Make a plan, build a kit, stay informed

By Joseph Gangemi

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

National Preparedness Month is an annual, month-long series of activities to drive awareness about hazards specific to local communities.

“Make a plan, build a kit, and stay informed, is the preparedness triad benchmark that we want our JBLE populace to achieve,” said James Ferguson, JBLE Emergency Management specialist. “Creating a plan that prepares your family for any type of disaster is easier than it sounds. A good first step is to create a family communication plan.”

While conducting research on disasters, FEMA has found that during a disaster it is often easier to contact someone on your phone who is outside the disaster area. Choose an out of state relative or trusted friend to act as a third party for your family’s accountability. Explain to your family that should they may not be able to contact you during a disaster, they should call the out of state contact. Remember to ensure each member of your family has your third party’s contact information loaded in their phone.

Ferguson continued to say that families, schools, organizations and individuals are encouraged to come together to practice simple actions to stay safe before, during and after emergencies.

“By accomplishing these preparedness goals, we build a more disasterresilient joint-base community,” said Ferguson.

Make a plan, build a kit, and stay informed: Joint Base Langley-Eustis Emergency Management wants everyone to keep this phrase in mind during National Preparedness Month. The base holds a series of activities during this time every year to create awareness about hazards specific to local communities.

The next step is building your family’s disaster supply kit. The objective of the kit is to sustain your family for a period of three days without electrical power.

A basic disaster supply kit could include the following recommended items: Water-one gallon of water per person for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation Prescription medication Pet food and extra water for your pet’ Infant formula and diapers First aid kit Extra batteries Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery Whistle to signal for help

Stay Informed by signing up for local emergency alerts through your county or state and get warnings sent to your phone.

Emergency management personnel will make public outreach efforts across JBLE in the coming weeks, including information booths at both Exchanges during the week of September 10-14. Additionally there will be two different opportunities for a free viewing of Deepwater Horizon at 1:30 p.m., Sept. 19, 2018, at the Fort Eustis Theater and at 1:30 p.m., Sept. 28, 2018, at the Langley Air Force Base Theater.

For more information about National Preparedness Month, please visit https:// www.ready.gov/ or www.beready.af.mil.

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

Her last goodbye Brianna’s life

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

“The worst part of it all was just thinking about what she was thinking in those final moments as she was standing in the bathroom all alone, and I can’t imagine just how lonely she must’ve felt.”

According to the Defense Suicide Prevention Office, suicide in the military has risen across the Department of Defense since 2017. Senior Airman Brianna Bowen knows first-hand about the impact suicide can have on victims and their loved ones.

Although the computer based trainings and annual military suicide prevention classes help members understand warning signs for someone thinking of committing suicide, the 1st Operations Support Squadron air traffic controller believes a more personal stance is needed in order to really understand the topic.

March 16, 2009: The day that changed

When Brianna was just 13, her older sister Chelsea Bowen, took her own life.

Brianna sat on a nearly empty school bus, awaiting the final stop on the route. As they approached the dirt road that leads to her house, she said it was obvious something was wrong.

“We were passing about five police cars and an ambulance that didn’t have its lights on,” Brianna said.

Brianna was picked up from the bus stop by a police officer, and when she saw her father sitting outside of their house, back against the door, hugging his knees, she knew that it was big.

“Chelsea’s gone.” Mr. Bowen said.

In her final moments Chelsea sent one last text “Goodbye, I will love you forever.”

Although Chelsea’s final text was only sent to her boyfriend, Brianna believes it was a blanket text for all those she loved. » See AWARENESS | 11 Courtesy photo

Chelsea Rae Bowen, 15, took her own life back on March 16, 2009. Although a tragedy, her younger sister Senior Airman Brianna Bowen has taken every opportunity to raise awareness about suicide.

In a memo written June 21, 2018 to all Department of Defense employees, Mattis urged all to remain vigilant when safeguarding sensitive information. Air Force Instructions, DoD Manuals, online training modules and many other sources help guide personnel to be the best both safely and legally.

Practicing security at the source: getting back to basics

By Nicholas J. De La Pena

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

“As we strive to protect our information from falling into the wrong hands, there can be no complacency,” said Jim N. Mattis, secretary of defense.

In a memo written June 21, 2018 to all Department of Defense employees, Mattis urged all to remain vigilant when safeguarding sensitive information.

Air Force Instructions, DoD Manuals, online training modules and many other sources help guide personnel to be the best both safely and legally.

“You keep your fellow airmen safe by safeguarding and properly adhering to operational security standards and safeguarding classified material.” said Edward Connolly, 633rd Air Base Wing information protection chief.

According to Connolly, critical information may not be secret on its own, but when compiled together by enemy agents it can pose a greater security threat. Trained adversaries can

use these small pieces and link them together, like a puzzle, to highlight what we are planning and doing. The key is stay up-to-date with your security training so you can easily identify any potential risks.

“Look at everything and ask yourself if you need this and should you take this information home?” said Connolly.

“If you’re willing to accept small risks in your day-to-day tasks you’re only training yourself to accept the larger risks down the road.”

In an effort to prevent these risks, DoD personnel all undergo operational security training annually. Connolly warned service members, however, not to become desensitized within their work environments which may lead to security violations under the DoD Information Security Program manual, number 5200.01.

“Personnel must confirm sensitive material is properly marked and stored according to DoD standards outlined in various training materials including the annual cyber awareness online training » See SECURITY | 11

As the radar-evading, fifth generation fighter supercruises through the sky, the pilot secures the enemy in his sights; he presses the button and the munitions bay opens, followed by the deafening sound of silence.

“Without ‘ammo’ the Air Force would just be an expensive flying club,” said U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Michael Brown, 1st Maintenance Squadron munitions storage crew chief. “I’m not saying we are the sole part of getting the F-22 in the air and taking out bad guys, but I’d say we play a crucial part.”

In tech school, the Airmen get an overview of what ammo does as a whole. In eight weeks they scratch at the surface of what the career field carries out for the mission.

There are many shops in ‘ammo’, but all work toward one goal.

“The F-22 is lethal because of the munitions flight,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Burton Field, 1st Maintenance Squadron commander. “The ‘ammo’ Airmen are trained, motivated, and proud.

They make the mission possible.”

According to Brown, ‘ammo’ Airmen are slowly molded and developed by leadership to meet what the Air Force needs through the crawl, walk and run

phases much like a parent would.

“They know one day they’re not going to be here; they’re going to retire and need to pass on what they know,” Brown said. “So then you have to have the knowledge to give somebody else.”

From precision guided missiles for the F-22 Raptor to the bullets for security forces defenders, anything that goes bang, boom, is managed by the munitions flight.

“The most important skill one must have here is attention to detail because a mistake could either kill you or not kill the bad guy,” Brown said. “If I don’t do my job correctly someone else can’t do their job correctly down the road.”

As an Airman in ‘ammo’ you are moved from shop to shop during your career. Through on the job training, Airmen learn all aspects of the job, sometimes working in one shop at home station and deploying with a different shop.

“We’re like a small town,” Brown said. “You start with a core group of friends, but all in all, everybody is always helping somebody and you pretty much get to know everyone.”

Even though ‘ammo’ is part of the 1st Fighter Wing’s, 1st Maintenance Squadron, they are located in what many at Joint Base Langley-Eustis » See AMMO | 11

511th EDD Soldiers ‘dive’ into supervisor training

By Senior Airman Tristan Biese 633 AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

U.S. Army Soldiers from the 511th Engineer Dive Detachment participated in dive supervisor qualification training at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Aug. 2024, 2018.

The training qualifies 511th EDD Soldiers to become unlimited dive supervisors, allowing them to oversee dive team missions on their own.

“We have to go through a series of drills and scenarios to ensure we understand how to react during diving emergencies,” said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Christopher Miller, 511th EDD diving supervisor. “[This training] allows us to supervise without having someone backing us up. [Leadership] is confident that you are responsible and that you know what you are doing when you take a group out and complete a mission.”

The duties of the dive team range from underwater engineering, underwater recovery, security swims, as well as port inspections and openings.

“When most people think of diving, they know it’s a very dangerous job,” said Sgt. John Egizii, 511th EDD salvage diver. “[The dive supervisor] needs to be able to trust us and we need to be able to trust that they will be able to take care of the problem and handle any situation.”

During the training, Miller acted as an unlimited dive

supervisor, where he had to make split-second decisions that best support his team and the mission.

According to Miller, everyone on the team has an equally important role – each plays a part in completing the mission, and their lives depend on one another.

The supervisor is responsible for listening and making decisions based on the information from the console operator, the communications operator and the tenders.

The console operator in is charge of how much oxygen divers are getting as well as their depth. The communication operator relays information between the diver and the team, as well as logging the mission. The tenders check and assist with divers’ gear, and also help them get into and out of the water. A diver also remains on standby, only jumping in the water when needed.

One of the training scenarios entailed a dive team member’s leg being trapped between metal, and the standby diver started experiencing numbness in the face. Miller had to decide who to bring up first, and how to properly treat each team member.

Although geared toward supervisors, Miller said the training helped hone the entire team’s skills, allowing them to react like they would in a real-world mission.

“This [training] is what makes our team effective and efficient,” Miller said. “We learn to trust each other and build comradery between the team. Everyone here is relying on each other to complete the mission.”

There are four dive teams at JBLE who rotate duties throughout the year: on deployment; deployment recovery; home-station operational duties; and deployment preparation – all the while each team continues to train and sharpen their skills, waiting for the call to action.

Defenders compete to represent ACC

By Airman 1st Class Anthony Nin Leclerec

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

Nine U.S. Air Force Security Forces Airmen competed during Air Combat Command’s Defender Challenge team selection here, August 20-24, 2018.

Of the nine Airmen, six were selected to represent ACC at the 2018 Air Force Defender Challenge. After a 14-year hiatus, Security Forces teams from Air Force major commands, Great Britain and Germany will compete at Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis, Texas, Sept. 10-13.

“This brings back camaraderie and competition,” said U.S. Air Force Tech.

Sgt. Alexis Rice, Air Combat Command

001WLA08312018.indd A8-A9

Directorate of Logistics Engineering and Force Protection NCO in charge of mission assurance. “You put your best against my best and let’s see who’s going to win.”

With guidance from ACC, Airmen underwent local assessments at their home bases before the victors at that platform advanced with the opportunity to try out for the ACC team.

“The most challenging part for me was meeting everybody and not knowing their tactics, where they come from, how they train, what they know and what they don’t know,” said Senior Airman Jeffrey Lewis, 822nd Base Defense Squadron re team leader. “Learning from them and seeing what they had to offer worked out really well, we all clicked and had a re-

ally good time.”

Rice placed the candidates in realistic weapons scenarios, simulated dismounted operations and grueling combat endurance events during the week-long event.

“Selecting the team was very dif cult, the candidates made it very hard,” Rice said. “If I could add one more, there would be one more. That’s how close it was to making the cut and not making the team.”

During the tryout, Rice heavily weighed the Airmen’s ability to think outside the box and be a team leader, but when necessary be a good follower. One member might have skills that the other may not have, giving each candidate moments to lead and follow, according to

skillsets.

“These guys are in shape, I put them through the wringer and I know they can shoot and think outside the box,” Rice said. “I think they’ve got a very good chance of bringing that hardware back to ACC.” Great Britain has held the trophy since winning the last competition in 2004.

After competing in realistic weapons scenarios, simulated dismounted operations and combat endurance events, the team with the most combined points will win the Sadler Cup, which is named after Maj. Gen. Thomas Sadler, who served as Air Force Chief of Security Police from 1975-1977.

| suicide in the military is on the rise

CONTINUED FROM 4

An irrevocable decision

As soon as 15-year old Chelsea and her twin sister, Miranda, got home from high school, Brianna believes Chelsea had already decided what she was going to do.

“It was a Monday, right before finals week, so I guess she planned it out that way on purpose,” Bowen said.

According to her father, Chelsea’s last verbal words to anyone in the family were “Don’t touch my backpack,” after he jokingly said he was going to take it. The Bowens’ father went outside to check on their chickens, while Miranda sat down on the couch to watch TV. One decision can have an everlasting impact, and in that moment Chelsea’s decision would change the Bowen family’s life forever.

“Every single detail of that day sticks with me,” Brianna said. “The bloody footprints throughout the house when Miranda was running to get help, to seeing her body bag being pushed out the door into the driveway.”

Making a change

Although a tragedy, Brianna refuses to see her sis-

White also warned against complacency, stating it can be a major threat to service members and our Department of Defense workforces supporting efforts down range or stateside who are charged with upholding proper security techniques and procedures.

The Joint Base Langley-Eustis information protection office said personnel can remain proactive in understanding their security responsibilities by reviewing the following list to thwart off internal and external threats:

ter’s suicide as just that. She has taken every opportunity to raise awareness about suicide, including starting a scholarship foundation in her sister’s name in her hometown of Gilmanton, New Hampshire.

“It is going to take strong Airmen, like Senior Airman Bowen, to stand up and tell their stories to reach people,” said Master Sgt. Thomas Miller, 1st OSS assistant chief controller. “Senior Airman Bowen’s sister chose to take her own life and that crushed (Brianna). However instead of that being the last story written about her sister, Senior Airman Bowen chose to let her sister’s name live on by providing awareness.”

Brianna hopes for military members to come forward with their own stories to tell and help prevent more suicides from happening with hopes that one day military members can seek more mental health help at off-base providers.

Senior Airman Brianna Bowen believes the according to Brianna. It’s one thing to stare at a screen text was a blanket text for all those she loved. or listen to a scripted lesson, it’s a whole different experience to listen to a real person with a real story.

Brianna said. “It’s a battle that every single one of us “Everyone is just skimming the surface because no- fights every single day; it’s something we need to feel body wants to get into how uncomfortable it can be,” okay talking to each other about.”

know as Ammo Country. But even if they can’t see them, their brothers on the flightline know they can always count on ‘fammoly’.

According to Brown, it’s a culture of looking out for and depending on one another.

Being out there by themselves, they learn to

lean on one another not just for work but also the day to day.

“We’re always together, doing something, out at someone’s house barbecuing or helping with someone’s car,” Brown said. “We call it a ‘fammoly’, it sounds kind of cliché but we’re a tight-knit group.”
