As the sun begins to rise over the Australian outback, thevery same sun is setting for Royal Australian Air Force Sgt.Daniel Humphreys, currently assigned to the 17th AirliftSquadron as an exchange loadmaster. Humphreys will be call-ing Charleston, S.C., his home for the next few years.

In exchange for Humphreys, the U.S. Air Force is sendingTech. Sgt. Joshua Watson, 15th AS loadmaster, to Australia.

"I've always wanted to live in another country," saidHumphreys. "This exchange program is a great opportunityfor me and my family; on top of that, I get to live theAmerican lifestyle for a few years."

The first C-17 Globemaster III for the RAAF was deliveredin 2007, and the C-17 Globemaster III exchange program withthe United States Air Force began around 2008 at Hickam AirForce Base, Hawaii. The program relocated to Joint BaseCharleston, S.C. in 2010.

The C-17 exchange program consists of exchanging onepilot and one loadmaster from the RAAF with a team from theU.S.A.F. The exchange allows for both parties to gain moreknowledge on how the aircraft operates and to learn eachcountry's cultural differences.

"Since the U. S. Air Force is the primary user of the C-17and owns 223 of the world's Globemaster IIIs, the Australianair force allows us to go to their country and teach the lessonswe've learned and demonstrate certain practices," saidWatson, who is leaving for Australia mid-February."Culturally, each of us has different tactics and techniques, soit allows us to learn from them, and in turn they can learnmore from us."

Each air force has certain requirements that each individualhas to have in order to be eligible to apply.

While the U.S. allows Airmen to become loadmasters assoon as they graduate from basic training and technicalschool, the Australian air force has different procedures. Afterworking at different levels of careers in the RAAF, only thenare Airmen eligible to train as loadmasters. Once they acquirethe title of loadmaster, they become a sergeant, which isequivalent to a U.S.A.F. master sergeant.

For the exchange program RAAF Airmen must have a min-imum of 500 flying hours and have to have obtained specificqualifications in their career field. RAAF Airmen then havetheir application packages routed through their chain of com-mand who comment on each individual to ensure the mostqualified candidate is chosen. United States' Airmen must alsohave a certain number of flying hours. Being a school house

evaluator or a lead evaluator for the Special Operations LowLevel II program is a plus. Individuals must also be technicalsergeants or above to be eligible. Each application package isthen sent to the Airman's functional for review, and ifapproved, will be sent to the Pentagon for assessment.

No. 36 Squadron, RAAF Base Amberley, the only RAAFbase that has C-17's, has future plans to open a school houseat their air base. With Watson previously being a lead schoolhouse evaluator at Altus AFB; he will be a key person to helpget that started in his time in Australia. The training right nowfor a loadmaster is only held at Altus, AFB and individualsfrom other air forces will train there as well.

The C-17 exchange is a three year assignment, but bothAirmen may be given the option of extending it to four years.

"I have traveled to America a bit and it has always beenawesome working with the Americans," said Humphreys."We rely on Americans a lot. I am a big fan of the country;I'm excited to see how the other side works and to gain lifeexperience."

"I am fortunate to be able to participate in a program likethis," said Watson. "This is one opportunity that people don'tusually get to take part in. This is a very exciting experienceand I'm looking forward to being a part of everythingAustralia has to offer."

By Lt. Col. Matthew Krauchunas628th Medical Support Squadron commander

There has been much talk recently about resiliency and most of ushave attended an eight-hour resiliency class by now. The discussion andtraining are designed to help us bounce back from adversity. If we turnthe prism a bit, we come to a similar, but less talked about concept: grit.The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines grit as "firmness of mind or spir-it: unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger."

So what is the big deal about grit? Grit is a pivotal trait because it isthe essential ingredient of turning your dreams into reality. It was, andcontinues to be, the cornerstone of the "American dream." C.V. Whitestated, "The man who makes a success of an important venture neverwails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes agreat lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both."

I was watching a Ted Talks video the other day when I came acrossone about Diana Nyad. This extraordinary woman recently swam 110miles, non-stop and physically unassisted, from Cuba to Key West, Fla.The almost 53-hour swim is a remarkable feat in of itself. However, evenmore remarkable is the fact that she is the first person in the world toaccomplish this, she is 64 years old, and this was her fifth attempt. Herinitial attempt dates back to 1978 when she was in her late 20s. She nevergave up hope and worked doggedly over 35 years to turn her dream intoreality. This is a perfect example of true grit.

There are examples of grit around us every day if we take the timelook for it. Think about the senior airman taking two college classes eachsemester in her relentless pursuit of a bachelor's degree while raising afamily on her own. Consider the captain who was injured in Afghanistanand continues to rehab because he wants to take a PT test without being

on a medical profile. Take into account a civilian colleague who has hadhis wages frozen for three years, faced furloughs, but continues as a civilservant because he believes he is making a difference in the lives of ourAirmen and Sailors. On top of which, he aspires to be member of the sen-ior executive service so he can have an even greater impact. These are buta few examples of grit, but the list is practically endless.

When all is said and done, we could all use more grit. The first step isto reflect on what we hope to accomplish personally and/or professional-ly. What are your dreams? If you add those aspirations to an honestassessment of where you stand, you can formulate a path to realizing thisdream. I say "a" path instead of "the" path because life is going to knockyou around and off of this path. However, at least you will have a vectorand this will enable course corrections to help get you to where you wantto go. The final step is to never give up hope regardless of the obstacle(s)encountered - you need grit! It is continuing to kick towards Key Westdespite the onset of hypothermia, delirium, sharks in the water, or theblackness of night.

There is a bit more to the story about the Diana Nyad. She physicallycompleted the swim by herself unaided by hanging on to a float or boat.However, she had a team with her throughout her swim to monitor hersafety and provide fresh water, nourishment and encouragement. We needto do the same for our work colleagues. We need to encourage calculatedrisk taking, reward tenacity, help remove obstacles and not accept excuseswhen someone wants to quit striving for their goals. Moreover, we mustnot penalize failure when their gritty efforts fall short. To quote the origi-nal 1969 True Grit movie, "They say he has grit. I wanted a man withgrit." We should all want gritty Airmen, Sailors and civil servants in thesechallenging times. It is up to us as leaders and colleagues to do our part tohelp them succeed.

COMMENTARY

True grit for these challenging times

Commentary by Staff Sgt. Robert Corbett 628th Air Base Wing protocol specialist

The iconic "Hollywood" cowboy Will Rogersonce stated, "Even if you're on the right track,you'll get run over if you just sit there."

There is a lot to be taken from his words. Likemost Airman in our Air Force I was doing all theright things ... mastering my job, learning theroles of becoming a supervisor and it seemed Iwas on the "right track." But once all the trainingand mastering of tasks was complete, I found Iwas not challenging myself to press forward andtry something new to grow. Essentially, I was justsitting there waiting to get run over.

I decided to try something new and get out ofmy comfort zone so I began my position inProtocol a year ago. As a vehicle operator bytrade, I had worked with Protocol for years driv-ing "Distinguished Visitor" runs and providingtransportation for events. My perception of theProtocol office was that they were a liaison forthe wing commander and enforced customs andcourtesies for ceremonies. What more could theydo, right?

Rounding out my time here I have experiencedfirst-hand that Protocol does a lot more than thegeneral population sees on a daily basis.

Coming from the Logistics ReadinessSquadron where mission support is the name ofthe game, I have always been used to getting myhands dirty and working the necessary hours toget the job done. When selected for Protocol, myfirst reaction was: "I don't think I can sit at a deskall day, occupy a computer, and become an officeworker."

The first week on the job that perspective wascompletely thrown out of the window. We jumpedright into ceremonies, visits, conferences, foreignvisits ... and the list continues to this day.

Protocol was best described, in my opinion, bythe previous Joint Base Charleston DeputyCommander, Navy Captain Thomas Bailey on theday of his retirement.

"Our protocol staff is like a duck ... on the top

of the water all is calm but underneath the legsare always moving," Bailey said.

Behind the scenes, Protocol handles everythingfrom Presidential visits, to visits by military dis-tinguished visitors, foreign dignitaries and othergovernment officials. Our role included buildingitineraries with project officers, scheduling lodg-ing for their visits, coordinating transportation forevents and visits and working withCommunications and Public Affairs. I have expe-rienced interacting with local outside agencies andbase leadership. I am sure I left a few things out,but there have been numerous diverse missions atJoint Base Charleston, so anything and everythingis thrown Protocols way. You will never see thebehind the scenes preparations for what goes intothe visits for each event until you have the privi-lege to serve.

The experience I have gained through my timehere has been unexpected and invaluable. At first Ithought, "Well, I will give this job a shot, try some-thing new and if it looks good on paper, why not?"

I did not know working in Protocol would beso much more and teach me so much about theentire mission of our Air Force. Attention to detailhas never been so important. I did not think Iwould be able to coordinate events for 1,000-pluspeople or coordinate catering, transportation andtake care of more than 60 Distinguished Visitors,or did I ever think I would find enjoyment andsatisfaction in orchestrating these events.

Being on the "inside" of how the base workshas reinforced why I joined the Air Force almosteight years ago. Before working in Protocol, likemany Airmen, I got caught up in work hours,deployments, high op's tempo, low op's tempo,monotony of the mundane tasks. I believe there isa time in a lot of Airmen's careers where they losesight of the big picture and why we all raised ourright hand and swore in. Being in the mix ofthings and working alongside some of the greatestpeople I have had the privilege of working with inmy career, helping Joint Base Charleston run atfull steam and learning something new every day,has brought back that spark and reinforced why I

joined the greatest Air Force in the world. Following my selection as Joint Base Protocol

noncommissioned officer in charge, it all clickedfor me when meeting with an advance team fromthe White House preparing for a Secretary ofDefense visit. The skills I have obtained in mycareer all seemed to come full circle. Logistics? Igot that. Working with security teams? Check.Planning and organizing events? Done.

At first I was apprehensive to speak up andtake on such a task. I thought, "I am just a staffsergeant in a room full of colonels, White Housestaff and representatives of agencies that are wayabove my pay grade. But working in Protocolgave me the confidence and knowledge and tact-fulness to speak up and display my skills. Yeah, itwas stressful and required a lot of hours. But atthe end of the event, when everything went offwithout a hitch, I realized I had found my nicheand the experience I acquired enabled me to final-ly understood that preverbal "Tool Box" we hearso much about.

Stepping out of my normal career field and try-ing something new is one of the best things I havedone in the Air Force. I encourage everyone to getout of their comfort zone during their career andchallenge themselves. It doesn't have to beProtocol; there are a ton of special duties out therefrom wing level all the way down to flight. Justdo something different, push yourself, drive for-ward and don't look back. We are a like-mindedcommunity ... that is why we all serve in thisgreat military together. I know with force man-agement issues in front of us, we all have toughdecisions and big career changing events ahead,but maybe getting out of our comfort zones andchallenging ourselves with a new job, career oradventure, we can all grow stronger as Airman,civilians and citizens of this great country we aresworn to protect.

So whether you're an 0-9, an E-1 or civilian, Ichallenge everyone to step out and try somethingnew. I know it will make us all better Airmen andkeep this Air Force the greatest airpower in theworld.

Pursue challenges

Commentary by Capt. Bret Evans, Jr90th Missile Maintenance Squadron

F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. –In the fall of 1988, the hair metal band Cinderelladelivered to the world a pearl of wisdom beyondtheir years when they melodically destroyed oureardrums with "Don't know what you got (till it'sgone)." This power ballad's intended messagerefers to the harsh reality lovers face after partingways, but can also be applied to the relationshipall Airmen face -- the romance between them-selves and the Air Force.

Like any quality dramatic work, the aforemen-tioned romance has many themes that feature ourtwo characters in situations where every wave-length of the human emotional spectrum becomesvisible during an Airman's career.

The notion of a career is multifaceted, but Ibelieve the Chinese philosopher Confucius said itbest: "Find a job you love and you will neverhave to work a day in your life."

I don't exaggerate when I say that I've been for-tunate enough to be 'living the dream' in my AirForce career. After I wake up in the morning andwipe the gunk out of my eyes, I lie there andthink about being an Airman. What an honor it isto serve my God, my country and my family as amember of the most powerful military force in thehistory of the world.

This career has afforded me a job that I take

great pride in, money in my bank account, med-ical and dental coverage, and the opportunity todo a lot of the cool stuff that most just see in themovies or read about in books.

Several of you have been in a relationship withthe Air Force longer than you've known yourspouse and certainly longer than your childrenhave walked the earth. I imagine that most of youchose to devote more than the standard of 40hours each week to her. The Air Force has dressedyou nearly every morning; introduced you tofriends; been your source of grief, frustration andpride; paid you for solid work; encouraged you tobetter yourself, whether academically, ethically,physically or spiritually; dealt you discipline; andasked for your commitment more than once.

There are times when our commitment waiversand our relationships suffer. Perhaps you haven'tlived up to the core values or your oath. Have youfailed to perform beyond the standard level induty, fitness or administration? Have you soughtto better the team by sharing your talents or doyou hoard knowledge as a means of leverage?Have you exerted maximum effort in showingstellar conduct, maturity, compassion and wisdomin your relationships with superiors, peers andsubordinates?

The negative response to these questions mayresult in the deterioration and destruction of thisbeautiful romance with the Air Force that you'veworked so hard to cultivate. Another considera-

tion that perhaps worries you is the idea that therelationship you have with the Air Force will endtoo soon. This thought is always in the recesses ofmy mind every time the Air Force introduces newforce management measures.

Regardless, the essence of an Air Force romanceis like any other romance: "Put someone else firstand give them everything you have until it hurts,and then give some more," from Rock of Ages.

The Air Force romance, or any romance, can-not endure long under the practice of conditionalgiving, which was an undertone of a speech for-mer Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John Jumperdelivered in the spring of 2009. At the end of hisaddress, one quote in particular had welded itselfaround my mind: "Do the best you can with whatyou've been asked to do. Right here, right now."

What a practical message: Apply maximumeffort to those things which you actually control.Someone I greatly respect once told me that you'llonly get as much out of anything as what you putinto it. Your romance with the Air Force is no dif-ferent. In an attempt to halt this romance fromdancing to the lyrics of Cinderella's song, mycharter is simple: Do something great for yourselfand make the romance you have with the AirForce the very best it can be. If you haven't givenyour best to that relationship, you may unfortu-nately find yourself on the outside looking in andremembering that you, "Don't know what you got(till it's gone)."

Don’t know what you got (till it’s gone)

From Joint Base Charleston - Air Base Commissary

The Joint Base Charleston - Air Base Commissary willclose at 4 p.m. Feb. 23, 2014, while it undergoes a "reset" aspart of the Defense Commissary Agency's ongoing effort toenhance the shopping experience. The store will re-open Feb.26, at normal hours.

"We hate to inconvenience our customers with the closure,but this is something we'll all appreciate when it's done," saidEddie Williams, store director.

The reset is part of an agency-wide program that systemat-ically changes how products are displayed on shelvingthroughout a Commissary in order to better serve customershopping patterns. The goal is to give Commissaries world-wide a more customer-friendly product flow and a layout thatis as consistent as possible from location to location, accord-

ing to Darnell Hicks, Team Lead (Resets) DeCA's StoreOperation Team.

"Although we have to take into consideration that no twocommissaries are constructed exactly alike, a customer-friendly product flow means dog food will be next to pet sup-plies instead of the charcoal, peanut butter is best found nextto the jam, and you shouldn't have to cruise three differentaisles to find all your cleaning products. It's a simple matter ofmaking the commissary layout more sensible by resetting thestore," Hicks said.

DeCA is intent on making the Commissary shopping expe-rience faster and easier ... making the Commissary the placeto shop every day, not just on pay day. One of the priorities isto help busy, active-duty shoppers make a quick run throughtheir Commissary and get home more quickly.

The idea, is to put convenience into the shopping experi-

ence. Consistency is also part of the reset equation. Shoppersshould be able to go to different Commissaries and find basi-cally the same layout.

"We try not to inconvenience the customers while resettingstores, but we often have to close the store for a day, some-times two, in order to tear down the shelving and move it andrestock," said Williams. "Our customers usually like the newlayout once they get used to it. Sales increases always followa store reset and that's an indication that the user-friendlyproduct flow is a good change."

To make changes easier for customers to follow, storeshave aisle layout maps available as well as generic item loca-tors on their Web pages. Store

Web pages are under the locations link at http://commis-saries.com along with store hours, contact information, storenews and special customer service features.

If you're a single Airman or Sailor searching forfun and interesting activities, then look no furtherthan the Single Airman Initiative and Liberty pro-grams on Joint Base Charleston, S.C.

Both programs offer free to low cost opportuni-ties to experience a variety of recreational, educa-tional, historical and cultural programs.

The SAI program, located at JB Charleston - AirBase, is targeted for Airmen and Sailors ages 18-25, however, no age group is excluded. The Libertyprogram, located on the Weapons Station, is opento single Airmen, Sailors, and geo-bachelors, E1 -E6.

Eryn Pope, Joint Base Charleston SAI programmanager, coordinates all SAI activities and classes.While many Air Force bases have an SAI program,Joint Base Charleston is the only base with a full-time coordinator.

"Having a dedicated manager means moreinvolvement and programs," said Pope.

A few examples of the activities provided areskydiving, daily yoga classes, snowboarding, waterrafting, video game tournaments and much more.

"It's a great way for new people to meet and makeconnections," said Pope. "This program was designedwith getting Airmen out into the community."

The program manager's office is located in thedorms, which enables face to face briefings withthe Airmen. There is always constant feedback onwhat events or programs are needed to fulfill andmaintain a well-balanced military community.

"This is their (the Airmen's) program. It's whatthey make it," said Pope. "I'm just here to facilitatetheir needs."

While both Airmen and Sailors can take part inthe SAI program, the Weapons Station also has aprogram. The Liberty program offers many similaractivities for the same age group, the only differ-ence being the SAI program is open to all while the

Liberty program is restricted to singleAirmen, Sailors and geo-bachelors, E1- E6.

The Liberty program provides theLiberty Lounge, a free recreationalfacility located at the Naval NuclearPower Training Command within theBowman Center on the WeaponsStation. The lounge features a relaxedatmosphere with gaming systems, pooland ping-pong tables and even asoundproof recording studio withmusical equipment.

"We have a ton of events going onfor our Sailors and Airmen," said EdieFoley, Liberty program director. "The

activities help them pull away from the stress andrelax."

Story and photos by Maj. Wayne Capps315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

SOTO CANO, HONDURAS – Reservistsfrom the 315th Airlift Wing delivered morethan 124,000 pounds of humanitarian aid toHaiti, Panama and Honduras February 8, 2014.

The missions involved two C-17Globemaster III aircraft from the 701st and300th Airlift Squadrons, which deliveredhumanitarian aid, medical and school sup-plies, rice and water to the different countries.

"It is very rewarding to get to do these mis-sions," said Maj. Ronnie Schier, operationsofficer and pilot from the 701st AirliftSquadron. "It is a good feeling to be able tobring these supplies to people who reallyneed it."

Missions like these are made possible bythe Denton Amendment, a statedepartment/U.S. Aid program allowing thedelivery of donated humanitarian aid to fly onAir Force assets on a space available basis.

The missions were also training missionsfor the numerous reserve aircrew members onthe two jets.

"There are numerous evaluations happen-

ing on these flights," said Maj. Schier. "Off-station training missions like these areinvaluable for traditional reservists. Thesemissions can be challenging with the moun-tainous terrain, language barriers and anyother issue that come up," he said. "Thesetraining missions keep our reservists ready,and if we can help people while staying cur-rent, that is a plus."

"I take pride in knowing that I can flythese types of missions and serve my countrypart time," said Tech. Sgt. Josh Fugle, a load-master on the mission, also from the 701stAS. "I feel good knowing that humanitarianaid is being delivered to countries that needthese vital supplies."

Fugle is a traditional reservist whoreceived training on the mission; he is also aU.S. Customs and Border Protection Officerin his full time job.

"This mission was a good representationof the C-17 and what it can do," said Capt.Jared Wagner, a reserve pilot, as he summedup his thoughts on participating in the mis-sion. "Missions like these are also a goodrepresentations of what we do as Americans,we help people who need it."

Story and photo by Tech. Sgt. Shane Ellis315th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

KEY WEST, Fla – The top of the forward fuselage beganto vibrate and rumble loudly as the aircrew flew their jet10,000 feet over the Gulf of Mexico. The sound lasted for alittle more than a minute - then it was gone. This had startedas a routine training mission, and the crew had started theirdecent toward Key West before this troubling event occurred.No warning lights or sirens went off, but the crew knew some-thing had just happened to the aircraft.

Maj. Rob McGrath, 701st Airlift Squadron aircraft com-mander, was one of six pilots on board the C-17 GlobemasterIII aircraft from Joint Base Charleston, S.C. when the eventoccurred, and he knew what had to be done.

"Our first thought was that we had a dropped object," saidMcGrath. "The first thing we did was mark the spot, whichwas over the Gulf of Mexico. We also immediately sloweddown the airplane to take off stress in the event we did havestructural damage. The plane handled great and we landed atour destination safely."

Flying with the Reserve crew from the 315th Airlift Wingwas Staff Sgt. Ethan Hipple, a flying crew chief with the437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at JBC.

Hipple was able to gain access to the top of the aircraft andconfirmed that a dropped object had occurred.

"There was a torn and missing section of the aircraft's aerialrefueling light," said Hipple. "This was a first for me and thecrew, and I knew it could potentially take some time to get theproblem fixed and have the plane back in the sky."

Even though this was a standard training mission, the mis-sion also doubled as a humanitarian aid mission. Missions likethese are due to the Denton Amendment, which is a StateDepartment/U.S. Aid program that allows the 315th AW todeliver donated humanitarian aid around the globe on spaceavailable military aircraft.

These missions have a very clear window of opportunity.With only two hours plus or minus to deliver the cargo ontime, any delays in the mission could require more coordina-tion between the U.S. Embassy and Honduras, which was this

cargo's destination point. On the ground at Key

West Naval Air Station,Hipple immediately jumpedinto action. He made adetailed report of the prob-lem, which included parts,equipment and manpower tofix the aircraft.

With his report in hand,Hipple started making phonecalls. He had conversationswith teammates at AirMobility Command, JointBase Charleston and Boeing.He needed experts to helpassess the situation, and heknew two of them personally- Master Sgt. ChristopherRessa and Master Sgt.Raymond Westcott.

As production supervisorsfrom the 437th AMXS,Hipple works closely withthem on a routine basis.Ressa and Westcott were able to help coordinate the event withengineers at Boeing. They reviewed the problem and sentHipple a detailed report with specific instructions on how totemporarily repair the broken aircraft and keep it on its mission.

Thinking outside of the box, Hipple worked with employ-ees at Key West International Airport to ensure he had every-thing he needed to perform the job at hand. Working throughthe night and early into the morning, he was able to make thenecessary repairs with only minutes to spare to keep the mis-sion on schedule with no flight restrictions.

According to Hipple, getting the aircraft back in the air wasa simple process that involved great teamwork and communi-cation.

"I've been flying as a crew chief for the past four years, andI'm comfortable in my job," he said. "I know that no matter

where I am I have the support, skills and knowledge to keepour Air Force missions moving forward. In situations like this,the extra level of support needed was only a few phone callsaway."

All off station training missions fly with a flying crewchief. It's his or her job to keep the aircraft moving forwardsafely and on time. It's not uncommon for FCCs to have agreat opportunity to showcase exactly why they were chosento do what they do.

"I'm very impressed with our crew chief's motivation," saidMcGrath. "He worked through the night while we were increw rest, and he completed the repair 30 minutes before ourscheduled show time. It took a team effort to get the aircraftfixed, but it was his hard work and dedication that allowed usto take off on time. He's the true hero on this mission."

Overcoming adversity - Crew Chief keeps mission flying

Maj. Rob McGrath and Staff Sgt. Ethan Hipple discuss details regarding a dropped object eventduring a dual training and humanitarian aid mission to Honduras. The coordinated efforts ofMcGrath and Hipple kept the mission on schedule. McGrath is an instructor pilot with the 701stAirlift Squadron and Hipple is a flying crew chief with the 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.

DOD NEWS

The Navy joins our nation in celebrating the vibrant history and culture of African American andblack Sailors during African American/Black History Month throughout the month of February.

African American Sailors have a legacy of honorable service that permeates our naval historythrough every major armed conflict since the Revolutionary War. All Hands takes pride in high-lighting nine African Americans who blazed trails and changed the course of history forever.

Vice Adm. Michelle Janine HowardVice Adm. Michelle Janine Howard has been a trail-blazer throughout her entire career. At 17

years old she was accepted into the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., as part of only the thirdclass to accept women. At the time, women made up only five percent of the Navy. Change isinevitable, and Howard rode a wave of it as she moved through her career. In 1980, the Navyopened logistics ships to women, allowing a lot of opportunities for women to serve at sea. Soonwomen were serving on combat ships and flying combat aircraft. In 1999 Howard fulfilled adream. She took command of the amphibious dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47),becoming the first African-American woman in such a role.

Throughout February, the Patriot will honor African American/Black History Month with pro-files of prominent African-American Sailors.
