Energy Action Month: JBLE ‘Protects the Power’ By 2nd Lt. Savanah Sellars

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Designated by the Department of Energy, October is Energy Action Month, a time for federal government organizations and employees to emphasize the importance of energy in their daily lives. Energy Action Month is one piece of the U.S. Air Force’s three-year “Protect the Power” campaign, and at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron is taking action to save energy on base. In compliance with federal energy guidelines, the Air Force set a goal to decrease overall facility energy by 2.5 percent annually over the coming decade and to increase the use of renewable energy to at least 10 percent, said Dan Porter, 633rd CES base energy manager. However, for a growing base, in mission and personnel, such as Langley, JBLE’s energy goal is to reduce total energy consumption while simultaneously building new facilities to accommodate organizational growth. To achieve that goal, the 633rd CES is installing advanced meter

reading devices on buildings, which will provide a real-time picture of electricity usage on base. Additionally, across base, they are upgrading to high-energy transformers and lightemitting diode (LED) lighting, as well as employing renewable energy sources, to improve overall energy savings. Looking to the future, the 633rd CES is working with the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering Center to create an Energy Saving Performance Contract that will research how JBLE and NASA Langley Research Center can save energy and improve infrastructure resiliency. In addition 633rd CESs efforts, below are actions that individuals can take to conserve energy and support the Air Force’s “Protect the Power” initiative: - Keep windows and doors closed - Unplug items not in use - Turn off lights and monitors when not in use and at the end of the day - Turn off water when brushing your teeth - Carpool - Reduce idling in vehicles. Thirty minutes of idling burns through one gallon of gas.

JBLE cloud email migration in near future By Master Sgt. Micah Yount

633RD COMMUNICATION SQUADRON

Email users at Joint Base LangleyEustis will soon migrate to the internet cloud under a directive by the U.S. Air Force Space Command. As a result, the dreaded “your mailbox is full” message will soon to be a thing of the past. Over a three-day period in November, 633rd Communications Squadron technicians will migrate Langley Air Force Base users from the Air Force Network to the secure commercial

cloud. Email is the first of the Microsoft Office 365 services that the U.S. Air Force is migrating to the cloud. An initial test began last year and the Air Force recently completed migrating the first 10 Air Force bases. This experience is feeding the planning process for other cloud collaboration tools such as SharePoint, One Drive, and Skype for Business, which replaces Lync. One key benefit of moving email service to the cloud is an increase of individual storage capacity. More

than 16,000 users, who previously had 100 megabytes mailboxes, will now have a 100-gigabyte-capacity, plus an additional 100 gigabytes of archive storage in the cloud. As a result, they will now be able to hold two million normal emails in their mailbox and another two million in their archive. For the typical user, that’s an increase of 2,000 times the current capacity— that’s like going from a ﬁling cabinet to an entire warehouse. » See CLOUD EMAIL | 4

633rd MDG takes home ﬂag football win By Airman 1st Class Alexandra Singer 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 633rd Medical Group and 30th Intelligence Squadron faced off for the 2017 Intramural Flag Football Championship Game at Langley Air Force Base, Oct. 20, 2017. The season lasted roughly ﬁve weeks with the 633rd MDG taking the win over the 30th IS, with a score of 19-10. A total of 15 teams competed against each other during the tournament. Each

team played twice a week, with the top eight teams making it to the playoffs. The season consisted of 10 games, with an additional two games needing to be won in order for teams to advance to the championship. “It was a great season, both teams had really good players that played well together and should be proud of their accomplishment this year,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Linh Hoang, 633rd Force Support Squadron sports program director.

‘Night at the Transportation Museum’ spooks, excites community members By Senior Airman Kaylee Dubois

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Pirates, superheroes and princesses swarmed the U.S. Army Transportation Museum on Fort Eustis during its 8th annual Night at the Transportation Museum event, Oct. 23, 2017. Weaving through the eerie halls of the museum, children 12 and under, along with their parents, collected Halloween treats while venturing through Army transportation history. “The museum exhibits come to life and the community, both inside and outside the gate, love it,” said Claire Samuelson, Transportation Museum director. “It’s a community favorite and people have been coming every year since we started this.” Community members were transported back in time by more than 10 different transportation-themed galleries, to periods ranging from World War I to present day, all brought to life by actors. Throughout the adventure, volunteers in historical military uniforms could be seen passing out candy, reenacting events

or assisting in arts and crafts. “Volunteers and our nonproﬁt foundation really keep this going,” said Samuelson. “The two entities donate decorations and candy, but mostly their time.” The family of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Bruce Masteller, Charlie Company, 210th Aviation Regiment, 128th Avn. Brigade aircraft powertrain instructor writer, said they enjoyed the spooky, yet educational, trick-or-treating event, which was validated by their animated expressions. “Each year the event gets better and better,” said Masteller. “My kids thoroughly enjoy the tour and the candy deﬁnitely kept their interest.” As the museum fell silent and the ghostly characters became still, the pirates, superheroes and princesses left the museum not just with bags of candy, but a newfound knowledge of Army history. For more information about the Night at the Transportation Museum event, contact the museum at 878-1548 or 8781115.

Story and Photos by Airman 1st Class Tristan Biese 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS Sitting on the edge of her stool, staring out at a sea of faces staring back, she tunes her guitar. Once the guitar is just right she takes a sip of her dink, grabs her pick, takes a deep breath and begins playing. U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Hannah Walker, 633rd Force Support Squadron food service journeyman, is performing live at the Langley Air Force Base Marina. She occasionally does this to help destress and recenter herself. “When you’re in the military and you don’t have a hobby or something to do outside of work, it can make you go insane,” said Walker. “I wear this uniform every day and I am an Airman whether I’m in uniform or not in uniform, but there is a time to take the uniform off and put it away and be who you’re called to be, whether that’s to be a husband, a wife or a musician. Those are the things that are going to keep you grounded.” Walker has been singing for as long as she can remember and music has always been a part of her life. However, Walker didn’t realize how much she needed music until tragedy struck at home. Only a month after her high school graduation, doctors found a tumor in her father ’s brain and needed to perform surgery. To help cope with the storm of emotions she was feeling, Walker started writing and produced 14 songs, jump starting her musical path. “When I’m stressed, I write it down,” said Walker. “You can get all your anger, all your frustrations out on paper and it stops there. Nine times out of ten, when I’m done writing it all down, I don’t feel stressed anymore.”

Walker continued writing music and later enlisted into the U.S. Air Force and is now stationed at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, which is where she performed live for the first time. Walker ’s first live performance did not go very well, but that didn’t stop her. She continued to perform at open mics every night during the week, slowly improving her confidence and skill. “Once I got over caring what people thought and when I told myself that the people watching me are here to support me, I got over my stage fright,” said Walker. “It’s crazy because three years ago I would sing in a room with ten people and I would be super nervous, but now I’ve sang in front of hundreds of people and it feels amazing.” A little more than a year after Walker ’s first performance she had to put performing on the back burner due to her daughter being born. Even though she wasn’t able to perform as much anymore, Walker filled that time by writing more music and spending time with her biggest motivation. “One of my biggest inspirations is my daughter and I want her to know that no matter what your dream is, or no matter what you want to do with your life, you can do anything,” said Walker. “Even if your dreams sound crazy and other people tell you that it’s not realistic, if you want something and you put your mind to it, you can do anything.” Using her dream of being a singer, Walker continues to perform and use her music as an outlet for the stressors in her life.

JBLE Airmen take lead in regional competition By Airman 1st Class Tristan Biese

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Two Airmen from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, took first place in the Alpha Warrior Northeast Regional Competition, which was hosted at the Community Commons, Oct., 21, 2017. U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Trevor Puerile, 633rd Security Forces Squadron installation entry controller, and 2nd Lt. Nicole Mitchell, 83rd Network Operations Squadron directory services officer in charge, competed against 30 U.S. Air Force Airmen from other bases in the region. The Airmen competed on the Battle Rig, a metal structure that consists of obstacles, which tested their upper body, core and grip strength. “I think this was a great opportunity to get out and have fun, but also compete,” said Mitchell. “This course pushes you to challenge your physical fitness in a

way you wouldn’t think is possible.” Puerile and Mitchell will move on to compete in the finals in San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 11, 2017, where they will contend 48 Airmen from 14 other regions in the hopes of becoming the U.S. Air Force Alpha Warrior. “I’m just excited, I don’t think there is a better way of saying how I feel,” exclaimed Puerile. “I’m ready to go to San Antonio.” All 50 candidates will be flown down to San Antonio to compete for the top male and female spots on a course that is larger and more difficult than the regional course. “It’s awesome to have both of the regional champions be from Joint Base Langley-Eustis to represent us down in San Antonio,” said U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Anthony Garcia, 633rd Force Support Squadron fitness and sports section chief. “There will be some good competition, but I’m sure they’ll do great.”

F-22s complete ﬂying training deployment By Airman 1st Class Eli Chevalier 48TH FIGHTER WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England — F-22 Raptors from the 1st Fighter Wing, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, completed a ﬂying training deployment here from Oct. 8-19. While in the European theater, the F-22s forward deployed from the U.K. to Poland and Germany to maximize training opportunities, demonstrating steadfast commitment to NATO allies and deterring any actions that destabilize regional security.

The Raptors also participated in Exercise Eastern Zephyr, a Royal Air Force-led exercise seeking to increase partnerships and capabilities between the U.S. and U.K. “For a century now, the 94th Fighter Squadron has had a close relationship with our Royal Air Force friends and partners beginning with ‘The Hat-inthe-Ring Gang’s’ first deployment to the United Kingdom in 1917 prior to operations on the Western Front during World War I,” said Lt. Col. “Habu,” 94th Fighter Squadron commander. While here, the F-22s flew 18 sorties for a total of 26.2 flying hours.

New uniform provides lighter weight without breaking sweat By C. Todd Lopez

ARMY NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — The current Army Combat Uniform top weighs in at about 650 grams, or about 1.4 pounds. It’s got a lot of pockets and multiple layers of fabric. When it gets wet, it tends to stay wet. And when it’s hot out, it tends to keep Soldiers hot. The Army has a solution for that: the Improved Hot Weather Army Combat Uniform that has a whole lot fewer pockets, layers of fabric and Velcro, as well as a new fabric that is actually lighter than the current ACU. “You can hold that uniform up with one ﬁnger,” said Brig. Gen. Brian P. Cummings,

it’s not

who serves as Program Executive Ofﬁcer Soldier, out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The organization is responsible for managing those Army programs that provide most of the things Soldiers carry or wear. That includes, among other things, individual and crew-served weapons, protective gear, weapons sights and sensors, and uniform items. Cummings said the current Army uniform has a lot of good feedback from Soldiers. But, he said, those uniforms have “all this stuff on it.” He was talking about shoulder pockets, and pen pockets and leg pockets and Velcro swatches to hold ﬂags and unit patches. Each one

Army units test proposed Physical Fitness Test replacement By GUIDON staff

FORT LEONARD WOOD

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — The U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training is here at Fort Leonard Wood this week in order to field test the Army Combat Readiness Test with Soldiers from the 1st Engineer, 3rd Chemical and 14th Military Police brigades. According to CIMT officials, testing the program at the installation will help the Army determine the correct level of testing standards while allowing them to collect data on Soldier performance as the Army searches for the correct program to replace its aging Army Physical Fitness Test, which has been in place for nearly 40 years. A CIMT study shows that the current APFT is only 39 percent predictive of a Soldier’s ability to do his or her job, while the proposed ACRT is about 81 percent predictive. “If we have prepared individuals to fight the fight, then we are a better, more optimized organization ready to defend this nation against all enemies,” said USACIMT Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Gragg on the ACRT Oct. 11 at the recent Association of the United States Army annual meeting and exposition in Washington. The proposed ACRT is part of a wider holistic health and fitness effort to optimize Soldiers and increase Army combat readiness. CIMT officials said the current APFT does well assessing a Soldier’s endurance, but does not reliably predict a Soldier’s ability to go into combat. While endurance is relevant, the APFT in no way helps Soldiers focus on preparing to do their jobs. “If the Army creates a program to train for these

events then absolutely (it will better prepare Soldiers for combat),” said 1st Sgt. Alan Forester II, Company D, 31st Engineer Battalion first sergeant. “The training would be better-rounded and address other aspects of fitness, such as power. I do feel the test will be a great tool for commanders to assess individual and unit readiness for combat operation, at least on a physical capabilities aspect.” Fort Leonard Wood is one among five Army installations participating in the field studies, with the 1st Engineer Brigade eagerly participating the first day. “If a Soldier is capable of providing feedback to any implementation to the force, it is their obligation to do so,” Forester said. “It is a privilege to assist in the development of systems and tests that may affect the future of the Army.” The ACRT is comprised of six test events: T pushup: A modification of the traditional pushup, where Soldiers lower themselves to the ground extending the arms into a “T” position before returning to the starting pushup position. This is repeated for the duration of two minutes. 250-meter sprint/drag/carry: A Soldier begins in the down, or prone position, stands up and sprints 25 meters and back, followed by walking backwards while pulling a weighted sled to the line and back. Once back at the starting line, they grasp two 30-pound kettles, returning to the far line and back. After returning, this exercise requires them to sprint the 25 meters to the far line and back. This is a timed event. Leg tuck: Soldiers must grasp the bar with an alternating

NEW UNIFORM |

Improved Hot Weather Army Combat Uniform that has a whole lot fewer pockets, layers of fabric and Velcro, as well as a new fabric that is actually lighter CONTINUED FROM 11 of those pockets requires multiple layers of fabric and fastening material, and buttons. “And they all hold water,” Cummings said. “And they cost money.” A new uniform on display at PEO Soldier changes all that. While only the top was available for viewing, it has a lot fewer pockets on it, and less extraneous fabric. And the fabric it’s made from is lighter than the fabric the current ACU is made from. The Army wants to bring that uniform ﬁrst to Soldiers in jungle environments, the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii, in particular, where it’s both hot and wet. But Cummings said the Army also hopes to bring the uniform to all Soldiers — to make it available for purchase in military clothing stores.

Cummings said he hopes to have a light-weight uniform available within a year, saying that because it is based on an existing uniform that has already been extensively tested, getting this light-weight uniform to the field will take less time. “We’ve tested the heck out of these,” Cummings said. One issue with the light-weight uniform’s new fabric is that it might prove itself more susceptible to wrinkling after washing. That could be fixed, Cummings said, with the application of an anti-wrinkle treatment. But that would only happen if it didn’t interfere with the uniform’s ability to wick away water. Also for consideration, he said, is flame-resistant capability. ...AND A LIGHTER BOOT, TO BOOT Already the Army is looking at a new jungle boot, something requested by senior Army leadership. Thirty

neutral grip in the dead hang position before flexing with elbows, hips and waist to bring knees up, touching both elbows, before returning to the dead hang position and repeat as many times as possible. Standing power throw: Soldiers must face backwards holding a 10-pound medicine ball, lower it to touch the ground, rises up and throw the ball backwards over their head as far as possible. Soldiers are allowed a practice throw and two record attempts. 3-repetition deadlift: Soldier steps inside a trap bar, feet shoulder width apart and bends at the knees and hips while reaching down to grasp the handles with arms fully extended; stands up and lifts the bar by extending hips and knees until becoming fully upright, pauses, returns bar to the floor while maintaining flat back and without leaning forward. This is repeated two more times for a total of three repetitions. 2-mile run: Soldier runs a 2-mile running course that is solid with no more than a three percent uphill grade and no overall decline. “I think it’s a really good program,” said Spc. Priscilla Gibson, 169th Engineer Battalion, Human Resource specialist. “If you train for it, it will definitely get you more physically fit than the current PT test. It challenges you more; instead of three events there are six.” Forester agrees. “The test was great from a fitness aspect, it provides well-rounded feedback on multiple dimensions of fitness,” he said. Although the grading for the ACRT has yet to be determined, officials said there will be a minimum baseline standard without “go” or “no go” events. (Editor’s note: The ACRT pilot testing currently taking place in no way suggests the official outcome of the proposed test. The ACRT is intended to replace the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) pending senior leader approval.) thousand pairs were provided to Soldiers in the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii last month for evaluation. Initial feedback on those jungle boots has been positive, Cummings said, but he did say Soldiers are asking for something that is more comfortable even if it means the boots are less durable. “It’s over-designed,” Cummings said. Cummings said Soldiers want the new jungle boot to be lighter and softer. And they have asked also that the soles of those jungle boots be thinner than what they are now. Cumming said that’s going to happen. The next iteration of samples, he said, are “a lot more pliable. And able to serve the Soldier well. But instead of lasting five years, they last two years.” Those newer boots, he said, will also go through evaluation with Soldiers, and will have the same capabilities as the jungle boot Soldiers are currently testing. Among other things, those abilities include puncture resistance, more drainage holes, the ability to wick away water, the ability to push water and mud off the soles, speed laces, and lower profile heels so as not to catch on vines on the jungle floor.

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.

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.
