Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Tom BradingJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Country music legend Johnny Cash is renownedfor his impact to the entertainment industry. However,before Johnny Cash was dressed in black, he wore AirForce blues. Other prior military musicians includeWillie Nelson, Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley. One Joint Base Charleston pilot may be added to

that elite list of famous songwriting service members. For Maj. Pete Reddan, a pilot with the 437th Airlift

Wing, heading off to deployed locations, such as com-bat zones, is just another part of the job. But, in additionto soaring through the skies piloting aircraft, Reddan isalso an accomplished country music songwriter.Reddan's military inspired tune, 'Off to War,' was

recently produced and performed by Nashvillerecording artist, Brad Anderson. The song wasinspired by his experiences during deployments, aswell as the experiences of the men and womenReddan serves with. "Deployments can be emotional for everyone,"

said Reddan. "From the moment you step onto a planeor ship leaving for a deployed location, until themoment you return from that location, it's common toexperience a wide-range of emotions; nervousness,excitement, fear and of course, missing the ones youleave behind."Reddan is a self-titled 'campfire songwriter' and doesn't write music for

fame or fortune; to him it's a creative hobby. Reddan prefers to perform hismusic among friends, while enjoying their company around a beachsidecampfire. He also uses his peers for new songwriting ideas.It was during these campfire sessions that 'Off to War' was born.His personal experiences of deploying, feeling both excitement and

nervousness, gave Reddan the inspiration to write, 'Off to War.' However,it was the overwhelming positive response of his Airmen that gave him thecourage to take the song to the professional level. "I don't consider myself a professional songwriter," said Reddan. "'Off

to War' was originally a song I wrote to perform for my friends and fami-ly to enjoy."Long-time friend, Joe Morris, former Army Special Forces and current

road manager for country music recording artist Darryl Worley, not onlyprovided positive feedback to the song but also, according to Reddan,mentored the songwriting pilot during the copyrighting process and helpedReddan get his foot in the door to country music."To me, the creative process of songwriting is a rewarding adventure,"

said Reddan. "Creating something out of nothing is a rewarding aspect ofsongwriting. The positive response to my music has been incredible, butbeing able to simply sit down and compose something fresh, to me, is themost rewarding part of this adventure."According to Reddan, with the help of Morris, the 'adventure' led the

song to the doorsteps of country music industry insider, Dave McAfee,owner of Dave McAfee Productions. McAfee has toured overseas toSouthwest Asia for more than 10 years with recording artist, Toby Keithduring his United Service Organization trips and has flown on many mil-itary aircraft, including C-17's. McAfee's history of leaving his loved ones behind and traveling to

Southwest Asia helps connect him to Reddan's song. According toMcAfee, he was honored to work with Reddan and felt the pilot's military

service provided deeper sincerity to the lyrics. McAfee, along with thehelp of experienced music maker, Greg Perkins, elevated Reddan's camp-fire ballad and turned it into a country music hit single.All they needed was the right voice for the song."It took time to find the right singer for the song," said Reddan. "But,

when we heard Brad Anderson, I knew he was our guy. Brad has a weary,but strong voice.""Brad Anderson is an up-and-coming musician," said Reddan. "It's an

honor he chose my song to launch himself into the country music spot-light. Having a complete stranger not only enjoy my song, but taking it andgambling their career with it shows a lot of risk on his part, but also showsthe confidence he has in the song."Reddan felt the singer's voice captured the essence of the strength found

in the men and women he serves with. The song was recorded by McAfeeand Perkins and the track was the solo single released by Anderson.According to Anderson, his initial reaction to the song was simply, "We

have a hit here.""The finished project speaks volumes about what it takes for our armed

forces men and women to keep doing their job," said McAfee. "I look for-ward to working with Pete again in the future!"Reddan never imagined his military tune would travel from the camp-

fires of the Lowcountry to the music industry of Nashville, but it has. Thissummer, Brad Anderson is scheduled to release his first country album andReddan, his first songwriter, is planning on attending the album's releaseparty. However, Reddan is making no plans to be a full-time songwriter."Songwriting is only a hobby," said Reddan. "I'll keep writing, but I'm

an Airman first. My hope is when other service members deploy, they canlisten to the song and know they're not alone. Going off to war isn't meantto be easy, but sometimes, it's got to be done. Hopefully my song willremind service members they can overcome the anxieties of deploying andget through the emotions."

Commentary by Lt. Col. Andy Dawson841st Transportation Battalion commander

Last week I was in Jacksonville, Fla., and had the opportunity to visit thecorporate headquarters for Landstar and CSX, two nationwide transportationand logistics companies. During each visit, I was struck by the promotionalposters and advertisements hanging in the offices of each company and thepride they instilled, but I was more impressed by the visible display of eachorganization's core values prominently displayed for their employees to see.Likewise, as I interacted with each corporation's employees, you could seethat they embraced the culture and truly represented the values of their com-panies.Every day that I come to work at the 841st Transportation Battalion, I

pass seven posters hanging on the wall to my office - one for each of theArmy values - loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity andpersonal courage. Each of the services at Joint Base Charleston has a set ofcore values. When was the last time you took the time to think of how thesevalues influence your leadership and your organization?As a leader, your services' core values should guide your role in the

organization and help formulate the decisions you make. The Army hasturned its' values into an easy to remember acronym - LDRSHIP. From thefirst day in the military until retirement, they shape every decision that youmake. While we face unique challenges each and every day on JBCharleston, the Army's values provide the foundation for Army leaders toovercome the most demanding decisions and situations seen during 10 yearsof sustained combat - the longest period our nation has encountered. OurArmy is stronger today due to this strong base.Hopefully your Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors have embraced your respec-

tive services values like the employees of Landstar and CSX. How manyindividuals do you know that love to come to work every day compared tothose that dread showing up? While there may be many factors, have youthought about whether they live your service's values in their actions and thecorresponding impact on your unit? Your organization's culture and climateare directly impacted by the level at which the members embrace and live bythe respective service values.Think about how your service's values impact you as a leader, and the

members of your organization - it will provide you with a framework todetermine the climate and ultimate success of your unit.

Military Values: something to think about

Commentary by Dan Burley628th Air Base Wing Safety Office

It was a beautiful, mid-spring Sunday afternoonin Kenai, Alaska, a few years ago when my wifeand I witnessed what we thought for certain wasgoing to be a motorcycle fatality.After stopping on the side of the road to get a

few photos of a young moose grazing in a pond,we pulled back onto the highway and fell in linebehind a motorcycle which was following a pick-up truck. A few things immediately caught my eyeabout this situation. The motorcyclist was tailgat-ing and his lane selection, middle of the lane, wasa poor choice for the current traffic flow, all thisinsight, courtesy of being a past MotorcycleSafety Foundation rider coach. The motorcycle was a full-dresser type; wind-

shield, fairing, tandem seat and saddle bags. Therider was also a full dresser; full-face helmet,boots, mittens and a snow suit. Yes, I said "snowsuit." Remember, this is Alaska in the springtime.As I got up to highway speed, I kept some extraspace between the motorcycle and my vehicle, toallow extra time to react, just-in case. I didn't real-ly believe "just-in case" was up the road about aquarter mile. My wife saw it first. I could tell something was

amiss because she does this "Tsk Tsk" thing when

something astonishing is happening or is about tohappen. Because of a slight left bend in the road, I was

a split second behind her in deducing the develop-ments at hand. The motorcyclist had grown impatient with the

slowing pick-up truck in front of him; he movedto the left, one third of his lane, saw that he hadroom to pass, performed a head check to his leftand rolled on the throttle. I saw the lane changeand heard a roar come from his exhaust pipes atabout the same time I heard the "Tsk Tsk".What the motorcyclist couldn't see because of

his poor choice to tailgate was that a full-sizecrew-cab extended pick-up was about to enter theroadway from the right, at the upcoming "T"intersection. I could see that the young girl driv-ing the crew cab had spotted the same break intraffic that the motorcyclist had seen, and wasimpatient, as evidenced by her perfect executionof a classic "California" rolling stop". She imme-diately turned left into the traffic. What she couldn't see, but my wife and I had a

perfect view of, was the motorcyclist starting hispassing maneuver. It was at about this time I saidto my wife, "this is not good." Teaching MSFcourses makes you adept at being able to tell whena motorcyclist applies brakes and/or rolls on andoff their throttle, and in this case neither occurred.

The rider was full on throttle until impact. I'll leave out any gory stuff, but let's just say he

looked like a hockey player being flattened upagainst the ice rink boards as he impacted the leftrear door of the crew cab. This flattening probablysaved his life by spreading out the force of theimpact along his entire body length.I swerved around the downed rider and mishap

vehicles and found a safe spot to pull off the roadand called 911. By the time I got out of the car,there were about 10 people on site helping theinjured rider. One of the people helping was anurse who gave the rider two cardiopulmonary-respiratory rescue breaths to help him breatheagain. I found out the next day that the rider sur-vived and was released from the local hospital afew hours after the accident. It seems his wife wasadamant about him wearing "full-body armor"which incorporates; spine, chest, leg and arm pro-tection into a zip-on under suit. As with most mishaps there were a lot of fac-

tors that contributed to this accident. One ofwhich, both operators were impatient with thetraffic flow. This summer, while traveling, giveyourself plenty of time so you're not rushed andbecome impatient; factor in rest stops along theway to keep you fresh and alert and expect theunexpected. Remember, "Check yourself beforeyou wreck yourself."

Patience or Patient: It’s your choice

Commentary by Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Michael Brown628th Air Base Wing Chaplains office

Did you know if there was four percent more oxygen or six percent lessoxygen in the atmosphere, life on earth would be impossible? If the gravita-tional force on earth was altered or if Jupiter wasn't in the orbit it is in, lifeon earth would be impossible. In fact, Dr. Hugh Ross, a scholar in the fieldsof astronomy, physics and astrophysics researched 72 characteristics of theuniverse that must be precisely calibrated for life to exist on earth ... like thethickness of the earth's crust, the length of a day, the amount of seismicactivity, the mass of protons and electrons, the magnetic field of the earthand the color of the sun, just to name a few. These are "standards" of the uni-verse for the existence of life on earth.Here's another example. With a fixed reference, like magnetic north, we

are able to determine directions, locations and able to navigate from point Ato point B using a compass. Can you imagine the difficulty of navigating ifthe location of magnetic north was constantly changing, or in other wordsthe standard was changing? For members of the military, things like integrity, selflessness, honor and

excellence are standards. Instructions, regulations, customs, courtesies, poli-cies concerning drinking and driving and sexual assault, technical orders,procedures and fitness scores are all standards. The list goes on and on.There are usually consequences when we do not adhere to the standard.Sooner or later we get caught or even worse, injury and death can occur.As a fairly new pilot on a night flight, in an area I was not familiar with, I

was making a visual approach into an airport. When I flipped the switch onthe landing lights, I saw trees 20 feet below my landing gear. I didn't cross-check my visual cues with the instruments available to me. I accepted what Isaw with my eyes as the "truth," even though in reality I had become disori-

entated concerning my altitude. That disregard for standards could have costme my life that night. I shudder to think what would have happened had Iwaited a few more seconds to flip the switch on the landing light.You may be asking at this point, "Chaplain, where are you going with all

this?" Well, my job, my calling, is to protect your spiritual future. Spiritualstandards are important, so here are a couple pointers. First, if the truth youbelieve keeps changing, it may not be true at all. Enduring standards, evenspiritual ones, don't change that much. What was right and wrong yesterday,will probably be the same tomorrow. Second, life is disorientating, so checkyour spiritual instruments against each other. Read, study, discuss, observe,contemplate, challenge and test. Do not accept what one source tells you;verify it against other sources, don't ever stop cross-checking, scanning andsearching. It's a life-time exercise that brings spiritual awareness.Remember Dr. Ross from the first paragraph? He figured out the mathe-

matical probability that all 72 characteristics of the universe would be pre-cisely calibrated to sustain life on earth. It was one chance in ten million,trillion, trillion, trillion. If all these standards and precision came about bychance, that would violate the second law of thermodynamics, an air tightlaw of physics, which states that in a closed system, things will move fromorder to chaos unless energy is put into the system. In other words, your yardwill get weeds, your car will break down, and your relationships will fallapart if you do not act. Since our universe moved from chaos to order, Ibelieve something put energy into it. That's my humble opinion and I havecross-checked theology against science. The odds, precision and evidenceare convincing. What's your opinion? Can you ignore these standards in ouruniverse? Can you put your faith in chaos as a plan for your life? Maybe atornado will hit an auto salvage yard and build you a Corvette. Even better,maybe there's order for your life, a plan and a purpose to be discovered?

Protect your future, discover spiritual standards

Joint Base Charleston became the first joint base to go livewith the My Military Communities Application, commonlyknown as MyMC2, June 12.Developed by the 375th Communications Support

Squadron web-application development team at Scott AirForce Base, Ill., the app links to Facebook pages, lists tele-phone numbers and pulls event listings from organizationalFacebook pages that are officially associated with a base andconsolidates them into one place."JB Charleston is now live and available to users within

My Military Communities, which now has over 5,000 down-loads in a little more than a month," said Airman 1st ClassJacob Beeman, 375th Communication Support Squadron webapplication development programmer.Captain James Crawford, 375th CSPTS software engineer-

ing flight chief, explained that despite not having prior expe-rience with developing apps for Android and Apple platforms,his team quickly taught themselves Java scripting using free

online tutorials, and in just four weeks had the demo ready forthe commander's approval.MyMC2 is the first mobile application in the Air Force that

will put a list of every event on base and put it in the palm ofyour hand. The app is free to download and is now availablethrough both the Android Market and Apple's App Store.To download the app, users may open their smartphones app

store and search "My Military Communities" or "MyMC2"Once downloaded, the app opens to a main page that lists

the next five events available at each base. Users then have theoption to narrow or expand their search by organizational orevent type categories.For example, if someone is interested in finding something

to do this weekend with their family, they can simply choosethe "Recreation" category, which will pull all of the upcomingevents that fit that description. They may see that outdoorrecreation is hosting a family day hike on Saturday and canthen click on that event, which will give them a more detaileddescription, including time, location and a contact number.They can click a button and have the event automaticallyadded to the calendar on their mobile phone, call the organi-

zation or open the organization's Facebook page or web-siteright from the event posting. They can also touch a map iconwhich will open up the phone's native GPS app program fordirections to the event.The app was developed for Air Force and Department of

Defense-wide use, so if a military member moves to a newbase or travels somewhere for work, they can easily open theapp and view the list of events for that base.In addition to event listings in the app, there are two quick-

call buttons on the home page that can be programmed to pro-vide important numbers for the base to easily access. AirmanAgainst Drunk Driving and the Sexual Assault ResponseCenter number are the two numbers listed on the JBCharleston MyMC2 app.All units and organizations on base are encouraged to link

their official Facebook accounts to the JB Charleston, S.C.,application. Contact the JB Charleston Public Affairs office at963-5608 to receive MyMC2 training and sign a social mediapolicy letter.For more information, visit www.scott.af.mil/library/fact-

MyMC2: JB Charleston 1st joint base to go live

By Senior Airman Anthony HyattJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Each day, ideas and programs are being offered to make Joint Base Charleston more "joint"with the Air Force and the Navy. Recently, the 628th Communications Squadron "cracked thecode," in joint base information sharing.Second Lt. Htein Lin, 628th CS officer-in-charge of information assurance, and Senior

Airman William George, 628th CS Knowledge Operations manager, developed a way forNavy personnel to obtain access onto the Enterprise Information Management site."EIM is a Service specific initiative," said Lin. "The challenge we had prior to this capabil-

ity being available was users outside of the Air Force Network, our Navy tenant users, weren'table to access information that we [JB Charleston Air Force personnel] upload on the AF'sEIM."The process to get Navy personnel access to the EIM began in late January of this year. He

and George began doing research when Lin was presented the idea of the sharing information.George quickly coordinated with the EIM help desk and Enterprise Service Desk in order

to investigate possible technical concepts of operation. His work revealed the possiblitiy togrant access for those residing outside AFNet [to the Navy personnel].Lin and George had to test an individual from the Naval Weapons; Michael Mills from the

Navy Munitions Command, before the project could be labeled a success."He was our test subject," said Lin. "He cooperated with us and his support was instrumen-

tal to the success of this project. He responded right away with any issues."Mills provided George all the information needed to make a test account for EIM and view

shared information."The main challenge was communicating through the Enterprise Service Desk," Lin added.

"There was a time-delay with sending the correct information back and forth. There was no

central point of contact with the ESD, so every time we called we talked to someone new andthey just referenced our ticket.""EIM is basically a set of processes, disciplines and practices used to manage the informa-

tion created from an organization's data," said George.After ESD received the information, they would then create a "non-Air Force Network user

account" for the Navy individual.Normally, tenant users on the Weapons Station operate on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet."Our goal wasn't to merge the NMCI and AFNET, it was to allow NMCI users access to the

EIM system that resided on the AFNet," said Lin.EIM delivers information technology consulting, design, planning and implementation

services for organizations looking to rapidly automate paper-based business process, stream-line the management of complex case environments and transform information into newinsight to optimize results."It's simply amazing that 2nd Lt. Htein Lin and Senior Airman William George, in working

with our joint base partners in the Naval Munitions Command, were able to pull this off," saidLt. Col. David Joerres, 628th CS commander. "It's truly an honor and a privilege to daily watchthe cyber warriors of the 628th Communications Squadron as they blaze the joint basing trailwhile exceeding the expectations of our 22,000 customer base.""They've successfully cracked the code and other joint bases are now following their lead,"

added Joerres.To receive access to the EIM site, individuals must forward the following information to

their Information Assurance Officer: Name, Rank, EDI-PI, Unit and Office Symbol, DSNphone number, DoD Information Assurance training certificate, Primary e-mail and their secu-rity clearance. For those interested in getting EIM access should contact their AF counterpart's Information

Assurance Officer.

are and it's nice to be able to allocate the resources we have tohelp them out," said 1st Lt. Jenna Onken a pilot with the 300thAirlift Squadron. "It's a good feeling to help someone outwho's dealing with different kinds of hardships than we expe-rience back home."For Onken, a recent graduate from C-17 flight training

school, the mission providedher with experience flyingoutside the United States andcommunicating with interna-tional control towers in unfa-miliar locations. This mission was made

possible by the DentonAmendment, a StateDepartment program allow-ing the delivery of donatedhumanitarian aid to fly onAir Force training missionson a space available basis. The mission began Friday

afternoon when the 300th AScrew flew to Maxwell AFB,

Ala. to pick up agroup from the908th AeromedicalE v a c u a t i o nSquadron. Oncethe C-17A Globe-master III toucheddown in Alabama, the 908th AES crew quicklyboarded the aircraft and configured it as a mobilehospital while medics played the role of injuredservice members receiving treatment. The 908thAES utilized their time in the air by participating inlife saving scenarios they would encounter whentransporting patients from Afghanistan to hospitalsin Germany and the United States.Staff Sgt. Alex Hull, a loadmaster with the 300th

AS and traditional reservist, also received a checkride on the flight, an annual assessment testing hisknowledge of aircraft systems and proficiency inloading the aircraft correctly and safely. "Denton missions are challenging because you

don't know what you'll be faced with when you arrive,” saidSergeant Hull. "You don't know what kind of equipmentthey'll have or if they have any equipment at all do downloadthe cargo. It's always and adventure but when the mission isdone it's very satisfying." In the last year, the 315th AW has flown several Denton

missions delivering thousands of pounds of donated suppliesand equipment to Nicaragua, Honduras and earthquake vic-tims in Haiti. Master Sgt. Bobby Barrett, a loadmaster with the 300th AS,

sees these missions as a nice change of pace. "It's a great feel-ing. We've been supporting the war effort for so long, it'srewarding to do something different such as bringing suppliesto feed and help people."

Master Sgt. Bobby Barrett, a loadmaster with the 300th Airlift Squadron, offloads a pallet ofhumanitarian supplies in Managua, Nicaragua. This mission was made possible by the DentonAmendment, a State Department program allowing the delivery of donated humanitarian aid to flyon Air Force training missions on a space available basis.

By Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – Unemployed veterans ages 35 to 60 canapply for up to 12 months of paid training through a new programsponsored by the Departments of Labor and Veterans Affairs.The population served by the Veterans Retraining

Assistance Program is particularly in need, said Curtis Coy,the VA’s deputy undersecretary for economic opportunity. Ofabout 900,000 U.S. veterans who are unemployed, nearly two-thirds are between 35 and 60 years old, according to the LaborDepartment.“The program was created to provide assistance to unem-

ployed veterans … who are not covered by any of our educa-tion programs and need training or [an] education boost fortoday's high-demand occupations,” Coy said.“They may have had entitlement to education benefits at

one time, but have either used them or the time frame to usethem has passed,” he added. “This generous new benefitgeared toward this specific cohort of veterans provides themthe opportunity to 'jump start' a new career that they may nothave otherwise been able to afford.”The program, which began today, provides 12 months of

training assistance equal to the monthly full-time payment rateunder the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty program, whichcurrently pays $1,473 per month.Participants must be enrolled in a community college or

technical school program approved for VA benefits. The pro-gram must lead to an associate degree, non-college degree orcertificate.To qualify, a veteran also must:-- Be unemployed on the day of application;-- Have a discharge that is not dishonorable;-- Not be eligible for any other VA education benefit pro-

gram, such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill or Montgomery GI Bill;-- Not receive VA compensation for being unemployable;-- Not be enrolled in a federal or state job training program;

and-- Pursue a program that leads to employment in one of 210

occupations the Labor Department designates as high-demand.The list of occupations, available on the VA website,

includes jobs in construction, machine operation, transporta-tion, preschool education, health care and many other fields.The program will fund up to 45,000 participants between

July 1 and Sept. 30, and an additional 54,000 participants fromOct. 1, 2012 through March 31, 2014. Labor officials said thedepartment will offer employment assistance to every veteranwho completes the program.“The overall aim of VRAP is to help veterans attain person-

al and economic success,” Coy said.Eligible veterans may call 800-827-1000 to learn more

about the program, or visit the websites listed below.Applicants will receive a letter in the mail letting them knowif they are eligible to participate, Coy said.

WASHINGTON –U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs cli-nicians offer a comprehensive review of the health concerns ofIraq and Afghanistan veterans and practical managementguidelines for primary care providers in an article entitled,"Post Deployment Care for Returning Combat Veterans."The article is published in the "Journal of General Internal

Medicine," the official journal of the Society of GeneralInternal Medicine."We at VA are always seeking ways to improve the quality of

health care we provide to our veterans," Secretary of VeteransAffairs Eric K. Shinseki said. "This article provides valuableinsight into the fastest-growing segment of the veteran popula-tion at a time they are currently returning from combat."Since September 11, 2001, approximately 2.4 million mili-

tary personnel have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, accord-ing to VA officials. The health care needs of this particularpatient population are complex, officials said, and require awell-integrated interdisciplinary approach to care.The article, written by Juliette Spelman, Stephen Hunt,

Karen Seal, and Lucile Burgo-Black, reviews how combatdeployments can impact the physical, psychological, andsocial health of veterans and describes their unique health careneeds. This includes the need for assessment and managementof injuries associated with blast exposures [including mildtraumatic brain injury] as well as mental health conditionssuch as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and sub-stance abuse.Other important health concerns discussed include chronic

musculoskeletal pain, medically unexplained symptoms, com-plications from environmental exposures, heightened suiciderisk, sleep disturbances, and impairments in family, occupa-tional and social functioning.The article summarizes evidence which supports elevated

frequencies of physiological and behavioral cardiovascularrisk factors, including hypertension and tobacco use, raisingconcerns about future health implications for these veterans. Inlight of relationships between physical, psychological and psy-chosocial concerns in this population, the VA authors recom-mend an interdisciplinary approach to care directed towardmitigating the long-term health impacts of combat.This comprehensive review by VA clinicians will help both

VA and non-VA health providers offer veterans the best possi-ble care as they return from combat. It affords all the opportu-nity to develop greater collaboration between VA and commu-nity providers to ensure optimal post-deployment care andservices for our returning combat veterans and their families.Each VA medical center has a highly specialized Operation

Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation NewDawn care management team in place that coordinates and over-sees transition and care for service members and veterans. A ded-icated case manager is assigned to work with the service mem-ber/veteran and family to screen for case management needs andimplement a plan of care to completion, or as long as needed.

Story and photo by Staff Sgt. Shane Ellis315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Reservists with the 315th Airlift Wing hosted anAir Force Individual Ready Reserve muster at JointBase Charleston, S.C., June 8, 2012.The muster gave IRR members the opportunity to

update their contact information and medical recordsas well as receive information on current veteran'sbenefits and U.S. Air Force Reserve opportunities. More than 20 IRR musters are scheduled to take

place in 2012 at various active duty, Guard andReserve bases, and more than 200 IRR membersreceived orders to attend the event here.Prior to arriving here, the selected IRR members

received a notification letter in the mail which con-tained their orders, required forms and additionalinformation about the muster. "IRR members have a military service obligation,

and we are required to reach out to them annually,"said Senior Master Sgt. Stephanie Moncalieri, AirReserve Personnel Center Total Force Service Centersenior enlisted leader. "We make the most of the timewe have with them and while they are here they gothrough orientation, Veteran's Administration briefin-gs, medical screenings, civilian employment updates,and are issued identification cards as needed."

Staff Sgt. Laneice Chapman, 315th AW customersupport specialist, coordinated the event here with thehelp of numerous 315th AW Airmen and support teammembers. "The muster is a great opportunity to evaluate and

improve our crisis response," said Chapman. "We usea structured format to update and maintain IRR mem-bers contact information and availability for activa-tion in the event members are called up. Having accu-rate and timely information is crucial to the overallsuccess of our mission." According to Chief Master Sgt. David Paullet, Air

Reserve Personnel Center command chief master ser-geant, the IRR members add to the depth of the mili-tary."This is our strategic reserve, should we have a war

that requires the mobilization of additional people,”said Paullet. "The IRR provides us with the ability toreach back and pull from the vast amount of experi-ence and expertise, and musters like this help keep usprepared for any mobilization we may encounter." Five recruiters from the 315 AW Recruiting

Service attended the muster in an effort to answerquestion about current Air Force Reserve needs andcareer opportunities. Lunch was provided by the315th AWRS, and more than 12 IRR members madeserious inquires about potentially joining the USAFR.
