USAF Band surprises commuters at Union Station By 1st Lt. Esther Willett Air Force District of Washington Public Affairs

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Members of the United States Air Force Band surprised commuters at Union Station here with a World War II Holiday Flashback Dec. 3, 2015.

The event was designed to be a special holiday musical presentation celebrating the service and sacrifices of our nation’s World War II veterans.

“This is the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. We’re trying to honor our veterans from the greatest generation,” said Col. Larry Lang, commander and conductor of the U.S. Air Force Band.

“We’ve jumped back into that really cool swing music and designed some music just for them.”

Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James signaled the beginning of the concert by handing a pair of drumsticks to a solo drummer from the U.S. Air Force Band’s Airmen of Note. Technical Sgt. David MacDonald began the eight-minute performance during which musicians from the U.S. Air Force Band slowly emerged from hiding dressed in World War II-era uniforms

to perform a lively musical arrangement of “Jingle Bells” and “Auld Lang Syne.”

“On a piece like this, I get a little bit more nervous than normal because it’s a big performance,” MacDonald said.

“Right before we start, I’m trying to get my head in the game, focus on the music, and remember how we rehearsed the piece.”

The spontaneous nature of the performance made it special, but it also created unique musical and logistical challenges, said MacDonald before the event.

“Our challenge is to make sure we remain focused,” said Master Sgt. Tyler Kuebler, a clarinetist with the Airmen of Note. “It’s going to be very reverberant and hard to hear.

People aren’t going to be sure what’s happening at first, and we want the audience to be included, to feel like they are part of the experience.”

Including the audience while still capturing the event and ensuring all the technical needs are met created the biggest logistical challenge, said Senior Master Sgt. Dennis W. Hoffmann, superintendent of production.

“We’re doing this at noon at Union Station, one of the

No fingerprints left behind.”

These types of concerts are designed to inspire pride in our Air Force and to recognize those who serve our nation in many other capac-

ities, said Lang.

Each member of the U.S. Air Force Band takes this role seriously.

“A lot of times, we’re the only active duty personnel that members of the community will get to interface with personally, so it’s our opportunity to demonstrate the excellence that our fellow Airmen throughout the Air Force display every day,”

said Kuebler. “This is our way of representing the entire Air Force in our specific way with our skills.”

Headquartered at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., the United States Air Force Band is the premier musical organization of the Air Force. Their performances honor veterans and inspire Americans to heightened patriotism and service.

“Many of the things our Airmen do for our nation go unnoticed. Hosting an event like this in the community allows us to put the Air Force on display in a unique way,” said Secretary James. “This Holiday Flashback was a wonderful opportunity to honor the dedication and sacrifice of our service members, past and present, who have served this great nation.”

Commandant’s Corner Youth program seeks the few,

the proud, and not only marines

By Tamara Ward Joint Base Journal

Mrs. and Rear Adm. Yancy Lindsey

By Rear Adm. Yancy B. Lindsey Commandant, Naval District Washington

Season’s Greetings and Merry Christmas Naval District Washington! From my family to yours, I extend heartfelt greetings for a joyful holiday season and thank each of you for your role in accomplishing NDW’s mission. What you do each and every day makes a difference for our Region and our Navy.

As I reflect on this past year, I’m reminded of how fortunate we are to live in a free country that allows us to believe, worship, and live

our lives in the manner we choose. Regardless of your faith or beliefs, I think we can all agree that this season, more than any other time of the year, causes us to reflect on and appreciate those people who are most important in our lives. It’s also a time to highlight and focus on those things that bring us together, that we share in common, and that make us who we are. Differences are to be recognized and celebrated…they make us a better, more effective Navy. Thank you for who you are.

Let’s never forget those Navy personnel who are op-

The Young Marines youth organization is looking for dedicated volunteers to help revive the Montford Point unit on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). Montford Point, one of five local Young Marines units in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, is named after the Marine Corps camp in North Carolina.

“The unit here is on hold. It’s inactive. Reinvigorating that would be good,” said retired Marine Col. Bill Davis. “There is the space for them here.

We’ve got the gear for them.”

Davis is the national executive director and chief executive officer for the Young Marines National Headquarters located on JBAB. The Young Marines is a community-based nationwide program launched in 1959 lead by dedicated adult volunteers. Children, from the community at large, ages 8 through high school, can participate in this youth development program that promotes leadership, teamwork

and self-discipline. Currently there are nearly 6,500 boys and girls participating in 298 units across the nation.

The Montford Point unit has been struggling over the last year and needs a minimum of three adult volunteers to get the unit going again.

“A parent that cares about the program [and] helps us support and run the unit is what we need,” said Davis.

“We help provide a lot of the training and support them [volunteers].”

While the national headquarters prefers a marine to be the unit commander, it is not necessary.

“What’s necessary is the attitude of wanting to be there, be positive and structure it for the kids to excel,” said Joe Venable, deputy director of Young Marines.

The unit here at JBAB is named after the Montford Point boot camp in Jacksonville, North Carolina that was established in the 1940s to train African-American Marine Corps recruits. “A couple of the Montford Point alumni that actually went to boot camp at Montford Point in

North Carolina were in the area,” said Venable. “So when the volunteers got together and they would come and speak, they said let’s name our unit after Montford Point, which is a huge historical part of the Marine Corps.”

Collaboration is the key to this program’s success.

“The program is focused on the Young Marines, the young men and women themselves, but you can’t do it without the volunteers,” said Davis.

Many of the volunteers have prior military experience, but it is not required to become a volunteer.

“As you watch the young men and women go through the program from young to old — the older Young Marines — we really try to empower them with a sense of leadership and ownership of the unit to help run it. The adults are there to assist and advise it,” said Venable.

For more information about the youth program go to www.youngmarines.com.

If you are interested in being a volunteer or becoming a Young Marine, please contact Young Marines at 202-8890502.

December promotions at JBAB

JBAB Deputy Chief of Police earns new rank

Chief Master Sgt. Ellen Jones, the security forces manager at Joint Base Andrews, pins on the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Deputy Chief of Police, Maj. Jacqueline Sanchez’s, new badge at her promotion ceremony to the rank of major. Jones was the new major’s first direct supervisor during her active-duty Air Force career here at then Bolling Air Force Base, and the two have stayed close over the last 15 years.

States Air Force that November as a security forces member.

During her enlistment, Sanchez was stationed at Bolling Air Force Base ,and was on a special duty assignment at the Pentagon.

In July of 2008, she separated from the Air Force, accepting a job a month later as a Sergeant with the Department of Defense Police Department at Bolling Air Force Base, working as a patrolman and desk sergeant. She climbed the ranks over the next seven years, and was honored as the 2009 Civilian of the Year.

Sanchez sees the promotion as an opportunity to give back to the people she works with, who have helped to boost her to her current position. “The promotion to major, it’s an opportunity to make positive changes needed to help our department grow,” said Sanchez. “I just hope that I can contribute ideas to help build a strong foundation to help retain our officers that continue to make a difference here on JBAB.”

By Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs Congratulations to the Airmen below on their selection for promotion to the following ranks this December. The Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) promotion ceremony is held on the last duty day of the month.

Jacqueline Sanchez, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) deputy chief of police, was promoted to the rank of major recently by JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. Frank Mays. Sanchez’s first enlisted supervisor and mentor, Chief Master Sgt. Ellen Jones, had the honor of pinning on the new rank and badge. Sanchez and Jones grew close during her time as a security forces member and have stayed in touch.

“As a young mischievous airman, I was always in her office getting motivational lectures and speeches,” said Sanchez. “As I went up the ranks she would always remind me to ‘let your ethics and craftsman skills speak for themselves.’ She is still always pushing to be the best and has been in contact over 15 years.”

Sanchez was born in Laredo, Texas and graduated from United High School in 1999. She then enlisted in the United

JBAB Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony Story and photos by Michelle L. Gordon JBAB Public Affairs Office

Each year the base holds a special ceremony to light the tree signifying the official start of the holiday season. This year’s event was held Dec. 2, where families enjoyed cookies and hot cocoa by a bonfire, and holiday music filled the air courtesy of the U.S. Air

Force Band Brass Quintet.

JBAB Commander Navy Capt. Frank Mays kicked off the event by welcoming everyone and wishing them a happy holiday season. Then he, with the assistance of his 10-year-old daughter, Bethany, flipped a switch and the night sky was illuminated by the base tree just as Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived to hear Christmas wishes and pose for pictures.

Pipe fitter Ricardo Wilson, along with electricians Dwayne Tucker, David Carmichael, and Kenneth Taylor from JBAB’s Public Works Department decorate and wire the roughly 26-foot-tall tree for the lighting ceremony held Dec. 2. The team began preparations on Nov. 13. For more than two decades the Utilities Section of Public Works has had the responsibility of preparing the tree, which is adjacent to the U.S. Post Office parking lot.

Each year, nearly 400 service members in unaccompanied housing remain at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) through the winter holidays.

These dedicated men and women are often unable to go home for practical reasons, including work schedules, distance, or prohibitive travel costs.

Leading the charge to bring some joy to these service members are Chief Culinary Specialist Alain David, Unaccompanied Housing leading chief petty officer, and Culinary Specialist 1st Class Joanna Davis, Unaccompanied Housing leading petty officer.

The pair are organizing a large cookie drive, called “Cookie Caper,” and are enlisting the help of the JBAB community to deliver a dozen treats to each of the residents

“staying local.”

According to Davis, the Cookie Caper has been going on for at least five years.

“We get a donation of cookies from different entities from the base,” she explained.

“Wives will bake and bring cookies. Some people buy and bake cookies.”

David added that he’s eager to get more volunteers to drop off cookies, baked or store bought. He noted they can be donated in disposable containers on Monday, Dec. 14 and Tuesday, Dec. 15 at Bolling Club between 6 a.m. — 5 p.m.

On Wednesday, Dec. 16, volunteers will be needed to sort the cookies, filling bags decorated by children from the Youth Center. Another round of volunteers will be needed to hand-deliver the scrumptious holiday treats to the dorms on Thursday, Dec. 17 from 3:30 — 5:30 p.m.

For more information or to volunteer, please call 202-4332015 or 2984.
