MAINTAINING THE GROUNDS KEEPS JBLE MISSION READY News Release 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

If grass continuously grows from the flight line to the front gate with leaves covering sidewalks and parking lots, the Airmen at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia could struggle to support joint and combined operations worldwide.

Ground maintenance is one of many key essential functions that is needed to preserve the base.

Weekly contractors, like Roderick Wyche Sr., grounds maintainer, are responsible for maintaining over 2,400 acres of land across Langley Air Force Base to include the flightline, buildings and residential areas.

“I believe my job is very important,” said Wyche . “If we don’t properly maintain the grounds, we could negatively affect operations all throughout the base.”

Wyche stated that Langley AFB is surrounded by wet lands and during the summer months grass can grow rapidly, but in the fall, leaves pile up

around buildings and common areas.

“Overgrown grass on the curbs, weeds and leaves around buildings can not only impact how Airmen and civilians feel about their working environment, but it can eventually turn into safety hazards,” said Wyche .

Wyche always makes sure his equipment is operationally ready. Recently his contracting company replaced his backpack blower with a wireless control blower equipped with a 360 degree nozzle rotation. The new wireless technology allows him to clear areas 10 times faster than using a traditional backpack blower.

“The wireless control blower gets the job done,” said Wyche . “It’s more powerful and efficient.”

Everyday he’s assigned to follow behind three lawn mowers, four weed eaters and a tractor, but working with the wind can be a big challenge “The wind is probably my worst enemy.

When I’m blowing grass, leaves and debris between curbs, the wind would often blow in the opposite directions,”

he said. “So sometimes, I have to battle against mother nature in order to clear off curbs and sidewalks.”

When he first started working at Langley AFB, he didn’t feel his job was significant.

“I felt like an outsider who was just here to maintain the grounds. I didn’t think what I did at Langley meant that much to people,” said Wyche. “It wasn’t until I was blowing the sidewalks off at Memorial Park one day when an Airman came up to me, gave me a bottle of water and thanked me for keeping the park clean. It made me feel really proud.”

According to Wyche , since that encounter with that Airman, he now feels like his job as a grounds keeper is just as important as the Airmen and civilians who serve and support Langley AFB’s mission.

“It’s a great feeling to be a part of the Langley team,” said Wyche . “This is why I enjoy my job, because there’s a sense of unity and pride and I appreciate working here on Langley.”

SOLDIERS STRENGTHEN CAMARADERIE THROUGH SIEGESRADER COMPETITION

By Major Charles G. Fyffe 53RD TRANSPORTATION BATTALION (MC), 7TH TRANSPORTATION BRIGADE

The 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) hosted the second Siegesrader challenge at Joint Base LangleyEustis, Virginia Nov. 1 2016 through Nov. 4, 2016.

The 7th TB (X) competed in the challenge named in honor of the unit’s distinctive insignia “Victory Wheels” or “SIEGESRÄDER”, referring to the Battalion’s service in Germany, to promote functional fitness and competition within the Battalion.

The challenge was comprised of Army warrior tasks and battle drills scattered across the installation, which focused on evaluating and enhancing the unit’s cohesion and effectiveness.

The events included a map reading and land navigation course, voice communication test, treating and evaluating a casualty; chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazard assessment, a marksmanship and zero qualification, weapons assembly, functional fitness assessment called “Combat Murphy” and a unit-wide four-mile run in

36 minutes.

Six-man teams, from each of the battalion’s subordinate commands, competed in events over a three-day period, ending with an award ceremony on the fourth day. The events challenged the competitors both mentally and physically.

The Siegesrader Challenge took a culmination of weeks, planning and preparation from the unit’s staff and was designed to promote esprit de corps and teamwork throughout the command.

“These past two weeks have been quite challenging, yet rewarding for the Siegesrader family,” said Capt. Lavina Jackson, 53rd Transportation Battalion (MC) operations officer.

“The Battalion staff worked countless hours securing event locations and preparing each site for the competition.”

The winning unit, the 567th Inland Cargo Transfer Company, was recognized and awarded the Golden Tusk award and first place plaque by U.S.

“The event will be a quarterly competition and will have a different focus for each event.”

Environmental Element breaks ground on JBLE excavations

By Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Throughout the month of November, archeologists from the 733rd Civil Engineer Division Environmental Element and other contractors started excavations on three new sites at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.

Contractors sift through dirt samples during an excavation at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., Nov. 4, 2016. There are 234 archeological sites on JBLE, and these excavations will provide more information on the historical significance of three new sites.

U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland

A projectile point, estimated to be from the Archaic period, was found during an excavation at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., Nov. 4, 2016. Archeologists and their teams excavated three new sites on the installation to determine their historical significance and record their findings.

Archeologists and their teams began excavations after referencing the installation records and maps provided by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Dig tests were then performed by making one meter by one meter holes approximately 25 to 50 feet apart to look for artifacts and any clues that indicate the historic significance of the location.

“Surveys on these areas were done in the 1980s when the sites were found, so now we’re trying to determine if these sites have the potential to yield significant historical information and if they are eligible for

the National Register of Historic Places,” said Andrew Wilkins, Louis Berger archeologist. “Our job is to figure out if they are important. That’s a matter of doing some more shovel testing a little closer together so we can find out where there are concentrations of artifacts.”

Performing these excavations and recording their results help archeologists and installation leadership make future decisions on the proper methods for maintaining these areas.

“It’s important for the general public to know and for the Department of Defense to explain that we have

these significant places of American history and we take care of them,” said Christopher McDaid, 733rd Civil Engineer Division Environmental Element cultural resources manager and archeologist. “If we decide that this is a significant archeological site and someone, at one point, decides they want to use that area and perform construction, we have meetings to decide the best way to preserve the area in the safest manner.”

According to McDaid, the significant archeological and historical sites are taken into account during the planning process on the installation.

The archeologists found a few small projectile points and stone tools at these sites, which tell experts that they, most likely, date back to the Archaic period.

“Our studies tell about all people that lived in this area so the whole American experience can pretty much be experienced by looking at the archeological sites here at JBLE,” said McDaid. “We have sites on this installation where people lived 10,000 years ago.

We have sites where English colonists lived in 1618.

The real takeaway is that all of Joint Base LangleyEustis has significant pieces of American history on them.”

GEOBASE TEACHES STUDENTS ABOUT GIS

By Tech. Sgt. Darnell T. Cannady 480TH INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

UPCOMING

EVENTS

National Geographic Information System Day, is a day in the month of November when many specialists hold events to teach the importance of GIS to local communities such as those at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.

National Geographic GIS Day was created in 1999 by Ralph Nader as a good initiative to teach about geography and the use of GIS. Richard Olivieri, Air Combat Command Civil Engineering Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center Detachment 8 Support GeoBase Team Field lead, taught approximately 50 fourth grade students about GIS at Cape Henry Collegiate School in Virginia Beach, Virginia on Nov. 18, 2016.

“I wanted to emphasize the importance of geographic knowledge and how many basic learning concepts are now being applied by industry using information technology,” said Olivieri. “Kids need to learn geography to stay competitive in the high-tech economy.”

A Geographic Information System is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking and displaying data related to positions on Earth’s surface. It can show many different kinds of data on one map, enabling people to more easily see, analyze and understand patterns and relationships.

“It was important to have a GIS Day at Cape Henry Collegiate because it informed our students of the various careers related to IT in our ever changing world,” said Jane Saal, Cape Henry Collegiate School head of lower schools. “The presentation benefited the students by making them aware that studying geography and maps today may lead to a life-long career later.”

Olivier feels information technology has enabled basic subjects, such as Geography, to become the hightech careers of today.

“I was amazed at how many questions they had, and the insight of many of the questions asked,” said Olivieri. “It showed they were engaged, interested and were actually paying attention.”

Olivieri explained the importance of GIS by showing the students how geography ties into his job with the

“It was interesting to see how Langley uses the GIS support,” said Saal. “Mr. Olivieri spoke to the students on their level, and it was so fascinating to the adults, as well, to see how his mapmaking skills help Langley Air Force Base.”

Finishing an era: Final Swedish class graduates

By Airman 1st Class Derek Seifert 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Swedish air force maintainers officially became UH60 Blackhawk helicopter repairers on Nov. 23, 2016, after traveling to Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, to complete the Aircraft and Systems Repairer course tailored to their needs.

In order to attend, the Swedish maintainers were required to be officers or NCOs who had close to three years of aircraft general technical training. The course was modified to six weeks, giving the students the necessary training to work on Blackhawks.

One officer and seven NCOs were awarded graduation certificates as the final class to attend the course by their U.S. Air Force and Army instructors. “It was a great experience,� said U.S. Army Sgt. Joshua Searcy, 128th Aviation Brigade instructor. “These are some of the most technical, intelligent and disciplined people I have ever had the chance to work with.�

The language barrier caused very little issue between the class and instructors as the Swedish students came prepared to learn from the U.S. military. “I was pretty good at reading English, but now I can speak it relatively well since we spoke it all the time here,� said Swedish air force Staff Sgt. Jakob Fredriksson, 216th Maintenance Wing helicopter technician. “I got to see how other countries work. I not only got to talk to Americans, but Mexicans, Greeks and people from a lot of other countries.�

According to Searcy, the camaraderie between a country’s service members can be easily seen, but as other countries join together, that friendship takes time to build. “There was just a mutual respect, not just between Soldiers or military members, but between aircraft maintainers,� said Searcy. “It was very easy to intermesh with them and build that camaraderie that made an easy teaching environment.�

U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Derek Seifert

Swedish air force members graduated from the Aircraft and Systems Repairer course at Joint Base LangleyEustis, Va., Nov. 23, 2016. The course was specifically developed for Swedish officer and NCO UH-60 Blackhawk maintainers.

After this experience, Fredriksson looks forward to getting back to his unit and applying the knowledge he gained during the course. “I will put my new knowledge to work and participate in Sweden’s largest exercise in over 20 years and make sure the helicopters are operational,� said Fredriksson.

Holly Days Parade; Operation North Pole

By Senior Airman Kimberly Nagle 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

For several months, members of Joint Base Langley-Eustis have been building a 40-foot float to help commemorate 100 Years of Langley for the Hampton, Virginia 2016 Holly Days Parade, Operation North Pole.

According to the Hampton VA website, the parade will begin at 7:15 p.m. on Dec. 10 at the Carousel Park in Downtown Hampton, where the “North Pole” will be located. There will be carousel rides and photo opportunities with Santa Claus.

Members of JBLE volunteered to create the celebratory float, which must include a minimum of 2,500 lights, according to U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Tuan Bui, 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron float building participant.

“We were tasked to represent the 100 Years of Langley, through a float,” said Bui. “We decided to highlight the aircraft that have come through Langley in the last 100 years.”

During the construction of the float, volunteers spent evenings, weekends and free time to ensure the float would be exceptionally perfect.

“We even had base leadership out here to help us build it,” said Bui. “Everything on the float has been handmade by the different volunteers.”

Base leadership will also ride in a sleigh, which is incorporated into the float, as Col. Caroline Miller, 633rd Air Base Wing commander represents as the parade’s Grand Marshal.

“As the float passes, you will see five generations of Langley aircraft spanning from 1916 to present, including the Dirigible, the JN-4 Curtiss Jenny, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, the C-130 Hercules, the F-86 Saber, the F-15 Strike Eagle, the F-35 lightning II and pulling the sleigh the unparalleled F-22 Raptor,” said Master Sgt. Bryan Beers, 633rd Force Support Squadron float construction volunteer.

“This is a great opportunity for JBLE to showcase its capabilities, how involved we are with the community and how much we appreciate their support and I encourage everyone to come out and support 100 Years of Langley.”
