Brig. Gen. John Flournoy, Jr., visited the 315th Airlift WingJan. 24 as part of an effort to get out and see the wings underhis command. Gen. Flournoy is Commander, 4th Air Force,Air Force Reserve Command, March Air Reserve Base, Calif.

Col. James Fontanella, 315th AW commander, kicked offthe general's visit with a breakfast with 315th AW leadershipat the Charleston Club, followed by a Team Charleston mis-sion briefing.

After a quick windshield tour of the base, Flournoystopped by the 315th Operations Group to meet with membersof the three flying squadrons, the 315th AeromedicalEvacuation Squadron and the 315th Airlift Control Flight.

The general told the Airmen he visited that he has an "opene-mail policy" and he wanted to hear if someone was havinga problem causing them frustration and causing them to ques-

tion their continued service in the Reserve. "My staff doesn't read my e-mail, so if you

have a burning issue, I owe you a response. Itmight not be the answer you want to hear, butI promise you that I'll get you a response,"Flournoy said.

An Airman asked why he was still doing hisown travel voucher in DTS since he's a gener-al. "Because I want to feel the pain,” Flournoysaid. “I want to know what you're goingthrough - when you come home from a longtrip on a Sunday night and you've got to beback to work Monday morning, but are think-ing, 'I got to file that voucher, but I can't getinto DTS because it's down,’ or whatever, Iwant to feel that pain too."

"I applaud everything that you do every day,but I need to hear about it – the things that youdon't like and the things that you do like," headded.

Flournoy said he understand the frustrationand inconveniences that last year's sequestra-tion, furloughs and government shutdown havecaused to every Airman and Air Force civilian.He said he also understands how these events impacted themission.

Flournoy applauded the wing on its performance for therecent unit effectiveness inspection. "You guys really set thebar high and that's a great thing."

Acknowledging the great relationship that the 315th haswith the 437th AW and the 628th Air Base Wing, Flournoysaid, "The relationship with your active duty counterpartsacross the street is absolutely critical, especially as we come

out of a conflict and don't have the opportunity to deploy likewe did before and at the level that we did before. It's importantthat you continue to exercise with them and be inclusive con-stantly.”

Flournoy also visited Airmen with the 315th MaintenanceGroup to learn about their excellence to detail and hard workin launching and maintaining Charleston's fleet of C-17s.

He finished the day by joining 315th AW leadership for apre-unit training assembly briefing.

In 1992, then-Airman Basic Mark Bronsonbegan his career as a maintainer at Loring AirForce Base, Maine. Twenty two years, a newcareer field and a number of awards later,Bronson, now a Chief Master Sergeant, hasreturned to the East Coast to serve as the senior,Air Force enlisted leader for Joint BaseCharleston.

On Jan. 5, 2014, Chief Master Sgt. MarkBronson officially took over as the new commandchief of the 628th Air Base Wing – replacingChief Master Sgt. Earl Hannon. As the commandchief, Bronson is the principal advisor to the com-mander on all matters of morale, welfare, readi-ness, professional development and operational

utilization of the enlisted force. Bronson is joined by his wife, Sharon, and his

three boys: Christian, Andrew and Jonathan. “My family and I have journeyed a long road

over many years, to get to this point,” saidBronson. “We’re thrilled to be in Charleston andto be given the chance to lead from the front.”

Bronson grew up in Windsor, N. Y., as theyoungest of eight children.

“I grew up as a country boy on a small 180-acrefarm,” he said.

But Bronson actually grew up as an only childin the household. Because there was 10 yearsbetween him and the next youngest child, most ofhis siblings were already out of the house beforehe grew up.

Even though his brothers and sisters were outof the house, they still played a major role in his

life. Bronson admits he owes them a lot for hav-ing helped mold him into the person he is today.

“Each of my siblings taught me a different tal-ent and they each wanted my childhood to be dif-ferent than theirs,” Bronson said. “One of mybrothers taught me how to draw and play chess,another brother showed me how to farm, anothershowed me how to throw a baseball and footballand my sisters would take me places and buy methings - things my parents couldn’t afford. Theyalso took me with their families on trips and vaca-tions. I hope they take pride in my successes,because they definitely contributed to them.”

After high school, Bronson decided to attendcollege, which he did for only one semester atState University of New York, BroomeCommunity College.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – The vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff hasurged senators to “grandfather” any changes Congress makes to the mili-tary retirement system.

The term refers to allowing changes to affect only service memberswho join the military on or after the effective date.

Testifying at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Jan. 28, 2014,alongside Acting Deputy Defense Secretary Christine Fox, Navy Adm.James Winnefeld Jr. discussed changes from the Bipartisan Budget Act tothe military retirement system, slowing growth in Defense Departmentmanpower costs and keeping faith with America’s troops and veterans.

“When I came into service as a young, aspiring fighter pilot, I didn'tthink I was very smart – I didn't really know or understand what promiseswere being made to me,” Winnefeld said. “But I did feel like I was goingto get 30 days of leave, I was going to be able to have my own personalhealth care covered, and that I was going to be able to retire at 20 years.”

Current and retired service members have those expectations, he said,so grandfathering any changes made through legislation would prevent asense that they are not receiving what they were promised.

The Bipartisan Budget Act, passed on Jan. 15 and slated to take effectin December, caps the annual cost of living adjustment for working-agemilitary retirees at one percent below inflation as measured by theConsumer Price Index. The inflation adjustment would return to its fullamount when a veteran reaches age 62. The omnibus bill exempts dis-abled veterans and survivors, medically retired personnel and SurvivorBenefit Plan annuitants.

“The inclusion of the ‘CPI-minus-one’ provision has clearly led to con-siderable and understandable anxiety among those who are currentlyretired or who are planning for retirement,” Winnefeld said. “I want tomake it clear that [Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Martin Dempsey]and I, and the service chiefs and senior enlisted leaders, support grandfa-thering any changes to our military retirement structure.”

Dempsey has testified several times on this point, the admiral noted.“The current CPI-minus-one provision does not fit within that principle,”he added. Winnefeld said DOD leadership believes changes to the retire-

ment plan, if appropriate, should be made only after a holistic look at themany variables involved in such a plan.

The vice chairman also clarified that the Pentagon isn’t seeking to cutservice members’ pay, but noted military compensation continues to rise“at a time when our entire budget is under great pressure.”

“We are not advocating a cut in pay,” Winnefeld said. “We are tryingto slow the growth of military compensation. The trajectory we have beenon over the last decade, though necessary to address a deficit we were in,is not sustainable.”

Contrary to what some are reporting, he said, none of these proposalswould reduce the take-home pay of anyone in uniform. For context, thevice chairman cited statistics showing military pay and compensationhave increased by more than 80 percent since 2001, surpassing private-sector wage growth by nearly 40 percent.

Additionally, Winnefeld said, the Quadrennial Review of MilitaryCompensation concluded that to attract and retain the best that Americahas to offer, military pay should equal around the 70th percentile of civil-ians with comparable education and experience. “But in 2000, mid-gradeenlisted personnel only placed in the 50th percentile,” he added. “By2009, our higher compensation trajectory enabled us to more than closethis gap.”

In 2012, the QRMC reported the average enlisted compensationbetween the 85th and 90th percentile, understandably so during a decadeof war, Winnefeld told the Senate panel. “While these percentile numbersare not a goal, they are an indicator that we can and should graduallyplace compensation on a more sustainable trajectory,” he said.

Winnefeld emphasized the importance of good stewardship over theresources with which American taxpayers have entrusted DOD to protectthe nation.

“This means investing prudently to maintain the highest quality all-vol-unteer force, while simultaneously getting the best value for the capabili-ty, capacity and readiness that we need to win decisively in combat,” hesaid. “In the end, we believe the most important way we keep faith withthe fantastic young men and women who volunteer to defend our nationis to only send them into combat with the best possible training andequipment we can provide. Controlling compensation growth in a toughbudget environment will help us do just that.”

DOD UPDATES

Commentary by Army Gen. Martin DempseyChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

WASHINGTON – In the days followingSeptember 11, 2001, women and men took to theseas, to the skies and to the sands in defense ofour country. It’s worth noting that women servedin combat zones in Afghanistan and Iraq becausethey were needed. They shared a common com-mitment to their nation with their male counter-parts in squadrons, ships and squads.

Today, and every other day, women and men,sons and daughters, mothers and fathers faithfullyserve our nation at home and abroad. We celebratetheir contributions. They make the United Statesmilitary the dominant military force on the planet.

Victor Hugo once wrote, “There isone thing stronger than all the armiesin the world and that is an idea whosetime has come.” One year ago thismonth, we repealed the combat exclu-sion on women in the military. Weformally recognized reality — thatwomen serve courageously in combatzones whenever or wherever theirnation calls. By this act, we codifiedour commitment to offer everyone inuniform equal professional opportuni-ties to serve the nation.

We continue to work to make this a realitythroughout the force. We’re reviewing standards,not to artificially lower them but to ensure we

have them right. We’re educatingleaders. As our sacred responsibility,we are committed to improving thereadiness of the force while alsoincreasing opportunities for ourwomen in uniform. These two goalsare complementary, not contradictory.

When in contact with the enemy,the individual soldier, sailor, airman orMarine doesn’t consider whether theircomrade in arms is a man or woman.They care about whether they can do

their job. There is a simple explanation for this:trust transcends gender.

The service of our women and men in uniformis worthy of recognition today and every day.

Vice Chairman urges Congress to‘grandfather’ retirement changes

Chairman’s Corner: Trust transcends gender

WASHINGTON – While President BarackObama’s State of the Union speech Jan. 28, 2014,was dominated by domestic concerns, he alsoaddressed national security concerns.

“Tonight, because of the extraordinary troopsand civilians who risk and lay down their lives tokeep us free, the United States is more secure,”Obama told members of the House and Senateand other government leaders gathered in theHouse of Representatives chamber.

The president touted his efforts to end the warsin Iraq and Afghanistan. When he took office inJanuary 2009, he noted, 180,000 Americans wereserving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, the war inIraq is over and the war in Afghanistan is enteringits final months. All of the troops are out of Iraq,and 60,000 Americans have been withdrawn fromAfghanistan, with about 38,000 Americans stillserving in the country.

“With Afghan forces now in the lead for theirown security, our troops have moved to a supportrole,” Obama said. “Together with our allies, wewill complete our mission there by the end of thisyear, and America’s longest war will finally beover.”

Next year, the United States will continue tosupport a unified Afghanistan, he said. “If theAfghan government signs a security agreementthat we have negotiated, a small force ofAmericans could remain in Afghanistan withNATO allies to carry out two narrow missions:training and assisting Afghan forces, and countert-errorism operations to pursue any remnants of al-Qaida,” Obama said. “For while our relationshipwith Afghanistan will change, one thing will not:our resolve that terrorists do not launch attacksagainst our country.”

It is still a dangerous world, the president said.“While we have put al-Qaida’s core leadership ona path to defeat, the threat has evolved, as al-

Qaida affiliates and other extremists take root indifferent parts of the world,” he said.

The threat remains in Yemen, Somalia, Iraq andMali, and the United States must work with alliesto disrupt and disable the terror networks. “InSyria, we’ll support the opposition that rejects theagenda of terrorist networks,” the president said.“Here at home, we’ll keep strengthening ourdefenses, and combat new threats like cyberat-tacks. And as we reform our defense budget, wehave to keep faith with our men and women inuniform, and invest in the capabilities they needto succeed in future missions.”

America must remain vigilant, the presidentsaid, and while the American military is thebedrock of security, it does not and cannot actalone. “As commander in chief, I have used forcewhen needed to protect the American people, andI will never hesitate to do so as long as I hold thisoffice,” Obama said. “But I will not send ourtroops into harm’s way unless it’s truly necessary,nor will I allow our sons and daughters to bemired in open-ended conflicts. We must fight thebattles that need to be fought, not those that ter-rorists prefer from us -- large-scale deploymentsthat drain our strength and may ultimately feedextremism.”

The United States will continue to aggressivelypursue terrorist networks through more targetedefforts and by building the capacity of foreignpartners, Obama said.

The United States must move off a permanentwar footing, the president emphasized. “That’swhy I’ve imposed prudent limits on the use ofdrones – for we will not be safer if people abroadbelieve we strike within their countries withoutregard for the consequence,” he said. “That’s why,working with this Congress, I will reform our sur-veillance programs – because the vital work ofour intelligence community depends on publicconfidence, here and abroad, that the privacy ofordinary people is not being violated.”

The president also called on Congress to lift

the remaining restrictions on detainee transfersand allow the administration to close the prison atGuantanamo Bay, Cuba. This is needed, Obamasaid, “because we counter terrorism not justthrough intelligence and military action, but byremaining true to our constitutional ideals, andsetting an example for the rest of the world.”

The president said the diplomatic power of theUnited States – backed by the threat of force – “iswhy Syria’s chemical weapons are being eliminat-ed, and we will continue to work with the interna-tional community to usher in the future the Syrianpeople deserve – a future free of dictatorship, ter-ror and fear.”

American diplomacy has halted the progress ofIran’s nuclear program and rolled parts of thatprogram back for the very first time in a decade,the president said.

The United Nations sanctions helped to makethis opportunity possible, the president said. “Butlet me be clear,” he added. “If this Congress sendsme a new sanctions bill now that threatens toderail these talks, I will veto it. For the sake ofour national security, we must give diplomacy achance to succeed. If Iran’s leaders do not seizethis opportunity, then I will be the first to call formore sanctions, and stand ready to exercise alloptions to make sure Iran does not build a nuclearweapon.

“But if Iran’s leaders do seize the chance –we’ll know soon enough – then Iran could take animportant step to rejoin the community of nations,and we will have resolved one of the leadingsecurity challenges of our time without the risksof war,” he continued.

The president vowed to slash the backlog ofdisability claims at the Veterans AffairsDepartment and to continue efforts to help veter-ans returning to civilian life. “We’ll keep workingto help all our veterans translate their skills andleadership into jobs here at home,” he said. “Andwe all continue to join forces to honor and sup-port our remarkable military families.”

“My brother-in-law was an engineer for IBM, so he and mysister talked me into an engineering program,” he said. “I wasgood at math and science, but my heart wasn’t really into it.”

As the first semester passed, Bronson decided to return tohis old job working for a small auto parts store.

“My boss decided to hire me right back on. It’s funnybecause she asked me about college and I told her I wanted totake some time off,” Bronson said. “That’s when she replied‘you’ll never go back.’”

Those four words, you’ll never go back, bothered theWindsor native, and he kept that phrase in the back of hismind as a motivator.

Bronson decided to join the Air Force in May 1992, wherehe started his career as a Munitions Systems Specialist. Hisfirst duty assignment was at Loring Air Force Base, Maine.

“I certainly look back on those days with good memories,”the chief said. “There’s a lot of camaraderie in the AMMOcommunity. I had some great experiences which helped devel-op who I am, but I wanted to gain some additional skills andsee what other opportunities the Air Force had to offer.”

After five years in the maintenance career field, Bronsontook advantage of the Air Force’s retraining program, retrain-ing into the medical career field: diagnostic imaging or X-Rayin January 1997.

At this point, Bronson was still unclear if 20 years in theAir Force was in his future.

In 2001, he retrained again, this time into the DiagnosticUltrasound career field.

“With a couple of years working in Ultrasound, I knew myAir Force career was going well. I was blessed with promo-tions and the bottom line was that I loved what I was doingand serving in the Air Force,” said Bronson. “At some pointin your career, everyone realizes it’s not just a job, it’s a call-ing, and that time is different for everyone. The intangiblebenefits the Air Force offered couldn’t be beat.”

In March 2003, Bronson was selected to be an ultrasound tech-nical training instructor, and eventually he was selected as thecourse supervisor. His assignments include bases in Maine,

Germany, Florida, South Carolina, California, Texas and Colorado.Bronson was able to achieve many of his educational goals

early in his career. He earned four Community College of theAir Force Associate Degrees; Munitions System Technology,Radiology Technology, Instructor of Technology and MilitaryScience, and Diagnostic Medical Sonography. In 2010, hereceived his Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education.

One thing the new command chief promises to bring to thetable is dedication--dedication to the Air Force and the menand women of Joint Base Charleston.

“Everyone has heard the saying ‘Leave the place betterthan it was before you arrived.’ That philosophy has changedfor me over the years, especially after I made chief,” saidBronson. “I now believe ‘You leave the people better thanthey were before you got there.’ When the people are better,the unit will be too. It’s about impacting the people you workfor in a positive way.”

In his more than two decades of service to the U. S. AirForce, Bronson has experienced many proud moments in hiscareer – but one of his proudest moments didn’t exactly hap-pen to him, but instead to one of his troops.

It was in 2007, when Bronson, a master sergeant at thetime, was the 21st Medical Support Squadron superintendentat Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. He had just become thesupervisor of [at the time] Senior Airman Abigail Tabita andhe quickly noticed a discouraged Airman.

“I saw a very sharp young lady, who was extremely smart andmotivated but was frustrated with past leadership,” said Bronson.

Supervising the Airman, Bronson was able to provide sta-ble ground for her. With hard work and professionalism, theywere able to submit Tabita for several Air Force level awardsin her career field. But his proudest moment came whenTabita attended Airman Leadership School and walked awaywith the highest award.

“To see someone so quiet and humble win the JohnLevitow award speaks volumes,” said Bronson. “I don’t thinkI ever jumped so high when they announced her name as thewinner. To see an Airman defeated and to turn around, work

hard and be rewarded was exciting.”“Obviously, making chief master sergeant and becoming

command chief are very proud moments in my career and ahuge honor, but the farther you get into your Air Force career,the less it becomes about you and the more it becomes aboutthose you serve,” he said.

They say actions speak louder than words and that can’t beany truer than Bronson’s achievements. With multiple honorgraduate awards under his belt and numerous Air Force levelawards, Bronson has proven he is more than capable of join-ing Team Charleston’s leadership team.

Chief Bronson believes success can be achieved by follow-ing simple, but not always easy, steps – “Live by the core val-ues, work hard and own it.”

The Air Force core values need to be the foundation foryour decisions and actions, he said. Almost always, whensomeone stumbles, it is because there was a breakdown in oneor more of our core values.

Working hard and giving your best effort in whatever youare called upon is all we can ask of you, Bronson said, regard-less of how big or small the task is.

“‘Own it’ applies to many areas. If you live in base housingor the dorms, own it – treat them and take care of them as if itwas your own. When you are walking around Joint BaseCharleston and see trash, pick it up – own it. As supervisors weneed to own it when it comes to guiding, mentoring and devel-oping those we’ve been entrusted to lead,” the Chief said.

“Those things will carry you a long way, not just in themilitary, but in the civilian world and in life in general,” hesaid. “If you carry those values, have a strong work ethic andown it regardless of how big or small the task is - you willbe successful!”

The chief is currently making his rounds across Joint BaseCharleston to meet the Airmen, Sailors and civilians who keepthe base running and play a vital role in the defense of our nation.

“My family and I are excited to be here,” said Bronson. “I lookforward to meeting each and every one of the members of TeamCharleston and working alongside you in the years ahead.”

Commentary by Amaani LyleAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – A senior Defense Department officialand members of the Armed Forces Chaplains Board reportedto Congress Jan. 29, 2014, regarding the accommodation ofreligious practices within the services.

At a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee’s mili-tary personnel subcommittee, Virginia S. Penrod, deputy assistantsecretary of defense for military personnel policy, said theDefense Department clarified freedoms and service members’protection of rights in DOD Instruction 1300.17, Accommodationof Religious Practices Within the Military Services.

The clarification resulted from congressional concerns and lan-guage in the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act, she said.

Penrod told the House panel she conducted a teleconfer-ence with more than 30 chaplains to pulse the field and gaugenot only the level of command support, but also whether

chaplains ever had been required to perform duties that wereinconsistent with their faith.

“I asked if they were allowed to preach or practice accord-ing to the tenets of their faith; their response was an over-whelming ‘yes,’” she said.

The survey indicated that chaplains felt they were given thesupport they needed from their commands, and 100 percent ofrespondents said they had not performed ceremonies thatwent against their faith, Penrod said. Still, she acknowledged,a few chaplains said some leaders tend to be overly reactiveto social media.

But, “almost all believed the key to a productive and trustingclimate was good communication and continued training on therights of chaplains [and] commanders,” she said.

Chaplains and commanders, she added, continue to navi-gate recent policy changes such as same sex marriage, buthave not expressed a difficulty in doing so. “The group feltthat social media rumors were the source of most misinforma-

tion, and these create constant challenges to keep the chap-lains properly informed of the facts,” she said.

Although she gleaned feedback from a small survey sampling,Penrod said, her direct communication with the chaplains rein-forced that the services’ chiefs of chaplains have open communi-cation with the chaplains. And chaplains, she noted, are not con-cerned about free exercise or expression of their faiths.

“If an incident does occur, they are confident it will beworked appropriately,” she said.

Armed Forces Chaplains Board member Chaplain (RearAdm.) Mark L. Tidd, chief of Navy chaplains, echoed the sen-timent and related to Congress that service members shouldbe afforded dignity, respect and compassion, whatever theirreligious beliefs.

“For many of our people, religious faith is an essential com-ponent – even the foundation of their resilience in the face ofadversity,” he said. “Chaplains bring a message of hope for allwho seek our support, often in times of our deepest human need.”

From TRICARE

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The TRICARE Retiree DentalProgram offers comprehensive dental coverage to all enrolledmembers. Available to retired service members and their fam-ily, retired National Guard and Reserve members and theirfamily, Medal of Honor recipients, their family and survivors,TRDP is currently open for enrollment.

TRDP covers diagnostic and preventive services, like examsand cleanings at 100 percent. Emergency services and basicrestorative services, like fillings, are covered at 80 percent. Theannual deductible is $50 per person, each benefit year, and $150per family per benefit year. The annual maximum benefit is$1,300 per person per year for enhanced enrollees; this is anincrease of $100 from last year. The annual maximum fororthodontia increased from $1500 to $1750. For more informa-tion, visit www.tricare.mil/Dental/TRDP/Costs.

Eligible beneficiaries can enroll online through theBeneficiary Web Enrollment website (BWE),www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/bwe or go to www.trdp.org to print,complete and mail in a TRDP enrollment application.

To enroll on the BWE, beneficiaries will need a DS logon,CAC or DFAS login. Enrollees may be asked to enter infor-mation to establish an electronic funds transfer (EFT) methodfor payment of their monthly premiums, but EFT is not anoption for the TRDP so enrollees should not enter anything inthat section.

Federal law requires that TRDP premiums be deductedautomatically through a monthly allotment from retirementpay. EFT is available only as an alternative method of pay-ment for beneficiaries who do not receive retired pay orwhose retired pay is insufficient to cover the allotmentamount. For those eligible to pay TRDP monthly premiumsby EFT, visit www.trdp.org to download the EFT authoriza-

tion form.There is a 12-month commitment for initial enrollments.

After a year, beneficiaries can decide to continue on a monthto month basis as long as they haven't added additional familymembers to the plan. If a beneficiary and spouse are alreadyenrolled, adding a child or any other family member resets the12-month period.

Retirees who enroll in TRDP within four months of theirretirement date have immediate access to the full benefitpackage. If they miss that four-month window, there is a 12-month waiting period for coverage of more advanced servicessuch as crowns, bridges and implants.

Delta Dental of California manages the TRICARE RetireeDental Program. Beneficiaries can register at www.trdp.org toaccess several online features such tracking claims, andadding or removing family members. For information, pleasevisit www.tricare.mil/TRDP.

Story and photo by Airman 1st ClassClayton CupitJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Beth Munoz, Joint Base Charleston -Weapons Station Navy Exchange generalmanager, was presented the Above andBeyond Award by Employer Support of theGuard and Reserve Jan. 17, 2014, at theESGR Annual Awards Banquet held at theEmbassy Suites in Columbia, S.C.

ESGR is a Department of Defense agencythat develops and promotes a culture in whichemployers support and value the militaryservice of their employees.

The award recognizes those employers atthe state and local level who have gone aboveand beyond the legal requirements for sup-porting Guard and Reserve members bygranting leave and providing support. Theaward is given to select employers from eachstate that has companies employingGuardsmen and reservists.

"The award is very humbling," saidMunoz. "It's a reflection of all the hard workmy staff has done."

Munoz was nominated for the award byAlex Schmidt, NEX loss prevention manager,who is also a member of the S.C. ArmyNational Guard and is enrolled in ArmyOfficer Candidate School.

While working his full-time job at the NEX,

Schmidt is expected to maintain the standardsof the OCS that he attends part-time.

"Unlike the federal OCS program, whichlasts about two months, the state OCS pro-gram is spread out across 18 months," saidSchmidt. "For me to complete OCS, I needthe support of my employer. Beth goes aboveand beyond to make sure I have time allottedfor my duties."

To ensure Schmidt and other Guard andreservists can fulfill their military obligations,Munoz helps coordinate their schedules sothey can balance their duty and non-dutywork.

"For example, inventory is coming up, andthis is one of the busiest times for the store,"said Schmidt. "My Reserve dates conflictwith our inventory. It would be understand-able for the employer to ask me to be here, butwith Beth, she understands what the require-ments are for this program and allowed methe time off. My commitment to OCS wouldhave suffered without her support."

The Above and Beyond Award is given inlimited numbers and presented annually byeach state's ESGR committee.

In addition to this award, Munoz alsoreceived the Patriotic Employer Award fromESGR for her contributions to NationalSecurity and protecting liberty and freedomby supporting employee participation inAmerica's National Guard and Reserve force.

By Terri Moon CronkAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – Military spouses who need guidance oneducation and careers have a new online tool at their finger-tips, a program analyst for the Spouse Education and CareerOpportunities program, known as SECO, said in an interviewlast week.

“My Individual Career Plan,” or MyICP, allows spouses tobuild a virtual career roadmap based on their specific goalsand objectives, Lee McMahon said.

MyICP launched Jan. 10 on Military OneSource’sMySECO website, the primary access point for the DefenseDepartment’s Spouse Education and Career Opportunitiesprogram, McMahon said.

“SECO provides expert career and education guidance tomilitary spouses worldwide,” she explained, “supportingthem in four career lifecycle stages: career exploration, edu-cation, training and licensing, employment readiness, andcareer connections.”

The MyICP tool is available for all active-duty Army,

Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps spouses and to NationalGuard and Reserve spouses as well, McMahon said, notingthat it’s also open to spouses for up to 180 days after theirservice member separates or retires from the military. Spousesmust first register at https://myseco.militaryonesource.mil touse it. Surviving spouses of military members who died whileon active duty also are eligible.

To illustrate how MyICP works, McMahon used the exam-ple of a nursing student military spouse who has just movedto a new duty station and wants to see what opportunities existin the new area.

Licensing requirements are an issue for nurses, McMahonnotes. So once logged on and after clicking on “manage myindividual career plan,” the spouse would begin to build aMyICP by selecting “licensed” and “student.” Next, thespouse would go to the occupation page to find “nursing,”which would generate information from the LaborDepartment. The spouse would then select topics from the“challenges and growth opportunities” category. This catego-ry may include topics such as child care and relocation ortime-management skills.

The self-service wizard then produces a MyICP, McMahonsaid, which recommends activities to meet a person’s careerand education goals based on the selections made.

The Military Spouse Employment Partnership, a compo-nent of SECO, is composed of more than 200 companies andorganizations that have committed to hiring military spouses,she added, so MyICP also includes the ability for users to seewhich of MSEP’s partners might have jobs in the user’s occu-pation, and provides a link to check the company’s openingsin the chosen field.

McMahon encouraged all military spouses in search ofsuch opportunities to try the MyICP tool.

“We would love to hear their feedback,” she said, notingthat users can submit their input on the MySECO website byclicking on “SECO Satisfaction” or the feedback button.

Military spouses who have additional questions or needmore information about using the MyICP tool can callMilitary OneSource at 1-800-342-9647Call: 1-800-342-9647and speak to a SECO career counselor.
