Airman earns award from every branch of service

By Airman 1st Class Alexandra Singer,

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

Not many people can say they’ve received awards from every branch of service in the military.

Through hard work, dedication and a love for his job, U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Ryan Folks, 192nd Medical Group health systems specialist, 149th Fighter Squadron medical element NCO in charge, and aerospace medical services technician, achieved just that.

UPBRINGING “Although we may have not had the best of everything, we made the best of everything,” said Folks.

According to Folks, his humble beginnings are what made him who he is today.

From the time he was born, until his high school years, both of Folks’ grandfathers taught him to not take things for granted.

“I learned to always treat people the way you want to be treated and to try to make a difference,” said Folks.

BEGINNING OF A CAREER According to Folks, he initially wanted to build racecars for a living, but ended up getting a heart for people somewhere along the way.

“Divine intervention stepped in and next thing you know I wanted to do something in public safety, whether it be fire, police or emergency medical services

but I didn’t have the money to do it,” said Folks. “I found a job where I could be paid to do it all and that’s when I enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard.”

After joining the U.S. Coast Guard and finishing basic military training, Folks was sent to U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Chase in San Diego, California, where he spent the first 4 years of his career.

“I started working as a mechanics assistant but we were called firemen or firemen apprentice. It dates back to the days of steam engines; it was our job to keep the fire going,” said Folks. “I knew I wanted to do something medical, but there was a twoyear wait, then they closed the school.”

While on the Cutter Chase, Folks was recognized for his hard work and received his first achievement medal, the U.S. Coast Guard Achievement Medal.

“The first achievement medal was very humbling,” said Folks. “I felt as if I was just doing my job, but they saw that I could wear many different hats. I’m happy to help out anybody who needs it when they need it.”

From the Cutter Chase, Folks continued in the reserves and was transferred to San Francisco, California.

He was cross trained from admin and personnel work to medical work and was sent to corpsman school and oversaw medical readiness for troops.

“I met somebody pretty amazing and decided to follow her to the East Coast,” said Folks.

After a year and a half stationed in San Francisco, Folks moved to Massachusetts with his new wife and was assigned to a port security unit.

“I was sent to independent duty corpsman school, which is basically being a medical provider,” said Folks. “On top of doing medical stuff, they sent me to a lot of training in Camp Legume, North Carolina. My last stint with them was an eight-month deployment to the Middle East.”

During that time, he was exposed to working with different branches of service, as his job was to provide waterside security to high valued assets and cargo ships going in and out of the port, as well as seeing patients out of the clinic.

“The cool thing about WORKING WITH OTHER medicine is that it’s univerBRANCHES OF SERVICE sal,” said Folks. “People are

going to get sick, they’re going to slip, trip, and fall and it doesn’t matter what uniform you’re wearing. It’s one team, one fight. This led to the 2nd achievement medal.”

During his deployment, the Navy recognized him for a job well done.

“I was the only coast guard corpsman that went with my unit and they primarily had me work out the clinic,” said Folks. “They also needed a medic to provide medical coverage for the waterside security team, so with my law enforcement background, they said, ‘Folks, you’re our guy.’”

CHANGE OF PACE After almost 10 years of service in the Coast Guard, Folks made a life changing decision to separate from the military. “[My wife was also an] active duty military member and it was becoming hard for us both to be co-located without one of us being gone » See AWARD | 8

Service members honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland,

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, celebrated on January 15th in recognition of his birthday, celebrates his life and the legacy he left behind, promoting equality and social justice while encouraging community service and involvement.

Members of the Joint Base LangleyEustis community gathered to celebrate the accomplishments and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during ceremonies held Jan. 11 and 12, 2018.

This year’s theme, “Remember! Celebrate! Act! A day on, not a day off!” served to remind JBLE service members and employees that while Monday was a federal holiday, it should be used as a day of community service, unity and inclusion.

The Woodside High School orchestra prepares to perform the Star-Spangled Banner at Fort Eustis’ Wylie Theater during the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., Jan. 11, 2018. This year’s theme is “Remember! Celebrate! Act! A day on, not a day off!”

At Fort Eustis’ ceremony, the Woodside High School Arts and Communications Magnet Program choir, guitar group and orchestra performed musical selections in honor of King. Additionally, students in the Creative Writing group performed poetry readings in honor of King’s “I have a dream” speech.

“Events such as this one are a call upon all of us to reflect on where we have come from as an Army, as a society, as a nation,” said U.S. Army Brig.

Gen. Donna Martin, U.S. Army Military Police School commandant. “It’s vital that we reflect on those things that make our Army so very special, like diversity, equality and inclusion. Those are just some of the traits that make America’s Army the strongest, finest fighting force the world has ever seen.”

At Langley Air Force Base, Wayne Gomes, former Major League Baseball player and event guest speaker, highlighted the impacts of King’s work and

the risks he took to fight for his dream.

“This holiday honors the courage of a man who endured harassment, threats, beatings and even bombings,” said Gomes. “Every Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday is a teaching lesson of values, unconditional love, forgiveness, tolerance and reconciliation, from which we are deeply unified.”

Cousins in arms: a shared service

By Senior Airman Kaylee Dubois,

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

Nathaniel Layton grew up in Greenville, Tennessee, just a half-hour away from Knoxville, Tennessee, where his cousin, Patrick May, lived.

Although the boys only met once growing up, today they are closer than ever and owe their chance to grow together, personally and professionally, to the Army.

Coming from a long line of military members, both men had a feeling they would end up joining the military in one capacity or another.

Now a U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 assigned to the 97th Transportation Company, 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), Layton works as a chief engineer on a Landing Craft Utility vessel.

Furthermore, May, a Chief Warrant Officer 5, works as the chief maritime qualification director for the Office of the Chief of Transportation. The two never imagined they would end up working together in the watercraft field.

“I was an aviation mechanic in the U.S. Marine Corps and loved everything about it,” said Layton. “In 1995, they gave the choice of two different careers to cross-train into, but I knew that I wouldn’t enjoy working in them. I knew getting out was the best way to go.”

After ending his service in the Marine Corps, Layton started his own contracting business. While working in the civilian sector for 15 years, his cousin worked his way up the ranks in the Army.

When the economy declined in the early 2000s, Layton knew the only way to support his family was to put the uniform back on, and the Army was his way back in.

“I missed the Marine Corps the whole time I was out,” said Layton. “The first day I put the uniform back on, it felt like I had never left.”

With a few years already under his belt, Layton knew he was ready to apply for a warrant officer position. While confiding in his father about this decision, his father told him to reach out to his cousin, Pat, who was already a warrant officer.

Getting in contact with May was one of the best things that he did to jump start

his warrant officer career, noted Layton.

May helped Layton get his foot in the door, and soon after, he was on his way to Warrant Officer Candidate School at Fort Rucker, Alabama.

“I suggested joining the watercraft field because we are incredibly undermanned,” said May. “I knew Nate would be the perfect fit for the job.”

For both the Soldiers, being a mariner runs through their veins. They attribute their love of the water to their ancestors, who were known as the King’s Watermen in medieval England.

“I sometimes wonder if our gravitation toward the field goes back to our past,” said May. “If not, it certainly is quite the coincidence.”

From day one on the job, May noted he was a natural on the water. Whether sailing boats or fixing them, he had a knack for the craft, which he picked randomly after enlisting after high school.

“I saw the video of the watercraft field in the recruiter’s office and thought it would be a cool job,” said May. “I fell in love with the mission, the boats, the traveling, and 33 years later I’m still here.”

This series of events led to the two Soldiers being stationed together at Fort Eustis, where the primary mission is transportation.

Now sharing the same mission, Layton and May spend time together often, either helping each other in their field or just bonding over remodeling a kitchen.

“I consider Pat one of my biggest mentors, in and out of work,” said Layton.

“He’s been a warrant officer for most of his career and he’s an expert in his field.

Outside of work, he’s there for me 24/7 and vice versa. It’s great knowing you have family close by.”

Both Chiefs suggest young service members continuously seek out mentors throughout their careers. Even as the most senior vessel director, May said he wouldn’t be as successful without the people he leans on every day.

Creeping up to his retirement and with two trips around the world on his resume, May says he’s ready to pass his legacy on to Layton.

Although they didn’t share much growing up, now, through their shared service, the cousins continue to keep the nation’s waters and citizens safe by serving on the Army’s most versatile vessels.

AOP BREATHES LIFE INTO F-22 MISSION

By Airman 1st Class Tristan Biese,

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

An aircraft is vital to the Air Force’s mission but it can’t do much without a pilot. The pilot is the brain of the aircraft and just like the human body, if the brain isn’t functioning correctly the body can’t work properly.

The brain needs oxygen to do its job properly and while at all altitudes the air stays relatively the same being made up of 21 percent Oxygen, 78 percent Nitrogen, .93 percent Argon and 1% other minor gases, it’s the decrees in pressure that can affect the pilot.

As the altitude increases the pressure decreases lowering the amount of oxygen that is forced into a person’s lungs.

When the heart and/or lungs can’t provide the blood with the proper amount of oxygen, the brain and other organs may suffer from hypoxia, and this can be fatal if not corrected.

It’s the job of 1st Operations Group aerospace and operational physiology to train the pilots to understand and recognize the symptoms they may receive while becoming hypoxic.

Some symptoms may include tingling in extremities, affected vision, nausea, light headedness, euphoria and/or belligerency.

“Our training is important, safety because when the pilots go up in altitude they’ll get different symptoms when they get lack of oxygen and we want to make sure they recognize them,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Dylan Crump, 1st OG AOP

technician. “If individuals who did not get this training went up in altitude they may not recognize what hypoxia was or recognize their symptoms, they could potentially pass out and crash the aircraft.”

While using the ROBD, the instructor continuously speaks with the individual to keep them busy, all while monitoring their vitals and slowly reducing his oxygen intake. As the individual recognizes their symptoms, they let the instructor know and the instructors then pump 100 percent oxygen through the mask.

INFLUENZA is in the Air!

By 633rd Medical Group Public Health

What is Influenza (also called the Flu) The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year, available at the 633rd Medical Group.

Transmission Spread mainly by tiny droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby.

Less often, a person might also get the flu by touching a surface or object that has the flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.

Signs and Symptoms People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms that usually start suddenly, not gradually: Fever or feeling feverish/chills (may not be present in all cases) Cough Sore throat Runny or stuffy nose Muscle or body aches Headaches

Fatigue (very tired) Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea Prevention Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

Wear a face mask Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.

If you experience symptoms: Seek medical attention Stay home until you are better If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine except to get medical care or for other necessities.

For more information on Influenza, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/ flu/index.htm or contact Mr. Ruiz or 1Lt Seth Bard at 633 MDG Public Health at 757-764-6731 Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

all the time,” said Folks. “She was tasked to go to school in San Diego and I knew if I was to follow her, I’d be deployed right away. I decided it was my time to go back to school.”

Folks’ inactive ready reserve status lasted about a year and a half. During that time, He stayed home with his daughter while also going to school full time for nursing.

They would later find out that his wife received orders back to the east coast again but this time, to Virginia. Unfortunately, all the hard work Folks had put into his school work would not be able to transfer with him.

FINDING A PURPOSE It was a Saturday morning in his Biology class when Folks received a phone call from his wife, that his daughter had hit her head and was knocked unconscious.

His wife and daughter had been at a playground when the accident happened.

As they were rushed into an ambulance, they realized the stroller they had with them would not fit in the back of the emergency vehicle.

“They ended up throwing it in the back of a firetruck and said, ‘hey, just come pick it up when you get discharged,” said Folks. “The paramedics that took care of her were awesome.”

After his daughter was discharged from the hospital, Folks was not only able to thank the emergency responders personally, but they gave him a tour of the station.

“This experience kind of rejuvenated my love of wanting to help people again,” said Folks. “I wanted to be like the guys that were there for my family, I want to be able to do that for somebody one day.”

In July of 2011, the family moved to Virginia and due to the great experience with the emergency medical team, Folks did research and found an emergency medical services program to attend.

BACK TO WORK “I realized I also missed wearing a uniform,” said Folks. “I’m going to get back in, but I’m going to do this right.”

Folks enlisted into the Virginia Air National Guard and immediately ran into issues as none of the credentials he earned during his time in the Coast Guard or civilian schooling would transfer. Although

he was an independent duty corpsman with a nursing background and one semester away from a paramedic’s degree, Folks was mandated to go back to tech school and start from the ground up.

After working his way back up in the ANG, he was assigned NCO in charge of the squadron medical element, which led Folks to receive a full time position with the 192nd Medical Group.

“The opportunity arose to deploy, around this time my wife decided that being married to me and juggling two careers wasn’t working out,” said Folks. “It is what it is. It’s been my driving force now.”

According to Folks, the deployment was exactly what he needed. He was able to mentor junior troops and was able to have more hands on care with patients, which is what he was most passionate about.

He was also able to apply the paperwork knowledge he acquired from his Monday through Friday job as a health systems specialist.

“Having just served with Tech. Sgt. Folks while deployed, I got to witness his professionalism and work ethic first hand,” said Lt. Col. Michael Schaner, 149th Fighter Squadron commander. “He is absolutely the best of the best, as you can’t beat his vast experience in multiple services, positive attitude in everything he does, and willingness to put the team before himself.”

After returning from deployment, Folks was awarded the Air Force achievement award, NCO in charge of the year and overall guardsmen of the year awards.

NEW BEGINNINGS Now with a new home and all his awards under his belt, Folks is hopeful about what the future holds.

“Your time in the military is really what you make of it,” said Folks.

Folks is eligible for retirement from the Guard in five years or add another eight to that for two retirements. According to Folks, he also has options to go back to school for more certifications in doing what he loves in a clinic or flying and is now a nationally certified paramedic.

With options for his future, Folks is leaving it up to his faith.

“I know I’m not the one driving this bus, I know God is good and I’m just going to try my best to stay in tune and just enjoy the ride,” said Folks.
