BY JIM GARAMONEAMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - While the Ko-reanWar ended just about where itstarted, “that war was no tie,” Pres-ident Barack Obama said recently.“Korea was a victory.”

The president spoke at thecommemoration of the 60th anni-versary of the armistice ending theKorean War. He said the 60-yearremove from the warmakes it clearthat the war, which claimed morethan 36,000 American lives, was avictory for freedom.

“When 50 million South Kore-ans live in freedom, in a vibrantdemocracy, one of the world’smost dynamic economies, in starkcontrast to the repression and pov-erty of the North, that is a victoryand that is your legacy,” Obamatold the Korean War vets who satamong the audience of 5,000.

And U.S. service members con-tinue the mission – because the ar-mistice didn’t end the KoreanWar,it just stopped the shooting. Morethan 28,000 Americans are on thepeninsula today to guarantee thatif the North again tries to step overthe 38th Parallel, the world willstand against them.

“For generations to come, whenhistory recalls how free nationsbanded together in a long ColdWar and how we won that war, letit be said that Korea was the firstbattle, where freedom held itsground and free peoples refusedto yield,” the president said.

The president spoke of thelegacy of the Korean War and ofits veterans. “Korea taught us theperils when we fail to prepare,”he said. He noted that the troopssent to fight in Korea in the earlydays were under-equipped andunder-trained.

“Today, as we end a decade ofwar and reorient our forces for thefuture, as we make hard choicesat home, our allies and adversar-ies must know the United Stateswill maintain the strongest mili-tary the world has ever known,bar none, always,” he said. “Thatis what we do.”

While President Harry S. Tru-man integrated the military in1948, it wasn’t until the pressureof war in Korea that integration

actually occurred. “Korea taughtus that as a people we are strongerwhen we stand as one,” Obamasaid. “On President Truman’s or-ders, our troops served together inintegrated units.

“The heroism of African-Americans in Korea and Latinosand Asian-Americans and NativeAmericans advanced the idea, ifthese Americans could live andwork together over there, surelywe could do the same thing here

at home,” the president continued.And the war has lessons for to-

day’s veterans, Obama noted.“Korea reminds us that when

we send our troops into battle, theydeserve the support and gratitudeof the American people, especiallywhen they come home,” he said.“Today let us remember that.”

With American troops fight-ing and dying in Afghanistan, theAmerican people must welcomethem home, and make it “our mis-

sion to give them the respect andthe care and the opportunities thatthey have earned,” he said.

The president urged all Ameri-cans to simply listen to KoreanWar veterans – most now in their80s. “Listen and hear how theseAmericans faced down their fearsand did their duty, clutching theirrifles, hearing the bugles in thedistance, knowing that waves ofenemy fighters would soon beupon them; in ships offshore,climbing down the ropes into thelanding craft, knowing some ofthem would not leave that beach;on the tarmacs and flight decks,taking off in Corsairs and Sabres,knowing that they might not re-turn,” he said.

Americans need to listen to thetales of gallantry amid some of themost brutal combat in moderntimes, the president said. Ameri-cans need to know how their fel-low citizens “held the line at thePusan perimeter, how they landedat Incheon and turned the tideof the war, how surrounded andfreezing they battled their way outof Chosin Reservoir, and how theyfought foxhole by foxhole, moun-tain after mountain, day and nightat the Punchbowl and HeartbreakRidge, Old Baldy and Pork ChopHill,” he said.

America owes much to the vet-erans of the Korean War, Obamasaid, and he spoke directly tothem. “In the spring of youryouth, you learned how shortand precious life can be,” he said.“Because of you, millions of peo-ple can keep on living it in free-dom and in peace. Your lives arean inspiration. Your service willnever be forgotten. You have thethanks of a grateful nation, andyour shining deeds will live nowand forever.”

RETIREE ACTIVITIES

OFFICE

WASHINGTON - RetiredSenior Master Sgt. JohnNeves, a familiar face ofAir Force retiree activitiesin the National Capital Re-gion (NCR) for more than20 years, died July 21 at hishome in Springfield, Va. Hewas 81.

Neves retired from ac-tive duty in 1976 with 26years of service. Assign-ments included tours inVietnam, Germany andGreenland. He once servedas director of the RetireeActivities Office (RAO) atJoint Base Anacostia-Bol-ling (JBAB), in addition to

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Recent com-ments on social media sites show there’s adiscussion among Airmen that the abdomi-nal circumference component of the FitnessAssessment is where the largest majority offailures come from. This opinion is wrong.

Since the Air Force has adopted the pol-icy, which automatically fails Airmen with alarger than 39 inch waist (males) and 35.5inch waist (females), the abdominal circum-ference measurement has led to the secondleast failures of the four components -- aer-obic, push-ups, sit-ups, and abdominal cir-cumference.

The numbers speak for themselves.According to the Air Force Fitness, Pro-

motion, and Evaluation Policy office:--Since the implementation of the new

PT test in October 2010, 1,277,825 Airmenhave been evaluated.

--15,788 Airmen, who completed all fourcomponents, failed the waist measurementwhile also failinganother componentof the test.

--5,141 Airmen, who completed all fourcomponents, failed their waist measure-ment, while passing the other three com-ponents. Of those, 348 failed their waistmeasurement and passed the other threecomponents with a composite score of 75.

So, what does this all mean? Out of the1,277,825 Airmen who failed the waist mea-surement, 0.4 percent failed only that com-ponent.

Of those, 76 have been separated be-cause of that failure, amounting to .006% ofthe 1,277,825 Airmen who have tested underthe new Fitness Assessment.

Bottom line, numbers show that, as awhole, failures are on the decline.

In July 2010, the overall failure rate forthe fitness assessment was 22.1 percent. Asof June 2013, the failure has decreased to 4.9percent.

“We’ve seen a notable increase in passingscores,” said Col. Dawn Keasley, who worksin the Air Force Military Force ManagementDivision. “Airmen are clearly embracing aculture of fitness and that is a great thing forour Airmen, the Air Force, and the nation weprotect and defend.”

Waist measurement failuresnon-factor for most Airmen

GRAPHIC BY SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The waist measurement portion of the fitness assessment is the second least reason forfailure among Airmen.

although we received Tricare, all the treat-ments my mother needed to receive cre-ated a financial burden on my family. Also,just about the same time my mother wasdiagnosed with cancer, my father receivedorders to a new unit. My mother had juststarted her treatments in Puerto Rico, andmy father made the difficult decision to goalone to his new unit leaving us behind inorder to keep providing for our family. Hisdecision was really hard on all of my fam-ily, but because of his devotion to his ser-vice, we all understood this was somethingthat had to do to serve his country.

During this difficult time of separa-tion, the Coast Guard aided my family inso many ways; they provided my motherwith all her treatments and were also ableto grant my father special orders, whichallowed him to come back to his old unitso he could take care of us during thosedifficult times. If it was not for the CoastGuard and their help, there may havebeen a different outcome for my motherand our family. The Coast Guard saw howmuch my father was sacrificing for thehonor to serve, so they ensured he got thesupport he and our family needed becauseit is a service of understanding and caringpeople.

When I saw what the Coast Guard didfor my family, I knew that I had to dem-onstrate my gratitude. It encouraged me

to become part of the United States CoastGuard.

I want to serve and give the CoastGuard all my skills and knowledge by pro-viding for them just as they provided forme. When I found out about the CollegeStudent Pre-Commissioning Program, Iapplied and have not even once regrettedany of the choices I have made.

It’s been a long, hard summer, but ev-ery single day I am grateful for being giventhe opportunity to train and serve in theUnited States Coast Guard; a service that Ican truly say I also owe my life to.
