By Rear Adm. Rick Snyder Director, 21st Century Sailor Office WASHINGTON – Suicide affects everyone, and suicide prevention is an all hands effort – all of the time. We can make a difference through our everyday actions. In September, we join the global community to highlight suicide prevention. Last September, we focused on what we can do as commu- nities to support and help our shipmates. This year, we’ll zero in on what we can do as individuals, on a daily basis, to con- tinue that support. The 2014 Navy Suicide Prevention Month theme is “Every Sailor, Every Day.” We are encouraging every member of our Navy team, from shipmates, to leaders, to civilian employees, to family and friends, to set a positive example, reach out and engage with one another. Building resilience and preventing suicide require all of us to actively communicate with each other, and not just when we think someone is in immediate danger. Everyday actions, that foster trust and build meaning- ful connections, can start or continue conversations so we can more effectively intervene when we see signs of a shipmate in distress. By actively communicating and staying engaged, we may be more likely to notice small signs of distress in our ship- mates and intervene early, before a crisis occurs. I challenge you to be there for Every Sailor, Every Day, through meaningful, intentional actions. Take time to ask oth- ers how they are doing—and actively listen. As Vice Adm.

By Lt. Col. Chris KarnsSecretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON – As a child, a close relative of mine committed suicide.In those days, mental health was only discussed in hushed tones and littlesupport was available. I was shaped by this experience and in my militarycareer, I have tried to create an environment where people feel comfortablediscussing their problems and supported in their efforts to seek professionalhelp. In fact, I consider this to be leadership responsibility.As a squadron commander, I felt part of leadership was knowing the
Airmen and creating an environment of trust and support. As an Air WarCollege student, I saw an opportunity to further research mental health andthe increased role leadership and communication needs to play in defeatingmental health stigma.Recently, comic genius, renowned actor and USO veteran Robin Williams
committed suicide. While this event was tragic, there are lessons to belearned. It helped people recognize that even some who seem to have it allstruggle from time to time and need professional help.Immediately after Williams’ death, a dialogue started. The related mental
health dialogue needs to be sustained, especially in the military.Since 2001, suicide rates across the Department of Defense have trended
upward. Whether in the military or in society, there exists a need to over-come any perceived stigma associated with mental health treatment. The mil-itary culture celebrates and promotes strength and a warrior identity. Tomany, seeking help erroneously implies vulnerability. While the Air Forcepromotes help-seeking behavior, a perceived stigma associated with mentalhealth treatment still exists.Interestingly, in a 2011 Air Force study, a high percentage of Airmen
responded that it would somewhat to absolutely impact their willingness toseek care if co-workers would look down on them. This signals there is stillwork to be done. Eliminating stigma requires dialogue, a continual leader-ship emphasis, and positive examples of those benefiting from treatment.While September marks Suicide Prevention Month, attention and discus-
sion on this important subject needs to extend beyond a designated month,especially in times of manpower reductions and when more is expected ofAirmen and families. Leaders have a responsibility to actively recognize thestress being placed on Airmen and families and work to regularly understandand educate them on help-seeking programs and encourage help-seekingbehavior.While improvement has occurred in overcoming stigma, several studies
still reflect concern over a perceived stigma associated with seeking mentalhealth treatment. Potential force reductions and career uncertainty run therisk of deterring Airmen from seeking mental health services. Therefore, AirForce behavioral health advocacy, communications and educational cam-paigns implemented by leaders at all levels need to gain the necessary confi-dence of Airmen to lessen the stigma associated with mental health servicesand reinforce a culture of trust and support.Statistically, mental health issues are more common than one may think.
According to Harvard Health Publications, a national survey reported that“about 6 percent of employees experience symptoms of depression in anygiven year.” Moreover, Harvard medical experts claim that “anxiety disor-ders affect about 6 percent of the population at some point in life, but typi-cally go undiagnosed for five to 10 years.” Considering stressors faced bythe military, one can assume the percentage of service members sufferingfrom depression is greater than the civil sector.
The leader’s communication roleWhile emphasizing the individual’s personal role and responsibility in
resiliency is important, more needs to be done to develop an interactiveapproach to overcome stigma. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the leader toestablish the right organizational culture and support to enable dialogue tooccur. A leadership narrative that normalizes mental health treatment chal-lenges needs to be developed.According to congressional testimony, a large percentage of Air Force sui-
cides involve relationship problems of some kind. Since relationships matter,leaders should strongly encourage family involvement in commander’s callsand help them understand mission demands and the Air Force’s supportstructure. Additional avenues of support can advance the discussion.
In an Air Force study, chaplains rated top marks from Airmen as a trustedsource. As such, partnering with the chaplaincy can help as well as examplesof Airmen and families overcoming a mental health issue. Stories aboutmental health treatment benefits need to be told. Leaders at all levels shouldtake advantage of existing educational programs such as the Patriot SupportProgram’s anti-stigma campaign to aid their education efforts and efforts todefeat stigma.
Leadership messagesDuring times of uncertainty, mental health services should be actively
communicated and encouraged. In a RAND Corporation study, perceivedimpact to career was listed as one of the top five barriers for neglecting toseek mental health care. Overcoming the stigma and career impact percep-tion is the ultimate leadership challenge.Peer group opinions and attitudes are another area requiring leadership
focus. To defeat stigma, peer-group education is required to enhance accept-ance and dispel myths. Multiple voices, especially by leadership, are requiredto dispel myths concerning career impact. Leaders also need to check, and ifnecessary, adjust their own attitudes toward Airmen seeking help.
EducationIn addition to the Air Force’s holistic approach to wellness, overcoming
stigma should be a primary focus of commander’s calls and in Air Forceeducation efforts. Consistently promoting or normalizing mental health serv-ices by commanders at all levels requires more than occasional statementsthat getting help should be considered a sign of character strength instead ofa weakness. Stigma needs to be a stronger focus area as well as creatingerroneous stereotypes.
Advocacy and engagementThe Army achieved success when retired Gen. Peter Chiarelli served as the
vice chief of staff. For Chiarelli, the responsibility to defeat stigma was notmerely positional, but also personal. He led a 15-month study on the subjectand wrote a book on the issue. He provided an honest assessment of cultureand “the lost art of leadership” as central to the issue. Where Chiarelli suc-ceeded was in the number of soldiers willingly seeking care. He made progresstoward normalizing treatment. He generated regular public dialogue on thesubject. He made winning this battle personal. In turn, he was effective.Real people who share stories of hope and recovery are required.
Celebrate wounded warriors who may have benefitted from treatment. Havethem lead the effort to generate dialogue in order to reduce stigma. Developand brand mental health strength conditioning and performance enhancementprograms. Similar to sports psychology, discuss mental health in the contextof achieving one’s full potential. For instance, highly-selective organizationssuch as Air Force Special Operations Command have recognized the merit,permanently assigning psychologists within elite units to enhance the per-formance of Airmen. The relationship between mental health and Airmen canbe more than crisis support.Leaders can speak openly to Airmen and families through all communica-
tion channels. Social media stimulates dialogue, enables connections to bemade, and helps those suffering understand they are not alone. People needto feel connected. Establish a network and database of people available toshare stories and provide support. Focus on relationship issues, financialadvice and stigma-busting stories of hope. Increase public stories of realAirman with real examples of discovery, recovery and success after receiv-ing treatment. Airmen and families need to see other institutions that valuestrength seeking help. Discover what educational programs may exist withinpolice departments, fire departments or even professional sports. Developtraining specific to overcoming stigma, and ensure its integration at eachlevel of professional military education and also within the DOD dependentschool system. This will enhance Airman and family understanding, andreduce stigma for future generations.When a percentage of Airmen still believe a stigma is attached to mental
health services, seeking help becomes less of a choice and more of a per-ceived risk. Ultimately, success rests with leadership’s ability to expandcommunication, education, and ensures a culture of trust exists.When people are comfortable, and they recognize the leader understands
and cares for them, then stigma will decline. The time to end the mentalhealth stigma is now. All leaders have a moral responsibility to get this right.Lives depend on it.

Why? Why is the favorite word of every child. When a
young child asks why, it'scurious, it's genuine and it'san innocent honest question. Mommy, why is the grass
green? Mommy, why do apples
grow on trees? Daddy, why does that dog
sniff that other dog's butt?Funny how dads always
get the really tough ques-tions. What is also funny isat some point as we growolder we quit asking why inthe voice of a child. Whygets edgy and it gets brazen... it cut like a razor and theblade is attitude. So whathappened? Is that the pointwe lost our innocence ... when we started to see theworld through cynical lenses?I believe Socrates hit the nail square on the head
when he said, "An honest man is always a child."So as an honest man I simply ask, why? Whymaybe a little too vague so let me give you twopossible answers: Option 1: Why what? Or option 2: freaking magic. While "freaking magic" is my absolute favorite
answer to difficult or vague questions and one I useevery day with my kids, it is a dodge, so let's runwith why what? I will be a little more specific ...why is education important? When I ask this question I usually hear the
usual, "college is pathway to a better life, to a goodjob, to get promoted, to be competitive in the jobmarket and or to make more money." Yeah, yeah,yeah, I got all those ... and I don't mean that in aderogatory sense. College is a means to an ends and many of those
reasons are the end result of college.But, what if I love my job as a crew chief or med
tech? What if I don't care about getting promoted
or am content with how much money I make? Whyshould I continue to pursue education?I have been asking this question for almost 30
years. After high school I pretended to go to col-lege for three years until one day I got a letter from
the Dean saying if I wanted tocontinue to donate to his institu-tion, I needed to meet with himand explain why he should keeptaking my money. That's notexactly what the letter said; it wasmore along the lines of my sub-standard academic performanceand attendance record did notmeet the schools high expecta-tions of academic excellence,yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, I nevermet with the Dean ... I turned tothe Air Force. I thought I wouldnever suffer thru another collegeclass again. I even turned downenrollment in the GI Bill while atbasic training. Fortunately, when I was as staff
sergeant, I met Chief Master Sgt. John Randall andhe lit a fire under my hind parts in a way that onlya Chief can. At the same time the AF wrote enlistedoff-duty education expectations into the PFE (thepredecessor to the PDG - AF Pamphlet 36-2241)and the little brown book (AFI 36-2618 "TheEnlisted Force Structure"). Since that point, I have taken plenty of college
courses and have a ridiculous number of credithours with a couple pieces of paper to prove it.This didn't mean I generically agreed with AirForce guidance. All it really proved is that I am apretty good Airman and can follow orders. Well,after asking why for 30 years, 27 wearing an AirForce uniform, I believe I have found the answer tothe question why.Aristotle said, "The mark of an educated mind is
to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."Education give us the opportunity to climb
inside somebody else's brain, to root around a little,try on different thoughts and ideas, and if they fit,keep them. If they don't fit, leave them for the nextperson ... at a minimum, education allows us toentertain an idea before we dismiss it. Through the
process of introducing ourselves to new ideas,challenging old ideas, and contemplating the realmof possibility, chances are pretty good we will walkaway with something new ... we will broaden ourhorizons.There are many ways to receive a world class
education. In addition to taking classes, you canread books, take adult learning courses, read pro-fessional journals, attend seminars and/or travel todifferent places and learn about the local customsand history. At the end of the day, I don't care if youwalk away with a 4.0 and I don't care if you everearn a piece of paper ... I just want you to learn ...to be smarter today than you were yesterday. Why?I believe Sir William Francis Butler said it per-
fectly when he said, "The nation that makes a greatdistinction between its scholars and its warriorswill have its thinking done by cowards and itsfighting done by fools." Let me say that again a lit-tle slower ... "The nation that makes a great distinc-tion between its scholars and its warriors will haveits thinking done by cowards and its fighting doneby fools."Airmen are deployed all over the world in
harm's way. Our mission, Fly, Fight, and Win, is adouble edged sword that swings mercilessly inboth directions. What we do is both highly techni-cal and exceptionally dangerous. We engage in adaily high wire routine that demands exceptionalintelligence, skill and courage from every Airman.Why is education important? We have room for
neither cowards nor fools in the Air Force. Socratesalso said "I am the wisest man alive, for I know onething, and that is that I know nothing." If we (you and I) ask the question why, to learn
all the things we do not know, honestly, just like achild, I am absolutely certain we will be smartertomorrow than we are today. We will engage ourbrains to tackle complex problems long before weengage our brawn. When called upon, we (the mil-itary) will find the smartest and the safest possibleway to execute our mission. We will avoid non-hostile casualties and we will bring home fewerflag draped coffins ... we will preserve more livesthan we take ... and that my friends, is my answerto the question why.
Ask ‘why’ and be smarter tomorrow

“The supreme quality forleadership is unquestion-ably integrity. Without it, noreal success is possible...”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Mobility Airmen,The men and women of
18th Air Force, Air MobilityCommand and the Air Forceserve our nation on the foun-dation of our core values;integrity, service and excel-lence.Those who have come
before us have taught us there is no replacement for virtue,character, dignity and respect. This holds true for today'sAirmen as well, and if we choose to accept a lesser standard,we do so at the risk of tarnishing our image in the face of thenation. If we fail, the reputation of all who serve is tarnished.

cessfully performing the mission on a global scale. I ask youto lead boldly and accept nothing less than impeccable moralcourage.Have the strength of character to step up and do the right
things even in the most difficult situations. Ultimatel y youare accountable not only for your actions, but also for failingto take action when necessary. Our legacy of excellence isbuilt on an adherence to exacting standards and we will notaccept anything less.
ChallengeIntegrity, Service and Excellence carry special meaning for
all of us and we share these values with the great warriors andpublic servants of the past. I challenge each of you to reaffirmyour commitment to our core values by finding new ways tolive these values each and every day.This reaffirmation will strengthen the trust between
Airmen, and our commitment to one another.

maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle across physical, mental, social and spiritualdomains. Individuals practicing comprehensive fitness are more likely to seek help when need-ed and be able to identify risk factors and warning signs when an individual is off balance."Prevention begins with each individual working to strengthen and maintain their overall
well-being across all CAF domains, as well as being able to identify when thers need help. Agood Wingman offers help knowing what resources are available, and follows up to stand bytheir side throughout a challenge," said Lt. Col. Kathleen Crimmins, Air Force SuicidePrevention manager. "Assisting Airmen to get help... whether peer or professional, is what aWingman does."A number of resources are available to include the Air Force Suicide Prevention website,
the Airman's Guide for Assisting Personnel in Distress, the Military Crisis Line by calling 1-800-273-8255, press 1, text 838255, or go online to chat at www.militarycrisisline.net, withaccess to peer counselors in person and through online chats and text messaging.You can also find help by contacting your local agencies who make up the installation
Integrated Delivery System.In addition to the crisis phone line, help is also available through the Vets4Warriors peer
support chat line at 855-838-8255 or online at www.vets4warriors.com. This line will connectan individual with veteran peers who understand the unique challenges of military life andassist with problem solving and resolution.Family members, retirees, and veterans can also use these resources for themselves if they
feel the need to speak with someone.According to Crimmins, Air Force mental health clinics reported an increase in the number
of visits annually over the last few years which are positive results of the Air Force's effort toremove the perceived stigma of seeking help. Leaders at all levels must continue to promoteand encourage individuals to seek support agencies and clinician services as a normal step inmaintaining a good work and life balance.Early resolution of stress helps Airmen maintain a balanced lifestyle, which in turn allows
them to withstand, recover and grow in the face of adversity."We can all make a difference by helping our Wingmen understand they are not alone," said
Crimmins. "Sharing our stories and highlighting our own personal resilience and perseverancewill let others know their Air Force family is behind them and those needing help are not alone."For more information and resources, visit the Air Force Suicide Prevention website at
www.airforcemedicine.af.mil/suicideprevention.CALL TO ACTION: One of the most effective ways to promote the 24/7/365 approach to
suicide prevention is for Airmen, their families or friends to step forward and share their ownexperiences of how they recognized they needed help and sought out support and resources.Perhaps your resilience was tested in some way; or someone close to you had their resiliencechallenged and you reached out to them. We want to hear your stories of resilience encour-aging others to seek treatment and understand what resources are there to help. Please contactyour local Public Affairs office to coordinate sharing your story.

By Tech.Sgt. Jason Gilbert628th Medical Operations SquadronMental Health flight chief
According to data from the Departmentof Defense, suicide is the second leadingcause of death for U.S. military personnel,surpassed only by unintentional injury. Awareness of suicide and the risk factors
associated with suicide are vital to the pre-vention of such loss of life and its traumaticconsequences for our families and our com-munities. How do we know when someone is in
significant distress? A misconception issuicide occurs with little or no warning,when in fact there are often many cluessomeone may be in distress or at risk. Themost commonly associated factor with sui-cide in the Air Force are problems in inti-mate relationships, including marital anddating relationships. Other high risk factors include abuse of
alcohol or other substances, financial andlegal problems, few social ties or loneli-ness, prolonged unmanageable stress andfeelings of depression or worthlessness. Another misconception about suicide is
that those who talk about suicide will notdo it. A key signal of distress is obsessingor talking about death, dying and violenceas well as purchasing firearms or otherweapons. Withdrawing from friends andfamily or suddenly making amends withothers, sudden changes in behavior, loss ofinterest in work or usual activities and giv-ing away possessions are also possiblesigns.
What can we do to help? There is abelief that if we talk about suicide withsomeone, it will give that person the ideato harm themselves, or there is nothing wecan do to change their mind. But in fact,talking with someone directly about sui-cide is among one of the most helpfulthings you can do. Most people contem-plating suicide are seeking an end to theemotional pain they are experiencing, notan end to life. Talking may open doors toassistance to help them through their dis-tress. The key to suicide prevention is early
intervention. Seeking assistance for our-selves and encouraging others to do thesame when having difficulty coping helpsprevent more serious problems fromdeveloping. Joint Base Charleston offers numerous
sources of assistance including the MentalHealth Clinic, Chaplains, FamilyAdvocacy Programs, Airman and FamilyReadiness Center and/or Fleet and FamilySupport Center, supervisors. If seriouswarning signs are present, includingthreats of suicide with a plan, do not leavethe person alone. Call 911 or seek emer-gency services immediately. The prevention of suicide lies with
everyone within our JB Charleston com-munity. Reaching out to one another buildsstrong communities and families and ulti-mately saves lives. If you would like more information on
services/classes provided, contact theMental Health Clinic at 963-6852 and ourstaff would be happy to assist you.

In all cases, it is important to know you didnot cause the sexual assault. Sexual assault is an act of violence, intimi-
dation, and control. No one ever "deserves" tobe sexually assaulted. There must be consent. After being sexually assaulted, you may
have questions such as, “Will I ever feel safeagain?” Slowly but surely you will begin to feel
that your life is regaining focus. You willbegin to enjoy the sounds of nature again andthey will seem less intrusive. Laughter willnot be so foreign and even though you mayoccasionally shed tears, they will have acleansing effect, carrying you closer to thatplace of healing. Remember healing takes time with appro-
priate support and intervention and you willbegin to notice changes in your daily activi-ties. At those times, it will be important toremember that life is lived one moment at atime. You are no longer a victim, but a sur-vivor on the path to healing … inside and out. Don’t forget your advocate is standing by
to assist you with acquiring the appropriatefollow-up services and may also accompanyyou to your appointments. Your advocate hasreceived specialized training and has anawareness of some things you may be think-ing or feeling. Although, they do not provideclinical counseling, they may be a soundingboard for decisions you are facing as a resultof the assault. Little miracles still happen, it’s okay to cry,
laughter is contagious, give the world the bene-fit of your thoughts. Let your laughter be heard.
Moving beyond a sexual assault: the healing process
By Lt. Cmdr. Jon SettlemoirNaval Consolidated Brig Charleston chaplain
Vince Lombardi once said: “The quality of aperson’s life is in direct proportion to their com-mitment to excellence, regardless of their cho-sen field of endeavor.”Do you think that’s true? Can you improve
the quality of your life just by making a com-mitment to do everything with excellence? Ibelieve you can.
If you will make the daily decision to do whatis right and to do it to the best of your ability,you’ll find that not only will people notice, butyour own attitude and demeanor will improve.Some days it’s easy to coast and just do the min-imum required to get by, but doing that oncewill make it easier to do it again and again, andpretty soon you’ve developed a pattern of justgetting by. Instead, make a commitment to doyour work with pride every day, even if you feellike you are underappreciated and over tasked.
A commitment to excellence

As the new school year begins, many summer activities arecoming to an end. The pools will soon close and the countlesshours of free time have also ended. School children now willspend a large portion of their day in the classroom and behinda desk exercising their brains. It is important during these longschool days that there is a focus on activity and good eatinghabits to help tackle the growing problem of childhood obesity.According to the Centers of Disease Control and
Prevention (Childhood Obesity Facts, 2014), 17 percent ofchildren in the United States between the ages of 2 and 17 areobese. A child's growing body is greatly impacted by obesity.Children with obesity are at risk for having high blood pres-sure and high cholesterol putting them at greater risk for car-diovascular disease in adulthood. They also have an increasedrisk of Type 2 diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea and joint pains.In addition, obese children also have a greater risk of social
and psychological problems to include low self-esteem.(Basics about Childhood Obesity, 2012).There are many ways to tackle and prevent obesity in child-
hood starting with both, healthy eating and physical activity.It is recommended that children get at least one hour of phys-ical activity a day. This can take place during recess or schoolgym class, but can also happen once they get home fromschool. Sporting activities are another great way to get exer-cise. If nothing else, a long family walk or bike ride is a greatmethod to both be active and to spend some quality time withthe family which often has increasingly busy schedules. Whenit comes to activities, try to be creative and think outside thebox. One example is to sign up for a walk/run fundraiserwhich will allow for activity and also benefit a good cause. With the growing popularity of video games and computers
in our culture, getting out and exercising has become difficultfor the young children and adolescents. It is recommendedthat parents limit their child's "screen time" to include tv, com-puters, tablets and video games to two hours a day. Limiting
this time encourages them to be more physically active. Good eating habits also have an impact on obesity. Home
cooked meals and low frequency of quick and fast food mealswill help. When cooking at home, using the oven or grill arehealthier options than frying foods. Also ensure lean meats,such as chicken, turkey or fish, are used as often as possibleto eliminate some higher cholesterol and fatty meats such aspork and beef. Find ways to incorporate five servings of fruitsand vegetables into the families' diet will help decrease obesi-ty in the family.Childhood obesity can be a thing of the past if some of
these simple tools are used. Remember the 5-2-1 rule; fivefruits and vegetables a day, no more than two hours of screentime, and at least one hour of exercise a day will help battlethe growing problem with childhood obesity in American.
