Joint Base Charleston and Palmetto Scholars Academy leaders – past and present – participated in the ribbon cutting event opening a new school building at Hunley Park on JB Charleston,S.C., on Jan 23, 2016. The new facility has been a four-year project headed by Stacey Lindbergh, PSA chairman of the board, which began with discussions with former JB Charleston com-mander Col. Richard McComb.

Palmetto Scholars Academy, an award-winning charterschool for gifted and talented children, held a ribbon cuttingceremony Jan. 23, 2016, celebrating the opening of a newschool building in Hunley Park on Joint Base Charleston, S.C.The ceremony marked the culmination of a four-year

effort, across various sectors of government, to gain the per-missions and funding needed to build on Hunley Park."Today's ribbon cutting is important to the military families

that serve here," said U.S. Air Force Col. Robert K. Lyman, JointBase Charleston commander, during his remarks at the ribboncutting. "It represents more than four years of partnership."When the charter school opened in 2010, PSA was located

in a small daycare center on the Naval Weapons Station.Because there was little funding, the school came close toclosing several times."We had a very tough first year, financially," Stacey

Lindbergh, PSA chairman of the board, said. "There were sev-eral times I thought we were going to have to lock up perma-nently. If it hadn't been for my mother, a 70-year-old Air Forcewidow, putting her own house up for sale, I don't think wewould have made it."Funding was a constant problem for the PSA faculty and

board. "I had gone to several people to try and help us," Lindbergh

said, "but I was getting nowhere."Running out of options, Lindberg thought of approaching

the JB Charleston commander, Col. Robert McComb."Going to Col. McComb was a long shot. I didn't know if

it was going to work, but after talking to him, I knew we weregoing to be successful," Lindbergh said.McComb worked with PSA to establish the new location of

the school right across the street from the Air Base.Jeffrey Garrett, 628th Civil Engineer Squadron installation

management flight chief, has been working on this projectsince it started four years ago."When Col. McComb had found out about this opportunity,

he was excited about it from the start," Garrett said. "It was along process, but in the end, we were able to come to the agree-ment on the amount of land as well as the land lease itself."On May 1, 2015, PSA held its ground breaking ceremony at

Hunley Park, marking the beginning of construction for PSA'snew school. The new building took more than eight months tocomplete and increased the school's space by 30,000 square feet."If it weren't for Col. McComb," Lindbergh said, "I don't

think we would have ever found a new home."Noel Tufts, a ninth grader and a second year student at

PSA, is very optimistic about the new facilities."I'm excited about the new building," Tufts said. "Not only

are we getting actual labs and a gym but we're actually gettingreal classrooms and bathrooms. Everyone is helping pack andmove everything from the old building to the new one."

To get the approval for the building, Lindbergh workedwith the South Carolina Legislature to introduce and pass theS.C. Military Charter Law, which allows charter schools todesignate a portion of the slots in their student body to chil-dren of active duty military personnel assigned to militaryinstallations that provide land or facilities."We are saving about 20 percent of our slots for active duty

military personnel's children," Lindbergh said. "Being an old mil-itary brat myself, I know how important it is for military kids toget a good education as well as have a good environment inwhich to learn."As the JB Charleston commander, Lyman also expressed

his enthusiasm for the new opportunity."With no degree of overstatement, I believe this school will

literally transform the experience of military families whoserve here," he said. "It marks a new educational opportunity,right in our back yard."Officially opening its halls on Jan. 29, the new home for PSA pro-

vides a more spacious and modern learning center for the children.The new facility allows the students to do science projects

in actual science classrooms and experience physical educa-tion in a real gym, Tufts said. Additionally, the added space inthe school enables more South Carolina gifted and talentedstudent to attend PSA."The charter school, being an A-rated school, will produce

a vital quality educational option for military families and thesurrounding community," Garrett said.

Palmetto Scholars Academy opens new facility on JB Charleston

By Airman 1st Class Thomas CharltonJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Former Navy Master Chief Petty Officer Jason Roach waspromoted to Chief Warrant Officer 3 at the Red Bank Club onJoint Base Charleston - Naval Weapons Station, S.C., onJanuary 29, 2016.As a new Chief Warrant Officer 3, Roach is now a fire con-

trol officer aboard the USS Eisenhower, a nuclear-poweredaircraft carrier."I wanted to get commissioned because I wanted to expand

my horizons and experience another side of the Navy," saidRoach.A Chief Warrant Officer is a subject matter expert in a spe-

cific occupational field whose knowledge level is beyondwhat's expected of a senior enlisted member. Applications arelimited to Chief Petty Officer through a Master Chief PettyOfficer. However, 1st Class Petty Officers who are eligible tobe promoted to Chief Petty Officer also may apply.Capt. Charles Phillip, commanding officer of the Navy

Munitions Command Atlantic unit Charleston and Roach'sformer commander, believes the Chief Warrant Officer pro-gram is an important option the Navy has to offer.

"The Navy Chief Warrant Officer program is an essential com-missioning source of the Navy officer corps which provides anunprecedented level of experience and expertise," said Phillip.Roach would have accepted a full commission but there

were restrictions preventing him from doing so."I would've accepted a full commission as a normal officer,"

Roach said, "but I was past the time limit in my career to com-mission, so I decided to become a Chief Warrant Officer."Roach still has goals and ambitions he wants to achieve."I want to qualify as a command duty officer and hopefully

make Chief Warrant Officer 5. I would also love to be theofficer in charge of the Naval Munitions Command detach-ment in Crete, Greece," said Roach.While it took a lot of hard work and dedication to become

a Master Chief Petty Officer and a Chief Warrant Officer,Roach is able to share his advice on how to succeed."You want to find out who the best person in your unit is

and mold yourself after them and from there you can do any-thing you want," said Roach.Though Roach is the one who has become a Chief Warrant

Officer, he did not do it alone and knows he couldn't havedone it without help."If it weren't for my family, friends and the people I've

served with who pushed me to where I am today," Roach said,"I wouldn't have been able to make it this far."

The application process to become a Chief Warrant Officeris easy. It's getting selected that's the hard part."It's a very easy process, actually," Roach said. "You just

go onto the Navy website, download the application, submit itand present all of your awards and evaluations. Then itbecomes a competitive process. A board reviews the applica-tion and selects the people they want to commission to ChiefWarrant Officer."Roach's former commanding officer had high praise for the

new Chief Warrant Officer."Chief Warrant Officer Roach is one of the most highly pro-

fessional, extremely talented, motivated, and passionateSailors I've ever seen," Phillip said, "And he is the finest sen-ior enlisted advisor I have ever served with."

What women should know about cervical cancerBy Tammy Gray, nurse educator and directorNaval Health Clinic Charleston Health and Wellness Program

Cervical cancer is often called the "silent killer" because women withearly stage cervical cancer typically have no symptoms. It is not until thecancer spreads and becomes invasive that symptoms present themselves.By this time, it is usually too late.The good news is, because women are being more proactive and undergo-

ing screening for the disease, the number of deaths from cervical cancer in thepast 40 years has decreased significantly, according to the American CancerSociety. However, more than 12,000 new cases of cervical cancer were diag-nosed in the U.S. last year and 4,030 women died as a result of the disease,suggesting that there is still more we need to do to combat cervical cancer. The most important measure a woman can take to prevent cervical can-

cer is to have regular Pap screening tests beginning at age 21 and contin-uing until 65. If normal, a Pap screening test should be done every three

years. Women 30 years old or older shouldalso get tested for HPV, the HumanPapilloma Virus (just one of the causes ofcervical cancer), along with a Pap smear,every five years.The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention found that eight million womenwho should be getting regular cervical can-cer screenings are not doing so. An estimated93 percent of the diagnosed cases of cervicalcancer could have been prevented with a sin-gle Pap screening test, according to theAmerican Cancer society.Women can be their own best advocates

by asking their clinical care providers toschedule Pap tests. Scheduling a Pap test is easy and can be life-saving.

Story and photos by Senior Airman Clayton CupitJoint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Dating back to the 1930's, hundreds of thousands of volun-teers lobbied for the establishment of an organization made ofcivilians who wanted to make a difference and help defendtheir nation.Thus, a week prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,

the Civil Air Patrol had been born.According to the Civil Air Patrol website, volunteers flood-

ed to America's call for national service through acceptingcritical wartime missions. Serving through the Army AirCorps, CAP members logged more than 500,000 flying hoursand managed to save hundreds of aircraft crash victims overthe course of World War II.When the war ended, CAP saw an opportunity to continue pro-

viding their services to their country. A few years down the road,President Harry Truman signed a law establishing CAP as a non-profit organization. A couple years later, Congress passed a lawstating CAP as the auxiliary of the newly born U.S. Air Force.In late August 2015, the longtime all-volunteer U.S. Air

Force auxiliary was labeled as the newest member of the AirForce's Total Force, which consists of active-duty Air Force,Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, along with AirForce retired military and civilian employees."Three primary mission areas were set forth at the time of

CAP's creation," said Capt. Steve Hyland, CAP commanderon JB Charleston. "We focus on aerospace education, cadetprograms and emergency services."

CAP's Three Primary Missions: Aerospace EducationCAP's aerospace education mainly focuses on their CAP

members, but they also have an audience in the generalpublic as well."The programs ensure that all CAP members (seniors

and cadets) have an appreciation for and knowledge ofaerospace issues," said Hyland. "To advance within theorganization, members are required to participate in theeducational program."

Cadet Programs"While there are many youth oriented programs in

America today," said Hyland. "CAP's cadet program isunique in that it uses aviation as a cornerstone."Young people aged 12 to 21 have the possibility to be

introduced to aviation through CAP's cadet program.Through this program, cadets have the ability toprogress at their own pace in aerospace education, lead-ership training and physical fitness programs."CAP's cadet programs and aerospace education pro-

grams have introduced numerous cadets to STEM sub-jects and character development," said Hyland."Additionally, many CAP cadets eventually move on to attendservice academies or universities on ROTC scholarships."

Emergency ServicesCAP continues to save lives through a plethora of emer-

gency-services and operational missions. CAP flies more than85 percent of all search-and-rescue missions under the direc-tion of Air Force Rescue Coordination Center located inTyndall Air Force Base, Fl. CAP members have been savingapproximately 75-100 people each year."CAP also has a hand in disaster relief, humanitarian serv-

ices, Air Force support and counterdrug operations as well,"

said Hyland."CAP provides aerial support to the base by flying low

level training routes looking for and documenting unchartedobstacles, such as cell towers," said Hyland.The local CAP chapter originally began as Coastal Patrol

Squadron 8 which stood up in May 1941. As the programevolved over the years, the local chapter was changed toSquadron 056, SC Wing, Mid-East Region.a"While the name may have changed, the squadron has

maintained continuous operation for 74 years," said Hyland."We're proud partners of JB Charleston and are always com-mitted to the mission here."

Cadet Colonel Tyler Hoover, Civil Air Patrol, explains a callbackprocess to other cadets during a field training exercise Jan. 9,2016, on James Island, S.C. The callback process is the means forcadets and seniors to stay in touch with their team while onsearch-and-rescue missions. The process ensures accountabilityand accuracy of important information passed from caller to caller.

Senior Maj. Barry Feinstein, Civil Air Patrol, uses a device tolocate a simulated downed aircraft Jan. 9, 2016, on JamesIsland, S.C.

The Chairman of the Board for Palmetto Scholar'sAcademy, Stacy Lindbergh, received the "Commander'sPublic Service Award," a U.S. military honor, during the rib-bon cutting ceremony for PSA's new facility on Joint BaseCharleston, S.C., Jan. 23, 2016.Lindbergh received the award for her four-year effort to

bring the PSA, an award-winning charter school for giftedchildren, onto the base, to provide an educational option forlocal South Carolina and military children.Col. Robert Lyman, Joint Base Charleston commander,

presented the award during a formal ceremony in front ofhundreds of PSA students, family, faculty, JB Charlestonmembers and well-wishers."In the Air Force we have a special award for a citizen's

dedication which significantly improved the conditions forbase personnel – and whose service was voluntary, per-formed as a public service, and motivated by patriotism,"Lyman said. "We probably don't give it often enough, but theeligibility criteria seem to be written for Stacy's efforts here."Lindbergh worked with the state legislature to secure the

approval and funding to build PSA's new facility on base.This task included passing the South Carolina MilitaryCharter Law, which allows charter schools to "provide pri-ority admission to children of active duty military assignedto military installations that provide land or facilities,"according to her award citation.A PSA mother and volunteer, Lindbergh waded through

the four-year process to secure the on-base lease.“Efforts like this take the support of many, but they begin –

and at their heart are fueled by – the passion of a leader,"Lyman said. "In this effort, that has been Stacy Lindbergh."Lindbergh is the first person in recent memory to receive

the Commander's Public Service Award at Joint BaseCharleston.

By the time you finish reading thisarticle, 10 Americans will have had a heartattack - one person every 43 seconds; sevenAmericans will have died from a heart dis-ease-related event - one person per minute.Heart disease is the number one cause of

death in the United States, claiming morelives than all forms of cancer combined,according to the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention. Every year, about 735,000Americans die from heart disease, whichincludes strokes, heart attacks and other car-diovascular diseases. The basic function of the heart is to pump

oxygenated blood through vessels that pro-vide nutrients to our cells. Heart diseaseoccurs when coronary arteries are blocked,narrowed or hardened due to plaque buildup.Plaque is the accumulation of fat and cho-

lesterol on the inner wall of an artery. Factorssuch as age, gender, heredity and race cancontribute to heart disease and are uncontrol-lable. Excess weight, cholesterol, blood pres-sure, a sedentary lifestyle and smoking arealso factors but can be controlled.Two ways to fight heart disease and main-

tain a healthy heart are to have a balanced dietand an active lifestyle. Making just a fewlifestyle changes can have long-term benefitsfor a person's health and their heart.Diets should consist of a variety of foods

that are nutrient-rich, meaning foods withminerals, proteins, whole grains and othernutrients. Nutrient-rich foods are also lower

in calories, which can help control weight,cholesterol and blood pressure.Examples of nutrient-rich foods are fruits

and vegetables, whole grains breads or pasta,low-fat dairy products, skinless poultry, fish,nuts and legumes.In addition to incorporating nutrient-rich

foods into a daily diet, it is also important tolimit foods that are nutrient-poor or are high incalories but low in nutrients. Limiting saturat-ed and trans-fat, sodium, red meat and sweetswill compliment a healthy diet and lead to bet-ter health. If red meats are consumed, select-ing the leanest cut is a heart smart option.Having an active lifestyle can also reduce

the risk of heart disease and improve choles-terol, help with weight management andlower blood pressure. Just 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily

can have a significant impact on overallhealth and reduce the risk of heart disease.Naval Health Clinic Charleston offers many

resources to help patients maintain a hearthealthy lifestyle, to include, smoking cessationfitness and nutrition classes. If you're a TRI-CARE beneficiary, and would like more infor-mation about these classes, contact the NHCCWellness Clinic at 843-794-6910 or schedule aconsultation with your primary care physician.

By Dorian Holnes2015 S.C. Military Youth of the Year

Fighting over whose turn it was on GameCube, basketballgames on hardwood gym floors and, most important of all,snack time. These are times I shared inside the Youth Centerand that I cherish the most from my childhood. From trainingwheels to a big boy bike, from the first day of elementaryschool to the first day of high school, Youth Programs havebeen one of the only consistent things in my ever changinglife as a military dependent.Air Force Youth Programs are more than just a place to

send kids while parents are at work or deployed; they aremore than just another after school program. They are builtwith structures, ceilings and a foundation but they truly createstructure and a great foundation within a person. YouthPrograms staff taught me how to become a leader. Theyshowed me all of the potential I had within myself and how toflourish with my talents. Childhood is a difficult time.I can remember times when I honestly couldn't see what

my purpose in life was but they have shown me that I matter.

The staff have shown me that my ideas and thoughts are heardand are important, which is something I feel that every youthand teen needs. The youth need someone to believe in themand the staff at Youth Programs fills that spot. As cliché as itsounds, they are truly a second home, full of familiar facesthat becomes family over time.My special bond with the Youth Center heightened when

my teen advisor recommended me to become a part of the AirForce Teen Council. As part of the Council, I have been givenan amount of responsibility that I never experienced before inmy life. I am currently serving my second term on the AirForce Teen Council and I cannot express what a marvelousexperience it has been.The fact that I represent almost a million military youth is

just flabbergasting to me! The Air Force Teen Council hasgreatly assisted me in overcoming many of my personal chal-lenges. Prior to becoming active in the council, I was a shy,awkward, 14 year old who did not seem to fit in. Programslike the Youth Center and participating in Air Force TeenCouncil broke me out of that shell. Briefing four-star generals,orchestrating programs for thousands of teens around the

world and establishinglifelong connections arejust a small sample ofthings I have been able toaccomplish because of thecouncil and participatingin Youth Programs.The staff at the Youth

Center carried me out of alingering feeling of notbelonging, my anxietytowards public speakingand they showed me the many opportunities and directions Icould go with my life. I have a passion for cinematographynow. I may have never found this if it was not for YouthPrograms. After participating in various technology camps atthe club, I realized that it is something that I would enjoydoing for the rest of my life. The Youth Center has been aguiding light in my overall development and that is somethingthat I can only hope to give to youth like me as the NationalYouth of the Year.

Caught dirty-handedBy Tech. Sgt. Tiffany York628 AMDS/SGPM

Effective hand hygiene is critical in the defenseagainst the spread of many illnesses including the com-mon cold and flu. However, the sad reality is many peo-ple do not wash their hands adequately or frequentlyenough. As a nation, we are caught "dirty-handed"when it comes to our hand washing habits. Studiesshow one in five people don't wash their hands and ofthose that do "wash" only 30% use soap, the remaining70% just use water. The result is fecal matter and otherillness-causing germs remain on our hands spreading toeverything and everyone we touch.

To keep germs and infections at a minimum, theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)urges individuals to increase the frequency of handwashing and provides details on how improve handhygiene techniques. Below are five simple yet effec-tive steps to hand washing:

Step 1. Wet your hands with clean water and applysoap

Step 2. Lather your hands by rubbing them togetherwith the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands,between your fingers, and under your nails

Step 3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.Need a timer? Sing the "Happy Birthday" song frombeginning to end twice

Step 4. Rinse your hands well under clean, runningwater

Step 5. Dry your hands using a clean paper towel orair dry them

Washing with soap and water is the best way toreduce the number of germs on your hands. If soap andwater are unavailable, it is okay to use an alcohol-basedhand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the

number of germs on hands in some situations but sani-tizers do not eliminate all types of germs.

The majority of Americans understand effectivehand washing techniques can prevent the spread ofgerms but they may not fully understand when to wash.According to the CDC, onaverage, one personcan come into contactwith 300 surfacesexposing them tomore than8 4 0 , 0 0 0germs every30 minutes.This is proof somepeople aren't washing theirhands regularly and is another reason why we shouldwash our hands more often. The activities listed beloware some examples of when hand washing is recom-mended:

• Before, during, and after preparing food• Before eating• Before and after caring for someone who is sick• Before and after treating a cut or wound• After using the restroom• After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has

used the restroom• After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing• After touching a pet, pet food/treats or animal waste• After touching garbageRemember, by practicing good hand hygiene, you

are protecting yourself, your family and others aroundyou. Don't get caught "dirty handed." Wash your handsregularly! For more information please contact PublicHealth at 843-963-6958 or visit www.CDC.gov/hand-washing/.

Story and photo by Tech. Sgt. Lynette Olivares133rd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

ST. PAUL, Minn. – During a 2013 deployment inAfghanistan, Staff Sgt. Taylor Savage was in a vehicle hit by animprovised explosive device. She suffered extensive life-threat-ening injuries and has undergone multiple surgeries.She arrived in Minnesota last fall for the reconstruction of her

pelvis at Hennepin County Medical Center. Savage and hermother stayed at the hospital several weeks before moving to ahotel near the Mall of America to recover from the surgery beforebeing cleared to leave Minnesota.Minnesota military members and Minnesotans around the

metro took it upon themselves to make this wounded Airman feelat home during her recovery. “I had the opportunity to visit with Savage and her mom just

before Christmas and witnessed the outpouring of generousdonations and support from around the Twin Cities,” said ChiefMaster Sgt. Kelly Wilkinson, Airman and Family ReadinessProgram manager at the 133rd Airlift Wing.The family received dozens of donations, gifts and other items

that made them feel a little more comfortable during recoveringwhile away from home.“After many individuals heard of her story, they rallied and

helped this family feel at home while being away from home dur-

ing the holidays,” said Wilkinson. “Both mom and Taylor haveexpressed to me their deepest appreciation for the people ofMinn. [sic] and have said numerous times that they have neverbeen treated so well during this terrible ordeal as they have inMinn. [sic]. She received magnificent medical care at HennepinCountry Medical Center and they are both overwhelminglyastounded by the generosity of the people here.”The greatest act of the generosity came from metro

Minnesota military members when Savage was scheduled toleave. The 133rd Operations Group, 210th Civil Engineers,109th Aeromedical Squadron, 109th Aeromedical EvacuationSquadron and other key leadership at the 133rd Airlift Wingstepped up to help get this airman back home to South Carolina. Savage and her mom needed assistance transporting her from

the hotel to the aircraft when she leaves Minnesota, because animportant issue is that she has to be transported by litter.Members throughout the 133rd Airlift Wing teamed up togetherto help pack her things, transport her and her belongings, and gether on a flight back home; to include a traditional member of the133rd Airlift Wing who works at North Memorial full-timestepped up and volunteered with a co-worker to provide trans-portation via ambulance for Savage and her mom.“She is one of the most resilient people I have ever met,” said

Chief Steven Randall, 133rd Communication Flight chief andalso a patient who underwent surgery like Taylor by the same

doctor. “I know she was in good hands, and I wanted her to seeme that in just a few more months she can be up and walkingaround like I am.”Taylor is originally from 628th Medical Group and was

deployed with the Army as a first responder. She returned to ScottAir Force Base for continued care and to be closer to her family.
