topic of suicide prevention, safety and improving the wingman culture. It was a success

across the board, as our Airmen took advantage of this pause to strengthen and reaffirm our commitment to each other as we accomplish the mission our Nation has set before us.

On channeling information up chain, I would like to say thank you to all the First Term Airmen Center Airmen out there who have spoken up to give their perspectives on support around Joint Base Charleston. In particular, I'd like to single out a few First Term Airmen who took lead during their FTAC class to provide further in-depth feedback on what was on the class's mind. These folks include Airman 1st Class Corey McClure, 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron; Airman 1st Class Nate Diefenbach, 437th Maintenance Squadron; Airman 1st Class Sonia Ludwig, 628th Force Support Squadron; Airman 1st Class Seth Dunworth, 15th Airlift Squadron; Airman 1st Class William George, 628th Communications Squadron; and Airmen 1st Class Danielle Binder, John Johnson and Brendan Schneider, 437thAircraft Maintenance Squadron.

From advocating free Wi-Fi and cable in all dorm rooms to help for married Airmen and their spouses, they did a superb job in collecting the thoughts of their fellow Airmen and sending them directly to me. While free Wi-Fi and cable may never be realized, we have made changes at our dining hall and other locations based on their feedback. More changes will be coming as we work to ensure our sponsor program is fully engaged and our spouse support is strong.

Communication is the life blood of leadership as it carries the commander's intent to the troops on the line and in return, provides the feedback that underpins future decisions. Make it a daily, deliberate act and ensure some part of it is the old fashion "eyeto-eye," "reach out and touch" kind.

One of the fundamental pillars to leadership is communication, as I'll contend we don't have a whole lot of mind readers in our units. So, if our Airmen aren't telepathic, we're going to have to talk and write to them if we want them to know something. Equally important, we're going to have to ensure the message was received. And it goes up channel as well as we should never assume our leaders are aware of a problem unless we've told them about it.

Communication is more than sending out an e-mail to all your troops telling them to have a safe weekend or to adhere to the latest change to regulations. Some part of the dialogue has to involve actually looking folks in the eye and having a conversation with them. The May 1 0 Mission Stand Down was a reaffirmation of this time honored concept. For six hours, our members met in small groups within their squadrons and looked each other in the eye to discuss the tough

Nurses celebrate uniqueness at Joint Base Charleston

sional is well educated in anatomy, physiology, assessment, disease processes and prevention, drug therapy and alternative treatment of both adults and children. Military nurses hold a Bachelors of Science Degree in Nursing and most hold a graduate degree in one of the nursing specialties or related field, as well as a national specialty certification. We are highly skilled, technologically savvy, prevention-focused and we save lives.

Most nurses enter this profession for the challenges and satisfaction they anticipate, it feels great to know you've made a difference in someone's life, from helping a family welcome a new baby into their lives, supporting a family as they lose a loved one or helping our Airmen, Soldiers, Seamen and Marines return to life at home. The opportunities in nursing are boundless: inpatient, outpatient clinical nursing, nursing education, informatics, home healthcare, nurse practitioners, anesthesia and midwifery are just a few. There are more than 60 professional nursing organizations who promote excellence and offer specialty certification, including the American Nurses' Association. In

almost all states, nurses are required to maintain competencies through annual continuing education.

In addition to civilian requirements, Air Force nurses are held to the same stringent standards as all Air Force officers, and are integral to the success of our worldwide deployable Air Force Medical Service Expeditionary Medical Support readiness mission.

There are more than 3,000 nurses serving on active duty. At the Joint Base Charleston clinic more than 20 nurses work in various areas, making very significant and unique contributions to the success of the aerospace mission from the Family Health Clinic, Flight Medicine Clinic, Disease Management, Case Management and Utilization Management.

The American Nurses' Association has designated May 6-12 as National Nurses' Appreciation week. It honors the nursing profession and the contributions nurses have made across the globe. It also encourages Americans to consider nursing as a profession to support the wellness of our country. Remember to thank a nurse.

Imagine if you made the right choice

By Stu Wyatt

628th Air Base Wing safety office

Just imagine you are in a different country, with different laws and customs. You are with a group, out late at night. Collectively you decide to go to an all-hours club across the street from your hotel. In order to reach your destination you have to cross a wide, six-lane roadway. There are barriers on both sides to keep pedestrians off the road, however, there is a pedestrian tunnel under the roadway. The pedestrian tunnel is unlit and you suspect it may be unsafe. What do you do? Take the pedestrian tunnel, jump the fence, call a cab or possibly just go to your room?

Imagine you grew up in a town only three hours from your current work location. You are released from duty early and decide to ride your motorcycle home. When you get home you go to a friend's house and start to party. At midnight you stop drinking and try to call for someone to pick you up. Your friend can't come right

then, so you just hang out with your friends. At around 2 a.m. you get a call from your significant other. Your friends notice that you appear upset. At 3:30 a.m. you get another call from her and she asks you to come over. It has been three-and-a-half hours since you quit drinking. Do you ride your bike or stay put?

Imagine you are at home for the Fourth of July. You regularly go home to visit and you are intimately familiar with the roads. You have been drinking at your cousin's house most of the day. It is near dusk and you plan to shoot fireworks off at a nearby location, 10 miles away. Do you drive, wait for a ride or just stay there?

Imagine you were having drinks at a nearby tavern. Your girlfriend works at the establishment. You have not been getting along well lately. While having drinks you find pictures posted on the Web of your girlfriend with someone else. You are both angry and a bit drunk; you want to confront your girlfriend. While you have a place at the dorms, you have also been living together off and on. You go to the dorms and can stay the night, but you really want to con-

front her when she gets offwork. What do you do? Stay at the dorms and sleep it off, then confront her when sober or get in your car and try to follow her home?

All of these are real life scenarios resulting in the death of a military member. In each of these situations the member made the wrong choice and it cost them their lives. Their death devastated family and friends. Some families may never recover from these events. None of these people were bad in anyway, they just made a bad decision. Every decision, no matter how small, has consequences.

If you try to walk across a high-speed motorway you may make it, or you may be ran over and killed by car. If you get on a bike after being up all day and having a few drinks, you may make your destination, but that is not very likely. If you drive after drinking you may not get caught; you may get a DUI; or you may kill someone else or kill yourself.

Imagine if you made the right choice and lived another day.

Failsafe: Asking 'what if' questions

By Lt. Col. Robert Garner 341st Missile Wing Safety Office

MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. - Failsafe is a term that is embedded into our strategic heritage, but it is also a term that can be easily misunderstood and misapplied.

Knowing how to plan operations and design materiel so that it fails in a safe mode is a vital capability that is needed in all, but especially nuclear, operations.

Failsafe is defined by Merriam Webster as: "incorporating some feature for automatically counteracting the effect of an anticipated possible source of failure; being or relating to a safeguard that prevents continuing on a bombing mission according to a preconceived plan; having no chance of failure: infallibly problemfree."

How do you know an operation or system is failsafe? One technique is to use a "what if' analysis. Look at the procedures, go through each step and ask at each step, "What if it fails here?"

If the answer is a mishap, then that step is not failsafe and you can the eliminate the problem by modifying the device.

An example of this is the Otis elevator brake. Prior to the Otis device, if an elevator's cable broke, the elevator fell to the bottom of the elevator shaft. This is not a

good failure mode. As such, Elisha Graves Otis invented an elevator brake that automatically engages when the cable breaks. This is a prime failsafe example. When the cable fails, the elevator stops safely.

Other failsafe techniques involve modifying procedures. United States Navy doctrine instructs pilots to land airplanes on carriers under full power. The reason for this is that in order to stop on a carrier' an aircraft has a tail hook which must catch a cable attached to the deck of the carrier. If the cable breaks, or if the hook misses all the cables and the aircraft isn't under full power, it will likely crash into the ocean.

By being under full power upon landing, an aircraft has the ability to climb to safety. This ensures that if either the cable or the pilot's skill to catch the cable fail then the failure mode is a safe one-climbing to safety rather than going into the sea.

Some things we do when trying to create a failsafe system actually don't serve a failsafe purpose.

For example, while inspections and audits are often the first things we do to try and prevent mishaps, they often do not really make things failsafe.

If we refer to the elevator example, depending on how frequently the elevator

is inspected, inspecting the cables on a periodic basis could reduce the probability of the elevator failing. However, without the Otis device, it wouldn't reduce the catastrophic results when the elevator did fail.

Thus while inspections and audits can be a vital mishap prevention tool, you really need to use them in conjunction with

failsafe measures in order to have a failsafe system.

So, how can this apply to you? Look at the things you do at work or at home on a daily basis. Ask "what if' questions, and if the answer you get isa mishap, then try to find ways to failsafe that part of the operation by either seeking better material or changing procedures. (AFNS)

DIAMOND TIPS

By Master Sgt. Christopher Greek 628th Medical Group first sergeant

The controversial topic of quarters can actually be simplified into a quick summary using Air Force Instruction guidance and medical knowledge. Quarters essentially authorizes a full duty-day excuse provided to active duty service members receiving medical or dental treatment for a disease or injury that, based on sound professional judgment, does not require inpatient care.

A quarter's patient, treated on an outpatient basis, is to remain in their domicile during the quarter's time frame , and is generally returned to duty within a 72-hour period.

AFI41-21O, Chapter 3, Item 3.6.4. Unit commanders and supervisors have the authority to grant up to 24-hours sick status at their discretion if a member's illness or injury which does not require Medical Treatment Facility intervention. If the illness or injury persists beyond 24-hours, then the commander or supervisor must refer the member to the Medical Treatment Facility for treatment and subsequent quarters authorization.

Joint Base Charleston squadron named best in state

By Airman 1st Class Ian Hoachlander Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

Joint Base Charleston's 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron was awarded the South Carolina's Excellent Squadron of the Year award April 24 by the Air Force Association Chapter of South Carolina.

The Outstanding Air Force Squadron of the Year award recognizes the outstanding mission performance and achievement by a South Carolina based Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve or active duty Air Force squadron over the duration of the previous calendar year.

"It is the first squadron award that we won as the 628 LRS, so it's the beginning of a great history and legacy that we will leave for those coming after us," said 2nd Lt. Adrianne Schilling, maintenance support officer in charge. "It shows we are competitive as a squadron not only in the Air Mobility Command, but against other

Air Force commands."

In order for the 628 LRS to be critiqued for this award, they had to put a package together and the Air Force Association Chapter of South Carolina reviews it.

"This award is based on an assessment of general excellence in performance and achievement during the previous calendar year, however the results of the most recent inspector general inspection or the Operation Readiness Inspection must be addressed," said Eleanor Phillips, 628 LRS office manager. "In addition, any civic, humanitarian or related unit activity will be considered."

The mission of the 628 LRS is to enhance rapid global mobility and sustainment for America's armed forces by providing supplies, equipment, vehicles, war reserve material, port services and fuels valued at more than $500 million to Joint Base Charleston, which consists of one air base wing, two air mobility wings and

multiple tenant units. The 628 LRS also directs logistics planning requirements for 4,500 Airmen, 3,450 tons of equipment to include spares packages, mobility bags and weapons, as well manages resupply and retrograde of C-17 Globemaster III parts for all Air Forces Central (Command) and United States Air Forces in Europe.

Throughout the past year, the 628 LRS garnered the IG Team Award, obtained the AMC IG Team Recognition Award, attacked the 2009 AMC Unit Compliance Inspection and was rated "Excellent," where the UCI team chief stated, "LRS is 1st-rate."

In addition to the 628 LRS accomplishing their mission throughout the year, they have also been known for their civic and humanitarian contributions.

"The 628 LRS has raised $12,000 for charities with community partners, dedicated 3,300 hours of service to 32 events and touched 97,000 tri-county residents," said

Mrs. Phillips. "We have also sponsored 13 social events, fielded 11 sports teams and ran three family programs, which highlighted Airmen taking care of Airmen. The squadron also helped raise $63,000 for research on Leukemia and Lymphoma."

Currently, Joint Base Charleston is in the implementation stages of merging with the Naval Weapons Station Charleston, and once it is completely stood up in October 2010, the logistics readiness squadron's workload will increase significantly as they pick up more vehicles, ships, boats and other assets from the Navy.

"Everyone is working extremely hard due to the merging of Joint Base Charleston, the Afghanistan surge and the daily operations tempo," said Lieutenant Schilling. "The Airmen of the 628 LRS are doing an outstanding job, which can be seen from the group and wing level awards. Our goal as a squadron is to continue working at excellence in all we do."

LRS Airman named AF Logistics Plans Airman of the Year

What does it take to be the best of the best? Just ask Senior Airman Heather Hogrebe.

Airman Hogrebe, who is a member of the 628th Logistics Readiness Squadron, was recently named the Air Force's 2009 Logistics Plans Airman of the Year.

According to the call for nominees, "this award recognizes individuals who have excelled in performance and have made outstanding contributions to the Air Force mission."

Airman Hogrebe's leadership thought she fit the bill. "Airman Hogrebe has out-shined her peers by performing as a leader," said Tech. Sgt. Nikki Purvis, the non-

commissioned officer in charge for wing deployments and Airman Hogrebe's supervisor. "Her dedication to the mission is never wavering and her achievements are just the tip of the iceberg."

Some of Airman Hogrebe's accomplishments include coordinating wing deployment taskings by scheduling the processing of 175 passengers and 26 short tons with 100 percent accuracy, providing constant combatant commander support.

She also directed the logistics footprint with other wing agencies to ensure the receipt of more than 2,600 thousand passengers from 70 origins. Her actions ensured 25 missions provided on-time delivery of vital personnel assets to three areas of responsibility.

437 AW wins big at 201 0 Salute to the Military

By Trisha Gallaway


The 437th Airlift Wing walked away as a double winner during the 2010 Salute to the Military May 6 at the North Charleston Convention Center.

The 2010 Salute to the Military is the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce's premiere event to recognize the strong relationship between the region's local government, business community and military commands.

Tech. Sgt. Jeremiah Spurgeon, 437th Maintenance Squadron, was the winner in event's enlisted category.

Sergeant Spurgeon was recognized for his role in leading personnel in the disassembly, cleaning, inspection, reassemblyand supply requisitioning of main and nose wheel and tire assemblies for C-17 aircraft at Charleston AFB and overseas locations including Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the past 12 months, he has volunteered roughly 585 hours of his time to different organizations in the local community, including the Family Circle Cup and the Palmetto Land Baptist Church.

The Holiday Inn Express and Suites, which is managed by

Ms. Cheryl Clark, a 437thAirlift Wing Honorary commander, was the winner in the business category.

The hotel was recognized for its efforts in supporting multiple base activities such as the Air Force Spouses Holiday Cookie Drive and the Annual Charleston AFB Picnic. The Holiday Inn also encourages superior performance among Charleston Airmen by sponsoring the Airman Leadership School John Levitow graduates, who demonstrate outstanding leadership and scholastic qualities throughout the course.

Scott Lewis, a member of the 437th Operations Support Squadron, was nominated in the civilian category for his work as an aircrew flight equipment foreman. Mr. Lewis is responsible for 62 people in the maintenance, inspection, repair and installation of more than 150,000 pieces of aircrew life sustaining equipment.

Mr. Lewis is also active in the local community where he is an American Red Cross VIP donor; in 2009 he donated six pints of blood and inspired others to donate as well. He also repaired unserviceable Morale Wellness and Recreation equipment and saved $50,000 in morale funds.

It is people like Sergeant Spurgeon, Ms. Clark and Mr.

Lewis who are the faces of Team Joint Base Charleston.

YoAFF provides

financial planning and family fitness for JB CHS

By 2nd Lt. Susan Carlson


ilies. The level of ability is better accommodated to family fitness.

"The new equipment will be set up almost like a fitness playground area. It will be similar to an outdoor mall gymnasium," said Master Sgt. Tina Todaro, the section chief at the base fitness center.

The location is yet to be determined, but will be in an area easily accessible to Airmen and their families.

These two grants were part of an initiative from Air Mobility Command headquarters for any AMC base that proposed ideas. Joint Base Charleston applied for a number of grants for different projects and received approval for both of these.

"The command did a really good job of trying new initiatives and spreading the money--we all got different things, depending on the interest of the base," said Linda Caldwell, the point of contact for all JBC's Year of the Air Force Family initiatives.

Year of the Air Force Family began in July 2009 as a year long reminder of the importance of Airmen and their families. Joint Base Charleston has been continuously providing activities for YoAFF such as "Deplayment" for deployed family members, the monthly deployed spouses' dinner and much more. The YoAFF ends this July, but the continued effort to support the Air Force family will remain constant.

For more information on YoAFF initiatives and programs, please contact the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 963-4406.

When the Year of the Air Force Family grant money came out in April allotting $430k, Joint Base Charleston was delighted to find two of their proposals had been approved.

One successful proposal included financial planning directed at children ages 5-8 and their families. The Airman and Family Readiness Center coordinated the visit of "It's a Habit" Sammy Rabbit to talk to children about saving money.

"The program is designed for children to get them thinking about saving money as a habit--the songs are catchy and the kids just love the costumes," said Elsa Summers, the sponsor from the Airman and Family Readiness Center for this event.

Sammy Rabbit visited Hunley Park Elementary and Lambs Elementary schools before coming to speak at the Youth Center and Library here at JB CHS. The "It's a Habit" company focuses on educating children and their families on fiscal responsibility as well as other empowering life skills and habits.

In accordance with the Air Force's increasing fitness standards, JB CHS's Fitness Center was also pleased to find they will be receiving funding for outdoor fitness equipment. The Sports Play Family Fitness proposal included outdoor circuit training equipment, similar to that of a fitness trail, but is geared more toward fam-

Airmen from the 628th Force Support Squadron attend Wingman Stand Down Day to help prevent suicides and private motor vehicle accidents at the Gaylor Dining Facility on

Joint Base Charleston, S.C., May, 10, 2010. The stand down day was ordered by the Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz to halt the rising number of Airmen who are dying in reckless

accidents or suicides. This year alone, 19 Airmen have committed suicide and are making it the sec-

ond leading cause of death in the Air

Force.

Wingman Stand Down Day Raises Awareness About Suicide and Reckless Behavior

Lt. Col. Richard Sanders speaks to Airmen from the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron about Wingman Stand Down Day to help prevent suicides and private motor vehicle accidents at the Gaylor Dining Facility on Joint Base Charleston, S.C., May, 10, 2010.

Master Sgt. Shawn McKeen speaks to Airmen from the 628th Force Support Squadron about Wingman Stand Down Day to help prevent suicides and private motor vehicle accidents at the Gaylor Dining Facility on Joint Base Charleston, S.C., May, 10, 2010. Common reckless behavior that leads to an accident are speeding, texting while driving, and drinking and driving.

Airmen from the 628th Security Forces Squadron attend Wingman Stand Down Day to help prevent suicides and private motor vehicle accidents at the Gaylor Dining Facility on Joint Base Charleston, S.C., May, 10, 2010. Common indicators for individuals contemplating suicide are a shift in personality, giving away possessions and with drawl from every day activities

Officials still seeking those impacted by stop-loss

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas - More than 2,600 current and former Airmen have been approved for retroactive stop-loss special pay since Air Force Personnel Center officials at Randolph AFB began accepting claims in September.

Officials continue to seek Airmen who were involuntarily held on active duty between Sept. 11,2001, and Sept. 30,2009, to determine if they might be eligible for the special pay compensation of $500 for each month they were affected. Eligibility includes active, retired and former service members as well as members of the Reserve component

who served on active duty while their enlistment or period of obligated service was involuntarily extended, or whose eligibility for separation or retirement was suspended as a result of stop-loss.

Eligible individuals have until Oct. 21, 2010, to file their claim with AFPC. Claims are being evaluated based upon historical records as well as all supporting documentation the applicant may submit. Officials here have received more than 3,200 claims to date with just about 100 still pending review or approval determination.

Of the fewer than 500 claims disapproved, Lt. Col. Damon Mendez, chief of the AFPC Separations Branch cites two chief reasons those claims have been found to be ineligible.

Remote detonation

Dave McQueen films U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Brandon Waide as he operates a remote control used to detonate two blocks of C-4 explosives during the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Media Day on Joint Base Charleston, S.C., May 7,2010. The two blocks of C-4 are the maximum amount of explosives which can be detonated on the range at JB CHS. Members of the local media were invited to come learn about what EOD does. Sergeant Waide is an EOD technician with the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron. Mr. McQueen is a videogra-

pher with ABC News Channel 4.

First, while a member's Air Force specialty code was affected by stop-loss, the individual's desired date of separation or retirement date was not impacted involuntarily. Second, the member accepted a selective re-enlistment bonus subsequent to being affected by stop-loss, which by law disqualifies the member for the stop-loss special pay.

The 2009 War Supplemental

Appropriation Act set aside $534.4 million for the retroactive stop-loss special pay compensation authority. Air Force officials used stop-loss for Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001 and 2002 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.

To file a claim, eligible members or legally designated beneficiaries may download a stop-loss claim application at www.afpc.randolph.af.millstoploss. Applicants who were serving in the Reserve or Guard at the time of stop-loss may apply by visiting the Air Reserve Personnel Center website at https:llarpc.afrc.af.millvPC-GR.

"If you are unsure as to whether or not you are eligible, apply," Colonel Menendez urged. "You have nothing to lose and potentially $500 or more to gain."

For more information on program eligibility and claims instructions, visit the Air Force Personnel Center personal services website or call the Total Force Service Center at 800- 525-0102. (AFNS)

AETC commander to retire

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas - Air Force officials announced May 10 that the commander of Air Education and Training Command will retire after 37 years of service.

Gen. Stephen R. Lorenz spent the last two years providing combat-focused training to every Airman entering the Air Force while leading the "First Command." With an emphasis on innovation, he watched the command morph into a force capable of training more than 340,000 students per year using the most advanced training technologies and platforms.

Responsibility for Air Force recruitment, training, education and innovation will go to Lt. Gen. Edward A. Rice, Jr., currently serving as U.S. Forces Japan and 5th Air Force commander at Yokota Air Base, Japan. He was nominated by President Barack Obama March 17 to be the Air Force's next four-star general.

General Rice is a 1978 Air Force Academy graduate and a command pilot with more than 3,800 flying hours. As commander of the 28th Air Expeditionary Wing, he commanded bomber operations during the first


four months of Operation Enduring Freedom.

General Rice returns to AETC after commanding Air Force Recruiting Service from May 2002 to January 2004. Prior to his current assignment, he was vice commander of Pacific Air Forces. (AFNS)

Chairman tells service members it's okay to get help

FALLS CHURCH, Va. - The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff wants service members to know it is okay to get help for behavioral health-related conditions. In a new video spotlighting Tricare's behavioral health care benefits, Adm. Mike Mullen sends a strong message to service members struggling with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression.

"If you feel as though you or a close family member needs help, please don't wait. Tell someone," Admiral Mullen said. "Asking for help may very well be the bravest thing you can do."

In the four-minute video at

www.tricare.mil/mentalhealth, Admiral

Mullen urges troops to tell someone in their chain of command if they are having difficulties working through stress from deployments or the demands of military life. These are issues all service members may have at one time or another and, Admiral Mullen said, by ignoring them service members can hurt not just themselves, but their family, friends and fellow service members.

Tricare's new mental health options allow beneficiaries to seek help in a more private manner. The Tricare Assistance Program brings short-term professional counseling assistance straight into the home. Beneficiaries with a computer, Web cam and the associated software can speak "face-toface" with a licensed counselor over the Internet at any time of the day or night.

TRIAP is available in the United States to active duty service members, those eligible for the Transition Assistance Management Program and National Guard and Reserve members enrolled in Tricare Reserve Select. It also is available to their spouses of any age, and to other eligible family members 18 years of age or older.

The video also features Marine Corps Sgt.

Josh Hopper, who shares his experiences with seeking help for post-traumatic stress disorder after two deployments to Iraq. Hear more of his story and others at www.realwarriors.net.

Airman 1 st Class Colleen McDevitt - 628th Civil Engineer Squadron

Airman 1st Class Colleen McDevitt is a member of the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron and has been stationed at Joint Base Charleston for two years.

Airman McDevitt is a structural journeyman and is tasked with maintaining all buildings at Joint Base Charleston, including the barriers and gates. Other duties include hanging drywall, welding, frame work and duct work.

According to Airman McDevitt, what she likes best about her job is it brings her a new challenge every day.

"There are not many females in my career field," explained Airman McDevitt. "I am the only female in my shop, so it gives me a new challenge every day. It is empowering working a career field dominated by men and I enjoy showing them I can hold my own."

This "warrior of the week" hails from California and joined the Air Force in Oct. 2007.

"A close family friend retired as a chief master sergeant in the Air Force," said Airman McDevitt. "He inspired me

and told me how I would have great potential in the Air Force."

When she isn't working, Airman McDevitt enjoys volunteering, donating blood and looking for more opportunities to broaden her view of the Air Force.

"I have done lots of different volunteering at Joint Base Charleston, including Habitat For Humanity," Airman McDevitt said. "It is directly related to my job in the Air Force, so it is good on the job training. I also just finished six months with Joint Base Charleston's Honor Guard. It was an experience I will never forget. Airmen should volunteer for this program ... you come to appreciate those who served before you."

Airman McDevitt plans to make a career out of the Air Force and wants to retire as a chief master sergeant.

"My goal is to retire a chief master sergeant like Chief John Williams, who is near and dear to my heart," Airman McDevitt said. "I want to make him proud."
