ing a ‘Fit to Fight’ military.”

Early signs of respiratory illness that members should look out for include:  Chronic cough  Shortness of breath  Difficulty breathing  Chronic chest pain  Noisy breathing or wheezing According to Livsey, members should not wait for all these symptoms to appear before seeing a doctor.

If a member feels they should be checked for a respiratory illness or experiences a respiratory emergency, they should seek medical attention.

“Each respiratory technician’s experience, skills and knowledge provide the information for service members to ensure they have optimal respiratory care and health,” said U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Katie Rogers, 633rd MDG respiratory technician.

Avoiding respiratory illness is pos-

sible. The respiratory health team encourages members to quit smoking/ vaping, stay away from allergens or get allergy testing done, take respiratory/allergy medication as prescribed and research and become knowledgeable on respiratory illness.

For more information on respiratory care, please contact one of the respiratory technicians on either Langley at 757-764-6982 or Fort Eustis at 757-314-7604.

Dislocation allowance now available before PCS moves

Soldiers and their Families can now receive dislocation allowance ahead of a permanent change of station move after the Army updated its policy in an effort to reduce the burden of moving.

The new policy is effective Oct. 10, when Gen. James C. McConville, chief of staff of the Army, and Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy signed the policy. Soldiers who possess an individually-billed government charge card are eligible for the advance payment.

Dislocation allowance, or DLA, partially reimburses Soldiers for the expenses incurred while relocating to a new duty station on PCS orders.

Payment rates can range from about $978 to nearly $5,000, based on rank or if a Soldier has dependents.

The allowance does not have to be paid back.

The change comes after McConville asked for a review of certain policies to alleviate the peak PCS season that occurs every summer.

“His intent was to try and lessen the burden of a PCS move on Soldiers and Families,” said Larry Lock, chief of compensation and entitlements at the Army’s G-1 office. “This was just one of those areas that we took a look at and saw that we had the policy flexibility to make those changes.”

The new policy modifies a 2014 policy that directed government charge cards to be used for all PCS

travel and relocation expenses. That policy, officials said, was to benefit cardholders so they wouldn’t have to pay for moving expenses out of their own pocket.

Officials still urge Soldiers to use their travel cards for PCS moves.

“The new policy change only affects DLA,” Lock said. “The policy still requires the use of the government travel card for all other travel allowances.”

To request a DLA advance, Soldiers need to fill out the Defense Finance and Accounting Service Form 9114.

Or, they can receive the DLA after their move is completed when their fill out their Defense Department Form 1351-2 travel voucher.

Additional policy changes The Army is also pursuing efforts to ease other challenges during PCS moves.

One initiative being considered is getting Soldiers their orders 120 days before their PCS date, said Maj. Gen. Michel M. Russell, G-4 assistant deputy chief of staff.

Russell and others spoke last week during a family forum at the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting and Exposition.

Further, the Army is developing a knowledge-based smartphone application to assist with the household goods, or HHG, process, he said. The app will streamline all HHG resources and policies into one location, allowing Soldiers and their families to discover benefits that can help them before, during, and after the HHG process.

YORKTOWN DAY A SALUTE TO AMERICAN REVOLUTION VICTORY

By A1C Sarah Dowe

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS YORKTOWN, VA.

Yorktown Day is an annual event which commemorates the siege at Yorktown in 1781 and the revolutionary victory that paved the way for America and freedom.

This was the last major military action of the American Revolution, effectively securing independence for the American colonies following a six-and-a-half-year military struggle, U.S. Air Force Airmen from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., took part in the Yorktown Day Parade at the Yorktown Battlefield, Oct. 19.

Families came out to watch as the military branches and other local organizations marched down Main Street celebrating this important day.

The day’s events were hosted by the National Park Service and included; commemorative ceremonies at the French Cemetery and Memorial, a wreath laying at the grave of Governor Thomas Nelson, Jr. at the Grace Episcopal Church and the Monument to Alliance and Victory, patriotic exercises and the Yorktown Day parade.

The past meets the present: 1 FW hosts reunion tour

By A1C Marcus M. Bullock

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

The Air Force lifestyle is sometimes full of traditions ranging from formal military ceremonies, to carrying small coins stamped with the unit’s insignia. As trivial as some traditions may seem, understanding where a unit has been is key to knowing where they’re going.

For members of the 1st Fighter Wing at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, paying tribute to their past came in the form of a reunion with approximately 50 alumni spanning five decades of lineage.

During the visit, alumni of the U.S. Air Force’s oldest wing, got an up

close look at a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor aircraft and F-15 Eagle static display, received a mission brief and met with present 1 FW Airmen.

“It’s amazing to reconnect with folks that I had such a bond with,” said U.S. Air Force retired Maj. Gen. Rich Shook, 94th Fighter Squadron F-15 fighter pilot. “That bond and camaraderie we share is priceless so to see these guys at Langley makes it a great event.”

Shook was thoroughly impressed with the current Airmen of the 1 FW and how much they train to be ready at a moment’s notice. “These young Airmen just blow me away,” Shook said. “They are so smart and capable and I have no doubt they will do whatever our country needs them to

do.”

Current 1 FW Airmen briefed Alumni on the F-22 Raptor capabilities, a vastly different aircraft from the U.S. Air Force F-15s, F-4s or F-106s they used to fly. In addition to being briefed during the reunion, attendees were able to impart their own bit of knowledge to current Airmen of the 1 FW. “It’s awesome to see the heritage and the people who have passed the torch to us while we try to live up to their legacy,” said Capt. John Steele, 94th FS F-22 Raptor pilot. “Seeing and meeting them and hearing all of their stories face-to-face is one of the coolest things to me.”

Steele is already looking forward to returning for a reunion after he has re-

tired from the Air Force.

“As long as the heritage continues, visitation will continue, especially from our generation,” Steele said.

“Wherever [the reunion] is in the future, all of us current pilots will seek it out so we can all get together and see each other in the future no matter how busy we get with our lives.”

From current Airmen to members who have long since taken off the uniform, an unconditional respect exists amongst them as a part of the same family during their time in the 1 FW. “Keep passing along the motivation that you have,” Steele said. “It ignited the dream and the aspiration to carry on the legacy of flying fighters, having fun with the job and protecting this country in one of the coolest ways possible by participating in the one of the best missions anyone has to offer.”

The 1st Fighter Wing Association’s next reunion might have different faces in the crowd, but the same legacy and pride will live on through its members, past and present.

Steps to redemption: A Soldier’s ambition to cross the finish line

By A1C Monica Roybal

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

Racing through Washington D.C. on an unusually hot and humid autumn day, he spots mile-marker seven. Only three miles left to the finish line. He’s on his own amongst a horde of sweaty runners moving shoulder-to-shoulder, each trying to edge out the person next to them.

He’s stranded, shuffling under a blanket of body heat as they charge down the course. In an instant, he’s down.

Cold air and fluorescent lights greet him as he is jarred into consciousness.

Confused, yet overwhelmed with intense lethargy, he tries to answer the nurse’s questions. What’s your name?

Where are you from? Who can we call?

And as quickly as he awoke, he is knocked right back out again.

On Oct. 7, 2018, Wisconsin native U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Nick Krause, Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 210th Aviation Regiment, 128th Aviation Brigade CH-47 helicopter repairer instructor writer, participated in the annual Army Ten-Miler race with high hopes of knocking out yet another long-distance run as he had done many times before.

Krause had spent years honing his skills as an avid runner through numerous 5K, 10K and half marathon runs. But this race would prove to be life-altering.

“I had been training for the Army Ten-Miler, but I didn’t think too much of it because I had just done a half marathon six months prior,” Krause said. “I remember running around a corner and feeling a curtain of hot, humid air. I think that took more out of me than I was expecting.”

Krause said he performed his typical routine of stretching, walking and drinking copious amounts of water the

day before and woke up confident and ready to conquer yet another distance race.

“I saw mile-marker seven and then I woke up in a hospital bed labeled as a John Doe,” Krause explained. “According to my GPS watch, I stopped at about eight and a quarter miles so I’ve got more than a mile of just blackout. My body was still going in the race but I have no memory of it.”

The 30-year-old was hospitalized for more than four days recovering from the collapse while falling in and out of consciousness as hospital personnel worked to identify their nameless patient.

Krause explained that typically, he would run with at least one friend, but he had just been assigned to Fort Eustis and had yet to meet anyone who was interested in participating in the race with him. Hospital personnel were unable to locate the Common Access Card that was safety pinned on the inside of his clothes. So with no one to identify him and a lost ID, Krause remained labeled as John Doe for nearly 36 hours until he was able to recover enough to eventually remember his mother’s phone number.

“When I woke up long enough to talk, I thought it was 2015 and President Obama was in office,” Krause continued. “I couldn’t even tell you how to spell my first name. It was bad. This could’ve happened anywhere, but it

happened to me when there were medics all over the place. Had it happened anywhere else, we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation today.”

Ultimately, Krause was diagnosed with heatstroke and rhabdomyolysis.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heatstroke is the most serious form of heat injury and occurs when the body temperature reaches 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Rhabdomyolysis causes muscle tissue breakdown which releases proteins and electrolytes into the blood stream causing heart and kidney damage.

“My body was definitely on its way to shutting down,” Krause said. “My body temperature reached 106 degrees that day and my liver wasn’t fully functioning until the end of January. In the weeks following my hospital release I was doing routine check-ups, lab work and monitoring my liver. I had to establish a new normal for myself.”

Part of his new normal included joining the Joint Base Langley-Eustis Army Ten-Miler Team. Since the incident, Krause tries to always have a running partner and if he can’t find anyone, he always lets a loved one know when he is running, which route he is taking and what time he is expected to be back.

Krause now shares his story with fellow Soldiers to raise awareness about heatstroke risk factors and safety precautions that should be taken to prevent an incident like this from happening to

anyone else. He also has started wearing an emergency contact wrist band during every run and has inspired others to wear them as well.

“What’s scary is, he did everything right and what happened to him could’ve easily happened to anyone who was on that course,” said Capt.

Kevin Bennett, Foxtrot Company, 1st Battalion, 222nd Aviation Regiment, 128th Aviation Brigade company commander. “As soon as I saw his emergency bracelet, I bought one too and I wear it on every run just like he does.

This can be a lesson for everyone and I think it’s inspiring how he speaks to Soldiers about the importance of knowing conditions and knowing your body.”

This year Krause participated in the Army Ten-Miler race with his teammates, including Bennett. He spoke of an inexplicable urge to finish the Washington D.C. race and a need to finish what he started.

“I waited an entire year to finish this race,” Krause said. “Every step after the 8.25 mile-marker was a step toward redemption. I can now say that I completed the Army Ten-Miler and I have closed that part of my life.”

Exactly one year and one week since he fought his life-changing battle, Krause sprinted toward the Pentagon and crossed the finish line he had been chasing for more than a year. He had redeemed himself.

RVs, campers and boats are parked at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va. Sept. 29. JBLE has designated parking lots where RVs, campers, boats and vehicles can be left-out with causing a security concern.

Seasonal Storage: parking RVs and Boats for the winter

By A1C Sarah Dowe

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

Now that it is officially fall, many outdoor enthusiasts are beginning to look for a spot to park their recreational vehicle (RV), camper or boat until the next camping and boating season.

The 633rd Security Forces Squadron has additional safety concerns presented by abandoned vehicles on the installation.

“This brings up a security concern with abandoned vehicles,” said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Daniel Day, 633rd SFS police services noncommissioned officer in-charge. “If law enforcement personnel reasonably believe that the

vehicle presents a traffic or safety hazard to others and is abandoned, it will be subject to tow.”

Air Force law (JBLE 31-218 paragraph 5.1.2), prohibits the parking of inoperative vehicles, vehicles with expired or non-existent base or state registration or inspections and vehicles with major safety defects.

Any automobile, boat, RV, trailer, motorcycle or other conveyance not operating under its own power because of missing parts, external parts such as fenders, hood, grill, bumpers or flat tires, is considered abandoned, Day explained.

“Due to the limited parking on Langley, boat and RV storage has been established,” Day said. “Outdoor recreation has locations where

RVs and boats can be stored.”

Langley’s Outdoor Recreation has two locations where recreational vehicles can be stored, both on the north side of the flight line; The first lot is just west of the Golf Course driving range in a secluded area, and the second lot is beside the Education Center, near the main 497th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance building. People seeking to park vehicles on base for storage must contact Outdoor Rec. “A stored vehicle is defined only as a recreational vehicle, no cars or farm tractors for example, and must have appropriate legal paperwork,” said Andrew Smith, a Recreation Specialist at Langley’s Outdoor Rec. “There is a contract with a one-year minimum commitment but beyond that, the tenant can be released or stay with us as long as they choose.”

Smith explained that Outdoor Rec. strives give a better experience to

each person who stores with them than they would receive at any other location.

“Langley’s Outdoor Rec. prides itself in customer service and makes every attempt to deliver both a better experience, and better product, at a price below the common market,” Smith said. “Each person who stores with us is given a 24-hour phone number in case of emergencies related to their storage experience.”

If an individual’s vehicle is in need of repair they can coordinate with the Auto Hobby Shop on base. Members who are deploying are able to contact the 633rd SFS police services for the base long-term parking lot.

For more information about where to store an RV, boat or other vehicle, contact police services at (757) 7647766 or Outdoor Rec. at (757) 764-6510 or Outdoor Recreation at (757) 8645569 and on Facebook at Outdoor Recreation – Langley AFB.

ACC recognizes innovation, announces Spark Tank finalists

By Tech. Sgt. Nick Wilson

AIR COMBAT COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA. (AFNS)

Air Combat Command announced their two 2020 Spark Tank finalists moving on to compete in the finals in Washington, D.C. The finalists competed against four other teams of contestants from a multitude of career fields and experience levels. They will move on to the finals at AFWERX, where they’ll compete against winners from other major commands at the Air Force level. From there, the judge’s panel will choose six finalists from a pool of more than 20 semi-finalists--two from each MAJCOM, plus two AFWERX wildcards.

Airman 1st Class Brett Geisler, a 9th Maintenance Squadron electrical and environmental journeyman from Beale Air Force Base, California, pitched an idea to Spark Tank judges for a latchseal track case. In simple terms, the latch-seal track case is an assembly Geisler crafted with computer-aided drafting at home.

Geisler’s idea is projected prevent failures during operational inspections of aircraft canopies and save thousands of dollars and cut man-hours on the flightline by 26%.

“It feels great,” Geisler said. “It feels like I actually put my name out there and accomplished something. I was really hyped to see all of the other ideas because they were awesome.”

Geisler also described how enthusiastic his fellow Airmen will be when they see his idea come to fruition.

“They’re definitely going to be happy,” Geisler said. “My coworkers were excited about my idea before I even entered into this competition.

“They hated redundant maintenance actions just as much as I did,” he continued. “At the end of the day, it’s more promising to see that our parts are going to be in a secure location.”

The second finalist, Tech. Sgt. Daniel

Air Combat Command Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. Christopher P. Weggeman, holds a portable magnetic aircraft cover, during ACC’s 2020 Spark Tank competition at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., Oct. 16. The competition, which is part of an Air Forcewide innovation initiative, encourages Airmen of all ranks and careers to generate innovative ideas that save time, money and maintain readiness.

Caban, a 1st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron F-22 Raptor crew chief from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, articulated an idea to the judge’s panel for portable magnetic aircraft covers, or PMAC. Caban spawned his idea from intrinsic motivation to help pilots bring their aircraft covers with them in flight to use during arrival to deployments and temporary duty assignments. Due to the sheer size and bulkiness of the aircraft covers, Caban sought to increase the F-22’s mobility.

“It feels good to see my product move forward and come to life,” Caban said.

Not only does Caban’s idea increase F-22 readiness, but PMAC can be used on any fighter aircraft on the Air Force’s inventory. Caban’s idea is projected to cut individual costs of aircraft covers by more than 50%. It will also eliminate the unit cost of aircraft cover transport because fighter pilots will be able to bring PMAC with them in flight.

Caban’s leadership also showed how proud they were of the Spark Tank results.

“Caban is known to be an innovator,” said 1st Lt. Marlene Myers, 1st Fighter Wing aircraft maintenance officer. “He has a lot of great ideas and we’re just really excited for him to be able to showcase PMAC. I think he’s inspired younger Airmen to come forward with good ideas that they have.”

Air Force senior leaders and AFW-

ERX created the competition to spur innovative ideas for operational implementation worldwide. Spark Tank also identifies opportunities for Airmen at all levels to save time and money, maintain readiness, increase lethality and ensure cost-effective modernization across the service.

The annual Spark Tank competition empowers Airmen to constantly examine functions and missions, as outlined in the ACC Strategic Plan. In terms of forward-thinking, this ensures Airmen foster a culture of process-improvement within their units and work centers.

“We’re looking forward to make things better all the time,” said Chief Master Sgt. Jason P. Colón, 386th Air Expeditionary Wing command chief master sergeant, Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait. “Evaluate. Re-evaluate. Never maintain that status quo.”

By driving Airmen to examine capabilities and identify areas for improvement, Spark Tank competitions help the Air Force streamline processes to enhance lethality, readiness and air superiority.

“I think the risk is in not considering those ideas because nobody has a monopoly at any echelon on good ideas,” said Col. Brian J. Tyler, Commander of the 70th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. “To the extent we create experts within our fields, those

are the Airmen who are closest to the problem. Those are also the ones who are probably most in tune with providing solutions that are feasible.”

Gen. Mike Holmes, commander of ACC, thanked the semi-finalists for developing and submitting their ideas up the chain.

“We’re really proud of you for putting your brain power to work and for having the confidence to come forward and bring a suggestion to us,” Holmes said. “Supervisors and commanders were willing to listen to suggestions, help shape them and bring them forward.”

Overall, AFWERX judges and Air Force senior leaders make their selections based on which projects have the highest probability of delivering a game-changing impact to the Air Force within six months to two years. Some of the criteria Spark Tank judge’s panels are looking for include: potential for impact, solution feasibility, and the ability for contestants to articulate a path forward.

The six Air Force-level winners will then move on to the final round early next year at the Air Force Association Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida, where Airmen will not only present to Air Force senior leaders but also industry experts and famous investors from the CBS TV show “Shark Tank.”
