Are you as prepared for hurricanes as you are for summer fun?

By Ashley Charfauros

633RD CIVIL ENGINEER SQUADRON JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

As people prepare for summer fun, they should also prepare for another part of the season, hurricane readiness.

For the Hampton Roads area, June 1 to Nov. 30 is hurricane season.

To protect homes, families, and businesses from any natural disaster, people should familiarize themselves with the disaster cycle; preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation, and use the many resources available to assist in the process.

The preparedness phase focuses on education and outreach, pre-disaster planning, and disaster preparedness activities. It can begin at any time (not just right before a disaster strikes). Preparedness is by far the most important as it is the conduit to life safety and property/environmental conservation.

BASIC PREPAREDNESS TIPS: Have a plan; sit down with your family and discuss emergency phone numbers, where to go in the event of an evacuation, print copies of important documents, etc.

Create an emergency kit and gobag; supplies could include non-perishable food, water, flashlight, crank radio, first aid supplies, medications, etc.

Make a record of personal property; Take photos of the entirety of your home and personal belongings such as

electronics and jewelry.

Sign up for Joint Base Langley-Eustis’ AtHoc Notification System to receive emergency notifications, base closures, weather updates, etc.

For more information, contact JBLE’s Emergency Management Office at (757)764-4840.

PREPARE YOUR HOME (18 HOURS FROM HURRICANE ARRIVAL): Secure outside items such as grills, outdoor furniture, pool supplies, etc. Hurricane winds can propel loose items causing damage.

Trim or remove damaged tree limbs and loose branches.

Secure loose rain gutters or spouts.

Reinforce windows and doors.

Turn refrigerator and freezer to coldest settings, and only open when necessary.

Purchase a portable generator to use during power outages; do this sooner rather than later as generators tend to get more expensive as hurricane season approaches.

Identify a safe room in the home that has minimal windows for shelter from high winds or possible tornadoes.

Before the hurricane arrives, it is important to monitor television, radio,

and social media. For the latest weather updates and emergency instructions, follow the installation’s official social media pages including Twitter pages, JBLEnews and JBLEstatus, and the Joint Base Langley Eustis Facebook page.

Ensure you have a full tank of gas and extra gas cans for motor vehicles and generators. Once the hurricane makes landfall, remain indoors and away from windows and doors. Refrain from going outside for any reason as most injuries occur during the storm which requires emergency responders to risk their own life to perform rescue operations.

For more hurricane related information, to include Hampton Roads evacuation routes, flood zones, and emergency kit checklists, contact the JBLE Emergency Management Flights at (757)764-4840 or (757)878-6801.

We want to hear from you. Contact us at 633abw.paedit@us.af.mil, or call 878-4920 or 764-5701.

JBLE experiments with CAIB format

By Jennifer Spradlin 633RD AIR BASE WING

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

As the U.S. Air Force continues to focus on building agile, joint warfighters, senior leaders from Joint Base LangleyEustis met for a newly formatted version of the Community Action Information Board June 8, 2018.

The CAIB is a forum to discuss issues that impact installation and their families. Traditionally, when held here, the CAIB was in a more formal setting, and structured around a series of briefings rather than interactive discussion.

Carole Barton, the JBLE community support coordinated, modelled the most recent CAIB after a successful program at another installation, but took the format one step further by tying in a Mission Impossible theme.

“The title of the event is ‘Mission Pos-

sible: Teams Working Real Problems, Finding Real Solutions,” Barton said.

“We designed it so that instead of listening to briefings, [the participants] are intermixed as a group of enlisted and officers, with both Air Force and Army leaders. Diversity of thought is important to our success on these issues.”

Each group worked through a mission scenario that dealt with either crisis management, negative equal opportunity feedback or processing inspector general complaints. For example, one scenario depicted a unit that had splintered in the aftermath of an alleged sexual assault. The group had to develop a plan to ensure their service members were respected and capable of completing their missions while considering how to effectively communicate throughout the crisis.

According to Senior Master Sgt. Me-

JBLE is experimenting with the format of the CAIB to produce stronger leadership development and encourage leader networking.

SEARCHing for opportunity Connecting youth with autism to workforce

By Airman 1st Class Monica Roybal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

As Project SEARCH’s graduating class took the stage, a mother feels comfort seeing her son walk away with a sense of accomplishment and security. Her worries about him, an individual with autism spectrum disorder, fade knowing he now has tools to join the workforce.

This is how U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Rhonda Gayle, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Inspector General assistant inspector general, felt when her son, Tommy Lindsey, graduated June 7, at Fort Eustis’ Wylie Theater with a job offer from General Smalls Inn. Gayle said she enrolled Lindsey in the program hoping he would leave with some work experience from the internships, but the program exceeded her expectations.

“He would tell me about his day working at the General Smalls Inn, and he was excited to tell me about what he did there and the people he worked with,” Gayle said, “I was really happy to know he bonded with his coworkers because I had my reservations that some people might not understand his condition and treat him differently or harshly, but they treated him like family and I knew he was in good hands.”

Project SEARCH

The 2018 graduates are the inaugural class to participate in the Joint Base Lang-

ley-Eustis and Virginia Commonwealth University partnership program. Students in the program gain competitive employment through internships at organizations including the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, McDonald Army Health Center, Anderson Field House, General Smalls Inn and the Fort Eustis Club.

Project SEARCH researchers and Fort Eustis leaders initiated the program at JBLE to teach young adults with disabilities various job skills that can be carried over to numerous military installations; helping military members and their families deal with new duty assignments and establishing new roots.

According to Carol Schall, Ph. D., Virginia Commonwealth University Autism Center for Excellence director of technical assistance and Project SEARCH project director, more than 80 percent of young adults with autism are unemployed.

Schall said after 10 years of implementing the program off base, about 70 to 90 percent of youth who go through the program gain employment within a year of completion.

“We wanted to take what we learned in the community and apply it to military youth,” Schall said. “This is especially critical for youth with ASD because military families must relocate frequently. An individual who works at the commissary here is going to be able to transfer those skills across the country and bring with them a recommendation from someone here on base.”

Schall said this is the first program in the U.S. that is uniquely built for militaryconnected youth with ASD, who face » See AUTISM | 11

EVERY MORNING MY HUMAN SHAVES OFF HIS FACE FUR, HE’S FUNNY LIKE THAT.

Col. George Day advanced to the rank of brigadier general

By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs WASHINGTON (AFNS)

—TUCK adopted 05-04-11

“off the hook”

You may not understand everything kids say.

But that’s ok. You don’t have to be perfect to be a perfect parent. Because kids in foster care don’t need perfection. They need you. AdoptUsKids.org

Medal of Honor recipient Col. George “Bud” Day was posthumously advanced to the rank of brigadier general during a Heritage to Horizons summer concert series at the Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, June 8, 2018.

Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David L. Goldfein presided over the concert and opened the series by thanking Day and those who served alongside him during the Vietnam War. “I’d like to recognize all our Vietnam era veterans and thank them for their service,” said Goldfein.

“Tonight we gather to remember those who gave the last measure of devotion, those missing in action, those who endured the harsh and tyrannical treatment at places like the Hanoi Hilton and their families.”

Day, an Air Force fighter pilot who was shot down in the Vietnam War, is considered to be one of America’s most decorated service members. During his military service, he served in World War II,

Korea and Vietnam. Day earned 70 decorations, to include the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Air Force Cross.

The events of August 26, 1967, would indelibly change his life.

While flying a mission over North Vietnam, Day was shot down and immediately captured by the North Vietnamese. Nursing a dislocated knee and an arm broken in three places, he managed to escape captivity and evade the enemy for two weeks. He made his way back into South Vietnam, earning the distinction of being the only prisoner to actually escape from North Vietnam. Unfortunately, Day was just two miles from the safety of a U.S. Marine Corps base when he was shot and recaptured by a Viet Cong patrol.

Thereafter, he defiantly and resolutely endured a brutal, 67-month imprisonment that finally ended in repatriation on March 14, 1973.

Three days later, Day was reunited with his wife and four children at March Air Force Base, California.

Senator John McCain, a comrade in arms and cellmate of Day, delivered the following on the Senate floor after Day’s passing:

Air Force fighter pilot who was shot down in the Vietnam War Considered to be one of America’s most decorated service members Served in World War II Served in Korea Served in Vietnam Earned 70 decorations, to include the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Air Force Cross.

“Those who knew Bud after the war could see how tough he was.

But, my God, to have known him in prison — confronting our enemies day-in and day-out; never, ever yielding — defying men who had the power of life and death over us; to witness him sing the national anthem in response to having a rifle pointed at his face — well, that was something to behold. Unforgettable. No one had more guts than Bud or greater determination to do his duty and then some — to keep faith with his country and his comrades whatever the cost. Bud was my commanding officer; but, more, he was my inspiration — as he was for all the men who were privileged to serve under him.”

The posthumous advancement of Day was introduced by McCain and directed by the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act and was effective March 27, 2018.

Air Force implements new parental leave policy, secondary caregivers given 21 days

By Secretary of the Air Force PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON (AFNS)

In accordance with the Department of Defense Military Parental Leave Program, the Air Force announced an expansion to its parental leave policy on non-chargeable leave entitlements following the birth or adoption of a child.

Previously, Air Force policy authorized 12 consecutive weeks of maternity convalescent leave to female Airmen who gave birth. Additionally, 10 days of non-chargeable leave were given to an Airman whose spouse gave birth.

Effective immediately, the new policy applies to Total Force Airmen who are birth mothers and fathers, samesex couples, as well as adoptive and surrogate parents.

Reserve Component Airmen should refer to Air Force Instruction 36-3003 for specific eligibility requirements.

Under the new policy, AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program, outlines three forms of non-chargeable leave following a qualifying birth event or adoption: maternity

convalescent leave, primary caregiver leave and secondary caregiver leave.

Now maternity convalescent leave is six weeks (42 days), primary caregiver leave is six weeks, and secondary caregiver leave is three weeks (21 days). Every birth mother will have convalescent leave. Caregiver leave is given in addition to the convalescent leave.

Covered service members having a child by birth, adoption or surrogacy will determine which parent is the primary and secondary caregiver. Designations for caregiver status should be made as early as possible and follow Department of Defense guidance. Each parent can only hold one caregiver status per birth event or adoption; for example, a secondary cannot transfer their leave to the primary caregiver.

Airmen should submit their caregiver leave as determined by their local unit commanders. Until LeaveWeb is altered to allow for a caregiver leave category, members will request the non-chargeable caregiver leave by selecting (T) Permissive on the type dropdown menu, and then

For more information AFI 36-3003 or contact Air Force Total Force Service Center at 1-800-565-0102. choosing rule 18 for primary and rule 19 for secondary.

Until the AF Form 988 is altered, Airmen who cannot use LeaveWeb, should check “Other” in block 8 and specify primary or secondary in the remarks.

For all three types of parental leave, the allotted time off must be taken all at once and cannot be split up. Primary and secondary caregiver leave can be taken any time within the first year after a child’s birth or adoption.

The Air Force policy, authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, is effective immediately and retroactive to December 23, 2016.

The Air Force Personnel Center will send out guidance via MyPers on the process for requesting restoration of qualifying non-chargeable leave.

Frequently Asked Questions can be found here. For additional information regarding the Military Leave Program, please visit AFI 36-3003 or contact Air Force Total Force Service Center at 1-800-565-0102.

Emergency services team tests JBLE FIRST RESPONDERS

•

June 15, 2018

1st Class Javelle Crite, emergency services team tactical team member, individuals are also tested on their ability to work with a team. This concept is vital to EST, because their lives depend on their team members.

Members in EST, [similar to any rst responder] must be ready for any and all incidents at JBLE. “We are here for the ‘what if,’” Day said. “We train for the worst and hope for the best, but just because we are on a military base, that doesn’t exclude us from having [high risk] responses.”

To ensure that EST is ready for that call, they

make sure that the Airmen trying out can deal with the pressure and work well as a team. Once on the team the training will only get more dif cult and they will train like their lives depend on it, because when EST is in the eld it does.

For more information on the emergency services team or how to participate in the Wednesday’s training call (757) 764-6108.

By Senior Airman Tristan Biese

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

The emergency services team held tryouts for ve rst responders competing to join the team here, from June 8 — 9.

The tryouts occur once every quarter for all rst responders, such as members from the 633rd Security Forces Squadron, 633rd Medical Group, 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department and 633rd CES Explosive Ordinance Disposal at Joint Base Langley-Eustis. “[The EST is] a wing level asset that helps combat terrorist activity, high risk response or high risk activity,” said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Daniel Day, emergency services team leader.

“We do that by securing the base, personnel and resources.”

The demand for what Airmen bring to the ght will only increase and it is vital to take steps to ensure the readiness of the force.

To ensure this, the EST invites all members of JBLE to train with them every Wednesday.

According to Day, all Airmen, no matter their job title should build their tactical skillset. The training that EST does is not just useful downrange but at home as well.

The EST tryouts lasted for about 22 hours, starting at 5 a.m. and consisted of swimming, a tness obstacle course, a 3-mile ruck and combat drills ending the next morning at 3 a.m.

The tryouts are built to induce both mental and physical stress in the individuals, so that the instructors may see how they will act in a fast paced and stressful environment.

‘The future is hanging upon your action’

The battle for Lys took place April 9 — 27, 1918 and is one of the U.S. Army’s campaign streamers.

However, most of the combatants were French, British and German.

How American forces turned the tide in WWI

By David Vergun

ARMY NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON

By March 1918, it appeared that Germany was gaining the upper hand in its fight against allied forces during World War I. The Russian army on the Eastern Front had collapsed, allowing about a million soldiers from Germany and other Central Powers nations who had been engaged there to move against British, French, Canadian, and a small contingent of U.S. forces on the Western Front.

The German Spring Offensive, March through June 1918, was designed to win the war before U.S. troops arrived in substantial numbers, said Air Force Lt. Col. Mark E. Grotelueschen.

And the Germans nearly succeeded, said Grotelueschen, who authored the U.S. Army Center of Military History World War I pamphlet “Into the Fight: AprilJune 1918.”

By April 1, the Germans had 26 percent more soldiers than all the allied force, and had captured more territory than they had since the war started in 1914. By May 27, they came within 35 miles of Paris. More than a million people fled the French capital and the British contemplated an evacuation of the continent.

When the Spring Offensive began March 21, there was just one American division, the 1st Infantry Division, at the line of trenches that marked the front line. The other divisions — the 2nd, 42nd and 26th — were still in their final phase of training by the French in a quiet sector away from the front.

In May and June, around 460,000 U.S. Soldiers and Marines poured into France to bolster the war effort, he said.

BATTLE FOR CANTIGNY

On April 17, the 1st Infantry Division marched toward Cantigny, in northern France. Before their march, Gen. John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force, gave them a pep talk that left a lasting impression, Grotelueschen said.

Pershing said in part: “You are the finest Soldiers in Europe today. ... Our people today are hanging upon your deeds. The future is hanging upon your action in this conflict.”

Among those Soldiers listening intently to Pershing was Lt. Col. George C. Marshall, the future Army chief of staff, who would later lead the Army through World

War II, Grotelueschen said.

During the division’s first few weeks, there were no German infantry attacks, Grotelueschen said. But that didn’t mean it was a safe zone.

The artillery fire was nearly continuous and often included mustard gas, he said. Enemy aircraft adjusted artillery fire and occasionally bombed and strafed the American positions.

The battle for Cantigny lasted from May 28-30. It was the first American attack ever to use airplanes, tanks and flamethrowers, in addition to mortars and artillery — what is today referred to as combined arms warfare.

It was also the first American-led battle of the war, with the other participants being French troops, Grotelueschen said.

The bulk of the fighting was done by Soldiers of the 28th Infantry Regiment. They suffered 941 killed or wounded, while the German toll was around 1,500.

“In the gruesome calculus of an attritional war, the fledgling AEF had done what it needed to do. It had killed and wounded more of the enemy than it had lost,” Grotelueschen noted, adding that it “showed friend and foe alike that Americans will both fight and stick.”

The Cantigny battle would become a theme for the months to follow until the end of the war, Nov. 11, 2018, he said. “The inexperienced Americans helped stop German attacks with tenacious defense; proved able to push the Germans back at various points along the line; and, with rare exceptions, held on to whatever terrain they seized.”

DEFENSE OF CHATEAU-THIERRY

On May 31, elements of the 3rd Infantry Division began arriving in the vicinity of the Chateau-Thierry in northern France.

House-to-house fighting ensued. At one point, the French thought that the Germans would capture the city, so they blew up the main bridge across the Marne River, leaving some American forces stranded on the other side.

The U.S. Soldiers put up a brave counterattack, making a “critical contribution to the massive French effort to stop the Germans,” who were now within artillery shelling distance of Paris, Grotelueschen said.

Philippe Petain, commander of the French army, wrote a special citation for the U.S. 7th Machine-Gun Battalion, he said. It read in part: “In the course of violent combat, particularly the 31st of May and the 1st of June, 1918, it disputed foot by foot with the Germans the northern outskirts of Château-Thierry, covered itself with glory, thanks to its valor and its skill, costing the enemy sanguinary losses.”

JOINT OPERATIONS

While the 1st and 3rd Infantry Divisions were engaged in battle, the 2nd Infantry Division, made up of a conglomeration of Army and Marine regiments, was arriving in the vicinity of Lucy-le-Bocage, also in northern France.

Some of the most brutal fighting of the war was done

by U.S. Marines in a forest known as Belleau Wood June 6-26.

“The allies were desperate not merely for good news, but especially for reassurances to the tired French and British forces that the Americans had entered the fight at last,” Grotelueschen said. “For their part, the Germans could not ignore the fact that in those battles the rookie 2nd Infantry Division (had) severely damaged regiments from four experienced German divisions.

The tide was turning.”

“What I like to say to my Airmen is that ‘it doesn’t matter if you are new to the Air Force or you have been serving for more than a decade, everyone has value to bring to the team’ – whether it’s to the mission or a personal experience they can share with someone else, and the same applies when we talk across the services,” said Lt. Col. Richard Major, 36th Intelligence Squadron commander. “They’re all going to have different perspectives and experiences that we can share to strengthen each other’s leadership skills.”

“What I’ve found is we can always rely on our fellow leaders to help us through those tough scenarios. And it makes us stronger on the other side.”

— Lt. Col. Richard Major 36th Intelligence Squadron commander

Despite serving 20 years in the Air Force, he said that these exercises were still beneficial to his development as an Air Force leader.

“As leaders we need to be learning every day, there’s always something new. What I’ve found is we can always rely on our fellow leaders to help us through those tough scenarios,” Major said. “And it makes us stronger on the other side.”

The 633rd Dental Squadron has launched its Red Cross Volunteer Dental Assistant Program. This six-month program provides volunteers with the requisite training to build a foundation for a career in dentistry. Volunteers will learn about dental instruments and equipment, oral anatomy, physiology, radiology, front-desk and reception duties, and will learn how to work chairside, hand-in-hand with dentists in all dental disciplines. The program is open to military family members and retirees ages 18 and up.

Volunteers selected for the program will work full-time from 6:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays. Upon completion of this program, volunteers will receive an official American Red Cross Volunteer certificate of training. Although the certificate will not certify participants as dental assistants, it does create unique opportunities for graduates to work in the local community as civilian dental assistants.

Applications are now available at the Red Cross Volunteer Office inside the Joint Base Langley-Eustis Hospital. All applicants must undergo a background check. For more information, contact Judy Theodosakis at (757)225-4060, or Robert Baldwin at (757)764-6384.

Manpower shortage impacts 633rd Medical Group services

The 633rd Medical Group strives to provide Trusted Care to all they serve, while supporting many deployed and home-station missions. Due to contract vacancies and multiple provider deployments/permanent changes of station during the coming months, it will take longer to receive appointments and have messages returned.

This action is being taken to ensure patients receive the care they deserve within the established standards. There will be no enrollment changes or action taken to any patients who are already enrolled at the 633rd Medical Group, regardless of category.
