TheCombinedFederalCampaignAwardRecognition Ceremony was held Tuesdayat the Fort Eustis Transportation Museumto honor CFC key workers and volunteers.As a whole, the Eustis community raised$256,515 over the last few months.

“This ceremony is all about recogniz-ing our key workers for a job well done.”said Charles Harris, CFC program co-ordinator. “This year we exceeded ourfundraising goal by 128 percent and thisis our way of showing our appreciationfor all of their hard work.”

CFCs mission aims to promote andsupport philanthropy through a pro-gram that is employee focused, cost ef-ficient, and effective in providing allfederal employees the opportunity toimprove the quality of life for all.

“CFC has raised a significant amountof money during these challenging eco-nomic times,” said Thomas R. Wether-ington, commander, 733rd Mission Sup-port Group “Many people will neverknow the lives that have been touchedby generous contributions of Soldiers,retirees, and civilian employees.”

Wetherington also gave special acknowl-edgement to each individual who volun-teered their time, commitment and service.

“As we bring closure to this annualfundraising campaign it’s a great privi-lege and honor to serve others. I person-

ally take pleasure in recognizing each keyworker who spearheaded this success.”

He continued, “These contributionswill support the many charities that have

likely helped many military families andindividuals in need.”

CFC is the world’s largest and most suc-cessful annual workplace charity cam-

paign, with more than 200 CFC campaignsall throughout the United States and inter-nationally that consistently raises millionsof dollars each year.

Key workers of the Combined Federal Campaign were praised for their hard work during a ceremony held at Fort Eustis, Jan. 17.Thecampaign, which kicked off Oct. 3, 2011 and ended Dec. 15, 2011, marked the 50th anniversary for CFC.

As a whole, the Fort Eustis community raised a total of $256,515 during the 2011 Combined Federal Campaign.

The entry of 2012 comes with great ex-citement and anticipation of what wewill accomplish together in the comingmonths. While many encounters are un-known at this time, there are a few focusareas that are easily identified.

Our military force will continue to bedeployed throughout the globe. We al-ways have hundreds of Soldiers andAirmen serving in various parts of theworld--that will likely not change. So apriority remains to keep our forces readyto respond when the nation calls. Partof that focus for Langley in 2012 will bethe re-emergence of Phase II exercises.

It has been many months since the basehas fully participated in these force-em-ployment exercises. Starting in Februarywe begin the crawl, walk, run processto redefine our ways, while also eventu-ally incorporating the ‘get out of town’aspect of deploying forces. Yes, the oldPhase I and Phase II exercises are back.

Another focus area for the 633rd ABWin 2012 is to continue to advance the jointbase. Again, this newly formed organi-zation is still in its infant stages. A lot ofhard work went into the formation ofJBLE, and the full maturation will taketime. Supporting these two bases is ab-

solutely critical. As my earlier reflectiondescribed, there is no shortage of diversemissions, and our joint-basing effortmust always keep attention on allowingthose missions to succeed — our nationdepends on them.

And finally, it doesn’t take one longto understand 2012 will be a year of re-source limitations. Every level of our na-tion, government, military and societyunderstands the economic realities are atop concern. There will undoubtedly betough decisions to be made in the comingmonths in terms of where our precious re-sources should be applied. These deliber-

ations are occurring at all levels, from thecorporate enterprise solutions to the lo-cal impacts. At times like these, every dol-lar matters so we must be great stewards.Again, the primary focus will be on thosemilitary missions our nation needs andexpects us to be able to perform.

2011 was a busy and successful year,and I can guarantee a future reflection of2012 will have the same sentiment. It isbecause of the great members of the 633rdABW and all the units on JBLE that I canconfidently say 2012 will also be a verysuccessful year for mission accomplish-ment — that is our proud culture.

AIR FORCE NEWS SERVICE

The Air Force completed its investiga-tion into the April 27, 2011 shooting inci-dent at the Afghanistan air force Head-quarters located in Kabul, Afghanistan, inwhich eight U.S. Air Force Airmen and onecivilian contractor were killed in the line ofduty while serving in a combat zone.

Among the personnel killed in the incidentwas Maj. Raymond G. Estelle II, 40, of NewHaven, Conn. He was assigned to Head-quarters Air Combat Command, JB Lang-ley-Eustis, Va. Also, Maj. Charles A. Ransom,31, of Midlothian, Va. He was assigned to the83rd Network Operations Squadron.

The incident occurred when an Afghan-istan air force officer, Col. Ahmed Gul, en-tered the Afghan Command and ControlCenter in the Afghanistan air force head-quarters, North Kabul International Air-port, and shot and killed the eight Airmenand one civilian contractor. In addition tothe U.S. personnel killed, two Afghanswere shot and three other Afghans wereinjured in the attack. The attacker died ofwounds received during the incident.

The investigation report concludes Gulacted alone and discusses factors that mayhave played a role in the incident. Whilethe investigation did not determine a con-clusive motive for the killing, the attackappeared to be pre-meditated and therewere multiple witness statements in theAir Force Office of Special Investigationsreport that indicated Gul may have hadpersonal issues that were possibly com-pounded by alleged financial problems.

The OSI findings do not support initialmedia coverage of the event that report-ed an argument may have occurred ear-

lier that day between the shooter and theAmerican service members, nor reportsthat the gunman disarmed and method-ically killed the Airmen.

“These Airmen paid the ultimate sacri-fice while serving our nation in a combatzone,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Nor-ton Schwartz said. “Each of these Airmenbravely and purposely performed theirduties, and their selfless sacrifices leavebehind an honorable legacy that we con-tinue to see in the commitment of Airmenwho serve as air advisers today.”

The Air Force, sister services and coali-tion partners continue training Afghansoldiers and airmen in an effort to build astable Afghanistan government.

“These Airmen were committed to nobleservice, helping the Afghanistan govern-ment in its quest to establish a stable envi-ronment,” said Maj. Gen. Charles Lyon, thecommander of 9th Air and Space Expedi-tionary Task Force-Afghanistan at the timeof the incident. “We keep their families inour thoughts and prayers as we remembertheir sacrifices and honor their courageouslegacy. TheseAirmen and their families willalways be part of the Air Force family.”

Others killed in the April 27, 2011, inci-dent were:

� Maj. Philip D. Ambard, 44, of Ed-monds, Wash. He was assigned to the460th Space Communications Squadron,Buckley Air Force Base, Colo.

� Maj. Jeffrey O. Ausborn, 41, of Gads-den, Ala. He was assigned to the 99thFlying Training Squadron, RandolphAFB, Texas.

� Maj. David L. Brodeur, 34, of Au-burn, Mass. He was assigned to the 11thAir Force, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richard-son, Alaska.

� Master Sgt. Tara R. Brown, 33, ofDeltona, Fla. She was assigned to the AirForce Office of Special Investigations, JBAndrews, Md.

By Debbie GildeaAIR FORCE PERSONNEL, SERVICES ANDMANPOWER PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Information, education and trainingcritical to civilian supervisors is availableat such online resources as the Superviso-ry Resource Center, which has moved tothe Air Force Portal, SRC developers an-nounced today.

Formerly located on the Air ForceKnowledge Now platform as a communi-ty of practice page,Air Force Materiel Com-mand has managed the SRC in some formsince 2006. Effective Jan. 30, the AFKN sitewill be phased out and employees will bedirected to the Portal site.

“We are continually additing content toappeal to wider audiences, based on theirrole — whether they are pre-supervisory,a new supervisor or an experienced su-pervisor. Then we introduce features fo-cused on those roles,” said Marti Paul,SRC program manager.

The SRC is not just for supervisory de-

velopment, Paul said, explaining that itcan also be used by supervisors to devel-op their employees.

For example, she explained, there isnow a pre-supervisory development pro-cess that helps people prepare for theirrole as a supervisor. In addition, “knowl-edge nuggets” were added starting in2009. Knowledge nuggets are short snip-pets of video that feature senior leaderstalking about leadership topics, said Paul.

“We created learning programs based onAir Force institutional competencies andadded those links to the SRC, and have con-tinued to enhance its functionality based onAir Force topics of interest,” Paul said.

The move to the Portal is beneficial foreveryone, according to Paul. Now the SRCexists on a stable, well-known platform,and it will be easier for people to access ar-eas that before required circuitous effort.To visit the SRC, go to the Portal, hoverover the life and career tab, then force de-velopment, and select the SRC link on thetop left side of the FD page.

In addition to the SRC, supervisors canquickly access valuable information ona wide variety of topics at the Air ForcePersonnel Services civilian supervisorsresource page.

“If you're new to civil service, or a newsupervisor, you'll find a lot of informationthat you need all located on one page. It'sfaster and more efficient ot go to the su-pervisors' resource page than to try to lookup information every time you need it,”said Jackie Holland, Air Force PersonnelCenter civilian future operations branch.

The page includes knowledge articleson filling vacant positions, pay and com-pensation, veteran hiring, and more. Thereare also quick links to reference guides, thesupervisor's handbook, overseas employ-ment and reduction in force.

“People might waste a lot of time look-ing for information that they could easilyaccess on this page, so it's a definite bene-fit,” said Holland. “And, there's a link onthe page to the SRC, as well, so it's easy tovisit the center for related information.”

More formal education programs arealso linked through the SRC, includingAir University E-Learning programs,said Barry Waite, Ira C. Eaker Center forProfessional Development.

“Air Force online supervisory cours-es have proved invaluable in preparingAirmen for their responsibilities,” saidWaite. “We must provide training to en-able people to accomplish their missionand to achieve their goals, but the moneyrequired to send all supervisors to an in-residence program is unsustainable.”

Prior to implementing the AU onlinelearning environment, employing federalemployees and contractor instructors totrain new supervisors cost the Air Forcemore than $1.7 million annually.

“Some bases had a contractor visit once ortwice a year to conduct training, which wasinflexible and required new supervisors waituntil a trainer visited,” Waite said. “E-Learn-ing brings the classroom to the student, andit's the same quality and technology majoruniversities use for their online classes.”

Economics is defined as the socialscience that analyzes the production,distribution and consumption ofgoods and services; coming from anancient Greek word meaning “rulesof the household.”

The 633rd Comptroller Squadronuses microeconomics to provide finan-cial and decision support for the instal-lation’s leadership and population.

Staying vigilantA team of about 30 military per-

sonnel and approximately 20 civil-ians provide accounting, finance,budget and cost analysis for the633rd Air Base Wing and more than30 associate units, including Head-quarters Air Combat Command.

The squadron also disburses morethan $1.45 billion dollars annual-ly; maintains and disburses payrolldata for 10,815 military and civilianpersonnel. CPTS also provides fi-nancial support for worldwide con-tingencies, oversees non-appropriat-ed funds and financial managementfor installation leadership.

“Our job is to help the installationleadership to understand and navi-gate through the fog and friction ofthe budget environment,” said Lt.Col. Timothy Kodama, 633rd CPTScommander.

Practice makes perfectTo help servicemembers navigate

through different scenarios, contin-

gency training is performed week-ly and deals with unique situations,such as cash operations that are notusually performed stateside.

“There are still a lot of entitlementswe deal with in a deployed environ-ment that we don’t necessarily dealwith in our garrison environment atthe home station,” stated Master Sgt.Keith Munroe, 633rd CPTS financialanalysis flight chief.

Overcoming challengesThe squadron faced challenges

during the joint basing process be-tween Langley Air Force Base andFort Eustis. When Joint Base Lang-ley-Eustis reached Full Operation-al Capability status in October 2010,the 633rd CPTS integrated financialexperience from two different mil-itary cultures into the way the AirForce does business.

During the integration, a new Au-tomated, Time, Attendance and Pro-duction System was implemented at

Langley, thanks to the suggestion ofFort Eustis’ financial employees. TheATAAPS system improved the 46minutes it took for one civilian timecard to be processed. According toKodama, The Air Staff Agency plansto implement this system Air Forcewide for the 2013 fiscal year.

By looking at how the Army andAir Force conducted their businessfinancially, the efficiency of the bud-get process was either confirmed, orlooked at closely, to determine costand time effectiveness.

In the wake of recent announce-ments of Department of Defensespending cuts in the coming months,the squadron is working hard tostretch the taxpayer’s dollars further.Being able to “do more with less”makes their role more valuable thanever in accomplishing the mission.

“At the end of the day we justhave to work a little bit harder andspend the taxpayer’s dollars smart-ly,” said Kodama.

“Our job is to help theinstallation leadership tounderstand and navigatethrough the fog and frictionof the budget environment.”

By Carol KerrARMY WAR COLLEGE PAO

There’s a point at which select Army of-ficers and senior civilians are in positionsto make things happen and set the condi-tions for the Army’s future if they are pre-pared to do so. Twice a year, the Army’sweeklong Senior Leader Seminar triggersthat preparation by exploring the infor-mation needed for decision-making in achanging environment.

About 85 Army colonels and DA GS-15sare in seminar this week in Shepherdstown,W. Va., to explore the issues presented byArmy leaders and the specialized knowl-edge with new meaning at the strategiclevel. This is the 2nd iteration of the ArmyLeader Development initiative, executedby the Army War College, to educate andbroaden senior leaders selected by the Se-nior Leader Development office.

“This is exactly where we need to putour emphasis in leader development,”said TRADOC commander Gen. RobertCone who spent several hours in SLS di-

alogue about Army Leader Developmentfrom TRADOC’s perspective and fromhis personal perspective.

“This program stems from systematicanalysis of how we develop leaders,” saidCone. “We identified this cohort of lead-ers and wanted to ensure that we providethe breadth and depth of understand-ing about the strategic environment thatthey’ll deal with.

“It’s important that they understand thefull context of the peacetime world — teamplay, sharing information and building co-alitions,” said the TRADOC commander.

“It’s about team play at this level,” saidCone. “For most of their career, they’vefocused on their own lane. Now the jobis to understand external relationships.”

Cone’s focus complemented that ofGen. Raymond Odierno, Chief of Staff ofthe Army, who emphasized these lead-ers’ responsibility and challenge to leadchange in a changing world and a time offiscal constraint.

AAFES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Army & Air Force Exchange Ser-vice shoppers can show their appreci-ation to military servicemembers whocame before them by sending free val-entines through their local Exchangenow through Feb. 6.

Now in its second year, “Valentinesfor Veterans” is an annual Exchangecampaign to send greetings to localVeterans Administration hospitals,Fisher House locations and military re-tirement facilities.

“Our shoppers include many veter-ans and their families who know whatit means to serve, and understand hownice it is to be remembered,” said Ex-change Chief of Staff Col. Thomas Ock-enfels. “‘Valentines for Veterans’ is anopportunity for our patrons to reach

out to those who’ve already servedand send their greetings.”

To send free Valentine’s Day cards,shoppers can simply stop by partici-pating Exchange facilities through Feb.6th and fill out cards provided, or bringtheir own cards to drop off. The Ex-change will arrange for delivery to localveterans on or before Valentine’s Day.

Former Air Force servicemember RayLamy, who currently is the ExchangeHQs Military Outreach coordinator, said“The veterans we delivered to in 2011 re-ally appreciated all the Valentines greet-ings. Everyone loves to be remembered.”

Exchange shoppers can learn moreby contacting their local Main Exchangeand asking about “Valentines for Veter-ans.” Supporters can visit shopmyex-change.com’s “Exchange Stores” link tofind their closest Exchange location.

The Army leaders who addressed thegroup were candid about the challengesof creating consensus for complex chal-lenges. Sharing insights from positions ofresponsibility and experience were Gen.Odierno, Gen. Cone, Third Army/USAR-CENT commander Lt. Gen. Vince Brooks,Inspector General Lt. Gen. Peter Vangiel,and the Under Secretary of Defense forPolicy Michele Flournoy.

Leader guidance and exchanges werecompleted by experts’ guidance about thehigh-visibility, high-expectation world ofthe strategic leader. Dr. Don Snider identi-fied the definitions of the Army Professioncampaign as a precursor to future Army“build-down.” West Point instructor Col.Mike Meese shared the economic literacyneeded for strategic decision-making. Pro-fessional Congressional Staff Member BillSutey joined with the Chief of LegislativeLiaison Maj. Gen. “Ben” Hodges to clarifywhat Members of Congress need and ex-pect, and why that understanding matters.The mysteries of interagency coordinationwere deconstructed by representatives ofthe departments of Homeland Securityand State, DHS Deputy Assistant Secre-tary for Policy Alan Cohn and DoS Minis-ter-Counselor Karen Aguilar.

Emerging themes included the valueof relationships, skill in seeing the Armyfrom outside perspectives, and the needto survey personal skills and knowledgeso as to recognize and develop the blankspots in a leader’s skill set.

“I value the simple fact of knowingwhat others are thinking,” said SLS par-ticipants Col. J.T. Thompson, command-er of the 160th Special Operations Avi-ation Regiment. “Rarely do we get theopportunity to reflect on the issues facingthe military in the next three to five years,and allow us to brainstorm.”

“This is exploratory learning,” saidThompson. “You get an appreciation forthe enormity and diversity of the situationahead of us. There is no silver bullet. Youappreciate what is ahead. To be a part ofthat among all these people? I’ll take that,”he said, about the cohort of SLS leaderswho will set the conditions for the future.

“This is important in that it guides myself-development,” said participant Col.Bruce Antonio, 4th Infantry Division Chiefof Staff. “To hear what senior leaders arethinking about is valuable. As I hear the is-sues important to senior leaders, I knowwhere I’ll want to put more attention inpersonal development.”

SBP & former spouse coverageIf you are getting ready to retire and were

The language in the court or-dered divorce decree must specifically ref-erence Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) and notjust “retired pay,” as they are two separateentities. If a retiree is court-ordered to pro-vide SBP-Former Spouse coverage, then acurrent spouse cannot be covered.

To learn more about SBP and the complexi-ties of Former Spouse coverage, consult withyour JBLE SBP counselor at 764-5231 or visithttp://militarypay.defense.gov/survivor/sbp/05_cost_fspouse.html (This is a .gov website andwill not ask for any personal information.)

By Lisa DanielAMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

First Lady Michelle Obama announceda commitment from the nation’s medi-cal colleges to better train civilian health-care providers in caring for war veteransand their families and to push for more re-search in the wounds of war.

Obama’s announcement at Virginia Com-monwealth University in Richmond on Jan.11 marked the latest endeavor of her “Join-ing Forces” campaign with Jill Biden, wife ofVice President Joe Biden, to rally nationwidesupport for military families.

Today, the first lady announced that theAssociation of American Medical Colleg-es and the American Association of Col-leges of Osteopathic Medicine, with 105and 25 schools, respectively, have com-mitted to leveraging their missions ineducation, research and clinical care “tomeet the unique health-care needs” of themilitary and veterans communities.

“Today the nation’s medical colleges arecommitting to create a new generation ofdoctors, medical schools and research facili-ties to make sure our heroes receive the careworthy of their military service,” she said.

As part of the initiative, the associa-tions pledged to:

� Train their medical students as wellas their current physicians, faculty andstaff to better diagnose and treat veteransand military families.

� Develop new research and clinical tri-als on traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.

� Share their information and best prac-tices with each other through a collabora-tive Web forum.

� Coordinate with the departments ofDefense and Veterans Affairs.

Many of the medical colleges alreadyare making strides, Obama said, includ-ing VCU’s project to ease veterans’ tran-sition from war to home, the Universityof South Florida’s first-of-its-kind Centerfor Veterans Reintegration and the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh’s creation of an im-aging tool to see the wiring of the brain invivid high-definition.

The idea behind Joining Forces is verysimple, Obama said.

“In a time of war, when our troops andtheir families are sacrificing so much, weall should be doing everything we can toserve them as well as they are serving this

country,” she added. “It’s an obligationthat extends to every single American.And, it’s an obligation that does not endwhen a war ends and troops return home.In many ways, that’s when it begins.”

The first lady said she became awareof this when she and President BarackObama welcomed home the final troopsfrom Iraq last month.

“I couldn’t shake the feeling that eventhough we were marking the end of the war,this was not an ending for them. For ourtroops, the end of war marks the beginningof a very long period of transition,” she said.

Sometimes the transitions from war tohome “bring the hardest moments ourtroops and their families will ever face,”she added.

Obama said she wanted to empha-size that most war veterans return homewith no mental health issues at all. But formany, she added, “the emotional wounds

come flooding back,” leading to sleeplessnights, rage, substance abuse and subse-quent family problems.

An estimated one in six Iraq and Af-ghanistan war veterans return home withpost-traumatic stress or depression, andat least 4,000 have had at least a moder-ate-grade brain injury, the first lady said,noting that many don’t seek help becauseof a perceived stigma.

“I want to be very clear today: thesemental health challenges are not a sign ofweakness,” she said. “They should neveragain be a source of shame. They are a nat-ural reaction to the challenges of war, andit has been that way throughout the ages.”

Half of post-9/11 veterans seek helpoutside DOD and VA, and many of themare not connected to a base, Obama said.“We have to meet our veterans wherethey live,” she added.

“I want to emphasize the power of

your chosen profession,” the first ladytold medical students in the audience.“You will be there for some of your pa-tients’ most powerful life moments. It isthe essence of true service. You will havea unique opportunity and responsibilityto make an impact on their lives. You willsingle handedly be able show these he-roes that their country is there for them,no matter what they are going through.

“You will make a world of differenceon these issues,” she continued. “You willchange these heroes’ lives for the better,forever. You will uphold our nation’s sa-cred trust to its heroes and their families.”

Obama also had a message for servicemembers.

“No matter where you are, no matterwhat you are going through, please knowAmerica will be there for you and yourfamily,” she said.

Asking for support is a sign of strengththat will help not just those in the mili-tary, but for all Americans struggling withmental health problems, the first lady said.

Jerome Strauss, dean of the VCU Schoolof Medicine, recalled being in medicalschool during the Vietnam War 40 yearsago and getting no formal training inhow to treat returning veterans.

“I remember the uncertainty and anxietyof caring for these patients whose lives werechanged by their war experiences,” he said.

“Now, we have a far better understand-ing of [traumatic brain injury],” he add-ed, as well as a basis for curriculum andresearch in areas such as pain manage-ment and spinal cord injuries.

John Prescott, director of academic af-fairs for the Association of AmericanMedical Colleges, said medical schoolsare “uniquely positioned to have a tre-mendous impact on servicemembers andtheir families,” and contain the best in re-search, clinical practices and education.

The association’s collaboration withJoining Forces, he said, shows “There isno time like the present to make sure thosewho have sacrificed so much get the carethey need now and into the future.”

Prescott, a former Army officer whoseson is in the military, said he has highhopes for the effort.

“We want to let all the troops and vet-erans here know that our nation’s medi-cal schools are proud of your service andwe only hope we can live up to the highstandards you set,” he said.
