What is your job and how long have you worked with Yokota FSS? Assistant/Chief for the Airman & Family Services Flight. I have worked for 374 FSS for one year and five months. Since joining FSS, what has been your most rewarding experience? My most rewarding experience since joining FSS has been working for the Airman & Family Services Flight. Watching the children at the CDC’s, Youth Center and SAC brings our mission full circle for me. Protecting our families is our number one priority. It warms my heart to have a role in supporting the children and families of Yokota Air Base. What was your first or most interesting job experience? My most interesting job experience was working as a camp counselor for incoming freshman at my alma mater, Tennessee State University. It’s amazing the effect we have to influence others’ lives. Working with those young men and women made me realize the significance in mentorship. Even here at Yokota, people inspire me to always try to “pay it forward;” and respond to receiving kindness by being kind to others.

Moms
Military Just like any other working mom, it can be difficult balancing workload with at home duties. But as a parent in the military, many experience long duty hours, TDY’s and deployments where they may be away from their children for an extended period of time. This can weigh heavy on them, but they are proud to be able to serve and to be outstanding moms at the same time. We talked with a few resilient and hard working moms about their experience being in the military and being a parent, how they balance it all and the hardships they may face day-to-day. SSgt Ronelda Charles spoke candidly with us about being separated from daughter, Amaya, during a six month deployment, “As a single parent, entrusting someone else with the responsibility of taking care of your child the way you would is very hard to do. It’s also difficult for a young child to understand that you’re not leaving them forever.” SSgt Charles faced adversity being away from Amaya, but she found comfort and inspiration in other military moms while deployed, “While I was away, I missed out on precious first moments and seeing my daughter grow. However, I was blessed to share my [deployment] experience with other moms. We motivated each other every day. And being able to see and talk to my daughter over FaceTime really helped with missing her.” Transitioning after a deployment can be very challenging for both parents and children. SSgt Charles says the transitionary period for her and
Amiya was rough, but she was overwhelmed with joy to be able to see her daughter again and spend quality time, “When I came back, it was difficult for my daughter to adjust because she was scared I would leave again. The hardest part for me was to see just how much I missed while I was gone. When I left she was drinking bottles and when I returned she was eating food with a spoon. I had to learn her all over again. But just being home with her makes everything worth it.” Another military mom, Maj Dominique Haig spoke with us about the challenges parents in the military face, but also told us about the wonderful support she has here at Yokota, “The hardest part is both [my husband] and I are flyers, so we have long hours and it can be difficult to be able to spend quality time with our son like we would want to. However, we are fortunate to have great leadership and resources. We love the CDC, he is so well taken care of there.” SSgt Quinn Tillman, a Med Tech with Family Advocacy, expressed that while being a mom can be hard, there is nothing more rewarding than the unconditional love she receives from her son. “Seeing his face every day brings light to my life. I love to see how excited he is to see me when I pick him up from the CDC,” SSgt Tillman said. 374 FSS celebrates all of the military moms, working moms and stay-at-home moms! Thank you for everything that you do each and every day. We wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day!

YOUTH ALL STAR SPORTS FOOTBALL League Youth Programs (YP) has been selected by Boys & Girls Club of America (BGCA) to be the recipient of a $2,000 grant, sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings. The grant will go towards the implementation of YP ALL STAR Sports Programs including flag football. Starting 5 June, YP will kick off an eight-week summer football program designed to teach the fundamentals of catching, throwing, running and creating a healthy lifestyle. Open to ages 5 through 18, the grant-funded summer football program will offer Yokota’s youth an opportunity to learn from six trained coaches during weekly practices and games. A minimum of 100 participants are needed to fulfill the grant’s requirements and advance registration is highly recommended.
“Thanks to Buffalo Wild Wings and Boys & Girls Club of America, this grant will help keep our kids actively engaged in physically and mentally positive activities during the summer months. Most importantly, the kids will learn useful health tips they can use for the rest of their lives,” said William “Billy” Richardson, sports director. Additionally, BGCA will provide 100 flag football jerseys, 50 flag belts, scoreboards, Coaches Training Program access and unlimited technical assistance to ensure the summer program’s success. “This is the first time Youth Programs ever received a grant of this size and we are so excited to host this inaugural summer sports program for our youth,” said Richardson.
Mid-Night Summer Basketball League 5 Jun-12 Aug Sign-up: Now-19 May Teens ages 13 to 18 will build fundamental skills at this weekly late night summer league which provides an exciting and safe outlet for teens between the hours of 7-11 p.m. They will work on the basics of basketball including defensive and offensive skills, shooting, passing, footwork and more. This fun summer league will prepare them for a successful fall basketball season.

Begin the day at Manns Winery in Yamanashi Prefecture, a town draped with grape vineyards ripe and ready for harvesting. Here, you will tour and taste 20 Japanese red and white pristine wines. This historical tour also takes you to the burial place of Takeda Shingen, a great daimyo warrior who died on his journey to Kyoto in 1572 where he was destined to be a shogun, a great military commander. This temple is also noted for its exquisite Japanese garden created by Muso Kokushi, the high priest of the Samurai Age. Next, we will visit Shosenkyo Gorge, one of Japan’s most beautiful gorges. Shosenkyo is part of the ChichibuTama-Kai National Park, which covers more than 483 square miles of forested mountains, valleys and some rural towns in the prefectures of Yamanashi, Saitama, Nagano and Tokyo. A hiking road along the Arakawa River from the Nagatoro Bridge to a awe-inspiring waterfall offers beautiful scenery of the mountain river and the narrow valley. The upper section of the path is about an eighth of a mile in length and leads to the Shosenkyo Ropeway terminal with some of the most spectacular views of the gorge, including the 100 feet high Sengataki waterfall. This ropeway provides access to an observation point with breathtaking panoramic views of the Southern Japanese Alps and mystical Mount Fuji.

MOUNTAIN FLYING Mountain flying opens up new opportunities for general aviation pilots to visit unique and interesting destinations with a view of spectacular scenery. However, mountain flying, even more so than flight in the flatlands, is very unforgiving of poor training and planning. There is a narrow window of safety that an untrained pilot can easily stray out of without the experience and knowledge gained from a recognized training program and a mountain checkout by a qualified mountain flight instruction. You are encouraged to attend a recognized mountain flying course that includes adequate mountain ground and flight training. FAA-P-8740-60 AFS-803 (1999)

If you don’t have time to pick up your visiting guests from Narita Airport or Haneda Airport, we can help! Stop by the FSS Vehicle Operations office at least one day prior to your guest’s arrival and fill out a sponsorship certificate. This will allow your guests to purchase their tickets and ride the bus to the Visitor Center at Fussa Gate unaccompanied. The bus cannot wait at the Fussa Gate for guests to procure their base passes, so alternate transportation arrangements will need to be made for them after the bus arrives at the gate.
