Tyndall Air Force Base | Gulf Defender Friday, June 19, 2015 Career Intermission Program application window opens July 1 By Debbie Gildea Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) — The Air Force Career Intermission Program application window opens July 1 for eligible Airmen interested in taking one to three years off active duty for personal or professional needs. Applications must reach the Air Force Personnel Center no later than Aug. 31, with the total force selection panel scheduled to convene Sept. 29. The program, in its second year, allows up to 40 top-performing regular Air Force and career status Active Guard or Reserve officers and enlisted members to be inactivated and transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve, receiving partial pay for up to three years, before returning to active duty. During the 2014 pilot program, 35 regular Air Force, Guard and Reserve Airmen were approved to participate. They included 33 regular Air Force, one Guard and one Reserve airman. The 35 selected included 15 officers and 20 enlisted personnel; 18 women and 17 men. The Career Intermission Program allows participants to retain full medical and dental benefits for themselves and their dependents, as well as exchange and commissary benefits. Participants also receive a stipend of 1/15th of their monthly basic pay. In addition, mem- bers will be allowed an Air Force-funded permanent change of station move to anywhere in the U.S. when entering the program, and a move to their base of assignment when they complete the program. Return to duty following a Career Intermission Program intermission is the key to the program. Top performers with bright futures won’t have to separate to take care of personal or other professional concerns, and once they return to active-duty service, those airmen will bring greater experience, education, knowledge, commitment and passion to their career, said Col. Arch Bruns the AFPC Personnel Services director. While participating in Career Intermission Program, airmen will be required to maintain all Air Force standards, including health and fitness and be ready to fully resume their duties. Airmen approved for CIP will incur a service commitment of two months for every one month of CIP participation. General information and complete eligibility criteria are available on the myPers website. Select the appropriate component and corps from the drop down menu and enter “Career Intermission Program” in the search window. Links to component specific application procedures will be available July 1. For more information about Air Force personnel programs go to myPers.

Woodson said he agrees with commission’s recommendation to reform the TRICARE military health plan, and told the panel that work is already underway. Surgeons general share concerns The surgeons general said that while they support the objectives of the commission’s findings, they have concerns about elements that threaten readiness and military medical skills. “(Fewer than) one of five service members evacuated from Iraq and were injured in battle,” Horoho noted. “During Operation United Assistance, the major threat to soldiers was endemic infectious diseases. The Army already uses joint infrastructures … (for) medical readiness. The Army does not support establishing a fourstar readiness command,” a commission recommendation and a point echoed by Ediger and Faison. Though the surgeons general support affordable health care and increased choices for patients, “to establish TRICARE choice would negatively impact the readiness of our entire health care team and present financial challenges for active-duty families and retirees” Horoho said. “To put (military treatment facilities) in competition with the private sector would drive up administrative costs and significantly detract from the operational mission of our medical facilities,” Ediger agreed. The Air Force surgeon general said requiring airmen and their families to “navigate a complex system of insurance marketplace on a recurring basis” could increase their stress. “(The Military Health System) is working hard to recapture its (patient) workload into the direct- care system,” Faison said, adding that offering commercial insurance to military patients would compete with that goal. “Nonactive-duty beneficiaries comprise 67 percent of our total beneficiary population, 83 percent of our inpatient care and 79 percent of our highacuity workload,” Horoho emphasized. Military medical training would be affected “These patients are vital to sustain our graduate medical and health professionals’ education programs,” she said. “The loss of these inpatients from our direct health-care system would pose tremendous risk to our training and negatively impact our medical forces readiness posture.” Ediger and Faison agreed that the lack of military patients would harm medical training and affect overall readiness. “We believe resilient families with excellent health care support great- ly enhances the resilience of all of our airmen,” Ediger said. “Significant progress in the (Military Health System), as Dr. Woodson pointed out, has occurred. And we are a progressive system of health and readiness as a result.” “We need to recognize what sets us apart from civilian medicine: that we are a rapidly deployable, fully integrated medical system,” Faison said. “This allows us to support combat casualty care with unprecedented battlefield survival rates.” “The Army needs a medically ready force,” Horoho said, with Ediger and Faison in agreement. “Commanders need to know … soldiers will be ready to deploy,” she added. “When wounded soldiers hear the rotor blades of a medevac helicopter, they need to continue to have confidence that our providers are trained and ready,” Horoho said. “Any radical departure presents significant risk to a system that has produced record levels of both combat casualty survival and readiness.” Tyndall Air Force Base Friday, June 19, 2015 Gulf Defender | Free hunter safety course offered in Leon County The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is offering a free hunter safety course in Leon County.

(AFNS) — Each June, a congressional health education program is promoted to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. Screenings, health fairs, media appearances and other health education activities are held to raise awareness for male health concerns. The increased visibility of Men’s Health Month encourages men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury. One main problem among males is their reluctance to see medical professionals. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, American men are 25 percent less likely than their female counterparts to visit a doctor. “For whatever reason, men in general just do not go to the doctor as often as women,” said Capt. Amanda Killinger, a 19th Aerospace Medicine Squadron flight surgeon. “Men shouldn’t hesitate to get checked out.” “Prevention is much easier than treatment,” Killinger said. “Take prostate cancer as an example. It is treatable, but if a man doesn’t get diagnosed early, things have the potential to get much worse. Routine checkups are vital when it comes to one’s health.” According to the Center for Disease Control, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, after lung cancer. Along with regular doctor visits, there are multiple other things that men can do in order to prevent disease and stay healthy. Exercise and healthy eating play a key role in developing and maintaining good health. Base fitness centers might provide various classes to help both men and women get or stay in shape. Additionally, some base health and wellness centers hold healthy cooking classes and provide nutritious recipes. Eating healthy is a great way to combat heart disease, which is also common in American men. Being overstressed can also lead to a multitude of health problems. Eating right, exercising and getting sleep is proven to reduce stress. Medical treatment facilities or clinics can offer sleep hygiene and relaxation classes that can help remedy or treat sleep problems. Smoking can also cause health complications. For those who are interested in quitting, the HAWC often offers smoking cessation classes. Though June and Men’s Health Month will come to an end, men should remember to focus on their health year round with the goal of living longer and happier lives.

Tyndall Air Force Base Friday, June 19, 2015 Gulf Defender | 325th Fighter Wing Safety offers summer safety tips By Airman 1st Class Solomon Cook 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE — Summer is upon us, and as with all seasons, airmen should use situational awareness with new weather conditions. With the increased heat and various holidays that generally call for fun in the sun, it is important to be aware of high temperatures, heat-related risk with outdoor activity, safety tips and local seasonal animal behaviors. “The Air Force will sustain a large majority of its mishaps during the summer, between May and September when members are off-duty,” said Staff Sgt. Lee Elam, 325th Fighter Wing Safety ground safety technician. “This time of the year personnel will need to take more precautions when out enjoying their favorite activities. Off-duty mishaps make up the largest majority of reportable incidents because personnel once off duty tend to take fewer precautions when enjoying their time off. “ It is easy to remember safety when on-duty because personnel are always briefed to take the steps necessary to protect themselves from getting hurt. Some of the same steps that you would take while completing your regular job would be the same steps you need to take while offduty, Lee added. When outside for long periods of time, one of the most important things to remember is hydration and sun protection. In 2011, 587 people died from exposure to excessive heat, according to National Health Statistics Reports website. It is important to protect yourself by wearing light-weight and light -colored clothing, taking frequent water breaks, wearing sunscreen and not leaving children or animals unattended in a vehicle. Residents of Tyndall should be aware of the local animal behaviors and be cautious as well. “The biggest animal safety risk that can be encountered on Tyndall is the black bear,” Elam said. “Black bears mostly move around at night, scavenging food from the dumpsters and trash cans. If someone stumbles onto a bear, they should not approach the bear. Try to make yourself as big as possible and make loud noises.” For additional information on black bears contact the local natural resource office at 283-2822, Elam said. Although weather and nature may play a part in summer safety, some safety risks are manmade. “Fireworks safety is a very important topic of discussion during the height of summer because of their extremely hazardous potential,” Elam said. “The National Fire Protection Association estimates 17,000 fires occur and 1,800 people are injured each year in fire- works related mishaps.” A few firework safety tips are as follows: • Don’t let children play with fireworks. • Only use fireworks in a wide open area that does not allow for falling embers to reach the ground and catch anything on fire. • Check the local state laws as certain states do not allow for air burst fireworks to be used by anyone other than a trained professional. • Never shoot fireworks at anyone or anything; fireworks burns on average of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit which is hot enough to melt some metals. • Please remember the use and/or storage of fireworks on Tyndall Air Force Base is strictly prohibited unless approved in writ- ing by the Mission Support Group Commander. Additionally, with the summer months come barbecues. “First and foremost ,keep the grill clean and free from built up grease. This goes for both propane and charcoal grills,” Elam said. “It is important to keep grills away from any materials that can catch fire, such as the home and garbage cans. Additionally, keep children and pets away from grills. Never leave a grill unattended. For more information visit the National Fire Protection Association website,” Elam said. For summer safety tips and more information, contact the ground safety office at 283-4231.

The All-Air Force team received more than 100 submissions, but only 40 airmen were selected to try-out. Senior Airman Cody Sullivan, 325th Logistics Readiness Squadron central storage technician, was one of the elite to be selected. “I felt extremely honored that I was able to try out for the team because it was one of my main goals this year,” Sullivan said. “Ever since I found out about the program, I worked hard to get the chance to prove myself on the soccer field; and it paid off.” During try-outs, participants began doing drills at 5 a.m. They completed three sessions of training capped with a full 90-minute game at the end of the day. “All of the training in such a little amount of time takes a toll on your body,” Sullivan said. “After the third day, everyone felt as if they had been there for two weeks because of how tired our bodies were.” Sullivan experienced tough competition. By the third day, there had to be cuts made to the team, and no one was guaranteed a spot. “Try-outs for the first three days were, in all honesty, grueling,” Sullivan said. “The first cuts were made at the end of the third day so everyone knew that we had to show up as best as we could during try-outs to make sure we weren’t let go.” At the end of the day, the opportunity for Sullivan was a good one. He was able to reconnect with old teammates from past soccer teams and do what he loves.

The All-Air Force team received more than 100 submissions, but only the elite were selected. chosen to be a member of the team. “Making the team and getting a decent amount of playing time were the two goals I set for myself at camp, and I achieved them both,” he said. After making the team, Sullivan played in the AllArmed Forces tournament competing against the U.S. Marine, U.S. Navy and U.S. Army soccer teams. According to the Armed Forces Sports website, the Air Force soccer team placed second during the Armed Forces Soccer Championship held at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif. “Overall, this is a great experience for any athlete wishing to compete on a different level than intramurals and baselevel teams,” Sullivan said. “I encourage anyone with a passion for a sport to apply for the program, because it’s an indescribable feeling being able to represent the Air Force. There are people with work constraints and deployments who would do anything to be able to participate, so for those of you that do have the opportunity, be grateful for this amazing chance and know that you’re not just playing for yourself; you’re playing for everyone who can’t be there as well.” An Independently Owned and Operated Member of BRER Affiliates LLC Tyndall Air Force Base By Jessica Rouse Defense Commissary Agency Public Affairs chicken, peanut butter and beans • Soups: beef stew, chili, chicken noodle, turkey or rice • Condiments: tomato-based sauces, light soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, salad dressing or oils • Snacks: individually packed snacks, crackers, trail mix, dried fruit, granola and cereal bars, pretzels, and sandwich crackers • Multigrain cereal • 100 percent juice: all sizes, including juice boxes • Grains: brown and white rice, oatmeal, bulgur, quinoa, couscous, pasta, and macaroni and cheese • Paper products and household items: paper towels, napkins and cleaning supplies • Hygiene items: diapers, deodorants (men and women), feminine products, toilet paper, tissues, soap, toothpaste and shampoo “We want to make a difference in the communities surrounding our stores,” Eller said. “And our patrons and employees help us do that.” This year, no goals have been set, but DOD is urging participants to do their best to top their past donations.

During the campaign, participating installations help collect items most needed by food pantries and then donate them to area food banks. “This marks our sixth consecutive year participating in this campaign, and what could be better than helping provide food for those in need around us,” said Randy Eller, the Defense Commissary Agency’s (DeCA) deputy director of logistics. Last year, DeCA collected almost 1 million pounds of food donated at commissaries and given to area food banks. That represented 30 percent of the Defense Department’s total Feds Feed Families’ donations. Many stores featured donation packages provided by commissary vendors for patrons to purchase and donate on the spot. “2014 was a great campaign year for us,” Eller said. “Our customers should be really proud — a large number of people were helped.” Since the campaign’s inception in 2009, more than 24 million pounds of food have been donated. Once the items have been collected, installation officials will work with their commissary to deliver the items to their local food bank. The most needed items for donations include: • Canned vegetables: low sodium, no salt • Canned fruits: in light syrup or its own juices proteins: tuna, salmon, • Canned Veteran Owned and Operated.
