Before joining the "real Air Force" as finance, civil engi-neering, maintenance and force support specialists, 22Airmen, who had just graduated from the First Term AirmenCenter, Jan. 22, 2015, were selected to become the newestmembers of the Security Forces Augmentee Program.After two-and-a-half days of training, these Airmen
became Joint Base Charleston's first security forces aug-mentees under a reinvigorated wing augmentation program. As the Air Force faces an uncertain future, persistent cuts
and more requirements with fewer people, being an Airman ismore demanding than ever. These Airmen were learning thatlesson as they prepared to personally become part of theIntegrated Defense team, learning everything from using apolice baton to subduing and searching an uncooperativeoffender – and a whole lot in-between.Security Forces Augmentee Training is designed to take
Airmen outside of their career field and provide them with theessential skills to perform basic security and police functionsin order to assist security forces members during times ofheightened threat and need. "Security forces augmentation provides the Joint Base
Integrated Defense Forces with enough personnel to ensurethe security of the installation is maintained during increasedforce protection conditions," said Master Sgt. Gary Gilliam,628th Security Forces Squadron NCO in charge of training.To meet this need, Airmen, mostly graduates from JB
Charleston FTAC, embark on a course that includes bothclassroom and hands-on exercises that show them the funda-mentals of what security forces does, such as guardmount pro-cedures, apprehending a suspect, searching, handcuffing andother duties. "It is important training and excellent public relations for
security forces," said Department of the Air Force PoliceOfficer Jimmy Brown, 628th SFS trainer. "It allows them to geta better feel of what security forces does and to better under-stand our important mission of how security forces trains." The training included 10 physically demanding core tasks,
including basic integrated defense concepts, use of force,team tactics, handcuffing, searches and more.Whether it is police tactics training or search techniques
that are taught, it is apparent the training helps carry outCharleston's mission."In times of critical need, we just don't have enough man-
ning to protect every facet of our mission," said Lt. Col. BradBrainard, 628th SFS commander. "The armed Security ForceAugmentee Program fills gaps and ensures the base missionand people are secure."The training can be an enjoyable and eye-opening experi-
ence. "Inside every Airman is a defender," said Capt. Jonathan
Blount, 628th SFS operations officer. "The augmentee train-ing these Airmen completed brought out that defender andunleashed the warrior ethos every member of the militaryhas."
Overall, security forces augmentee training is a valuabletool that provides a deeper appreciation for those who wearthe security force shield."The information I gained was valuable and it can be used
during personal situations at my day-to-day job," said Airman1st Class Marco Small-Gonzalez, 628th Civil EngineerSquadron heavy equipment operator.While the 628th SFS trains augmentees to protect the base,
it does not take a trained eye to notice something out of place,as everyone is part of the integrated defense team. "If you see something that looks out of the ordinary, say
something to the gate sentries as you're passing through or call911," advises Blount. "Just don't assume somebody hasalready reported it and leave it at that." Security force augmentees carry this same mentality far
beyond the end of their training. Equipped with knowledge ofIntegrated Defense, or total force awareness, they becomefirst-line defenders in their workplaces as well. The aug-mentee program is a real force multiplier, as these Airmen dis-perse their new knowledge to peers, supervisors and leader-ship to strengthen the innermost security of the base."At our graduation ceremony, several new augmentees
related that after going through the training, they had a deeperappreciation, both physically and mentally, of the challengesof being a security forces member and a greater respect of thecareer field's commitment to securing people and resources24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, under any conditions,"Brainard said.

Don't underestimate the value of your contributionsBy Major Brian Clark437th Maintenance Squadron commander
Have you ever said to yourself, "I'm just a (insert job title here)?" Atsome point in your Air Force career, I'm sure you've either thought it oractually said it out loud. As the commander of the 437thMaintenance Squadron, I've heard it many times. "I'mjust a crew chief" or "I'm just a Precision MeasurementEquipment Lab technician," so what difference can Ireally make or how can I be a leader? You can even takeyour individual duty title out of it and say, "But I'm justan Airman, why would they want to hear what I think?"Well, the answer is that you're WAY more than just yourrank! You're a vital part of the "Big Blue" team, and theAir Force cannot make the mission happen withoutYOU! As I sat in the movie theater watching American
Sniper recently, I caught myself thinking the same thing.In case you haven't heard, the biopic film outlines howlegendary Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle saved countless lives with his pin-point shooting accuracy and it also details his bumpy transition back tocivilian life as a family man. Chris Kyle's contributions to our nation'sdefense were nothing short of Herculean. Let's be real here; most of us,OK, likely none of us will be legendary snipers. But don't ever minimizeyour particular contributions! As I kept watching the movie, I noticed two
C-17s that were being boarded by redeploying Marines, and I was immedi-ately reminded of all it takes to get the Air Force's premier airlifter in andout of some pretty austere places. Rest assured they didn't get there on theirown. Our operators rely on so many moving pieces to come together inorder to accomplish what our nation asks of us. From finance to commu-
nications to aircraft maintenance, we ALL play a vital partin making the mission happen. Do you think it's an accident that the Air Force team
starts with E-1 and ends at O-10? Airmen of all grades,Active Duty, Air Reserve Component, or civilian are anabsolute necessity and don't ever doubt it. We need yourperspective, your technical expertise, your innovativeideas, and your leadership.When I was a young Airman, my flight chief at Eglin
Air Force Base used to routinely say that "leadership is nota rank." He would go on to say that it's our willingness tolive by our core values and told us we "could alwaysanswer the mail" if we did so. He was spot on with thatmindset, even though I may not have been a true believer
the first time I heard him say it. I thought it was way easier for a guy withseven stripes to think like that. As I've progressed as an Airman, I canvouch for my old flight chief's wisdom. So please humor me and let mereemphasize that you are more than just your duty title or your rank. You'rea professional Airman in the greatest Air Force this world has ever seen andwe can't make it happen without YOU!
By Col. Aaron D. Burgstein1st Combat Camera Squadron commander
"It's not rocket science!" How often do we hearthat about something? It's a pretty common phrase toindicate that something is not as difficult as you maythink. While I am willing to bet that rocket scienceis difficult, I am positive that leadership is not easy.Yep, leadership is certainly not rocket science. It
can be harder.Most sciences have rules, equations and formu-
las that will either work or won't work.Leadership? Not so much. Sure, there are literallythousands of books out there on how to lead. EvenAttila the Hun has a book on leadership, but it isnot the kind of science that has a right and a wronganswer. One cannot read a book and suddenlybecome a good leader. So what does go into making a good leader? While some think leadership is about rank or
position, leadership is actually about leading. Ionce read that leadership is the art of influencingpeople to do something. That is because it is aboutthe people. It is not about managing. Managing isabout things. Leadership is about people.
Leaders can be found inall ranks and positions. AsSimon Sinek, a leadershipguru, points out "... thereare leaders and there arethose who lead. Leadershold a position of poweror authority. But thosewho lead inspire us." So, how do leaders
inspire? They care. Theycare about their mission.They care about their peo-ple. They artfully combine those two main pointsto create an environment where Airmen flourish,the mission is accomplished and sometimes peopleeven enjoy coming in to work. The most important thing a leader can do for his
or her Airmen is to give them time. Time to get toknow them, their goals, their motivation and theirchallenges. They take the time to talk to theirAirmen about their future. They take the time to helptheir Airmen when they are in need. A good leadermakes the Airmen their top priority. When you talkto that Airman across from you, be sure that they
know that their issues are one of your toppriorities. Luckily, the Air Force will give you
plenty of opportunities to learn aboutleadership and practice it as well,because it is something you have topractice - a lot. Moreover, leadership isabout caring. Leaders care - they careabout their mission and they care abouttheir people. And the really good oneseven find time to care about themselves.When you lead your Airmen, by tak-
ing care of them, ensuring they havewhat they need, when they need it, your Airmenwill flourish. When your Airmen flourish, the mis-sion is accomplished - and usually accomplishedwith less fuss, faster and in better spirits.At the same time, it is important to take care of
yourself as well. Leaders lead from the front. Theydemonstrate the actions they want accomplished -and taking care of oneself, mentally, physically andmorally is just as important as anything else.Rockets have a team of people to take care of
them. So do our Airmen. By practicing the art ofleadership, you are one part of that team.
Leadership - it's not rocket science, it's harder
By Master Sgt. Eric Cicogna628th Force Support Squadron first sergeant
From the time I was able to comb my own hair, my dad would coach me onfirst impressions and always putting your best foot forward. Make sure you'reshowered, hairs' combed, no dirt under your nails, clothes are clean and serv-iceable or in his words "don't look or act like a bum." It's something that hasstuck with me throughout and even though we shouldn't judge a book by itscover, sometimes we have to trust our gut instinct. Every day through yourdaily interactions, everyone you meet becomes a potential addition to yourteam, a customer or even a new boss. Your first impression should make a pos-itive lasting impression.When you first meet someone the brain makes a thousand decisions within
the first few seconds of meeting. Humans are hard wired to judge upon firstimpressions. Is this a friendly person? How are they dressed? Are they trust-worthy? Some of us adjust our judgment after the initial interaction and some-times we do not. In my opinion, "Excellence in all we do" should be the step-ping stone for us to strive to leave a good lasting impression. Understandinghow important good first impressions are can be a key component of movingthe mission forward.As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impres-
sion. By following dress and appearance standards, as well as customs andcourtesies, you are already on the right track. Everything you do or don't dotakes away from your credibility. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a 19th CenturyAmerican poet and philosopher, once said, "In essence, what you are shouts atme so loudly, I cannot hear a word you are saying."
If it's not helping you, it's hurting you, use these techniques to create a pos-itive first impression:• Proper attitude, warm smile and a warm greeting. Your attitude will ulti-
mately sell you, but you should always make a conscious choice of what atti-tude you want to project to people.• Posture, confidence and authenticity. Standing tall and wide with your
head up high are signals of confidence. Fake it till you make it they say, butbeing your authentic self will shine through.• Firm handshake and eye contact. Confidence can be extended through phys-
ical touch when you shake hands. Making eye contact increases that connection,transmits energy and indicates interest. What color eyes does that person have?Being able to recall it later means you were in the moment and paying attention.• Good listener and engaging. If you are in the moment then you are listen-
ing, which brings opportunities.• Vulnerability and humor. Again be authentic, let people into your circle
and keep a sense of humor.• Speak with clarity and knowledge. Don't speak just to hear yourself talk,
know what you are talking about.As you continue to strive to be a better leader, remember, the impression you
make can be lasting. As we slim the force down, and keep most of the task statusthe same, it will be crucial for leaders to not judge until they get to know theirpeople. Encourage excellence and strive for a genuine first impression from anew troop or a supervisor or even yourself. Have a goal to diminish judgment,even though it can be a natural response. However, getting to know your peopleand knowing yourself is a key component to moving the mission forward.Know your people! It is why lasting impressions are important.
Make your first impression a lasting impression
Editor's Note: On Jan. 27, 2015, the Air Force Public Affairs family lost one of it's own, Col. Aaron Burgstein, a former 1st Combat Camera commander,to a hard fought battle with cancer. In memory of Col. Burgstein, we are re-running his commentary about leadership, as he was the ultimate leader.

WASHINGTON – On a Saturday afternoon inlate November, I was informed about a politicalremark that appeared on my Director of PublicAffairs Twitter feed. A staff member called to askif I was aware of the re-tweet. At the time, I was onleave, out of the state, tending to my daughter whohad had surgery the day before. I was unaware ofthe retweet and when told of its substance, Iarranged for a member of my staff to remove thetweet from the feed.
As far as how a tweet was unknowingly re-tweeted from my organizational account, we do nothave a definitive answer. I realize this responsemay be unfulfilling to some, but it’s the truth. Thatsaid, as the owner of the account, I accept respon-sibility for its content.What is clear is we’ve learned several lessons
about protecting the security of social mediaaccounts. Granted the lessons aren’t new, but it’smy hope that by highlighting them just one moretime, others might avoid similar incidents.- If you assume an organizational/positional
account from a predecessor, change the password.Also, find out who else has/had access and deter-
mine if additional administrators are necessary.- Make sure your password is difficult and not
predictable.- If others post on your behalf, consider having
them include their initials behind their input.- Never store passwords on a shared drive.- Always log out and lock your device before
walking away, putting it down, or tossing it in yourpocket or purse.In the end, what I know to be true is that the
account belongs to me and I accept responsibility forit. I’ve applied the lessons above to safeguard bothmy personal and professional accounts and encour-age every Airman reading this to do the same.
Lessons learned in protecting social media accounts

By Chris McCannJoint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Public Affairs
JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska –He was born into an Air Force family, moving around fromFlorida, to Okinawa, then to Oklahoma."My parents were strict," said Lane Wyatt, a former airman
first class and client-systems technician stationed at JointBase Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.His father, a retired Air Force major, started off as an enlist-
ed Airman before commissioning. His parents instilled val-ues, but for a while, Wyatt said, he slipped."I knew I was going wild when I got out of high school,"
Wyatt said. "I had to straighten up and the military was thebest option."He enlisted in the Air Force and his parents came to the
ceremony when he graduated from basic military training atJoint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas."They were happy. They thought I was party-crazy and I
flipped the script on them," he said. "I was planning on goingto college, and before I'd said I wasn't going to go. I wanted to be a scuba instructor, so I wasfiguring out what I had to do to get there."For his first duty station, Wyatt was assigned to the 673rd Communications Squadron at
Elmendorf, where he took to his job immediately.One senior NCO said Wyatt appeared to be on the fast track to achieve his dream of being
a chief master sergeant. But that dream disappeared when Wyatt made the choice to drivedrunk – killing Citari Townes-Sweatt, a 20-year-old woman.On June 29, 2013, former Airman 1st Class Lane Wyatt and a couple of his friends decided
to hang out at the home of another friend who'd just returned from a deployment. They laterdecided to go out for the evening, so they dropped off their cars and called a taxi."We just had fun," he said. "It was a guy's night out. I left my car; I didn't plan on driving
... The plan was to go home and crash out."At some point later, the group decided to go dancing at a bar in the area where they ran into
an Airman whom Wyatt knew from base.As the evening was coming to a close, Wyatt and his compatriots called Joint Base Against
Drunk Driving, an Elmendorf-based volunteer organization that offers free rides home to servicemembers. Not wanting the fun to stop, they invited the newcomer, and the girl he was hanging outwith, to join them. They returned safely to the house, where they listened to music and goofed off.Sometime after 4 a.m., the new Airman and the girl he was hanging out with decided they
wanted to head home, which was about a half-mile away."I decided I'd give them a ride," Wyatt said. "I thought I was good to drive. I thought I was fine."His friends protested, but ultimately they all piled into his Chrysler 300 and were on their
way, laughing and joking.While on their journey, they stopped at a red light, where Wyatt said someone pulled up
beside them and revved their engine as if they wanted to race. He did it back, in jest, beforethey started through the intersection. Though he didn't actually race, the other car fell behind."I remember coming up to a green light," he said. "Then it turned yellow."He wasn't sure whether to speed through the intersection or try to stop. According to pros-
ecutors, Wyatt was doing 50 to 55 mph when he opted to go through the light."I didn't see anyone, I just saw lights," Wyatt said.The next thing Wyatt remembered was waking up draped over the steering wheel, his nose
bleeding. He got out of the car, as did his friends."I just stood there and looked, trying to take it in ... I thought they hit us," he said.One of the other Airman asked how he was doing."It was like after an explosion in a movie, when there's no sound, just the ringing," he said.
"I had no idea what to do. The girl was in the back seat and there was blood on her face, so wetried to get her out and calm her down."I just remember standing there, not knowing what to do ... People were yelling at me to
stay where I was. I told my friend I was going to jail. I was terrified," he continued.Shortly after the accident, the police showed up."I didn't want my friends to get in trouble," he said. "I said they didn't know I had been drinking."The police took him to the Anchorage Correctional Center where they asked about the
evenings events. His blood alcohol concentration was 0.196.When they were done, Wyatt asked for his phone and he called his father."He told me to stay calm," Wyatt recalled. "Neither of us realized how serious it was. I didn't
know anyone was seriously injured or anything."When the police officer returned, he placed Wyatt under arrest for one count of driving
under the influence, three counts of assault in the third degree, four counts of assault in the firstdegree and manslaughter.He was shocked. He later called his supervisor, Staff Sgt. Corina Arangure."I was pretty hysterical," he said. "I told her the charges and I asked her to call my parents.
And then I sat. They let me walk around, but I didn't want to be seen. It was my first time in jail."I felt horrible. I spent the next few hours crying on the floor of the cell. A mental health
provider came and asked me about it and all I could say was 'someone died, someone died.'"Townes-Sweatt was killed almost instantly in the crash. Her four passengers sustained seri-
ous injuries, which led to the first-degree assault charges. Wyatt's own three passengers hadsuperficial injuries, adding up to the three counts of third-degree assault."She was the designated driver," Wyatt said, tears spilling down his face. "And I feel like
the trash of the earth. It's one of those things that's unforgiveable. A lowlife does that, and that'snot me."Master Sgt. Paul Kodiak was the communication squadron's acting first sergeant. He had
known Wyatt as an Airman in another section, but didn't really meet him until that day in jail."The reality of the situation really hit me when that second door closed behind me," Kodiak
said. "He couldn't answer a lot of things because of the investigation, but he said 'I'm not thatkind of guy, sergeant Kodiak.' ... I sat and talked with him until they kicked me out. It was onlyabout 45 minutes – not long enough... I left there empty."Wyatt was freed on bail after about six months, and was able to return to work. He had an
ankle monitor and a third-party custodian – a guardian who, outside of work, could never leavehis side.Going back was a relief, Wyatt said, especially compared to the stress of incarceration. His
parents came to visit him andeven at work people didn'ttreat him any differently."The Airmen welcomed
him back – not exactly withopen arms, but they likedhim and respected him forthe level of effort he put in,"Kodiak said. "They wantedhim back."According to Aranguare,
Wyatt was a stellar Airman."He was excellent; he was
definitely on track,"Aranguare said. "He'd askfor ways to improve himself,look for projects to do him-self. He'd give anybody theshirt off his back – and healways will. That's part ofwho he is."He definitely feels all the
remorse, the regret, the dev-astation," Aranguare said."All the conversations he'shad with Ms. Townes-Sweatt's family, there's beennothing but forgiveness. Butas much forgiveness asthey've given him, and thelove, he's still full of absolute
regret and remorse."Wyatt went online and looked up Citari Townes-Sweatt on
Facebook. He ended up on her mother's page, looking at postsshe'd made and videos she'd linked."It was my own personal hell," he said. "I haven't talked to
her. I don't know what to say."After a while, his custodian couldn't provide the around-
the-clock presence the court required. Wyatt remanded him-self back into custody while his Air Force discharge paper-work was nearing completion."He started losing hope," Kodiak said. "His demeanor
started changing; I guess he felt the screws were tightening."Even as restricted as he was (with the custodian), on base
or in his dorm room, he liked that a hell of a lot better thanjail," Kodiak said. "When the discharge was complete, the lastthing he asked me was to get his story out. 'If it saves oneAirman, it will be worth it,' he said."Eventually he was moved to the Goose Creek Correctional
Center, where he resides for the present. Even there, Wyattsaid, he sees people who knew Townes-Sweatt.
"Every single day I run into people who were affected by it," he said. "They were datingsomeone who knew her, or they were friends, or people she knew in high school ... They saythey forgive me, but it doesn't feel right being around them. I try to avoid being around them.I don't deserve to be around them."Wyatt said he heard the safety briefings and seen the videos about the dangers of drinking
and driving. He'd even been at an Airman's Call where the guest speaker was an Airman who'dgotten a second chance after a DUI."I thought, 'I'm never going to be "that guy,"' he said. "I never thought I'd do it. And then I
became that guy."If he'd given it any real thought, Wyatt said he knew a DUI could be devastating to his
future."But hurting someone ... that's not what you think about," he said. "You don't think you're
going to kill someone.""Ninety-nine years is the maximum they could give me," he said Aug. 7, 2014 before his
sentencing. "But it's not the years. That doesn't matter as much as I killed a young woman.Seeing people so affected, that's what matters."I brought shame on the military, I brought shame on my parents – and those people (in
Townes-Sweatt's car), they're still recovering from serious things they'll have to live with forthe rest of their lives. I'm just sorry," he said.Wyatt pled guilty to a count of murder in the second degree, one charge of assault in the first
degree, and a DUI, condensing some of the assault charges in exchange for the upgrade frommanslaughter to murder, and was sentenced to 18 years in prison."I hope to get out before I'm 35," he said. With good behavior, a chance at parole may give
him that opportunity, but it's still a long way off."Until then, I take it a day at a time. There will be difficulties finding a job. I'll be a convict-
ed felon, and I know how that looks on a resume. It will be hard to go back to normal."He has three brothers, one in the Air Force, and his family has stood by him."I thought I'd be disowned," he said. "It makes it easier, having people – it gives me hope
for the future. I'm not going to be by myself."Kodiak, now a first sergeant with the 673d Logistics Readiness Squadron, said the two years
he has spent in contact with Wyatt have given him a new outlook on his role as an NCO."He's motivated things that had kind of died out in me," Kodiak said. "Being more alert, not
taking things for granted, and especially to dig a little deeper, to not stop at the second layer;to know your Airmen – and their friends. You maybe can't stop them from a bad decision, butyou can mentor them, encourage them (and) inform them."Though he is facing 18 years of incarceration, Wyatt said he feels it's a life sentence any-
way."It's not something that will go away, ever. That seemed like a night that nothing could go
wrong. I wasn't thinking straight."I don't blame anyone else."

By Chaplain, Lt. Col. Daniel ThompsonJoint Base Charleston Chapel
While I may not be much of a fish eater, Irealize that many people are. In fact, restau-rants will pay good money to have codfishshipped in from the Northeastern U.S., just toenjoy this delicacy. Because of such a public demand for the fish,
shipping companies had to discover how best totransport this hot item. They tried all sorts ofways, such as shipping them alive in tanks ofseawater, yet that lost the cod’s flavor and was
too expensive. After much experimentation, oneinnovative person placed the codfish in the sametank of water with its natural enemy, the catfish.By the time the cod reached their final destina-tions, those cantankerous catfish not only gavethe cod a nice workout, yet added flavor, texture,and amazing freshness.Are catfish swimming in your tank? Maybe it's somebody at work whose irritating
existence drives you insane. But think of it thisway, those cantankerous individuals are there tokeep all the cod from getting soft, gushy, andtasteless. For this we should give thanks.
Give thanks for catfish

After being transferred, if thevictim still believes the MPO is necessary to keephim or her safe, the victim, the SARC or SAPRVA may ask the commander, who issued theMPO, to contact the new commander and advisehim or her of the MPO and, the circumstances. A military protective order is issued by a com-
mander to an active-duty service member to pro-tect the victim of sexual assault, and to controlthe behavior of the alleged offender. The MPOorders the alleged offender to stay away from thefamily home if they currently live on a militaryinstallation. This applies to the service memberand any individuals stated in the MPO who donot reside on a military installation at any timeduring the duration of the MPO. The commander will notify the appropriate
civilian authorities when an MPO is issued
and the individuals involved in the order.Commanders may tailor the order to meet thespecific needs of the victim. An MPO issuedby the commander is enforceable while theservice member is attached to the commandthat issued the order and will remain in effectuntil the commander terminates the order orissues a replacement order. Commandersshould ensure that the person seeking theMPO is advised that the MPO is not enforcedby civilian authorities off base. If the victimdesires protection off base, they should seek acivilian protective order. If the MPO is violated off the installation, it
should be reported to the issuing commander,Department of Defense Law Enforcement, andthe relevant Military Criminal InvestigativeOffice for investigation. If the alleged servicemember violates the MPO, he or she can bedisciplined under the Uniform Code ofMilitary Justice. Depending on a number offactors, a violation of an MPO may result innonjudicial punishment, court-martial pro-ceedings, or other disciplinary measures.

From Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs
Beginning February 1, 2015, the Roth TSP deduction elec-tion will change and require members to make a manualupdate in MyPay from a specified dollar amount to a percent-age. This change applies ONLY to the Roth TSP.The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will
implement these capabilities that enable DoD to comply with RothTSP requirements. Notifications of the changes were made tomembers with the Roth TSP election through individual SmartDocemails and LES remarks, starting Oct. 1 of last year.If a member had been contributing to the Roth TSP, they were
informed through email that their dollar amount deduction wouldstop at the end of January 2015 and they would need to restarttheir allotment by applying a separate percentage deduction tobasic pay, special pay, incentive pay and bonus pay.If members have not yet made the change, there is still a small
window of time to make the update and avoid uninterrupted con-tributions. Members have until Jan. 31, 2015, to restart their Rothdeduction using MyPay. If not restarted by this deadline, contri-butions will lapse until the member chooses to restart them.It's important to note that members must apply a minimum
election of 1% to their base pay if they elect to apply ANY
percentage to special, incentive or bonus pay.As of January 22, 2015, only 56 percent of the members
who had Roth TSP plans have restarted their Roth TSP with adesignated percentage. Supervisors are encouraged to workwith their members to make necessary updates immediately.The following link provides screen shots on how to change
to the Compatibility View in the web browser, as some mem-bers have required this update to make the Roth TSP changesin MyPay:https://afpims.dma.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-
150128-028.pdf If still unable to make the Roth TSP update using MyPay,
members can visit the following link for a TSP-U-1 electionform and bring it into Finance Customer Service:https://afpims.dma.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-
150128-030.pdfThis option should be used a last resort, as it will take
longer for the update to take effect given the short timelineand the current backlog at DFAS.For questions regarding
this change, please contactFinance at 963-3715.
“I grew up in a rough area inWest Virginia and had beenliving on my own since I was16 years old. When I was 20years old I realized I washeaded down a bad path andnew I needed to make achange. A lot of my friendswere joining the Marines, andwell, I cut all my hair off andjoined the Army. They had themost rugged looking uniformand I wanted to do ruggedwork. I joined as infantry anddeployed for 15 months insupport of Operation IraqiFreedom in 2007 through 2008. My supervisors had the greatestimpact on me during my first few years in service. I grew up withouta father or brothers in my life and my leaders and peers were greatexamples of what I wanted to be; they truly took over the roles I hadmissed out on during my youth. They became my brothers and sis-ters-in-arms. I have a wife and daughter now and love the time I’vespent in the Army. I don’t know where I would be right now if I hadn’tjoined.” - James Wilson, U.S. Army staff sergeant at Joint BaseCharleston
