and expectations levied upon junior enlist-ed Airmen. NCOs need to lead by example exhibiting profes-sional behavior, military bearing, respect for authority and thehighest standards of dress and appearance. NCOs must takeownership of those they have been given the honor to leadensuring their Airmen are properly trained and held accountablefor mission accomplishment. The key for the NCOs is to create

and maintain an environment for our Airmen to thrive and grow.I expect our junior enlisted Airmen to be trained, qualified, ready and

prepared to carry out our wing's mission. Further, it is expected theybroaden their technical skills and pursue both on and off-duty educationalopportunities. I want each of you to remember how critical you are tothis wing and the Air Force, as a whole. Everyone matters, everyone's jobis essential and everyone in the Air Force is a leader, regardless of rank.Last, but certainly not least--our families. Without question, military

families have sacrificed much toward the development and success of theirAir Force spouses, and deserve to be a priority in our lives. Clearly, a corre-lation between family readiness and mission readiness exists. The strengthand resilience of our family members is vital to enhancing readiness andprovides critical support as we carry out our wing's mission. So don't waitanother day, make it a point to thank your families for their unwaveringsupport and sacrifices. Having said that, I'd like to take this opportunity toacknowledge my own family and thank my wife Pamela and two sons,Tyler and Alex, who have supported me every step of the way.Further, I would also like to formally acknowledge the contributions of

our departing Command Chief, Chief Master Sgt. Gigi Manning. Gigi, ofbehalf of the entire 315th AW, I want to thank you for a "job well-done"and wish you all the best in your retirement.Again, let me say how excited I am to be your command chief. It is

indeed an honor to serve alongside each and every one of you. I look for-ward to making a difference in your lives and in this wing.

By Col. Margret Jones628th Medical Group commander

Our lives are made up of hundreds of thou-sands of interpersonal interactions in both the per-sonal and professional arenas. When new mem-bers arrive to our group, I discuss four important"Cs": competency, compassion, courage and com-munication. These four C's are vital to the opti-mal performance of any unit and every interper-sonal relationship.Competency in your areas of responsibility is

essential. Your level of competency grows witheducation and experience. It is critical to masteryour duties and mission to the best of your ability.Continue to grow in everything you do, ask ques-tions, read, challenge yourself in your endeavors.Develop an intimate knowledge of the AFIs, poli-cies and protocols that guide your work section.Practice your craft to sharpen your skills. In themilitary, each time we join a new unit our compe-tency is reevaluated. We must re-earn the trust ofour peers, staff, and senior leaders. Sometimesthis can be frustrating; however, it challenges usas to continually improve. Strive to learn some-thing each day, take each assignment as a newadventure and deepen your competency in yourprimary mission.Compassion is important in all aspects of human

encounters. Some think compassion is only some-thing you do for others; however we need it for

ourselves as well. We are often our own worsecritics. In order to be compassionate towards oth-ers we need compassion towards ourselves.Compassion leads to kindness and mercy. In thework area, we should be conscious of our actionsand reactions and be compassionate in ourresponse. Yes, we will make mistakes, pick your-self up, learn and press forward. How we respondduring good times, is easy; how we respond in dif-ficult times shows our true character and molds usinto the kind of person we ultimately want to be.Some equate compassion with weakness; I do notbelieve this to be true. It can be difficult to treatothers with compassion, especially during times offailure that affect the mission or create significanthardship for the team. Compassion does not implya lack of accountability it just means you treat oth-ers with respect, dignity and understanding.Courage in the important decisions of our lives

is imperative to character and leadership develop-ment. Sometimes the right path is not the easypath. Steven Covey speaks about courage in themoment of truth; the split second decisions wemake every day. These include small decisions:"Am I going to get up and go the gym?" to verydifficult decisions: "Am I going to take the keysfrom my friend who has been drinking toomuch?" Maybe it's being a good wingman andnot leaving a friend at the bar with someone theyjust met or speaking up when the rumor mill isspreading gossip all around us. All of these deci-

sions could put us in very uncomfortable positionsincluding the possibility of being ridiculed.However, not being courageous and interveningcould have severe consequences for ourselves andothers. Courage is not easy but it is how webreak the chain of a potentially catastrophic event.Communication; everything revolves around

communication. In any organization communica-tion is vital. Communication comes in manyforms but the most common are: written, verbal,and non-verbal. It is important to ensure aware-ness of what you are communicating both verbal-ly and non-verbally. Typically, non-verbal isstronger than verbal. You have heard the saying"Do what I say and not what I do." If we are notcareful, we could be sending this message and noteven realizing it. Also, be careful on "how" youspeak versus "what" you speak. It has been said,"It is not what you say but how you say it" thatdetermines the interaction with others. Finally, itis our responsibility to clarify something if we arenot sure what is meant. If we choose to leave asituation feeling confused or uncomfortable wemay degrade the relationship or unit. If we areunsure of what was said, or why it was said, weneed to speak up and ask for clarification.Competency, compassion, courage and commu-

nication are just a few ideas for how we better ourday-to-day interactions with others. Practicemakes perfect and we have a lot of opportunitiesto practice each and every day.

Have you ever found yourself in front of your commander for other thanhonorable reasons thinking, "How did I get here?!" How about runningslowly around the track on the last leg of your PT test or not having enoughstamina to push out that last push-up, suddenly realizing you will fail thiscomponent of the fitness assessment? Or, what about finding yourself in thatunhealthy relationship you said you'd never be in?Well, in the famous words of the hip-hop rapper Drake, sometimes things

can go from zero to 100 real quick! Zero to 60 typically alludes to the accel-eration of a fast car, but in life zero to 100 refers to significant events whichtranspire in our lives without warning. When it happens to you (and it will)just remember that although you may not always be able to control whathappens, you can control your attitudes and reactions. Here are a few help-

ful hints to help you overcome those situations:• Always try to see the positive side of negative events• Don't allow your past to define you! When people remind you of your

past ... inform them of your future• Have a realistic plan ... a plan of success. Benjamin Franklin once said,

"When you fail to plan, you plan to fail."• Surround yourself with good wingmen, mentors and people who gen-

uinely care for and support you• Lastly, remember ... it's never too early or too late to change for the

better. Never.The easiest thing to do when you find yourself in a Never-Ever-Did-I-

Think-I'd-Ever- type situation is become stagnant or doubt yourself. But youcan't stay there. As Airmen, we are called to fly, fight and win! So fightyour way out of those negative situations, fly above all expectations... andWIN!!

Diamond Tips: Never ever would I ever

From 628th Medical Group

May is National Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month andhere at Joint Base Charleston, the 628th Medical Group'sAllergy Clinic, is working to increase awareness about possi-ble triggers that may cause asthma symptoms. Spring is aprime time for seasonal air allergens, which could trigger asth-ma symptoms. The best way to control asthma symptomscaused by air allergens is to speak with your doctor. Your doc-tor will help you determine your triggers and create a preven-tion action plan. Common allergens are trees, grass andpollen. Other allergens are smoke, dust mites, mold, cock-roaches and pet dander.If you already know what triggers your asthma flare ups,

there are steps you can take to reduce your symptoms. Ifpollen is your trigger, you should limit your exposure to thepollen outdoors and/or use air purifiers to reduce the pollenwithin your home. If dust mites are your trigger, use dust mitecovers for your pillows and mattress. Also, frequently vacuumand steam clean your carpet. For pet dander, frequently batheyour pets, vacuum, and wash your hands after touching pets.

If you suspect cockroaches may be theissue, you can hire a professional exter-minator to control the issue within your

home. These are suggestionsto help control these triggers.For the best preventionand control of your asth-ma symptoms, contactyour medical provider.

Summertime is right around the corner, so it's time to make way for an outdoor activity justabout everyone loves - - the good old fashioned American cookout. Although cookouts mayseem like a simple task, there are quite a few factors that play a part in making sure that thefood is just right and ready for consumption. Most of the meats typically used for cookouts,such as beef, chicken and pork, are potentially hazardous and, if not handled correctly, cancause severe illness. Potentially hazardous foods are any foods that require time/temperaturecontrol for safety. Other possibly dangerous foods include eggs, fish, cut fruits and deli meats.There are specific foodborne bacteria associated with summer cookouts. According to the

Center for Disease Control and Prevention, "Salmonella is estimated to cause one million ill-nesses in the United States, with 19,000 hospitalizations, and 380 deaths." Another form ofbacteria associated with cookout type foods is Listeria. The CDC found that "approximately1,600 illnesses and 260 deaths due to Listeriosis occur annually in the U.S" These types of bac-teria can be prevented by knowing some of the best practices for food preparation.Here are a few things to keep in mind when considering a cookout:Handling Techniques:• Hot foods should be kept at 135 degrees Fahrenheit or above• Cold foods should be kept at 41degrees Fahrenheit or below• Handle ready to eat foods like hamburgers and hotdogs only with suitable utensils, such

as deli tissue, spatulas, tongs or single use gloves (not latex gloves)

Cooking Temperatures:• Fish- 145 degrees Fahrenheit• Pork and ground meats- 155 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 seconds• Poultry- 165 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 seconds• Use a food thermometer to best judge temperatureAvoid Cross Contamination:• Prevent raw meats from dripping onto ready to eat foods• Keep different types of raw meat separate from each other• Store unwashed food or raw food away from ready to eat foodsWashing Hands & Sanitizing Dishes:• Wash hands for at least 20 seconds, which is equivalent to singing the "Happy

Birthday" song• Utensils and food contact surfaces of equipment should be sanitized before and after use

with a chlorine solution of 50 ppm. This is easily made by using one cap full of householdbleach for every gallon of water.

Storing and Transporting Foods:• Protect foods from contamination by cover or wrapping them• Store food in a dry clean area and away from toxins/cleaning agents• Use leftovers ideally within 24 hours and discard within seven calendar days• Reheat potentially hazardous foods to at least 165 degrees FahrenheitQuestions or concerns about food safety? Contact Joint Base Charleston Public Health at

963-6944.

Keeping the summer cookout safe for all

The Defense Logistics Agency InstallationSupport for Energy Environmental Divisionparticipated in an oil spill response trainingexercise at Defense Fuel Support PointCharleston, S.C., April 20-21, 2015.Every year, DLA Energy conducts spill pre-

vention and emergency response training at itsthree permitted DFSPs. DFSP Charleston, is agovernment-owned, contractor-operated fuelstorage and distribution facility under theadministrative control of DLA Energy."Spill response training is part of a three year

cycle of training and exercise contract for bulkfuel storage facilities," said DLA InstallationSupport for Energy Environmental ProtectionSpecialist Mike Schultz. "Often referred to asOPA 90, the training is federally mandated bythe Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and thePreparedness for Response Exercise Programthat covers fuel spill scenarios."DFSP Charleston's primary function is to

receive, store, distribute and maintain inven-tory control of bulk jet fuel. Jet A jet fuel isdelivered from ocean-going tankers. Specialmilitary standard additives are added to thefuel and transferred via pipeline, tank truckand rail car to support the needs of variousmilitary-related organizations.

This year's scenario featured a simulatedmedium-scale spill when, during a transfer ofjet fuel, a valve ruptured and leaked morethan 3,000 gallons of Jet A."We hold this training annually to provide

spill response training and exercise supportfor the DLA Energy contractors that operateEnergy's bulk fuel storage facilities," saidDLA Installation Support for EnergyEnvironmental Compliance Branch ChiefMarcia G. Kicos. "Training is offered to fuelterminal employees as well as members of thecommunity's emergency response teams,including emergency medical technicians andhazardous material cleanup crews."The two-day training involves dividing the

attendees into various teams to deal with thespecific aspects of an oil spill emergency.Day One of the scenario consisted of an

overview of the Charleston DFSP facilityresponse and tabletop exercise, Schultz said.Each step of the exercise was discussed andrehearsed in response to the national pre-paredness for response exercise programguidelines and what to expect in terms of reg-ulatory authorities contacted, spill responseactions and team member responsibilities.Day Two of the scenario was the actual

spill response and equipment deploymentexercise during a simulated fuel transfer to atruck at the truck rack.

By Ms. Shelia Bacon From 628th ABW SAVA

Although sexual harassment and sexualassault are both criminal acts punishable underthe Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ),they have some differences. Sexual harassment is a violation of Title VII

of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, AFI 36-2706defines it as, unwelcome sexual advances,requests for sexual favors, and other verbal orphysical conduct of a sexual nature constitutesexual harassment when (1) submission to suchconduct is made either explicitly or implicitly aterm or condition of an individual's employ-ment, (2) submission to or rejection of suchconduct by an individual is used as the basis foremployment decisions affecting such individ-ual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose oreffect of unreasonably interfering with an indi-vidual's work performance or creating an intim-idating, hostile, or offensive working environ-ment. The person engaging in harassing behav-ior is typically in a position of power or author-

ity over the person being harassed and takesadvantage of that person’s trust and respect bycoercing them into sexual activity. The harass-er may use intimidation, threats, hostility, abuseand/or offensive behavior which can be sosevere, persistent or unescapable that it inca-pacitates the persons’ ability to participate in aworking or living environment. Sexual assault is considered a violent or abu-

sive, unpredicted, traumatic and sometimes lifethreatening event or series of events. Sexualassault is any unwanted sexual act or behaviorwhich is aggressive, violent, forced or coerciveand to which a person has not given consent orwas not able to give consent. The line betweensexual harassment and sexual assault can bedifficult to distinguish, so it’s important to reachout to on base resources to receive the propercare and information.For additional information or questions on

sexual harassment contact your EORepresentatives (843 963-3662) or SARC rep-resentatives for sexual assault (843 963-7881).
