JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. -- Volunteers with the Mayor’s Book Club of Hampton, Virginia read to children at the Langley Air Force Base main Child Development Center, Feb. 23, 2016. U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jennifer Kernan, an aerospace operational physiology technician with the 633rd Aerospace Medical Squadron, is one of 60 volunteers with the program that encourages an environment that values literacy, improves social and emotional development of the children and promotes healthy reading habits. “[This program] teaches our young generation how important reading is,” said Kernan, who also coordinates readers to volunteer through the Langley 56 private organization. “Not only that, but the program allows us, as military personnel, to interact with the children, and teach them what the military is about.” Kernan read, “How to Surprise a Dad,” a book that was donated to all of the children to inspire them to start their own libraries. Kernan said the book club is only possible through donations from local donors and volunteers. “Improving childhood literacy is essential for our community’s future,” said Catherine Barber, Langley CDC chief director. “Our youth deserve every opportunity to

enhance their reading capabilities and the Mayor’s Book Club understands that. Each reading session allows the children to become more excited about learning, which broadens their minds to enjoyment of reading.” The book club meets every month from October to May and reaches more than 4,000 preschool and first-grade students throughout Hampton and Newport News. “When you put a book in a child’s hand, they’ll learn to appreciate it,” said Barber. “Books offer discovery and learning.”

from Joint personal property processing office 633RD LOGISTICS READINESS SQUADRON

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. -- Transitioning to a new permanent change of station assignment can be an exciting, yet hectic, experience for the entire family, particularly during the summer “peak moving season.” The733rd Logistic Readiness Squadron personal property processing office aims to provide Service members with the necessary information to adequately prepare for all phases of a PCS move, including pre-move, packing, shipment pickup and delivery at the final destination. To help Service members transition smoothly, the SPPP office assembled a list of tips to help ensure a successful move: · Try to schedule move dates on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to avoid wait times. · Avoid the last week of any month as tensions, delays and cancelations increase due to the sheer volume of moves. · Provide Joint Personal Property Shipping Office counselors legible orders and documents. · Start working on securing move dates immediately after PCS orders are in hand. Any delay will limit JPPSO’s ability to accommodate Service members’ preferred dates. · Provide counselors alternate move out dates that are at least two weeks out from the original date. · Be aware that due to overall carrier capacity issues we may need to utilize origin storage in order to get property picked up. If so, this could delay or add time to the delivery at destination. · If pressed for time, seek alternate modes or sources of transportation during such as a Personally Procured Move (formerly known as a Do-It-Yourself Move) as an option. · Avoid making major decisions or commitments until move dates are confirmed with the Transportation Service Provider or carrier. JPPSO Northeast will utilize all resources available to accommodate Service members during a PCS move, but adds that Service members’ flexibility and involvement is critical throughout the stressful moving process. For more information, contact the Langley Personal Property Office at (757) 764-4171, (757) 764-7868 or (757) 764-7869 or JPPSO NE’s Customer Service Department at (781)377-3700

Air Force reveals B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber By Mike Martin SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James revealed the first rendering of the Long Range Strike Bomber, designated the B-21, at the Air Force Association’s Air Warfare Symposium Feb. 26 in Orlando, Fla., and announced the Air Force will be taking suggestions from Airmen to help decide the name of the bomber. “This aircraft represents the future for our Airmen, and (their) voice is important to this process,” James said. “The Airman who submits the selected name will help me announce it at the (Air Force Association) conference this fall.” While there are no existing prototypes of the aircraft, the artist rendering is based on the initial design concept. The designation B-21 recognizes the LRS-B as the

first bomber of the 21st century. The reveal comes just weeks after both James and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III delivered the fiscal year 2017 posture statement before the Senate Appropriations Committee, making it clear modernization is a top priority for the Air Force. “The platforms and systems that made us great over the last 50 years will not make us great over the next 50,” Welsh said during his testimony on Capitol Hill Feb. 10. “There are many other systems we need to either upgrade or recapitalize to ensure viability against current and emerging threats… the only way to do that is to divest old capability to build the new.” James said the B-21 will allow the Air Force to operate in tomorrow’s high end threat environment, and give the Air Force the flexibility and the capability to launch from the continental United States and deliver airstrikes on any location in the world.

IF YOU THINK IT LOOKS GREAT ON PAPER, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE IT IN ACTION.

U.S. Air Force graphic

James also explained why the B-21 shares some resemblance to the B-2. “The B-21 has been designed from the beginning based on a set of requirements that allows the use of existing and mature technology,” James said. The program recently entered into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase and the Air Force plans to field the initial capability of the aircraft in mid-2020s. Airmen -- Active, Guard, Reserve and civilian -should stay tuned to AF.mil and Air Force social media accounts for more information on how to submit their ideas.

LANGLEY AIRMEN HELP TORNADO VICTIMS START OVER Story/Photos by Staff Sgt. J.D. Strong II 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

BELOW: Volunteers gather at Langley Air Force Base, Va., Feb. 26, 2016.Twenty U.S. Airmen from Langley Air Force Base drove an hour west to Waverly Va., in a volunteer effort to help with the cleanup and rebuilding of the city after a tornado attacked the town.

The wind started to pick up, so I closed the door. When I opened the door again it was a mess out there. It tore up people’s houses. I walked around to where a trailer was...it was no longer, nor was my friends trailer...I lost a few of my friends,” said Sheila Jones, Waverly resident. On Feb. 26, 2016, 20 U.S. Air Force Airmen volunteers from Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, drove an hour west to Waverly, Virginia, to help clean-up the city ravaged by a tornado just two days prior. The enhanced fujita scale-one tornado’s 110 miles per hour winds destroyed homes, local businesses, flipped cars, knocked over trees, caused three fatalities and injured others. “It’s devastating, I don’t know what I would do in this situation seeing my home torn to pieces or seeing my community in pain from losing members,” said Senior Airman Shelby Yeaples, 633rd Communications Squadron knowledge management specialist. “[Waverly] are our family and our family is hurting [helping] is something we need to do, if something was to happen in Hampton we would hope that people would come and help us too.”

The Airmen, in collaboration with 200 volunteers from surrounding cities, the Red Cross and Operation Blessing, gathered at a vacant grocery store that acted as a tornado relief zone, collecting donations of food, water, blankets and clothing items for the town residents. Throughout the morning, the Waverly residents expressed gratitude to the Airmen and other volunteers who came to help. “People are coming to help us, just like we would come help them,” said Jones. “Everyone is trying to pull together. That’s what you’re supposed to do, pull together and help one another.” Jones said as the Airmen cleared wreckage from homes and local businesses and sifted through broken pieces of personal belongings, pulling memories out of debris, the locals and military members working side-by-the-side inspired hope. “[Waverly] is a family, one big family” said Jones, who lost friends in the tornado attack. “May take a little work, but we will do it, put it back to what it was.” As the day drew on, the Airmen and residents shifted their efforts to cleaning up the Waverly Cemetery. The volunteers lifted toppled headstones, cleared knocked over trees and picked up debris throughout the cemetery.

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. -Experiencing unexplainable pain can be frustrating. Whether the pain is making it difficult to walk, exercise or even commute, something must be done to diagnose and find the problem, then create a plan to alleviate the pain. The 633rd Surgical Operations Squadron Radiology department at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, supports and provides the images to diagnose patients’ illnesses and injuries while providing 24-hour support for the emergency room.

Hospital personnel use MRI machines’ ability to show enhanced detail to locate issues not seen while using an X-ray.

• The Peninsula Warrior - Air Force

“Radiology is the ‘eyes of the hospital’,” said Senior Airman Glen Daniels, 633rd SOS diagnostic imaging technician. “Without radiology, doctors and providers wouldn’t know what’s going on beneath the skin without performing a surgery.” Radiology consists of five separate departments that see approximately 41,000 patients a year, sending diagnostic imagery to Family Health, Women’s Health and other clinics within the hospital. The clinic helps physicians diagnose patient illness and injuries through Xrays, mammography, MRI, CT and Ultrasound. The X-ray machines take two-dimensional images to include fluoroscopy during studies such as esophagrams. Mammography also uses two-dimensional images but for early breast cancer detection. The MRI and CT departments use cross-sectional imaging to study organs and vessels. The Ultrasound department uses ultrasonic sound waves to visualize fetuses, abdominal organs and major vessels. “Radiology is readily available for surgery and other emergency cases to ensure our active-duty members remain fit to fight,” said Daniels. “In addition

to providing quality services to Service members, we also provide care for retirees and dependents.” As the influx of patients continues to grow, Radiology looks to expand and improve their patient’s care with better equipment, said Daniels. The department looks forward to receiving a new CT machine that will allow for more detailed exams and provide care for more patients. When construction is finished within the building, the department plans to bring the MRI machine inside, eliminating patients having to walk outside. Daniels said he takes great pride in the work that he and his coworkers perform daily. “I make sure the patient is as comfortable as possible for their exam, while also helping to figure out what is ailing them,” said Daniels. “The machines expand the physician’s knowledge of the patient’s epidemiology, which can give the patient a sense of ease. Patients may be scared of the medical exams that radiology provides, but my peers and I provide care using the best technology available, which creates a healthcare environment that the Air Force and its people can be proud of.”
