It has been an honor to serve with each of you, andculminating my career as the 628th Air Base Wing com-mand chief has been the pinnacle of my assignments inthe Air Force. When I began my career 23 years ago, Ihad no idea it would take me here, but I'm extremelyhappy that it did. I've had countless mentors, supervi-sors, commanders, first sergeants, chiefs, coworkers andfriends who have all made a difference in my life, and Ihoped I made a difference in theirs and lived up to theirexpectations. I would especially like to thank Col. John"Red" Millander, Col. John Wood and Col. MarthaMeeker, the three wing commanders whom all allowedme to serve as a command chief.
Throughout my career, my family has been at mybeside sharing in the successes and making sacrificesbehind the scenes, and I can't thank them enough as wellfor helping me understand why what the men andwomen in the Air Force do every day is so important.They kept me focused and always happy to serve ourgreat nation.
Finally, it would have been impossible for me to serve asa command chief without a great executive assistant. Thethree Airmen who expertly fulfilled this role during mytime at Charleston did an amazing job at making sure I was
informed, prepared, where I needed to be and always readyto serve Team Charleston. I can never thank Tech. Sgt. DinaMaldonado from the 437th Operations Support Squadron,
Tech. Sgt. Allen Foster from the 437th maintenanceSquadron and Staff Sgt. Laci Brokaw from the 628th med-ical Group enough for their dedication, candor, attention todetail and outstanding service.
I owe any success I've enjoyed to the Airmen whohelped along the way, and to everyone, thank you for thesupport and for serving our country. To all, best wishes!

Airlift Dispatch • September 17, 2010 3COMMENTARY
By Lt. Col. R. Craig Burton
Joint Base Charleston Staff Judge Advocate
Years ago, I had a boss who was acutely aware ofeverything that was occuring in the office, put in longhours and united the workers like I had never beforeexperienced. She was also the worst boss I've ever had.She was aware of what was happening around the officebecause she held innumerable meetings and micro-man-aged all of her subordinates. She worked long hours notbecause there was important work to be done, but so hersuperiors could see she was in the office and she unitedus as subordinates because we had to pull together to sup-port each other just to make it through the day. What wasclear from the first day she arrived in the office was thatthe office's mission would be for her to be promotedwithin the organization. If we happened to do our jobseffectively in the process, that was just a bonus.
Years later I had a boss who was not completely unlikethe boss mentioned above. She was aware of what wewere doing in the office, she worked hard, often workedlong hours and united the office. But she knew what wasgoing on in the office because if we told her about our
projects or our concerns we knew she would help us withthem. She worked hard because she wanted the office andher superiors to be successful. She united the office andpulled us together because we all had a sincere desire toimpress her and wanted her to be pleased with our work.
The difference between the two bosses was simple:one cared about herself, the other cared about the peopleshe served and the mission we supported.
So why are those differences in motives and percep-tions important? The mission, at least initially, wasaccomplished in both offices. But, workers in the firstoffice soon became disenchanted with the boss, theorganization and the mission. Productivity slowed andpotential leaders left to get different jobs. In the secondoffice, productivity, job satisfaction and a sincere sense ofduty to the overall mission increased. Perhaps mostimportantly, subordinates saw what a true leader was, andit inspired us to be like her, to remain in the organizationshe served and to do our best to serve it as well.
Nearly all of us are leaders, at least to some extent. Ifwe don't genuinely care for our subordinates, co-workersand the mission, people will know it. But perhaps mostimportantly, their performance and potential to lead will
eventually reflect our motives. In fact, leaders don't haveto voice their motives; they don't have to be patentlyobvious in promoting their perspectives - those who fol-low them will soon know whether they are working forsomeone who is self-promoting, unit-promoting or mis-sion-promoting.
We all know that for short periods we can accomplishthe mission in spite of leadership. Subordinates bandtogether and fight to get the job done regardless of theimpediments raining down upon them. But we as leaders,civilian or military, enlisted or officer, also know that inthe long term, missions are truly successful and exceedexpected outcomes when unit cohesiveness and pride arebrought about through a truly inspirational leader weadmire, are loyal to and want to be more like.
I'm glad to be in Charleston where I've worked for andwith leaders who make me want to help them accomplishthe mission and to do so for the good of this base and ournation. As for me, I constantly remind myself of the les-sons I gleaned from the experiences discussed above,hoping to better emulate the second boss and to ridmyself of any proclivity to emulate the first. We'll seehow that goes.
Service or Self? The difference is important
By Gen. Stephen R. Lorenz
Air Education and Training Command
commander
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE,
Texas – I have gained a wealth of knowl-edge during my career, but one pointremains at the top of the list ... love yourpeople.
Through Lorenz on Leadership articlesand presentations, I have shared countlesspersonal stories. While they always havedifferent themes, one constant is the won-derful examples and lessons from people Ihave met. Our Airmen are priceless. Theyare what make our Air Force the mostpowerful in the world.
Loving your people is a personal tenetI fervently believe in and live to upholdeach day. It is core to my passion anddrive as a member of the armed forcesand is an essential trait for leaders. Ourmilitary force's diverse makeup of ser-vicemembers and their families are them-selves powerful reminders of the specialcharge we have been given as leaders inservice to our country.
A humbling example of this is the storyof Bradley and Sara Sullivan. Eighteenmonths ago Brad, a captain, was prepar-
ing for his first deployment as an F-16Fighting Falcon pilot. Amidst the flurry ofpre-deployment activities, his familyreceived two life-changing announce-ments. First, he and his wife were preg-nant with their first child. Second, Sarawas diagnosed with an aggressive form ofbreast cancer at the age of 28.
Following a number of difficult choic-es, Brad and Sara moved to San Antonioto begin her chemotherapy, which wouldallow Sara to stave off cancer and stillallow normal growth of their baby. Totheir delight, treatment went as planned.However, during the third trimester thepregnancy became increasingly complicat-ed due to the effects of the chemotherapy,and Sara was placed on bed rest. On Sept.8, 2009, Brad and Sara welcomed theirdaughter Chloe Grace into their family.
But their struggles were not over. Lessthan two weeks after Chloe was born,Brad and Sara were back in the hospital.Sara had suffered a massive stroke,thought to be a result of the physical ail-ments her body received from pregnancyand chemo. Within days of her return toWilford Hall Medical Center, Sara was onlife support and declared brain dead. Shepassed away shortly thereafter.
One of the many constants that contin-ue to sustain Captain Sullivan is the com-munity and network of unit leadership,friends and family at Randolph Air ForceBase. You see, Brad and Sara were warm-ly welcomed into a unit that acceptedthem unconditionally and lovingly metevery challenge with them as a family.
From the day of Sara's first hospitaliza-tion, their family was never alone asfriends and family regularly visited. Therewas an even greater outpouring of supportwhen Sara passed away. Now, as Chloefast approaches her first birthday, Bradand his daughter are gifted daily withwords of support, meals, and anythingelse required to help them walk in theirnew life. When difficult decisions had tobe made after Sara's passing, Brad had afamily liaison officer present or a memberof unit leadership who was fully preparedto present him with all options for hisfamily. All of this is a result of a cultureof community, one that begins within ourAir Force and reaches out to every mem-ber of our families.
Critical to loving your people is know-ing them. Not just what they do or theirreputation at work, but genuinely know-ing them. As leaders and peers, we must
invest the time to determine what movesand motivates those around us. It is essen-tial we know names of spouses and chil-dren. It is also imperative we understandthe perspectives our people share. Wemust see the view an individual maintainsof the world around them. This dictates aninvestment of time spent with them tohear their stories and life experiences.This stands to strengthen the bond youshare with fellow Airmen and allows youto lead effectively.
Inevitably the investment we make inour people is returned. Oftentimes thereturn comes at a time of crisis, as in thestory of Captain Sullivan. It is during thistime that we owe it to those around us tofocus centrally on what is in the bestinterest of the member affected.
Loving your Airmen is not a catchphrase, nor does it mean passively askingsomeone how their day is going. Rather,it is an active process, an investment onthe part of leaders and fellow Airmen.You never know when you are going tomake a difference, so never pass up anopportunity to reach out to those aroundyou and invest in their lives. Trust me, itis an investment that will pay dividendsfor the rest of your life.
Lorenz on Leadership -- Love your people

When do I PT Test?
Clearly, there is a lot of focus on physical fitness right now. With all the changes in Air Force Instruction 36-2905, Air
Force Fitness Program, the incidental regulation changes aresometimes overlooked. For example, there has been a signifi-cant change in the AFI 36-2301, which covers ProfessionalMilitary Education.
The item I want to highlight is the requirement that allattendees must have a passing current fitness assessmentbefore they are allowed to attend. It also states your FA mustremain current through the duration of PME.
Another situation where your prescribed testing months canchange is deployment. Tour lengths and location requirementswill dictate if a test must be administered before you deploy.This is to ensure that you have a current FA throughout yourdeployment. Again, this means you could test earlier than youoriginally planned.
These are just two examples I've heard recently, but aschanges are published in other AFIs there may be otherinstances in the future.
This just reiterates that we need to be physically ready, nomatter when our test is "supposed to" be administered.
DIAMOND TIPSBy 2nd Lt. Tony Richardson
20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. –
Responsible consumption of alcohol is an impor-tant message that we are constantly sending toAirmen. One death is too many deaths. One acci-dent is too many accidents. However, I think weneed to redefine the term "responsible."
Underage drinking has been an issue for societyfor awhile now. This is also true within our ranks.However, I'm not simply referring to the number ofpeople who show up on the security forces blotter.
I'm talking about those 18 to 20-year-old Airmenwho believe that they are being "responsible" bydrinking off base at a friend's house. I'm talkingabout those 18-20 year-old Airmen who believe thatthey are being "responsible" because they stay intheir rooms at the dorms to avoid being caught. I'mtalking about the "enablers" who purchase the alco-
hol for minors and permit these behaviors to occur.Let's be clear -- underage drinking is a crime and
should be prosecuted as such. The same thing goesfor those who provide alcohol to minors or createthe atmosphere to allow the crime to occur.
The fact that you did not get caught does notmean you are being responsible. Your life, yourcareer and the lives of others are all at stake eachtime you make the wrong choice. No sip of alcoholis worth risking those precious things.
Do the right thing, especially when no one islooking. Ensure that your organizations, peers andsubordinates are creating a culture that emphasizesthe responsible consumption of alcohol.
Use the 0-0-1-3-W concept as a guideline: zerodrinks if you are underage, zero drinks if you aredriving, one drink per hour, three drinks maximumand always have a wingman.
The safety and security of our nation dependsheavily upon the choices we make. (AFNS)

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – During the month ofSeptember, Tricare officials continue their strong commit-ment to the battle against childhood obesity. By observing
Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, Tricare representa-tives are active participants in the Let's Move! program formilitary kids.
The national Let's Move! program works to combat theepidemic of childhood obesity through engaging every sectorimpacting a child's health. It provides schools, families andcommunities simple tools to help kids be more active, eatbetter and get healthy.
Tricare's web page at www.tricare.mil/getfit serves as the'headquarters' for beneficiaries looking for resources on child-hood obesity. The page highlights ongoing efforts to raiseawareness of childhood obesity and encourages children to eatright and exercise. It has links to informational websites andgames emphasizing good nutrition and fitness for kids.
Officials with the Let's Move! campaign report that overthe past three decades, childhood obesity rates in Americahave tripled, and today, nearly one in three children inAmerica is overweight or obese. What is more shocking, onethird of all children born in 2000 or later, will suffer from dia-betes at some point in their lives. Many others will facechronic obesity-related health problems like heart disease,high blood pressure, cancer and asthma.
Tricare health specialists know it is not easy battling obe-sity. Weight loss occurs when calories consumed are less thancalories burned. If children -- or adults -- consume more calo-ries than they are burning, there is a good chance they willgain weight.
Decreasing calorie consumption and increasing physicalactivity to burn more calories than consumed is the simple"recipe" for weight loss. For someone obese, staying com-mitted to changing his or her diet may not be simple.Physicians and experts are in agreement that battling obesityinvolves a commitment to healthy eating habits and regularexercise. Having a support system is also very important.
Early and appropriate intervention is valuable. Teachingchildren ways to make healthy eating choices at a young agecan bring benefits for a lifetime. Military personnel, retireesand their families can utilize the support from the DefenseCommissary Agency. The DeCA website at www.commis-aries.com provides dietary advice columns, recipes and infor-mation on making healthy food choices. The "MyPyramid"tool at www.mypyramind.gov from the AgricultureDepartment assists by creating a personalized eating sched-ule and physical activity plan.
For exercise and activities, check with schools for a list ofprograms. Also, military Morale, Welfare and Recreationcenters offer activities from team sports like basketball andbaseball, to music, dance, martial arts, gymnastics, swim-ming, ice skating and more. MWR youth services has some-thing for everyone. Beneficiaries should check with the near-est installation for more information.

Finding the time to volunteer in the localcommunity while at home can be challeng-ing, but finding the time to volunteer whiledeployed, almost impossible.
Members of the 15th Airlift Squadron,who are currently deployed to the TransitCenter at Manas, Kyrgyzstan are finding thetime and ways to give back to the countrythey are calling home for more than 120 daysthis year.
Senior Airman Thomas Farmer, a memberof the 437th Operations Support Squadronwho volunteered to deploy with the 15 ASand is the president of the First 4 Council atthe Transit Center, along with other membersof his squadron, recently had the opportunityto visit the Birdkik School and the BishkekSchool for the Deaf, where during these vis-its the Airmen socialize with the children andthe school administrators, share stories overmeals and play sports.
How do opportunities like this comeabout?
"We found out about this when we werein-processing and it was briefed to us duringour Right Start brief," said Master Sgt. MarkHarrison, who was the designated trip leader.
Wing leadership at the Transit Center cre-ated a network called the Theater SecurityCooperation, said Airman Farmer. The pur-pose of the network is to build a partnershipcapacity with the local Kyrgyz leadership.
"One method of building a partnershipcapacity is to provide much needed humani-tarian assistance to local villages, schools and
orphanages," said Airman Farmer. After the group returned from their visit, it
was Airman Farmer's job to put together atrip report.
"Within 24 hours of the visit, a trip reportis submitted to the TSC leadership to includeactivities, observations and requests suppliedby the school," he said. "The trip reports areused by the TSC to submit proposals to thegeneral officers who decide on the funding oflarge humanitarian assistance projects."
On the wish list for the schools; it's mapsand English textbooks for the BirdkikSchool, while the Bishkek School for theDeaf is looking for beds, dining tables, bath-room renovations and an updated play-ground, to name a few items.
It was through another volunteer effortthat Airman Farmer realized how much theschools appreciated the assistance.
"I saw how lives of the children, andthrough them, entire communities could bedrastically changed through simply meetingwith our local Kyrgyz partners and writing areport," he said. "There is money waiting tobe used for renovations of schools, commu-nity centers and orphanages."
While the current flying schedules make itdifficult for aircrew members to volunteer forassistance trips, Airman Farmer and SergeantHarrison have been able to work with othertrip leaders to reserve spots for aircrew mem-bers.

When it comes to finding ways to keepJoint Base Charleston "green" it's safe tosay the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron herewill find ways to make it happen.
The newest project to go green at JBCHS involves Induction lighting as the wayahead.
"What we are doing is changing outexisting mercury vapor or high pressuresodium fixtures and installing inductionfixtures in their place," said JeffreyMorgan, energy program manager for the628 CES.
By replacing the existing fixtures withinduction lighting, the 628 CES will be ableto reduce the wattage of the old fixtures byhalf, while still being able to maintain thesame level of light output.
Another bonus by switching to inductionlighting is the extended lifespan of thebulbs.
The lifespan for induction lighting iseight to 10 years as opposed to the four tofive year lifespan with what is currentlyinstalled, said Mr. Morgan.
Bottom line, by installing inductionlighting across the base, Joint BaseCharleston should see a savings of 380 mil-lion British Thermal Units, or $297,000 a
year in energy savings.So far, more than 621 light fixtures
around the base have been refitted withnew, energy saving, induction lighting.
This comes on the back of the 2008 to2009 project called Operation Change Out- Military Challenge, which was the basesfirst lighting initiative.
The goal of the program was to changeout the incandescent bulbs in base housingand the dormitories with compact fluores-cent bulbs.
"We achieved a pledge of 2,417 bulbschanged out in a year's time," said Mr.Morgan. "What we did, was change out 40watt and 60 watt incandescent bulbs withtheir equivalent compact fluorescentbulbs."
We saved an estimated $33,000 a year,which was the energy savings cost associat-ed with this operation, said Mr. Morgan.
Want to know what is up next on the listof lighting projects?
"We are looking at replacing all of thestreet lighting, from Hill Boulevard to theflightline and all the branch out streets withinduction lighting" said Mr. Morgan."Right now this is still in the design phase."
If everything goes according to plan andfunding is approved, construction shouldbegin during the Fiscal Year 11-12 timeframe.

Charleston Airmen - from Page 6team to an orphanage in the town of Nizhanchuiskoe, where they delivered a van full of
donated goods to include clothing, shoes and school supplies," said Airman Farmer.Another effort resulted in Master Sgt. Terry Wright, 16th Airlift Squadron loadmaster and
Capt. Timothy Cox, a 15 AS pilot being able to attend a luncheon with a group of Babushkas,also known in the Manas community as grandmothers.
These examples are just a few of the outstanding volunteer efforts Charleston Airmen arefinding the time to do.
"We have a busy schedule here but several others from the 15 AS have volunteered,whether it be with on base support for upcoming trips or going on the trips themselves," saidSergeant Harrison. "This is huge here and is on everyone's scope. Airmen from all units in thewing here are out volunteering with the Manas Air Base Outreach Society on a weekly basis,it is actually hard at times to get on the trips because they fill up so fast."
With the squadron just a little more than half way through their deployment, it's clear theseAirmen have worked hard to leave their footprints in the local surrounding communities.
"It is a pretty amazing feeling to be able to help, especially at a deployed location," saidSergeant Harrison. "The locals here see it as our commitment to the area and our supportmeans a lot when they see we are willing to take the step beyond our daily work and assistthem to help make the area a better place than when we arrived."

Airlift Dispatch • September 17, 201014 AROUND THE AIR FORCEPresident Obama reaches out
to veteransWASHINGTON – President Barack
Obama said he wants to make sure veteransand current service members who were invol-untarily retained in the military under the so-called "Stop Loss" program get the retroactivepay they deserve.
"You served with honor," President Obamasaid. "You did your duty. And when yourcountry called on you again, you did yourduty again. Now, it's time to collect the specialpay that you deserve."
Servicemembers who were involuntarilyextended or whose retirement was suspendedbetween Sept. 30, 2009, and Sept. 11, 2001,are entitled to a retroactive payment of $500for each month of extension. The applicationdeadline is Oct. 21.
Information on the special pay and links tothe application are available at www.defense.gov/stoploss.
About 58,000 of 145,000 eligible claimshave been paid, and $219 million has beendisbursed of the $534 million appropriated,Defense Department officials said.
While tens of thousands of veteransalready have received retroactive pay averag-ing nearly $4,000 each, the president saidmany others may be reluctant to apply.
"I know there's been some confusion andskepticism out there," he said. "Some veterans
think this is some sort of gimmick or scam, orthat it's a way for the government to call youback to service. Nothing could be further fromthe truth.
"As your commander in chief," PresidentObama continued, "I'm here to tell you thatthis is no gimmick or trick. You worked hard.You earned this money. It doesn't matterwhether you were active or reserve, whetheryou're a veteran who experienced 'Stop Loss,'or the survivor of a servicemember who did.If your service was extended, you're eligible."
The military services are promoting theretroactive pay through direct mail, veteranand service organizations, websites, phonelines, print and broadcast media. The presi-dent's message underscores the effort tospread the word.
"Share this video among your fellow veter-ans," the president said. "Help us get our 'StopLoss' veterans the pay to which they're enti-tled. Help us make sure that America is serv-ing our veterans, and your families, as well asyou've served us." (AFNS)
USAFE commander assesses
future strategy at AFAWASHINGTON – The U.S. Air Forces in
Europe commander focused on the way aheadduring his address at the 2010 Air ForceAssociation Air and Space Conference andTechnology Exposition here Sept 14.
"Our relationship with our European alliesremains the cornerstone for U.S. engagementwith the world and a catalyst for internationalaction," said Gen. Roger A. Brady.
Referencing the U.S. National SecurityStrategy signed by the president in May,General Brady left no doubt about the U.S.'scommitment to its European allies.
"The renewed commitment to deterrenceand prevention called for in the NationalSecurity Strategy can only be accomplishedwith a continued U.S. presence," the generalsaid.
The general added that the daily interactionwith host nation forces builds interoperabilityand relationships that are key to a quickresponse in crisis.
As an example of the significance of per-manently stationed forces of all services in thenational strategy, he highlighted the impact ofthe North Atlantic Treaty Organization as amajor component of success in Afghanistan.
As of August, more than 39,000 of the morethan 119,000 troops serving in Afghanistan arefrom NATO and our European allies, GeneralBrady said. This also means 39,000 fewerAmericans are in harm's way.
European ally involvement in Afghanistanover the last nine years is a direct result of theU.S. relationship with European allies, both inand outside of NATO, he added.
Europe's geographical location alonemakes it important in providing access to
other areas of the world, General Brady said.USAFE bases allow the U.S. to project powermore rapidly than if forces were to come sole-ly from the U.S. This reduces reaction time tothreats, and is a vital part of U.S. efforts inSouthwest Asia.
For the past few months, half of the U.S.fighter aircraft in Southwest Asia were fromUSAFE, the general said. In addition, thecommand provides critical operating basesand staging locations for past and currentoperations in theater.
Reduced access to or operations fromEuropean bases would make such future oper-ations much more difficult, if not impossible,he said. The general expressed confidence inthe national strategy.
"To deter foes and make ourselves resilientin an uncertain future, we must nurture andstrengthen the viability of those relationshipsthat have yielded success in the past and con-tinue to develop those capabilities that willallow us to not just survive, but win those sce-narios," he said. (AFNS)
Constitution commemoration
falls in line with AF birthdayWASHINGTON – "I ... solemnly swear
that I will support and defend the Constitutionof the United States against all enemies, for-eign and domestic," are words from the enlist-ment oath that every Airman has sworn to oneor more times.
As the Air Force marks its 63rd year Sept.18, the Department of Defense commemo-rates the signing of the Constitution withConstitution Day and Citizenship Day onSept. 17.
"Celebrating both Constitution Day andCitizenship Day is a perfect opportunity tohighlight the outstanding efforts of our totalforce Airmen and reflect on the purpose of ourmilitary," said Air Force Secretary Michael B.Donley. "Every individual supporting our AirForce and our nation should stand proudknowing that what they do directly upholdsAmerican citizens' 'inalienable rights' andshows other nations the way to greater free-doms for their own people."
For more than two centuries, this foundingdocument reflects the Air Force's core valuesand preserves the truths set forth in theDeclaration of Independence.
For activities and education on this com-memoration, the DOD has a website athttp://constitutionday.cpms.osd.mil/ that con-tains information about the Constitution andU.S. history.
As required by Public Law 108-447, allfederal agencies are to provide education andtraining to all civilian employees. (AFNS)

Prepositioning ship United States Naval Ship Sodermanreceived more than 2,000 pieces of equipment over a 10-dayperiod at Naval Weapons Station Charleston Sept. 7 throughSept. 17.
The on-load included HUMVEEs, armored vehicles, gen-erators and ambulances that will be available for militaryuses. Prepositioning ships support all military branches aswell as the Defense Logistics Agency to ensure rapid avail-ability of equipment during times of crisis.
"We have been preparing for this mission for about twomonths," said Lt. Cmdr. Brian Mowery, 841st ArmyTransportation Battalion deputy commander. "Loading theArmy Prepositioning Stock equipment on to the LargeMedium Speed Roll-on/Roll-off vessel, USNS Soderman, isone of the largest operations we deal with here at theweapons station."
NWS Charleston crew members worked tirelessly along-side the 841st Transportation Battalion, Army StrategicLogistics Activity Charleston, Maritime Sealift Commandand various contracting partners.
"Teamwork is essential for this type of operation. Weunderstand that the mission is important and we have to getthe ship loaded and out on time. Everyone really came
together to make this happen," said Lt. Colonel InesWhite, 841st Transportation Battalion commander."Without one piece of the puzzle we could not completethe whole picture."
The ships allow the military the capability to receiveneeded equipment in a timely manner in order to respondquickly to any emergency. They provide quick move-ment of military gear between operating areas withoutrelying on other nation's modes of transportation.
"It is critical that we do not have to rely on the infra-structure support of other nations to deliver the equipmentto our troops," said Lieutenant Commander Mowery.
After the on-load the USNS Soderman will set sail andanchor in the Western Pacific, where the ship will stay formore than two years, switching out the crew every fourmonths.
"So far everything has gone according to plan--we areright on track and moving along quite smoothly," saidChris Spain, ship's Master of the USNS Soderman.
Once the ship's two and half year tour is completed, itwill return to port where the equipment onboard willreceive maintenance and upgrades, or will be replacedwith completely different gear before returning to sea. Theequipment, like many things, has a life-cycle that may needto be repaired from rust or any damage before it can be used.
There are currently more than 25 prepositioning ships dis-tributed among the branches of the military, strategically
placed around the world. "We are right on schedule and I am really pleased with all
that hard work that is going into this operation," said BobO'Brien, the general manager of ASLAC. "I don't think wecould have been as successful as we are right now if it was-n't for all the teamwork we have."

Senior Airman Katie Gieratz is a member of the 628th AirBase Wing Public Affairs office and has been stationed atJoint Base Charleston for three years. She is currently servingin the Middle East with the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing onher first deployment.
In her deployed unit, Airman Gieratz works as a photogra-pher, who is responsible for documenting the mission, high-lighting Airmen and being available to document any damagedone to government property.
"A lot of things we do here are not unlike our duties athome station," said Airman Gieratz. "I've covered everythingfrom alert jobs and coin presentations to distinguished visi-tors in the area of responsibility."
While stationed at Joint Base Charleston, Airman Gieratzworks as a photographer for Joint Base Charleston. She doc-uments all aspects of the mission for historic and archivalpurposes, as well as publication in the base paper and AirForce websites.
"The living arrangements here are obviously a lot differentthan being home in Charleston," said Airman Gieratz. "Iknow that it could be a lot worse so I'm making the best of
my deployment and trying to experience new things. Here Iget to show Airmen in a different light, which is exciting forme."
This "warrior of the week" hails from Altus, Ok., andenlisted in the Air Force in January 2007.
"I have enjoyed my time in the Air Force," Airman Gieratzsaid. "I've always like interacting with people and with myjob I meet new people every day. People like to see them-selves in print or on the web, and it gives them an easy wayto send stuff home to families to show what they are doing."
Currently, Airman Gieratz's goal is to obtain her degree inpsychology and work with children. Aside from workingtoward her degree, Airman Gieratz loves to work out at thegym and cook.
"Airman Gieratz is great at what she does and is able to putanyone at ease on the other side of the camera lens," saidMaster Sgt. Cindy Dorfner, 379 AEW Public Affairs non-commissioned officer in charge. "From a group of chief mas-ter sergeants hamming it up for the camera to a four-star gen-eral, to maintainers on the flightline, she finds a way to get theshot she needs. I'm constantly getting letters of appreciation in her name. I love having Airman Gieratz in our office."
