“I fly atop the world’s tallest building; I stand watch in America’s halls of justice,” said retired U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Deborah Rothwell, as she stood tall with her head held a little higher. What started as a favor for a close Wingman has now evolved into a calling. At the request of her friend, Rothwell recited a poem entitled “Old Glory” during her retirement ceremony in 2002. Although skeptical of the unfamiliar task, and with only a few days to practice, she took on the job. To date, she has given her soulful rendition of the poem more than 300 times. As a tradition she began while on active-duty, Rothwell has continued to honor friends, Wingmen, and service members with her powerful voice, even now, as a veteran. “That day, I got up, I was a little nervous, but I said, ‘I can do this,’” she said. “So I started off, ‘I am the flag of the United States of America... My name ... is Old Glory,’ and that started everything from then on.” After that first rendition, she says people would request for her to perform the poem for prominent occasions and ceremonies. It’s at that moment that she realized the significance of what she was doing. “When people started calling and asking me if I would do it, I started looking at things that were happening in the world,” said Rothwell. “I wanted to make this really special for everybody so I started adding little things in that would really touch

Americans, whether veteran or not.” No matter if performing the poem for a retirement or promotion ceremony, Rothwell said she feels great dignity sharing her talent. “When I hear the applause or look on the family’s faces I feel proud,” said Rothwell. “Air Force, Navy or Marines, I do it for everybody. I just enjoy making the families and veterans feel good about their service to the United States.” Since that first rendition 14 years ago, Rothwell said her most memorable experience reciting “Old Glory” was during her husband’s funeral. She said honoring her husband with her recital was a way to pay tribute not only to his service as a veteran, but also to their 35 year marriage as well. “My sister-in-law called me and she said to me, ‘Who’s going to do ‘Old Glory’ for Leon?’” said Rothwell.

Although hesitant of her ability to deliver the poem during the difficult time, she said she knew that if she could do it for others, she could surely honor her husband as well. “I got up and did it and I felt like he was so proud of me,” she said. “I was overwhelmed by the response from the folks at the memorial; they gave me a standing ovation that I got through it.” Whenever she delivers the lyrics it’s as if she is transformed into another person; like a trance, she is captivated by the delivery of every word of the poem she so eloquently conveys. “They’re expecting something out of me, so I say I’m going to give it to them, and I give them Old Glory,” Said Rothwell. “I can see the effect it has on people when I [read the poem]. I guess it’s the power behind the voice.”

Women’s Health keeps up with the summer rush By Airman 1st Class Kaylee Dubois 633 AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

With the summer season underway, the Women’s Health clinic at U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley has encountered an influx of patients. According to U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Ashley Williams, 633rd Medical Group Women’s Health Clinic non-commissioned officer in charge, the clinic sees more than 120 patients during their busiest months. Due to the high volume of patients, the clinical providers have recently adjusted their schedules to accommodate active duty patients from the Langley Family Health Clinic and the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Along with taking in patients from other clinics and hospitals, the WHC is being overwhelmed with patients who need to be seen prior to undergoing a permanent change of station. “As of right now we’ve been able to manage, but we haven’t exactly reached the heart of our summer yet,” said Wil-

liams. “It’s great that we have this connection with other hospitals because we can just put in a simple referral and then the patients can start receiving their care.” The combined obstetrics and gynecology clinic offers mammograms, pap smears, a dysplasia clinic, pregnancy care and every form of birth control. Patients with complications outside the hospital’s scope of care are more likely to be referred to NMCP or a civilian hospital. “It’s as simple as putting in a referral,” said Williams. “It boils down to whether our hospital can accommodate for a patient, and patients are provided with more options for their care.” Williams said it has been a relief being able to refer a patient to other hospitals in the area if necessary. For now, the Women’s Health Clinic is doing what they can to see all of their patients at the Langley clinic, said Williams. For more information or to schedule an appointment with the Women’s Health Clinic, contact the U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley at 764-7630.

HELPFUL MOVING TIPS FOR SMOOTH MOVE

News Release LANGLEY PERSONAL PROPERTY 733RD LOGISTICS READINESS SQUADRON

The permanent change of station season is here, and to help the Joint Base Langley-Eustis community with challenges members might incur while transitioning to a new duty location the 733rd Logistics Readiness Squadron Personal Property Processing office provided smooth move tips. 1. When possible, schedule move dates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. Monday and Friday are the busiest days to move. 2. Avoid the last week of any month as tensions, delays and cancelations can increase due to the sheer volume of end-of-the-month moves. 3. Ensure all documents and orders provided to the Joint Personal Property Shipping office are legible. 4. Begin securing move dates

7 immediately after you receive PCS orders in hand. Delays will limit the JPPS office’s ability to accommodate service members’ preferred dates. 5. Provide the JPPS office counselor’s alternate move-out dates that are at least two weeks out from the original dates. 6. Remain aware that due to overall carrier capacity issues, the JPPS office may need to utilize origin storage. If this is the case, it could delay or add time to your delivery at destination. 7. If pressed for time, seek alternate modes or sources of transportation including a “Personally Procured Move,” formerly known as a Do-It-Yourself Move. 8. Avoid making major decisions or commitments until move dates are confirmed with the Transportation Service Provider or carrier. For more information, please contact the Langley Personal Property office at (757) 764-4171 or 764-7868 or JPPSO Northeast’s Customer Service Department at (781) 377-3700.

GRAND OPENING WEEK Transgender Service JULY 2ND! Members Can Now Serve

Openly, Carter Announces By Terri Moon Cronk DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

Located in Cape Charles, VA

Transgender service members in the U.S. military can now openly serve their country without fear of retribution, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced today, a policy decision that overturns the ban on transgender service across all branches of service, effective immediately. Following a study at his direction, the secretary said during a Pentagon news conference, three main reasons led to the decision to lift the transgender ban: the force of the future, the existing force and matters of principle.

Ban Lifted Immediately

Unplug To Reconnect

“As a result of the yearlong study, I’m announcing today that we are ending the ban on transgender Americans in the United States military. Effective immediately, transgender Americans may serve openly, and they can no longer be discharged or otherwise separated from the military just for being transgender,” Carter said. Further, he said, he has directed that the gender identity of an otherwise qualified individual will not bar him or her from military service or from any accession program.

Force of the Future Needs Best Talent

WE ARE PET FRIENDLY

BOOK NOW AT SUNSETBEACHVA.COM 757.331.1776

Cape Charles, Va

“[We in] the Defense Department and the military need to avail ourselves of all talent possible … to remain what we are now – the finest fighting force the world has ever known,” Carter said. “Our mission is to defend this country,” he added, “and we don’t want barriers unrelated to a person’s qualifications to serve preventing us from recruiting or retaining the soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine who can best accomplish the mission.” The Defense Department must have access to 100 percent of America’s popu-

lation for its all-volunteer force to be able to recruit from among the most highly qualified, and to retain them, the secretary told reporters. Because an estimated 7,000 active and reserve transgender service members on the upper end now wear a military uniform, “I have a responsibility to them and their commanders to provide them both with clearer and more consistent guidance than is provided by current policies,” Carter emphasized.

Minimal Readiness Impact Based on the working group’s analysis of 18 allied militaries including those of the United Kingdom, Australia and Israel and the expected rate at which American transgender service members would require medical treatment that would affect their fitness for duty and deployability, a Rand Corp. analysis concluded that there would be minimal readiness impacts from allowing transgender service members to serve openly, the secretary said. And while transgender numbers are small, they serve the country with honor and distinction, Carter said, noting that DoD invests hundreds of thousands of dollars to train and develop each individual. “And we want to take the opportunity to retain people whose talents we’ve invested in and who have proven themselves,” he added.

Medical Expenses Until today’s change in policy, transgender service members had to seek out-of-pocket medical care from private doctors who deemed whether certain procedures were necessary. “This is inconsistent with our promise to all our troops that we will take care of them and pay for necessary medical treatment,” the secretary said, adding that Rand found health care costs would represent “an exceedingly small proportion” of DoD’s overall health care expenditures.

Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announces a new transgender policy for the Department of Defense at the Pentagon , June 30.

Civilian federal employees have access to a health insurance plan that provides comprehensive coverage for transgender-related care and medical treatment, he noted.

Matters of Principle The secretary said he and senior DoD leaders met in the past year with transgender service members who have deployed all over the world, serving on aircraft, submarines, forward operating bases and in the Pentagon. The yearlong study was carefully examined for medical, legal and policy considerations that have been rapidly evolving in recent years and in light of DoD’s unique nature of military readiness “to make sure the department got it right,” Carter said. After talking with doctors, employers and insurance companies, he said, it became clear that “transgender” is becoming common and normalized in public and private sectors, and he noted a “sea change” in the past decade.

Future Policy Phases The new policies related to lifting the transgender ban will take place over the next 12 months, beginning with immediate guidance for service members and commanders, the secretary said. Next will follow training the entire force, and DoD will then start accessing new military service members who are transgender. In no more than 90 days, DoD will

issue a commanders’ guidebook for leading existing transgender service members, and guidance will be issued to military doctors to provide transitionrelated care if required for existing transgender troops, the secretary said. By ending the ban on transgender service members, “we’re eliminating policies that can result in transgender service members being treated differently from their peers based solely upon their gender identity, rather than their ability to serve,” Carter said. “And we’re confirming that going forward we will apply the same general principles, standards, and procedures to transgender service members as we do to all service members.” Deliberate and thoughtful implementation will be key, he added, and DoD’s senior leaders will ensure all issues identified in the study are addressed in implementation. “I’m 100 percent confident in the ability of our military leaders and all men and women in uniform to implement changes in a manner that both protects the readiness of the force and also upholds values cherished by the military — honor, trust and judging every individual on their merits,” Carter said. Good people are integral to the best military in the world, the secretary said, adding that he’s “we have reason to be proud today of what this will mean for our military — because it is the right thing to do, and it’s another step in ensuring that we continue to recruit and retain the most qualified people.”
