The estimated completion date for the new RV lot is late August or early September but may be delayed due to weath- er. Meanwhile, the renovation on building 302 is scheduled to conclude in April of 2016, due to the extensive nature of the renovations, said Glenn Easterby, 628th Civil Engineer Squadron deputy base civil engineer. While building 302 undergoes renovation, several offices within the building have moved, or are scheduled to move, to different locations on base. "It's going to be somewhat disruptive at times, but we appreciate the cooperation of all the organizations affected by the changes and encourage everyone to keep in mind the end goal ... better mission facilities with less impact to our long term budget," said Easterby. Renovations to building 302 include, "An additional 1,200 square feet, which adds restrooms, a stairwell and an elevator, as well as repairing electrical, air conditioning and other key components," said Lanette Cook, 628th CES project manager. The building 302 renovations have displaced several offices ranging from education and human resources to inspector general and safety departments. Those offices have been, or will be, relocated to other facilities on base. "We are doing the best we can to maximize the facilities we already have in place because renting additional temporary space takes away from project scope and amenities," said Easterby. "We appreciate the willingness and patience of all the organizations affected." One of the first steps in the renovation process was moving the Weapons Station Pass and I.D office across the street to its brand new building. That facility held a ribbon cutting Feb. 21, 2014, alleviating a steady flow of traffic into the building 302 parking lot. Other offices that have been, or will be affected, by the construction and new locations for the offices are below: • Navy College Office, relocated to Bldg. 909, 3111 W. Old Tom Rd., moved July 11, 2014. 437th Aerial Port Squadron and Personal Property/Household Goods Office Weapons Station, relocated to Bldg. 36, 1000 Quality Cir, moved July 25, 2014, • Navy Reserve Officer Recruiter Station, relocated to Bldg. 36, 1000 Quality Cir., moved in April of this year. • Navy Passenger Transportation Office/SATO, relocated to Bldg. 36, 1000 Quality Cir., moved July 25, 2014. • Veterans Assistance Outreach Office Weapons Station, relocated to Bldg. 708, 1010 S.

When a new commander assumes command,Airmen may ask what the new commander's lead-ership style is like. The principles below are my personal leader-

ship philosophy, which I relate to the basics ofbuilding a home. I believe leading is somewhat like carpentry.

Through a carpenter's skill, he creates a homefrom interdependent materials. Similarly, a leadershapes followers, apprentices, leaders and mastercraftsmen. First, a solid structure begins below the founda-

tion, at the bedrock. The bedrock is the base onwhich everything rests; success is likely deter-mined at this point. Air Force Instruction 1-1, AirForce Standards, provides a great starting point. Although quite simple, I believe the Air Force

core values, Integrity, Service and Excellence,outlined in AFI 1-1, transcend all Air Force spe-cialties and personal backgrounds to provide afirm, solid footing. From this basic assumption, Ibelieve Airmen want a place of worth, doing theirbest while contributing to something bigger thanoneself. These core values provide a solid-base

layer on which to build; it also helps us thinktwice before doing or saying something. It's theleaders' responsibility to motivate, mentor andtrain Airmen to ensure they understand how theysupport Air Force mission accomplishment andoverall national security.Second, carpenters must build a strong founda-

tion-of-balance on solid bedrock. The success ofthis foundation stems from the balance of the mate-rials used; a good source of grade-A materials isprovided in the Air Force's four pillars ofComprehensive Airmen Fitness: mental, physical,social and spiritual strength. The materials of CAFare important, but success personally comes fromthe balance of them collectively, because withouteach of them, the structure would not be whole. In addition to the CAF pillars, my foundation

includes family and inner reflection. I believe bal-ance cannot occur without balance in family. Lifeis finite as is our time in this Air Force; familymakes our time on earth purposeful and enjoy-able. Nurture, cultivate and love time with family.

To be balanced you need inner-reflection.Time must be set aside to self-develop and self-critique. In order to lead people, you must leadyourself. This final component is often the hardestand requires much devotion.

Finally, eight personal-pillars guide me after Ibalance my foundation on secure bedrock. Thesepillars help me make an impact on those I meet.First, lead by setting high personal standards forsuccess; others will follow and emulate. Second,do not be afraid to change yourself in order tochange the organization. Third, dream big, dreambold and dream often. Fourth, inspire greatness inothers from finding it within yourself. Inspira-tional times motivate others and they often moti-vate me. Fifth, train, teach and mentor everyone,including yourself. Sixth, it's ok to say no some-times, especially in lean times; however, it's ofteneasier trying to get to say yes. Seventh, do whatyou love. Eight, have fun.I believe leading people is similar to how a car-

penter creates a house. Similar to a house, strongground provides a solid footing for leaders, and inmy case the bedrock is AFI 1-1, Air ForceStandards. A solid foundational balance, as out-lined in the Air Force's approach toComprehensive Airman Fitness provides me asturdy base to lead. Eight pillars offer my person-al direction. Finally, a house's worth is evident by the car-

penter's skill, learned from interactions over alifetime.

Leading with lumber

By Airman 1st Class Madison Sylvester319th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

As a young child, you don’t think much if someone doesn’t show upwhen they’re supposed to because you have better, more important thingsto worry about, like bugs and dolls. They’re just another shape flashingaround you in your own little world.Occasionally, a child will stop and ask a

question about the sky, their toys or where theirparent is. The answer always seems to be, “Ohhoney, they’re right over there,” and life goeson without a hitch.When I stopped playing one night in 1998

and asked the question, “Daddy, when isMommy coming home?” it brought everyonearound to a sudden halt. My father cleared histhroat and blinked a few times, obviously takenby surprise that his 3-year-old was asking thisquestion so early. He replied quietly, “Mommyisn’t coming home sweetie. She’s living withthe angels now.”My mother was killed in a head-on collision

March 24, 1997, as a result of drinking anddriving.That wasn’t the beginning of her relationship

with alcohol, however. Her decision to drivehome after drinking this night was not her firsttime doing so. It was a regular thing.Consumption of alcohol, or rather the inabilityto stop consuming it, had ruined my parents’relationship. Already in the process of divorce,they had been fighting that particular day overmy mother breaking into my grandparents’liquor cabinet.The attempt to lie was immediately wiped

away with the first glance of her, so she decided that she would leave.She tried to bring me along with her, but my father was able to wrestleme away. My dad wasn’t worried. He thought she would take a walkdown the street to calm down; he thought he had the keys. Little did heknow, she had a spare set made. Almost running him over in his attemptto stop her, she sped off.My father got remarried to a wonderful woman six months later

and because I didn’t understand, I didn’t act like anything was wrong.It wasn’t until I was five years old that I really, fully understood wheremy mom had gone. People had stopped sugarcoating things and tellingme that I was too young to get it.Never wanting to upset the woman I now called Mom, I waited until I

had my father alone to ask again, “Daddy, what really happened to

mommy?” Judging from the look on his face, he had thought he had sometime before any real explanations had to be given. I quickly apologizedseeing the distressed look and got up to rush to another room but hestopped me and said, “No, it’s okay, I just didn’t think I would have to dothis so soon… Your mother had a problem.”A problem. That’s what we hear today when someone invites alcohol

into their lives for too long. A problem. A mistake.What my mother had was not simply a problem; mymother had a disease. One that nobody cared todiagnose because that would mean their own failure.She would get sad and drink, she would get mad anddrink, and soon she had made any emotion anexcuse to drink. I grew older with conflicting imagesof her.“She was a wonderful mother; she loved you, so

full of life and laughter,” collided with “Your motherwas a liar, a cheater and a drunk.”Yes. I had a woman who married my father, gave

me a little sister, and took on the task of taking careof me too. But there was always a hole that couldn’tbe filled in me. I had questions that people felt tooguilty about to answer. Did I do something so wrongthat she needed to drink again? If she really lovedme, how could she be so careless? I was grievingyears after everyone else had moved on.However, I learned to deal with my own hurt and

turned it into understanding and proactivity. Mymother was not the only person to ever have alco-holism. I was not the only person ever to lose some-one this way, nor would I be the last. I would notallow myself to be a victim, but instead became anadvocate. The one thing that I took away from myown loss was that I never wanted anyone else to gothrough the same experience. My family brushed heraddiction under the rug because addictions are ugly,

they’re taboo, and deep down inside they didn’t want to admit that theirdaughter, sister and granddaughter wasn’t okay. But the truth of the mat-ter is that she wasn’t and others aren’t either.I urge you to help your wingmen. If you notice that their weekend fun

is turning into everyday fun, say something. If you suspect that they’rehaving hard times, say something. Even better than that, do something.Don’t let them get in that car after they’ve been drinking. We have somany resources that can help prevent the loss of another brother or sister-in-arms. Most people are not willing to look at their own reflection andsay “I have a problem. I need to stop.”Help them. Love them. Support them.This disease is long-standing in my lineage. I will be the one to end it.

Will you do the same with our Air Force family?

Airman 1st Class Madison Sylvester sharesthe story of how her first scar became herreason for never driving while under theinfluence of alcohol. Sylvester is a 319th AirBase Wing Public Affairs broadcaster.

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Seeingthe newly selected staff sergeants recently broughtback memories of when I was selected for staffsergeant.Actually, my thoughts went to the night I grad-

uated Airman Leadership School. As I crossed thestage after receiving my completion certificate,my co-workers gathered to congratulate me andshake my hand. My supervisor, Staff Sgt. ToddMitchell, stayed back at the table and as Iapproached he shook my hand and said, "I've gotyour back." I said, "Thank you," as I sat down.While cheering on my fellow graduates, I start-

ed thinking of what my supervisor said to me.What did he mean? I expected "Congratulations"or "You did awesome," but not "I've got yourback."The next morning at work, I immediately asked

my supervisor if we could talk. I asked him, "What did you mean last night

when you said, 'I've got your back?'" His responsewas surprising and informative. "Everyone has a specific role in our section,”

he said. “Before yesterday, your role was to mas-ter skills required as an Airman and a HealthService Management Apprentice. Today, your rolechanges to a frontline supervisor which includesresponsibility for others. My duties also changedtoday, I am now your first line of defense, mean-ing I've got your back."He explained, as tasks flow down from above,

I will always keep you informed and prepared tocomplete the mission. Also, leadership willalways be aware of what you and your Airmen areworking on and what requirements are being metand exceeded. Most importantly, you will makemany decisions affecting personnel on a personallevel as well as a professional level. Your Airmenwill not always agree with you and they willcome to me.“When this happens, I want you to know, I've

got your back,” he continued. “I will never ques-tion your decisions in front of subordinates andwill never ask you to change your mind on a deci-

sion as long as it upholds the values of the AirForce. I have to make sure your subordinatesunderstand you are the leader and will make thedecisions.”That single conversation made me a better

supervisor and leader. Throughout my entirecareer those words have been engraved in mymind. Mitchell was right that night. I didn't needthe usual congrats, good job or well done on mygraduation night. I needed to be reminded whatmy next step in my career was and what responsi-bilities lie ahead as an NCO. His words gave methe confidence in my abilities to be not only theNCO I was back then, but also the chief mastersergeant and leader I am today.I have stayed in touch with now retired Master

Sgt. Mitchell, for advice and mentoring. We stilltalk about that conversation and how he knewexactly what I needed to hear that day. Hereminded me as I, in turn, remind you, "Those welead need to know they have leaders who willstand behind them through the good and the bad."Today, I challenge all of you to let your subor-

dinates know you have their back.

Story and photos by Michael Dukes315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Eighteen chaplain candidates visited Joint Base Charleston,S.C., home of the Air Force's premiere airlifter - the C-17Globemaster III. While they toured the C-17 July 28, 2014, reservists from

the 300th Airlift Squadron, 315th Aeromedical EvacuationSquadron explained to the young lieutenants the capabilities ofthe aircraft as well as their specialty's mission (i.e. loadmaster,pilot and flight nurse or aeromedical technician.)The group also visited other key mission partners at Joint

Base Charleston, including the 628th Security Forces MilitaryWorking Dog section, the combined 628th and 315thExplosive Ordinance Disposal section. The Air Force Chaplain Candidate Program allows semi-

nary and other professional religious school students to evalu-ate their compatibility and potential for commissioning as anAir Force Chaplain.The focus is on experiencing ministry in the Air Force dur-

ing a summer tour of active duty. Upon entering the program,individuals are commissioned as a chaplain candidate, in thegrade of Second Lieutenant. After graduation and obtaining anecclesiastical endorsement, candidates are then eligible forreappointment as a chaplain in either, the U.S. Air ForceReserve, the Air National Guard or placed on active duty.

By Damian Wexler,Freelance Health Reporter

Recently, alternative medicine expert Bryce Wylde, a frequent guest on the

Dr. Oz show, revealed a simple secret that amazed millions who su�er with digestion nightmares. And people haven’t stopped talking about it since.

“I’d give anything to make it stop!”

!at’s what most people will tell you when asked about their digestive problems. “It’s just horrible says Ralph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was tortured for years by my Acid-Re"ux. Sometimes I’d almost pass out from the pain. My wife su�ers with digestion problems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.”

FDA Warns About Popular Antacids

A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Especially in people over the age of 50.

So when alternative medicine expert Bryce Wylde discussed an alternative on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to #nd out they could #nally get relief without having to rely on Prevecid®, Nexium®, Prilosec® and other dangerous proton pump inhibitors. But now, according to Wylde, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract. It’s as simple as that!

Finally There’s Hope...At #rst, the thought of drinking aloe vera

might make some people back away. But in fact, this delicious “digestion cocktail” is doing amazing things for people who su�er with stomach problems --- even if they’ve had them for years. Here’s how it works…

Stop Stomach AgonyYour stomach naturally produces acid so

strong, it can dissolve an aluminum spoon in just 30 minutes! And when excess acid escapes into your esophagus, throat and stomach lining, it unleashes the scorching pain of Acid-Re"ux, heartburn, ulcers and more misery. Add the problems of stress, and “all heck breaks loose.”

Dr. Liza Leal, a well known expert on chronic pain management explains... “!e AloeCure® can work genuine miracles. It bu�ers high acid levels

with amazing speed. So your stomach feels completely at ease just moments after drinking it.” In fact, it could wipe out stomach pain, discomfort, and frantic runs to the bathroom.

Until Now, Little Could Be Done...

But “AloeCure® can help virtually anyone. Even people with chronic stomach pain can feel better right away,” says Dr. Leal. And what’s really exciting is AloeCure® aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy, so intestinal distress stops coming back.

As Ralph Burns goes on to say, “I know AloeCure® never claimed to be a substitute for drug store products and is only meant to be a helpful supplement. Now though, AloeCure® is the only product I need for all my digestion issues”

Francisco DeWeever, a Certi#ed Nutritional Mi-croscopist, “My patients report their IBS, Crohn’s, Colitis, Constipation, Acid-Re"ux and a host of other digestive problems have all but disappeared.”

After conducting an unpaid investigation about AloeCure® claims and success stories, Bryce Wylde commented that pure Aloe Vera extract like AloeCure® may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health.

heartburn, acid-re!ux, constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and other stomach problems go away fast

“Try �is Simple Trick to Defeat

Almost Any Digestion Problem Instantly”

Doctor Oz Show Guest Says:

Sexual assault victims can contact the near-est Special Victims’ Counsel (SVC) office viathe Base Legal office to ask questions aboutthe SVC Program and request an SVC. Theycan also request an SVC through their localSexual Assault Response Coordinator(SARC) or Family Advocacy Program (FAP).SVCs will serve as a victim’s personal attor-ney at Air Force expense. SVCs are activeduty judge advocates (JAG) whose sole role

is to represent victims in a confidential, attor-ney-client relationship, throughout the inves-tigation and prosecution processes. EachSVC’s chain of command runs through theAir Force Legal Operations Agency inWashington, DC. This independence meansthat no one in a victim’s chain of command orthe chain of command of the perpetrator willinfluence an SVC’s representation of theirclients.

Burnout. The very expression seems to makeus feel exhausted, doesn’t it? In this high-speed,overworked military, most of us have felt the tir-ing numbness of burnout. Sometimes we simplyneed to retreat, to get away from the routine andseek rest. But if you are like me, you may havefeelings of guilt when you relax; always think-ing you haven’t done enough to fulfill your obli-gations whether at work or at home. And, when

you do get away, the return trip makes you feellike you need to have another break to recoverfrom the vacation that was just taken! Perhapssomething is missing. Perhaps we need morethan just rest. We need food and nourishment forour souls. In my experience, the antidote toburnout includes receiving strength from devo-tional reading and prayer, regaining purpose,focusing on the positive, cutting off drainingrelationships, expressing gratitude, exercisingmore, and serving others.

The antidote to burnout
