Blaine Yelton was born Aug. 12, 1915, when World War Iwas in its second bloody year.And if he could have had his way, and if the Army could

have found a uniform small enough to fit him, baby Blaineprobably would have jumped out of his crib and fought in thatwar too.After all, this now 99-year old veteran fought in World War

II, Korea and Vietnam and probably would still be in uniformtoday if he could get an age-limit waiver."I wouldn't be able to drive though," Yelton said with dis-

appointment in his voice. "They took my driver's license awayfrom me a few years back. Even though I'm a good driver andnever had a problem, they still say I shouldn't drive. "That wasn't always the case though. He's the product of a

lifetime of hard, back-breaking work.Born in Rutherford County, N.C., about 20 miles from the

nearest town, Yelton is the second oldest of 11 children. Hisfather worked hard to support his family in the foot hills of theBlue Ridge Mountains, but it was always tough making endsmeet."It was hard to make a living in that part of the country,"

Yelton recalls. "We didn't have electricity. Our running waterwas the creek out back and school was a two-mile walk ... orrun through muddy roads."

In order to help his family financially, Yelton leftschool at 15 and went to work at a logging camp.He didn't stop working for decades."I worked in a mine, a saw mill, drove a logging

truck and even a feed truck in Miami, stacking 100-pound bags higher than myself," Yelton said. "Moneywas tight; it was the beginning of the depression so Iwould find work where I could and was always send-ing money home to help the family."And then came Dec. 7, 1941, and with it, a draft

notice."When I got my draft notice, I was 25. I tried to

join the Navy, but they turned me down because ofmy eyesight," Yelton said. "I had traveled all nighton the railroad and I was tired and bleary eyedwhen I took the eye exam. I tried to explain that tothe docs, but they didn't want to hear it. So I saidyou [can keep your Navy] and that turned out to bethe best day of my life. I went into the Army and then rightinto the Army Air Corps."He trained at Great Falls, Texas, and became a gunner on a

B-24 home based in Guadalcanal. From there, the 10 menassigned to his aircraft flew 55 missions against the Japanese."In Europe, the crews flew 25 missions before they could

go home," Yelton said. "In the Pacific, our tour of duty wasone full year. So we just kept flying. I knew the dangers ... Iknew the risks we were taking, but for some reason, it didn't

worry me one bit."Amazingly, his entire crew survived all 55 missions with

only one injury; Yelton himself was hit by a 20 mm roundfrom a Japanese Zero, a wound he doesn't talk about much, orone that slowed him down.When World War II ended, Yelton decided to stay in the

Army and in 1947, transitioned to the newly formed AirForce.

To assist computer users with Information Technologyrelated problems and to transition from telephone help deskreporting, the Air Force is installing self-help software on

users desktops. The Virtual Enterprise Service Desk or vESD,will roll-out Nov. 24, 2014 at Joint Base Charleston. The vESD tool, installed as an icon on network computer

desktops, is a client-based program that allows users to solvecommon issues and self-initiate trouble tickets for e-mail,desktop, laptop and mobile devices.

“The vESD application will eliminate the need for waitingon the phone for nearly 45 minutes just to tell someone youhave a computer related problem,” said Capt. Helen Cruz,628th Communications Squadron Cyber Operations Flightcommander. “The program was designed to save the usertime and to reduce the Communications Focal Pointresources and man hours.” With a customer base of more than 650,000 people, the Air

Force ESD's automated phone system had been significantlyoverburdened. Technical Sgt. Charles White, Joint Base Charleston

Communications Focal Point NCOIC, said not only is theprogram faster to use, it is also more user friendly. “The program will automatically collect computer informa-

tion and run self-diagnostics to determine if your internet, email

and other programs are currently working,” White said. “Thereis no longer a need to find your computer’s MAC address whichcan be a daunting task to someone who is not familiar with com-puters. The program will give us that information automaticallyand will even create a work ticket for you.”According to White, the ESD is not closing, it is transform-

ing its business processes on more proactive tasks. “Like anything new it takes time to get used to change, but

with the help of users and the reduced time spent on the phoneon both ends, IT related problems will be streamlined throughthe vESD,” White said. To access the program, click on the vESD icon on the desk-

top which will provide step-by-step instructions to identify anissue. If necessary vESD will create a trouble ticket to have theissue fixed. The tool will automatically open an electronic tick-et containing account and computer information, a computerdiagnostics report and a description of your issue. Users willstill have the ability to check ticket status by accessing the ESDportal at https://esd.us.af.mil//esdportal/MyTickets.aspx. Please direct any questions to the Communications Focal

Point at 628cs.cfp@us.af.mil.

THINK BEFORE YOU STRIKE.

JB CHS NEWS

By Chief Master Sgt. Robert Valenca628th Maintenance Support Group superintendent

We constantly use these words and say we aregrowing our Airmen, but what are we really doingin the mentorship and development process?Benjamin Franklin once said, "Tell me and I for-

get, teach me and I may remember, involve me andI learn." I think understanding and applying this thought

to the principles of mentorship at all levels willhelp us increase our Airmen's effectiveness andcreate a stronger Air Force. Most of us have been through some form of

leadership school during our military careers.Although, at times the methods taught or the indi-vidual credited with establishing the program maybe different, the cores of each leadership programtend to still be the same. In each course you willinevitably be taught about directive leadership,when you as the supervisor or mentor set the spe-cific path the individual needs to follow with littleto no input from them. I remember a master sergeant I once worked for

had a sign over his door that summed things uppretty clearly: "It's my way or the highway, and oh,by the way, I own the highway."

Although, this type of approach may have meritin some instances, it is not an effective mentorshiptool for every situation. If an Airman's every moveis dictated, how are Airmen ever going to grow?When they leave you and move to their next

assignment will they be able to continue to excel?To save time in today's day and age of accomplish-ing more with less, we can easily fall into a direc-tive method because it is easier and faster. As lead-ers we need to be cognizant of this kind of trap.Instead of giving Airmen everything they ask for

and not making them take any ownership of theprocess or their career path, we need to work toinclude them in the decisions; in fact guiding themto make the decisions for themselves.A great place to start is how you implement

feedbacks in the new evaluation system. In thefeedback, you must be honest with your Airmen.You have to mark them as you truly see their per-formance. However, you need to provide themwith a path for improvement as well. This is whereyou become a team and allow your Airmen to takesome ownership in the resolution. Let's look at an example of an Airman having

difficulty with upgrade training. The simple directive way is to require the

Airman to spend more time during duty hours

studying and to require more practice tests. It's thequick and easy fix, but what did the Airman learn? That same Airmen needs to continue on with

their career and will face many more Air Forcetests in the future. Will someone be there to settime limits for their studying then? Instead, blocksome time where you know you will not be dis-tracted and have a conversation to work with yourAirman in determining how they should use theirfor studying and you may be surprised as a jointtime management resolution is reached. By working through the process, Airmen will

learn and develop, allowing them to not onlypotentially succeed in future testing, but also pro-viding the added benefit of preparing them to men-tor other Airmen as they grow into leadership rolls. This is only one small example, but if you apply

this method in your mentoring and developmentpractices, you will go a long way to ensuring theAirmen you serve will be involved and learn asthey grow with you and not just hear it and forget.Understanding how to be good mentors will be

vital as we move forward with the major changesin force structure, promotion and evaluation ourAir Force faces in the very near future. No one saidit will be easy, but I believe nothing worthwhileever is.

Mentorship and development

By Airman 1st Class Sydney Manning628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

When I stepped into Burns Elementary last Friday, I had no idea that Iwas about to be so deeply moved by an 11-year-old child. I just thought Iwas going to be reading to some kids as part of the United Way Day ofCaring.Reading Partners is a program that allows volunteers to tutor elemen-

tary-aged children who are half a year to two years behind their readinglevel. Each week the children spend an hour with a volunteer, learning toread in a quiet environment dedicated entirely to that purpose. And they get results. According to Reading Partners' website, during the 2012-2013 school

year, 88 percent of students in the program accelerated their rate of learningand 72 percent finished the year closer to their target grade level. For as long as I can remember, I have loved to read. Realizing these chil-

dren found it so difficult made me sad, but it meant that I was participatingin something I really loved.As it turned out, we found out that we wouldn’t be reading a story to the

entire classes. Instead, we’d each be paired with one student, to read "Oh,the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss. The children shuffled in and were told to sit wherever they wished. I

gave each of the kids a welcoming smile while thinking, “What if nobodywants to sit with me?”I didn’t have to worry. A young boy slumped into the chair next to me,

looking as though this was absolutely the last place he wanted to be. His name was Jaden and he was about to make me realize something

about myself: that I had lived a very comfortable and easy life.As we started to read together, I could see Jaden was either very shy or

very sad. Every question I asked him was met with a shrug or a one-wordanswer. I managed to find out he lived with his aunt, and his two sisterslived with his mother in New York. He wasn’t even sure of his newest littlesister’s name. I tried lightening the mood with my best jokes as we got toknow each other.

When that didn't work, I thought it would be best if we just got into thebook.“Would you like to read or should I?” I asked. Shrug. “I’ll start!” I said brightly. “Congratulations! Today is your day! You’re

off to Great Places! You’re off and away!” As I read through the first few pages, I realized he wasn’t really getting

anything out of me reading to him. “Would you like to read to me?” I finally asked. He gave a hesitant nod. That’s when he blew me away. “Oh, the places you’ll go! You’ll be on

your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high-fliers tosoar to high heights!” Every word was certain, as if he’d read them all a thousand times before.

He only stumbled a few times, on words that were made up or unfamiliar:prickle-ly, Hakken-Krak, Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea.“Wow! Great job!” I said when we turned the last page. “And I forgot to

tell you! You get to take this book home with you, now that we’re done. It’syours to keep.”For the first time, I saw his eyes light up. It occurred to me that he’d

probably never been given a book before. The children all filled out a paper hot air balloon with what they wanted

to be when they grew up. Jaden said he wanted to be a basketball player. Itold him I couldn’t wait to see him play for the NBA. When everyone was done, we all crowded together to get a group photo.

The teachers told the children to line up, it was time to go. Jaden hesitatedbefore throwing his arms around my waist. I hugged him back and felt thatfor the first time in a few months I’d done something that really made a dif-ference.Although this was just one day of 365 days of giving, this year’s Day of

Caring made me realize that I can make a difference. Jaden taught me thatwhat seems like a small gift to me might mean the world to a child. I can’twait to volunteer next year!

"I liked the work. I liked to shoot, I liked the aircraft and Iliked flying. And depending on the crew and the mission,occasionally I even got to sit at the controls and fly," Yeltonsmiled. He would see more action in Korea. As a crew chief on a

C-47, he would transport wounded soldiers to Japan, dropsupplies to the Marines on the ground and haul ammunitionand barbed wire.When the fighting in Korea ended, Tech. Sgt. Yelton found

himself performing maintenance on C-124s at Hunter Fieldnear Savannah, Ga."I was in the "Big Shakies," C-124 cargo planes at Hunter

Field in Savannah, Ga.," Yelton said.And he met his wife Louise in West Palm Beach, Fla. As

Yelton tells it, "we just clicked."Yelton, now a seasoned veteran of two wars, settled down

a bit to raise a family: "I'm really proud of my two girls," hegrinned, and continued to do what he did best; work on air-planes and take care of his troops.One of his favorite stories is about the time his squadron in

Rhein Main, Germany, had five aircraft out of commission. Anose gear bearing needed to be repaired but the repair requiredwelding torches to remove the old part, a process at that timeforbidden by Air Force Instruction."Those planes had been grounded for more than two

months. I told my commander I could put those airplanes in

commission," Yelton said. "Buthe insisted I couldn't weld on theaircraft. So I told him, 'Sir, I'mnot welding ON the aircraft, I'mwelding a steel bar on a nut onthe aircraft. It will heat the partand I can bang it off with a sledgehammer.' The commanderthought about that for a secondand said, 'Well that makes sense.Do it.' I had two planes ready tofly by the end of the day!"It wasn't long before another

country on the other side of theworld was getting the attention ofthe American people: Viet Nam.And now Chief Master Sgt.Yelton would once again serve inharm's way, this time maintain-ing his squadron's 16 C-47s, ensuring they were ready andable to meet all missions."We only lost one," Yelton proudly declared.From Viet Nam, Yelton returned to the U.S., eventually

landing at Charleston Air Force Base where he spent the lasttwo years of his career working on C-141s as part of the 437thAirlift Wing.

"That was a fine airplane," Yelton said."It didn't require half the maintenancesome of the older planes did."Time eventually caught up with the old

chief master sergeant and it was time toretire. But in typical Blaine Yelton fashion,retirement from the military only meant hecould go find something else to do. "I worked for five years hauling fuel.

Then I went back to North Carolina whereI had bought over 400 acres and raised cat-tle for seven or eight years," Yelton said."Now that was hard work."Yelton credits his life of hard work to

his longevity."I'm a happy man," he said. "I never

smoked and I never drank anything otherthan a little wine once in a while. I go verylight on fats and heavy on fruit and salads.

I've also been lucky that I've never been overweight.”Yelton and his wife now live in Johns Island, S.C."Looking back, I would have to say I take the most pride in

making those airplanes fly and supervising the maintainers,making sure they are all ready to go," Yelton said. "And Iwouldn't change anything. I would do it better if I could, butother than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Retired Chief Master Sgt. Blaine Yelton ashe looked almost 74 years ago, when heflew 55 missions in the Pacific Theater as awaist gunner on a B-24.

Making The Transition From Military To Civilian?

By Eric Sesit628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

As the number of Ebola cases is beginning to decline andthe American population is learning to live with the fear of aworld in which Ebola is a real danger, American service mem-bers recently deployed to the front lines of the infection, bat-tling the disease overseas before it could invade our shores.Staff Sgt. Brett Randall from the 628th Medical Group at

Joint Base Charleston, S.C., was just one service memberdeployed to Liberia as part of Operation United Assistance,working to support the mission to end the scourge of Ebola.An independent duty medical technician, Randall was at anundisclosed location in Liberia for almost six weeks. "My primary mission was to provide basic medical/trauma

support for the Joint Task Force - Port Opening team toinclude public health, bio-environmental inspections of foodand water sources and sanitation education to mitigate anynon-battle related illnesses," Randall said.The JTF-PO is a joint operation and consists mainly of Air

Force and Army personnel who set up a bare base in countryand initiate cargo flow from aircraft delivering supplies to the

storage facilities where the supplies will ultimately end up inthe hands of various agencies like USAID to fight Ebola.And although Randall and his team were near the front lines

of the epidemic, they had no interaction with the locals so therisk of contracting the disease was minimal. He and his teamwere confined to their living quarters and duty locations only,tasked with taking care of the service members who were them-selves supporting the health organizations fighting the outbreak."Our living conditions were what anyone would expect at a

bare base during monsoon season ... hot and humid all day andnight," Randall said. "We had limited access to the internet orcommunications back home, but we all took turns to ensurewe got to communicate with our families. Some team mem-bers put their creative skills together and made a make shiftgym to stay physically fit when we had down time. In theevenings if we could, we got together to watch movies, playcards or play catch with a football or a Frisbee. We lived in atent city with rocks and mud everywhere so we had to makeour own entertainment."But due to mission requirements, entertainment was a low

priority."My shift was 36 hours on, eight hours off," Randall said.

"My night started with temperature screenings per DOD man-date, then two hours of clinical time to evaluate and treat any-one that needed to be seen by a medical provider. If there wereno patients, I started my water and MRE testing to ensure theresources provided were safe for consumption by our militarymembers."Working as a medical technician also took a back seat when

aircraft arrived."When a cargo plane arrived, I assisted Security Forces

with force protection measures to ensure the safety of the air-craft and air crew," Randall said.Prior to leaving at the end of his shift, Randall again

screened his team and himself to verify they were non-symp-tomatic and without a fever."Staff Sgt. Randall was the right Airman at the right time

for this mission," said Lt. Col. Raymond Clydesdale, JBCharleston's 628th Aerospace Medical Squadron commander."He lives to be out on the front lines, supporting our Airmenand leading the way by example."Although most members of the JTF-PO have left Liberia,

approximately 20 Airmen stayed behind to continue to sup-port the mission.

Virtual Roll Call, a new system implemented at the JointBase Charleston Passenger Terminal, helps passengers whoare planning on flying Space-Available. "VRC allows a Space a customer to "virtually" compete for

a Space-A seat on a particular flight," said Airman 1st ClassNicolas Hrabley, 437th Airlift Wing Aerial Port Squadronpassenger service agent. "All you need is access to an emailaccount."Signing up for Space-A travel remains the same," said 1st

Lt. Elizabeth Arrowsmith, 437th Airlift Wing passenger ter-minal flight commander. "Passengers must come to the termi-nal no more than 24-hours and no later than five hours priorto the scheduled flight in order to mark themselves present fortheir desired flight. At that time, passengers must also presentall required travel documents at the time they sign-up whichincludes ID cards for travelers 10-years or older, passports forall travelers, and leave or emergency leave authorizationpaperwork for military members." Once the passenger signs up in person, the passenger can

elect to compete for a seat using Virtual Roll Call. They'll nolonger have to wait around the terminal to see if they're bookedon a flight because VRC allows a passenger to compete fortheir flight remotely. A Passenger Service Agent will now addyou to the list of passengers and promptly notify you at theVirtual Roll Call time (typically five hours before scheduleddeparture) whether or not you have been selected for the flight,and your arrival time at the terminal for check in.Passengers competing for a flight virtually, eliminate an

additional trip to the Passenger Terminal in the event that theyare not selected for their flight."Instead of sitting around and waiting at the terminal, pas-

sengers can do other things, from preparing for their flight,going back home, or even doing some shopping," saidHrabley. "Also, when they arrive at the terminal for theirflight, all they need to do is check in. This cuts their time atthe terminal, which also helps Airmen at the PAX terminalassist other passengers.""Passengers are still able to compete for a Space-A seat at

Joint Base Charleston with whichever method they prefer, tra-

ditional or VRC. VRC simply offers a modern-day conven-ience to passengers as they use the Space-A program and issomething that we eventually may see implemented at allAMC Passenger Terminals." said Arrowsmith.The Space-Available program offers travel opportunities to

eligible personnel after mission related cargo and passengersare accommodated at no additional cost. Although passengersunderstand that this service comes with some level of unpre-dictability and change based on mission requirements, wevalue their time and continually strive to find innovative ways

to provide the best customer service possible.During high-volume travel periods like summer and holi-

day seasons, initiatives like Virtual Roll Call are intended toease travel stress in an inherently challenging period."Virtual Roll Call essentially eliminates the need for you to

be physically present for the time at which you are notified ifyou've been selected for a flight," said Arrowsmith. Flight information may be accessed via the "Joint Base

Charleston Passenger Terminal" Facebook page or by callingthe Passenger Service Center at 964-3083.

PAX terminal soars to new heights with ‘Virtual Roll Call’

Airman 1st Class Nicolas Hrabley, 437th Airlift Wing Aerial Port Squadron passenger service agent, checks the availability ofupcoming flights for passengers Nov. 17, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. Hrabley will send email notification for individualssigned up for “Virtual Roll Call” to aid in the Space-A process.

As we move forward into the holiday sea-son, many families will be without a dad,mom, brother or sister because of deploymentand TDY’s. This can be a difficult and chal-lenging time especially where small childrenare concerned. A comforting scripture thatcomes to mind when I find myself in difficultand challenging moments is, “My grace is suf-ficient for you, for when you are weak, I willmake you strong.” It is wonderful to knowthere’s a grace that will comfort and sustainme during times of loneliness, and even timesof emptiness. My wife and I just said good bye to a won-

derful sister and ministry colleague whorecently passed away. She served as our secre-tary and church administrator for more than 10years. She was only 41-years old and leftbehind a husband and three children.

As I reflected back on her life and the yearswe ministered together, I thought of the goodand not-so-good times. I laughed at the goodtimes, but felt pain when I thought on the sad-der times. As I reflected, I heard that “stillsmall voice” speak: “The grace that gave youthe good times, the fun times of your ministry,is the grace that carried you through the diffi-cult and hard times.” Just think, what it would have been like if

there had been no grace? I wiped back a cou-ple of tears and then smiled, and gave thanksfor the grace that saw me through. The painleft and the joy returned. I share this experience perhaps to encour-

age many who will experience sadness, maybeloneliness this holiday season. But rememberthis, His grace is sufficient and He will seeyou through. Let His grace and love encourageyour hearts, and keep you strong during thisHoliday season. ‘Tis the season of great grace.

‘Tis the season for grace to flow

Civilian restraining orders or orders of pro-tection differ from military protective ordersin that they are issued by a civilian court judgeand enforced by civilian law enforcement. Thestipulations of the order are decided by theissuing judge and may require that a subjectnot communicate with a person (phone, inter-net, in person, or third person), come within acertain distance, refrain from visiting a per-son’s place of employment, etc.. A servicemember or dependent may benefit fromobtaining a civilian protective/restrainingorder if they travel outside or off base. A civil-ian order may offer another level of security,safety, and comfort.

An order of protection is issued in instanceswhere the abuser is considered a family orhousehold member (a spouse or ex-spouse,intimate partner, someone you have a childcommon with, or someone of the opposite sexwho you live with.) A restraining order isissued when the subject is not a family orhousehold member and they must be able toprovided evidence of two or more instances ofharassment by the subject. Each state has their own requirements for

obtaining a protective or restraining order. Ifyou feel as though your safety is in jeopardy oryou are being harassed speak with a victimadvocate or call your local police departmentfor more detailed information on the stepsneeded to obtain a civilian protective order.

Open season for the Federal Employees Health BenefitsProgram and the Federal Flexible Spending AccountsProgram will run Nov. 10 through Dec. 8, officials announcedrecently.During open season employees and retirees will have the

chance to review their current plans and make any changesthey desire for the following year. Eligible employees who arenot currently a part of FEHB may enroll during open season.The average premium rate for the Federal Employees

Health Benefits Program will increase by 3.2 percent in 2015,according to U.S. Office of Personnel Management officials."There are two significant changes to health care and lim-

ited expense spending accounts," said Erica Cathro, an AirForce Personnel Center human resources specialist. "For thefirst time employees will be able to enroll in the flexiblespending account program for a $100 minimum deposit andcan carry over $500 in their health care and flexible spendingaccounts."The first opportunity for carry over will be at the end of

2015. Current participants will not be able to carry over fundsfrom 2014 to 2015; however, they will still have a grace peri-

od through March 15. Dependent care FSAs will continue tohave a grace period each year, but participants cannot carryover funds from one year to the next.There are no significant changes to the Federal Employee

Dental and Vision Insurance Program.In other FEHB news, some plans are opting out of the pro-

gram and terminating their enrollment codes or reducing theirservice areas. Employees can find a listing of these plans, pre-mium costs, comparison guides and individual plan brochures

on the OPM website.Cathro reminds employees that they should thoroughly

review OPM Open Season guidance before making theirselections.For more information about this and other personnel issues,
