The Navy Operational Support Center Charleston wasawarded the 2014 Department of Defense Reserve FamilyReadiness award during a ceremony held at the PentagonFeb. 27, 2015.Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for

Reserve Affairs, Richard O. Wightman, Jr., presented theaward to Cmdr. Steven Jones, NOSC Charleston command-er in the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes.The Reserve Family Readiness Award recognizes one

National Guard unit and one Reserve unit from each serv-ice. The units nominated for the award are judged based onspecific criteria, such as, innovative programs that supportunit mission and family readiness, and efforts that buildcommunity support.The NOSC Charleston recognized the need to provide

further support for their Sailors returning from deploymentsand created the Warrior Club. The Warrior Club gathers ondrill weekends and provides continued support and a safeenvironment where Sailors can openly discuss any and allissues. A qualified counselor is on hand for any needed pro-fessional assistance and guidance. This concept has nowspread to NOSC Wilmington, N.C., through the transfer ofa Warrior Club member to that NOSC. NOSC Wilmington

now has its own thrivingWarrior Club program.NOSC Charleston has

also found ways to con-tribute to the local commu-nity through outreach activ-ities. Youth athletic coach-ing for Joint BaseCharleston and the City ofNorth Charleston publicSchools, as well as partici-pating in events put on bythe Charleston NavyLeague are just two of many. NOSC Charleston membersalso volunteer their time and support annual homeless assis-tance programs. "I am very proud of our Sailors at NOSC Charleston,"

said Rear Adm. Eric Coy Young, commander, NavyReserve Command. "Their innovative family readinessefforts are at the forefront of direct support to Sailors, bothaway and at home. They continue to show that the care andhandling of both Sailors and their families throughout themobilization process is their number one priority. They area true example of excellence, and an essential part of mis-sion readiness."Established in 2000, the DoD Reserve Family Readiness

Awards Program recognizes the topunit-level family readiness program ineach of the Reserve components.Family readiness programs are particu-larly important as the United Statesrelies on significant numbers ofReserve members to serve in criticallocations worldwide. Family readinesshas proven to be a key component ofmission readiness and these robustfamily readiness programs haveenhanced the deployability of Guardand Reserve units. They represent a

vital link in the support networks for our Reserve families.During the ceremony, Wightman expressed his gratitude

to the members of all the Reserve Components."To these unsung heroes, we owe much," Wightman said.

"They have given their time, freely, without any guaranteesof accolades or reimbursements, yet they sacrifice theirevenings, weekends, and time with family in the selflessservice of others."The winning units will receive a commemorative plaque and

a cash award to enhance the unit's family support programs.

The National Society of Professional Engineers named Lt.Col. Patrick Miller, 628th Civil Engineer Squadron command-er, as the nation's top federal engineer during a ceremony Feb.26, 2015 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C."This is the second year in a row that the Air Force nomi-

nees have finished in the top 10 with one taking top honors,"said Brig. Gen. Timothy Green, the director of the Air ForceCivil Engineers, "This is a remarkable achievement thatreflects highly upon the selectees, our civil engineer commu-nity and the U.S. Air Force."The Federal Engineer of the Year Award, sponsored by the

Professional Engineers in Government, is the only one of itskind that honors outstanding engineers employed by the fed-eral government.Miller and the other nominees were evaluated on factors

such as, engineering achievements, education, professionaland technical society activities, awards and honors, and civicand humanitarian activities."Joint base Charleston is very fortunate to have Lt. Col.

Miller as our 628th CES commander," said Capt. TimothySparks, Joint Base Charleston deputy commander. "This awardis a true testament to his leadership, management and technical

abilities that he aptly applies as he leads his command team inproviding the outstanding services to the base community."As the 628th CES commander, Miller is responsible for a

$3.2 billion physical plant which includes 1800 facilities,four runways, five piers, two wharfs, and 34 miles of railacross 24,000 acres, providing him with a unique portfoliofor an Air Force engineer. During a deployment to Afghanistan, Miller accomplished

more than 150 outside the wire missions to lead a $161 millionconstruction program essential to organizing, training andequipping the Afghan National Security Force. He also led con-struction of a $20 million Afghan Commando and SpecialForces compound and the $99 million Afghan pilot trainingcampus for 1,200 Afghan Air Force pilots.Miller was most recently deployed to Guantanamo Bay,

where he led a 42-person engineer team in the in operation andmaintenance of detention facilities, as well as theExpeditionary Legal Complex, all in support of Joint TaskForce Guantanamo and the Office of Military Commissions.Being named the NSPE's Federal Engineer of the Year was

not something Miller could have anticipated."Considering the high level of competition from the many

other federal agencies, this is truly a humbling experienceand the award is really a tribute to all of the men and womenwith whom I have had the privilege to serve."

Miller will be recognized again during the NSPE 2015Annual Convention in Seattle, Wash., July 15 to 19.

National Defense Authorization Act, military members will nolonger be able to carry more than 60 days of leave into thenext fiscal year.The 2010 NDAA included a provision that allowed members

to carry up to 75 days of leave forward to the next fiscal yearbecause of limited leave opportunities due to deployments andother mission requirements. The 2013 NDAA extended thatprovision through the end of the 2015 fiscal year."Airmen need to be aware of the change so that they can plan

leave accordingly and ensure their leave balance is 60 days orfewer by the end of the fiscal year," said 1st Lt. Nate Strickland,the Air Force Personnel Center special programs branch chief.

Bridge the communication gap between Ops, MaintBy Senior Airman Shawn Martin62nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. – I'm a crew chief in the62nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron here and in my years on the flightline, I have noticed a number of pitfalls in which maintainers could possi-bly be trapped. The most prominent would have to be a sense of compla-cency and an inability to see the big picture.As maintainers, it's very easy to be wrapped up in the day-to-day routine

and have little idea how our efforts affect the mission. I believe that effec-tive communication between aircrew and maintainers is an essential toolthat we can utilize much more effectively. The free flow of communication and information will play a vital role in

not only building trust between operations and maintenance personnel, butalso in opening the eyes of Airmen who otherwise may not have buy-in.Hearing directly from operations personnel about mission details (when

possible), helps engage maintainers and provides a deeper understandingfor us that what we do matters.

Think of yourselves as our employers on the flight line. As officers andleaders, making sure your employees understand the big picture as well asthe part we play in the success of our missions will help us better under-stand why decisions are made and how those decisions will directly impactoperations.In a few months I will put on staff sergeant, and as a supervisor of other

Airmen, I will stress the importance of communicating with leadership, andI will ensure that Airmen understand their role in each mission.I just want you all to know that the success of our mission relies on the

sturdy foundation of open and effective communication. As a supervisor ofAirmen and as a crew chief launching and recovering jets every day, I amasking you directly to help close the gap. This will improve morale and increase the success of our flying in the

future. In order to gain that necessary motivation and personal accountabil-ity for achieving success, it will take a conscious effort from both sides.If you talk, we will listen. Know that aircraft maintainers put every

ounce of passion and focus into performing their duties, and we want tohear from you.

By Lt. Col. Brian Memoli841st Transportation Battalion commander

The 841st Transportation Battalion joined itshigher headquarters, the Military SurfaceDeployment and Distribution Command in cele-brating its 50-year anniversary Feb. 15, 2015. Themotto for the event was, "Continuing to Move theForce for Freedom." Although SDDC can track itslineage back to the Office of the Chief ofTransportation in the 1940's and the battalion backto its roots at Joint Base Charleston as far back as1918, the organization as it exists today became ajointly staffed headquarters and subcomponent ofU.S. Transportation Command in 1965. SDDC is responsible for surface transportation

and provides ocean liner and traffic managementservices to deploy, sustain and redeploy forcesaround the world. The 841st TransportationBattalion is one of 12 battalions in SDDC thatcover the entire planet with surface deploymentand transportation expertise. Regardless of where

the cargo is leaving from orwhere it is going, there is anSDDC battalion sending and abattalion receiving. From here atthe joint base, the 841st executesits mission for government cargoalong the entire Eastern Seaboardof the United States, fromGeorgia to Maine. It has support-ed every major contingency sinceWorld War I and most recentlyhas been heavily involved withretrograde operations fromOperation Iraqi Freedom andOperation Enduring Freedom.During the last fiscal year, the 841st was responsi-ble for the movement of more than 115,000 piecesof cargo to and from the United States with morethan six percent actually coming to Charleston.Most recently, this battalion has received accoladesas the recipient of the Major General Harold L.Small Award for SDDC Battalion of the Year and

had nine Soldiers andDepartment of the Army civil-ians recognized by the Maj. Gen.Susan Davidson, SDDC com-mander, for their excellence insupport of the commands world-wide mission at a banquet atScott Air Force Base, Ill., cele-brating the 50th anniversary ofthe command.For 50 years and beyond, the

Military Surface Deploymentand Distribution Command andthe 841st TransportationBattalion take the organizational

motto of "Surface Warriors - Delivering Trust" andthe 50th anniversary motto of "Continuing to Movethe Force For Freedom" to heart, knowing that atthe end of the long journey, the equipment theyship belongs to a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marinewho needs their gear to defend America or its alliesand nothing less than the best is what they deserve.

A long history of success

Lt. Col. Brian E. Memoli841st Transportation Battalion commander

By Karen Petitt375th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. – There's aposter hanging at my desk entitled "How to Live LifeAccording to Capt. Brandon Cyr." On this poster aresix simple suggestions for living life to its fullest, andwhile there have been many who have offered simi-lar lists, this one is special.It's special because this list comes not from the

former aerial refueling pilot who was stationed here,but from his friends and coworkers who honored himduring a memorial held in May 2013. Cyr was just 28 when he was killed in an aircraft

crash in Afghanistan. He was one of four crewmemberswho perished April 27, 2013, aboard an MC-12 recon-naissance aircraft during an operational mission there.And while it was noted that he had extensive combat

flying experience and was a pilot instructor for the KC-135 tanker aircraft, it was his "sense of humor, thought-fulness and dedication" to the mission and people thatresonated at the memorial. Here's how they say we canlive life according to Capt. Brandon Cyr:

SmileFirst and foremost it was his smile that people

remembered the most. Even in choosing the photofor his obituary, family members chose a picture ofhis sometimes quirky, but affectionate, smile thatcaptured the essence of his character and attitude. Haven't we all read studies that show that smiling

can actually "cause" happiness and that it decreasesstress? Heck, it even makes you look better accord-ing to some articles. So why does it seem so difficultto do some days? Cyr made it seem easy, and we can,too. It doesn't cost anything but a little effort, but theeffects will be long lasting.There's a great saying that goes like this: "A smile

is a curve that sets everything straight." I know whenI look at this poster and see his smiling face next toit, it reminds me to smile, too.

Be thankful for every day you haveHe was remembered for appreciating every day he

had in the squadron as shown by how he worked toget to know everyone. His time in the squadron herewasn't just a pit stop onto his next assignment, but aplace where he jumped in and contributed. It didn'tmatter if it was an operational mission, or an addi-tional duty, or some type of office function, he wasusually found at the center of the activities helping tomake it a success.It's usually during the holiday season when people

take time to reflect on the things they are thankful for,and there are lists and challenges and blogs to docu-ment it. There's also a way to show gratitude for everyday you have and that's by being present in themoment, giving people your attention, or putting thecell phone down to talk to people. That's how heshowed his thanks to people around him. His examplereminds me to work on this aspect of daily gratitude.

LaughThis may seem similar to "smile" and while Cyr

liked to tell jokes--albeit corny ones apparently--thisdidn't mean he was the squadron comedian. Although

his coworkers did say he could be telling some kindof funny story or laughing at someone else's jokes fre-quently, he was far from goofing off. It was moreabout him having a sense of humor which is also theability to see humor in life's absurdities. There is still a real need for people to find humor

even in difficult situations and to appreciate thelighter moments of life. One look at the comments onsocial media forums and you'll understand the needfor people to "lighten up" and just laugh at the crazi-ness of it all. We're not going to change anything bygetting angry or calling people names, so let's just ...laugh it off.

Spend time with each other telling storiesIf there's a common theme about the way Cyr

lived his life, it would be in how he enjoyed gettingto know people. The life of a military membermeans there are long hours at work and long separa-tions from family. Members of a unit get to knoweach other as they serve, but when work was doneand there was bit of downtime, they all said that Cyrwould just want to hang out and talk. It wasn't just"pleasantries" but he "really wanted to know abouteach person."I am reminded to take inventory of how well I'm

getting to know the peoplearound me. Do they know thatI care about them? Have Iasked them about their fami-lies lately? I'm thankful for thegentle reminder that life isn'tjust about the "task" but ourjourney as we travel the planettogether and that it's importantto connect with each other aswe do so.

Eat cookiesThis one is my favorite!

Cyr was known as being quitethe chef as he routinelybrought in goodies for the unit.Whether it was an old favoriteor a newly acquired recipe, heshared cookies, cakes, and anyother form of sweet--or other-wise--treat from his kitchen. Of course, that makes it

more important to stay on topof your fitness regimen, butwho doesn't like a little treatnow and then? But moreimportant is that I've come tounderstand it's not about thecookie itself. It's more aboutsharing the gift that is you. Itdoesn't have to be cookies. Itcan be giving of your time orproviding service or even shar-ing a smile. The cookie is justa symbol, so it's what wechoose to give that's moreimportant ... and if you choosecookies, then that's certainly an

added bonus!Tackle life with an open mindFriends and coworkers remembered Cyr for his

ability to take advantage of all the opportunities thatcame his way such as the deployment to Afghanistan.It was something challenging, but he "tackled it"straight on. Everyone who goes into harm's wayknows there's always a risk involved, but you don'tlet that stop you from doing your job. Sometimes life brings us challenges that seem

overwhelming, but if we were to be like Cyr, wewould just dig in and do it. I've also learned that lifeis not a straight path from point A to B and that some-times we need to embrace the deviations. All thingslead to our growth and experience, and can be usedfor storytelling fodder, too!Ultimately I think this list tells us a lot about the

kind of person Cyr was and that we'd all want him asa friend. Some people have been true gifts to theworld, and in his short time on Earth, he was one.The challenge is will that be the same with us? Whatwill people say of how we lived our life? Will it besomething to emulate or to inspire? I think it can beif we mirror the simple yet profound way this youngAirman and great patriot lived.

How to live life according to Capt. Brandon Cyr

"Even if you don't have more than 60 days now, by Sept. 30,you may accrue enough leave time to be over the limit,"Strickland added.There are certain circumstances where service members

may be exempted from the use-or-lose rule.Special leave accrual approval is for Airmen who couldn't

use their leave because of a national emergency, crisis, catas-trophe or national security situations, said Strickland."SLA is only granted when Airmen cannot take leave under

those circumstances," the lieutenant said.Certain Sailors also have specific exceptions.Sailors with more leave days than the authorized carryover

limit, who are also assigned to hostile fire or imminent dangerpay areas or deployed on a ship or mobile unit for at least 60continuous days, may apply for special leave accrual to retain

any excess leave days. This request is typically done at thecommand level. Instructions on how to apply for and admin-ister SLA are outlined in MILPERSMAN 1050-070.Sailors are encouraged to work with their commands to

manage their leave balances throughout FY15.Airmen and Sailors with questions about the change in the

leave policy should contact their respective personnel centers.Airmen can contact the Total Force Service Center at (210)

565-0102, and Sailors should contact their local PersonnelSupport Detachment or call the NPC Customer Service Centerat 866-827-5672.Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs and the Air Force

75 day leave carryover ends Sept. 30 - from Page 1

By Airman 1st Class Marion Turner628th Aerospace Medicine Squadron

It's the height of flu season.According to the South Carolina Department of Health and

Environmental Control, as of Feb. 25, 2015 there have been58,939 cases of flu reported in South Carolina this season. Ofthose cases reported, there have been 2,780 hospitalizationsand 132 confirmed deaths. In the Tri-County area, there havealready been 7,412 confirmed flu cases in Charleston Countywith seven resulting in death, 569 in Berkeley County and1,330 in Dorchester County with four deaths.Flu season officially started in October and continues

through May.How do you know if you have a common cold or if you

have the flu? A cold is a milder illness than the flu. While coldsymptoms usually only last a few days, flu symptoms may lasta week or more. Common cold symptoms usually begin witha sore throat, followed by a runny nose and congestion. Flu

symptoms include (but are not limited to) high fever (100.4F), headache, fatigue and body aches. With the flu, one ormore symptoms will occur about 48 to 72 hours after contactwith the virus. The flu can also cause serious health problemssuch as pneumonia and hospitalization. The populations thatare most vulnerable to the flu are children six months to 5years old; people 50 years and older; people who are immuno-suppressed and people who have chronic medical conditions.Contrary to anecdotal evidence, the injected flu vaccine

does not cause the flu because it contains only dead flu virus.However, there are mild side effects you may feel such assoreness, redness and swelling at the shot site, low grade feverand aches. Another flu vaccination is the nasal spray. Thismethod does have a live virus but it has been weakened and,therefore, cannot cause the flu. Side effects of the nasal sprayinclude running nose, wheezing, headache, vomiting, muscleaches, fever and cough. Any side effects experienced aftervaccination should be mild and short lasting.There are things that can be done to help reduce the risk of

getting the flu and prevent passing it to others. Get the flu vac-cine every year, try to get as much rest as possible and handsshould be washed thoroughly with soap and warm water for atleast 20 seconds. According to the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, the percentage of adults between theage of 18 and 49 who have received an influenza vaccinationis only 29.6 percent. As of Feb. 26, 2015, Joint BaseCharleston had an influenza immunization rate of 99.3 per-cent (active duty members only). Everyone is urged to receivethe flu vaccination as soon as possible. It is highly recom-mended and is the best line of protection.Taking these small, precautionary steps may help prevent

the flu. However, if you start exhibiting any of the symptomslisted above, do not hesitate to see your local doctor.Protecting yourself during flu season is pivotal to not onlyyour health but to those around you.Information obtained from The Center for Disease Control

and Prevention and the SC Department of Health andEnvironmental Control

Lieutenant Shannon Scaff, U.S. Coast Guard's MaritimeLaw Enforcement Academy Public Affairs officer and a for-mer helicopter rescue swimmer stationed in Charleston com-pleted a 24-hour swim Feb. 28, 2015 at the Martin LutherKing Jr. Pool in Charleston, S.C. He swam to honor a fallenpilot and to raise money for a non-profit organization.Scaff swam nearly 28 miles in honor of his fallen friend, Coast

Guard Lt. Commander Dale Taylor, who lost his life in a helicop-ter crash with three other Coast Guardsmen Feb. 28, 2012."We don't forget our own in the military," said Scaff.

"Military members and their families sacrifice each and everyday and I take advantage of any opportunity I have to remindfolks of those sacrifices."According to Scaff, he wanted to show Taylor's sons, Evan

and Emmett, their dad was a wonderful friend who impactedmany lives beyond their own family and is missed daily.The three other Coast Guardsmen aboard the MH-65

Dolphin helicopter which crashed were: Lt. Junior GradeThomas Cameron, Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Knight andChief Petty Officer Fernando Jorge.Before taking on the 24-hour challenge, Scaff worked with

local marathon swimmer Kathleen Wilson to prepare for theevent. Wilson's training regime for Scaff included approxi-mately 93 hours, 108 miles and 3,476 laps in a 50-meter pool,including a 14-hour swim in January to ensure his mind andbody could handle a day's worth of swimming.Wilson put Scaff on a strict diet and to fuel his body during

the 24-hour swim, he was given which Gatorade and smallsnacks with carbohydrates. "Shannon is swimming for a noble cause and I'm happy to

be here and support him in any way I can," Wilson said.More than 100 community members showed their support

poolside to cheer Scaff on and nearly 75 military members,police officers and swimmers joined him in the water.The money raised was donated to Operation 300, a charity

which hosts adventure camps for children who have lost theirparents as a result of military service.

Air Force pilots play a vital role in supporting wartime oper-ations by delivering supplies and flying wounded troops to hos-pitals in hopes of saving their lives, but rarely do they findthemselves looking down a scope firing at enemy combatants.First Lt. Kevin Summerbell, 15th Airlift Squadron C-17

Globemaster III pilot, felt the recoil of his rifle and heard thethunderous roars of a firefight well before feeling the thrust ofan aircraft or hearing its jet engines hum as they pulled airthrough their metal frames."I had three close friends in high school and we all saw

what was happening on the news with the war and decided todo our part," said Summerbell. "We each joined separate serv-ices, I wanted to be boots on the ground and so Army it was."It was 2003, Sumerbell was 18 years old having only grad-

uated high school three-weeks prior when he raised his rightarm in defense of the United States."Just seeing my father wearing an Air Force uniform growing

up played a huge role in my decision to join," said Summerbell.Summerbell deployed to Iraq twice as an infantryman dur-

ing his time in the Army."We were doing a lot of the kicking in the doors, searching

for intel and leading the operations my first time over," saidSummerbell. "When I went back for my second tour, we weretraining the Iraqi Army in preparation for them to defend theirhomeland."The mission was different and Summerbell was focusing

more on intel gathering than engaging the enemy face-to-face,so firefights were not as common as when he first deployed,but that would change near the end of his deployment."Our sister unit was taking heavy casualties in their area of

operations, so we took their place to offer relief," saidSummerbell. "Our mission was to capture a high-valued targetconnected with suicide bombings, so we expected to facesome sort of resistance."Blackhawks swooped down from the night sky and at the

time Sgt. Summerbell, team leader, and his unit dismountedfrom the helicopter and made their approach toward theknown location of the suspected terrorist.

"We found and detained our target and began heading backto the Blackhawks, everything was going smoothly," saidSummerbell. "Not far from the helicopters a call came overthe radio that a large group of people were converging towardour location, but the unmanned aerial vehicle could not dis-cern if these individuals had weapons or not."A translator within Summerbell's unit said "come out with

your hands up" speaking in the native tongue, but as soon as hisvoice cut off the group began firing upon the American soldiers."We moved toward the contact in a horizontal line laying

down fire, but as we came closer I had unknowingly flankedthe enemy from the left side," said Summerbell. "The enemyquickly realized the change in direction of fire and respondedby focusing their fire at my position."A shower of bullets rained down upon Summerbells posi-

tion, but he continued to return fire."After emptying my clip on the enemy and killing two of

them, I reached for a new clip," said Summerbell. "I grabbeda fresh clip and before I knew itI was on the ground withextreme pain in my left arm."Traveling at more than 1,000

feet per second, the bullet torethrough the muscle, ligamentsand bone knocking Summerbellto the ground.Summerbell spotted the clip

he dropped and began to reachfor it, but his left arm laymotionless.Blood covered fingers some-

how still able to move, he grippedthe magazine and attempted toforce it into his rifle. Unsuccessfuland frustrated, he resorted tobanging his weapon and magazineinto the dirt covered ground, butthat too was futile.

"I tried everything possibleto reload my weapon, but I wascombat ineffective and knew Ineeded to treat my wound no

matter how much I wanted to help my fellow soldiers," saidSummerbell.Grabbing a tourniquet from his shoulder he wrapped it

around his arm where the bullet went through his arm as wellas he could with just his right arm."When the fire died down, I lifted my left arm up and

braced it as close to me as possible and made my way to a sol-dier I was good friends with," said Summerbell. "I remembertapping my friend on the shoulder telling him I had been shot,but each time I told him he would turn and look at me withthese bulky night vision goggles on his head and nod."After telling his friend three times he had been shot and

needed help with no response he pulled him towards him andshowed him the wound."What I didn't realize is that my friend couldn't hear

because helicopters providing air cover had just dropped ahell-fire missile on the enemy combatant's position," saidSummerbell. "We could feel the heat from the flames and itlooked like a 'Star Wars' movie with all the flashing lights."The enemy combatants were eliminated and Summerbell

was the only soldier wounded during the firefight. He was med-ically evacuated and received medical care to stop the bleeding."I was transferred to different bases in the area to have dif-

ferent surgeries performed before being flown to Germanyand eventually back to the United States to recover," saidSummerbell.Summerbell received a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for

his wounds and courage on the battlefield that day in Iraq."Since the bone in my arm was severed, it took several sur-

geries to repair it and months to rehabilitate it," saidSummerbell. "My parents visited me when I returned to thestates and stayed with me during the beginning of my recovery."Even though Summerbell had made it home and was not

going to lose his arm, all he could think about was how he leftthe fight early."I only had a few months left on my deployment, but I was

a team leader and those were my brothers that were still overthere fighting," said Summerbell. "Time is something you'renot short on while lying in a hospital, and all that time Ithought about my brothers."Doctors told Summerbell he would most likely never be

able to do push-ups or pull-ups again, which was hard for himto hear. He continued with therapy to rehabilitate his arm andeventually regained mobility as well as strength."When I recovered I separated from the Army and went

back to college," said Summerbell. "It was during college thatI started to really test how much strength I had in my arm bylifting weights and doing exercises gradually. Eventually Iwas back to doing push-ups and pull-ups even though I wasnot ever expected to do it again."Time passed and Summerbell continued with school, but still

felt like he could serve his country and wanted to rejoin the mil-itary, but this time he would commission instead of enlist."When I thought about commissioning I remembered fly-

ing back after being shot and lying in the back of a C-17," saidSummerbell. "Ever since that day I knew if I was going toreturn I would return as a C-17 pilot."After receiving his bachelors degree, attending Reserve

Officers' Training Corps and completing flight school,Summerbell made his way to Joint Base Charleston, S.C., wherehe would become a C-17 pilot with the 437th Airlift Wing."It has been an interesting life so far in the military and

where at one point I found myself in the back of a C-17, I nowsit at the front and fly the aircraft that brought me home safelyafter being shot," said Summerbell.Summerbell recently returned to Iraq to drop-off supplies

and has even been a part of aircrews that take soldiers back tothe states from the war."It's a great feeling knowing I'm able to bring back my fel-

low soldiers from the war while executing the Air Force mis-sion as a pilot," said Summerbell.

Story and photos by Tech. Sgt. Shane Ellis315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO – Reservists from the 315thAirlift Wing at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. conducted missionreadiness training and airlift support Feb. 20-22, 2015, foraeromedical reservists from the 459th Air Refueling Wing atJoint Base Andrews, Md. The training mission was a cost-effective means to accom-

plish currency items and evaluations for flight crew membersand provided C-17 familiarization and proficiency training foraeromedical Airmen.The C-17 Globemaster III plays a major role in the aeromed-

ical arena of the U.S. Air Force, and this type of training allowsthe Air Force Reserve to maximize resources through collabora-tion between several Reserve units.The fly-away mission allowed the 315th AW aircrew to get

out on the road for an off-station trainer, and it allowed theaeromedical teams from the 459th Aeromedical EvacuationSquadron and 459th Aeromedical Staging Squadron to getsome experience on the C-17, which is something they don'toften get to do.Maj. Heather Menzies, 459th Operations Group Stan/Eval

flight nurse, said she was eager to jump on the trainer."We are now universally qualified as aeromedical techni-

cians," she said. "We can fly on the C-17, C-130 and the KC-135.We belong to a tanker unit and primarily fly on the 135 and havelimited exposure to the 17 and 130 unless we are deployed. Thismission gives us a hands-on opportunity to do our AE mission ona platform that we will most likely see when we are deployed."Menzies went on to say how the C-17 is very aeromedical

friendly because it has its own therapeutic oxygen system forpatients on board the aircraft, and the electrical system is house-hold current which allows the aeromedical team to simply plugin their equipment without the need for a frequency converter. Lt. Col. Derek Bishop, 315th AW safety chief and aircraft

commander for the mission, said the value of these types of mis-sions can't be overstated."This mission is as close as you can get to real-world," he said.

"It's just like flying in to Ramstein, [Air Base, Germany] showingup at the window and being told you are now an AE mission. It'snot uncommon to have a non-C-17 crew assigned to the mission,and every opportunity we have to provide training for our AEcrews will only work to improve the efficiency of our real-worldAE missions."Menzies said that about 95 percent of the aeromedical crew on

the mission had never been on a C-17. She knew that successwould come as they stayed focused on what they were trained todo – as well as working quickly to resolve any issues theyencountered."Being able to learn a new aircraft in a couple of days can be

a challenge, and our team was definitely up to the task at hand,"

she said. "Trying to get everything done for an on-time takeoffrequired us to learn quickly, stay flexible and do whatever it tookto make it happen. The loadmasters from the 315th were a bighelp, and we all came together to make it happen."Capt. Sarah Burton, 459th AES flight nurse, couldn't

agree more."Utilizing other unit's assets, the 459th was given a great

opportunity for hands-on training with airframes we may not beas familiar with such as the C-17," she said. "This training keepsus world-wide mission ready enabling us to bring our injuredhome where they belong."To make the mission as real as possible, Bishop planned two

low-level flights for Saturday's training. He said he wanted theaeromedical crew to feel what they might experience when fly-ing in or out of a forward operating base on a live mission. Thelow-level flight pattern of banking and turning provided the teamwith a much different experience and platform from flying flatand level at 35,000 feet.With some of the aeromedical Airmen scheduled to deploy in

the near future, the training mission couldn't have been timelier.The three-day mission allowed aeromedical teammates to havetheir standard and no notice check rides signed off - ensuringtheir deployment readiness. According to Bishop, the overall training mission was a suc-

cess. He said it gave the 459th Airmen a good overview of theaircraft, and he is confident in their C-17 deployment abilities toget the mission off the ground and ensure its success.Col. Jamie Fontanella, 315th AW commander, was one of the

pilots on the mission, which was his last scheduled mission withthe 315th as the outgoing commander.Fontanella said that it's always a great opportunity to com-

plete a lot of training and currency requirements in just a cou-ple of short days with not a lot of expense to Air ForceReserve Command."Every opportunity our crews get to experience and work with

aeromedical teams is valuable," said Fontanella. "AE is an impor-tant part of the 315th Airlift Wing's mission, and training like thiskeeps us ready when we need to do it real world."

The training mission was part of a three day fly-awaywith Airmen from the 315th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. and aeromedical Airmen from the 459th Air RefuelingWing at Joint Base Andrews, Md.

Normally one expects to have a spiritualexperience in order to mature in their faith. If“I get right with God” then my life will changeand I will become more faithful. Maybe we have it backwards. The author,

C. S. Lewis was asked: how can we love ourneighbor when we don’t even like him or her?Lewis’ reply: “pretend.” In other words, if you

want to be more faithful to your calling to loveyour neighbor, don’t wait for a spiritual reve-lation, start by loving them and a strange thingwill happen – you will end up loving. The more you pray for a person, the more

you feel called to pray for them. The more youtreat a person with kindness and respect, themore you desire to be kind and respectful.Love the God you cannot see by loving theneighbor you can. You will find yourselfdrawing closer to God.

Your spiritual maturity

Chaplains, although they are not SexualAssault Response Coordinators, SexualAssault Victim Advocates or Volunteer VictimAdvocates, are well-versed with the SexualAssault Prevention and Response Program. Speaking with a Chaplain is not part of the

reporting process, and what a victim tells achaplain is not considered a restricted or unre-stricted report. A victim wishing to report asexual assault must speak with a SexualAssault Response Coordinator, Sexual AssaultVictim Advocate or Volunteer VictimAdvocate for determination of reportingoptions (AFI36-6001).

Chaplains are not mandatory reportersunder federal law according to the Manual forCourts-Martial. Conversations with Chaplainsare covered by federal confidentiality laws,which mean they legally cannot share whatthey have heard without the consent of the vic-tim. Chaplains can offer information on med-ical and mental health resources, legal andSAPR services available for the victim.

By Capt Michaela Judge315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

As a reservist, the responsibility and moral character thatcomes with wearing the uniform doesn’t stop with sign-out atthe end of each Unit Training Assembly – it’s a constant pro-fessional mindset.Technical Sgt. Jeffrey Landis, 315th Maintenance Squadron

aircraft maintenance mechanic, knows this all too well.During his commute home from a recent drill weekend,

Landis faced a very real call to action that would change thecourse of what should have been a familiar and uneventfuldrive through St. Stephens, S.C.“As I was going through the main area of town, I looked up

at the gas prices to see what they were. Just caddy-corner fromthe [gas] sign was this little red house with a white garage,”said Landis.At a glance he saw flames through the front garage door

next to the red house, and immediately thought someone hadlit a charcoal grill with too much lighter fluid.As Landis’ car passed the house, something in him told him

to look back – and this time he saw something different; aflame was peeking over the roof of the garage.Knowing the flames of a grill wouldn’t get that high, he

made the quick decision to go back and investigate.“Something just told me to turn around and go make sure.

When I got to the house, I first ran to the garage and lookedinside. The back left room was fully engulfed in flames. Ilooked for a second -- the best I could without going in, to makesure there wasn't anyone inside. When I didn't see anyone, I ranto the house beating on every window I passed,” he said.Without hesitation, Landis ran up on the porch and opened

the door of the house. Rushing inside he saw a woman in the kitchen, with her

two children close by on a couch playing games.“They all looked completely scared that I just came into

their house. I yelled, “Ma'am, do you know that your garageis on fire?” And when she ran passed me and saw the fire forherself, she came back completely hysterical, and picked upher phone, I think to call her husband,” said Landis.While she was on the phone, Landis continued yelling for

them to get out of the house. Taking charge, he grabbed thekids’ hands and they all rush outside to the front yard wherehe could safely call 911.“As soon as I got an operator, a St. Stephen’s police officer

was driving by, so I dropped my phone and flagged him down.[The police officer] stopped to get out and called dispatch forthe fire department.”During the wait for the fire department, the garage along

with one of their cars becomes fully engulfed in flames, withthe fire reaching about 40 feet high, said Landis.

“All of a sudden the powerline burns in half and falls to theground and starts popping andflashing as its shorting out as itburns. The power line contin-ued to do this for the rest of thetime that I was there,” he said.The destruction and danger

of the fire didn’t stop there,though.“When the power line fell,

the telephone pole side of thepower line fell on an older S10style pickup truck. The heatfrom the garage fire and thepower line together caused thetruck bursts in to flames, [caus-ing] the tires to start explod-ing,” he said.At that point, the roof and the

shingles of the garage caughtfire and the flame height dou-bled and spread to the treesbeside the garage. With theleaves and branching starting torain down in flames, Landissaid it caused the fire to runtoward the house and caught the back part of the house’swood siding on fire.With time no longer on their side, and as the fire engine

arrives on scene, the team had to jump into action immediate-ly. Though Landis could have taken a step back, he saw anoth-er need for help and didn’t hesitate to jump right in.“[The firefighters] instantly turned on the trucks pump and

grabbed the fire hose and ran it down the driveway to stop thehouse from catching on fire. While they were doing that, it leftonly one firefighter to get the hoses out of the truck and hook upto the fire hydrant 100 feet away. So the officer and I grabbedthe large hose and dragged it to the fire hydrant,” he said.Landis’ quick thinking not only ensured the fire didn’t

spread beyond the back siding of the house, his actions pro-vided the safe keeping and escape of a local family that day.“I don’t know if it took moral courage. [It was] just about

turning around and making sure that the family was aware ofthe situation and to make sure that they were able to get to asafe place,” said Landis.His actions that day mirrored what he said he’s learned as

a military member: doing the right thing at all times not mat-ter what.

“If you see something wrong or not being done correctlyit's your job as an NCO to correct the situation,” he said.

Landis’ humble yet dedicated work ethic has carried overand is evident in his day-to-day job as a Reservist.“TSgt Landis is an outstanding Airman who exemplifies

what the Air Force core values are. He has a strong leadershipmind and is always leaning forward with ideas for growing theAirmen who work for him. This act of service before self is justanother way that TSgt Landis has shown his dedication to theAir Force core values and as a citizen Airman,” said ChiefMaster Sgt. Ronald Johnson, 315th Maintenance flight chief.The actions that Landis took that day haven’t just garnered

the respect of his teammates, though.On March 3, 2015 Harlem Globetrotters player Zeus

McClurkin made a personal visit to Joint Base Charlestonwhere he recognized Landis as the team’s Hometown Hero.“It was an amazing opportunity to meet Sergeant Landis.

He's a real hero and embodies what we have been trying tocapture with our Hometown Hero's initiative. He saved a fam-ily's life, and he's a part of our nation's military. It's just ourchance to give back to these people who have sacrificed somuch for us over the years and it's really the least we can do,”said McClurkin.Landis, who was humbled by the appearance, will also be

recognized during the Harlem Globetrotters game at theCharleston Coliseum March 10, 2015.
