You are concluding a busy day at work and you receive anauto-email reminder that your ancillary training is due. Aftera few minutes of negotiating the training module, you are con-gratulated on the completion of your annual InformationAssurance training. What this means to most is that you areable to log back on to your government computer and catch upon unread emails without the risk of being locked out tomor-row (in theory). You are now the cyber-savvy user entrustedwith the virtual defense of the government network. Let's step back and look at a day in the life of a Department

of Defense employee and consider the many pitfalls that leavethe unsuspecting person at risk.Your day began 10 minutes before the alarm went off with

the sound of a screaming child coming from the baby monitor.While feeding the kids, you open your tablet to check thenews, social network profile, and/or an e-mail. Your deployed

buddy just posted a 15 mile run around base - what a beast! Itlooks like you also have an invitation email from a businessnetworking site you belong to from a job recruiter. Might aswell accept it - you might be PCSing soon and your spousewill be looking for a new job.You're dressed and ready to go. Keys, cellphone, badges

and hat - check! Wait, where's your work laptop? Oh, it's inthe car outside. Suddenly the home phone rings before youcan leave and your spouse yells to you to answer it."Hi, I'm a network administrator from your Internet Service

Provider. I'm contacting you because we've detected that yourcomputer is infected with a virus." You hand the phone toyour spouse since you're already late for work. "Can you takethis?" Your spouse asks if it is okay to use the debit card forpurchases at the local home improvement store today. With aquick "yup," you're finally out the door.Driving to work, you decide to make good use of your time

by enabling your hands-free device to knock out a few calls.You arrive to work and see 100 new unread emails. This will

require more coffee, so you quickly run to get a cup and leaveyour ID card in the workstation unattended ... you'll only be asecond. Upon reviewing all those emails, you see a hot taskto collect personal data on your troops for the new recall ros-ter. You quickly compile this information and click send sinceit was due 15 minutes ago. You decide to send it to your per-sonal email as well since it may come in handy during thoseunexpected snow storms. Before you know it, lunch time! It's Friday so you're going

to your favorite restaurant. Some of your friends may be inthe area, so a location "check-in" is a must. Your cell connec-tion seems to be weak, but luckily you're in a free hotspotarea. You log into your bank account and transfer funds tocover a recent purchase.After returning to work, you notice an e-mail with the sub-

ject title, "Click the link - this is so funny." It appears to befrom a friend. You click the link, but it takes you to a weirdwebsite. Oh well, you figure it's just an error or broken link.

KEY WEST NAVAL AIR STATION , Fla. – The 701stAirlift Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, S.C flew two C-17Globemaster III aircraft and transported 117 members from the315th Airlift Wing to Key West Naval Air Station, Fla., Oct. 16,for a four-day readiness inspection mission.The training mission was part of the 315th AW's unit effec-

tiveness training, which is the Air Force's new way of evalu-ating a unit's wartime contingency and force sustainmentreadiness.Lt. Col. Ronnie Schier, 701st AS director of operations, said

the training mission started as a simple fly-away."The genesis of the training mission was originally orches-

trated as a fly-away to a different environment that would pro-vide multiple sorties, multiple jets and joint-force trainingwith United States Southern Command and SpecialOperations Command South," Schier said. "As the fly awayevolved it went from flying and dropping paratroopers to con-ducting readiness training in multiple areas to count towardour UEI."In the past, an operational readiness inspection was con-

ducted approximately every five years to evaluate and meas-ure the ability of a unit to perform, and all aspects of a unit'smission readiness were evaluated by outside inspectors visit-ing the base or deployed locations.

In December 2013, the 315th AW was the first Reservewing to undergo a UEI, which was designed to shift responsi-bility of a wing's mission readiness to wing commanders whoare now responsible for the new inspection system.

By Lt. Col. Brad Brainard628th Security Forces Squadron commander

A few years back, I had the pleasure of a com-pany grade officer group mentoring session withChief Master Sgt. Gary Colman, USAFE com-mand chief master sergeant. At the time, my unitwas prepping for a higher headquarters inspectionand I asked him to share his thoughts on why someunits garnered best practices while others weremarginal. His reply really stuck with me as he didn'ttalk about checklists, deep dives, root cause analy-sis or managing programs. His advice focused on people as the single most

important factor of successful mission execution.He said regardless of rank or time in the military,recognizing a member for outstanding perform-ance plays a huge part in individual and unit readi-ness, morale and achievement – that a focus on rec-ognizing people would not only pay dividends in ashort term inspection rating, but create long termimprovement by energizing high performance 24-hours a day, seven days-a-week. He explained most of us simply want to know

that what we do is appreciated. Whether recogniz-ing someone informally with a simple pat on the

back, or through more formal channels like quar-terly and annual award programs, acknowledging amember's efforts and hard work is an outstandingmotivational tool that builds confidence, fostersgrowth and encourages the learning process. Italso helps subordinates to see the big picture - howtheir job contributes to the success of the organiza-tion and the overall fulfillment of base readinessand the military mission - which in turn, blazes apath for future team successes. In addition, providing outward and sincere

recognition inspires others to do well – which oftencosts nothing and takes only a moment to accom-plish. It fosters an exponential effect by encourag-ing other members to set high goals so they too canbe recognized, and great performers boost uniteffectiveness, which motivates others to high per-formance, which in turn fuels best practice results.It's this positive feedback loop that transformsgood units into great ones. Leaders at all levels are responsible for creating

a work environment that inspires trust, teamwork,respect and pride; these qualities naturally stimu-late excellence. While there are many differentlevels and aspects to this responsibility, providingencouragement through recognition is the founda-

tional building block to outstanding performance.Often it's a duty that seems so simple, yet is oftenforgotten. Every Team Charleston member plays avital role in our overall readiness and missionaccomplishment. As leaders, supervisors and men-tors, I encourage you to take the time to recognizethe hard work of your teammates and subordinates.Be bold, get involved. Be thoughtfully intrusiveabout knowing your people and their accomplish-ments, and when warranted, acknowledge, supportand celebrate their efforts. Your teammates do agreat number of things perfectly every day that iscritical to our national defense. Stop and notice!You will enjoy improved performance and betterrelationships when you catch and commend peoplefor doing things right. I've often thought about the chief's encourage-

ment to express our gratitude to others, and tonever overlook that the highest praise we can giveis not to simply say words, but to live by them.Ultimately, by highlighting a job "well done"today, will help produce bold leaders of tomor-row – and it's our commitment to "serve all" and to"thank all" for a job well done. Thank you Team Charleston for the great job

you do every day.

Recognizing Airmen is always a best practice

By Gen. Larry O. SpencerAir Force Vice Chief of Staff

WASHINGTON – Just as Airmen broke the sound barrier and pioneerednew paths to space, Airmen will pioneer new ways to prevent sexual assaultin the Air Force. Preventing this crime is not easy; if it were, you, America’s Airmen, would

already have eliminated it from our force. As we begin this new fiscal year, Iask for your help in pioneering new ways to prevent sexual assault in theforce. To be clear, preventing sexual assault focuses on the individual thatcommits the crime and how to intervene before a crime takes place. Whether the campaign is called ‘Inherent Resolve,’ ‘Airmen Powered by

Innovation,’ or ‘Every Airman Counts,’ your ideas are at the forefront of solv-ing every challenge the Air Force faces, and eliminating sexual assault is nodifferent. In the past several years, we have made great improvements in our sexual

assault response programs. We added more sexual assault response coordina-tors and funded full-time victim advocates at each installation. We stood up aspecial victims’ capability that is comprised of specially trained investigators,prosecutors, and legal support personnel to appropriately prosecute these sexcrimes. We also significantly increased our victim advocacy capability withspecial victim counselors that are available to all sexual assault victims andwhose sole purpose is to represent the victim in any legal proceedings or assistin any other legal and policy matters a victim may need.

We have also spent a great deal of time training and educating every Airmanabout sexual assault prevention and response. This education starts from theday an Airman walks into a recruiting office, and continues throughout theircareer. However, our job is far from done. While we’ve made progress in victim

advocacy and appropriately holding offenders accountable, there is still signif-icant work to do in preventing sexual assault before it happens. Together, weall need to get better at recognizing the characteristics of the perpetrator andthe subtle situations in which we can stop harassment, assault and violencebefore it happens. This is where I need your help. January 12–16, 2015, we are conducting a Sexual Assault Prevention

Summit at Andrews Air Force Base, MD, and will bring in Airmen from acrossthe force to participate. While only some of you will be given the opportunityto attend in person, I want all of your ideas on how we can better prevent sex-ual assault. Please visit the Air Force’s ‘Every Airman Counts Blog’ athttp://afsapr.dodlive.mil/ and submit your ideas and any other thoughts youhave about creating an Air Force free from sexual assault. It’s going to take all of us working together and exploring innovative ideas

to come up with a practical toolkit that we can all use to effectively preventthis horrible crime from taking place in the Air Force. I appreciate you taking the time to make the difference and to bring us to

the next level in the fight against sexual assault.

Taking a stand: Help win the fight against sexual assault

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM,Hawaii – October is national Breast CancerAwareness Month and 15th Medical Group person-nel here have launched a campaign to educateAirmen about the disease.According to Staff Sgt. Jennifer Ferguson, the

15th Medical Group Women's Health Flight NCOin charge, early detection is the best protectionfrom breast cancer.The American Cancer Society cites breast cancer

as the second leading cause of cancer death in women,noting that about one in eight women in the U.S. willdevelop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.Ferguson reminds women that it's their responsibility

to take a proactive role in their health care."Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clin-

ical breast exam performed by a health profession-al every three years during their well-womanexam," she said. "Monthly self-exams are recom-mended for women starting in their 20s because itis a way for women to notice if any breast changesoccur, in which case they should report it to theirhealth professional right away."In addition to monthly self-exams, women over

the age of 40 are encouraged to have a yearly mam-mogram and clinical breast exam."When found early, the five-year survival rate

for breast cancer is 96 percent," Ferguson said.Though breast cancer is widely thought to be a

disease that affects only women, men should alsoeducate themselves on the disease. According to

the American Cancer Society, breast cancer affectsabout one in 1,000 men."Men should do checks too," said Lt. Col. Toneka

Machado, the 15th MDG chief nurse. "The earlieranyone can detect it, the better the prognosis."Though October is officially recognized as

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Machado saidpreventative care and early detection should be apriority all year."So many women are uncomfortable with the

idea of breast cancer or they are uncomfortabletalking about it in general," she said. "Some peoplethink because there's no family history they are notat risk, but don't think it can't happen to you. Breastcancer is very real and it affects all parts of oursociety both male and female. These are the thingswe want to bring awareness to."

Early is detection key to combating breast cancer

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio – I was privileged toattend and participate in the Air Force Association Air and Space Conferenceheld near Washington, D.C. last month. It was simply outstanding.There were many inspirational moments. The pride that I felt during the pres-

entation given by our Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh was incredible. Manythemes rang through loud and clear. Lead among them, our Air Force vision:"The world's greatest Air Force – powered by Airmen, fueled by innovation."Gen. Welsh offered many great examples of Airmen dedicated to excellence

and – together with their families – making extraordinary sacrifices to defendAmerica in all three domains: air, space and cyberspace. The nugget for mewas, although we have incredible people teamed with the very best technolo-gy, it's the American spirit that makes us the world's greatest Air Force. In thewords of Gen. Welsh, we can never lose the heartbeat of the American spirit.It is and always has been the secret to our success.Our leaders emphasized the new capstone 30-year strategy document,

"America's Air Force: A Call to the Future." As the commander of the AirForce Research Laboratory, this was an incredible source of pride for mebecause of AFRL's key role as the Air Force's science and technology innova-tion center. We provide direct support to the concept of "strategic agility" byleveraging technology.During AFA, I also had the opportunity to speak, and I mentioned AFRL's

three lines of operations: We are Revolutionary, Relevant, and Responsive to

the warfighter.I'm often asked, what comes next? What is on the horizon? As a global tech-

nical enterprise, AFRL is Revolutionary. We are the lens that focuses thenational technical base to solve the tough Air Force problems, and our game-changing technologies answer those questions. The "AFRL Game Changers"are revolutionary technologies that make and keep the fight unfair. TheseGame Changers focus on three areas – Hypersonics, Directed Energy, andAutonomy. I sincerely believe that our investments in these areas will pay offin a tremendous way.AFRL is Relevant. This is our focus on delivering new capabilities in the

mid-term. Our investments in advanced adaptive turbine engines, sensors, andefforts to use new technology to enhance affordability and sustainment aregood examples.Finally, AFRL is Responsive. Warfighters ask, and we respond with agility.

We urgently work on those vital, high-priority challenges demanded by ourwarfighters "now." Creative capabilities that leverage existing technologies todefeat improvised explosive device threats and weapons to take out hard anddeeply buried targets fit here. We can't predict the future, but one thing is certain: Our commitment to

keeping the technological advantage over our adversaries isn't going awayanytime soon. Our team of AFRL Airmen – military, civilian, and contractor –all take pride in envisioning and creating tomorrow's Air Force.Attending AFA served as a friendly reminder of how great our Air Force

truly is. You can find our senior Air Force leaders' video presentations andtranscripts online. Check them out and feel the pride!

Cutting edge technology equals revolutionary, relevant, responsive AF

According to Schier, the nice thing about a UEI is the trustthat Air Force leaders give to units to do the right thing."We assign our inspectors, we assign the training and noth-

ing is going to be grazed over," he said. "We take our UEIseriously, and integrity is always at the forefront of our self-inspection process."The training provided here was evaluated by inspectors from

the 315th AW, and the inspector's evaluations will be part of thewing's capstone - which is a culmination of inspected trainingevents performed by the wing during a two-year time period.Over the course of the four-day trip, multiple flights pro-

vided training opportunities for aerial refueling missions, andAirmen from the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadronhoned their skills performing medical scenarios in the cargocompartment of their flying hospital.Each day Airmen on the ground received training in self-

aid and buddy care, water survival and other survival trainingwhich was provided by two 315th AW survival evasion,resistance and escape instructors.Pulling off a training mission of this size took a team effort,

and Master Sgt. Stephanie Kimbrell, a logistics plannerassigned to the 315th Logistics Readiness Squadron, said thatshe and her team were brought on board in August to helpwith the planning process.Kimbrell assisted with planning the "logistical footprint"

of the training mission - lodging, transportation, passengermanifests, conference rooms, etc."The mission planning presented several challenges, which

is expected when moving approximately 117 Airmen at once,but we were able to overcome these obstacles and move themission forward," said Kimbrell. "Making sure all points ofcontact had the correct data as it related to lodging reserva-tions and transpiration were some of the items we handled."Moving past the challenges, Kimbrell said there are many

benefits to training collectively and seeing our total force inaction."Training like this not only allows us to discover process

challenges, it also tests all of the moving parts such as our pas-senger terminal and inspector general team," Kimbrell said."This type of training mission presented a somewhat rareopportunity to move this many Airmen at once." Typically, Kimbrell works with one or two Airmen or much

smaller groups consisting of 30-40 personnel."For me, the highlight of this training resulted in 100 per-

cent accountability and our ability to overcome some of thelast minute personnel adjustments," she said."Communication between the home station and our deployedlocation were major factors to the success of the mission."Lt. Col. Bobby Degregorio, 315th LRS commander, helped

coordinate the mission, which he said closely resembled howthe Air Force operates and makes best use of resources uti-lized in today's military environment.

"Because of the decline in the operational tempo, thistraining gave us the ability to maintain our mobilitymachine on the support side while giving the operators achance for a 'one-stop shop' training environment," he said."This four-day operational exercise helps us to comply withthe new UEI process and how we do our jobs."Looking forward, Schier is already working on the next

fly-away with a major focus on aircraft maintainers."Keeping our aircraft ready to deploy at a moment's

notice helps us ensure that we will always be ready toaccomplish any mission we are tasked with here at the315th," he said. "We have four excellent crew chiefsdeployed with us here, and they have done an awesome jobmaintaining our two aircraft. We are already looking at ournext fly-away and how we can provide a training environ-ment for our maintainers that will provide around the clockaircraft generation training to challenge them and all of thethings that go into their world."

The Gaylor Dining Facility on Joint Base Charleston recently changed to a new operatingsystem called Corporate Automated Food Enterprise, or CAFÉ."The new CAFÉ program will eventually be implemented Air Force wide," said Tech. Sgt.

Harvey Greenwood, 628th Force Support Squadron dining facility manager. "There is somecontrol of the menu at the local level, but in a lot of circumstances you may see some of thesame things being served on the same days at different bases."The CAFÉ system was implemented Oct. 14, 2014, and brings with it a 21-day cyclic menu,

as opposed to the previous 14-day menu cycle. The new schedule allows for healthier andfresher additions to the food choices offered to DFAC patrons, like fresh herbs, fruits and veg-etables. Every day the DFAC receives shipments of fresh, frozen and non-perishable food, but how

it is prepared is now different. The CAFÉ' system broadens the menu selections, opening up

culinary choices to more than 700 different recipes for entrees, sides, salads and more, pavingthe way for themed meals and new ways to prepare classic ones. "There is a slight price increase because of the fresher ingredients, but it shouldn't be sig-

nificant, especially when the facility's food choices are better for our Airmen's health," saidGreenwood.Since Airmen living on base are the DFAC's primary customers, the benefits they receive

far outweigh any negligible price increases.CAFÉ will also expedite wait times. Airmen living in the dorms can now simply scan their

Common Access Cards and proceed through the lines as opposed to entering their social secu-rity numbers under the old system.These reduced wait times are sure to be a hit, especially when the dining facility is seeing

almost 600 patrons a day; the busiest meal being lunch. Tack on an additional 500 food itemsto the DFAC's inventory, and you have a good reason to visit the DFAC even if you're not adorm resident.

Dining facility undergoes changes for the betterThe Patriot • October 31, 2014 5

You finished responding to e-mails andattend a few meetings, but before you pullyour ID card for the last time that day, youhear that familiar "ping" - looks like ancillarytraining is due today. You think to yourself,this will be easy. I'm very cautious of myactions, and I've been around computers longenough to know the safeguards.At this point in the story, it's obvious there

are numerous "cyber" pitfalls that expose us;many times we are unsuspecting victims. Asthe internet of things expands from digitaldevices to home appliances, we must be evervigilant of our actions online. So, let's sum-marize the warning signs and make recom-mendations based on best practice.Baby monitor: All connected devices are

vulnerable. It's critical to keep devices andcomputers patched with the latest devicefirmware or anti-virus and anti-spyware soft-ware. Secure your home network withencryption (WPA-2) on your wireless router.Mobile devices: Ensure your devices have

mobile device management, strong pass-words, and parental controls enabled.Unsecure Laptop: Since personally identi-

fiable information (PII) is the launching pointfor most hacking activity, leaving your laptopor mobile device unsecured in vehicles or inhotels could lead to theft and eventually adata breach. Look for laptops with self-encrypting hard drive features and use laptoplockdown cables. Social Networking: Enable privacy/security

settings, disable GPS locators, avoid posting PII

Robotic Urological Surgery

www.rs3.com/roboticsWE ACCEPT TRICARE

There are many urological conditions that may require surgery such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer or an ureteral

obstruction. Traditionally, these procedures were done through long painful incisions. Fortunately today, our patients

have a better option – robotic surgery.

With just a few tiny incisions, our patients now have a smaller scar, less pain, shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery.

How wide and deep is your faith? There is a parable about a father with a

vineyard and two sons. The father asks bothsons to work in the vineyard. One son says, I will not, but later went and

worked. His faith was an inch wide and a miledeep. Defiant at first, yet in the end he obeyedhis father.

The second son said I will, but did not gowork. His faith was a mile wide but an inchdeep. Submissive on the surface, but he didn’tkeep his word. Faith that is a mile wide and a mile deep,

calls for submission and obedience to theCreator’s authority. This can be hard becausewe like doing our own thing and answering tono one. Deep faith in our Maker or trust in ourfellow Airmen takes a willingness to servebeyond our own interests.

How deep is your faith?

From Health.mil

With cases of the respiratory illness Enterovirus D-68 being reported in South Carolina, itis important to make sure all members of the military community are informed and safe whenconfronting this illness.Enterovirus D-68 is spread like most common colds - through contact with surfaces or

objects an infected person has coughed on, sneezed on or touched. Also like a cold, there areno effective vaccines or antiviral medications to fight or prevent it, so early detection and careare vital to treatment.Enterovirus D-68 primarily effects children 16 weeks to 16 years of age, and the most com-

mon symptoms to watch for are traces of a cold or respiratory illness like a fever, runny noseor cough. Parents need to be especially vigilant in regards to children with asthma, and shouldbring their children to the base clinic or emergency room if their children are wheezing or hav-ing difficulty breathing.Anyone who suspects they or a family member may have Enterovirus D-68 should contact

their physician or the base clinic for more information. If suffering from severe symptoms,such as difficulty breathing, patients should visit the emergency room or call emergency med-ical services.Anyone feeling under the weather should remain at home.• Cover mouth (tissue or sleeve) when sneezing or coughing and promptly dispose of the

used tissues. • Wash hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds - particularly after coughing,

sneezing or blowing one's nose, after going to the bathroom and before eating. • Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by

different people, including telephones and computers. • Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups

or eating utensils, especially with anyone who is sick.For more information on Enterovirus D-68, there are

numerous guides and fact sheets that can be found on theCenters for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov website.By following proper precautions and prevention methods,

Enterovirus D-68 should have little effect on Joint BaseCharleston personnel and their families.

Airmen assigned to the 437th MaintenanceSquadron volunteered their time to be "bud-dies" during a Miracle League baseball gamefor special needs children, Oct. 25, 2014, inSummerville, S.C.According to the Miracle League website,

"the goal of the Summerville Miracle Leagueis to enhance the lives of people with specialneeds. This will be accomplished primarilythrough the national pastime of baseball, butwill also include other activities that willbring together our athletes and their familiesin a positive and enriching way."The Falcons, a team in the league, has been

sponsored by the 437th Airlift Wing for thelast three years. Each team will play a total of13 games during the season, with two, eight-week seasons a year. The 437th AW providesjersey's for all of the players as well as a con-tinuous support system of volunteers."Everyone from the wing participates."

said Senior Airman Shelby Redman, 437thOperations Support Squadron airfield man-ager. "Every week there is a differentsquadron in charge of providing 12 to15 vol-unteers for the game"The volunteers act as "buddies" to the chil-

dren to ensure safety and assisting the chil-dren when needed. The kids pick their ownbuddies just before the game starts. The bud-dies assist the children wherever they needhelp, whether it's batting, running or justsharing an encouraging word. ."It's inspiring for them to overcome all their

hardships in life. It's really great to give backand help them have a good time." said Redman.Redman has been a coach for the Falcons

for the past two years, with Airman 1st ClassMatthew Vanderbosch, 437th MaintenanceSquadron, joining to assist with coaching thisyear."This is my first season" said Vanderbosch,

"I am really enjoying helping the kids; watch-ing them smile and have a good time makes itall worth it."

According to the Miracle League website,"We cannot change or cure the medical issueslife has dealt disabled individuals. What wecan do is provide them with an opportunity toexperience the joy and benefits that comefrom playing our national pastime - baseball."The league is always looking for new vol-

unteers and players to make the games evenmore enjoyable."As we acquire more volunteers, we

would like to extend the volunteer opportuni-ties to not only our team, but to the otherteams as well so the entire league can havebuddies for the kids." said RedmanTo find out more information or to volun-

teer please contact Senior Airman ShelbyRedman at shleby.redman@us.af.mil orAirman 1st Class Matthew Vanderbosch atmatthew.vanderbosch@us.af.mil.
