Leckie student earns laptop through mentor program By Staff Sgt. Brittany E. Jones Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs
Through hard work and dedication, Greg Lackey, 10, a fifth-grader attending Leckie Elementary School in D.C., received a brand new laptop computer with Microsoft Office 2007 software courtesy of the Area Coalitions Education-Excellence (ACE-E) program. He has spent the last month working with his mentor, Army 1st Lt. Adam Williams, Joint Air Defense Operations Center Operations Center officer. Williams applied to be a mentor with the ACE-E program at the beginning of the 2011 school year. He was matched with his mentee, Lackey, who also applied to be a mentee. ACE-E is much more than just a mentorship experience. Mentors must guide and teach their mentees while working on three different projects. "Being involved in any kind of community service to include mentoring youth provides a completely different perspective on life," Williams said. "Getting the opportunity to work with Greg has allowed me to break free of my walls and see the potential in the generations to come. When it comes to potential for the youth of today to achieve greater things, our ceiling is their floor." The first project is an autobiography. Williams and Lackey worked together to accomplish a three-paragraph essay using Microsoft Word. This initial assignment also helped the team learn more about each other. The second project was laying out a budget so the mentee could better understand financial processes and the value of a dollar. The third project was constructing a presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint. The presentation featured the autobiography and budget. Lackey presented his work to Rick Novak, ACE-E President and Andrea Godbey, an ACE-E "Angel" volunteer. "It takes a community to raise a child," Novak said. "The parts of this community include the loving family and home at JBAB, the caring Leckie Elementary School staff, and the ACE-E volunteer networks of 'technology-focused mentoring.'" Lackey was presented with his laptop computer during his school lunch hour by Williams and an ACE-E trustee, Gary Bliss.

Greg Lackey, a 5th-grader from Leckie Elementary School received a laptop computer from the Area Coalitions for Education-Excellence (ACE-E) mentor program, Nov. 21. Lackey was matched with 1st Lt. Adam Williams, Joint Aircraft Defense Operations Center officer, to work on three projects to present to board members to receive a laptop and Microsoft Office software. "I feel great about receiving the laptop," Lackey said. "I'm going to use it to e-mail my mentor when I move to Russia." Lackey was the first elementarygrade student ever to receive a laptop from the program. According to the ACE-E program, one of their goals is to inspire students of publicly supported schools to complete their education, and to provide increased opportunities for experiencing self-esteem. One of the
ways they accomplish this goal is by developing a partnership of volunteers from government, the military, private sector, and the local communities to accomplish a vision of world-class education systems in publicly supported schools. "I would recommend this program to other kids," Lackey said. "I also learned you can do whatever you want to do if you put your mind to it."
The mentees aren't the only ones learning something through this opportunity though. Mentors may also gain something from the ACE-E experience. "Honestly, from the moment I stepped foot into that school I began learning," Williams said. "One important thing I learned is that I don't have to lead a student to success-they naturally want to succeed. If I provide them the tools and the encouragement, success will be the product."

Grammy Award winner calls Airmen of Note "remarkable" Vocalist states performance "like a dream come true" By Joseph P. Cirone Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs
A Grammy Award winner called the U.S. Air Force Band's Airmen of Note, "remarkable," after playing with them at a concert on Nov. 18 in the nation's capital. The energetic award winning trumpeter and former Tonight Show band leader, Doc Severinsen, made a guest appearance with the Airmen of Note Jazz ensemble, affectionately called, "the Note."

Giving thanks for blessings (both obvious and not-so-obvious) By Senior Airman Susan L. Davis Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs
Don't send ducks to eagle school; Cowboys 27, Redskins 24 Commentary by Ken Harvey Former Washington Redskins Player Special to Joint Base Journal
I went to the game and like most of the fans there, I received a bit more than expected. The game, although filled with mistakes on the part of the Redskins, was a good game. It went into overtime and was a nail biter until the end. That is the good news; the bad news that normally follows is that the game went into overtime, and the Redskins lost their sixth straight game. We missed opportunities that cost us the game.
Two Principles There are two principles here I would like to speak about: Principle One. When you have a chance to shine, shine.
The Redskins had the opportunity to win the game and shine, but the dropped balls; fumbles; missed passes; interceptions and slips on the field cost us big plays. Rex Grossman had a good game, completing 25 of 38 passes for 289 yards, which resulted in 3 touchdowns, including one he scored. Romo only passed for 292 yards. Grossman helped engineer the touchdown that brought the game to a tie with 14 seconds left on the clock and sent the game into overtime. The defensive line did okay also, and there are some key players that did well. Ryan Kerrigan had a sack and a blocked pass. There were four sacks total for the day. Overall, the defense did well but they still allowed 27 points and that is not good enough to win. Again, shine when you have a chance to shine. Each player should go back and look at how they played individually. The missed field goals by Graham Gano hurt

but it was not the total game, everyone played a part in the defeat. Principle Two. Don't send ducks to eagle school. I had just finished reading a book and the messages were simple - don't send or expect someone or some team to be something they are not. As of now the Redskins aren't that good. They have good players, but they are not a good team. I found myself, like everyone else, happy that it was a close game. We have fallen far to be happy that it was not a blowout. The Redskins have to accept the fact they are not that good, so they will have to do everything perfect in order to win. They have to realize their strength will come from working together as a team from knowledge in the game to going all out until the end, in order to even stand a chance to win.

We have a Thanksgiving tradition in my family that many families probably sharebefore we dig into the turkey and stuffing and all the other fixins associated with the holiday, we go around the table and each person shares something that they're thankful for. It can be funny or sweet or poignant, but it should always make you really take a step back and think, and be truly grateful. Everyone has something to be thankful for. So here is why I am thankful at Thanksgiving this year: Anyone on this installation who knows me on a personal or professional level knows that I have had a very rough year. Without giving too much away, my marriage to my first husband ended (badly) after nearly five years, to the day. This situation also presented some other major complications of its own, leaving me a single mother of two to deal with the mess. I also lost my father and my grandmother only two months apart from each other this summer. I am not thankful for these events in and of themselves, but rather for the doors they opened for me, and for the wingmanship I was shown during these tough times. After my children's father left, it forced me to become more self-sufficient, and more aware of my place in my home and in my children's lives, and it's made me a better mom. As my home and my family seemed to be unraveling before me, my larger family stepped in to offer help-my Air Force family. My first sergeant and my supervisor gave me time away from work to take care of personal matters that now demanded my full attention; my friends, neighbors, co-workers and senior leaders offered me
understanding and support in the face of the challenges I was up against; the Air Force offered me resources to help me support and care for my family. For all of this, I am truly thankful. Losing my first husband opened the door for me to meet my new husband, who is one of the greatest blessings I've ever received in my entire life. He has shown me the real meaning of maturity, love, respect, admiration, loyalty and commitment. Losing my father on the weekend of July 4th, and my grandmother just two months later, gave me a new perspective on mortality, and to not squander the time and opportunities we're given in life. I think of him and talk about him almost every day. It's made me appreciate my mother a little more now that she is my only surviving parent. I'm trying to make an effort to call more often, because as the sudden loss of my dad showed me, you never know when your last phone call to your loved ones. may be your last phone call to your loved ones. Once again, when my options were limited and it seemed I was running out of time, the Air Force stepped in to offer another way. I was able to make it home to San Antonio in time to say goodbye to my dad, and I'm thankful for that. You could say that I have faced trial by fire over the course of the past year, but I am thankful for all of the opportunities for personal growth and maturity I've experienced through it all. I believe it has made me a better Airman, wife, mother, daughter and friend. Take stock of the events that have happened in your life, and whether they've made you a better person. Be thankful for all of your blessings-even the ones that come in disguise.

have heard a lot of the good bands, like [Duke] Ellington, [Count] Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman - I played with quite a few of them. I don't think I've ever heard any better ensemble playing, they're just really remarkable," he said. Severinsen received a Grammy Award for "Best Jazz instrumental Performance Big Band" in the 1980s, while still leading the band on the Tonight Show, hosted by Johnny Carson. Dick Golden, host of SiriusXM radio's weekly music program, American Jazz, and emcee of the Note's Jazz Heritage series, said, "Johnny Carson just loved what Doc Severinsen was adding to the program. You'd see Carson with the pencil [moving with the music]; he was in love with that band."
From retirement to busy person and snappy dresser Before going to the Tonight Show, Severinsen worked in a finance department while serving in the U.S. Army. "And you know what, we still won the war," he laughed. Severinsen has played the Air Force Band in the past. His first experience came soon after President John F Kennedy was assassinated in November, 1963, he said. "They provided some great experiences. And tonight, I'm just thrilled to be here." After 30 years with the Tonight Show, Severinsen
said that in 1992, "I went to Mexico to retire and instead I found these guys playing in a band at a restaurant. I've been playing with them ever since." In addition, now living in Tennessee, he has kept busy conducting symphony Pops orchestras and touring with big bands, he reported. Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher D. Miller, the service's deputy chief of staff for strategic plans and programs, said, "We had a tremendous audience tonight. The Airmen of Note did a wonderful job and Doc Serverinsen's talent complimented them beautifully. It was just a tremendous evening; a tremendous demonstration showing what teamwork can do with our Air Force Band and a guest artist." Col. Kenneth R. Rizer, commander of the Air Force's 11th Wing and Joint Base Andrews, Md, remarked, "I think everyone in the house tonight saw that Doc Serverinsen is truly a national icon. To have him performing with us is very, very memorable. We are just thrilled to have him." Air Force Tech. Sgt. Paige Martin, the Note's featured vocalist and a member of the Air Force since 2003, said when she was growing up, while drifting off to sleep at night, she heard Doc Serverinsen and the band playing on The Tonight Show. "To get the opportunity to play music with him is like a dream come true." Martin commented, "He is a great friend of the Note; just a super guy and snappy dresser to boot!" "He's just an amazing man, he's an original," Golden said.
Hasse said, "This band is one of the top big bands in the country and in the world. Its heritage goes back to World War II and Glen Miller. They honor him, the Air Force, the country, and the great jazz composers and performers." "The audiences are just building and building; show after show," Golden stated. "They are not only virtuosos, they are among the kindest, most thoughtful people," he added. "I'm proud the Air Force and country have this band. They are the top of their field," Hasse stated. The Note's manger, Chief Master Sgt. Dudley Hinote, told a TV news crew covering the concert, "The excellence demonstrated by the musicians on stage is a reflection of the excellence carried out daily by Airmen stationed around the world. Their selfless service and sacrifices ensure the freedoms we enjoy as Americans." "I think it is a great service that the Airmen of Note and the Air Force present these concerts free of charge, allowing people of all income levels and all ages, to come out and enjoy America's music and jazz," Hasse concluded. Hinote explained, "Through the power of music, Airmen of the Air Force Band open doors in communities and help build and enhance joint and coalition partnerships, around the world." "God Bless America," Martin proudly exclaimed as she left the stage following the concert.

IT1 Brandon Darby, Defense Intelligence Agency member, is this week's Ace on Deck. Darby was nominated for being a model Sailor and outstanding representative of the quality of people working at JBAB. What is your favorite part of your job? I enjoy interfacing with great people. The opportunity to serve with so many other great service members is truly the best part of my day. What's your favorite color, and why? Red, it's all about the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Kansas City Chiefs! Where is your hometown? Skidmore, Mo. What's your favorite candy? Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. They come in pairs, so there is always one to share. What is your favorite movie quote? The quote is from the movie "Hoosiers" during a scene where five players are on the floor functioning as one single unit. "Team, team, team. No one more important than the other." If you could have any super power, what would it be and why? To fly, I live in Baltimore and that drive to JBAB everyday is painful. What would you do if you won $1 million? I currently drive a 1997 Honda Accord
with no air conditioning, I would definitely start there. After that I would start thinking long term for my kid's well being. 18 years from now college might actually cost $1 million. It would be a nice start. Who inspires you, and why? My wife, Jessica. I have twin 20 month old children, Max and Ava, and the job she does with them is truly inspiring. Her patience and support with my Military duty is unmatched, she is truly the one who enables me to be successful. What is your best military memory? By far my best military memory was manning the rails on my way back home from my first deployment aboard the USS Ross. To deploy after September 11th, complete a successful deployment, and then come back home to people waiting to greet you, it was awesome. What do you want people to know about you? I am a pretty simple guy. I love my family, sports, and the military. There's not a lot else to it.

Leckie preschoolers visit JBAB Commissary By Jackie Anders Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs
The big blue busses pulled up in front of the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Commissary to deliver some very special items. Nearly sixty preschoolers arrived from Leckie Elementary School. Leckie is located off-base, but serves some children who live at JBAB. However, there were many children on the field trip who had never been on base before. Assistant commissary store manager Harry Farrel was at the front door to welcome the young guests. "We are glad to invite the kids to the commissary because we want to participate in community events," Farrel said. "Plus the commissary is a great place to learn about nutrition and we want them to learn healthy life style habits now while they're young." The children are studying nutrition and healthy food choices in their classroom so the trip to the commissary was appropriate according to their teacher, Alva Rowe. Rowe has been a teacher for 30 years and supports good nutrition. "Right now our classroom is set up like a grocery store with the different departments like produce and meats," said Rowe. "Some of the children don't go to the grocery store with their parents so this is very exciting for them," she said. The children walked through the commissary with Farrel stopping to visit with each of the department managers to learn about the food in that section. Some of the students asked a lot questions at the seafood department, particularly about the lobsters.
U.S. NAVY PHOTO BY JACKIE ANDERS
Children from Mrs. Rowe's pre-school class at Leckie Elementary School visit the fish department in the commissary at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Nov. 10. The children were learned about proper nutrition during their visit. The lobsters helped Rowe explain another teaching point for the nutrition instruction: self-regulation. She wants the children to know that they have choices when it comes to healthy eating. The children reinforce those
ideas through make believe play in the classroom. One of the children visiting the commissary was Lanei Tarango, daughter of Corporal Anna Tarango, JBAB Security Services. Tarango helped organize the field trip for the students.
"This is the school our kids go to and it only makes sense that we develop a relationship between them and JBAB," said Tarango. "The kids see military personnel in uniform all the time in their school so they have a curiosity about base already.

Redskin's keys to victory against the Seahawks: 1. No Turnovers. Washington has turned the ball over 21 times this year, that's tied for the most in the league. For them to have any chance on Sunday, they must protect the ball. 2. Get off to a good start. One of the hardest places to get a win is at CenturyLink field in Seattle. For the Redskins to get a win, they need to get an early lead and take the crowd out of the game. 3. PressureTarvaris Jackson. The Redskins defensive has 27 sacks on the year.

shopping. The children left with a nutritional snack courtesy of Farrel. "We have some things for them to take back to school, a goody bag to remind them of their visit here," said Farrel. "I hope they all come back." Jackson has been sacked 22 times on the season. That's the sixth most in the league. If they can get pressure on him, the Redskins can force him into making mistakes.
