Armed Services YMCA strives to make life easier for military families

BY LESLIE C. SMITH STAFF WRITER

Gearing up for another year of serving during the holiday season, the Armed Services YMCA was busy wrapping toys for the Women’s Day Holiday Joy campaign which they will give during a special event tonight on Joint Base AnacostiaBolling.

“All the donations that come in from the Women’s Day Holiday Joy go straight to military families. We give it to our branches where they have turkey for the families or food for the families and they have toys for the families. What we do at headquarters is that we have the toys because we’re not a branch. I have about 80 kids from Joint Base Andrews that we are going to be giving toys on Friday at an event at Bolling for enlisted members,” Giselle Schneider, Director of Programs/Operation Kid Comfort Coordinator, shared.

The National Board Coordinator and Office Manager for Armed Services YMCA National Headquarters, Stephanie Franke’s husband, Master Sgt. John Smith, is currently

with Security Forces at Joint Base Andrews. “I asked him can you find us some enlisted families that we can target to give toys for Christmas; and through him I was able to get a bunch of families. This way the families are getting them directly. It helps the enlisted families because that is who we target through many of our programs.”

“The toys were donated

through different companies like Lego which donated some items, but many donated to Good 360 and we get them through Good 360.” Schneider added.

Headquartered in Springfield, Va., the Armed Services YMCA provides programs and support services to military service members and their

Brace yourself, winter is coming

BY AIRMAN 1ST CLASS JOSHUA R. M. DEWBERRY 11TH WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Team Andrews Airmen should be aware of the inclement weather coming this winter.

“Last year’s winter season lasted longer than expected and caused several instances of base closure,” said William Babcock, Deputy Director for Installation Support.

In previous years, Andrews’ closures were usually

in line with Office of Personnel Management’’s guidance and would close the base when it was advised by OPM. However, due to cases where harsh weather would hit areas near Andrews, but not directly affect the Andrews community, Andrews will operate on its own schedule.

The JBA commander will determine JBA’s operating status. It will be determined by weather conditions, snow clearing operations on JBA, available OPM guidance,

available school closures and installation mission considerations.

“We will consider the OPM’s guidance when making our decision for JBA,” said Col. Brad Hoagland, 11th Wing/JBA commander.

“However, based on lessons learned from last year, we will incorporate other factors into the decision making process, most notably the ability to keep the airfield operable

ever, many others are unable to recognize when help is needed, or are just reluctant to ask. For those who prefer to do things themselves, so as not to burden others, the situation or experience can eventually become such a weight that the individual is unable to go at it alone or is already in over their head.

Air Force physicians, mental health providers, chaplains, first sergeants, commanders, and wingmen are all there to help. There are also many programs that allow you to talk or research your situations, such as our family readiness centers, our Military Crisis Line, the Air Force Suicide Prevention web site, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, and The Airman’s Guide for Assisting Personnel in Distress. But the fact remains, if you don’t reach out, it’s difficult to offer assistance.

As military members, your country relies on your service and we understand the burden that can be levied upon you and your families. Always remember, you are not alone with this and someone is there to help.

My wish to you this holiday season is that you will ask for help if you need it. Just remember that even “The Greatest” had to bounce back to truly realize his greatness.

Great American Smokeout comes to Andrews SPECIAL THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

Every year, on the third Thursday of November, smokers across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. They may use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance and then quit smoking that day. The Great American Smokeout event challenges people to stop using tobacco and helps people know about the many tools they can use to help them quit and stay quit.

The Smokeout event has helped dra-

matically change Americans’ attitudes about smoking. These changes have led to community programs and smoke-free laws that are now saving lives in many states. Annual Great American Smokeout events began in the 1970s, when smoking and secondhand smoke were commonplace.

The idea for the Great American Smokeout grew from a 1970 event in Randolph, Massachusetts, at which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund.

AIR FORCE PHOTO/MASTER SGT. AIMEE KLARMANN

Ms Goff, Tech. Sgt. Millicent Cavazos, Tech. Sgt. Tina Phelps-Prince, Staff Sgt. Candace Moyd reached out to individuals attending the Great American Smoke Out/Turkey Trot run to hand them information on how to stop smoking.

Then in 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. The idea caught on, and on Nov. 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society got nearly 1 million smokers to quit for the day.

That California event marked the first

Great American Smokeout, and the Society took the program nationwide in 1977. Since then, there have been dramatic changes in the way society views tobacco advertising and tobacco use. Many public places and work areas are now smoke-free - this protects non-smokers and supports smokers who want to quit.

Wilson admittedly noted the team play was sloppy and was plagued with several ball turnovers.

“The fact that we’re still in the game is a shocker, because normally, when you turn the ball over that many times you get blown out of the game. Their team played pretty solid ball,” Wilson said.

Elated at his first win as an intramural coach, Kempel offered a simple strategy to challenge the veteran squadron.

“Our game plan was: number one, not lose our cool; secondly, we’re a running team and I wanted my guys to shoot them out of the zone defense; and, lastly, live and die by the threepointer,” said ANG coach Kempel. “Javarion Ryston was also instrumental in tonight’s game. A.J. Simpson is one of our seasoned three-point shooters and,” Kempel added.

“I’ve only been coaching this team since August. I’ve always wanted to do this because it’s my passion,” the former varsity coach said. “I figured my children are grown now, and I now get to experience working with these talented young men, whose youth and vigor add to my coaching experience. This is great; it’s my first win as a coach,” Kempel said.

The flight line, referred to as America’s Airfield, is heavily focused on to ensure it is always operational.

“We must balance the risk of ensuring mission-essential flying operations continue along with the safety concerns for personnel that commute to and from the base,” said Hoagland.

“Our number one objective is to maintain an operable airfield for the highest priority flying missions at JBA.” Also, with harsh weather slated to affect roadways and traffic, personnel are encouraged to keep safety in mind while traveling.

“Make sure to regularly check your tires, windshield wipers and have a blanket in your car at all times,” said Babcock.

1050212

“It is important for each individual to make a personal risk assessment to see if they are safe to drive to and from work,” said Hoagland. “Clear communication with supervisors and base leadership is paramount to ensure personnel know the daily status of the base during inclement weather conditions.”

Operating status can be accessed through the following means: Andrews Straight Talk phone line: 301-9815995; www.andrews.af.mil “Weather Watch” tab on the homepage, Facebook (facebook.com/jointbaseandrews) and Twitter (twitter.com/andrewsairforce) and the Joint Base Andrews App (available on iTunes and Google Play).

Additionally, all JBA personnel must understand the following terms:

following a standard 0730L report time or their normal reporting time if it is later. The option for unscheduled leave can be utilized. Non-essential personnel must notify their supervisors of their intent to use unscheduled leave and military members must receive supervisor approval before taking unscheduled leave.

Essential Only Reporting

Essential personnel must report for duty on time and may be required to remain on duty if weather is serious enough to prevent replacements from safely reporting. Essential only reporting implies “base closure” for any non-essential personnel until operating status is changed.

Delayed Reporting

Essential personnel should report for duty on time. Non-essential personnel should report for duty no later than the designated number of hours

Early Release

Essential personnel are expected to complete their shifts and may be required to remain on duty if the weather is serious enough to prevent replacements from safely reporting.

Non-essential personnel should depart in accordance with JBA guidance.

Early release implies “base closure” for any non-essential shift workers for the remainder of the calendar day..

Headquarters Air Force District of Washington’s operating status will be the same as that published by OPM on their website, http://www.opm.gov.

In all situations, personnel must also check and adhere to the operating status of their installation prior to returning to work.

YMCA, from page 1 families, in particular junior-enlisted men and women. In addition to the Holiday Joy program, the Armed Services YMCA has another important program designed to offer support and comfort for military families – Operation Kid Comfort. Originally created at Ft. Bragg/Pope AFB in N.C., “Operation Kid Comfort is where we make quilts and pillows for children of all the deployed military service members, not just enlisted. The parents can sign up for the quilts or pillows through our website.”

The quilt and pillow both have pictures of the deployed parent and the child. “It’s made very unique for the child because it has the child’s name, the military seal, the Armed Services YMCA logo and also the Operation Kid Comfort Logo on it… I try very hard to buy fabrics that are good quality and also fun for the children – that are bright, cheerful and fun. We found that the kids like the fleece so I go out and buy the fleece that are both colorful, happy, and cozy because they like to snuggle with it.

Our quilters are local quilters…we have a few quilters that work all the time in the program; they cut the fabric,

make kits, they are constantly working with the program.

They are amazing; one of them even stores the fabric at her house,” Schneider said.

1043018

Schneider was moved to volunteer from her own experiences as both a child and as a mother: “They way I found out about Operation Kid Comfort was that my youngest son, Alexander, was getting ready to be deployed with the Marines; and as you know deployments are usually in the middle of the night,” she joked, “It was very early in the morning, Camp Lejeune, it was totally dark and foggy so you couldn’t see anything except what was in front of you, the only person I could see was my son. So as a mom, I was just thinking of the perspective of a mom, ‘Oh my son is getting deployed; I’m not going to get to see him.’ Then, when the sun came up, the fog is gone, I look around and I see other parents like myself and then what struck me was when I saw the children…,” her voice trails off. “I saw the children and I thought ‘Oh my gosh, how selfish I am thinking just about myself and here are these children…their parent is deploying.’ ” “I had flashbacks to when I was little girl. I came to this country when I just turned 6 and my dad couldn’t come because he couldn’t leave when we left so my mom left with two little kids by herself. We were alone without my dad for what ended up being for two years. I knew what those children were about to go through. It makes me cry all time because I know what it’s like to be that child – to have your parent gone and you really don’t have a grasp of why and you have no concept of time. I would have loved to have had anything with a picture of my dad; when we left we couldn’t bring anything – no pictures, nothing.

“So when I left Camp Lejeune came back to Northern Virginia with my husband, I started searching through the Internet looking for organizations that helped military children. I had to do something; I just can’t experience that and not do something. So when I came back I found Operation Kid Comfort …I started making quilts right away. I was making quilts and some other people wanted to learn how to make them so I volunteered to go and teach them how to make them. Later they then hired me to run the program and it’s something very dear to my heart because I know what it’s like to be that child…,” Schneider said while wiping away tears. “Because when a parent is gone, a lot of times children just don’t understand… When we were in Florida and a thunderstorm would come, I would have loved to have been able to sit in my dad’s lap because that was something that comforted me. I didn’t have my dad; I didn’t have a picture of my dad. At least, if I had a picture, I could have held it; it would have been a little hug from my dad. “[The pictures are] what is so special about these quilts; it has the children with pictures of themselves with the parent and so when they look at the quilt, when they look at the pillow, they can see themselves with the parent. They can remember that happy time when Daddy showed me how to ride a bike, or that time when Daddy was reading me a book, or that happy time when we went to McDonalds and we had a special treat together. Whatever it was, it’s something the child can remember doing with their parent it’s a great comfort for them. So many moms have talked to me or written to me and told me about how the quilts comfort their children in so many ways and I firmly believe it not only comforts the child but it also comforts the parent that is stateside as well as the parent that is abroad. Like a little pebble in the water – it comforts the child; it comforts the parent, and anyone who is connected to that child. When they see that child comforted they are comforted. It’s a wonderful, wonderful program that I hold very close to my heart,” Schneider said.

She shared a number of stories of when the quilt comforted and offered connection, “The children don’t want to let go, they take it everywhere, to school for show and tell; many say it’s a hug from Daddy.”

“Sometimes, if we can, we try to surprise them and have them receive their quilt at school or an event; but even if they receive it in the mail it’s just as special because they are getting something made specifically for them. Each quilter that makes it has love for that child and that family and has respect for the military. They are doing it with love and respect for the family recognizing the sacrifices the military families make; because they are all sacrificing – the person that is deployed is sacrificing but so is the family that is left behind… Always acknowledging they all serve, the sacrifices they all make.

The youngest heroes are the children.”
