Air Force Chief of Staff

WASHINGTON — HappyNew Year, airmen.

To those of you who spentthe holidays deployed, thank

inspires me.Despite the budgetary

uncertainty, the fiscal cliff, orwhatever else time and cir-cumstances throw at us, Ibelieve 2013 will be a greatyear for our Air Force. We’llstill be doing great work forthe nation, we’ll still be comingto work with the greatest menand women on Earth, and we’llstill be taking care of each

ANOTHER YEAR SOARS BY

Photos courtesy of the 4th Fighter Wing and 916th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs offices

These photos reflect some of the most significant moments that unfolded on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in 2012. From the historic change of command that sawCol. Jeannie Leavitt become the first female fighter wing commander in the history of the Air Force to the filming of a commercial inside the installation gates, therewere plenty of headlines made during a year that will certainly go down in both the 4th Fighter Wing and 916th Air Refueling Wing history books.

History madeFrom the morning an F-15E Strike Eagle surpassed 10,000 flighthours to the day Col. Jeannie Leavitt became the Air Force’s first

female fighter wing commander, 2012 was quite a year.Saying goodbye wasn’t easy

for the spouses and childrenleft behind when young menand women boarded planesbound for war.

Watching milestones unfoldwithout them just didn’t feelright.

So when they returned,tears fell and hearts raced.

Children jumped up anddown.

But deployments — andhomecomings — were not theonly things that definedanother year on SeymourJohnson Air Force Base.

In fact, while those warriorswere adding chapters to theirlife stories downrange, historywas being made right here inGoldsboro.

For the first time ever, afemale officer took commandof an Air Force fighter wing.

And months later, that samewing received the branch’s

Outstanding Unit Award.The base was graced with

the presence of distinguishedvisitors, from the governor toa World War II icon.

And the fighter jet local air-men work tirelessly to keep inflight conquered a few feats ofits own.

To say that 2012 was a yearto remember would be a grossunderstatement.

Somehow, the old clichésjust don’t seem to do it justice.

But something has to besaid about the remarkableachievements accomplished byTeam Seymour over the last12 months.

You need to be told just howimportant you are — howmuch your sacrifices mean tothose of us living outside thegates.

You need to know how muchwe appreciate all you do for us.

So thank you for another

great year — for letting us, ifonly for moments at a time,follow your journeys.

It has been a humblingexperience documenting yourtriumphs.

In a world that seems to beincreasingly focused on theindividual’s drive to succeed, itis comforting to know thatsome people stand for idealsbigger than any one person.

You hear it from your com-manders every day — that thetime you spend serving yourneighbors and nation is moresignificant than you will everknow; that your sacrifices arenoted.

But we thought we wouldtake the time to let you hearit from us.

We look forward to whatpromises to be another out-standing year.

Greatness seems to be allyou know.

1) Col. Jeannie Leavitt takes command of the 4th FW: Forthe first time in Air Force history, a female officer took the reins ofa fighter wing. But Leavitt said the feat, much like the others shehas met during her career, was not about her. It was simply anoth-er opportunity to serve alongside men and women she considerscomrades and heroes.

2) The 4th FW receives the Air Force Outstanding UnitAward: The award is given to units who perform exceptionallymeritorious service, excel in combat operations against an armedenemy of the United States or conducts with distinct military oper-

Liposuction is a body contouring surgery thatrequires surgical expertise, an artist's eye,and the insight to determine which patientsare likely to benefit from liposuction. When

artfully and appropriately applied, liposuctioncan produce dramatic contour improvements.As with all plastic surgery, the goal should be

to produce a natural contour.Questions to ask:

- Does your surgeon have hospital privilegesto perform this procedure?

- Are there many before and after photos fromall angles that show consistent lightingand positioning?

- Are patients available to share theirexperience with you?

AROUND THE AIR FORCE

Military OneSource beginsoffering tax help to airmen

By ARMY SGT. 1STCLASS TYRONEMARSHALL JR.American Forces

Press Service

WASHINGTON — Astax season nears, Mili-tary OneSource andH&R Block have joinedforces again to provide afree online tax prepara-tion service for servicemembers.

During an interviewwith American ForcesPress Service and thePentagon Channel, TonyJackson, a program ana-lyst for the Military One-Source program office,detailed the servicesavailable for troops andtheir families.

“Military OneSource isa gateway to a free taxpreparation service, part-nered with H&R Block,”he said. “We also havetax consultants who canprovide assistance,whether it’s seeking andfilling out tax forms orany other tax-relatedinformation.”

Jackson emphasized itis a safe and secure wayfor service members toprepare their taxesonline.

“Military OneSourceand H&R block definitelymeet industry standardsfor security for websites,”he said. “Also, encryptionsoftware (is used), andthere’s also no selling ofinformation, so servicemembers and familymembers can be assuredthat their information issecure, and it stays with-in Military OneSourceand H&R Block.”

Jackson noted that twoservices — basic and pre-mium are providedthrough H&R Block, withone notable difference.The basic service is free,he said, and the premi-

um service would applyto taxpayers who mustfile Schedule C returns,generally to report gainsor losses from businessownership.

“When you (start) get-ting into premium, ...you’re going to incur someadditional costs, wherebasic is free,” Jacksonsaid. “But if you haveSchedule C tax issues,that’s when you’d go to thepremium. Again, the keypoint there is you do incuradditional costs if youhave to use the premium.”

For those not surewhich service theyshould use, Jacksonencouraged them to usethe Military OneSourcewebsite as a guide. Thesite lists answers to fre-quently asked questions,he added.

“You can always con-tact Military OneSourceat 1-800-342-9647,” Jack-son said. “We’re open 24hours a day, seven days aweek, so any questionsyou have, you can usethe website or the callcenter at the number.”

Jackson said both meth-ods are effective in con-tacting Military One-Source tax consultantsoffering useful services fortroops and their families.

“Not only do they pro-vide forms and basicinformation relative tomilitary-specific taxissues and questions,they are a gateway to getyou to H&R Block,” hesaid. “If your tax situa-tion warrants, they’ll getyou to a volunteerincome tax assistanceclinic on your local mili-tary installation or larg-er command. It’s one-stopshopping.”

These tax consultantscannot prepare tax formsor direct people to doanything, Jackson said.Everything is on a rec-ommended basis.

All members of theArmy, Navy, Air Forceand Marine Corps areeligible to use the serv-ice, he said, includingmembers of the National

Guard and Reserve com-ponents, regardless ofactivation status.

Coast Guard reservistsactivated under Title 10authority to serve withthe Navy also are eligible,he added, and so arespouses and other familymembers enrolled in theDefense Enrollment Eligi-bility Reporting System.

“Family members thathave been designated toprovide support todeployed service mem-bers, medically dis-charged retirees and dis-charged service members(within) 180 days of theirdischarge date are eligi-ble for Military One-Source services,” Jacksonadded.

The key to these serv-ices is financial readi-ness, which is a DefenseDepartment priority,Jackson said.

“We understand thatfinancial readiness is areadiness issue,” he said.“If you have a service[member] who’s con-cerned about their finan-cial situation then thatdetracts from the mis-sion.”

Jackson also providedhis personal testament tousing the free tax prepa-ration program, havingserved on active duty inthe Marine Corps as apersonnel officer formore than 20 years. Hesaid his family still usesthe service.

“In fact, I have adaughter right now whois currently a militaryspouse, and she contin-ues to use it as well,” hesaid.

This program’s ulti-mate goal, Jackson said,is to ensure service mem-bers and their familiesknow that Military One-Source is an option.

“We hope it’s the firstoption ... for getting yourtaxes prepared oranswering any questionsor issues you have withtaxes,” he said. “Justknow that Military One-Source is there to helpyou.”

BAGRAM AIRFIELD,Afghanistan — Up untila few days ago, StaffSgt. Derek Allen hadn’tseen his brother, ArmyCpl. Greg Allen, in along time. However, aninteresting twist of fatespurred their separateservices to bring themtogether here for theChristmas holidays.

“Both of us being herein (Afghanistan) is theclosest we have everbeen to each other sinceThanksgiving 2009,”said Derek, a 455thExpeditionary Mainte-nance Squadron tacticalaircraft maintenancecraftsman, deployedfrom Davis-Monthan AirForce Base, Ariz.

As a teenager inAkron, Ohio, Derek wasdriven to join the AirForce following 9/11.

“We took the path lesstraveled,” he said of thechoices he and hisbrother made to join thearmed services.

Their parents, Charlesand Melissa, recalledtheir eldest son’s deci-sion to join the Air Forcewas long planned.

“(Derek) knew well intohis senior year,” Melissa

said, “he signed evenbefore he graduated.”

But while Derek chosethe Air Force, his broth-er opted for the Armyinstead.

“He didn’t want to belike his older brother,”Derek said with a grin,“he wanted to blaze hisown path.”

However, Greg saidhis brother was one ofthe biggest supporters ofhis decision to join theArmy.

Besides his wife, “(mybrother) was only personwho really understood,”he said.

Despite some good-natured ribbing abouteach other’s chosen serv-ice, the Allen brothershave found the militaryhas only strengthenedtheir relationship,despite their physicaldistance.

Recently, that specialrelationship wasstrengthened even fur-ther. Derek was able tolook out for his youngerbrother, without evenrealizing it at the time.

As a member of the A-10 Thuderbolt II phaseinspection team here,Derek ensures that theA-10s are ready to exe-cute their close air sup-port mission for troopsin the field. One Decem-ber day, two A-10s wereproviding air supportwhen they received acall that a unit wasunder fire and neededoverhead assistance.One aircraft made apass over the area andgot the call from the

joint terminal attackcontroller that theyneeded some heavy fire.Dropping two 500-poundbombs, the aircraft hitthe target and the hos-tile fire subsided.

Derek later found outthe unit that neededassistance was part ofthe 101st Airborne Divi-sion, and his brotherwas among the troopswhose lives were safe-guarded that day.

“When it comes toclose air support, the A-10 is the first thing youthink of,” Greg saidlater, adding it wastremendous confidenceboost to watch the A-10do its work.

“That was a momentwhere I knew everyonewas going to make itback,” he said.

Soon afterward, Gregcontacted his brothervia Facebook asking himto thank the A-10 pilot.Derek said he hasalways taken pride inhis work, but hearingthe news of how aircrafthe prepares for flighthelped protect his broth-er increased it.

“I, and the rest of theguys on our phase team,directly affected thecombat airpower thatwas able to help out notonly my brother but allthe guys in his unit,” hesaid. “It’s not every daythat an older brothertruly gets to make surethat the skies over hislittle brother are safe.

2nd Bomb Wing Public Affairs

BARKSDALE AIRFORCE BASE, La. —Most people dream of get-ting rich, or houses withwhite picket fences, butone airman’s dream is tobe locked in a blood-stained steel cage with aprofessional mixed martialartist.

For most, this would bea nightmare.

However, for Staff Sgt.Jeremy Caudillo, the 2ndForce Support Squadronfitness center supervisorhere, his dream of becom-ing a professional MMAfighter is about to becomereality.

“This has been a bigdream of mine,” saidCaudillo. “My goal is tobe the Ultimate FightingChampionship champion.I feel like MMA is mydestiny.”

Caudillo began hisfighting career as awrestler in high school

and college. It wasn’t untilone of his deploymentsthat he decided to pursuea career in MMA.

“I got interested inMMA when I wasdeployed to Afghanistan,”said Caudillo. “I saw a fewsoldiers and some otherguys doing combativesand Jiu-jitsu, so I asked ifI could partake. I startedtraining with them and itreally started my career inMMA.”

After Caudillo returnedfrom his deployment, hejoined an MMA gym andstarted competing in localamateur fights. His suc-cess in the ring attractedthe attention of MTV’sreality show “Caged.”

“Being on the showwas good for publicity,”said Caudillo. “It helpedme meet a couple of peo-ple in UFC and make alot of great connections.”

After more than twoyears of hard work andtraining, Caudillo recentlyfinished his amateurcareer with a six and threerecord — but that is notthe end of his story.

“I feel like I am readyto go ‘pro,’” said Caudillo.“I’m setting up my firstpro fight for March, andI’ll make my debut in the135-pound weight class.”

Though his MMA career

is taking off, Caudillo stillwants to be an airman.

“I still want to keep myAir Force career,” saidCaudillo. “It is nice to beable to work here at thefitness center. My job inthe Air Force is to trainpeople and keep them fitto fight.”

The training Caudilloreceives from the AirForce and MMA go hand-in-hand. Collectively,they help him be a betterfighter and airman.

“MMA has helped melearn a lot more as far asdifferent types of work-outs,” he said. “What Ilearn at the MMA gym Itake back to my squadronand use it to train people. Ialso use some of the fit-ness fundamentals that Ilearned in the Air Force tohelp me with my strengthand endurance training forMMA.”

Caudillo uses full-bodyworkouts along with coreand strength training tohelp his fellow airmenpass their physical fitnesstests and stay in shape.

“Before I would just dobasic exercises like run-ning, pushups and sit-ups to pass my PT test,”said Staff Sgt. CrystalMcElvane, 2nd FSS unit

Speaking at the end ofthe City Council meeting,Allen said he felt the“sticker shock” from theconsultant’s estimatedcosts to transform the for-mer bank building at thecorner of Spence Avenueand Ash Street into an

Air Force museum hadproven to be too much forthe city to handle.

“I honestly think thereality is we don’t knowhow to fund it,” he said.“I don’t see any way wecan fund it.”

Between asbestosabatement, renovationand repairs to the build-ing, museum construc-tion work, exhibits andfundraising counsel, thecity would need about $7million to get the doorsopen, plus $335,000annually to fill opera-tions budget shortfall.

Allen said the councilhadn’t talked about thebuilding at all since theNov. 19 meeting whenthe city’s hired consult-ant team made its finalpresentation.

He said that he wouldlike to proceed with put-ting the building on themarket, a move that wasfloated by council mem-

bers shortly after theyapproved the purchase ofthe building from theArts Council of WayneCounty for $500,000 insummer 2011.

Unless someone comesforward with a check todo the work required, hesaid, he would like thecouncil to begin shop-ping the building outwithin 30 to 60 days.

“There’s no point inhaving that property ifwe’re not going to do any-thing with it,” he said.

His call for actioncame three days shy of ayear after the first meet-ing of the council-creat-ed Air Force MuseumCitizen’s Committee,which helped to hire thecity’s consultant andacted as a steering com-mittee for the projectthrough November.

The council is tentative-ly scheduled to discussthe project at its retreat.

west” and became a treas-ured memory. Col. (ret.)Ralph Parr, a double aceand combat veteran ofthree wars, passed awaypeacefully Dec. 7, at age88. During the KoreanWar, in one remarkable 11day/30 mission stretch, hescored ten confirmed killsand received the Distin-guished Service Cross foractions during a particu-larly harrowing dogfightwith 10 enemy MiGs. InVietnam, he earned theAir Force Cross forextraordinary valor dur-ing the Battle of KheSanh. In all, he flew 641combat missions and isthe only American aviatorto receive both the Distin-guished Service Cross andthe Air Force Cross. Healso wore the Silver Star,10 Distinguished FlyingCrosses, the Bronze Starand 41 Air Medals.

We should all stand alittle prouder because wefollow in his footsteps.

I think we all share theresponsibility to protectthe legacy that Col. Parrand so many others built.But the demographics ofour Air Force havechanged. Images, songs,stories, or “traditions” thatare obscene, vulgar, orthat denigrate some per-centage of airmen are notthe things we value inthat proud heritage. I’m abit surprised by commentsI’ve heard about therecent health and welfareinspection, suggesting itwas an attack on fighterpilot culture, a “witchhunt” to target specificorganizations or individu-als, or a response to a spe-cific event.

None of those commentsare true. My intent wastwo-fold. First, if we’regoing to get serious aboutpreventing sexual assault,we need to get seriousabout eliminating environ-ments conducive to sexualharassment or unprofes-sional relationships. Bothare leading indicators ofsexual assault and otherbehavior and performanceissues. Second, the AirForce succeeds because ofthe professionalism anddiscipline of our airmen.

We have a significantnumber of airmen whofeel they have to “go alongto get along” by ignoringpornographic images,workplace comments, orother material that makesthem uncomfortable.That’s simply not the AirForce we want to be.EVERY airman is critical-ly important ... and every

one of you deserves to betreated with respect. Any-thing less reflects a lack ofdiscipline and a failure tohonor our values. It alsomarginalizes great air-men, degrades missioneffectiveness and hurtsunit morale. We simplycan’t, and won’t, tolerateit. Of course, that’s easyfor me to say ... only youcan make it reality. Asalways, I need your help.

In a couple of weeks, I’llsend you a CSAF Vectorfor 2013. In it, I’ll let youknow where I think we’reheaded in some key areasand also lay out a fewthings I think I owe youover the next year. Thingslike what the AF valuesfor promotion (hint — thelist starts with Job Perfor-mance); my thoughts onperformance reports andany required adjust-ments; etc.

Thank you again for allyou do, and for choosing toserve in our great AirForce. Don’t let the talk ofsequestration distract youfrom the importance ofwhat you do every day.We’ll still need to come towork in 2013 and we’llcontinue to provide Ameri-ca with one of its greatestasymmetric advantages.

WASHINGTON — Aportrait painting of retiredGen. Norton Schwartz, the19th Air Force chief ofstaff, was unveiled Jan. 8at the Pentagon.

Artist Michele Rush-worth was commissionedto paint the portrait.

“When I heard that Iwas chosen to paint thisportrait, I was thrilled andimmediately began myresearch to find out moreabout Gen. Schwartz, hisbackground and hiscareer,” said Rushworth,who has been paintingportraits from everyone

from ambassadors to base-ball players for more than25 years.

According to Rush-worth, the intent of aportrait is much morethan an official photohanging at the entranceof a government build-ing. Every paint stroke ismade with purpose — tocapture a person’s lifeand character.

“As I painted the por-trait itself, my main goalwas to convey somethingof the spirit of Gen.Schwartz,” she said. “Anyphoto can tell us what helooks like, but a portraitpainting is supposed toaim for something deeper,something of the innercharacter of the person —a feeling that lies beyondthe visible. I try to capturethe essence of the subject’scharacter.”

After the portrait wasunveiled, Schwartzreflected on what itmeant to him and hiswife, Suzie.

“The Air Force has givenus both a home,” he said.“And now a portrait in theArnold Corridor will be alasting symbol that inAmerica, and in America’sarmed forces, remarkablethings are still possible nomatter who you were, orwhere you came from.Indeed, the United StatesAir Force will always beour home. And we hopeour service will always beconsidered worthy.”

During the unveiling,Secretary of the AirForce Michael Donleyrecognized Schwartz forhis contributions andimpact on the Air Force.

“Our nation mustnever take for granted

the selfless service, dedi-cation, and sacrifice ofpublic servants and mili-

tary leaders like NortySchwartz,” Donley said.“The record will showthat through this serviceyou earned a place in AirForce history.”

Schwartz retired lastyear after 39 years ofservice in the Air Force,with the previous four asthe service’s senior uni-formed leader.

When the brothers’respective leaders heardthe story, they launched asuccessful effort to getthem together for the hol-idays. When Greg arrivedhere, the time spent apart

seemed to disappear.“It was literally like

having seen him justyesterday,” Derek said ofhis brother’s arrival.

That comes as goodnews to their parents.

“They do a lot ofshielding of us; theydon’t want us to worry,”said Melissa. “When wefinally got the gist of

what happened, we werelike ‘Oh, wow, thosetypes of things really aregoing on.’”

Charles echoed hiswife’s feelings.

“Like any other parentyou’re always thinkingabout it, but at the sametime you aren’t thinkingabout it.”

For the time being how-

ever, Melissa and her hus-band are thrilled at thethought of her sons spend-ing Christmas togetherfor the first time in years.

“It really is an awe-some Christmas gift,”she said. “They may notbe with us and we’re notwith them, but at leastthey can be with eachother.”

So local officialsremain optimistic that,by the end of the decade,Seymour Johnson willget its share.

“I think Seymour is

still positioned well to bea future host of the KC-46,” said Maj. ShannonMann, 916th ARW Pub-lic Affairs chief. “I mean,we can’t predict thefuture. We can’t sayexactly what the AirForce and DOD aregoing to do. But we havedone everything on ourpart to highlight oursuccess and to showthem that we are a wingthat can take this tech-nology into the future.”

The wing has manyreasons to be confident.

In “USAF Force Struc-ture Changes: Sustain-

ing Readiness and Mod-ernizing the TotalForce,” a report pub-lished in February 2012by top Air Force brass,officials said theyintended to “establishActive or Classic Associ-ations at all continentalU.S. KC- 46 locations” —an Active Associationalready exists at Sey-mour Johnson.

And the base’s proxim-ity to Camp Lejuene andFort Bragg is also “aplus,” officials said.

But its location offersfar more than access tothe other installations.

The fact that it nearthe eastern seaboardpostures its fleet well fordeployment scenarios.

Then factor in the916th’s track record —being the first KC-135unit called upon to refu-el aircraft over Libyaduring OperationOdyssey Dawn and thefirst to refuel the F-35and F-22 — and Sey-mour Johnson’s casegrows stronger.

“With all that, I thinkthe 916th stands a goodchance,” Mann said. “Ireally do.”
